Ye Cangtian, having temporarily resolved the trouble, walked to the side to rest.
Before long, Huang San also came to his side.
Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Cangtian quietly asked, "Xuan Qi, what's the situation during this time?"
"Lord Xuan Qi, it's Xuan Shi Yi."
"The reason for attracting the suspicion of Zi Long and others this time was all his doing..."
Huang San explained the whole story.
Originally, Xuan Qi, Xuan Wu, and the captives of the Dragon Group had disappeared, but Xuan Shi Yi only targeted Xuan Qi, and said nothing about Xuan Wu.
At a glance, Xuan Shi Yi showed prejudice against him...
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly.
He naturally understood why Xuan Shi Yi was targeting him.
It was said that compared to others, he was highly appreciated by Earth-level deacons like Qing Dao and Zi Long, especially Qing Dao, who even had the idea of poaching him.
As a result, the other party naturally did not fare well with Qing Dao.
So Xuan Shi Yi targeted him everywhere, and as soon as he had a chance, he would try to frame him.
Although Ye Cangtian didn't care, he also disliked this annoying fellow!
...
After a long rest.
Zi Long and the other two finally led the people of the Dark Association to the mountain summit.
As soon as they set foot on the summit, they encountered a large stone tablet.
On it were written four characters: 'Illusory Sword Manor'!
The calligraphy was vigorous and powerful, and even after countless years, one could feel the sharpness emanating from it with a single glance.
Four characters alone could bring enough shock.
Those with weak strength would inevitably feel dizzy after just a glance.
Especially the mercenaries, many of whom had already fainted and were carried aside by others.
At this moment, Ye Cangtian and the others from the Dark Association did not have their eyes drawn to those four characters.
Their gazes were fixed on the distance, on the sword manor that had weathered the ages.
The sword manor was surrounded by walls several meters high, and there were two stone lions at the ancient main gate, looking majestic and imposing.
However, all of this paled in comparison to the giant sword behind them.
Unlike at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the giant sword from this vantage point, there was an invisible and strong sense of pressure. In front of the giant sword that towered into the clouds, human bodies appeared so small.
Moreover, it gave people the feeling that a single sword strike could cleave the heavens and earth, which was truly shocking.
"Treasure, it's definitely a treasure!"
"Damn it, I'll risk it all! Anyone who dares to block me, I'll kill him!"
"It must be mine..."
Just then, a voice that sounded like madness came from the distance.
Looking around, various forces were resting in the distance, making full preparations to enter the manor.
At this moment, many of them had their eyes glowing green, like hungry wolves, staring at the shining treasure sword.
With such a treasure sword, their strength would definitely increase greatly. Who in the world could be their enemy?
"Lord Qing Dao, while they are resting, let's enter the sword manor first!"
Beside him, Xuan Shi Yi approached Qing Dao and said in a low voice.
The Heart of the Ruins was within the sword manor. First come, first served. Since the other forces were resting, they could strike first.
"No!"
Ye Cangtian quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"The manor gate is now closed. There must be some mystery behind it, otherwise, why would those forces still be resting outside the manor?"
Ye Cangtian stated that even if they entered the sword manor now, it might not be so easy to seize the Heart of the Ruins, and instead, it would put the Dark Association in danger.
Who knew what dangers might be inside the sword manor?
If the Dark Association could not escape these dangers, they might end up doing all the work for other forces.
"Hmph! Xuan Shi Yi, you are getting worse and worse!"
"Learn from Xuan Qi properly!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Qing Dao looked at Xuan Shi Yi with disdain, leaving Xuan Shi Yi speechless.
He originally wanted to offer advice to Qing Dao and show himself, but in the end, it was ruined by Xuan Qi.
Not only did he not receive praise, but he was also more disliked by Qing Dao.
Damn Xuan Qi, you just wait for me!
On the other side.
Seeing Xuan Shi Yi embarrassed, Ye Cangtian also showed a smile in his eyes.
He could have refrained from pointing it out, believing that Qing Dao had his own judgment, but he had heard from Huang San that Xuan Shi Yi had been causing trouble for him.
Since that was the case, he couldn't blame him!
...
"Where is Xuan Qi!"
"Where is that bastard Xuan Qi?"
"Damn it, Dark Association, hand over Xuan Qi to die!"
Just then, sounds of scolding and cursing came.
Xuan Shi Yi glanced over and immediately showed a smile.
A group of people from the Light Hall were walking over angrily from not far away.
The leader wore a red robe and was the Cardinal of the Light Hall, Hasar. Even this Cardinal was filled with anger at this moment.
It was clear that Xuan Qi had offended them, and now there would be a good show to watch!
If Hasar insisted on killing Xuan Qi, even Zi Long and the other two might not be able to protect him...
Xuan Shi Yi thought to himself, even praying that Hasar would kill Xuan Qi, so that he would once again be a favorite in Qing Dao's eyes.
"Old ghost Hong, what are you people howling about!"
On the other side, Zi Long and the others led their men to meet them, and Qing Dao took a step forward and shouted coldly.
He was not simply standing up for Xuan Qi, but in the Saudi ruins, he had allied with Hasar, only to be ambushed by Hasar.
This grudge could truly be settled today!
"Qing Dao, our grievances can be discussed later. Today I am here to seek justice for my people!"
Hasar glanced at Qing Dao and said coldly.
"Justice? What justice?"
Before Qing Dao could speak, Zi Long stopped Qing Dao and then questioned Hasar.
After all, Xuan Qi was his subordinate. If someone else stood up for Xuan Qi, what about his own reputation?
"Hmph!"
"Xuan Qi, he actually robbed the Light Hall, does he think the Light Hall has no one?"
"Zi Long should know that with Xuan Qi's Profound level strength, it's not difficult to kill stone figures here. Yet he resorts to robbery, abandoning even the dignity of the Dark Association!"
Hasar said the matter with a red face.
Robbery was one thing, but after the robbery, he also killed a purple-robed bishop.
Although Fraulein was not his subordinate, as a Cardinal of the Light Hall, he could not ignore this matter!
"Is there such a thing?"
Zi Long glanced at Ye Cangtian, clearly unaware of this matter.
"Yes, it was me."
"Who told Humphrey, that old fellow, to rob and chase me? Naturally, I had to retaliate."
Ye Cangtian said softly to Zi Long.
Upon hearing this, Zi Long suddenly remembered that Humphrey had indeed robbed Xuan Qi and Xuan Liu before, and they had reported this matter after returning.
Thinking of this, Zi Long glanced at Hasar and said indifferently, "Hasar, our Dark Association hasn't settled accounts with you yet, and you've come to our doorstep!"
"Zi Long, what do you mean!"
"Clarify what you're saying!"
Seeing Zi Long's attitude, Hasar frowned and then questioned him in a deep voice.
"Hmph! Don't understand? Then ask your Cardinal Humphrey!"
"That shameless fellow actually robbed two juniors first, disgracing the Light Hall!"
"Since Humphrey could do such a thing, then it's no problem for Xuan Qi to do it. It's just that your people are too weak to protect their crystals and their lives!"
Zi Long snorted coldly, acting as if it was only natural, with intense contempt in his eyes.
What goes around comes around. Since the Light Hall had acted shamelessly first, it was only right for them to retaliate. The Dark Association was not to be trifled with!
"Impossible! Humphrey would not do something that would tarnish his status!"
"This must all be your fabrication!"
Hasar looked incredulous. How could Humphrey, as a Cardinal, do such a thing?
He gritted his teeth again and said sternly, "Zi Long, I ask you one thing: will you hand over Xuan Qi?"
"Are you really going to go to war with the Light Hall because of Xuan Qi?"
"Damn it, I won't hand him over!"
Zi Long's anger was also provoked, and he continued, "Then let's go to war! Are we afraid of you? If you have the ability, call all your people here, and let's fight now!"
