At noon, the Maiden of the Sea arrived, and after waiting for about another hour, Yang Hong also reached Mirage Island.

Mirage Island is not difficult to find; most sea charts have it marked. Of course, as one of the famous deadly places of the Nether Sea, ordinary people would never venture here.

Don't think just because Wang Junze can come here easily, it's not dangerous.

You should know that in the past, the Mirage Dragon, utilizing Mirage Qi, has killed more than one cultivator at the Divine Travel level. For ordinary cultivators, this is indeed a deadly place.

"Indeed, this should have been expected, Mirage Island... Mirage Dragon. Brother Ye truly has a wide circle of friends."

The few gathered again, and Yang Hong lightly chuckled, making a playful remark, clearly in a good mood.

"It seems Brother Yang has gained quite a bit these days!"

Looking at Yang Hong, Wang Junze also smiled and replied.

"Not too bad!" Yang Hong nodded, not concealing anything, explaining, "These days, the Dragon Turtle has been wreaking havoc in the Nether Sea, and I've taken advantage of the situation, picking up quite a bit. The Ten Thousand Spirits Banner is almost completely refined, only lacking a Main Soul."

As a Demon Cultivator, Yang Hong is bloodthirsty and his hands have long been stained with countless blood. Now that he has entered the Divine Travel Realm, he acts without restraint. Ordinary cultivators encountering him have no chance of escaping.

Under normal circumstances, killing too many people would cause some trouble. But now, with the Dragon Turtle in the Nether Sea, if people die, everyone naturally assumes they were killed by the Dragon Turtle. No one notices Yang Hong, which suits his need to refine the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner.

"Do you have a target for the Main Soul?"

The voice of the Maiden of the Sea was somewhat cold, but she still took the initiative to ask.

"Haven't thought of anyone yet; this matter cannot be rushed." Shaking his head, Yang Hong explained, "Let's discuss the main matter. Brother Ye summoned us here; it can't just be to help Pei Haoran buy the Other Shore Flower?"

As they spoke, the Maiden of the Sea also turned her gaze towards Wang Junze. Although she didn't speak, her intentions were clear; she wouldn't refuse if help was needed.

"Indeed, it cannot be hidden from you two."

Wang Junze slightly clasped his hands and didn't seem inclined to conceal anything.

Both Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea are astute individuals. Even Pei Haoran, this chubby fellow, is likely just feigning ignorance. At this point, hiding further would only seem pretentious.

"I have reliable information that Dugu Feng may have information about the Li Shang Sword Venerable Mansion."

Looking at the three, Wang Junze spoke in a deep voice.

"Li Shang Sword Venerable?"

Slightly surprised, Yang Hong quickly reacted, "Are you referring to Li Shang Sword Venerable of the Profound Moon Sword Sect? That person was indeed remarkable, and he stayed in the Nether Sea for a long time... You previously asked Jiao Yang for a disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, was it for this matter?"

When Wang Junze and Jiao Yang made a bet before, many knew about it. But they weren't aware why Wang Junze insisted on having Ji Liuyun, who was a disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect. However, linking it now with Li Shang Sword Venerable, it's easy to understand.

"Correct!"

Nodding, Wang Junze said solemnly, "You all know I'm a Sword Cultivator. If I could obtain the Sword Dao legacy of Li Shang Sword Venerable, the benefits to me would far exceed those from ancient ruins. Therefore, this time, I must fully strive for it."

"Did Dugu Feng tell you the location of Li Shang Sword Venerable's mansion?" The Maiden of the Sea asked in a deep voice.

"How could that be possible!" Shaking his head, Wang Junze explained, "Dugu Feng is naturally suspicious; there's no way she would tell me this. Moreover, she values this matter greatly. I suspect there's likely some significant treasure hidden within the mansion of Li Shang Sword Venerable, which also greatly tempts Dugu Feng."

"Do you plan to act against Dugu Feng? That won't be possible in Netherworld City, but if she steps into the Nether Sea, there might be a chance," The Maiden of the Sea nodded slightly and spoke coldly.

Previously, the Maiden of the Sea wouldn't dare to say such a thing, but now that she has broken through to the Divine Travel Realm, she naturally has the confidence. After all, Dugu Feng is rumored to also just be at the Divine Travel Realm. The truly frightening thing is not her strength but the terrifying power of the Netherworld Mansion and her identity as a Demon Venerable.

"It's not that simple!" Shaking his head, Wang Junze explained in a deep voice, "I brought back the Other Shore Flower for her, and Dugu Feng is now in seclusion. If everything goes as expected, once she exits, she's likely to break through and Enter the Path. If we face her head-on, even if we join forces, we probably won't have much chance of winning."

"Moreover, if Dugu Feng enters the sea, she'll undoubtedly bring a lot of experts with her, making it not easy to deal with."

"And, there's no need for us to become her enemy. After all, I'm currently under her command, and unless absolutely necessary, I don't wish to turn against her."

Even now, Wang Junze wouldn't easily reveal his true intentions.

Even though they've experienced life and death together once, it would be truly foolish to divulge everything. Wang Junze couldn't fully trust them.

"Then what do you mean?"

Slightly furrowing his brows, Yang Hong asked confusedly.

If it's not to make a move against Dugu Feng, why did he come to them? It couldn't be that he plans to have them all enter the mansion of Li Shang Sword Venerable together, right? With Dugu Feng's domineering nature, she'd rather fight them first than allow outsiders to enter together.

"Dragon Turtle!"

Slowly uttering these two words, Wang Junze replied in a deep voice, "Recently, the Dragon Turtle has been constantly devouring various demon races and cultivators, surely to recover its injuries. The Dragon Turtle now is already formidable enough; if it truly restores its realm... none of us will likely enter the Nether Sea again!"

"It's difficult for us alone to kill the Dragon Turtle, but what if we could find an opportunity... to make Dugu Feng face off against the Dragon Turtle?"

This suggestion caused everyone's hearts to skip a beat.

If Dugu Feng truly breaks through and enters the path, plus with their assistance, they might really be able to kill the Dragon Turtle. Even deeper thought, even if Dugu Feng ends up dying, it wouldn't be a bad thing!

"Borrowing the knife to kill, it's a good idea, but... why would Dugu Feng voluntarily confront the Dragon Turtle?" the Maiden of the Sea asked.

"You mentioned it yourself, Dugu Feng is entering the Nether Sea for Li Shang Sword Venerable's mansion. Even if she encounters the Dragon Turtle, she'll likely choose to avoid it instead of engaging it." Shaking her head, the Maiden of the Sea continued, "Moreover, the Nether Sea is so vast, letting her stumble upon the Dragon Turtle is not easy."

"Where there's a will, there's a way. Since we know Dugu Feng will enter the Nether Sea, there must be a way."

Looking at the three, Wang Junze slowly said, "The Dragon Turtle harbors a deep hatred for me. As long as we create a coincidence, using me as bait, the Dragon Turtle will surely launch an attack. By then, we might have a chance to lure Dugu Feng to strike!"

"Don't forget, the Dragon Turtle, as a Saint Realm Demon King, is a treasure trove itself. If there's a chance to kill it, Dugu Feng wouldn't want to pass it up either."
