“Brat, I seem to have stirred up trouble this time. What should sister do next?”
Only after Bai Zhenshan closed the door and left did Dongfang Mingyue reveal her annoyed expression.
She had summoned Ye Cangtian, intending to create a confrontation between the two sides, and use this incident to warn the Bai family to behave.
However, she hadn't expected Bai Zhenshan to be so well-prepared, using Bai Sulan and the prison guards as scapegoats. Now that Bai Zhenshan had left, dealing with him in the future would be incredibly difficult.
Ye Cangtian glanced at her and then said, "Bai Zhenshan is cunning and shrewd. It's already good that he managed to do this..."
"Stop, sister doesn't need your comfort, sister needs your advice!"
Dongfang Mingyue interrupted Ye Cangtian. From the moment Long Lao had recognized Ye Cangtian, she had already considered him a confidant, even her successor.
She firmly believed that Long Lao's judgment would not be wrong.
Because of this, she had dropped all her pretenses in front of Ye Cangtian, and when she encountered problems, she no longer bore them alone but discussed them with him to seek solutions.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian pondered for a long time before speaking, "Sister Mingyue, do you think Bai Zhenshan will behave himself?"
"Behave himself my foot!"
Dongfang Mingyue said with annoyance.
Wasn't that a ridiculous question?
If Bai Zhenshan could behave himself, would this incident have even happened?
"Then let's wait for an opportunity,"
Ye Cangtian shrugged.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!*
Seeing Dongfang Mingyue roll her eyes, Ye Cangtian was about to explain when, at that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Dongfang Mingyue's assistant entered. She subconsciously glanced at Ye Cangtian.
Noticing this, Dongfang Mingyue quickly said, "He's one of us, speak freely."
Upon hearing this, the assistant then said, "We just received news that there have been bandits in Tingfeng City. The Yin Zu's guesthouse in Tingfeng City was raided, and all members were killed overnight."
"What!"
Dongfang Mingyue exclaimed upon hearing this, slamming the table. A violent killing intent instantly surged around her.
What kind of place was the Yin Zu guesthouse?
It not only represented the Yin Zu but was also the only place to issue missions within the ruins, and it also had the responsibility of defending Tingfeng City.
The destruction of such a place would greatly affect the lives of the people in Tingfeng City and might even cause panic.
"What news do we have about the bandits?" Dongfang Mingyue asked, suppressing her anger.
The assistant slowly shook her head. "The incident happened quite suddenly, and given the distance between Tingfeng City and Dragon City, follow-up information has not yet arrived."
"Notify them to dispatch personnel from all cities to rebuild the Tingfeng City branch as quickly as possible!"
"Also, issue a bounty for any information. I'll consider the rest."
Dongfang Mingyue's expression was extremely grim. Troubles never seemed to end. The Bai family's matter was not fully resolved, and now there were bandits.
She then waved her hand, signaling them to leave for now. She needed to calm down and wait for further news from Tingfeng City.
Seeing that Dongfang Mingyue was in a terrible mood, Ye Cangtian withdrew without a word. As for the Bai family's matter, he would find another opportunity, as there was no rush.
...
As soon as he returned to the guesthouse.
Ye Cangtian found a piece of paper under the door. The paper had an address and a signature at the bottom: Yuwen Chengji.
Seeing the name Yuwen Chengji, Ye Cangtian basically understood.
The other party must have heard about Shuangchi and could no longer sit still.
Well, the sooner it's resolved, the sooner he can be at peace!
Ye Cangtian finally made up his mind. He and Yuwen Chengji had to fight sooner or later.
Since the other party had come looking for him, he might as well settle their grievances to prevent any innocent people from getting involved.
A small courtyard on the outskirts of Dragon City.
Ye Cangtian slowly pushed open the gate and looked at the neat and tidy courtyard, feeling a bit suspicious as he hadn't detected any suspicious aura.
*Squeak!*
At that moment, a sound came from within, and then the door of the small house slowly opened. Yuwen Chengji walked out step by step.
"Are you ready?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Yuwen Chengji and got straight to the point.
"No."
Yuwen Chengji slowly shook his head and continued, "But I have to do this!"
Ye Cangtian frowned, "For Shuangchi? Is it worth it?"
"It is!"
Yuwen Chengji nodded and said, "Shuangchi was my only brother in the ruins. If it weren't for my matters, he would have no grievances with you..."
As he spoke, Yuwen Chengji drew his long sword and pointed it at Ye Cangtian.
"Alright, you have some loyalty."
Ye Cangtian glanced at Yuwen Chengji and continued, "Before Shuangchi died, he asked me to tell you that you were right, and he wants to be brothers with you again in the next life." m..oΓg
At these words, Yuwen Chengji's body trembled slightly.
After a moment of silence, he glanced at Ye Cangtian and said, "I understand. Let's begin then. This battle will settle all our grievances!"
"Good."
Ye Cangtian nodded and then drew his skull dagger.
Looking at the skull dagger, Yuwen Chengji frowned and said solemnly, "Take out your saber. You don't need to hide it anymore."
Ye Cangtian looked at Yuwen Chengji with surprise. He truly hadn't expected Yuwen Chengji to know about the Dragon Soul Saber.
After all, after obtaining the Dragon Soul Saber, he had only revealed it when clashing with Bai Zhenshan.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian didn't bother to investigate further. He glanced at him and said, "Are you sure? If I take out the Dragon Soul Saber, you will have no chance at all."
"I want to know how big the gap is between us, so please go all out!" Yuwen Chengji said.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded. A black light flashed in his hand, summoning the Dragon Soul Saber, and then he made a gesture of invitation to Yuwen Chengji.
*Roar!*
Yuwen Chengji let out a roar and charged towards Ye Cangtian.
The battle was about to break out.
However, it wasn't long before Yuwen Chengji's expression changed. Even though he had exerted all his strength, he was still at a disadvantage.
*Ding!*
Misfortune never comes singly. After a few fierce clashes, a crisp sound was heard.
Yuwen Chengji's long sword snapped, and the next moment, a dark giant saber was placed at his neck.
Feeling the coldness on his neck, Yuwen Chengji gave up resisting.
Whether in terms of strength or weaponry, he was far inferior to Ye Cangtian.
Having been defeated, he had nothing to say and no regrets.
After all, he had given his all.
"Do it."
Yuwen Chengji slowly closed his eyes, but he didn't feel any pain.
He subconsciously opened his eyes and saw that Ye Cangtian had already put away his great saber.
"Why didn't you kill me?"
Yuwen Chengji asked in surprise.
"Killing you is meaningless."
Ye Cangtian said indifferently. He had interacted with Yuwen Chengji for a relatively short time, but he had some understanding of him.
Yuwen Chengji was not inherently bad and was quite loyal. It was fine to spare such a person's life.
Moreover, wouldn't life be too boring without an opponent?
Leaving Yuwen Chengji alive could at least spur him to cultivate harder, which was not a bad thing.
Yuwen Chengji snorted, his expression clearly displeased, as if Ye Cangtian's words didn't take him seriously at all.
Then, he said coldly, "Aren't you afraid that I'll surpass you in the future? If you fall into my hands then, I won't show any mercy!"
"Don't worry, our grievances are settled!"
"However, I've gotten used to you. If you have the ability, then come at me!"
Ye Cangtian laughed heartily and then said seriously, "But you must remember, you can seek revenge on me, but do not involve any innocent people! That is my bottom line!"
With that, Ye Cangtian stopped paying attention and left the courtyard.
Yuwen Chengji looked at Ye Cangtian's retreating figure with a complex expression and fell silent.
He actually had the illusion of a complete defeat.
Whether it was in terms of strength, luck, character, or magnanimity, he was far behind.
In any case, concerning today's events, if their identities were reversed, he would absolutely not have let the other party go.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but mutter.
Ye Cangtian, the feud can be forgotten, but in the future, I will definitely surpass you...
