General of the Heavens

With the escape route right in front of him, Chen Yulou hesitated whether to save the mute man, after all, he couldn't bear to let the loyal mute man die in the underground palace!

Finally, Chen Yulou decided to save the person!

The others knew that it was alright for the mute to die, but if the leader of the Unloading Ridge bandits died in this tomb, the Unloading Ridge bandits would be a disorganized mess without a leader!

In this urgent situation, they disregarded the order of seniority, grabbed Chen Yulou without explanation, and roughly dragged him outside.

Ning Chen felt a surge of anger in his chest. If it weren't for the mute Kunlun Mole holding up the Great Liang, how would they have had a chance to escape?

In this light, the decline of the Unloading Ridge lineage after death was already destined. What can't someone who can abandon even their comrades abandon!

Ning Chen gritted his teeth and threw a kerosene lamp next to him at the mute man. The kerosene in the lamp flowed out and burst into flames with a whoosh!

The flames shot high, burning many poisonous insects to death. Chen Yulou then kicked away his companion who was pulling him away and flew to save the mute without hesitation.

"Chen Yulou is truly righteous!"

If Chen Yulou truly disregards Kunlun Mole's life or death, Ning Chen will never respect him for the rest of his life. What kind of leader of the Unloading Ridge Sect is he? He's nothing but a bandit leader...

Chen Yulou swiftly pulled out a section of the mountain ladder, stood it upright, and precisely braced it against the main beam. The mute man felt a sense of lightness throughout his body.

The impact from the beam was so great that Kunlun Moller almost fell to the ground when he relaxed, but fortunately Chen Yulou pulled him to the side.

Kunlun Mole stared with his bull-like eyes, his breathing heavy. Seeing that the leader of all the bandits in the world had risked his life to come back and rescue him, he was extremely grateful, and tears almost welled up in his bloodshot eyes.

Inspired by Ning Chen, Chen Yulou shouted the word "burn" to the group of thieves outside the door. The group understood and threw their lanterns into the hall.

The kerosene inside seeped out, and since the main hall was primarily constructed of wood, the fire quickly spread, causing the patterned centipedes to burn to death, releasing a fragrant aroma…

Taking advantage of the chaos, Chen Yulou checked if the mute man was injured. This big man had walked back and forth in front of the King of Hell's palace, and had just strolled around the gates of hell, as if he had died once.

Despite his extraordinary bravery, he couldn't help but look exhausted and coughed up a mouthful of blood. Only then did the suffocating feeling in his chest subside. He waved to everyone, indicating that he wouldn't die.

Several surviving strongmen set fire to the ancient tomb. Poisonous creatures were also hidden in the artificial hills and gardens of the main hall. Startled by the fire in the hall, they slithered out from the cracks in the rocks and tree roots, leaving the strongmen dumbfounded.

Even Ning Chen, who was on the mountain wall, was shocked. The number of centipedes and other poisonous insects in Ping Mountain was more than he had imagined.

As a citizen of the Celestial Empire, Ning Chen thought to himself, "How wonderful it would be if these poisonous insects were edible; they're all incredibly nutritious..."

The survivors were trapped in the underground palace with no way to move forward or backward. They could only signal to each other to climb back up the cliff from the top of the main hall where the fire had started.

Ning Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw everyone climb up the mountain ladder. Chen Yulou and the mute were both alive, so his risky rescue mission had not been in vain.

Chen Yulou climbed to the top of the hall, still feeling the intense heat. The fire inside the hall was probably almost completely extinguished. He couldn't believe that in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, more than twenty of his brothers had died in this side hall of the ancient tomb. Chen Yulou felt a deep sadness in his heart.

"We were really careless this time, but who would have thought there would be so many poisonous insects in the underground palace? Ordinary antidotes are completely ineffective against them..."

For some reason, Chen Yulou remembered Ning Chen's words: the poisonous insects in the valley were more numerous and stronger than he had imagined; what he was doing was a risky gamble…

Ning Chen was right again!

And he, the dignified leader of the Unloading Ridge faction, became a laughing stock.

However, this is a life-or-death situation, not the time for regret or remorse.

Chen Yulou immediately gritted his teeth and led the group, stretching out the bamboo ladder, and climbed straight up the cliff to the exit at the top of the mountain.

The remaining people used centipede-shaped mountain ladders, with the hooks at the front locking into the rock crevices or directly hooking onto the horizontal branches of pine trees. Several bamboo ladders were used in rotation to climb up the cliff.

Among these people, the mute was the most skilled at climbing, and the more dangerous the place, the more he could display his ape-like abilities.

He followed Chen Yulou to protect his safety, climbing higher and higher, passing through the white fog, and saw a sliver of light that was dazzling. It seemed that they were about to escape.

Chen Yulou was anxious and unwilling to give up. He grabbed the bamboo ladder and quickly climbed to the top.

At that moment, he was shocked to see a red Ganoderma lucidum the size of a large bowl growing in the crack of the blue stone in front of him. Chen Yulou was in a state of turmoil, but seeing that it was a Ganoderma lucidum growing on a cliff, he reached out and picked it without thinking.

"Don't pick it! Chen Yulou, are you fucking crazy?!"

Looking down at the group, Ning Chen never expected that Chen Yulou, that idiot, would actually have time to pick some "Lingzhi grass"!

This Bottle Mountain is actually a poisonous mountain. The insects inside are all highly poisonous, and the Ganoderma lucidum and other medicinal herbs growing on it are naturally also poisonous!

Sure enough, the Ganoderma lucidum, having been soaked by the poisonous clam in the valley, had long since withered and become empty shells. Upon being touched, it instantly shattered into a ball of bright red powder that scattered in the air.

Chen Yulou felt like crying but had no tears left, and said, "It's poisonous!" The image of Hua Maguai's entire body melting in the underground palace immediately flashed through his mind.

Chen Yulou let out an "Ah!" and completely forgot that he was on a steep cliff in a deep valley. He and the ladder left the cliff, and by the time he realized what had happened, it was too late.

Suddenly, it plummeted into the depths of the clouds.

"Damn it! You think you have night vision and can see everything and distinguish truth from falsehood? I think you should just call yourself Blind Chen since you've been born blind!"

He was on the verge of escape, but in the end, all his efforts were in vain. Ning Chen was unwilling to give up; he hadn't even learned any real skills from Chen Yulou yet…

Looking in the direction where Chen Yulou had just fallen, Ning Chen gritted his teeth and climbed down to the mute man who was about to save Chen Yulou.

"Listen to me, Fatty! Your eyesight is poor. If you rush down, you won't save Brother Chen; you'll only risk your own life!"

The mute man shook his head vigorously!

The mute Kunlun Moller was loyal to Chen Yulou. After stammering out his words, he was about to climb down when Ning Chen shouted angrily, "Mute!"

"If you still want to save Chen Yulou, listen to me! Otherwise, you're all dead! Die together! I don't care if you live or die!"

The mute man was so shocked by Ning Chen's shout that he didn't dare to speak. Finally, he weakly mumbled something, something like: "I'll listen to you, save him! Please!"

Ning Chen's chest heaved as he handed him the centipede-shaped mountain-hanging ladder. "You're naturally strong. When you sense Chen Yulou climbing the ladder, pull him up, understand?"

Seeing the mute man nod heavily, Ning Chen was very satisfied. He then pulled over his mountain ladder, activated his Golden Eye to search for Chen Yulou's location, and quickly began to climb.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the clouds and vanished without a trace…
