Chat group: All my group members are in the villain camp

The group boarded Wang Lei's boat and headed towards Misty Island.

During the voyage, Ye Ming asked Wang Lei for more information about Misty Island.

"It is said that a mysterious old man lives there,"

Wang Lei said, "He seems to know a lot of secrets."

Ye Ming nodded and said, "It seems we need to find this old man."

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened.

A strange mist drifted in from afar and quickly enveloped the entire ship.

"careful!"

Ye Ming shouted, "There might be an ambush!"

Before the words were finished, several dark figures suddenly darted out from the mist.

"They're from the Soul Palace!"

Chu Yanran exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Ming immediately drew his Xuanhuang Sword and looked around warily.

"Hahaha……"

A sinister laugh rang out.

A tall man in black robes emerged from the mist.

"Ye Ming, we meet again."

The man in black robe sneered.

Ye Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "It's you, Elder of the Soul Hall."

The elder of the Soul Hall sneered, "That's right, this time I won't let you escape again!"

As he spoke, he waved his hands, and several streams of black energy rushed towards Ye Ming.

Ye Ming held the Xuanhuang Sword and unleashed a powerful strike.

"boom!"

The powerful sword energy dispersed the black mist.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Soul Hall elder, who said, "It seems your strength has improved again."

Ye Ming sneered, "Likewise."

The two clashed instantly, and a fierce battle was about to erupt.

Meanwhile, the others also found their own rivals.

Luffy shouted "Gum-Gum Rocket!" and punched a man in black robes.

Lin Qingxue used her magic to fight another man in black robes.

Chu Yanran and Wang Lei then joined forces to deal with the remaining enemies.

The battle lasted for quite a while, and both sides were somewhat exhausted.

Just then, the elder of the Soul Hall suddenly shouted, "Retreat!"

Upon hearing this, the remaining men in black robes retreated.

Ye Ming wanted to give chase, but was stopped by the elders of the Soul Palace.

"Don't get cocky, kid. This is just the beginning. We'll be back next time!"

After saying that, he threw out a smoke bomb and took the opportunity to escape.

When the smoke cleared, the people from the Soul Palace had vanished without a trace.

Ye Ming frowned and said, "They got away."

Luffy scratched his head and said, "What a strange bunch of guys."

Wang Lei said, "At least we protected the ship."

Lin Qingxue asked worriedly, "Ye Ming, are you alright?"

Ye Ming shook his head and said, "I'm fine. But..."

He looked into the distance, lost in thought, and said:

"What is the purpose of the Soul Hall's visit this time? Is it merely to test our strength?"

[Jiang Tong (Naruto World): Be careful, Ye Ming. The Soul Hall people definitely won't give up easily.]

Ye Ming nodded and said, "I understand. We need to speed things up."

Just then, a bell rang out in the distance.

"That is……"

Wang Lei exclaimed in surprise, "The guiding bell of Misty Island!"

Ye Ming's eyes lit up and he said, "Great, we've found the right direction."

The ship sailed in the direction of the bell and soon arrived at an island shrouded in mist.

"This is it."

Wang Lei said, "The legendary Misty Island."

The group disembarked and cautiously entered the mist.

The scenery on the island is breathtaking.

Ancient buildings, mysterious runes, and all sorts of strange plants...

"This place is like a huge maze."

Chu Yanran said.

Ye Ming nodded and said, "We need to be careful. The people from the Soul Palace may have already been here."

The group proceeded cautiously, encountering strange mechanisms and traps from time to time.

Fortunately, thanks to Ye Ming's keen senses, they were always able to avoid danger in time.

After walking for a long time, the group arrived at an ancient altar.

The altar was inscribed with many strange symbols, and there was a groove in the middle.

"here……"

Ye Ming said thoughtfully, "It seems to be a place for some kind of ritual."

Just then, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out:

"Young people, you've arrived."

Everyone was taken aback and looked in the direction of the sound.

An elderly man with white hair appeared beside the altar at some unknown time.

"Senior, you are... "

Ye Ming asked tentatively.

The old man nodded and said, "I am the guardian of this island. You have come for the Qiankun Cauldron, haven't you?"

Ye Ming was taken aback, not expecting the old man to be so direct.

He nodded and said, "Yes. May I ask if you know the whereabouts of the Qiankun Cauldron?"

The old man glanced at Ye Ming and said, "I know. But getting it won't be that easy."

Ye Ming respectfully replied, "This junior is willing to accept any test."

The old man smiled and said, "Very good. So, are you ready to accept the challenge?"

The group exchanged glances and nodded firmly.

The old man said with satisfaction, "Very good. Now, the first challenge..."

He pointed to the altar and continued:

"You need to unravel the mystery of the runes on this altar. Only the correct answer can open the path to the next level."

Ye Ming carefully observed the symbols on the altar and fell into deep thought.

These symbols seem to have no pattern, but upon closer inspection, they are subtly connected.

"These symbols..."

Ye Ming muttered to himself, "It seems to represent some kind of element..."

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.

"I understand!"

Ye Ming exclaimed excitedly, "This is an elemental cycle!"

He pointed to the symbol and explained:

"Metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal..."

As Ye Ming explained, the symbols on the altar suddenly lit up.

With a loud rumble, the altar slowly slid away, revealing a downward staircase.

The old man nodded approvingly and said, "Not bad, you have passed the first test."

Everyone cheered and jumped for joy, ready to move on to the next level.

Chapter 1332 Even Masters Pay the Price! (Begging for Full Subscription)

[Yun Shanshan (Dou Qi World): That's amazing, Ye Ming! You're so smart!]

Ye Ming smiled slightly and led everyone down the steps.

At the end of the stairs lies a spacious underground space.

In the center of the space was a huge maze.

The old man's voice echoed in the air: "This is the second level. You need to find the correct path in the maze."

"But be careful, there are many traps and illusions in the maze."

Ye Ming nodded and said, "I understand."

He turned to his companions and said, “We have to be careful. Stay close to me.”

And so, the group began their maze adventure.

Just as the old man had said, the maze was indeed full of traps.

In some places, sharp spikes suddenly appear, while in others, there are bottomless pits.

Even more terrifying are those illusions.

Sometimes, Ye Ming would see Lin Qingxue suddenly disappear.

Sometimes, Luffy sees himself trapped in an invisible box.

But Ye Ming was always able to see through the crisis in time.

"These illusions..."

Ye Ming said thoughtfully, "It seems to be a test of our resolve."

He reminded everyone, "Whatever you see, remember it's just an illusion. Trust yourself, trust your companions."

Under Ye Ming's leadership, the group moved forward step by step.
