He nervously scanned his surroundings, vigilantly observing every corner.

Suddenly, a figure appeared before him.

A black-clothed man laughed loudly and said, "Kid, how did you find this place?"

"Could it be that you too came for the Profound Dark Water?"

Lu Yuan did not answer; he simply gripped his sword hilt and used the Detection Technique to sense the opponent's strength.

He sensed a powerful aura emanating from the black-clothed man, forcing him to respond cautiously.

Seeing Lu Yuan's lack of response, the black-clothed man stared at him even more warily.

Suddenly, he sneered, "Since you won't speak, hand over the Profound Dark Water; maybe I'll let you go."

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, but did not lower his guard.

He calmly said, "This is Spirit Spring Valley; you don't get to call the shots here."

"If you want the Profound Dark Water, then take it by strength."

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, the black-clothed man roared in anger.

He swung the long sword in his hand, forming a blade of light that flew toward Lu Yuan.
