“Fine, we’ll do it your way.”
“But I have to remind you, Mingyue guards the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir very closely. It will be very, very difficult to get a single pill from her…”
Old Master Xu picked up his teacup and gave Ye Cangtian a look of ‘good luck to you.’
Every Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir in the Hidden Organization was earned with the lives of its members.
If it were used to aid a member of the Hidden Organization, Dongfang Mingyue would have nothing to say. But if it were to be used on Gui Wu, it would be very, very difficult.
“We’ll talk about that when the time comes,” Ye Cangtian said.
In fact, his first choice was not the Hidden Organization; he didn’t want to use their resources.
His original plan was to request a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir from the headquarters of the Dark Association, but he wasn’t sure if that would work.
After all, Xing Yuan had already given him an elixir last time, and it was an exceptional reward.
And in this operation, although he handled it with ease, he ultimately failed to complete the Dark Association’s mission to kill Ye Cangtian. Therefore, Xing Yuan might not agree.
However, even so, it wouldn’t change his determination to save Gui Wu.
As he said before, it was just one Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. Even if he couldn’t get it from the Hidden Organization or the Dark Association, he believed that one day, he would obtain it himself.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian changed the subject and said, “Old Master, the other forces have been dealt with, only the Dark Association remains.”
Ye Cangtian stated that he was going to talk to Zi Long and see what other plans he had.
After all, the Dark Association’s objective was to kill Ye Cangtian, and the mission was not yet complete. The Dark Association would likely not give up easily.
“Yes, go ahead.”
“As I said, as long as you need anything, I will support you with all my might!” Old Master Xu waved his hand and said.
…
Hiton Hotel.
After leaving the family compound, Ye Cangtian came directly here.
“Dawn, you’re finally here!”
“How have things been on your end lately? I thought something had happened to you?”
Because he hadn’t received any news from Dawn in the past few days, coupled with various rumors, Zi Long was truly worried that Dawn couldn’t handle it.
Now that he saw Dawn arrive, he was somewhat excited.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, “I’m fine, but those other forces have suffered.”
“Oh? You mean those small and medium-sized forces?”
“I heard about them. They were either annihilated or captured by Chinese forces.”
“But this is all normal. How could they possibly deal with the Hidden Organization and the Dragon Group? Such an outcome is not unexpected…” Zi Long paused slightly and said.
“Haha, Lord Zi Long, your news is a bit out of date!”
“Do you know about last night’s news?”
Ye Cangtian laughed heartily and looked at Zi Long with a playful gaze.
“Last night?”
“What happened last night?”
“You mean the Hidden Organization has captured the Bright Hall completely?”
Zi Long was stunned again. He suddenly remembered another piece of news from the past two days: the Hidden Organization had found the Bright Hall’s stronghold and was pursuing them relentlessly.
However, in his opinion, with Bedra in charge, it was somewhat unrealistic to capture them all.
“No, no, no.”
Ye Cangtian smiled and waved his hand, saying, “Bedra of the Bright Hall, as well as Sasaki of the Ninja Department, were both killed by me!”
What!
Upon hearing this news, Zi Long almost jumped up. His eyes widened, and he almost dropped his eyeballs.
To be honest, he found this news hard to believe.
Both Bedra and Sasaki were veteran Earth-grade powerhouses with formidable strength. Even he himself didn’t have a guaranteed victory.
Yet, Dawn, having just reached the Earth-grade realm, could kill both of them, which was truly incredible.
As soon as he thought of this, Zi Long suddenly remembered something and quickly said, “Dawn, what exactly happened? The Ninja Department is allied with us, why did you attack Sasaki!”
Zi Long’s eyes flickered. This was no laughing matter.
Killing Sasaki was not an achievement, but possibly a crime that would lead to punishment.
It was known that the Dark Association had wanted to cooperate with the Ninja Department for a long time, and now there were signs of cooperation. Killing Sasaki would undoubtedly shatter the cooperation between the two sides.
“Sasaki courted death!”
“I teamed up with him to kill Bedra, and then he suddenly attacked me!”
“He wanted to frame the Bright Hall for my death, and then instigate a war between the Bright Hall and the Dark Association, thereby allowing the Ninja Department to profit from it…” Ye Cangtian snorted and said slowly.
What!
Hearing this, Zi Long’s eyes widened, and the anger in his gaze intensified.
The Ninja Department dared to scheme against the Dark Association. This was definitely a suicidal act.
“So, you can’t be blamed. Your action was justified. Did you leave any survivors?”
Zi Long looked at Dawn. He believed what he said, but headquarters might not.
Especially since Hong Mo harbored resentment towards Dawn and might use this as an excuse. If there were no survivors to testify, Dawn might indeed run into trouble.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded and said, “There is a survivor. I captured Gui Wu.”
“Brilliant!”
Upon hearing this, Zi Long was immediately relieved and displayed a sinister smile, giving a thumbs-up.
Gui Wu was the pride of the Ninja Department and held a very high status within it.
After what happened yesterday, for an ordinary person, they might have killed Gui Wu in anger, but Dawn spared her life.
Needless to say, he wasn’t just planning to have Gui Wu testify; he intended to keep her for himself.
Thinking about Gui Wu’s beauty and figure, Zi Long’s gaze towards Ye Cangtian carried a hint of ambiguity…
My goodness!
Feeling Zi Long’s gaze, Ye Cangtian almost vomited blood in anger.
For heaven’s sake!
He didn’t intend to do anything to Gui Wu!
However, thinking about it, he didn’t explain anything. Such matters would likely only get worse the more he tried to clarify.
Thinking this, he changed the subject and said, “Lord Zi Long, there is a problem. Most of the forces have been wiped out, leaving only our side. It will likely be difficult to kill Ye Cangtian!”
The commotion yesterday was too great. The Chinese forces would surely receive the news.
They would soon be able to confirm the casualties of each force, and then the Chinese side would be able to disengage and protect Ye Cangtian, making it difficult to complete the mission.
He also wanted to test Zi Long’s attitude.
Hearing this, Zi Long’s gaze turned grim. This was indeed a problem.
He pondered for a long time, then slowly said, “If we force a kill on Ye Cangtian, the losses will likely be heavy. Perhaps we should temporarily abandon the mission and wait for an opportunity!”
In Zi Long’s view, the protection provided by China to Ye Cangtian would ultimately have a time limit and could not last a lifetime.
Since they couldn’t kill Ye Cangtian now, they might as well wait it out slowly. It wouldn’t be too late to kill Ye Cangtian once the protection was withdrawn.
Phew!
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian felt relieved.
He was truly worried that Zi Long, though brave, might be reckless and want to team up with him to assassinate Ye Cangtian, which would be difficult to resolve.
After the test, Ye Cangtian chatted with Zi Long for a while longer and then left the Hiton Hotel.
As he stepped out of the Hiton Hotel, a faint smile adorned his face.
Zi Long had put the mission on hold for now, which meant that all matters in Kyoto were temporarily concluded. He could finally relax for a few days.
