Chapter 970 A Great Hidden Danger

The compound for the families.

When he arrived at the compound for the families, Old Master Xu was reviewing last night's report.

Seeing Ye Cangtian return, he was also surprised.

After all, he knew that Ye Cangtian had gone to resolve the trouble with the Death Squad, and he did not expect him to return so quickly.

"Have the matters concerning the Death Squad been handled?" Old Master Xu was the first to ask.

Ye Cangtian nodded, stepped forward, poured himself a cup of tea, and then briefly explained the situation with the Death Squad.

After speaking, Ye Cangtian directly changed the subject and said, "Old Master, what was the situation last night?"

"There was quite a commotion last night, and many brothers died..."

Old Master Xu's expression turned grim, and he slowly recounted everything.

Although the Dragon Team arrived at the villa when the fighting was basically coming to an end, and the forces of the Hall of Light and Heavenly Net had also quickly retreated.

But these assassins, in the process of being pursued, fought back desperately, causing considerable casualties to the Dragon Team.

However, in the bloody battles of the Dragon Team, the assassins of Heavenly Net did not gain any advantage. Most of them were killed or captured, and a small portion escaped.

Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's expression turned grim. He pondered for a moment and said, "Old Master, this cannot continue!"

The Hall of Light had organized two consecutive operations. Although they were all resolved on the Chinese side, the casualties on the Chinese side still exceeded expectations.

It was not that the people of the Chinese forces were not brave enough, but the opponents in these two operations were too strong, and not something the Dragon Team could easily handle.

If this continued, Ye Cangtian would always have to worry about Tang Xinwan, and how could he carry out other missions?

Therefore, Ye Cangtian boldly suggested to Old Master Xu that they should not resist head-on, but rather request support from the Hidden Group.

Listening to Ye Cangtian's suggestion, Old Master Xu began to ponder.

With the strong rise of the Hall of Light, the pressure on the Kyoto side was increasing, and the opponents faced by the Dragon Team were becoming stronger and stronger.

The Dragon Team, although capable of eliminating ordinary squad members, had to pay a certain price.

As for dealing with Earth-level experts, the Dragon Team was basically powerless.

And although Ye Cangtian's strength was great, he alone was not enough!

Just like this time, it almost led to a catastrophe...

How could the safety of Kyoto be guaranteed like this? It was indeed a huge hidden danger.

Thinking of this, he said helplessly, "As things stand, we can only ask Mingyue to take action."

...

"Sir, we have news!"

Just as Old Master Xu was about to send someone to contact the Hidden Group, Secretary Liu's figure appeared before him.

After Old Master Xu and Ye Cangtian looked at him, he said, "The personnel pursuing the assassins have reported that the assassins' gathering place has been found, and it is in a theme park in Kyoto."

Hearing this, Old Master Xu and Ye Cangtian's expressions became exceptionally serious.

Although it was not a holiday period, there were still many tourists in the theme park.

It was obvious that the assassins, having been driven into a corner, intended to use the lives of tourists as a threat to negotiate some kind of transaction.

"Notify everyone, evacuate the crowd, and seal off the entire theme park..."

Old Master Xu made a decisive order, then glanced at Ye Cangtian and continued, "Kid, this matter is still up to you."

"Okay."

Ye Cangtian agreed without any hesitation.

He also knew the difficulties faced by the Dragon Team.

The Dragon Team could certainly deal with these assassins, but the casualties would be difficult to control.

Especially for ordinary tourists, once the battle began, the Dragon Team personnel would find it difficult to ensure the safety of the tourists.

There might be a large number of innocent tourists caught in the crossfire.

And if he took action, the situation might improve considerably.

The next moment, Ye Cangtian directly left the family compound and headed for the theme park.

...

Theme park.

Inside the haunted house, two red-robed bishops sat at a small table, looking at sausages and bread.

They had some bandages on their bodies, which were left from last night's battle.

"Damn it, I never expected this!"

"Without Ye Cangtian present, our three-person operation actually failed!"

One of the red-robed bishops said with a grim expression, very annoyed by last night's failure.

He never expected that Nancy would make a comeback and break through to the Earth-level realm.

If it were just that, with their numerical advantage, taking down Nancy and Guiwu, and then taking down Tang Xinwan and others, would not be a problem.

But as the operation was about to succeed, a surprise challenger appeared at the critical moment, along with countless Dragon Team members.

The situation was forcefully reversed.

In desperation, the three could only choose to retreat.

The most crucial point was that before the operation, the three had unanimously agreed that Ye Cangtian's household only had Guiwu as an Earth-level expert.

With their combined strength, taking down Guiwu and Nancy and others would be effortless.

They could complete it with lightning speed, and they could also retreat with lightning speed, and would not be entangled by the Dragon Team at all.

It was precisely for this reason that they were not fully prepared, which resulted in them being unable to break free after being entangled by the Dragon Team, and finally having to retreat to the amusement park.

Now they could only hope that the Chinese forces were as devoted to their people as advertised on television and the internet, so that they would still have a chance to negotiate their departure.

Otherwise, they would have to consider abandoning the Heavenly Net assassins and taking the risk of breaking out, but they could not guarantee the success rate of a successful breakout...

"Report, the theme park has been sealed, and a large number of tourists are being evacuated."

"Do we need to intervene?"

Just as the red-robed bishop's voice fell, a killer's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

The two red-robed bishops exchanged glances, and then one of them picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "No need to stop, there's no need to cause more casualties..."

As for the situation outside, it was all as expected.

And in the eyes of the red-robed bishops, there was no need to stop them. After all, they had already left some tourists behind, and having them as hostages was enough.

If they were to kill the escaping tourists, it was likely to enrage the Chinese forces, which would be of no benefit to negotiating their departure.

"Okay! I understand."

On the other side of the walkie-talkie, the killer responded.

...

Theme park entrance.

When Ye Cangtian arrived here, most of the tourists he could see had already been evacuated. Ye Cangtian happened to spot two familiar figures.

One was Shangguan Yun, and the other was Xu Shian.

The growth of the two was not slow, and they had now become captains of the Dragon Team.

Seeing Ye Cangtian as well, Xu Shian and Shangguan Yun immediately stepped forward.

"Brother, that's great, you're here!"

"Our brothers can fight side by side again!"

Xu Shian said excitedly.

Originally, he and Shangguan Yun were quite troubled by these assassins, and had even prepared for sacrifice.

After all, the other party was not only Heavenly Net assassins, but also three Earth-level experts. With the current strength of the Dragon Team, it was impossible to take down three Earth-level experts.

In the battle, the two could not guarantee their own survival.

However, with Ye Cangtian's appearance now, it was like a stabilizing force, greatly boosting their confidence.

"What's the specific situation?"

Ye Cangtian patted their firm shoulders.

Under their introduction, Ye Cangtian also got some idea of the situation inside the theme park.

They were certain that the other party controlled some tourists as hostages, but the specific number of hostages was unknown.

However, according to their speculation, this number should not be too large, and they should be guarded in a certain place, as the other party's numbers were not large either.

Currently, the Dragon Team personnel had conducted a general survey of the theme park through advanced equipment.

The two locations most suitable for hiding hostages were the outdoor Eight Banners Maze and the indoor haunted house.

In addition, they had also detected the positions of some assassins, who were scattered in various corners of the theme park, very hidden...

Listening to their introduction, Ye Cangtian took a floor plan of the theme park and marked the locations of the assassins on it.

It was somewhat tricky!

The locations of these assassins were not only hidden but also able to monitor most areas of the theme park. It could be said that any large-scale operation would be discovered by the other party.
