The night.
In a civilian house in another corner of Swift Wind City.
Hun Ba and Hun Jiu ate meat and drank wine heartily, feeling extremely unrestrained.
After a short while, a subordinate walked in and respectfully bowed to the two of them.
"Your Excellencies, our people just received news that Wang Ying has left Ye Zheng’s inn! He seemed very angry, so something unpleasant must have happened!"
"Furthermore, according to the subordinates' investigation, Ye Cangtian and Yi Feipeng are not with Ye Zheng!"
"Only Yin Long and A Kun are with Ye Zheng. As for their backgrounds, the subordinates have been ordered to investigate and will clarify as soon as possible..."
Yin Long and A Kun?
Hun Jiu frowned, Ye Zheng had traveled with Ye Cangtian and Yi Feipeng from Yin Zu to Jinling City, and had not brought anyone else!
How was it that after leaving Jinling City and arriving at Swift Wind Tower, Ye Cangtian and the other two disappeared, and were replaced by Yin Long and A Kun?
Thinking this, he looked at Hun Ba with confusion, wanting to see his opinion.
Sensing Hun Jiu's gaze, Hun Ba smiled slightly and said, "Don't you understand yet?"
Hun Jiu shook his head in confusion.
Seeing this, Hun Ba glanced at the equally confused subordinate and said, "No need to investigate, you all go down and wait for orders."
After the subordinate left the room, Hun Ba looked at Hun Jiu and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Yin Long and A Kun must be Ye Cangtian and Yi Feipeng in disguise."
Ah?
Hun Jiu was stunned on the spot, somewhat disbelieving, "How can you be so sure!"
Hun Ba smiled slightly and said, "Think about it, the Blazing Fire Court asked Ye Zheng to follow Ye Cangtian, would Ye Cangtian dare to let Ye Zheng get into trouble?"
Hmm?
As he said this, Hun Jiu's eyes began to spin.
If Ye Zheng were to have an accident while being brought by Ye Cangtian, the Blazing Fire Court could easily fall out with Yin Zu, or even start a war.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian would bring Ye Zheng everywhere he went.
In addition, when they were in Dragon City, Ye Cangtian had a previous conflict with Wan Mingxuan.
Now that they had come to Swift Wind City, which was the opponent's territory, to prevent retaliation, disguise was also a form of preparation.
Thinking of this, Hun Jiu looked at Hun Ba and asked confusedly, "There's one last question, Swift Wind Tower is Yi Feipeng's home, why would Yi Feipeng also disguise himself?"
"I can't explain this fully, but I have a guess!"
Hun Ba looked at Hun Jiu and continued, "It is said that Wan Mingxuan's status in Swift Wind Tower was only in the upper-middle level, not particularly high. But after he returned this time, he almost controlled Swift Wind Tower..."
One must know that Wan Mingxuan had failed his mission, but as a result, he was promoted and heavily relied upon, which was obviously not normal.
Therefore, in Hun Ba's opinion, Yi Feipeng's disguise was likely related to this, and perhaps a storm was brewing within Swift Wind Tower!
Hearing this, Hun Jiu seemed to have a sudden enlightenment and finally understood.
After a moment of silence, he looked at Hun Ba and continued, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend, do you think we should join forces with Wan Mingxuan to expose Ye Cangtian and the two of them, and deal with them together?"
"Hmph!"
Hun Ba heard this and glared at him, snorting, "No, at least not for now! Don't forget the plan we made earlier!"
In Hun Ba's view, they were currently in the shadows and had an absolute advantage.
But if they joined forces with Wan Mingxuan, it would be equivalent to moving from the shadows into the light, and it would be much riskier to make a move later.
Moreover, Wan Mingxuan, with the Tower Master and the Third Tower Master present, could almost control Swift Wind Tower, which indicated that he must have his trump cards and means.
Such a person, if cooperated with, would likely be schemed against and used as cannon fodder, which must be guarded against.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, this option should not be chosen.
Hearing this, Hun Jiu gritted his teeth and then said, "Alright, I'll listen to you this time. What do we do next?"
Hearing this, Hun Ba revealed a mischievous smile and said, "Don't we have a ready opportunity? What do you think would happen if we killed Wang Ying?"
Hmm?
Upon hearing this, Hun Jiu's eyes immediately began to spin. After a short while, his eyes brightened, and a sinister look appeared on his face.
...
Late at night.
A large portion of the lights in Swift Wind City had been extinguished, and there were only a few rooms lit in the inn.
Ye Cangtian sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating and cultivating his spiritual power.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly, and a cold glint shot in from outside the window.
It was a dagger, which accurately pierced the wall. Below the dagger, a small piece of paper was attached.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian took down the note. It only had a few words written on it: 'If you have the guts, come to the plaza on the west side of Swift Wind City.'
Who is this?
Ye Cangtian looked at the unfamiliar handwriting and was confused.
Speaking of which, since arriving in Swift Wind City, the people he had offended were only the Third Tower Master and Wu Haodong. Could it be them?
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian sneered. He didn't want to cause trouble, but since the other party was so narrow-minded, he couldn't blame him.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian quietly left the room.
As soon as he reached the hall, Ye Cangtian saw Yi Feipeng coming out of his room.
It wasn't that Yi Feipeng was monitoring him, but rather that the dagger just now could not escape the perception of a Heavenly realm expert.
"Where are you going?"
Ye Cangtian held the dagger and waved it in front of the other person, saying, "Someone wants to invite me, I'm going to meet them!"
"I'll go with you!"
Yi Feipeng did not ask further and directly said, not for any other reason, but if he accompanied the other party, even if the Third Tower Master wanted to retaliate, he could at least protect Ye Cangtian's safety.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and came to his side, saying, "Don't worry, I won't kill innocent people unless they push me too far!"
"Uh..."
Looking at Ye Cangtian's retreating back, Yi Feipeng's mouth twitched.
He was worried about Ye Cangtian's safety, not the safety of the Swift Wind Tower disciples!
He also didn't know where Ye Cangtian's confidence came from, daring to act like this on Swift Wind Tower's territory...
Thinking this, Yi Feipeng sighed and then returned to his room.
Speaking of which, with Ye Cangtian's cultivation, even if he was not an equal match, he could at least preserve his life.
So if he really suffered any losses, he would just help him get it back later!
...
West of Swift Wind City.
Ye Cangtian arrived at the plaza in the western district. The twelve pillars made of fluorescent stones around the plaza emitted a soft glow at night.
At the center of the plaza, a figure stood. The figure had his back to Ye Cangtian, but Ye Cangtian recognized his identity at a glance.
He was none other than Wu Haodong, whom he had met during the day.
"Do you know why I asked you to come here?"
As soon as Ye Cangtian arrived not far behind him, before he could speak, Wu Haodong turned around and glared at him fiercely.
"Heh, my time is limited, I don't have time to think about so much."
"If you want to say it, say it. If not, forget it."
Ye Cangtian glanced at him and said with a cold smile.
