"Hey, next time you see me disguised as someone else, if there's no danger, don't reveal yourself and intervene."
With everything returning to calm, Ye Cangtian looked at Qiangwei and said with some helplessness.
This time, it was fortunate that they had annihilated their opponents. Otherwise, if even one person had escaped, his Xuan Qi identity would surely have been exposed.
After all, he found the Xuan Qi identity very useful.
Not only could he obtain some inside information from the Dark Association, but it also held significant value for the future.
"Hmph! Good intentions are repaid with ill intent. We shouldn't have bothered with you!"
Qiangwei glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian, feeling somewhat wronged.
Besides, did the other party even consider that she wouldn't have acted so readily if she hadn't been completely confident?
"Yes, you really shouldn't have bothered with me."
Ye Cangtian glanced at Qiangwei and said something infuriating.
Qiangwei glared at Ye Cangtian, thoroughly angered. She let out a cold snort and turned away, no longer paying him any attention.
Meanwhile, Yao Bao'er, seeing the two in conflict, quickly took out some snacks to appease Qiangwei.
As for Ci Dao, he approached Ye Cangtian.
"Boss, a lot of interesting things happened on the way here. Do you want to hear about them?"
Seeing Ye Cangtian nod in affirmation, Ci Dao smiled and recounted everything he had seen and heard.
First, there was the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group. Previously, when the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group encountered members of the Tamo Mercenary Group, they would always steer clear of them, trying to avoid friction.
After all, they couldn't use modern weapons, and their combat effectiveness was the weakest. This was understandable.
However, for some unknown reason, at the edge of the miasma forest, the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group ambushed a squad from the Tamo Mercenary Group. Although the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group suffered heavy losses, the Tamo Mercenary Group squad was completely annihilated.
Now, the animosity between the two sides had deepened, and they were still locked in battle within the stone array.
"Uh... as expected."
Ye Cangtian was slightly taken aback. It was no surprise, as his impersonation of a divine envoy from the Bright Hall must have had an effect.
In addition to that.
From Ci Dao's account, Ye Cangtian also learned that the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group and the Caesar Mercenary Group had clashed.
However, the scale of the combat was very small, and both sides quickly withdrew from the fight, indicating that they did not wish to expend too much energy.
Then there was the Japanese Ninja Unit.
Those ninjas used various ninjutsu to ambush targets in the miasma forest. They attacked weaker forces whenever they had a chance of winning, practically becoming a nightmare for these weaker factions.
Just as Ci Dao was continuously recounting his journey,
Behind a large rock in the mist, a pair of eyes were watching everything.
This person was none other than Huang Wu, a subordinate of Xuan Qi.
After getting separated from Xuan Qi and Xuan Jiu in the stone array, he had wandered here in a daze and stumbled upon the conversation between Xuan Qi and the Grim Reaper Squad.
At this moment, he was filled with shock.
According to reliable information, wasn't the boss of the Grim Reaper Squad Ye Cangtian?
Why did they refer to Lord Xuan Qi as their boss?
Could it be that Lord Xuan Qi's true identity was Ye Cangtian, the very person the Dark Association had repeatedly tried to kill?
He had been monitoring Ye Cangtian for so long, how could he have not noticed?
Everything before him made Huang Wu almost disbelieve his own eyes.
But upon reflection, in his memory, Xuan Qi and Ye Cangtian had never appeared at the same time.
Damn it!
No wonder the assassination missions and tracking missions always failed!
So that was the reason!
As he thought this, a ruthless glint flashed in Huang Wu's eyes. If this information were to be reported back, he would surely earn great merit.
At that time, he would not only receive a generous reward but might even be promoted to a Xuan-level executor, replacing Xuan Qi.
"Swish!"
While Huang Wu was still lost in his daydream, a whistling sound suddenly broke through the air.
Without any hesitation, he darted out reflexively.
Perhaps he was too engrossed in his thoughts, but at some point, a stone figure had appeared behind him, and a massive stone hammer was falling with a roar.
Boom!
The stone hammer struck the ground with a deafening sound.
Huang Wu's face instantly turned pale. Such a commotion would surely alert Xuan Qi and the Grim Reaper Squad. His fate was predictable.
As expected, in the next moment, several figures flashed into view, led by Xuan Qi.
Or rather, Ye Cangtian!
Seeing this, Huang Wu's expression changed dramatically.
"Qiangwei, deal with the stone figure."
Ye Cangtian gave the order, then looked at the trembling Huang Wu with a playful smile:
"Huang Wu, how have you been?"
"Sir, I heard nothing, saw nothing. Please spare my life!"
"No, no, no, Huang Wu is willing to follow you, sir, and fight the Dark Association together!"
Huang Wu quickly spoke.
He knew he couldn't escape, so he stopped struggling pointlessly and immediately declared his allegiance.
"Heh heh, you're quite clever, but you've missed one crucial point."
Listening to Ye Cangtian's words, Huang Wu looked at him with confusion.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian spoke directly, "Since you know my identity, you should also know that I won't let you go. Don't forget the massacre at the Yangzhou Tang Corporation Security Department. That was your doing!"
This...
At these words, Huang Wu's face completely lost all color.
It was true that he had killed the people in the security department, and afterward, he had specifically gone to the inpatient department to kill Li Da Zhuang.
He remembered that when Xuan Shi, Lord Xuan Shi, had returned, he had mentioned that Ye Cangtian had also appeared at the scene.
Thinking back now, perhaps Ye Cangtian had already seen through his identity that day.
He just hadn't found a suitable opportunity to act.
"I'll fight you!"
Knowing there was no escape, Huang Wu still charged forward. This was his only way to survive.
*Puff!*
The next moment, he felt a blur before his eyes. Ye Cangtian dodged his attack and simultaneously plunged a dagger fiercely into his chest.
"Ye Cangtian, one day you will be exposed, and then you will surely die a more miserable death than I..."
Watching Huang Wu fall unwillingly, finally uttering a venomous curse, Ye Cangtian let out a soft snort.
Although the man was technically his subordinate, Ye Cangtian had never had any good feelings towards Huang Wu!
This guy was no good person, and many innocent people had died at his hands.
If not for the lack of opportunity, Ye Cangtian would have secretly killed this fellow long ago!
On the other side.
Qiangwei had also killed the stone figure and retrieved a crystal from it before tossing it to Ye Cangtian.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian casually tossed the crystal back.
The energy contained in these ordinary crystals was too little to be of much use to him. It was better to use them to enhance the strength of Qiangwei and the others.
"From now on, I cannot travel with you. Qiangwei will lead you."
"The stone figures here are not strong. Take the opportunity to kill more of them and use the crystals to improve your strength..."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Cangtian spoke slowly.
He still had things to stir up, and being accompanied by the Grim Reaper Squad would easily expose him.
Therefore, allowing the Grim Reaper Squad to stay and kill stone figures to gain more benefits was the best course of action.
After all, the stone figures here posed no real threat to them, and he didn't need to worry about them.
Although Qiangwei had some reservations about this, she suppressed them. She knew Ye Cangtian's decision was not wrong.
