Unaware of Ye Qiu's identity, Ximen Tian's smile never faded.
Seeing that Ye Qiu seemed to have sent a message to someone, Ximen Tian mocked, "You're not looking for reinforcements, are you? Haha, kid, let me tell you, in the capital, the Ximen family fears no one."
Even the exceptionally powerful Xia Wu Emperor might not be able to defeat our clan leader.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu was secretly startled.
Immediately, he feigned some panic and asked, "Oh? The patriarch of the Ximen family is so powerful, I wonder what realm he has reached?"
"Beyond the Divine Seal by half a step, what realm would you say that is?"
Ximen Tianxiao grew increasingly smug, because he saw that Ye Qiu seemed afraid.
"So, it's just the half-step Cave Realm?"
"Pretty much. To say that he is invincible in this world is probably fair. So you'd better kneel down and beg for mercy now, or you'll regret it later." Ximen Tian said calmly, arms crossed.
Ye Qiu frowned. If what Ximen Tian said was true, then the Ximen family was indeed not to be underestimated.
On Blue Star, those at the Divine Seal Realm are already among the most powerful experts.
The Half-Step Cave Realm is something many people have never even heard of.
Or perhaps, most people don't even know what level of cultivation the Cave Method is.
"Hey kid, my older brother is talking to you, are you deaf?"
Xi Mentian, a young man of about twenty, shouted loudly.
Ye Qiu looked up and glanced at the man.
Immediately afterward, the young man who claimed Ye Qiu was deaf was suddenly and strangely sent flying dozens of meters backward, falling into a stinking ditch.
Ximen Tian's pupils contracted, and he immediately realized that the person in front of him was a top-notch expert.
"You are no ordinary cultivator. I underestimated you."
Ximen Tian felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
"Just wait patiently until your family arrives," Ye Qiu said calmly.
Xi Mentian felt inexplicably uneasy.
His intention was to intimidate Ye Qiu; he did not want his family to come.
The clan always emphasized that its members should be extremely low-key, but he violated the rules.
Thinking of this, Ximen Tian became even more flustered and immediately said, "It was just a joke, why did you take it so seriously? I'm not playing anymore today, it's not fun at all, goodbye."
After saying that, Ximen Tian turned around and wanted to leave.
Ye Qiu wouldn't let Ximen Tian leave and immediately stepped in to stop him.
Ximen Tian's face turned cold, and he punched Ye Qiu's hand.
Ye Qiu's outstretched hand instantly transformed into a claw, gripping Ximen Tian's wrist.
Ximen Tian's face darkened, his fingers glowed, and he tried to break free from Ye Qiu's grasp.
But Ye Qiu's hand was like an iron clamp, gripping his wrist tightly, and he couldn't shake it off at all.
"Damn it, what are you all standing there for? Go!"
Ximen Tian roared angrily.
Those nearby heard the sound and quickly took action.
But before they could even get close to Ye Qiu, they were all sent flying backwards and fell unconscious dozens of meters away.
"Your brothers don't seem to be up to the task."
Ye Qiu gave a half-smile.
"These useless people."
Ximen Tian was so angry that his face turned red and his breathing became heavy.
It was originally his show-off event; he just wanted to let loose in an ordinary place, show off a bit, and pick up girls.
But now, things haven't gone as planned; they've run into a tough opponent, and the situation has become extremely passive.
"Ximen Tian, don't even think about escaping. Isn't your Ximen family invincible in the capital? Don't worry, your family will come to your rescue in a moment," Ye Qiu said.
“If you release me now, I can pretend nothing happened. But if you push me too far, I’m capable of anything,” Ximen Tian said in a low voice.
"What do you want?" Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, disliking the arrogant and foolish air about Ximen Tian. "Who gave you the courage to talk to me like that?"
"Who exactly are you?"
Ximen Tian gritted his teeth.
"You'll find out soon enough. Lie down on the ground for a while. I'm tired of holding your hand."
Ye Qiu kicked Ximen Tian's legs twice.
Ximen Tian screamed in agony, immediately lost his balance, and fell to the ground.
"Brother Chu, keep an eye on him."
Ye Qiu gave a brief explanation.
"good."
Chu Xiao stood beside Ximen Tian like a robot, staring at Ximen Tian without moving.
Ximen was so angry he almost vomited blood. He roared, "I was just flirting with a few girls, you don't need to make such a big deal out of it!"
“The Great Xia has its own laws. You rely on your family’s power to bully others. Today, we must teach you a lesson,” Ye Qiu said.
"You just want money, don't you? Or do you want to play with martial arts techniques? Just ask, and I'll give it to you. Don't waste your time," Ximen Tian said loudly.
Ye Qiu shook his head, speechless.
Ximen Tian's cultivation level is quite good, but he's not very bright and hasn't figured out some of the problems yet.
He couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to Ximen Tian, so he sat down, picked up a bottle of wine, and continued drinking.
"Young man, you can't drink like that, it's bad for your health," the girl with the ponytail hurriedly stopped Ye Qiu.
She had actually wanted to persuade him before, but she had been holding back because she was very afraid of Chu Xiao.
Ye Qiu waved his hand: "It's alright, I'm in good health, and I want to get drunk today."
"What's so good about being drunk? If you have something on your mind that you want to escape, you don't have to do that. No matter what happens, you have to face it, right?"
"Drunkenness may relieve temporary sorrow, but one always sobers up."
The girl with the ponytail spoke earnestly.
People will eventually come to their senses...
These words, like a bolt of lightning, flashed through Ye Qiu's mind, giving him a jolt!
Yes, people always sober up eventually. Temporarily numbing oneself is not a permanent solution, and Ye Qiu cannot stay 'drunk' forever!
"Young man, if you have something on your mind, you can talk to me. Maybe it will make you feel better," the girl with the ponytail said.
"You've misunderstood," Ye Qiu laughed. "I want to get drunk not because I have something on my mind, but because I'm more likely to kill someone when I'm drunk."
"ah?"
The girl with the ponytail was startled.
"Are you scared? If you are, you can leave first."
"I...I'm not afraid at all." The girl with the ponytail bit her lip, but the way she gripped her skirt tightly betrayed her unease.
"The person has arrived."
Just then, Chu Xiao suddenly spoke up.
Ye Qiu turned his head and saw more than a dozen people rushing towards him.
They are incredibly fast, faster than a car, and arrive in the blink of an eye.
Xia Chen was walking at the front. He was about to bow when Ye Qiu stopped him with a look.
Xia Chen was very wise. He glanced at Ye Qiu's clothes and expression and immediately understood that Ye Qiu did not want to reveal his identity as a Martial Emperor.
"Brother Ye, what brings you here in such a hurry? I have a lot of official business to attend to." Xia Chen smiled at Ye Qiu.
"I'm so sorry to have troubled you to make this trip. Where is the person you brought?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Here."
A man in a black robe stepped out from behind.
He lowered his head, glanced at Ximen Tianhou lying on the ground, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
"Third Uncle, save me."
Ximen Tian called out weakly.
"What help do you need? What trouble have you gotten yourself into that Commander Xia has to call our home personally?"
