Chapter 459 Leaving the Dangerous Land and Returning to the Human World

The witch formation that Shang Lu supported with the help of the formation plate was already on the verge of collapse under the previous impact of the witch energy.

At this moment, facing the even more powerful and violent witch power, it was directly broken by the impact.

“puff–“

As soon as the witch formation was broken, Shang Lu suddenly felt a huge force hitting him.

His bones, blood vessels and internal organs seemed to be displaced, and when he opened his mouth, a stream of blood spurted out.

The battle between high-level wizards is truly terrifying. The aftermath alone is so terrifying. If you are hit head-on, your flesh and blood will evaporate and your soul will be destroyed in an instant.

Seeing this wave of witch power, which continued to sweep over without any reduction in violence after dispersing the thunder and fire of the witch formation, Shang Lu had no time to be surprised or sigh. He raised his hand and wiped his face, putting on the Nuo mask of the god with a pig body, eight legs and a snake tail, and wanted to drag Lu Yang, Bai Lingxu and Gongshu Ling’s witch armor to hide deep underground.

At this moment, a witch light accompanied by a buzzing sound descended in front of the four people and transformed into a wall of light covered with witch spells and divine patterns, blocking the aftermath of the witch energy that was coming at them with such force that it seemed to engulf the world.

Xu Shan, holding a formation plate, appeared beside the four people and said hurriedly, “Follow me to Huanyang Well.”

Shang Lu and his three companions saw that there were a few people beside Xu Shan, all of whom were injured and in a miserable state. They were the students of Baiyi County Witch Academy.

They were blown away by the powerful witch energy just now and were seriously injured. They were found one by one by Xu Shan.

Although these people’s cultivation is higher than Shang Lu and Lu Yang, it is still below the sixth level.

As the great wizard Zhongli transformed under the blessing of the mountain ghost, this battle was no longer something that the students of the wizard academy could participate in.

People whose cultivation level is below the sixth rank cannot even withstand the witch’s strong wind. If they continue to stay here, not only will they be of no help, but they will also become a burden.

Shang Lu and the other three naturally understood this situation.

They were not the kind of people who would shy away and would not stay to commit suicide and harm others. They immediately followed Xu Shan and the others and rushed towards the Huanyang Well.

On the way, they saw that not only Xu Shan was escorting the students of Baiyi County Witch Academy out of the underworld.

The witch academies in Guling and Bizhi counties also sent out experts to escort the surviving students to Huanyang Well.

Soon they followed Xu Shan and arrived near the battlefield.

The power of the witch energy here was even more violent and terrifying, and even the witch formation held up by Xu Shan was shaken by the impact.

Xu Shan, who was supporting the witch formation with all his strength, felt veins bulging all over his body and his witch energy was constantly being drained away by the formation.

He had to resort to asceticism, torturing his own body and soul, and using pain to please the gods in order to gain strength and maintain the witch formation.

Just at this moment, the great wizard Zhongli and the mountain ghost, who were besieged by the masters of the Three County Witch Academy, saw them together.

Through the great witch Zhongli, the mountain ghost already knew that the reason why the Baiyi County Witch Court investigated it was because Shang Lu investigated Zhao Qi and found out that Zhao Qi worshipped it at home, which led to a series of events that followed.

The mountain ghost did not think that he was being investigated because it was his own fault and believed that it was all Shang Lu’s fault.

If Shang Lu hadn’t been so nosy as to investigate Zhao Qi, how would it have been exposed?

If Shang Lu had not reported Zhao Qi’s sacrifice to it to the Baiyi County Witch Academy, how could it have been surrounded and ended up like this?

It’s all Shanglu’s fault!
That’s why the mountain ghost couldn’t suppress his murderous intent when he saw Shang Lu several times before.

At this moment, when it and the great wizard Zhongli saw Shanglu, they immediately guessed that the person who had just used the mermaid cream to identify the selling node was also Shanglu.

“It’s you who ruined my good deeds again!”

“Kill them! Don’t let any of them escape!”

The mountain ghost that appeared on the back of the great wizard Zhongli let out a hysterical roar.

At the same time, the head of the great witch Zhongli opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of witchcraft air in the direction of Shang Lu and others.

As soon as this witch spirit came out of his mouth, it turned into a group of soul-eating bone crows, which were about to fly over Shanglu with a fierce momentum, devour its flesh and eat its soul.

Fortunately, this move failed to break through the masters of the Three County Witch Academy who surrounded him and was completely blocked.

“Go quickly!”

The masters of the Three County Witch Academy shouted loudly, urging Shang Lu and other students to go to the Huanyang Well.

In the witch formation set up by Xu Shan, Shang Lu spat out a mouthful of blood.

Although the witch energy bone crow spewed out by the great witch Zhongli was blocked by the masters of the Three County Witch Academy, the murderous intent and hatred between him and the mountain ghost were like a sharp blade, hitting Shang Lu heavily.

Fortunately, Shang Lu was still wearing the Nuo mask of the god with a pig body and eight legs and a snake tail at this moment, and there were also many disordered auras in his body, so he was not directly killed by the strange and terrifying murderous intent and hatred, but he still suffered losses and injuries.

Xu Shan noticed this and turned around to ask him, “How are you?”

“It’s OK.” Shang Lu said while spitting out blood, “I have a lot of blood, so I won’t die if I spit out a few times.”

“If you’re not going to die, leave quickly!” Xu Shan urged.

The Great Wizard Zhongli and the Mountain Ghost were not only stronger than expected, but also very cunning. If we delayed for a moment longer, no one could be sure what tricks they would come up with.

By then, even if there were masters from the Three County Witch Academy, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to protect Shang Lu and the others.

Shang Lu didn’t say anything, but just nodded vigorously.

In a flash, they rushed to the Huanyang Well. At this time, students from the Wu Academy in Guling and Baizhi counties had already jumped into the Huanyang Well under protection.

Shang Lu and the others did not hesitate and immediately jumped into the well.

There was no water in the Huanyang Well, and it was pitch black. After people jumped in, they did not keep falling, but instead seemed to be wrapped by some force.

This force contains both yin and yang, which collide with each other, and the chaos is like the world before it was created.

When people are in it, they feel hot and cold, and their souls seem to be separated from their bodies.

Fortunately, this strange feeling did not last long, and everyone’s souls were not really separated from their bodies.

Suddenly, everyone’s eyes lit up, and as their vision returned, they found that the scene around them had changed drastically.

It was no longer the dark and terrifying scene of the underworld with corpses and blood everywhere.

Instead, he returned to the human world, to Pingdu Mountain, and looking at the sky, the east was already bright, the night had passed, and it was dawn.

Compared with the horrific scenes in the underworld, the “wheat fields” that the wheat thieves “cultivated” in Pingdu Mountain did not seem so terrifying.

After confirming their return to the human world, the students of the Three County Witch Academy breathed a sigh of relief.

The same is true for Shanglu and his four companions.

However, after looking around, they frowned again.

“Something’s not right…”

Lu Yang stared at the “Gate of Hell”, the entrance to the underworld shrouded in strange fog not far away, and said in a low voice.

Something is definitely wrong.

Before they were swallowed into the dangerous land of Hades by the “Gate of Hell”, they cast a spell to send a message to the camp outside the valley, asking them to contact the Witch Academy and transfer the corresponding witch weapons and equipment. At the same time, they sent personnel to seal off the dangerous land to prevent it from expanding and polluting more areas.

Even if it takes time to transport the wizard equipment from the Wizard Academy, the camp should still send people over to seal off this place to prevent the danger from spreading.

But when Shang Lu and the other three looked at the surrounding situation, they found that there was only the arrangement they had hastily built before in this area.

These arrangements have been destroyed by the chaotic evil spirit emanating from the underworld. Both the “Gate of Ghost” and the chaotic evil fog have expanded in scale much larger than before.

Obviously, in the past few hours, no one came to build a magic formation and seal off the dangerous place.

Was there an accident at the camp?
Or was there something wrong with their previous communication, and they failed to convey the situation here?
The four of them looked at each other and made a decision in an instant. Instead of staying here to wait for Jian Cheng, Lu Dao and others to come out, they left the mountain and rushed to the camp to find out the situation.

But just as they were about to explain the situation to everyone around them and leave, they suddenly heard a senior brother from the Baizhi County Witch Academy suddenly shouting towards the northwest:

“Who is spying on us? Show up immediately and identify yourself, or else don’t blame me for being rude!”

As he spoke, the senior brother from the Baizhi Witch Academy waved his hand.

Several palm-sized witchcraft straw men immediately flew out from his sleeves, and under the stimulation of witchcraft, they transformed into several armored soldiers in mid-air and pounced on the miasma in the northwest.

“Don’t do it, it’s our own people.”

A human voice was heard from the miasma.

Then the fog thinned and more than a dozen people appeared.

They wore wizard robes, held the jade tokens of the wizard academy in their hands, and shouted out the secret code for this operation.

The leading wizard explained, “We noticed someone suddenly appeared, and we didn’t know if they were friend or foe, so we were secretly on the lookout. Why did you suddenly appear here, and why are you all injured? And what is that strange government office in the distance that is shrouded in blood mist?”

The wizard’s voice is so friendly that people can’t help but believe what he says.

Moreover, not only did they have the jade token of the Witch Academy, they also knew the secret codes for operations, which further dispelled the suspicions of the students of the Three County Witch Academy.

Someone immediately answered his question:

“Don’t get close to that government office. It’s the ‘gate of hell’ leading to the underworld. Once you get close, you will be transported to the underworld, where it is chaotic and treacherous, and extremely dangerous!”

“We were sent to the evil land of the underworld. After going through a lot of hardships, we returned to the human world with the help of our teachers. Although we were seriously injured, compared to those who died in the evil land and turned into monsters, we are very lucky!”

The wizard hurriedly asked again: “Where are the teachers? Why didn’t they come back with you?”

A student from the Witch Academy answered, “The great witch Zhongli was bewitched by the mountain ghosts and rebelled. They are fighting fiercely with them in the dangerous land of the Underworld. We can’t help them, so we left the Underworld first.”

When the wizard heard this, he immediately rushed towards the students of the wizard academy with a dozen people around him, saying:
“We brought Taiyi Xumai Ointment, Longyuan Huxin Powder and other spiritual medicines, and we will send them to you to heal your injuries.”

“Great!”

“Thank you very much”

The students of the Three County Witch Academy were overjoyed when they heard this.

Taiyi Xumai Paste, Longyuan Huxin Powder and other magical medicines are both first-class healing products.

With these magical medicines, their injuries will surely recover quickly without any sequelae.

Only Shang Lu and the other three did not say anything, but exchanged quick glances.
