Hagin led the two men to the dungeon. A guard came walking their way, who shot Hagin with a knowing look.


    Hagin turned to the two men. "You can wait here for a bit. I''ll be right back."


    He followed the guard into a room after that, where Hagin stood before Ramos, the merfolk emperor.


    Ramos'' back was turned to Hagin. "How powerful are the two human cultivators?"


    Hagin bowed. "Emperor Ramos, the two human cultivators are extremely powerful. Even Commander Miller was no match for them. That guy, Wilbur Penn, can even wield middle-dimensional powers. I think our n to keep the eighth dragon cauldron in the underwater city might fail."


    "Oh, really?" Emperor Ramos looked calm. "Wilbur Penn really does have the protection of the middle dimension elites. It seems like Senior Fremont was right."


    "What? Senior Fremont''s mentioned him before?"


    "That''s right. Back in the day when Senior Fremont left the eighth dragon cauldron here and made that agreement with us, he told me right before he left that the person who would take the cauldron away would be a cultivator protected by the middle dimension elites. It turns out that he was absolutely right."


    Hagin was shocked. "Emperor Ramos, are you saying that you told me to fudge the checkpoints from before just to test these two human cultivators, and you have no intention to keep the eighth dragon cauldron?"


    "That''s right. The eighth dragon cauldron might be brilliant, but it''s actually Senior Fremont''s cultivation that I''m interested in."


    "Senior Fremont''s cultivation?"


    "Yes. It''s been said that cultivators from the upper dimensions have the power to see the future. That''s why these cultivators operate ording to a set of rules. But if that rule is disrupted, one can learn one of the upper dimensionalws." "How could someone from the upper dimensions be interested in some stupid cauldron? Anyway, I''ve got the situation under control. Bring them in there. It''s time something was done about the guy Senior Fremont left here."


    Ramos'' words left Hagin in shock. It was important to note that this was a lower dimension, and receiving the protection of the middle dimension elites was a dream for any cultivator here.


    However, there were next to no cultivators who received protection from the upper dimensions. Everyone knew that it was impossible unless they were handpicked by fate.


    After all, protecting cultivators from lower dimensions was considered humiliating to the upper-dimension cultivators.


    Learning the upper-dimensionalws was all the more impossible. It was said that every dimension had differentws, and it was positively delusional to even try and learn thews of a higher dimension.


    Hagin had thought that Ramos only wanted to keep the eighth dragon cauldron, only to discover that he wanted to learn thews of the higher dimensions instead. Based on what Hagin knew of Ramos, he would be sure to dominate all the lower dimensions if he seeded in doing so.


    Such greed was unthinkable to the merfolk, even to someone like Hagin. Ramos noticed Hagin standing there in shock, which made him frown. "What''s the matter? Do you have something else to say?"


    Hagin said, "There is something else, Emperor Ramos. You said before that I had


    to report to you about themanders. Today, Wilbur defeated Commander


    Miller in a battle. I yelled at Miller a little, and he ended up leaving and even saying that he would nevere back."
