"Hahahahahahaha...."

Watt is laughing like a psycho with blood all over his face.

"Idiots." He scolded everyone in the room making them infuriated.

"Do you want to die?" One of them asked with fury.

"Moron, I already told you guys to f.u.c.k off from this place when you still had a chance, now you are all fish on the chopping board, lambs waiting for slaughter and you still have guts to threaten me. I DARE YOU TO KILL ME."

Watt shouted as he looked at the people in the room, even the old man is being frightened. Even though, he is not showing it on his face, he is really afraid of that small crystal and that shadow.

This is the fear of unknown. He mustered up his courage and shouted in the room.

"Who is that coward, sneaking up on us, I dare you come and face me."

When the old man said these words, the remaining members suddenly felt a little courageous and started taunting.

"Come out you bloody coward."

"Come face us, if you have guts."

"Come on fight us like a man."

When they were taunting, the blue crystal appeared again and immediately four people are sprawling on the floor.

The room went silent. They didn’t dare to make a noise.

The Old man is concentrating so much that veins popped out on his forehead and he is drenched in sweat.

But he noticed around five shadows moving and before he could make a move, another five people collapsed.

He was again disturbed by the screams and by the time he recovered his concentration, shadows disappeared.

He moved his hands and a wave of water appeared on the floor, he wanted to use this to fish out that blue crystal and shadows, but he wasn’t able to find out anything. At this moment, there is a shadow merged within the shadow of the lamp on the wall.

"Come out, we can talk, otherwise I will kill him." The Old man pointed at Watt as he spoke. But as soon as his words were finished, six Great realm cultivators were attacked.

He immediately shut his mouth.

"Old man, you better learn how to hold your mouth and think before you speak." When Watt replied in exact same words, the remaining members immediately became nervous.

The Old man is looking at Watt in a deep thought. He cannot use an Area of effect skill because of his companions.

To leave this place is not an option as there is no telling whether their target has someone backing him or not. If there is an ambush, things would get messy.

He wasn’t able to find out, what is that thing that is pestering them and even if he can get rid of it.

While he was thinking, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation behind him and when he turned around, he saw the blue crystal there and before he could react, a big foot ball size white figure emerged from the crystal and bit him on his abdomen (Dantian).

Before he could react, he could fee the spiritual energy being leaked out of his body, when he was about to move, the white figure disappeared, everyone was stunned.

The Old man, was in a hurry because the bite was near his spiritual core, so he didn’t even see the fact was blue crystal was here.

His subordinates doesn’t even dare to come near him and took a step away as they looked at him.

Before they could make sense of the situation, something even more astounding happened.

A small highly concentrated energy object came out of thin air and exploded on the wound of the old man.

The wound opened up even more and before he could react,

A wooden pike which was pierced by several metal spikes attached to chains came out of thin air along with a Black figure.

Sam pierced the pike in the wound near the spirtual core of the Old man. Even though, he couldn’t reach the spiritual core directly due to his prowess, the damage is not something to be taken easily when it was done of the wound.

When the pike pierced, Sam started throwing the other ends of the spikes immediately.

Some, pierced through the people and some pierced into the walls and floor. But within no time, all ten spikes were thrown out accurately and the runes on them started lighting up.

All of this happened in a split second. Before Sam was about to hit by the Old man’s attack, he activated the inscriptions of the wooden pike and vanished from the spot as he entered the dimension again.

The Old man sent a water bullet on that spot but only hit the air, he was about to make another move.

But then only he noticed that he cannot channel his spiritual energy anymore. His energy has been leaking out and the pike is being sucking his energy.

He looked around and saw that the members are also locked inside the formation and they weren’t even able to escape.

Then only Sam came out of the formation along with Jack, they swiftly took the remaining vials and threw them at Great Realm cultivators, even if they tried to block, there is nothing then do.

As long as the venom enters their system they are doomed.

Sam took out his reaper sword and started claiming their lives while they are still in frenzy.

Only the last one was able to make some fight, but his will was totally destroyed when he saw his boss without any movement.

As for Novices, he left them to Jack, who used his sword and venom at the same time to subdue them.

Sam specifically asked him to subdue them. As long as they are not killed immediately it is okay.

The Oldman didn’t care about his subordinates anymore, he is trying to shake of the pike, but he wasn’t able to do so, as the formation is in full effect.

Even though, the energy input is low, since the restriction is also low, the formation worked.

Sam’s greatest worry was this, but he still has a contingency plan.

He walked towards Watt and removed the restrictions. He started healing him, he was mixed with complicated emotions. He knew that Watt was loyal, but he never expected this much loyalty.

What touched him most was that the other party believed him unconditionally. Even when he is facing a Nascent Realm cultivator, even when he is facing a bunch of Grand realm cultivators, Great Stage cultivators all together which is a far more powerful force then Sam himself, he still believed him.

The Proud and arrogant look, that fearlessness which stemmed from the belief in Sam’s ability, no one in this world can ask for a better subordinate, follower, friend.

The skin on Watt’s face was healing rapidly and soon his face is back to normal. Sam gave a pill to Watt which he obtained from the loot; this is to recover his spiritual energy.

After Watt recovered, Sam finally focussed on the Old man. He didn’t say anything. One look and he could say that this is the Black water’s work.

"Do you want to deal with him or do you want me to deal with him?" Sam asked nonchalantly.

"I want the one who gave the info, not this guy." Watt replied.

Sam walked towards the Novices who are trying to fight against the venom. The venom used on them is actually not the pure hydra blood, rather a very very diluted one.

They are okay for now.

But slowly, their spirtual energy masks are being deactivated as Sam waited there, and soon he found the face he was looking for.

"Luther." Sam called out as he looked at the most low-key son of the Marquis. The one who is famous for not having any ambitions, one who is famous for not having conflicts, the one who is famous for being amiable.

This guy is part of the Black water.

Sam already got some suspicions when he heard about him gathering intel and him being nervous about his father learning about it.

As far as Sam knew, there is only one big change that could affect his progress and capturing of Watt in the city and that is the arrival of this team.

If the Black water directly captured Watt without a second thought, they should have known about Sam’s mission placement, which apparently tallied with the timings of destruction of their branches in the Count cities.

There is only one way, the Black water can learn of this and that is one of the hidden bosses of the younger generation are part of this organisation and from his earlier suspicions, Sam narrowed down to only one person.

Luther.

Sam let out Sky and said to Jack.

"Both of you go and bring ask Marquis to come here." Jack walked to a corner and pushed a lever which opened a stair case leading to an abandoned cave inside the forest. He flew off along with Sky.

Sam turned to the Old man who was completely restrained in the formation.

Sam truly loved this formation chains, because, they don’t require him to be in a higher level to use as they feed on the victim’s energy.

"So, old man, how do you want to die?" Sam asked as he looked at the Old man dead in the eye.
