After Lan Yue was taken away by the Sea of Bones, Ye Cangtian increasingly felt something was wrong.
Besides Lan Yue, he and Zi Long were both responsible for external affairs.
Although Lan Yue was indeed in charge of intelligence work outside of Huaxia, Zi Long would not know much about this aspect!
After all, Zi Long was the main person in charge of external affairs before, and some of Lan Yue's actions still needed to be reported to Zi Long.
But Zi Long was clearly in Kong Ling's camp now, and Kong Ling wanted to find Lan Yue, which was clearly illogical.
Thinking about it, Ye Cangtian nudged the black cat sleeping soundly beside him, "Wake up."
The black cat immediately opened its eyes and looked at Ye Cangtian in confusion.
"Lan Yue was taken away, go find out what she was taken for!"
"Remember to be careful, the other party has Heavenly-tier experts. Don't expose yourself and get yourself roasted!"
Ye Cangtian instructed and reminded him.
The next moment, the black cat immediately raised its proud head and made a purring sound.
"The person who can roast me hasn't been born yet!"
Understanding what the other party said, Ye Cangtian snorted and said, "Hurry up and go!"
With a word, the black cat instantly darted out of the room.
After the black cat left, Ye Cangtian fell silent for a long time, and finally walked out of the room.
As usual, after leaving the Dark Association, he found a hidden place and changed his attire.
Then, he went directly to the south of Ghost City, to a dilapidated small courtyard.
As soon as he pushed open the courtyard gate, the door of the dilapidated house automatically opened. Ye Cangtian did not hesitate and walked directly into the dilapidated house.
Here, he indeed met a disheveled beggar, Xiao Feng.
"What wind brought you here? And you came here to find me directly. Is there anything urgent?"
Xiao Feng poured Ye Cangtian a cup of water and asked.
"Kong Ling might have reached his limit with me. Perhaps he will make a move soon."
Ye Cangtian drank some water and did not hide anything.
"What!"
Xiao Feng was startled. He knew Kong Ling's methods. There were basically no other forces in Ghost City now, which showed how ruthless Kong Ling's methods were.
If Kong Ling targeted Ye Cangtian, what good would Ye Cangtian have?
Thinking about it, Xiao Feng quickly said, "Brother, what are you waiting for! Since there's danger, retreat quickly! Didn't I prepare a secret passage for you? Let's go!"
Heh heh.
Seeing Xiao Feng's excited look, Ye Cangtian smiled.
He waved his hand and said, "Kong Ling not only wants to eliminate me this time, but also to eliminate dissidents. I can leave, but what about Lan Yue? What about others? They are all people of the Star Abyss faction, and they are also targets of Kong Ling!"
"Damn it, that's simple, everyone leave!"
"After this wave of trouble passes, figure out a way to come back, or have the Hidden Group send other people to infiltrate the Dark Association again!"
Xiao Feng immediately said.
Although Po Xiao was in a high position in the Dark Association and had entered the core, giving up these identities was a pity and a huge loss.
However, their safety should be the top priority.
After all, Po Xiao was extraordinary and powerful, the future of the Hidden Group, and so were others. In his opinion, there was nothing to say, saving their lives was important.
"I don't plan to leave. Once I leave, everything I've done so far will be in vain!"
"So I'm planning to do something big!"
Ye Cangtian smiled and waved his hand, saying.
"What big thing? Spit it out!"
Xiao Feng's eyes widened. At this time, the other party was still playing coy, which was truly agonizing.
"This is a big move, and I don't have complete confidence."
Ye Cangtian glanced at Xiao Feng and continued, "But before I do this, I plan to eliminate some of his pawns, such as Bone Sea and other esteemed experts."
What!
With a single sentence, Xiao Feng's eyes widened. He exclaimed, "You want to attack Kong Ling? Are you crazy?"
Xiao Feng was not stupid and instantly saw through Ye Cangtian's thoughts.
Speaking of which, if even Bone Sea and other esteemed experts were pawns, then the person the other party wanted to deal with was likely someone of Kong Ling and Star Abyss's level.
And at this moment, Kong Ling was determined to kill Ye Cangtian, so Ye Cangtian could only attack Kong Ling.
"Heh heh, I'm not crazy."
"I have at least a fifty percent chance of defeating Kong Ling, but the prerequisite is to eliminate some pawns."
Ye Cangtian said with a slight smile.
Now that Kong Ling had already made a move, he naturally could not sit idly by. Also, for Lan Yue and others, he could not choose to escape.
Therefore, he had to take action now to try and turn the situation to his advantage.
The benefit of eliminating Bone Sea and others, besides reducing Kong Ling's pawns, was another advantage.
If he failed, the Dark Association would also be depleted of talents, and new blood would continue to be promoted.
In that way, the Hidden Group could also seize the opportunity to insert some informants.
"Is there no other way?"
Xiao Feng asked slowly after a long silence.
"No!"
Ye Cangtian said calmly. He would not let everyone's efforts be in vain!
Seeing this, Xiao Feng nodded helplessly and said, "Then tell me, what do you need me for? I will do my best!"
He could see that the other party had made up his mind, and no amount of persuasion could change it.
Therefore, he could only go crazy with Ye Cangtian, and the chance of success would be one more point.
"It's very simple, I need a bait to lure Bone Sea and others out, and then kill them one by one!"
Ye Cangtian said calmly. At present, other forces in Ghost City had been basically swept away.
So if there was some chaos, Kong Ling would not be able to mobilize all his esteemed experts directly.
This meant that Ye Cangtian could not kill all the esteemed experts at once, but could only kill them one by one.
Therefore, before eliminating all the pawns, he must not arouse Kong Ling's suspicion.
Otherwise, if Kong Ling had helpers when he fought Kong Ling, his chances of winning might be greatly reduced.
For this reason, he needed to create some chaos in Ghost City, and then kill the people who came one by one, so as to divert Kong Ling's attention in a short period of time.
"Okay, no problem!"
"I believe that the remaining forces of other factions would be very willing to do such a thing. It will depend on you then."
Xiao Feng directly agreed after hearing the plan.
The remaining forces of other factions all deeply hated the Dark Association and should not refuse such cooperation.
With their help, Xiao Feng was not alone. Luring the snake out of its hole and completing this task should not be difficult.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian cupped his hands to Xiao Feng and said, "Thank you. You must be careful. I'll leave first. Too many people are watching me, so I can't delay too long!"
"We are both from the Hidden Group, so there's no need to be so formal!"
"You also need to be careful. I'm waiting for you and me to drink together after the matter is settled!"
Xiao Feng held Ye Cangtian's hand and said, then personally escorted him away from the small courtyard.
...
Dark Association Headquarters.
Lan Yue was directly taken to a secret room.
When the door of the secret room opened, Lan Yue's face darkened.
To be honest, she had thought that Kong Ling would be unfavorable to her, but she quickly dismissed this idea, as it was too blatant.
However, when she saw the room filled with various torture devices, she understood everything.
The next moment, she did not turn around and leave, nor did she try to escape. Instead, she walked in calmly.
She knew that the other party had lured her here and would never let her escape.
She also knew that the other party had sent her here to deal with Ye Cangtian. If she ran away, it would be tantamount to having something to hide, which would be detrimental to Ye Cangtian.
So she finally chose to stay.
"Heh heh, as expected of the esteemed expert promoted by me, you can still remain calm after coming here!"
Just as Lan Yue entered the room, a playful voice came over, and at the same time, the chair opposite her turned around.
Sitting on it was Kong Ling.
Lan Yue glanced at him faintly and said calmly, "Lord Kong Ling, didn't you say you wanted to ask me about some external matters and arrange a mission? What is the meaning of this now?"
