The number one bun shop in the world, Tianxia Diyi Baozi Lou, was indeed initially opened by Ao Wushuang’s granddaughter, Ao Yanran. As for why she wanted to establish this restaurant, that remains unknown. However, the restaurant has now become a place for the Songshan Sect to bully others and extort money. When Ye Tianchen walked in, he sensed something off. To reach the third floor and gather information, he decided to make a move decisively. Against these petty people who bully others under false pretenses, he was absolutely unyielding.

What surprised Ye Tianchen was that his affairs had already spread throughout the Ancient Martial World. Everyone knew he had offended the Sword Control Sect and was hunted by the disciples of the Five Poison Sect. They also knew about his sworn brotherhood with Tian Boguang. Now that Tian Boguang was captured by the leader of the Songshan Sect, Bei Lengshi, and was to be executed, everyone guessed that Ye Tianchen would go to Song Mountain to save Tian Boguang. Bei Lengshi probably guessed as well, making things much more troublesome and the rescue even more difficult.

On the third floor of Tianxia Diyi Baozi Lou, Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng hadn’t discovered any useful information yet when they encountered Du Wanli’s younger brother, Du Wan, who was the young master of the Five Poison Sect and the second son of the sect leader Du Tianqi. The young master was only fifteen years old, short in stature, with a youthful face, but he exhibited arrogance and willfulness far beyond his years, making him seem insufferably arrogant as he disregarded everyone around him.

Unfortunately for Du Wan, he encountered Ye Tianchen just when he was acting most conceited. Ye Tianchen was someone who didn’t care how arrogant you were or whose son you were—if you were unreasonable and cruel, you’d be met with a slap across the face.

Many people present found Du Wan’s arrogant shouting distasteful, but none dared to voice their anger. The Five Poison Sect had a long heritage, dating back to the times of ancient cultivation on Earth. It could be said to be one of the few remaining sects with such an ancient legacy in the Earth Ancient Martial World. The longer the history of a sect, the deeper its foundation, and the more powerful the absolute skills and divine arts it retained. Everyone knew of the Five Poison Sect’s long heritage and its focus on using poison—a thing notoriously difficult to guard against, lending a sense of deterrence. With the Great Elder, Du Jue, still alive and the legacy of the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner being passed down, there were few sects in the Ancient Martial World brave enough to cross the Five Poison Sect. No wonder the disciples of the Five Poison Sect were so arrogant, and Du Wan, being the young master and the brother of the sect’s Saint Heir, naturally acted as if he was above all others.

No one expected that right after Du Wan’s words fell, he received a resounding slap and was sent flying into a nearby wall, almost breaking through it. He screamed in pain as though haunted by ghosts or howled by wolves. His cultivation was not profound. The reason he could defeat an early-stage Martial Venerate expert in one move was through a surprise attack, plus the fact that the expert feared Du Wan’s status and dared not fight back. Otherwise, Du Wan would have lost his life long ago. This is what it meant to bully others by leveraging one’s position and background without any real personal strength.

”Who? Who dares to hit me...” Du Wan climbed up, his mouth bleeding, and scanned the room with a fierce look in his eyes.

The two disciples of the Five Poison Sect who were standing behind Du Wan were also shocked, drawing their swords, ready to kill whoever had dared to strike Du Wan. Everyone present was surprised as well, looking around, wondering who was so bold as to send Du Wan flying with a slap.

”Who the hell, who ambushed me? Have the guts to stand in front of me!” Du Wan shouted and roared.

At that moment, the two disciples protecting Du Wan also looked around fiercely, and when they saw Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng sitting not far away, they frowned. They noticed Ye Tianchen smiling at Du Wan, with a very amiable look on his face.

One of the disciples of the Five Poison Sect approached Ye Tianchen, pointed his sword at Ye Tianchen’s head, and said, ”Our young master Du Wan has been ambushed, and you dare to laugh. Do you believe I can kill you with one sword?”

”Heh, what a huge joke. Your young master got hit because of his nasty mouth, what does that have to do with me? Whether I laugh is my own business, isn’t it?” Ye Tianchen replied with a cold laugh.

”You... If I say you can’t laugh, you can’t laugh. Do you dare to go against our Five Poison Sect?” the disciple of the Five Poison Sect roared aggressively.

Slap!

Another slap landed on the face of the Five Poison Sect disciple, who had not yet reacted, and he too was sent flying, hitting a table that shattered under the impact. He gawked at Ye Tianchen in astonishment, taking a moment before he finally managed to say, ”It was you, you were the one who ambushed our young master...”

Hearing the words of the Five Poison Sect disciple, everyone turned their attention to Ye Tianchen, while Du Wan himself did not realize the danger Ye Tianchen posed. Or perhaps Du Wan never imagined someone would dare to attack him, daring to strike him down. From his pampered upbringing and his habit of getting his way, and the fact that no one had dared to provoke him ever since he was young, Du Wan had developed a tendency to be tyrannical. At such a young age, he had a pair of venomous eyes and an aura of murder about him, which was somewhat unbelievable to many.

By now, Du Wan was shivering with anger as he approached Ye Tianchen, looking down at him with disdain and asked with a sneer, ”Was it you who struck me just now?”

”That’s right,” Ye Tianchen smiled and answered.

”Do you know who I am?” Du Wan clenched his teeth tightly and asked.

”I don’t know!” Ye Tianchen said still with a calm expression.

”Hmph, I knew you didn’t know. If you did, how could you possibly dare to lay a hand on me, Du Wan? Now roll aside and kneel, waiting for your death—it’s not too late!” Du Wan sneered disdainfully.

”So, I am unaware of this young master’s identity, which is...” Ye Tianchen purposely asked.

”If I told you, I’m afraid you’d be so scared you’d wet your pants. Since you seem to have a death wish, I’ll scare you to death. We are from the Five Poison Sect, and this young master is the second son of the Five Poison Sect Leader...” The remaining disciple from the Five Poison Sect said with an air of arrogance while looking at Ye Tianchen.

All those present gasped in shock, having not expected this young man to stay after slapping Du Wan, and even directly asking about Du Wan’s identity. Now wasn’t he just waiting for death? Many thought Ye Tianchen had just entered the Ancient Martial World and hence wasn’t aware of the power of the Five Poison Sect. But not they suppose once he knew, he’d be kneeling and begging for mercy in no time.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the Five Poison Sect disciple’s words, Ye Tianchen neither knelt nor begged for mercy, and his face didn’t change in the slightest. Instead, he stood up, smiled at Du Wan and said, ”Then do you know who I am?”

”I don’t care who you are, if you kneel now and kowtow to me, begging for mercy, it’s still not too late. Otherwise, you’ll be too late!” Du Wan still spoke with a domineering tone.

Slap!

This time, Du Wan was slapped again by Ye Tianchen, and this slap was far heavier than the last one, so much so that it stunned the onlookers. None had expected Ye Tianchen to dare to slap Du Wan again after finding out his identity, to dare to send him flying. Just who was this person? Who was he?

Whoosh!

The Five Poison Sect disciple standing beside Du Wan, though trembling with shock, still swung his sword in an attempt to kill Ye Tianchen. Unfortunately, his cultivation was too inferior compared to Ye Tianchen. Right after he swung his sword, he too received a slap and was sent flying, his face so twisted by the blow that it was unrecognizable, and he collapsed at the side with a face full of blood, too fearful to make another move.

”You... just who are you? Do you realize what it means to offend the Five Poison Sect?” Du Wan looked at Ye Tianchen with a frightened expression and shouted.

”Young brother, you should run. The Five Poison Sect isn’t to be trifled with.”

”Yes, young man, the Five Poison Sect has a long heritage. Du Wan’s elder brother, Du Wanli, is the Saint Heir of the Five Poison Sect. With the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner in hand, there are few in the entire Ancient Martial World who can contend with him. Please, run away!”

Some kind-hearted people advised Ye Tianchen. He thanked them with a smile but didn’t leave. Instead, he looked at Du Wan and said, ”Your brother Du Wanli, if he did not have the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, he would have been killed by me long ago. Despite his high cultivation, he is someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong. His Taoist heart has long been unstable!”

”You...”

”My name is Ye Tianchen. I’ve already crossed hands with your brother Du Wanli,” Ye Tianchen said coldly, staring at Du Wan.

”This... you... impossible! My brother has profound cultivation, rarely matched in the Ancient Martial World, and he wields the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner. You couldn’t possibly have fought with my brother and still be alive,” Du Wan shouted in panic.

”Nothing is impossible. Didn’t you think that no one would dare to kill you? I’ll kill you now!” As Ye Tianchen spoke, he walked toward Du Wan. He was truly harboring intent to kill. A fifteen-year-old kid could be so ruthless; who knew how many innocent lives he would take when he grew up. Killing him now was to save more lives in the future.

Seeing Ye Tianchen approaching, Du Wan was trembling all over with fear. Those two slaps had been enough for him to realize he was no match for Ye Tianchen, and he regretted deeply. Never had he expected that the man in front of him would be Ye Tianchen himself. Just moments ago, he had claimed that Ye Tianchen couldn’t take a single hit from him and that Ye Tianchen would surely die if he made a move. Now, facing such a wretched predicament, he hadn’t just lost the face of the Five Poison Sect, he was also facing the possibility of being killed. His previous arrogance was nowhere to be seen...
