Rumble!
Song Yuanyi's pupils constricted. His surroundings were getting darker and darker while those above him were getting farther and farther away. The martial artists below him were dragging him deeper into the abyss.
Song Yuanyi waved his hand, attempting once more to use the Eternal Spring Mantra to seize the stone wall. But this time, there was no movement from the Eternal Spring Mantra.
”What's going on here?!”
Song Yuanyi's eyes were tinged with shock. His injuries were more severe than he had imagined, and he was now completely incapable of halting his descent.
Boom!
Just when Song Yuanyi thought that he was doomed, a young and bright voice resounded in his ears.
”Grab me! Grab me!”
Before Song Yuanyi could react, a powerful Stellar Energy erupted from ten-some meters above him. A young figure shot out of the center of the explosion and lunged toward Song Yuanyi like a dragon.
”It's him?”
When Song Yuanyi looked up and clearly saw who this person was, even his composed face that rarely revealed emotion, even in extreme danger, revealed a hint of surprise.
Wang Chong!
In other words, it was the Demonic Emperor's disciple who he had been constantly chasing! He had actually appeared here without regard for himself to rescue him!
No one understood more than him how perilous the current situation was, and every second was precious for survival. At this moment, everyone else was thinking about escaping, and if their roles were reversed, he would have never chosen to save Wang Chong.
Thump!
As this thought flashed through his mind, clap! A hand grabbed Song Yuanyi's arm, shaking him from his stupor.
”Chief, now!” Wang Chong loudly called out.
Crsssh! Crash! Dirt and stones showered down, but amidst these falling stones was a white and unnoticeable thread that was tied to Wang Chong's ankle.
Boom!
When this soft thread went taut, countless cries of alarm came out of the darkness.
But the spider thread held fast, holding everyone up.
Wang Chong turned his head and called out behind him, ”Hurry and pull us up.”
At this moment of panic, Wang Chong's voice seemed to possess a calming property.
Even those panicked and screaming martial arts down below couldn't help but calm down.
”It's the King of Foreign Lands! He came to save us!”
Even though those martial artists couldn't see anything in the darkness above them, they had almost immediately recognized Wang Chong's voice.
The Righteous Alliance disciples had particularly complicated feelings about this.
At the very beginning, Wang Chong had infiltrated the Righteous Alliance using the identity of Young Master Qingyang, and many people on the mountain had even met him. But the Righteous Alliance was also his most dogged pursuer.
As they said, true sentiments could only be seen in hard times, but none of them had imagined that the one saving them at this time would be the Demonic Emperor's disciple.
As the Righteous Alliance disciples were confused over what to feel, a powerful force began to pull them upward.
”Truly too risky! Even with Black Spider's thread, this was still too risky!”
The Origin Immortal Chief had a worried look on her face. When Song Yuanyi fell, she had never imagined that Wang Chong would come up with such a risky plan, using Black Spider's thread to save all of them.
This plan had a very small chance of success, and failure would mean Wang Chong's probable death.
Rumble! This underground space was still in the middle of collapsing, but Black Spider finally managed to pull Wang Chong and Song Yuanyi's group out of the hole.
”We can't stay here! Let's go!”
After saving Song Yuanyi's group, Wang Chong led them through the increasingly shaky passage.
True Lord Yellow Dragon's resistance was far more intense than expected. Even though the Origin Immortal Lord had laid down multiple formations in the earth, it was still a difficult task to hold him down.
One destructive wave of energy after another erupted out of the earth, each time further destabilizing the passage.
Several thousand meters were swiftly traversed, but everyone remained tense, not knowing when the passage would collapse.
Crack!
Several seconds later, the ground beneath them suddenly came apart. All of them could sense a dreadful energy that could make the entire world pale exploding from deep beneath the earth. In front of this energy, even Wang Chong and Song Yuanyi seemed like insignificant ants.
”Not good!”
