Chapter 60

"Hey, you fools, don't split up, your Grandpa Zhan is here." Just as the three people outside the palace were laughing triumphantly by the shore, a clear voice suddenly came from the sky, followed by a figure plummeting like a cannonball, landing on the pond surface at a speed that was too fast to be covered by the sound of a bell.

This sudden event left everyone around somewhat stunned. It wasn't until the figure collided with the white lotus, and the five white light balls that flew out of the lotus had already entered the mouth of the person who fell, and what made everyone even more surprised was that the petals of the lotus quickly flew to his side and stuck to his body.

"Damn, what's wrong with the rope?" The person who fell said in confusion, then with a splash, he fell into the deep pond, a huge wave rising up, and he sank instantly.

The people on the shore were instantly stunned. Everything happened too quickly, and they didn't even know what was going on. It wasn't until a moment later that Bu Changdan and Gong Wailiu finally reacted, both shouting in pain: "Bakayarou, no, my Soul Fusion Water!"

"Ha ha... You few despicable people, no matter how many calculations you made, you didn't expect someone to drop from the sky, right? The treasures of heaven and earth are for those who are destined to have them. Why haven't you understood this after cultivating for so long?" As the two were shouting, Hu Zhentian finally burst out laughing nearby.

"Turns out it was you, old man. Tell us, who was that person just now?" The three of them turned to look at him upon hearing Hu Zhentian's words.

"Hmph... Do you think everyone is as despicable as you? I, Hu Zhentian, have already shown my abilities, how could I arrange for someone else? Besides, who doesn't know that the Yin Pond is a place of certain death?" Hu Zhentian glared at the two with disdain.

"Old man, you still won't admit it. We never thought you would pretend to be noble on the surface but be more sinister than any of us behind the scenes. You are truly despicable," the three seemed to completely disbelieve Hu Zhentian's words, looking at him with even more hatred.

"Whether you believe me or not, I, Hu Zhentian, have a clear conscience. But it's a pity that the young man fell into the Yin Pond. Sigh... Is this the will of heaven?" Hu Zhentian shook his head and looked at the calm pond surface, feeling a deep sense of loss.

"What nonsense about a clear conscience? You are clearly willing to do anything to achieve your goals. Today, the major cultivation forces will execute you on the spot," after a while, Gong Wailiu could no longer hold back his anger and roared.

"Yes, execute him on the spot, kill him," Bu Changdan and Larong Gerenchi also shouted loudly.

The people from various factions around them also turned to look at Hu Zhentian, knowing that a fierce battle was likely to break out soon.

"You few despicable people, now that you can't get the spiritual object, you actually want to harm me, and you even come up with such fake reasons. How ridiculous. But I tell you, if you dare to kill me today, the Chinese cultivation forces will never let you off," Hu Zhentian's face changed slightly upon hearing their words, seemingly not expecting the situation to escalate to this point.

"Hmph... Hu Zhentian, today we will kill all the people from your Chinese cultivation forces. Just watch and see. Die!" As Bu Changdan and the others spoke, they began to gather energy, white light emanating from their bodies, and Hu Zhentian's face showed fear. He really didn't want to die, especially such a meaningless death, but his energy was sealed, and he had no way to defend himself.

"Ha ha ha, I, Zhan Yi, am finally not dead. That's great." Just as the three were about to reach the peak of their energy and Hu Zhentian was closing his eyes to await death, a huge splash of water rose from the Yin Pond, and a naked figure emerged from the water, laughing loudly, drawing everyone's attention.

The one standing on the water was Zhan Yi. It turned out that when he saw the Soul Fusion Water appear in the strange lotus and float on the water surface, he had Mo Lin push him down with all his might. He planned to get the Soul Fusion Water and then have Lu Hu pull him up using the rope tied to his leg.

However, he didn't expect that as soon as he fell, the five light balls formed by the Soul Fusion Water flew directly into his mouth, and the lotus petals stuck to his body, even breaking the rope on his feet.

Then he fell straight into the Yin Pond, and the lotus petals entered his body. Suddenly, it seemed as if countless cold energies in the Yin Pond began to converge into his body, and the vortex in his mind appeared, absorbing all the energy.

All of this seemed to happen in an instant, leaving Zhan Yi no time to react. It wasn't until the energy in the Yin Pond was completely absorbed that some information appeared in his mind: Soul Fusion Water, Yin Lotus, the coldest and most yin energy in the world, purifies soul energy, calms the lotus heart, obtained by those who are destined, from now on, no fear of water, and protected by cold energy, remember, remember.

Zhan Yi didn't know what the information in his mind meant, but he felt his body seemed stronger than before, and the soul energy in his body seemed more refined. However, he didn't have time to think much about it before he emerged from the Yin Pond to the surface.

But after he jumped around on the surface for a while, he suddenly noticed that everyone around was looking at him with strange eyes. He couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then he looked down at himself and his face turned red. It turned out that his clothes had disappeared at some point, and he was now standing naked in front of everyone, especially his exposed lower body, which was standing firm, as if in defiance, making him quickly shout to the people around him: "Damn, don't look, turn around quickly."

The people on the shore reacted to Zhan Yi's words, especially the female cultivators, who blushed and turned away, while the male cultivators looked down at their own crotches, their faces showing embarrassment.

However, Gong Wailiu, Bu Changdan, and Larong Gerenchi quickly reacted. They never expected Zhan Yi to survive after falling into the Yin Pond, and seeing him standing on the water so calmly, as if it were flat ground, they were momentarily stunned, and blurted out: "You... didn't die."

"Of course not, why would I die? I just don't know what you three want to say to me now," Zhan Yi blinked his big eyes and asked in a matter-of-fact tone, but in his heart, he was cursing, "F*ck, these bastards, they were hoping I would die as soon as I came up. They are really not human."

"Ha ha... It's good that you didn't die. Was it this old man who made you jump down? Tell us, and we will help you kill him," the three looked at each other after hearing Zhan Yi's words, and Bu Changdan said slowly.

"Of course not, I don't even know him. I fell down by accident while defecating at the cliff edge. Do you believe me? Ha ha..." Zhan Yi laughed loudly after hearing Bu Changdan's words.

"Mr., don't worry, just tell us the truth. Don't be afraid, we will definitely take revenge for you. Don't do anything against your conscience, or the consequences will be severe," Bu Changdan frowned, seemingly unhappy, after hearing Zhan Yi's words.

"Hmph... Bu Changdan, are you trying to coerce a confession? He already said it has nothing to do with me, and you are still using such despicable means to force him to speak. Do you think the people here are air?" Hu Zhentian finally couldn't hold back and spoke, and the Chinese cultivators behind him also looked at Bu Changdan with righteous indignation.

"Ha ha, I was just afraid this young brother would be too timid to tell the truth. Since it wasn't done by Brother Zhentian, it's fine. Young brother, come over here with us. You just swallowed a heavenly treasure, staying here will make them difficult for you," seeing that Zhan Yi was not affected by his threats, Bu Changdan immediately became more polite.
