Chapter - 2922

Zeke said sternly, "Shut up! Don't speak such useless words."

"You b*stards!"

At that moment, a deep and majestic voice suddenly resounded, causing Zeke and the others to shudder involuntarily.

What was that?

It didn't belong to anyone among them.

"Be on guard immediately," Zeke ordered, alerting everyone to look around and find the source of the voice.

"How dare you disturb my meditation. You all shall perish!"

The deep voice echoed once again.

This time, Zeke could clearly hear it. The voice seemed to come from the river.

Everyone's gaze fell upon the river.

Just then, the raging river became even more intense, with waves rising three to four meters high.

The river had also been contaminated by the death aura and had turned into an inky black color.

Zeke noticed that after one of the waves rose, it didn't fall back down but instead remained suspended in the air. It then slowly shifted into a human form.

It was an old man with a long beard.

His eyes were wide open in anger, and he exuded an imposing aura.

Zeke and the others were overwhelmed by his formidable presence.

Zeke was about to speak, but suddenly, bursts of red light illuminated the riverbed.

It was as though a massive fire had erupted beneath the river, spreading throughout its length.

The fiery red color beneath the river quickly gathered together and rose as if trying to emerge from the water's surface.

The "water man" floating on the water's surface became furious and used his body to suppress the fiery red mass.

However, the water man was being affected by the death aura from the death spirits. Gradually, he lost his human form and grew weaker.

Finally, the fiery red mass turned into a streak of white light that swiftly disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.

When Zeke and the others saw the white light, they were momentarily shocked as it seemed somewhat familiar to them.

It was reminiscent of the white light that had followed them through the Restrictive Spell Formation before.

What exactly is this white light?

Observing the water man and the white light, Zeke vaguely realized something.

It seemed as though the water man had been suppressing the white light, but due to being affected by the death aura, his power weakened, which allowed the white light to escape.

Zeke's profound sixth sense told him that the white light was not something good.

Seeing the white light disappear, the water man became infuriated. "You fools! It was you who let him escape. You must pay the price!"

With that, the water man went on a rampage. Waves surged around him, charging toward the death spirits and instantly dissolving them upon contact like acid.

Those waves then rushed toward Zeke and the others.

Zeke suddenly fell to his knees and exclaimed, "Master, your disciple has come to see you!"

Disciple?

The water man became skeptical and stopped his wave attacks, staring fixedly at Zeke.

After carefully observing him for a moment, the water man shook his head and said, "Who are you? When did I have a disciple like you? I don't remember. However, I can sense that there's something of mine within you. Do we have some kind of connection?"

Zeke hurriedly replied, "Master, I am Zeke Williams. You are Pietro White, right?”

Zeke had previously speculated that the person beneath the great river was his master, Pietro White.

The current form of the water man wasn't very clear, and his appearance was distorted and deformed. Hence, Zeke couldn't confirm if he was indeed Pietro.

Regardless of whether it was Pietro or not, Zeke chose to pay his respects and acknowledge his relationship with Pietro first.

Having more masters is better than having none anyway.

Judging by the tone of the water man, even if he wasn't Pietro, he had to be someone related.

The water man asked, “Pietro? I do seem to have that name. Memories fade over time, and I almost forgot about it. Let me ask you, how long have you been my disciple?"

Zeke replied, "Over ten years."

No wonder.

Realization dawned on the water man. "Come, let me verify if you're truly my disciple."
