Ming Zhi Tian chuckled, "What?"
Cai Bie Yin repeated, "Will you commit suicide, or return with me to the family to accept punishment?"
Ming Zhi Tian said again, "Wh-what?"
Cai Bie Yin said, "I said...! You brat, are you playing me?!"
Riding the Golden Armored Bear Beast, Ming Zhi Tian showed no fear. "So what if I am!"
Cai Bie Yin was utterly enraged. "It seems! You intend for me to take forceful measures against you?"
Seeing Cai Bie Yin's nearly one hundred family disciples step forward, Ming Zhi Tian sneered, "I say... Old Man Yi Shan, no, Elder Yi Shan! How long do you plan to watch the show? Tell him about the martial arena rules."
Elder Yi Shan was taken aback. "Martial arena?"
Ming Zhi Tian had participated in countless martial arena events, big and small. This ancient ruins of Yi Shan, not even a small martial arena, but its unified rule was always just one...
Cai Bie Yin roared! "Even the Heavenly King himself can't save you! All of you, attack! Capture him!"
Just as Cai Bie Yin charged forward, "Stop!" Elder Yi Shan spoke.
"Why?!" Cai Bie Yin was forced to halt.
But his family disciples did not stop, as Cai Bie Yin intentionally didn't restrain them.
"Whoosh whoosh!" The two guards beside Elder Yi Shan made their move.
"Aiya, ugh!..." Several Cai family disciples who had rushed to the front were directly sent flying and fell to the ground.
Cai Bie Yin gritted his teeth. "Alright! Come back!"
The Cai disciples then reluctantly jumped back behind Cai Bie Yin.
Ming Zhi Tian hadn't expected the two guards beside Elder Yi Shan to be God-tier experts. How strong must Elder Yi Shan be?
Cai Bie Yin looked at Elder Yi Shan, "Are you going to obstruct my Cai family's domestic affairs?!"
Elder Yi Shan released his unique martial artist aura, pressing down on Cai Bie Yin. "Do you not intend to show me, Elder Yi Shan, any respect?!"
Cai Bie Yin quickly lowered his head. "I dare not!"
"Hmph!" Elder Yi Shan retracted his oppressive presence. "I don't want to, nor do I care to, manage your Cai family's affairs. But here, I have the final say! This young man is not wrong; he is right. It's time to re-educate you all about the rules of the ancient ruins of Yi Shan!"
"The rules have never changed. Everyone who enters the ancient ruins of Yi Shan, regardless of seniority, knows clearly that the resources within are shared, can be contested, and even fought for. Inside, there are no distinctions of life or death, only strength. This is a world of the survival of the fittest, do you understand?"
"We understand, ...understand... ...understand..."
The crowd chimed in with their affirmations, instantly deflating Cai Bie Yin's temper. It seemed Elder Yi Shan's prestige was very high, commanding genuine respect.
Elder Yi Shan stood with his hands behind his back, slowly looking at Cai Bie Yin. "You must apologize to him."
Cai Bie Yin was stunned. "What? Me? Apologize to him? In front of so many people?!"
Elder Yi Shan cast a searing gaze at him, as if threatening him if he didn't comply. "Hm?"
Cai Bie Yin quickly bowed his head to Ming Zhi Tian. "Yes, I'm sorry!"
Ming Zhi Tian did not gloat. "Mm, I forgive you. Just don't let there be a next time."
What, does this mean he wants to kill him again next time? Cai Bie Yin, with a crestfallen face, led the Cai disciples away resentfully. "Let's go!"
Guo Pingyang looked disappointedly at Guo Shi and Guo Yuanwen. "Why are your harvests so meager? Haven't you broken through yet?"
The two blamed Ming Zhi Tian. "Reporting to the Family Head, it's this fellow Bai Tian Ming who has been snatching territories everywhere, even taking ours. He almost killed Yuanwen and me, and it was only by exchanging the High Orchid Jade Flute with that scoundrel that I managed to preserve our lives!"
Guo Shi subtly signaled Guo Yuanwen, who quickly said, "Yes."
Guo Pingyang noted Ming Zhi Tian. "Bai Tian Ming? The Bai family? How have I never heard of such a person? Not one of the Five Families of Nanling, nor one of the Twelve Families of Beiling. An outsider?"
