Seeing the look in Wang Chong's eyes, the group couldn't help but slow down and avert their gazes, not daring to meet Wang Chong's gaze.
"What are you doing? This is a disciple of the evil path, and a disciple of the Demonic Emperor at that. Since ancient times, the righteous and evil paths have been irreconcilable. Do you want to reason with someone of the evil path? Everyone, attack with me and kill him! As long as someone in the martial arts world knows that we killed the Demonic Emperor's disciple, we'll be able to make a name for ourselves! "
Suddenly, a martial artist took two steps forward and shouted at the crowd.
"Brother Gu is right! Everyone of the evil path has the right to punish them! Everyone, attack together!"
Someone immediately stepped forward and said.
"Stop!"
Before these people could take action, a martial artist of impressive strength finally couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped forward to stand in their way.
"Whether you're from the righteous or evil path, all of you should at least be able to distinguish between gratitude and grudges. This young master has shown us kindness, but if we draw our blades against him, then we're worse than beasts."
"Brother Lu is right. How can we repay kindness with enmity? If anyone dares to attack this young master, I, Zhao Qi, will be the first to object!"
"That's right! A true man can distinguish between gratitude and grudges. If you want to attack this young master, you'll have to get through me first!"
"Gu Tong, you fellows are too shameless! Even I can't stand such a thing! I'm truly ashamed to be associated with you!"
"Scram!"
With one person taking the lead, more and more people stepped forward in an instant, blocking the path of that group of people.
"You, you're all crazy!"
"So many people are actually protecting a person of the evil path? Absurd!"
Seeing more and more people step forward to protect Wang Chong, Gu Tong and the others paled, and a hint of panic appeared on their faces. It was clear that they had never expected this situation.
"Interesting."
Within the cave, Wang Chong had been prepared to attack, but he had been caught off guard by this development.
But Wang Chong did not argue with them. While Gu Tong and the others were surrounded, Wang Chong took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him to vanish into a cave like a wisp of smoke.
I have to find a place to rest!
Wang Chong said to himself as he walked.
Although Wang Chong had gained a lot from fighting with the Nightmare Beast, he had inevitably consumed a lot of Stellar Energy. He needed to find a place to rest.
There were no more interruptions this time, and after around five minutes, Wang Chong was back to normal. He got up and set off into the distance. As he flew, weng, waves of Mental Energy immediately spread out like tentacles, extending toward the cavern in all directions.
In this battle, Wang Chong's biggest gain was the growth of his Mental Energy. Originally, when Wang Chong's Mental Energy spread out to explore the underground cave, it would immediately be affected by the ubiquitous Mental Prohibition and quickly dissipate. But after his Mental Energy had materialized, Wang Chong's Mental Energy had greatly increased, and he could finally explore the underground cave again.
Although he could not use it as freely as he could on the surface, and the range of Mental Energy exploration could not exceed a kilometer, it was already a great improvement for Wang Chong.
Weng!
Wherever Wang Chong's Mental Energy passed, the complex structure of the cave immediately reflected in Wang Chong's mind. With the help of the echo, Wang Chong's understanding of the underground cave immediately increased rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Chong had vanished from the cave.
… …
When Wang Chong killed the Nightmare Beast and headed deeper into the cave, the guardians of the Origin Immortal Treasury were in an uproar.
"Milord, it's not good! The Nightmare Beast has been killed!"
An Origin Immortal Guardian suddenly said.
"What?"
Everyone was stunned by these words, their first reaction being disbelief.
"Impossible! The Nightmare Beast has enormous Psychic Energy that no martial artist can compare to. Moreover, it's adept at weaving dreams. Not even we would dare to carelessly go down! "
"Correct! The Nightmare Beast was a powerful creature from the era of the Yellow Emperor. Not even the Yellow Emperor could kill it, let alone anyone else. We used the Dragonbeasts and Stellar-Piercing Beetles to drive them into the Nightmare Beast's nest because we wanted to use the Nightmare Beast's abilities to kill them all in one go. How could the Nightmare Beast have been killed? This is absurd! "
"Are you mistaken?"
The guardians began to speak up.
The Origin Immortal Treasury was filled with many monsters and traps, some of which even they did not dare to recklessly approach. And of all these traps, the Nightmare Beast was the most terrifying.
"There can't be any mistake! The Nightmare Beast Fate Plate left behind by the Immortal Lord just shattered. The Fate Plate is forged from gold and copper, so if the Nightmare Beast wasn't dead, the Fate Plate would never shatter! "
The Origin Immortal Protector said, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
Bang!
These words rendered everyone speechless like they had been struck by lightning.
The Nightmare Beast was dead!
They wouldn't have dared to believe such a thing even if they were beaten to death. All of them felt an unprecedented shock.
Kaclack!
At this moment, the sound of joints cracking could be heard, quickly attracting everyone's attention.
"Milord!"
Everyone turned to the source of the sound, and when they saw that familiar figure, they all shivered.
"No one can kill the Nightmare Beast. It must have been the Demonic Emperor's disciple. He was the one who broke the Origin Immortal Formation, and he must have been behind the Nightmare Beast!"
The Origin Immortal Guardian standing at the very front had a gloomy expression, his teeth clenched, and his eyes exploded with killing intent.
"Everyone, hear my order! No matter what, we must kill that Demonic Emperor's disciple and all the other martial artists who entered the cave!"
As he spoke, the Origin Immortal leader flung his cloak and dove into the giant pit like a bird. Behind him, the eyes of the others became determined at this order. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. One, two, three … the group of Origin Immortal Protectors with powerful auras began to move along the walls of the massive pit, heading deeper into the depths.
Unlike the others, all the martial artists, including the Black Yin Ancestor and Song Yuanyi, had been very careful when entering the pit. But these Origin Immortal Guardians seemed to have no such misgivings. Their movements were practiced and practiced, and after tapping the walls of the pit, they began to descend with astonishing speed, vanishing into the darkness.
… …
"Haha, they've finally all moved out?"
Not long after all the Origin Immortal Guardians had vanished, the man with the three-eyed deer mask who had appeared briefly in the Origin Immortal Formation appeared at the edge of the pit in a flash of light. Behind him, three bamboo hat men appeared, standing in a line behind the masked man, the other men in black following suit.
"Milord, it seems like our missions overlap," the leader of the bamboo hat men said.
The leading bamboo hat man said. He appeared to be extremely respectful of the man with the three-eyed deer mask.
"Heh, there's no longer a mission for you or me. I just received the order that all of you are under my command. No matter the price, you must obtain that item. As for those martial artists in the cave … it seems like we'll have to repeat what we did one hundred years ago. The existence of God should not be made known to mortals. These mortals must all die! "
The masked man sternly said.
"We will obey Milord's orders!"
The three bamboo hat men did not seem surprised at all. It was apparent that they had known.
"But Milord, we clearly could have killed them all just now. Why did Milord stop us from doing it?"
The bamboo hat leader asked.
"Hmph! Who doesn't know how to kill? Haven't we killed enough people already? Without them leading the way, we'll never find that item. Let's go! Don't waste any more time! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the man with the three-eyed deer mask immediately flew into the huge crater in a flash.
Behind him, the rest of the group hesitated for a moment before disappearing as well.
… …
"This should be the place!"
As Wang Chong flew through the cave, his Psychic Energy constantly matching the Nightmare Beast's memories with the structure of the cave. Wang Chong immediately picked up speed.
The Nightmare Beast had lived underground for a very long time and knew the structure of the cave like the back of its hand. Although the Origin Immortal Lord had not told him where the Origin Immortal Palace was hidden, the Nightmare Beast's memories were enough to point him in the right direction and provide him with a great deal of assistance.
After several thousand meters, the number of branching caves decreased, and the layout was no longer as complicated. Wang Chong knew that he had found the right direction. More importantly, his Psychic Energy had revealed to him that there was a massive cavern in front of him, seemingly endless. Here, the path seemed to have reached its end.
"Let's go in!"
With a thought, Wang Chong immediately picked up his speed and headed toward that massive space. In the blink of an eye, Wang Chong had emerged from the cavern and entered this massive space.
Hiss!
But before Wang Chong could clearly make out what was going on around him, he heard a hiss, and then a dark green poison fog swept toward him with a mountain-toppling momentum.
In his blurred vision, Wang Chong could even 'see' thin threads shooting out of the green fog.
