On the small bridge, Ye Cangtian watched the fierce battle below.
A strange smile gradually appeared on his face. Tai Shan rarely initiated attacks during the fierce combat, and his offensive power was not high.
He was mostly defensive. Although his attack power was a bit low, his defense was very strong.
Moreover, his giant shield was clearly a formidable treasure, which Tai Shan wielded with great skill.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian recalled his previous conversation with Elder Long.
The members of the Death Squad had different cultivation techniques and excelled in different areas, so to rapidly enhance their combat power, they needed to find the most suitable fighting styles for them.
Without a doubt, the most suitable style for Tai Shan was defense, and this was indeed evident from the current situation.
While Ye Cangtian was satisfied with Tai Shan's progress, Miao Zhou, who was fighting Tai Shan, had an extremely grim expression.
Damn it, who was this hulking brute?
Why did he cultivate such a defensive art? Was he afraid of death?
Miao Zhou roared in his heart as he dueled with Tai Shan.
They had been fighting for some time, but with his strength, he had achieved nothing so far, which made him furious.
If he couldn't break through for too long, he might lose due to depleted spiritual energy.
Moreover, there were so many spectators around. If he were to lose, wouldn't that bring shame to Chixia Island?
Thinking of this, Miao Zhou finally roared, "Are you a turtle that only knows how to retract its head? If you have the guts, give up your defense and fight me head-on!"
"Heh heh, if you have the ability, attack and break my defense. If you don't, get lost."
Hearing Miao Zhou's words, Tai Shan not only didn't get angry but chuckled.
He was too familiar with this scene. While training with Elder Long, Ci Dao and Wu Ying Jian couldn't do anything to his defense and often shouted at him.
So, hearing these words now, he was immune.
You...
Hearing Tai Shan's words, Miao Zhou's face turned crimson with anger, and his body began to tremble.
After such a long fight, he had even used his killer moves, yet the opponent remained unharmed, which was incredibly vexing.
And if the opponent refused to abandon his defense, it would be very difficult for him to win this battle, let alone complete the mission assigned by his young master.
Thinking this, his gaze involuntarily shifted to the second-floor window of the nearby restaurant.
He saw a young man by the window make a simple gesture and then proceed to drink wine leisurely.
Seeing this, Miao Zhou had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue his fierce assault on Tai Shan.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian, on the small bridge, noticed Miao Zhou's small movement and wore a playful smile. He then led Qiangwei and others towards the restaurant.
There was no need to worry about Tai Shan. Although Miao Zhou had some strength, he couldn't break through Tai Shan's defense, so he didn't need to concern himself with it.
After a short while, Ye Cangtian arrived on the second floor of the restaurant.
As soon as he reached the second floor, he saw over a dozen men in black standing at the entrance of a private room.
"Stop right there, no entry! The entire second floor has been booked by my young master!"
Ye Cangtian looked at the black-clad guards blocking his path and snorted, "I'm here to see your young master."
Hmm?
Upon hearing this, the guards' eyes darted around. There were certain exchanges between the forces participating in the Apex Summit.
Could the other party also be here to discuss cooperation with their young master?
Thinking this, the guards' expressions softened a bit, and they quickly asked, "May I know who you are, sir? From which force do you come? Please inform me so I can relay the message."
"The Hidden Group, Ye Cangtian!"
A faint voice echoed, and the guards' eyes widened instantly.
After all, in the ruins, some people might not have heard of the five major peak forces, but no one had never heard of the Hidden Group.
A force with such a reputation sending someone to them was something he never imagined.
Thinking this, he quickly said, "Please wait a moment, I will report it immediately."
With that, the guard headed towards the room.
After a short while, the guard returned to Ye Cangtian and made a welcoming gesture, saying, "My young master requests Mr. Ye to come in for a chat."
Ye Cangtian nodded upon hearing this and walked towards the room.
Wait!
As soon as he took a step, the guard's voice came. The next moment, the guard approached Ye Cangtian and said, "My young master only wishes to see you. The others will have to stay behind. Please forgive me."
Heh heh.
Ye Cangtian sneered dismissively, turned to look at Qiangwei and the others, and gave them a nod.
Seeing this, Qiangwei and the others immediately stopped in their tracks.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian entered the private room. As soon as he entered, he saw the young figure by the windowsill.
The young man kept looking out the window, ignoring Ye Cangtian.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian walked up, glanced at the fight below, and wore a faint smile, "Is that your subordinate? He looks like he's struggling?"
The man cast a sidelong glance at Ye Cangtian and said grumpily, "Anyone would have a headache facing such an opponent. He's like a turtle in its shell, impossible to get a handle on!"
Heh heh.
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "By giving up many opportunities to attack, his defense naturally improves."
"What you said has some truth to it."
The man nodded slowly upon hearing this, then turned to look at Ye Cangtian and said, "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Wei Xiaofeng from Chixia Island. Mr. Ye, why have you come?"
"Nothing much, just came to take a look. Perhaps it's fate!"
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, then pointed to the street below and asked, "May I be so bold as to ask why your subordinate is fighting with them?"
"It's all because of that girl next to them!"
"Let me tell you, that girl is very interesting. She eats and drinks in the street without regard for her image, completely unpretentious."
"My father once said that a girl like this is good to marry and raise children. So, I invited her to come up for a chat..."
Mentioning this, Wei Xiaofeng's interest was instantly piqued, and he began to chatter away to Ye Cangtian.
Er...
Listening to the man's explanation, Ye Cangtian's mouth twitched a few times, and he then asked, "So, you want to kidnap her and make her your bandit queen, and you don't want her to resist?"
"Who said it was kidnapping?"
Wei Xiaofeng's eyes widened, and he said indignantly, "I wanted to invite her up, and then communicate our feelings... Although I, Wei Xiaofeng, am not exactly a romantic, I do know how to respect women..."
Er...
Ye Cangtian's mouth twitched again, and black lines began to appear on his forehead. Forcibly inviting someone to come over, and that's called respecting women?
Although Ye Cangtian didn't agree with his statement, he could see that the Wei Xiaofeng in front of him was relatively simple and probably not a bad person.
Thinking this, he said, "You've seen the situation below. Your subordinate probably can't defeat the opponent. You should give up!"
He paused and continued, "You should be able to see that if this battle continues to the end, your subordinate will likely lose due to depleted spiritual energy, which would be very embarrassing!"
Humph!
Wei Xiaofeng snorted upon hearing this. Although he was somewhat unconvinced, he also knew that what Ye Cangtian said was the truth.
After a moment of silence, Wei Xiaofeng finally spoke, "I really want to get to know such an extraordinary woman. So, I'm a little reluctant to withdraw Miao Zhou."
Speaking of which, Wei Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, aren't you a Heaven-tier expert? If you can invite that woman up here, I, Wei Xiaofeng, will reward you handsomely. What do you say?"
Er!
Ye Cangtian was stunned for a moment. He never expected Wei Xiaofeng to say something so surprising.
Did the man not consider why he himself had come?
However, thinking about it, it was appropriate to teach him a lesson for targeting Yao Bao'er.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "Inviting that woman up is certainly no problem, but you'll have to give me the reward first."
"No problem!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaofeng suddenly laughed with excitement. If a Heaven-tier expert like him made a move, this matter would surely be successful.
Thinking this, he directly took out several bottles of pills and some rare ores from his Qiankun Bag and pushed them towards the other party.
After all, given the other party's status, he wasn't worried about them running off with the items.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian glanced at the pills on the table and found that they were all Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.
The next moment, he looked at the man and said, "I didn't expect you to be so generous. However, these Nine Revolutions Golden Pills aren't of much use to me..."
