The top floor of the Hiton Hotel.
After leaving the family compound, Ye Cangtian came directly here.
He had to report to Zilong sooner or later. Since there was still time, he decided to report it all at once to avoid future trouble.
When Zilong saw Ye Cangtian, he was immediately surprised.
He had heard a general account of the situation at Tingfeng Tower from Lan Yue and Qing Dao, who had returned.
The two had also explicitly stated that Po Xiao would remain there to observe further developments.
This was why he was surprised. He hadn't expected the other party to return so soon.
Therefore, as soon as Ye Cangtian entered the room, he hurriedly inquired, "Po Xiao, what exactly is the situation at Tingfeng Tower?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Zilong and said with a smile, "It's nothing much. The楼主 killed two elders and then committed suicide. Later, reinforcements from the Guangming Hall arrived, but they were driven away by that Ye Cangtian..."
Ye Cangtian said it casually, leaving Zilong dumbfounded.
To be honest, when he heard from Qing Dao that Po Xiao was certain that Ye Cangtian would eliminate the楼主, he didn't quite believe it.
This Po Xiao was too confident.
But now, the result was right in front of him, leaving him speechless. It was also why he found Po Xiao particularly terrifying.
It was already remarkable for someone to accurately predict the actions of their own side.
To be able to predict the actions of the opponent was an even greater ability.
And Po Xiao not only predicted the opponent's actions but even utilized them. Such an ability was truly terrifying.
Thinking this, Zilong felt a hint of apprehension and then said, "Po Xiao, I am truly becoming more and more impressed with your methods, and this move you played was brilliant."
"Hmm? Brilliant in what way?"
Although Ye Cangtian knew what Zilong meant, he pretended to be oblivious. Sometimes, a little feigned ignorance could save face for others.
This way, he wouldn't incur others' jealousy.
"Your timely withdrawal, the brilliance of it lies in that Ye Cangtian's subsequent arrival."
"Although, on the surface, your actions were completely separate."
"But with such sequential actions, the Guangming Hall will definitely believe that the Hei An Xie Hui and the Huaxia forces have a certain level of cooperation in the Tingfeng Tower incident."
"Thus, if the Guangming Hall seeks revenge, they will have to be cautious..."
Zilong explained with a smile. In his opinion, the Guangming Hall wouldn't even dare to retaliate this time, after all, it was a joint operation by two super forces.
The Guangming Hall would never want to see two super forces join forces again.
"Haha, Lord Zilong is indeed far-sighted!"
"I was only thinking of minimizing losses and consuming the opponent, but you see so far ahead. Remarkable, remarkable."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and complimented him.
To be honest, Ye Cangtian had already considered all these points mentioned by Zilong before he acted.
He had deliberately launched his action immediately after the Hei An Xie Hui withdrew, precisely to put pressure on the Guangming Hall and make them hesitant to retaliate, just as Zilong had said.
"Oh, right, there's another mission for you!"
Listening to Ye Cangtian's flattery, Zilong smiled slightly, feeling very pleased. Then, as if remembering something, he quickly said.
"What mission?"
Ye Cangtian frowned, inwardly thinking, was the Hei An Xie Hui planning another major move?
"Lord Xing Yuan learned that the entrance formation to the Huaxia Ruins was severely damaged and its power was significantly reduced. He specifically wants you to infiltrate it and investigate the strength of the Yin Zu..."
"Of course, besides this, you must constantly monitor the movements of the Guangming Hall."
Zilong stated that the Huaxia Ruins were, after all, the world's number one ruins, containing countless treasures. If there was an opportunity, the Hei An Xie Hui would not miss it.
Furthermore, the Guangming Hall had paid such a price to destroy the entrance formation, indicating they would definitely have further actions.
Understanding the Guangming Hall's actions might bring immense benefits to the Hei An Xie Hui.
Listening to Zilong's words, Ye Cangtian muttered to himself that this Xing Yuan was indeed not someone to be trifled with.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian glanced at Zilong and said, "Alas, they really don't let people rest! Why didn't they assign this kind of task to Lan Yue and Qing Dao..."
While seemingly complaining, Ye Cangtian was actually probing.
He was puzzled as to how Xing Yuan knew he was on a mission at Tingfeng Tower.
But he shouldn't have known his return date. So why would he assign this mission to him?
Wasn't he afraid that if he returned late, it would cause delays?
"Lord Xing Yuan said that you followed Ye Cangtian to the Huaxia Ruins entrance and are more familiar with the situation there. Moreover, your abilities are outstanding, so he specifically assigned you..."
Saying this, Zilong stepped forward, patted Ye Cangtian on the shoulder, and continued, "From Lord Xing Yuan's tone, it seems he isn't in a hurry. You can secretly rest in the capital for a few days before setting off..."
"Alas! Alright, we'll see about that later."
Ye Cangtian sighed, then said, "Alright, I've reported almost everything about the operation. I won't bother you any longer, I'll go back and rest."
"Leaving already?"
"This mission was completed so perfectly, let me treat you to a drink to celebrate!"
Zilong was slightly taken aback and quickly said.
Ye Cangtian shook his head and said, "I appreciate your kind offer, Lord, but perhaps another time. I haven't had a good rest for several days and can barely hold on..."
Hearing this, Zilong didn't insist. He nodded and saw Ye Cangtian out of the room.
...
The villa.
As soon as they returned home, Gui Wu and Nan Xi walked out of their rooms.
After hesitating for a moment, Nan Xi said, "I want to take the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian made a gesture of invitation and shrugged, "That's your own business! Why are you telling me? I said that as long as you return to Huaxia, you can take it whenever you want."
Nan Xi glanced at Ye Cangtian and gritted her teeth, "It's too noisy here, it's affecting my breakthrough. I want to find a place to break through myself, but I need someone to guard me."
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian understood Nan Xi's intention. It went without saying that Nan Xi must want Gui Wu to guard her.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "If you trust me, I can recommend a place for you..."
Ye Cangtian recommended the place where he had consumed the Enlightenment Pill last time to Nan Xi.
It was a forest with a wooden house, relatively secluded, and quite suitable for breakthroughs.
After hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Nan Xi nodded and said, "Okay, let's go there, but I want Gui Wu to guard me..."
Ye Cangtian nodded without hesitation and agreed.
Seeing Ye Cangtian agree, Gui Wu glanced at Nan Xi and said, "I told you, he wouldn't refuse. Alright, let's pack up and set off immediately."
"Okay."
Nan Xi responded, then packed lightly with Gui Wu and left the villa.
...
Time flew by, and it was evening.
After dinner, Ye Cangtian coaxed Tang Xin Wan to sleep and then came to the rooftop alone, lit a cigarette, and took a puff.
He was still contemplating the matter of Xing Yuan asking him to go to the Huaxia Ruins.
Entering the Huaxia Ruins was not difficult for him, but what kind of intelligence should he bring back?
And what was Xing Yuan's intention in insisting that he carry out the mission?
Just as Ye Cangtian was lost in thought, a dark shadow flashed silently in the courtyard and within a short time, it had appeared behind him.
"You're here? You're quite fast."
Ye Cangtian said with a slight smile without looking back.
He already knew who it was, it was Rose from the Death Squad.
Before boarding the plane back, Ye Cangtian had contacted Rose and asked to meet her.
"Hmph, didn't you call me here? And now you're complaining that I came too fast?"
Rose glanced at Ye Cangtian and snorted lightly.
Listening to the somewhat cold words, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and didn't take offense.
He knew that her personality was like this, and she disliked contact with others, which was why she avoided Tang Xin Wan and the others and came here alone.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian directly took out a Qiankun bag and threw it over, saying, "This is for you. Distribute the rest to everyone. Improving strength is the priority now!"
Rose subconsciously grabbed the Qiankun bag and then examined it.
In an instant, Rose's eyes lit up. Inside the Qiankun bag, besides some crystals, there was a fiery red lady's long sword, which looked very beautiful.
Needless to say, this was what Ye Cangtian wanted to give her.
