"Why did you keep me until now?"
Du Chuan remained silent for a long time before finally asking.
The other party had already proven his betrayal, yet had not eliminated him immediately, which surprised him greatly.
After all, with the identity of a God of Death, if there was conclusive evidence, the Yin Zu would not have said anything even if he had been directly executed.
Ye Cangtian looked at him and said, "For the sake of you being a member of the Yin Zu, I can give you a chance to turn over a new leaf. Besides, you are not alone; many Yin Zu guards are following you!"
He paused, his expression becoming solemn. "I hope you can lead those guards who have gone astray to turn over a new leaf with you!"
"Turn over a new leaf? Do you think there's any possibility for me to do so?"
Du Chuan gave a self-deprecating laugh and continued, "Even if you keep silent, this news will reach headquarters, and they will still act to eliminate me!"
"As long as you sincerely repent, I believe the Yin Zu headquarters will give you a chance!"
Ye Cangtian looked at him and continued, "Besides, I will also intercede for you."
"It's useless."
Du Chuan slowly shook his head. "Perhaps with your intercession, I might be spared, but my future will be over. I will live a mediocre life for the rest of my days, and I will have to endure the ridicule of others!"
"Do you have so little faith in the Yin Zu?" Ye Cangtian frowned.
"You are not from the Yin Zu; how much can you understand?"
Du Chuan looked at Ye Cangtian and after a moment of silence, said, "Do you know of Ye Cangtian of the Yin Zu? That is a ruthless man who cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes. Once rebellion is discovered, he will suppress it with all his might..."
Although Du Chuan had never met Ye Cangtian, he had heard some rumors and knew about his methods.
Therefore, he had some guesses about his predicament. Even if Ye Cangtian spared his life, he would have no future.
Moreover, besides Ye Cangtian, there was also Dongfang Mingyue. If Dongfang Mingyue knew about this, his situation would likely be even more miserable...
Heh heh.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian's face showed a helpless smile. The spread of rumors had turned him into what a state.
Thinking this, he looked at the other party and said calmly, "Du Chuan, I have met Ye Cangtian. He is not as you say. As long as you turn over a new leaf, I guarantee he will let bygones be bygones!"
"Hmph! Do you think I would believe you?"
Du Chuan snorted coldly and continued, "Let me tell you, unless Ye Cangtian personally says it to me here today, I will never turn back!"
As he spoke, Du Chuan drew two long swords and threw one to the God of Death.
The next moment, he said, "This sword was given to me by you. I'm returning it to you today. As for the elixirs, let's forget it. I guess you don't lack such things!"
Du Chuan left the Jiutian Xuming Dan and the Wudao Dan behind.
The Jiutian Xuming Dan possessed powerful healing abilities, which might be useful if he managed to escape.
Since the other party had discovered his secret, he would not be able to stay in the Yin Zu in the future and would have to start over. It would be a good opportunity to use the Wudao Dan to recruit some talents.
"Alas!"
Just as Du Chuan was making his calculations, Ye Cangtian sighed and slowly said, "If it weren't for those Yin Zu brothers, I wouldn't have let you off today!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian brushed his hand across his cheek, revealing his true appearance.
Uh...
Seeing the familiar face before him, Du Chuan's eyes widened.
Who could have imagined that the renowned and formidable master of Yulong Mountain Villa had transformed into Ye Cangtian of the Yin Zu.
Du Chuan found it difficult to accept all of this.
Hmph!
Seeing Du Chuan in a daze, Ye Cangtian snorted lightly and said calmly, "Now I say, as long as you turn over a new leaf, I will let bygones be bygones. Do you believe me now?"
"I believe, I believe..."
Du Chuan stammered his reply, then his legs gave way, and he directly knelt on the ground.
If it were the God of Death, he would certainly not have behaved this way. With a single command, his guards would undoubtedly have attacked without hesitation, creating a chance for him to escape.
But now, before him was Ye Cangtian.
In the hearts of the Yin Zu guards, Ye Cangtian was like a god. Even if some of his brothers were loyal to him, they would find it difficult to act against Ye Cangtian.
It could be said that upon seeing Ye Cangtian's face, he knew that he had no chance of winning today.
However, the other party's promise of letting bygones be bygones also earned his respect, which was why he knelt down.
"Very good."
Seeing him kneeling before him, Ye Cangtian's face showed a satisfied smile.
He said, "In life, it's inevitable to make mistakes. Mistakes can be forgiven, but if you repeat them, it becomes very dangerous..."
"Your subordinate understands!"
"Your subordinate will definitely not fail Master Ye's kindness in remolding me. I will surely reform myself and never betray the Yin Zu!"
Du Chuan immediately understood Ye Cangtian's intention and quickly said.
"Yes, very good."
"I hope you will keep my identity a secret!"
Ye Cangtian nodded with satisfaction and then changed the subject, saying, "Now, tell me, why did you betray the Yin Zu and join the Five Poisons Sect before?"
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's question, Du Chuan explained without hesitation.
During a previous attack by the Five Poisons Sect on the Yin Zu, he had led the Yin Zu brothers to escape Jilong City as usual, choosing to avoid the enemy's sharp edge and preserve their strength.
However, unexpectedly, the Five Poisons Sect had set up an ambush outside the city and surrounded him and the Yin Zu brothers.
In the end, after a fierce battle, the Yin Zu was no match, and he was captured along with his brothers.
Afterward, the people of the Five Poisons Sect did not kill them but demanded that they join the Five Poisons Sect.
Initially, Du Chuan refused, but the Five Poisons Sect threatened the lives of all the guards, forcing him to accept everything.
And after he defected, the Five Poisons Sect did not fully trust him and still held some Yin Zu guards captive.
It wasn't until he repeatedly opened doors for the Five Poisons Sect that they believed they had enough evidence against him and released those guards.
At the same time, he also knew that he could not turn back and followed the Five Poisons Sect to the bitter end...
After listening to Du Chuan's account, Ye Cangtian's expression remained unchanged. He looked at the other party and said, "Since you have confessed, all previous matters are written off.
Although you are exempt from punishment, I hope you will perform outstandingly in your actions within the Five Poisons Sect!"
"Your subordinate will not disappoint you!"
Du Chuan quickly replied. Now that the other party had given him a chance to start anew, he would naturally seize it.
The next moment, he took out the Jiutian Xuming Dan and the Wudao Dan and handed them over obediently.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian said, "The operation to eliminate the Five Poisons Sect is very dangerous. You should keep them for yourself..."
Upon hearing this, Du Chuan thanked him repeatedly. Ye Cangtian's willingness to keep the elixirs for him showed that he was not someone who would seek revenge, which made Du Chuan feel even more at ease.
Thinking this, he quickly said, "Lord Ye, the Poison Heart has just escaped. I am worried that the Yin Zu brothers cannot stop him!"
"It's alright."
Ye Cangtian shook his head and said, "He can run away from the monk, but not from the temple!"
Du Chuan immediately understood Ye Cangtian's meaning. The Poison Heart would at most return to the headquarters of the Five Poisons Sect.
And afterward, Ye Cangtian would take action against the Five Poisons Sect headquarters, at which point dealing with the Poison Heart would be possible.
Thinking this, he looked at Ye Cangtian and then asked, "Lord Ye, when will we take action against the Five Poisons Sect?"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian fell silent for a moment before saying, "There is still a problem that has not been resolved, and that is the Five Poisons Sect's informants in Jilong City..."
Ye Cangtian stated that once they started their operation, these informants would immediately transmit the news back.
At that time, the Five Poisons Sect would be prepared, or they might simply relocate.
If that were the case, it would be difficult to annihilate the Five Poisons Sect headquarters in one fell swoop.
"I can help you with that."
Upon hearing this, Du Chuan's heart immediately became excited, and he quickly said.
He was worried about not having an opportunity to contribute.
Hm?
Ye Cangtian looked at him doubtfully and then asked, "What method do you have? Tell me!"
Du Chuan did not conceal anything and directly said, "My lord, you may not know, but the informants of the Five Poisons Sect in Jilong City are divided into two parts.
One part consists of people from the Five Poisons Sect, and the other part consists of people from our Yin Zu. They cooperate to form the intelligence network!"
Du Chuan stated that in order to obtain intelligence as soon as possible, the informants from both sides had contact from time to time.
Therefore, eliminating the enemy's informants was not a difficult task for him!
