Yi Feipeng slowly revealed everything.
Because of the setback in Longcheng, Wan Mingxuan wanted him to conceal the truth and instigate a war between the Gale Tower and the Hidden Group.
The goal was to use the forces of the Gale Tower to eliminate the Hidden Group, thereby avenging Wan Mingxuan's humiliation.
Yi Feipeng did not agree to such a matter. The Hidden Group was not weak now, and if war broke out between the two sides, even if the Gale Tower won, its strength would be greatly diminished.
The price was too high.
Besides, this was inherently Wan Mingxuan's conspiracy, and he did not want to be a tool for Wan Mingxuan's revenge.
However, he never expected that Wan Mingxuan would hold a grudge because of this.
On the way back, through unknown means, the Five Poisons Sect poisoned him with two potent toxins and attacked him.
Fortunately, his cultivation was strong, and he fought his way out. After much deliberation, he came to the Hidden Group.
After all, Wan Mingxuan was going back to the Gale Tower, so he absolutely could not return. Otherwise, before he could even see the Tower Master, he might fall victim to the opponent's schemes.
"Wan Mingxuan!"
I never thought this guy was so insidious. If I had known this earlier, I should have killed him back then!
Listening to Yi Feipeng's words, Ye Cangtian's brows immediately furrowed.
At that time, for Yi Feipeng's sake, he had let Wan Mingxuan go, and it was considered a favor to the Gale Tower.
But Wan Mingxuan not only did not show gratitude, but now he was instigating a war between the Gale Tower and the Hidden Group.
If this plan succeeded, how many people would die unjustly!
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian glanced at Yi Feipeng and then asked, "Based on your understanding of the Tower Master, after Wan Mingxuan returns, could he instigate a war between the two sides?"
"If it were before, the possibility would not be too great."
"Although the Tower Master wants to obtain the Four Great Seals, he would not easily attack the Hidden Group..."
Yi Feipeng explained upon hearing this.
Although the Hidden Group was not one of the five peak powers, everyone had witnessed its rise.
Moreover, there were three Heavenly-level powerhouses stationed within the Hidden Group. If a war truly broke out, even the Gale Tower would find it difficult to gain an advantage.
Once the Gale Tower's strength was greatly reduced, even if they obtained the Four Great Seals, it would be difficult to defend them.
Therefore, the Tower Master would not easily initiate a war, but would only engage in minor skirmishes with the Hidden Group to exert pressure.
However, judging by the current situation, that could no longer be said.
He was poisoned and seriously injured. In Wan Mingxuan's eyes, he was likely a dead man.
If his guess was correct, Wan Mingxuan should have attributed his "death" to the Hidden Group.
If that were the case, it might completely enrage the Tower Master, leading to an irreconcilable conflict with the Hidden Group!
"It seems this matter needs to be clarified as soon as possible."
Ye Cangtian muttered, looking at Yi Feipeng, and asked, "If you can meet the Tower Master, can you explain everything clearly to prevent this war?"
"I should be able to."
Yi Feipeng nodded and continued, "The problem now is that it is very difficult for me to see the Tower Master. Since Wan Mingxuan did not see my corpse, he will surely be on high alert."
"I can escort you personally. He cannot stop me!"
Ye Cangtian said lightly, as he did not take Wan Mingxuan seriously at all.
"It's difficult."
Yi Feipeng frowned and continued, "Now, if you reveal your identity on the Gale Tower's territory, people will likely come looking for you."
"If anything else happens, it will only deepen the conflict between our two sides," Yi Feipeng added.
"That's easy to handle, I have my own ways," Ye Cangtian said.
"Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome."
Yi Feipeng glanced at Ye Cangtian and continued, "As long as my injuries heal, I can naturally return to the Gale Tower and explain everything!"
"I'll still escort you. This way, it will avoid any accidents," Ye Cangtian said.
Ye Cangtian remained silent for a long time before finally making a decision.
Now that Yi Feipeng had been saved, clarifying everything was not a problem.
The key was that even if this matter was clarified, the Gale Tower might not necessarily let it go.
Therefore, after much consideration, Ye Cangtian decided to go there personally to try and dispel the Gale Tower's covetous intentions towards the Four Great Seals.
On the other side, seeing Ye Cangtian's insistence, Yi Feipeng nodded after a moment of silence.
Upon seeing this, Ye Cangtian took out a Nine Heavens Life Extending Pill from his Qiankun bag and threw it to him. "Heal your injuries first. We will depart immediately after you recover."
"Okay."
Yi Feipeng responded, did not stand on ceremony, and directly swallowed the Nine Heavens Life Extending Pill.
He then sat cross-legged on the bed, rapidly absorbing the medicinal effects.
After leaving the secret chamber, Ye Cangtian brought Dongfang Mingyue and Lan Yue to the Qingfeng Hall.
The next moment, he looked at Dongfang Mingyue and said with a smile, "Sister Mingyue, congratulations. From now on, you can take a vacation..."
Huh?
Dongfang Mingyue was slightly stunned, then quickly said, "You mean the trip to the Blazing Fire Academy doesn't count? I can continue my vacation?"
Ye Cangtian gave her a look and said exasperatedly, "Of course it doesn't count. Don't forget, the location I assigned for you is the Ghost City in the Dark Ruins!"
"Hehe, good little brother, sister really loves you to death!"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Mingyue became excited.
She had thought that the trip to the Blazing Fire Academy would be her vacation. Although the entire process was not pleasant, she was satisfied.
But now that Ye Cangtian said this, it was simply an unexpected surprise!
Thinking about it, Dongfang Mingyue became serious and said, "Stinky brother, the Hidden Group has a lot of matters to attend to now. Are you sure you're letting me leave? Can you handle it?"
"Hehe, it has little to do with me. It's not a question of whether I can handle it!"
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, his gaze falling on Lan Yue beside him, the implication being that everything would be handed over to Lan Yue.
Sensing Ye Cangtian's gaze, Dongfang Mingyue also looked at Lan Yue and said, "Lan Yue, can you manage the Hidden Group for a while longer?"
Lan Yue pouted at Ye Cangtian upon hearing this, and said helplessly, "I've already been sold out by my junior brother, so I have no say. I'll do as you arrange."
"Haha, don't say that. I'll make it up to you properly when I get back!"
Dongfang Mingyue laughed heartily, and then, as if afraid he would change his mind, she spoke once and turned to leave the office.
In the recent period, Lan Yue had been managing the entire Hidden Group, and everything had been going quite well. Therefore, she was much more at ease leaving this time than the last.
Watching Dongfang Mingyue's departing figure, the smile on Ye Cangtian's face vanished.
He looked at Lan Yue and said sternly, "Senior sister, you don't need to worry about the western region. I will handle it personally. There is only one force you need to guard against for now."
Hmm?
Lan Yue looked at him in confusion upon hearing this and asked, "Junior brother, which force are you referring to?"
"Feiyun Pavilion!"
Ye Cangtian said decisively. Currently, three peak powers had appeared: the Gale Tower, the Blazing Fire Academy, and Feiyun Pavilion.
Among these three powers, the Blazing Fire Academy was essentially settled.
The Gale Tower situation would also be resolved by him escorting Yi Feipeng back to resolve the conflict.
Finally, there was Feiyun Pavilion. He had personally killed Hun Wu of Feiyun Pavilion, so he assumed Feiyun Pavilion would not let it go.
Moreover, judging by their actions, Feiyun Pavilion would definitely resort to any means to achieve its goals. If that were the case, it would be difficult to avoid conflict between the Hidden Group and Feiyun Pavilion.
Since that was the case, Ye Cangtian naturally would not sit idly by and would certainly make arrangements first.
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Lan Yue slowly nodded.
Then, she spoke with difficulty, "It's not difficult to deploy the Hidden Group's guards around Feiyun Pavilion. The key is that if these people are transferred away, this area will become empty."
Lan Yue stated that the Hidden Group had limited elites. If they could guard the east, they couldn't guard the west.
Therefore, if these guards were transferred away, if anything happened in other cities, it would be too far to reach.
"It's fine, there's still Elder Long and Senior Hao Tian!"
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly. Both Elder Long and Hao Tian were Heavenly-level powerhouses. Even without a single soldier, they could quell a disturbance.
After a pause, Ye Cangtian continued, "Don't forget, Sister Mingyue is about to go to Ghost City. I've already asked Sister Mingyue to borrow troops from the Dark Association. They will be here soon."
Ye Cangtian specifically instructed that although troops were borrowed this time, they should not be made public for now, and these people must remain hidden.
He also wanted to see who harbored ambitions towards the Hidden Group and who would make a move against it when the Hidden Group was preoccupied!
"Okay."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Lan Yue immediately breathed a sigh of relief. With support from the Dark Association, everything would be easily resolved.
The two chatted for a while longer, and then Ye Cangtian left the Qingfeng Hall.
