"Hm?"
A single sentence instantly tightened Ye Cangtian's heart. He was indeed plotting against the Bright Hall. Had Dracula seen through him?
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian laughed heartily, "Dracula, what are you talking about? When has this seat ever plotted against you?"
"Hmph!"
Dracula let out a cold snort and then said, "Everyone says that the Southern Sea Domain is the most dangerous place among the Chinese relics. No one can leave alive!"
Pausing, Dracula continued, "And your goal is to lead us to the sea, and then use those demons to annihilate us, right! This way, you also have an explanation to give to the Bright Hall!"
Dracula became more and more agitated as he spoke. It couldn't be blamed on him, as Ye Cangtian had been the one guiding the direction all along.
As for whether this direction was hinted at by the two seals, he didn't know.
This was because Ye Cangtian had never shown him the two seals. It was for this reason, coupled with the rumors from these factions, that Dracula's attention was finally drawn.
After all, along this journey, even with his personal oversight, the Bright Squad had still lost over twenty men.
And the dangers on this route were said to be incomparable to the sea domain, which put considerable pressure on him.
Therefore, he had to invite Ye Cangtian to confront him.
"Heh heh."
On the other side, upon hearing Dracula's question, Ye Cangtian's face revealed a relaxed smile. So the other party hadn't seen through his plan!
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian glanced at Dracula and slowly said, "Dracula, questioning me comes with a price! Have you thought it through?"
"I have!"
How could Dracula be intimidated by Ye Cangtian? He quickly nodded in agreement.
Moreover, in his opinion, it was very important to confirm whether Ye Cangtian had set them up now, and it was worth paying some price for it.
After all, this was much better than realizing the truth when death was imminent!
"Alright, since you say so, then prepare ten Nine-Revolving Golden Pills and one Enlightenment Pill."
"If there is a problem with the direction I guide, I will return them in full. But if my guidance is flawless, these pills will belong to me!"
Seeing Dracula's firm expression, Ye Cangtian nodded and said indifferently.
"This..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's tone, Dracula actually felt a little cowardly.
It was not a small number of those pills, and since Ye Cangtian dared to stake these as a bet, he must have had some reliance.
However, after thinking about it, Dracula was still uneasy.
The rumors from those other factions were like steel needles piercing his heart. If they weren't pulled out, he would continue to feel uncomfortable.
After a moment of hesitation, Dracula finally took out the pills, placed them on the table in the large tent, and then made a gesture of invitation.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian didn't delay. He directly took out two seals, and as a trace of spiritual energy was infused into them, the seals instantly transformed into two phantom images.
And at the top of the two phantom images, several light beams appeared. Among them, two light beams shot directly towards the sea domain outside the tent.
Upon seeing this, Dracula's mouth twitched. The facts had already proven that the direction Ye Cangtian guided was not wrong.
"Dracula, remember, since I promised to guide you, I will not play tricks in this regard!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the speechless Dracula, let out a soft snort, and collected all the pills on the table.
"..."
Dracula looked at Ye Cangtian, his face flushed red, but he couldn't argue.
After a long while, he slowly said, "Now the Chaos Seal is in the vast sea domain. What should we do next?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's brows also furrowed. To be honest, this outcome was not what he had hoped for, but it was precisely the case.
After a moment of silence, Ye Cangtian glanced over and said, "What to do is your Bright Hall's business. I am only responsible for guiding you!"
After speaking, Ye Cangtian left the large tent without looking back.
"Damn it! What's with the act? We're all in the same boat. If the Bright Squad is wiped out, can you escape?"
Watching Ye Cangtian's retreating back, Dracula roared in his heart.
...
After leaving the large tent, Ye Cangtian, accompanied by Lan Yue and Yang Chen, went to the seaside.
The three of them admired the boundless sea while looking for a deserted reef.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian took down the Qiankun Pouch and said lightly, "Nami, I promised you that I would personally send you to the Southern Sea Domain. Now I have done it..."
As his voice fell, a ray of light flashed from the Qiankun Pouch, and in the blink of an eye, Nami's figure appeared before Ye Cangtian and the others.
"Stinky little brother, you're really willing to let me leave?"
Nami glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian with her beautiful eyes and said playfully.
She didn't know what Ye Cangtian was thinking. Anyway, after following Ye Cangtian for so long, she had long regarded Ye Cangtian as family.
Therefore, when Ye Cangtian said she should leave, she felt inexplicably unhappy.
"Uh..."
Feeling Nami's reproachful gaze, Ye Cangtian was slightly stunned and said with bitterness, "Of course, I am extremely reluctant to part with you, but I cannot go back on my word for what I promised..."
Nami had been by his side since the very beginning, from killing Cheng Hai until now, and had indeed helped him a lot.
Now that they were about to part, Ye Cangtian was also reluctant, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he didn't want to force Nami to do anything she didn't want to do.
"You're so stupid."
Before Ye Cangtian could finish speaking, Lan Yue interrupted him.
Then Lan Yue looked at Nami and said playfully, "My junior brother's meaning is very simple. If you want to leave, he won't stop you. But if you want to stay, he warmly welcomes you."
Hearing Lan Yue say this, Nami's beautiful eyes fell on Ye Cangtian again, and she said playfully, "Really, you're reluctant to part with me?"
"Uh..."
Looking at Nami's pretty face, Ye Cangtian instantly felt awkward. He really couldn't stand it.
"Pfft!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's embarrassed look, Nami immediately burst into laughter and said, "It's no use being reluctant. I have to return to the sea domain after all. I can feel that there are still mermaid clan inheritances waiting for me in the sea domain!"
Pausing, seeing Ye Cangtian's slightly disappointed expression, Nami continued to smile, "But those are not urgent. I can accompany you until this operation is over.
Besides, your target is also the sea domain, perhaps I can help you!"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Ye Cangtian's face.
Speaking of which, his greatest reliance upon arriving in this endless sea domain was Nami.
Nami was of the royal bloodline of the mermaid clan, holding a transcendent status among the sea creatures. Coupled with the mermaid clan's divine artifact, she would undoubtedly bring unimaginable benefits.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian glanced at Nami and said solemnly, "Then thank you."
"Alright, don't be so formal with me."
Nami gave Ye Cangtian a look, then stepped into the seawater. She turned back and said, "I'll go ahead and scout the way..."
Nami indicated that she had left a trace of her soul power within the Qiankun Pouch.
As long as Ye Cangtian needed it, if he placed the Qiankun Pouch in the seawater, she would receive the message quickly.
Saying this, Nami's figure had already submerged into the seawater.
...
Night.
Campfires were lit on the beach, and Dracula of the Bright Hall gathered all the captains of the various factions.
In front of the many captains, Dracula said, "I have sent people to conduct a simple exploration of the sea domain. There is good news and bad news..."
Dracula didn't waste time and directly announced the two pieces of news.
The so-called good news was that the oxygen concentration in the seawater was very high, so one could breathe in it and not worry about drowning.
The bad news was that the resistance of the seawater was very large. If one fought in the seawater, their combat power would be somewhat reduced.
This way, if they encountered any powerful beings, they would likely suffer greatly and it would be much more dangerous than fighting on land.
Therefore, Dracula proposed that before heading out to sea, everyone should work together to build larger warships to avoid fighting in the sea as much as possible.
To this, the people from the other factions had no objections and directly raised their hands in agreement.
However, at this moment, only Ye Cangtian stepped forward.
