Among the crowd, two young juniors showed delighted faces, quickly crawling towards the exit and leading the way out.
Wang Zhendong also noticed at this moment that the power of the Hell Level Mo River relied solely on Li Hao’s resistance. Should Li Hao leave, they would be immediately overwhelmed; the longer they stayed, the more strain it would place on Li Hao.
“Get moving, don’t delay!”
He shouted urgently.
Seeing him speak, Wang Yongzhi and the others knew this was not the time for emotional decisions and, gritting their teeth, they quickly stepped into the portal and disappeared.
“Haotian Divine General, you must come back alive!”
Wang Yongzhi called out loudly as he too stepped into the portal. Explore new worlds at My Virtual Library Empire
Wang Zhendong did not delay either; staying here, like the other members of the Wang Family, he couldn’t help Li Hao.
Standing on the portal, he stared intently at the youth, clenching his fists.
Having experienced the Mo River so many times, this was the first time he felt so powerless, realizing that one day he would become a burden that needed the support of others.
Soon, his vision changed, light and shadow alternated, his body seemed to travel through the void, and when he next appeared, he was outside of the Ksitigarbha Buddha Statue in the mountain temple.
“Eh, that was resolved quickly?”
The Ksitigarbha Buddha Statue, with eyes squinting as if smiling, and outside the statue, Wang Zhenfeng and Wang Zhenping, two senior members who had not entered initially, waited there.
Young ones liked to congregate, but these old folks were more cautious.
Seeing the golden light burst from the top of the Ksitigarbha Buddha Statue and people being transported, those waiting outside were surprised and caught off guard.
Even though “Chong Er” was able to clear the Youdu Level Mo River, the rules of each Mo River were different. Even if one could clear it, could it be cleared so quickly?
Could there truly be some secret technique for clearing it, one move conquering all?
Soon, they saw Wang Zhendong step out, while the golden light atop the Ksitigarbha Buddha Statue had retracted and disappeared.
“Eh? Where is Haotian Divine General?”
Wang Zhenfeng was startled, he couldn’t help asking, while a sense of dread suddenly loomed in his mind.
The faces of Wang Zhendong and others became grave upon stepping out, all eyes fixed on the Ksitigarbha Buddha Statue.
Wang Yongzhi and the others also looked on with nervous and restless expressions.
But a moment passed, then another,… As time slowly passed and an incense stick burned down, there still wasn’t any movement or new pathway opening on top of the Ksitigarbha Buddha Statue.
A shock went through Wang Zhendong’s heart, his expression growing uglier as he suddenly recalled what the youth had said earlier.
Considering the situation back then, could he still be planning to clear it?
“What’s going on, why is no one talking, did something happen to Haotian Divine General?!”
Seeing that Li Hao hadn’t returned, the members of the Wang Family outside immediately turned pale, realizing that something serious had happened.
Especially Wang Zhendong and others, their expressions gloomy as the bottom of a pot.
“Child, tell Grandpa what happened?”
Wang Zhenping turned to his grandchildren.
The two young juniors were Li Jiangying and Li Rumeng; they had not recognized Li Hao after he reconstructed his body.
But upon hearing the reference to Li Hao earlier, they immediately knew that the youth was the peer they had long admired.
In the Divine General Mansion of the Li Family, their talents weren’t sufficient to compete against him in the True Dragon, and though they were discontent, feeling their mother’s words were right — life’s path is long.
There were numerous cases of exceptional talents perishing halfway, providing great comfort to their minds.
The true genius laughs last.
“He hasn’t come out yet, he must be dead,” said Li Rumeng, slightly curling her lip.
Wang Zhenping was taken aback—Dead?
The crisp voice of the girl also startled those like Wang Zhendong, who were still hoping and waiting, causing a shock to their hearts.
Clearly, if Li Hao hadn’t returned, he was either entangled by the Hell Level Mo River and couldn’t reach the portal, or he was attempting to clear it; either way, it was a near-certain death situation!
Wang Zhendong clenched his fists; that Saintly youth with a bright future that was almost awe-inspiring had covered their retreat, giving them a way out and landing himself in extreme peril.
Their relation wasn’t that close in the past.
Wang Yongzhi and others exchanged glances, seeing the complex and pained look in each other’s eyes.
It was as if anger was building up inside them, unable to be vented.
Previously jubilant to join in the excitement, they ended up being a stumbling block, burdening the young Divine General!
If the emperor knew, he would probably be furious enough to vomit blood, unimaginable how enraged he would be.
Their guilt and remorse were so intense; they almost wanted to punch themselves. At their age, how could they forget themselves!
“How did he die?”
Wang Zhenping, returning to his senses, couldn’t help but ask his grandchildren.
Although he didn’t have a good impression of the youth, he didn’t wish for his death; after all, this was a fierce warrior of the Human Race.
“He insisted on showing off, even though we could have left together, huh, he just loves to play the hero,” said Li Jiangying, envy evident in his eyes, speaking softly.
Inside the Divine General Mansion, ever since the youth had revealed his cultivation level, all attention was on him, never mentioning them again.
His radiance overshadowed all his peers, even Li Qianfeng, who had apprenticed to the Buddha Lord, became a mere foil, fading into obscurity after defeat.
Though the youth spoke softly, the mountain temple was too silent, and with the formidable power of the Wang Family members, the words echoed in their ears.
Wang Zhendong suddenly turned his head, eyes fierce like a hawk, glaring at Li Jiangying:
“What are you saying, say that again?”
Li Jiangying was startled, not expecting such a reaction from his second grandfather.
Before he could speak again, Wang Zhendong took a step forward and, with a slap, struck Li Jiangying across the face.
