"Damn it!"
As the voice fell, Dracula, who was still watching the show in the camp, his expression changed instantly.
He just wanted to watch a good show, but he didn't expect Ye Cangtian to drag him into this mess.
Speaking of which, it was just some poisonous insects. Ye Cangtian was fully capable of solving them himself, so why did he have to pull him along?
Could it be that Ye Cangtian had seen through his cooperation with the Five Poisons Sect?
Thinking of this, Dracula's face turned gloomy again, and in the end, he flickered and led the Bright Team to charge towards Ye Cangtian's direction.
There was no other choice!
Ye Cangtian was the one guiding the Bright Team, and without Ye Cangtian, they wouldn't know when they would find the Chaos Seal!
Therefore, at this moment, he dared not terminate the cooperation with Ye Cangtian.
The next moment, as the Bright Team took action, a large number of poisonous insects were slaughtered.
Seeing the bloody scene, Chang She's face turned extremely grim.
He really didn't expect that the alliance between the Five Poisons Sect and the Bright Team would be so fragile.
With just one sentence of threat from Ye Cangtian, it had already crumbled.
"Dracula, what exactly do you mean!" Finally, Chang She could no longer suppress his anger and questioned.
Dracula glanced at Chang She not far away and sneered, "If the Five Poisons Sect wants to participate in the treasure hunt, the Bright Hall naturally welcomes it. But if they attack the allies of the Bright Hall, I, Dracula, will never agree!"
Heh.
This betrayal was faster than flipping a book.
Watching Dracula stand in front of Chang She and spout nonsense, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but let out a cold sneer in his heart.
He naturally knew why Dracula would stand on his side.
Thinking of this, he took a couple of steps forward and looked at Chang She, saying, "Chang She, if you want to deal with the Dugu family, you probably won't be able to leave here today.
But if you give up on the Dugu family, I might give you a chance to participate."
Ye Cangtian's idea was very simple. He couldn't protect the Dugu family forever.
And once he left, the Five Poisons Sect might come knocking again, and the Dugu family would face the same crisis as today.
Therefore, in order to help the Dugu family resolve the crisis, Ye Cangtian decided to make a deal with the Five Poisons Sect.
On the other side, upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Chang She's eyes lit up.
He had long heard from Qian Zu and others that the Hidden Group and the Bright Hall had joined forces to search for a peerless treasure, and naturally, his heart was filled with greed.
And if he could openly join the exploration team, it would undoubtedly bring more benefits.
It was a simple truth. If they acted stealthily, they could only seize some benefits in secret, and the value of these benefits would largely depend on their luck.
But if they joined the treasure hunt team, it would be equivalent to joining forces with the Hidden Group and the Bright Hall, and the Five Poisons Sect would receive a proportional share.
Compared to the two, the latter was naturally more attractive.
Thinking of this, Chang She glanced at Ye Cangtian and said very readily, "Alright, since Mr. Ye has said so, our Five Poisons Sect is not unappreciative. We will give Mr. Ye some face."
In Chang She's opinion, the opportunity to search for treasure was rare, and the Dugu family was always here, so it was never too late to deal with them.
Therefore, it was fine to agree to Ye Cangtian first.
Hearing Chang She's words, Ye Cangtian showed a satisfied smile and then said, "Since you have agreed on behalf of the Five Poisons Sect, then retreat for now. When we set off later, you can all follow along."
"Okay."
Chang She didn't say any more nonsense and directly led the people of the Five Poisons Sect away from the Dugu family's surrounding area.
On the other side, watching Chang She retreat, Dracula's expression was somewhat unnatural.
Originally, the Five Poisons Sect was cooperating with the Bright Hall, but now they were cooperating with Ye Cangtian again. This might not be a good thing for the Bright Hall.
After all, there were no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Therefore, although the Five Poisons Sect had deep conflicts with the Hidden Group, Ye Cangtian was now bringing benefits to the Five Poisons Sect.
So, at a critical moment, the Five Poisons Sect might actually help the Hidden Group and deal with the Bright Hall.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, it seemed he had to be careful of the Five Poisons Sect in the future!
"Haha, Dracula, thank you for your righteous help!"
Just then, a laugh came. Dracula glanced at Ye Cangtian and squeezed out a smile, saying, "Not at all. We are allies, there's no reason for you to face the enemy alone!"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and then said, "Alright, I won't say any more. I'll make some arrangements first, and then we'll set off."
With that, Ye Cangtian didn't wait for Dracula to reply and directly returned to the family's stronghold with Dugu Changfeng.
...
In the main hall.
Dugu Changfeng poured Ye Cangtian a cup of tea and then sat beside Ye Cangtian.
He was silent for a moment, and finally took the initiative to speak, "Kid, thank you for today's matter. But will bringing the Five Poisons Sect with you affect your plan?"
"Of course not."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, a hint of ruthlessness in his smile, and said, "I said, searching for the Chaos Seal is very dangerous. Since the Five Poisons Sect wants to court death, I naturally won't stop them!"
Hearing this, Dugu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood Ye Cangtian's intention. In the end, he slowly nodded in agreement.
Now, the Five Poisons Sect had become a cancerous tumor in the ruins of China. No matter what means were used to destroy it, it would not be too much.
After a moment of silence, Ye Cangtian glanced again and continued, "Senior, what I can do for the Dugu family is limited. From now on, it will depend on yourselves."
Dugu Changfeng nodded and said, "Don't worry. After this crisis has passed, I will select some elites and let them take the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. This way, even if the Five Poisons Sect comes again, the Dugu family will have the strength to fight back."
"Mm, good."
Ye Cangtian responded, then took out two porcelain bottles from his Qiankun bag and handed them to Dugu Shangfeng, saying, "Senior, these are two Enlightenment Pills. Please accept them."
The reason Ye Cangtian gave Dugu Changfeng two Enlightenment Pills was that as some people's strength increased, their ambitions would also increase.
To put it bluntly, Ye Cangtian was worried that the Dugu family would have an internal strife again, so he took out two Enlightenment Pills to help Dugu Changfeng improve his cultivation.
This way, Dugu Changfeng would have the ability to deter all the clansmen whose strength had increased, and at the same time, if the Five Poisons Sect attacked again, he could better protect the family.
"Kid, no need to say thank you."
"In the future, whenever you need it, the Dugu family will definitely do their best!"
Looking at the two pills in his hand, Dugu Changfeng's hands trembled slightly, and then he looked at Ye Cangtian excitedly.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian waved his hand and said, "Senior, take care, and please bid farewell to Ling'er on my behalf. I will be leaving first."
After speaking, Ye Cangtian left the Dugu family directly.
...
The treasure hunting team set off again.
This departure alarmed many people in Wu City.
Initially, only the Five Poisons Sect followed the team, but as time went on, more and more forces joined.
Ye Cangtian and the Bright Hall did not pay attention to the joining of these forces.
For the Bright Hall, this was merely adding some cannon fodder, which they were more than happy about.
Although Ye Cangtian did not want them to follow, he did not persuade them. After all, even if he persuaded them, the result would be futile.
The reason was very simple: these people were blinded by greed and would not listen to anyone's advice.
Thus, the team grew larger and larger, eventually reaching over a thousand people.
And under Ye Cangtian's guidance, the treasure hunting team traveled south, encountering various dangerous places and secret realms, with countless casualties.
Fortunately, the Bright Hall was powerful, with Dracula in charge, and coupled with the fact that these followers were not ordinary people, they managed to get through it all with minor perils.
Finally, after three months of journey, the treasure hunting team finally reached the end of the southern continent, with only a vast expanse of ocean before them.
It was also because they saw the vast ocean that many people in the various forces showed a look of deep apprehension.
In legend, the southern sea had always been known as the most mysterious and dangerous place in the ruins of China.
It was said that no treasure hunting or exploration team that came here had ever been heard to return alive!
Perhaps sensing the whispers in the team, Dracula of the Bright Hall summoned Ye Cangtian to his room alone.
Seeing Dracula's gloomy expression, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but ask, "Dracula, is there something you called me here for?"
Dracula looked at Ye Cangtian and said gloomily, "Ye Cangtian, are you plotting against our Bright Hall!"
