Chapter 99 Return to Black Wind Mountain

  Today's fourth update!!!

  Huashan only felt the figure in front of him sway, and Zhang Chong's body shape flew out, rushing towards the inner hall of the main hall, with a very fast momentum.

  "Has Zhang Chong discovered a new danger?" Hua Shan thought to this, also anxious in his heart, and was about to chase after him, shouting towards Zhang Chong from afar.

  "Zhang Chong, is there anything new?"

  "No, I'm going to the outhouse~~" Zhang said this sentence without turning his head back and then ran away without a trace.

  Hua Shan stood still on the spot after hearing this sentence and didn't move again. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart,

  "Little Shifu is indeed a god, looking at his momentum while running, it's hard to imagine how he spent the past year without a toilet."

  Zhang Chong's horse ran to that place without stopping, and with a light push of his hands, the door creaked open. In an instant, countless rays of light flashed towards his eyes. This was clearly the treasury of the Grand Hall, and for some reason, the treasures here had not been affected by the passage of time, still looking brand new. Countless treasures were presented before Zhang Chong, along with numerous materials neatly stacked there.

  Zhang Chong sighed slightly, then began his swift action. He rushed up quickly, his mind rapidly scanning, and the treasures and materials were continuously swept into the Xuanji Ring.

  It wasn't until much later that Zhang Chong finally swept all the treasures and materials in the warehouse into the Xuanji Ring. The space inside the ring was so vast that it was hard for him to imagine, even with all the treasures and materials in the warehouse swept in, the Xuanji Ring still didn't show any signs of being full.

  Wang Daozhong, inside the Xuanji Ring, gazed at the various magical treasures and materials flying towards him, his eyes gleaming with desire. However, apart from categorizing and arranging them according to requirements, he did not dare to secretly take away any of them.

  "I have a way to know which magical artifact you secretly used. The first time is a warning, if there's another time, don't blame me for making you unable to live or die." Zhang Chong, after being reminded by Yue, took the first magical artifact from Wang Dao and gave him a small punishment, followed by a severe warning. Although Wang Dao didn't know how Zhang Chong knew he had stolen one of the artifacts from Ruo Shan, the previous punishment made him dare not to be disobedient again, but instead obediently followed Zhang Chong's orders, categorizing and arranging the magical artifacts and materials.

  After Zhang Chong returned with a satisfied heart, he could vaguely feel that the energy in the great hall was rapidly flowing away after his spiritual power was erased, just like a warrior losing his leader. With Zhang Chong's current control over his spiritual power, he could hold on for at most another month. And if Zhang Chong were to take the Linglong Golden Ring again, the energy would be able to last even less time without a leader among the group of dragons.

  "Let's hurry and leave here~~" Zhang Chong had silently memorized the direction of their journey dozens of times, then said to the crowd. At this time, everyone was also ready, waiting for his command.

  Only to see Zhang Chong leaped up, his body as light as a large eagle, holding the Linglong Golden Ring in his hand. After a glance, he put the Linglong Golden Ring into the Xuanji Ring. At the moment of putting it in, only a soft hum "ting" was heard, and the entire hall couldn't help but tremble slightly.

  Zhang Chong's figure was also constantly in motion, and he immediately rushed towards the exit, moving swiftly. Behind him, everyone carried their own magic shields and spirit instruments, closely following after him.

  For four hours straight, they didn't stop at all and rushed towards the exit. Finally, they saw the exit and it gradually became brighter in front of them. Fresh air was calling out to them from that place, leading them to rush out.

  "How long has it been since we've seen sunlight and trees?" Everyone had a feeling of being in a different world as they returned to the familiar ground. In the blink of an eye, they were trapped in the ancient underground city for about two years. For this group of mostly young people, these two years were not a short period of time.

  Two years of accumulated friendship is enough to dispel the feud between immortals and demons, dispel any suspicions. However, these are limited to underground only.

  When they returned to the world of the living, they also understood that everything underground was like a big dream. They would eventually return to their respective lives.

  Hua Shan and Yun Wu already knew that Zhang Chong was not a cultivator, nor was he an undercover agent sent by Wang Daozhong. He would not return to the Longevity Gate now, let alone go to their place.

  "We're going back, little master... Zhang Chong, take care of yourself, if you need anything, come find us." The two Cloud Dancers from Mount Hua bowed to Zhang Chong with their fists clenched, and Yun Wu's eyes were already moist, her pupils trembling on the verge of tears.

  "It's all right, we'll meet again." Zhang Chong laughed loudly and waved goodbye to them.

  "I may have the order to capture you, but I am no match for you. I also cannot bring myself to take you in, so that little girl will bid farewell here and return to Qingyimen." Luomudan smiled sweetly and took her leave as well.

  Bai Li and Lan Ningxue bid farewell one after another.

  "Are you going back to the Long Life Gate?" Zhang Chong looked at Liu Sheng, Lin Ye and others. They knew that he couldn't possibly cultivate magic powers, so the plan to listen to the wind and fall had already been declared a failure. Although Zhang Chong wasn't a cultivator, he also couldn't cultivate demonic powers, which meant there was no turning back for him, and he wouldn't be able to stay in the Long Life Gate either. As for Liu Sheng and others, staying in the Long Life Gate would be an excellent destination, especially for Liu Sheng, whose talent was extremely high, and his prospects were bright in the demonic clan.

  "Then where did you go?" Liu Sheng asked Zhang Chong.

  "After two years, Qing Shan shouldn't pay too much attention to me anymore. I'll just follow these brothers and go to Hei Feng Mountain to live a carefree life like a cloud drifting by. Zhang Chong's words came from the bottom of his heart. Now that he no longer worries about crystal stones, he can cultivate magic powers. He doesn't want to join the Long Life Sect anymore. Being an inner sect disciple is nothing compared to living a happy and carefree life with his brothers."

  Liu Sheng and others, seeing Zhang Chong's persistence, did not press him further, and bid him farewell with a bow.

  "Zhang Chong, let's first go back to Changsheng Gate and see how things develop. If Qing Shan gives up and no one else pursues the matter, we'll come find you. You'll also have a chance to look for us and catch up." After saying this, they left.

  In the end, only Lin Hai and Zhang Chong were left. As they watched the departing figures, Zhang Chong suddenly felt a sense of desolation. Over the past few years, he had experienced more than in the previous decade or so, and had also made many good friends. It was only now that he realized how much he enjoyed the friendship with his friends, and he was increasingly disliking the feeling of loneliness.

  Zhang sat for a while, then suddenly stood up and said:

  "Let's go and see Haotian～"

  "Haha~~" Wang Mingyang laughed loudly, and the few of them began to fly in the direction of Heifeng Mountain. After flying for a while, they could also see that this exit was located within the You Shou mountain range, about twenty miles away from Dangyang border. During the flight, they could faintly hear the sound of continuous explosions coming from underground, it seemed that the ancient city of Sha Zha had begun to collapse after losing the Linglong Golden Ring. This ancient city, which had been buried for thousands of years, finally exhausted its last bit of energy after the group's intrusion and vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of Sha Zha Ancient City behind.

  Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, they had already reached the top of Black Wind Mountain. However, this time, they felt that inside the mountain stronghold, there seemed to be no one around. The entrance was also eerily quiet, with no guards in sight.

  "After going through the previous danger, everyone's nerves became much sharper. They quickly descended and quietly infiltrated the mountain stronghold. The terrain here was very familiar to Lin Hai and the eight immortals, but after searching several places, they didn't find a single person."

  A sense of foreboding rose in their hearts, had Black Wind Mountain undergone a drastic change over the past two years? This was the doubt hanging over everyone's heads.

  Just then, a dark shadow slowly emerged from behind them.
