While disorder ensued in the other areas of the Wankong Clan residence, figures with strong auras landed in the Spring Cloud Pavilion. One of them extended his hand that was flashing with spiritual light, and then bolted forward to break the door.
Smash!
The door of the pavilion broke open as two figures rushed inside. But soon, they flew out.
"That's strange. Where is he? I thought you said this is where he's staying?" one of them confusedly asked.
"Do you think the Wankong Clan actually anticipated that we're coming to take him away? They must've moved him someplace else," another man responded as he looked around the room.
"Well, he's not here. Let's just go before someone sees us." Since they didn't find what they came here for, the two figures looked at each other knowingly and decided to leave.
Just as they flew into the air, something caught them off guard. They bounced right back to the ground as though they had bumped into an invisible wall.
"What just happened?!" Clueless as to what was keeping them from escaping, the two figures immediately grew exasperated.
A moment later, they sensed that there was a faint layer of spiritual light surrounding them.
"Is this an enchanted barrier?" one of the figures asked with furrowed brows. He was a high-level Spiritual Emperor clad in cyan clothes.
He tried to break out from other directions several times, but failed to burst through the enclosure.
"You can try knocking it down a hundred times, and it still won't matter. Your strength is not enough to break this enchanted barrier." While the two figures struggled to get out, a cold and lazy voice started talking to them.
They looked in the direction where the voice was coming from and saw a silhouette leisurely walking from the back of the pavilion. Apparently, Rocky had been waiting for them.
"Oh, what do you know? High-level Spiritual Emperors from the Myriad Spiritual Hall have actually come to visit. To what do I owe this pleasure? Did you come here to enjoy the night view with me?" Rocky mockingly welcomed the two figures as he faked a smile. He reckoned that Seth thought so highly of him that he sent two Spiritual Emperors at the premium stage to kidnap him.
When they heard what Rocky said, they realized that he had set up the enchanted barrier and waited for them since he had already expected their arrival.
Rocky was absolutely confident with the trap. With his enemies' strength, they wouldn't be able to break through the enchanted barrier and leave anytime soon.
"Boy, don't play tricks on us. If I were you, I'd surrender right now. Don't wait for us to come out of here and beat you up." The Spiritual Emperor turned livid as soon he recognized that Rocky had been taunting them since they came to the Spring Cloud Pavilion.
"Oh, no. I'm so scared. Ha! Break the enchanted barrier first before you go talking big!" Rocky satirized every word to provoke them.
Of course, Rocky's mockery had only made them more aggravated, especially since they saw him as a measly Spiritual King.
Out of rage, they decided to charge at the enchanted barrier together. However, all their efforts came to naught no matter how much they tried.
"Oh, come on. Just quit trying so hard. I already told you, remember? That's not going to work," Rocky sneered. The enchanted barrier was actually set up by Vivian, so there was no chance that mere Spiritual Emperors could break it. In fact, not even a warrior at the premium stage of the Shura Realm could fare well against it.
Now that they couldn't find a way to get out of the trap, the two Spiritual Emperors had become more worried than angry. They were getting apprehensive about the arrival of the people of the Wankong Clan and how their plan of kidnapping the chosen one would be exposed. Once that happened, the Wankong Clan would have a completely valid reason to make things difficult for the Myriad Spiritual Hall.
"Boy, let us out! There's no need to trap us like this. Listen, if you remove this enchanted barrier, I promise I'll leave you alone! I'll even give you some treasures. What do you say?" Thinking that Rocky had power over the enchanted barrier, the Spiritual Emperor, who was wearing black garments, tried to convince and charm him.
"Who says there's no need to trap you here? You know, now that you're trapped inside that barrier, I can beat you up whenever I wanted to." Rocky continued to pick on them.
