The dark-skinned, tall and thin man immediately became interested.

His originally calm eyes revealed a sincere look, like a child seeing his favorite toy. Anyone who saw such a look would be captivated by it.

The man glanced at Gordon who was twitching on the ground, and subconsciously kicked him away, kicking him out and throwing him into the endless void outside.

But soon, some wonderful ideas suddenly came to him.

With a snap of his fingers, the half-crippled Gordon was immediately enveloped by a burst of colorful colors, along with the "Nine Chapters of Crane Ming Secret Scripture" beside him, swept away by the colorful colors and disappeared.

"Don't worry too much. I just suddenly thought of some interesting developments. Stories also need twists and turns, don't they?"

The man looked at the puddle of land.

Lu Ban did not answer.

From the moment the man appeared, Lu Ban felt clearly that this guy was of a very high status.

In fact, whether it is Fang Geng who is sleeping in this empty temple, or the Old One who is bound by a black hole in a distant foreign land, they are not worth mentioning compared to this man.

The Great Old Ones who surpass the Great Old Ones.

God above all gods.

I should have tasted myself first.

Lu Ban thought.

"Don't worry, because of your efforts, I am not going to release Him this time, because I think the current situation is quite interesting."

The man's tone began to become lively, as if he had found some interesting toy.

"You have a strange smell. Tsk, it seems that there is more than just that connection between us."

The man poked Lu Ban's meat paste with his hand.

“It feels OK.”

He smiled, revealing his white teeth that contrasted with his dark skin.

Lu Ban felt the other person's skin, which was no different from that of humans.

But through contact, some of the knowledge flowed into Lu Ban's melting brain.

The noisy mumbling made Lu Ban excited.

"But I'm going to give you a little punishment for ruining my good deeds."

The man smiled, and it was hard for anyone not to be moved by that frank smile.

He then turned into a colorful beam and disappeared into the space.

Lu Ban was in a boiling state and gradually crawled out of the temple.

He didn't know how to leave here, and he didn't have the strength. What he had just seen and heard was enough to kill Lu Ban a dozen times. It was only because of the man's pity, or his mentality of watching the show, that Lu Ban was able to survive.

A feeling worse than death lingered on Lu Ban's body.

He felt his consciousness was blurry. Perhaps in the next moment, he would become blind and stupid like the bound Old One, losing all will.

…

Jiangcheng Mountain, on the way down the mountain.

The earthquake continued, getting more and more severe, scaring away countless birds.

The city of Jiangcheng was in a mess. People were fleeing frantically, praying to God for protection. The sounds of children crying, dogs barking, and vehicles colliding were heard everywhere.

On this mountain road, Du Ming, who was driving a foreign car, was also sweating profusely.

"We can't escape this. The earthquake is almost catching up with us."

He cursed and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, making the car bumpy all the way.

Boom——

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in front of him and Du Ming slammed on the brakes.

The tires made a harsh friction sound as the vehicle finally stopped, only to find that the ground in front of them was cracked and the road was split in the middle. There was an abyss underneath, and it was impossible to see what the bottom of the valley looked like. The area ahead, let alone exploring it in the future, was estimated to have collapsed completely.

“It can’t go on.”

Du Ming said something and backed up a distance to prevent the ground from sinking.

"Is there any other way down the mountain?"

The Seventh Master asked.

"Yes, there is, but it takes a long detour."

Du Ming answered and looked at the top of the mountain again.

"Are you still worried about him?"

He Chong saw Du Ming's worry.

"Is it really okay for us to just leave like this?"

Du Ming got out of the car and spoke while checking the situation.

"We are all so old, how can we bear to hand over all the things to a junior and let him take the lead?"

After hearing Du Ming's words, Qi Ye hesitated for a moment.

"But Brother Du, what can we do? Although my family is called Moving Mountains to Find Dragons, how can we move mountains? We are just tomb robbers. Facing this situation, there is nothing we can do."

He explained.

This is also the reason why everyone present chose to leave just now.

They can't do anything.

In this disaster, their supernatural powers are just mediocre and not worth mentioning at all.

A sense of powerlessness and despair enveloped them.

"No, maybe there is some way."

Blind Zhang, who was sitting in a car behind, got out and muttered.

"Didn't he say that Xuanjun can suppress the monsters in this mountain? As long as we become Xuanjun or get Xuanjun's power, we can help him."

"You mean, we should go to the cave at the top and obtain Xuanjun's secret?"

The Seventh Master was a little timid.

"But without the token, we can't get in there, right?"

Shi Buwen said in a deep voice.

“It’s not that there is no solution.”

At this time, Tang Que suddenly spoke.

"Everyone, don't you think that the previous rounds of competition are actually getting closer to Xuanjun step by step?"

Tang Que's words made several people fall into deep thought. After a moment, He Chong was the first to react.

"Those competitions require us to use various methods to circumvent the restrictions and finally reach Xuan Jun's residence?"

Inspiration seemed to flash in his mind, spreading like a spark and lighting up the dark night sky.

"We can use our skills to break through Xuanjun's restrictions and enter his residence!"

Thinking of this, he hesitated again.

The current Jiangcheng Mountain is not only located at the center of the earthquake and extremely dangerous, but there are also unspeakable monsters and possible ancient evil gods.

No one would choose to go up the mountain now.

Besides, they had already escaped, there was no need for them to go back for a slim hope.

He has a wife, children, and a peaceful and warm life.

There was no reason for him to be standing here, trying to save this.

But a certain burning emotion ignited in He Chong's chest.

When he was young, due to his ghost-like eyes, he could always see some unclean things, and was therefore excluded, ridiculed and bullied.

He Chong once asked his father why he was like this and what the use of his eyes was.

His father only said that it was a talent and a blessing, but He Chong didn't understand it at all at that time.

But later, after He Chong experienced a lot and helped many people with his eyes, he could finally understand.

There are many moments in a person's life.

Happy, sad, miserable, difficult, relaxing, joyful.

But there is also a moment that makes people feel a sense of emotion, feeling that at this time and place, who else but me can be here.

It was like a general in the battle line heard the horn behind him, or like a tired doctor who had just revived a dying person, just like now, He Chong was standing on Jiangcheng Mountain.

This is a destined moment, at this time, fulfilling destiny becomes everything, as if the nine-class skills that have been passed down from ancient times seem to be designed to create miracles at this moment.

The subtle connection between history and fate made He Chong stand up. Although he knew it was impossible, He Chong still hoped that someone in the future would remember this moment and remember his choice.

A hand was placed on He Chong's shoulder.
