When the elevator doors opened again, he had arrived at the top floor.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ye Cangtian knocked on the presidential suite door, and the next moment, the door opened.
The one who opened the door was none other than Dongfang Mingyue.
However, at this moment, Dongfang Mingyue was groggy, her long hair disheveled, and she was wearing loose pajamas, clearly already fast asleep.
"You brat, don't you have any public conscience!"
"It's almost midnight, what urgent matter do you have that you have to rush over!"
"If anyone didn't know, they'd think your sister was meeting her lover..."
Seeing that it was Ye Cangtian, Dongfang Mingyue glared at him impatiently and began to grumble.
She had finally put down the heavy burden of the Hidden Organization and wanted to take this opportunity to rest well.
Now, as soon as she had fallen asleep, she was interrupted by him.
Her mood was incredibly bad!
"Hehe, Sister Mingyue, I haven't seen you in a while and I missed you! So I couldn't control myself!"
Ye Cangtian flashed inside, bypassed Dongfang Mingyue who was blocking the door, and entered the room.
The spacious room was spotless, showing that Dongfang Mingyue was very clean and followed the rules.
Ye Cangtian didn't stand on ceremony and sat directly on the sofa.
Hmph!
Seeing Ye Cangtian sit down, Dongfang Mingyue snorted lightly, then poured a glass of water, handed it over, and then said, "Speak, why are you here so late?"
"It's nothing."
"I just don't know what could have alarmed you, Sister Mingyue?"
Ye Cangtian drank some water and asked with a smile.
"What else could it be?"
"Of course, it's the entrance formation! With such a big incident, do you think I can just sit idly by?"
Dongfang Mingyue glared at Ye Cangtian and said impatiently.
The entrance formation was extremely important to the Hidden Organization, and any carelessness could lead to the loss of decades of their foundation.
Dongfang Mingyue, as the acting head of the Hidden Organization, naturally had to personally investigate the situation and handle it as soon as possible when such an incident occurred.
Hearing that Dongfang Mingyue was here for this matter, Ye Cangtian began to inquire.
In fact, he also wanted to know if there were any remedial measures for the entrance formation.
It was a pity that this formation was set up by the ancestors of the Hidden Organization, and there were not many formation masters within the organization, so Dongfang Mingyue had no idea how to remedy it.
All she could do was mobilize the masters of the Hidden Organization to strictly control the entrance and its surroundings.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian sighed helplessly and then changed the subject, saying, "Sister Mingyue, what happened between you and Old Master Xu? Why did you anger him so much..."
"He angered me so much? I'm the one who's angered!"
With that sentence, it was as if Ye Cangtian had stepped on a cat's tail, and Dongfang Mingyue instantly became agitated.
She put her hands on her waist and said angrily, "That Old Man Xu is too stubborn! Tell me, was I wrong to discipline the Bright Hall?"
Uh...
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian understood everything.
Dongfang Mingyue's thoughts were the same as his previous ones; they both intended to take action against the Bright Hall.
This conflicted with Old Master Xu's strategic policy, which was why the two of them had argued so heatedly.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian slowly said, "From a neutral perspective, neither of you is wrong; both of you are acting for the good of China."
However, Dongfang Mingyue's approach was somewhat radical, while Old Master Xu's was more conservative!
"Hmph, he's old, and his edges have been worn away by time!"
"You say, if we don't teach the Bright Hall a lesson this time, who knows what tricks they'll pull in the future!"
"Besides, a certain leader once said a sentence that I think is very appropriate here!"
Dongfang Mingyue said indignantly. Feeling Ye Cangtian's questioning gaze, she immediately glared at him and said, "Strike once to deter a hundred blows!"
"..."
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Truly domineering!
"To be honest, I had the same idea as you before."
After a moment of silence, Ye Cangtian continued, "But now my thinking has changed. Do you know how much power the Bright Hall mobilized to destroy the entrance formation this time?"
Hearing this, Dongfang Mingyue glanced at Ye Cangtian with confusion.
Reason told her that the results of her investigation were only superficial, and what Ye Cangtian was about to say was probably something more hidden.
Sensing Dongfang Mingyue's gaze, Ye Cangtian did not hide anything and said directly, "Just for the Myriad Bone Blood Formation, the Bright Hall and the Listening Wind Tower sacrificed 12 Earth-level experts!"
"What! Where did they get so many Earth-level experts!"
Dongfang Mingyue's eyes widened as soon as she heard this, and she questioned him.
She had heard of the Listening Wind Tower, and it might have some Earth-level experts, but certainly not many!
In her opinion, there would be at most three or four Earth-level experts, so where did the remaining eight or nine Earth-level experts come from?
After all, she had dealt with the Bright Hall for over a decade, and she knew exactly how many Cardinals they had!
To be blunt, even if the outer halls of the Bright Hall mobilized all their Cardinals, they still couldn't gather so many masters with the Listening Wind Tower.
Moreover, this was a sacrifice. Once these people died, the strength of both sides would be greatly reduced!
She didn't believe the Bright Hall would do something so crazy!
Dongfang Mingyue's expression was exactly as Ye Cangtian had expected, and he then slowly said, "These Earth-level experts were all promoted by the Bright Hall using Nine Revolutions Golden Pills."
"Impossible!"
Dongfang Mingyue immediately denied it and said to Ye Cangtian, "Do you know that the Hua Xia Ruins are the biggest and earliest discovered ruins, and how many Nine Revolutions Golden Pills does the Hidden Organization have to this day?"
Ye Cangtian nodded silently.
"It's no harm to tell you, besides those used, there are only five Nine Revolutions Golden Pills left! Each one is extremely precious."
"And the Bright Ruins are the second ruins, developed several years later than the first. How could they possibly have so many Nine Revolutions Golden Pills surviving!"
Dongfang Mingyue said in a gloomy tone.
It wasn't that she didn't believe it, but that it was absolutely impossible. After all, the places where Nine Revolutions Golden Pills could exist were all extremely dangerous.
Even for her, entering them was a matter of life and death.
And how many Earth-level experts like her did the Bright Hall have?
On the other side, after hearing Dongfang Mingyue's words, Ye Cangtian felt a warmth in his heart.
With so few Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, Dongfang Mingyue had even wanted to help him obtain one openly back then, which showed how much she cared for him.
Thinking about it, Ye Cangtian said, "Sister Mingyue, whether you believe it or not, this is the truth! You must know that to contain the Hua Xia forces, the Bright Hall additionally paid three Nine Revolutions Golden Pills..."
To convince Dongfang Mingyue, Ye Cangtian revealed the conditions of the cooperation between the three parties in the capital and the Bright Hall.
"This..."
With that, Dongfang Mingyue was completely speechless.
In her opinion, the Bright Hall's reserve of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills was at most on par with the Hidden Organization, or even less than the Hidden Organization.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Bright Hall to make such a large expenditure. Now that it was a fact, the problem was serious.
It was not a good thing for the Bright Hall to obtain a large number of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, as it would undoubtedly increase their combat power, and they might break the current balance of power among the three factions.
Seeing that she had stopped speaking, Ye Cangtian continued, "It seems Sister Mingyue has also thought of something, so I say it's absolutely unwise to attack the Bright Hall now!"
"You're right! It was my misunderstanding of the situation that led me to make a hasty decision. Fortunately, you reminded me."
Dongfang Mingyue took a deep breath and calmed down.
She had to admit now that her previous idea was very dangerous.
"Sister Mingyue, please return to the Hidden Organization and hold the fort. Leave the outside matters to me!"
"Don't worry, little brother will definitely help you vent this anger."
Seeing Dongfang Mingyue fall silent, Ye Cangtian stepped forward and said with a smile.
"What bad idea do you have, you brat?"
Seeing the mischievous smile on Ye Cangtian's face, Dongfang Mingyue's eyes lit up. She knew Ye Cangtian was not one to suffer losses, and this situation meant he had come up with a good plan.
