w.a.n.g Chong closed his eyes in thought, his mind rapidly turning and his brow slowly beginning to crease .

"w.a.n.g Chong…" A mental wave entered w.a.n.g Chong's mind .

"Alliance Lord Song!"

w.a.n.g Chong raised an eyebrow in surprise . He hadn't expected to sense Song Yuanyi's energy at a time like this .

"Alliance Lord Song, what's the situation on your side?" w.a.n.g Chong asked .

"The situation is rather bad . The place we're in could cave in at any moment . The only way right now is to move aside the ma.s.sive rock between us . The pa.s.sage we used before is above that ma.s.sive rock, and using that same pa.s.sage is currently the safest way," Song Yuanyi sternly replied .

"This truly is the best way, but, Alliance Lord Song, your injuries…"

Based on the situation when the pa.s.sage collapsed, Song Yuanyi had been the closest to him, and there was only a ma.s.sive rock between them . But w.a.n.g Chong's greatest concern was Song Yuanyi's injuries .

Although Song Yuanyi was trying his best to hide it, w.a.n.g Chong had known with one glance that he was badly injured . The ma.s.sive rock weighed tens of thousands of tons, and there were also objects pressing down on it from above . Song Yuanyi was not guaranteed to be able to endure this weight .

"I'm fine . Regardless, this is the only way!" Song Yuanyi sternly replied .

"This…" After a few moments of silence, w.a.n.g Chong finally nodded . "Fine!" After all, it was better than just waiting for death .

"I'll count down from three, and then we'll exert our strength at the same time . " Song Yuanyi's voice came from the distance .

Once everything was ready, w.a.n.g Chong and the Origin Immortal Chief took their places next to the rock . The moment Song Yuanyi finished counting down, they immediately sent waves of Stellar Energy into the rock .

On the other end, Song Yuanyi and the Righteous Alliance disciples joined together to move the rock .

Buzz!

As Stellar Energy poured in, the rock weighing tens of thousands of tons began to slowly s.h.i.+ft .

Gradually, the rock slowly s.h.i.+fted, creating a small c.h.i.n.k .

"Wonderful! It's working! It's working!"

Seeing the rock move under their combined efforts, the Righteous Alliance disciples couldn't help but cheer .

But a moment later, a rumbling came from overhead, a sound which made w.a.n.g Chong, the Origin Immortal Chief, and Song Yuanyi pale .

"Young Patriarch, watch out! The rock layer has loosened!" the Origin Immortal Chief called out .

Before she had even finished speaking, groaning and cracking came from overhead .

This area had already been very unstable, and while w.a.n.g Chong's group had succeeded in s.h.i.+fting the stone, they had also unsettled the layer of rocks above them .

Boom! Boom! Boom! One boulder after another slammed down atop the rock between w.a.n.g Chong and Song Yuanyi, and in just a few moments, the rock's position only became firmer, its weight heavier .

Both sides of the rock fell into absolute silence, everyone's face twisted into nasty scowls . Not only had they failed to move aside an obstacle, their efforts had strengthened their prison .

"Young Patriarch!"

The Origin Immortal Chief looked at w.a.n.g Chong in a daze .

As a guardian of the Origin Immortal lineage, her only duty besides protecting the core of the Origin Immortal Treasury was protecting the young patriarch that her lineage had awaited for nearly one thousand years .

In the minds of all the Origin Immortal Villagers, even if they all had to die, they needed to safely escort the young patriarch away . This was why she had waited in the pa.s.sage for w.a.n.g Chong and why she had escorted him all the way here .

But now, they were at a dead end .

"The heavens never seal all exits! There must be a way!" w.a.n.g Chong firmly said, attempting to comfort the Origin Immortal Chief .

w.a.n.g Chong attempted several other methods, even using the Origin Immortal Sword to cut away at the rock, but his attempts failed one after another due to the complicated structure of the rocks .

Just when the mood had become low and depressive, there was a scratching and rustling . This strange sound instantly drew the attention of w.a.n.g Chong and the Origin Immortal Chief .

"Who is it?!"

w.a.n.g Chong fiercely turned his head in the direction of the noise .

"Is this the King of Foreign Lands?" A weak voice spoke up .

w.a.n.g Chong and the Origin Immortal Chief glanced at each other in surprise . w.a.n.g Chong truly was a King of the Great Tang, but very few people addressed him as such . But while this was strange, they could sense no hostility in this voice .

"Yes!"

w.a.n.g Chong gave a simple reply, and the scratching intensified . A few seconds later, crsss.h.!.+ A large pile of rocks and dirt crumbled away, revealing a pa.s.sage about the size of an adult man . A young and thin martial artist poked his head out, two mouse-like incisors poking out of his mouth .

"Lord Marquis, I finally found you! This one is Earth Mouse!"

Earth Mouse excitedly looked at w.a.n.g Chong .

The Origin Immortal Chief looked in confusion at w.a.n.g Chong, but w.a.n.g Chong was even more confused . He didn't remember any person called 'Earth Mouse' amongst his acquaintances .

Earth Mouse looked at w.a.n.g Chong and excitedly said, "Lord Marquis doesn't recognize this lowly one, but this lowly one will always remember Lord Marquis . This lowly one and his brothers almost died in the Origin Immortal Formation, but in the end, Lord Marquis appeared and saved this lowly one and his brothers . A drop of kindness will be returned with a spring of grat.i.tude . Lord Marquis might have forgotten, but this lowly one has always remembered . "

w.a.n.g Chong's brows furrowed together as a look of recollection appeared in his eyes .

"So that's who you are!"

Suddenly, w.a.n.g Chong remembered . While making his way through the Origin Immortal Formation, w.a.n.g Chong had encountered some unaffiliated martial artists and saved them .

But w.a.n.g Chong had never imagined that it would lead to something like this .

"Without Lord Marquis, many martial artists would have died on this adventure . Lord Marquis's compa.s.sion and benevolence is unsurpa.s.sed, and this lowly one is filled with extreme respect . This lowly one happens to be proficient in some arts for traveling the earth . Lord Marquis, hurry and follow me!"

Earth Mouse's tone was anxious and hurried .

w.a.n.g Chong and the Origin Immortal Chief glanced at each other in surprise . 'Traveling the earth' was just a refined way of putting it . It was really just a digging art . But as this man was able to freely travel through such complicated geography, he clearly had some extraordinary attributes .

"Lord Marquis, time is short . Let's go! I'll lead the way . "

After saying this, Earth Mouse turned around and swiftly entered the pa.s.sage he had come in from .

"Let's go!"

w.a.n.g Chong swiftly followed, and then the Origin Immortal Chief . Only a few moments later, the group had vanished without a trace .

Earth Mouse's abilities were truly flabbergasting . Despite the complexity and instability of the surrounding geography, he seemed entirely unaffected .

And the tunnels he dug out were extremely st.u.r.dy . Even when they were bored through dirt and loose rock, the rocks above still did not cave in .

Not only that, no matter how complicated the geography, Earth Mouse was always capable of finding the right position and angle to prevent a cave-in . At the same time, he was able to save the martial artists trapped in the rocks .

In terms of martial arts, Earth Mouse was not very strong, and one could even call his strength insignificant . But his unique digging techniques and his unique Stellar Energy that could strengthen tunnels allowed him to traverse the underground like a fish through water .

In this aspect, w.a.n.g Chong and Song Yuanyi were far inferior .

w.a.n.g Chong used Psychic Energy to help guide Earth Mouse, and just five minutes later, all the martial artists trapped underground had been saved .

One couldn't help but sigh in wonder at this sight .

Snakes and mice each have their own way, and different martial arts have their own domains of expertise . It's hard to say which is better!

w.a.n.g Chong emotionally sighed .

Although the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art possessed supreme might, it could do little when it came to boring tunnels through the earth!

"Brother, my thanks!"

"If not for you, we would have all died here!"

The martial artists gathered around Earth Mouse and offered their sincere thanks . Earth Mouse had an innocent look on his face as he constantly nodded, occasionally glancing at the distant w.a.n.g Chong in grat.i.tude .

Digging arts were not exactly the most refined arts, and Earth Mouse had only been able to save all these people due to w.a.n.g Chong's orders . A person of his personality really didn't know how to deal with this situation .

"Heh . "

w.a.n.g Chong couldn't help but chuckle at this sight . While Earth Mouse was rather nervous, everyone else was feeling rather relieved .

"Young Master w.a.n.g, the current situation isn't good," a familiar voice whispered softly into w.a.n.g Chong's ear . "Although we're all gathered together, the pa.s.sage above us has been completely cut off . More importantly, the air here is thin, and even though we have the Kyara Leaves from the chief, if we don't find a pa.s.sage soon, we'll all be dead!"

While everyone else was chattering and celebrating, Ouyang Changheng had walked up to w.a.n.g Chong, a look of extreme worry on his face .

While the large group had been moving upward along the pa.s.sage, Ouyang Changheng had been in the middle, keeping things organized . Thus, he had been caught when the pa.s.sage collapsed .

w.a.n.g Chong silently frowned .

As they were leaving, the Origin Immortal chief had given each person a few leaves . These leaves were all purple, and they provided far more oxygen than the leaves that w.a.n.g Chong had previously obtained . But in this environment, they wouldn't last for very long . They needed to find a way out soon .

w.a.n.g Chong subconsciously glanced at Earth Mouse, but he quickly shook his head . The last few tremors had completely collapsed the pa.s.sage above, leaving not even a trace of it . They would have to open up a new pa.s.sage .

But while Earth Mouse appeared energetic, his back straight, w.a.n.g Chong could sense that he was quite exhausted . Saving so many people in such a short amount of time was extremely draining for someone as weak as Earth Mouse, and he probably didn't have the strength to continue digging .

And without Earth Mouse's help, w.a.n.g Chong's formidable Psychic Energy was of little use .

Everyone clearly understood this, which was why Ouyang Changheng didn't even bring up Earth Mouse .

They remained silent as they pondered the matter .
