The quiet mountain forest surrounding Yan Yu Tower, a portal materialized out of thin air.
Ye Cangtian and Lan Yue emerged from the portal.
The two surveyed their surroundings, and Ye Cangtian froze. As far as his eyes could see, there was nothing but mountain forest; the city of Yan Yu Tower was nowhere to be found.
In the next moment, Ye Cangtian yanked Kong Kong out, saying irritably, "Kong Kong, what's going on? I told you to build a portal to Yan Yu Tower, and now where are we?"
"This has nothing to do with me. I clearly targeted the center of Yan Yu Tower."
"If we can't see Yan Yu Tower now, it just means the map you provided has issues."
"But don't worry, even if the map has issues, the difference should only be a kilometer or two, so it shouldn't be far from Yan Yu Tower!"
Kong Kong argued for a bit, then flapped its wings and flew into the air.
A short while later, Kong Kong returned to Ye Cangtian and the other person, saying, "There's a small city to the south. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Yan Yu Tower you're talking about..."
Sigh!
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian sighed. With no other options, he could only head towards that city to take a look.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian instructed Kong Kong to temporarily seal the portal.
After all, on the other side of the portal was Qing Feng Hall. If someone accidentally stumbled through, it could cause trouble for the Hidden Organization.
...
Hidden Organization Inn in Yan Yu Tower.
The members of the Grim Reaper Squad were all cultivating in their respective rooms. With two days left before the auction and trade fair began, they were taking advantage of their free time to improve their strength.
*Bang!*
With a loud crash, the door to the main hall toppled over, and a figure was unceremoniously kicked inside.
It was the inn's waiter.
The next moment, Rose and the others were instantly jolted from their cultivation and flashed into the main hall.
In an instant, Rose and the others' expressions turned icy, for standing before them was a familiar face.
It was none other than Hong Liu, who had come to Yan Yu Tower with them and then returned to Yu Long Manor.
Hong Liu was accompanied by several disciples from Yu Long Manor. Besides these people from Yu Long Manor, there were also some disciples from Tian Yuan Sect and Huang Shan.
In total, there were at least thirty people.
Judging from their auras, these individuals were at least at the late-stage Earth level, with several already reaching the quasi-Heaven level.
Rose looked at everything before her, her brows deeply furrowed.
The people before them had blood-red eyes and appeared somewhat dazed, with only Hong Liu's eyes showing a flicker of intelligence.
It was clear that the others had fallen victim to Fei Yun Pavilion's Soul Seizing technique, but Rose found it difficult to assess Hong Liu's condition.
After a moment of hesitation, Rose spoke, "Hong Liu, what's wrong with you? Why are you with them? Have you also been controlled by Fei Yun Pavilion?"
"What are you talking about?"
"How could I possibly be controlled by Fei Yun Pavilion? I am Hong Liu of Yu Long Manor."
Hong Liu's gaze fell upon Rose, and he spoke with a cold sneer.
"No!"
As the voice fell, Yao Baoer, standing nearby, seemed to have discovered something and came to Rose's side.
"Sister Rose, Hong Liu's mental power is much stronger than before. This is very abnormal!"
Rose nodded slowly upon hearing this. Even if Hong Liu had cultivated some mental power technique, it would be difficult to hide it from Ye Cangtian's eyes.
And for his mental power to suddenly increase so much, there must be something wrong.
With this thought, Rose said coldly, "Hong Liu, Baoer is right. Your mental power couldn't have increased that quickly. What exactly is wrong with you?"
Damn it, these women are too sharp-witted!
In a restaurant near the Hidden Organization Inn, Hun Si, leaning by the window, muttered fiercely to himself.
It was indeed him controlling Hong Liu, but since this was Fei Yun Pavilion's territory, he had discussed it with Hun San and decided not to appear in the identity of Fei Yun Pavilion.
However, he hadn't expected Yao Baoer and Rose to be so astute.
"Rose, you're overthinking it. I just took some pills to enhance my mental power!"
In the main hall, Hong Liu looked at Rose and continued, "Enough with the pleasantries. Let's get started!"
Wait!
Rose immediately raised her hand and then asked, "One last question, why did you betray Yu Long Manor?"
"It's not that I betrayed Yu Long Manor, but that you are not worthy of cooperating with Yu Long Manor."
"In the eyes of Yu Long Manor, you are nothing more than a bunch of ants..."
Hong Liu's voice came, and a cold smile appeared on Rose's face.
She had already concluded that Hong Liu was definitely being controlled, otherwise, Hong Liu would never have said such words.
After all, Hong Liu knew Ye Cangtian's true identity. Ye Cangtian was the Grim Reaper of Yu Long Manor, so how could he possibly disdain the Hidden Organization?
With this thought, Rose said coldly, "Grim Reaper Squad, obey the order, no killing, attack!"
Following Rose's command, the members of the Grim Reaper Squad charged forward and engaged the opposing group.
The main hall was instantly filled with screams.
Meanwhile, Rose's gaze remained locked on Hong Liu.
However, Hong Liu did not confront Rose directly. Instead, he moved quickly, using his mental power to continuously attack the other members of the Grim Reaper Squad.
Hun Si knew very well that Rose was powerful and possessed considerable mental strength.
Even with the Soul Fusion technique he employed on Hong Liu, which slightly boosted his combat power, he might not be Rose's match.
Under Hun Ba's mental attacks, coupled with the Grim Reaper Squad's inability to kill, the current situation was extremely disadvantageous for the Grim Reaper Squad.
However, fortunately, their strength was not weak, and they could barely block the opponent's attacks.
On the streets of Yan Yu Tower.
Two figures walked slowly, they were Ye Cangtian and Lan Yue.
It was their first time in Yan Yu Tower, and after such a long time, Lan Yue seemed quite excited to finally relax.
Hmm?
After a short while, Ye Cangtian stopped, and Lan Yue immediately followed suit.
She looked at Ye Cangtian doubtfully and asked, "Junior brother, what's wrong?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Lan Yue and said calmly, "If we go any further, we'll reach the Hidden Organization's inn, but there are many auras around."
These auras had finally caught Ye Cangtian's attention. After all, Yan Yu Tower would not dispatch so many people to monitor the Hidden Organization.
"Let's split up and take a look!"
Lan Yue said quickly upon hearing this.
Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "Alright, let's split up. If you encounter anyone, don't kill them immediately. Bring them back to the inn first."
After all, this was the territory of Yan Yu Tower. If they caused any trouble here, it would be difficult to explain to Yan Yu Tower.
Lan Yue responded and then her figure disappeared into the darkness.
Fei Yun Pavilion people?
Not long after parting ways with Lan Yue, Ye Cangtian saw a figure. Seeing the Fei Yun Pavilion attire on the person, his expression instantly turned grim.
Fei Yun Pavilion had dispatched over thirty people. Needless to say, they must have taken action against the Hidden Organization.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian flashed behind the person and then reached out with his large hand.
Hiss!
Sensing someone approaching, the Fei Yun Pavilion disciple was startled and instinctively dodged.
However, before he could move an inch, Ye Cangtian's large hand had already gripped his neck from behind.
"You little bug, why are you attacking the Hidden Organization?"
The Fei Yun Pavilion disciple was extremely panicked. He struggled to turn his head to see who it was, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't succeed.
Finally, as a powerful force transmitted, as if his cervical vertebrae were about to shatter, he finally accepted reality.
"Lord Hun Si said that he wants revenge for his brothers who died in Long Cheng, as well as for his severed arm!"
The Fei Yun Pavilion disciple revealed the entire reason.
"What a coincidence!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's face broke into a cold smile.
Hun Si had narrowly escaped before. He had thought the other party would flee back to Fei Yun Pavilion, but he hadn't expected to encounter him here.
Even more unexpectedly, Hun Si was so brazen as to seek revenge on the Hidden Organization. He was truly tired of living.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian looked at the Fei Yun Pavilion disciple before him and continued, "Tell me Hun Si's location, and I can spare your life!"
There was no other way. Although he could sense most of the auras, it was difficult for him to distinguish which one was Hun Si among so many people.
To avoid alarming the enemy, he chose to ask directly.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you. He's in the surrounding restaurants."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, the Fei Yun Pavilion disciple quickly replied, as he didn't want to die here.
However, as soon as his words fell, Ye Cangtian struck him in the back with a palm, directly crippling his cultivation.
These people who aided and abetted evil deserved to die, but could be spared a lesser sentence.
