On the other side, Ye Cangtian glanced at Old Master Xu and said, "Old Master, don't worry. It's not easy for people from Tianwang to infiltrate. I will notify the Death Squad."
"I hope so," Old Master Xu said helplessly.
Since things had already happened, there was no point in talking about it. They could only take things as they came.
"By the way, have the locations of the Guangming Hall, Ninbu, and other forces been locked down?"
Seeing that Old Master Xu was in a bad mood, Ye Cangtian quickly changed the subject, which was also the main reason for his visit.
The fact that forces like Guangming Hall and Ninbu were always hiding in the dark put him in a very passive position.
Therefore, he had to reverse the situation as much as possible and turn passive into active.
"We have only locked down the areas of activity of some small and medium-sized forces."
"As for Guangming Hall and Ninbu, we haven't found them yet, but it should be soon."
Old Master Xu stated that the Dragon Group's search had excluded most areas, and the remaining ones were being investigated one by one.
He believed that it wouldn't be long before major forces like Guangming Hall surfaced.
"Good, notify me immediately as soon as there is any news."
Ye Cangtian nodded. As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang.
As soon as the call was connected, Rose's voice came through.
"Boss, Viper has intercepted another important piece of information."
"Carol has requested reinforcements from Tianwang. He wants to lead troops with Guangming Hall to destroy Ninbu..."
Rose's voice came through, and Ye Cangtian immediately smiled.
"Rose, use your brain. Would Guangming Hall destroy Ninbu?"
"Besides, it was I who killed the young master of Tianwang. What does Ninbu have to do with it? If they want to destroy someone, it should be me!"
In Ye Cangtian's opinion, this piece of information had too many loopholes and was highly unreliable.
Moreover, Guangming Hall and the Dark Association had joined forces to destroy Ninbu, but they had ultimately betrayed each other.
If Tianwang wanted to follow the old path of the Dark Association this time, wouldn't that be repeating the same mistakes?
"Please, do you think you can escape?"
"It's just that in Carol's eyes, you are nothing more than an ant. Eliminating you is not difficult, so he didn't mention it..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Rose began to explain.
She then gave the real reason: in the intercepted message, Carol claimed that Ninbu had leaked the information about the young master of Tianwang.
Not only that, but Ninbu also intended to provoke the conflict between Guangming Hall and Tianwang, which completely angered Guangming Hall and Tianwang...
This...
Upon hearing such news, Ye Cangtian was speechless and froze on the spot.
How could he have imagined that in just one day, Carol would find Ninbu to be the one who leaked the information?
Thinking about it, Ninbu indeed had no reason to help him.
Then, given Ninbu's usual style, it could only be said that Ninbu wanted to destabilize the situation and provoke conflict, and Carol's analysis was not wrong.
With that in mind, Ye Cangtian responded and hung up the phone.
He walked up to Old Master Xu and relayed the information he had received, then said, "Old Master, what do you think we should do about this?"
"Do you still need to ask me?"
Old Master Xu said impatiently. He knew Ye Cangtian's capabilities and that handling such problems was not a problem for him.
"Alas..."
Ye Cangtian had to admit that he was a bit troubled.
Logically speaking, it would be best for him to sit back and watch the tigers fight, letting Tianwang and Ninbu wear each other down and reaping the benefits. That would be the best strategy.
However, if this matter escalated, Ninbu would naturally investigate the reason, and then Guiwu would be in danger.
And Guiwu was helping him, although Guiwu had another purpose, which was to get him to release her.
But Ye Cangtian had a personality of returning a favor tenfold for any kindness shown.
Therefore, he absolutely did not want Guiwu to be implicated.
Alas!
In the end, Ye Cangtian sighed. He could only take things one step at a time.
On the other side, seeing Ye Cangtian silent, Old Master Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Kid, don't be too aggressive. Be more lenient with those small and medium-sized forces."
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian looked at Old Master Xu doubtfully and said, "Hmm? Old Master, what evil plan are you brewing again!"
"How can you speak like that!"
"Is it easy for those small and medium-sized forces to accumulate some wealth?"
"If you wiped them all out, not only would you get yourself into trouble, but you would also leave them with nothing to defend themselves in the future. Isn't that unreasonable?"
Old Master Xu glared at Ye Cangtian impatiently.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian instantly understood what he meant. Clearly, this was aimed at Guangming Hall.
If Guangming Hall could not heavily damage the Chinese forces in this operation, they would definitely turn their attention to those small and medium-sized forces.
And if he could capture those who came from the sects and release them when Guangming Hall made their move, it would undoubtedly put considerable pressure on Guangming Hall.
At that time, Guangming Hall would face two choices.
First, abandon the small and medium-sized forces, in which case their mission would be a complete failure.
Second, they would have to pay a higher price to regain control of these small forces, which might not be worth the effort and would also earn them a bad reputation for breaking promises.
"Old man, you are still so insidious!"
With that thought, Ye Cangtian gave Old Master Xu a thumbs up.
...
In the following days, battles frequently broke out in the dark corners of the capital.
Ye Cangtian was only dealing with minor skirmishes, with various small and medium-sized forces attempting to assassinate him at the villa.
The numbers varied, with fewer than a dozen to twenty people, and more than fifty to sixty people.
Ye Cangtian did not kill these forces, but instead sent them all to Tianzi No. 1.
He only kept the captains among them in the separate courtyard to serve as laborers.
On one hand, this was to inform other forces that they should consider the consequences before taking action.
On the other hand, the separate courtyard often experienced battles, which caused damage to the environment and indeed required people to repair it, otherwise, it would affect the mood.
...
While Ye Cangtian's side was relatively peaceful, other parts of the capital presented a completely different scene.
According to news from various sources, several forces seemed to be in chaos.
Both Ninbu and Tianwang had suffered considerable casualties.
For a time, they seemed to have forgotten the true objective of their operation, and no one paid any attention to Ye Cangtian.
Ye Cangtian was also quite puzzled by this. Later, he discussed it with Old Master Xu.
The answer given by Old Master Xu was basically the same as what Rose had said: they did not take him seriously.
Both Ninbu and Tianwang had Earth-level experts stationed there. Before Ye Cangtian's strength was exposed, they naturally did not take him seriously.
Therefore, they were not in a hurry to eliminate Ye Cangtian, but rather saw each other as opponents and wanted to determine a winner.
Another possibility was that this was China, and the Dragon Group and Hidden Group would surely have made preparations.
If they had eliminated Ye Cangtian first, they might have suffered devastating blows, and then they would not have been able to determine a winner.
Ye Cangtian was somewhat speechless about this, but he didn't say anything.
What he was thinking about now was how to get Guangming Hall involved, and prevent Guangming Hall from continuously preserving its strength and sitting back to watch the fight.
With that in mind, Ye Cangtian went to the Sitong Hotel in the dead of night.
