“My pleasure to obey!”
As the other party replied, the hall door creaked open slowly.
The next moment, a man wearing a black robe and a golden-purple mask on his face, slowly walked in.
Xing Yuan?
Upon seeing the person, the Pope and Saint Guangyu were stunned. The golden-purple mask on his face indicated that he was a Heavenly level expert from the Dark Association.
The patterns on the mask had already revealed his identity.
A moment later, Saint Guangyu recovered from his shock and said, “I didn’t expect it to be you who came!”
Before, Saint Guangyu had always thought that the Dark Association was led by Lan Yue, a Guardian level expert.
After all, they had heard some things about the Dark Association.
Not long after Kong Ling came out of seclusion, he died. Currently, in the Dark Association, Xing Yuan was the only publicly acknowledged Heavenly level expert.
Including the Heavenly level traitor who caused a stir in the Huaxia ruins a while ago, there were only two Heavenly level experts.
Although the Dark Association was suspected to have two more Heavenly level experts, they were not together and could not join forces.
Therefore, in Saint Guangyu’s opinion, Xing Yuan would not leave the Dark Ruins.
Otherwise, if any turmoil occurred in the Dark Ruins and there was no one to oversee it, it would likely cause great trouble.
“I also did not expect Saint Guangyu’s perception to be so terrifying, to actually discover my presence.”
Xing Yuan looked at Saint Guangyu, smiled slightly, and continued, “As for my coming here, is it very surprising?”
Heh.
Hearing this, Saint Guangyu shook his head with a bitter smile. He could only say that Xing Yuan had his reasons for coming and his reasons for not coming.
The opening of the Heavenly Gate was a major event. No expert would want to be the first to enter the heavens.
Therefore, to enter the heavens, it was normal for Xing Yuan to set aside the Dark Association. After all, the heavens offered a bigger stage, and there was also the legendary art of longevity.
“Xing Yuan, you’ve seen the situation. I want to know your choice now.”
Seeing Saint Guangyu fall silent, the Pope said in a grim tone.
Towards this opponent with whom he had competed countless times, the Pope’s face was filled with apprehension, and he remained vigilant at all times, ready to make a move.
“Heh, I’m already standing in front of you. Do I have any other choice?”
Looking at the Pope’s expression, Xing Yuan chuckled playfully and said, “My purpose for coming here is the same as yours: to deal with the Huaxia forces together. To be precise, to kill Ye Cangtian and his group!”
Huh?
Hearing this, the Pope’s eyes lit up, but he still frowned, “As far as I know, your Dark Association has been dormant for a long time. Why are you suddenly taking action against the Huaxia forces?”
“It is precisely because the Dark Association suffered heavy losses that I cannot let the Huaxia forces continue to grow stronger.”
“And I have come this time to discuss cooperation matters with the Bright Hall and to jointly kill Ye Cangtian and others!”
Xing Yuan’s gaze fell on the Pope, and he said very frankly.
Upon hearing this, the Pope sneered and continued to probe, “Xing Yuan, aren’t you aware that Huaxia and the Bright Hall are cooperating at the moment? How can we attack our allies!”
“Heh, cut the crap. I know everything that just happened here.”
Xing Yuan smiled slightly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and continued, “Stop testing me. One sentence, do we cooperate or not?”
“Cooperate! Of course, we cooperate!”
With that sentence, the Pope stopped speaking. He had been seen through by Xing Yuan, and further probing was meaningless.
It was Saint Guangyu, who was standing beside him, who directly made the decision.
With Xing Yuan’s addition, they would have even greater certainty in eliminating Ye Cangtian and the others.
As he spoke, he stood up, took out a wine pot, poured two cups of strong liquor, and offered one. “To our pleasant cooperation, and the successful elimination of Ye Cangtian.”
“Good, a pleasant cooperation.” Xing Yuan replied, and then drained the cup of strong liquor.
…
Bright City, a hotel near Bright Mountain.
In the presidential suite, Gui Wu paced back and forth in the room, his face filled with anxiety.
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening came. Gui Wu immediately rushed over. Seeing that the person entering was Ye Cangtian and Qiangwei, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“You’re back so late? You scared me to death,” Gui Wu complained in annoyance.
Ye Cangtian glanced over and said with a bitter smile, “Don’t mention it. If it weren’t for Senior Haotian revealing his aura, we would have already fought desperately with the Bright Hall!”
Ah?
Hearing this, Gui Wu was immediately startled and quickly asked, “What’s going on? On the first day of meeting, the Bright Hall wants to tear down the facade?”
“How to put it? There’s a possibility!”
“It was because I disagreed with merging the Four Seals tonight that the conflict was initiated…”
Ye Cangtian scratched his head and said slowly.
After the incident, he had also pondered it and felt that the Pope’s actions were very different from before.
The Pope in the past was very calm and very concerned about the reputation of the Bright Hall. In a situation like today, he would likely have endured it.
But today’s actions were like a wild beast breaking free from its restraints, quite mad, and he actually wanted to make a move directly.
This gave Ye Cangtian a very bad feeling. Once the Pope completely lost his mind, his actions would be difficult to predict.
Listening to Ye Cangtian’s explanation, Gui Wu’s expression also turned grim.
It was fortunate that Haotian and Elder Zhou had accompanied him, otherwise, Ye Cangtian might have been in danger today.
Thinking of this, Gui Wu quickly said, “Boss, we must make thorough preparations for the next meeting.”
Mm.
Ye Cangtian nodded, then changed the subject and asked, “By the way, how is Nancy doing now?”
Hearing this, Gui Wu quickly replied, “After arriving here, Nancy went into hiding and secretly contacted her former subordinates to prepare to control the Bright Hall.”
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded with satisfaction, and then asked again, “Do you have any information on your end?”
Gui Wu pouted upon hearing this, “You probably already know all the information on my end…”
Gui Wu stated that although she had arrived a few days earlier, she had not gained much.
She only received news that some factions had been invited to Bright City, and Ye Cangtian should have already learned about these today.
As for the news within the Bright Hall, due to the presence of Heavenly level experts, Gui Wu dared not delve deeper.
As she spoke, Gui Wu seemed to recall something and quickly said, “By the way, not all factions are on the same page as the Bright Hall. Many are only here for the Heavenly Gate…”
Huh?
This was good news!
Ye Cangtian’s eyes flickered, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
As long as those factions were not sincerely cooperating with the Bright Hall, then breaking up the Bright Hall’s alliance would not be a problem.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian looked at Gui Wu and asked, “Do you know where those factions are staying?”
“I know.”
Gui Wu nodded. The places where these factions were staying were not secret, and one could find out with a little attention.
Previously, Gui Wu was worried that these factions would collude with the Bright Hall.
Therefore, she had investigated their locations and was waiting for Ye Cangtian’s command to eliminate them.
But now, it seemed that Ye Cangtian had other ideas.
Thinking this, Gui Wu told Ye Cangtian the locations of these factions.
After learning the locations of all the factions, Ye Cangtian remained silent for a long time, calculating in his mind who he should meet.
After all, with so many factions, he couldn’t meet every one of them. Choosing a representative would be enough to convey his intentions to others.
The Titan family?
After a long period of silence, Ye Cangtian’s target fell on the Titan family.
All families and factions were similar in his eyes, and this Titan family left a deeper impression on him.
Moreover, according to his observation, the patriarch of the Titan clan, Emerson, was not an easy person to deal with. His strength was formidable, and it would be difficult to find an opponent below the Heavenly level.
With such strength, he should have a certain status among those families and factions.
“Let’s go. We’ll go meet this Titan family.”
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian, along with Gui Wu and Qiangwei, left the hotel.
