Ye Cangtian looked at the other party and said, "If you are loyal to Dongfang Mingyue, you should trust me. She has handed over the Hidden Group to me to manage. Do you still have anything to doubt?"
"Besides, if I really wanted to frame you, do you think you would only have superficial wounds now?"
Uh...
Upon hearing this, Ding Quan fell silent. After a moment, he spoke, "Alright, I believe you. I don't know if Lord Ye has any arrangements for me?"
"To be honest, I came this time to give you peace of mind."
"And to have you cooperate with me in a play."
"It's simple. You just need to insist that you know nothing, continue to curse at me, and endure those superficial wounds. I will handle everything else."
Ye Cangtian stepped forward and said calmly.
Ding Quan listened and his eyes darted around. He then looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Lord Ye, you don't need to tell me about this, do you? Because even if you didn't say anything, I would still do it.
If you tell me, and I mess up, I might ruin your plan!"
"You are correct."
Ye Cangtian glanced approvingly at Ding Quan and continued, "If the culprit were someone else, I might not notify you, but since the culprit is between Cai Yong and Kang Shan, there's no harm in telling you..."
At this point, Ye Cangtian's voice abruptly stopped. The sounds of a struggle could be heard from inside.
The next moment, a cold smile appeared on Ye Cangtian's face, and he muttered, "It seems everything is simpler than I imagined!"
The sounds came from outside, and they were clearly heading towards the prison. Thus, the people coming could only be from the Five Poisons Sect.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian glanced at Ding Quan and said, "You stay here. Perhaps there will be results soon."
Saying this, without waiting for a reply, Ye Cangtian flashed and left the prison directly.
Outside the prison.
At the moment, outside the prison, all the guards were in disarray. They held their weapons and swung them wildly, chopping at the countless venomous insects surrounding them.
"The superiors said the Hidden Group's prison is heavily guarded, and that we should be extra careful. I see it's nothing special!"
"Yes, yes. They can't even deal with these venomous insects. It's truly disappointing..."
Opposite the guards stood four black figures.
Seeing the guards' flustered performance, they were utterly contemptuous.
This was completely different from the description from above! Completing this task was not difficult at all!
"I said the prison should be cleaned regularly. Look at all these nasty bugs it's attracted..."
As a loud voice echoed, the conversation of the four black-clothed men came to an abrupt halt. They looked towards the approaching man.
"Brother, doesn't he look a bit like Ye Cangtian?"
"Don't scare me. Why would Ye Cangtian be running to the dungeon for no reason?"
"Damn it! He really does look a bit like him!"
"Let's test him to see if it's Ye Cangtian!"
Upon seeing Ye Cangtian, the four black-clothed men couldn't help but whisper amongst themselves.
As they spoke, the four of them released another batch of venomous insects.
"Heh, you have quite the guts to attack me!"
Seeing the swarm of venomous insects charging forward, Ye Cangtian sneered and waved his hand. A wave of energy spread outwards.
Wherever the energy wave passed, even the venomous insects around the guards were directly annihilated.
This...
Seeing this, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the four black-clothed men. Only a Heavenly-tier expert could channel spiritual energy through their bodies.
Combined with that slightly familiar face, the person in front of them could only be Ye Cangtian.
"Hey, hey, hey, weren't you supposed to force your way into the dungeon?"
"Why are you standing there? Hurry up and make your move..."
On the other side, seeing the four black-clothed men frozen in fear, Ye Cangtian sneered and beckoned them with his finger.
Seeing this, the four men exchanged glances, as if they had made a decision.
The next moment, the four of them fled in four different directions in panic.
The superiors had already instructed them that if they couldn't kill Ding Quan, or if the situation escalated, they should find a way to retreat and no longer worry about the mission.
"Heh, you've seen me, and you still want to escape? Don't you think you're looking down on me too much?"
Seeing the four men fleeing, Ye Cangtian laughed and waved his hand. Four consecutive energy blades were launched.
*Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!*
In an instant, four sounds pierced through the air. The energy blades struck the four men fiercely, sending them crashing to the ground, spitting blood.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian waved his hand, signaling the guards to take them into the dungeon.
Before making a move, Ye Cangtian had already sensed their aura. They were only at the peak of the Profound Realm cultivation. Therefore, he deliberately stayed behind and only crippled their cultivation.
The purpose was obvious: he wanted to reveal his identity and directly expose the people of the Five Poisons Sect!
The surrounding guards, seeing the four men heavily injured, rushed forward without a word and escorted the four into the prison.
After a short while, Ye Cangtian entered the prison.
Facing the four black-clothed men, Ye Cangtian slowly spoke, "Confess and be lenient, resist and be severely punished. Whoever speaks up first, I might spare his life!"
*Hmph!*
A cold snort was heard. One of them stood up, looked coldly at Ye Cangtian, and said angrily, "Ye Cangtian, who do you think you're looking down on? Do you think we are people who fear death?"
"Heh, you've got some backbone. I hope you can provide food and lodging, and still be like this later!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian glanced at the other three and continued, "Don't rush to refuse. I'll give you ten seconds to consider, and then answer me!"
Ten seconds?
The four black-clothed men looked at each other in surprise. How could they weigh the pros and cons in such a short time? It would be better not to give it at all!
In the blink of an eye, ten seconds passed.
Ye Cangtian looked at the four men again and said indifferently, "Gentlemen, time is up. What is your choice?"
The tall man who had spoken earlier sneered and said, "Ye Cangtian, I'll say it again, don't underestimate the Five Poisons Sect!"
Seeing the resolute man, the other three nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian smiled coldly and said, "Very well, let's start with you!"
As he spoke, the Heavenly Eye on Ye Cangtian's forehead lit up, and a soul force shot directly at the man.
In an instant, the man fell to the ground, writhing and wailing.
Seeing the man's miserable state, the faces of the other three turned deathly pale.
They didn't understand what Ye Cangtian had done to their companion, causing him such pain that he was self-harming in such a short time.
After about five or six seconds, the man finally recovered.
Upon seeing Ye Cangtian again, the arrogance and ferocity in his eyes completely vanished, replaced by boundless fear.
At the sight of Ye Cangtian, he scrambled and retreated to a corner.
