I Don't Agree to the Terms

"The password is..." Wang Qi said this just as a malicious psychic assault burst forth, striking the opponent's mind and plunging him into confusion instantly.

Then Fang Chen, carrying a dagger, snuck up with great speed in the dark, and promptly slit the man's throat.

Blood sprayed out, then swiftly returned.

"Move quickly, the smell of blood will draw attention," Yu Ju whispered. After becoming a Transcendent, his senses were naturally much sharper, and it was normal for the smell of blood to be detected from a distance.

Even if the smell of blood didn't draw people in, the disappearance would eventually be noticed. Patrol personnel were definitely not alone; they patrolled in groups. The reason this person was alone was that he had come to relieve himself, otherwise the disturbance would have been raised long ago.

They sprinted along, encountering several groups of people.

"It's strange, how can it be this smooth?" Fang Chen muttered quietly.

Wang Qi, however, didn't speak. With Gu Shanhai, who had the ability to foresee the future, assisting them, could their operation not go smoothly? If they still encountered problems, that would indeed be odd.

"What comes next can only be a frontal assault; are you prepared?" Wang Qi looked at the large number of Divine Alliance sea dwellers guarding the underground entrance, his voice carrying a hint of tension.

There were simply too many of them. The guards numbered at least three hundred, and their strength was formidable, with many comparable to the high-ranking Divine Slaves of the Dragon Fish Chamber of Commerce Wang Qi had dealt with before.

Even now, Wang Qi was no match for a high-ranking Divine Slave. Such a title was not only due to self-awareness but also due to substantial personal power.

"Toxic grenades will lead the way; let's start by throwing a stink pot," suggested Tang Quan.

Each person had eighteen, which meant ninety for the five of them. The resulting black mist was enough to cover the entire area of sea dwellers guarding the underground entrance.

They would just need to wait ten seconds, then hold their breath and rush in.

As for the possibility of complications due to waiting too long, this was the enemy's lair. Being able to infiltrate without damage didn't mean they could have a one-sided slaughter. If they had such ability, they wouldn't need to toss the stink pots in the first place.

The problem was that no one on board was good at commanding or strategy; they relied on brute force.

Wang Qi nodded in agreement, "Okay, we'll do it this way. Let's divide up the area."

It took thirty seconds to divide up the areas. Then, everyone opened up their stink pots together, and the foul smell instantly spread.

"Throw!"

As soon as Wang Qi gave the signal, they all threw the grenades.

Eighteen toxic grenades per person, and in just three seconds, they were all thrown. Even that was considered slow for a Transcendent. Surely throwing eighteen grenades shouldn't take three minutes?

"Enemy attack!"

The Divine Alliance sea dwellers attacked by the toxic grenades immediately issued an alarm.

Then the black mist rose, obscuring the light.

After ten seconds, Wang Qi shouted, "Charge!"

The five of them rushed straight in.

Their speed was extreme, they arrived in an instant.

"Holy shit...ugh~" Upon entering, Fang Chen, the weakest in strength, was almost overwhelmed by the stench, stumbled, and his legs gave way.

Wang Qi quickly grabbed him and dragged him along.

Everyone had tied a rope around their waists to avoid being left behind in case they passed out. Although this might slow them down, it would be too heartless to simply give up on someone.

This idea had also come from the inspiration Tang Quan had when he rescued Wang Qi.

"Who dares to...ugh~" Someone noticed the movement of Wang Qi and the others and shouted, but before he could finish, the incoming stench almost made him pass out.

Bang~

Wang Qi kicked against the wooden door, but it didn't budge at all, proving it was a Transcendent object.

Thankfully, Wang Qi had come prepared and took out the Endless Sea Spirit Claw, forcibly slicing the wooden door open.

Then, with his people, he rushed inside, and a sigh of relief escaped everyone's lips as they left the dark fog behind.

"Throw the fermented shark meat," Wang Qi's idea was simple: to eradicate the problem entirely.

The guards had already discovered them and were heading their way.

He took the lead by throwing it out, and the four remaining people, regaining their senses, followed suit with all their might.

"No, wrong throw," Fang Chen's pupils contracted as he realized his mistake; he had thrown a sardine can instead. The glass jar, combined with his strength, would certainly shatter upon hitting the ground.

"Run!" Wang Qi hastily propped the wooden door back up after entering and then ran towards the underground.

Three types of dark cooking fused, creating a terrifyingly distorted force field.

They had experienced the power of two types, which had greatly increased the risk of death; the thought of three was too daunting to bear.

Staying here meant certain death.

Only by escaping underground could they find a slim chance of survival.

After entering the underground, there were no Transcendent sea people around, not even regular humans.

Clearly, only the high-ranking red-robed members of the Divine Alliance were allowed in; others were simply unqualified. This place involved divine secrets—sharing them with fewer people was better.

Upon reaching the bottom, they saw a vast expanse of white gel filling most of the underground space, bound by numerous golden chains.

When the high-ranking red-robed members of the Divine Alliance saw Wang Qi and his group, they paused, and then the leader sternly rebuked, "Who are you, and how dare you intrude into the forbidden area of the Divine Alliance?"

Wang Qi thought these people seemed rather simple-minded, their intelligence superficial.

Here at this point, and they still asked who they were? Normally, they would have captured them first.

"My Lord, we are also members of the Divine Alliance. There has been an incident outside; we've come to report to you," Wang Qi said, taking advantage of their hesitance to see if he could deceive them.

These people might not be sharp, but their power was genuine.

Meanwhile, layers of white gel became visible on the skin not covered by their clothes, which they quickly tore off and swallowed back into their bellies.

Wang Qi's eyes narrowed at this sight. He knew this white gel was the Heavenly Emperor, and they were consuming a Divine. Still, it looked like they hadn't digested it, or else how could such a situation occur?

"You saw, didn't you?" The leader suddenly let out an eerie laugh.

"We haven't seen anything, my Lord," said Wang Qi quickly.

"Didn't see? Then, I'll make sure you get a good look," the other said. Then, his head burst open, and countless white gels poured out, molding into a large and deformed head, out of proportion with the body.

Within the head, many plants sprouted, then it charged madly toward Wang Qi and his party.

Seeing this, all five decisively cut off the thick hemp ropes wrapped around themselves and scattered to escape.

Wang Qi dodged to the side, heading towards the 'Heavenly Emperor's' main body while the other four used themselves as bait to divert the attention of the mutated high-ranking members of the Divine Alliance.

"Boss, how do I release your main body?" Wang Qi asked breathlessly after evading a headbutt attack.

"Don't rush, I'm looking," Gu Shanhai responded leisurely.

"Then, hurry up, Boss. I feel like I can't hold on much longer," Wang Qi pulled out some dark cuisine and, with swift movements, stuffed it into the gelatinous head of one of the Divine Alliance's monstrous high-rankers that had not yet risen from the headbutt.

Not going to lie, the effect was rather intoxicating.

"I found it, see those golden chains? At the end of them, there's a lock, you can either open it or cut it," Gu Shanhai said casually. The lock was just a toy and the golden chains merely decoration.

You can't exactly kill someone while simply watching for amusement.

"Fuck, can I even climb up there?" Wang Qi looked at the golden chains, feeling quite dubious, especially since the lock was on the backside. One wrong move could mean death.

"I believe in you~," Gu Shanhai teased.
