*Screech!*
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Xinwan floored the accelerator.
The immense inertia threw Ye Cangtian against the front seat, stabilizing his posture.
"This..."
Before Ye Cangtian could ask what was happening, Tang Xinwan's voice cut through.
On the sparsely populated road ahead, a car lay overturned. Judging by the black tire marks on the ground, it had clearly just swerved onto the road.
From this car, several burly men stumbled out.
They were all dressed in black, and their faces held no trace of anger, only sinister smiles as they approached.
It was obvious they weren't here to argue about a near-accident, but had come specifically for Tang Xinwan.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian finally believed that the Guangming Hall was indeed targeting Tang Xinwan and preparing to deal with him.
"Bastards, there are some behind us too! We're blocked, what do we do?"
Tang Xinwan reacted quickly. Seeing the situation, she instinctively reversed, wanting to escape as soon as possible.
However, a glance in the rearview mirror revealed her shock: the rear was also blocked by a van. With no other option, she could only glance at Ye Cangtian.
"Don't panic, I've got this!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian took out an eye mask and handed it over.
Tang Xinwan blinked, still confused, and then heard Ye Cangtian's words.
"My dear wife, you've worked hard these past two days. Just take a nap in the car, leave the rest to me!"
Ye Cangtian didn't want Tang Xinwan to witness the bloody scene, so he had prepared the eye mask and earphones for such an occasion.
On the other side, Tang Xinwan hesitated for a moment, then nodded. She put on the eye mask and earphones, reclined the seat, and lay down.
"Good girl, rest well. I'll be back soon."
Watching Tang Xinwan lie down, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, then glanced at the rearview mirror.
Seeing the leader, a man in red, approaching, he opened the car door and stepped out.
Behind the car.
Seeing the rear door of the car open, Sak, the leader, frowned.
Before the operation, he had specifically observed that Tang Xinwan was driving alone. How could the rear door open?
It was clear that someone was hidden inside the car!
However, when he saw the face of the man stepping out of the car, he almost screamed. The man was Tang Xinwan's fiancé, Ye Cangtian!
At that moment, Sak's heart sank to the bottom, and he cursed inwardly.
Damn it!
Didn't Ye Cangtian go to the entrance of the Huaxia ruins? Why did he return?
What were Leon and the others doing? Were they wiped out so quickly?
On the other side, after getting out of the car, Ye Cangtian walked to the back and leaned against the trunk. He looked at the grim-faced Sak and gave a mocking smile.
"Little bug, since you're here, take two steps forward!"
His voice reached Sak, who snapped back to attention. He glanced at Ye Cangtian and took two steps forward.
Then, he said sternly, "Ye Cangtian, is this all your scheme? You returned as soon as Nancy and the others were dispatched by you?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at him and smiled, "Smart!"
"Impossible, how could you return so quickly?"
"Aren't you worried about the Huaxia entrance falling?"
Hearing this, Sak became agitated.
"Heh heh, you mean Leon and the Dark Association? Coincidentally, they've all been eliminated by me!" Ye Cangtian said with a smile.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Sak grew more agitated. Leon and the others were quasi-heavenly realm experts, and they had allied with the Dark Association, with quite a few people involved.
Even a herd of wild boars couldn't be wiped out so quickly.
Seeing Sak's agitated state, Ye Cangtian smiled mockingly and said, "That's the truth. If you don't believe me, it's very simple. I can send you down so you can ask yourself!"
"You..."
Sak's face instantly turned red. It was clear that the other party intended to kill him.
And he was only at the Earthly realm cultivation. If he were to fight head-on, he would have absolutely no chance of winning.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the car behind Ye Cangtian, his face revealing a sinister expression.
No matter how strong Ye Cangtian was, he was only one person. It was impossible for him to guard Tang Xinwan in the car.
In other words, as long as Tang Xinwan fell into his hands, Ye Cangtian would be at his mercy, and at least his own life would be saved.
The next moment, Sak straightened his back and said, "Ye Cangtian, so what if you've returned? You still can't stop everything. I can give you a way out, are you willing to listen?"
"Hm?"
"Little bug, have you gone mad? You're still looking out for me at this point?"
"But I'm very curious, what is this so-called way out of yours? Tell me, I'd like to hear it!"
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but be a little taken aback. He was just a Cardinal.
In front of him, he wasn't worried about his own safety, but was still so arrogant. He truly didn't understand.
"Listen carefully, you and Tang Xinwan surrender. I guarantee not to harm you, and will take you directly back to the Guangming Hall to hand you over to the Pope."
"This way, you will at least be safe for the time being. As for what happens in the future, it will depend on the Pope's mood!"
Sak said quickly.
Heh heh!
Ye Cangtian immediately laughed. He looked at Sak with disdain and said, "You really have gone mad. Is it good for me to fall into the Pope's hands?"
He paused, then continued, "Putting that aside, what can you do to me if I refuse?"
"I can't do anything to you!"
Sak's expression changed. He continued gloomily, "But I have many ways to deal with the one in the car. I advise you to think carefully! After all, two fists are no match for four hands. Can you stop all of us?"
"Heh heh, is that all? You truly make me look down on you, and also give me a new understanding of the Guangming Hall."
"Has the Guangming Hall run out of people? How can someone with such a brain lead a team?"
Ye Cangtian showed extreme disdain. He really thought the other party had a reason to make him wary, but it turned out to be just this. It was truly disappointing.
"Hmph! Since that's the case, I hope you'll be as defiant later!"
Sak snorted coldly, swept his gaze over the twenty-odd brothers on both sides of the car, and said loudly, "Brothers, he looks down on us. Shouldn't we let him know what's good for him!"
"Yes!"
Everyone around responded in unison.
Originally, they were all quite nervous upon seeing Ye Cangtian, but seeing Sak so calm and composed, they unconsciously gained confidence.
So at this moment, everyone became murderous.
"Good!"
"Listen up, capture Tang Xinwan at all costs. Once she's captured, this Ye Cangtian will be nothing but a paper tiger!"
"Move out!"
Listening to the deafening shouts, Sak's face lit up with a satisfied smile, and he immediately gave the order.
The next moment, the Cardinals and divine envoys in black, in front of and behind the car, rushed forward without a word.
They also knew clearly that Ye Cangtian would not let them go easily. Since that was the case, they had no choice but to fight for it!
Alas!
Looking at the people rushing from all directions, Ye Cangtian sighed helplessly, "Truly ignorant of heaven and earth!"
As his voice fell, several daggers appeared in Ye Cangtian's hands.
With a series of throws, the daggers instantly transformed into silver flashes of light as they flew out.
*Puff! Puff! Puff...*
