Chapter 1642 Not Recognizing Oneself

"You..."

A single sentence made the Captain freeze. These five people were all leaders of the Yulong Villa.

Most importantly, these five were recently promoted by the new Villa Master, the God of Death, and the outside world knew virtually nothing about them!

Yet, the other party could name all five at once. This was simply incredible!

Thinking of this, the Captain's gaze turned grim. He said coldly, "Who exactly are you? Why do you know so much about the affairs of Yulong Villa? Have you planted spies within Yulong Villa?"

"I am Ye Cangtian of the Hidden Group. This is Dongfang Mingyue of the Hidden Group. Don't you even recognize us? What kind of captain are you!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian was almost furious to death.

It was understandable that the other party didn't recognize him as the God of Death.

But his and Dongfang Mingyue's portraits had long been circulated throughout the ruins. If he still didn't recognize them, then speaking bluntly, he was blind!

"Dongfang Mingyue and Ye Cangtian?"

The Captain looked at the two of them and muttered to himself. They did seem a bit alike.

The next moment, as if remembering something, his face instantly turned cold, "So, your Hidden Group has planted spies in Yulong Villa. What are your intentions?"

"..."

Ye Cangtian was almost coughed up blood by this remark. He felt that he could not communicate with the Captain in front of him.

So, he gritted his teeth and said, "Have your leaders come out to see me!"

"Hmph, who do you think you are! You think you can just see our leaders whenever you want!"

The Captain snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves, and appeared ready to fight.

This was truly embarrassing!

One of his own subordinates was about to attack him, and in front of Dongfang Mingyue at that. Wouldn't that be a laughingstock?

Ye Cangtian was extremely dejected. He had no choice but to look at Duguling beside him and whisper, "Ling'er, who is your leader?"

Pfft!

Duguling almost spat out blood. Wasn't the operation here personally arranged by Ye Cangtian? Why did he not even know the leader's name.

Thinking about it, Duguling still whispered, "It's Brother Zuo Bai."

Hearing the name Zuo Bai, Ye Cangtian didn't hesitate. He directly infused his voice with a surge of spiritual energy, "Zuo Bai, come out!"

"Who is making such a racket!"

As the voice faded, a white figure slowly walked out of the room.

As he appeared, the doors of the surrounding rooms instantly opened, and figures darted out.

"This..."

Zuo Bai had come with great momentum, but upon seeing Ye Cangtian, cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

This was the first time he had seen Ye Cangtian's face, but he had known before that the God of Death was Ye Cangtian, and he was inevitably nervous.

After all, his attitude had not been very good, and he was afraid that Ye Cangtian would blame him.

Thinking this, Zuo Bai was about to kneel on one knee, but at that moment, he felt the other party's constantly flickering gaze.

In an instant, Zuo Bai understood something. The other party did not want to expose his identity.

Thinking of this, he quickly cupped his hands in a salute and said, "I am Zuo Bai, a leader of Yulong Villa. Greetings, Mr. Ye! Please come inside to talk, Mr. Ye!"

Seeing Zuo Bai's cooperation, Ye Cangtian was somewhat satisfied. However, when he glanced at the Captain before him, his expression darkened again.

"Zuo Bai, the God of Death told me to fully restore the relationship between the Hidden Group and Yulong Villa. But this Captain's attitude towards me is not good."

"He even suspects that I have planted spies in the Villa and speculates about my intentions for the Villa. This doesn't seem very good, does it?"

This idiot!

The other party was the Villa Master, and he still needed to plant spies?

When Zuo Bai heard Ye Cangtian's words, he grumbled indignantly in his heart.

But on the surface, he still smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, everything is a misunderstanding. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer later, and I will discipline them properly in the future!"

"Hmph, that's for the best. Remember, the Hidden Group and Yulong Villa are always the closest allies. Never suspect each other!"

As he spoke, Ye Cangtian, with Dongfang Mingyue and Duguling, walked towards the room.

"My Lord Leader..."

Watching Ye Cangtian swagger into the room, the Captain beside him quickly went up to Zuo Bai, wanting to ask something.

After all, he had seen Zuo Bai's respect for Ye Cangtian and was extremely curious.

However, before he could say anything, Zuo Bai kicked him fiercely, sending him flying.

"Damn it, you almost killed me!"

Zuo Bai angrily stepped forward and said furiously, "Get back to your room immediately and copy the rules set by the God of Death ten thousand times, word for word! If you're one word short, I'll skin you alive!"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Seeing Zuo Bai's angry expression, the Captain dared not say anything more! Without a word, he scurried back to his room.

On the other side, Zuo Bai glanced at Ye Cangtian's back. Seeing that the other party did not stop, he quickly trotted to catch up.

Closing the door, Zuo Bai quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Ye, I wonder if you are satisfied with the punishment just now..."

"Forget it!"

Before Zuo Bai could finish, Ye Cangtian waved his hand. It was just a misunderstanding, and there was no need to dwell on it.

Moreover, he was quite satisfied with Zuo Bai's handling of the matter. This would allow the other party to remember the rules he had set, which was not bad.

Thinking this, he said, "Zuo Bai, I am here on business this time and will be leaving soon."

"Hmm? Mr. Ye, please speak. If you have any orders, Zuo Bai will obey them without fail." Zuo Bai quickly stepped forward.

Seeing this, Ye Cangtian was not polite and spoke directly, "How many antidotes do you have with you in total?"

Hmm?

When Zuo Bai heard this, he was stunned and began to calculate.

Preparing antidotes was naturally to deal with the Five Poisons Sect. Now that Ye Cangtian was asking about this, did he intend to lead them personally?

If that were the case, it would be great.

Thinking this, Zuo Bai quickly said, "We have a total of 200 people here, and each person carries four antidotes."

What?

Ye Cangtian's eyes widened. Four antidotes per person meant 800 pills. These pills far exceeded what Yao Bao'er had refined before.

Thinking this, he looked at the other party and asked, "How are there so many antidotes?"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Bai respectfully replied, "Miss Bao'er knew that our mission this time was extremely dangerous, so she specifically refined some more and distributed them to our five squads."

This Bao'er is really risking her life!

Hearing the other party's words, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but feel a pang of concern.

Although Yao Bao'er's alchemy skills were superb, refining so many pills was probably very difficult.

Thinking this, Ye Cangtian looked at Zuo Bai and said, "Zuo Bai, go and collect 200 antidotes for me. I need to take them."

Ah?

When Zuo Bai heard this, he was stunned, and then quickly said, "Mr. Ye, are you sure you only want the pills and don't need us to go?"

Zuo Bai was truly bewildered. He could tell that the other party was going to deal with the Five Poisons Sect, but that was the mission assigned to them! They should be brought along.

Thinking this, Zuo Bai glanced at Duguling beside him, as if understanding something, and said, "Mr. Ye, you're not going with people from the Hidden Group, are you? Then wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"

Zuo Bai stated that since the team was formed, the brothers had cultivated diligently.

They had only one belief in their hearts, which was to showcase the might of Yulong Villa and let the world witness the elegance of Yulong Villa!

But if Ye Cangtian assigned this mission to someone else, the brothers would be very disappointed, feeling that all their efforts were in vain, and they would not agree...

"Now is not the time for you to act, so you must lie low and continue to cultivate diligently!"

"My requirement is simple. If we don't act, fine. But if we do, we must win!"

"Also, tell the brothers not to be discouraged. Sooner or later, there will be a time for them to shine!"

Ye Cangtian said this faintly.

This time, dealing with the Viper Hall was an action by the Blazing Fire Academy.

If that were the case, he didn't want Yulong Villa to be involved. Otherwise, the Blazing Fire Academy would surely suspect his relationship with Yulong Villa.

And the Blazing Fire Academy currently had too many uncertain factors, making it difficult to determine whether they were friend or foe. Therefore, he still had to keep some trump cards against the Blazing Fire Academy.
