Silently releasing a trace of spiritual energy, Ye Cangtian found that the opponent's weak spiritual energy was quite chaotic.
This clearly meant the person had lost consciousness and become a controlled puppet!
He had encountered similar situations many times during his battles with the Feiyun Pavilion. The only difference was that Wu Haodong's eyes appeared more peculiar, and his aura was more violent.
As he thought this, he glanced at the surrounding guards. Among them were several captains, their eyes also blood-red.
Without a doubt, he understood everything.
It was evident that the people from Feiyun Pavilion had controlled Wu Haodong and these captains, thus mobilizing the numerous guards of the Swift Wind Tower.
"Many people have wanted to tear me to shreds, yet I am still alive and well."
Ye Cangtian glanced at them disdainfully and continued, "Enough with the nonsense. If you're going to fight, do it quickly. I'm in a hurry to get back and rest!"
He knew in his heart that others couldn't see that Wu Haodong and the others were being controlled. Therefore, even if he told the truth, no one would believe him.
Thus, Ye Cangtian didn't intend to waste any more words; acting directly was the best approach.
As soon as Ye Cangtian's voice fell, Wu Haodong did not hesitate, letting out an angry roar.
"Kill!"
The next moment, the thousand surrounding guards drew their weapons and slowly advanced towards Ye Cangtian.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian turned to the guard beside him and said lightly, "You must bear witness for me! They are trying to kill me, so to survive, I can only act."
"Understood, understood."
The guard beside him was already trembling with fear at the situation.
Even if Ye Cangtian was powerful, if a thousand guards were fearless, he might not be able to win!
But now, those around him completely disregarded his safety, leaving him with no choice but to rely on Ye Cangtian. Therefore, he naturally agreed to Ye Cangtian's request.
Besides, he had intended to seek an explanation from Wan Mingxuan regarding this matter anyway!
"You don't need to take action. Just protect yourself."
Ye Cangtian said, and his figure flickered.
As soon as he entered the crowd, he moved like a phantom, darting rapidly. Wherever he passed, cries of agony followed.
Ye Cangtian did not kill them, only incapacitating the guards or rendering them unable to fight back.
After all, he had met Feng Lingzi, and the old man was quite reasonable. If he were to kill all these guards now, it would be difficult to explain to Feng Lingzi and Yi Feipeng.
"Hurry! Surround and intercept him!"
"We must kill him today..."
Amidst the guards, Wu Haodong watched the Hidden Dragon flicker continuously, with none of the surrounding guards able to intercept him. He roared in anger.
If these thousand guards couldn't even deal with one Hidden Dragon, it would be too embarrassing!
Although Wu Haodong was anxious, the guards were doing their best, but the outcome remained unchanged.
The next moment, Wu Haodong's gaze fell upon the guard by the carriage, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
He then flashed over to the guard.
The guard was immediately terrified. Although he possessed Earth-level skill, compared to the opponent, he was nothing!
Now that the opponent was heading directly for him, he shouted and tried his best to dodge.
*Snap!*
With a slight sound, Wu Haodong grabbed the guard by the neck and lifted him into the air.
Huh?
On the other side, Ye Cangtian's brows furrowed upon hearing the guard's cry.
He suddenly threw a punch, and a guard in front of him was sent flying like a cannonball, knocking over all the guards behind him.
Using this opening, Ye Cangtian flashed in front of Wu Haodong.
"You little bug, if you release him now, I'll let you go!"
Hmph!
Wu Haodong let out a cold snort, his gaze becoming extremely icy, and he said, "Hidden Dragon, you even want to save the guards accompanying you from the Swift Wind Tower. You truly are loyal!"
"Since I've come out with him, I will take him back!"
Ye Cangtian looked at the opponent and continued, "You little bug, your time is running out. You'd better think carefully. Don't think you can escape with your life by hiding in the shadows!"
As his voice fell, on the city wall not far away, in a certain corner, Hun Jiu was immediately astonished.
Ye Cangtian's words were worth pondering.
If the opponent had seen through his moves and guessed he was nearby, that would be acceptable. He might not be found.
But if the opponent had already discovered him, then escaping from here would be difficult.
After a long silence, the Wu Haodong he controlled looked at Ye Cangtian and said coldly, "Hidden Dragon, these words are meaningless. If you don't hand over the item to my Swift Wind Tower today, I guarantee I will bury you here!"
"Truly stubborn! But do you think you can threaten me?"
"He is from Wan Mingxuan of the Swift Wind Tower. If you kill him, Wan Mingxuan will never let you go!"
Ye Cangtian said coldly upon hearing this. He naturally knew the opponent was referring to the Four Seals.
Hmph!
Wu Haodong snorted and said, "It's useless. Do you think I'm afraid of Wan Mingxuan?"
"Perhaps you are not afraid of Wan Mingxuan!"
Ye Cangtian looked at the opponent contemptuously and continued, "But do you want to see the army of the Swift Wind Tower march on your Feiyun Pavilion?"
What!
On the city wall, Hun Jiu's eyes widened. He didn't understand why the opponent could see through his identity at a glance.
After calming himself down, Hun Jiu quickly controlled Wu Haodong and said, "Are you out of your mind? Don't you even recognize me? I am Wu Haodong of the Swift Wind Tower!"
"Heh, you little bug, quibbling is useless!"
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and continued, "If anything happens to this guard, I guarantee that the Blazing Fire Academy and the Swift Wind Tower will join forces to destroy Feiyun Pavilion!"
"I..."
With those words, the guard in Wu Haodong's hand was stunned.
When had he ever received such treatment!
If, because of him, the Blazing Fire Academy and the Swift Wind Tower joined forces against Feiyun Pavilion, his life would be worth it...
Those words made Hun Jiu's expression turn ugly.
He knew that the opponent was certain he was from Feiyun Pavilion, so no matter how he argued, it would be futile.
If the Blazing Fire Academy and the Swift Wind Tower truly joined forces, then Feiyun Pavilion would be in danger.
Moreover, he knew Ye Cangtian's identity as the Hidden Dragon, which others did not. The Hidden Dragon was Ye Cangtian from the Hidden Group.
This meant that if a war broke out, the Hidden Group would not stand idly by, and Feiyun Pavilion's situation would likely become even more perilous.
With this thought, Hun Jiu's spiritual energy began to fluctuate. He absolutely did not want such a thing to happen.
It was under this fluctuation of spiritual energy that Wu Haodong's hand, which was holding the guard, began to tremble.
On the other side, sensing Wu Haodong's actions, Ye Cangtian sneered and said faintly, "You little bug, stay on the city wall. If you kill him, I guarantee you won't escape!"
Uh!
As the words fell, Hun Jiu's mind was completely in disarray.
The next moment, with a flick of his hand, he inexplicably threw the guard aside.
"Hidden Dragon, don't think you can't do anything to me just because I'm not threatening you anymore!" Wu Haodong said fiercely to Ye Cangtian.
Heh heh.
Ye Cangtian sneered disdainfully and then made a gesture of invitation, "Show me what you've got!"
Now that the opponent was no longer targeting the guards, everything else was of no concern to him.
"Form the array!"
On the other side, Wu Haodong did not waste any more words and roared.
As his voice fell, those who had been stunned quickly moved. In an instant, lines of spiritual energy connected them, forming a Tai Chi Bagua diagram.
"This is..."
Ye Cangtian's expression changed drastically. This formation was exactly the same as the diagram he had drawn at the Hidden Group in Jinling City that day.
Therefore, its purpose was obvious: to extract spiritual energy from the formation.
After all, the formation contained the thousand guards of the Swift Wind Tower!
Although these guards were here to deal with him, Ye Cangtian absolutely could not bear to see their spiritual energy being extracted.
"Ah? What's happening? Why did the sky suddenly go dark, and I can't see anything!"
"Huh, that's strange, why is it so quiet around here? Not even the sound of the wind..."
At this moment, the surrounding guards became restless, exhibiting symptoms of their five senses disappearing.
