1440 Netherys Danger (2/2)

Of course, he knew the princes as well. Although none of these princes was the crown prince, they were still quite powerful. After all, the power of the imperial family trumped that of everyone else. This time, he had invited the fifth prince.

The prince had taken a fancy of that girl, but Mo Hen did not mind. All he wanted was her power. How could he offend the fifth prince for a girl when there were so many beautiful girls out there? In his heart, however, he despised the lustful fifth prince.

Among all the princes of the imperial family, the fifth prince was the most ignorant and incompetent. His imperial siblings were all cultivating hard so that they could fight the crown prince, and he was the only one who indulged in women.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

A bell was rung at the top floor of the guest house. Mo Hen's face grew serious. He went up to the top floor, stood there, and overlooked the rippling lake. He was a little excited, for what he had been looking forward to for a long time was finally beginning to happen.

Mo Hen's talent in cultivation was just ordinary, but it was because of his business talent that he was able to have his current position in the family. However, this kind of business talent could not get him too far, and it could not further elevate his position.

Therefore, he planned to open a new path for himself. Over the years, while running the family business, he had been studying a method of transferring the power of those talented people into his body. After spending countless source stones and manpower, the research was finally completed.

His talent was about to be changed, and his position would certainly soar. He would soon become the most powerful man in the Mo Family!

Mo Hen's eyes were full of excitement, while the guests around him all turned to look at the lake.

Suddenly, the man-made lake began to ripple. Then, with a rumble, it cracked from the middle as if someone had cut it with a knife. The water poured down like waterfalls from the opening, filling the air with a thunderous noise.

All the guests looked at the scene in horror. It was scary but beautiful at the same time.

Rumble!

A huge array emerged from under the lake. It was carved there at Mo Hen's order when the lake was being made. He had found the array in an ancient book, which was a means stripped from a kind of savage monster and could be used to absorb other people's power and talent.

Although the contents of the ancient book were mostly unreadable, the array was still very clear. No matter what, Mo Hen had to give it a try.

Very soon, the water in the lake began to spin, forming an array. The spectacular scene attracted the attention of countless people. All of a sudden, a cage slowly rose from the opening in the middle of the lake. Everyone paused and turned abruptly to look at it.

A girl wearing a black dress was locked up in the cage. Her hair was long, and her eyes looked cold, which made her look like a proud and indifferent fairy from beyond the skies. No one could find any flaw in her beautiful face.

The fifth prince was stunned as he watched. The wine glass in his hand slipped from his grip and fell to the floor, spilling all the wine inside. ”Beautiful… She's too beautiful!”

All the guests were amazed, too. They thought that few girls in the capital could compare with her beauty.

The cage was made of ancient dark iron, which was extremely tough. Although the beautiful girl's aura was strong, she was only a Demigod, and the cage had sealed the power in her, turning her powerless like an ordinary girl.

Mo Hen bolted out of the guest house, rushed up to the top floor, grabbed the railing, and fixed his eyes on Nethery at the center of the lake. There was a ferocious and eager smile on his face!

Er Ha and Bu Fang stood on a small trail beside the lake, looking at Nethery trapped in the cage at the center of the lake. Their eyes were flickering. Suddenly, they heard a rumbling sound, and then their pupils constricted at the same time.

…

The array began to rotate. Mo Hen took a step forward and landed hard in front of the cage like a meteorite, causing the water to splash. He stared at Nethery as a cold smile brushed his lips.

”It has begun! Everything you own will be mine!” Mo Hen laughed excitedly.

As the array rotated, two beams of black light shot out of it. Nethery was immediately enveloped by the black energy. A tearing pain shot through her, and her face turned extremely pale in an instant.
