"What do you want to say!"
Yan Biao frowned, looking directly at Ye Cangtian.
Ye Cangtian had opposed this operation in the great hall, and now he had pulled himself into the carriage, even mentioning the antidote pills. It must be to discuss this matter with him.
And he was the person in charge of this operation. If anything went wrong, or if time was delayed, he would be held accountable.
Therefore, Yan Biao was exceptionally vigilant about Ye Cangtian's inquiry.
Seeing Yan Biao's expression, Ye Cangtian had already understood his attitude. He said, "As a general, if one does not consider the lives and deaths of his subordinates, then he is not worthy of being a general!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Biao's expression changed.
Although he disliked Ye Cangtian, he agreed with this statement.
So he slowly said, "Mr. Ye, I am only following orders. If you have any ideas, please state them directly!"
"Alright, then I'll speak frankly."
Ye Cangtian glanced at him and continued, "I can obtain effective antidote pills, but we must act separately. It is estimated that we will arrive at the Viper Hall two days later than you."
Hearing this, Yan Biao frowned and said, "You mean you want me to delay the attack? Impossible, I will never agree to this!"
Yan Biao's reason was simple: their large contingent would arrive first and wait for Ye Cangtian.
If, during this time, the Viper Hall people discovered them, and thus the other party was prepared or attacked proactively, it would definitely increase the casualties of the troops.
He could not bear the responsibility for this!
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian glanced at him and said indifferently, "Have you ever thought that if you go rashly, the casualties will only be higher, and you might even be annihilated!"
After a pause, Ye Cangtian continued, "Don't think that just because your cultivation is high, you can sweep aside everything. Let me tell you, in the face of the potent poisons of the Five Poisons Sect, your cultivation is not enough!"
"You..."
With just two sentences, Yan Biao's face turned red, yet he could not refute a single word.
The poisons of the Five Poisons Sect were truly terrifying. Many self-proclaimed powerful individuals had fallen into their hands.
And among these people, there were many who were stronger than Yan Biao.
On the other side, seeing Yan Biao fall silent, Ye Cangtian said, "You can wait in a relatively remote area around Viper Valley, or you can accompany us. This would also be safer."
"This..."
Yan Biao hesitated after hearing Ye Cangtian's words.
To be honest, he knew that everything Ye Cangtian said was genuinely for their own good.
He was truly tempted, as he did not want his brothers to die in vain.
But the problem was, military orders were difficult to defy!
Moreover, besides Ye Zhenghao, there were Ye Yaoyang's informants in the team, so it was difficult for any of his actions to escape the other party's eyes.
If the other party discovered it, would they let him off?
Seeing Yan Biao still hesitant, Ye Cangtian looked at Ye Zhenghao and said, "Brother Zhenghao, I will only ask you this: for the lives of everyone in the team, is it worth trading for two days?"
"Worth it!"
Ye Zhenghao had heard everything Ye Cangtian and Yan Biao had said, so when the other party asked, he answered directly without hesitation.
Ye Cangtian's expression softened considerably upon hearing this, and he continued, "Then, as the future院长 of the Blazing Fire Academy, how should you make your decision!"
"Wait for you to return, and then take action."
As he spoke, Ye Zhenghao looked at Yan Biao and continued, "Don't worry about anything. Just do it boldly. I will take responsibility for anything that happens!"
Ye Zhenghao knew that this was the result that Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue wanted to see, and at the same time, he genuinely agreed with Ye Cangtian's proposal.
Therefore, he directly persuaded Yan Biao.
As expected, after Ye Zhenghao finished speaking, Dongfang Mingyue and Ye Cangtian's expressions softened, showing obvious signs of admiration.
Being decisive and able to adjust unreasonable orders, just this point qualified Ye Zhenghao as the future院长 of the Blazing Fire Academy.
"Alright, then I will wait for your return!"
Seeing that Ye Zhenghao had said so, Yan Biao finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Good, then it's settled. Mingyue sister and I will leave now!"
Ye Cangtian, seeing that Yan Biao had agreed, quickly said, and then suddenly remembered something.
He hesitated for a moment, then looked at him and continued, "I suggest you travel by night and rest by day, and slow down your marching speed. Just stall for time..."
Hmm?
Yan Biao glanced at Ye Cangtian, his eyes turning.
He had originally decided to hide in a secret location near Viper Valley, but now, hearing Ye Cangtian's suggestion, he thought it was a good idea.
Near Viper Valley, there was always a risk of exposure.
Traveling by night and resting by day would conceal their tracks and stall for sufficient time. If his superiors found out, he would have an explanation.
So he nodded, accepting the suggestion.
"That..."
At this moment, Ye Zhenghao, who was beside them, looked at Ye Cangtian hesitantly and said, "Can I go with you? You know, my mission is..."
Hmph!
Before Ye Zhenghao could finish, Dongfang Mingyue let out a cold snort and said grimly, "What? Are you more capable of protecting than a Heavenly realm expert? Or do you want to pry into the secrets of my Hidden Organization?"
"I..."
This sentence made Ye Zhenghao feel awkward. He just wanted to have more contact with Dongfang Mingyue.
But now that Dongfang Mingyue had said this, he was truly unable to argue.
In terms of strength, he was naturally inferior to Ye Cangtian, and Dongfang Mingyue had elevated the matter to the level of the Hidden Organization's secrets. Thus, he had no reason to press the issue.
Thinking this, he had no choice but to say sheepishly, "Alright, I'll go with the team. You need to hurry. There are Father's people in the team. If Father finds out about this, we might not be able to delay for much longer."
"Don't worry, we'll be back as soon as possible!"
Ye Cangtian replied, and then asked for two fine warhorses and galloped towards the direction of Wu City.
...
Wu City.
The journey was smooth, and Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue finally returned to the Hidden Organization's branch in Wu City.
The two immediately found Dugu Ling and Dugu Changfeng.
When they saw Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue return, they were overjoyed and immediately planned a banquet to welcome them.
"Seniors, we have important matters to attend to upon our return, and we will be leaving soon."
Ye Cangtian declined Dugu Changfeng's kind offer and looked at Dugu Ling, asking, "Ling'er, have the people from Yulong Villa arrived?"
Mentioning Yulong Villa, Dugu Ling nodded repeatedly and said, "They have arrived. I have found a quiet place for them within the city to stay and cultivate!"
"Good, I want to see them." Ye Cangtian said.
"Alright, I'll take you there now."
Dugu Ling did not delay and directly agreed, then led Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue to the southern area of Wu City.
That area was sparsely populated and was once the training ground for the Wu City Hidden Organization guards. It was now the most suitable place to house the people from Yulong Villa.
Soon, Ye Cangtian and the others arrived at the training ground.
The moment they entered, cold gazes shot towards them, followed by the approach of burly figures.
"Miss Ling'er, our leader should have told you that outsiders are not welcome here. This is very likely to reveal our whereabouts and intentions..."
Hearing the grim voice of the captain, Dugu Ling was stunned. She looked at Ye Cangtian beside her, her mouth twitching.
Wasn't Ye Cangtian the Villa Master of Yulong Villa?
Why did the people of Yulong Villa not recognize him?
But she had clearly brought the people from Yulong Villa to Wu City according to Ye Cangtian's instructions. What was going on?
Seeing all this, Dugu Ling was completely bewildered and didn't know how to answer.
"Brat, what's going on?" Dongfang Mingyue, feeling the cold gazes of the other party, also felt something was wrong and asked in a low voice.
Heh heh.
Ye Cangtian showed a bitter smile.
When he was at Yulong Villa, he had not only disguised himself but also appeared as the God of Death. And now, his true appearance and identity were known to only a few people at Yulong Villa.
Therefore, it was normal for them not to recognize him.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian looked at the other party and said, "Are your leaders Yuan Hao, Yun Yi, Zuo Bai, Ding Xu, or Hong Liu? Have him come to see me!"
