Ye Zhenghao originally intended to reclaim Misty Rain Tower, but as he fled into the surrounding mountain forest just outside its perimeter, he discovered a teleportation gate.
At that very moment, powerful figures from Flying Cloud Pavilion had already caught up to him. With no other choice, he had to take a gamble and plunged into the teleportation gate.
Having gone through the Mustard Seed Space, he assumed the area beyond the teleportation gate would be filled with powerful demons.
Therefore, his objective was simple: even if he were to die, he would drag Flying Cloud Pavilion down with him!
However, he never expected that this single teleportation would bring him directly before Ye Cangtian...
Listening to Ye Zhenghao's account, Ye Cangtian's mouth twitched. He then looked at Lan Yue beside him with a puzzled gaze.
Seeing this, Lan Yue immediately understood Ye Cangtian's intent. He was essentially asking why the teleportation gate from the Hidden Organization to Misty Rain Tower had not been closed.
The next moment, Lan Yue provided an explanation.
Given the current special circumstances, Flying Cloud Pavilion was highly likely to launch an attack.
As allies, Lan Yue naturally had to inform Qingyan about the teleportation gate and keep it constantly active.
This way, both sides could exchange information and provide mutual support at any time.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded slowly and said, "Senior Sister, you did the right thing."
With that, Ye Cangtian turned to Ye Zhenghao and asked, "How many people from Flying Cloud Pavilion are at Misty Rain Tower?"
Ye Zhenghao quickly replied, "At least two brigades, over a thousand people. These are not just from Flying Cloud Pavilion; there are also some from weaker factions. However, their leaders are Heavenly-tier experts from Flying Cloud Pavilion..."
Over a thousand people? And a mixed force.
Ye Cangtian frowned. It appeared Flying Cloud Pavilion intended to eliminate Misty Rain Tower first, and Ye Zhenghao and his companions stumbled upon them.
Thus, they had to silence the witnesses to prevent their actions from being discovered by Misty Rain Tower.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian glanced at Lan Yue and said, "Sister Lan Yue, summon the Death God Squad and deploy another Hidden Organization guard team!"
If he hadn't known about this, it would have been one thing.
Now that he knew Flying Cloud Pavilion's target was Misty Rain Tower, and to prevent heavy losses for Misty Rain Tower, Ye Cangtian decided to send troops to support them.
Upon hearing this, Lan Yue stepped forward immediately and said, "Junior Brother, the Death God Squad has all taken Bao'er's elixirs and are currently absorbing their effects. Even Bai Zhenshan and Jian Wusheng are in the same state..."
Deploying Hidden Organization guards was not an issue, but mobilizing these mid to high-level combatants would be somewhat troublesome.
After all, if they were disturbed, it would prevent them from achieving the optimal effect, thus wasting the elixirs.
However, although these individuals were difficult to mobilize, it did not mean there was no solution.
If high-end combat power was truly needed, Lan Yue and Elder Long could act directly.
Hearing Lan Yue's suggestion, Ye Cangtian remained silent for a moment before saying, "Then please invite Senior Haotian, and deploy a guard team."
After all, with over a thousand enemy soldiers and Heavenly-tier experts leading them, it was difficult for Ye Cangtian to eliminate them all alone.
Therefore, for the sake of caution, he had to make some arrangements.
"Alright!"
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Lan Yue immediately responded and quickly passed down the instructions.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian took out an elixir from his person and tossed it over, saying, "Zhenghao, go to Qingfeng Hall to recover from your injuries!"
Mm.
Ye Zhenghao responded with a simple acknowledgement and headed directly towards Qingfeng Hall without further ado.
He trusted that Ye Cangtian could handle the remaining matters.
...m..oΓg
In the mountain forest surrounding Misty Rain Tower.
An elder, accompanied by several middle-aged men, looked at the distant teleportation gate with furrowed brows.
According to those who had survived after entering the Mustard Seed Space, the area behind the teleportation gate was likely another Mustard Seed Space.
Since it was a Mustard Seed Space, it would undoubtedly be filled with countless treasures, but also immense dangers.
Therefore, the group found themselves unable to make a decision on whether to enter the teleportation gate.
"Third Enshrined One, I believe that since the opportunity has presented itself, we should go in and take a look. If we can obtain any treasures, we will have a greater chance of taking down Misty Rain Tower!" Hun Shi Yi said.
"I object. Mustard Seed Spaces are extremely perilous. The previous Third Pavilion Master and Hun Yi both perished within. Even with so many of us, we might not be able to come out alive! If that happens, who will complete the mission?" Hun Shi Er said.
Hearing this, Hun Shi Yi quickly argued, "But according to the descriptions, Mustard Seed Spaces are mobile. If we miss this opportunity, it will be incredibly difficult to find one again in the future..."
"All of you, shut up!"
The elder roared, directly silencing the two arguing.
He remained silent for a moment, then finally looked at Hun Shi Yi and said, "Shi Yi, you're not the main contingent to enter, are you? I'll lead the people to eliminate Misty Rain Tower first. In that way, we won't hinder each other."
This...
Upon hearing this, Hun Shi Yi's expression changed.
The next moment, he quickly said, "Third Enshrined One, the demons in the Mustard Seed Space are powerful. With my current strength, how can I possibly contend with all of them?"
"If that's the case, then we should abide by the Pavilion Master's orders!"
The Third Enshrined One glanced at him and continued, "Leave two people to guard the teleportation gate. It won't be too late to enter it after we've dealt with Misty Rain Tower..."
The Third Enshrined One knew the Pavilion Master's temper quite well. If he failed and affected the Pavilion Master's grand plan, even if he discovered the Mustard Seed Space, the Pavilion Master would not let him off the hook.
Therefore, he had no choice but to abandon the Mustard Seed Space.
Hearing this, even though Hun Shi Yi was unwilling, he had no choice but to comply with the Third Enshrined One's instructions.
After all, if he were to lead a team into the Mustard Seed Space alone, the odds of survival would be extremely slim.
Thus, everyone's opinions finally unified, and the Third Enshrined One then led the Flying Cloud Pavilion members into the mountain forest.
Hum...
After an unknown amount of time, the teleportation gate emitted a humming sound.
Two Flying Cloud Pavilion disciples were still wondering about it when they turned around to see several figures appearing from within the teleportation gate.
When they saw Ye Cangtian emerge, they were utterly stunned.
No matter how hard they tried to imagine, they could never have conceived of Ye Cangtian coming out of the teleportation gate!
Even less could they have imagined that Ye Cangtian was not alone; there were also some old timers from the Hidden Organization, as well as a whole contingent of Hidden Organization guards.
"Damn it, is the area behind the teleportation gate a Mustard Seed Space, or the Hidden Organization's stronghold!"
One guard, unable to bear the pressure, roared in anger.
Ye Cangtian looked at the guard and smiled slightly, saying, "Little bug, you have a vivid imagination. Congratulations, you guessed right; the area behind the teleportation gate is indeed the Hidden Organization headquarters!"
How could this be...
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's reply, the guard's eyes widened, and he stood there, completely dumbfounded.
He simply couldn't comprehend why there was a teleportation gate here, nor why it led to the Hidden Organization headquarters.
On the other side, seeing the other person remain silent, Ye Cangtian continued, "Tell me, where is your Third Enshrined One?"
"Want to know? No way! We'd rather die than tell you!"
Another guard heard this and glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian, his gaze exceptionally resolute.
He clearly understood that the Hidden Organization was an enemy, not a friend. If he answered the other party, it would be devastating to Flying Cloud Pavilion's operation.
"Heh, quite tough, but unfortunately, you've chosen the wrong person!"
Seeing the other's attitude, Ye Cangtian let out a cold snort. With a sweep of his hand, a silver light directly pierced through the other's neck.
He had no time to waste.
Subsequently, Ye Cangtian looked at another person and said, "And you? Are you willing to answer questions?"
As his voice fell, the only remaining guard regained his senses. Without a word, he turned and fled.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian sneered and said, "Do you think you can escape?"
As his voice fell, a cold gleam once again flashed across the sky, directly piercing through the other's back.
Having finished everything, Ye Cangtian signaled to Kong Kong to temporarily close the teleportation gate, lest anyone else pass through and endanger the Hidden Organization.
Then, Ye Cangtian looked at Haotian and Lan Yue beside him and said calmly, "It seems they have already begun their actions. We need to hurry."
Haotian and Lan Yue nodded upon hearing this, and then followed Ye Cangtian towards the direction of Misty Rain Tower.
However, when they arrived at Misty Rain Tower, they could hardly believe what they saw. It was a complete slaughterhouse.
From the city gate to the streets and alleys, there were corpses everywhere. The vast majority were disciples wearing Misty Rain Tower attire, with only a very small portion of civilians.
This made it difficult for Ye Cangtian and his group to accept.
After all, Misty Rain Tower and Flying Cloud Pavilion were both peak powers. Then why did they not have any ability to resist?
Even though Flying Cloud Pavilion had only about a thousand people, a considerable number, with Misty Rain Tower's influence, they should have been able to fend them off!
Under such circumstances, how could the enemy have broken into the city...
