After listening to Ye Wujin's words, Zhou Tianqin exchanged a few words with the Zhong and Tian families beside him, then clasped his fists and said goodbye to Ye Wujin and the other two.
The information they just obtained was extremely important to them, and they wanted to go back to the family to report immediately.
Ye Wujin also made a few casual polite remarks and watched the three people return to their own team.
Ye Wujin said to Cao Tianmen: "Brother Cao, let's go back to the city together. Who knows if there will be any ambushes along the way, so we'd better be careful."
Cao Tianmen nodded and said, "That's right."
Afterwards, the two families' teams joined together and walked towards Dahuang City together.
The previous war of attrition made everyone very tired, only Ye Li still looked somewhat energetic.
After he absorbed all the Earth Fire Spirit Balls, his strength increased a little, and a large amount of pure Earth Fire Spiritual Energy was stored in his Dantian.
Once all these things could be absorbed, Ye Li felt that he might be able to enter the middle stage of the Spiritual Pill Stage.
While feeling the changes in his own strength, he marveled at the power of his natal talisman. After all, being able to transform such a powerful destructive force as the Earth Fire Spirit Ball into a tonic that increases strength is not something that everyone can do.
Thinking of the Earth Fire Spirit Ball, he couldn't help but think of the Qilin Blood Essence in his body.
Before this, he had never told Ye Wujin that he had killed the young Earth Scale Monster. After all, there were many people here and many gossips. Besides not wanting to be the target of other families' covetousness, he was also afraid that the people from the mysterious organization would discover his identity.
After all, the more people who knew this secret, the more likely it was that it would reach the ears of the mysterious organization. He didn't dare to take the words transmitted by the soul of the young Earth Scale Monster as a joke.
Just after everyone outside the maze left, several figures wrapped in black robes appeared on the cliff again.
The leader looked at the empty cave and said angrily, "Damn it, someone among them destroyed the formation we set up, and all our previous deployments were in vain.
I don't know how anyone in this remote place could destroy the Nanming Lihuo Nine-Day Formation. This is an ancient formation that we have obtained with great difficulty.
Now that these people have left here alive, how can we collect enough soul power?"
The black-robed men behind him looked at each other, and one of them said, "Sir, what should we do now? Should we ask the organization to send some experts over so that we can wipe out these seven families ourselves
Anyway, this is just a remote place, even if something strange happens, it won’t necessarily attract the attention of the underworld.”
After hearing this, the leader snorted coldly and said, "Nonsense, have you forgotten the organization's current strategy? We can only hide temporarily and try not to be exposed before the plan is completed.
Although Shanhai County is remote, at least there are people from the four major chambers of commerce here, and the Ye family seems to have some connection with the Weapon Foundry. Once we are exposed, it will inevitably attract the attention of other forces. At that time, it will not be so easy for us to act in the world.
Now that the plan here has failed, we can only hope for the actions of the Zhang family. As long as they can start a war, enough talisman masters will die, and we can collect enough souls and blood essence.
You should quickly activate the formation and take away the souls of these dead people. If you wait a little longer, the souls will dissipate and we won’t be able to collect anything.
As for the blood essence, I had thought that the corpse would be burned by the underground fire, so I didn't think of collecting it. Now it's too late to set up a temporary formation, so it can only be wasted."
Hearing his words, the man in black robe behind him nodded respectfully and accepted the order, then left the mountain with the other people.
There was only one person left behind the black-robed leader. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Sir, can the Zhang family really take over Shanhai County?"
The black-robed leader heard the other party's question, laughed, and said: "It would be best if they could capture it, at least we have placed a chess piece in this remote place.
If they fail to take it, we won't suffer much loss. As long as they start a war, there will be enough souls and blood essence for us to collect.
Okay, you go down too. Prepare more materials for the formation and keep a close eye on the movements of the various families in Shanhai County.
Don't get involved in their fight, just clean up the battlefield."
"Yes, I obey your command!"
The black-robed man behind him hurriedly saluted respectfully and left after receiving the order.
Ye Wujin led the team and quickly returned to Dahuang City along the original route with Cao Tianmen.
Both parties had to go to the various courtyards in the city to report the situation first, and then they simply entered the city together.
At this time, the sky had begun to turn white and the east was gradually becoming brighter. The two parties had just taken a few steps into the city when they encountered the guards of their respective families.
"Hey, why are you standing here?"
Ye Wujin asked his guard with a puzzled look.
The Ye family guard quickly said, "In reply to the Third Master, something strange happened in the city, and the Cao family was ambushed by the Luo and Zhang families and almost wiped out.
The head of the family and the ancestor took people to rescue the remaining people in the compound, and then our two families gathered at the Ye family’s manor outside the city.
We came here specially to wait for you, just in case you can’t find anyone when you return to the compound.”
After hearing the guard's words, the Ye family members showed expressions of extreme shock on their faces.
On Cao Tianmen's side, after listening to the report from the Cao family guards, his face was full of disbelief.
"This... How is this possible? My Cao family was almost destroyed overnight!"
Cao Tianmen found it hard to accept this fact, his eyes widened like bells.
The Cao family guard also showed a sad look on his face, and hurriedly explained the cause and effect of the matter.
The Ye family members were right next to them, so they naturally understood the whole story.
After knowing what happened to the Cao family, the Ye family members looked at the Cao family members around them with sympathy.
The two families had fought together in the maze before, and many people on both sides had formed a strong fighting friendship, which the Ye family members also sighed about.
After the Cao family guard finished explaining, Cao Tianmen almost sat down on the ground, with an extremely worried look on his face.
"Increase your fortune and life... Will you be okay...?"
Cao Tianmen muttered to himself.
When Ye Li heard the other party's words, he suddenly remembered that Cao Zengfu and Cao Zengshou were the two sons of Cao Tianmen, and they might also be living in the Cao family manor, so he didn't know whether they could survive now.
The other members of the Cao family also showed expressions of grief and worry at this time. It was obvious that many of their direct relatives lived in manors outside the city.
Ye Wujin looked at the reactions of Cao Tianmen and the other members of the Cao family, and he showed some reluctance in his eyes. He quickly walked over and patted Cao Tianmen on the shoulder, saying, "Brother Tianmen, let's go back to the Ye Family Manor to see the situation first. Maybe Zengfu and Zengshou are already waiting for you there."
