"Look..."
As Hei Cheng was introducing the Five Poisons Village, Ye Cangtian saw a team emerge from the village.
The team was not large, numbering only about a hundred.
"It's Du Xin!"
Hei Cheng recognized the leader from afar as Du Xin, who had escaped from the Hidden Group.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's eyes flickered as he said, "It seems he's planning to take people back for revenge! Zuo Bai..."
As Ye Cangtian spoke, he called Zuo Bai over and gave him a few simple instructions.
Listening to Ye Cangtian, Zuo Bai nodded and then led the people from Yulong Mountain Villa to set up an ambush.
"Brother Ye, won't this alert the enemy?"
Bing Yao approached and quietly asked. This area was on the outskirts of the Five Poisons Village, and any significant commotion would surely attract their attention.
If they were to act later, they would inevitably face strong resistance and increased casualties.
"Not bad, you've got some brains."
Ye Cangtian teased with a smile, then asked, "But do you think I would alert the enemy?"
Hmph!
Being teased by Ye Cangtian, Bing Yao let out a soft hmph and turned her head away.
Ye Cangtian smiled and ignored her, leading the group a bit further back into the rainforest. They then sat down to wait for Du Xin to arrive.
...
"Damn it, that scumbag Du Chuan almost got me killed!"
"When we get to Jilong City, I'll make sure he pays. Then I'll send him to headquarters to suffer the torment of a thousand poisons..."
A moment later, curses echoed through the rainforest.
Du Xin and his group had entered the rainforest. As Du Xin pushed aside the dense foliage, his voice suddenly stopped.
Under a large tree not far in front of them sat several figures. These figures were all too familiar to him, so much so that he almost screamed upon seeing them.
However, this was still the edge of the rainforest, and the headquarters of the Five Poisons Sect was not far behind, which made him a little calmer.
The next moment, his gaze fell upon the figure of a man beside the Death God, his eyes flickering.
"Du Chuan, you truly betrayed the Five Poisons Sect!"
"You actually brought the Death God and others from Yulong Mountain Villa here, you're seeking your own death!"
As the voice reached him, Du Chuan felt both vexed and indignant.
If Du Xin hadn't fled in panic due to his mistrust, why would he have been forced to return to the Hidden Group?
But no matter how angry he was, he couldn't say these words, as he had already returned to the Hidden Group.
If he were to argue with the other party again, it would seem as if he still harbored affection for the Five Poisons Sect, leading to misunderstandings.
So, he simply snorted coldly as a response to Du Xin.
Ye Cangtian, seeing that Du Chuan remained silent, glanced at him and said, "Du Xin, I spared your life, but it seems you don't cherish it! Now you're bringing people back for revenge?"
Bah!
Upon hearing this, Du Xin immediately looked contemptuous and angrily retorted, "What do you mean you spared my life? I clearly escaped by my own abilities!"
"Heh heh, Du Xin, why don't you think carefully!"
"If I had truly intended to kill you, do you think you would have had any chance of escaping?"
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, looking at him playfully.
This...
With a single sentence, Du Xin's face turned red. He couldn't utter a word.
Thinking back, he wasn't far from Ye Cangtian at that moment. If Ye Cangtian had truly wanted him dead, he would have found it difficult to escape.
But why would the other party let him go?
With this thought, Du Xin seemed to realize something.
He immediately looked at the other party and said in a deep voice, "You are intentionally trying to sow discord between the Five Poisons Sect and Du Chuan, so that Du Chuan will help you deal with the Five Poisons Sect?"
Du Xin suddenly remembered that if what Du Chuan had said earlier was true, then the rewards given by the Death God to Du Chuan were indeed excessive.
No one does business at a loss, and the Death God was no exception.
He must have had a purpose in doing this, and perhaps he had discovered him and was putting on a show for him...
Clap! Clap!
Ye Cangtian clapped his hands and looked at the other party with a smile, saying, "Not bad for an elder of the Five Poisons Sect headquarters, you do have some brains. That's right, I am sowing discord between you, but unfortunately, there's no reward!"
"Damn it, you really played me!"
Upon hearing this, Du Xin was immediately furious. He hadn't expected that at his age, he would be played like this by a young kid.
"Heh heh, I played you. What are you going to do about it?"
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, glancing playfully at the Five Poisons Sect members behind Du Xin, and continued, "Do you think these people alone can make me back down?"
"Bite you?"
Du Xin's anger rose a notch. The other party was clearly treating him like a dog!
The next moment, he said sinisterly, "Death God, you might be strong, but the people around you are just weaklings. Now that you've brought them to my territory, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Du Xin's meaning was clear: even if he couldn't defeat the Death God today, he could at least take down the people around him.
"Oh? Are you that confident?"
Ye Cangtian smiled disdainfully and continued, "Then let's not waste any more time. Hurry up and make your move..."
"No rush! I'll prepare a gift for you first!"
Du Xin said, taking out a firework from his hand and launching it into the sky.
He wasn't entirely confident about the upcoming battle, so he wanted to send a signal to the Five Poisons Sect before engaging.
This way, even if he died in battle, the Five Poisons Sect would receive the news and be prepared to fight.
However, as the firework rose into the sky, before it could explode, a spiritual energy hand grabbed it.
"Playing is playing, but calling for reinforcements is not right."
A playful voice was heard, and Du Xin's expression turned extremely grim.
The other party clearly didn't want the Five Poisons Sect to know about the situation here. This was an attempt at a surprise attack!
Thinking this, Du Xin quickly turned and said, "You, take a few people back to the Five Poisons Sect and report what happened here!"
Yes!
Du Xin's subordinates behind him immediately responded to his command and retreated.
However, after only a few steps, these subordinates stopped.
The sound of rustling came from the dense forest behind them, and then the people from Yulong Mountain Villa appeared before them.
"Heh heh, I told you, calling for reinforcements is not right!"
This...
As the voice came, Du Xin gritted his teeth tightly. With the Death God in front of him and the people from Yulong Mountain Villa behind him, it would be difficult for him to break through.
Let alone passing on any message.
Thinking of this, Du Xin roared, "Brothers, you have seen the situation now. If you want to survive, you can only fight with all your might! Listen to my command, attack..."
With Du Xin's command, the people from the Five Poisons Sect immediately drew their weapons and charged towards Ye Cangtian and his group.
Du Xin was right; the other party was here to eliminate them, so their only means of survival was to fight to the death.
"Xue Qi, Bing Yao, Bao'er, Du Chuan, go and get some exercise!"
These were just some minor lackeys, and Ye Cangtian had no interest in making a move himself, so he directly made arrangements.
As his words fell, Xue Qi, Bing Yao, and Du Chuan immediately flashed forward. Only Yao Bao'er looked at Ye Cangtian with disbelief.
"Smelly boss, I'm a non-combatant personnel, you can't keep pestering me!"
In Yao Bao'er's opinion, this was undoubtedly Ye Cangtian trying to train her, and she disliked fighting, so she was particularly angry.
"Heh heh, in my eyes, there are no non-combatant personnel."
"Bao'er, you have two options now: either deal with these small fry now, or hand over the sect leader of the Five Poisons Sect to you?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at her and said playfully.
It wasn't that he was heartless, but Yao Bao'er's cultivation had greatly increased after taking the Tianji Pill, yet she lacked the corresponding combat power, which was a headache for him.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian intended to let Yao Bao'er gain some experience so that she would have some ability to protect herself when he was not around in the future.
You...
On the other side, upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Yao Bao'er's face immediately turned red.
After all, how easy was it to deal with the sect leader of the Five Poisons Sect?
She would likely be crushed if she faced him!
And Ye Cangtian was a man of his word. If she really didn't make a move now, she would definitely be thrown out by him.
Thinking of this, Yao Bao'er looked at Ye Cangtian and said fiercely, "Smelly boss, you got me! You'd better not ask me for favors in the future, or you'll regret it, hmph..."
As she spoke, Yao Bao'er drew her weapon and reluctantly charged forward.
