As Dracula was still trying to guess his intentions, Dracula turned his gaze to the surrounding factions.
"Everyone, thank you for your support of the Hall of Light. In the upcoming battle, let us continue to advance side by side!"
Saying this, Dracula paused, seeing no reaction from the people in front of him.
He continued, "Everyone, if you wish to continue with the Hall of Light, you can now hand over the treasures you obtained in the central hall!"
What!
At these words, everyone from all factions widened their eyes instantly.
And at this very moment, Ye Cangtian narrowed his eyes, and he understood all of Dracula's actions.
Dracula was not targeting him earlier; instead, he was trying to sow discord between him and the other factions.
This way, when Dracula seized the pills and treasures from the other factions, he naturally wouldn't make a move.
Without his intervention, the Hall of Light would have no rivals here, and they could easily subdue these factions.
"Dracula, what if we don't do as you say?"
At this moment, Qian Zu of the Five Poisons Sect, with a sinister gaze, fixed his eyes on Dracula.
They had finally obtained some pills, and now they were being asked to hand them over, which was simply impossible.
Dracula swept his gaze over Qian Zu and said indifferently, "If you don't hand them over, the Hall of Light will naturally not protect you in the subsequent actions. In that case, you can only fend for yourselves!"
"Hmph! Dracula, these were also obtained through our desperate efforts. For you to want us to hand them over like this, you must be dreaming!"
Qian Zu snorted upon hearing this.
In his opinion, fending for themselves was nothing to be afraid of.
Moreover, throughout the previous battles, they had also been fending for themselves, and the Hall of Light had never protected them!
Seeing Qian Zu say this, the others immediately retreated to Qian Zu's side, as they also did not wish to hand over their gains.
Seeing this, Dracula shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly, "The path is yours to choose. Even if it's difficult, I hope you will persevere to the end."
Saying this, Dracula made a gesture of invitation and said, "Everyone, since you are unwilling to hand over your treasures, please, let us continue our journey!"
Looking at Dracula's insidious gaze, the many factions fell silent for a moment before finally leaving the central hall together with the people from the Five Poisons Sect.
Alas!
These people were likely facing a near-death experience!
Watching the other factions depart, Ye Cangtian sighed helplessly in his heart.
If in the past he encountered such a situation, he might have intervened.
But not anymore; the actions of these factions had chilled him to the bone and brought shame to the Chinese factions.
Especially with the presence of the Five Poisons Sect among them, Ye Cangtian would only choose to watch their fate from the sidelines.
After all, the Five Poisons Sect was an enemy faction, and if they became powerful, who knew how many people would suffer.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian left the central hall last, accompanied by Lan Yue and Yang Chen.
...
As soon as they stepped out of the central hall, everything in front of them suddenly changed.
Aside from Lan Yue and Yang Chen beside him, everyone else had disappeared from sight. All that lay before them was dense jungle.
"A formation?"
Lan Yue glanced at Ye Cangtian.
"Yes."
Ye Cangtian nodded slightly. Based on his understanding of formations, this one was not particularly complex.
It was merely an entrapment formation, and breaking it wouldn't be difficult. However, hidden within this entrapment formation were guards of the inner hall, which was a significant killer move.
Listening to Ye Cangtian's explanation, Lan Yue fell silent for a moment and said, "Junior brother, since you say breaking the formation is not difficult, then let's break the formation now!"
"No! We'll just wait here!"
Ye Cangtian stopped Lan Yue and said, "If you go to break the formation like this, you will be ruining Dracula's good deed, and he will resent you!"
Huh?
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Lan Yue was stunned and instinctively asked, "What good deed of his am I ruining?"
Ye Cangtian smiled playfully and said, "Dracula has long harbored murderous intent towards those people. If it weren't for this entrapment formation, he wouldn't have been able to hold back his attacks. With this entrapment formation, he can conveniently conceal some of his actions!"
Hearing this, Lan Yue understood everything.
Yang Chen, standing nearby, couldn't help but sneer, "Serves them right! Who told them not to distinguish between good and evil, and to slander Big Brother? This is all retribution now."
Ye Cangtian glanced at Yang Chen and said indifferently, "That's right, so you must remember to be upright and honorable, worthy of yourself and worthy of China..."
Yang Chen nodded heavily at Ye Cangtian's teachings, "Big Brother, don't worry, I won't let you down."
On the other side, within the entrapment formation, waves of bloody storms descended.
The combat strength of the Five Poisons Sect and other factions was already very limited. Facing the ubiquitous inner hall guards, they were struggling immensely.
Overall, it was already remarkable that they could eliminate an inner hall guard with a one-for-one exchange.
But the casualties were far from over. Under the cover of the entrapment formation, the Hall of Light squad had shed all pretense and completely transformed into demons.
They showed no mercy to either the inner hall guards or their teammates who had come this far, engaging in slaughter upon sight.
Dracula had given them a death order: except for Ye Cangtian and his group, no one else from the other factions was to be left alive.
He wanted to see only the Hall of Light and Ye Cangtian's group when the formation was broken.
There was no alternative. Ye Cangtian and his group still maintained a certain level of combat effectiveness. If they were to fight Ye Cangtian at this time, it was uncertain if the Hall of Light would suffer heavy losses before they could defeat Ye Cangtian.
Therefore, Dracula decided to deal with Ye Cangtian and his group last. However, while his idea was good, its implementation was still very difficult.
Both the Five Poisons Sect and the other factions would not sit idly by; they also launched a fierce counterattack against the Hall of Light.
And with the assistance of the Five Poisons Sect's poisonous creatures, the members of the Hall of Light squad gradually fell in pools of blood.
For a time, the battle within the entrapment formation was chaotic and tragic.
"What to do? What to do?"
In a corner within the entrapment formation, Yin Zhu, along with several injured individuals, surrounded Qian Zu, their faces already extremely pale.
Now, all the people from the other factions had been slaughtered by the Hall of Light, leaving only this group from the Five Poisons Sect.
And these individuals, all bearing injuries, were completely incapable of fighting the Hall of Light.
Qian Zu glanced at Yin Zhu, fell silent for a moment, and said slowly, "The Hall of Light will not let us go. The only ones who can save us now are probably the people from the Hidden Group."
"Of course, if they also die, then it will be very difficult for us to escape the clutches of the Hall of Light!"
Qian Zu saw Ye Cangtian and his group as their last hope, after all, even Dracula had shown obvious apprehension when facing Ye Cangtian before.
"I didn't see the Hall of Light fighting the Hidden Group, but the key is, even if we find the people from the Hidden Group, will they help us?"
Yin Zhu glanced at Qian Zu and asked.
Chang She, who was seriously injured, echoed, "Yin Zhu is right. We treated Ye Cangtian that way before, and our Five Poisons Sect has a bad reputation. Would their Hidden Group possibly offer assistance?"
"Besides them, we have no other reliance. We must try, no matter what."
Qian Zu's expression was solemn. Ye Cangtian and his group could be considered their only lifeline, and they had to try.
Moreover, they had a certain chance of reaching an agreement.
After all, if they all died, given the Hall of Light's methods, their next target would definitely be the Hidden Group.
Therefore, Qian Zu believed that Ye Cangtian would make a wise choice.
Hearing Qian Zu's words, Yin Zhu and Chang She nodded helplessly, and then, with the people from the Five Poisons Sect, they cautiously began to search within the grand formation.
Qian Zu and the others knew that Ye Cangtian's team had entered the entrapment formation after them.
So they began to search in reverse.
Perhaps it was fate, but at the entrance of the entrapment formation, they finally saw Ye Cangtian and his group.
"You... you didn't enter the entrapment formation?"
Seeing Ye Cangtian and his group, Qian Zu was somewhat stunned.
Ye Cangtian glanced at Qian Zu, then closed his eyes, showing no intention of acknowledging Qian Zu.
Seeing Ye Cangtian sitting cross-legged quietly, Qian Zu's expression became somewhat unnatural, and he quickly said, "Do you know that the Hall of Light has already started attacking everyone? I'm afraid only a few of us are left in this entire entrapment formation!"
