Hmm?
Ye Cangtian's brow furrowed. He had long suspected that Xuan Sijiu would receive such news and would not let this opportunity pass.
However, he had not yet figured out how to handle this matter.
After all, the Bright Hall squad had already been eliminated, and anyone else would have turned their attention to the Anti-Black Alliance.
Therefore, if he declined, and this matter spread, even in Xingyuan, it would be difficult for him to explain.
"My Lord, isn't Ye Cangtian an absolute prodigy among the Huaxia forces? He might even become a leader of the Huaxia forces in the future!"
"If we can capture him, it would be a great achievement. What do you say?"
Perhaps seeing Po Xiao hesitate, Xuan Sijiu quickly stepped forward and persuaded him.
He had to offer some temptation to get the other party to act, otherwise, when would his revenge be avenged!
"Hmph! Do I need you to tell me these things?"
Hearing Xuan Sijiu's words, Ye Cangtian suddenly snorted coldly and said indifferently, "But now, if you and I bring our men, can we guarantee the annihilation of everyone in Shadow Tower, the Xue family, and the Anti-Black Alliance?"
"This..."
With one sentence, Xuan Sijiu was instantly dumbfounded, unable to utter a single word.
Including himself, the Dark Association only had twenty to thirty people. The number of people in Shadow Tower and the Xue family alone was at least nearly a thousand.
This did not even include the original members of the Anti-Black Alliance. If these people were added, the number of people in the Anti-Black Alliance would be at least over two thousand.
Such a massive number, even in its prime, it would be impossible for the branch to eliminate so many people at once.
Moreover, they only had a mere twenty to thirty people.
And if they acted now, it would be like beating the grass to startle the snake. If the other party was at a disadvantage, they would easily scatter, making it impossible to eliminate them all.
Thinking this, Xuan Sijiu quickly stepped forward and said, "Lord Po Xiao, do you have any brilliant strategies?"
"It's not impossible to tell you, but if you leak the heavenly secrets, don't blame me for being impolite."
Ye Cangtian glanced at the other party coldly, then spoke, "I have already sent out messages to the surrounding cities. They will soon bring people to support us, and then it will not be too late to take action..."
"So, Your Lord already had arrangements. It seems I was being overly worried."
"My Lord, if you need anything, please don't hesitate to come to me..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Xuan Sijiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that the other party agreed to deal with Shadow Tower and the Xue family, he was content. Waiting a few more days was not a problem for him.
"Report!"
Before Xuan Sijiu could finish speaking, a report interrupted him.
Immediately, a guard walked in quickly and bowed to Po Xiao and Xuan Sijiu.
Previously, a herb farmer came to report that while picking herbs, he had discovered a corpse in the surrounding mountains and forests...
As he spoke, the guard took out a Qiankun bag and retrieved a man's corpse from it.
This man's clothing was not special, only wrapped in some bandages, indicating that he had been injured before his death.
What was most striking was that the man was wearing a dark gold mask. The material and color of this mask were exactly the same as that of Bone Sea.
It was upon seeing this that Xuan Sijiu was stunned.
No matter how slow-witted he was, through this mask, he knew that the other party was at least equal to Bone Sea, and their strength was comparable.
At the same time, the other party was likely someone from Kong Ling.
Thinking this, Xuan Sijiu's clothes were already quietly soaked with sweat.
A quasi-Heavenly rank expert held an extraordinary position in the Dark Association. Now that he had died in Dongjiang City, Kong Ling, in his rage, might not spare him!
If that were the case, even if he didn't die, all his future prospects would be ruined.
Looking at the corpse as well, Ye Cangtian's brow furrowed.
That was Xue He. After killing him last night, Ye Cangtian had directly left with Lan Yue and the Nether Hunter Tiger without dealing with Xue He.
Few people usually went to the mountain forest there. By the time Xue He was discovered, they would have already left Dongjiang City.
But who would have thought that on the second day, a herb farmer would come to report it? It was truly fate!
However, this was nothing, as there were no clues left at the scene anyway.
"My Lord, the mask on this person's face is identical to Lord Bone Sea's. He should also be one of us from the Dark Association."
"Now that he has been killed, we should investigate and find the real killer."
"So that everyone will know that the people of the Dark Association are not easily dealt with..."
After a while, Xuan Sijiu regained his composure and quickly approached Ye Cangtian, speaking.
He had just thought that he could not escape responsibility for this matter. The only thing he could do was to find the killer as much as possible and give the headquarters of the Dark Association a satisfactory explanation.
And since the killer could kill Xue He, he was definitely not someone he could deal with, so he had to ask Po Xiao to take action.
"Hmph! Since he had an accident in Dongjiang City, it is only right for you to investigate. But if I remember correctly, I am not from your Dongjiang City, am I?"
"Besides, I have many things to handle. Where would I have the time to investigate this matter with you?"
"Of course, for the sake of being colleagues, if you can find the real killer before I leave, I don't mind helping you capture the opponent!"
Ye Cangtian snorted coldly, his gaze darkly fixed on Xuan Sijiu.
He would not easily accept such a task to deal with himself.
Idiot! How foolish I am!
On the other side, hearing Po Xiao's words, Xuan Sijiu wished he could slap himself.
He was so focused on finding the truth that he overlooked a crucial matter.
Po Xiao sided with the Xingyuan faction, and this person's mask was identical to Bone Sea's, so he should be someone from Kong Ling.
Now, the two factions were in a cold war and irreconcilable. It was unlikely that Po Xiao would agree to investigate this matter for him!
Thinking this, he quickly said, "Lord Po Xiao, please forgive me. It was my lack of foresight..."
Humph!
Ye Cangtian heard this and snorted lightly, waving his hand to interrupt the other party and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's displeased expression, Xuan Sijiu dared not stop him and quickly forced a smiling face to see Ye Cangtian off as he left the hall.
...
After leaving the hall, Ye Cangtian took Lan Yue and went to the Anti-Black Alliance.
The two of them went directly to find Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was a little confused when he saw them. It wasn't time for the two parties to meet and receive information, so why were they here?
Thinking this, he quickly brewed two cups of tea, handed them to Ye Cangtian and Lan Yue, and then sat down.
"Lord Grim Reaper, did you see that person yesterday? Did you start any cooperation? Is there anything you need me to do? Just give the order, my Lord!"
Fang Yuan asked first.
He was quite concerned about someone meeting the Grim Reaper last night, especially since that person had found the Grim Reaper through him.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian said indifferently, "That person was Kusi from the Bright Squad. I have already dealt with him."
Hiss!
With that sentence, Fang Yuan immediately gasped. Just as he had thought, that person had found the Grim Reaper through him.
And the person's identity was Kusi, which meant that much of his work was not done properly. If the Grim Reaper hadn't been powerful, he would have almost harmed him this time.
Thinking this, he quickly stood up and said to Ye Cangtian, "Lord Grim Reaper, it was my oversight. I beg for your punishment!"
"Never mind, Kusi intentionally concealed his identity, so it's normal that you didn't know. I don't blame you."
Saying this, Ye Cangtian changed the subject and said, "I've come here this time to tell you something else!"
Hearing the Grim Reaper say this, Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked, "Lord Grim Reaper, please don't hesitate to give any orders. I will do my best."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian was not polite and directly said, "I require you to move the Anti-Black Alliance..."
Now, the Anti-Black Alliance taking over the matters of Shadow Tower and the Xue family had become common knowledge.
As a result, the Dark Association would definitely send troops to clear out the Anti-Black Alliance to prevent it from becoming stronger.
Therefore, if they stayed, the crisis would become more severe. Don't forget that Bone Sea was still pursuing the remnants of the Bright Hall in the eastern region!
If Bone Sea returned and learned of this, he would definitely attack the Anti-Black Alliance.
Therefore, for safety's sake, Ye Cangtian decided to have the Anti-Black Alliance transfer and lie low, which was the best choice considering the current situation.
