The person on the other end of the phone spoke in a way that made one feel a sense of sly delight.
Ye Tian walked to a dark corner, his expression very serious.
"Xing, do you know about it?"
"Boss, so you're calling today not to chat but to handle business." The person on the other end said in a peculiar tone.
"There will be plenty of opportunities to chat later, just tell me if you know." Ye Tian said helplessly.
"Is there anything in this world that our Star Pavilion wouldn't know about?"
"Ah, what you're referring to, I remember."
"Actually, I was curious at the time, why would anyone capture a woman without cultivation. I didn't expect to find something big when investigated."
"Turns out the Mu Family wanted to hide this daughter; she possesses a rare Pure Yin Body, making her naturally inclined for cultivation."
"Initially, Old Sir Mu thought it was just a robbery, someone wanting money. And not wanting to expose his daughter's secret, sought help far and wide."
"But later, after sacrificing several people and bringing back information, they discovered it was the work of some powerful Evil Cultivators."
"Hence, the Mu Family had no choice but to find help. You know, although the Mu Family holds some status, they are merchants and have no strong martial power. If it weren't for their old ancestor being somewhat of Earth Pavilion strength and having good relations due to his age, the Mu Family would've declined."
"However, the strength of the Mu Family's old ancestor is just talk; he might do well in a desperate fight but surely wouldn't fare well in a skirmish. Therefore, the Mu Family had to seek assistance from others."
"Thus, they sought help from the Chen Family, which is a powerful family with many members in the Earth Pavilion. Initially, the Mu Family tried to use money to seek help, but it clearly wasn't successful."
"In the end, Old Sir Mu had to reveal Mu Wan'er's secret to them for them to agree to rescue her."
"It's well known that the Chen Family's Sima Zhao's intentions are no other than this. The Mu Family knew too, but couldn't do anything because they were weak!"
"Who did they send to rescue Mu Wan'er?" Ye Tian asked calmly.
"Oh, the Chen Family seemed to have sent their youngest son, Chen Ziqing, because his elder brothers are often busy with cultivation and seldom leave the Earth Pavilion. And Chen Ziqing is a playboy, relying on family backing with decent talent, hence having Earth Pavilion strength, but he's far from outstanding, nowhere near among the top ten in the Earth Pavilion."
"I heard they eventually succeeded in bringing her back but lost a treasure, so they demanded compensation from the Mu Family. The Mu Family couldn't afford it, thus the Chen Family coerced them into marrying Mu Wan'er to Chen Ziqing."
"Speaking of Chen Ziqing, he causes troubles in the Capital City, with likely many innocent lives lost by his hand."
After hearing this, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Ye Tian's eyes, and he said: "Where is Chen Ziqing now?"
"I heard that tomorrow the Chen and Mu Families will hold the engagement ceremony, inviting many guests. Boss, why are you asking about this today?" The person on the other end asked in confusion.
"Xing, tomorrow, bring the War God Token and strip Chen Ziqing of his Earth Pavilion status, then confine him to Soul Breaking Cliff for two years."
"Boss, is this matter so severe that you have to take action yourself? Looks like the Chen Family is in trouble for daring to offend our Pavilion Master."
"Make another strange sound and I'll appear before you and beat you into a pulp, hurry up and act."
"Rest assured, Star Pavilion works efficiently. But on a note, what reason should we use to deal with him? Directly capturing him might be bad with many people present tomorrow."
"Soldiers cannot be humiliated!!!!" Ye Tian hung up the phone and walked out of the corner.
He seemed like a ruler of darkness, merging with the night and separating from it, strolling on the silent street, filled with a murderous atmosphere.
Tomorrow was destined to be an extraordinary day.
The next day.
Kyoto Chen Family Hall.
The Chen Family truly deserves its reputation as a powerful family in the Capital City; even a hall is extraordinarily luxurious, making one feel like they are within the Imperial Palace, akin to an Emperor.
The hall was bustling with people coming and going; only two elderly men were seen conversing at the main seat, exuding an upper-class aura. But although one elder looked very happy, those observant could notice the hidden helplessness and fear, although he concealed it well.
"Brother Mu, today our two families are bonded; we will surely develop together and become stronger."
"Brother Chen, thanks to your help, Wan'er being able to marry into the Chen Family is her fortune. The banquet has started, let's proceed."
After playing a touching song, a man and a woman walked from afar.
Up close, the woman was truly stunning, with peerless beauty, a gentle and elegant demeanor, icy fair skin akin to jade, smooth and tender like butter, pearly teeth and starry eyes, her body light as a swallow, delicate as a willow, making the guests stare.
In contrast, the man beside her was very handsome but filled with an ominous and evil presence, making people feel very uncomfortable.
However, due to the Chen family's reputation, someone said: "What a pair of golden boy and jade maiden, a match made in heaven."
At the crucial moment of the engagement, the man was about to put the ring on the woman's hand, her expression filled with disgust but helplessness.
At that moment.
"Bang!" A bodyguard flew into the hall.
As the crowd had yet to react, a man leading four or five soldiers with weapons entered, the leader shouted: "Who is Chen Ziqing, stand out!"
"Are you people tired of living, daring to disrupt our Chen Family's celebration."
Hearing someone call him, Chen Ziqing put down the ring and walked over arrogantly.
Old Sir Chen, seeing the engagement banquet disrupted, showed an angry expression and stepped forward.
"Friends, if you can provide an acceptable reason today, you might leave with your lives; otherwise, don't blame the Chen Family for being ruthless."
Chen Ziqing chuckled slightly, not caring and even showing a bit of contempt.
Suddenly, the leading man took out a token from his waist, engraved with a god character, exquisitely crafted with a golden dragon coiled around it, depicting the sun, moon, and stars, exuding an awe-inspiring majesty.
"Pavilion Master orders, strip Chen Ziqing of his Earth Pavilion status and confine him to Soul Breaking Cliff for two years." The leader said expressionless.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ziqing turned pale, as if he'd lost his soul, murmuring: "Impossible, it's fake."
"I didn't do anything wrong, why is the Pavilion Master punishing me, I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced, you're surely trying to harm me, it's fake, fake!!!!!!!!"
Chen Ziqing shook his head vigorously.
Seeing the token, the guests' eyes were filled with fear, as this was the War God Token, symbol of the world's mightiest man.
Chen Ziqing ran to Old Sir Chen seeking help.
Old Sir Chen was also stunned, and after getting his bearings, he said to the leader: "Is it a mistake? Though my grandson is mischievous, he wouldn't cause the Pavilion Master to act personally, you must be mistaken."
Old Sir Chen's tone wasn't as arrogant as before, instead becoming cautious and trembling.
"It is exactly your Chen Family's Chen Ziqing, hand him over now, or don't blame us for being rude." The leader remained expressionless.
Chen Ziqing now had a ferocious expression, knowing his grandfather couldn't help him. He stepped forward.
In that instant, he mobilized all his Dark Energy and punched towards the leader.
Suddenly, the War God Token emitted a dazzling light, knocking Chen Ziqing back a few steps.
Then, a man in white attire wearing a Purple Gold Dragon Mask appeared, his gaze dominating the world with unparalleled arrogance.
He watched as Chen Ziqing struggled to stand up, coldly saying: "Do you concede?"
Chen Ziqing looked at the man like a god demon, filled with terror, but knowing two years of confinement at Soul Breaking Cliff basically meant death, he gritted his teeth and said: "Why should I concede, I'm an Earth Pavilion member, I've not violated the Divine Martial Pavilion's rules. I do not concede."
Actually, the man appearing through the War God Token was infused with a part of Ye Tian's soul and controlled by Ye Tian's true self.
Ye Tian lightly lifted his foot and instantly appeared before Chen Ziqing, kicking out.
Chen Ziqing flew backward, crashing into an artificial mountain, vomiting blood, intending to stand but couldn't.
"Concede through beatings, I'm the Divine Pavilion Master; everything about you is under my command."
Ye Tian then coldly looked at Old Sir Chen and said: "Without my permission, no one is allowed to see him, or the Chen Family will be erased from this world."
Finish speaking, everyone felt the chilling murderous intent.
He then commanded the soldier: "Take him away!"
"Yes, General!" Then, the men carried away the helpless, dog-like Chen Ziqing.
The intruders left the Chen Family hall openly, the leader saying to those inside: "The Pavilion Master says, soldiers cannot be humiliated, if he finds anyone leveraging power to oppress others again, the consequences are on them."
Watching Ye Tian's projected image fade, Old Sir Chen finally collapsed under enormous pressure.
"Mr. Chen, are you alright...."
