Soon, two figures appeared. They were walking leisurely in the air as if they were just strolling in a park.

These two figures were Jin Rou and Stronghold Ancient.

The moles couldn't help but reveal a frowning expression. Their instincts were telling them that something out of their plan was going to happen if this continued.

”I see... How amazing. Beasts that are capable of speech. Isn't that terrifying?” Stronghold Ancient had watched in the sidelines for long now so they knew what had transpired. And indeed, he couldn't help but be amazed with this fact, ”Not to mention that, you guys are also Ancients? Not full-fledged though.”

”So you are the famous and one of the three strongest Ancients of Starlight, Stronghold Ancient.” The mole beast's expression turned serious. Compared to Woodrain Ancient, the vibe and aura Stronghold Ancient was giving was dense and stronger and more dangerous, ”Indeed, you are worthy of praise compared to this junior of yours.”

The three strongest Ancients of Starlight were the apex imperial cultivators that were capable of slaying an Ethereal alone. Take note, Ethereals were far stronger than Ancients. So what if an Ancient could kill one?

That's a great feat that an Ancient could attain. As he was entitled to use the word ”Strong” in his dao name.

After all, who are bold enough to add Strong in their dao name knowing the fact that there's an unsaid rule that no one had the right to add the ”Strong” in their dao name unless they also had slain an Ethereal?

Of course, there were people who tried but what did they get? They were crippled to be at best or killed when at worst.

Thus, the mole beasts' expressions were founded. They were facing a being capable of killing Ethereals.

”I thank you for the compliment, then.” Stronghold Ancient chuckled, ”So I heard that you are here for our dao lake? I'm sorry but our dao lake is very precious to our grounds so giving it to anybody isn't going to happen.”

This graceful and calm bearing of Stronghold Ancient was like a feast in everyone's eyes. How could he talk in such a way? It was like he was an amicable old man talking to a stranger out of kindness.

”We don't care about that.” The mole beast scowled, ”We are here because of the order of the King. So, we will do everything to get the dao lake of your grounds.”

”I don't care, too, about the orders of your so-called King.” Stronghold Ancient smiled, ”You are trespassing our territory and being a threat to us so we have all the rights to defend and annihilate all of you.”

”Of course, if you have the capability, I have nothing to say.” The mole beast sinisterly laughed, ”If we die here, it just means that we are weak and isn't it the rule of this world?”

”Commendable words.” Stronghold Ancient clapped his hands and praised, ”Though you guys won't get anything and waste your lives here, I still commend your courage and all.”
