Swish! Countless small stones fell from the sky like rain, and a moment later, the two adversaries clashed again. Rumble! Massive booms like peals of thunder resounded through the air, and it seemed like the sky was about to tear itself apart.

Once, twice, thrice… Song Yuanyi and the golden giant punched at each other again and again, neither yielding ground. One vast golden wave after another surged out from the leader of the men in black, attempting to turn Song Yuanyi to stone.

But even someone as strong as the golden giant had encountered a tough foe this time. Those petrifying golden waves were constantly converting Song Yuanyi's Stellar Energy to stone, but they could never even touch the lightning-fast Song Yuanyi and his profound cultivation level. Even the golden giant found him incredibly difficult to defeat.

Song Yuanyi's strength is a little less than the golden giant's, but…

From his hiding place, Wang Chong began to slowly observe what was going on at the other parts of the mountain. The first and second bamboo hat men had begun to move, inflicting a great slaughter. Even though the elders and experts were putting up a vigorous resistance, they were still no match.

The Fire of Mara that burned away Stellar Energy was something that many of the Righteous Alliance Elders and experts could not resist.

Wang Chong swept his eyes over the chaotic mountain and said to himself, It's about time for me to leave!

The Righteous Alliance base had now become extremely dangerous for him. Song Yuanyi was in the middle of searching for him, and while the two bamboo hat men were wreaking havoc and killing wherever they went, they were actually also looking for him.

If he were to reveal his identity, the two forces battling with each other would immediately attack him. He had already seen Song Yuanyi's Eternal Spring Mantra and developed a deeper understanding of the black-clothed men’s strength. Now was the ideal time to leave.

I should go and look for Master! Wang Chong said to himself. It was best to quit while one was ahead and not play with fire. Spending one day on the mountain was enough.

As these thoughts flashed through Wang Chong's mind, he began to head toward the back of the mountain, where the number of people was smallest.

”What's going on? These men in black are too formidable. Why haven't the vice alliance lord and the others gotten here yet?”

Wang Chong had barely walked a few steps when he heard a voice in the darkness. The words immediately caused him to stop and frown.

Vice alliance lord?

A hint of surprise flashed through Wang Chong's eyes, and he headed in the direction of that voice. There, two wounded Righteous Alliance experts were talking with each other.

During his stay with the Righteous Alliance, Wang Chong had seen quite a few elders and experts, but he had never heard of there being any vice alliance lord.

The two experts continued to talk.

”Previously, the vice alliance lord said that once he had finished settling the affairs on that side, he would hurry to the northwest to join us in dealing with the Demonic Emperor Old Man. But the vice alliance lord wrapped up that matter ten-some days ago, and there was already a messenger bird with a letter saying that the vice alliance lord was already on his way. There's no reason for him not to have shown up by now!”

The second Righteous Alliance expert's words caused Wang Chong's heart to tremble.

Someone who was Vice Lord of the Righteous Alliance was undoubtedly stronger than Ouyang Changheng and Sikong Yuanjia. One Song Yuanyi was hard enough to deal with. If he were joined by the formidable vice alliance lord, this northwest adventure would become extremely dangerous for Wang Chong's group.

It seems like the Righteous Alliance is fully mobilizing its forces. Master's appearance this time has garnered a great deal of their attention. Perhaps even Master underestimated the danger of the trip this time, Wang Chong noted, his mind a little uneasy.

The two experts had still not noticed Wang Chong.

”The alliance lord also said that the vice alliance lord and the others would arrive over the next two days. They should be here soon. The situation is dire, so we have to at least try and have the vice alliance lord get here as quickly as possible. No one except the vice alliance lord can deal with those other two men in black,” one of the injured Righteous Alliance experts said.

”There's nothing to be done except try! Send the signal! We have to get the vice alliance lord to arrive as soon as possible!”

With their minds made up, the two experts left. A few seconds later, a messenger bird took off and also…

Swish!

There was a piercing whistle as a dazzling firework soared into the sky. After rising several hundred meters, it exploded, lighting up the night with the dazzling image of a Yin Yang symbol and a white crane, the symbol of the Righteous Alliance.

For a moment, the entire mountain was as bright as day, and the exploding firework was visible from several dozen li away.
