Novel Full Chapter 789 - 777: Rescue
Weizhi Peak Mountain Top.
Chen Mu gazed into the distance, lost in thought.
After cultivating for so many years, each time he stayed in one place for too long, he always encountered similar troubles.
The last time he saw such a major occurrence… was the last time.
At that moment, the disciples down the mountain, although panicked, were running swiftly.
Because of the prior preparation, and also because the black ape was threatening from the outside.
In no time at all, they all dived into the Ghost Gate.
A Water Blue Escape Light rose from the mountainside, and Tang Zhimu returned to the mountain peak once again.
“Principal, are we just going to leave like this?” Tang Zhimu hesitated to speak.
“What, do you still want to support Star-picking Peak?” Chen Mu glanced sideways.
“Can you handle that three-headed, six-armed big monkey?” He pointed at the black ape hammering the Mountain Protection Spirit Light, speaking irritably.
“The Great Demon over at Star-picking Peak is several times more ferocious than this monkey.”
“In times of great disaster, everyone should fend for themselves.” He sighed and turned to leave.
“But now the world is in chaos, there’s a chance we might still need to seek shelter under the Yellow Springs Sect later. If we leave without showing any gesture…” Tang Zhimu was worried.
“Sigh… Who told me to be such a good person?” Chen Mu turned his head back again.
Tang Zhimu: “…”
“What, am I wrong?”
Yes, yes, you truly are a good person.
Tang Zhimu resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
“If I weren’t a good person, I would’ve left you all back in Golden River City long ago.”
“Get going, don’t delay my rescuing!” Chen Mu waved them off.
Tang Zhimu chuckled, cupped his fists in farewell, and turned to fly into the Ghost Gate, disappearing.
Chen Mu rolled his eyes again, looking into the distance once more.
Even without Tang Zhimu’s persuasion, he actually wanted to intervene.
Really!
In the past, he would have run away directly since when the sky falls, there are always taller people to hold it up.
Moreover, those tall ones in the past usually weren’t like humans, fleeing faster than he did. If he didn’t run, wouldn’t it seem disrespectful?
But Jiufeng Mountain is somewhat different after all.
He had been here for a year and a half, meeting Yuan Zhen only a few times, yet they got along quite pleasantly.
If he were to leave directly, he would indeed feel uneasy.
Chen Mu sighed, a flash of golden light, and disappeared from the spot.
Just as he vanished, the Mountain Protection Spirit Light on Weizhi Peak shattered with a bang, flickered a few times, and then completely disappeared.
…
Star-picking Peak.
Entrance of the Star-picking Hall.
“True Form Heavenly Demon?”
“This is troublesome!” Yuan Zhen looked at the precarious Forbidden Law of the mountain, his face solemn.
Beside him, Hu Sheng, clutching a Jade Plate, was surging with mana, his face pale, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
“I should have left Jiufeng Mountain earlier.” Yuan Zhen couldn’t help but feel regretful.
Luo Ding had led demon attacks on Lin Tu, and he suspected there was more to come. He had long thought of temporarily leaving Jiufeng Mountain, but didn’t realize he was a step late.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three light sounds in a row, and three bright stars on the 枢机 Jade Plate suddenly dimmed.
“Principal, the Forbidden Law on Weizhi, Zhujiao, and Shuilin Three Peaks has been destroyed. The chain formation of Jiushan won’t last long here either.” Hu Sheng’s face was extremely ugly.
“We can’t wait any longer!” Yuan Zhen took a deep breath, his face dignified, “Give me the 枢机 Jade Plate, both of you, escape for your lives.”
“With the Five Rams Furnace in hand, I can specifically weaken the demon’s physique. Even if the Forbidden Law of the mountain is destroyed, I can still entangle for a while, buying you some time.”
“Principal!” Hu Shenglintu’s faces changed drastically.
The Five Rams Furnace could indeed restrain the demon, but the demon in front was strong not only in physique.
The thunder it spat could quickly disintegrate the Forbidden Law of the mountain, clearly a powerful Divine Skill.
Though the Five Rams Furnace is powerful, it may not even touch the opponent.
The principal staying behind, clearly intends to fight desperately!
Both immediately wanted to persuade him, but before they could speak, Yuan Zhen waved them off.
“No need to persuade further, continuing to hesitate only wastes time.”
“And the sooner you run, the sooner I can leave Jiufeng Mountain.”
“As for the disciples under my command…”
“Let as many escape as possible.” Yuan Zhen sighed heavily.
Most disciples on Jiufeng Mountain were brought there by him. The core members were personally recruited and trained by him.
In this calamity, few will likely survive.
“Damn demons, damn Luo Ding!”
Yuan Zhen couldn’t help but curse in hatred.
“Headmaster Yuan, who are you gearing up to fight against?” A flash of golden light, a teasing voice suddenly appeared.
Mr. Chen?!
“You’re alright?!” Yuan Zhen was both surprised and delighted.
Earlier, when the Mountain Protection Spirit Light on Weizhi Peak was broken, he thought Chen Mu was in great danger, not expecting the latter to arrive before him intact.
Wait… since he could arrive before the Star-picking Hall intact, then…
“Do you have a way to quickly leave Jiufeng Mountain?” Yuan Zhen’s face lit up with surprise.
“Unfortunately, I indeed have some means.” Chen Mu replied with a grin.
“I have a Shrinking Ground Shifting Secret Technique, which allows me to instantly escape over a thousand miles…” He didn’t keep them in suspense, immediately introducing the Ghost Gate.
“Can you take the disciples under your command and also leave Jiufeng Mountain?” Yuan Zhen gazed at Chen Mu full of hope.
“It’s no trouble for me, just whether the Forbidden Law of the mountain can hold?”
“You just go ahead, leave maintaining the Forbidden Law to me!” Yuan Zhen declared with determination.
With these words, he took the Forbidden Law枢机 from Hu Sheng, his eyes shooting intense white light, and mana flooded fiercely into the 枢机 Jade Plate.
The previously shaky Mountain Protection Spirit Light flared up, inflating outward by 30%!
But Yuan Zhen’s face was visibly turning pale at an alarming pace.
“I’ll leave Jiufeng Mountain to you.” He looked at Chen Mu solemnly.
Chen Mu felt a jolt in his heart.
Sensing the rapidly fading auras of Yuan Zhen, he knew Yuan Zhen was truly fighting for his life.
Five Ghosts Moving Mountain activated, Ghosts emerged.
Buzz!
A gigantic Ghost Gate, over ten stories high, appeared in mid-air.
Lin Tu and Hu Sheng immediately flew up, loudly directing and guiding the disciples into the Ghost Gate.
Chen Mu was not idle either, releasing all the remaining Ghosts, enacting Yin Wind rampantly.
The slower disciples were swept and dragged by the Yin Wind, being tossed into the Ghost Gate one by one.
In no time, all the disciples on Star-picking Peak were evacuated.
Chen Mu just gave a slight bow towards the mountain top, then immediately followed Lin Tu and Hu Sheng to other peaks.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
Chen Mu, along with Hu Sheng and Lin Tu, returned to the entrance of the Star-picking Hall.
Yuan Zhen, at this time, sat cross-legged, blood streaming from his nostrils and eyes, clearly at his limit.
“Principal, it’s time to go.”
Chen Mu raised his hand, constructing a small Ghost Gate at the entrance of the Star-picking Hall.
Yuan Zhen let out a long sigh of relief.
He glanced up at the battered Mountain Protection Spirit Light, which looked like shattered porcelain pieced together, then glanced at Star-picking Peak, sighing slightly.
Then, under the support of Lin Tu and Hu Sheng, he stepped into the Ghost Gate.
The gray-white archway turned into a swirling vortex of black smoke, enveloping Chen Mu, who stepped through last, and vanished with a swish.
…
As he vanished, a booming crash sounded, and the Mountain Protection Spirit Light completely collapsed.
A gigantic white crane Heavenly Demon descended from the sky, its form rapidly shrinking, finally transforming into a petite woman in white, landing before the Star-picking Hall.
Glancing at the vanished Ghost Gate, she then calmly withdrew her gaze.
“Hei Shan, immediately gather the Demon Soldiers and set up the Two Realms Shifting Method Ban with Tangshan, Jiufeng Mountain, and Thunder Storage Creek’s Earth Vein as the fulcrum.”
“Hasten to bring forth the Demon Soldiers and search for the Hundred Intentions Heavenly Spiritual Eye.”
“Only by quickly destroying the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Eye can we force the Human Demon to retreat, thereby securing our Mistaken Heaven.” Her expression was cold and solemn.
The Six-armed Black Ape, now reduced to a height of three meters, nodded respectfully, then turned to take control of Jiufeng Mountain.
