Just returned to the room.
Mandala stepped forward, looking Ye Cangtian up and down. For some reason, she felt that his eyes seemed brighter and deeper.
Seeing Mandala’s nervous and slightly astonished expression, Ye Cangtian couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong with you?”
“What’s wrong with me? Hmph!”
Mandala snorted lightly, then said, “How dare you ask me? You were called away by Xing Yuan and didn’t return for a day and a night. I thought something had happened to you!”
Uh…
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian was stunned. To be honest, he had no concept of time during the inheritance and cultivation, but he didn’t expect so much time had passed.
Thinking this, he smiled and said, “Xing Yuan called me. What’s there to worry about? If he intended to harm me, he wouldn’t have made a move so openly…”
“By the way, Blue Moon came to find you twice these past couple of days.”
Mandala glanced at Ye Cangtian and changed the subject.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded and didn’t say much.
After eating a meal, he returned directly to his room.
Blue Moon looking for him was either out of concern or perhaps to discuss plans against the Radiant Hall. These were not urgent for now, and he had no leads.
…
Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, Ye Cangtian muttered to himself.
After returning this time, Xing Yuan’s attitude towards him had clearly improved a lot, even excessively so.
Although his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, and his talent was not bad, it was normal for Xing Yuan to try and win him over.
However, this kind of attention beyond the usual made Ye Cangtian very uneasy.
Could it be that Xing Yuan had foreseen something, perhaps that the patrons of Red Demon were about to emerge?
Was that why he was so eager to establish his own power base, to avoid being usurped?
Or was it for some other reason?
After a long time, Ye Cangtian could not find the true reason for Xing Yuan’s strange behavior, so he gave up and stopped thinking about it.
He knew that some things would naturally be revealed when the time was right.
The next moment.
His mind shifted to another question: What exactly was the Radiant Hall looking for?
Ever since returning from the Sun-Moon Twin Islands, the Radiant Hall had begun large-scale operations.
Whether it was in the capital, the Dark Ruins, or the Huaxia Ruins, their presence was felt.
And from what Qiong Sen had revealed, their activities in the capital were mainly targeting experts who had been to the Sun-Moon Twin Islands.
But on the Sun-Moon Twin Islands, even he, the greatest beneficiary, had only obtained an Enlightenment Pill at most.
The Radiant Hall had become rich overnight; it was impossible for them to launch such large-scale operations just for an Enlightenment Pill.
Moreover, after the Sun-Moon Twin Islands, the Radiant Hall had not troubled the Listening Wind Tower, which should indicate that the item they were looking for should be in the hands of the experts who had landed on the island.
Ye Cangtian, taking advantage of the brief respite, reviewed a series of individuals in his mind, beginning to systematically investigate.
First was the Dark Association.
A total of three Earth-level cultivators from the Dark Association had gone, namely himself, Blue Moon, and Qing Dao.
As for Huaxia, at most, it was just him and Gui Wu.
Among these four, Qing Dao could be ruled out; the man had not found what he was looking for.
So that left him, Gui Wu, and Blue Moon. Among them, Gui Wu could also basically be ruled out.
Apart from the light veil hat he wore on his head, Gui Wu had no other valuable items. Even the quantities of elixir pills in Gui Wu’s Qiankun Bag were few.
Therefore, the remaining two were him and Blue Moon.
He did not know Blue Moon’s situation, but he did indeed possess treasures.
He had three treasures: the first was the Zhenxin Tablet, the second was the Qiankun Pouch, and the third, which he only learned about on the Sun-Moon Twin Islands, was the Imperial Dragon Seal.
Among these, the Qiankun Pouch, like the Golden Trident, was a divine artifact of the Mermaid royal family and was unlikely to be what the Radiant Hall was seeking.
As for the Zhenxin Tablet, although it was a divine artifact and a legacy and foundation of an ancient maze, despite the formation being strange, it lacked offensive capabilities, which would greatly reduce its value.
Thus, the only thing he could show for himself was the Imperial Dragon Seal.
Imperial Dragon Seal?
Thinking of the Imperial Dragon Seal, Ye Cangtian suddenly recalled something.
When he first learned of the secret of the Imperial Dragon Seal, he had seen a phantom of the seal emit three beams of light.
If he remembered correctly, two of those beams had shot towards Huaxia, and the other had shot towards the West.
Could this have something to do with what the Radiant Hall was looking for?
With this thought, Ye Cangtian took out the Imperial Dragon Seal and infused a trace of spiritual energy into it.
Instantly, a phantom of the Imperial Dragon Seal appeared, and three beams of light shot out in three directions.
Two of the beams pointed towards the exit of the ruins, and the last beam pointed south of the Dark Ruins.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian was greatly astonished.
Needless to say, one of the items related to the Imperial Dragon Seal was within the Dark Ruins.
The remaining two were outside the ruins. In his heart, Ye Cangtian suddenly understood something.
Could it be that the other two items were one in the Radiant Hall and the other in the Hidden Group?
Blue Moon had mentioned before that the Imperial Dragon Seal was obtained from the Huaxia Ruins, so the items related to the Imperial Dragon Seal must be ancient artifacts.
Therefore, it was most likely in the Radiant Hall and the Huaxia Ruins.
Could the Imperial Dragon Seal in his hand be one of the items the Radiant Hall was looking for?
And if he guessed correctly, the remaining two should be in the Dark Ruins and the Huaxia Ruins.
Ye Cangtian could hardly believe it, as this was merely his own speculation, but with so many coincidences stacking up, it was difficult to explain otherwise.
However, to find the real answer, Ye Cangtian still decided to find Blue Moon and ask her first.
…
The next morning, after breakfast.
Ye Cangtian went directly to Blue Moon’s residence and knocked on the door.
Seeing Ye Cangtian arrive, Blue Moon let him directly into the room.
Entering the room, Blue Moon poured Ye Cangtian a glass of water and then sat down beside him.
“You looked for me earlier?”
Hearing Ye Cangtian’s voice, Blue Moon nodded and said, “You were taken away by Xing Yuan for so long, I was a little worried, and besides, we should discuss plans to deal with the Radiant Hall.”
“I’m fine, it’s just that while talking with Xing Yuan, he became spirited and insisted on finding me for a drink, and we ended up getting very drunk…”
Ye Cangtian fell silent for a moment after hearing this, ultimately not revealing the truth.
The main reason was that he still hadn’t figured out why Xing Yuan was so reliant on him.
Hmph!
Blue Moon glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian and snorted.
His words were just to fool ghosts.
However, as his subordinate, Blue Moon couldn’t ask too many questions.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian looked at Blue Moon’s expression, sighed, and said, “Senior Sister, the reason I don’t tell you some things is not intentional concealment, but because it’s not the right time. Revealing it prematurely might harm you. I hope you understand.”
“Hmph, I understand.”
Hearing him say this, Blue Moon’s expression softened considerably, and she then said, “Shall we talk about the plan to deal with the Radiant Hall now?”
“No rush.”
Ye Cangtian waved his hand and then said with some embarrassment, “I came to find you today for another matter.”
“Hmm? What is it?”
Blue Moon looked at Ye Cangtian curiously and asked instinctively.
She didn’t understand what could be more important than dealing with the Radiant Hall, as the mission had already been assigned.
Ye Cangtian remained silent for a moment and said, “I have a presumptuous request, I want to see Senior Sister’s Qiankun Bag. Don’t worry, I have no greedy intentions towards any items within…”
Blue Moon was stunned upon hearing this. She still trusted Ye Cangtian’s character.
After a moment, she took out her Qiankun Bag and handed it to Ye Cangtian, then asked, “Are you trying to guess what the Radiant Hall is looking for?”
“That’s right. Last night, I had nothing to do and sorted through the entire matter again, combined with the targets of the Radiant Hall’s operations in the capital.”
“Now I am reasonably sure that what the Radiant Hall is looking for might be in both of our hands.”
“I have already screened my own Qiankun Bag, and there are indeed treasures. Now I just want to see yours and compare them…”
Ye Cangtian nodded and explained.
This matter was urgent. Only by grasping the true objective of the Radiant Hall could they formulate effective action plans against them.
Hearing this, Blue Moon understood everything and pointed to the Qiankun Bag on the table, saying, “This is all my worldly possessions. All the valuable items are in here. Please don’t laugh.”
Laugh?
Ye Cangtian was slightly taken aback, but when he examined Blue Moon’s Qiankun Bag, he finally understood the meaning of that phrase.
