Upon hearing this, all of them got serious and took out their most prized defensive treasures in their sect, afraid they would die without knowing anything. The Immortal Emperors around also increased their defensive capabilities and widened their immortal sense. Since they were now near the deepest part of the island, they were preparing themselves for the worse.
After a long pause of silence, the princess looked at Jin Rou and said, "This Young Master here, I wonder how should I address you?"
As the princess had given her attention to Jin Rou, everyone also had given theirs. As they pondered for a moment why would the princess initiate a conversation with this young man, they immediately realized the reason. Jin Rou and Lang Zing had made it alive and well up to here, without any protection from anyone while those juniors were already rotting corpses. This young man was either powerful or he had a heaven-defying treasure in his possession. And this triggered the greed in the minds of everyone present.
Seeing that Jin Rou was not yet answering, the Revenant Sect Master, for some unknown reason, talked for him, "Sea Princess, this young man is named Jin. And he was my guest a couple of days ago. And he is also a current Immortal Emperor."
Immortal Emperor! The faces of everyone changed. They did not expect that this young man was already an Immortal Emperor! For such a young man to be one, what's the meaning of this? He was a genius that won't appear even after hundreds of millions of years.
The princess frowned. She was also surprised that the other party was already an Immortal Emperor. Even in their race, only one man could be compared to this young lad. Perhaps, he was way better than that one man. It was no wonder why Jin Rou survived here. Unlike the princess and the Nine Immortals, who were in the protection of the mysterious man with them, Jin Rou had used his own means to protect himself and his companion. For sure, the princess deduced that he must have a strong background. Perhaps he was part of their nemesis in the Land Continent. And perhaps, together with a strong treasure, that he managed to protect himself and his companion well.

Jin Rou did not even take a glance at the princess.
Seeing this, the princess frowned in displeasure. She was an arrogant being and always looked down on everyone. Now that she's playing nice, why would this young man not appreciate it? If it were anyone else, they would jump in joy and not sleep for days. But this young, average-looking man, denied her? What sort of situation of this? Note that she was one of the prettiest girls of the entire Sea Continent!
"To think that this lad will dare to ignore Her Highness." The leader of the Nine Immortals snorted and revealed his displeasure, "Her Highness is showing good grace to you yet you dare to act this way? Do you think you are a big shot now that you are an Immortal Emperor?"
"Let him be, Uncle Xiao." The princess snorted, "If he wants to play this way, then be it."
Xiao Chi snorted, did not say anything else and just walked forth.
"Young Master Jin, is it really okay to act this way?" Lang Zing wanted to cry but there were no tears coming, "You're making an enemy of the strongest powerhouse of the Sea Continent!"
Lang Zing wanted to speak up a while ago, to ease the tense atmosphere. However, Jin Rou sent him a message through mind not to interfere and just turn a deaf ear against them. What was this? Why would Jin Rou court death at a time like this?
"You'll know later." Jin Rou already had a rough idea why would this ancient race invite everyone to enter the island.
Lang Zing wanted to speak something, however, he held his words back and just sighed. Forget it, what must happen will eventually happen.
After half an hour of walking, the princess and her co stopped and said, "Everyone, we have arrived at the deepest part of the island now!"
The atmosphere changed dramatically and black clouds were looming over them with black-coloured thunder clapping the sky.
Soon, everyone realized that they were breathing harder than a while ago. It dried their mouths and they almost wanted to escape. Accompanying with the heavy feeling they were feeling, a few could not help but cough a mouthful of blood. Everything here made their circulation of qi being affected for the worse.
Seeing the reactions of those around them, Lang Zing gulped a mouthful of blood and said, "This is more than terrifying than the word itself."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn front of them was a colossal cave towering up to the sky. This cave was very imposing as if it was telling everyone that it survived all the adversities and the vicissitude of time.
After a few chanting, the stone door of the cave opened and the princess said, "Everyone, the treasures are inside. So, shall we?"
Everyone used all their defensive means while walking, afraid that they would die with regrets. Soon as they entered the cave, a pile of treasures were indeed in this place! They were all sparkling as they were made from the strongest and precious ores and gems. They could not help but salivate with greed. If they could get some of those treasures, the overall strength of their sect will soar dramatically!
"Woah, there were tons of treasures, Young Master Jin!" Lang Zing's eyes brightened, "We struck it rich!"
Lang Zing was about to go hop in joy when Jin Rou said, "Those treasures were not made by the heaven and earth of the island. And they were put there intentionally."
"Huh?" Lang Zing was confused.
"This is a trap for me, Lang Zing." Jin Rou said wryly. Soon, the cave reacted and 4 black pillars of light appeared. After which, a white pillar of light appeared below Jin Rou.
Seeing this, the princess grinned evilly, "Finally."
