After giving all instructions, Ye Cangtian left the tent and went to the small woods outside the camp.
As soon as he arrived, a figure appeared before Ye Cangtian. It was Huang Weicai, the deputy leader of the Black Feather Gang.
Huang Weicai cupped his hands and bowed to Ye Cangtian, his expression filled with respect.
If Ye Cangtian hadn't sacrificed himself for the greater good, he would have already become a pile of bones. Therefore, his attitude towards Ye Cangtian was exceptionally respectful.
"Mr. Ye, what do you need from me? Please, just say it!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded and said faintly, "I heard that the current leader of the Black Feather Gang is Changsun Lingxi from the Imperial Dragon Villa?"
"Yes."
Huang Weicai answered concisely, then cast a puzzled glance.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian remained silent for a moment before saying, "I want to subdue the Black Feather Gang. Are you willing to be my person?"
This...
Upon hearing this, Huang Weicai was slightly stunned. He looked at Ye Cangtian and, seeing that he was not joking, his expression immediately changed.
Then, he was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Ye, if you ask me to do anything, I would not hesitate to go through fire and water. However, regarding the Black Feather Gang, please forgive me for being unable to obey..."
In his opinion, although Ye Cangtian had saved his life and was someone he admired, and he could fight and shed blood for Ye Cangtian.
But this was only his personal matter, and he could not betray the entire Black Feather Gang because of it.
Thinking of this, Huang Weicai looked at Ye Cangtian with some disappointment.
Someone as esteemed as Ye Cangtian should not be arranging such things!
On the other side, seeing Huang Weicai's expression, Ye Cangtian said faintly, "Huang Weicai, do you truly understand the Black Feather Gang?"
Hmm?
Huang Weicai was slightly startled and then looked at Ye Cangtian with confusion, saying, "Mr. Ye, what exactly do you want to say? Please be clear!"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian did not hide anything and said, "The first leader of the Black Feather Gang, Black Feather, was a subordinate of Chen Yi, a traitor of my Hidden Group.
To put it plainly, it was established through Chen Yi's expenditure of countless resources from the Hidden Group."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian looked at the other person and continued, "Since it was the Hidden Group's resources that were consumed, it should be within reason for me to reclaim the Black Feather Gang..."
This...
Upon hearing this, Huang Weicai was stunned. Although he was the deputy leader, he had never heard of such a thing.
However, one thing he was clear about was that the gang leader, Black Feather, had a strong hostility towards the Hidden Group and had even sent people to infiltrate it before!
So, thinking about it, what the other person said was not impossible.
The next moment, he said, "Mr. Ye, even if what you said is true, it only proves that the Black Feather Gang is an enemy and not a friend to the Hidden Group. In this case, it would probably be inappropriate to try to subdue the Black Feather Gang, right?"
After a pause, Huang Weicai continued, "Besides, the leader of the Black Feather Gang is missing. The new leader is Changsun Lingxi from the Imperial Dragon Villa. This has even less to do with the Hidden Group..."
After all, no one wanted their own force to be annexed, and Huang Weicai was no exception. He sincerely did not want such a thing to happen.
Therefore, he directly brought up the Imperial Dragon Villa, hoping that Ye Cangtian would dismiss the idea.
Heh heh.
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Ye Cangtian's face. He then took out a mask from his Qiankun bag and waved it in front of the other person.
This...
Looking at the mask in Ye Cangtian's hand, Huang Weicai was instantly stunned.
Because the mask the other person was holding was the same mask worn by Death God before. He would never mistake it!
"Could it be that you killed Death God?"
Huang Weicai asked in shock. Both the other person and Death God were Heavenly level experts. Coupled with Yuan Hao and Hong Liu now following Ye Cangtian.
Then, he conjured a possibility in his mind: Ye Cangtian bribed Yuan Hao and Hong Liu, then killed Death God, and was preparing to annex the Imperial Dragon Villa!
"Heh heh, I admire your imagination!"
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, then put on the mask and continued, "Do you understand now?"
This...
Hearing the other person speak with Death God's voice, and with his eyes and aura changing drastically after putting on the mask, becoming indistinguishable from Death God, Huang Weicai's eyes widened.
"You... you... you are Death God?" Huang Weicai stammered in surprise, as if he had discovered a new continent.
Ye Cangtian nodded with a smile and said, "Changsun Lingxi is from my Imperial Dragon Villa after all. Now that I'm taking over the Black Feather Gang, are you willing to come and help me?"
Huang Weicai was stunned again, still finding it difficult to accept such a fact.
After a long silence, he spoke again, "Mr. Ye, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the current Black Feather Gang is in a heated battle with the Flying Cloud Pavilion. It might be difficult for you to subdue it..."
Huang Weicai's meaning was simple: if Ye Cangtian took any action against the Black Feather Gang, the Flying Cloud Pavilion would definitely not stand idly by.
And given the strength of the Hidden Group, he didn't believe they could defeat the Flying Cloud Pavilion.
Therefore, defecting to Ye Cangtian was not a wise choice.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian frowned and said, "You saw everything the Flying Cloud Pavilion did in the operation. Are you still going to assist the evildoer?
Aren't you afraid of being criticized by the world? Moreover, you should know that those who lose the Tao have few helpers. How long do you think the Flying Cloud Pavilion can last?"
From Huang Weicai's angry gaze when Qingyan was tortured by Emperor Canglan before, Ye Cangtian knew that the other party's conscience was not entirely lost.
It was also for this reason that Ye Cangtian dared to take out the mask, reveal his identity, and try to win him over.
Hearing this, Huang Weicai fell silent. He did not want to cooperate with the Flying Cloud Pavilion, but there was no other way. He could not control such matters.
Moreover, it had already become a fact, and he could not change it.
After a long time, he looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Even if I agree to cooperate with you, I don't have much real power in the Black Feather Gang, so I can't help you much!"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled. The other party had begun to waver.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian said, "You don't need to do anything else. Leave the other matters to me.
You only need to provide me with some intelligence, and after I deal with Changsun Lingxi and Dark Wing, bring your people to surrender to the Hidden Group..."
Hearing this, Huang Weicai's expression changed. If it weren't for Changsun Lingxi and Dark Wing, then he might consider it.
Thinking this, he said, "Alright, I can agree to you, but I hope you won't harm innocent disciples..."
"Your worries are unnecessary. I am not a bloodthirsty person!"
Ye Cangtian directly interrupted him and continued, "I will give you a set of codes for our contact. Also, you must keep my identity a secret!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian took out a set of codes and handed it over.
Huang Weicai took the codes, nodded, and then turned to leave the woods.
...
A thousand miles away, at the Flying Cloud Pavilion.
The Pavilion Master stood on the rooftop, a faint smile on his face.
According to the news, the team for the Grand Gathering had found the Mustard Seed Space, and currently, except for a very small number of people left to relay messages, the rest had entered it.
And the Mustard Seed Space was inherently mysterious, and it was bound to be full of dangers. As various forces entered it, they would surely suffer heavy losses.
In this way, it was both a crisis and an opportunity for each force.
After all, all forces would suffer heavy losses, and the Flying Cloud Pavilion, with its sufficient foundation, could absorb many forces.
Therefore, he was already planning how to proceed.
"Report! News has arrived from Misty Rain Tower..."
Hmm?
Upon hearing the voice, the Pavilion Master's expression instantly changed. What did it mean for Misty Rain Tower to send a letter?
Did they have the same idea as him, wanting to act against other forces?
Therefore, they sent someone to cooperate and clearly divide the spoils?
Thinking this, the Pavilion Master looked at the reporting disciple and said, "Speak, what did Misty Rain Tower say?"
The disciple dared not hesitate and quickly replied, "All disciples of Misty Rain Tower who participated in the Grand Gathering have perished within the Mustard Seed Space. They have come to notify us to participate in the auction and trading conference one month later!"
What!
The Pavilion Master's eyes widened. He could imagine the dangers of the Mustard Seed Space, but annihilation of the Flying Cloud Pavilion was going too far!
After all, this time the Flying Cloud Pavilion was led by two Heavenly level experts, and the participants of the Grand Gathering were all elites. How could such a formation be wiped out?
Thinking this, the Pavilion Master looked at the disciple and questioned, "What are the situations of other forces? And why not a single person from the Flying Cloud Pavilion was able to be accounted for? What exactly happened..."
"I don't know. The disciples of Misty Rain Tower did not mention these things," the disciple quickly replied.
"Then investigate for me!"
The Pavilion Master roared. In his opinion, the annihilation of the Flying Cloud Pavilion was not simple. There must be some hidden secret, so he had to investigate clearly.
