Dudududu…
A series of beeping sounds came, but no one answered the phone. Ye Cangtian suddenly had a bad feeling before Tang Xinwan even hung up.
He quickly dialed Gu Qin and Gu Yue’s numbers again, but the result was the same.
“Heh, it seems the facts have proven everything. Aren’t you going back to support them quickly!”
Seeing Ye Cangtian’s increasingly grim expression, Gui Wu’s heart was filled with joy. How could this be so coincidental? The lie she fabricated actually came true.
Truly, heaven is not destroying me!
“What are you so happy about!”
Ye Cangtian glared at Gui Wu and said fiercely, “You think I’ll let you go just because they are in trouble?”
These words stunned Gui Wu. She instantly understood Ye Cangtian’s meaning.
Her lie, by a fluke, had come true. The other party would definitely assume the Ninja Clan was responsible, and thus would never let her go.
At least this way, she still had leverage to negotiate with the Ninja Clan!
My heavens!
Thinking of this, Gui Wu didn’t say another word and turned to flee.
Who knows where Tang Xinwan and the other two women had fallen into whose hands?
If the Ninja Clan couldn’t produce them, Ye Cangtian might very well kill her in a fit of rage!
She didn’t want to die so innocently.
“Can you escape?”
Ye Cangtian let out a cold shout, and his figure suddenly flashed out, blocking Gui Wu’s path in the next instant.
Before, he had been toying with her, which was why he hadn’t caught Gui Wu. But now, Ye Cangtian was completely enraged and unleashed his true strength.
This…
This is too fast…
Gui Wu stared blankly at Ye Cangtian, and in the next moment, she let out a yelp as Ye Cangtian charged towards her.
It was a joke. Now that Ye Cangtian was clearly berserk, coupled with such terrifying speed, how could she possibly be a match for him?
In the next instant, she drew her katana. Even though she knew she was outmatched, she couldn’t just surrender.
However, before the katana could fall, Ye Cangtian’s large hand grabbed her neck, and the feeling of suffocation instantly surged.
“L-light… light on… I can’t breathe…”
“If I die, they won’t be able to escape either…”
With her life in Ye Cangtian’s hands, Gui Wu immediately gave up all resistance.
Fearing that Ye Cangtian would not be able to control his anger and kill her outright, she quickly reminded him.
“Hmph!”
Ye Cangtian snorted coldly, and with his other hand, he took out a Spirit Sealing Pill from his Qiankun Bag and threw it directly into Gui Wu’s mouth, forcing her to swallow it.
Only then did he toss Gui Wu aside.
Instantly feeling all her spiritual energy gone, Gui Wu’s face turned deathly pale. She knew this was a Spirit Sealing Pill, and she knew that this time, she wouldn’t be able to escape even if she had wings!
“Speak!”
“What backup plan did you set up! And where were Xin Wan and the others taken!”
Ye Cangtian’s cold voice came. Gui Wu’s mouth twitched. How would she know!
Seeing the killing intent in Ye Cangtian’s eyes growing stronger, Gui Wu knew that Ye Cangtian’s patience was running out. If she didn’t say something, she might never have a chance to speak again.
So, she looked at Ye Cangtian weakly and said in a small voice, “If… if I say I don’t know what’s going on, do you believe me?”
“What do you think!”
Killing intent flashed in Ye Cangtian’s eyes, and the Skull Dagger appeared in his hand.
His demeanor clearly conveyed that she had better tell the truth, and if she tried to deceive him again, he wouldn’t be polite.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t get excited!”
“I, Gui Wu, swear to heaven that if I tell a single lie, I will be sent to the eighteenth level of hell after I die…”
Seeing that Ye Cangtian didn’t believe her, Gui Wu could only make a poisonous oath in her helplessness.
Huh?
Ye Cangtian frowned. Judging by Gui Wu’s demeanor, she didn’t seem to be lying.
He pondered for a moment and said, “Tell me what you know, whatever you know!”
“Brother, I don’t know anything!”
Gui Wu muttered indignantly and continued, “I just said that specifically to force you to leave. I really don’t know who did it.”
After a pause, to gain his trust, Gui Wu continued, “You’re right, apart from the Viper Mercenary Group, the Ninja Clan has not allied with anyone, and I am the supreme commander of the operation…”
Gui Wu’s meaning was simple: she, the supreme commander, was captured, so what ability would she have to set up any backup plans! What backup plan could be more important than her own life!
Looking at Gui Wu’s anxious explanation, Ye Cangtian’s face darkened further.
There were too many forces lurking in the capital now. Besides the Ninja Clan and the Viper Mercenary Group, everyone else wanted him dead.
Even the smaller factions he had defeated were also suspects.
The people they had sent before were too few. There must be some remaining forces hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian couldn’t figure out which faction had made the move.
Unable to help himself, Ye Cangtian called Old Master Xu and explained the situation.
Upon hearing of Tang Xinwan’s predicament, Old Master Xu readily agreed to do his best to search for Tang Xinwan’s whereabouts.
After hanging up Old Xu’s call, he walked towards Gui Wu.
“Hey, hey, I’ve told you everything I can. You’re not going to kill me, are you? One must be righteous!”
Gui Wu looked at Ye Cangtian, filled with nervousness. It would be too unjust if she paid with her life for this matter.
Hmph!
Ye Cangtian snorted and said, “Come home with me!”
“…”
At these words, Gui Wu’s mouth twitched, and she quickly said, “Brother, I’ve already told you it wasn’t the Ninja Clan’s doing. Why are you still taking me back?”
“How do I know if what you’re saying is true or false?”
“Besides, you tried to assassinate me first. Is there anything wrong with me taking you captive? You should be grateful I didn’t kill you!”
Ye Cangtian glared at Gui Wu and said grimly.
He had considered killing Gui Wu, but now with Tang Xinwan’s incident, he hesitated and eventually gave up.
His only thought now was to rescue Tang Xinwan as quickly as possible. If other forces were to cause trouble at this time, it would only delay his rescue efforts.
Therefore, by keeping Gui Wu, at least the Ninja Clan and the Viper Mercenary Group would be stable for the next few days.
“I…”
Hearing Ye Cangtian’s words, Gui Wu was instantly rendered speechless and followed him away from the scene.
There was no other way. When you are under someone else’s roof, you have to bow your head.
Moreover, Ye Cangtian was in a bad mood right now, and she didn’t want to anger this harbinger of death.
…
Back at the villa.
Ye Cangtian immediately entered the villa. The villa was already empty. Ye Cangtian glanced at the scene. The scene was intact, with no signs of a struggle.
There were just many footprints.
This indicated that the visitors must have been experts. The strength of Gu Yue and Gu Qin was nothing in front of the other party.
“There’s a letter there!”
Seeing Ye Cangtian looking around aimlessly, searching for clues, Gui Wu reminded him helplessly. Didn’t he see the large envelope on the coffee table?
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian finally discovered the letter and quickly walked over to open it.
‘To the worm Ye Cangtian, a letter is left by order of the young master. We have taken the three chicks!’
‘After we have enjoyed ourselves, we will naturally tell you where to collect the corpses!’
‘Please remember my name, the future God of Slaughter, Mu!’
Gui Wu, who was looking at the letter with Ye Cangtian, couldn’t help but cover her mouth in surprise after reading the words.
It was the Sky Net organization!
“Young Master of Sky Net, Mu, I remember you!”
Ye Cangtian’s face was grim. These guys were too arrogant, not only did they kidnap Tang Xinwan and the other two, but they also dared to leave a letter to provoke him.
Although he was furious, Ye Cangtian still informed Old Master Xu of the situation immediately. At least this could narrow down the scope.
“Hey, aren’t you afraid this letter is fake, and someone is framing Sky Net?”
Gui Wu said with a hint of schadenfreude as she watched Ye Cangtian hang up the phone.
Ye Cangtian glanced at her and said coldly, “Does it matter if it’s true or false? If my woman gets hurt, everyone will die!”
Hearing him say this, Gui Wu couldn’t help but shiver. She could feel that Ye Cangtian was serious.
If Tang Xinwan were truly harmed in the slightest, not only Sky Net, but also she and everyone involved in this matter, would face endless pursuit from him.
Thinking of this, Gui Wu stopped speaking.
