"It's one thing to easily breach the Haotian Sect's barrier, but to do so without triggering any alarms is incredible!"
Outside the barrier of the Haotian Sect.
Hidden in the shadows, Qian Daoliu stared intently at Shui Wuya from a distance, feeling a deep sense of disbelief.
This barrier would take considerable effort for him to break through by force.
Yet, this mysterious figure did it effortlessly, disabling the barrier's advanced perception in the process.
The strength of this enigmatic individual commanded Qian Daoliu's involuntary respect.
He was astounded, attempting to gauge the person's power but found that the aura emanating from them was overwhelming, preventing him from discerning their true strength.
Shui Wuya's mask concealed his true face, exuding an aura of inscrutability, as if he belonged to another world.
This made Qian Daoliu even more wary, not daring to underestimate him.
"Who on earth is this guy!?"
Qian Daoliu kept a close watch on this celestial visitor, barely daring to breathe.
At the same time, Shui Wuya seemed to sense something, his eyes scanning the surroundings, cold and sharp as if he could see through everything.
"Who's skulking around over there?"
Shui Wuya's icy gaze swept over Qian Daoliu's hiding place, seemingly penetrating everything.
His voice echoed through the night air, chilling like a cold soul from the depths of hell, sending shivers down the spine.
"He found me!?"
Qian Daoliu was shocked, incredulously looking at Shui Wuya, who had detected him without even seeing him.
Realizing that hiding was futile, Qian Daoliu reluctantly emerged from the shadows.
Shui Wuya glanced at him, and Qian Daoliu felt a powerful, mysterious force pressing down on him. Reflecting on the divine abilities displayed by this mysterious individual, he couldn't help but shrink back.
Despite his fear, he feigned calmness, meeting Shui Wuya's gaze with a composed demeanor.
To divert the conversation, he praised, "To easily break through the Haotian Sect's barrier, your spiritual power is truly extraordinary."
However, Shui Wuya ignored his compliment, adopting an aloof demeanor and asked, "Who are you?"
Shui Wuya's voice was as chilling as a sharp wind, making Qian Daoliu feel the cold in his heart. But as the ancestor of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu didn't hesitate to introduce himself, "I am Qian Daoliu, Head of the Worship Hall and the Great Worshiper of the Spirit Hall."
He habitually announced his titles with a hint of pride in his voice.
"Oh?"
Seeing Qian Daoliu's proud demeanor, Shui Wuya smiled slightly, a playful grin forming beneath his mask.
"So, it's the legendary Angel Douluo."
"Heh, is it your style, Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu, to hide and spy on others, or is it that everyone in the SpiritHall likes to sneak around in the dark?"
His tone was mocking, as if he didn't regard the venerable Qian Daoliu or the exalted Spirit Hall at all.
"You—"
Qian Daoliu, feeling the sting of Shui Wuya's condescension, was naturally displeased. Ordinarily, anyone daring to speak to him or disregard the Spirit Hall in such a manner would have been swiftly dealt with.
But faced with this formidable and mysterious stranger, he dared not act rashly.
Suppressing his anger, he questioned Shui Wuya, "I've introduced myself, it's fine if you don't respect that. But may I ask, who are you? What is your name and purpose here?"
Watching this old man, Shui Wuya inwardly laughed.
You want to know who I am? Not telling you.
So, Qian Daoliu didn't get the answer he sought.
"My name cannot be disclosed to you right now," Shui Wuya replied coldly.
Qian Daoliu was left baffled.
What Does It Mean to Say 'Not Able to Tell You Yet'?
What did he mean by 'not able to tell you yet'? It sounded as if I was not worthy of knowing.
Who is this mysterious person?
How dare he act so arrogantly in front of me?
The more Shui Wuya refused to reveal, the more curious Qian Daoliu became.
Just as he resolved to continue his inquiries, Shui Wuya spoke again.
"If you interfere with my plans, you'll bear the consequences."
With that, Shui Wuya stepped into the passageway he had opened, the barrier swallowing his figure until he vanished.
Watching the mysterious figure disappear, Qian Daoliu hesitated.
Such an unexpected and formidable character suddenly showing up today suggested that things wouldn't be simple.
But then he thought it over.
The Haotian Sect was full of deadly traps and hidden dangers.
With such a powerful individual paving the way and bearing the initial risks, why not take advantage of it?
The more dangerous it was for him, the safer it was for Qian Daoliu.
A sly smile crept across Qian Daoliu's face.
"Brilliant! Today is my lucky day."
Seizing the opportunity, he immediately followed into the passage.
Upon passing through the barrier, the magnificent and grand scene of the Haotian Sect came into view, as if he had stepped into another world.
The Haotian Sect stood majestically atop towering peaks, grand and imposing, like a massive barrier before him.
The mountains were steep, with sheer cliffs and ancient pines, shrouded in a thin mist, making the entire Haotian Sect seem like an ethereal realm.
"Where's that mysterious figure?"
The moment he stepped inside, Qian Daoliu realized that Shui Wuya had already disappeared.
"This guy really is as elusive as a dragon," Qian Daoliu mused, marveling at the hidden talents within the Douluo Continent.
But why was such a mysterious stranger also sneaking into the Haotian Sect, just like him? Qian Daoliu wondered.
However, he didn't have time to ponder Shui Wuya's motives.
The urgent matter at hand was, for the sake of Poseidon—no, for his granddaughter and the enduring legacy of the Spirit Hall!
He couldn't afford any hesitation; he had to find Tang Chen and stop him from consolidating his divine position and becoming a god.
Qian Daoliu ventured deeper into the Haotian Sect, his eyes scanning the mountain forest for any clues to guide his way.
Meanwhile, Shui Wuya stealthily descended from the sky, returning through the passage to bring Shui Bing'er inside.
"Alright, Qian Daoliu is ahead, scouting the dangers for us. We can proceed more confidently now."
Removing his mask, Shui Wuya smiled at Shui Bing'er.
"Wuyue, you're so cunning. Your acting was superb," Shui Bing'er softly praised, admiration in her eyes.
The Grand Worshiper of the Spiriit Hall probably still thought Shui Wuya was clearing the path for him.
Little did he know, he was the one serving as the vanguard.
Only Shui Wuya could pull off such a scheme.
Shui Wuya smiled slightly, "For our safety and smooth operation, let him bear the brunt."
