Chapter 1502

Since the one who spoke was Zi Chen, the one who came out was naturally Zi Chen, and it could only be Zi Chen.

The energy that was originally wrapped around Zi Chen once again intertwined, forming an energy platform that slowly carried Zi Chen out.

Looking at Zi Chen's relaxed expression, everyone's faces were filled with shock.

What was going on? Being carried out by energy?

Confusion appeared on the shocked crowd's faces. They did not understand what Zi Chen was up to.

It seemed that the mountain spirit inside was not dead, but if it was not dead, why did it not attack Zi Chen and instead sent Zi Chen out?

No one would believe that the two were friends.

They would not believe that they were relatives.

The only possibility was that Zi Chen had beaten the mountain spirit into submission, but what was the use of it?

This mountain spirit was so big that it was definitely a king. Once it was caught, it would probably be able to be exchanged for more luck points. It would be a huge loss to just beat it up and not kill it.

Everyone was puzzled, but their tense hearts relaxed because of Zi Chen's appearance.

Zi Chen was still alive, so they did not have to be buried with him.

Ye Ming, who originally disliked Zi Chen, actually felt a rare sense of familiarity when he saw Zi Chen smiling faintly. However, he quickly came to his senses and spat on the ground. This feeling of familiarity made him feel disgusted.

Shangguan Hong and the others stepped forward. Relatively speaking, they were not surprised. They had always believed that Zi Chen would be fine.

A few people stepped forward and nodded at Zi Chen with a smile.

"What happened? Why did it take you so long to come out?" The three guides descended from the sky.

"Something good happened, so there was a delay." Zi Chen smiled apologetically.

"Good thing."

Everyone could not help but be curious. One had to know that Zi Chen rarely said the word 'good thing'. Moreover, with everyone's current strength and experience, a good thing was naturally not a bottle of good wine or a piece of good meat.

Because this kind of thing was not a good thing.

Looking at the smug smile on Zi Chen's face rather than the apologetic one, it was obvious that this was a good thing.

Zi Chen turned his head and looked at the towering mountain peak. The smile on his face didn't fade as he said in a low voice, "Collect."

The word 'withdraw' was not loud, but it was transmitted into everyone's ears. Naturally, it was also transmitted into the mountain peak.

In fact, Zi Chen was just showing off. If he had kept a low profile, he could have done it with just a thought.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zi Chen in the next moment. Their expressions were puzzled, or perhaps they had guessed something, but they didn't dare to believe it.

Rumble!

The ground began to tremble violently, and everyone was unable to stabilize themselves.

Rumble.

The earth shook again, and many people began to sway.

Rumble, rumble.

The earth continued to tremble, sweeping up the surrounding space energy. It was as if the heavens were falling and the earth was splitting apart, as if the world was about to be destroyed.

Many people had no choice but to retreat because of the swirling Qi. As they retreated rapidly, their bodies also retreated continuously as they looked at the sky in horror.

The shaking of the heavens and earth was caused by the towering mountain peak. The collapse of the heavens and earth was also caused by the mountain peak … All of these movements were caused by the towering mountain peak.

At this moment, under the shocked and horrified expressions of the cultivators, the towering mountain peak was actually shrinking bit by bit.

The peak of the mountain peak, which was originally not visible, was now showing its tip, like a sharp thorn.

"Shrinking, the mountain peak is shrinking."

"Leader Zi Chen just said 'withdraw', and the mountain peak shrank. Could it be …"

"Could it be … Leader Zi Chen has subdued this mountain spirit?"

Voices filled with shock continuously sounded from behind.

Next to Zi Chen, the eyes of Man Shi and the others began to light up, and they couldn't suppress the joy on their faces.

As for the few titled individuals, or existences that were equivalent to titled individuals, their expressions became extremely interesting.

"It really is an unforeseen event, it really is an unforeseen event."

Hammer sighed and said, "If we knew this would happen, we would have waited a few more days. It's just a few days, not long at all."

Shan Lei nodded repeatedly and said, "It really isn't long, it really isn't long."

In the outside world, the people who had been nervous for the past few days were completely relieved.

"This kid … is really unexpected." The old man sighed again and again, but there was a hint of joy on his face.

"That's right. Originally, I wanted them to work together to get rid of this big guy. Who would have thought that he would go in alone, and when he came out again, he had actually subdued this big guy. This is truly … I am speechless." Another old man who looked to be in his prime said excitedly.

"This Zi Chen really has unlimited potential. No wonder he used so many resources just to break through to the next realm."

The others also couldn't suppress the joy on their faces.

This joy was partly because Zi Chen had subdued the mountain spirit, but more importantly, it was because Zi Chen had made it out alive.

One had to know that the leader, Zi Chen, had entered the Underworld with an important mission.

Ba Dao was right. If Zi Chen died, the others could forget about coming back.

Among the group, the old man was the most pleased. However, he suddenly thought of a question, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face. "This Zi Chen, he could have killed this big guy, but why didn't he kill it? Instead, he subdued it. Could it be …"

There was a hint of realization in the old man's eyes, but there was also a hint of disbelief, causing his expression to change drastically.

The people present had never seen such a change in the old man's expression before, and they were all very surprised.

Someone asked, but the old man interrupted him. He waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything, let's watch first."

Amidst the rumbling, the towering mountain shrunk to the size of a palm, then flew in front of Zi Chen, and was held by Zi Chen's palm.

The people gathered curiously and looked at this big guy.

"You subdued this guy. What use does it have?" Man Shi tilted his head and asked as he sized up the palm-sized mountain.

Zi Chen smiled and said, "Of course it's useful. It can be used as a weapon. I guarantee that it can kill a battle spirit with one strike. At a critical moment, it can also hold up the sky and guarantee that it won't be smashed to death."

The last sentence was obviously a joke, and it caused a burst of laughter.

Zi Chen's expression became serious, and he said seriously, "With it, our chances of survival will increase by 75%."

The three guides' expressions changed, and Ba Dao asked, "Why do you say that?"

Zi Chen weighed the mountain in his hand, then looked at a mountain at the end of his line of sight, and said in a low voice, "Subdue."

After he said that, the scene of the mountain shaking did not appear, but everyone's eyes were wide open, and their expressions were even more exaggerated than before.

The mountain that Zi Chen was looking at disappeared into thin air after Zi Chen said that.

"It's gone."

"Was it subdued?"

"The mountain was subdued by Zi Chen."

When the crowd turned around and looked at the mountain again, their expressions became very surprised, and their eyes began to shine as if they were looking at a rare treasure.

"Subdue."

"Subdue."

Zi Chen held the mountain in his hand like a naughty child, and said to the other mountains in his line of sight.

"Swish." "Swish."

There was no flash of light. However, the two mountains disappeared into thin air.

After testing it three times, Zi Chen explained with a smile, "It's the king of the mountain spirits, and it controls a group of subordinates. Now, this group of subordinates is under my control. Along the way, all of our movements were monitored by it, and none of our movements were exposed."

The three guides, who were already pleasantly surprised, did not know what to say after hearing Zi Chen's words.

There was no need to explain what it meant to subdue the king of the mountain spirits. They already understood the meaning behind it.

"Unprecedented, this is unprecedented. With the mountain spirit king, Zi Chen's group will have a much wider field of vision. This is something we didn't have before. With this field of vision, our chances of survival will be much higher. This time, Zi Chen's group will most likely enter the deepest part of the forest."

Outside, many cultivators could not help but exclaim in excitement.

"This is indeed unprecedented. I have more confidence in Zi Chen now." The old man stroked his beard with a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were shining.

The king of the mountain spirits' effect caused quite a commotion, but after the commotion, the crowd had to continue moving forward.

However, this time, the journey was much smoother.

Along the way, Zi Chen no longer showed off. Wherever his spiritual senses swept across, the mountains there would automatically disappear.

Soon, a huge open space appeared.

However, Zi Chen did not take away all the mountains. Along the way, Zi Chen would leave some mountains behind. The mountain spirits in these mountains were mainly responsible for surveillance.

This area was mainly made up of mountains.

According to the records in the king of the mountain spirits' memories, they were all man-made, just like an army.

Zi Chen had perfect spiritual senses, but it still took him several days to subdue the king of the mountain spirits. It was not that the king of the mountain spirits was very powerful, but there was another spiritual sense in the king's consciousness. This spiritual sense was very strong, and it fought with Zi Chen's perfect spiritual sense for several days before it gradually lost.

In the end, Zi Chen suppressed this spiritual sense and did not completely erase it, mainly because he did not want to alert the enemy.

For the next few days, Zi Chen spent all his time subduing the mountain spirits. He left some behind to monitor and report, and took away the rest.

After taking away all the mountain spirits in this area, Shuntian and the others asked where they should go next.

With many mountain spirits and many spies, Hammer and the other two did not need to go out to investigate, and the three guides' work was completely done.

For a long time, there was no battle.

"Next, let's go find those battle spirits, but before that, we need to pass through a mountain range. There will be danger in the mountain range, so be careful."

Zi Chen instructed, and then led the crowd forward.

Not long after, a huge mountain range appeared in front of them. The mountain range stretched for thousands of miles, and it would take a lot of effort to pass through it.
