"Heh heh."
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly, but killing intent flared in his eyes.
He had completely guessed the other party's intention. Yao Bao'er, with her superb medical skills, was the biggest threat to the Five Poisons Sect.
Therefore, the Five Poisons Sect wanted to control or directly eliminate Yao Bao'er.
This had crossed Ye Cangtian's bottom line. Coupled with the Five Poisons Sect's demand for Tianhan Pass, it made his anger boil over.
Feeling the almost tangible killing aura emanating from the God of Death, Zi Chan's body trembled.
He quickly spoke, "Sect Master Death God, you must remain calm. It doesn't matter if I die here, but if I die, not only will the Hidden Group suffer, but everyone in Tianhan Pass will be poisoned to death!"
"You seem to have the wrong person if you want to threaten me!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the other party, and as his icy voice left his mouth, a golden great ringed saber appeared in his hand.
He had already shown his attitude with his actions.
"Sect Master Death God, can you bear to watch innocent people suffer a tragic death?"
"Besides, trading one person for the lives of everyone is not a bad deal!"
Seeing the gleaming golden great ringed saber, Zi Chan spoke quickly, genuinely anxious.
Didn't the Imperial Dragon Villa claim to be righteous?
Why were they standing by and watching innocent people get caught up without moving?
"If I were to take your life and the lives of your entire family in exchange for the lives of everyone in the Five Poisons Sect, would you agree?"
Ye Cangtian looked at him coldly and continued, "Furthermore, the Five Poisons Sect intends to lay their hands on Tianhan Pass. Do you think I would agree to your terms?"
"You..."
With just two sentences, Zi Chan's face turned red.
He looked at Ye Cangtian in anger and said, "Death God, I originally gave Tianhan Pass a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Remember all the consequences of this. You have to take at least half the responsibility!"
Saying that, Zi Chan got up and walked towards the door.
Since the other party did not agree to his terms, there was no point in him staying. He might as well go back and prepare for action.
He refused to believe that if he truly controlled everyone in the city, the Death God would still have the nerve to talk to him like this!
"Hmph!"
Ye Cangtian snorted coldly. He looked at Zi Chan and said slowly, "Normally, we don't kill envoys during wartime. But you are too dangerous. Do you think I would let you leave?"
"What do you mean?"
Zi Chan's body trembled, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. If the other party really disregarded everything, then it would be difficult for him to get out of here today.
Thinking of this, he lowered his voice and continued, "Death God, you must understand that if I die here, those people from the Hidden Group will not be saved, and the people from the Five Poisons Sect will attack immediately!"
"Heh heh, is there a difference?"
Ye Cangtian sneered at him and said, "If you go back, you will also organize the Five Poisons Sect to launch an attack. In that case, why should I let you go!"
He paused and continued, "Besides, if you are eliminated, the Five Poisons Sect will be leaderless. How much combat power will they have then?"
"You are mistaken!"
Hearing this, Zi Chan quickly interrupted Ye Cangtian and said fiercely, "If it were before, your words would be correct. But it's very coincidental that Elder Red Scorpion's action against the Imperial Dragon Villa failed and has already arrived here..."
At this point, Zi Chan realized that he might have said too much. If he hadn't mentioned this matter and kept Red Scorpion hidden in the dark, the outcome might have been better.
But now that it had been said, there was nothing to salvage.
"Mm?"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian's eyes flickered, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
So, the people from the Five Poisons Sect who attacked the Imperial Dragon Villa had already arrived here. It seemed they had followed him.
But then again, if they followed him here, then the Imperial Dragon Villa would be safe instead.
Thinking to himself, Ye Cangtian looked at the other party, smiled faintly, and said, "Zi Chan, since the Five Poisons Sect still has an elder, it's unnecessary for you to go back. Why don't you just stay here!"
"I..."
Seeing Ye Cangtian walk step by step around the table, Zi Chan's heart was in his throat.
The other party's demeanor was not something that could be faked. The other party truly intended to kill him!
Damn it, how could he have encountered such a reckless fool!
Thinking this, Zi Chan quickly said, "Death God, let's make a deal?"
"What deal?" Ye Cangtian asked, looking at him curiously.
Feeling the other party's gaze, Zi Chan gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you the antidote to the poison, but you must let me go."
Since it was a deal, it must be something that would attract the Death God, and he could only think of the antidote.
Although he was extremely unwilling to hand over the antidote, he had no choice. He wanted to live, and for this purpose, he could pay any price.
However, after he said all this, he found a strange smile on the other party's face. This immediately made his body tremble, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Zi Chan, your idea is good, but I want to ask you, if I kill you, do you think I won't be able to get the antidote?"
Ye Cangtian said with a smile. He believed that the other party must have the antidote on him.
Even if these antidotes were mixed with the poisons, with Yao Bao'er by his side, he could easily distinguish the antidotes.
"This..."
Upon hearing this, cold sweat immediately broke out on Zi Chan's forehead. If the other party really killed him to seize the antidote, he would have no recourse.
After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Death God, be direct. What exactly will it take for you to let me go!"
"Simple."
Ye Cangtian revealed a sinister smile and continued, "Hand over the Qiankun Bag you are carrying, and tell me the whereabouts of the personnel involved in this operation, and I can spare your life!"
Zi Chan heard this and immediately hesitated.
He wanted to live, but the price was too high. Moreover, if the Five Poisons Sect found out about this, he would surely suffer the torment of the Oath of Ten Thousand Poisons and die a horrible death!
Thinking this, he looked at the other party and said, "Apart from this condition, I will agree to anything else!"
Hmph!
Ye Cangtian snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Do you have the right to haggle with me?"
As he spoke, violent spiritual energy erupted around Ye Cangtian.
The meaning was very clear: if he didn't get the answer he wanted, he would act immediately.
Feeling the other party's violent aura, Zi Chan's heart sank to the bottom.
After a long period of hesitation, he finally said, "It's impossible for me to reveal their whereabouts. How about this, I will designate someone, and as long as you follow him, you will surely find the hiding place of the Five Poisons Sect."
Ye Cangtian understood what the other party meant.
The other party simply wanted to clear his name, so that when he returned to the Five Poisons Sect, it wouldn't be his fault, and he wouldn't be punished.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "Alright, but you must hand over the antidote and the Qiankun Bag first."
Zi Chan dared not say anything more. He directly handed over both the antidote and the Qiankun Bag, then, without a second word, he was about to flash away.
Bang!
At this moment, Ye Cangtian flashed and appeared directly in front of him, knocking him to the ground with a punch.
Pfft!
Zi Chan spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Ye Cangtian in confusion, his face growing increasingly angry.
Both sides had already reached an agreement, so why did the other party still attack him? Was he going back on his word?
Before Zi Chan could say anything, Ye Cangtian's spiritual power entered his mind again.
"This will make it more realistic."
"Also, I want to tell you that I have placed a curse mark on you. If you dare to do evil again in the future, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I can easily destroy you!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the other party. He could let the other party go, but he definitely had to add a restraint to him.
This curse mark was an upgraded version of the soul imprint, but it was more vicious than the soul imprint.
Simply put, it was like forcibly implanting a remote-controlled bomb in the soul, which he could detonate at any time if he wished.
Of course, this curse mark also had a drawback: if the person cast upon had a higher soul cultivation than the caster, they could break free from the curse mark's shackles.
However, Ye Cangtian was not worried about these things. After all, Zi Chan was a member of the Five Poisons Sect and did not cultivate spiritual power, so he could not remove his restraint.
"You..."
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Zi Chan felt like spitting blood.
He had originally come here today to threaten the Hidden Group, but instead, he was threatened and had to hand over the antidote, betraying the Five Poisons Sect.
He found these difficult to accept, but he never expected that it was not over yet.
The God of Death had even placed a curse mark on him, making it difficult for him to have rebellious thoughts in the future.
But since things had come to this, there was nothing he could say that would help, so he could only accept everything.
