On the other side, seeing Yao Bao'er fall silent, Ye Cangtian looked at Hei Cheng.
"Hei Cheng, I need to ask you something. I want to lead the soldiers of Yulong Mountain Villa out of the city. Do you have a way to avoid the eyes and ears of the Five Poisons Sect?"
Uh.
Hei Cheng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then understood. The other party wanted to launch a surprise attack on the Five Poisons Sect!
Thinking this, he slowly shook his head and said, "Although I am an elder, these eyes and ears in Jilong City are not under my jurisdiction.
I don't know their specific distribution, so it's almost impossible to avoid them!"
"However..."
Hei Cheng paused and continued, "However, I can lead you out of the city openly. But in that case, I cannot bring too many people, otherwise, it will still attract attention..."
Hmm?
Ye Cangtian's brows furrowed upon hearing this.
According to Hei Cheng, they could indeed go to the Five Poisons Sect without anyone noticing, but the problem was, if they brought too few people, they might not be able to catch them all!
If the Sect Master were to escape, it would be a never-ending disaster!
With this thought, Ye Cangtian said, "No rush, let's wait and see..."
...
Time flew by, and five days passed.
Ye Cangtian had not made any moves. He was waiting for the Five Poisons Sect's reaction.
The news of Du Chuan leading people to annihilate Du Huo and others had already spread like wildfire, and it had likely reached the headquarters of the Five Poisons Sect long ago.
Coupled with Hei Cheng's description of the Sect Master, Ye Cangtian believed that the Five Poisons Sect would definitely start investigating Du Chuan, and might even take direct action.
This was exactly what he was waiting for.
Therefore, he had dispersed all the people from Yulong Mountain Villa to constantly monitor Du Chuan. Once there was any development, he would appear immediately.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
At this moment, Ye Cangtian's door was knocked in a rhythmic pattern.
Hearing this sound, Ye Cangtian quickly looked at Yao Bao'er, who immediately understood and went to open the door.
As expected, the person who arrived was Zuo Bai.
He walked directly into the room and came before Ye Cangtian, saying, "Villa Master, we just received news that a team of a hundred people has quietly entered the city..."
Zuo Bai indicated that these were divided into two parts.
Most of them were hiding around the Hidden Group, while their leader had directly entered the Hidden Group.
"It seems they have arrived."
A playful smile appeared on Ye Cangtian's face.
Saying this, he looked at Zuo Bai and said faintly, "Zuo Bai, closely monitor these people, be ready to take action at any time, and await my command!"
"Yes, I will arrange it immediately."
Zuo Bai immediately responded. Seeing that Ye Cangtian had no other arrangements, he withdrew from the room.
At the same time, Ye Cangtian, accompanied by the three women, walked towards the Hidden Group's main hall.
...
Division Hall.
A middle-aged man sat by the side of the hall, his gaze maliciously fixed on Du Chuan, who occupied the main seat.
A moment later, he put down his teacup and then spoke in a gloomy tone, "Du Chuan, I want an explanation from you. Why did you kill Du Huo and the others!"
As the voice fell, Du Chuan immediately became nervous.
From the moment the other party entered the hall, he knew that they were definitely investigating the matter of Du Huo.
If his answer did not satisfy the other party, he might have to meet his end today.
After a moment of silence, Du Chuan said, "Lord Du Xin, things are not as you think. Please listen to my explanation..."
Before Du Chuan could explain, a guard from the Hidden Group entered the hall.
"Lord Du Chuan, Death God and the others are heading this way."
Upon hearing this news, Du Chuan was slightly stunned, and then quickly looked at Du Xin and said, "Lord Du Xin, you heard that too. Death God is coming. You should hide for now!"
"Alright."
Du Xin's eyes flickered. He knew that he was no match for Death God and did not want to confront him directly.
After responding, he walked towards the inner room beside the hall.
Tap, tap, tap...
Just as Du Xin left, footsteps could be heard from outside the hall. In a blink of an eye, Ye Cangtian and the three women, including Yao Bao'er, arrived in the hall.
"Villa Master Death God has arrived. May I know what you require?"
"You can say it directly. As long as I can do it, I will do my best!"
Looking at the other party, Du Chuan quickly said.
Du Xin was in the inner room beside them, and he did not want to get entangled with Death God too much, lest the matter be exposed. Therefore, upon seeing the other party, he went straight to the point.
"It's nothing major."
"It's just that I've been busy these past few days and forgot some things."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian sat down. Seeing a cup of tea emitting heat on a small table nearby, he couldn't help but smile.
Now, besides the four of them, only Du Chuan was in the hall.
The tea was still steaming, which indicated that the visitor had just left. If this were the case, with his spiritual power, he should have sensed it.
However, he did not sense anything, which meant that this person was still within the Hidden Group.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian quietly released his spiritual power, and indeed, in the next moment, he sensed the presence in the inner room beside them.
On the other side, seeing Ye Cangtian glance at the teacup on the table, Du Chuan's heart became extremely nervous.
"I just sent off a friend."
Du Chuan quickly explained, then immediately changed the subject, saying, "May I ask what you forgot, Lord Death God? Is there anything you need my help with?"
"No, no, no, I don't need your help with this!"
Ye Cangtian smiled and waved his hand, then continued, "I've come this time to express my gratitude."
"Ah? Gratitude?"
Du Chuan was stunned and looked at the other party doubtfully.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, it's gratitude! Firstly, thank you for taking care of us and the soldiers of Yulong Mountain Villa for so long.
Secondly, thank you for your support and for eliminating Du Huo. Without your appearance, we wouldn't have been able to annihilate the bandits of the Five Poisons Sect, and there might have been some stragglers, which would have ruined our great plan!"
Uh...
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Du Chuan's mouth twitched.
The other party's words were only half-true.
He had indeed taken care of Death God and others, but he had not taken care of the people from Yulong Mountain Villa!
Also, that night, although he led people to support them and eliminated Du Huo, seeing the situation, even if he hadn't gone, the people from the Five Poisons Sect wouldn't have escaped!
So what did the other party mean by saying this?
For a moment, Du Chuan hadn't reacted when he saw Ye Cangtian take out two small porcelain bottles.
"These are two pills, one is the Enlightenment Pill, and the other is the Nine Heavens Life Extending Pill. Please accept them!"
This...
Looking at the two pills, Du Chuan's eyes instantly lit up.
Although the Enlightenment Pill was no longer of much use given his current cultivation, he could reward it to his other subordinates.
Perhaps he could even gain another quasi-heavenly ranked expert.
As for the Nine Heavens Life Extending Pill, it had powerful healing effects. Keeping it for himself was like having an extra life.
Thinking this, he quickly said, "Thank you, Villa Master. I was only doing what I should have done. Why are you being so polite? You truly make me feel unworthy!"
Despite his words, Du Chuan's hands had already reached out to take the two small porcelain bottles.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "These are all you deserve. From now on, as long as you assist me in destroying the Five Poisons Sect, I will have other great rewards, and I will not disappoint you!"
"My Lord, rest assured, I have long hated the Five Poisons Sect to the bone!"
"As long as you give the order, no matter if it's going through mountains of knives or seas of fire, I will not frown. I guarantee to complete the task perfectly..."
Upon hearing this, Du Chuan quickly vowed.
Ye Cangtian nodded with satisfaction and then said, "Very good, then I will tell you about another matter!"
"Please speak, my Lord." Du Chuan made a gesture of invitation.
Ye Cangtian was not polite and directly said, "As you know, the people of Yulong Mountain Villa have been exposed. If we go to the Five Poisons Sect again, it might not have the desired effect.
Therefore, in order to destroy the Five Poisons Sect, I need the support of the Hidden Group."
This...
Upon hearing this, Du Chuan's expression immediately changed.
The guards of the Hidden Group were not strong. In a fight against the Five Poisons Sect, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and even risk complete annihilation.
The most crucial point was that he had already pledged allegiance to the Five Poisons Sect.
If he led his troops back and eliminated the Five Poisons Sect, it would be fine, but if he failed to eliminate them, what would happen to him?
He would likely live in fear of retaliation from the Five Poisons Sect for the rest of his life.
Thinking this, Du Chuan quickly said, "Lord Death God, it's not that I don't want to help, but the strength comparison between the Hidden Group and the Five Poisons Sect is vastly different. Even if we make a move, it won't have much effect!"
