"Dada da..."
Urgent footsteps, accompanied by panting, echoed in the passage.
This divine envoy of the Bright Hall was extremely exhausted. He didn't know how long he had been fleeing, but he must have escaped far by now, right?
Truly terrifying! m..oΓg
Cardinal Reagan of the Bright Hall was dead!
Out of the four of them, only he had managed to escape alive!
Now that he had finally stopped to rest, he squatted on the ground, gasping for breath, while also keeping an eye on his surroundings, worried about being pursued.
Soon, he shook his head, thinking he was overthinking.
In this maze-like passage, even if he didn't know where he had escaped to, it would be a ghost if the other party could find him.
"No, I need to find the others as soon as possible!"
Otherwise, it was too dangerous.
The Bright Hall had over a dozen divine envoys, four cardinals, and Archbishop Hassar, a formidable force.
But now, in this maze-like passage, they had all been separated.
Otherwise, Lord Reagan wouldn't have died, and he wouldn't have been fleeing frantically!
Just as he stopped and leaned against the wall to drink some water, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from ahead, as if someone was approaching.
The divine envoy was so startled that the water bottle in his hand dropped to the ground.
However, just as he was about to flee, he suddenly heard someone speaking. He instantly became excited and tentatively asked, "Colby, is that you?"
"Mark?" a surprised voice came from the distance.
"It's me, it's me!"
The disheveled Mark hurriedly walked a section of the passage ahead and soon saw two familiar figures around a corner.
They were two other divine envoys from the Bright Hall!
Seeing Mark running towards them in a panic, both of them were a little surprised and quickly asked, "Mark, what happened?"
"Lord Reagan is dead!"
"What? How could Lord Reagan..."
The two divine envoys were shocked. Although Lord Reagan's strength was not top-tier among the cardinals, he was not weak either. How could he have died so suddenly?
Could it be that he encountered Green Saber from the Dark Association? Or the blue-clothed man Jian Wusheng from China's Dragon Group?
The divine envoy named Mark shook his head and was about to explain the whole story, but suddenly heard the sound of a lighter being ignited behind him.
The three of them simultaneously looked in the direction of the sound.
On the other side of the passage, a man was leaning against the passage wall, lighting a cigarette, and smiling at Mark, his lips slightly upturned.
"Congratulations, congratulations on finding two more companions!"
The other two divine envoys looked strange, but the divine envoy named Mark's face instantly changed, and he hurriedly ran towards the other side.
"Run!"
The other two were stunned. Although they didn't know what had happened, they didn't hesitate and immediately fled together towards the other side.
However, the three of them soon stopped.
Because around the corner on the other side of the passage, Gu Yue, dressed in black, walked out holding a saber.
A brief silence, which lasted only two breaths.
The battle erupted again!
A few minutes later.
Three divine envoys lay dead in the passage. Ye Cangtian was searching the bodies one by one for crystals, while Gu Yue's old injuries had relapsed, and she was squatting nearby, her face a little pale.
After a long while, Ye Cangtian finally finished collecting the crystals from these individuals and noticed Gu Yue's pale face.
He walked up to her helplessly and took out a small medicine bottle from his person, handing it over.
"Take it, it can temporarily relieve your injuries!"
This was something Ye Cangtian had obtained from Yao Bao'er earlier, also as a precaution. This pill had the effect of promoting blood circulation, dispelling blood stasis, and repairing internal injuries.
Even Yao Bao'er kept it as a treasure, and although Gu Yue couldn't recover immediately after taking this pill, it could temporarily alleviate her injuries.
Seeing Gu Yue take the medicine bottle, Ye Cangtian shook his head helplessly, "I told you not to push yourself. You were so seriously injured, why are you still fighting so hard?"
Gu Yue swallowed the pill and felt a comfortable nourishment throughout her internal organs. She then replied indifferently, "The person escaped from my hands, so I cannot let him escape again!"
Ye Cangtian was speechless and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"It doesn't matter even if he escapes again. At worst, my identity will be exposed, and it's fine if I don't have to use the identity of an undercover agent for the Dark Association anymore."
"But you only have one life. You can't do this again in the future!"
Was he genuinely concerned about me? Gu Yue thought inexplicably, then a blush appeared on her face, and she lowered her head and softly replied with an 'Mm'.
Ye Cangtian didn't notice her expression.
He placed the collected crystals on the ground and also took out the crystals he had previously collected from Cardinal Reagan and the other two divine envoys.
A total of twenty-eight crystals.
Cardinal Reagan alone had thirteen crystals, while the other five divine envoys combined only had fifteen!
So poor, fewer crystals than what was obtained from the Dragon Group.
However, Ye Cangtian only felt contempt in his heart. Twenty-eight crystals in total were not a small amount.
He divided some of them and slid them over to Gu Yue.
"Take them. These can improve your strength. I'll teach you how to use them when we get out!"
"I... I can't use so many!" Gu Yue shook her head.
Although she didn't know how to use these crystals or how they improved strength, she knew very well since coming to the ruins that many factions, including the Bright Hall and the Dark Association, seemed to highly value these crystals.
So, without saying it, she knew these crystals were very precious.
"Even if you can't use them all, you should still take them. Don't forget you have a sister. Your current strength is not enough, so it's best to improve it as much as possible."
Ye Cangtian smoked, putting away the remaining crystals.
He had gained a lot in the past two days. His backpack was filled with many crystals, including a heavy purple crystal.
This trip to the ruins had been very rewarding for him.
Gu Yue no longer refused and collected the crystals slid next to her. She then asked, "What do we do now?"
"Of course, we continue killing people!"
Ye Cangtian exhaled a smoke ring, a smile playing on his lips.
However, he should change his identity when killing people!
Dark Association, Xuan Qi!
This way, even if someone escaped while he was killing, he wouldn't have to worry about anything.
Even if the Bright Hall wanted trouble, they would first look for the Dark Association and trouble Green Saber!
If he encountered someone from the Dark Association, he could also use his identity as Ye Cangtian from China's Dragon Group to kill them.
Dual identities, switching back and forth for fun!
...
A moment later!
Ye Cangtian put on a silver mask, and Gu Yue also put on her bronze mask. The two moved silently, like ghosts, through the passage.
As soon as any sound or movement was heard in a certain direction, they would immediately move towards the source of the sound.
And before long, fighting erupted somewhere again.
