Chapter 1403 Dracula's Scheme to Sow Discord

Lan Yue, who accompanied Ye Cangtian, merely glanced at them before closing her eyes, as if what the other party had discovered were not rare elixirs but trash.

Yang Chen also chose to remain silent, believing that Ye Cangtian had his reasons for not acting yet.

Brandon, beside Dracula, had a glint of greed in his eyes and whispered, "My Lord, shall we..."

Before Brandon could finish, Dracula shook his head and said, "Go to the Hall Master of the Central Hall and retrieve his weapon. It's a very good longsword, and it might even carry a legacy.

"Oh, and by the way, check if the Hall Master of the Central Hall has a Qiankun Bag on him. Collect that as well. As for anything else, you don't need to worry about it."

Brandon nodded at his words and then, as instructed by Dracula, retrieved the longsword from the Central Hall Master and the Qiankun Bag from his person.

Ye Cangtian watched everything from afar. Seeing that Brandon showed no signs of being affected by a legacy, he knew that the longsword likely did not possess one.

Thus, he silently closed his eyes.

As for the others in the main hall, after discovering so many elixirs, they had surprisingly maintained some semblance of rationality.

These people did not resort to fighting amongst themselves but chose to divide the spoils equally per person.

These individuals were not foolish.

After all, within the treasure-hunting team, their strength was extremely weak, inferior to Ye Cangtian and his companions, and also to the Light Squad.

They were well aware that internal conflict could not occur, otherwise, they would easily be consumed by the Light Hall later.

At that point, not only would the treasures they acquired be lost, but their very lives might also be extinguished here.

Therefore, they opted for an equal distribution. Fortunately, there were enough elixirs, and their numbers were not large, allowing each person to receive two or three pills.

After distributing the elixirs, almost everyone made the same move: they immediately took one Nine Revolutions Golden Pill.

This way, they could not only recover from their injuries but also increase their strength and enhance their means of survival.

Thus, almost everyone in the hall began absorbing the elixirs, and time ticked by second by second.

What made Ye Cangtian increasingly puzzled was that the Central Hall was not far from the Inner Hall.

Logically, the Lord of Chaos should have been able to sense everything happening here. Yet, why would the Lord of Chaos allow these people to recuperate and regain their combat strength?

Could it be that the Lord of Chaos was absolutely confident in wiping out everyone present?

Therefore, he did not mind giving these people some opportunities?

...

*Tap, tap, tap...*

After an unknown period of silence, footsteps finally echoed through the Central Hall.

Hearing the footsteps approaching his direction, Ye Cangtian slowly opened his eyes and saw Dracula, whose injuries were largely recovered, standing before him.

"Ye Cangtian, can we settle our accounts now?"

Feeling Dracula's unfriendly gaze, Ye Cangtian revealed a disdainful smile and asked, "How do you wish to settle this?"

"It's simple. You previously killed two quasi-Heaven level experts from the Light Hall. You can't just pretend this didn't happen, can you?"

"How about this: as long as you hand over all the treasures from the Outer Hall and destroy the agreement between the Hidden Group and the Light Hall, I can reluctantly let you go this time!"

Dracula said slowly.

The Three Great Halls were all presided over by Heaven-level experts. Now that the Central Hall had discovered treasures, it was highly likely that the Outer Hall also held treasures in his opinion.

Naturally, he was unwilling to let Ye Cangtian obtain these treasures and thus found an excuse to reclaim them.

Most importantly, he wanted to tear up the agreement between the Light Hall and the Hidden Group in the process.

Only by doing so could he legitimately seize the Chaos Seal when he obtained it.

"Heh heh, Dracula, are you not awake yet!"

"Those two enshrinements were killed because they tried to snatch my treasures, and even Brandon said they deserved to die!"

"Now you're coming to settle scores with me over two pieces of trash, aren't you afraid the Light Hall will be ridiculed?"

Ye Cangtian's disdain intensified, and he directly retorted.

If Dracula had chosen a different approach, his attitude might not have been this way. However, this reason was simply too flimsy, and anyone who heard it would naturally feel contempt.

"Did you say that?"

On the other side, Dracula's gaze swept towards Brandon, questioning him.

Feeling Dracula's gaze, Brandon repeatedly shook his head and said, "No, your subordinate never said such a thing. Your subordinate only saw him strike and kill two enshrinements without any reason!"

Brandon denied his own words one after another. Not only that, but he also slandered Ye Cangtian in return.

This action was indeed somewhat despicable, but Brandon knew that this was what Dracula wanted to hear.

Hearing Brandon's words, Dracula's face revealed a satisfied smile, and he then looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Ye Cangtian, you heard him. Should you not provide an explanation to the Light Hall now?"

Heh heh.

Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian burst into laughter. He glanced at Dracula and asked, "Does your Light Hall think everyone is blind?"

Hmph!

Dracula snorted coldly upon hearing this, then lifted his foot and stomped it heavily on the ground.

With a boom, a spiritual energy surged from his body and swept in all directions, startling everyone from the various factions who were still absorbing the medicinal effects.

"This..."

In an instant, everyone looked at Dracula with furious gazes.

Their own cultivation levels were not low; some had reached the peak of the Profound level and could potentially break through to the Earth level after consuming the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill.

As for some who were already Earth-level experts, their cultivation was also soaring after consuming the pills.

Yet, they were all interrupted by Dracula's stomp. How could they not harbor resentment towards him?

It was understandable that their cultivation was soaring, but if their breakthrough was interrupted like this, they might never have another chance to advance in their lifetime!

However, despite their hearts filled with indignation, none dared to accuse Dracula at this moment.

After all, Dracula was a Heaven-level expert, and if he became enraged, they would be unable to resist.

Seeing this, Dracula revealed a disdainful smile, then looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Ye Cangtian, you can ask them. Did you kill two enshrinements of the Light Hall first, or did two enshrinements try to snatch your treasure and end up being killed by you!"

"I saw it, Ye Cangtian tried to seize the Light Hall's spoils of war, and thus killed two enshrinements!"

"I saw it too, and I'm willing to come forward and testify..."

Before Ye Cangtian could ask, people from the other factions began to declare their stances.

The reason was simple: in their eyes, Ye Cangtian had not yet reached the Heaven level, and he did not have a numerical advantage.

Therefore, they naturally chose to side with the Light Hall. Only in this way could they avoid conflict with the Light Hall and preserve themselves to the greatest extent.

"Hahaha..."

"Ye Cangtian, what else do you have to say? The eyes of the masses are discerning, aren't they? Hahaha..."

Seeing everyone currying favor, Dracula felt incredibly refreshed and began to mock Ye Cangtian loudly.

"Heh heh, you guys!"

Ye Cangtian's gaze swept over the group of sycophants, and he shook his head helplessly.

No matter what, these people from various factions were from the ruins of Huaxia, and in the eyes of the Light Hall, they were equivalent to Huaxia forces.

However, this display of bullying the weak and fearing the strong was truly a disgrace to the Huaxia forces.

On the other side, feeling Ye Cangtian's gaze, most of them lowered their heads in shame.

They still possessed a sense of shame, but in the face of the formidable Light Hall, they dared not reveal the slightest bit of it.

Seeing this, Ye Cangtian glanced at Dracula and said faintly, "Dracula, justice lies in people's hearts. If you want to seek justice for those two pieces of trash, then bring it on!"

Dracula glanced at the Death Scythe Ye Cangtian held out and raised an eyebrow, "Ye Cangtian, you're not planning to hand over the treasures and tear up the agreement?"

"That's right."

Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "The agreement is in my possession. If you have the ability, come and snatch it yourself!"

"Haha, I was just kidding. Why are you getting so agitated?"

Seeing Ye Cangtian's cold expression, Dracula suddenly burst into laughter.

This scene left even Ye Cangtian somewhat bewildered.

After all, if Dracula didn't want to fall out with him, there was no need to engage in a verbal dispute.

But now that the argument had escalated, and they were on the verge of a fight, why had Dracula suddenly backed down?

Ye Cangtian did not believe that Dracula was genuinely afraid of him.
