"Boss, that's great, you haven't left the outside world yet!"
On the other end of the phone, upon hearing it connect, Gui Wu almost jumped for joy.
She thought that at least a month had passed, and Ye Cangtian should have already gone to the Huaxia ruins. If that were the case, her call wouldn't have gone through.
She had called just on a whim and truly didn't expect the call to connect immediately.
"Speak, what's wrong?" Ye Cangtian's voice came through.
Upon hearing this, Gui Wu quickly said, "Boss, it's bad. The Second Enshrined of the Inner Hall of Light brought people to attack the Outer Hall. Even with the combined efforts of myself, Hassar, and Nancy, we are no match for the Second Enshrined..."
Gui Wu explained that Nancy and Hassar, in order to help her escape and contact reinforcements, had been captured by the Second Enshrined.
Not only Nancy and Hassar, but also some people who supported Nancy, were captured. The Outer Hall of Light had completely fallen into the hands of the Second Enshrined...
"What!"
Ye Cangtian's eyes widened as he heard this.
He had expected the Inner Hall wouldn't let things go, but he hadn't anticipated it would be this severe.
Thinking about it, he quickly asked, "Did Malon and Anqiluo not convey any news to you before?"
"Anqiluo did send news, but Nancy believed she could handle it. She didn't expect the Second Enshrined to be so strong..."
"As for Malon, Anqiluo also sent news. It is said that he was placed under house arrest shortly after returning to the Inner Hall of Light."
"The reason given was that on the night of the conflict with Huaxia in the Outer Hall, someone reported Malon for slacking on the battlefield and not going all out, retreating instead of advancing..."
Gui Wu recounted the events and also revealed Malon's situation.
Alas!
Ye Cangtian sighed heavily. Nancy was still too proud, wanting to achieve something for herself, which was why she fell into others' hands.
As for Malon's situation, it was also within reason. After all, Malon was now his man. During that great battle, the opponent naturally wouldn't dare to make a move against Huaxia's people.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian asked, "Gui Wu, what is Nancy's condition after being captured? Does the Second Enshrined intend to harm her?"
"I inquired through someone, and they dare not touch Nancy for the time being."
"After all, Nancy has already been officially crowned Pope. If Nancy were to be directly killed, it might cause unrest in the Outer Hall!"
Hearing Gui Wu's reply, Ye Cangtian fell silent.
"Since that's the case, don't be anxious. I believe they will contact me soon."
Ye Cangtian comforted her, then quickly asked, "Gui Wu, how are you?"
"Hmph, you only remember old me now!"
"Don't worry, I won't die!"
Gui Wu snorted lightly and continued, "I took a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, and I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Ye Cangtian was slightly stunned, and his expression immediately turned icy. Gui Wu was clearly seriously injured, otherwise, she wouldn't have used a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.
Thinking about it, Ye Cangtian said, "Find a safe place and wait for me. I will avenge you!"
With that, Ye Cangtian hung up the phone.
He murmured softly, "The Inner Hall of Light is indeed restless. If that's the case, then don't blame me!"
Not long after he hung up the phone, Xu Weiwei's call came in.
Xu Weiwei had received a telegram from the Hall of Light, which contained only one sentence: If you want to save Nancy, have Ye Cangtian come alone with the Seal of Light!
Upon hearing this news, a cold smile spread across Ye Cangtian's face.
The people of the Hall of Light were indeed wishful thinkers.
With Guang Yu ascended to the Heavenly Realm and the Pope deceased, the Hall of Light, now without a Heavenly-tier powerhouse to oversee it, still harbored such ambitions.
Not only did they want to reclaim the Outer Hall of Light, but they also had their sights on the Seal of Light. They truly didn't know how they died!
Thinking about it, Ye Cangtian acknowledged and hung up the phone.
Since the Inner Hall had made a suicidal demand, he would naturally fulfill it.
...
The sun rose.
Ye Cangtian's figure had already appeared at the airport in the City of Light.
Upon arriving at the City of Light, Ye Cangtian first went to a hotel according to the address left by Gui Wu.
It was still early.
He was not in a hurry to go to the Hall of Light. Anyway, the Second Enshrined wouldn't dare to harm Nancy easily. His greatest concern now was Gui Wu's injuries.
Soon, he met Gui Wu.
As the entire city was searching for Gui Wu's whereabouts, and with no one to guard her, even though Gui Wu had taken the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, she couldn't fully absorb its effects.
Therefore, she remained conscious at the moment.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian said nothing more and directly channeled a trace of spiritual energy into her body to examine her.
As he examined her, Ye Cangtian's expression grew colder.
Gui Wu's internal organs were severely damaged, almost to the point of collapse.
If she hadn't taken a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir to slowly heal her injuries, the outcome would have been unimaginable.
Thinking about it, Ye Cangtian directly took out a Nine Heavens Life Sustaining Pill from his Qiankun Bag and threw it to Gui Wu.
Looking at the Nine Heavens Life Sustaining Pill in her hand, Gui Wu hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook her head and said, "I'll take the elixir later. I want to go with you to save Nancy and the others..."
"How can you go in this condition?" Ye Cangtian glared at her impatiently. Gui Wu was seriously injured, and in his opinion, she should stay and recover.
"Isn't that what you're here for?"
"With you here, do I still need to make a move?"
Gui Wu smiled as she looked at Ye Cangtian and said.
Hmph!
Hearing Gui Wu's words, Ye Cangtian snorted and said, "Take the elixir, I'll guard you. Once your injuries heal, we'll go to the Hall of Light to seek an explanation!"
Seeing that Gui Wu still wanted to say something, Ye Cangtian directly cut her off and continued, "Don't worry, they are threatening me with Nancy's life to hand over the Seal of Light. Therefore, as long as they haven't obtained the Seal of Light, Nancy is safe."
Only after hearing this did Gui Wu feel relieved, obediently swallowed the elixir, and then returned to her room to absorb its effects.
...
The Hall of Light.
In the side hall, the Second Enshrined sat in the main seat, his gaze somewhat anxious.
Although he had now captured Nancy and Hassar and controlled the entire Outer Hall of Light, he knew this was only temporary.
All the danger had just begun.
After all, was Ye Cangtian that easy to deal with?
Even the Pope and others had fallen into Ye Cangtian's hands, so what was he?
But there was no other way. The Hall of Light could not fall into Nancy's hands, and the Seal of Light had to be reclaimed, so he could only try with all his might.
As for the outcome, it could only be left to fate!
After a long silence, the Second Enshrined's gaze swept over the figure standing before him and asked, "Garland, has there been any reply from the Huaxia forces?"
"Not yet."
Garland shook his head and continued, "I will contact Huaxia now and ask for an explanation."
With that, seeing the Second Enshrined nod, Garland left the side hall without further ado.
Not long after, Garland returned and directly approached the Second Enshrined, relaying the news.
Huaxia claimed that Ye Cangtian had already gone to the City of Light. According to the timeline, he should have arrived five days ago, but...
"What!"
The Second Enshrined's expression changed. The news from Huaxia could not be false.
However, Ye Cangtian's arrival in the City of Light without coming to the Hall of Light was obviously unusual.
He pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something.
When Nancy was captured earlier, Gui Wu had escaped. Now it seemed that Ye Cangtian, upon arriving in the City of Light, should have contacted Gui Wu first.
Besides that, Ye Cangtian would likely not be idle.
After all, he had proposed that Ye Cangtian come alone. Therefore, for safety's sake, Ye Cangtian would have made preparations before coming to the Hall of Light.
With this in mind, the Second Enshrined looked at Garland and said, "Garland, post a message on the battle network. If Ye Cangtian's figure is not seen tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow, we will publicly execute Nancy and Hassar!"
Garland's expression immediately changed, and he said anxiously, "Second Enshrined, killing them will definitely provoke Ye Cangtian. What should we do if Ye Cangtian goes berserk!"
The scene of Ye Cangtian killing Eli Nor in the side hall earlier had left too deep an impression on Garland.
Now that the Hall of Light didn't even have a Heavenly-tier expert, Garland truly didn't want to offend Ye Cangtian.
"What are you afraid of? Do you think I'm stupid? Would I really kill them?"
The Second Enshrined glared at Garland and continued, "Ye Cangtian has deep feelings for Nancy and will definitely not abandon her. I am doing this to force Ye Cangtian out..."
The Second Enshrined could not give Ye Cangtian a chance to prepare any countermeasures, so he could only use Nancy to force Ye Cangtian to show himself.
Upon hearing this, Garland instantly understood, immediately agreed, and hurried off to make arrangements.
