As Ye Cangtian’s voice fell, everyone immediately responded and quickly lined up to register.
They didn’t want to stay here for another moment.
So many factions had joined forces, only to nearly be wiped out, and now they had to crouch down like prisoners. It was simply too humiliating.
Seeing all the factions cooperating obediently, Ye Cangtian paid them no further attention.
He turned to look at Dongfang Mingyue and said, "Sister Mingyue, the matter here is basically settled. Let’s go back first. I have something to tell you!"
"Okay."
Dongfang Mingyue nodded, didn’t say much, but as she passed by Bai Zhenshan, she quietly gave him a few instructions before following Ye Cangtian back to the Hidden Organization.
…
Hidden Organization, Qingfeng Hall.
Dongfang Mingyue and Ye Cangtian sat down, chatting while drinking tea.
"Little brother, sister truly envies you!"
"The matter that has been giving sister a headache for so long, you solved it as soon as you returned. You’ve really helped me a lot, and made me feel ashamed!"
"Uh…"
Looking at Dongfang Mingyue’s somewhat complex expression, Ye Cangtian’s mouth twitched.
He quickly said, "Sister Mingyue, please stop teasing me. You were thinking about how to resolve everything perfectly, while I just solved the immediate problem. The future consequences might be endless!"
"Heh, don’t be so modest."
Dongfang Mingyue gave him a sideways glance and continued, "However, what you said is not entirely unreasonable. The Heavenly Gate has too much attraction for all factions. I’m afraid these factions won’t give up easily!"
Ye Cangtian also understood this point, and his expression became somewhat gloomy. "They’ve already been given one chance. If they refuse to behave, I don’t mind absorbing them!"
"As for these minor factions, sister doesn’t really care about them."
"Sister is more concerned about the more powerful factions…"
Dongfang Mingyue looked deeply at Ye Cangtian and said with concern.
Those powerful factions had not yet appeared. This was very abnormal.
Because they couldn’t possibly be uninterested in the Four Seals.
Therefore, in her opinion, these major factions might be plotting something in the dark! And once they appeared, they could very well become a new disaster for the Hidden Organization!
"No one can predict the future!"
"Sister Mingyue, don’t worry too much. We’ll face whatever comes our way. We just need to be prepared."
Seeing Dongfang Mingyue looking worried, Ye Cangtian quickly tried to comfort her.
Under Ye Cangtian’s persuasion, Dongfang Mingyue’s mood improved considerably.
Then she said, "Little brother, let’s not talk about this anymore. How did your mission go? Did you destroy the headquarters of the Five Poisons Sect?"
"No."
Mentioning this, Ye Cangtian shook his head helplessly and said, "When we got there, we found out that all the information we had received before was false. The Five Poisons Sect headquarters was not outside Tianhan Pass. However…"
Ye Cangtian briefly recounted the matter of disrupting the Five Poisons Sect’s operation and seizing the Three-Eyed Ice Toad.
"Heh, what a coincidence!"
"Although we couldn’t destroy the Five Poisons Sect headquarters, disrupting their operation is still good."
Listening to Ye Cangtian’s account, Dongfang Mingyue smiled and continued, "By the way, you went to Frost City afterwards. Did you return to the Imperial Dragon Villa? How is the Imperial Dragon Villa now?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Dongfang Mingyue saw Ye Cangtian’s expression turn grim, and even the aura around him became turbulent.
This was clearly a sign of suppressed anger!
The next moment, she quickly asked, "What’s wrong? Did something happen to the Imperial Dragon Villa?"
"It’s a long story! Sister Mingyue, please listen to me tell you slowly."
Hearing her question again, Ye Cangtian gritted his teeth and finally slowly recounted everything.
He did not hide anything, such as Hu Qing and others being placed under house arrest, and Hidden Organization soldiers being turned into poisoned men and zombies.
After all, Dongfang Mingyue was the administrator of the Hidden Organization, and she had the right to know these truths.
Bang!
Dongfang Mingyue slammed her palm onto the table, shattering it, her chest heaving with anger, her small hands clenched into fists, making a clanging sound.
Up until now, Dragon City had not received any news from Frost City.
Therefore, she had always assumed that everything was normal in Frost City.
But she never expected Lei Ming to commit such heinous acts against the Hidden Organization’s branch!
"Where is Lei Ming? I’m going to flay him alive!"
Finally, Dongfang Mingyue roared. She didn’t care who Lei Ming’s disciple was. Lei Ming had done such things now, and he had to pay the price.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian quickly said, "Sister Mingyue, please calm down. Lei Ming has confessed and been apprehended!"
With these words, Dongfang Mingyue calmed down a bit.
Upon reflection, Ye Cangtian was someone who would not tolerate such behavior. Since he had encountered this situation, he would naturally handle it.
Thinking this, Dongfang Mingyue blamed herself and said, "It’s all my fault! It’s because my management was not in place that this happened. I truly have no face to continue managing the Hidden Organization…"
As she spoke, Dongfang Mingyue looked at Ye Cangtian, her meaning very clear: she wanted Ye Cangtian to take over her position.
"Sister Mingyue, this situation is not your fault!"
"On the contrary, I have an inescapable responsibility. If I could have returned to the Imperial Dragon Villa earlier, this would not have happened."
"So please don’t blame yourself, and don’t think of handing over the Hidden Organization to me. Don’t forget, we agreed that you would handle internal affairs and I would handle external affairs…"
Ye Cangtian immediately understood Dongfang Mingyue’s intention, and a cold sweat broke out. He quickly stepped forward to persuade her.
To be joking, he still had to get rid of the identity of the young master of the Imperial Dragon Villa!
If he were to take over the Hidden Organization now, when would he be able to retire and when would he be able to travel with Tang Xinwan…
Therefore, when encountering such a sensitive issue, Ye Cangtian was determined to nip it in the bud.
On the other side, Dongfang Mingyue gave him a helpless look and then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, with this incident, has the Imperial Dragon Villa and the Hidden Organization completely broken ties?"
"No."
Ye Cangtian shook his head and said, "There are certainly some rifts in the relationship, but I’ve tried my best to help both sides repair their relationship."
"You?"
"Although you are Old Zhou’s disciple, will they listen to you?"
Dongfang Mingyue immediately questioned Ye Cangtian’s words.
Even if Ye Cangtian had killed Lei Ming by force and intimidated the entire Imperial Dragon Villa, the difficulty of having the Imperial Dragon Villa repair its relationship with the Hidden Organization was not small.
After all, with what had happened, the trust and goodwill between the two sides would instantly be reset to zero.
They might even develop strong animosity, which could not be easily resolved…
"Sigh! My fate is bitter. Not only am I Old Man’s disciple, but I am also his direct disciple!"
"So, being untalented, I can only reluctantly take over the Imperial Dragon Villa and become their young master!"
"Besides that, I saved Hu Qing and many guards from the Hidden Organization, so they are somewhat willing to give me face. Therefore, the two sides…"
Looking at Dongfang Mingyue’s questioning gaze, Ye Cangtian sighed helplessly and vaguely explained the subsequent events.
This was too shameless, taking advantage of the situation and then acting as if he was wronged!
He had already become the young master, but now he was acting wronged. It really made one want to slap him to death!
Hearing Ye Cangtian’s tone, Dongfang Mingyue’s body trembled, and her face was filled with contempt.
However, after a moment, her expression changed and she began to get excited.
If she managed the Hidden Organization and Ye Cangtian managed the Imperial Dragon Villa, then the Hidden Organization and the Imperial Dragon Villa would not only reconcile but also become even closer than before.
This would be a great thing for the forces in Huaxia!
Thinking of this, she patted Ye Cangtian heavily on the shoulder and said, "You rascal, let’s work together, our brother and sister, to bring the forces of Huaxia back to their peak!"
"That’s a must!"
Ye Cangtian smiled and nodded, then his expression became serious. "Sister Mingyue, there is another important matter that I need to discuss with you!"
"Hmm? What is it?"
Seeing Ye Cangtian’s serious expression, Dongfang Mingyue’s smile also subsided as she asked.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian did not stand on ceremony and directly said, "I have already located the headquarters of the Five Poisons Sect and its five sub-branches, so…"
