Dong——
The sound of water breaking rang out.
Under the water surrounding Su Mu, nine figures emerged, encircling Su Mu at the center.
At the critical moment, Su Mu released his right hand, allowing the burly man to escape, tapping the water, and returning to the ice surface.
.....
The nine figures exuded a faint golden-red celestial glow.
They wore identical white Taoist robes and ghost-face masks of nine different shapes, hiding their features. They were bald, resembling monks.
After the nine figures appeared, they formed a circle, placing Su Mu at the center.
The next moment, the nine figures sat cross-legged on the water, hands clasped, muttering as though reciting scriptures.
Soon, golden Dharma Seals floated out, forming an array, trapping Su Mu inside.
Su Mu sensed something was amiss.
He prepared to dive underwater.
But was shocked to find he could no longer enter the water, completely trapped by the array.
