“What was that?” Liu Kan asked with a pale face. Even a Tenth Level combatant was still a person. There would inevitably be fear in the face of the unknown.

“It might be some kind of demon,” Qiu Ying answered. He was a top Tenth Level combatant and had particularly acute perception. He had felt that there was something strange in the water, which was why he did not enter it. Seeing Liu Kan and the others this frightened, he was secretly glad that he was wise enough not to go into the water.

Liu Kan and Liu Xun glanced at Qiu Ying’s back in resentment but said nothing.

“We’ll just keep watch from here. I don’t believe that Ye Chen won’t have to surface eventually.” Liu Xun was angered. The ones who had died earlier were top Ninth Level combatants and Mentor Qin was from the Second-Prince’s Palace. Of course he would be distressed!

“We were ambushed by that demon despite only being in the water for a while. Ye Chen may have already been eaten as a long time has passed since he plunged into the water,” the remaining guards said, frightened. They would not enter the water again even if they had to die.

“Ye Chen was seriously injured and drifted for so long but wasn’t eaten by the demon. Could it be that he’s not afraid of the demon?” Qiu Ying frowned.

“Maybe he has a treasure that deters the demons from approaching him?” Liu Kan guessed.

They stared at the river. The water’s surface gradually restored its calmness and no one emerged even after a long time.

“He should still be alive.” Qiu Ying’s eagle-like eyes stared at the river. He could feel the energy around him. Although he had guessed that Ye Chen was still alive, the energy was too messy and the water was deep, so he did not know Ye Chen’s exact position. He thought to himself that this Ye Chen boy had a lot of tricks up his sleeve to be able to stay underwater for so long.

The group of people stayed behind Qui Ying, pacing back and forth the riverbank.

Deep in the bottom of the river, after Ye Chen had used the Water God Technique, he found that he did not need to breathe in the water at all. His skin continuously exchanged oxygen with the water, enabling him to swim freely in the water like a fish. He was aware of the group of demons swimming nearby but he had his Astral Body protecting him, so those demons did not dare to approach Ye Chen at all.

Ye Chen had watched in horror as two of Qiu Ying’s men had been devoured by the demon. If not for his Astral Body, he would end up the same way as them and gotten devoured by those demons.

As for Little Tanuki, it gripped tightly onto Ye Chen’s shoulder. It was not very good at swimming and had been holding onto Ye Chen the entire time. When Ye Chen had distributed a portion of the Celestial Chi from the Water God Technique into its body, it no longer had to worry about suffocation. It looked around curiously with wide eyes. This was most likely its first time diving.

Ye Chen knew that Qiu Ying and the others on the riverbank would not leave for some time, so he might as well sink to the deepest bottom of the river, go along the river, and wait until Qiu Ying and the others were far away from him. The bottom of the river was extremely dark and vision was poor so Ye Chen swept it with his Astral Body. The scene at the bottom of the river shocked him.
