"Hmph? You're quite arrogant, kid!"
"Instead of answering my questions honestly, you're asking me questions. Who the hell gave you the guts!"
"Brothers, go! Teach them a good lesson!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Chen Wu's eyes immediately flared with anger.
This kind of ungrateful brat needed to be taught a lesson, otherwise, even if they were captured, they wouldn't cooperate.
The next moment, the people from Tingfeng Tower around them, without a word, charged forward.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "Little Ghost, Little Xi, handle them. Remember not to be too harsh, just make them obedient enough."
Ye Cangtian had no intention of killing.
There were still many suspicious aspects about Tingfeng Tower.
First, the people living here were almost all of East Asian descent, with only a small number of Europeans and Americans.
Second, most of these people used Chinese names, suggesting some connection to China.
Finally, before definitively labeling Tingfeng Tower, he didn't want to resort to killing.
Hmph!
As his voice fell, two delicate hums sounded almost simultaneously. Gui Wu and Nan Xi's figures flickered.
In an instant, figures were sent flying backward one by one, crashing heavily onto the ground and letting out a series of groans.
They were merely ordinary disciples, with strengths ranging from Yellow to Profound level.
Although they were more numerous, they were no match for Gui Wu and Nan Xi.
"This..."
Seeing more and more disciples fall and wail, Chen Wu's forehead began to bead with cold sweat.
He never imagined that these two women would be so strong!
Upon seeing the strength of the two women, his gaze towards Ye Cangtian was filled with fear.
He wasn't stupid; he could naturally see Ye Cangtian's position among the three. If these two women were this strong, the opponent's power must be terrifying.
"You, who exactly are you..."
Finally, unable to bear the fear in his heart, Chen Wu asked tremblingly.
"Heh heh, who I am isn't important."
"What's important is, who put up the sign at the Sun Island docks!"
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, his gaze swept over Chen Wu, and he questioned him again.
"..."
With these words, Chen Wu's cold sweat flowed even faster.
He could see that the other party was very displeased with that sign.
From this perspective, the other party should be from a Chinese force...
"It seems you're unwilling to talk. Then you can't blame me!"
On the other side, seeing that Chen Wu was still unwilling to speak, Ye Cangtian sneered and his figure instantly flashed towards Chen Wu.
*Slap!*
Before Chen Wu could react, Ye Cangtian's large hand grabbed his neck, and he was slowly lifted up.
"Stop!"
At this moment, Chen Wu finally got scared and used all his authority to shout for everyone to stop.
Then, his gaze fell on Ye Cangtian and he said, "I'll talk, I'll talk. The sign was put up by the楼主, as he ordered us to do..."
"Why specifically target Chinese forces!"
Ye Cangtian's face clearly darkened, and a trace of killing intent gradually mixed into his eyes.
"No, I don't know!"
"Anyway, after the new楼主 took office, he made this request. We just followed orders and couldn't interfere..."
Feeling the terrifying killing intent, Chen Wu's face turned pale with fright as he quickly replied.
New楼主?
Ye Cangtian's brows furrowed. If he guessed correctly, although Tingfeng Tower had never welcomed outsiders in the past, their attitude towards Chinese forces was never this hostile.
The reason for this now was likely the doing of the Bright Hall, especially since the Bright Hall funded Tingfeng Tower...
With that thought, he flicked his hand, directly tossing Chen Wu away.
He then spoke, "Chen Wu, you know what to say about what happened today, right?"
"I know, I know. Nothing happened here today..."
Chen Wu was not foolish. He knew that the other party intended to spare his life and knew the answer they wanted to hear, so he quickly nodded.
"Very good. It's best you keep your mouth shut, or when I come looking for you again, it will be too late!"
Ye Cangtian nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left with the two women without looking back.
Watching the three of them leave leisurely, Chen Wu confirmed they were far away, and the worry in his heart finally subsided.
He then angrily summoned his subordinates and said sinisterly, "Go and inform the elders. Tell them that Chinese forces have landed on the island, and their strength is formidable, at least at the peak of the Profound level..."
After giving these instructions, Chen Wu wiped the cold sweat from his face and cursed inwardly:
Damn it, you think you can be so arrogant. When you fall into my hands...
...
Tingfeng Tower Headquarters.
The楼主 and the four elders had just received news from the Bright Hall.
In the next two days, the Bright Hall would send a cardinal to help Tingfeng Tower deal with various difficulties.
At the same time, the Bright Hall had explicitly responded regarding personnel from the Dark Association landing on the island, with only one statement: kill without mercy!
All consequences would be borne by the Bright Hall.
"Fourth Elder, normally this kind of matter should be handled by Feng Ze."
"But Feng Ze is still recovering from his injuries, so the petty thieves from the Dark Association can only be handled by you."
The楼主, sitting in the main seat, remained silent for a long time before finally issuing the order.
The Fourth Elder nodded dully.
He also didn't want to provoke the Dark Association, as they were not easy to deal with, but with Feng Ze, who had just been promoted to Elder, being injured,
Apart from Feng Ze, he was the lowest in status, so it was only right for him to do the hard work.
"Report!"
Just as the Fourth Elder accepted the mission, a disciple of Tingfeng Tower entered the hall.
He respectfully bowed to the楼主 and all the elders, then said, "Captain Chen Wu has just sent someone to report that people from Chinese forces have landed on Sun Island!"
Chinese forces?
The four elders exchanged glances, then looked at the楼主 in unison.
Feeling the gaze of the elders, the楼主 snorted and said, "Why are you looking at me? Don't you know what to do?"
Tingfeng Tower now stood with the Bright Hall, and Chinese forces were one of the mortal enemies of the Bright Hall.
Therefore, there was only one way to deal with them: just like with the people from the Dark Association, eliminate the Chinese forces as well.
"My Lord楼主, we naturally won't be lenient towards the Chinese forces."
"But there's one problem. If that old man finds out about this, will he go crazy?"
"You know, last time we messed with the formation at the entrance of the Chinese ruins, that old man went berserk. If we hadn't succeeded in destroying the formation, he probably wouldn't have let it go..."
Hearing the楼主's words, the Third Elder quickly stepped forward and spoke.
With his words, the楼主's face immediately darkened, clearly showing his apprehension towards the old man mentioned by the Third Elder.
"No matter what, since Chinese forces have landed on the island, they must be eliminated!"
After a moment of deliberation, the楼主 finally made up his mind. This was the result of his weighing the pros and cons.
First, since he had joined the Bright Hall's camp, he could not stand idly by.
Once they lost the support of the Bright Hall, it would be a risk of destruction for Tingfeng Tower, and they could not afford the retaliation from the Bright Hall.
Second, the old man mentioned by the Third Elder was an old fellow who was close to China.
If he were to come into contact with Chinese forces, who knew what he might do.
Therefore, considering these two points, the Chinese forces had to be cleared out as quickly as possible.
Saying this, he glanced at the Third Elder and said, "Third Elder, you will be primarily responsible for the Chinese forces."
"I expect you to cooperate with the Fourth Elder. Whether it's Chinese forces or the Dark Association, I only want them dead!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the Third Elder immediately replied, then exchanged a look with the Fourth Elder. The two of them left the hall together.
