"A good treasure?"
Ye Cangtian cast a questioning glance. However, when he saw the treasure Lan Yue produced, he was stunned.
It was a meteor hammer, and it looked quite powerful, a decent weapon.
But compared to the weapons obtained from the Canglan Immortal Palace, it was simply trash.
In such a situation, Lan Yue still claimed it was a treasure, which truly baffled Ye Cangtian.
After all, Lan Yue was not someone inexperienced!
Most importantly, the Death Squad and Lan Yue's group couldn't use meteor hammers at all, so obtaining them would be useless!
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian looked at Lan Yue and said, "Sister, are you intentionally toying with me? Can this be considered a treasure? If you need them, I can easily produce ten or eight of them."
Hmph!
Lan Yue snorted softly, glared at him, and said irritably, "Then show me a hundred or a thousand of them!"
Huh?
Ye Cangtian was taken aback by her words. While the quality of this meteor hammer was not high, it wasn't something that could be obtained easily.
Even though he had swept through many secret realms, the survival rate of such weapons was actually quite low. Where would he get so many weapons?
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian looked at her doubtfully and said, "Sister, I don't understand what you're saying."
Hmph!
Lan Yue snorted again and said, "You're usually so sharp, but now you're completely lost. If I were to equip the guards of the Hidden Group with weapons of this type, what do you think would happen?"
Hmm?
At her words, Ye Cangtian was first stunned, then his eyes lit up.
If the guards of the Hidden Group could be equipped with such weapons, their overall strength would definitely surge significantly!
With this in mind, Ye Cangtian glanced at her again and said, "Sister, I understand what you mean, but which force can provide so many weapons!"
Lan Yue pointed to the mark on the sword hilt. Ye Cangtian looked where she pointed.
It was the emblem of two crossed swords and a shield. Seeing this, Ye Cangtian felt a sense of familiarity.
In the next moment, Ye Cangtian recalled that this mark was the emblem of the Bing Jia Lou (Weapon and Armor Pavilion).
And Bing Jia Lou was precisely the force Chen Yi had intended to target before.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian quickly looked and asked, "Sister, have you found people from Bing Jia Lou, or just their forged weapons?"
"Of course, I found their people!"
Lan Yue glared at him dismissively and said, "What's the use of just finding this weapon?"
Lan Yue stated that she was so excited because she had found people from Bing Jia Lou. As long as they cooperated with Bing Jia Lou, not only weapons but also armor and accessories could be crafted.
This way, the combat power of the Hidden Group's guards should be able to rival that of disciples from peak forces.
Listening to Lan Yue's words, Ye Cangtian's eyes became even brighter.
If the cooperation were successful, the Hidden Group's guards could catch up to the disciples of peak forces in a short period.
And as time went on, the strength of the Hidden Group's guards still had room for improvement.
In that case, it wouldn't be impossible for their strength to surpass that of peak force disciples.
"By the way, Sister, Bing Jia Lou wasn't participating in the Peak Competition. Where did you find their people?" Ye Cangtian asked again.
"Chixia Island!"
Lan Yue smiled slightly and then said, "I learned that Chixia Island was one of the forces that survived in the Mustard Seed Space, so I thought they must have treasures, and I went to find them..."
Lan Yue explained that she originally just wanted to see what treasures Chixia Island had obtained in the Mustard Seed Space, so she could trade for them.
However, when she took out some rare ores, the other party's eyes became unusually eager.
Then, Wei Xiaofeng of Chixia Island revealed his identity.
Due to the past fame of Bing Jia Lou, many forces had targeted them, which forced Bing Jia Lou to relocate.
Finally, Bing Jia Lou found an isolated island overseas, which was Chixia Island.
To avoid future disturbances, Bing Jia Lou was officially renamed Chixia Island, and Wei Xiaofeng was the young island master of Chixia Island.
Heh.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but show a wry smile. He wondered why he hadn't gathered any news about Bing Jia Lou. It turned out they had already been renamed Chixia Island!
And now, it seemed that Wei Xiaofeng's seemingly wealthy and powerful appearance was not surprising.
After all, Bing Jia Lou had forged weapons for others in the past, and they must have collected a considerable amount of treasures and funds.
"You can handle the cooperation with Chixia Island as you see fit, Sister."
After a pause, Ye Cangtian spoke again, "Sister, I need you to do me a favor. Go back to the Hidden Group and bring Xueqi and Bingyao here."
Huh?
Lan Yue was immediately confused. According to Ye Cangtian's usual temperament, the Hidden Group already had enough people; they didn't need Xueqi and Bingyao at this time.
Thinking this, she said, "Junior brother, Xueqi and Bingyao are currently in seclusion. If it's not urgent, it's better not to disturb them!"
"This matter would be difficult for anyone else to handle."
Ye Cangtian chuckled bitterly and then said, "Qin Cang, who is acting as the peak master of Xuefeng, harbors deep resentment towards the Hidden Group. I plan to take over Xuefeng..."
Ye Cangtian stated that if Qin Cang had honestly developed Xuefeng after taking over and maintained a distance from the Hidden Group, he would not have had this idea.
But everything did not go as he wished. Even though he had given Qin Cang a chance, he still couldn't resolve Qin Cang's resentment.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian planned to take over Xuefeng, and the most suitable people to manage Xuefeng would naturally be Xueqi and Bingyao.
After all, they were from Xuefeng and had been disciples of the peak master.
Hearing Ye Cangtian's explanation, Lan Yue nodded and said, "Indeed, Xueqi and Bingyao are the best candidates for this matter. Alright, I'll go back and bring them over."
Ye Cangtian nodded, then summoned Kong Kong and asked him to assist Lan Yue.
...
Feiyun Inn.
After returning from Yan Yu Lou, Qin Cang came directly here.
When Hun San saw Qin Cang, the anger on his face intensified. If not for the disciples of Xuefeng and other forces today, how could he have lost to Ye Cangtian?
How could he have given up two treasures?
"Why are you still here?" Hun San questioned.
Seeing the other party's gloomy expression, Qin Cang quickly stepped forward and said, "What happened today was due to my improper handling. I hope Lord Hun San will forgive me."
"Easy for you to say! What about the losses incurred by Feiyun Pavilion!" Hun San said gloomily.
Qin Cang quickly replied, "Lord Hun San, the losses of Feiyun Pavilion were not solely caused by our Xuefeng. Huang Shan and Tian Yuan Sect also made mistakes, so it's not appropriate for us to bear the losses!"
Seeing Hun San's gaze darken, Qin Cang added, "My lord, please calm down. Listen to me. I am willing to lead Xuefeng and follow the footsteps of Feiyun Pavilion!"
Hmm?
Upon hearing this, Hun San's expression softened. Having lost two treasures, gaining the allegiance of Xuefeng was a profitable deal in itself.
Thinking this, he looked at Qin Cang and said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. State your conditions."
"My lord is truly straightforward!"
Qin Cang smiled faintly and then said, "Actually, my requirements are very simple, only two in total."
Qin Cang stated that his greatest requirement was for Feiyun Pavilion to support him in solidifying his position as peak master.
In addition, he wanted Feiyun Pavilion to act on his behalf and kill Ye Cangtian.
"Good! It's possible. I can agree to these two conditions on behalf of the Pavilion Master!"
Hearing Qin Cang's conditions, Hun San's face immediately broke into a smile. The other party's conditions were not a problem in his eyes.
Feiyun Pavilion was a peak force. With Qin Cang supported as peak master, who among the Xuefeng disciples would dare to disobey?
As for killing Ye Cangtian, that was even less of a problem, because even without Qin Cang, Feiyun Pavilion would not let Ye Cangtian go.
On the other side, seeing Hun San agree, Qin Cang quickly cupped his hands in a salute and said, "Lord Hun San, I will rely on your care from now on! Rest assured, if you have any instructions, Xuefeng will go all out!"
"Hahaha, good!"
Hun San laughed heartily, patted the other party's shoulder, and said, "You can rest assured too. You will definitely be glad for the choice you made today.
When Feiyun Pavilion dominates the world, what you can control will be more than just one Xuefeng!"
"Thank you! Xuefeng will definitely do its utmost for Feiyun Pavilion's great cause!"
Qin Cang cupped his hands in a salute, a look of excitement in his eyes.
Hearing that Feiyun Pavilion was going to dominate the world, he was even more convinced that following Feiyun Pavilion was the correct choice.
Thinking this, he began to discuss with Hun San how to deal with the Hidden Group...
