A large door suddenly began to open on the palace’s vast, white stone wall, and a figure slowly emerged from within.
He held a Rubik’s Cube in his hand, which he twisted casually. With each turn, new doors materialized on the massive stone wall, and from each door, a person stepped out.
These people were incredibly powerful. Chen Qingdi took a quick glance and assessed them: five at the First Level of the Guiyuan realm, and ten at the Second Level.
’Including this unfathomable man with the Rubik’s Cube,’ Chen Qingdi thought, ’if I don’t step in, it will be very difficult for Master Hei and the others to fight them on their own.’
However, Chen Qingdi didn’t feel the need to intervene just yet. He decided to wait a little longer.
"And who might you be?"
Master Hei stared grimly at the man twisting the Rubik’s Cube.
Behind the man with the cube, the people who had emerged from the walls now stood in a neat, squarish formation.
The man with the cube had smooth skin. He wore a jacket, a pair of black trousers adorned with strange patterns, and, bizarrely, a chic red scarf. A sinister smile played on his lips.
Ever since he appeared, he had been staring at Chen Qingdi’s group with an unnerving coldness.
In his gaze, Master Hei saw death.
’It looks like this guy has no intention of letting us go.’
’But why only show himself now?’
"I asked you who you are. Do you have a name? Can’t you understand what I’m saying?"
Master Hei demanded coldly.
"Are you asking me? I am Mo Yongchun, the guardian of this Water Palace."
"I am also the Vice Palace Master of the Evil God Hall’s branch here."
"These people behind me are all my subordinates."
"Is everything clear now?"
Mo Yongchun looked at Master Hei and the others with an incredibly cold smile.
"So, you’re the one who lured us in here?"
Master Hei stared coldly at Mo Yongchun.
"Yes."
"I could have just let you die."
"But where’s the fun in that? I’d rather toy with you. Let you perish in a state worse than death."
Mo Yongchun laughed cruelly.
"Hmph. You and what army?"
"You’re only in the Guiyuan realm."
"And you think you can take us on?"
"In your dreams."
Guan Shanyuan roared and drew his personal blade.
Meanwhile, Zhao Tong and the others were all on high alert, as if facing a formidable foe.
Seeing their reactions, Mo Yongchun simply smiled and shook his head.
"I can feel the terror in your hearts."
"Why don’t you all just kneel obediently and submit to me?"
"If you do, perhaps I’ll spare you."
"What do you say? It’s a good deal, isn’t it? A chance to live."
Mo Yongchun chuckled wickedly.
’Mo Yongchun doesn’t look very old, and he’s deliberately concealed his cultivation level. I can’t tell what realm he’s in.’
’However,’ Chen Qingdi estimated, ’he must be above the Guiyuan realm, possibly even in the Master realm.’
’If he is at the Master realm and I don’t intervene, my men will have a very difficult time dealing with him.’
Mo Yongchun’s face was perpetually fixed in the smile of a victor.
’To be honest,’ Chen Qingdi thought, ’I really hate that smile.’
"I don’t like this man. Go teach him a lesson for me."
Chen Qingdi said to Chen Yuan, who was beside him.
"Yes."
Chen Yuan nodded and walked toward Mo Yongchun.
At that moment, someone from Mo Yongchun’s side also stepped forward.
It was Hu Chong, one of Mo Yongchun’s twelve great generals.
Hu Chong was tall and powerfully built, with fists nearly twice the size of an average person’s.
He looked at Chen Yuan with disdain.
Chen Yuan was now at the Second Level of the Guiyuan realm.
Aside from Chen Qingdi, he was the strongest person on their side.
Naturally, Chen Yuan was brimming with confidence.
His opponent, on the other hand, was merely a cultivator who had just stepped into the Guiyuan realm.
Even if the man had some martial arts skills, Chen Yuan didn’t consider him a threat.
In fact, he was completely confident he could defeat his opponent in a very short amount of time.
"You? You’re my opponent?"
Chen Yuan looked at him contemptuously.
"I am more than enough,"
the man replied, glancing coldly at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan, however, appeared calm. In his eyes, dealing with this Hu Chong would be a simple matter.
"Make your move,"
Hu Chong said, watching Chen Yuan coolly.
Chen Yuan didn’t stand on ceremony and attacked at once.
BOOM!
Immense Power surged through his wrist. Chen Yuan opened with a powerful killing blow, leaving Hu Chong no room to retreat.
With a single punch, Hu Chong was sent flying.
After all, one was at the Second Level of the Guiyuan realm, while the other had only just reached the First Level.
Mo Yongchun hadn’t expected to see Hu Chong get blown away by a single punch.
"Are you kidding me, Hu Chong? With your strength, you could only take one punch?"
"That’s just not good enough."
Mo Yongchun glared at Hu Chong and said coldly.
Hu Chong stood to the side, at a loss for words.
It felt as if anything he could say would be pointless.
"Since you built this Water Palace, hurry up and open it. Send us back up."
"We don’t want to stoop to your level."
Murong Fei, having rested for a moment and recovered some strength, stared at Mo Yongchun and spoke.
Continuing to stay here held no advantage for them, so naturally, he wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Haha! Do you think this is a place you can come and go as you please?"
"You will all die!"
Mo Yongchun said, his voice incomparably icy.
"What a joke."
"You think you alone can make us die?"
"You really don’t take us seriously at all, do you?"
Master Hei said angrily.
"Hmph. In that case, I’ll let you have a taste of my Water Palace’s formidable traps."
"I poured a great deal of effort into this underwater palace. It’s even equipped with a lot of modern high-tech."
Mo Yongchun stated cruelly.
"Is that so?"
"I’d like to see just what kind of ’high-tech’ you’ve got."
Master Hei’s eyes burned as he stared at Mo Yongchun, ready to teach the man a lesson at a moment’s notice.
The man was far too arrogant, showing them absolutely no respect.
No one saw what Mo Yongchun did, but with a sudden HUM, a wall of light materialized before them.
The wall of light appeared to be composed of lasers, and behind it stood another, towering wall.
Mo Yongchun and his people had vanished behind the wall of light.
"What’s going on?"
This sudden development left everyone at a loss for what to do.
