"Hmm? Guangming Hall?"
Bai Zhensan's expression immediately turned grim. This Guangming Hall was truly endless!
Thinking this, he looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Has Guangming Hall made peace with the Dark Association again? But if they're here, why haven't they shown themselves?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian quickly explained the entire situation.
After hearing Ye Cangtian's account, Bai Zhensan and Yang Chen finally understood everything.
Ye Cangtian and Lan Yue's appearance in this manner was to avoid a direct confrontation with the Huaxia forces on the battlefield.
Thinking this, Bai Zhensan's gaze flickered to Ye Cangtian. "Now that the play has been performed, what do you plan to do next? Shall we march to the Guangming faction tonight?"
"There's no need for such trouble."
Ye Cangtian waved his hand with a smile. "We'll go along with the plan. By the way, have those two brothers kill a few more people..."
Ye Cangtian had previously heard from Leon that if the Huaxia forces suffered heavy losses, they would launch a full-scale offensive.
Therefore, there was no need to attack now; they could simply wait for the enemy to come to them, conserving their strength.
"Alright! We'll do as you say." Upon hearing the plan, Bai Zhensan immediately agreed.
"By the way, why isn't Senior Jian Wusheng here?"
With the important matters discussed, Ye Cangtian's gaze shifted back to Bai Zhensan. He hadn't seen Jian Wusheng during the night raid and felt a bit curious.
After all, Jian Wusheng would not leave his post without authorization.
"He is in the hidden city of the ruins."
Bai Zhensan replied. Since Ye Cangtian had left two Enlightenment Pills the last time he departed, both he and Jian Wusheng had the possibility of breaking through to the Quasi-Heavenly level.
Therefore, after discussing it, they decided to take turns guarding the entrance to the Huaxia ruins, ensuring that someone was in charge of the situation at the entrance.
Bai Zhensan had already succeeded in his breakthrough, so it was now Jian Wusheng's turn to go into seclusion for his breakthrough.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded. "Senior, it's getting very late. Let's call it a day. We'll take our leave now."
Bai Zhensan nodded immediately upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Yang Chen quickly led Ye Cangtian and Lan Yue out of the command tent.
As soon as they left the command tent, Yang Chen started to complain in a low voice, "Boss, you have such an identity, why didn't you say so earlier? If you had said so, it would have been great to go to the Dark Ruins with you!"
"Hmph!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian let out a cold snort and said irritably, "With your meager cultivation and impulsive nature, could you have survived if I brought you to the Dark Ruins?"
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Yang Chen was stunned. Then, he lowered his head awkwardly.
If these words had come from someone in the Dark Association, he wouldn't have paid them any mind. But coming from Ye Cangtian lecturing him, he could only accept it.
Seeing Yang Chen remain silent, Ye Cangtian's expression softened slightly. "Yang Chen, you must always remember that there's always someone better, and there are always skies beyond the sky. No matter when, you must be cautious and not arrogant!"
Yang Chen nodded obediently. However, the casual Lan Yue beside him suddenly chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?"
Yang Chen's gaze was somewhat gloomy. Although she was Ye Cangtian's senior sister, as a proud man of seven feet, he found it hard to tolerate being mocked by a woman.
"I'm not laughing at you."
Lan Yue waved her hand and smiled. "I can hardly imagine someone so extremely arrogant saying such a thing..."
After all, she had personally witnessed Ye Cangtian's arrogance in the face of Heavenly-level experts with his Quasi-Heavenly cultivation.
In such a situation, who in the world could be more arrogant than Ye Cangtian?
Therefore, when she heard Ye Cangtian say such a thing, she couldn't help herself.
"Uh..."
Yang Chen immediately understood when he heard this, realizing he had misunderstood her.
Now, re-evaluating her words, he felt that Lan Yue was speaking the truth and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Hmph!"
Looking at their actions, Ye Cangtian snorted and said irritably, "Senior sister, you're being unfair to me. I admit I'm a bit arrogant, but when I'm arrogant, I always have trump cards up my sleeve..."
With that, Lan Yue was rendered speechless.
In fact, when facing Kong Ling, even she thought he was facing certain death.
But who knew that at the critical moment, he would pull out two seals, directly suppressing Kong Ling, and ultimately achieving victory...
So, with Ye Cangtian saying this now, she found it hard to refute.
On the other side, Yang Chen also shut his mouth. Ye Cangtian was a bit arrogant when facing enemies, but he had never disappointed them.
Therefore, he also found it difficult to argue.
"So, what I want to say is that before being arrogant, you must have sufficient trump cards, so you won't be embarrassed."
Seeing that they had nothing to say, Ye Cangtian added calmly.
"This... he's still showing off..."
Lan Yue muttered to herself, while Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully.
...
As dawn broke.
In the Guangming Hall's camp, a guard quickly arrived at Leon's main tent.
Following the report from the guards at the entrance, he immediately entered the tent.
"Reporting! Lord Leon, last night, Poxiao and Lan Yue infiltrated the Huaxia forces' main camp and successively killed several powerhouses..."
"However, in the end, Poxiao and Lan Yue were outnumbered and captured by the Huaxia forces..."
"Heh, well done!"
Leon, with his eyes still half-closed, showed a faint smile upon hearing the first part of the news.
But as he heard the latter part, a glint of excitement appeared in his eyes.
He had already anticipated the failure of Poxiao and Lan Yue, so he wasn't shocked at all.
And before these two were captured, they had severely wounded the opponents, clearing the path for Guangming Hall. Most importantly, even these two were sacrificed this time.
After all, although Guangming Hall had joined forces with the Dark Association, the two sides were still rivals, and this could not be changed.
Therefore, the current predicament of Poxiao and Lan Yue would be of immense benefit in future offensives against the Dark Association.
With this thought, Leon's expression turned serious. "Go inform Grizzly and immediately gather our forces to launch a full-scale attack on the Huaxia forces."
The Huaxia forces had just suffered a heavy blow, and he believed their morale would be extremely low. Therefore, this was the best time for Guangming Hall to launch an attack.
He naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip away.
"Yes!"
The guard quickly acknowledged and then left the command tent.
"Hahaha..."
After the guard left, Leon burst into laughter. Guangming Hall had attacked the Huaxia ruins several times, all ending in failure.
He never expected that this time he would so easily open the doors of the Huaxia ruins. The credit came too easily.
...
In a blink of an eye, Leon, with over two hundred men, arrived in front of the Huaxia forces' camp.
Seeing the guards on the other side immediately retreat back into the camp, a playful smile appeared on his face.
Just as he had expected, the Huaxia forces' high-end combat power had suffered severe losses, causing the guards to panic upon seeing them.
If this continued, taking down the entire Huaxia camp would be effortless.
Thinking this, Leon waited for a long time. Seeing that the Huaxia camp still dared not come out to meet them, only a few more guards appeared around the perimeter.
And among these guards, there were no famous experts.
Seeing this, Leon decided there was no need to wait any longer.
He glanced at Grizzly beside him and said, "Grizzly, it seems that Huaxia's losses are even greater than imagined. Then, you will lead the men to break through their camp."
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Grizzly immediately responded, a glint of excitement appearing in his eyes.
What Leon saw, he also saw, so he was very willing to accept this order, which meant the first merit would be his.
The next moment, he led his brothers and charged out.
Just as they had imagined, they broke through all resistance along the way and easily charged into the Huaxia camp.
Seeing the Huaxia forces' guards being cornered, Leon's face instantly showed a smug smile.
Without a word, he led the remaining brothers and rushed forward, ready to bring this battle to a perfect conclusion.
"People of Huaxia, listen to me! If you are willing to surrender to Guangming Hall, I can spare your lives!"
"Otherwise, do not blame me for showing no mercy in our dialogue!"
Soon, Leon arrived at the Huaxia formation. Looking at the Huaxia guards who were surrounded, his face immediately showed the demeanor of a victor.
He issued a final ultimatum to the Huaxia forces.
After all, capturing the Huaxia entrance did not mean complete victory; there were still more dangers to face in the future.
Therefore, Leon was currently thinking about how to replenish his troops. The stronger his forces became, the easier it would be for him to face the Huaxia forces in the future.
It was also for this reason that he did not choose to kill the guards in front of him directly.
"Leon, shouldn't those words be said by us to you!"
"Do you really think the Huaxia main camp is that easy to break through?"
Just as Leon's voice fell, an old man in white suddenly stepped out from among the Huaxia forces' guards.
