"Damn it, who are you trying to scare? I'm talking to you!"
Zuo Hu's anger exploded. As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Nan, who was beside him, grabbed his arm.
"Zuo Hu, calm down. Ye Cangtian is deliberately trying to provoke you, to make you attack him!"
Meng Nan was no fool. With not many people around, they couldn't rashly attack Ye Cangtian.
"Meng Nan, you don't need to be nervous!"
Zuo Hu snorted coldly, shaking off Meng Nan's hand, and continued, "Those useless people from the Hidden Group are not worth me making a move here. There will be plenty of opportunities later!"
Hearing this, Meng Nan felt relieved.
As long as Zuo Hu didn't act impulsively, they should be fine. After all, Ye Cangtian had to consider the reputation of Misty Rain Tower.
However, at this moment, the relief Meng Nan had just felt was instantly replaced by renewed tension.
A hand of spiritual energy had already formed in the air, reaching out to slap Zuo Hu.
Meng Nan's eyes widened. He had just been thinking that Ye Cangtian wouldn't make a move, but to his surprise, he was proven wrong so quickly.
"Hmph! If you have the guts, don't stop!"
Zuo Hu snorted coldly. Facing the incoming palm, he didn't dodge at all. Instead, he straightened his back.
In his opinion, Ye Cangtian was just putting on a show. How dare he actually hit him!
Unless the Hidden Group dared to antagonize Misty Rain Tower. But did the Hidden Group have such courage?
*Slap!*
As Zuo Hu's voice faded, the spiritual energy palm landed heavily on Zuo Hu's cheek.
In an instant, Zuo Hu seemed to turn into a cannonball, sent flying backward.
Seeing this, Meng Nan was once again dumbfounded.
He had listened to Zuo Hu's words, thinking that Ye Cangtian might just be scaring Zuo Hu, but his judgment was wrong again, and he was proven wrong!
"You've been scrambling in ruins for so many years, and you still haven't learned to respect the strong. Then today, I will teach you!"
"I wonder if you've learned now!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the staggering Zuo Hu, speaking with icy coldness.
You...
Feeling the throbbing pain on his cheek and hearing the opponent's words, Zuo Hu trembled all over.
All his life, he had never suffered such humiliation, especially not in front of his own disciples. How could he lead the Tiger King Sect in the future!
"Ye Cangtian, I vow to fight you to the death today!"
Anger once again clouded his judgment. Zuo Hu drew his saber and charged towards Ye Cangtian.
Not good!
Seeing that Zuo Hu had gone mad, Meng Nan quickly tried to stop him, but was forced back by a palm strike from Zuo Hu.
Now Zuo Hu had completely lost his mind. His only thought was to kill Ye Cangtian!
"You little bug, you still don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Then today I will make you understand!"
Watching Zuo Hu's saber attack, Ye Cangtian snorted coldly and then extended his large hand.
In an instant, with a *snap*, Ye Cangtian's large hand firmly clamped onto the saber.
This...
Seeing this, both Meng Nan and Zuo Hu were stunned.
They knew there was a gap in strength between them and Ye Cangtian, but they didn't expect it to be so vast.
As an eighth-level cultivator, Zuo Hu's enraged strike should have made even a Heaven-level cultivator avoid its sharpness.
Yet Ye Cangtian had neutralized it with just two fingers.
This situation truly shocked them both.
With such formidable strength, even if everyone present attacked him, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything to Ye Cangtian!
While thinking this, Ye Cangtian on the other side showed a playful smile and said, "Zuo Hu, your chattering ability is quite good, but your strength is far too lacking!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian raised his other hand.
Seeing Ye Cangtian's palm strike, Zuo Hu directly abandoned his saber and prepared to dodge.
However, he couldn't dodge the palm that seemed light and slow, and it landed heavily on his other cheek, sending him flying again.
Ye Cangtian glanced at the large hand in his hand and casually waved it a couple of times.
This saber looked domineering, but its quality was actually average. It could at most match a golden large ring saber and didn't really catch his eye.
*Clang!*
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian flicked his wrist, directly throwing the saber in front of Zuo Hu, where it plunged deeply into the ground.
You!
Looking at the saber planted beside his neck, Zuo Hu's full reservoir of anger instantly extinguished.
If Ye Cangtian had wanted his life just now, he would have been headless.
Because of this, he finally saw the gap between them clearly and no longer dared to provoke him.
"Zuo Hu, today is just a lesson for you!"
"If you dare to speak disrespectfully to the Hidden Group in the future, you won't be so lucky!"
Seeing that Zuo Hu's spirit was broken, Ye Cangtian gave a faint warning, then looked at Meng Nan and said, "You too, be careful, and don't keep walking down the path of seeking death!"
After speaking, Ye Cangtian gave a signal to Qiangwei and the others, and then left the scene.
Damn it... oΓg
Watching Ye Cangtian's receding back, both Zuo Hu and Meng Nan's faces were extremely cold, wishing they could rush up and stab him a few times.
However, knowing the gap, neither of them dared to say anything more. In the end, they could only choose to endure and head towards Misty Rain Tower together.
Misty Rain Tower Camp.
When Ye Cangtian arrived here, representatives from various factions had mostly arrived.
Ye Cangtian first gave a signal and then walked into the main tent of Misty Rain Tower.
"Young friend, it's wonderful to see you!"
"We haven't heard any news from you and thought something had happened!"
As soon as they entered the main tent, the other faction leaders in the tent were resting, waiting for the remaining factions to arrive.
They merely glanced at Ye Cangtian.
Although Ye Cangtian was strong, the Hidden Group had too few people, and they had offended quite a few people.
Therefore, everyone directly ignored Ye Cangtian. Only Qingyan, with a faint smile on her face, greeted him.
Ye Cangtian glanced at Qingyan, cupped his hands, and said, "Fortunately, everything is thanks to you, Master Qingyan. Thank you for your concern."
Qingyan waved her hand with a smile upon hearing this and said, "You're too kind, young friend. How was your harvest in the rainforest? Are you satisfied?"
"It was alright!"
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "Because we started late, we didn't encounter any monstrous beasts. We only collected ordinary herbs that you all look down upon."
As the saying goes, wealth should not be revealed. Qingyan was probing, and Ye Cangtian naturally wouldn't tell her the truth.
"That's a pity!"
Qingyan said with a look of regret, then added, "But it doesn't matter. The operation isn't over yet. You still have a chance to find treasures..."
"Master Qingyan, I find you to be the only honest person! You believe everything he says!"
"Ye Cangtian was just showing off in front of us, saying that they found a secret realm. Do you think he wouldn't have any gains?"
As soon as Qingyan's voice fell, Zuo Hu's voice was heard.
The next moment, Zuo Hu, with a sinister smile on his face, walked in with Meng Nan.
In Zuo Hu's opinion, everyone participating in the peak meeting was here for treasures, and a secret realm was a place with a very high probability of producing treasures.
Therefore, after exposing this matter, he believed that many people would seek trouble with the Hidden Group, trying to seize the treasures.
In this way, no matter how strong Ye Cangtian was, he couldn't possibly deal with the combined efforts of all factions.
As expected, as soon as his voice fell, all eyes in the main tent turned to Ye Cangtian.
Some had puzzled looks, wanting to know what treasures the Hidden Group had obtained.
Some had flickering gazes, directly contemplating how to deal with the Hidden Group.
Qingyan, seated at the head of the table, saw everything before her and her expression changed. If this continued, all factions would descend into chaos.
How could they have the strength to enter the Mustard Seed Space then?
"Kid, you are truly blessed! You actually found a secret realm."
Qingyan smiled slightly and continued, "Everyone, no need to be envious. The rainforest is vast, and there's still a chance to encounter secret realms! Besides, we still need to find the Mustard Seed Space!"
Heh, this old man's words are quite well-spoken.
As Qingyan's voice fell, Ye Cangtian immediately showed a playful smile.
Regardless of his previous opinion of Qingyan, Qingyan's words at this moment were definitely aimed at helping him and the Hidden Group out of a difficult situation.
And Qingyan's words did have some effect. The wolf-like gazes of the crowd had eased considerably.
It was clear that they had understood the priority.
