Ye Cangtian summoned Lan Yue to his villa.
Only after Tang Xinwan had gone upstairs to rest did Ye Cangtian broach the main topic.
"Today, I received news from Gui Wu. They have encountered the Golden Armor Knights on the sea."
"I believe it won't be long before Elino makes a move in the capital..."
Ye Cangtian had now analyzed the three major objectives of the Bright Hall.
As for his family, with him present, there wouldn't be any major disturbances.
On the side of the Death Squad, Qiangwei had just consumed the Enlightenment Pill and broken through. Although she had reached the quasi-Heavenly level, her cultivation was only at the third heaven, which was no match for the opponents.
Therefore, he had to arrange for Nancy to go there.
This made the family compound the place he was most worried about.
Although the Dragon Group's Earth-level experts were guarding it, they still couldn't stop Elino's squad. To ensure absolute safety, Ye Cangtian had to call Lan Yue for help.
With Lan Yue and Xiao Hei present, even if something happened there, they could hold off the opponents until Ye Cangtian's arrival.
"Junior Brother, rest assured. As long as I am here, the family compound will be safe."
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's arrangements, Lan Yue immediately agreed.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian frowned and said, "I want both you and the family compound to be safe. Don't be reckless. If you can't win, wait for my support..."
"Got it."
Lan Yue felt a warmth in her heart and waved her hand.
After simple arrangements, Lan Yue and Nancy left the villa and, as instructed, headed for the Death Squad and the family compound.
Watching the two women leave, Ye Cangtian lit a cigarette and looked up at the night sky.
Pope, you are truly courting death with such elaborate schemes!
Having lost an arm, you still dare to touch my bottom line. It seems next time we meet, I won't let you escape!
...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the night sky had darkened further.
More than half of the lights in the capital had been extinguished.
As the midnight bell chimed, streaks of black figures appeared.
In the room, Ye Cangtian, who had been fast asleep, also opened his eyes at this moment.
He quietly glanced at the sleeping Tang Xinwan and whispered, "Jin Ye Zi, I'm leaving Xinwan to you. Don't let her hear anything she shouldn't."
"Hmph, you've already become a Heavenly level expert. How much noise can you make dealing with a few petty thieves!"
As soon as Ye Cangtian's voice fell, a phantom figure appeared and sat on the bedside. It was Jin Ye Zi.
Ever since Ye Cangtian's return, she had sensed his terrifying aura, which was undoubtedly the mark of a Heavenly level expert.
One could ask, wasn't it a matter of minutes for a Heavenly level expert to deal with a few petty thieves?
"Heavenly level experts are not omnipotent, and besides, they won't surrender meekly!"
Ye Cangtian said calmly and then ignored her, leaving the room directly.
Seeing this, Jin Ye Zi snorted and then vanished.
In the blink of an eye, the golden leaf pattern on Tang Xinwan's body emitted a soft glow, enveloping her.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian had arrived at the second-floor rooftop, accompanied by the two women Gu Yue and Gu Qin.
The three of them scanned the black-clothed figures who were still stealthily approaching from various locations, revealing disdainful smiles on their faces.
"Are these the people from the Golden Armor Knights?"
"Only daring to sneak around in the middle of the night. You've truly disgraced the Golden Armor Knights!"
"Come out, all of you. I don't have time to hunt you down one by one!"
Ye Cangtian said disdainfully. His powerful mental energy had already detected the location of every black-clothed figure.
Tap, tap, tap...
As the sound fell, the black figures in various corners no longer hid and walked out directly.
In a short while, they arrived below the second-floor rooftop.
They knew very well that since their presence had been detected, they had to overcome this hurdle to complete their mission.
"The Golden Armor Knights are truly confident!"
"To attack my home, you didn't even send a quasi-Heavenly level expert, only a bunch of ants. Do you have a misunderstanding of my family?"
"Or are you just cannon fodder, specially sent to die?"
Ye Cangtian's voice rang out. His gaze swept across the black-clothed figures, and he could judge their strength from their auras.
All of them were at the Earth level. Such a lineup truly disappointed him.
"Ye Cangtian, it's true that your strength is immense, and it's also true that none of us is your match!"
"But you are too compassionate; that is your greatest flaw!"
"You want to protect too many people, can you manage them all? And each of them is your lifeline..."
A Cardinal stepped forward, speaking with forced courage upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words.
Huh?
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian frowned.
He stared intently at the Cardinal and said lightly, "Ant, you have successfully caught my attention. What's your name? Did you come up with these words yourself?"
"No! I don't have such insight. These words were spoken by His Holiness the Pope."
"Oh, right, my name is..."
The Cardinal waved his hand and then showed a hint of pride on his face.
After all, Ye Cangtian was considered a top expert, and being noticed by him meant he had his own merits.
"No need to state your name, I've lost interest."
Ye Cangtian interrupted him directly. He had initially thought the other party's words were his own ideas, and if so, it would show some intelligence.
But upon hearing that it was the Pope's idea, it was no longer surprising.
"You..."
The smugness that had been on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a flush of embarrassment.
It felt as if someone had stuffed a piece of candied fruit into his mouth, only to be followed by a harsh slap, doubling the pain.
Ye Cangtian ignored the Cardinal's expression and said lightly, "Speak, where is Elino?"
Ye Cangtian had no interest in the Cardinal in front of him. What he truly cared about were Elino and Garland.
One of them was at the seventh heaven realm, and in the capital, besides himself, few could match him.
To put it bluntly, he was also worried about any unexpected occurrences.
"Ye Cangtian, we know you are powerful, but don't be too arrogant!"
"Do you think all of us in the Golden Armor Knights are incompetent?"
"You haven't even fought yet, and you're already acting like a victor. Who are you looking down on..."
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, the Cardinal who had stepped forward could no longer tolerate it. He pointed at Ye Cangtian and instantly vented his anger.
However, before he could finish speaking, Ye Cangtian waved his hand.
Instantly, a silver light flashed, piercing through the Cardinal's brow.
Bang!
The next moment, the Cardinal fell to the ground, dead.
Hiss...
Seeing Ye Cangtian kill a companion with a casual wave, the expressions of the remaining dozen or so Cardinals changed, and cold sweat visibly appeared on their foreheads.
To complete their mission, for the Bright Hall, they did not fear death.
But this was only if there was at least a glimmer of hope.
With Ye Cangtian casually dispatching a companion, even if they charged forward together, they would only be slaughtered.
In an instant, a sense of utter despair grew in their hearts.
"Truly noisy!"
"Ants have no awareness of being ants. In my home, you dare to shout at me, and you deserve to die!"
As the voice echoed, Ye Cangtian's gaze swept over the remaining Cardinals.
Upon seeing Ye Cangtian's gaze, all the Cardinals trembled.
Although his gaze didn't linger on them, only a fleeting glance, in that instant, they felt as if death itself had paid them a visit.
"Alright, it's the same question as before. Who will answer me?"
As the words fell, the entire scene fell silent. The dozen or so Cardinals dared not utter a sound, even holding their breath.
Fearing that a breath might attract his attention.
Sigh!
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian sighed helplessly and said, "Do you think you'll be fine if you don't speak?"
As he spoke, a silver light flashed in Ye Cangtian's hand, and three gleaming daggers instantly appeared.
Upon seeing the three daggers, the pupils of all the Cardinals constricted. They firmly believed that these three daggers could take three lives.
This meant that each of them had nearly a one-third chance of being killed by Ye Cangtian.
