Wan Mingxuan's eyes clearly showed resentment.
If Yi Feipeng had appeared earlier, he wouldn't have been forced to kill the mountain leopard, nor would he have watched the giant bear's arm severed and endured the other party's humiliation.
Sensing Wan Mingxuan's gaze, Yi Feipeng sighed and said, "The Tower Master instructed that this time, it would primarily be for your experience. As long as it wasn't a matter of life and death, I wouldn't appear..."
In fact, the reason he appeared was because the giant bear's loyal subordinates had touched him.
If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have shown himself even if Wan Mingxuan's cultivation had been crippled.
After all, everything that happened in Dragon City, in his opinion, could be described with one word: self-inflicted.
Besides that, he had no good feelings towards this junior nephew.
On the other side, upon hearing this, Wan Mingxuan was speechless.
He tried his best to maintain his composure, and after a long silence, he finally spoke, "Uncle-Master, Mingxuan has another matter. How do you plan to report this incident to the Tower Master?"
Report?
Yi Feipeng fell silent. Reporting such matters was not something he should be asked about; Wan Mingxuan should have reported truthfully.
But now that the other party was asking like this, it was clear he didn't want to report truthfully but was afraid of being exposed, so he deliberately inquired.
It made sense. Entrusting such a significant mission to Wan Mingxuan indicated the Tower Master's trust in him.
Now, not only had the mission failed, but he had also been utterly humiliated. Naturally, the other party would not want to report truthfully.
With this thought, Yi Feipeng retorted, "Mingxuan, tell me your thoughts first!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Mingxuan did not hide anything and spoke directly, "The Hidden Organization has inflicted great humiliation upon us. I want revenge. I will personally lead the army to destroy the Hidden Organization and make Ye Cangtian kowtow and apologize!"
Hiss...
Upon hearing this, Yi Feipeng couldn't help but secretly gasp. Looking at the resentful expression on his face, these words did not sound like a joke.
Thinking about it, he quickly said sternly, "Do you know how much the Swift Wind Tower will lose if a war breaks out?"
"Hmph, what do I care about the losses! If the Hidden Organization isn't destroyed, my hatred won't be appeased!"
Wan Mingxuan said fiercely.
At this moment, he was blinded by hatred. For the sake of revenge, he would spare no effort.
"Foolish!"
Yi Feipeng suddenly shouted coldly and continued, "Don't think the Hidden Organization is weak. If a war truly breaks out with them, it will definitely be like injuring a thousand enemy troops while losing eight hundred of our own!"
Although the Hidden Organization lacked core strength, it controlled the entire ruins and was not to be underestimated.
It was not an exaggeration to call the Hidden Organization the sixth major power in the ruins.
If a war broke out with such a force, even if the Hidden Organization was destroyed, the Swift Wind Tower would likely be pulled down from its pedestal, and its glory as a peak force would never return.
Moreover, a mere rising star could easily defeat him. If they were to fight to the death, even the Tower Master might risk falling.
And all of this was for Wan Mingxuan's personal vendetta, which he felt was not worth it.
"Uncle-Master, the Hidden Organization doesn't have the ability to pull us down from our pedestal!"
"Don't forget, we are a peak force. As long as we call out, countless people will willingly help us deal with the Hidden Organization..."
Wan Mingxuan quickly spoke, but before he could finish, Yi Feipeng interrupted him.
"Shut up. We will report this matter truthfully and put away your little schemes!"
Yi Feipeng reprimanded him fiercely.
After all, did only the Swift Wind Tower have supporters? Didn't the Hidden Organization?
They had managed the Huaxia Ruins for so long and were supported by various forces. If a war broke out, many forces would surely come to their aid.
If that were the case, the entire ruins would erupt in an unprecedented war, and how many innocent people would be implicated?
And at that time, the Swift Wind Tower would be the sinner of the entire ruins!
Old man! You're very good. You're actually siding with outsiders...
Hearing Yi Feipeng's voice, Wan Mingxuan's face instantly turned red, and he cursed angrily in his heart.
But he did not show any of it.
After all, the other party was the Second Tower Master and a Heavenly-tier expert, so he could not easily offend him. He merely planted a seed of hatred in his heart.
...
Dragon City Hidden Organization Headquarters.
After the people from the Swift Wind Tower left, the entire Dragon City fell silent.
Sikong Longyin left the Hidden Organization and stationed himself in a corner of Dragon City, like a fisherman casting his line, waiting for the next person who would voluntarily take the bait.
The Death Squad also returned to the Great River and continued their cultivation under Elder Long.
After several days of peace, Ye Cangtian finally decided on something and went to Dongfang Mingyue's office.
"Stinky brother, you're here? What do you need sister for?"
Dongfang Mingyue looked up at Ye Cangtian, greeted him, and then continued to look at the documents in her hand.
"It's nothing, I just feel that Sister Mingyue has been working too hard lately and wanted to share some of your burden."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, poured himself a cup of water, and then sat on the sofa beside him.
"Heh heh, you're this kind?"
Dongfang Mingyue put down the documents in her hand and looked at him.
This was the first time Ye Cangtian had actively brought this up!
Had Ye Cangtian changed his ways? He had never been interested in managing the Hidden Organization before...
"Alas!"
Ye Cangtian sighed helplessly and said, "I promised that after I finished this busy period, I would give you a vacation. But it seems you don't cherish it, so I'll just take back my words!"
"However, Sister Mingyue, don't say that I don't keep my word in the future!"
"Wait!"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Mingyue immediately jumped up. She had longed for a vacation for a long time but had never had the chance due to her busy schedule.
Now that she heard about such good news, how could she let it pass?
She directly came to Ye Cangtian and said, "Stinky brother, you can't make fun of sister with this kind of thing. Sister is serious!"
As she spoke, Dongfang Mingyue had already begun to plan where she would go for a vacation...
"Alright, but do you remember our agreement?"
Uh...
Just then, Ye Cangtian's voice came, and Dongfang Mingyue was instantly stunned. The scenes of beaches and bikinis in her mind instantly disappeared.
She suddenly remembered that she had indeed promised Ye Cangtian that if she had a chance to take a vacation, she would let him choose the destination.
So, she looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Stinky brother, sister has never treated you badly, right? You have to arrange a good place for sister. Sister rarely gets a vacation to relax..."
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Ye Cangtian said with a mischievous smile and continued, "I think Ghost City in the Dark Ruins is a good place. The journey there will surely be a feast for your eyes..."
Before he could finish, Ye Cangtian felt a sharp pain in his ear, and Dongfang Mingyue's pretty face became extremely angry.
"Stinky brother, you're deliberately messing with me, aren't you!"
"What good scenery is there in the Dark Ruins? Besides graves and tombs, everything looks gloomy, and there is no day there, only twilight..."
"You want me to go there and play with ghosts!"
Dongfang Mingyue roared in exasperation.
Although she had never been to the Dark Ruins, she had heard of it.
After all, which woman would like to go to such a broken place!
Cough cough.
Ye Cangtian gave an embarrassed cough and quickly said, "Sister Mingyue, you listen to my explanation."
"Hmph! If you don't explain clearly today, you can forget about this ear of yours!" Dongfang Mingyue snorted angrily, not letting go.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian had no choice but to say helplessly, "Alright, I'll tell you!"
The next moment, Ye Cangtian gave his explanation.
Firstly, Dongfang Mingyue and Dongfang Hongwu, father and daughter, had not seen each other for a long time, and they must have missed each other. Therefore, he had specifically arranged for Dongfang Mingyue to go and reunite with her father.
Secondly, Dongfang Mingyue's cultivation was not weak, but it was still lacking. She could take this opportunity to get some guidance from Dongfang Hongwu.
And finally, the most important purpose was to borrow troops from the Dark Association.
Although he now had the support of the Imperial Dragon Villa, which had eased the pressure on the Hidden Organization, other peak forces would not easily give up.
Therefore, to avoid the outbreak of war, he could only make some arrangements in advance.
At that time, it would be best if no war broke out. If a war did break out, the Hidden Organization would have sufficient trump cards to deal with it.
"This..."
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's arrangement, Dongfang Mingyue quietly released her hand.
This series of arrangements by the other party was either for her or for the good of the Hidden Organization, so she really had no reason to be angry.
Thinking about it, she looked at Ye Cangtian and said shamefully, "I'm sorry, stinky brother. It was sister who misunderstood you..."
