After all, on the Star War Battlefield, decades of change in recent years have led to the formation of numerous barrier spaces. Inside these spaces exist methods—or possibly elixirs or inheritances—that can rapidly boost one’s power, all of which bring great benefits.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yin squinted slightly, then responded, "I do know a place that has what you’re looking for. However, I’m not sure if you’d dare to venture into it. After all, escaping from there isn’t easy if things go awry. I’ve heard that many experts have ventured into it in search of treasure, yet the outcomes were never satisfactory."

Wang Zhan grinned, glanced at Xiang Tian and Luo Xue who were seated beside him, and said, "It seems you still don’t understand me!"

Xiang Tian, who sat nearby, interjected, "Let me tell you, this guy, to improve his power, would face the blades and the Sea of Fire, even risking his life. It’s a miracle that the three of us are still alive."

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, and all gazes became fixed on Wang Zhan. After all, they all knew how terrifying Wang Zhan’s strength was. Perhaps the only one here who could contend with him was Jiang Yin. Nevertheless, they still couldn’t be careless. Wang Zhan had many trump cards, especially that black bead. It was so eerie that not even Jiang Yin dared to approach it carelessly.

"Didn’t you say earlier that you’ve always been in the lower planes? Given your current strength, there were likely only a few Level 4 Demonic Beasts down there at most. They wouldn’t find it easy to deal with you."

"Even using human wave tactics, they likely wouldn’t gain the upper hand, right?"

Jiang Yin looked at Wang Zhan, puzzled. He was also curious about what the lower planes contained, having only heard rumors about them. As far as he knew, the plane he was currently on was the lowest.

Wang Zhan responded with a laugh, "It’s a long story. But the crucial point is that I encountered a Spirit Devouring Beast. That creature was quite formidable. If not for the aid of the divine weapon I wielded, I would surely be a corpse by now."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yin’s expression turned significantly grimmer. "Did you just say Spirit Devouring Beast?"

Wang Zhan nodded, then continued, "Yes, and we even spent some time with it. It’s a long story; we have quite a history with that Spirit Devouring Beast. If it weren’t for that creature, we would have faced a life-or-death battle. Although it had its own motives for helping us, it did provide assistance. Unfortunately, we later became enemies. Fortunately, we all managed to escape by a stroke of luck."

"Where is the Spirit Devouring Beast now?" Jiang Yin pressed, clenching his fists.

Seeing his reaction, Wang Zhan chuckled. "Alright, I know what you’re worried about. If a Spirit Devouring Beast is allowed to mature, it would pose an immense threat to the entire Star War Battlefield. You’re not the only one who understands this; I’m very clear on this point too. So, you don’t need to worry about it, because I’ve already dealt with that Spirit Devouring Beast."

Jiang Yin finally let out a long sigh of relief. "Hearing that, I don’t need to worry anymore."

"Now, let’s talk about the place you mentioned. Is it a barrier, or some other kind of place?"

Wang Zhan’s gaze once again landed on Jiang Yin. To him, nothing was more important than enhancing his cultivation.

Jiang Yin didn’t keep him in suspense and said directly, "It has its own name; people here call it the Deep Water Barrier. From the name, you should get some idea. Since the sea domain is mostly water, the Deep Water Barrier is located beneath the seabed. To enter it, one must dive into the seawater. At that time, our abilities will be affected to some extent, which is a concern for everyone."

"Once in the seawater, not only will our strength be less effective, but more importantly, there’s elemental suppression. And for you, the suppression will be extremely strong because the fire element you control is incompatible with seawater. So, if you enter, your strength will naturally be greatly diminished. But it’s said to be extremely dangerous inside, so you must be well-prepared."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian and the others’ expressions all grew solemn. Their gazes fell upon Wang Zhan, but no one tried to influence his decision.

Wang Zhan gently tapped his forehead with his fingers. After hesitating for a good while, he squinted and said slowly, "According to what you’ve said, this Deep Water Barrier is indeed rather interesting. But the more dangerous the place, the greater the potential rewards. That’s a principle I’ve learned over many years."

"So, since you’ve put it that way, I naturally have to go and see for myself just how formidable this Deep Water Barrier truly is."

Jiang Yin clapped his hands and smiled with satisfaction. Actually, when he first proposed the Deep Water Barrier, he had already guessed Wang Zhan’s answer. After all, he could sense that Wang Zhan not only possessed a strong sense of responsibility and formidable strength but, most importantly, seemed to have that fearless spirit of youth.

"What about these people following us?"

Jiang Yin’s gaze swept over the young women. After all, these were all people they had brought out from the palace. If they were abandoned here, aside from whether the two escaped Priests would continue to hunt them, even surviving the dangers of this sea domain wouldn’t be an easy feat for them. Wouldn’t all our efforts be in vain then?

At the mention of this, Wang Zhan also looked troubled. Actually, he had just been thinking about this problem. But sending all these people away seemed somewhat unrealistic. After all, they had already entered the central area of the sea domain. Judging by this group’s travel speed, it would take at least several days to get them back to Flying Cloud City. This would inevitably delay many important things.

The young women seemed to have overheard them, as they all gathered around and began to clamor.

"Sir, please don’t abandon us! We just escaped the wolf’s jaws; we don’t want to fall into the tiger’s den!"

"Yes, you gave us hope. Please don’t let us down again!"

"Sir, I know you’re a good person. You won’t abandon us, right?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhan gave an awkward laugh. He glanced helplessly at Jiang Yin beside him, as if hoping Jiang Yin could offer a better solution. But Jiang Yin just shook his head, then frowned and said, "You should first think about how to talk to them. I don’t want to waste any more time on them, and I can’t think of a better way for them to get out of this safely."

Hearing this, Wang Zhan was instantly put in a difficult position.

Isn’t this just dumping a hot potato on me?

But Jiang Yin didn’t seem to give him any time to consider, turning and walking off to the side.

Wang Zhan gave another awkward laugh. He rubbed his temples, his gaze falling directly on Han Junxiong. Then, he crooked a finger at Han Junxiong, a mischievous grin on his face, and said, "I’ve thought of a solution that could work out for everyone. We’ll head to that barrier first, since there’s some danger there. You take these people back to Flying Cloud City and wait for us. But don’t worry, if I find anything good, I’ll naturally think of you. I definitely won’t forget you. How about that?"

Han Junxiong quickly stepped aside, shaking his head and waving his hands frantically. "Brother Wang, please stop joking with me. I’m willing to follow you unconditionally and go to that barrier, even if I get nothing. But please, don’t make me escort this group of women back to Flying Cloud City. I’ve never liked being around women since I was a child. Just seeing women makes me feel extremely uncomfortable."

Wang Zhan rolled his eyes at Han Junxiong, then glared and said sternly, "What’s with all this nonsense? Since I’ve already decided, you will follow them closely and escort these people safely back to Flying Cloud City. Otherwise, don’t blame me for getting rough with you."

Han Junxiong sighed helplessly. He glanced at the people around him and shook his head. But since Wang Zhan had already spoken, how could he dare to argue further? After all, angering Wang Zhan wouldn’t do him any good, would it?

"Brother Wang, you absolutely mustn’t forget your promise. Once you’ve dealt with those things, you have to come and meet me right away. Otherwise, wouldn’t my time have been wasted for nothing?"

Seeing him agree, Wang Zhan was satisfied. He patted Han Junxiong’s shoulder and said with a laugh, "Don’t worry. I’ve long considered you my partner. I wouldn’t leave you stranded and alone over there, that’s for sure."

Han Junxiong nodded emphatically and said with a smile, "In that case, I’ll definitely do as you say."
