After repeated questioning, Zi Long finally learned everything.
After a long silence, Zi Long swept his gaze towards Ye Cangtian and said, "Although we were played by the Guangming Hall in this matter, from the outcome, it is beneficial to our Dark Association!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian echoed, "You are right, at least this provides us with the possibility to advance into the Huaxia Ruins!"
"But it is best to be cautious about everything, and we must not act rashly..."
Hm?
Slightly stunned, Zi Long understood Ye Cangtian's meaning.
Indeed, it was better to be cautious.
The Guangming Hall was no saint, and their relationship with the Dark Association was one of constant rivalry.
Therefore, it was unlikely that the Guangming Hall would specifically destroy the entrance to the ruins for the Dark Association.
Their purpose in doing so was likely to lure the Dark Association into the Huaxia Ruins, causing both sides to engage in a fierce battle, thus reaping the benefits.
And the Huaxia side would not sit idly by; they would undoubtedly stockpile troops at the entrance to guard the entire ruins.
Thinking of this, Zi Long glanced at the other person and said, "What are your plans?"
Ye Cangtian replied, "Respond to change with constancy. Pretend we know nothing. I believe the Guangming Hall will not be able to sit still, and then we will deal with it as it comes."
Hearing this, Zi Long nodded, then changed the subject, saying, "I just received news that Gui Wu and Nan Xi appeared in Kyoto and eventually entered Ye Cangtian's villa..."
As he spoke, Zi Long looked at Ye Cangtian, his eyes flickering.
As if to say, how will you explain this mess to Lord Xing Yuan?
"It's fine."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and continued, "Gui Wu was captured by Ye Cangtian on the day of the operation. It's normal for her to defect to Ye Cangtian to save her life."
"Hmph! You're still speaking up for her at this point?"
"Are you out of your mind? Aren't you considering your own situation?"
Zi Long was furious upon hearing this.
In his opinion, Po Xiao was clearly infatuated with Gui Wu. He was somewhat disappointed.
"Don't worry, I've spent quite some time with Gui Wu, and I know she's not someone who repays kindness with ingratitude."
"I have absolute confidence that when I need her, she will step forward!"
Ye Cangtian still had a smile on his face and continued, "Besides, having her follow Ye Cangtian is much more useful than keeping her by my side."
Zi Long immediately understood the meaning of his words.
As Ye Cangtian's strength grew, planting a spy by his side became increasingly important.
But the question was, was Gui Wu truly trustworthy?
Zi Long pondered for a moment, then said, "What you're saying has some truth to it, but I still believe we should eliminate Gui Wu. This would also be an explanation to Lord Xing Yuan!"
There was no way around it, this matter had to be guarded against!
Zi Long was truly worried that Gui Wu might be used by Ye Cangtian, or become a double agent.
At that time, Po Xiao would be severely punished, and he might even be implicated.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian's gaze turned grim, and he said, "Let's leave it at that for now. I said I have absolute confidence. Let's talk about the main business!"
Seeing that Po Xiao's gaze had obviously darkened, Zi Long felt displeased, but he suppressed it after thinking about it.
The reason was simple: the last time, they had a very strained relationship over the matter of Lu Sisi. As it turned out, Lu Sisi was a spy for the Anti-Dark Alliance.
This not only made Zi Long feel apologetic towards Po Xiao but also greatly affirmed Po Xiao's ability, to the point where he was now hesitant to clash with Po Xiao.
Being proven wrong was secondary.
The key was the impact on their relationship, which would reduce their influence within the Dark Association, making it not worth the trouble.
Thinking of this, Zi Long asked, "Is there anything else?"
"The Ting Feng Lou, they are not simple!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian took out the compiled information and handed it over, saying, "This is the information Gui Wu gave me from Ye Cangtian."
Damn it, it was good that there was no argument just now, otherwise, he would have been proven wrong.
Looking at the few pages of information, Zi Long muttered to himself. He finally understood why Po Xiao was so confident.
The next moment, Zi Long's expression became serious. This Ting Feng Lou seemed to have no strength, but the information stated was too shocking!
"Is this information all true?" Zi Long asked, glancing at Po Xiao.
"It is said to have been investigated by that Death Squad. It should not be false!"
Ye Cangtian replied expressionlessly and continued, "I also want to tell you something. The Ting Feng Lou has clearly sided with the Guangming Hall.
And their relationship is even closer than the relationship between the Guangming Hall and the Sky Net!"
"What!"
Zi Long almost jumped up.
If such a massive force joined the Guangming Hall, wouldn't the Guangming Hall walk sideways in the future!
Unless the Dark Association could bring out the powerful experts within the ruins, they could then counterbalance the Guangming Hall.
But if that were the case, what about the situation within the ruins?
"Po Xiao, you are always resourceful, what do you think should be done about this matter?" Zi Long asked quickly after a moment of silence.
"What else can be done? Eliminate all threats in their infancy!"
Ye Cangtian was very decisive, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes, and he continued, "This matter must be resolute, no matter the cost, it is worth it!"
"I understand what you mean."
"But they have five elders, plus a楼主 (Louzhu - Hall Master). Their combat power far exceeds imagination, and this is even without the Guangming Hall's intervention."
Zi Long said with apprehension. He also wanted to cut the Gordian Knot quickly.
But with so many Earth-level experts present, even if he gathered all the external Earth-level stewards like Qing Dao and Lan Yue, he probably couldn't eliminate them!
Moreover, he could not act rashly in such an uncertain operation. He had to report to Xing Yuan first.
After all, if the operation failed and they died at Ting Feng Lou, it would be a significant loss for the Dark Association.
"For this operation, Qing Dao and Lan Yue cooperating with me should be enough."
"Don't forget, this information was obtained from that Ye Cangtian. It's likely that the Huaxia forces will also be unable to sit still. When they act together, it will save some effort."
"However, you are right. For such a large operation, it is still best to let Lord Xing Yuan make the decision."
Listening to Zi Long, Ye Cangtian said.
This time, he had made up his mind and would eradicate the threat of Ting Feng Lou no matter what.
"Alright, I will urgently report this matter. It will take a few days, so you can make preparations for now!"
Zi Long responded, quickly picked up the phone, and gave instructions.
...
The next morning.
After sending Tang Xin Wan to the company, Ye Cangtian contacted Gui Wu.
As soon as Ye Cangtian returned to the villa, Nan Xi and Gui Wu also rushed back.
"You can't wait even after just one night apart?" Gui Wu glanced at Ye Cangtian and said grumpily.
Ye Cangtian snorted, "What are you thinking nonsense for? I called you back because I have something to discuss!"
Hm?
Gui Wu heard this and cast a questioning glance.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian directly said, "I need to find a quiet place to go into seclusion for a few days. I'll leave the matters at home to you."
"Ah?"
Gui Wu was slightly stunned, and her expression immediately became serious, "Do you need me to protect you?"
She knew that it was most taboo to be disturbed during seclusion, and having received so many benefits from Ye Cangtian, she felt bad not doing anything.
"You don't have to worry about my side."
Ye Cangtian waved his hand with a smile. For him, there were few external factors that could disturb him. As long as things were fine at home, everything would be fine.
Hearing this, Gui Wu nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll wait for you here. I wish you a breakthrough!"
"Hmph! I wish you would go berserk and die!"
On the other side, Nan Xi glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian. She was truly unconvinced in her heart!
She believed her talent was no worse than Ye Cangtian's, but the other party had continuously broken through to the Earth level first, and now his cultivation was about to break through again, which was truly unbearable for her.
Thinking of the title "Pride of Heaven" at this moment, she wished she could disappear into the ground. Compared to Ye Cangtian, this title was a naked mockery of her.
