It was nearly impossible for the panicked Huang clansmen to impede the progress of the three. In the midst of the chaos, the trio went unnoticed, especially with the Huang clan leader and the black-robed man, practicing heretic cultivation, having already left. If they moved swiftly, they were unlikely to be detected.

The execution of their plan proceeded more smoothly than anticipated.

The three of them shared an unspoken agreement.

Gu Chaoyan instructed Adams not to incapacitate the three guards, and she took the attire of the Huang Clan to slip into the compound unnoticed.

With an air of familiarity, they openly entered the Huang Clan’s premises.

The sacrificial pool, essential for the ritual, lacked any guards. Perhaps, the Huang Clan’s patriarch had concerns about potential infiltrators, making it a convenient entry point.

Standing before the pool, the trio contemplated how to dismantle it.

Adams, robust but lacking experience in such matters, shrugged. His strength could be of use, but problem-solving required a different approach beyond physical prowess.

Therefore, he decided to refrain from overthinking the matter.

Gu Chaoyan, left without other options, turned her gaze to the sorcerer.

The sorcerer had come to the Huang Clan specifically to address their issues, and being a sorcerer meant he held authority over all matters in this world. It was only fitting that he took charge.

“Do as you see fit, sorcerer,” Gu Chaoyan said, spreading out her hands.

The sorcerer examined the pool with a solemn expression.

This sacrificial pool indeed posed a formidable challenge.

The depth of the pool remained unknown, shrouded in an oppressive coldness. An ordinary person would likely vanish within seconds if they fell in.

Before his injuries, the sorcerer might have had the ability to handle the pool. However, now, with severe injuries, dealing with it seemed beyond his capabilities.

Picking up a nearby dead tree, he attempted to gauge the depth of the pool by throwing it ten feet away. The dead tree sank immediately, without even floating.

“The water in this pool is different from ordinary ones. If it were ordinary water, the dead wood would float,” Adams remarked.

Gu Chaoyan rolled her eyes.

“What’s the point of saying that? If it were the same, what would we do?” she retorted.

Adams fell silent.

Meanwhile, the sorcerer used various lengths of wood to measure the depth of the pool.

Eventually, he concluded, “The water here is unfathomable.”

Adams suggested, “What if we fill it with mud?” as if they were addressing a low-lying area filled with water.

“We can resort to the most basic method, but there’s a risk of destroying this place,” Gu Chaoyan replied.

The sorcerer nodded.

The crudest and simplest approach.

“Let’s give it a try first,” Adams suggested, heading to fill the pool.

As the materials entered the water, they seemed to be devoured, disappearing completely.

“Who are you!” Camilla’s harsh voice echoed from behind them.

Startled by the sudden voice, the three turned around.

Upon seeing Adams, Camilla smiled. “You’re much more formidable than I thought.”

“No matter how much I appreciate your ability to discover this place, I can’t afford to let you stay here,” Camilla expressed regretfully.

Then…

In an instant, she launched an attack.

Camilla moved with incredible speed, pushing Adams toward the pool. However, Gu Chaoyan swiftly pulled him back.
