Wang Chong closed his eyes in thought, his mind rapidly turning and his brow slowly beginning to crease.

”Wang Chong…” A mental wave entered Wang Chong's mind.

”Alliance Lord Song!”

Wang 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?” Wang 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 massive rock between us. The passage we used before is above that massive rock, and using that same passage 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 passage collapsed, Song Yuanyi had been the closest to him, and there was only a massive rock between them. But Wang Chong's greatest concern was Song Yuanyi's injuries.

Although Song Yuanyi was trying his best to hide it, Wang Chong had known with one glance that he was badly injured. The massive 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, Wang 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, Wang 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 shift.

Gradually, the rock slowly shifted, creating a small chink.

”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 Wang 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 Wang Chong's group had succeeded in shifting 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 Wang 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 Wang 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 passage for Wang 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!” Wang Chong firmly said, attempting to comfort the Origin Immortal Chief.

Wang 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 Wang Chong and the Origin Immortal Chief.

”Who is it?!”

Wang Chong fiercely turned his head in the direction of the noise.

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

Wang Chong and the Origin Immortal Chief glanced at each other in surprise. Wang 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!”

Wang Chong gave a simple reply, and the scratching intensified. A few seconds later, crsssh! A large pile of rocks and dirt crumbled away, revealing a passage 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.
