Meanwhile, seeing the smile on Ye Cangtian’s face, Guang Yu felt both displeased and tense.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "Ye Cangtian, I've said it. It's your turn to reveal your trump card!"
"Is that all?"
"You’ve truly disappointed me! I thought you would be better prepared!"
Ye Cangtian smiled gently, a smile that made Guang Yu and the Pope’s expressions even more grim.
Could Ye Cangtian still have a trump card?
At this point, any hidden trump card must be no weaker than a Heavenly rank expert.
Thinking this, Guang Yu glared at Ye Cangtian and said, "Ye Cangtian, reveal your final trump card. Otherwise, you won't be leaving this hall today!"
"Alright, then I shall reveal another trump card!"
Ye Cangtian looked at the other’s somber expression, smiled slightly, then turned around, pointing a hand towards the hall door. A stream of spiritual energy shot from his fingertip.
Boom!
As the spiritual energy exploded outside the hall, a massive roar erupted.
The next moment, two figures flashed in from outside the hall. One was wearing a blue long robe, it was the previously seen Haotian.
The other wore a black long robe and a purple-gold mask, it was Xingyuan of the Dark Association.
Seeing the two enter the hall unharmed, the Pope and Guang Yu instantly realized something.
The Pope glared fiercely at Xingyuan and angrily asked, "Xingyuan, what is the meaning of this?"
Xingyuan heard him and smiled slightly, slowly opening his mouth, "Heh heh, can't you see? Alright, I'll tell you. Before we came, the Dark Association had already formed an alliance with the Huaxia forces!"
"What!"
As this sentence landed, although the Pope and Guang Yu had prepared themselves mentally, they still showed disbelief in their eyes upon hearing these words.
After a long while, the Pope finally looked at Xingyuan and angrily said, "Xingyuan, your actions are like seeking skin from a tiger! As you can see, the Guangming Hall is allied with the Huaxia forces, and now it is about to suffer the poisonous hand of Huaxia!"
"Heh heh, can't this be said the other way around?"
Xingyuan immediately laughed and continued, "I recall it's always been the Guangming Hall doing treacherous things!"
"Moreover, this time, it was the Guangming Hall that first harbored ill intentions. Ye Cangtian is merely counterattacking passively."
"You..."
With that statement, the Pope’s face turned as ugly as if he had eaten a fly, yet he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.
Seeing this, Guang Yu quickly interjected, "Regardless, you should understand that if the Guangming Hall falls from its pedestal, then only the Huaxia forces and the Dark Association will contend for supremacy!"
"I'll ask you one question, with the strength of the Dark Association, are they a match for the Huaxia forces?"
Now that the Huaxia forces were rising, their combat power was continuously increasing, something the Dark Association could not compare to.
Let alone the backbone forces, just talk about the top-tier combat power.
The Huaxia forces had at least three Heavenly rank experts, while the Dark Association currently only had Xingyuan, and a traitor in the Huaxia ruins.
With such a comparison of strength, it was difficult for the Dark Association to defeat the Huaxia forces.
Therefore, in his opinion, the best way for the Dark Association to deal with the Huaxia forces was to join forces with the Guangming Hall.
"You are mistaken, we do not need to contend for supremacy!"
Xingyuan’s gaze fell upon Guang Yu, and he said, "We have signed a treaty of eternal alliance. This time, there is no deceit..."
"Are you fucking crazy!"
"Huaxia, the Dark Association, and the Guangming Hall have been fighting for decades. What eternal alliance is there? Everything is for profit!"
"You're telling me there's no deceit now? Xingyuan, have you been foolish from being in the Dark Ruins for decades?"
Before Xingyuan could finish, Guang Yu, who was already dissatisfied with this outcome, interrupted Xingyuan and roared angrily.
"Heh heh."
Xingyuan merely smiled slightly at Guang Yu’s outburst and paid him no further attention.
He had said what he needed to say. Whether the other party believed it or not was not his concern.
"Xingyuan, you say the Dark Association has an eternal alliance with Huaxia, then I ask you, are the Huaxia ruins open to you?"
The Pope finally regained his composure and said slowly.
He naturally knew that Guang Yu had already revealed all his trump cards, and there were currently a total of 7 Heavenly rank experts on the scene.
The biggest variable among them was Xingyuan of the Dark Association.
Therefore, he had to sow discord between the Dark Association and the Huaxia forces, to make Xingyuan switch his allegiance back to the Guangming Hall, so they would have a greater chance of winning.
And the Huaxia forces had always prohibited any force from entering the Huaxia ruins.
Even the Guangming Hall had exhausted all its means to barely enter once.
With such difficulty, he didn't believe the Dark Association could freely enter and exit the Huaxia ruins.
If they couldn't enter and exit the Huaxia ruins, then what was the point of calling it an eternal alliance?
"The resources of the Dark Ruins are sufficient for the Dark Association's development, we have no need to enter the Huaxia ruins."
Xingyuan naturally understood the other party's intentions and said calmly.
Humph!
The Pope snorted coldly upon hearing this and said, "It sounds good, but I think your alliance is nothing more than that! Give up early!"
"Humph!"
As the Pope's voice fell, another cold snort came. Ye Cangtian, who had remained silent, stepped forward.
His gaze swept over the Pope, and he said faintly, "I, on behalf of Huaxia, now formally declare that from today onwards, the Huaxia ruins will be permanently open to the Dark Association!"
What!
The Pope and Guang Yu's eyes widened instantly.
They knew that the Guangming Hall had suffered heavy losses to enter the Huaxia ruins!
Even the three great knight orders of the inner hall were basically crippled. Such a price only yielded one chance to enter the Huaxia ruins.
And now, the Dark Association was tacitly allowed to enter the Huaxia ruins permanently, a situation that the two found truly hard to accept.
"Ye Cangtian, what kind of agreement did you reach between yourselves?"
Guang Yu roared gloomily. He didn't believe that Ye Cangtian would allow the Dark Association to enter the Huaxia ruins just because Xingyuan had intervened this time.
After all, the enmity between the Dark Association and the Huaxia forces was no less than that with the Guangming Hall, and these hatreds were difficult to eliminate.
If people from the Dark Association were allowed to freely enter the Huaxia ruins, it might stir up great waves.
Ye Cangtian glanced at Guang Yu and said coldly, "Guang Yu, you worry too much. Let's deal with today's matters first. If you can survive today, you might understand everything in the future."
"You..."
Upon hearing this, Guang Yu's expression changed again. After thinking about it, what the other party said made sense.
If they couldn't deal with the other party today, then they would die here, and what happened later would be of no consequence to him.
And if Ye Cangtian and Xingyuan were all eliminated, then eliminating the Huaxia forces and the Dark Ruins later would be a trivial matter, and there would be no need to worry about these things.
Thinking this, Guang Yu's gaze turned somber.
He glanced at Ye Cangtian and said, "Your trump card, I truly did not expect it. But even with four Heavenly rank experts, do you think you can win?"
Saying this, Guang Yu glanced at Louis and said faintly, "Louis, Haotian will be yours."
Louis glanced at Haotian opposite him, then nodded, "No problem."
Upon hearing this, Guang Yu looked at the Pope again and said, "Pope, you have fought with the Dark Association for many years. Today, let's settle things with the Dark Association!"
The Pope immediately understood and said, "My lord, rest assured, Xingyuan will be handled by me. However, my lord, you have to deal with Ye Cangtian and his disciple..."
A hint of worry flashed across the Pope's face. Those were two Heavenly rank experts, and even Guang Yu might not be their match.
Although he sometimes looked down on Guang Yu, at this moment, he was absolutely united with Guang Yu.
Because if Guang Yu were to have an accident, he would not be any better off.
"Don't worry, it's not that easy for them to kill me!"
"As long as you and Louis finish quickly and come to my aid, we will have hope of victory..."
Guang Yu glanced at the Pope and said slowly.
As the true ruler of the Guangming Hall, he had to stand out at this moment. This was also the best arrangement.
Otherwise, the Guangming Hall might have no future.
