Bai Wuchang was not stupid. If Po Xiao wanted to shake him off, the opponent could completely escape his pursuit by using this formation.
But Po Xiao chose to reveal himself now, likely with another scheme in mind, perhaps to silence him.
Thinking this, he glanced at Po Xiao and said grimly, "Po Xiao, this is Ghost City. I can go wherever I want, so what do you mean by tracking me!"
"Heh, you're still quibbling? You really make me look down on you!"
"Besides, is quibbling about this useful?"
Upon hearing this, Po Xiao sneered dismissively and retorted.
With that one sentence, Bai Wuchang finally reacted. It seemed that was indeed the case; what was the point of quibbling? Even a fool wouldn't believe it.
"Po Xiao, I was indeed tracking you, what can you do about it? This was all instructed by Lord Kong Ling!"
A moment later, Bai Wuchang looked at Po Xiao and continued, "If you're not satisfied, you can go argue with Lord Kong Ling. As long as he gives the order, I'll leave immediately!"
Ye Cangtian heard this and said disdainfully, "I didn't expect you to be so loyal after defecting to Kong Ling!"
"Too much talk is useless!"
Bai Wuchang coldly snorted and questioned, "I'm asking you, why did you prepare such a secret passage and set up a formation! And where are you going now!"
"Heh, since Kong Ling is already preparing to make a move against me, shouldn't I prepare some contingency plans?"
"As for where I'm going, it doesn't seem like your place to ask!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Bai Wuchang and said with a slight, disdainful smile.
There was nothing left to hide. Even if he didn't say it, the other party could figure it out with a little thought.
"Do right, and fear no wrong!"
"You've even prepared an escape route, and you're still sneaking around mysteriously, and you dare to say you have no intention of rebelling?"
Bai Wuchang sneered upon hearing this.
Although Kong Ling was very displeased with Po Xiao and had considered eliminating him, he hadn't taken any strong or drastic measures yet.
Even taking down Blue Moon was merely to gather evidence of Po Xiao's rebellion.
Therefore, in his opinion, if Po Xiao had nothing to hide, he could have let Kong Ling investigate. Once Kong Ling found no proof, he couldn't do anything to Po Xiao!
After all, Po Xiao still had considerable support within the Dark Association, and he also had powerful backing like Xing Yuan.
But now, with Po Xiao preparing escape routes and making moves in secret, it already indicated that Po Xiao had intentions of rebellion.
"Heh, you really are a good judge of character!"
At this moment, Ye Cangtian smiled playfully.
Before Bai Wuchang could understand what was happening, he saw Po Xiao voluntarily remove his mask, revealing a familiar face.
"Ye Cangtian, you're actually Ye Cangtian!"
Bai Wuchang almost screamed. He couldn't have imagined in his wildest dreams that Po Xiao and Ye Cangtian were the same person!
After all, the two had always been mortal enemies, having clashed countless times, with many witnesses to these events!
Furthermore, the Dark Association's selection criteria were extremely strict, and it shouldn't have been possible for Ye Cangtian to infiltrate it!
For a moment, Bai Wuchang's mind nearly went into chaos.
Seeing Bai Wuchang's astonished face, Ye Cangtian revealed a faint smile and said, "Now, don't I have a lot of things that don't need explaining to you?"
This...
Bai Wuchang glanced at the other party and remained silent.
What was there to explain!
The other party was not a member of the Dark Association in the first place, so it was normal for him to do anything rebellious.
Thinking this, he asked, "So you killed Zi Long! And Blue Moon, like you, is also from the Chinese forces?"
Heh.
Ye Cangtian glanced at the other party and then nodded in tacit agreement.
Seeing Ye Cangtian's action, Bai Wuchang's expression turned grim.
Not only had the other party revealed his true identity, but he had also confessed to everything without reservation. This meant the other party definitely didn't intend to let him leave.
Otherwise, if his identity were exposed, Kong Ling would surely hunt him down relentlessly throughout the ruins.
Thinking this, a trace of anger flared in his eyes, and he said, "Po Xiao, it seems you truly regard me as a pushover. Are you that confident you can keep me here?"
"Of course, do you think you can still escape?"
Ye Cangtian sneered dismissively. With a slight tremor, the dark golden scythe of death appeared in his hand.
The reason he had revealed everything was because, in his eyes, the other party was already a dead man.
At the same time, this illusion formation was arranged in conjunction with the Zhen Xin Tablet. Whether from the inside or outside, breaking it was no simple matter, even for Kong Ling.
Therefore, he had no worries about Bai Wuchang escaping and leaking everything.
"Facts speak louder than words. I'd like to see how much strength you have to make your confidence swell so much!"
Bai Wuchang snorted coldly, then charged forward.
At the same time, his wailing staff struck out, carrying a pale light, and slammed heavily towards Po Xiao's head.
Boom!
The next instant, a loud bang echoed, and Bai Wuchang's eyes widened.
Po Xiao had simply raised his arm and blocked his attack with the scythe of death.
It must be known that although this strike was not a powerful technique, it was immensely potent. It shouldn't have been blocked so easily; it was simply unacceptable to him.
While thinking this, Bai Wuchang did not stop. Instantly, his other dark green hand struck out without hesitation.
Hmph!
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian let out a cold laugh. He had never yielded to anyone in close combat, so without a word, he met the attack with a palm of his own.
Boom!
Another roar, and Ye Cangtian stood firm, motionless, while Bai Wuchang was sent flying back dozens of steps before he could regain his footing.
His face showed disbelief once again.
He was well aware that Po Xiao was powerful, but this was too outrageous!
With his cultivation nearing the eighth heaven, he had actually been defeated in a direct confrontation. Just how had the other party's cultivation grown so quickly!
"No need to be so shocked. My cultivation has already reached the peak of the ninth heaven, just one step away from reaching the Heaven-tier cultivation."
"So, it's normal for you to lose to me!"
Ye Cangtian said playfully, looking at Bai Wuchang's stunned gaze.
Sometimes, after enduring for too long, he felt stifled. Being able to reveal his strength without reservation now was truly exhilarating.
"No wonder!"
No wonder he dared to challenge Lord Kong Ling; it turned out his cultivation had reached such a terrifying level!
Still shocked in his heart, Bai Wuchang, however, displayed a strange smile on the surface. He said mockingly, "Although your cultivation is formidable, it's a pity your future ends here.
You can look at your palm now!"
Hmm?
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian instinctively looked at his palm and saw a dark green mark appear on it.
This mark attempted to extend tendrils and spread towards his body. However, bizarrely, these tendrils, along with the dark green mark, were rapidly shrinking.
The reason was none other than his cultivation technique, the Zhou Tian Gong method. After being improved, it possessed the ability to devour.
Now, even if he didn't control it, the technique would automatically run, devouring the toxins on his body.
"Haha, it seems you've noticed. This move is my Corpse Poison Palm, which I've practiced diligently for decades, using countless corpses to perfect.
Once poisoned, unless I personally intervene, you will turn into corpse water within a short time!"
"What do you say, Po Xiao? Why don't you beg me?"
Seeing Ye Cangtian fall silent, Bai Wuchang assumed he had been stunned by the poisoning and burst into smug laughter.
His Corpse Poison Palm was unique in the world; only he could use it and only he could detoxify it. Even Hei Wuchang could not resolve it.
Therefore, upon imagining Po Xiao, or rather Ye Cangtian, about to die by his hand, he became uncontrollably excited.
"What are you talking about?"
"You want to kill me with this childish poison? And you want me to beg you? Have you not woken up yet!"
Ye Cangtian looked at the other party with contempt and held up his palm.
This...
Upon seeing Ye Cangtian's perfectly normal palm, Bai Wuchang was instantly stunned. He was sure the other party had been struck by his Corpse Poison Palm, but why were there no signs of poisoning?
Thinking this, he couldn't help but question, "How exactly did you do it?"
