"Some things I don't want to say repeatedly."
Ye Cangtian's gaze was sinister as he looked at Hua Guang, walking towards him step by step.
Feeling Ye Cangtian's gaze and oppressive aura, Hua Guang inexplicably felt a panic, even a sense of fear.
What's going on?
Hua Guang was incredulous. He was naturally ruthless and bloodthirsty, having killed many people, and should have long since cast aside life and death.
But why was he afraid before the other party had even made a move?
This was too embarrassing!
Thinking this, Hua Guang straightened his back with a stiff upper lip and said fiercely, "Death God, isn't he just a guard? At worst, I'll apologize to his family and support them!"
Hmph!
With a single sentence, Ye Cangtian let out a sudden cold snort and said, "You still haven't realized your mistake! It seems you are beyond redemption!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian's figure flashed, appearing directly in front of Hua Guang. He then raised his arm and unleashed a punch.
Hiss!
Seeing Ye Cangtian make his move, Hua Guang gasped, but his reaction was not slow. He quickly crossed his hands in front of his chest, attempting to block.
Boom!
The next moment, Hua Guang's body shot back like a cannonball, blasting him back into the great hall.
Although his reaction speed was not slow, Ye Cangtian's fist was even faster, piercing through his arms and landing heavily on his chest.
Pfft!
Hua Guang spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked desperately at his caved-in chest, his face filled with despair.
This punch from the opponent had not only shattered all his meridians, rendering him crippled, but most severely, it had also crushed his heart.
It could be said that even if he had a Nine Heaven Revival Pill in his hand at this moment, he might not be able to save his life.
"Death God, you are so cruel!"
"We are fellow disciples, yet you have treated me so harshly!"
"And you made me accompany a mere ant of a guard to my death. You have insulted me so greatly that I will not rest even as a ghost!"
Knowing that this was a certain death, Hua Guang turned his gaze to Ye Cangtian and, using all his remaining strength, roared.
"Are these words you speak still meaningful?"
"Let me ask you, if I were the one defeated today, would you have let me live?"
Ye Cangtian glanced down and questioned indifferently.
From the opponent's actions, he had already understood everything. The other party had come to kill today, otherwise, they wouldn't have treated a guard so brutally.
Now, for the opponent to talk about brotherhood seemed utterly ridiculous to him.
His words instantly stunned Hua Guang, his face gradually turning red.
He had no words to refute, because Ye Cangtian was right. If he had won, he would not only have killed Ye Cangtian but also made him die a death of agony.
After a moment, feeling his life force draining away, he gritted his teeth and said, "Death God, don't think you've won. If you kill me, the Manor Lord will not let you off!"
Ye Cangtian snorted lightly and said, "You're overthinking it. I'm here to clean up the house for the old man!"
"What?"
The old Manor Lord was still alive, and he sent Death God to clean house?
Did the old Manor Lord already know about everything happening at the Dragon Soaring Manor?
Most importantly, if he sent Death God to clean house, he must have granted him a certain status. Was it possible that the old Manor Lord intended to pass the position of Manor Lord to Death God?
It seemed Lei Ming's worries were justified. This person had come for the position of Manor Lord!
He thought this, but unfortunately, he could no longer relay this information back.
At the last moment of his life, Hua Guang revealed a sinister smile and said, "The Manor Lord I mentioned is the new Manor Lord, our third brother Lei Ming! He will not let you go and will surely avenge me..."
"I'm sorry, I don't acknowledge him as the Manor Lord!"
Ye Cangtian interrupted him directly and continued, "Nor do I agree to him coming to avenge you. I will personally go to the Dragon Soaring Manor to settle accounts with him!"
"Just you? Hahaha..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Hua Guang's face showed extreme disdain.
He had intended to mock the other party properly, but in his laughter, his life force was extinguished, and he finally collapsed to the ground.
Ye Cangtian's gaze swept across the hall. The two people Hua Guang had brought were also personally dealt with by Lan Yue.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian said lightly, "Bao'er, tend to Hu Qing's injuries first. Hai Quan, handle the aftermath."
With that, Ye Cangtian returned to his room.
Lan Yue, seeing Ye Cangtian's somewhat somber expression, quickly followed.
Back in the room, Lan Yue poured Ye Cangtian a glass of water and then sat down, saying, "Junior Brother, what's wrong?"
Sigh!
Ye Cangtian sighed and said slowly, "I didn't expect Lei Ming to actually dare to become the Manor Lord of the Dragon Soaring Manor."
Over the past few days, Ye Cangtian had also gained some understanding of the Dragon Soaring Manor.
He had initially heard that Lei Ming was acting as Manor Lord, which indicated a hint of ambition. Ye Cangtian could somewhat understand this.
After all, Elder Zhou had been traveling for so many years, and the Dragon Soaring Manor could not be without a leader. Since Lei Ming had the ability and ambition, he would naturally display it.
However, he hadn't expected that without Elder Zhou's consent, Lei Ming would unilaterally assume the position of Manor Lord. What did this make Elder Zhou?
And now that Lei Ming's position as Manor Lord was recognized, it meant that Lei Ming had certain capabilities and a powerful influence, which allowed him to suppress everyone.
In this light, resolving the troubles of the Dragon Soaring Manor would be more difficult than imagined.
Listening to Ye Cangtian's words, Lan Yue remained silent for a moment and said, "Junior Brother, don't overthink it. When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road!
Besides, Lei Ming's ascension is neither legitimate nor proper. Perhaps when you return and rally support, he will be attacked by everyone..."
Creak!
Just then, the door was pushed open, and Yao Bao'er returned.
She walked to Ye Cangtian and said, "Hu Qing's meridians were all shattered, but there's nothing else. He'll be fine after taking a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill."
Hearing Yao Bao'er's words, Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "Rest for a while. We'll postpone our journey to the Dragon Soaring Manor for two days."
"Why not tomorrow?"
Yao Bao'er glanced at Ye Cangtian, somewhat confused.
The original plan was to set off tomorrow, and Ye Cangtian rarely changed his decisions, so she was curious.
In response, Ye Cangtian glanced at Yao Bao'er and said playfully, "We have to let someone deliver the news back, don't we?"
His idea was simple. Since blood had been shed today, he wanted the other party to understand his methods and be mentally prepared.
Moreover, with Hu Qing injured, Ye Cangtian also wanted to see if Hai Quan could handle things independently.
This would also prevent any further problems from arising in the recently reclaimed Frost City.
Yao Bao'er didn't mind this. For matters like this, Ye Cangtian's decision was fine.
...
Dragon Soaring Manor.
Two days passed, and Lei Ming, seeing that Hua Guang had still not returned, couldn't help but feel worried.
Hua Guang's methods were ruthless, but his style of doing things was decisive. If he had indeed eliminated that Death God, he would have returned to report immediately.
He was completely confident in this.
But until now, he had not received any news from Hua Guang. Could it be that something had happened to Hua Guang?
Thinking this, Lei Ming gathered everyone.
"Does anyone know the situation on Frost City's side?"
In response to Lei Ming's questioning, everyone lowered their heads.
In their eyes, Hua Guang was a formidable figure, and the missions he undertook had not yet failed.
Therefore, when Hua Guang went to Frost City, they didn't worry about him and naturally hadn't sent anyone to scout the situation there.
"Useless."
Seeing everyone lower their heads, Lei Ming spat out two harsh words and continued, "Who will go to Frost City to scout? My request is simple: find out everything!"
"Report!"
As soon as Lei Ming's voice fell, a report came.
It was a guard who directly came to the great hall and knelt on one knee, saying, "Manor Lord, there is a person from Frost City outside the hall. He claims to be a guard from the Dragon Soaring Manor and knows the news from Frost City..."
Hearing this, Lei Ming's heart sank. Could it be that Hua Guang had indeed met with misfortune?
It was clear that if everything had gone smoothly for Hua Guang, he would have returned by now, and there would be no need for this guard.
Thinking this, his face immediately turned grim, and he said, "Bring him in!"
