In the Artificial Lake Park.
Although it was already late at night, people occasionally passed through the park, so Huang San and Huang Wu could only hide in the shade of the trees and chat in low voices.
After an unknown amount of time, a gust of wind swept past, and the two quickly turned their heads. Upon seeing Ye Cangtian wearing a silver mask, they couldn't help but reveal expressions of surprise: "My lord has finally arrived!"
Ye Cangtian pretended to be travel-worn and nodded slightly, "I had some trouble entering the country, so it delayed me by two days. How is your surveillance going?"
"Huang Wu also just arrived in Yangzhou today. I arrived a bit earlier, my lord. When I was returning to Huaxia, I encountered Ye Cangtian on the plane, but I..." Huang San quickly explained.
"It's alright. With your strength, you wouldn't be able to deal with him. As long as you can monitor him from the shadows, that's enough!"
"Yes, I've been monitoring him for the past two days. What should we do next?"
"In my opinion, now that my lord has arrived, the three of us should find an opportunity to strike him directly!" Huang Wu made a throat-slitting gesture.
Ye Cangtian glanced at him and frowned, "Are the three of us combined his opponent? Don't forget, he was able to rescue the Huaxia research personnel right under our noses and escape successfully!"
Huang Wu deflated upon hearing this. That's right! That guy was very strong.
Last time at the Yangzhou wharf, his former lord had died at the hands of that person. Even though the three of them had numbers, they might not be able to defeat him.
He thought for a moment, and a scheme suddenly came to his mind. He grinned sinisterly, "My lord, I heard from Huang San that he seems to have a fiancée. Why don't we just..."
Hearing this, a killing intent arose in Ye Cangtian's heart. This guy was actually thinking of Tang Xinwan?
Before he could speak out in objection, Huang San frowned, "Huang Wu, can you stop being so disgusting? Our target is that Ye Cangtian, why involve others?"
He was somewhat repulsed by Huang Wu's idea.
Ye Cangtian spoke at this moment, "Huang Wu, put away that thought. Don't forget this is Huaxia. As soon as our identities are exposed, people from Huaxia's Dragon Group will immediately rush over."
"Lord Zi Long said that if we can kill him, we kill him. If we can't, we just monitor him and await further orders from the organization. Absolutely do not alert the enemy!"
"I understand!" Huang Wu replied sullenly.
"I don't care how you acted before, but now you are my subordinates, and you must listen to me. Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding our brotherhood!" Ye Cangtian added.
He was really worried that this guy would act impulsively and target people around him.
It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to get rid of this fellow!
While Ye Cangtian was contemplating these things, he didn't slack off. Seeing his two subordinates nod in acknowledgment, he stood up, "Let's go. I need you to accompany me to meet someone!"
Huang Wu and Huang San were stunned. Meet someone?
Could it be that there were other members of the Dark Association in Yangzhou City?
...
One o'clock in the morning!
Ye Cangtian led the two to the underground parking lot of a shopping mall in the city center.
It was already late at night, and the shopping mall had long since closed. Apart from some parked vehicles, there wasn't a single soul in the entire parking lot.
Huang Wu and Huang San had wanted to ask who they were meeting.
But remembering the furious look of their Lord Xuan Qi just now, they thought about it and decided not to speak.
As Ye Cangtian walked through the parking lot, he remained vigilant.
Although it was the Xuan-level deacon, Xuan Shi Wu, who had sent him a message to meet, it was not impossible for him to have set a trap. After all, in the entire Dark Association, apart from himself, he truly didn't trust anyone else.
Even that big fatty, Xuan Jiu, Ye Cangtian still didn't know his true identity to this day.
"Click!"
The sound of a car door opening came, and Ye Cangtian stopped in his tracks, looking up ahead.
In front, a Porsche Cayenne's car door opened, and a man wearing a bronze mask stepped out.
Just as Ye Cangtian was feeling somewhat confused, another car door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a silver mask got out. Only then did he step forward.
The two stopped about three meters apart.
The silver-masked middle-aged man sized Ye Cangtian up and asked with some peculiarity, "Are you Xuan Qi? It seems the previous one is already dead!"
Ye Cangtian knew he was referring to the previous Xuan Qi whom he had killed at the outer passage of the ruins, so he explained, "The previous Xuan Qi died in the ruins. I was promoted by Lord Zi Long afterward."
"I see. Alas, Old Qi was not weak, and to think he also died in the ruins. It seems the ruins you went to this time are not simple." The silver-masked middle-aged man sighed.
It seemed this person knew the previous Xuan Qi from before.
However, this was quite normal. Although there were quite a few Xuan-level experts, over time, they would become familiar with each other, so it was normal for them to know each other.
This silver-masked middle-aged man had probably not gone to the island before; at least, Ye Cangtian did not recognize him.
After the silver-masked middle-aged man, named Xuan Shi Wu, finished speaking, he smiled at Ye Cangtian again, "To be favored by Lord Zi Long, Xuan Qi, your future is boundless! By the way, let me introduce you, this is my subordinate, Huang Jiu."
Huang Jiu?
This person should be the Tao family's butler, Li Jiu, right?
Ye Cangtian glanced at the bronze-masked man beside Xuan Shi Wu and nodded. Then he gestured behind him, "One of them is Huang Wu, and the other is Huang San. They are currently working for me!"
"Brother Shi Wu, you asked me to meet so late. Do you have any instructions?"
"Heh heh, I dare not issue instructions. We will all be working for the organization from now on. I just wanted to meet Brother Xuan Qi and discuss a matter!" Xuan Shi Wu smiled and shook his head.
Soon, he explained the whole situation.
Xuan Shi Wu's mission was the same as the previous Xuan Qi's: to support dark forces in various regions of Huaxia and to place personnel in some top families, likely to supply a large amount of funds to the Dark Association in the future.
His subordinate, Huang Jiu, was currently working for the Tao family in Suhang City and was getting closer to completely controlling the Tao family. However, recently, the Tao family had offended a powerful individual.
"Ye Cangtian?" Ye Cangtian raised his eyebrows.
He didn't expect Xuan Shi Wu to appear in Yangzhou to target him. Nor did he expect that the large Tao family in Suhang was gradually falling under the control of the Dark Association.
"That's right. My purpose for coming to Yangzhou this time is to eliminate this scourge for the Tao family."
Xuan Shi Wu nodded, then frowned again, "However, I heard that this Ye Cangtian is very strong. To prevent any accidents, I hope Brother Xuan Qi can provide some help!"
Huang Wu and Huang San behind Ye Cangtian showed strange expressions. They didn't expect that the other party was also targeting that 'Ye Cangtian'.
Ye Cangtian remained unfazed and smiled upon hearing this, "We are all working for the organization. These minor matters are not a problem. Brother Shi Wu can make the arrangements!"
Xuan Shi Wu was overjoyed.
"Then thank you. However, I won't let you work for free, brother. After the matter is done..."
