Bang!
Yun'er delivered a powerful strike, causing Ge Muhe to crash into the wall, creating a large dent.
He fell to the ground, rolling in pain, groaning as if he were about to die.
Ye Tian chuckled coldly and said, "Stop pretending. I know you still have some tricks up your sleeve, but I hope you will be honest; otherwise, you'll die even faster."
Upon hearing this, Ge Muhe indeed stood up. He had initially planned to feign weakness and then take advantage of the two youngsters' carelessness to either escape or fight back desperately.
But at this moment, the young man had seen through his act, making it pointless to continue pretending.
"Heh heh, I never expected that after decades of dominance, I would fall today at the hands of you two juniors," Ge Muhe laughed strangely, seemingly quite unafraid.
"Do you really think you deserve the title of 'dominance'?" Ye Tian asked with a smile.
"Damn it, are you looking down on me?" Ge Muhe glared. Just moments ago, he had wanted to learn some heroic last words, but he didn't expect this kid to show him no respect at all.
"It's not that I look down on you; it's that you're simply not worth my attention," Ye Tian replied as he sat down and picked up his tea. "Someone like you doesn't even qualify for me to glance at."
"Kid, don't be too arrogant. If I self-destruct my energy, none of you will survive!" Ge Muhe began to threaten.
"Self-destruct your energy? Heh heh, go ahead and try," Ye Tian said calmly. For him, a self-detonation from a Sixth-Stage Martial Artist posed no threat at all.
Ge Muhe's old eyes flickered as he pondered his next move.
"I advise you to save your strength and stop struggling." Yun'er thought the old man looked more like a fox trying to be caught by a hunter, deeply trapped yet still scheming.
Thud!
Ge Muhe suddenly knelt down, his old face instantly changing from a gloomy expression to one of tears flowing freely, the transformation so quick it was astonishing.
"I'm not having it easy either. Both of you are esteemed disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect; why make things difficult for me? Spare me this time, and I promise I won't do anything bad again," Ge Muhe pleaded desperately.
Ye Tian and Yun'er exchanged a glance, both feeling utterly helpless. Although this fellow switched between expressions with ease, his acting was truly poor.
His appearance did not seem like someone begging for mercy; instead, it was filled with an unmistakable intent that one day he would ensure both of them would meet a grim fate.
"Get up. I haven't prepared any food or drink for you; just have some tea before you go," Ye Tian said as he poured a cup of tea and brought it to Ge Muhe.
As Ye Tian approached, it became clear that there was a fierce glint in Ge Muhe's eyes. Without needing to ask, it was obvious that the old man was considering making a move.
However, when he saw the disdainful look on Ye Tian's face, that thought quickly vanished.
Though his strength and intelligence were lacking, after years of wandering, he still had some insight. He understood that even if he attempted a sneak attack, he posed no threat to this young man.
Taking the tea, Ge Muhe brought it to his lips but began to sob again, his weathered face marked by the passage of time.
This time he acted convincingly, evoking a sense of tragic despair as if he were an old man left alone in his twilight years.
"Stop acting already; hurry up," Ye Tian urged impatiently. He was no kind-hearted person; having seen many like this before, he naturally felt no sympathy whatsoever.
It is not entirely accurate to say that there is no sympathy; otherwise, he wouldn't have served him tea for his departure.
"Alas..." Ge Muhe sighed deeply, finishing the tea in one gulp. He looked at Ye Tian, seemingly wanting to say something.
"Do you have more to say? Words of entrustment or sudden enlightenment?" Ye Tian asked with a smile, knowing that this guy must have come up with another bad idea.
Ge Muhe slightly opened his mouth, as if about to speak, while Ye Tian focused intently, waiting for him to begin.
Swish!
However, he did not speak. Instead, he hurled the teacup at Ye Tian. The cup suddenly shattered mid-air, turning into countless shards that sliced toward Ye Tian like knives.
"You can't even drink tea honestly and you break someone else's cup."
Ye Tian sneered, completely ignoring the sharp shards and boldly advancing toward them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The shards struck the Bagua Pattern that suddenly appeared in front of Ye Tian, disintegrating into powder.
Then, under Ge Muhe's sorrowful gaze, Ye Tian's hand had already gripped his neck. With just a little pressure, his neck would snap.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I have secrets that can save my life! Please don't kill me!"
At this moment, Ge Muhe truly felt the threat of death and dared not entertain any more malicious thoughts. He could only plead loudly, utterly desperate.
"You can't have any secrets." Ye Tian did not let go; this guy was trouble and couldn't be trusted.
"I really do, I really do!" Ge Muhe was anxious, fearing that Ye Tian wouldn't believe him.
"Let's hear it then." Ye Tian wasn't afraid of him causing trouble; after all, his life was in his own hands. Even if he took a hit, it wouldn't matter much, considering that with Ye Tian's current physical strength, even a Martial Unity Expert couldn't compare.
"Aren't you curious how I know that the Cloud Sea Sect is going to deal with me?" Ge Muhe saw an opportunity and was very excited.
"Those who play coy usually end up badly." Ye Tian tightened his grip.
"Cough cough cough..." Ge Muhe nearly choked and coughed several times. He had initially wanted to bargain with Ye Tian for his life, but seeing the current situation, he realized he had no chance or leverage.
If he spoke, there might be a chance to live; if he didn't, he would definitely die. It was an obvious choice.
"It was someone from the Cloud Sea Sect who leaked the news!" Ge Muhe exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian loosened his grip. However, he didn't do so because of what Ge Muhe said; it was normal for the tens of thousands of disciples in the Cloud Sea Sect to have mixed qualities—there was nothing surprising about that.
He loosened his grip because he hadn't intended to kill Ge Muhe in the first place. This decision came after he had gathered information from Mr. Pan.
According to Mr. Pan, after Ge Muhe arrived at the Pan Family, he was well-liked and everyone enjoyed this humorous old man. Moreover, Little Tong Village hadn't reported any bad incidents; instead, the local ruffians had significantly restrained themselves.
Of course, the ruffians' restraint wasn't due to Ge Muhe's newfound kindness but rather a habit of bandits competing for territory and influence.
As for why he hadn't done anything wrong privately, it didn't matter. What was important was that since coming here, he indeed hadn't committed any wrongdoing—even if it was because he hadn't had the opportunity, that wasn't a significant issue.
In short, the crime does not warrant death, but living with guilt is unavoidable.
After all, he had committed too many evil deeds in the past; otherwise, the Cloud Sea Sect would not have sent a mission to capture him.
"I... if I tell you who that person is, can you spare my life?" Ge Muhe timidly asked, sensing an opportunity.
"Go ahead and tell me," Ye Tian replied, as he had no intention of killing him and decided to grant him a favor.
"I'm afraid it might scare you!" Ge Muhe keenly sensed that his life was no longer in danger and fell back into his old habits.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian's killing intent surged, instantly frightening Ge Muhe to the point of trembling uncontrollably.
"Do you still think I would be scared?"
"No, no..." Ge Muhe shook his head repeatedly and said, "But that person's identity is indeed terrifying; it's... it's..."
"Don't beat around the bush. If you take too long, you won't get another chance," Ye Tian threatened.
"It's not that I don't want to say it; I'm just afraid that if I do, my life will be in danger," Ge Muhe grinned nervously. Clearly, in his mind, that person was even more frightening than Ye Tian.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Ye Tian suddenly frowned. Judging by Ge Muhe's reaction, that person was likely a significant figure in the Cloud Sea Sect.
"If you don't speak up now, you can leave this world right away," Ye Tian threatened again, prompting Ge Muhe to immediately open his mouth. At that moment, Ye Tian even doubted how someone like him could have caused so much trouble before...
"It’s... a direct disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect..." Ge Muhe cautiously glanced around.
"Rest assured, there is no one else here," Ye Tian comforted, but it was clear that the direct disciples were not limited to just a few; there were many disciples from the Cloud Sea Clan, most of whom were insignificant figures.
"Just direct disciples?"
"Are direct disciples not enough weight?"
"I am a Cloud Token holder. If you can provide valuable information, I can ensure your removal from the Cloud Sea Sect's Mission Board," Ye Tian said seriously.
"What!"
"Stop wasting time, just speak."
Ge Muhe was stunned for a long time before he regained his composure, but his face had turned ashen because the person he mentioned was also a Cloud Token holder!
Being caught between two Cloud Token holders was an experience one could only imagine.
Ye Tian had already guessed from his expression that the person was likely in the same position as himself—a Cloud Token holder!
"You only need to tell me which pavilion he belongs to."
"I am just their tool; do you really think I want to commit evil deeds? They are the ones threatening me," Ge Muhe answered evasively.
"What I asked is, which pavilion does he belong to!" Ye Tian's tone turned stern.
"I really can't say..." Ge Muhe's gaze was fixed outside the window.
Ye Tianxin was startled and followed his gaze, only to see a faint silhouette appearing outside through a layer of window paper.
"Yun'er, be careful!" Ye Tianjing shouted as he lunged towards Yun'er.
Bang!
A violent shockwave collided, causing the ground to tremble.
Half of the wall in the small room collapsed, with flying dust mingling with snowflakes.
Ye Tian acted in time, and Yun'er was unharmed. However, both were shocked; what kind of power did this person possess to evade Ye Tian's perception and appear silently just a window away?
"Help me!"
At that moment, a scream echoed from inside the room. But when Ye Tian rushed in, Ge Muhe had already become a corpse with its head blown apart.
Crack!
Ye Tian clenched his fist, making a sound of frustration as he looked toward the dissipating dust.
There, a figure flashed away, leaving behind only cold laughter and an eerie Shadow Falcon.
