At this moment, everyone in the team was more and more in awe of Zhuo Wen. Zhuo Wen's words were like an imperial edict to them, and no one dared to disobey him.
The team continued to move towards the top of the sacred mountain in an orderly manner.
Zhuo Wen discovered that halfway up the mountain, clouds and mist were lingering, and the line of sight became much blurred, with the visual distance being very short.
Moreover, these clouds and mist also have the energy to shield the divine consciousness, and Zhuo Wen's divine consciousness can only detect a range of more than ten meters away at most.
What made Zhuo Wen relieved was that after reaching the mountainside, the number of evil spirits was much smaller. Of course, the evil spirits were also stronger.
However, Zhuo Wen's Ancient Hongmeng Jue is extremely restrained against evil spirits. Therefore, no matter how strong the evil spirits are, there is not much difference to Zhuo Wen. They are basically devoured and refined by him and become his own energy.
Three hours later, Zhuo Wen and others arrived at the mountain col, which was about a hundred meters away from the top of the mountain.
Here, there is an extremely deep cave.
At the entrance of the cave, there is an altar.
This altar was forged from some kind of crystal clear jade. On the top of the altar was a statue of a strange beast with the head of a human and the body of a dragon.
What caught Zhuo Wen's attention most about this statue was that its eyes were particularly bright, as if they could emit blazing light.
At this moment, Zhuo Wen thought of those golden eyes.
The eyes of this statue gave him a feeling that they were very similar to the pair of golden eyes deep in the sea of clouds, or in other words, they were exactly the same.
"We have finally arrived at the altar! You guys, quickly place all the best supplies around the altar!"
"And you, lead the boys and girls into the cave! Move quickly!"
"..."
The mountain guardians, headed by a burly middle-aged man, immediately began to arrange their personnel and place the prepared sacrifices around the altar.
The boys and girls stepped into the cave with low eyebrows and sad faces as the soldiers scolded them.
"etc!"
Suddenly, Zhuo Wen stopped the soldiers.
Now, Zhuo Wen is as majestic as the sky, and there is no one here who dares to disobey him.
"Sir! I don't know what your orders are?"
Many soldiers stopped, one of them was older
The soldiers quickly came forward and bowed down.
"The mountain sacrifice ceremony only needs to place the sacrifices next to the altar and put the boys and girls into the cave. Is it considered over?" Zhuo Wen asked with a frown.
"Sir! This is indeed the case. This has been done in previous mountain sacrificial ceremonies!" The soldier did not dare to neglect and said quickly.
"Did anyone enter the cave in previous mountain sacrificial ceremonies?" Zhuo Wen asked again.
The soldier's face changed greatly, and he shook his head quickly and said: "The cave is a sacred place. Unless you are a boy or girl, you are not allowed to enter without permission, otherwise you will be punished by the sacred mountain!"
The burly middle-aged man quickly stepped forward, knelt in front of Zhuo Wen, and said: "Sir! We must not enter the cave. Unknown things will happen. Please think twice, sir."
The other envoys protecting the mountain knelt on the ground and begged Zhuo Wen.
They were not stupid people. The moment Zhuo Wen said these words, they understood that Zhuo Wen probably wanted to enter the cave to find out.
"Don't worry! Of course I won't break the rules of the mountain sacrifice ceremony. After the sacrifices are settled, I will go down the mountain with you!" Zhuo Wen said calmly.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Zhuo Wen one after another, stood up, and began to get busy.
While everyone was busy, none of them saw Zhuo Wen quietly take out several array disks and place them among the rubble not far from the cave.
An hour later, after all the sacrifices were placed and all the boys and girls entered the depths of the cave, everyone asked Zhuo Wen to come down the mountain together.
Zhuo Wen naturally did not refuse and led the team towards the foot of the sacred mountain.
This time they were going very fast, and they didn't encounter as many obstacles on the way as they did when they went up the mountain. Most of the evil spirits were already dealt with when they went up the mountain.
After reaching the foot of the mountain, everyone felt completely relaxed, and then Zhuo Wen gave the order to continue moving forward.
A few hours later, the team passed through the Forest of Beasts and arrived at the outskirts of the Forest of Beasts.
"Everyone! Let's say goodbye. Say hello to the Lord of the City for me!"
Suddenly, Zhuo Wen turned around, cupped his hands in front of everyone, took out an array plate and crushed it into pieces.
Suddenly, a blazing white light enveloped Zhuo Wen, and then Zhuo Wen disappeared in front of everyone.
"Is this a teleportation wave? Where is Mr. Zhuo going?"
Everyone in the team is watching
They stared blankly at the white light disappearing in front of their eyes, and they all stood stunned on the spot.
After coming back to their senses, they surprisingly unanimously looked back towards the sacred mountain deep in the Forest of Beasts.
"I'm afraid Master Zhuo has arranged a teleportation array on the Holy Mountain in advance, and he should have planned to return to the Holy Mountain! The reason why he accompanied us down is to send us all back to Liangyi City safely!"
The burly middle-aged man murmured to himself, with complex emotions such as helplessness, gratitude, etc. deep in his eyes.
"Should we go and recover Mr. Zhuo?" the envoy guarding the mountain whispered.
"Without Master Zhuo! How can we reach the top of the sacred mountain! You must remember that our safe return depends entirely on Master Zhuo!"
The burly middle-aged man looked coldly at the monk who spoke, and the latter quickly lowered his head, his eyes full of shame.
"Let's go! Let's go back to Liangyi City first. As for Master Zhuo, I respect his actions!"
After the burly middle-aged man finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left, heading towards Liangyi City.
Everyone looked at each other, said nothing, and followed the middle-aged man out of the place.
Not far from the cave at the top of the sacred mountain, a white light rises into the sky from an inconspicuous pile of rubble.
In the white light, a figure slowly walked out.
He is none other than Zhuo Wen.
"I want to take a look! What secrets are there in this cave?"
Zhuo Wen strode into the cave.
However, what he didn't realize was that from the moment he stepped into the cave.
The sea of clouds around the sacred mountain suddenly raged, setting off terrifying waves of clouds that surged endlessly.
In the depths of the sea of clouds, a pair of golden eyes gradually lit up, like two wheels of eternal light, silently looking at the cave.
The cave corridor seemed to be endlessly deep. As Zhuo Wen continued to go deeper, his spiritual consciousness spread out, and his divine power continued to surge throughout his body, alerting him to dangers that might appear at any time around him.
But what surprised Zhuo Wen was that as he continued to go deeper, he did not encounter any crisis. There were not even traps in the cave, just like an ordinary cave.
"Huh? The end of the cave is coming..."
Zhuo Wen walked around a corner and saw a ray of light in front of him. His eyes showed excitement and he walked out quickly.
When he reached the end and saw the scene behind him, he couldn't help but be stunned...
