Ye Cangtian wore a satisfied smile and said, "As I said before, follow me, and I won't mistreat you. Now tell me about the Bloodthirsty Beasts."
After all, this was one of the three trump cards that the recluse from Black Wind Sect had given to the sect leader. Ye Cangtian had to understand it in detail.
Upon mentioning the Bloodthirsty Beasts, Cui Yi's face turned a little pale, and he said in a low voice, "The Bloodthirsty Beasts are very powerful. They have almost no minds; all they know is slaughter! Moreover, they can be empowered by the Blood Mist Array, becoming even stronger..."
Ye Cangtian's expression changed. He could feel the violent power of the Bloodthirsty Beasts. If they were further strengthened by the Blood Mist Array, their combat power would be even more terrifying.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian asked, "Do you know where these Bloodthirsty Beasts come from?"
"I don't know the specifics. All Bloodthirsty Beasts are issued by the Black Wind Sect headquarters..."
Cui Yi shook his head, then as if recalling something, he quickly said, "Right, there's something you might be interested in..."
When receiving the Bloodthirsty Beasts this time, Cui Yi had found a familiar face among them.
One of the Bloodthirsty Beasts resembled a traitor from the Black Wind Sect he had seen before!
Of course, it was only that its face was somewhat ferocious, and he wasn't entirely sure.
Moreover, the creation of Bloodthirsty Beasts had always been a secret of the Black Wind Sect, so he hadn't dared to inquire further, lest he bring trouble upon himself.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian's brows furrowed. Could it be that these Bloodthirsty Beasts were created through some cruel method, forcibly transforming living people into this state?
That method was too evil!
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian quickly asked, "What was that person's strength before, and what is their strength now after becoming a Bloodthirsty Beast?"
"He was at the Yellow rank before. His current strength is unclear, but most Bloodthirsty Beasts are at the Profound rank!" Cui Yi replied quickly.
What a powerful evil art!
Ye Cangtian marveled inwardly. However, he felt very fortunate now. Fortunately, he had discovered the Bloodthirsty Beasts relatively early, and perhaps the Black Wind Sect had not yet reached a certain scale.
Otherwise, who knew how many people would have suffered under this art, and the Huaxia ruins might truly have been thrown into turmoil!
Soon, Ye Cangtian inquired about the location of the Bloodthirsty Beasts again.
To destroy the entire stronghold, these Bloodthirsty Beasts had to be eliminated.
Otherwise, once these Bloodthirsty Beasts were empowered by the Blood Mist Array, they would definitely be a formidable force. Combined with Butcher and the squad leaders, he might not be their match.
However, the good news from Cui Yi was that due to their extreme ferocity, the Bloodthirsty Beasts had been allocated a small, separate area.
Ye Cangtian's eyes lit up. This made it more convenient for him to act.
...
"Roar, roar, roar..."
Low growls were heard. Ye Cangtian had arrived at the Bloodthirsty Beast camp.
"Who are you!"
As soon as he reached the entrance of the camp, a guard stepped forward.
"Death God, a squad leader under Hall Master Cui." Ye Cangtian introduced himself.
"Oh, so it's Lord Death God. May I ask what brings you here?"
The guard slowly nodded. He was aware of a new squad leader under Hall Master Cui.
However, his gaze towards Ye Cangtian showed no respect; instead, it carried a hint of disdain.
The reason was simple: those under Hall Master Cui did not cultivate the Blood Mist Array and had low combat power.
They were considered experts in the past, but now, to put it nicely, they only held higher seniority and positions.
To put it bluntly, they were occupying a position without contributing anything.
This was also why Hall Master Cui and his subordinates had been out of favor recently.
"I heard that Bloodthirsty Beasts are very powerful, and I wanted to come and see them. That's all!" Ye Cangtian glanced at the other person and said indifferently.
"Of course!"
The guard continued, "But I think it's better not to. The Bloodthirsty Beasts are ferocious, and it wouldn't be good if you were injured."
As he spoke, a mischievous smile appeared on the guard's face.
"With you here, I shouldn't be in any danger, right?"
On the surface, Ye Cangtian ignored the other's attitude, but in his heart, he sneered. Minions were simply ignorant and fearless, provoking him even when facing death...
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, the guard smiled slightly, "Alright then. Lord Death God, please stay close to me to avoid any accidents."
Saying that, the guard opened the gate to the Bloodthirsty Beast camp and led Ye Cangtian inside.
As they entered the camp, the guard began to explain.
A total of 12 Bloodthirsty Beasts had been allocated to them by headquarters. Two of them were responsible for guarding the entrance to the secret realm, and the remaining 10 were all here...
As Ye Cangtian listened, his gaze swept across the surrounding Bloodthirsty Beasts.
He saw that the Bloodthirsty Beasts had blood-red eyes and were crouched on the ground, exuding a strong bloody aura and roaring fiercely.
They looked as if they wanted to tear Ye Cangtian to pieces.
"Are you the only one guarding here?" Ye Cangtian suddenly asked.
The guard nodded upon hearing this.
The Bloodthirsty Beasts were too ferocious, and since the secret realm was filled with companions from the Black Wind Sect, they weren't worried about anyone trying to harm the Bloodthirsty Beasts.
With two people on rotation to guard, it was more than enough.
"Then it's easy to handle." Ye Cangtian said with a smile.
"Hmm?"
The guard looked at Ye Cangtian in confusion, inexplicably uttering such a sentence. He truly couldn't react.
However, before he could speak, a large hand grabbed his neck.
At this moment, the guard fully understood. This person was going to sneak attack the camp!
He struggled and shouted desperately, but the hand on his neck was like a clamp, making him unable to break free or even utter a sound.
*Crack!*
Ye Cangtian acted decisively, directly snapping the guard's neck and tossing him aside.
The next instant, figures flashed by like lightning.
The surrounding Bloodthirsty Beasts immediately rushed to the guard's side and began to tear him apart ferociously.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian's eyes widened.
Damn it, no wonder they were called beasts. They wore human skin but had no reason, even eating humans.
Even their guard became their food after turning into a corpse.
However, it seemed their intelligence wasn't very high...
While feeling disgusted, Ye Cangtian moved instantly, stepping forward and snapping the necks of two Bloodthirsty Beasts.
The remaining Bloodthirsty Beasts, seeing Ye Cangtian's action, immediately stopped feeding and began to attack Ye Cangtian furiously.
But it was all in vain. Although they were ferocious, without the enhancement of the Blood Mist Array, their strength was only at the Profound rank.
Ye Cangtian didn't pay any attention to this level of strength.
In just a few minutes, Ye Cangtian had dealt with these Bloodthirsty Beasts and then quietly returned to his room.
...
Inside the manor, in a room.
Here, Butcher's subordinates were gathered, secretly discussing something.
"Damn it, Tu Liu's death must have been caused by Cui Yi and his gang!"
"Brothers, Tu Liu was our brother! We can't just let him die like this!"
"We should teach Cui Yi and his men a lesson!"
Tu Wu said fiercely. He had worked with Tu Liu for many years, and their relationship was like that of sworn brothers. Now that Tu Liu had been killed, he was the one who couldn't stand it the most.
He was determined to avenge Tu Liu!
"You're right, but how should we act?"
"Moreover, Cui Yi has five or six squad leaders under him. Who should we target?"
Tu Jiu nodded and quickly asked.
"Damn it, Cui Si and Cui Wu are the most talkative. Let's make them our targets, or just get rid of Cui Yi!"
Tu Wu gritted his teeth. He looked down on all the squad leaders under Cui Fengxi, and it didn't matter who they dealt with.
In his opinion, these people refused to cultivate the Blood Mist Array, which meant they had deviated from the Black Wind Sect and were destined to be eliminated.
If it weren't for the old Hall Master Cui Fengxi, they would have acted long ago, and those who were obedient would have taken their place.
Now, they might as well take this opportunity to eliminate a few more.
With a single statement, the surrounding squad leaders fell into thought. The conflict between the two sides was indeed intensifying, but if things got too big, could Butcher suppress it?
Everything else was manageable, but the key was that Cui Fengxi was a Hall Master with a very high status in the Black Wind Sect. If he were to report Butcher, Butcher wouldn't be able to handle it either!
*Ding!* *Ding!* *Ding!*
Just as everyone was hesitating, a knock sounded at the door.
In a flash, a subordinate walked in and informed everyone to gather at Butcher's place.
Everyone exchanged glances, not understanding the situation, but since it was Butcher's order, they had no choice but to get up and go.
...
