In another corner of Bright City, Ye Cangtian sat cross-legged in the living room, cultivating.
Although his current strength could rank among the best even in the outside world, he did not slacken his efforts in the slightest.
Because he knew that what he was about to face might not be any easier than facing the Bright Hall, and could even be more dangerous.
Especially when facing Guangyu, without the assistance of the Three Great Seals, he would be completely unable to contend with Guangyu relying solely on his own strength.
Therefore, he had to seize every moment to cultivate, while also trying to comprehend the subsequent moves of the Thirteen Styles of the Death Scythe.
"Hmm?"
At some unknown time, Ye Cangtian suddenly opened his eyes.
Even though he was cultivating, he was still aware of his surroundings, constantly monitoring Guiwu's state in the room.
And just now, the spiritual energy around Guiwu had a subtle fluctuation, seeming to be a bit stronger than before.
It seemed that after that battle, Guiwu had indeed stimulated some potential, and his cultivation had advanced.
At the same time, this also indicated that Guiwu had woken up.
As expected, the next moment, the room door opened, and Guiwu slowly walked out.
"Boss, how many days have passed?"
"Is Nancy okay? We can act now."
Guiwu looked at Ye Cangtian's gaze and quickly said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said slowly, "Not many, it's only been six days. There's no news from Nancy yet, but no news is the best news."
Hearing this, Guiwu nodded in understanding and continued, "Then there's nothing more to say, let's act now. I guess Nancy has been waiting impatiently."
"Alright..."
Just as Ye Cangtian responded, the phone rang.
He picked up his mobile phone, saw that it displayed Xu Weiwei's number, and pressed the answer key.
"What happened?"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Weiwei's voice came from the phone, "Check the Battle Net. People from the Bright Hall claim that if they don't see you today, they will execute Nancy and Hasar tomorrow!"
Oh? Interesting!
A playful smile appeared on Ye Cangtian's face. It seemed the Bright Hall was getting impatient!
Thinking this, he said, "Alright, I know. Leave the matters here to me."
After speaking, Ye Cangtian hung up the phone.
The next moment, he looked at Guiwu and said, "The plan has changed. The Bright Hall said they will execute Nancy tomorrow. We'll go join the fun tomorrow. I want to see how they plan to execute Nancy!"
"Boss, this is not a joking matter. If we are late, Nancy's life will be gone!"
"Besides, is the execution ground that easy to raid?"
Guiwu was immediately anxious upon hearing this.
One must know that it was an execution ground. To prevent any accidents, the Bright Hall would definitely have heavy troops guarding it. At that time, it might not be easy for her and Ye Cangtian to handle it.
In her opinion, it would be better to sneak into the Bright Hall and rescue Nancy and the other person, which would also disrupt the opponent's plan and be more secure.
"Humph, do you have so little faith in me?"
"When have you ever seen me do something I wasn't sure of?"
Hearing Guiwu's words, Ye Cangtian glared at her and said irritably.
Uh...
With one sentence, Guiwu was immediately speechless. Indeed, Ye Cangtian was meticulous in his planning and was very confident in everything he did.
Thinking of this, Guiwu said no more, returned to her room, and quietly waited for the arrival of tomorrow.
...
Early morning, a ray of sunlight fell.
In a side hall of the Bright Hall, the Second Emissary's expression was extremely grim. He had barely slept all night, waiting for Ye Cangtian's arrival.
However, Ye Cangtian did not come. Now that it was dawn, his mood had become extremely bad.
Ye Cangtian's failure to appear was beyond his imagination. He had to give an explanation to the forces watching this matter on the Battle Net, otherwise, the credibility of the Bright Hall would be ruined.
But the problem was, if they really executed Nancy, it would certainly anger Ye Cangtian, and they would also lose their bargaining chip for the Bright Seal.
Thinking of this, the Second Emissary looked at Galand and slowly asked, "Galand, do you have any ideas?"
Uh?
Galand was stunned for a moment, but after a short while, he understood the Second Emissary's words.
Then, after a moment of thought, he stepped forward and whispered into the Second Emissary's ear.
Hmm?
Listening to Galand's words, the Second Emissary's eyes immediately began to dart around.
After a while, he said, "Good, let's do as you say!"
Upon hearing this, Galand immediately responded and then quickly withdrew from the side hall.
...
In a blink of an eye, it was nearly three quarters past noon.
In the courtyard of the Bright Hall, two execution platforms had already been erected, with some members of the Bright Hall holding cameras around, recording videos.
Opposite the execution platforms was the supervision platform, with the Second Emissary personally serving as the supervising official.
The next moment, the Second Emissary stood up, looked at Nancy and Hasar who were already secured on the supervision platform, and slowly said.
"Nancy, a traitor of the Bright Hall, fled to the enemy camp after escaping for many years, and was later pardoned by the Bright Hall and conferred the title of Saintess. However, she was ungrateful and continued to stir up trouble."
"Under the support of Ye Cangtian of the enemy camp, she willingly became a puppet and usurped the position of Pope. She deserves to be executed!"
"Hasar, a criminal of the Bright Hall, after Nancy usurped the position of Pope, he did not think of resisting. Instead, for high positions and generous rewards, he obeyed Nancy's every word, which is truly detestable. By law, he should be executed..."
"It is now three quarters past noon. I order that both be executed without mercy. Commence the execution!"
As the Second Emissary's voice fell, two steel sabers hanging in the air suddenly descended, about to fall onto Nancy and Hasar's necks.
However, at this moment, the two steel sabers suddenly shattered, turning into countless fragments.
Even more bizarrely, not a single fragment flying in all directions injured Nancy and Hasar.
Seeing this, everyone present was stunned.
Just now, they had only heard the sound of breaking wind, and then they saw two air blades flash past.
The speed was so fast that their eyes could not keep up.
However, they all knew in their hearts that the one who made the move must be a Heavenly-level expert, otherwise, spiritual energy could not penetrate the body and erupt outwards.
Because of this, everyone's heart was pounding, and they became extremely nervous.
Ye Cangtian?
The Second Emissary scanned towards the direction where the air blades appeared. He saw two figures slowly approaching, and who else could it be but Ye Cangtian and Guiwu?
The next moment, the Second Emissary sneered, "Heh heh, Ye Cangtian, you finally showed up!"
"Second Emissary, to want to execute my friend Ye Cangtian, may I ask how many guts you have!"
Ye Cangtian's face carried a smile, but his voice was filled with killing intent.
"..."
Looking at the killing intent in the other's eyes, the Second Emissary was slightly stunned, and the smile on his face instantly turned to stone.
After a while, he calmed down and said coldly, "Ye Cangtian, these are internal matters of the Bright Hall. Why are you interfering?"
"I don't care about the messy affairs of the Bright Hall! Unless it involves the interests of the Huaxia forces!"
"But I cannot ignore the matter of Nancy and Hasar. I just said, they are my friends now!"
"Those who move my friends are my enemies!"
Ye Cangtian's gaze was fixed on the Second Emissary, his killing intent increasing rather than decreasing.
Feeling Ye Cangtian's killing intent surge, the Second Emissary's face suddenly changed. That killing intent was like a tangible entity, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his heart filled with coldness.
The next moment, he looked at Ye Cangtian and gritted his teeth, sneering, "Ye Cangtian, you'd better take a good look before you speak!"
Hmm?
Seeing the Second Emissary pointing towards the execution platform, Ye Cangtian subconsciously looked over.
He saw the guards beside the execution platform helping Nancy and Hasar up, and tearing off human skin masks from their faces?
Not Nancy and Hasar?
Ye Cangtian frowned, and for a moment, he couldn't react. The entire process was being recorded, and now it wasn't Nancy and Hasar.
What trick was the Bright Hall playing?
Heh heh.
Just as Ye Cangtian's confused gaze fell upon him, the Second Emissary sneered and said, "Are you very surprised?"
"I am very surprised, but I am more curious as to why!" Ye Cangtian nodded and said.
"Do you think I will tell you?" the Second Emissary said dismissively.
The reason he did this was still for the credibility of the Bright Hall.
If Ye Cangtian did not show up, then they would execute these two decoys and post it online, thus fulfilling what they had said earlier.
And if Ye Cangtian showed up, then everything could be put aside, and they could have a good talk with Ye Cangtian about Nancy and the Bright Seal.
Anyway, all those who were recording the surroundings were their own people, so how to edit and when to post it online was still up to him.
