"Huh? Where did they go?"
When Ye Cangtian arrived in this area, he suddenly found that there were no Dragon Group members around.
The stone figures here were still patrolling and had not entered a combat state.
"Brother-in-law, over here..."
Just then, a soft call came from a wooden building nearby.
Ye Cangtian then noticed a familiar figure appear at the window of the wooden building. It was Xu Shian.
Ye Cangtian immediately made a shushing gesture, signaling that someone was following Xu Shian. Xu Shian instantly understood Ye Cangtian's intention and nodded.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian passed through the alley in front of him.
Not long after, four figures followed into the alley. They cautiously observed their surroundings and slowly moved towards the end of the alley.
"Master Xuan Eleven, we've lost them."
Upon entering the alley, one of the mercenaries approached the leading Xuan Eleven and muttered softly.
As fellow Xuan-level stewards, why was Xuan Eleven tracking Xuan Seven?
Although they didn't understand, they still followed.
The reason was simple: they had been taken care of by Xuan Eleven along the way. Otherwise, they might have lost their lives. This was also to repay a debt of gratitude.
"He must be nearby, everyone be careful!"
"Also, you go back and report that Xuan Seven is the traitor!"
Xuan Eleven glanced at the mercenary beside him and then spoke.
Before entering the Sword Manor, he had also paid attention to the movements of various factions and which areas they had gone to.
This happened to be the area where the Dragon Group members had gone. So, without a doubt, Xuan Seven's presence here must be related to the Dragon Group.
"Ah? Yes!"
The mercenary was slightly stunned, but seeing Xuan Eleven's cold and fierce gaze, he immediately responded, turned, and left.
However, he stopped after only a few steps.
Several figures had already appeared at the mouth of the alley. They were wearing camouflage uniforms, and they were members of the Pandora Mercenary Group.
"Hurry up and go..."
Sensing that the mercenary had stopped, Xuan Eleven subconsciously turned his head and shouted coldly.
However, before he could finish, he saw the mercenary at the mouth of the alley, and his expression changed drastically.
Damn it, it's a trap!
It must be that scumbag Xuan Seven, who deliberately lured me here!
Thinking this, he didn't say another word and rushed towards the end of the alley in another direction.
But at this moment, several more figures blocked his path. They were indeed members of the Dragon Group!
"Hey! Don't even think about escaping. Do you know what a net is?"
Just then, a voice came.
Xuan Eleven looked up abruptly, only to see several more figures in the wooden buildings on both sides.
The members of the Death God Mercenary Group were also waiting here.
This...
For a moment, Xuan Eleven's face was almost bleeding.
This was a thoroughly laid out kill scheme!
It seemed he couldn't escape today!
The next moment, Xuan Eleven's gaze fell upon the Dragon Group's side, and he said fiercely, "Now that I am a trapped beast, stop hiding and let Xuan Seven come out to see me!"
Knowing that he was certain to die, Xuan Eleven wanted to know the identity of Xuan Seven, who had always been crushing him.
"What? You can't rest in peace?"
Just then, another figure slowly walked out from behind the Dragon Group members.
Ye Cangtian had removed Xuan Seven's disguise and returned to his original identity. He walked while smiling at Xuan Eleven.
"That's right, I want to know Xuan Seven's identity!"
Staring at Ye Cangtian, Xuan Eleven said fiercely. He wanted to see who he had lost to, otherwise, he would truly die with regrets.
"Of course. If you want to see Xuan Seven, then get rid of the three mercenaries beside you!"
Ye Cangtian said indifferently.
He was not worried about the matter leaking out.
In fact, no matter what, these three mercenaries were bound to the same fate as Xuan Eleven, and they had no chance of survival.
He was merely saving others some effort by doing this.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft..."
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, the three mercenaries immediately became nervous and looked at Xuan Eleven.
However, Xuan Eleven did not hesitate at all. His figure flickered rapidly, and he ruthlessly killed the three mercenaries.
Then, he looked at Ye Cangtian.
"Heh, when it comes to ruthlessness, I'm truly no match for you, Xuan Eleven."
Sensing Xuan Eleven's gaze, Ye Cangtian sneered mockingly and then took out Xuan Seven's mask from his懷.
"It's you?"
"How could it be you!"
"This is impossible!"
The moment he saw the mask, Xuan Eleven was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Ye Cangtian, and finally looked as if he had seen a ghost.
He wondered why Xuan Seven's mask was in Ye Cangtian's hand.
As he continued to look, he discovered that Ye Cangtian's figure was highly consistent with Xuan Seven's, as if they were carved from the same mold.
In an instant, Xuan Eleven understood everything, and because of this, he could not accept it.
Now he was certain that Xuan Seven was a traitor, but he never expected that Xuan Seven's true identity was Ye Cangtian!
"Heh, don't just stare at each other."
"If you have any last words, say them. Perhaps I'll be in a good mood and help you convey them to your family."
Looking at Xuan Eleven, who was frozen in place, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly. He couldn't stay here for long, and there were patrolling stone figures around. They needed to resolve the battle quickly.
"Last words are meaningless to me."
"I want to take you all down with me now!"
Xuan Eleven said fiercely, and at the same time, his body began to spin. Using the momentum, he used all his strength to throw the dagger in his hand.
His target was not anyone, but a corner on the roof of the wooden building in the alley.
Then, with a "crash," the corner of the roof was directly severed by the thrown dagger.
This also attracted the attention of the stone figures, and the rumbling sound of their footsteps immediately approached.
"Not good!"
On the other side, seeing Xuan Eleven's actions, Zhao Ziyang's face instantly darkened.
None of them were in good condition right now. If a large number of stone figures were attracted, it would be difficult for them to retreat safely.
But it was too late for him to intervene now.
"Everyone listen up, hide quickly, I'll handle the stone figures!"
Just then, Ye Cangtian's voice came. His face had turned extremely grim.
Before his voice even fell, he had already dashed in front of Xuan Eleven and, with a kick, sent Xuan Eleven flying.
*Bang!*
Xuan Eleven fell heavily in front of the Pandora Mercenary Group, spitting out blood frantically.
This blow was not light. Ye Cangtian had not held back at all, directly breaking several of his ribs and even injuring his internal organs. This also meant he had basically lost his combat ability.
After severely wounding Xuan Eleven, Ye Cangtian didn't say another word and directly leaped onto the wooden building, actively attracting the stone figures' attention and luring them all away.
On the other side.
The Dragon Group members, the Death God Squad, and the mercenaries from the Pandora Mercenary Group immediately returned to the wooden building.
This was not the time to be chivalrous. They believed Ye Cangtian would be safe.
Only Zhao Ziyang and Misha remained.
Xuan Eleven was the prime culprit in the death of Zhao Ziyang's wife. Now that he had fallen into Zhao Ziyang's hands, how could Zhao Ziyang let him go?
He was determined to kill him with his own hands.
The next moment, Zhao Ziyang slowly walked towards Xuan Eleven. Perhaps due to hatred and excitement, his hands holding the knife trembled slightly.
"Xuan Eleven, you've finally fallen into my hands. Rest assured, I won't let you die so easily!"
"This stab is for my wife!"
"This stab is for my child!"
"This stab is for you breaking up our happy family..."
Stab after stab, each one drawing blood and eliciting a shrill scream.
Not long after, Xuan Eleven had become a sieve. Zhao Ziyang's tears flowed down again, with only Misha quietly accompanying him.
