Chapter 4770

Divine Soul Supreme's latest chapter!

Everyone in the hall became nervous, their gazes fixed on Gong Jinghuan.

The so-called Mountain Protector was to escort the offerings needed for the Mountain Sacrificial Ceremony up the divine mountain.

And the divine mountain was full of danger. The chosen Mountain Protector every year had to be someone with sufficient strength. Otherwise, it was very easy to be annihilated by exotic beasts halfway before the offerings were delivered to the divine mountain.

But this also meant that the danger of the Mountain Protector was extremely great. If one was not careful, it was very easy to lose one's life on the way to the divine mountain.

Therefore, every time the Mountain Sacrificial Ceremony, powerhouses who took the initiative to become Mountain Protector were few and far between. It was all assigned by the City Lord Manor.

Gong Jinghuan was in a great mood. This time, not only did he obtain the divine pill that Zhuowen gave him, but Zhuowen also took the initiative to become the Mountain Protector this time.

He was very clear that with a powerhouse like Zhuowen holding down the fort, the escort this time should not be too big of a problem. They should be able to send the offerings into the divine mountain smoothly.

"Everyone!

This time, there's a powerhouse who took the initiative to become the Mountain Protector! "Gong Jinghuan said with a slight smile.

In the main hall, everyone's eyes flickered, revealing looks of surprise.

They did not expect that there would actually be someone who took the initiative to become the Mountain Protector. This was a thankless job.

"This powerhouse who took the initiative to volunteer is the one beside me, Young Master Zhuowen!" Gong Jinghuan pointed at Zhuowen beside him and said with a smile on the corners of his mouth.

"I didn't expect it to be Lord Zhuo!

With Lord Zhuo taking charge of the Mountain Protector this time, it should be smoother! "

"Lord Zhuo's strength is much stronger than all of us. There shouldn't be any mishaps this time!

Even if I'm chosen, I'm also willing to go! "

"…"

In the banquet hall, the crowd discussed animatedly, their eyes filled with excitement.

To most people, the Mountain Sacrificial Ceremony was an extremely important event. If there was a powerhouse leading, it was naturally something that everyone would be delighted about.

Gong Jinghuan looked around and found that everyone's emotions were stirred up. The corners of his mouth could not help revealing a smile.

"Next, I'll start announcing the list of the other Mountain Protectors!

This Mountain Sacrificial Ceremony is very important to all of us. I hope that everyone can work together and not slack off! "

Gong Jinghuan spoke again and took out a jade slip. He put his mind into the jade slip and began to read the list of Mountain Guardians.

"Zhou Yan, Chen Yanqi, Wang Chenlong …"

However, all of the cultivators whose names were called out had excited expressions on their faces, and none of them had any objections.

They all knew that this time, with a great expert like Zhuowen following them, the team should be foolproof. Therefore, they didn't want to delay like before.

After reading the list, Gong Jinghuan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, please step forward!"

Crash!

As soon as he said this, a group of people walked out of the crowd and stopped not far from Zhuowen and Gong Jinghuan.

Zhuowen looked up and realized that there were more than ten Mountain Protectors this time. Their auras were not simple and they were basically all at the level of Heaven Spell Dao.

"Brother Zhuo!

Please come with me! "

Gong Jinghuan looked at Zhuowen and gestured politely.

Zhuo Wen nodded and followed behind Gong Jinghuan, whereas, the 65 plus cultivators that had been chosen followed closely behind.

After Gong Jinghuan and Zhuowen left, everyone in the banquet hall followed.

Xi Han led Xi Qiang, Yang Zuo, and Yu Hong at the front. They were still a little worried about Zhuowen. Although Zhuowen was indeed powerful, the divine mountain was even more dangerous.

In the past Mountain Sacrificial Ceremonies, there had been cases of powerhouses with no beginning of Dao techniques dying on the divine mountain. However, such cases were very rare.

In the center of the City Lord's Mansion, there was a large courtyard.

At this moment, there were two rows of boys and girls standing in the courtyard.

These boys and girls wore the same white brocade robes and white high crowns. All of them had their heads lowered and were silent.

On both sides of the boys and girls, there were all kinds of items. There were divine weapons, divine medicines, delicacies, nectar, and all kinds of offerings.

These offerings were placed in red chests and carriages. They were probably going to be transported to the divine mountain.

When Zhuowen was brought into the courtyard by Gong Jinghuan, he couldn't help but frown when he saw the scene before him.

There were more than a hundred boys and girls standing in the courtyard. All of them had their heads lowered and looked sad. Some of the girls even had tear stains on their cheeks.

Zhuowen didn't need to think to know that these boys and girls wouldn't be willing to become living sacrifices. However, they had no choice but to be at the mercy of others.

Around the boys and girls stood nearly a hundred armored soldiers. They were the guards who were going to the Divine Mountain this time. They were there to protect the boys and girls as well as to transport the offerings.

These soldiers were all elites carefully selected by the City Lord's Mansion. Therefore, all of them were of high quality and were not weak.

"Brother Zhuo!

You will lead this team to the divine mountain this time!

I hope everyone can return safely this time! "Gong Jinghuan cupped his hands at Zhuowen and said.

Zhuowen nodded and said, "Rest assured, City Lord!

This Zhuo will definitely do my best to escort the team safely to the divine mountain! "

Gong Jinghuan nodded and took out a jade slip. He handed it to Zhuowen and said, "Brother Zhuo!

What's recorded in this jade slip is the correct route to the divine mountain!

As well as how to place the offerings and where they should be placed, it's recorded clearly inside! "

Zhuowen received the jade slip. Although his face didn't show it, his heart was full of excitement.

He had once attempted to enter the divine mountain but didn't know the correct route at all and didn't dare to go too deep.

Now, with this jade slip, he should be able to avoid those dangerous places in advance when he entered the Hundred Beasts Forest again and reach the divine mountain smoothly.

"Two hours later!

Everyone, set off for the divine mountain!

When the time comes, I'll personally send everyone off!

Before that, I hope that everyone can get familiar with each other. After all, the trip to the divine mountain this time points to disaster. Everyone needs to get used to each other and work together as one when the time comes.

Tide over the difficulties! "

Gong Jinghuan cupped his hands and said seriously to everyone in the courtyard.

Hearing this, the dozen or so Mountain Guardians nodded and began to communicate. Of course, they were all trying to worm their way into being friends with Zhuowen.

Zhuowen didn't refuse them and chatted cheerfully with the other Mountain Guardians. In a short while, they became familiar with each other.

"Zhuo Xiaoyou!

This trip will be extremely difficult, so you must be careful!

If you really encounter danger, your own safety is the priority! "

Xi Han walked forward and advised with eyes full of worry.

Xi Qiang, Yang Zuo, and Yu Hong also came forward and said goodbye to Zhuowen.

They knew very well that Zhuowen might never return from this trip. As for the purpose of Zhuowen's trip to the divine mountain, they had long heard from Xi Han.

"You don't have to worry!

Nothing will happen to me. But you guys, if I'm not here, you still have to cultivate well. You also have to cultivate the Soul Technique that I've imparted to you! "

Zhuowen looked at Xi Qiang and the others and comforted them with a smile.

During this period of time, in order to repay Xi Han's help, Zhuowen had taught them some basic Soul techniques, allowing their Souls to have the opportunity to constantly strengthen and condense into substance, allowing them to carry out simple attacks.

As for the Soul Sword Intent, it was Zhuowen's secret, so he naturally wouldn't easily teach them.

But even so, the Soul technique was endlessly useful to Xi Han and Xi Qiang.
