On the other side, listening to Ye Cangtian's words, Zuo Bai understood that no matter what, they would not be part of the extermination of the Viper Hall this time.
So he said, "Mr. Ye, it's no problem to take back some detoxification pills, but I have a small request, I hope that this action will be kept confidential..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian understood the other party's intention.
The other party was worried that if the matter got out, there would be disharmonious voices within the team.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "Alright."
Seeing this, Zuo Bai no longer hesitated and turned to leave the room directly.
A short while later, when Zuo Bai returned, he had a Qiankun bag in his hand.
He walked forward directly, handed the Qiankun bag to Ye Cangtian, and said, "Mr. Ye, the 200 detoxification pills are all here."
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded gently, put away the Qiankun bag, and then said, "This time it was too hurried, I can't stay long, I'll gather with my brothers properly after I return..."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian stood up and turned to Du Gu Ling, saying, "Ling'er, go back and tell senior Du Gu that I have urgent matters to attend to, so I'll leave first. We'll meet again another day..."
Listening to Ye Cangtian's words, Zuo Bai and Du Gu Ling nodded and sent Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue out of the martial city together.
...
Twenty kilometers outside the Viper Valley, there was a sparsely populated dense forest.
After several days, the rustling sound could be heard here again...
Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue, following the secret signs left behind, kept searching for the trail of the Blazing Fire Courtyard team.
"Stinky brother, what are Yan Biao and Ye Zheng Hao thinking? Choosing this dense forest to hide? Look, we can't even ride horses here. Isn't this delaying things?"
After searching for a long time and still not seeing anyone from the Blazing Fire Courtyard, Dongfang Mingyue couldn't help but complain.
The forest here was very dense, and they had to search for the secret signs left by the other party, so they couldn't ride horses, which greatly reduced their speed.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if we're a little late, what's important is that they don't get exposed."
"Exposed my ass!"
Dongfang Mingyue glared at Ye Cangtian indignantly. They were still 20 kilometers away from the Viper Valley.
Besides, this place was rarely visited. Why would the Viper Hall have lookouts deployed here!
Ye Cangtian shrugged and smiled, "Alright, Sister Mingyue, stop complaining. I think we've found them..."
Huh?
Dongfang Mingyue looked at Ye Cangtian in confusion. Seeing Ye Cangtian point in a direction, she followed his gaze.
But she found nothing and was about to ask in confusion.
Just then, Ye Cangtian flashed away. About a hundred meters away, Ye Cangtian stopped.
At his feet, a figure suddenly stood up from the withered leaves on the ground.
This person was none other than a member of the Blazing Fire Courtyard's action team.
It was daytime, and according to the plan of moving at night and resting during the day, most people should be resting, so some people had to be left on guard.
"Mr. Ye, you're back?" the guard asked, seeing Ye Cangtian suddenly appear before him.
Ye Cangtian nodded and then said, "Take us to see Yan Biao and Ye Zheng Hao."
Hearing this, the guard didn't say anything further and quickly turned to lead the two into the depths of the dense forest.
Not long after, Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue met Yan Biao and the other. Seeing Ye Cangtian return, Yan Biao and the other were relieved.
Now, they were only 20 kilometers away from the Viper Valley. If the two of them didn't return tonight, the action team would reach the Viper Valley tomorrow.
If that were the case, the Viper Valley could discover the action team at any time, thus triggering a great battle.
Even if Ye Cangtian returned with the medicine, it would be in vain.
However, these were no longer problems.
The next moment, Yan Biao quickly walked forward and asked, "Have you retrieved the detoxification pills?"
Ye Cangtian nodded, casually took out the Qiankun bag, and threw it over, saying, "There are 200 in total, use them sparingly!"
200 pills?
Yan Biao's eyes lit up. Their team was only a hundred people, and with 200 pills, they had enough to fight without any scruples for two days.
Could the Viper Hall really be that strong, to withstand their attacks for two days?
"Thank you."
Yan Biao bowed to Ye Cangtian.
Ye Cangtian had personally gone to seek the pills to minimize casualties for this mission, and he hadn't made any demands.
Just for this act, his opinion of Ye Cangtian had changed, and he gradually developed some affection for him.
"It's my duty."
Ye Cangtian helped him up and then asked, "By the way, has there been any news from the Blazing Fire Courtyard recently?"
"Yes."
Yan Biao responded. The Blazing Fire Courtyard had indeed received news recently.
This was because the Blazing Fire Courtyard had learned that Ye Cangtian had left, and they were very puzzled by the action team's behavior of moving at night and resting during the day.
In the eyes of the Blazing Fire Courtyard's higher-ups, attacking the Viper Hall was like a dimensional strike, a swift annihilation of the Viper Hall.
There was no need to move stealthily and cautiously.
Therefore, the Blazing Fire Courtyard sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue, and the reason for their diurnal movement pattern.
As for the former, Yan Biao directly replied that he didn't know. After all, Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue were not members of the Blazing Fire Courtyard, and their cultivation was very high.
They had no obligation to inform them of their whereabouts, nor did they have the power to intercept them.
Thus, they managed to gloss over it with such reasons.
As for the second question, it was simple. They were making all preparations for a surprise attack, so that the Viper Hall would not be able to react, thus reducing casualties.
Of course, this explanation was personally given by Ye Zheng Hao to the visitor.
After all, he was the son of Ye Yao Yang, and even if his answer was not satisfactory to Ye Yao Yang, Ye Yao Yang would not punish him.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly. Things were not too bad, and all they needed to do now was to destroy the Viper Hall.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian said, "Alright, now distribute the pills."
Yan Biao nodded but did not act, instead asking, "Are we heading directly to the Viper Valley now, or should we wait until night?"
"Let's wait for night. We've been waiting for so long, one more night won't make a difference."
Ye Cangtian said after a moment of silence.
His intention was simple: it was easier to remain unseen at night, offering a chance for a surprise attack.
If handled well, it could further reduce casualties.
Hearing this, Yan Biao nodded and said no more, directly distributing the pills and making arrangements.
...
In the blink of an eye, night fell, and the team members, having rested sufficiently, embarked on their journey of conquest.
A few hours later, they had traversed the forest and reached the entrance of the Viper Valley, where they stopped.
The reason was simple: Yan Biao felt something was wrong.
He found Ye Cangtian and the others and whispered, "Something's not right! We haven't encountered any Viper Hall sentries along the way. That's not right, is it?"
Every faction would set up sentries to provide early warning, but in the Viper Valley, apart from some vipers, they had found nothing else.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "It's not that they didn't prepare sentries, but that you've already dealt with them."
Along the way, the action team encountered quite a few vipers. These vipers were very aggressive, so once encountered, they were directly killed by the team.
However, everyone thought that they had invaded the vipers' habitat, which was why they were attacked by the vipers.
Now, hearing Ye Cangtian's explanation, Yan Biao suddenly thought of something and quickly asked, "You mean those vipers are the Viper Hall's eyes and ears? But how do they transmit information?"
Yan Biao was somewhat disbelieving, as snakes and humans couldn't communicate at all.
