Dugu Feng softly said, "Don't blame me for being overly suspicious. In the Nether Sea, only those who are cautious can survive long."

"I wouldn't dare!"

Wang Junze quickly replied, glanced at Dugu Feng's expression, and cautiously asked, "Sir, the people you brought this time, why haven't I seen them before? Are they reliable?"

"These Blood Robe Guards were given to me by the Demon Venerable. Not even Jiao Yang has met them," Dugu Feng replied indifferently. "Their loyalty is beyond doubt!"

Demon Venerable!

This was the first time Wang Junze heard Dugu Feng mention the Demon Venerable, and his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Regarding the Demon Venerable, Wang Junze truly did not dare to ask much, so he could only change the topic, "Has Ji Liuyun submitted? If not, shall I try again?"

As he spoke, Wang Junze deliberately moved his palm towards Ji Liuyun's body again.

In an instant, a trace of fear flashed in Ji Liuyun's eyes, her body shrank back, instinctively trying to get further away from Wang Junze.

"Shut up!"

With a hint of annoyance in her eyes, Dugu Feng coldly said, "Stop your little tricks. I've said she's still useful!"

"Yes, yes!"

Wang Junze quickly agreed.

Wang Junze didn't truly want to take advantage of Ji Liuyun; he was merely trying to maintain his previous image while subtly probing Dugu Feng. Hearing this, he naturally became obedient.

However, as he watched the Netherworld Flying Ship enter the Nether Sea, he couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

Now he couldn't control the Flying Ship; he could only barely discern a general direction and didn't dare to make any extra moves. He couldn't determine where exactly Dugu Feng intended to go. In such circumstances, could the Maiden of the Sea and Yang Hong really continue with the plan?

....

Mirage Island!

The Maiden of the Sea, Yang Hong, and the Mirage Dragon had already gathered together.

"Have you contacted Pei Haoran?"

"I have, Brother Ye has no response. At this point, he hasn't been in touch, which should confirm that the plan has changed. Dugu Feng is likely already at sea."

Yang Hong nodded and replied in a serious tone.

"What do we do now? Should we continue?"

Looking at the two of them, the Mirage Dragon couldn't help but ask.

In the afternoon, when Wang Junze sent a message, they realized the situation was troublesome, rushed over, but still couldn't come to a conclusion. They could only wait for news with a sense of luck.

After all, Wang Junze said in his message that if they guessed wrong, he would promptly contact Pei Haoran. But now, it was undoubtedly the worst outcome.

For the Maiden of the Sea and the Mirage Dragon, the loss wasn't significant; it was merely giving up the plan.

But Yang Hong was reluctant to give up this opportunity to kill the Dragon Turtle and refine the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner Main Soul.

"We can't give up!"

Surprisingly, it wasn't Yang Hong who first spoke, but the Maiden of the Sea.

"The Dragon Turtle's power restored far faster than we had anticipated. If we miss this chance, it might truly recover to the Saint Realm, and then... our only way out would be to completely leave the Nether Sea."

"Moreover, although Brother Ye hasn't said anything, we can guess that this trip to the Li Shang Sword Venerable Mansion is bound to be extremely dangerous. If we don't let Dugu Feng first fight with the Dragon Turtle, Brother Ye's situation will also be very dangerous."

"Plus, we've already put in so much effort. Do you really want to give up like this... are you willing?"

This statement instantly made Yang Hong and the Mirage Dragon fall silent.

Willing?

How could they be!

The benefits from killing the Dragon Turtle are too vast. If there were no opportunity, it would be different. But clearly, there is a chance; how could they bear to give it up!

"Then let's gamble!"

With a determined look in his eyes, Yang Hong said in a deep voice, "Didn't Brother Ye's message already provide a guess?"

"We'll continue according to plan. If it doesn't work... we can at least say we tried!"

"The worst outcome is that we team up to fight the Dragon Turtle again. Even if we're not its match, we should still be able to escape."

As they spoke, their gaze once again fell on the Mirage Dragon.

After all, if the plan fails, the most dangerous one will be the Mirage Dragon. If it doesn't agree, the plan can't be carried out.

"Let's gamble!"

After a silence of over a hundred breaths, the Mirage Dragon finally made a decision.

With a slight turn of her hand, a Sea Chart appeared in the Maiden of the Sea's hand, and she lightly traced it with her finger, landing on a sea area. In a deep voice, she said, "This is it. Based on the time calculation, if our judgment is correct, by daybreak, Dugu Feng and his people will roughly be here. We've now roughly determined the Dragon Turtle's location. Mirage Dragon... if you escape with all your might, how long will it take to reach the designated location?"

"One hour! But, under the Dragon Turtle's pursuit, I can't possibly hold on for that long... if we make a move, we have to first lure the Dragon Turtle east for a while!"

"I'll do it!"

With a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, Yang Hong said in a deep voice, "I'll use the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner to kill nearby individuals. As long as there's enough commotion, the Mirage Dragon will most likely be drawn over. Then, the Mirage Dragon will be responsible for luring away the Mirage Dragon. However, in doing so, I won't be able to reach the designated location immediately, at least trailing by half an hour."

"That's fine. The Dragon Turtle isn't easy to kill. If everything goes smoothly, the time when Dugu Feng fights the Dragon Turtle should be enough for you to make it."

"If it fails, the Mirage Dragon and I will head in your direction to meet up. We should still have time!"

The Maiden of the Sea said in a deep voice.

"Alright, let's do this! We'll set off now and act according to schedule!"

...

"Are you very tense?"

On the Netherworld Flying Ship, Dugu Feng suddenly asked.

Wang Junze, who was originally looking at the sea, was taken aback upon hearing this.

Of course he was tense. Now the Netherworld Flying Ship was completely out of his control, and he didn't dare to look at the Sea Chart. In the middle of the night, he couldn't even determine position, so he subconsciously kept looking outside to confirm the direction. However, these subtle movements were noticed by Dugu Feng.

"A bit."

With a bitter smile, Wang Junze sighed before continuing, "To be honest, Sir, while I was fighting for the Other Shore Flower, I accidentally entered an Ancient Ruins, it could be said I was on the brink of death."

"The Dragon Turtle that's been rampaging through the Nether Sea recently actually escaped from that Ancient Ruins."

"Hmm?"

Hearing Wang Junze's words, surprise flashed in Dugu Feng's eyes.

It wasn't the fact that Wang Junze visited Ancient Ruins that surprised her, but rather that Wang Junze would candidly admit such a thing.

After all, if Wang Junze hadn't mentioned it, she would never have known about this.

Was Wang Junze trying to express his loyalty to her?
