But just as this thought flitted through his mind, there was a boom as the ceiling of the cave next to Wang Chong collapsed. Dirt and gravel fell from above, revealing a hole several feet wide. A stone staircase could be seen at the entrance.
Wang Chong was struck dumb by this sight, and then a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
Before this, Wang Chong had known almost nothing about the Origin Immortal Lord. Moreover, as the King of Foreign Lands that had been personally conferred by the Holy Emperor, an existence close to the Subtle realm, the Origin Immortal Lord was very powerful, but Wang Chong felt that no matter how strong he was, he could not be much stronger than him.
But the moment the cave entrance collapsed, the Origin Immortal Lord gave Wang Chong an unfathomable feeling, completely different from before. The Origin Immortal Lord seemed to know his every move, even his thoughts. Not even one thousand years of time could obstruct his eyes.
"Senior, many thanks!"
Wang Chong quickly flew up the stairs and out of the cave.
Whoosh!
The moment he left the cave, he heard a howl that sounded like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves. At the same time, countless grains of sand battered Wang Chong's body and then fell back down. Wang Chong could only see a vast expanse of yellow sand.
This is … the Qixi Desert!
In shock, Wang Chong recognized his surroundings. This was the Moheyan Desert of Qixi.
"The Origin Immortal Formation actually transported me here!"
A hint of surprise flashed through Wang Chong's eyes.
As the sky darkened, Wang Chong took a moment to determine the direction and swiftly headed north.
Not long after he left, unbeknownst to Wang Chong, the ancient and mottled stone stele in Moheyan Qi's underground cave began to crack, and then it shattered into countless fragments that fell to the ground.
…
The Origin Immortal Formation was to the northwest of the Moheyan Desert, and Wang Chong was flying in that direction. Around six hours later, Wang Chong sensed three familiar energies. Almost at the same time, an old voice filled with excitement suddenly entered his ears.
"Chong-er!"
In the north direction, under the thin starlight, three figures flew all the way in the direction of Wang Chong.
"Master!"
Wang Chong's face was also filled with surprise. He immediately headed towards his master and the others.
"Hahaha, Wang Chong, it's really you!"
The moment they met, the short Formation Elder gave Wang Chong a fierce hug, an excited look on his face.
"Little guy, we've been looking for you for a long time!"
Although Wang Chong was not his disciple, the Formation Elder treasured Wang Chong even more than the Evil Emperor.
Wang Chong had only been learning formations from him for a short period of time, but he had already broken the world's number one formation. The Formation Elder now viewed Wang Chong as a treasure.
"Master, how did you find me?"
Wang Chong did not notice the Formation Elder's strange expression. He looked at his master in surprise.
"We searched almost the entire northwest, but we couldn't find any trace of you. In the end, it was your master who said that we should see if you were in the Moheyan Desert. Although this place is uninhabited and rarely visited by birds and beasts, it's the only place we haven't searched. "
An elderly voice came from the side as Chief Wushang slowly walked forward, leaning on his white cane. He looked at Wang Chong said with a gratified look on his face.
The Chief Wushang had no chance of entering the Origin Immortal Formation. He had been separated from the Demonic Emperor and the others, and in the end, it was only after the Demonic Emperor and the others had left the formation that they encountered him in the northwest.
Creee!
At this moment, the shrill cry of a bird came from the sky.
The four of them raised their heads in unison. In the deep darkness and shrouded in dark clouds, it was impossible to see anything clearly. But in the dim starlight, they could see a large bird spreading its wings and flying off in another direction.
"Chong-er, this isn't the place to talk. Let's leave first."
The Evil Emperor looked away and narrowed his eyes, his expression extremely grave.
"Master, what's going on? Is it the people of the Zhengqi League? "
Wang Chong said had also sensed that something was wrong.
It was already very late, and Wang Chong had believed that he could at least chat with his master for a little while. But it seemed that while the Origin Immortal Formation had been broken, the matter in the northwest was far from over.
"It's not the people of the Zhengqi League who are looking for us."
The Evil Emperor shook his head, his expression solemn.
"It's all the martial artists of the northwest, including the Five Ancestor Alliance and the Zhengqi League, who are looking for you. The formation left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord is rather unique. Everyone saw how you broke the formation in the core. "
"What!?"
Wang Chong was stunned by these words.
"In our search for you, we encountered several groups of people and exchanged blows with them. But their target is not us, but you. Everyone believes that you have grasped the key to the Origin Immortal Formation. "
Chief Wushang added.
"Not only that, the news of the northwest has already leaked out, and many old fellows of the martial arts world who usually don't show themselves have heard the news and rushed over. Your master's prestige in the martial arts world was enough to suppress some people, but not even your master can stand up to them now. "
The Formation Elder looked at Wang Chong and said.
Both of them wore the same grave expression.
Wang Chong instantly fell silent. It was obvious that many things had happened while he had been unconscious and transported away by the Origin Immortal Formation. Although the Origin Immortal Formation had been broken, the situation in the northwest had become even more grim.
"Let's go! They'll be here soon!"
The Evil Emperor said concisely.
The group of them made their moves and quickly headed into the distance.
As he left, the Demonic Emperor Old Man casually flicked his finger behind him without even turning his head. In the next instant, there was a mournful cry, and that eagle, which had already flown several thousand meters away, suddenly fell from the sky like a kite with its string cut, crashing into the ground.
"We're too late! They've already left!"
"Relax! They can't have gone far!"
Not long after Wang Chong's group left, several figures appeared where Wang Chong's group had been standing, their eyes as cold as winter as they scanned the area before vanishing.
… …
Bang!
A stone the size of a millstone was tossed to the ground, followed by a second, a third … Ten-some irregular stones were scattered around the area in a certain pattern.
Then, with a series of rumbling sounds, surging astral energy poured into them, and the dozen or so stones immediately disappeared.
"The formation has been set up. Once you enter, your auras will be isolated. You should be able to hide from the Five Ancestor Alliance and Zhengqi League for a while!"
The Formation Elder's voice resounded in their ears.
He waved his sleeve, and a door appeared before them. The scenery inside and outside the door was completely different.
"Enter!"
The Demonic Emperor Old Man was the first to enter the formation, and the others followed closely behind.
With a boom, the formation closed, and the Demonic Emperor Old Man and the others vanished. Even if he walked closer, it was empty, and he couldn't see anything.
Within the formation, four people were seated cross-legged, with Wang Chong in the center and three elders around him.
"Chong-er, what happened in the formation? Did you really obtain the key treasure left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord? "
Once everything was settled, the Evil Emperor was the first to break the silence. Since the Origin Immortal Art was involved, it was not appropriate for the others to speak, so the Demonic Emperor was the most suitable person to ask.
"It's a long story. Although I truly did obtain the treasure in the Origin Immortal Formation, your disciple does not know if it was the key treasure left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord."
Wang Chong had always been magnanimous and respectful to his master, so he did not hide anything and explained everything that had happened in the Origin Immortal Formation.
The Origin Immortal War Banner, the Origin Immortal Formation diagram, and the red pearl were all taken out by Wang Chong and placed in front of his three elders. Anyone else would have treated these three treasures with utmost importance and would have never revealed them, but these three were his respected masters, so Wang Chong naturally had nothing to hide.
"The Origin Immortal War Banner! It really is the Origin Immortal War Banner!"
"There's even a diagram!"
"With these two treasures, we'll have the world's number one formation! These are priceless treasures!"
The Formation Elder was the first to lose his patience. He grabbed the Origin Immortal War Banner and then the formation diagram on the ground, his eyes wide with excitement.
To the Formation Elder, who had spent his entire life studying formations, these two treasures were fatally enticing, far more than the world's number one Origin Immortal Art.
Wang Chong silently smiled at this sight. He was not at all surprised by the Formation Elder's reaction. If not for this, it would have been more surprising.
Unlike the others, the Evil Emperor and the Chief Of Wushang said nothing, but their gazes coincidentally fell on the blood-red pearl on the head of the black beast statue Wang Chong had taken out.
"Let me take a look at that pearl!"
The Demonic Emperor Old Man's eyes were bright as he extended a hand. A moment later, the blood-red bead rose into the air and returned to his hand.
With a thought, the Demonic Emperor Old Man sent a stream of Stellar Energy out of his body and into the blood-red pearl. Rumble! There was an intense rumbling as the pearl in the Demonic Emperor Old Man's hand began to glow and float six or seven inches above his head.
At this moment, even the Formation Elder put down the formation diagram and war banner, all four of them focusing on the pearl. All of them could sense that this thumb-sized and unremarkable blood-red pearl exuded powerful ripples of energy.
These ripples were enough to make any expert pale in comparison, and even the energy in the Evil Emperor's body paled in comparison.
