Shen Luo saw Sun Wukong walking out with a serious expression through the charred and empty gate of the stronghold. His eyes were overflowing with anger, and his fiery golden eyes were already covered with a hint of blood.
"How did it affect this place?" Fu Donglai couldn't understand.
Shen Luo wasn't surprised. He knew the relationship between Mount Fangcun and the Village of Longevity. He knew that many people from the Village of Longevity had entered Mount Fangcun to cultivate immortal techniques. They were naturally fans of Mount Fangcun and wouldn't stand idly by when outsiders were besieged.
"The woodcutter who showed me the way to Mount Fangcun was from this village … Since they've gone this far, don't blame me for enlightening them."
After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he pulled off the kasaya that was draped diagonally on his body. Flames rose behind him, and a bright red cloak fluttered without wind.
They left the Village of Longevity and soon arrived at the foot of Mount Fangcun.
At the entrance of the mountain gate, it was as quiet as usual. Only the chirping of birds could be heard, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Sun Wukong was the first to arrive at the wooden archway. He leaped and was about to enter.
Suddenly, the archway shone brightly. A five-colored light shone from within, emitting a strong wave that forced Sun Wukong back.
"My King, the Protective Mountain Array is still here. It seems like nothing happened to Mount Fangcun," Marshal Ma said.
Sun Wukong didn't say anything. Instead, he made a hand seal and chanted a few words. Then, he raised his hand and reached into the archway.
However, just as his hand reached into the archway, the five-colored light shone again and blocked him outside.
"Hmph, you can't even enter the Gate Opening Art that Master taught me? Aren't you forcing me to use my unique skill of pushing walls and smashing doors? " Sun Wukong snorted. With a twist of his wrist, golden light gathered in his palm. A shining golden staff appeared in his hand.
He held the Ruyi Jingu Bang with one hand and took a step forward. His body instantly expanded several times and became even taller than the archway.
With a twist of his arm, rings of golden light surged out from his body.
Shen Luo could feel the strong aura of the Huangting Scripture, but he did not see the shadow of the Dragon and Elephant. He thought that Sun Wukong had already integrated the power of the Dragon and Elephant and did not need to show it.
Just as he was pondering, the Ruyi Jingu Bang that Sun Wukong was spinning had already released a surging aura. The body of the Ruyi Jingu Bang buzzed incessantly, and the force of the mountains stacked on top of each other as it smashed towards the gate.
"Rumble!"
As the Ruyi Jingu Bang, wrapped in layers of golden light, approached the wooden archway, dazzling five-colored lights lit up both inside and outside the archway. Only then did the Protective Mountain Array reveal its full appearance.
The multicolored light curtain that extended thousands of feet into the sky spread out. The moment the Golden Cudgel smashed into it, a magnificent wave rippled out. Layers of golden waves surged out violently with infinite power.
"Boom!" A heavy muffled sound was heard.
Sun Wukong's body was hit by the golden light and directly flew out.
Halfway through, he twisted his body forcefully and appeared on the other side of the multicolored light curtain in a flash. He swung the Ruyi Jingu Bang again and smashed it towards the light curtain.
"Rumble!" An even more intense shock wave surged over. Sun Wukong was sent flying again.
This time, his body was sent flying backwards for more than a hundred feet. Then, he suddenly changed his direction in an extremely unreasonable arc, and rushed directly into the sky. Soon, he disappeared from the sight of Shen Luo and the other man.
However, after a short while, an earth-shattering roar came from the top of Fangcun Mountain.
"Rumble!"
The entire mountain range shook violently. The Protective Mountain Array of Fangcun Mountain, which seemed to be impregnable, shattered with a loud roar. Countless golden light scattered and escaped in all directions.
At this moment, Shen Luo saw a person flying back and forth in the sky, and he held a talisman marking book made from golden silk brocade in his hand. The talisman was emitting a golden glow, and it gathered back the golden lights that were ceaselessly flowing out.
After a while, that person landed on the ground. It was naturally Sun Wukong.
Seeing Shen Luo and Sun Wukong looking at him in confusion, Sun Wukong explained, "This is the core item of the Protective Mountain Array of Fangcun Mountain. If I didn't know where it was, I wouldn't have been able to break the array so quickly."
"Great Sage, since the array is broken, what are you doing?" Shen Luo pointed to the remnant golden halo and asked.
"You can't even understand this? Naturally, I'm gathering the spiritual qi back. Sigh … I've lost at least half of the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. If Master knows, he'll scold me for being a wastrel again. "Sun Wukong sighed as he spoke.
After the Protective Mountain Array of Fangcun Mountain dissipated, black smoke could be seen everywhere. Seeing this scene, the few of them became anxious again.
"Great Sage, there's no time to lose. Let's go up the mountain as soon as possible," Shen Luo said hurriedly.
Just as they rose into the air, they saw a figure stumbling down from the sky. Sun Wukong hurriedly grabbed at the air, and an invisible force appeared from the void and rescued that person.
Sun Wukong slowly pulled the person in front of him. When he saw the person's face, he couldn't help but cry out.
"Senior Martial Brother Jue An …"
The person had a medium build and a round face. His clothes were tattered and stained with blood. It was Subhuti's personal disciple, Jue An.
"Sun Wukong, it's really you. You … you're back?" When Jue An saw Sun Wukong and the others, his eyes lit up with hope.
"Senior Martial Brother, I'm back. How's Master? How's the situation on the mountain? "Sun Wukong stepped forward and supported Jue An.
"Just yesterday, a group of unknown cultivators came to our Mount Innerheart under the pretext of visiting the mountain. After they were rejected, they attacked our Mount Innerheart disciples. We fought them with our lives, but …" Jue An's tone was hurried, and his words were hurried. He couldn't continue speaking at this point.
"Senior Jue An, who were those people? How did they break the Mountain-guarding Formation?" Shen Luo couldn't help but ask.
"The invaders were led by Erlang Zhenjun and Yang Jian from Overwave City, Hua Shiniang from Coiling Silk Cave, and Six-tusked Elephant King from Lion Camel Ridge. They didn't break the Mountain-guarding Formation because there was a traitor in Fangcun Mountain who opened the formation for them. They broke into Fangcun Mountain without shedding a drop of blood, and then massacred our disciples …"
Shen Luo was shocked when he heard this. The leaders were obviously three Primordial Immortals. He had seen Six-tusked Elephant King's strength, and he knew Yang Jian's combat strength. Coupled with Hua Shiniang, whose strength he didn't know, how dangerous was Fangcun Mountain's situation?
"In addition to these three top combatants, there were more than a dozen sects, big and small. They gathered hundreds of cultivators, and most of them were True Immortals. We couldn't resist them at all, and were forced to retreat," Jue An continued.
"What about Master? Can't he stop them?" Sun Wukong asked hurriedly.
