After nearly two hours of waiting, a man in black finally entered the bar.
He walked directly to Selatin's side and handed him a Qiankun bag.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian directly extended his hand.
Just as Selatin was about to hand over the Qiankun bag, he suddenly withdrew it.
He glanced at Ye Cangtian and said in a deep voice, "The pills are in my hand, but I need to hear your subsequent demands. What if our cooperation fails, and the pills are gone?"
During the nearly two hours, Selatin had also tried to ask Ye Cangtian for the subsequent terms.
However, Ye Cangtian always used the excuse of not having received the pills and refused to reveal a single word.
This made Selatin somewhat suspicious, so he became exceptionally cautious at this moment.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian heard this and a faint smile appeared on his face. In his opinion, since the pills were present, they wouldn't escape!
The next moment, he spoke, "During this period, the Guangming Hall has caused significant losses to Huaxia. For the sake of smoother cooperation, Huaxia can forgo compensation."
"However, as the party that instigated the chaos, the commander of Guangming Hall must die to atone for their sins!"
What!
At these words, Selatin slammed the table and stood up. The smile on his face, which had appeared when he heard the first half of the sentence, instantly froze.
He had initially thought that since both sides had suffered losses, Ye Cangtian's words were full of sincerity.
But when he reached the latter half, Selatin realized that the other party was utterly insincere!
Thinking back to how he had been stalled for nearly two hours, made to gather the pills, he realized he had been played for a fool!
For a moment, the more Selatin thought about it, the angrier he became. He suppressed his rage and said coldly, "Ye Cangtian, are you sure you didn't say the wrong thing?"
In Selatin's view, even if the other party had made Guangming Hall publicly apologize to the families of the deceased, it would have been a better condition than this.
"You heard correctly!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at him and said faintly, "There is an ancient saying in Huaxia: blood debts must be repaid with blood! If Guangming Hall wishes to cooperate with Huaxia, this price must be paid!"
Ye Cangtian paused and continued, "Selatin, you should consider how many people Guangming Hall lost at the entrance to the Hidden Group. If this continues, Guangming Hall's losses will be even greater. Is that not worth more than the life of a commander?"
You...
At these words, Selatin was instantly rendered speechless. He felt as if he had swallowed a fly, the discomfort was unbearable.
What Ye Cangtian said was not wrong; Guangming Hall had suffered heavy losses at the entrance to the Huaxia ruins. If they could exchange the commander's life for the opportunity to enter the entrance, it would be considered worthwhile!
But the problem was, that was the commander, representing the Guangming Inner Hall. If the commander died to atone for their sins, would the Guangming Inner Hall still have any face? The consequences of that would be immeasurable!
Furthermore, there was another problem: he was only a deputy commander. Did he have the right or qualification to ask the commander to sacrifice himself? Only the Guangming Inner Hall had the authority to do such a thing. But even if the Guangming Inner Hall issued such an order, would the commander sacrifice himself?
Therefore, no matter how he looked at it, it was impossible to achieve.
After a long silence, Selatin glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian and said coldly, "Ye Cangtian, I think you're deliberately looking for trouble! Do you think my Guangming Hall is easy to bully?"
As he spoke, the surrounding guards noticed Selatin's anger and immediately surrounded Ye Cangtian, waiting for his command.
"Heh heh, if you have no sincerity, just say so. Don't try to shift the blame to me; I won't accept it!"
"But you're right about one thing, I do think Guangming Hall is easy to bully!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian's eyes swept across the surroundings, his gaze filled with disdain, and he said, "You don't have this much manpower, do you?"
"You..."
At these words, Selatin trembled with anger. He now realized that Ye Cangtian had been talking to him for so long just to toy with him. And Ye Cangtian's current arrogance was truly unbearable.
"Damn it, what are you waiting for? Take him down!"
With a roar, the black-clothed men around them immediately drew their weapons and charged at Ye Cangtian.
This action immediately terrified the dancers and bartenders, who hid in a corner, their faces pale.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian's figure began to flicker, and the ice crystal dagger and skull dagger in his hands flashed in succession.
Puff, puff, puff...
In the next moment, as blood splattered around the bar counter, figures collapsed, clutching their necks.
Ye Cangtian naturally showed no mercy. He knew that every person he killed brought one step closer to peace in the capital. And the men in black in front of him were merely black-robed bishops, only possessing Xuan-level strength, so they were no match for his attacks.
Hiss!
Watching Ye Cangtian weave through the black-robed bishops like a ghost, the two men in red and Selatin couldn't help but gasp. They hadn't seen any powerful killing moves, but Ye Cangtian's speed was unprecedented, something they could not match. Because of this, their hearts were filled with tension, even a hint of fear. If they were to face Ye Cangtian, they would have no chance of winning!
"What are you two thinking! Aren't you going to attack me!"
In the next moment, Selatin roared, and then he himself turned and fled. Ye Cangtian's strength was too terrifying; he was no match for him. Perhaps only the commander could defeat this opponent.
As the words fell, the remaining two red-robed bishops gritted their teeth and charged forward. They knew Selatin's temperament well; if they disobeyed, they would surely die upon their return. Therefore, they could only brace themselves and charge forward, hoping for a slim chance of survival.
"Trying to run? Do you think that's possible?"
"If I let you run, what about my pills!"
Seeing Selatin flee in panic, Ye Cangtian sneered and said, then waved his hands, blocking the attacks of the two red-robed bishops, while his figure flickered forward.
Pills? Damn it!
On the other side, hearing the voice from behind, and realizing that Ye Cangtian had caught up in the blink of an eye, Selatin let out a scream. This speed was too terrifying. If Ye Cangtian caught up, it would undoubtedly be a death battle. Therefore, at the critical moment, Selatin made a decisive move and threw the Qiankun bag that his subordinate had just given him into the distance.
Hmph!
Seeing the Qiankun bag being thrown, Ye Cangtian snorted coldly. With a sweep of his large hand, a dagger flew out and headed towards the Qiankun bag.
Ah!
Selatin's scream echoed. The dagger had been embedded in Selatin's back. At the crucial moment, Selatin had exerted all his strength, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow. In the next moment, Selatin burst through the door and fled.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian frowned, glanced at the two red-robed bishops behind him, and his figure flickered as he rushed forward. This was, after all, a busy area with many people. Selatin had already left the bar. If he pursued him forcefully now, Selatin might fight back in desperation and harm innocent people. Therefore, Ye Cangtian chose to give up for the moment. Anyway, the other party was already injured, and immediate retaliation was impossible.
On the other side, seeing Ye Cangtian flash towards them, the two red-robed bishops' faces changed, and without a word, they turned and ran. However, their cultivation was only at the mid-stage Earth level, far inferior to Selatin's speed. Ye Cangtian flashed past and, with a single strike, finished one of them. The remaining one was killed by Ye Cangtian's sword before he could escape through the door.
"Alas!"
After dealing with these people, Ye Cangtian sighed, regretting that Selatin had escaped. In the next moment, he looked at the dancer and bartender hiding in the corner and walked over.
As Ye Cangtian approached, the dancer and bartender's faces turned even paler with fear. They didn't know who was the good person and who was the bad person. All they saw was Ye Cangtian killing several people single-handedly; he was like a mad killer.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you!"
"I am from Huaxia's security department. Please do not spread the word about what happened today."
"Someone will be here shortly to clean up the scene and will provide you with some compensation..."
Ye Cangtian said briefly, then left without lingering.
Security department?
Watching Ye Cangtian's retreating figure, the fear in the eyes of the dancer and bartender quickly disappeared, replaced by a sense of noble respect. Since the other party was from the security department, those foreigners must not be good people. However, for one person to defeat so many people, he had truly shown the pride of the Huaxia people.
