"You don't need to worry about that."
Ye Cangtian smiled and continued, "Leave the strong cultivators of the Five Poisons Sect to Yulong Villa. You just need to deal with the small fry. Is that a problem for you?"
Uh...
Hearing this, Du Chuan was instantly speechless.
Even if the Hidden Organization was weaker, dealing with some minor figures shouldn't be an issue.
But he couldn't agree to the other party's terms!
As he was contemplating this, Ye Cangtian's voice reached him.
"What? Do you find it difficult?"
"If that's the case, then forget I said anything. I will directly contact the Hidden Organization headquarters and have them send more support..."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian's expression turned grim, and his gaze grew cold.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."
Seeing Ye Cangtian's expression, Du Chuan waved his hands repeatedly and continued, "My lord, there's no need to be angry. I just want to be cautious, as this concerns the lives of the soldiers."
"Hmph! Do you think I don't understand what you're saying?" Ye Cangtian retorted with a cold snort.
"No, no, no, I was overthinking it."
Seeing Ye Cangtian's anger, Du Chuan waved his hands repeatedly and continued, "Since the Villa Master has already made arrangements, I will cooperate. Please give your orders."
There was no other way. If the God of Death truly contacted the Hidden Organization headquarters, they would definitely send reinforcements.
Besides, the headquarters would then investigate him, making it difficult for him to explain such matters.
Therefore, he had no choice but to agree now, to stabilize the God of Death first, and then pass the message to the Five Poisons Sect, so they could prepare.
"Hmph, that's more like it."
Hearing Du Chuan's words, Ye Cangtian's expression softened considerably.
He continued, "Allocate half of the Hidden Organization guards to me. The other half will surround the Five Poisons Sect headquarters. Not a single fish should escape!"
"Alright! We'll do as the Villa Master says!"
"I guarantee that the mission will be completed perfectly, and no one from the Five Poisons Sect will be let go!"
Du Chuan gritted his teeth, agreeing to everything, and continued, "Villa Master, your people will be delivered this afternoon. When do you plan to take action?"
"Wait for my arrangements," Ye Cangtian glanced at him and said indifferently. Without waiting for the other party to speak again, he left the hall directly.
Giggle...
Watching the God of Death's retreating back, Du Chuan let out a series of giggles.
This God of Death had such impeccable timing. The matters discussed today were likely all overheard by Du Xin. He would have to spend a lot of effort explaining himself again.
"Du Chuan, what else do you have to say!"
Just then, a cold voice came from the side.
Du Xin, who had been in the inner chamber, walked out slowly with a cold expression.
Just as Du Chuan had predicted, he had heard everything and was still convinced that Du Chuan had betrayed the Five Poisons Sect.
"Lord Du Xin, please don't misunderstand!"
Feeling the killing intent gradually emanating from the other party, Du Chuan broke out in a cold sweat, becoming extremely nervous.
If he were misunderstood by the other party, it would be troublesome.
Thinking this, he quickly said, "My lord, I did kill your Elder Du Huo, but I brought people there to save him.
However, by the time I arrived, only the gravely injured Elder Du Huo remained!"
Seeing the killing intent intensify slightly, Du Chuan quickly explained, "I was worried that Elder Du Huo would fall into the hands of the God of Death and expose my and the Five Poisons Sect's secrets, so I had no choice but to kill him!"
Hmm?
Upon hearing this, Du Xin's expression softened slightly. After all, Du Huo was an elder of the Five Poisons Sect and knew many secrets.
If anything were to be extracted from him under duress by the God of Death, it would be a tremendous loss for the Five Poisons Sect.
However, he couldn't just take Du Chuan's word for it!
If it were truly as Du Chuan said, then why did the God of Death give Du Chuan two high-grade pills as a thank-you gift last time?
Did the God of Death have a problem with his intelligence? Or did he have nowhere to put the pills?
Thinking this, he looked at Du Chuan and snorted, "Do you think I'm that easy to fool? When you explain, if what you said is true, why did the God of Death send you a thank-you gift!"
This...
Hearing this, Du Chuan's face turned bright red, and he was unable to utter a single word.
Could it be that the God of Death already knew about his betrayal, and had deliberately set a trap?
This was impossible!
Du Chuan immediately dismissed the thought. If the God of Death truly knew about it, he would have learned it from Du Huo.
But the problem was, it had been many days since Du Huo's incident. If the God of Death knew there was something wrong with him, he would have made a move long ago, and would he have waited until now?
Therefore, the God of Death wasn't setting a trap for him, but genuinely wanted to reward him. But how could he explain all this to Du Xin?
After a moment of thought, Du Chuan's eyes lit up, and an idea came to his mind.
He quickly spoke, "Lord Du Xin, as you've heard, he wanted to borrow soldiers from me, so he gave me two pills in advance to prevent me from refusing!"
"Borrowing soldiers! Hmph!"
It was better not to mention this. The more he mentioned it, the more Du Xin's expression darkened.
He had seen Du Chuan's confident stance earlier, vowing to destroy the Five Poisons Sect, and he believed it to be genuine.
Hearing the wrong tone from Du Chuan, he quickly said, "Lord Du Xin, please don't misunderstand!
What I said just now was a temporary measure. You should know that the Hidden Organization headquarters has already given me orders..."
Du Chuan stated that if he didn't cooperate, others would, and he would then be investigated.
Rather than be investigated, it was better to agree to the matter.
Firstly, he could constantly transmit information to the Five Poisons Sect, allowing them to prepare in advance.
Secondly, at a critical moment, he could also help the Five Poisons Sect deal with the God of Death.
He believed that if he suddenly attacked, the people from Yulong Villa would definitely not be able to react in time.
Hearing this, Du Xin's eyes rolled.
If it were as he said, it would be a good plan.
Thinking this, he looked at Du Chuan and asked, "How can I trust you?"
Upon hearing this, Du Chuan quickly said, "Lord Du Xin, the God of Death and the people from Yulong Villa are all here now. If I were to reveal everything to the God of Death, do you think you could leave alive?"
Hearing this, Du Xin slowly nodded.
He was no match for the God of Death. If he were discovered by him, he would surely die. This showed that Du Chuan was still loyal to the Five Poisons Sect.
Thinking this, a smile finally appeared on his face, and he said, "I will have someone convey everything you've said to the Sect Master. Whether the Sect Master believes it or not will depend on your fate!"
He paused and continued, "During this period, I will stay here. Firstly, to await the Sect Master's orders.
Secondly, if you obtain any information about Yulong Villa's actions, I will immediately transmit it back to the Five Poisons Sect..."
"This is excellent. With Lord Du Xin by my side, I will surely not be misunderstood again!"
Hearing Du Xin's words, although Du Chuan was unhappy, he still put on a fawning smile.
There was no other way. His life was now in the other party's hands, so all he could do was try his best to please him.
...
Creak!
The door opened, and Ye Cangtian walked in with a grim expression.
Seeing Ye Cangtian's expression, Yao Bao'er and the other two women immediately gathered around.
"What's wrong?" Xue Qi asked.
Ye Cangtian glanced at Xue Qi and said grimly, "Du Chuan is too deeply poisoned. I'm afraid there's no turning back..."
After Ye Cangtian left the hall, he didn't return immediately. Instead, he took a detour and sneaked back near the hall.
After all, he knew there was someone in the inner chamber and wanted to go back to listen to the conversation between Du Chuan and the Five Poisons Sect.
If their conversation broke down and a fight ensued, it would save him trouble. He could simply order Yulong Villa to take action and eliminate the Five Poisons Sect.
However, things didn't go as he had hoped. Du Chuan's desperate attempts to argue had ultimately swayed Du Xin.
Therefore, the scenario he had hoped for did not occur.
Logically speaking, this was normal, and he wouldn't be angry because of it.
But the other party wanted to be a mole for the Five Poisons Sect, stay by his side, provide intelligence to the Five Poisons Sect, and even make a surprise attack. This was what ignited his anger.
At the same time, Du Chuan's words proved that he was wholeheartedly devoted to the Five Poisons Sect.
