Ye Cangtian also explored the passage slowly, as he found the entire passage to be like a maze.
So he made some marks along the way to avoid retracing his steps.
Of course, he believed that almost everyone was trapped in this maze-like passage, as he could occasionally hear some sounds.
Even though the sounds heard seemed close, they might actually be very far away.
With so many people entering this place, he hadn't encountered anyone, which could only mean two things.
Either the entire passage maze was so vast that it was difficult for dozens of people to meet even after being trapped within it!
Or this place was very strange, perhaps its purpose was to separate everyone.
Of course, for whatever reason, Ye Cangtian hoped to find a way to leave here as soon as possible, as he didn't know the exact situation of others.
Fortunately, he suddenly heard footsteps, hurried, and more than one pair of footsteps.
Then he heard a familiar voice.
"Beauty, I think you should stop running. You're injured, and you won't escape from my grasp this time!"
Hmm? Ye Cangtian recognized the owner of this voice.
This seemed to be the expert from the Hall of Light who had previously hunted Gu Yue, rumored to be a purple-robed bishop of the Hall of Light.
From the sound of it, it seemed he had encountered Gu Yue again?
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian's brows furrowed. Although the footsteps and voices sounded close, he knew that these passages were like a labyrinth, and they might not encounter each other.
No, there must be a way!
Ye Cangtian raised his eyebrows slightly. He could use the direction of the sound to get closer to them!
Although it was difficult to distinguish directions in the maze-like passages, if one listened carefully, there would always be some differences.
Soon, he identified the direction of the incoming sound and moved directly towards it.
After a while longer.
The voices were getting closer, and surprisingly, the other party seemed to be unintentionally heading in his direction.
Finally, Ye Cangtian looked up, and he saw them.
In the passage ahead, Gu Yue was rushing rapidly, and behind her were the purple-robed bishop Regan and three divine envoys from the Hall of Light!
Gu Yue also saw Ye Cangtian, and a look of surprise finally appeared on her pale face.
She stopped and came behind Ye Cangtian, panting heavily.
"Fortunately... you are here!"
After all, being chased by someone so much stronger than her for so long, and being injured, it was already incredibly difficult to hold on until now.
"Leave it to me! You rest!" Ye Cangtian didn't ask any more questions, just smiled faintly, and then looked at the four people chasing them.
Bishop Regan also stopped at this moment and waved his hand, and the three divine envoys behind him also stopped, panting.
Seeing Gu Yue ahead, Bishop Regan was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Friend from the Dragon Group, could you please step aside? This person is someone our Hall of Light needs to deal with!"
Since Ye Cangtian was not wearing a mask at the moment, this purple-robed bishop did not recognize him.
Ye Cangtian smiled and said faintly, "I'm sorry, I'm protecting this person. You should retreat yourselves!"
Bishop Regan was taken aback and quickly explained, "Friend, this woman is from the Dark Association. Don't they have enmity with your Dragon Group?"
He had been present during the previous battle between the Dragon Group and the Dark Association.
The Dragon Group and the Dark Association were sworn enemies, with irreconcilable hatred. Yet this person was protecting someone from a rival force? Was he out of his mind?
Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "That's none of your business. Even if there is enmity, it has nothing to do with your Hall of Light."
"Friend! Are you really not going to hand her over to me?"
Bishop Regan frowned. To be honest, he didn't want to fall out with someone from the Dragon Group, especially since that man in green had even made their Great Archbishop extremely wary.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he was reluctant to provoke anyone from the Dragon Group.
However, he coveted this woman for a long time, and he was somewhat unwilling to give up now.
"Either get lost, or try and see if you can take her from my hands!" Ye Cangtian pouted.
If it weren't for the three divine envoys beside the other party, he would have killed this guy right now. He had heard that this purple-robed bishop named Regan often harmed innocent young girls.
People like that deserved to die!
"You!"
Bishop Regan showed a look of anger, but he suppressed it.
He knew that the other party was not weak and was worried that he might not be an opponent. Therefore, despite being very annoyed, he did not dare to act.
Thinking of this, he snorted and turned to say, "Let's go!"
Just as he was about to leave with the three divine envoys, Bishop Regan seemed to suddenly remember something, and his brows furrowed slightly.
This scene seemed somewhat familiar?
He stopped and looked back at Ye Cangtian, murmuring to himself, "Why does this guy feel so familiar..."
Suddenly, he thought of something. He looked at Ye Cangtian, then at Gu Yue, and his lips trembled slightly.
"It's... it's you!"
It was the same scene before, where a Xuan-level deacon from the Dark Association had saved Gu Yue from him.
And now, looking at Ye Cangtian, the more he looked, the more familiar he became. This person seemed very similar to that Xuan-level deacon.
One wore a mask, the other did not. But if one paid attention to the details, they would realize that it was the same person!
Bishop Regan's eyes widened, as if he had discovered an earth-shattering secret, and he exclaimed, "You... you are that Xuan-level deacon from the Dark Association, no, you are an undercover agent..."
On the opposite side, Ye Cangtian sighed helplessly.
He turned to Gu Yue and couldn't help but give a bitter smile: See! For you, I seem to be exposed.
Gu Yue was also helpless, but didn't know what to say.
After sighing, Ye Cangtian said faintly, "How much strength do you have now? Can you hold off two divine envoys at the same time?"
"I'll try my best!" Gu Yue said calmly.
Although she was injured, her combat power was greatly reduced, and it was difficult for her to deal with even one divine envoy. Holding off two at the same time was extremely dangerous!
But she still accepted it.
Because she knew what Ye Cangtian was planning to do, and this was exactly the outcome she wanted.
"That's good, you have to hold on for a while at all costs!" Ye Cangtian grinned and then looked at Bishop Regan opposite him.
He had planned to let you go for now, but he didn't expect you to seek death yourself!
If the other party hadn't discovered his identity, Ye Cangtian wouldn't have dared to risk killing this guy, as he wasn't entirely confident in killing all four of them simultaneously.
Especially with the complexity of the passages, it was difficult to catch up once they escaped his sight.
"You want to kill me to silence me? See if you have the ability!" Bishop Regan also reacted, feeling a little apprehensive, but he forced himself to remain calm.
He turned to the three divine envoys and said, "Attack together!"
The three divine envoys did not hesitate and immediately charged towards Ye Cangtian.
As Regan prepared to attack, his body suddenly retreated backward, clearly intending to let the three divine envoys block for him and give himself a chance to escape.
Ye Cangtian punched a divine envoy, sending him flying and spitting blood, only to see Regan turn and flee down another passage, which momentarily stunned him.
"So afraid of death?"
He couldn't help but frown, he couldn't let this guy escape, he turned to Gu Yue and said, "Leave the others to you, I'm going to chase!"
One of the three divine envoys was severely injured by him, leaving two. Gu Yue should be able to hold them off for a moment, right?
