"No!"
Hun Ba stated decisively, dismissing Hun Jiu's idea and offering a simple explanation.
Now that Yi Feipeng had returned in disguise, something must have happened at the Swift Wind Tower.
To put it bluntly, Yi Feipeng must have had a deep conflict with Wan Mingxuan, otherwise, Yi Feipeng wouldn't have needed to disguise himself.
Besides that, don't forget the news recently released by Swift Wind Tower.
Swift Wind Tower had just pinned the Jinling City incident on Ye Cangtian.
This situation made it inevitable that Ye Zhengchen would not ally with Wan Mingxuan!
Not only would they not ally, but they might even engage in a major battle one day.
If that were to happen, Hun Ba and Hun Jiu might be able to pick up some benefits here.
After all, the Four Seals were all on Ye Cangtian.
Hearing this, Hun Jiu looked at Hun Ba in confusion and asked, "Then if we reveal their identities now, won't Wan Mingxuan directly move against them? Isn't that a good thing?"
Hun Ba glanced at him and said faintly, "If Wan Mingxuan and Ye Cangtian were to fight now, who do you think would have a higher chance of winning?"
Hun Jiu's eyes darted as he heard this.
After a long silence, he finally said, "Wan Mingxuan would likely have a higher chance of winning, especially since this is Swift Wind Tower! And on the surface, the Tower Master and the Three Tower Masters both support him!"
"Then it's settled!"
Hun Ba looked at Hun Jiu and continued, "If the Four Seals were to fall into the hands of Swift Wind Tower, with our current strength, do you think we could retrieve them?"
This...
Hun Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed.
If even Ye Cangtian and the others couldn't gain any advantage here, then what were he and Hun Ba worth!
Thinking of this, he looked at Hun Ba and said, "Hun Ba, you really have a better mind. Just tell me what to do, and I'll follow your lead!"
Hun Ba smiled and said, "If we have an opportunity, we'll deepen the conflict between both sides. If we don't have an opportunity, we don't need to force anything. The most important thing is to preserve our strength..."
Hun Ba's intention was simple: even without their instigation, Ye Cangtian and the others would eventually have to fight Swift Wind Tower.
In that case, why wouldn't they sit back and reap the rewards?
Deepening the conflict between the two sides was merely to hasten their confrontation.
Hun Jiu nodded at this, then said, "One last question, if we let them fight and Ye Cangtian and the others are defeated, what then?"
Hun Ba smiled slightly and said, "I'll tell you, collect more information daily. Ye Cangtian is the type of person who won't make a move without absolute certainty!"
Therefore, Hun Ba believed that as long as Ye Cangtian dared to make a move, he would already have a surefire chance of victory.
This was also why he did not expose Ye Cangtian.
After all, Swift Wind Tower was very strong, and even if Ye Cangtian was confident of victory, he would likely have to reveal all his trump cards and be severely weakened.
At that time, if the two of them emerged to clean up the mess, they would undoubtedly gain unimaginable benefits!
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Hun Jiu gave him a thumbs-up. He was truly impressed by his strategic thinking.
...
The Inn.
Seven to eight days had passed since Wang Ying's accident.
During this period, Swift Wind City had been very quiet. No more tragic incidents occurred, and the Three Tower Masters did not continue to trouble Ye Cangtian.
Everything seemed to have calmed down.
In the room at this moment, Ye Cangtian was leisurely smoking, appearing very relaxed.
Beside him, Yi Feipeng's face was grim.
Finally, Yi Feipeng couldn't help but approach Ye Cangtian and say, "Kid, what are you still waiting for!"
In Yi Feipeng's opinion, now that Wan Mingxuan had shown himself and personally resolved their troubles, they should take the opportunity to visit the Tower Master, ostensibly to express their gratitude.
This might clarify everything and bring Wan Mingxuan down!
But Ye Cangtian had not done so, which he found baffling.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian turned to Yi Feipeng, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "I'm waiting for Wan Mingxuan to be prepared!"
Huh?
Yi Feipeng was stunned by this statement. Wasn't this kind of action supposed to be unexpected?
Only through surprise could they have a greater chance of victory.
If they waited for the opponent to be prepared, wouldn't their side be in danger?
Thinking this, he stepped forward and touched Ye Cangtian's forehead, "Kid, are you crazy?"
"Not crazy!"
Ye Cangtian looked at him and continued, "Going now would be possible, but even if we win, it would only be to eliminate Wan Mingxuan alone. Wan Mingxuan's trump cards might remain."
"But if we give the opponent a chance to prepare, they will reveal their trump cards one by one, allowing us to capture them all in one fell swoop!"
Ye Cangtian indicated that with his previous cold demeanor, Wan Mingxuan should have become wary of them.
Therefore, he would not easily summon him unless the opponent was fully prepared to handle all situations, and only then would they summon him.
In fact, the fact that Wan Mingxuan had remained inactive for seven to eight consecutive days, in Ye Cangtian's opinion, meant that Wan Mingxuan was preparing his fallback.
At the same time, when a person is most confident, they are often also the most arrogant and negligent.
At that time, if they wanted to approach the Tower Master, their task would become much easier.
Listening to Ye Cangtian's words, Yi Feipeng's eyes darted around.
After a moment, he completely understood, but as he understood, new questions arose in his mind.
The next moment, he looked at Ye Cangtian and asked, "Kid, if Wan Mingxuan is fully prepared, can we defeat him?"
After all, this was Swift Wind Tower, and according to Ye Cangtian's implication, Wan Mingxuan had colluded with the Three Tower Masters and controlled most of the city's guards.
If a fight broke out, with only the three of them, it would be difficult to defeat the opponent.
After all, there was an old Chinese saying: "Many ants can bite an elephant to death!"
"Heh, don't worry."
Seeing Yi Feipeng's anxious look, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly.
He said, "With our strength, even if we can't defeat the opponent, we have a great chance of retreating safely. Besides, we might not be alone!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Yi Feipeng immediately became confused and couldn't understand his meaning for a moment.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian slowly said, "Don't forget the Wang Ying family's tragedy!"
Although Ye Cangtian had not left the inn in the past two days, he had heard some news from the constant flow of people in and out of the inn.
The people from Swift Wind Tower had been investigating the Wang Ying family's tragic case.
This indicated that Wan Mingxuan basically believed that the matter had nothing to do with the Tower Master's eldest and second disciples.
Otherwise, Wan Mingxuan would have already used this as an excuse to trouble his two senior brothers.
After all, the two of them were the biggest obstacles to his path to the Tower Master's position.
Furthermore, if it were truly the work of the Tower Master's eldest and second disciples, then the two of them should have at least shown themselves, right?
At the very least, there should have been rumors about the two disciples.
But until now, neither of them had appeared, nor were there any rumors about them, which basically confirmed that they had nothing to do with the Wang Ying family's tragedy.
If this was the case, then there was only one answer: there was someone from another faction within Swift Wind Tower.
