"Next, leave everything to me to handle."

Xuan Yu spoke calmly, "Both of you should refrain from saying anything further, just stand behind me."

"No matter what they say, try your best to endure."

"Remember, when facing life and death, all other matters are trivial."

Xuan Yu knew how to be flexible, but he worried more about the two behind him.

Not only did Xiang Tian adopt a fearless attitude, but Luo Xue was also ready to confront Luoxing Mountain’s people at any moment, which made Xuan Yu feel helpless...

After all, he understood well that, even without Wang Zhan present, Luo Xue’s words still held influence over Xiang Tian.

If Luo Xue were to side with Xiang Tian, things would become much more complicated.

Fortunately, it seemed both of them had listened to him.

Once Xuan Yu had calmed their emotions, he approached the elder, speaking slowly, "I agree with your proposal. We will follow you into the Water Prison, but I hope you will honor your promise and refrain from setting any traps for us."

"Otherwise, when Wang Zhan emerges, you won’t have a good explanation."

Heh...

A disciple beside them crossed his arms, stepping before Xuan Yu. After giving Xuan Yu a disdainful look, he spoke with hostility, "Do you really think Wang Zhan is a god?"

"Don’t forget, this is Luoxing Mountain. Not only is the Domain Master here, but several Elders are also in seclusion on the mountain. Even if that fellow’s strength is impressive and can oppose the Domain Master, how could anyone possibly contend against the Elders together?"

"So, I advise you not to be overly arrogant, lest you end up without a resting place."

Xiang Tian stepped forward, "You..."

However, he hadn’t finished speaking before Xuan Yu’s gaze halted him.

Xiang Tian turned his head to the side, choosing silence, but he had already memorized the disciple’s appearance.

A gentleman’s revenge can wait for ten years.

After everything was discussed and settled, the elder led Xuan Yu and the others into a Water Prison.

This Water Prison is used to imprison those from other Star Domains.

But in recent years, it has rarely been used.

After all, now everyone in the Star Domain is focused on strengthening their own power, so there are fewer conflicts, naturally reducing the need for the Water Prison.

Once Xuan Yu and the others entered, the elder set up a barrier.

He glanced at Xuan Yu and the others, speaking softly, "You’d better fend for yourselves."

With that, he headed toward the distance.

Meanwhile, outside the Water Prison.

All the disciples gathered together.

Subsequently, they began discussing amongst themselves.

"Who would have thought that guy would enter the Water Prison; they probably won’t make it out alive."

"Naturally, with such a terrifying thing inside the Water Prison, how could they possibly handle it?"

"Didn’t you realize, the Elder plans to use them as pawns to kill two birds with one stone? That way, there’s an explanation for the Domain Master, and even if Wang Zhan emerges from the Ice Valley, he likely won’t vent his anger on us."

Everyone joined in the conversation.

Meanwhile, the elder approached them.

Looking coldly at everyone present, he warned, "I advise you to keep your mouths shut and stop gossiping here. If such remarks reach Wang Zhan’s ears, I’ll deal with you impolitely."

Everyone nodded, not daring to speak further.

The elder naturally had his considerations.

He truly didn’t want to give Wang Zhan the chance to confront Luoxing Mountain.

After all, Wang Zhan’s strength is well-known.

Although Luoxing Mountain need not fear Wang Zhan, if Wang Zhan clashes with them, many ordinary disciples of Luoxing Mountain would likely suffer casualties, resulting in no benefit.

Moreover, it might also give the people from Profound Ice Pavilion and Skyfire Mountain an opportunity.

After all, these folks are like predators, eyeing their prey and leaving nothing but bones.

Therefore, caution is necessary.

Rumors are the most troublesome.

Thus, the elder intended to nip these rumors in the bud.

Meanwhile, inside the Water Prison.

Xiang Tian and the other two are dazing in the endless darkness of the Water Prison.

After walking a circle around the area, Xuan Yu’s gaze gradually turned much colder. He stepped in front of the two and then spoke, "It looks like this guy intends to trap us here."

"Trap us here? What kind of joke is this?"

Xiang Tian’s lips instantly revealed a disdainful smile, and he said with his arms crossed, "This Water Prison is merely dark. I believe it won’t be long before Brother Wang emerges from his retreat, and by then, he will find a way to get us out."

"Moreover, even if the Lord of the Star Domain returns, I believe he wouldn’t trouble us much, after all, what he values is Brother Wang’s strength. Plus, I believe Brother Wang has many trump cards of his own, and if it comes to a real fight, perhaps even Dong Tianlei wouldn’t be a match for Brother Wang?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xue simply nodded, showing that he indeed greatly believes in Wang Zhan.

Meanwhile, Xuan Yu shook his head with a bitter smile and then spoke lightly, "You have just arrived here and do not understand anything about this place."

"Do you really think that Dong Tianlei is the strongest here?"

"Actually, the most terrifying are those Elders; their strength far surpasses Dong Tianlei, and reportedly several of these Elders stationed here are powerful, and if they act at once, even if Wang Zhan strikes, he might not benefit at all."

"Therefore, what we are doing now is merely adding trouble to Wang Zhan."

Luo Xue immediately glared at Xiang Tian, then said irritably, "See, all of this is your fault. If it weren’t for you just dueling with that guy, how could it have become such a mess?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian awkwardly laughed, scratched his head, and said, "You can’t blame me entirely, right? And that guy was aggressive; you saw his demeanor, even if I didn’t strike, he’d continue causing us trouble later."

"Since that’s the case, why waste time with him here?"

"Might as well just kill him; that would be more convenient."

Heh...

Xuan Yu’s lips revealed a cold smile.

He even didn’t know where Xiang Tian came from.

Why is his character so aggressive?

Prepared to fight at the drop of a hat.

If they stay here long enough, surely, the entire Luoxing Mountain would turn against them, and if it got to that point, things would be truly disastrous...

Just as Xuan Yu was still contemplating, Xiang Tian walked up to him, bumped his shoulder, and then asked, "You’re not regretting joining us, are you?"

Xuan Yu chuckled bitterly, "Even if I regret it, is there medicine for regret now?"

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have gotten tangled up with you. Clearly, this is a joke with one’s life; I don’t want to die young..."

After all, Dong Tianlei’s power is too strong.

No one knows what might happen next.

For a moment, the atmosphere became much more awkward.

Luo Xue was about to step in to ease things, then she heard a strange sound echoing in her ears.

Immediately afterward, Luo Xue’s expression dramatically changed, she hurriedly approached Xiang Tian and Xuan Yu, positioning herself behind them, then frowned and asked, "Did you hear any strange sounds?"

"Strange sounds?"

Xiang Tian frowned slightly, listened carefully for a long time, but nothing happened.

Looking at Luo Xue beside him, his lips immediately curled into a sneer, "Are you scared to this degree? Is your anxiety making you overly worried?"

"Relax, things haven’t gotten that bad, and even if Dong Tianlei plans to kill me, I’ll find a way to let you two leave, after all, this was my doing, and I’ll bear it myself."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xue said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Have you forgotten what we’ve done before together?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"No matter what, the three of us will never abandon each other, even if Brother Wang isn’t here, I’ll abide by the promises made before, so stop imagining things and let’s handle what’s in front of us first."

"I have a feeling there’s something around us, do you two have the same feeling?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian frowned once again.

At this moment, he dared not joke any further, and proceeded to listen carefully.

Meanwhile, Xuan Yu moved aside, closing his eyes.

Seconds ticked by, and Xuan Yu’s face began to look much worse. He suddenly lifted his hand, sharply striking the water surface beneath his feet, and in an instant, the calm water transformed into a sheet of ice crystal.

All at once, the Water Prison brightened.

Luo Xue stepped to his side, quickly asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Hmm..."

Xuan Yu pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly, "I remembered a legend."

"It’s said that there’s a demonic beast trapped in Luoxing Mountain."

"Most likely, it’s beneath this Water Prison."
