These are all superficial phenomena. The true objective of the Bright Hall should be to seize the Chaos Seal.
Regarding the Chaos Seal, although Brandon and others might not be aware, Saint Guangyu certainly knows that the Chaos Seal has fallen into the hands of Ye Cangtian.
After all, Saint Guangyu possesses the Bright Seal, which allows him to confirm the locations of the Three Seals. Therefore, it is impossible to hide it from Saint Guangyu at this moment.
It is for this reason that Saint Guangyu intends to launch a war, as this is the only way to potentially seize the Three Seals.
Listening to Ye Cangtian's analysis, Dongfang Mingyue and Qiangwei nodded in silent agreement, without any objection.
But in the next moment, Dongfang Mingyue looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "You brat, you've been talking for so long, but you haven't explained why you would laugh when you heard that the Bright Hall was coming!"
Heh heh.
Ye Cangtian glanced at Dongfang Mingyue and smiled, "Sister Mingyue, Dracula is already dead, and the Bright Hall is left with only two Heavenly Realm powerhouses. Don't you think of anything with this information?"
Outwardly strong but inwardly weak!
Dongfang Mingyue suddenly understood, and the four characters "outwardly strong but inwardly weak" suddenly appeared in her mind.
Saint Guangyu had to guard the inner hall of the Bright Hall, and the Pope had to preside over the outer hall. Neither of them could spare their hands.
In addition, many elites of the Golden, Silver, and Bronze Knight Orders of the Bright Hall's inner palace were killed by Ye Cangtian.
Judging by this, the Bright Hall's offensive could not be very strong, or rather, it was only strong on the surface.
After a moment of silence, Dongfang Mingyue seemed to recall something and quickly said, "No, no, you almost misled me. The Bright Hall still has Consecrators! And the Consecrators in the inner hall are at least quasi-Heavenly Realm!"
"Heh heh, of course there are still Consecrators in the inner hall."
Ye Cangtian smiled, his smile becoming more and more sinister. He continued, "But what if these Consecrators are gone?"
"..."
Dongfang Mingyue was stunned for a moment and couldn't react.
A moment later, Dongfang Mingyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly said, "Are you saying that as long as these Consecrators are dealt with, the Bright Hall will be unable to continue, and we will usher in the dawn of peace?"
"Wrong!"
Ye Cangtian denied Dongfang Mingyue's statement concisely.
He looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, "My goal is not as simple as ushering in peace; I want to change the ruling of the Bright Hall!"
Ye Cangtian would naturally not be satisfied so easily.
The Bright Hall had wolfish ambitions. If it were to end like this, once they recovered their strength, they would certainly take action against Huaxia again.
That would be equivalent to releasing a tiger back into the mountains, with endless future troubles.
Therefore, he wanted to change the ruling; only by doing so would the period of peace be extended.
Moreover, the scheme he had laid for such a long time was also time to reap its true benefits...
"This..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Dongfang Mingyue and Qiangwei's eyes widened.
They never expected that Ye Cangtian would have such ambition!
And when they saw Ye Cangtian's confident expression, they fell silent. Perhaps this was not bragging; maybe it was truly possible!
Seeing the two women fall silent, Ye Cangtian changed the topic and said, "Sister Mingyue, Qiangwei has been training with you for a year, and it's time for her to go back and lead the team."
"Ai!"
Dongfang Mingyue sighed, a deep reluctance flashing in her eyes.
Qiangwei had indeed become her right-hand man over the past year, alleviating much of her burden.
But no matter how reluctant she was, she had to let go.
She also knew that Qiangwei was the captain of the Grim Reaper Squad and would have to return to lead the team sooner or later.
Moreover, a single person's strength was limited. If one could strengthen a team and bring out more powerhouses, then Huaxia's power would truly take off.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Mingyue took Qiangwei's hand and said, "Qiangwei, go. Longcheng will always be your home. Whenever you're tired, come back and rest. If there's anything you can't resolve, just notify your sister."
"Okay."
Qiangwei's voice was still clear and cold, but her eyes were flickering. It was evident that she was also very reluctant.
"Can you two stop acting like this? You're making me seem like a bad guy."
Ye Cangtian gave them both a glare, then looked at Qiangwei and said, "The future development of the Grim Reaper Squad depends on you. You need to consider it carefully..."
Hearing this, Qiangwei glanced at Ye Cangtian and nodded faintly.
She understood that the development Ye Cangtian spoke of was to choose between the Hidden Organization and the Dragon Organization. This was a difficult choice, but she had to face it.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian looked at Dongfang Mingyue again and said, "Sister Mingyue, the Hidden Organization will be handed over to you, Elder Long, and Lord Haotian. The external affairs will be handled by me."
He paused and continued, "By the way, if you have time, go to the Ghost City in the Dark Ruins. Senior Hongwu misses you very much but cannot escape."
Dongfang Mingyue nodded upon hearing this, "Wait until you've dealt with external affairs. Only then can I be at ease going to the Ghost City with the Hidden Organization handed over to you."
"Alright."
Ye Cangtian nodded and continued, "Then I won't say anymore. I'll set off with Qiangwei now. Take care, and I'll be back."
With that said, Ye Cangtian took Qiangwei, said goodbye to Medicine Saint and Yao Bao'er, brought Blue Moon along, and then left the Ghost City directly.
There was no other way; the battle had already begun ahead, and he had to reach the entrance of the ruins as quickly as possible.
...
Huaxia Capital.
In a seemingly luxurious and elegant teahouse, two teams of guards stood at the entrance.
These two guards wore different uniforms.
One team, at first glance, were clearly Chinese, while the other team consisted of golden-haired, blue-eyed individuals wearing black robes, acting as bishops.
And in the luxurious private room on the top floor of the teahouse, Xu Weiwei sat on the side, with Nancy and Gui Wu standing behind her.
Opposite them sat An Qiluo, a Consecrator from the Bright Hall's inner palace.
"An Qiluo, what is the meaning of your Bright Hall's intrusion into my capital?"
Xu Weiwei's face was grim as she questioned him.
"It's not an intrusion, at least not for now."
An Qiluo looked at Xu Weiwei, a mischievous smile appearing on his face.
He looked at Xu Weiwei, his expression changing, and said, "I wanted to inform you when I asked you to meet today. If Huaxia continues to disagree with us entering the ruins, then don't blame us for turning hostile!"
"Why do you want to enter the ruins!"
Xu Weiwei's eyes widened, and she continued, "I have already received news that the Bright Hall's squad members have left the ruins and should arrive at the Bright Hall soon."
"Hmph!"
An Qiluo snorted lightly and continued, "That's just your side of the story. In any case, as of now, the squad members have not arrived at the Bright Hall, and I have not received such news."
"That's your problem. You can't force us to open the ruins to you just because of your problem!" Xu Weiwei said contemptuously.
"I apologize, but this is the order I received."
"If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, then at the latest by tomorrow morning, a full-scale war will erupt at the entrance to the ruins."
"I believe Miss Weiwei wouldn't want to see rivers of blood flowing from both sides, would she!"
Regarding Xu Weiwei's statement, An Qiluo shrugged, showing a careless smile.
"Threats are useless against our Huaxia forces..."
Xu Weiwei's face turned cold upon hearing this, but before she could finish speaking, her phone rang.
Taking out her phone and glancing at it, seeing the familiar number, Xu Weiwei's heart suddenly surged with excitement.
This number belonged to Ye Cangtian.
"Excuse me, I need to take a call."
With that, Xu Weiwei left the room and went to a secluded spot before answering the phone.
"Weiwei, what's the situation in the capital?"
Ye Cangtian had already led his people to the entrance of the ruins and understood the situation there from Bai Zhenshan.
The people from the Bright Hall had been at the entrance for over ten days, but the other party had not attacked.
This made Bai Zhenshan and others confused, but they also dared not easily lead their troops to attack, fearing that they might fall into an ambush.
Upon hearing this situation, Ye Cangtian also found it somewhat peculiar, so he contacted Xu Weiwei to inquire about the situation in the capital.
On the other end of the phone, upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Xu Weiwei quickly said, "I am currently negotiating with people from the Bright Hall's inner palace. They still want to enter the ruins.
Moreover, if the negotiations break down this time, the Bright Hall is likely to launch an attack tomorrow morning..."
Xu Weiwei did not hide anything and simply explained the content of their recent conversation to Ye Cangtian.
"Has the Bright Hall been negotiating with you recently?"
Ye Cangtian asked after a moment of silence.
"No, they arranged to meet me yesterday. This is the first negotiation!" Xu Weiwei replied directly.
