"You have colluded with the Huaxia forces behind our backs!"
"It seems you have forgotten that your roots still lie within the Bright Relic!"
Seeing about half of the people present walk towards Ye Cangtian, Guang Yu's face turned completely cold, his eyes flashing with intense killing intent.
Previously, he could afford to disregard these people, but with the current critical situation, he would never agree to them becoming his stumbling blocks.
"Guang Yu, what do you mean? You intend to make a move against us?"
"Do you really think of us as mere cats and dogs, to be dealt with as you please?"
"Guang Yu, you should know that if we unite, we are also a considerable force..."
Upon hearing Guang Yu's words, Emerson and his faction's expressions immediately darkened.
They had also struggled in the Bright Relic for many years; how could they be intimidated by a few words from Guang Yu?
"Heh heh, what you all say is correct, your combined strength is not weak!"
Guang Yu smiled faintly, sweeping his gaze across the crowd, then his expression turned grim. "But I want to ask you, if all of you die here, how much strength will your families and factions behind you have left?"
"This..."
Hearing this, Emerson and the others' expressions changed again. If the Bright Hall were to emerge victorious, they genuinely worried about retribution.
The next moment, someone stepped forward and said, "Guang Yu, you don't need to be so overbearing. We are not your enemies; we are merely neutral."
"Hmph! There is no neutrality in my book!"
Guang Yu snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on the person who had stepped forward, and said sternly, "Either you stand with the Bright Hall, or you are an enemy of the Bright Hall."
"This..."
With no retreat, Emerson and the others' gazes instantly focused on Ye Cangtian, hoping to see if he had a solution.
Guang Yu's overbearing attitude made them see the true face of the Bright Hall even more clearly, thus making them even less willing to cooperate.
Sensing the gazes of everyone, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, looked at Guang Yu, and said with a faint smile, "Guang Yu, it's not good to force others. Besides, the one you want to keep here is me, what does it have to do with them?"
"You are correct, the one I want to keep is you. But while keeping you, eliminating some people who don't know their place is also not a bad idea!"
Guang Yu looked at Ye Cangtian and said coldly.
Now that he had already drawn a line with the Huaxia forces, there was no need for him to continue pretending. It was better to tear off the mask directly.
"Many have tried to keep me, but I am still alive, and those people are in the underworld!"
Saying this, Ye Cangtian lit a cigarette, took a couple of puffs, and continued, "I want to ask, is the Bright Hall prepared for this?"
"Of course, we are prepared."
Guang Yu chuckled coldly and continued, "Ye Cangtian, do you not think that because the situation is not significantly disadvantageous now, you can laugh until the end?"
"Whatever moves you have, just show them."
Ye Cangtian directly made a gesture of invitation and then said no more, waiting quietly.
"Good, very good!"
"I also believe that wasting any more words is a waste of time. Let's reveal our trump cards now!"
Looking at Ye Cangtian's actions, Guang Yu sneered and then loudly declared, "Someone, go inform Elino and the others to come to the Bright Hall immediately!"
As the voice fell, a guard immediately responded and left the hall.
Ye Cangtian revealed a faint cold smile, ignoring it.
On the other side, seeing Ye Cangtian still incredibly calm, Guang Yu's expression darkened slightly and said, "Ye Cangtian, I advise you to surrender now. You have no chance of winning!
You must know that Elino and the others are leading the three great knight orders of the Bright Inner Hall. No matter how strong you are, you cannot fight against overwhelming numbers!"
This statement caused those who supported Ye Cangtian to immediately become nervous.
Few present were unaware of the formidable reputation of the Bright Hall's three great knight orders.
The reason why the Bright Hall could rule the Bright Relic was precisely because of the existence of these three knight orders.
Now that Guang Yu had summoned all three knight orders, if a conflict were to erupt, they would likely find it difficult to retreat unscathed.
"Guang Yu, do you think I'm easily scared?"
"The elites of the three great knight orders have basically been killed by me. How much combat power can they retain?"
"Besides, you say you can contact them, but can you actually contact them?"
On the other side, Ye Cangtian exhaled two smoke rings, his face filled with disdain.
Huh?
Upon hearing this, Guang Yu immediately burst into laughter and said, "Ye Cangtian, I thought you had sobered up after getting drunk when you came here, but why are you still so idiotic!"
After a pause, Guang Yu continued, "This is the Bright Hall, on my territory. You say I cannot contact my subordinates?"
"We can wait and see!" Ye Cangtian smiled faintly, offering no further explanation.
Before coming here, Ye Cangtian had already informed Viper to activate the jamming system. He did not believe the Bright Hall could break through it in a short time.
"Fine, I'll see what you can do..."
Guang Yu snorted coldly, but before he could finish, a figure rushed in hastily, the same guard who had left earlier.
The guard directly approached Guang Yu and respectfully said, "Sir, this is bad. All communication equipment has been jammed. We cannot temporarily contact the knight orders outside or the Cardinal Bishops of the outer hall..."
"..."
Upon hearing this news, Guang Yu's face instantly turned red, and a burning sensation spread from his scalp.
He had just claimed this was his territory, and now he couldn't contact his own people. This was truly a slap in the face!
The next moment, he looked at the guard furiously and roared, "Idiot, are you a pig? If you can't contact them, won't you send someone to contact them?"
"Yes, your subordinate will go and contact them now." The guard quickly responded and then left the hall.
Ye Cangtian did not stop him.
There was no point in stopping them. There were so many people in the Bright Hall; he couldn't possibly stop every single one.
And now that they were going to notify, it would take some time for the knight order's reinforcements to arrive, which was enough.
"Guang Yu, your trump card is likely unusable in the short term."
"Do you have any other trump cards?"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's smug smile, Guang Yu immediately understood that the inability to contact his subordinates was likely Ye Cangtian's doing.
Thinking of this, he snorted disdainfully, "You only know how to play petty tricks, truly beneath my contempt! However, with just these, do you think you can walk out of here alive?"
After a pause, Guang Yu's eyes were filled with killing intent. "Let me tell you, Ye Cangtian, the only way you can walk out of here today is if you hand over the three great seals!"
"Too much nonsense. If you have the ability, just come at me. We'll settle this with our hands!"
Ye Cangtian snorted lightly, his eyes filled with intense disdain.
"Good, I will fulfill your wish today!"
Saying this, Guang Yu glanced at the people standing on his side and said, "Now is the time for you to act. Whoever can kill Ye Cangtian will receive all the benefits!"
"Kill!"
As the voice fell, the eyes of the people in front of Guang Yu instantly flashed with sharp light.
The next moment, they let out earth-shattering battle cries and charged towards Ye Cangtian.
After all, the factions standing with Ye Cangtian had just declared their stance of remaining neutral.
Now, it was just Ye Cangtian, Qiang Wei, and Gui Wu, three women. Their side comprised at least twenty to thirty people.
At least half of them were quasi-heavenly realm experts, and the rest had at least earthly realm cultivation.
They did not believe that so many people could not take down Ye Cangtian and the three women.
Seeing them charge forward, Ye Cangtian brought his hand to his mouth and whistled.
The sound spread, and within an instant, a tiger's roar was heard, followed by a huge black figure blocking their path.
It was the Netherworld Hunting Tiger. It had followed Gui Wu and had been lurking near the Bright Hall recently. Hearing Ye Cangtian's call, it revealed itself immediately.
"This..."
Looking at the Netherworld Hunting Tiger, which was several meters tall, all the factions involuntarily gasped.
They were not unfamiliar with the Netherworld Hunting Tiger; it was a beast whose defense and offense were both terrifying.
With so many of them, without formidable weapons, they would likely have to pay a heavy price to kill the Netherworld Hunting Tiger.
It was precisely because the price was too heavy that no one was willing to step forward.
