Jili Laozu had truly done all he could to do this. As one of the titans of the martial arts world, an existence on the same level as the Black Yin Ancestor, he had never changed his mind for the sake of others.
Wang Chong was probably the only one who had ever done this.
Time ticked by, and Jili Laozu continued to draw the walking corpse even further away. A few moments later, Wang Chong pulled out the cracked WuZi Steel dagger and stabbed it into the ore vein.
Once, twice, thrice …
More and more cracks appeared on the WuZi Steel dagger, but Wang Chong seemed to not notice and continued to hammer away at the ore vein.
The air was tense. Their opponent was not only the fifth-generation successor, but also the air.
"Young Master Wang, we must go!"
Jili Laozu urged as he glanced outside. He didn't know what secret art the Origin Immortal Lord had used, but these walking corpses were not just corpses. They also possessed a certain level of consciousness. The fifth-generation successor, after moving several thousand meters away, was now changing directions and swimming toward the pair.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he reached them again.
"Wait a little longer!"
Wang Chong sternly said. His eyes were still focused on the metal vein in front of him.
Time ticked by, and the sound of the WuZi Steel dagger thundered through the earth, each sound seemingly striking at Jili Laozu's heart. In the distance, the Fifth Generation Walking Dead's aura was boundless, and the pressure he exuded was like a 'lighthouse' in the darkness. This' lighthouse 'was now less than three or four hundred meters away from the passage they were digging.
A few moments later, the fifth-generation successor would hear the sound of clawing and lunge at the pair.
"No, we have to go!"
Jili Laozu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
Bang! Bang! The WuZi Steel Dagger in Wang Chong's hand continued to strike the wall. Once, twice. Just when Jili Laozu was about to leave, suddenly, a crisp sound rang in his ears.
At that moment, the entire world seemed to have fallen silent. The only thing left in Jili Laozu's mind was that cracking sound.
"How is this possible?"
Jili Laozu shuddered and turned his head to look at Wang Chong. His eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.
Although he held a glimmer of hope in his heart, the probability was too small, less than one in ten thousand. Moreover, the mother lode formed in this kind of metal vein was harder than steel. It was impossible to drill through it, but Wang Chong did it.
Furthermore, it was during such a critical moment.
"Found the passage!"
A voice came from beside his ear. Wang Chong's expression was calm and incomparably calm. It was as if he did not notice Jili Laozu's reaction at all.
"This kind of vein is too hard. It's too difficult to form a mother lode on a large scale. It's just a mother lode that has just formed. As long as we hold on for a while, we'll be able to drill through it. "
After saying this, Wang Chong quickly removed the last obstacle in front of him. In a flash, he immediately entered the "passage" that had appeared in front of him.
Splash! The sound of water splashing could be heard. The living dead had almost reached the passage that the two of them were in. Jili Laozu's heart trembled. He did not have time to think and immediately followed Wang Chong into the passage above.
This passage was about a meter in diameter. It looked very strange in the vein. Wang Chong and Jili Laozu quickly moved forward. After about twenty or thirty meters, a huge bronze component in the shape of a handle immediately appeared in front of them.
The bronze component was covered with patterns and ancient seals and words. It looked very old.
"So there's a mechanism here!"
Jili Laozu's mind trembled as he stared at the massive bronze component. Suddenly, he understood.
He had felt an indescribable sense of strangeness while they were digging through the passage. The Origin Immortal Lord's plans had been flawless, and he could not have made such an obvious mistake. Moreover, this vein was very hard and thick. There was no reason for it to suddenly become so thin.
But when he saw the bronze component, Jili Laozu suddenly understood.
This was not an oversight on the part of the Origin Immortal Lord or a deliberate opening, but a last resort. He had set up a large number of important mechanisms in the core of this metal vein. The two of them had heard at least three loud mechanical noises when they were underground, and even the huge metal vein was shaking.
Such a huge commotion was definitely not something an ordinary trap could achieve.
Not only that, the Origin Immortal Lord had also set up a large number of formations underground. Peak Saint Martial experts could fly for a short time, but no one could do so here. Even birds would be pulled into the ground.
And then there were the vast Psychic Seals. The Origin Immortal Lord had to ensure that all the martial artists in a radius of several dozen li would be affected by these seals while also ensuring that they wouldn't be destroyed by other experts. In doing so, he had inevitably left behind some flaws in the vein.
The two of them had clearly encountered a 'passage' left behind by one of these mechanisms.
"Let's go. The underground palace is very complicated, and who knows where this passage leads to? Now is not the time to relax!"
Wang Chong's eyes flashed like lightning, and just like Jili Laozu, he scanned his surroundings. He had clearly understood, but that was all he said. Wang Chong immediately lowered his body and began to advance.
Wang Chong was very careful as he advanced through the passage, on guard against any danger that might appear around him. At the same time, he was constantly spreading out his Psychic Energy to investigate the surrounding terrain and where this mechanism led to.
The Origin Immortal Lord had six successors in total. In other words, there were six powerful checkpoints, and not even Wang Chong was sure where this mechanism led to.
If they could bypass all the checkpoints, Wang Chong and Jili Laozu would naturally be happy, but if they ended up going back to where they had started, the gains would not make up for the losses.
Until everything was revealed, no one would know the answer.
"We're here!"
After some time, Wang Chong and Jili Laozu finally reached the end of the mechanism.
Boomboomboom!
But before Wang Chong and Jili Laozu could figure out what lay beyond the passage, an explosion of energy mixed with furious howls came from up ahead.
"Myriad Energies Return!"
"Dragon Roaming the Firmament!"
Two furious roars came from up ahead. While Jili Laozu didn't notice, Wang Chong instantly paled.
"Master! Village Chief! "
Wang Chong called out and immediately leaped forward. Others might not know the names of these two techniques, but how could Wang Chong not? One was his master's Myriad Spirit Sea Art, and the other was Chief Wushang's White Dragon Divine Art.
When Wang Chong had entered the cave, he had lost contact with them, but Wang Chong had never imagined that he would hear their voices here.
Thwishthwishthwish! Wang Chong shot forward like a bolt of lightning. At the end of the passage was a thick metal wall.
"No! This metal wall is at least ten-some meters thick. It's impossible to force my way through. I have to find the mechanism as quickly as possible! "
At this moment, a voice spoke in his ear. It took only a few moments for Jili Laozu to understand.
The sounds of fighting outside the cave were extremely intense. Furious shouts, the clashing of Stellar Energy, and the hissing of air could be heard endlessly. The situation was clearly dire. But for some reason, the Chief Wushang and the Evil Emperor seemed unable to hear Wang Chong and Jili Laozu.
One of them was known as the number one of the evil path, a legendary figure of the martial arts world who had even reached the half-step Subtle level. The other, though not as powerful, was not far off.
An outsider would find it very difficult to imagine that anyone could force the Evil Emperor and the Chief Of Wushang into this state.
"There has to be a way! There has to be!"
Wang Chong was extremely worried, and his Psychic Energy surged out like a tide as he scanned his surroundings.
"These passages were prepared for the Origin Immortal Villagers. Since there's a way in, there's naturally a way out. They wouldn't have set up such a complicated opening mechanism for themselves, so the switch must be here, nearby. "
The situation outside was clearly not optimistic, and Wang Chong was constantly imagining the Origin Immortal Villagers appearing here and opening the mechanism.
Bzzz! Suddenly, as Wang Chong's finger brushed against the wall, he felt an abnormally cold sensation. Compared to the other walls, though there was no difference on the surface, the temperature was clearly much lower.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong poured a surge of Stellar Energy into his palm and then pushed it forward.
"Boom!"
A moment later, Wang Chong and Jili Laozu watched as a crack appeared in the thick metal wall, through which a gentle ray of light shone in.
The walls on either side of the crack were pulled apart, allowing Wang Chong to immediately see three figures engaged in fierce battle. One of them had a black robe and a head of hair, while the other had a white dragon flying around his body. These were none other than his master, the Evil Emperor, and the Chief Of Wushang.
In front of the two of them, vast and mighty golden light shone. Twenty-two magnificent buildings were magnificent and majestic, shaking heaven and earth. In front of these twenty-two floors was a man dressed in the clothing of the Eastern Han Dynasty, exuding an imposing aura as he single-handedly suppressed his master, the Evil Emperor, and the Chief Of Wushang.
The two of them appeared to be in disarray, and they were at a complete disadvantage. At any moment, they could be heavily injured by the Origin Immortal Art successor.
"Master!"
With no time to think, Wang Chong immediately leaped into the palace. Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong unleashed his Psychic Energy at the Origin Immortal Art successor. At the same time, Wang Chong summoned up his Stellar Energy, ignoring the danger of cultivation defect as he lunged forward.
"Great Destruction Art!"
Boom!
