Ye Cangtian nodded upon hearing the other party's statement.
"I agree with your viewpoint. After all, there is strength in unity. But the question is, how do we establish trust among ourselves? And what guarantees do we have?"
So that's how it is.
Hearing this, Zi Long muttered to himself, giving Po Xiao a thumbs-up in his heart.
So Po Xiao's earlier disrespect was all for this moment!
Whether it was to gain some advantage for the Dark Association in their operations or to extract some benefits for them.
In short, while ensuring the smooth execution of the operation, they were maximizing the Dark Association's interests.
Qiao of the Bright Hall frowned upon hearing Po Xiao's words.
He had to admit that Po Xiao was a tough opponent. If it were anyone else, they would have been easily hoodwinked by a word or two from him.
But Po Xiao before him was probing relentlessly.
If he didn't make any promises or offer any benefits in such a setting, he would appear very insincere!
Although he grumbled inwardly, Qiao outwardly produced a Qiankun Bag.
He fumbled inside the Qiankun Bag for a moment and then took out six small porcelain bottles.
The six bottles were of two colors, half white and half blue.
After a moment, Qiao pointed to the white bottles and said, "I'm sure everyone is familiar with the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, right? I don't need to elaborate on its efficacy. These three bottles contain three Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs, serving as a guarantee for the operation."
What!
At these words, everyone except Qiao widened their eyes, including Nancy, whose gaze held even more longing.
Who didn't know the powerful effects of the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir!
It was truly capable of resurrecting the dead and regenerating flesh and bone. With one Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir on hand, one would have no worries during operations and wouldn't fear being betrayed by others.
After all, everyone present were Earth-level powerhouses. In a direct confrontation, it was difficult to instantly kill an opponent.
As long as one could provide the opponent with a moment to escape, they could use the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir to recover from their injuries.
At this moment, Ye Cangtian had a different thought. Using the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir to dispel suspicions and achieve initial cooperation among the four factions might be barely achievable.
But the problem was, the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir was extremely rare, and any faction strictly controlled it.
Furthermore, with the potent effects of the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, if used skillfully, it could easily help a faction produce another Earth-level powerhouse.
Yet, the Bright Hall was suddenly producing three Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs. What were they seeking with such a hefty price?
As Ye Cangtian pondered this, Qiao pointed to the other three blue porcelain bottles.
"I won't keep you in suspense. The remaining three bottles contain Enlightenment Pills."
"Before the mission, you can have these three Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs. I hope you will set aside your suspicions and cooperate wholeheartedly."
"And only after the operation concludes will I give you the remaining three Enlightenment Pills..."
Upon hearing Qiao's words, most of the people present showed expressions of confusion.
Judging by Qiao's arrangement, the Enlightenment Pills should be more valuable than the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs, but they genuinely didn't know what Enlightenment Pills were or what their effects were.
Among everyone, only Zi Long showed no confusion, but rather an expression of intense shock.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian pondered for a moment, then finally closed his mouth.
He could tell that Zi Long definitely recognized the Enlightenment Pills. If that were the case, he would ask him later in private.
This was to prevent the Sky Net and Listening Wind Pavilion from developing greedy intentions upon learning about them.
"Since that's the case, this old man will not refuse."
After a brief pause, Xue Ye directly stood up, picked up a small white bottle from the table, and stuffed it into his Qiankun Bag.
He acted as if he was afraid the Bright Hall would go back on their word.
It was known that Sky Net originally had two Killing Gods, but unfortunately, one was lost during the previous operation in China, causing Sky Net's strength to significantly decline.
Now, with this Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, he could completely forge another Killing God, helping Sky Net return to its peak.
Therefore, he certainly wouldn't give the Bright Hall a chance to renege.
With Xue Ye taking the lead, Feng Ze on the other side also couldn't remain calm. He eagerly grabbed a small white bottle as well.
Although he represented the Listening Wind Pavilion, he was the only one among the six people present whose strength was inferior to Nancy's.
However, he had at least reached the peak of the Profound level. With this Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, he had a high chance of breaking through the bottleneck to the Earth level.
At that time, both his international standing and his position within the Listening Wind Pavilion would improve.
Seeing their eagerness, Qiao wore a proud smile, then looked at Po Xiao and Zi Long with great interest.
"The Bright Hall has paid such a heavy price to unite us. The mission must not be simple, right?"
"Why don't you tell us about it first!"
Sensing Qiao's gaze, Ye Cangtian did not reach out. Instead, he asked slowly.
Before the other party revealed their specific objective, he paid no attention to the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir and the Enlightenment Pills.
He was worried that the mission would be too difficult to survive and enjoy them!
"Yes, let's talk about the objective first."
Zi Long regained his senses and echoed the sentiment.
He strongly supported Po Xiao's approach. At this moment, they couldn't be too greedy, otherwise, they might die without even knowing how.
Moreover, the Bright Hall was most skilled in schemes and tricks.
Damn it, this Po Xiao is truly cautious! He seems like a tough opponent!
"Alright."
Muttering to himself, Qiao glanced at Xue Ye beside him and said, "Do you remember that strange thing you mentioned to me during the last operation in China?"
Xue Ye heard this, pondered for a moment, and slowly nodded.
Seeing this, Qiao no longer concealed anything and said, "During the last operation in China, the young master of Sky Net captured Ye Cangtian's fiancée, Tang Xinwan."
He paused, and seeing all eyes turn to him with confusion, Qiao continued, "Everyone likely knows about the perverted hobbies of the young master of Sky Net, right? Tang Xinwan is the only one who could have remained unharmed in the hands of the young master of Sky Net..."
Upon hearing this, Xue Ye's expression turned somewhat grim, but he had to admit that the actions of the young master of Sky Net were indeed perverse.
Any woman who fell into the hands of the young master of Sky Net, regardless of her appearance or figure, would undoubtedly suffer a tragic fate.
This is bad!
Ye Cangtian cursed inwardly. Qiao saying this clearly indicated that he intended to uncover the secrets of Tang Xinwan. To put it bluntly, he was interested in the golden leaves!
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian quickly said, "From what I know, the young master of Sky Net didn't just capture Tang Xinwan at that time; he also captured the sisters Gu Qin and Gu Yue. Why do you insist it was Tang Xinwan?"
He wasn't trying to shift the blame onto the two sisters, but rather to sow confusion and make everyone question this statement, thereby hoping to deter them from making a move on Tang Xinwan.
Hearing the doubt, Qiao quickly replied, "Naturally, it was after continuous investigation by the Bright Hall..."
According to the investigation, Gu Yue and Gu Qin had previous injury records, and after their injuries, they had always stayed at Ye Cangtian's home, without any chance of encountering any fortuitous encounters.
However, Tang Xinwan was an ordinary person. Even though she was captured, she did not suffer any harm, which was clearly abnormal.
Later, after deduction by the Bright Hall, it was believed that Tang Xinwan should possess some magical artifacts, or even spiritual energy, leaning towards defensive attributes.
As for why Tang Xinwan had these, it should be inseparable from Ye Cangtian.
After all, according to the information they had, Ye Cangtian and Tang Xinwan spent little time together. If he wanted to have no worries, he would definitely need to protect Tang Xinwan's safety!
"So, that means the Bright Hall's objective is the treasure on Tang Xinwan?"
Xue Ye immediately understood and asked.
"That's correct, but it's not just that."
Qiao nodded and continued, "Under the premise of obtaining the treasure, Tang Xinwan's life or death is irrelevant, but Ye Cangtian must die!"
