Gui Hao shook his head and said, “I don’t know because the higher-ups of the sect didn’t tell us anything and just ordered us to return before asking us to prepare for battle. However, I feel that it might be related to the Sword Sect!” “Why?” asked Tang Ye. “Because the sect dispatched a huge number of scouts towards the Sword Sect!” Gui Hao said in a low voice, “Moreover, all of them were at the Spirit Realm or above!” It’s really related to the Sword Sect! Tang Ye’s heart suddenly twitched. He was naturally unconcerned about the Sword Sect’s fate, and he was only concerned about Su Qingshi. If something were to happen to the Sword Sect, then with her character, Su Qingshi would definitely live and die with the Sword Sect. So, Tang Ye unconsciously clenched his sword when he heard this. At this moment, he wished for nothing more than to immediately fly back to the Sword Sect and take Su Qingshi with him! Tang Ye took a short while to suppress the agitated emotions in his heart. Tang Ye gazed at those disciples of the Ghost Sect and was about to speak when Gui Hao suddenly said, “I know that you’ll kill us, but I still hope that you’ll let us go. Because we can’t pose a threat to you.” “That reason isn’t enough!” said Tang Ye. Gui Hao laughed bitterly and said, “Actually, we never intended to return to the sect after we left it this time! Because once sects enter into war with each other, then insignificant fellows like us will only become cannon fodder. We don’t want to die, so we can pledge our loyalty you if you’re willing to let us live!” A wisp of gloominess flashed through the depths of Gui Hao’s eyes when he spoke up to this point. How could he possibly pledge his loyalty to a Spirit Realm profounder? He’d only resorted to it as a temporary measure to stay alive. Actually, he actually wished for nothing more than to kill Tang Ye because Gui Yu was his cousin brother! Unfortunately, he didn’t have the strength to accomplish it, so he could only act in this way to survive! So long as he was alive, then he would have a chance one day! As for whether Tang Ye would agree, he felt that Tang Ye would definitely agree. Because all of them were Spirit Realm experts, and could anyone avoid being tempted by Spirit Realm experts who were willing to join his side? Tang Ye glanced indifferently at him and said, “Kill them!” Gui Hao and the others were stunned upon hearing this. This shouldn’t be the outcome! Tang Ye should have agreed and asked us to swear our loyalty to him, and then.... Unfortunately, that was the end because Ye Yun and the others had attacked. A few dozen assassins had attacked in unison, so Gui Hao and the others didn’t even have the opportunity to resist before they’d been killed! “I thought that you would agree!” An Nanjing suddenly spoke from the side. “Am I that stupid?” Tang Ye shook his head. Actually, even if Gui Hao and the others were telling the truth, he would still kill them because they’d betrayed the Ghost Sect today, so they could betray him in the future as well! So, why should he keep such fellows by his side? Moreover, he didn’t believe Gui Hao at all. Pledge their loyalty to him? It only sounded good.... “You’re very decisive!” An Nanjing said, “I would have immediately turned around and left if you agreed just now. Because I’d feel that protecting such an idiot would be an insult to me and a waste of my time. Fortunately, you didn’t.” Tang Ye shook his head and didn’t continue on this topic with An Nanjing because it was meaningless. He turned around to gaze at Ye Yun and said, “Have Leng Jun and Leng Yin returned?” Earlier, he’d sent the two of them to investigate the Flower Palace and Origin School, and with the strengths that they possessed, they should have returned by now. Ye Yun frowned and said, “They haven’t. That’s quite strange. With the strengths they possess, they should be able to flee unless they encountered an Exalt Realm expert. Because even peak Spirit Realm experts can’t stop them from fleeing. So, since they still haven’t returned until now, then there are only two possibilities. The 1st is that they encountered an Exalt Realm expert and are never coming back. The second is that they’ve been delayed by something!” “You bastard! Only you are never coming back!” Right at this moment, Leng Yin’s voice suddenly resounded, and then two whistles arose in the air as Leng Jun and Leng Yin appeared here.Tang Ye and the others immediately heaved sighs of relief when they heard Leng Yin. However, Tang Ye frowned when he saw them because both of them were injured. A wisp of scarlet red was extremely conspicuous on Leng Yin’s left shoulder, and the wound was a few centimeters deep! On the other hand, Leng Jun’s chin was still bleeding, and the wound there was a few centimeters deep as well. If that same wound had been just a few centimeters lower, then Leng Jun would probably not be standing here now. “What exactly happened!?” asked Tang Ye in a heavy voice. Because the two of them had actually been reduced to such a state even with the strengths they possessed. Could it have been an Exalt Realm expert? Leng Jun had a solemn expression on his face as he said, “Sword Master, we encountered members of the League of Doom!~” Tang Ye’s heart shook when he heard this and said, “The League of Doom? How many? What realm was their cultivation at?” Leng Jun nodded and said, “We only encountered three of them, but it might not be all of them. The weakest amongst them was at the fifth rank of the Spirit Realm. If it weren’t for the Specter Set and the top-grade Strider Talismans that Sword Master gave us, both I and Leng Yin would have really been unable to return.” Tang Ye fell silent for a moment before he gazed at the two women at the Exalt Realm who were constantly standing silently at the side. One of the women shook her head when she saw Tang Ye look towards them, and she said, “The order we received was merely to protect you. Everything else is unrelated to us.” Tang Ye withdrew his gaze as he knew he couldn’t count on them. Those three assassins have to be eliminated in advance, otherwise, it would truly be difficult for me to act in peace! Even Leng Jun and Leng Yin suffered such a huge loss at their hands, so how can the others possibly resist them? But who should I dispatch to kill them? “Let me, Zhang Liu, Leng Jun, and Leng Yin go!” Meanwhile, Ye Yun suddenly said, “We have a chance against them if we join forces.” Leng Jun and Leng Jun nodded to display their agreement because they really wanted to take revenge right now!Right at this moment, a black clothed figure suddenly appeared in front of Tang Ye and said, “Sword Master, a large group of profounders are rushing swiftly towards us. We might have been exposed!”
