Chapter 1084: Chapter 128: Where Is the Path to Immortality (90) — Progress on the Other Side
“How is it?”
True Person Huanyang returned to the side of Ming Tus Mountain with a face full of helplessness—after exploring this place, nothing of value was found aside from a large number of strange containers, exotic species specimens within those containers, and some bizarre containers.
Ming Tus Mountain shook his head as he looked at Yan Liu lying on the ground, “There’s a powerful Cold Force sealed within this child, it seems even his consciousness is frozen. If we can’t break this Cold Force, it might be difficult to awaken him.”
“I see…” True Person Huanyang furrowed his brows, then looked at the Daoist Huangmu who was guarding the entrance, “What’s the situation outside?”
Daoist Huangmu hurriedly replied, “Those metal boxes haven’t returned for a long time, they might have already left! Vice-president, what do we do now?”
After all, continuing to hide here is not a solution—True Person Huanyang grit his teeth and said, “Let’s leave this place for now and then decide.”
Ming Tus Mountain agreed with True Person Huanyang’s plan and ordered someone to carry the unconscious Yan Liu. The group quietly opened the door of this strange place, concealed their aura, and cautiously walked outside.
Just after walking a short distance, the group from Ming Tus Mountain heard bursts of explosions from within the passage—the sound was so violent that Ming Tus Mountain and the group felt a sense of terror!
“It seems…something is forcibly breaking in here?”
Because it felt like someone was violently breaking through the passageways in this place, rampaging straight through!
“No wonder those metal boxes are gone; it seems they’ve been drawn away… but I wonder what kind of divine entity this is.” A middle-aged Taoist from the survivor’s squad expressed his concern.
“Let me take a look.” True Person Huanyang took a deep breath, pinched a magic formula, and muttered words under his breath—the last moment, True Person Huanyang pointed his finger, “Mystery Mirror Technique!”
A face-sized Light Mirror immediately appeared in front of the surviving Dao Monster squad—in the mirror, a girl could be seen emanating an terrifying dark red demonic power, breaking through the passage layers like a human-shaped bulldozer, relentlessly advancing.
“This… who exactly is this girl!” Daoist Huangmu was horrified—the demonic power was so immense, that even from a distance, it caused a sense of confusion in his mind!
True Person Huanyang was staring intently at the girl overflowing with demonic power on the Mystery Mirror, and his brows were furrowed deeply, “Elder Ming, could this be…”
Ming Tus Mountain’s face showed a hint of joy, “Indeed! This is the Princess Zijun of the Xuanyuan Royal Family! Who would’ve thought she would appear here, truly unexpected! The last time I saw Princess Zijun was a century ago at her seven-hundredth birthday… only, she attended as a member invited by the Xuanyuan Palace Kun Department.”
True Person Huanyang stroked his beard and smiled, “Fate always finds a way, who would’ve thought Xuanyuan Palace would e to this place! Since the Princess Zijun appeared, the Xuanyuan Palace must be somewhere around… perhaps the Xuanyuan Palace discovered clues upon investigating the Jade Dragon Pillar, and came to rescue us!”
“Haha! The Xuanyuan Palace has a long history of supporting the country; if the true dragon is the protector of China, then Xuanyuan Palace is the defender of China!” Daoist Huangmu was exceedingly delighted, “Looks like we’re saved!”
Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives!
At this moment, the metal walls in the corridor where Ming Tus Mountain and the group were suddenly exploded, as the dark red demonic power surged into the corridor like a hurricane.
The girl from the Mystery Mirror rushed into the corridor at once!
It was none other than Princess Zijun, whom Ming Tus Mountain had mentioned!
Ming Tus Mountain, excited, exclaimed, “Old Zhong of the Black Tortoise Clan, pays respects to the Royal Princess, may I ask the Princess if…”
“No time! Go play on your own!”
Before Ming Tus Mountain could finish speaking, the girl didn’t even look and crashed headlong into the metal wall, breaking through it and continuing her rampage, leaving the survivor squad behind…
No time… no time… no time… time…
Ming Tus Mountain seemed to hear the echoing voice of the girl in the corridor, leaving him frozen in place—meanwhile, True Person Huanyang shouted, “Watch out!”
Only to see the passageway shattered by Su Zijun, as dozens of bat-Type Gaia and hundreds of metal boxes poured in frenetically!
A portion of the bat-Type Gaia and metal boxes split off and continued to chase Su Zijun, while the rest charged directly at Ming Tus Mountain and his group!
Dang it! What happened to the promised defenders of China?
The metal boxes already gave the survivor team a hard time, not to mention the lingering threat of seven bat-Type Gaia!
Having endured the annihilation of the Dao and Demon Association, they have an instinctive fear of Gaia from the bottom of their hearts!
“Don’t e here!!”
A scream erupted, and one of the demon clan members from the survivor team screamed fearfully and ran for their lives!
His escape triggered the others, including Daoist Huangmu, to follow suit as if a switch had been flipped, retreating madly!
Ming Tus Mountain regained his senses, shaken back to reality—seeing even the Princess from Xuanyuan Palace driven to flee by these Gaia, what could he say?
There’s no playing around, not ever—run!
The survivor squad, in a panic, scattered throughout the plex maze-like corridors!
It’s uncertain how long it had been, when they encountered a dead end, their faces turned gray with despair.
True Person Huanyang sighed deeply, realizing only a dying fight remained, “Everyone, if we are to perish, let it be spectacular!”
Releasing the Seven-Star Ancient Sword, this Taoist stood determinedly in front of everyone, his expression solemn and tragic, “Centennial Tribulation Leader, Huanyang apologizes to you!”
With a deep breath, True Person Huanyang gathered his mana, preparing to confront the attackers!
“Get down!”
In a flash, someone shouted… True Person Huanyang was startled, instinctively crouching down and raising his sword defensively!
At that moment, a swift figure darted through, slicing through the multitude of metal boxes, and cutting the seven bat-Type Gaia cleanly in half instantaneously!
True Person Huanyang widened his eyes in disbelief at this scene—seeing the last Gaia’s body split, fall, and explode, as a scarf-wearing youth emerged from the flames holding a sword.
“Whew, almost didn’t make it in time.” This youth remarked, looking at the old man crouching as if ready to ambush, “You guys, moving around so much made it hard to find you. Why couldn’t you just stay put?”
“Hah…” True Person Huanyang was momentarily stunned, instinctively glancing back at Ming Tus Mountain and the group, who all appeared bewildered and dazed.
“May I ask, who are you?”
“Hold on! One, two, three…” The young man pointed, counting those present, seemingly verifying numbers, then turned and shouted loudly, “Seven in total, just as you said, Lord Baijie, everyone on this side is here!”
Through the flames, Daoist Bai Jie and Wang Hu swiftly emerged, appearing before Ming Tus Mountain and his group.
“President!” At this moment, True Person Huanyang was filled with mixed emotions, and then his expression changed slightly, “Huang Baifu!”
However, the Young Master Bai Hu in front of them had lost an arm, looking terribly miserable!
“It’s so good to see you’re all okay.” Daoist Bai Jie’s gaze softened slightly, and he quickly said, “Everyone, don’t say anything, time is tight, and I’ve already found a way to leave.”
“Really!” exclaimed True Person Huanyang with joy!
Daoist Bai Jie nodded and looked towards the young man wearing a scarf beside him… Mister Da Zhe. Mister Da Zhe swung his sword into the air, slicing open a rift.
“President, who is this?” True Person Huanyang was once again surprised, unable to resist asking.
Unexpectedly, Wang Hu suddenly erupted, and before True Person Huanyang could react, Wang Hu kicked him swiftly, sending him directly into the rift!
Wang Hu’s movements were incredibly fast. Following True Person Huanyang, he rapidly kicked the entire surviving squad, including Ming Tus Mountain and Daoist Huang Mu, into the rift!
“Why say so much nonsense? Dillying and dallying like the Management Bureau back then!” Wang Hu looked at Daoist Bai Jie, “You can explain later when you get out!”
“So be it.” Daoist Bai Jie was shocked by this Young Master Bai Hu’s actions but had to admit that Huang Baifu’s approach was truly convenient and straightforward!
Mister Da Zhe gave Huang Baifu a thumbs-up, showing great appreciation for his method, “Brother Wang Hu, 666!”
Would it be possible to not call me Wang Hu…
Huang Baifu… Wang Hu sighed inwardly, then frowned, looking very unwell as he subconsciously rubbed his stomach.
“Hey, Brother Wang Hu, why don’t you go first? There aren’t many left.” Mister Da Zhe suddenly suggested.
So please, could you not call me Wang Hu…
Huang Baifu frowned, took a deep breath, and suppressed the strange disfort in his abdomen, then his face looked slightly better. He simply shook his head and said, “I’m fine! Focus on the important matters! Since we’ve e this far, quitting midway isn’t my style. Besides…”
Huang Baifu casually glanced at the Daoist Bai Jie beside him… Moreover, this old guy hadn’t left either.
He had witnessed the transaction between Bai Jie and Boss Luo and knew what kind of sacrifices Daoist Bai Jie had made… This made Huang Baifu genuinely admire the old Taoist.
“Thank you, Young Master Huang.” Daoist Bai Jie sighed.
Seeing Huang Baifu’s determination, Mister Da Zhe could only murmur, “Actually, I’ve warned you, if anything happens next, don’t blame me…”
Huang Baifu thought Mister Da Zhe was worried about him facing danger in the subsequent actions, which made him feel somewhat grateful, so he said, “Mister Da Zhe, I can take care of myself, don’t worry.”
You’re afraid you can’t withstand that young lady’s means…
Mister Da Zhe shook his head, then swung the Zhan Lu Sword, breaking open the metal ceiling above, “Then let’s go. There are several more floors above, and one more… Oh dear, why do these guys like to run around!”
Mister Da Zhe charged upwards, Daoist Bai Jie and Huang Baifu quickly following along.
…
…
“Huang Baifu, how dare you…”
True Person Huanyang’s angry voice had just begun, stopping abruptly—because in front of him, the oppressive metal corridor had vanished, and he was now seeing lush mountains and rivers, and… Mount Tai!
But around Mount Tai, a layer of dense fog surrounded it… and the scope of this fog was quite mysterious.
They made it out!
They really made it out!!
At this moment, True Person Huanyang felt like he was in a dream!
And at this moment, a voice filled with surprise also came at the same time, “You are… True Person Huanyang! Wonderful, True Person Huanyang!”
True Person Huanyang looked with astonishment at a man in a black suit approaching him quickly.
Behind this man, several tents could be seen, and beneath these tents, a lot of equipment was set up, with a group of people bustling about!
“Who are you?” True Person Huanyang frowned at this moment.
“My name is Chen He, I’m an intermediate agent from the Management Bureau, I’ve met True Person Huanyang!”
This man named Chen He appeared extremely excited, “Daoist, could you step aside? We want to study the passage behind you! It disappears every time!”
True Person Huanyang looked bewildered, and saw the group from the Management Bureau quickly moving a large amount of equipment, surrounding the spatial rift from where True Person Huanyang had emerged.
“Quick! Hurry! Based on previous experiences, this rift will disappear soon! This time we must capture its magnetic field data!”
But in the moment this group was busy, a figure rushed out from the rift at high speed, rolling onto the ground, cursing and speaking almost identical words to True Person Huanyang!
“Huang Baifu! How dare you… huh?”
The one who appeared was none other than the second victim of Huang Baifu’s flying kick, Ming Tus Mountain!
Thus, the scene turned quite interesting. Every few tens of seconds, a figure would emerge from the rift in an awkward pose, speaking almost identical words…
True Person Huanyang and Ming Tus Mountain, from their initial astonishment, gradually became numb, as the group from the Management Bureau worked as if their lives depended on it.
At this moment, when the last person, Daoist Huang Mu, rolled out but hadn’t had time to curse, the rift suddenly vanished.
“Damn!! We failed to gather data again this time!!”
A middle-aged man in a white lab coat angrily threw his tablet to the ground and then sat on the ground looking dejected.
“What exactly… happened?” Ming Tus Mountain couldn’t help but deeply frown.
“Let me tell you, old turtle.”
Ming Tus Mountain instinctively turned around, only to see Cang Jinshui of the Azure Dragon Clan walking up with a solemn face, “Do you see the white fog near Mount Tai? Mount Tai has already bee a forbidden zone now…”
