"No!!"

"The Water Palace is mine! The Water Palace is mine!"

"This is mine! I will kill anyone who dares to steal it, except for the five of us!"

Old Chen roared to the sky, madly resentful.

"Stay here!"

"We'll stay here!"

"Even if he goes in, he will come out!"

"Alright, alright..."

"Just treat him as a tool to help us get opportunities! When he comes out, we will take everything!"

Old Chen tried his best to calm himself down and uttered these words hoarsely.

The eyes of the other four people suddenly brightened slightly, as if hope was rekindled.

"What if... I mean, what if we are not this person's opponent?"

Suddenly, one of them said vigilantly.

"If that's the case! If we get nothing and are killed, then the backup plan I left behind will work. Everything I saw before I died will be spread to a certain place and announced to the world immediately. Everyone will know that someone has occupied a brand new opportunity in the Water Palace and knows its appearance. Then what will be waiting for him at that time?"

"Humph! No one can get what we can't get! The worst case scenario is that we will die together!"

Lao Chen looked like a madman.

Obviously, he really left a backup plan just in case.

The other four people were slightly shocked when they heard this, and they were even more afraid of Lao Chen, but things had come to this point. They were also vested interests, and the worst outcome was that they would die together. There was still hope, so they didn't say anything more at this moment.

"Start making arrangements!"

"Wait for this person to die!"

"Once he comes out, I want him to be unable to live or die!"

As Lao Chen roared, the five people began to make arrangements frantically, turning the front of the Water Palace into a trench.

Waiting for the gate of the Water Palace to open again, and then intercept and kill people! !

In the Water Palace.

At this moment, Ye Wuque naturally didn't know that Lao Chen and the other five had unexpectedly returned and had discovered that the Water Palace had been taken by someone before them.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He was just taking precautions and didn't want to cause any trouble.

At this moment, his footsteps had already stopped.

At the end of the dark passage, a flash of an ancient door appeared, tightly closed, and there was no surging on it.

Ye Wuque's mind moved, and a burst of power burst out. With a bang, the tightly closed door suddenly opened inward!

An empty room like a secret room appeared in front of him!

But the next moment, Ye Wuque's eyes were slightly condensed.

Standing outside the door, he could clearly see that at the end of the secret room, there was an ancient stone platform, on which a withered figure was sitting quietly!

The moment Ye Wuque looked over, he immediately met a pair of brilliant and sharp eyes! !

Ye Wuque narrowed his eyes slightly!

But he did not act rashly.

Because those brilliant and sharp eyes were just... dead silent!

The face of this sitting cross-legged figure was covered by messy hair, only a pair of eyes were exposed, but they had long lost any spirit.

He had no breath.

Dry and motionless.

At a glance, without even using the power of the soul to perceive, Ye Wuque knew that it was a corpse left behind after an unknown period of time.

The messy dry hair fell down, covering the face, but the clothes on the body, although covered with dust, could still be vaguely distinguished as very gorgeous.

This means that this person's identity was definitely not low before his death.

"Die with eyes open..."

Ye Wuque said, and looked at the eyes of the corpse again, proving his final fate.

And the reason why it was still bright and brilliant, and at first glance it was still bright and energetic, was that he was a... Dark Star Realm Great Perfection!

Only when the soul attainments are strong to a certain level, will the divine light still be restrained after death, condensed and not dispersed.

But in this person's frozen and dead eyes, Ye Wuque did not see any fear, unwillingness, or resentment.

Instead, there was a hint of… relief, pride, casualness, and emotion?

Such eyes were very strange and complex.

And this person, as expected, was the creator of the secret treasure of the alien beast holding a pearl, and was also the owner of this water palace.

But Ye Wuque didn't expect that he would eventually fall here.

"That is..."

The next moment, Ye Wuque's eyes suddenly lit up!

I saw that on the stone platform in front of the sitting corpse, two things were quietly placed on the left and right.

On the left, there was a piece of ancient jade slip with a strange shape.

On the right, there was a square, dark golden treasure box about the size of four palms.

The location of these two things was obviously the relic that this person deliberately left here before his death, for the destined person.

But Ye Wuque didn't rush over here immediately, but his mind moved, and a ray of soul power surged out, shaking the void.

Buzz! !

Immediately, a soul light curtain appeared in the empty void, as if it was activated, and the void was jumping!

This soul light curtain was obviously left by this corpse.

Two lines of words appeared on the soul light curtain!

"Those who enter with the core hub of the Water Palace, 'Heaven Swallowing Roar', if their soul cultivation does not reach the 'Great Perfection of the Dark Star Realm', please return the same way, and the 'Heaven Swallowing Roar' can be used as compensation."

"The relics I left behind can only be granted to... the Great Perfection of the Dark Star Realm."

These two simple sentences revealed a touch of cruelty.

Ye Wuque also showed a strange look in his eyes.

The things left by the owner of the Water Palace were only for the Great Perfection of the Dark Star Realm?

Those who cannot reach the Great Perfection of Dark Star Realm can only return the same way after coming here, and can only take the pearl of the strange beast named "Tuntianhou" as a compensation gift.

It is indeed quite cruel!

This can't help but remind him of Lao Chen and the other five people outside just now.

Now it seems that even if they get the Tuntianhou and come in, they will probably get nothing.

No one would be willing to do

that! But if they force their way in?

A ray of soul power overflowed again, passing through the soul light curtain, and the soul light curtain was instantly shattered, and three flame lamps appeared directly in the void.

The farthest third one is just in front of the two relics on the stone platform.

Under Ye Wuque's perception, it can be found that these three flame lamps are directly related to the self-destruction restriction of the entire water palace.

Once a living being forces its way in, it will explode directly, destroying the entire water palace.

Similarly!

These three flame lamps have another use, that is... inspection!

"The owner of this water house is really cautious. He left three flame lamps to confirm whether the visitor is a Dark Star Realm Great Perfection!"

"He cares so much..."

"It seems that he only wants to give the relics he left behind to the Dark Star Realm Great Perfection of the same level as himself?"

With a flickering gaze, Ye Wuque walked directly towards the first flame lamp.

Buzz!

The moment he approached!

The first flame lamp actually slowly cracked, and a strange wave spread out and rushed towards Ye Wuque.

At the same time, the entire water house trembled violently!

The self-destruction restriction has actually been activated!

"The first flame lamp is used to detect whether it is a Dark Star Realm Great Perfection..."

After a sweep of the power of the soul, Ye Wuque understood it.

Naturally, he did not hesitate and injected a wisp of his soul power directly into the cracked flame lamp.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Immediately, changes appeared!
