At the same time, a thousand miles away, outside the outer hall of the Guangming Hall.
Hassar arrived in a hurry with a guard.
Because there had been no specific information about the entrance to the Huaxia ruins recently, the Pope was in a very bad mood. Therefore, Hassar tried his best to avoid the Pope today.
So as not to become the target of the Pope's venting.
But today was different. As soon as he received the news from Huaxia, he immediately led people to the main hall.
"Greetings, Your Holiness!"
Upon entering the hall, after the two bowed respectfully to the Pope, Hassar stepped forward and said, "Your Holiness, we have just received news from Huaxia..."
"Speak!"
Hassar wanted to take credit, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by the Pope.
Having no choice, he could only wink at the guard beside him and report everything.
"Your Holiness, the entrance to the Huaxia ruins has been sealed by the Yin Zu. According to our informants in Huaxia, it is basically impossible to check the condition of the entrance formation!"
As he spoke, cold sweat broke out on the guard's forehead. He could already feel the dense killing intent emanating from the Pope.
So he quickly continued, "However, judging by this situation, the entrance formation of the ruins, even if it wasn't destroyed, has suffered some degree of severe damage!"
Hmm, that makes some sense.
The Pope listened to this and his eyes flickered. He slowly nodded, and his icy expression eased slightly.
Although the cost of this operation was high, it was not without effect, and there were still some achievements.
However, to what extent was the entrance formation damaged?
If this could not be clarified, how could arrangements be made?
After all, that was Huaxia's territory, and any mistake could lead to immeasurable losses!
Thinking this, he glanced at Hassar and said, "Hassar, choose a few people and go to Huaxia again. No matter what, you must find out the specific situation of the ruin entrance!"
"Yes."
Hassar replied respectfully, but did not turn to leave. Instead, he said, "Your Holiness, I have some more news."
"Speak!"
The Pope said grimly.
Hearing this, Hassar did not hesitate and quickly said, "It is said that Ye Cangtian, along with Gui Wu and the traitor Nancy, has left Huaxia. Their specific whereabouts are unknown."
"Investigate what has not been clarified. I want accurate and complete intelligence, not for you to guess here!"
The Pope said grimly.
As the Pope, he was busy with state affairs and had no time to ponder someone's itinerary or their purpose!
To take a step back, if such matters were left to him, what would be the use of the Guangming Hall's intelligence department!
"Your subordinate admits his mistake, and will investigate and verify it as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Hassar immediately responded, then continued, "Besides the news about Ye Cangtian, there is also some news from Tingfeng Lou!"
Hassar reported all the news from Tingfeng Lou.
In the past few days, people from the Dark Association were found active on the Sun and Moon Twin Islands.
These people were not very strong, but they were very cunning, good at hiding, and were being pursued.
Besides the people from the Dark Association, some experts had also landed on the Sun and Moon Twin Islands, likely to probe the situation since Tingfeng Lou had emerged...
Hearing this news, the Pope frowned slightly.
He did not take those miscellaneous powerhouses from various factions seriously.
The key was the people from the Dark Association. Now that Tingfeng Lou stood with the Guangming Hall, it was no longer a secret, and the Dark Association naturally felt unhappy.
Sending people there now was probably not a good thing.
Thinking this, the Pope said, "Hassar, choose a shrewd person to go to Tingfeng Lou and take charge. Don't cause any trouble."
Since he knew about this, the Pope could not stand idly by.
With Tingfeng Lou's current strength, they did not need military support. All they needed was a clear-headed person to supervise, to prevent Tingfeng Lou from believing in slander and being provoked...
"Yes, your subordinate will handle it immediately."
Hearing this, Hassar responded and then turned to leave the hall.
...
Sun and Moon Twin Islands.
Ye Cangtian and the other two took a ferry across the sea and arrived at Sun Island.
As soon as they disembarked from the large ship, Ye Cangtian's expression changed. His gaze was drawn to a very large sign on the shore.
The sign had a sentence written in different languages.
'Huaxia forces are forbidden to land on the island, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!'
This was a complete insult to the Huaxia forces. How could Ye Cangtian ignore it? He was immediately furious.
If it weren't for Gui Wu constantly reminding him by his side, and the fact that they had important matters to attend to, Ye Cangtian would have really taken action to dismantle this sign!
Who exactly had such a strong opinion against the Huaxia forces!
Damn it, no matter who you are, you'd better not let me find out...
Feeling indignant, Ye Cangtian slowly disembarked from the ferry with Gui Wu and the other woman.
The three of them followed the crowd ashore. At the exit of the dock, like everyone else, they presented their issued passes to the inspection personnel.
"Sir, Madam, hello. Please come this way. Someone will attend to you..."
The inspector looked at Ye Cangtian's group's passes and then smiled, speaking politely and respectfully.
"Hmm?"
"What do you mean by this? Is it like a lucky draw, and we are the lucky winners?"
Before Ye Cangtian could ask, Gui Wu was the first to inquire.
Everyone else had presented their passes to land on the island, and the others had left on their own. Why were these three treated specially? It was hard not to be suspicious.
"This lady, you misunderstand."
"Your passes are stamped with a blue seal. This blue seal indicates that you are honored guests approved by Master Chen Shengcai, so your treatment is naturally superior..."
The inspector quickly replied. To gain their trust, he even brought other people's passes and placed them together for Ye Cangtian and the others to compare...
"It really is. One is a blue seal, and the other is a red seal..."
Gui Wu checked the passes and glanced at Ye Cangtian, as if asking if he wanted to accept this special treatment.
"The guest follows the host's arrangements."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, appearing indifferent on the surface, but he was mentally prepared.
Now that the passes were divided into red and blue seals, he couldn't help but overthink things.
After all, Chen Shengcai had stamped the seal under his threat. Who knew if the other party would play any tricks.
However, it didn't matter much. If the other party wanted to play games, Ye Cangtian would play along.
Soon, Ye Cangtian and the other two were led away from the dock by disciples of Tingfeng Lou and taken away by car.
As the car drove, everything outside the car quickly whizzed by.
After a short while, the car stopped.
Outside the car was not a city, but a very large courtyard.
There were also several small buildings in the courtyard, but the surrounding walls were very tall, with barbed wire on top.
This made Ye Cangtian and the others frown. In their eyes, this place looked like a prison.
"Please alight, the welcoming ceremony for our honored guests is about to begin. We hope you enjoy it."
The driver got out of the car and personally opened the doors for Ye Cangtian and the other two.
"Heh heh."
A look of disdain flashed across Ye Cangtian's eyes. Although the other party was very respectful on the surface, he had already noticed a hint of coldness flashing in their eyes.
He was now very sure that the other party had a premeditated plan!
Soon, Ye Cangtian alighted with Nancy and Gui Wu.
The moment the car doors opened, a large number of Tingfeng Lou disciples, as many as one or two hundred, surged out from the small buildings and immediately surrounded Ye Cangtian and the others.
Then, a figure emerged with a sneer.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the Captain here, Chen Wu!"
Looking at the people around him, Ye Cangtian glanced at Chen Wu and said mockingly, "So, this pass really has a problem?"
"Haha, it seems you're not stupid either! You figured it out!"
"Unfortunately, it's too late. When you come to our brigade, you have two choices!"
"One, surrender. Two, die here!"
Hearing this, Chen Wu laughed heartily, with excitement already flashing in his eyes.
As the administrator of Moon Island and holding the authority to land on Sun Island, Chen Shengcai had long planned the Yin-Yang plan, specifically to prevent unforeseen events.
Therefore, he prepared red and blue seals. The red seal was the official pass, while the blue seal represented that he was forced, or that the enemy personnel could not be dealt with.
On Sun Island, his collaborator was Chen Wu, and thanks to Chen Shengcai's strategy, Chen Wu had repeatedly achieved great merit.
Now that the target was surrounded by his own men and had nowhere to escape, and with credit about to be obtained, he was naturally very excited.
"Heh heh, I will answer this choice later."
Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "First, answer me a question. Who put that sign at the dock?"
