Kaisa entered and gave a slight bow to Xue Ye before walking forward.
"Lord Xue Ye, we just received news that someone claims to have found an unknown island in the Pacific Ocean..."
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Ye's gaze immediately turned doubtful.
Tianwang had been searching for the whereabouts of the Death Squad for more than a day or two, and in the past, they only had information about the Death Squad's activity range.
But why was there such accurate news this time?
Thinking this, Xue Ye spoke, "Kaisa, who sent this message? Have you verified it?"
Kaisa nodded repeatedly, saying, "I just verified it. The identity has been confirmed. It's a fisherman who was once recruited by the Death Squad to participate in some basic construction work on an island..."
Pausing for a moment, Kaisa continued, "I have used drones to search the coordinates provided by the fisherman, and there is indeed a small island. However, everything on the island is obscured by dense forests..."
A fisherman?
Hearing this, a smile spread across Xue Ye's face.
A fisherman had no background. Even if they were tempted by money, they wouldn't dare to deceive Tianwang.
This meant that this island was worth investigating.
The next moment, Xue Ye looked up and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. You can rest now. Also, notify the Church of Light that everything will proceed as planned..."
Hearing Xue Ye's command, Kaisa's face immediately lit up with a smile. She quickly acknowledged, then withdrew from the room.
...
The Death Squad.
In the monitoring room, Viper was sleeping soundly on the monitoring console.
Ever since Viper had leaked the news, he had come to the monitoring room. Although the island's monitoring systems had alarm functions, he was still uneasy.
After all, they were dealing with not ordinary people. Not to mention Earth-level experts, even Heaven-level masters could very likely evade the surveillance he had set up.
Therefore, Viper had to monitor personally. However, after several days of monitoring, he finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep.
Ding! Ding! Ding...
At some point, a series of urgent alarm sounds echoed.
Viper immediately jolted awake and sat up. His gaze instantly locked onto a flashing red screen on the monitor wall.
It was the beach at the edge of the island. On the beach, there were now five figures.
They were dressed in black combat suits, having just removed their swimming goggles and oxygen tanks. They looked like they had swum ashore from the sea.
Viper immediately mobilized the monitoring equipment to scan the sea around the island and discovered a yacht.
Seeing this, Viper immediately contacted Ye Cangtian.
Creak!
A short while later, Ye Cangtian and蔷薇 (Qiángwēi) and others arrived at the monitoring room together.
However, by the time they arrived, many of the monitors were already black screens, likely discovered and destroyed by the intruders.
"How many people came in total?"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's question, Viper quickly replied, "Only five people landed before, but some of the monitoring has been destroyed. We can't confirm if there are more people who came later."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's gaze fixed on the video where the yacht appeared.
The yacht was of considerable size, capable of accommodating at least a hundred people. Even if the other party didn't come at full capacity, it was unlikely they only sent five people.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian said, "These five people should be the vanguard, here to verify the truth of the information."
Viper nodded in agreement and continued, "Now that they have discovered a large number of cameras, they should have confirmed the accuracy of the information. It seems the subsequent people will be able to land on the island soon."
"What should we do with these five people? Should we kill them first?"
Hearing this, Qiángwēi glanced at Ye Cangtian and asked.
Based on the locations of the damaged cameras, the positions of the five individuals could still be roughly estimated.
However, as time passed and more cameras were destroyed, it would become increasingly difficult to determine their locations.
"It would be a shame to kill them."
Ye Cangtian heard this, glanced at Qiángwēi, and continued, "I'll leave it to you. Bring them back. They'll be useful as informants."
"Okay."
Qiángwēi didn't waste any words, directly nodded, and then left the monitoring room with Wuyingjian.
Dealing with a vanguard team was not a problem for the strength of Qiángwēi and Wuyingjian.
In less than an hour, including searching for their tracks and engaging in combat, everything was settled, and all five were brought back to the base.
Facing the five individuals, Ye Cangtian lit a cigarette. After taking a couple of puffs, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Who can tell me, do you belong to the Church of Light, or Tianwang?"
"I hope for a quick answer, otherwise, I will be very unhappy!"
Looking at Ye Cangtian's smiling face, the five people instantly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and almost in unison, they uttered two words.
"Tianwang!"
...
The five Tianwang assassins were very cooperative. They answered all of Ye Cangtian's questions truthfully and without reservation.
This operation was ordered by the Church of Light.
What they knew was that their mission was to weaken the intelligence capabilities of the Huaxia forces.
The people responsible for the operation were jointly organized by the Church of Light and Tianwang.
Tianwang primarily deployed Heaven-level assassins, while the Church of Light deployed Cardinal bishops. The two sides combined dispatched 88 people, including the crew members...
Listening to the information truthfully provided by the five Tianwang assassins, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and glanced at Qiángwēi.
"Cripple their cultivation. After everything is over, let them go!"
They were only five Heaven-tier experts. After crippling their cultivation, it would be difficult for them to do evil again in this lifetime.
After all, these guys did not have the talent of Nanshi and Guiwu. Even the Church of Light, which was relatively rich in Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, would not waste them on these individuals.
Therefore, sparing their lives was not a problem.
"This..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's decision, the five Tianwang assassins' faces turned pale.
As assassins, who had not committed numerous bloody debts?
Once they became ordinary people, it was inevitable that someone would come looking for revenge. How would they protect themselves then?
It could be said that they found this outcome difficult to accept.
However, before they could beg Ye Cangtian, Qiángwēi's slender hand had already pressed against their backs.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, a look of despair flashed in the eyes of the five. They fell silent, as there was nothing more they could say now...
Ring, ring, ring...
Just then, Ye Cangtian's phone rang.
Looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen, Ye Cangtian's brows gradually furrowed. Who would call him at this time?
After hesitating for a moment, he still answered the phone.
"Pòxiǎo (破晓), it's me, Hasaer!"
Hm?
Hearing the voice from the phone, Ye Cangtian was immediately stunned. He truly did not expect the other party to contact him proactively!
Thinking this, he quickly asked, "What do you want by contacting me?"
"I've just received two pieces of news. I wonder if you're interested?" Hasaer's voice came through.
"Hehe."
Ye Cangtian immediately laughed. No matter what news the other party had received, he was naturally interested, as it came from the Church of Light.
So he said, "Tell me."
"The first piece of news is that the Church of Light and Tianwang have located the Death Squad, and they have already launched an operation."
Hearing this news, Ye Cangtian's brows immediately furrowed.
His first reaction was whether the other party had guessed Pòxiǎo's true identity.
After all, this was an issue between the Death Squad and Ye Cangtian. What was the point of the other party contacting Pòxiǎo?
The next moment, Ye Cangtian snorted and said, "Hasaer, what do you mean by notifying me with such news?"
On the other side, Hasaer quickly replied, "You and Ye Cangtian are also arch-enemies. If you can completely eliminate the Death Squad, it would be a weakening for both Ye Cangtian and Huaxia!"
"It sounds good, but unfortunately, you are too late with this news. I already received this information not long ago and decided not to participate."
"I think it should be more than enough for the Church of Light and Tianwang to join forces to eliminate the Death Squad."
Listening to Hasaer's explanation, Ye Cangtian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
