”Fine, follow me!”

After some thought, the Lone Silence Ancestor nodded, and then he swam forward like a big fish.

Splashsplash! As the two began to move, the splash of water came from behind them.

Bzzzz! Electricity seemed to arc through the bodies of the pair as they trembled in shock and glanced at each other with grave looks in their eyes.

The waters of this underground river were extremely cold, and most importantly, unlike the rivers of the surface, they were extremely calm. The only sound was that of its flow, and there would not be any splashes unless an external object entered.

”Someone's come in!” Wang Chong sternly said, his straight brows creasing.

This underground river was not at all easy to discover. If there was one way to get in this place, it was moving aside the mountain-shaped incense burner and finding the passage beneath it.

”I wonder who it could be?”

The Lone Silence Ancestor frowned, a pensive look in his eyes.

”These people are coming for us!”

Wang Chong shook his head. The Lone Silence Ancestor might not have had the proper perspective to determine if these were friend or foe, but Wang Chong was sure that it was the men in black. Only they would have the reason to doggedly pursue him, finding him no matter where he fled.

Moreover, the passage into this river was precisely in the palace guarded by the fifth-generation successor. The incense burner covering the passage had probably been destroyed during the battle, allowing the men in black to find the passage and realize what was going on.

There was only one passage, but the men in black had not found him despite so closely pursuing him. It was very easy to connect the dots.

Splash!

As he conversed with the Lone Silence Ancestor, an even louder splash came from behind him. The other party was beginning to swim toward them at astonishing speed.

”Run!”

The Lone Silence Ancestor's eyes narrowed as he pulled on Wang Chong and swam forward.

Several hundred meters behind them, several powerful figures were swimming through the river like dragons, getting closer and closer to Wang Chong's position.

These people were shrouded completely in black robes, leaving only their eyes exposed, and they exuded a mysterious aura.

Wang Chong's guess had been correct. The ones behind them truly were the men in black.

”Hurry! Search this place from end to end! There's only one underground river, and there's no way for them to escape. No matter what, we have to capture that brat!

”The Origin Immortal Village Chief is already in the hands of our lord. Only that foul brat is left! If we can't complete the mission, you all know what will happen!” the third bamboo hat man coldly said, his voice transmitted through Psychic Energy to the men in black behind him.

”Yes! Milord!” everyone replied in unison.

The third bamboo hat man quickly focused his gaze up ahead.

Roooar!

Water gathered around the bamboo hat man, shrouding him as he transformed into a serpent dragon some ten meters long.

Only now did the third bamboo hat man reveal that he also possessed a formidable Water Element art.

Bang!

In a spray of water, the third bamboo hat man summoned raging waves to push himself and the men in black around him to go faster and faster.

While his strength might have been limited in the caves, in the water, not only was he not weakened, he actually became stronger.

”Kid, you can't escape!”

The bamboo hat man's eyes flashed with sharp light as he charged forward.

”So fast!”

Wang Chong and the Lone Silence Ancestor instantly sensed what was going on behind them, and their minds were shaken.

”Let's go!”

A bright light gleamed in the Lone Silence Ancestor's eyes, and a moment later, the pair began to swim even faster. But unlike the sound and fury behind them, the pair moved without a sound, the water parting before them so as to reduce the resistance they faced.

And as the Lone Silence Ancestor pulled Wang Chong forward, Wang Chong could sense that they were both being dragged forward by an enormous pull in the water itself.

This pull seemed completely natural and inconspicuous, but the power behind it was far greater than the third bamboo hat man's serpent dragon.

As Wang Chong spread out his Psychic Energy, he sensed that a massive three-pronged trident had appeared in the river ahead them, ten-some meters long and formed from the river waters.
