"Heh heh."
Ye Cangtian smiled helplessly and continued, "Don't be envious. What I just said is only one possibility. Another is that there's an external force hiding in the shadows, stirring up bloodshed..."
"Impossible, the security at the gates of Swift City is very strict. It's hard to avoid them!"
"Besides, who would have the guts! Aren't they afraid of Swift Tower destroying them!"
Yi Feipeng was somewhat disbelieving of Ye Cangtian's speculation.
Swift Tower was not a small force that anyone could bully. It was a peak force, and few people dared to offend Swift Tower in the ruins!
"You seem to have forgotten something!"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian glanced at Yi Feipeng. Seeing Yi Feipeng's confused expression, he continued, "In Jinling City, there's a group of rats hiding underground, and they don't fear your Swift Tower!"
"This..."
Reminded by Ye Cangtian, Yi Feipeng was stunned for a moment, then immediately thought of something.
The innocent civilians of Jinling City suffered because of the actions of the Flying Cloud Pavilion, which showed that the Flying Cloud Pavilion acted ruthlessly.
Moreover, the Flying Cloud Pavilion was also a peak force, and it indeed did not fear Swift Tower.
Most importantly, the Flying Cloud Pavilion had the ability to control others, so it was not impossible to infiltrate Swift City or silently eliminate Wang Ying's family...
"What you said makes a lot of sense, but didn't you drive away the people from the Flying Cloud Pavilion? And there aren't many of them left!"
Listening to Yi Feipeng, Ye Cangtian glanced over and said helplessly, "Perhaps they are unwilling to give up! Or perhaps they have other motives..."
"That doesn't make sense either!"
"Logically, Wang Ying had no grievances with the Flying Cloud Pavilion, so why would they commit such a heinous act?"
Yi Feipeng asked, confused. In his opinion, even if the Flying Cloud Pavilion was ferocious, they still considered themselves righteous and wouldn't kill without reason!
Heh heh.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled helplessly and said, "Please, I'm just stating a possibility. Besides, I'm not a mind reader, how can I know so much..."
Uh...
Yi Feipeng's face immediately turned red. He was too eager and had forgotten this point.
In fact, it was already remarkable that Ye Cangtian could guess so much!
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Just then, a knock on the door sounded.
Ye Cangtian and Yi Feipeng exchanged glances, decisively dropped the topic, and motioned for the person to come in.
The next moment, a figure slowly entered. He was wearing exquisite armor and looked dignified.
"You?"
Ye Cangtian's gaze fell on the newcomer, and his brows furrowed.
The person who arrived was none other than Wu Haotian, whom he had defeated last night.
And the other party was responsible for the safety of Swift City, and now he had come to his room. It was unlikely to be good news.
On the other side, Wu Haodong bowed to the three of them and said, "Sirs, another major event occurred in Swift City yesterday. I would like to ask the three of you to cooperate with the investigation!"
"Ask us to cooperate again!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenghao immediately became agitated.
The last time he was taken away for questioning, although he was eventually released, it left a very bad impression in his memory.
Therefore, he was particularly resistant at this moment.
"This is a serious matter, and we must investigate each person individually. Please understand."
Seeing Ye Zhenghao get angry, Wu Haodong bowed with an apologetic expression.
"Wu Haodong, you should know that I am from the Blazing Fire Academy!"
"If I'm taken away by you repeatedly, what will happen to the reputation of my Blazing Fire Academy!"
"Or are you deliberately making trouble for us, bullying my Blazing Fire Academy because it has no one!"
Ye Zhenghao's expression turned even colder as he heard the other party's words. It went without saying that the other party must be here for the tragic case of Wang Ying's family.
Ye Cangtian had already made it clear before, and he believed Ye Cangtian. Therefore, in his opinion, Ye Zhenghao was just looking for trouble!
"I apologize, but this matter is too big!"
"So no matter who you are, I will still investigate. Please cooperate!"
Seeing that Ye Zhenghao still wasn't giving him a good look, Wu Haodong's tone became a bit tougher and he continued, "If you don't cooperate, I will have to be rude!"
Outwardly, Wu Haodong was internally overjoyed.
The more the other party resisted, the happier he was. That way, he could legitimately attack the three of them.
Even if he was defeated, Swift Tower would not stand by and do nothing!
Hmph!
Ye Zhenghao heard this and snorted coldly, saying fiercely, "Do you think I'm scared?"
As he spoke, Ye Zhenghao produced a pair of fiery red gauntlets, and a powerful aura spread around him.
He looked as if he was ready to fight at any moment.
"My apologies."
Wu Haodong bowed slightly, then his expression instantly turned cold, and he shouted, "Guards! Ye Zhenghao of the Blazing Fire Academy refuses to cooperate with the investigation, seize him!"
Ta ta ta...
As the words fell, the sound of chaotic footsteps immediately came over.
"You think I'm afraid of you!"
Ye Zhenghao shouted coldly, and the next moment he threw a punch at Wu Haodong.
Pa!
As soon as he made his move, Ye Cangtian flashed in front of him and blocked his fist.
Seeing this, Ye Zhenghao was immediately confused. The other party was clearly looking for trouble, so why was Ye Cangtian stopping him?
On the other side, feeling Ye Zhenghao's gaze, Ye Cangtian said indifferently, "It's not worth getting angry over a dog!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian gave Ye Zhenghao a meaningful look.
The meaning was clear: tell him to think about the consequences.
Ye Zhenghao was stunned, his mind racing. In an instant, he understood the other party's intention.
Originally, this matter might have been nothing. However, if he made a move, it would definitely bring trouble to the Blazing Fire Academy.
It would not be worth it to implicate the Blazing Fire Academy for something that had nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhenghao snorted coldly and said, "Fine, I'll cooperate with your investigation, but if you dare to frame us, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
Saying that, Ye Zhenghao took the lead and left the room.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian slowly followed. When he passed Wu Haodong, he stopped.
"Wu Haodong, it's easy to invite us, but difficult to send us back! This is not the first time you've provoked us!"
Ye Cangtian gave the other party a cold smile before leaving the room.
Damn it! Who said they would send you back?
Even if they returned, it would be lying down!
Wu Haodong stared coldly at Ye Cangtian's retreating back, but he didn't dare to say this aloud, only muttering fiercely in his heart.
...
Swift City, a guesthouse.
A figure hurriedly entered the room. Seeing the leisurely resting Soul Eight and Soul Nine, he cupped his fists in a salute.
"My lords, we just received news that Ye Zhenghao and the other two have been taken away by Wu Haodong!"
"A conflict almost broke out this time..."
The subordinate briefly explained the general situation they had discovered.
"Good!"
Soul Nine immediately became excited and gave Soul Eight a thumbs up.
Soul Eight's plan was truly brilliant, and the Swift Tower had already made a move against Ye Zhenghao and the others so quickly.
This outcome was even better than expected.
Now, the fact that a conflict almost broke out to apprehend Ye Zhenghao and the others showed that the people of Swift Tower were eager to believe that Ye Zhenghao and the others were the culprits.
Otherwise, they would have had to consider Ye Zhenghao's identity to some extent.
Therefore, by taking Ye Zhenghao and the others back, they might directly frame them and quickly close the case.
And Ye Zhenghao and the others were not easy to deal with, and they would definitely not accept the blame so easily. This would lead to a conflict between the two sides, causing them to erupt and get out of control!
Looking at Soul Nine's thumbs-up, Soul Eight smiled smugly and said, "We can't get complacent. Let's keep a close watch. Don't forget, that Ye Cangtian is very capable, and these things might not be able to stump him!"
Mm.
Soul Nine nodded and said, "Are we just watching? Aren't we going to do anything else?"
Soul Eight glanced at the other party and said, "After killing Wang Ying's family just now, Swift Tower is going crazy. It's best to stay in the shadows at this time, letting them fight amongst themselves!"
Hearing this, Soul Nine finally understood.
If they continued to act, they might expose their tracks. At that time, Swift Tower would dismiss their suspicions about Ye Cangtian and the others, which would be disadvantageous.
It would be better to let them become hostile towards each other. He believed that eventually, one party would be unable to resist and make a move.
