In the southeast of the Undersea Continent, on the northern coast of the eastern South Continent.

Ji Chen rode on a Sea Crystal Wyrm, descending in alt.i.tude, pa.s.sing through the clouds to catch a glimpse of a cl.u.s.ter of islands.

According to previous perceptions, the Storm Authority was near this cl.u.s.ter of islands. However, although the distance had shortened, the perception had become increasingly vague. To obtain a more accurate location, they needed to continue approaching the islands, perhaps even entering them.

The islands appeared unremarkable, covered in trees, with silver streams cascading down cliffs. Seagulls lazily flew overhead, returning to their nests on the cliffs to nurture their young. Near the islands, whales occasionally breached the surface, knocking off barnacles attached to their bodies.

At first glance, it seemed like a peaceful and vibrant scene, completely unrelated to the traps set by demons.

But the more serene it looked, the more uneasy Ji Chen felt.

This cl.u.s.ter of islands wasn’t far from the South Continent, and it was only separated by a sea from the territory occupied by the Undead Lord Legion. Yet, it still preserved such a paradisiacal setting?

Ji Chen had witnessed the devastation caused by the Dreadlord Balzarna in the southern seas, where life had vanished, leaving behind a dead zone stretching for miles.

He could even sense a hint of conspiracy in the air.

However, he didn’t worry too much.

The unknown was the most threatening. If a conspiracy was exposed as such, with precautions in place, its effectiveness would be halved at least.

Furthermore, he had made plenty of preparations before coming, enough to contend with the Undead Lord.

With this in mind, Ji Chen urged the Sea Crystal Wyrm to slowly approach the islands.

In a dark corner of the islands, a pair of eyes filled with evil and cruelty silently looked up, gazing in the direction Ji Chen was flying from, excitement flashing through them, enough to make souls tremble.

The human lord had finally arrived!

Just as they gazed with eager antic.i.p.ation as the human lord was about to enter the range of the islands, he suddenly stopped, halting right on the edge of the trap they had set.

Maldonis and the others began to discuss.

“Has he found out?”

“Impossible, no one else knows about this except us!”

“He’s cautious, realizing something’s wrong with this cl.u.s.ter of islands. I said we shouldn’t set the trap so close…”

“He’s hesitating, we need to do something to lure him in.”

Soon, Maldonis and the others reached a decision, releasing the scent of the bait.

Ji Chen looked towards the center of the islands, sensing a sudden strong fluctuation. A barely perceptible smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

It seemed like this was indeed a trap. The Undead Lord became so anxious when he saw Ji Chen hesitating that he continued to throw out bait.

Confirming that the Storm Authority and the Undead Lord were indeed on these islands, Ji Chen became even more relaxed. As long as he wasn’t rushed, it meant the Undead Lord was.

Taking his time, Ji Chen circled the cl.u.s.ter of islands on the Sea Crystal Wyrm, slowly exploring. Despite the Undead Lord’s disguised concealment, he still noticed some suspicious areas.

On the islands of the archipelago, there seemed to be some ancient relics peeking out from the dense jungle canopy. The entire archipelago resembled a chessboard, with these islands and their strange relics arranged like pieces according to some as yet unclear pattern.

As he looked, Ji Chen suddenly had a moment of insight.

Could it be… a formation?

“The bait has been released, why is he still hesitating?”

“The bait isn’t enough, he must have discovered something!”

“He seems to be observing… he’s making a move!!” One of the Maldonis suddenly screamed.

Without warning, Ji Chen waved his hand, and thousands of tons of seawater condensed into a giant sword, crashing down with tremendous force on the relics on the edge of an island near the archipelago.

Boom! A sky-shaking roar accompanied by a cloud of dust erupted as the relics collapsed.

Suddenly, a huge blood-red shield appeared in the sky above the previously serene blue islands. A crack resembling a spider web appeared at one corner of the shield, clearly indicating the direction of the destroyed relics.

And now, there was no trace of the peace and tranquility seen just moments ago on the archipelago. The islands were barren, covered in layers of stacked skeletons, forming mountains of bones. The soil was black-red, as if nurtured by blood and flesh for thousands of years, emitting a putrid odor.

Even just looking at it, one could feel the extreme evil and ominousness emanating from it.

Seeing this, Ji Chen did not hesitate. One after another, giant swords fell, destroying the relics scattered across the islands, serving as bases for the formation. With a sound like shattering gla.s.s, the blood-red shield shattered.

“d.a.m.n it, how did he find out!? There must be a traitor among us!”

“Impossible, we are all Maldonis, we would not betray ourselves!”

“He already knows our plan, don’t wait any longer, kill him directly and seize the power!”

Suddenly, large black clouds rose from the islands, and within the easily flesh-corroding black mist appeared twelve giant armored skeletons.

These giant skeletons exuded a terrifying evil aura. As soon as they appeared, the temperature around them seemed to drop significantly, and the air was filled with a thick, oppressive atmosphere.

Legendary-tier Shura Skeletons, level 69.

To ensure the success of this ambush plan, Maldonis had summoned twelve legendary-tier Shura Skeletons under his command, all for the purpose of keeping Ji Chen trapped on these islands..
