"Hmph!"
Ye Cangtian snorted upon hearing this and said irritably, "Didn't I tell you to be careful of Shen Bingyang and Hu Lifeng? Why did you still get poisoned!"
Ye Cangtian understood the strength of the Black Ink Ice Wave Flood Dragon. Although powerful, it was still very difficult to defeat Yi Feipeng.
Yet, Yi Feipeng was forced to burn his life force and was almost killed by it. This was definitely due to the suppression of the poison within his body, which affected his strength!
But he had clearly warned the other party, yet they still got poisoned, which puzzled him greatly!
Yi Feipeng's old face reddened, and he then said, "I personally ordered the incineration of the poisons from the Five Poisons Sect. I didn't expect anyone to hoard them privately, so I became very careless with my diet..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian glared at him and said, "You're lucky this time. However, you consumed a Heaven-Defying Grade pill from the Hidden Group, so you must compensate. You'll need to send some divine grade medicinal herbs later!"
"Alright, alright, no problem."
Yi Feipeng nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. He knew Ye Cangtian was not stingy, otherwise, he wouldn't have taken out the Heavenly Machine Pill so readily.
Moreover, the other party had saved his life, so he wouldn't hesitate to pay a higher price than a few herbs.
On the other side, seeing that the other party had agreed, Ye Cangtian said, "By the way, I've crippled Shen Bingyang and Hu Lifeng. I'm just giving you a heads-up."
Yi Feipeng nodded and said, "I know about this. Hu Lifeng died in the瘴气腐地. I was planning to bring Shen Bingyang back for the楼主 to punish, but Shen Bingyang died in the sea..."
After all, the Mustard Seed Space was fraught with peril. Even Yi Feipeng had a near-death experience, let alone Shen Bingyang and the other two who had no cultivation.
However, regarding Ye Cangtian crippling the two, Yi Feipeng expressed that they deserved it. The Gale Tower would not only not pursue the matter but would also thank Ye Cangtian for his righteous intervention.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian slowly nodded and then said, "You should focus on recovering first, and try to regain your strength before landing..."
Report!
Before Ye Cangtian could finish speaking, a report came.
The next moment, Geng Chao walked into the cabin and came before Ye Cangtian, saying, "Lord Ye, an island has been discovered ahead..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian quickly walked out of the cabin and onto the deck.
Looking from afar, there was indeed a faint island ahead. The summit of the island was topped with a touch of black, eerie light, making it look very sinister.
As they drew closer to the island, the warships around the island became increasingly clear.
There were a total of seven warships, all bearing traces of battle.
It was obvious that they had gone through battles, big and small, on their journey. Fortunately, they had all endured.
A moment later, Ye Cangtian's warship also reached the shore.
His gaze swept across the shore, revealing scenes of bloodstains and wreckage everywhere, proving that a great and fierce battle had also occurred here.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but worry. He quickly rushed towards the mountain forest on the island with Geng Chao.
The people from other factions, seeing this, didn't bother to rest or collect the fallen, and quickly followed.
They reached the mountain summit without encountering any danger.
At the summit stood a dark and terrifying grand hall.
From the outside, the hall looked dilapidated, weathered by the years, but this did not diminish its original majestic presence.
Especially since the hall was shrouded in a black halo, which brought a great psychological pressure.
Because of this, people from all factions stopped in their tracks.
The path ahead was fraught with danger, and they had to be in the best condition before daring to proceed further.
"Boss!"
As Ye Cangtian was about to gather some information, a voice called out. Turning his head, he saw the members of the Death Squad had arrived beside him.
Seeing Tai Shan, Ci Dao, Wu Ying Jian, Qiang Wei, and Yao Bao'er all before him, Ye Cangtian felt a sense of relief.
"It's good that you're all here!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Qiang Wei and then asked, "Have you seen the people from Yulong Villa?"
Qiang Wei nodded and said, "Yuan Hao and Hong Liu are recuperating in the temporary camp. Chen Gong died; it was the people from Feiyun Pavilion who attacked them..."
Qiang Wei stated that after landing on the island, Feiyun Pavilion completely dropped their pretense and attacked other factions at every opportunity, causing heavy casualties.
What was most infuriating was that although Qiang Wei and the others knew Feiyun Pavilion was the perpetrator, they had no proof. Feiyun Pavilion did not act directly, but rather manipulated people from other factions.
Furthermore, their attacks were extremely brutal, leaving no survivors.
It could be said that Yuan Hao and Hong Liu were the only survivors, and they were quite lucky to have encountered Qing Yan Lou Zhu in the mountain forest.
It was also because of Qing Yan's presence that the people from Feiyun Pavilion retreated.
"Hehehe..."
Listening to Qiang Wei's words, Ye Cangtian clenched his fists, making a clinking sound.
He desperately controlled his anger. These parasites from Feiyun Pavilion were truly despicable.
It was just that they had encountered too few of them along the way, otherwise, so many people wouldn't have been harmed by them.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian looked at Qiang Wei and continued, "What's the situation with the other factions?"
"The remaining members of Liehuo Yuan and Yan Yu Lou are less than half. The people from Jifeng Tower are also few in number, and many factions have been wiped out, such as Huangshan and Tianyuan Sect."
"Similarly, this is not only due to the monsters on the island but also the handiwork of Feiyun Pavilion."
Qiang Wei gave a general overview of the situation. Looking at Ye Cangtian's cold face, she continued, "Now, all the factions combined are just these people in front of you."
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian glanced at the camp areas of various factions. From the number of tents, he had a rough idea.
The casualties were indeed considerable. The original team of several thousand was now estimated to be no more than a thousand at best.
However, the real danger was yet to come, and it was uncertain how many would truly return in the end.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian's gaze fell upon the Feiyun Pavilion's camp. After a long period of hesitation, he finally returned to his own camp.
He really wanted to seek an explanation for Chen Gong's death right now, but the problem was that so many factions had suffered in silence, and they had all endured it.
This clearly indicated they were waiting to see who would step forward, perhaps with the idea of profiting from the situation.
Therefore, after much deliberation, Ye Cangtian ultimately held back. As the saying goes, there's no rush to settle accounts; they would be settled sooner or later.
Returning to his camp, Ye Cangtian inquired about Yuan Hao and Hong Liu's condition.
They had already taken the Nine Heavens Life Continuation Pill, and their injuries were almost healed.
There was still some residual medicinal effect in their bodies, and they would regain consciousness soon.
Ye Cangtian nodded at this. Just as he was about to say something, two sets of footsteps sounded.
Turning his head, he saw Ye Zheng Hao and Yan Biao walking in.
Ye Zheng Hao was full of anger and went straight to Ye Cangtian, "Brother, Feiyun Pavilion is simply too arrogant! Our Liehuo Yuan and Jifeng Tower have suffered considerable losses. We cannot let this revenge go unpunished!"
Ye Zheng Hao had also heard that Ye Cangtian had arrived, so he specifically came to discuss matters.
He did not hide his purpose, which was to join forces with Ye Cangtian to deal with Feiyun Pavilion before entering the grand hall.
Firstly, it was to avenge their fallen disciples.
Secondly, it was to prevent Feiyun Pavilion from causing further chaos and greater casualties later on.
"Zheng Hao, Yulong Villa also suffered casualties. I understand how you feel, but now is not the time."
Ye Cangtian looked at Ye Zheng Hao and continued, "Have you considered why the other factions have not reacted to Feiyun Pavilion's actions?"
"Why?"
Ye Zheng Hao was too lazy to think and directly asked.
Ye Cangtian explained simply.
For smaller factions, they could not afford to offend Feiyun Pavilion, so they could only choose to wait.
Anyone who dared to act against Feiyun Pavilion would undoubtedly be powerful. Once they made a move, it was likely they would both be weakened, giving these factions an opportunity to compete for the final treasures.
As for the stronger factions, it was extremely disadvantageous to act against Feiyun Pavilion now.
The monsters in the later stages were becoming increasingly powerful. If they were to die here due to conflict with Feiyun Pavilion, it would be an even greater loss.
Moreover, they understood the principle of "when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits."
This...
After Ye Cangtian's explanation, Ye Zheng Hao's expression changed rapidly. He had to admit that Ye Cangtian's words were very reasonable.
With this thought, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll listen to you. We'll endure Feiyun Pavilion for now and settle the score with them after we leave the Mustard Seed Space!"
