Chapter 4776
"Let's move on!"
Zhuowen said calmly as he retracted his aura.
Everyone's respect for Zhuowen grew. Zhuowen's words were like an imperial edict to them, and no one dared to disobey him.
The group continued to move towards the peak of the Divine Mountain in an orderly manner.
Zhuowen discovered that the mountainside was shrouded in clouds and mist, blurring his vision and reducing his range of vision.
Moreover, the clouds and mist had the ability to block divine sense. Zhuowen's divine sense could only reach a range of a dozen meters at most.
What made Zhuowen feel relieved was that the number of evil spirits decreased significantly after they reached the mountainside. Of course, the evil spirits were also stronger.
However, Zhuowen's Primordial Grandmist Technique was extremely effective against evil spirits. Therefore, no matter how strong the evil spirits were, it didn't make much of a difference to Zhuowen. Most of them were devoured and refined by him, turning into his own energy.
Six hours later, Zhuowen and the rest arrived at a valley about a hundred meters away from the mountaintop.
There was an incomparably deep cave here.
There was an altar at the entrance of the cave.
The altar was forged from some kind of translucent jade, and at the top of the altar was a statue of a strange beast with a human head and a dragon body.
The thing that caught Zhuowen's attention the most was the pair of eyes that were especially bright, as if they could shoot out blazing rays of light.
At this moment, Zhuo Wen thought of that pair of golden eyes.
The statue's eyes gave him a feeling that they were too similar to the pair of golden eyes in the depths of the sea of clouds. In fact, they were exactly the same.
"We've finally reached the altar!
You guys, quickly place the top-grade resources around the altar! "
"And you guys, lead the young boys and girls into the cave!
Move quickly! "
"..." The mountain guardian led by the burly middle-aged man immediately began to arrange for people to place the sacrificial offerings around the altar.
As for the boys and girls, they lowered their heads submissively and stepped into the cave under the scolding of the soldiers with a worried expression.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Zhuowen stopped the soldiers.
Now, Zhuowen was as majestic as the heavens. Who would dare to disobey him?
"Milord!
What can I do for you? "
The soldiers stopped their actions, and one of the older soldiers hurriedly came forward and bowed.
"The Mountain Worshipping Ceremony only needs to place the sacrificial offerings beside the altar and place the virgin boys and girls in the cave. Will it be considered over?"
Zhuowen asked with a frown.
"Milord!
That is indeed the case. The previous Mountain Sacrificial Ceremonies have always been done this way! "
The soldier didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly replied.
"Did anyone enter the cave during the previous Mountain Worship Ceremonies?"
Zhuowen asked again.
The soldier's expression changed drastically. He quickly shook his head and said, "The cave is a sacred place. If you are not a virgin boy or girl, you are not allowed to enter. Otherwise, you will be punished by the sacred mountain!"
The burly middle-aged man hurriedly came forward and knelt in front of Zhuowen, saying, "My Lord!
We cannot enter the cave. Something bad will happen. Please reconsider! "The other Mountain Guardians knelt on the ground and begged Zhuowen.
They weren't fools. The moment Zhuowen said this, they understood that Zhuowen wanted to enter the cave to investigate.
"Don't worry!
I will not break the rules of the Mountain Worshipping Ceremony. After the sacrificial offerings are placed, I will go down the mountain with you! "
Zhuowen said calmly.
Hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They cupped their hands and bowed to Zhuowen. Then, they stood up and began to get busy.
While everyone was busy, they didn't see that Zhuowen had quietly taken out several Array Discs and placed them in a pile of rubble not far from the cave.
Two hours later, all the sacrificial offerings were placed. After the virgin boys and girls had entered the cave, everyone asked Zhuowen to go down the mountain with them.
Zhuowen naturally didn't refuse. He led the team down the Sacred Mountain.
This time, they were very fast. There weren't as many obstacles on the way as there were on the mountain. Most of the evil spirits had been dealt with when they went up the mountain.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, everyone was completely relieved. Then, Zhuowen ordered them to continue forward.
After a few hours, the team passed through the Hundred Beasts Forest and reached the outskirts of the forest.
"Everyone!
Let's part here. Please send my regards to the City Lord! "
Suddenly, Zhuowen turned around and cupped his hands at everyone. He then took out a Array Disc and crushed it.
Suddenly, a blazing white light enveloped Zhuowen. Then, Zhuowen's figure disappeared before everyone's eyes.
"Is this a teleportation wave?
Where is Lord Zhuo going? "
Everyone in the team stared at the white light that disappeared in front of them. They were all stunned.
After regaining their senses, they surprisingly all looked back at the Sacred Mountain in the depths of the Hundred Beasts Forest.
"I'm afraid Lord Zhuo has set up a teleportation formation on the Sacred Mountain in advance. He must have planned to return to the Sacred Mountain!
He came down with us because he wants to send us back to Yin and Yang City safely! "
The burly middle-aged man muttered to himself. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions, helplessness, and gratitude.
"Should we go after Lord Zhuo?"
A Mountain Protector whispered.
"We don't have Lord Zhuo!
How are we going to reach the top of the Sacred Mountain?
You must remember that it's all thanks to Lord Zhuo that we can return safely! "
The burly middle-aged man looked coldly at the cultivator who spoke. The latter quickly lowered his head, his eyes full of shame.
"Let's go!
Let's return to Yin and Yang City first. As for Lord Zhuo, I respect his decision! "
Kui?
After the burly middle-aged man finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left, heading toward Yin and Yang City.
Everyone looked at each other and didn't say anything. They followed the burly middle-aged man and left.
Not far from the cave at the top of the Sacred Mountain, a white light shot up into the sky from an inconspicuous pile of rubble.
A figure slowly walked out from the white light.
He was none other than Zhuo Wen.
"I want to see!
What's the secret in this cave? "
Zhuowen strode into the cave.
However, he didn't realize that the moment he stepped into the cave.
The sea of clouds around the Sacred Mountain suddenly raged, setting off terrifying waves of clouds that surged endlessly.
In the depths of the sea of clouds, a pair of golden eyes gradually lit up. They were like two inextinguishable divine lights that silently looked at the cave.
The cave passageway was so deep that it seemed to have no end. As Zhuowen continued to go deeper, he spread out his Divine Consciousness. His Divine Power kept surging in his body, and he was vigilant of the dangers that could appear at any time.
?
However, to Zhuowen's surprise, as he continued to go deeper, he didn't encounter any danger. There weren't even any traps in the cave. It was just like an ordinary cave.
"Eh?
I'm almost at the end of the cave … "Zhuowen turned a corner and saw a ray of dim light in front of him. His eyes were filled with excitement as he quickly walked out.
The moment he reached the end, he saw the scene behind him and couldn't help but be stunned.
