My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 778 Rescue
The summit of Weizhi Peak.

Chen Mu stared into the distance, lost in thought.

Having practiced spiritual cultivation for so many years, I always encounter similar troubles whenever I stay in one place for too long.

The last time I saw such a grand scene... that was the last time.

At this moment, down the mountain, the disciples were in a panic, but they also ran as fast as they could.

Because we had made preparations in advance, and also because there was a threat from the black apes outside.

Before long, they all perished.

A blue light rose from the mountainside, and Tang Zhimu returned to the summit once more.

"Doctor, are we just going to leave like this?" Tang Zhimu asked hesitantly.

"What, you still want to go and support Zhaixing Peak?" Chen Mu glanced at him sideways.

"You think you can beat this three-headed, six-armed monkey?" he said irritably, pointing at the black ape that was fiercely hammering the mountain-protecting spirit light.

"The great demon over at Zhaixing Peak is several times more ferocious than this monkey."

"With disaster looming, everyone should pray for their own good fortune." He sighed and turned to leave.

“But now the world is in chaos, and we may still have to rely on the Yellow Spring Sect for protection. If they just leave without giving any thanks…” Tang Zhimu said worriedly.

"Sigh... I'm just a good person." Chen Mu turned back again.

Tang Zhimu: "..."

"What, what I said is wrong?"

Yes, yes, you are such a kind person.

Tang Zhimu suppressed the urge to roll his eyes.

"If I weren't a good person, I would have left you all in Golden River City long ago."

"Get out of here, don't delay me from rescuing people!" Chen Mu waved him away.

Tang Zhimu smiled, cupped his hands in a fist salute, turned around, and flew into the Gates of Hell, disappearing from sight.

Chen Mu rolled his eyes and looked into the distance again.

Even without Tang Zhimu's persuasion, he actually wanted to get involved.

Really!

In the past, he would have simply run away, since there would always be someone taller to hold up the sky if it fell.

Besides, most of those tall guys in the past didn't act like human beings; they ran faster than him. If he didn't run, wouldn't it seem disrespectful?
But Jiufeng Mountain is somewhat different.

I've been here for a year and a half, and although I've only met Yuan Zhen and the others a few times, we've had a very pleasant time together.

I would feel guilty if I just left.

Chen Mu sighed, and then disappeared in a flash of golden light.

The moment he disappeared, the protective aura on Weizhi Peak shattered, flickering a few times before vanishing completely.

……

Zhaixing Peak.

At the entrance of the Star-Picking Hall.

"True Form Celestial Demon?"

"This is troublesome!" Yuan Zhen looked at the crumbling mountain-protecting magic barrier with a grave expression.

Beside him, Hu Sheng held a jade plate in both hands, his magical power surging, his face pale, and his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"I should have left Jiufeng Mountain sooner," Yuan Zhen sighed in frustration.

When Luo Ding led demons to attack Lin Tu, he suspected there would be more to come. He had long intended to leave Jiufeng Mountain for a while, but he was too late.

Bang bang bang!
With three soft sounds, the three bright stars on the Cardinal Jade Disc suddenly dimmed.

"Lord, the protective barriers of the three peaks of Weizhi, Zhujiao, and Shuilin have been destroyed, and the interconnected formation of the nine mountains has been broken. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out here for much longer." Hu Sheng's face was extremely grim.

"We can't wait any longer!" Yuan Zhen took a deep breath, his face solemn: "Give me the Cardinal Jade Plate, and you two, each of you, escape for your lives."

"I have the Five Rams Furnace in hand, which is specifically designed to counter the physical bodies of demons. Even if the protective mountain barriers are damaged, I can still hold them off for a while longer and buy you some time."

"The Imperial Academy!" Hu Shenglin's expression changed drastically.

The Five Rams Furnace can indeed subdue demons, but the demons before us are strong in more than just their physical bodies.

The lightning spewed by the opponent could quickly disintegrate the protective mountain barrier, which was clearly a powerful supernatural ability.

Although the Five Rams Furnace is powerful, it's uncertain whether it will even be able to reach its opponent.

The commander-in-chief stayed behind to cover the rear, clearly indicating he was prepared to fight to the death!
The two were about to speak to persuade him, but before they could utter a word, Yuan Zhen waved his hand to interrupt them.

"There's no need to persuade them anymore. Continuing to hesitate will only waste time."

"Besides, the sooner you get away, the sooner I can leave Nine Peaks Mountain." "As for my disciples..."

"Run as much as you can," Yuan Zhen sighed sadly.

Most of the disciples of Jiufeng Mountain were brought there by him. Among them, the core members were recruited and trained by him personally.

Few will survive this calamity.

"Damn demons, damn Luo Ding!"

Yuan Zhen couldn't help but grit his teeth and harbor resentment.

"Yuan Duyuan, who are you planning to fight to the death with?" A golden light flashed, and a teasing voice suddenly appeared.

Fellow Daoist Chen?!

"You're alright?!" Yuan Zhen was both surprised and delighted.

Just now, when the protective barrier of Weizhi Peak was broken, he thought Chen Mu was in grave danger, but unexpectedly, the other party came to him unharmed.

Wait... since you were able to arrive at the Star-Picking Hall unharmed, then...

"Fellow Daoist, do you have a way to quickly escape from Nine Peaks Mountain?" Yuan Zhen asked with delight.

"I may not be very talented, but I do have a few tricks up my sleeve," Chen Mu said with a grin.

"I have a secret technique called Shrinking Earth and Teleporting, which allows me to instantly travel thousands of miles away..." He didn't keep anyone in suspense and immediately began to introduce the Gates of Hell.

"Could you take your disciples with you away from Jiufeng Mountain?" Yuan Zhen stared at Chen Mu with hopeful eyes.

"It's not a problem for me, but can the protective mountain barrier hold?"

“Fellow Daoist, just focus on casting your spells; leave the mountain-protecting spells to me!” Yuan Zhen said firmly.

After saying that, he reached out and took the forbidden cardinal from Hu Sheng's hand, his eyes flashing with intense white light, and poured his magic power into the cardinal's jade plate.

The protective spiritual light that was originally on the verge of collapse suddenly shone brightly and expanded outward by three-tenths of an inch!

However, Yuan Zhen's face also turned pale at a visible speed.

"I entrust the fate of Jiufeng Mountain to you, fellow Daoist." He looked at Chen Mu with a solemn expression.

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.

Sensing the other party's rapidly decreasing aura, one could tell that Yuan Zhen was truly fighting for his life.

The Five Ghosts Moving Mountains were activated, and the evil spirits appeared.

Ong!
A colossal gate to hell, more than ten stories high, appeared in mid-air.

Lin Tu Hu Sheng immediately flew into the air, shouting and guiding his disciples to fly into the Gates of Hell.

Chen Mu wasn't idle either; he released all the remaining Yin spirits, unleashing gusts of Yin wind.

Those disciples who were slower to run were dragged and swept away by the eerie wind, and thrown into the gates of hell, staggering about.

Before long, all the disciples on Zhaixing Peak were moved away.

Chen Mu simply bowed slightly to Yuan Zhen at the mountaintop before immediately following Lin Tu and Hu Sheng to the other mountains.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Chen Mu led Hu Shenglin and Tu back to the entrance of the Star-Picking Hall.

At this moment, Yuan Zhen sat cross-legged, blood gushing from his nostrils and the corners of his eyes, clearly having reached his limit.
"Director, it's time to go."

Chen Mu waved his hand, creating a small gate to hell at the entrance of the Star-Picking Hall.

Yuan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking up at the large, sunken area resembling a patchwork of broken porcelain, he glanced at the Star-Picking Peak and sighed softly.

Then, with Lin Tuhu's help, he walked into the gates of hell.

The gray-white archway transformed into a vortex of black smoke, engulfing Chen Mu, who was walking at the back, before shrinking to a single point and disappearing completely.

……

The instant he disappeared, a deafening roar erupted, and the protective aura of the mountain completely dissipated.

A colossal white crane demon, obscuring the sky, descended from the heavens. Its form rapidly shrank, eventually transforming into a petite woman dressed in white, who landed in front of the Star-Picking Palace.

He glanced at the vanished Gates of Hell, then calmly looked away.

"Black Mountain, immediately gather your demon troops and, using the ley lines of Tangshan, Jiufeng Mountain, and Canglei Ravine as fulcrums, set up a transmigration spell between the two realms."

"Quickly lure the demon soldiers to descend and search for the Hundred Intent Heavenly Eye."

"Only by destroying the Eye of Heaven and Earth as soon as possible can we force the demons to retreat and thus protect our Mysterious Heaven." Her expression was cold and solemn.

The six-armed black ape, whose size had shrunk to three meters tall, nodded respectfully and immediately turned to take over Jiufeng Mountain.
