Ye Cangtian was the one who made the move!
Everything happened rather suddenly. The representatives of the other factions hadn't even reacted. He had to step in at this moment.
No matter what, he couldn't let Charlie get his way.
"You little pest, betraying your master and you think you can just leave?"
"Are you overthinking things?"
Ye Cangtian looked at the other party mockingly, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Lord Chandler, save... save me..."
Seeing Ye Cangtian approaching step by step, Charlie knew he was no match for him. The only one who could save him now was Chandler, so he quickly cried out for help.
"What are you waiting for! Attack, damn it!"
On the other side, Chandler roared in anger. He was entangled by Lei Hadun and couldn't save Charlie at all.
Thus, he could only place his hope in his subordinates, but his subordinates remained motionless, which infuriated him.
It was clearly an all-out war, yet they weren't acting. Were they waiting to be annihilated?
After a roar, the remaining dozen or so people reluctantly charged forward. They had to obey orders, and they also had to save Charlie.
However, facing Ye Cangtian, even with the advantage in numbers, they lacked confidence in their hearts.
Seeing that the people from the Tam Mercenary Group had protected Charlie, Ye Cangtian didn't rush to attack. Instead, he glanced at the others nearby.
"Since you have all joined forces with the Lightning Mercenary Group, you should stand united against the common enemy. It's time to make a move!"
"I have only one requirement: everyone must kill at least one person. Anyone who doesn't act will be considered an enemy!"
Ye Cangtian's voice carried, and everyone paused slightly before understanding his intention.
The newly formed alliance lacked trust and was unstable. It was possible that someone might betray them in the future and pledge allegiance to the Bright Hall.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian was making them offer a token of allegiance.
By killing members of the Tam Mercenary Group, they would become enemies of the Bright Hall, and the Bright Hall would not give them a chance to surrender in the future.
Kill!
After a moment, a shout of killing erupted, followed by more and more shouts of killing.
Everyone charged forward, including Zhuo De.
Although he disdained Ye Cangtian, he couldn't hesitate at this moment.
Otherwise, not only would he die, but it was likely that all factions would unite to punish the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group afterward.
In an instant, a fierce battle was about to break out.
The scene was chaotic. Ye Cangtian ignored the surrounding fighting and fixed his gaze on Charlie, walking towards him step by step.
"This..."
Seeing this, Charlie's face instantly turned grim.
The surroundings were chaotic, and everyone was fighting. No one could come to his rescue.
Moreover, these people were already wary of Ye Cangtian. With people from all factions now charging forward, it gave them an opportunity to avoid Ye Cangtian.
Thinking of this, Charlie knew he was likely doomed today, but he didn't regret it. Lei Hadun had truly chilled his heart!
The next moment, he glanced at Ye Cangtian and said coldly, "Ye Cangtian, killing me is meaningless. The alliance you spent so much effort to build will ultimately be annihilated by the Bright Hall. Everything is in vain."
"Heh heh, what you say doesn't count, and you won't live to see what happens in the future."
Ye Cangtian sneered dismissively and stepped forward, continuing, "Actually, I want to say that you are really not smart. Even if I let you live, the Bright Hall will eventually abandon you!"
In Ye Cangtian's eyes, Charlie's actions were extremely foolish.
Firstly, the ideas of the other party were short-sighted.
Secondly, the timing of his defection was wrong. To defect to the Bright Hall so openly was to court death.
Moreover, the benefits brought to the Bright Hall were minimal, and he would be unlikely to be reused in the future.
If he had defected secretly after Ye Cangtian left, and then collaborated from the inside and outside, perhaps the alliance would have been destroyed.
After all, Charlie was Lei Hadun's confidant, and Lei Hadun was the alliance leader. He might have listened to Charlie's slander and made some wrong decisions.
But Charlie clearly lacked the intellect for that.
In Ye Cangtian's view, Charlie's only redeeming quality was his previous loyalty to Lei Hadun.
However, with his current betrayal, that sole redeeming quality had also vanished.
"If you want to kill, then kill me. Why are you spouting nonsense!"
"I'll still be a good man in eighteen years!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Charlie finally couldn't suppress his anger and roared. At the same time, he exerted all his strength and charged towards Ye Cangtian.
He already hated Ye Cangtian, and now with Ye Cangtian spewing such arrogance in front of him, how could he endure it!
*Puff!*
The next moment, a dark light flashed, and Charlie suddenly covered his neck with both hands.
His attack had missed, but he felt a chilling sensation on his neck and immediately realized something.
However, it was all in vain. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop the hot blood gushing out.
In the end, he could only fall to the ground with endless unwillingness.
After dealing with Charlie, Ye Cangtian flashed to the edge of the battlefield alone, observing everything.
He still didn't make a move. As he had said, he would not act unless it was absolutely necessary.
At this moment, both sides were locked in a fierce battle, but the vast majority of the Tam Mercenary Group members were slightly suppressed.
These individuals representing various factions were definitely the elites of their respective forces, so it was natural for them to suppress their opponents.
In the entire arena, only Chandler, relying on his explosive combat power, was steadily suppressing Lei Hadun.
Lei Hadun's wounds were increasing, his combat power was rapidly declining, and the situation was becoming increasingly dangerous. He might be killed by his opponent at any moment.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian finally moved.
These factions had finally formed an alliance. If their leader were to be killed on the very first day, what would be the meaning of the alliance?
On the other side, Chandler had been extremely excited when he saw Ye Cangtian retreat from the battle. Regardless of the reason, as long as Ye Cangtian wasn't present, he could wreak havoc.
However, seeing Ye Cangtian return now, his heart sank to the bottom.
The next moment, he gritted his teeth fiercely and thrust his sword towards Lei Hadun with all his might. No matter what, the alliance leader must die!
*Clang!*
A light sound echoed for a moment as the sword was violently repelled. At the critical moment, Ye Cangtian neutralized Chandler's attack and stood in front of Lei Hadun.
"Thank you for your timely assistance, Mr. Ye. I will never forget this kindness!"
Looking at Ye Cangtian before him, Lei Hadun quickly bowed.
If Ye Cangtian hadn't intervened just now, he likely would have fallen by Chandler's sword. Now that his life was saved, he was naturally filled with gratitude towards Ye Cangtian.
"Go help the others. Leave this to me!"
Ye Cangtian's voice came, and Lei Hadun quickly agreed and turned to leave.
After all, he was no match for Chandler, and to continue fighting would undoubtedly lead to his death.
He was not foolish, and naturally would not refuse Ye Cangtian's kind offer.
"Ye Cangtian, I know I am no match for you, but I want to make a deal with you!"
"As long as you let us leave, you can name your price!"
Facing Ye Cangtian, Chandler forced himself to calm down. The enemy was strong, and they were weak. A direct confrontation was simply courting death, something he was well aware of.
"You didn't seem to be listening carefully just now!"
"The alliance has just been established. It needs someone to be a sacrificial offering, a token of allegiance, to stabilize the alliance. What do you say?"
Ye Cangtian said mockingly upon hearing this.
