Seeing this person, Ye Tian stepped forward. After reaching the Spirit Condensation realm, his aura was contained, so this person couldn't sense his power.
The man had triangular eyes, a pointed nose, a small mustache, and wore a blue silk short shirt, loose light blue trousers, and black cloth shoes with a thousand layers.
This person had slender fingers, a slightly dark complexion, but his hands were relatively fair. His fingernails were neat, and the five fingers of both hands were slightly curled inward, as if holding something invisible.
The man sized Ye Tian up and said, "Young brother, my brother-in-law offended you quite a bit before. I've come to apologize on his behalf."
Ye Tian said indifferently, "We are all martial artists, no need to beat around the bush. Aren't you here for revenge? I'll give you a chance."
The man was not angered at all and smiled, "Young brother, when you're out and about, it's best to be low-key. I'm saying this for your own good. Being kind to others leads to success in all endeavors."
Ye Tian: "The group of people before were extremely arrogant. They provoked me first, and I didn't use any underhanded tactics, which was already merciful. Let me ask you, these people are so arrogant and act without considering the consequences; you must be supporting them, right?"
The man frowned slightly and said, "No matter what, you injured people. Even if they were wrong, you shouldn't have injured them. Injuring someone is against the law, and if you break the law, I have to arrest you and make you accept punishment."
Ye Tian sneered, "You are truly shameless. If I didn't have martial arts skills, I might have been severely injured by your brother-in-law back then. If I were severely injured, would he face legal repercussions? You are a Qi Cultivation Grandmaster, with this kind of cultivation, I imagine very few people in Wolf City would dare to offend you, right?"
The man was not surprised that Ye Tian mentioned his Qi Cultivation realm. After all, he was a well-known figure in Wolf City, so it wasn't strange for Ye Tian to know.
The man said, "Since you know me, I won't waste any more words with you. Either I send you to jail, or you compensate my brother-in-law double."
Double meant that if the other party lost an arm, Ye Tian would have to lose two.
Ye Tian sneered, "I'm too lazy to waste words with you. State your name."
The man said indifferently, "Wolf City, Huang Sandong."
Ye Tian: "Huang Sandong, if you hadn't come today, that matter would have been over. Since you've come, it's a different story."
As he spoke, he released his divine sense. The念头 (niàn tou - thought/idea, here referring to a mental probe) pierced into Huang Sandong's spiritual consciousness like needles. His face turned ashen, and he quickly retreated more than ten meters, then looked at Ye Tian in horror.
"You're actually a Martial King!"
Ye Tian's expression was blank, "Don't say I'm bullying you. For the first three moves, I won't kill you."
Huang Sandong was sweating profusely. Forget three moves; even if he was given ten moves, he wouldn't dare to attack.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward three paces and bowed deeply, "I didn't know a Martial King was present. I have offended you just now; please forgive me, Martial King!"
Ye Tian said indifferently, "What, you don't dare to fight?"
Huang Sandong's face was grim. A Grandmaster against a Martial King was no contest! He sighed deeply, "Martial King, I, Huang Sandong, admit defeat! Whatever you want, I will accept!"
Seeing his submission, Ye Tian said indifferently, "I am not an unreasonable person. Your brother-in-law has likely done many bad deeds. Have him turn himself in and confess everything."
Huang Sandong looked troubled. Although his cultivation was high, he was somewhat afraid of his wife. If he really sent his brother-in-law to prison, his wife would surely cause a huge scene.
He remained silent for a few seconds and said, "Martial King, can you let him off the hook?"
Ye Tian: "If I let him go, I can't let you go."
Huang Sandong gritted his teeth, "Alright, I will definitely follow the Martial King's orders!"
Ye Tian: "You'd better do as I say. Now, I need to ask you about someone."
Huang Sandong quickly said, "Please speak, Martial King."
Ye Tian: "Have you heard of the shaman doctor from Seven Star Village?"
Huang Sandong: "We've met a few times. This shaman doctor's name is Liu Hengyi, and he does have some skills. However, his healing methods are sometimes effective and sometimes not. When they work, it's like an immortal descending; when they don't, he can kill a living person."
Ye Tian: "Oh, sometimes effective and sometimes not? Does this person cultivate?"
Huang Sandong: "He also cultivates Qi, but it's quite basic. However, he knows many very strange and peculiar methods. For example, one time, he suddenly uttered a string of syllables, and I suddenly couldn't move."
Ye Tian's eyes lit up, "Soul-capturing technique? Interesting!"
