Dada da...
The footsteps were not loud, and they were getting closer, Xuan Shisi's expression was extremely gloomy.
Ye Cangtian completely ignored Xuan Shisi and the two to three hundred guards around him, walking step by step towards Xuan Shisi.
With every step he took, it felt like he was stomping hard on Xuan Shisi's pride, causing the anger in Xuan Shisi's heart to surge.
But even so, Xuan Shisi could only tremble with anger and did not dare to give the order to attack.
"Get out of the way or die."
The voice came again, Ye Cangtian was less than two steps away from Xuan Shisi, almost able to touch him by extending his arm.
Xuan Shisi's heart suddenly tightened. He knew that the time left for him to consider was very tight.
As long as Ye Cangtian took one more step, if he didn't move then, he might never be able to move again.
The next moment.
Xuan Shisi quickly flashed to the side, making way.
The opponent was too strong. Even if he resisted with all his might, it would be useless, let alone the fact that he did not want to die.
As Xuan Shisi dodged, the guards behind him naturally opened a path.
Since even Xuan Shisi had dodged, they had no reason to stop Ye Cangtian.
"Heh heh, people from the Dark Association, nothing more than that."
Ye Cangtian passed through the guards and snorted with a cold laugh.
"You!"
Looking at Ye Cangtian's dashing retreating figure, a wisp of fresh blood flowed from the corner of Xuan Shisi's mouth in anger.
Shame! Utter shame!
On his own territory, being ignored by the opponent and swaggering away, this was the greatest shame of his life!
"What are you still standing there for? Follow him!"
After a long time, Xuan Shisi was furious and immediately sent people to track Ye Cangtian.
Ye Cangtian could leave today, but it could only be temporary. He wanted to find Po Xiao to eliminate Ye Cangtian.
If Po Xiao couldn't do it, there would be Hong Mo in the future. In short, he had to retaliate for today's humiliation!
On the other side, Ye Cangtian had already sensed the people tracking him from behind. He led them to a secluded corner, then quietly shook off the tails, and then returned to the branch.
...
In the branch room.
Xuan Shisi was anxiously knocking on the door outside.
Three waves of guards had come one after another, and all three waves were frightened away by Po Xiao's fury from the room.
So he had to come personally. If he didn't ask Po Xiao to take action, Ye Cangtian might escape.
"Lord Po Xiao, Lord Po Xiao, it's an emergency!"
"Your subordinate implores you to take action and bring that arrogant Ye thief to justice!"
"My lord, please, hurry up and make your move..."
Xuan Shisi pleaded anxiously outside the door. He knew that Po Xiao was in the room, and the powerful aura emanating from the room was definitely that of an Earth-level expert.
"Bang!"
A sound of something breaking came from the room. Xuan Shisi was startled, it was obvious that Po Xiao was already angered.
"Lord Po Xiao, I am very sorry for disturbing your cultivation. I am willing to accept punishment afterwards."
"But for the sake of the Dark Association's face, you should temporarily interrupt your cultivation!"
"If you sit idly by, you won't be able to explain to Lord Xing Yuan!"
Xuan Shisi said anxiously. As a last resort, he had to bring up Xing Yuan to threaten the other party.
Inside the room, Na Mei sat on a chair, her face full of anxiety.
Since the other party had mentioned Xing Yuan, it was clear that he was losing patience. If he didn't respond again, the other party might kick down the door.
Creak...
At this moment, the room window quietly opened, and the sharp-eyed Na Mei suddenly turned her head.
Seeing the familiar figure, Na Mei instantly breathed a sigh of relief. At the critical moment, Ye Cangtian finally returned.
Now that the other party had returned, Na Mei's mission was completed, and she returned to the Qiankun Shell.
"Lord Po Xiao, for the sake of the Dark Association's honor, I can only be rude. Please forgive me!"
Just as Na Mei had predicted, Xuan Shisi soon lost his patience. He fiercely kicked the door.
However, before he could see everything in the room, a teacup flew over and smashed heavily on his forehead, shattering into pieces.
"What a loud shout!"
"You dare to disturb me at the crucial moment of my cultivation and breakthrough, tell me, how many lives do you have!"
Po Xiao's angry voice came out, and Xuan Shisi's face instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew that cultivation was not easy, especially when facing a breakthrough barrier. It could be said that breaking through a barrier not only required hard work but also an opportunity.
Once this opportunity was missed, it was unknown when he could break through again, and this wait could very well be a lifetime!
Therefore, everyone was extremely averse to being disturbed when facing a breakthrough.
This was also one of the reasons why Xuan Shisi's face turned ashen.
If he had known that Po Xiao was about to break through, he would not have dared to disturb him even if he were killed. He would have preferred to let Ye Cangtian go.
If Po Xiao failed to break through, he would definitely vent his anger on him, and even if he were killed on the spot, the Dark Association headquarters would not investigate.
"Lord Po Xiao, your subordinate knows his mistake. Your subordinate is also for the good of the Dark Association!" Xuan Shisi knelt down with a thump and quickly explained.
Hmph!
With a cold snort, Ye Cangtian arrived in front of Xuan Shisi. He kicked him without mercy, sending Xuan Shisi flying.
"A mere Ye Cangtian, is he more important than my breakthrough?"
"Besides, why are you in such a hurry? Send someone to track him first. After I break through, can that Ye Cangtian escape?"
"And you came to disturb my breakthrough now. Who instructed you!"
The angry voice sounded again, and Ye Cangtian came before Xuan Shisi again.
At this moment, blood was constantly overflowing from Xuan Shisi's mouth, and his internal organs felt a burning sensation.
Seeing the enraged Po Xiao in front of him, he quickly said, "My lord, it's not what you think. Ye Cangtian killed Zhang Fan, so your subordinate had no choice but to ask you to take action!"
Xuan Shisi believed that Po Xiao should understand Zhang Fan's importance, so he should understand him after hearing his explanation.
"Hmph! What does Zhang Fan's matter have to do with me?"
"You also know that Zhang Fan was handed over to Hong Mo. If you don't find Hong Mo for this matter, why are you looking for me!"
"Besides, Zhang Fan is already dead, that's an undisputed fact. Do you think a dead person is more important than my breakthrough?"
Ye Cangtian looked at Xuan Shisi coldly, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped Xuan Shisi's face, directly sending him flying.
Puff!
Xuan Shisi flew to the side again, a mouthful of blood staining the sky.
Half of his face was rapidly swelling up, looking like a pig's head.
"Xuan Shisi, I should have killed you to vent my anger today, but considering your many years of service to the Dark Association, I will spare your dog's life!"
"Now disappear from my sight immediately, otherwise I don't mind killing you myself!"
Ye Cangtian's voice came out, and Xuan Shisi repeatedly thanked him before leaving.
At this moment, how could he dare to mention pursuing Ye Cangtian! He was already very fortunate to have saved his life.
...
As the hourglass turned, it soon reached dawn.
After a night of rest, the swelling on Xuan Shisi's face had subsided, but the injuries to his internal organs had not yet recovered, although they were not too serious.
Not long after, the guards who had been tracking Ye Cangtian all night finally returned to him.
"Lord Xuan Shisi, your subordinate is useless. I lost him."
With these words, Xuan Shisi's vision went black, and his body swayed.
The next moment, he rushed in front of the guard and kicked the guard away, roaring, "Trash, you can't even follow someone, what's the point of you living!"
Although he said that, Xuan Shisi was secretly relieved.
Fortunately, Po Xiao did not make a move yesterday. Otherwise, if they had pursued according to the marks left by the guards, they would have found nothing, and the anger would have been even greater, and he would have been even more unlucky!
In this way, he had narrowly escaped.
However, good things never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.
Soon, another guard ran in and reported, "Lord Xuan Shisi, someone just reported that Lord Hong Mo's convoy has arrived outside the city, less than two miles from the city gate..."
What!
Xuan Shisi's vision went black again, and boundless anger burned. He really didn't know what his subordinates were all good for!
He had clearly arranged for those guards to be stationed 15 miles outside the city to discover Lord Hong Mo's convoy in advance so that he could personally greet them.
But now that Hong Mo was less than two miles from the city, even if he went to greet them now, they would have already entered the city by the time they met.
"All of you are useless!"
Xuan Shisi roared, and then he rushed out of the room.
