The other side of the mountain forest.
The snake swarm was easily annihilated by the four of them.
The four were all very busy at the moment, busy collecting the corpses of the venomous snakes.
These venomous snakes all had a certain level of cultivation, and some were even at the level of demonic beasts. It could be said that their entire bodies were treasures, and they could not afford to waste them.
After a short while, Ye Zhenghao handed the materials collected from the snake swarm to Dongfang Mingyue.
"The Blazing Fire Institute does not lack these, and the Hidden Group is still developing. Take these."
Ye Zhenghao truly missed no opportunity to show off. He had heard Ye Cangtian say that Dongfang Mingyue's grand aspiration was to lead the Hidden Group to become strong and return to its peak.
Now, these materials could improve their strength and were not lacking in the Blazing Fire Institute, so he decided to offer them all to Dongfang Mingyue to gain some favor.
"Thank you for your kindness, but these materials are enough."
"Besides, the snake swarm was eliminated by the four of us, and the benefits should be shared equally between both parties. We cannot take advantage for nothing."
Dongfang Mingyue looked at the Qiankun bag handed over by the other party and shook her head, refusing.
To put it bluntly, she still had reservations about Ye Zhenghao, so she could not accept such a favor.
Moreover, what the other party said was not pleasant. How could the Blazing Fire Institute not lack these?
Was this a form of charity?
Seeing Dongfang Mingyue decisively refuse his kindness, Ye Zhenghao's gaze naturally turned to Ye Cangtian beside him, casting a look of seeking help.
Sensing Ye Zhenghao's gaze, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly.
Since the other party wanted to show off, he naturally had to give him the opportunity. It was not a great favor anyway.
Thinking of this, he looked at Dongfang Mingyue and said, "Sister Mingyue, Brother Zhenghao is also well-intentioned. Why refuse him so bluntly?"
What is this brat saying?
Doesn't he know that accepting favors makes things difficult?
Or has he already figured out the other party's intentions?
Murmuring in her heart, Dongfang Mingyue glanced at Ye Zhenghao before accepting the Qiankun bag and said, "Then I will thank you on behalf of the Hidden Group for your kindness..."
...
Returning to the Blazing Fire Institute.
Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue returned to their respective rooms.
Not long after, Yan Shenghui, along with Yan Biao, arrived at the sleeping quarters.
"Girl, I heard you were attacked?"
Yan Shenghui's face was extremely gloomy. Ever since the other party arrived, his heart had been filled with anxiety, always feeling that something bad would happen.
If something were to happen to Dongfang Mingyue, how could he explain to Dongfang Hongwu!
As it turned out, on their first outing, they encountered a beast attack. It seemed someone had been targeting them.
Dongfang Mingyue nodded and said, "Uncle Shenghui, it's fine. It was just some demonic beasts, they couldn't hurt us, and besides, Ye Cangtian was with us!"
Yan Shenghui glanced at Ye Cangtian upon hearing this and then said, "Bringing him with you this time was the most correct decision."
After all, Ye Cangtian was a Heaven-tier expert, the ceiling of combat power in the ruins.
It could be said that as long as there were no Heaven-tier experts, almost no one could harm Dongfang Mingyue.
Saying this, Yan Shenghui paused and continued, "I heard you suspect that Ye Yaoyang and his son are involved in this matter?"
Ye Cangtian nodded upon hearing this and said, "We suspected it before, but on second thought, Ye Yaoyang wouldn't do this. After all, his son is still by our side. Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs!"
"You are right, it couldn't be Ye Yaoyang."
Yan Shenghui looked at the other party and agreed.
Firstly, Ye Yaoyang's actions were sometimes unfathomable, but what he hated most was evil forces.
He had also joined forces with other peak experts in the past to eliminate some evil forces.
It was suspected that Ye Yaoyang's wife's accident was related to retaliation from evil forces.
This made him hate evil forces even more, and it was impossible for him to join forces with the Five Poisons Sect.
Secondly, Ye Yaoyang loved his son dearly, and it could be said that he had been planning for his son his entire life, so he would not disregard his son's safety.
"I can see that."
Listening to Yan Shenghui's words, Ye Cangtian nodded slightly. He could see all of these points.
Ye Yaoyang teaching Ye Zhenghao calligraphy was an expression of his love for his wife.
And letting Ye Zhenghao interact with Dongfang Mingyue was to plan a future for Ye Zhenghao.
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian slowly said, "Although it can be confirmed that Ye Yaoyang did not make the move, the people from the Poisonous Snake Hall could come to Blazing Flame Mountain after Blazing Fire Village, which means their people have already infiltrated the Blazing Fire Institute."
"You are right."
Yan Shenghui nodded. If there was no internal reception from the Blazing Fire Institute, the people from the Poisonous Snake Hall would probably not dare to enter Blazing Fire Village.
After all, the Blazing Fire Institute was a hidden force. Hidden forces generally disliked contact with outsiders.
Once outsiders entered, they would be strictly investigated and would basically be exposed.
Unless they were brought in by someone from the inside, they might have a certain chance of remaining hidden.
Listening to Yan Shenghui's words, Ye Cangtian's eyes turned, and he said, "If that's the case, then finding these outsiders from the Poisonous Snake Hall should not be a problem!"
"Yes, that's indeed the case."
"There are few people in Blazing Fire Village. As long as we search house by house, we will quickly find these villains."
"I'm afraid they have already left the village, and that would be troublesome."
Yan Shenghui responded and said slowly.
In addition to this, he was also worried about another problem, which was the poison of the Five Poisons Sect.
If the people from the Poisonous Snake Hall were in the village, it would not be difficult to force them out, but if they were cornered and unleashed widespread poisoning,
Then the number of survivors in Blazing Fire Village would be very small.
After all, the healers in the Blazing Fire Institute were very limited, and their medical skills were relatively mediocre.
"This can be solved."
Ye Cangtian glanced at the other party and continued, "Their target is Mingyue Sister and me, so as long as we give them an opportunity, they will take the bait."
Ye Cangtian's intention was simple: to use himself as bait to lure out the people from the Poisonous Snake Hall, and then cooperate with the Blazing Fire Institute to capture them all.
"Kid, it's not that I don't trust you, but the potent poisons of the Five Poisons Sect are防不胜防 (unpredictable and difficult to guard against). Not to mention Heaven-tier experts, even if they took antidote pills beforehand, they wouldn't be very effective!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Yan Shenghui quickly said. He did not want to joke about the lives of the two.
Not to mention his relationship with Dongfang Hongwu.
Just considering Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue's status in the Hidden Group, if something happened to them in the Blazing Fire Institute, it might trigger a war between the two sides.
Countless soldiers would die in the ensuing battle, and he truly did not want to see such a scene.
"It's okay."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, took out a small porcelain bottle from his Qiankun bag, and said, "This is an antidote pill refined by the Hidden Group's physician. I have tested it, and the effect is very good..."
"Oh?"
Yan Shenghui looked at the antidote pill with confusion. To be honest, in his eyes, the color and size of the antidote pill were not much different from the antidote pills refined by the Blazing Fire Institute.
The only difference was the medicinal fragrance. The antidote pill in Ye Cangtian's hand had a more intense medicinal fragrance.
As for anything else, he, an outsider, could not tell.
After a moment, he said, "Are these pills really that magical? Don't fool me, you can't joke with your lives."
Yan Shenghui was not afraid of those scum from the Poisonous Snake Hall. With Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue's cultivation, it was not a problem to sweep them away.
It was just that these poisons truly made him fearful.
"Don't worry, Senior. This antidote pill can definitely prevent poisoning. I have absolute confidence in this."
Ye Cangtian said. When he was at the Sword Tomb of the Dugu Family, Dongfang Mingyue had used an antidote pill, and after using it, Dongfang Mingyue showed no signs of poisoning.
This was enough to explain everything.
Seeing Ye Cangtian's confident gaze, Yan Shenghui nodded and said, "Alright then, the Blazing Fire Institute can cooperate with you at any time."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded and responded, then took out more antidote pills and handed them to Yan Shenghui.
"Senior, I don't have many antidote pills left. Please take these first and distribute them to those who need to participate in the battle!"
"By the way, when dealing with the Five Poisons Sect, try not to send too many people. Just send a few experts to cooperate with us..."
Hearing this, Yan Shenghui nodded and said, "That's easy. I'll have Zhenghao, Biao'er, and some squad leaders and captains cooperate with you."
"Okay."
Ye Cangtian directly agreed. He knew that among the peak combatants, holding a certain official position meant they had reached the quasi-Heaven tier in cultivation.
After taking the antidote pills, these people would be more than enough to deal with the Poisonous Snake Hall.
