Seeing the two, Ye Cangtian was in no good mood.
"What? Lord Po Xiao, you won't even let people into your room now?"
"This time, I knocked on your door according to protocol."
Gou Hai looked at Po Xiao's somber expression and asked with a playful smile.
"Come in."
Ye Cangtian glanced at Gou Hai, then turned and walked into the room. He sat directly on the sofa in the living room and lit a cigarette.
Gou Hai and Zi Long sat down beside him.
"Gentlemen, let's not beat around the bush. Tell me directly, what brings you here?"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's unfriendly tone, Gou Hai took out a small letter tube from his Qiankun bag and took out the slip of paper inside.
He then threw it directly to Ye Cangtian and said with a smile, "This was personally written by Lord Kong Ling. Take a look for yourself!"
Huh?
Ye Cangtian's expression sank again. He quickly opened the rolled-up slip of paper, which only had a few small characters written on it.
"Order: Po Xiao, abandon all matters and return immediately! Kong Ling."
As expected, nothing good!
Looking at the handwriting on it, Ye Cangtian muttered to himself. Then he looked at Gou Hai and said faintly, "If there's nothing else, you two may leave!"
"Uh..."
Gou Hai and Zi Long were still smiling in their hearts. If Po Xiao left, the credit would definitely be theirs.
But at these words, the two were stunned.
The next moment, Gou Hai looked at Ye Cangtian and said sternly, "Po Xiao, are you still planning to disobey orders?"
"Heh, a general in the field does not have to obey orders!"
Ye Cangtian sneered. He knew Gou Hai's thoughts too well, so he was too lazy to say anything more and directly made a gesture to leave.
After all, at this time, he absolutely could not leave, otherwise Gou Hai would truly succeed.
"Alright, the order has been delivered to you. Whether you execute it or not is your problem. You'd better take care of yourself!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Gou Hai's heart immediately burst into laughter.
Now that Kong Ling had personally written the order, and Po Xiao still refused to obey, this matter would surely incur Kong Ling's great wrath in the future. At that time, Po Xiao would be doomed!
Therefore, he naturally wouldn't bother with Po Xiao's suicidal behavior.
After speaking, Gou Hai took Zi Long and swaggered out.
Just as they reached the door, Gou Hai saw a guard hurrying towards them.
"My lord, something bad has happened..."
Seeing the familiar guard, Gou Hai immediately slapped him. He didn't want Po Xiao to hear any news.
So he quickly pulled the guard aside and whispered to him.
Only then did he learn that the Hall of Light had already made a move against the Kong family.
Without another word, Gou Hai quickly called Zi Long and left the place.
On the other side, watching Gou Hai leave in a hurry, Ye Cangtian's brows furrowed.
Did the Light Squad see that Dilu had problems?
So they deliberately did not follow the original plan?
Although he hadn't heard what the guard reported, he could tell.
Gou Hai was so nervous that this matter should be related to the Light Squad, which was why he was muttering.
"My lord!"
Just as Ye Cangtian was lost in thought, Fei Yan pushed the door open and came directly to his side.
"My lord, the Hall of Light has sent a secret signal to Dilu!"
One sentence made Ye Cangtian's eyes brighten. This signal meant that Dilu had not been exposed.
It also meant that the news the guard had reported to Gou Hai was likely a feint by the Hall of Light.
After all, this was not the first time they had done such a thing.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but smile. This meant that Gou Hai and the others would be in vain.
"Fei Yan, you first notify Hong Mo, then you two quietly go to the Chu family. I'll go ahead and wait for you there!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Fei Yan quickly responded.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian had already left the room with Lan Yue.
...
Chu Family.
After a burst of killing sounds, the Chu family's guards and servants were scattered everywhere, from the outer court to the inner court, not a single living person remained.
All the living people of the Chu family had been forced into the ancestral hall.
With no more than forty to fifty people remaining, Chu Yuanji, covered in wounds, led the remaining five or six guards to block the entrance to the ancestral hall.
Chu Changying led the rest of the people, guarding the ancestral hall.
They knew this was a bloody retaliation from the Hall of Light, and they knew it would be difficult to survive today, so they had chosen this place in the end.
With their last bit of strength, they guarded here. If they could not succeed, they would return to the embrace of their Chu family ancestors.
Da da da...
With the sound of footsteps, the people from the Light Squad quickly surrounded the ancestral hall.
Among them, ten cardinal bishops blocked the main entrance of the ancestral hall.
Behind them was a bamboo chair carried by four divine envoys, and on the chair lay a middle-aged man holding a feather fan.
This person was You Jin, the deputy commander of the Silver Armor Knights of the Inner Hall of Light.
Originally, destroying a family like the Chu family did not require so many people, nor did it require him to appear in person.
But he wanted to personally destroy Chu Yuanji and Chu Changying to quell his anger!
Besides that, he also wanted to let everyone in Xiyin City know that the Hall of Light was immensely powerful, and offending the Hall of Light would only lead to death!
"Chu Yuanji, resistance is futile!"
"If you want to reduce a little pain, then kill the small fry around you and bring that old fellow Chu Changying out for me!"
"If I'm happy, I might spare your dog's life!"
Looking at the heavily wounded Chu Yuanji, You Jin on the bamboo chair wore a mocking smile.
He looked like a wolf seeing its prey.
"You Jin! As the saying goes, it's best to part amicably. Since we have severed our cooperation, why are you forcing us so hard!"
"You also know that the Chu family poses no threat to your Hall of Light!"
Chu Yuanji looked at You Jin with bloodshot eyes.
If before, he had respected You Jin, even willing to obey his orders and work like a horse, now, he only felt hatred towards You Jin.
Nearly two hundred people in the Chu family had been reduced to only thirty to forty people under You Jin's revenge.
Among those who had died in battle were many of his direct brothers and sisters.
This deep familial hatred made him despise You Jin to the bone, wishing he could skin You Jin alive.
However, with the last bloodline of the Chu family still in the ancestral hall, he had to speak cautiously, hoping that the other party would put down his butcher knife in the end.
"Part amicably? That doesn't exist!"
"Any family or force that cooperates with the Hall of Light must cooperate until the end. If anyone leaves unilaterally and severs ties like the Chu family, then where is the prestige of the Hall of Light?"
"So, don't blame me for being ruthless. Since you've made your choice, you have to pay the price for your choice!"
You Jin glanced at Chu Yuanji, and a hint of ruthlessness was added to his smile.
The Chu family's open severance of relations with the Hall of Light was, in his opinion, akin to throwing the reputation of the Hall of Light to the ground and then stomping on it fiercely.
A mere Chu family dared to treat the Hall of Light like this. If this were to spread, wouldn't the Hall of Light become a laughingstock?
Therefore, he had to destroy the Chu family to let everyone know the consequences of offending the Hall of Light!
"You Jin! Don't think you've won!"
"Our Chu family also has backup measures. Let me tell you, the Dark Association has long agreed to protect our Chu family, and I believe they are already on their way!"
"So I advise you to leave now while there's still time!"
Chu Yuanji, seeing that You Jin was unwilling to let them go, had no choice but to bring up the Dark Association, hoping to deter the other party.
He was already covered in injuries. He didn't have the confidence to face You Jin, let alone any one of the ten cardinal bishops.
If this continued, the Chu family would be doomed.
"Heh, the Dark Association? They won't come!"
Hearing Chu Yuanji's words, You Jin burst into laughter and continued, "I forgot to tell you, before coming here, I sent people to attack the Kong family..."
He had already arranged a feint. He didn't believe that the Dark Association wouldn't be mobilized.
After all, the Dark Association was desperately looking for them.
So as long as there was any news, the Dark Association would swarm like a pack of mad dogs.
Now, those people from the Dark Association were probably being led all over the mountains and plains by his subordinates!
Even if the Dark Association came, with the strength they had here, they could handle it.
