"What?"
Ao Kuo, who had just reached the center of the great hall, suddenly spun around, utterly startled.
"An array?"
Yue Honghai instantly drew his Serrated Blade and nine-section Steel Whip, fully on guard.
Lu Zheng pulled Lin Wan close with a backhand, and a dense layer of cloud qi enveloped them both in the blink of an eye, leaving not the slightest gap.
The next moment, strands of watery light seeped through the array, carrying wisps of corrosive qi as they began to erode everyone's protective true qi.
A trapping array combined with a killing array! Lu Zheng saw through the formation at a glance. As time passed, the corrosive qi would only grow stronger, until it turned them all into pools of blood.
"Bei Yuehai! Fan Yuwen!"
Ao Kuo let out a furious shout. Dragon Force burst from his body as he channeled his true qi into the Water God seal in his hand. The seal flashed twice, then abruptly dimmed.
"This isn't a Water Mansion array!"
The Guiling River Water Mansion seal was not merely a symbol of the Water God's status. It was also the key to the formations throughout the entire Water Mansion.
Ao Kuo had just tried to use the seal to control the array, only to discover that it was completely useless.
"Heh heh heh!"
A somewhat arrogant laugh suddenly rang out within the great hall, inside the array.
"I thought the East Sea Dragon Clan was full of formidable experts. Since I threw this together in a hurry, I thought I might not be able to fool you and would have to fight you outside. Who would have thought you were blind enough to walk straight into the great hall?"
"Who are you?" Ao Kuo's gaze sharpened.
"Who I am isn't important.
