"This..."
Hassar's brow furrowed instantly.
Ye Cangtian's actions had already insulted the Hall of Light. If he didn't step forward, he couldn't possibly explain himself to the Pope.
But if he went along with his subordinates' wishes, the soul imprint would surely not spare him.
However, just as he was in a dilemma, Ye Cangtian looked at him, and his eyes clearly flashed with encouragement.
Could it be that Ye Cangtian also wanted to find an excuse to cause trouble?
With this thought, Hassar coldly snorted and said, "Mr. Ye, please watch your words. These people have short tempers. If they really do something out of line, I won't be able to stop them."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Hassar breathed a sigh of relief. With Ye Cangtian's tacit approval, even speaking to Ye Cangtian in such a tone did not provoke any reaction from the soul imprint.
"Heh, just them?"
"Cowards who don't even dare to go to Huaxia, yet they dare to act tough on their own turf?"
Ye Cangtian sneered disdainfully.
The Hall of Light had repeatedly caused trouble in Huaxia, and he had long been fed up. Now, seizing this opportunity, he wanted to show off his might in Bright City, as a way of retaliating.
"This..."
One sentence left Hassar speechless.
After all, there were over a thousand people here. Although these people were not as powerful as Ye Cangtian, a swarm of ants could still bite an elephant to death!
Ye Cangtian should have understood this principle better than anyone. Why would he then issue such an overt provocation?
"Damn it, Ye Cangtian, do you think this is a place for you to run wild?"
"Exactly. Don't you even look at where this is. This is Bright City. As long as we want, we can extinguish you with a single spit!"
"If you're smart, you'll get on your knees and apologize..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, the phalanx in front of them suddenly became agitated. They could no longer tolerate it and started shouting.
Some even drew their weapons, looking as if they would kill anyone who dared to act rashly.
Facing the menacing phalanx of the Hall of Light, Ye Cangtian smiled disdainfully, beckoned with his finger, and said, "Anyone who's not convinced can come forward. Don't just talk! But I'll warn you, those who come forward will die!"
"..."
One sentence made everyone hesitate.
Everyone knew that Ye Cangtian's strength was terrifying, capable of severing the Pope's arm. Therefore, no one was his match in a one-on-one fight.
Their only chance of winning was to attack him collectively, and only after Ye Cangtian was exhausted.
But before he was exhausted, how many of them would die?
This number would likely be enormous, which was why no one wanted to make the first move, as that would mean death.
Seeing the hesitant phalanx before him, with no one stepping forward, Ye Cangtian's smile became even more disdainful. "Does the Hall of Light have no brave people?"
"I'll do it!"
Finally, as Ye Cangtian's voice fell, a cardinal in red stepped forward. He truly couldn't stand Ye Cangtian's arrogant demeanor anymore.
Swoosh!
However, as soon as the opponent stepped out of the ranks and before he could even adopt a defensive stance, a silver light shot out.
In an instant, the silver light pierced the cardinal's chest, sending him flying backward and knocking over a row of people behind him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, commendable courage, but your strength is too weak!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the cardinal who was sent flying and mocked him.
"This..."
One sentence caused the faces of everyone in the phalanx to turn red, and their killing intent surged. However, not a single person dared to speak or step forward again.
With a single casual blow, a cardinal was finished. In such a situation, whoever stepped forward would die!
The most crucial point was whether these thousand people could exhaust Ye Cangtian's strength.
If not, wouldn't they have died in vain?
"Alas! As expected, people from the Hall of Light are only good at petty schemes. Once they face things head-on, they're nothing!"
Seeing that no one dared to charge forward, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but sigh, uttering contemptuous words again.
"Mr. Ye, please watch your words."
"Also, I want to remind you that you are here to discuss matters, not to deepen the hatred between us!"
Hassar stepped forward and said to Ye Cangtian.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian shrugged and said, "Alright, they're all cowards. There's no point in attacking them. Let's go, take me to meet the Pope. Don't keep him waiting."
Ye Cangtian understood that in the current situation, if the Hall of Light did not have any experts present, the cardinals would not dare to attack again.
Therefore, he did not want to waste any more time here.
Besides, Lan Yue had already uploaded everything to the battle network. He presumed that upon seeing the video online, the Pope would be very 'pleased.'
"Mr. Ye, please!"
On the other side, upon hearing this, Hassar quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Cangtian was finally done playing. Otherwise, if the losses on his side were too great, he would not be able to explain himself to the Pope.
Saying this, Hassar quickly led Ye Cangtian to the convoy and personally opened the car door for him.
...
Sky Fortune Castle.
The Pope and Dracula watched the video online, their faces ashen.
Outside the Hall of Light, all the capable individuals in Bright City had gone to the airport.
A full thousand people, yet none of them stopped Ye Cangtian's arrogant rampage. Instead, one person was killed in public, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
It was truly a complete humiliation for the Hall of Light!
"Pope, this is the outer hall you lead! What are they? They don't even have a shred of spirit!"
After a short while, Dracula glanced at the Pope, his gaze turning grim.
He finally understood why, for people of equal combat power, the inner hall was considered superior to the outer hall.
It was because of their spirit. Faced with such a situation, people from the inner hall would definitely eliminate the opponent at all costs, and would they tolerate such arrogance?
In comparison, the outer hall was a bunch of good-for-nothings!
Hmph!
On the other side, upon hearing Dracula's words, the Pope snorted coldly.
His heart was also filled with fury, but he could not refute a single word.
There was nothing he could do. The outer hall of the Hall of Light had suffered continuous losses in recent years, and the battle-hardened elites had long since perished.
The current cardinals and black-robed bishops were merely picking the best of the worst, relying on pills to improve their cultivation and barely maintaining order. They had not experienced hardship or tempering, so where would they find an unyielding will!
Therefore, although the Pope was angry about what had happened, he also expressed understanding.
After a long pause, the Pope glanced at Dracula and said, "Ye Cangtian won't be able to jump around for much longer. Let him be arrogant for a while..."
"Report!"
Before the Pope could finish, a report came.
In a blink of an eye, a hurried figure walked in and said, "Your Excellency the Pope, Your Excellency Dracula, Hassar's convoy has arrived at the gate of Sky Fortune Castle!"
Upon hearing this, the Pope's face revealed a cold smile. "Dracula, the one who is about to die has arrived. You can vent your anger directly at him later!"
Hmph!
Dracula snorted lightly and then got up to leave the fifth-floor hall. He did not want to reveal his identity unless absolutely necessary.
Seeing this, the Pope glanced at the guards and said indifferently, "Go, bring Ye Cangtian and the others here!"
On the other side, at the bottom of Sky Fortune Castle, as the convoy stopped, Ye Cangtian's brow furrowed.
Logically, the Pope should be at the Hall of Light, but why had Hassar brought him here?
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Ye Cangtian instantly realized something.
In Sky Fortune Castle, there was an old man named Dracula. The last time they met, Dracula had given him a sense of great danger.
This indicated that Dracula's strength was by no means ordinary. Now that the Pope was meeting him here, it undoubtedly meant he had invited Dracula to assist him, preparing to take him down together.
Damn it!
Fortunately, he had made preparations this time and invited the Old Man of the Undead to hold the fort, otherwise, he might have really fallen here!
With this thought in mind, Ye Cangtian got out of the car and, led by Hassar, walked into Sky Fortune Castle.
The moment he entered Sky Fortune Castle, a cold smile appeared on Ye Cangtian's face.
Originally, Sky Fortune Castle was just a luxurious entertainment venue, but at this moment, according to his perception.
All entertainment activities here had stopped, and there were no guests enjoying themselves.
Instead, there were countless sharp killing intents.
In addition, he sensed two familiar auras. Both of them had cultivation bases at the sixth and seventh levels of the Quasi-Heavenly realm. Without a doubt, they must be Arthur and Eleanor.
With them here, the ambushing forces were likely the Golden Armor Knights of the inner hall!
Thinking of this, a killing intent also arose in Ye Cangtian's heart. To encounter you all here, it truly is a narrow path indeed!
