Ye Cangtian was not angered by Xu Shi'an's attack; in fact, he was also blaming himself.
If he had discovered it earlier, such a catastrophe would not have happened!
And now that the other party was also in grief, it would be good for him to vent his emotions.
Thinking this, he glanced at Xu Shi'an, "The deceased is gone, please accept my condolences. What we can do is to send them on their final journey and avenge them!"
Avenge?
Upon hearing the word "avenge," Xu Shi'an's eyes instantly turned red, and he rushed towards the main door without hesitation.
"Come back!"
Ye Cangtian's icy voice rang out.
Xu Shi'an stopped in his tracks, glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian, and roared, "I want to avenge Grandpa, don't stop me! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite to you!"
Seeing that Xu Shi'an's mind was completely clouded by hatred, Ye Cangtian's expression also turned icy.
He spoke gloomily, "You want to avenge the old man, I support you, but do you know where Dammus is?"
Seeing Xu Shi'an pause, Ye Cangtian reprimanded, "With your recklessness, not only will you be unable to avenge him, but you might even fall into an ambush. Do you think this is what the old man would have wanted to see?"
"Then what do you want me to do? Should I do nothing? If so, am I still human?"
Xu Shi'an roared angrily at Ye Cangtian.
Ye Cangtian walked forward and placed his hand on Xu Shi'an's agitated shoulder. He understood his feelings very well.
Having roamed for many years and experienced countless partings and farewells, he had a deep understanding of such matters.
"Listen, what we can do now is to remain calm, seize every clue, and find Dammus!"
Listening to Ye Cangtian's words and feeling the determination in his gaze, Xu Shi'an finally calmed down a bit.
He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Big Brother, I apologize. I was impulsive just now. Please don't take it to heart!"
"We are brothers, sharing life and death. What does it matter if you punch me once!"
"Alright, now your task is to handle things here. Leave the rest to me."
Ye Cangtian patted Xu Shi'an's shoulder and said.
Seeing Xu Shi'an nod with difficulty, he then walked to the side and directly called Shangguan Yun.
After a short while, Shangguan Yun's voice came from the phone, "Big Brother, I'm interrogating them here, but I haven't gotten any leads yet. It might take some time."
Shangguan Yun thought Ye Cangtian was asking about the interrogation results, so he immediately said all this.
"Stop the interrogation. Send everyone to Heaven Level One, cripple their cultivation, and imprison them for life!"
"Also, seal off the entire city, conduct a thorough search, and hunt for Dammus. Notify me immediately if there is any news!"
Ye Cangtian gave the order coldly. Dammus had already completed his mission.
Therefore, what Dammus needed to do was to escape the capital. In such a situation, interrogating those pawns was meaningless.
After all, Dammus would not foolishly return to his original hideout.
On the other side, sensing Ye Cangtian's icy tone, Shangguan Yun was startled and quickly asked, "Big Brother, what happened?"
"Old Master Xu was attacked and is dead."
In just a few words, Shangguan Yun's mind roared. He naturally understood what Old Master Xu meant to the Dragon Group; he was the absolute leader.
Thinking this, he quickly said, "Big Brother, you're joking, aren't you?"
Hmph!
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "Shangguan Yun, listen to my orders! If you have any questions, we'll discuss them after we catch Dammus and avenge Old Master Xu!"
"Yes!"
With those words, Shangguan Yun understood everything. Ye Cangtian was not joking, otherwise, he would not have spoken to him in such a tone.
And for every second he delayed, he was giving Dammus another second to escape.
Thinking this, Shangguan Yun immediately gathered everyone without a second word...
Meanwhile, after contacting Shangguan Yun, Ye Cangtian quickly called Viper.
Viper was still asleep, his voice groggy, "Boss, I've only slept for two or three hours these past few days, and you're calling. You really want me dead!"
Hmph!
Complaining, Ye Cangtian snorted again and said, "Viper, listen to me carefully. The leader of China's Dragon Group, Old Master Xu, was attacked and died!"
What!
With just a sentence, Viper immediately became alert. He quickly asked, "Boss, don't tell me the so-called Dragon Slaying Plan before was actually targeting Old Master Xu!"
Viper could hardly believe it. If Old Master Xu were dead, it would mean that the information he had deciphered earlier was fake.
In other words, he bore an undeniable responsibility!
"You are correct. From what we can see now, that's the case!"
Ye Cangtian replied grimly and continued, "Therefore, I demand that you find the hiding place of Dammus of the Light Hall at all costs!"
"Understood, leave it to me!"
Viper agreed without hesitation.
Even if Ye Cangtian hadn't said it, he would have done it. Only by capturing Dammus could he wash away the shame of being deceived!
...
Thousands of miles away, at the Light Hall.
The Pope sat on the main seat with a hint of impatience.
A guard had just reported that Hassar had something to report, so he tidied himself up and came to the great hall to wait.
At this moment, he was somewhat annoyed. After all, in his position, he had heard too many bad news.
The next moment, a figure hurried into the great hall, it was Hassar.
Hassar quickly bowed respectfully to the Pope and said, "Your Holiness, there is news from Leon..."
Seeing the slight smile on Hassar's face, the Pope's eyes lit up. Before Hassar could finish, he urged, "Quick, tell me, tell me!"
"Leon joined forces with the Dark Association, and it is said that they were annihilated by Chinese forces, with complete destruction..."
Bang!
With those words, the Pope's face instantly turned grim. He slammed his large hand onto the table in front of him, shattering it.
However, that was not all. In the next instant, the Pope appeared before Hassar and grabbed him by the neck, lifting him up.
"Hassar, do you think it's fun to toy with me?"
An icy voice rang out. The Pope was furious and wished he could twist the man's neck.
When the entire force was wiped out, the man was still smiling. Did he have no heart?
"Your Holiness, listen to me, there is a second piece of news!"
Hassar, whose face had turned red, squeezed out the words with all his might.
Hearing this, the Pope finally let him go and warned, "Hassar, if the second piece of news is not good, I will definitely shatter your head and feed it to the dogs!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Hassar quickly responded, then said, "Your Holiness, Dammus, whom you personally assigned to the Dragon Slaying Plan, has completed the mission and is withdrawing from China.
He said that he would deliver Xu Zhenguo's head to you soon!"
"Good! Very good! Excellent!"
"Hahaha, Dammus has not disappointed me!"
Upon hearing Hassar's words, the Pope was stunned for a moment, and then the anger on his face disappeared. He burst into laughter.
For him, the success or failure of Leon's mission was not of great importance.
If he succeeded, it would be the merit of the Light Hall. If he failed, it would not be his fault.
What he truly cared about was the Dragon Slaying Plan, which he had personally orchestrated.
If this failed, how many people would laugh at him? His reputation would be tarnished.
Now that the Dragon Slaying Plan was successful, it not only removed a major threat but also saved his face and brought great honor to the Light Hall.
His prestige would undoubtedly increase by a notch.
This way, his wish to enter the inner hall could be achieved more quickly.
After all, although the outer hall was good, it was boring compared to the inner hall.
Not only that, but the outer hall was constantly suppressed by the inner hall, and there were no heavenly treasures. Thus, he had grown tired of it long ago.
Meanwhile, seeing the Pope's excited expression, Hassar finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had received news about Dammus.
Otherwise, he would not have dared to inform the Pope about Leon's news.
Now, he had also relieved himself of a burden. After all, not reporting such news was like carrying a bomb that could explode at any moment.
