Following the spirit of the contract, Ye Cangtian finally sensed Kong Kong's spiritual power fluctuations.
Although it was only a trace of spiritual power, and not strong, it had basically locked onto Kong Kong's location.
Judging by the direction, Kong Kong should be drifting in the sea. This was likely due to a problem with the Hidden Group's map.
On the other side, having established contact with Ye Cangtian, Kong Kong quickly broke through space and returned to Ye Cangtian's side.
"Boss, I finally see you..."
Upon seeing Ye Cangtian, Kong Kong was exceptionally excited. It landed on Ye Cangtian's shoulder and affectionately nuzzled his neck.
Ye Cangtian quickly made inquiries.
As he had suspected, the Hidden Group's map had a deviation.
Kong Kong had been in the sea for several days, but due to the vastness of the ocean, it couldn't distinguish east from west. Furthermore, its spiritual power was not very strong.
Therefore, it had been unable to contact Ye Cangtian until now.
After a brief exchange, Ye Cangtian left the room.
The next moment, he appeared in Wei Gu's room in the Soldier Armor Building.
Seeing Ye Cangtian arrive, Wei Gu quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Ye, everyone has been assembled and is ready to transfer at any time."
"En."
Ye Cangtian nodded, his expression turning serious. He said, "Island Master, there's something I want to ask you. Please forgive me if it's disrespectful!"
"Mr. Ye, you are too kind. Without you, who knows what Crimson Cloud Island would be like now!"
Wei Gu looked at Ye Cangtian, then gestured for him to continue, "Please, ask whatever you wish."
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian did not hesitate and spoke directly, "I want to ask you, are the people of Crimson Cloud Island one hundred percent trustworthy?"
"One hundred percent trustworthy."
Upon hearing this, Wei Gu's expression changed slightly, but he answered without hesitation.
The Soldier Armor Building had withstood several strong enemy attacks and migrations. Those who remained were undoubtedly loyal elites.
As for the traitors or those with wavering will, they had long since fled the Soldier Armor Building during those numerous battles and migrations.
Otherwise, the Soldier Armor Building would not have so few people remaining now...
Seeing the resolute look in Wei Gu's eyes, Ye Cangtian nodded in understanding.
"Since the Island Master trusts everyone else so much, I also choose to trust you. I hope you will convey to everyone that no matter what they see afterwards, they must not divulge a single word to the outside!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Wei Gu nodded heavily and said, "Alright, I will handle this. If anyone leaks it, I will surely give you an explanation, Mr. Ye."
"Good!"
Ye Cangtian responded with a single word, then said, "You can notify everyone now to gather here. We will begin the transfer immediately..."
"Gather here?"
Wei Gu was momentarily stunned and quickly asked, "Mr. Ye, if we are to transfer, shouldn't we go by sea?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Wei Gu and smiled, "No need to ask too much. Just gather everyone here."
Ye Cangtian had decided to use the teleportation gate to help Crimson Cloud Island transfer, which would save a lot of time.
After all, the Flying Cloud Pavilion had already begun its actions, and he had to return to the Hidden Group to take charge as soon as possible.
Hearing this, Wei Gu, despite his many questions, did not voice them. He responded with an "En" and turned to leave.
After Wei Gu left, Ye Cangtian was brief. He called out Kong Kong and said, "It shouldn't be difficult to change the teleportation gate to this location, right?"
Kong Kong nodded anthropomorphically upon hearing this and said, "No problem at all. It can be changed at any time..."
Kong Kong stated that the void channel had been opened, and it only needed to be connected to this location. The distance was not too long, and it would take about one to two minutes to complete.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian said, "Set up a teleportation gate here. Also, where is the teleportation gate for the Hidden Group set up?"
"Qingfeng Hall!"
Kong Kong answered without hesitation. To prevent Ye Cangtian's whereabouts from being discovered, Lan Yue had conveniently set up the teleportation gate in Qingfeng Hall.
It was a decent location, but with so many people teleporting, it was not suitable to emerge from Qingfeng Hall, as it would surely cause quite a stir.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian said, "Kong Kong, the teleportation gate for the Hidden Group needs to be changed this time. For now, set it up in the forests outside Longcheng, in a secluded spot."
"Understood. Boss, any other requests?"
Kong Kong responded, and seeing Ye Cangtian shake his head, it said, "Give me two minutes, and I'll sort it out."
While Kong Kong was modifying the void channel, on the other side, under Wei Gu's notification, the disciples of Crimson Cloud Island were constantly surging towards the pavilion.
After an unknown amount of time, the area outside the pavilion was packed to the brim. Wei Gu's figure appeared before Ye Cangtian once again.
"Mr. Ye, everyone has gathered," Wei Gu said.
Ye Cangtian nodded in understanding, then used his spiritual power to communicate with Kong Kong. A teleportation gate instantly appeared before them.
"This... is this the legendary teleportation gate?"
Wei Gu's eyes widened. He had heard Wei Xiaofeng mention teleportation gates before, but this was the first time he was seeing one with his own eyes.
Ye Cangtian smiled and nodded, then said, "The other side of the teleportation gate is the mountain forest outside Longcheng. You can inform the people of Crimson Cloud Island to begin transferring.
Also, tell them not to make any noise when they reach Longcheng!"
Hearing this, Wei Gu nodded heavily. He now understood the true reason behind Ye Cangtian's earlier questions.
The ability to establish a teleportation gate was incredibly powerful in the ruins.
Especially in warfare, it was akin to an army descending from the heavens, its effect far exceeding imagination.
A short while later, Wei Gu opened the pavilion doors, and the people of Crimson Cloud Island orderly entered the teleportation gate.
"This... this is too magical..."
On the other side of the teleportation gate, in the mountain forest outside Longcheng, as batches of people from Crimson Cloud Island teleported over, they were all amazed by this and couldn't help but express their awe.
Even Wei Xiaofeng, who had used teleportation gates before, couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder.
Such a miraculous existence as a teleportation gate should only exist in ancient times, but he never expected Ye Cangtian to achieve it.
Before long, all the people of Crimson Cloud Island had teleported over. Ye Cangtian, without any further ado, led them towards Longcheng.
Night.
A carriage and five or six young people were chatting and laughing beneath the city gate.
They were none other than Lan Yue and the Death Squad.
Kong Kong had been ordered to inform Lan Yue of Ye Cangtian's impending return with Crimson Cloud Island, so they had specifically come to wait for them.
As they saw figures appearing in the distance, they immediately went to meet them without a word.
"Senior Sister, you all came? You don't need to come out of the city to greet us, we're not outsiders."
Seeing Lan Yue and the others slowly approaching, Ye Cangtian wore a helpless smile.
Hearing this, Lan Yue gave Ye Cangtian a sidelong glance and said rather irritably, "Who said we came to greet you? We came to greet Senior Wei Gu."
This was not untrue. Wei Gu was, after all, the Island Master of Crimson Cloud Island, and Lan Yue wanted to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with him.
She hoped that after the war, Wei Gu would willingly remain in the Hidden Group, which would be of immense benefit to the Hidden Group in the future.
On the other side, upon hearing Lan Yue's words, Ye Cangtian felt a bit awkward. However, he quickly understood Lan Yue's intentions and hastily made introductions.
The next moment, seeing Lan Yue and Wei Gu walking and talking, Ye Cangtian did not interrupt. He went to the side of the Death Squad alone.
"There are so many disciples from Crimson Cloud Island. Where did Sister Lan Yue arrange for them?" Ye Cangtian inquired.
Rose snorted coldly and said, "You still have the nerve to ask. Do you think it's easy to arrange for over 2,000 people? And with such a tight schedule, do you think Sister Lan Yue is a superhuman!"
"Uh..."
Ye Cangtian scratched his head awkwardly. "You can't entirely blame me. I only just contacted Kong Kong, and I've already spent enough time at Crimson Cloud Island..."
"Enough!"
Rose held up a hand to interrupt Ye Cangtian and said irritably, "You should tell Sister Rose about these things!"
Despite her displeasure with Ye Cangtian, Rose still provided an answer.
It was not difficult for Longcheng to accommodate over 2,000 people, but it was not easy to arrange for all of them to be housed together.
Lan Yue, thinking on her feet, directly cleared out a military barracks within the city to temporarily house the people of Crimson Cloud Island.
Meanwhile, she was using this time to plan a residential area for Crimson Cloud Island...
