Boom!
At the same time, in another corner of Bright City, inside the grand hall of the Bright Palace.
The Pope, who had been watching the live broadcast, slammed his hand down on the desk, shattering it.
To be honest, he had been somewhat prepared for the confrontation between Arthur and Ye Cangtian, and he felt that Arthur's chances of winning were very slim.
After all, Ye Cangtian could make him feel a sense of crisis, a feeling he couldn't sense from Arthur at all.
But what he didn't expect was that Arthur would lose so miserably.
One moment, he was fighting back and forth with his opponent.
The next, he was defeated after a clash of moves. The psychological gap between the two was truly unbearable.
At the same time, this was another humiliation for the Bright Palace.
"Someone, go inform Ye Cangtian and tell him to lead his delegation to meet me!"
The Pope's roar echoed instantly.
Since Ye Cangtian arrived at the Bright Palace, the Bright Palace had made repeated moves, but they all ended in failure.
Moreover, it wasn't just failure; every action had brought immense shame to the Bright Palace.
This not only made him lose face but also filled him with extreme anger, and he no longer trusted his foolish subordinates.
Therefore, the Pope finally decided to take action himself.
Of course, this also required a certain method. After all, the other party was the delegation from Huaxia, and he had to force them to make a move first...
...
Hotel, Presidential Suite.
Ye Cangtian and the other two had just returned.
It was only now that Gui Wu voiced the questions in her heart.
"Boss, you had an opportunity to kill Arthur just now. Why did you let him go?"
In Gui Wu's opinion, it was the best time to kill Arthur when their powers clashed and it was difficult to control the extent of the damage.
As long as Arthur was killed, their actions would be unhindered.
But Ye Cangtian hadn't made a move, which puzzled her somewhat.
Hearing Gui Wu's words, Ye Cangtian smiled helplessly and said, "If we really killed him, we could claim it was an accident. But the Pope might not see it that way, so we should be careful."
After a pause, Ye Cangtian continued, "Besides, killing Arthur might not lift the surveillance. The Bright Palace could send someone else to monitor us. So, it's better to gravely injure Arthur, and also..."
Ye Cangtian began to explain simply. His move just now was very measured.
That attack caused considerable damage to Arthur but was limited.
In simple terms, if the opponent took a Great Recovery Pill, he could heal his injuries and continue to monitor him while injured.
"Boss, what if Arthur directly takes the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill?" Gui Wu asked Ye Cangtian doubtfully, still not fully understanding his intentions.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian replied, "If he takes the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, he will have to go into seclusion to absorb its effects. However, the Bright Palace has failed repeatedly, and the Pope's patience is wearing thin. Would Arthur go into seclusion at such a time?"
With these words, Gui Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she understood everything.
Perhaps in Arthur's eyes, as long as the Pope made a move, Ye Cangtian was bound to die.
And by continuously monitoring Ye Cangtian, he would also gain some merit. However, if he went into seclusion to heal, that merit might fall into someone else's hands.
Therefore, Arthur would definitely choose to take the Great Recovery Pill and monitor Ye Cangtian while injured.
Also, because the opponent was injured, the intensity of the surveillance would definitely be greatly reduced, which would create an opportunity for Ye Cangtian and his group.
"You damned boss, how exactly did your brain grow!"
Having figured everything out, Gui Wu glanced at him, truly impressed by Ye Cangtian's intellect.
Hmph!
Ye Cangtian snorted in annoyance, then said, "When you've been schemed against enough, you'll naturally develop a brain like this..."
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Before Ye Cangtian could finish speaking, a knock came at the door.
In an instant, a guard from the Bright Palace entered the room.
The guard bowed respectfully to Ye Cangtian and the others, then said, "Lord Ye, His Holiness the Pope deeply apologizes for the experiences of the Huaxia delegation in the past few days. Therefore, he requests that you come to the palace tomorrow..."
The Pope had instructed him to convey a message that there had been considerable grievances between the Bright Palace and the forces of Huaxia in the past. Now that the two sides had recently eased relations, it was inevitable that some people would want to stir up trouble.
The Pope was powerless against these people.
Therefore, the Pope believed it would be best to negotiate with the Huaxia delegation as soon as possible to conclude their mission.
At least this way, those with ulterior motives would truly quiet down, as they couldn't go to Huaxia to cause trouble...
Heh heh.
The Pope wants to drive us away! It seems the Pope finally can't hold back.
Listening to the guard's words, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but smile.
The other party was ostensibly asking them to leave, but in reality, they intended to force them to infiltrate the Specimen Hall. Only then could the Pope legitimately make a move against him.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian looked at the guard and said faintly, "His Holiness the Pope is indeed thoughtful. Please convey my regards, we will come to the palace to meet His Holiness tomorrow morning..."
"Alright, I will convey everything," the guard replied.
The guard responded respectfully and then left the room.
After the guard left.
Gui Wu and Lan Yue's expressions turned grim. Both women clearly understood that the other side was forcing them to make a move.
They both looked at Ye Cangtian, awaiting his command.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "Don't panic. The main show hasn't begun yet. Let's wait until we meet the Pope tomorrow!"
With these words, the two women were instantly speechless. The situation was so dire, yet Ye Cangtian wasn't anxious, truly wanting to drive them mad.
However, in this situation, it was not appropriate for them to press further, for fear of disrupting Ye Cangtian's plans and putting their own lives at risk.
Seeing the two women quiet down, Ye Cangtian returned to his room.
He fell silent for a long time, then finally took out his phone and dialed a number.
After several beeps, the call was finally answered, and Viper's voice came through.
"Boss, you're having a blast! I thought you'd forgotten about us!"
Viper, from the video Ye Cangtian had sent, knew about Ye Cangtian's movements.
He and his siblings had been rewatching the video, and it had been so exhilarating that they had almost rushed to Bright City.
Listening to Viper's voice, Ye Cangtian snorted and said, "Stop fooling around with me, kid. I have a question for you. Think carefully before you answer!"
"Uh... Boss, you're so serious, you're making me nervous."
"I've taken a liking to Kesha and want to develop our relationship further. That shouldn't violate your principles, right..."
Upon hearing this, Viper immediately panicked.
When he was training Kesha, he had a very good impression of her and had tried to pursue her secretly.
Now that Ye Cangtian was so serious, he thought this matter had been exposed and he really didn't know what to do. He had no choice but to confess.
Pfft!
With these words, Ye Cangtian almost spat out blood. This was an unexpected bonus!
However, thinking about it, his brother was no longer young and was on the side of Huaxia. Pursuing Kesha wasn't entirely out of the question.
Thinking about it, Ye Cangtian said, "I wasn't talking about that. But since you've confessed, I have to warn you that Kesha is currently in charge of intelligence work for the Dragon Group!
If your actions, or theirs, affect her work, I will not forgive you!"
Uh...
Upon hearing this, Viper was stunned and felt like slapping himself. Wasn't this a self-confession?
But hearing that Ye Cangtian had no intention of objecting, he felt a bit more at ease and quickly said, "Boss, don't worry, I know my limits. Boss, what did you call me for?"
Ye Cangtian didn't say much as Viper immediately changed the subject.
He paused and said seriously, "If I want to cut off all signals within a certain area, prohibiting all external and internal communication, can you do it?"
"That depends on the specific situation. For ordinary areas, it's very simple."
"But for special areas, it's a bit more difficult."
Viper paused for a moment and replied slowly.
"I won't beat around the bush. What I'm talking about is the Bright Palace on Bright Mountain. I want to block all signals within the Bright Mountain area," Ye Cangtian said.
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Viper immediately understood. Ye Cangtian was planning to make a move against the Bright Palace.
Cutting off all communication within Bright Mountain was to prevent the deployment of personnel from the Bright Palace, so as not to hinder Ye Cangtian's actions.
This matter was related to Ye Cangtian's safety, so Viper also fell silent.
