The aura of a Heavenly Rank expert caused the expressions of those present to change once more.
With such a powerful trump card on China's side, it seemed that the battle with the Temple of Light was not a sure victory!
If the Temple of Light were to be defeated, it would be almost impossible to seek revenge later.
Conversely, they might be in trouble afterward, as the Temple of Light would never tolerate their choices today.
Thinking this, the people from these factions silently prayed for the Chinese forces to emerge victorious.
After all, they had already missed their chance to align themselves. Even if they were to switch back to the Temple of Light's side now, it would be meaningless.
"So it's Hao Tian! You've actually emerged from the ruins!"
Xing Yuan looked at Hao Tian, his eyes full of smiles, and continued, "However, choosing to come here is the biggest mistake of your life. Today, you will undoubtedly leave your life here!"
"Hmph!"
Upon hearing Xing Yuan's words, Hao Tian snorted coldly and said, "I send the same words back to you!"
"Heh heh, then let's stop with the nonsense and get straight to the point."
Saying this, Xing Yuan surveyed the crowd and continued, "This is their territory, after all, and it's not good to damage it. Shall we go outside to duel?"
"Who's afraid of whom!"
Hao Tian snorted coldly and then took a step forward, leaving the main hall.
Seeing this, Xing Yuan smiled slightly and followed directly.
The next moment, the intense clash of weapons could be heard from outside the hall.
Only then did Ye Cangtian's gaze turn to Guang Yu, and he spoke, "Guang Yu, your trump card cannot help you for now. Shall we continue? Or do you want to wait for them to finish their fight?"
"I wouldn't be so bored. However, in this situation, I think it's you who should reveal your trump card, not me!"
Guang Yu snorted coldly, pointed his large hand at Ye Cangtian, and continued, "Now, on our side, we still have two Heavenly Rank experts, myself and the Pope, while on China's side, there is only you."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, immediately understanding the other party's meaning, and thus said, "Heh heh, you intend to gang up on me? Does the Temple of Light have no shame at all?"
"That's right, we intend to gang up on you!"
Guang Yu glanced at Ye Cangtian, his eyes filled with ruthlessness, and continued, "As for shame, what use is shame? As long as I can kill you, I don't care about shame!"
At this point, he could no longer care about his reputation. The true priority was to obtain the three seals from the other party. He was truly going all out.
As he spoke, Guang Yu slowly stood up from his seat, and the Pope beside him also followed suit.
The two walked down the steps step by step, their auras rapidly ascending.
It was clear that Guang Yu was not joking. He truly intended to join forces with the Pope to deal with Ye Cangtian.
"Alas, fine, fine. Since you are forcing me to reveal my trump card, I can only oblige you."
Ye Cangtian sighed and then loudly said again, "Master, isn't it time for you to come out? Otherwise, your beloved disciple will be harmed by two scoundrels!"
"Hmph!"
As the voice fell, a cold snort immediately came from outside the hall, followed by an ordinary-looking old man who flashed into the hall and stood beside Ye Cangtian.
Another Heavenly Rank expert?
Once again, sensing the aura of a Heavenly Rank expert, all the factions present felt a stir, and their faces clearly showed a hint of excitement.
With Ye Cangtian's trump cards being so abundant, the probability of victory was skyrocketing.
"It's you!"
Saint Guang Yu looked at Elder Zhou, and a sharp glint instantly flashed in his eyes. He had not seen the other party's appearance, but he was extremely familiar with the aura emanating from him.
Beside him, the Pope, seeing Guang Yu's expression, immediately realized something and quickly asked, "My Lord, do you know him?"
"I'd recognize him even if he were reduced to ashes!"
Guang Yu glanced at the Pope and said fiercely, "It was Xiang Yang who was pursuing him and was killed in retaliation."
Initially, Saint Guang Yu believed the rumors to be true, that Kong Ling from the Dark Association had led people to attack the Temple of Light ruins.
Later, because of killing Xiang Yang, Kong Ling was seriously injured and subsequently murdered by villains.
It was also because of Kong Ling's death that Guang Yu no longer pursued the matter.
But until now, upon sensing Elder Zhou's aura, he had confirmed the other party's identity and simultaneously overturned the external rumors.
Now, it seemed, this was all a setup by China!
China intended to assassinate the Heavenly Rank experts of the Temple of Light, thereby weakening the Temple of Light's strength, which ultimately led to the current situation.
Thinking this, Guang Yu's hatred for the Chinese forces grew even stronger.
"Heh heh, it seems you haven't forgotten about this old man!"
Elder Zhou, hearing their conversation, no longer concealed himself and spoke with a cold sneer.
Guang Yu heard this and snorted coldly, saying, "You old fellow, since you've appeared before me today, don't think about leaving!"
Heh heh.
Elder Zhou smiled brightly and continued, "Guang Yu, do you think you are very powerful? If Xiang Yang hadn't helped you that day, you would already be a cold corpse. In other words, Xiang Yang died in your stead!"
What Elder Zhou said was not false. His cultivation and Guang Yu's were on par, and even Guang Yu's cultivation was slightly weaker than his.
If it weren't for the presence of an additional Heavenly Rank expert supporting him, he might have actually been able to kill Guang Yu.
"A defeated foe, you were fortunate to escape with your life, yet you don't cherish it and still dare to provoke me now. You truly are tired of living!"
As he spoke, he glanced around again and said coldly, "Today, I will bury both of you, master and disciple, here! Old friend, it's time for you to appear!"
He could not afford not to avenge Xiang Yang. He also could not let go of the Temple of Light, which had fallen into such a passive state.
For this reason, Guang Yu directly revealed his final trump card.
"Guang Yu, can't you and the Pope handle them?"
A hoarse voice echoed, and an elder with white hair appeared in a corner.
He was the hermit of the outside world, Louis II, who had a decades-long friendship with Guang Yu.
"This..."
Upon seeing Louis, everyone present felt their hearts pounded heavily.
Who would have thought that the Temple of Light was so well-prepared and had even hidden a Heavenly Rank expert.
Now, a total of seven Heavenly Rank experts had appeared. Such a scene was rarely seen in a century!
Thinking this, all their gazes fell upon Ye Cangtian, wanting to see if Ye Cangtian had any other trump cards!
"Ye Cangtian, do you have any other trump cards?"
Guang Yu's face showed a deep smile. He had heard of several experts from the Hidden Organization.
Dongfang Hongwu had been missing for many years. In his opinion, he had likely died in some corner.
And among Chen Yi and Hao Tian, one of them was a traitor to the Hidden Organization.
This could also be Ye Cangtian's biggest variable. After all, if Hao Tian was a traitor, Ye Cangtian would be even more passive.
Stepping back, even if Hao Tian was not a traitor, the Chinese forces present would only have three Heavenly Rank experts, which was still one less than the Temple of Light.
Therefore, this battle, he could almost declare it a foregone conclusion.
Sensing everyone's gaze and hearing Guang Yu's words, Ye Cangtian's smile remained unchanged, and he said, "Guang Yu, I have a suggestion. Revealing trump cards one by one takes too much time.
Why don't both sides reveal all their trump cards at once? What do you think?"
"Good!"
Guang Yu readily agreed. He had already revealed all his trump cards, so he naturally wouldn't care about such a matter.
Moreover, revealing trump cards directly would be beneficial to him, preventing him from being even more passive due to Ye Cangtian's unexpected trump cards.
Seeing that the other party had agreed, Ye Cangtian quickly said, "Then, this is your home ground. I don't think you'll refuse to reveal your trump card first, will you?"
"..."
At this remark, Guang Yu's face turned a little red. Where did he have any more trump cards!
If he couldn't produce anything, wouldn't it be awkward!
After a pause of about two minutes, Guang Yu finally found a lame trump card and said, "After such a long time, the Knights Templar should be arriving here soon. This is my trump card! There is nothing else."
Phew!
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian breathed a sigh of relief. If Xing Yuan's previous investigation was incorrect and the other party was hiding another Heavenly Rank expert, then the outcome would be uncertain.
However, seeing that Guang Yu had also revealed all his trump cards, he felt relieved.
