One misstep would lead down a road of errors. Going through the View Gate to the Stop Gate, and then back to the Rest Gate, was the shortest path to escape danger. If they missed out, the turning of the formation would sweep them up in a vortex that would bring into increasingly dangerous areas until their deaths.
Even if they did not fall into the Death Gate, returning to the Rest Gate still required passing through one hundred and eight formation gates. The calculations required over this process exceeded one hundred thousand—an immense number, even for someone like Wang Chong.
Buzz!
As Wang Chong was focused on calculation, the space suddenly trembled, and a vast energy suddenly began to approach.
”Alliance Lord, watch out!”
A shout rang out, and before anyone could react, a slender figure charged out of the storm.
Klack! Klack! The moment that person appeared, a thick, fragrant aroma filled the air, and countless flowers and grass brimming with life dropped from the sky. At the same time, patches of green appeared around that person and rapidly began to expand.
Countless other individuals followed this man, all of them wearing the same uniform with the striking emblem of the white crane and the Yin Yang symbol on their left chest.
The Righteous Alliance Lord!
Wang Chong turned in shock upon sensing this familiar energy. Across from him stood a proud figure, his imposing and majestic bearing leaving a deep impression on anyone who beheld him. If this was not Righteous Alliance Lord Song Yuanyi, who else could it be?
”Ah! The Demonic Emperor!”
”Everyone, be careful!”
Swords and sabers were pulled out of their sheaths as the pale-faced Righteous Alliance experts around Song Yuanyi immediately recognized the Demonic Emperor Old Man. In a flash, they all assumed defensive postures.
A person's reputation was like the shade of a tree, and in the world of martial arts, there was no one who did not know the name of Zhang Wenfu. Let alone those of the righteous path, even evil path disciples would pale in dread and awe at the mere mention of his name.
Thwishthwishthwish!
The stones and arrows continued to pour down, but merely by standing there, Song Yuanyi was able to repel all these attacks.
The Immortal Universe Eternal Spring Mantra!
As one of the top three arts of the righteous path, it excelled, was perhaps unparalleled, when it came to defense. This Origin Immortal Formation might have been littered with traps, but their threat to Song Yuanyi was limited. The Eternal Spring Mantra could deal with such attacks far easier than any other arts. This was primarily why Song Yuanyi had had Xie Guangting remain outside while he ventured inside.
”Zhang Wenfu! I finally found you and your disciple! This time, none of you should even think about leaving alive!”
Song Yuanyi's expression was cold and aloof, his eyes exuding a sharp and intimidating light. And at a time like this, he was the only person in his group who could remain so calm and composed.
As a leading light of the righteous path, Song Yuanyi was definitely one of the strongest experts of the present era, and with his Eternal Spring Mantra, he could face the Demonic Emperor without fear.
”Hahaha, Song Yuanyi, when this old man was making his name, you were just some nobody martial artist. If your master were here, this old man might have been a little apprehensive, but you! You are not worthy!”
The Demonic Emperor Old Man's beard and hair began to dance as his body erupted with tides of astonishing power. This was the natural aura of a lion, and even a titan of the martial arts world like Song Yuanyi appeared inferior before him.
In the current martial arts world, Righteous Alliance Lord Song Yuanyi had a thunderous reputation and was known by countless people. The name 'Song Yuanyi' itself inspired respect and awe, and even Wang Chong could find little advantage when fighting with Song Yuanyi.
But the Demonic Emperor Old Man was different. The Demonic Emperor was currently sixty-some years old while Song Yuanyi was around fifty. The two were separated by a gap of ten-some years. While Song Yuanyi had a resounding reputation, Zhang Wenfu in his prime had a reputation that far surpassed that of the Righteous Alliance Lord.
When Song Yuanyi was only a youth of ten-some years, Demonic Emperor Zhang Wenfu was already the great demon of the martial arts world, inspiring dread whenever people uttered his name. In terms of experience, Song Yuanyi could not possibly compare to Zhang Wenfu.
”Demonic Emperor, that was then and this is now. Your era is over. Evil cannot suppress the righteous, and no matter what you say, I will represent the heroes of the righteous path and all those martial artists you killed in vanquishing you and your disciple!” Song Yuanyi sternly said, not backing down at all in front of this legend of the martial arts world.
