All fell back into silence, the turbid waters and boulders blocking the way serving as evidence of what had happened.

A long time passed, and then, splash! A large bubble of air emerged from the bottom of the river, and then two figures emerged from the mud.

”They're gone!”

With a shake of his body, the Lone Silence Ancestor removed the mud covering him.

”We should actually be safe now!”

Any kind of Psychic Energy sensing might easily expose them, but the Lone Silence Ancestor's Gonggong Divine Art could sense what was going on in the river without being discovered.

”Mm, they've probably given up!”

Wang Chong nodded as he shook the mud off his body. His face was slightly pale, his breathing ragged. Although they had weathered the storm, they had both paid a price.

”Heh, Young Master Wang, it was your method that worked. Just a little longer and we might have been discovered,” the Lone Silence Ancestor said, a look of relief on his face.

Only by actually experiencing it would one have realized just how much danger the two had been in.

Wang Chong's Psychic Seal was useless against Stellar Energy attacks. The pair had been on the verge of being exposed, with a fierce battle soon to follow.

Given the immense power of the three bamboo hat men and all their subordinates, Wang Chong and the Lone Silence Ancestor would have probably been finished.

But at the final moment, Wang Chong had used Psychic Energy to inform the Lone Silence Ancestor to pour Stellar Energy into the rocks they had placed in front to conceal their position.

They used the rocks as shields to resist the attack, successfully deceiving the bamboo hat leader.

The bamboo hat leader might have been powerful, but as his attacks had all landed on the rocks, he had naturally failed to notice anything.

Even so, they had still not been able to escape the impact of the Stellar Energy attacks.

Fortunately, the bamboo hat leader had spread his attacks over the entire one hundred meters of the river section, causing their killing power to plunge.

”We've only just survived this single disaster, but now that I think about it, who could have imagined that these men in black would have their own internal problems?” said Wang Chong with a wave of his hand, his mind going back to the quarrel between the two bamboo hat men.

If not for their internal strife, the third bamboo hat man would have used his Stellar Energy to search and already found them.

”But the danger isn't over. We still have to find a way to leave.” And most importantly, we have to find the Origin Immortal Art!

Wang Chong did not voice the last part.

He gave off the appearance of a farsighted strategist, able to resolve the greatest of dangers, and he could sense that even the Lone Silence Ancestor was brimming with admiration toward him.

But only Wang Chong understood that his internal injuries were getting worse and worse.

While he had fooled the three bamboo hat men, he had worsened his condition to do so. His dantian and various parts of his body were throbbing in pain.

Wang Chong knew that he couldn't last for long. He needed to find the Origin Immortal Art soon.

”Leave this to me!”

The Lone Silence Ancestor smiled and lightly pushed with his left palm.

The river waters surged with immense strength, and the blockage created by the third bamboo hat man was instantly cleared away.

A massive pillar of water had pushed the boulders and the mud one hundred meters away.

Not only that, a white light emerged on the Lone Silence Ancestor's left hand, sending an invisible energy through the entire river. With a shake, all the mud and dirt floating in the water sank down, and the river waters became clear once more.

It was as if everything had been restored to the state before the battle.

Wang Chong was shaken by this sight, astonishment plainly written on his face.

The Lone Silence Ancestor's Gonggong Divine Art had already reached the summit of water control, a level that many martial artists couldn't even imagine.
