Dongfang Mingyue gritted her teeth, feeling that Ye Cangtian was deliberately provoking her tonight. After all, he couldn't possibly not understand these principles.
Because of this, she was so furious her teeth itched, wishing she could beat him soundly.
"Sigh! Why don't you believe me yet?"
Ye Cangtian sighed, then chuckled mischievously and said, "Alright, I'll tell you some explosive news. The Dark Association's Luoluo Huangshan are actually the Tang Qingshan couple..."
What!
Dongfang Mingyue's eyes widened instantly, her gaze filled with disbelief.
She had always thought the Tang Qingshan couple were dead, never expecting them to have infiltrated the Dark Association.
The next moment, she looked at Ye Cangtian and asked, "What exactly is going on?"
"This is a long story. Simply put, evil is a yard high, and the Dao is a zhang high!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at her and saw Dongfang Mingyue frowning, clearly not convinced.
He fell silent for a moment, then continued, "Never mind, I didn't want to tell you, fearing you'd get agitated, but now it seems I have to. However, you must promise me to remain calm."
"What do you mean? What happened?"
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's tone, an inexplicable sense of foreboding washed over Dongfang Mingyue, and she quickly asked.
Ye Cangtian glanced at her, ignoring her expression, and directly said, "Listen to my command, take a deep breath..."
"You punk, are you looking for a beating? How dare you tease me! Believe it or not, I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's smiling face, Dongfang Mingyue instantly flew into a rage.
In her entire life, no one had dared to tease her!
Enraged, she immediately swung her fist towards Ye Cangtian.
"Stop! Do you want to hear this or not!"
Just as Dongfang Mingyue's fist reached Ye Cangtian, his voice reached her ears. In an instant, Dongfang Mingyue stopped her punch.
She glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian, as if warning him that if he couldn't tell her anything, she wouldn't hold back.
Looking at the fierce Dongfang Mingyue, Ye Cangtian sighed and said, "Alas, I'll tell you. The entire upper echelon of the Dark Association are our people."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Dongfang Mingyue glared at Ye Cangtian. If she didn't know Ye Cangtian so well, she would have thought he had gone mad.
"Hong Mo is one of us, Luoluo Huangshan are one of us, Xing Yuan is one of us, plus Lanyue and me. Do I need to be any clearer?" Ye Cangtian said with annoyance.
"Hong Mo and Xing Yuan are both our people?"
Dongfang Mingyue questioned. Luoluo and Huangshan were the Tang Qingshan couple, so they were indeed their people. Lanyue had been following Ye Cangtian for a long time, so she knew that too.
But Hong Mo and Xing Yuan, she truly couldn't believe it.
One was the most loyal Earth-level deacon of the Dark Association, and the other was its current controller. How could they possibly be their people?
Seeing Dongfang Mingyue's determined posture to get to the bottom of things, Ye Cangtian said helplessly, "Xing Yuan is Dongfang Hongwu. I saved Hong Mo, so after Kong Ling died, he pledged allegiance to us!"
Father?
With that sentence, Dongfang Mingyue was stunned. Her mind went blank.
She could never have imagined that her father, who had been missing for countless years, was actually in the Dark Relics and even controlled the Dark Association!
"Uh..."
Seeing Dongfang Mingyue's stunned expression, Ye Cangtian's mouth twitched. This was not how he had imagined the scene!
Upon hearing about Dongfang Hongwu, shouldn't she be excited?
And with the entire Dark Association under their control, wasn't this a cause for great celebration? How could she still be in a daze?
Could it be that the news was too shocking?
After a long while, Dongfang Mingyue finally came to her senses from the shock and said faintly, "You punk, you knew this all along, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"Although the Dark Association is under our control, it's not stable yet, and the news cannot be spread."
"I was also worried that you would get too excited and expose this matter."
Hearing this explanation, Dongfang Mingyue slowly nodded. Ye Cangtian's actions indeed made sense.
Because even after hearing this, her heart was still pounding, and she couldn't calm down for a long time!
Thinking about it, she looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Alright, I still have one question. Did Kong Ling really attack the Bright Relics?"
"Of course not, that was something I made up."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and explained, "Kong Ling was gravely injured by me, and Xing Yuan took the opportunity to kill him. As for the Bright Hall's Venerable Xiangyang, he was killed by my teacher..."
This...
Hearing Ye Cangtian reveal the truth, Dongfang Mingyue's expression changed. This master and disciple duo had indeed made immense contributions.
But there was one thing she didn't understand.
What Ye Cangtian had said earlier, whether Kong Ling died in the Bright Relics or that Venerable Xiangyang was killed by Kong Ling, clearly implied a strategy of diverting blame.
But now that the Dark Association was under their control, what was the point of further instigating conflict between the Dark Association and the Bright Hall?
Thinking this, Dongfang Mingyue inquired about it.
Ye Cangtian directly admitted it but did not explain the reason, merely stating that the time was not right.
Hearing this, Dongfang Mingyue didn't press further and said, "You punk, next time something big happens, remember to notify your sister in advance, don't let me be kept in the dark like a fool!"
As she spoke, Dongfang Mingyue glared at him before turning and disappearing into the darkness.
Originally, her mind was full of questions and worries, but now her questions were answered and her worries were gone.
What was Chen Yi's biggest reliance but the Dark Association? Now that the Dark Association was controlled by their own people, could Chen Yi still cause any trouble?
...
Qingfeng Hall.
Upon returning, Chen Yi was in the hall, contemplating his performance today, wondering if he had left any loopholes.
However, after thinking it over, he was not satisfied with the result.
His performance today was still too impatient, repeatedly questioning Ye Cangtian. Although he had explained everything, it couldn't help but arouse some curiosity in people's minds.
And this curiosity might very well lead to suspicion of him in the future.
"Flower Centipede."
After a long while, Chen Yi slowly uttered three words.
As the voice fell, almost instantly, a figure in black, a man with a centipede pattern embroidered on his chest, appeared beside him.
Chen Yi glanced at him and said, "I may need to leave for some time. I have two matters to entrust to you..."
Saying this, Chen Yi beckoned to him. Hua Weng, understanding, quickly stepped forward and leaned his ear towards him.
The next moment, Chen Yi's faint voice entered his ear.
A little while later, Hua Weng said solemnly to Chen Yi, "My lord, rest assured, your subordinate will not fail!"
"Hmph! You'd better not disappoint me again!"
Chen Yi snorted. He truly did not want to hand these matters over to the Five Poisons Sect.
After all, he had sent two people to the capital before, and they had inexplicably retreated when they saw that the other party had an expert of the same level.
This made him unable to understand and also extremely disappointed.
After all, they were both quasi-heavenly level powerhouses, and their cultivation was not much different. Why were those two useless people afraid to fight?
Because of this, he had a very low opinion of the people from the Five Poisons Sect, but now there was no other option. Hei Yu and Wang Qisheng were killed by Ye Cangtian, and An Yi was not by his side.
Therefore, he could only take the risk and let the Five Poisons Sect try, perhaps it would succeed, and perhaps by the time he returned, he could smoothly control the Hidden Group...
