Entering Starbucks, Yang Yan ordered a cappuccino and then sat in a secluded corner, slowly sipping it.

"As expected, Lord Moonlight is formidable. We just arrived and you already noticed us."

At this moment, two men and a woman walked over and sat directly across from Yang Yan.

Despite their ordinary attire, the men were handsome and the woman beautiful.

Along with Yang Yan, their table drew everyone's gaze.

"Who exactly are you people? What do you want from me?"

Yang Yan looked at them and spoke coldly.

To these Hidden World people who knew his identity, Yang Yan never gave a pleasant face.

Especially those who came looking for trouble.

"I wonder if the Moonlight Emperor has ever heard of Baiyu City?"

One of the men asked with a smile.

"In the sky is Baiyu City, five towers and twelve citadels, the immortals pat my head, binding hair to receive longevity. Are you from Baiyu City?"

Yang Yan looked at them with some surprise.

If there were a ranking of Hidden World forces in Huaxia, Baiyu City would definitely be in the top five.

This is a force passed down by a group of ancient Qi Cultivators.

As for its origin, it should trace back to the Tang Dynasty.

The most famous among them is the Wine Sword Immortal, Li Bai.

"The Moonlight Emperor is truly knowledgeable! Our Baiyu City has been secluded for almost three hundred years, yet someone still remembers us."

The man chuckled softly.

"Enough with the nonsense! Hmph! Even if you are from Baiyu City, so what? Get to the point. You used Divine Thought to lock onto me; do you think just because you're from Baiyu City, I don't dare to kill you?"

Yang Yan said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the woman's face changed drastically, her aura surged, and she was on the verge of exploding.

However, she had just stood up and uttered a single word before the man who spoke first stopped her.

"Yu Bai, calm down."

Not just him, the other man also said sternly.

Then he looked seriously at Yang Yan and said in a deep voice:

"Today, we came to find the Moonlight Emperor because we want to know if the Heaven-Filling Stone was indeed inside that door back then."

"Just for this?"

Yang Yan looked at the man with some surprise, then let out a cold laugh:

"For such trivial nonsense, you bother me? Are you out of your mind!"

Being scolded by Yang Yan, the man didn't react much but remained calm and said:

"Of course, it's not just that. We came today mainly to deliver a message to the Moonlight Emperor."

"Speak!"

Yang Yan replied impatiently.

Seeing Yang Yan's attitude of completely disregarding them, the woman couldn't hold back any longer.

She raised her eyebrows and said coldly:

"What do you mean by this? Don't think that having the title of Moonlight is something special. In front of our Baiyu City, a mere Moonlight is nothing."

Yang Yan squinted at the indignant woman, let out a cold laugh, then turned to the man who had been relatively quiet and said:

"What's wrong with this crazy woman?"

He had already noticed that among the three, this man was the strongest and seemed to be the key figure.

"Apologies, Yu Bai has always been practicing in Baiyu City, rarely meeting people, and is not good with words. If she has offended you, Moonlight Emperor, please forgive her."

The man's attitude was consistently proper, neither overly humble nor arrogant.

"Tch! What's the message? Who sent it? Speak directly. I don't have too much time to waste on you."

Yang Yan downed his coffee in one gulp and urged.

No wonder he was annoyed.

He had planned to enjoy a day, but these people interrupted him.

"We don't know who the messenger is; we were following the City Lord's orders. The City Lord didn't tell us who the other party is, only that we must convey this message to you: On the second day of the second lunar month, the Yin Sect will open wide in the Imperial Capital. They plan to use your blood as a tribute to the spirits of those who died by your hand."

After speaking, the man raised his coffee and took a gentle sip.

"Heh! So it's about this. Kindly inform your City Lord that I will be waiting. Anything else? If not, I'll be leaving."

Despite asking if there was anything more, Yang Yan was already heading for the door as he spoke.

As for the bill, it was, of course, left to the three of them.

After all, each of them ordered a premium Blue Mountain coffee, and he wasn't about to be a fool.

Once Yang Yan left, the woman known as Yu Bai looked at the leading man among them and said:

"Zhongdian, why didn't you let me speak? That guy didn't seem to take Baiyu City seriously at all."

Zhongdian chuckled wryly:

"Yu Bai, I'll tell you once and only once not to provoke that man. You've already crossed the line by locking onto him with Divine Thought. Moonlight isn't a title given for charity; it was built from a pile of corpses in the Blood Sea."

"So today, you should consider yourself lucky he didn't lose his temper. This guy is far scarier than you think, and many who underestimated him ended up dead at his hands."

Yu Bai pouted, defiantly saying:

"Tch! I just can't stand his self-important demeanor, as if he's invincible. No matter how strong he is, how many can he fight?"

"Our Baiyu City has accumulated strength over a thousand years, hiding many powerful individuals. If it comes to a showdown, I don't believe we couldn't take him down."

Hearing Yu Bai's words, not only Zhongdian but also the other man beside him couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

Zhongdian looked at Yu Bai, speaking earnestly:

"The disturbances this guy has caused in the Hidden World are far scarier than you imagine. What you've heard is barely the tip of the iceberg, and many have intentionally or unintentionally concealed things, trying to downplay his influence."

"Moreover, even if he's not invincible, he's close. At the very least, he's among the world's top elite."

"Besides, it's not just that he is strong; the ten swords under him are also first-rate powerhouses. Although we've accumulated a thousand years in Baiyu City, if it comes to a real fight, it's hard to say who will lose."

"Hmph!"

After listening to Zhongdian, Yu Bai snorted in discontent but said no more.

Clearly, despite her unwillingness to admit it, deep down, she was startled by Yang Yan's background.

Yu Bai knew Zhongdian's character well; he always spoke the truth without exaggeration.

If he's saying this, then Yang Yan and his followers truly possess the strength to challenge Baiyu City.

Challenge Baiyu City...

The thought alone is unbelievable.
