In the underground cavern, lightning flashes periodically, and the number of people trapped inside begins to increase.
The strikes of lightning, the intangible pressure that confines, turn the entire cavern into a carefully designed trap, much like a cage.
"Something’s not quite right."
Just for a few who can perform ’Escaping Earth’ and slipped through the net, would Jilong Road go to such great lengths?
Chen Mu stares intently at the spherical object on the cavern ceiling, the more he looks, the more he feels the lightning is familiar.
"Kui Water Yin Thunder?" His scalp numbs instantly.
"Sun Jian?!"
Fuck!
"I can’t stay here!" Chen Mu’s brain works feverishly.
Now there’s some noise in the cavern, many are talking, but none are trying anything."A bunch of cowards, just hoping others will set off the traps." Chen Mu curses inwardly.
Thinking about it, he realizes that if they were a bunch of fools, they wouldn’t have used ’Escaping Earth’ to flee as soon as Jilong Road started its attack.
"I can’t count on these people." Once he’s made up his mind, the little figures of Five Ghosts quietly crawl out of his clothes.
A flash of black smoke, and five dark gourds full of Qi appear out of thin air beside him.
Crack!
A bolt of Kui Water Yin Thunder lands suddenly, shattering the gourds that had just appeared, spreading their poisonous content in a burst that quickly engulfs the surrounding area like thick smoke from burning wood.
"Who the fuck released the poison smoke!" Immediately, someone knowledgeable curses and shouts in the cavern.
Chen Mu’s mouth curls slightly: "I only wanted to take them out to have a look."
"It was Old Ghost Sun’s Kui Water Yin Thunder that shattered the gourds, causing the poison smoke to release."
"If you have to blame someone, blame Sun Jian." Chen Mu holds an All-Disease Pill in his hand, feigning sympathy in his mind.
As he listens to a group of cursing voices, he suddenly comes face to face with a beet-red face.
The gray-clothed old man who had previously incited him to set off traps is now fuming and glaring at him.
Seeing the other party’s face turning red in an effort to prevent poisoning, Chen Mu thinks for a moment and earnestly makes an angry face: "Who the fuck released the poison smoke!"
The gray-clothed old man: "..."
Have some shame!
...
A quarter of an hour later, accompanied by a resentful glare from the gray-clothed old man before he passes out, the entire cavern falls eerily silent.
After a short wait, Chen Mu gathers his thoughts and frowns at the cavern ceiling.
"This sphere is no ordinary object."
It seeks out its enemies automatically.
Wherever there’s mana in the cavern, the Kui Water Yin Thunder strikes, until the source of the mana fluctuations is extinguished.
Just now, when he was merely taking out the Qi gourds from his Five Ghosts Bag, several bolts of lightning fell upon him. While shattering the gourds, they also gave him a tough time.
Even though he had covered his body with a Body Protection Aura, the lightning still left him completely numb.
"I need to destroy this sphere first."
Damn it!
The Jade Seed Inner Magical Power surges wildly, conjuring a jet-black moon blade as tall as a man out of thin air.
A flash of dark light in midair, and in an instant, it’s upon the sphere, swinging viciously at it.
But the sphere seems like nothing more than a projected illusion, as the Moon Blade easily passes through its midsection, and strikes heavily against the ceiling of the cavern.
Clang!
With a sound like a giant metallic collision, the sphere seems to be enraged, unleashing three bolts of lightning in quick succession. Chen Mu is struck hard, grimacing and tingling all over.
It takes a good while before he recovers from the deep bone-piercing numbness.
Looking up, he finds the Yin Thunder sphere unscathed, with only a few stones falling from the cavern’s ceiling.
"I should have thought of that."
If it were that easy to destroy, it wouldn’t be so blatantly placed there.
And... isn’t the cavern’s ceiling a bit too hard? It can actually withstand the blows of Yin Thunder.
"Is it to prevent the Earthly Movement Secret Technique?" Chen Mu realizes.
He promptly performs the ’Point Ground into Steel’ cautiously towards the ground. Aside from getting struck again by Yin Thunder a couple of times, the ground beside him does not soften the slightest.
Feeling a tingling sensation ten times worse than his legs falling asleep, Chen Mu can’t help but grit his teeth: "Old Ghost Sun, Old Ghost Sun, you’ve really thought of everything, haven’t you!"
After a long while, as the powerless numbing sensation slowly fades, Chen Mu once again has to contemplate ways to escape.
"There is a secret technique in the rock walls, making it impossible to tunnel through the earth. I have no choice but to attempt digging through."
"If the sphere can’t be destroyed, then I must withstand the Yin Thunder."
He takes a concerned look at the sphere above: "Luckily... luckily, I came prepared."
Previously, to guard against Sun Jian’s Thunder Law, he specially bought thirty-six Thunder Gathering Charms. If not now, when else to use them!
"One simply doesn’t know how strong the secret technique used to fortify the rock wall actually is."
Chen Mu took a deep breath.
Five Ghosts Possession!
Rolling black smoke merged into his being, and Chen Mu’s whole person visibly bulged.
In nearly the blink of an eye, he transformed into a terrifying giant, five meters tall, with indigo-blue skin and striated muscles.
Black smoke swirled around him, silver threads flowed between his eyebrows, and a mad malevolent energy filled his blood-red eyes.
The spherical lamp at the cave’s ceiling suddenly expanded to the size of a basketball, crackling lightning filled the surroundings.
In the next instant, more than a dozen Kui Water Yin Thunders had arrived beside Chen Mu, who had just managed to sit up.
"I’ve been waiting for you!"

Thunder Gathering Charm!
Chen Mu immediately threw out five Goose Sheep Path Thunder Gathering Talismans.
Crack!
The surface of the five talismans lit up with red threads like heated branding irons, with strands of lightning emerging on them.
The dozens of Yin Thunders that were about to strike him were mysteriously attracted away, abandoning Chen Mu and flying towards the Thunder Gathering Charms in midair like moths to a flame.
"Excellent!" Chen Mu couldn’t help but cheer inwardly.
But in the next moment, those five Thunder Gathering Charms that he had pinned his hopes on exploded into pieces with a snap.
And before he could react, the Kui Water Yin Thunder, as if able to drift through the air, rapidly turned and whooshed towards Chen Mu, striking him squarely on the face.
At the same time, as if a warning line had been touched, the invisible force that had been pressing down on him surged suddenly.
Chen Mu, who had just sat up, was immediately pushed down again, splashing up a circle of dust.
After quite a while, Chen Mu, who had removed the Five Ghosts Possession, came back to his senses.
He had not anticipated that the invisible force would intensify, nor that the Kui Water Yin Thunder would be so powerful that the five Thunder Gathering Charms would be destroyed without serving any purpose.
"Wait a minute... something’s not right here."
Those Thunder Gathering Charms were meant for gathering heavenly thunder. Even if the Kui Water Yin Thunder was fierce, how could it be much stronger than heavenly thunder?
Chen Mu suddenly had a very bad premonition and immediately threw all thirty remaining Thunder Gathering Charms into the sky.
Then he saw the thunderbolts fall;
The thunderbolts were attracted;
The thunderbolts pulverized the Thunder Gathering Charms into debris...
Chen Mu: "..."
Swindlers!
Luckily, he discovered this here. If it were in a confrontation with Sun Jian...
"Qiankun Firm, isn’t it." Chen Mu grinded his teeth, "You better pray that you die at the hands of the Liyang Path."
"Swindlers!"
...
Atop Mist Smoke Mountain, dark clouds were dense.
A blizzard that should not have appeared in this season was wildly swirling.
Horrifying blue-white lightning also snaked and scattered within the clouds.
Above the clouds, Sun Jian, with every strand of his beard and hair erect, was covered from head to toe in lightning.
"You’re definitely not Qing Lu! Who the hell are you?" His face was frosted over.
Qing Lu would never be able to cut off one of his arms at close range, nor would he be able to use the Wind Snow Secret Technique and hold out against him for so long.
Opposite, stood a lean old man in a green robe, silently towering on the cloud’s edge.
"I am Qing Lu, I am Fu Zi, I am also Yang Huan."
His voice was flat as water, and as he named each identity, two figures subsequently appeared.
The three had different attire, different statures, but they all had a pair of crystal-clear red eyes.
Seeing these familiar faces, even Sun Jian, accustomed to tough situations, couldn’t suppress the panic in his heart.
"Snow Demon Qing Liu!"
He saw clearly that three individuals, each only slightly less powerful than himself, had all become the puppets of the snow demon.
How was he supposed to fight this?!
Boom!
Suddenly, Sun Jian erupted in mighty Yin Thunder, becoming a ball of lightning, and like a cannonball, he shot out, fleeing rapidly towards the edge of the heavens.
"Since when did the Snow Demon of Zhongshan Path join Jilong Road?!"
"This is a trap!"
"A trap for both me and the Liyang Path!"
"Damn it!"
