Haha...
Upon hearing this, Haotian stepped forward and patted Ye Cangtian on the shoulder, saying, "Kid, you're right, Old Long is our hidden group's trump card, and he can't be exposed easily!"
"Kid, I disagree!"
Old Long glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian and said, "My existence is primarily to deal with the forces within the ruins. As for the external forces, it doesn't matter if they know about my existence or not!"
"No!"
Ye Cangtian waved his hand and said, "There is a connection between the outside world and the ruins. If you expose your strength in the outside world, someone within the ruins will surely know, and it will be meaningless to conceal your cultivation then."
"This..."
Old Long fell silent at his words, unable to find a better argument for a moment.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian chuckled and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Old Long, consider it a favor owed. After we get back, I'll get you some ruin sturgeon, and we can have a good drink then?"
Upon hearing this, Old Long's eyes immediately lit up.
He glared at Ye Cangtian exasperatedly and said, "You scoundrel, you've got me! I'll give you face this time..."
Seeing that Old Long had agreed, Ye Cangtian thanked him and quickly prepared a banquet to welcome the two seniors.
...
The sun rose again.
Early in the morning, Ye Cangtian arrived at the family compound and directly woke Xu Weiwei from her sleep.
Xu Weiwei felt helpless about this.
In terms of diligence, she definitely couldn't compare to Ye Cangtian, and in terms of status, she was also far behind.
Now that Ye Cangtian could get up early, and she couldn't argue with him, she could only reluctantly endure it.
Seeing that Xu Weiwei didn't erupt in anger or complain, Ye Cangtian got straight to the point and said, "Send a message to the Temple of Light. Three days from now, I will head to Light City. Have them make preparations to receive me."
"Are the arrangements all set?"
When Xu Weiwei heard this, she immediately perked up. She looked deeply at Ye Cangtian and asked only one question.
She knew in her heart that no matter how worried she was about Ye Cangtian, she couldn't stop him.
Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "Everything is ready..."
Hearing this, Xu Weiwei nodded lightly and quickly contacted Keisha, relaying the instructions.
Not long after, Keisha appeared before Xu Weiwei.
"Miss Weiwei, the Temple of Light has replied. They are awaiting Mr. Ye's arrival at any time and have made all the necessary arrangements for his reception..."
Upon hearing this news, Xu Weiwei looked at Ye Cangtian. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a confident smile on his face.
In an instant, she swallowed all the worried instructions she had intended to give.
Meanwhile, Ye Cangtian looked at Xu Weiwei, hesitated for a long time, then slowly stepped forward and bent down.
"..."
As Ye Cangtian's face drew closer, two rosy clouds rose on Xu Weiwei's cheeks, and she shyly closed her eyes.
But at this moment, a sound like a buzzing fly reached her ears.
"I have left contingencies in the capital. After I leave, if any changes occur in the capital, you can contact him."
"Remember his identity. If it's possible not to expose it, try not to..."
"..."
Hearing the voice, Xu Weiwei was slightly stunned, then opened her eyes. But the person in front of her had already left, leaving only Keisha behind.
Bastard! Is this considered teasing...
Xu Weiwei looked at the empty doorway and stamped her foot fiercely in her heart.
...
Three days later, at the airport in Light City.
As a plane from China landed on the runway.
The members of the Temple of Light waiting at the airport immediately stood in two rows, respectfully awaiting the opening of the cabin door.
Creak!
A slight sound was heard, the cabin door opened, and two figures emerged, a man and a woman.
The man was dressed in a white suit and looked vigorous. The woman wore a black dress and appeared like a bodyguard, following behind the man.
Seeing the man and woman in front of him, Hasal, who was responsible for the reception, was stunned.
He truly had guts!
Ye Cangtian was bringing fewer and fewer people with him. This time, he only brought Rose.
Thinking this, Hasal quickly stepped forward and presented the bouquet of flowers with both hands.
"Welcome Mr. Ye and Ms. Rose to Light City."
As he spoke, Hasal looked at Ye Cangtian and gave him a meaningful glance.
Sensing Hasal's look, Ye Cangtian immediately understood.
Hasal had previously sent him a message that Saint Guangyu had arrived at the outer hall of Light City and advised him to be prepared.
Now that he saw only two people, Hasal was likely worried.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian glanced at him and said, "It is my honor to be invited to Light City again."
While saying these pleasantries, Ye Cangtian signaled Hasal with his eyes, telling him not to be nervous.
Seeing this, Hasal relaxed. Ye Cangtian's demeanor indicated that he had other plans.
The next moment, Hasal smiled and said, "Mr. Ye is famous, and many new friends wish to witness your demeanor. Many old friends have also come to welcome you..."
As he spoke, Hasal stepped aside, revealing a line of powerful individuals from various factions holding bouquets of flowers behind him.
Old friends?
Ye Cangtian glanced at the crowd in front of him, a smile appearing on his face.
Among the people present, apart from some wearing golden masks, the rest were unfamiliar faces.
Those wearing golden masks were all Earth-level deacons of the Dark Association.
However, none of them were people Ye Cangtian was familiar with. They were likely newly promoted members of the Dark Association, and calling them old friends was a bit of a stretch.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian waved his hand at the crowd and said, "Thank you all for coming to greet me personally. Thank you, thank you."
Hmph!
As the words fell, a light snort was heard, and in an instant, a middle-aged man stepped forward.
The middle-aged man was over two meters tall, with a sturdy build and eyes as large as ox eyes, exuding an extraordinary aura.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Raelf, from the Titan family, an aristocratic family that lives in seclusion within the Light Ruins."
"I am not here to welcome you, but I heard you are very strong, so I came specifically to witness it."
Raelf looked down slightly, with a hint of disdain, at Ye Cangtian.
Recently, there had been widespread rumors about Ye Cangtian within the Light Ruins, which had attracted his attention.
Now, being invited to the Temple of Light, he had the opportunity to encounter the legendary Ye Cangtian, and he wanted to see if Ye Cangtian was truly as formidable as rumored.
"Hmm?"
Hearing the other party's introduction, Ye Cangtian frowned slightly.
The Temple of Light had really pulled out all the stops this time!
They had even brought out the aristocratic families living in seclusion within the Light Ruins. It seemed that the Temple of Light's plan was far from simple this time!
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian glanced at the man and said with a smile, "Raelf, is it? You want to witness my strength, that's fine, but I'm afraid it's not the right time!"
"Why?" Raelf asked.
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and continued, "Look, so many people are here. If you delay their time, it might not be appropriate. Moreover, I believe the Pope has other arrangements at the Temple of Light."
"It's fine, we'll just spar a little, it won't take long. I believe everyone will be willing to wait."
As he spoke, Raelf glanced at the people around him and asked, "Everyone, would you allow me to exchange blows with Ye Cangtian?"
"Naturally!"
"Of course, we also want to see what kind of existence the legendary Mr. Ye is..."
The people around immediately cupped their hands in response.
Seeing this, Raelf's face showed a smug smile, and he then turned to look at Ye Cangtian.
Looking at the reactions of the crowd, Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow. These people all wanted to see his strength, which meant they were not to be trifled with!
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian looked at Raelf and said calmly, "Since no one has any objections, I naturally have none either. However, I hope it will be a controlled spar, and we can conclude it quickly."
"Agreed, I will resolve the battle as quickly as possible."
Raelf nodded upon hearing this, a cold smile appearing on his face.
Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, the surrounding people immediately cleared a space in the center.
With that, Ye Cangtian and Raelf slowly walked to the center of the arena and bowed to each other.
The next moment, Raelf's expression changed. He suddenly shook his hand, and a large black gauntlet instantly appeared on his hand, looking incredibly powerful.
Then, Raelf let out a roar and charged at Ye Cangtian.
The black fist instantly turned into a black cannonball and slammed towards Ye Cangtian's chest.
With this punch, everyone around gasped in shock, drawing in cold breaths.
There were no fancy moves, only brute force and speed.
