Chapter 462 The Time Is Coming
There were no more accidents this time.

Most of the rice thieves in the valley were dead or injured, and the “Eight Ghost Immortals” were all wiped out. The disciple from the Three County Witch Academy who reported the news got out of the valley smoothly and found the people in the camp.

Hearing that a dangerous place had appeared in the valley, the people who stayed behind in the three camps took it very seriously. They contacted their respective witch academies to report the situation and sent out all their reserve troops.

Reinforcements arrived quickly.

The group of people who came not only replaced the injured disciples of the Three County Witch Academy who were constructing the witch formation, but also brought healing elixirs, asking them to take them quickly and practice to heal their wounds, so as not to leave behind a root of illness that would affect their future practice.

On their way here, these people had already heard about what happened here. They all knew that Shang Lu and his four companions not only assisted Wei Wu in the Underworld Ruins and rescued the masters of the Three County Witch Academy, but also used their magical eyes to identify thieves and saved the disciples of the Three County Witch Academy after leaving the Underworld Ruins.

Therefore, when they came here and saw Shang Lu and his four companions, their looks were somewhat complicated.

The people from the Baiyi County Witch Academy naturally held their heads high and their faces filled with pride.

Seeing the familiar faces from the other two counties’ witch academies, he said, “That’s right. Shang Lu, Lu Yang, Bai Lingxu, and Gong Shuling are all disciples of our academy. It doesn’t matter whether to save them or not. The five counties’ witch academies in Ba State share the same roots and are one family. We should help each other.”

The people from the witch academies in the other two counties were so angry that they gnashed their teeth.

But I can’t even curse at people.

I could only curse in my heart: “Who the hell asked you these questions? We didn’t say anything, you were the ones talking to yourself.”

But deep down, they were extremely envious of the good luck of the Baiyi County Witch Academy.

Why isn’t this kind of proud thing done by their disciples?

Just looking at the faces of these people in the Baiyi County Witch Academy, you can tell that from now on, it will be difficult for them to stand up to the Baiyi County Witch Academy.

The Guling County Witch House is a little better, at least Bai Chen is helping to kill the He thief.

The Witch Academy of Baizhi County has not had any outstanding performance at all. In the future, its status will probably be at the bottom among the three county witch academies.

What Shang Lu and his friends didn’t expect was that Hua Xuelu was also among the people who came to reinforce from the Baiyi County Witch Academy.

Hua Xuelu was not seen on the flying boat before. Could it be that he arrived at the camp early in the morning and was responsible for the preliminary arrangements?

When he saw Shang Lu and the other three, a blush of joy actually appeared on Hua Xuelu’s fat, dark-white face.

“You four have done a great job this time. Take a good rest and leave the rest to us.”

Hua Xuelu frowned after laughing for just a few times, as he noticed the strange changes in the four people.

Although the tumor on Shang Lu’s forehead disappeared and turned into a scar, Lu Yang had white pupilless eyes, Bai Lingxu had a swollen face like a pig’s head, and blood and flesh kept oozing out of the cracks in Gongshu Ling’s witch armor… Each of them was very conspicuous, making it hard for people not to notice it.

“Are you contaminated?”

Hua Xuelu asked, and without waiting for the four to answer, he raised his furry bear paw and swiped it in front of him. Like a magic trick, he took out four spiritual bamboo shoots out of thin air and threw them to them.

“These spiritual bamboo shoots have the effect of suppressing chaos and purifying pollution. Take them quickly.”

“Thank you, Hua Xuelu.”

Shang Lu and the other three took the magical bamboo shoots and bowed to express their gratitude.

“It’s already this late, so stop doing these empty formalities and quickly suppress the strange changes in you.”

Hua Xuelu was really afraid that the four of them would turn into monsters, so he turned around and shouted to the people from Bozhi County:
“Elder Sun, don’t you know how to chant? Come quickly and help them chant the Taisu Qingxin Mantra. This person is the lifesaver of your disciples, why don’t you come quickly to repay him?”

Someone from Baizhi County responded with “OK” and jumped in front of Shang Lu and his four companions with a few leaps.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a golden monkey in human form. Shang Lu could not help but marvel at it secretly, thinking that the wizards of the Ba Kingdom were indeed unconventional.

There were many goblins in the witch academies of Baiyi and Bozhi counties. They were not only students, but also served as school registrars and elders.

It’s just that the title of Elder Sun is really a bit out of place.

However, this elder Sun from Baizhi County is really good at chanting scriptures.

As he made hand seals and chanted the “Tai Su Qing Xin Mantra”, the minds of Shang Lu and the other three quickly entered a mysterious state.

The four of them knew that it was not easy to reach such a realm, so they quickly swallowed the spiritual bamboo shoots and sat cross-legged.

Lu Yang, Bai Lingxu and Gongshu Ling are using spiritual bamboo shoots and the Tai Su Qing Xin Mantra to purify the chaotic divinity that has contaminated their bodies.

Shang Lu, however, activated his five internal organs, trying to devour and digest the chaotic divinity.

Hua Xuelu watched Shang Lu and the other three sit cross-legged and begin to suppress the chaos and purify the pollution, but he did not let his heart go and did not leave.

It simply sat down on the spot, standing guard beside them, and paying close attention to the situation of the four people.

If something is wrong with someone, it is best to help immediately.

Time flies quickly during this process.

In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened.

However, the masters of the Three County Witch Academy have not yet come out of the ruins.

This situation made everyone here feel nervous and worried.

After all, there is a time rule in the dangerous place of the underworld: if you have not come out within twelve hours, your body will rot and your soul will change, and you will completely become a member of the underworld.

If all the masters of the three counties’ witch academies were to be killed in the mysterious and dangerous place of the underworld, not only would the three counties suffer huge losses, but the country of Ba would also suffer serious damage.

By then, even if the evil spirits do not take advantage of the situation, the Chu State, which has deployed troops on the border, will rush in at one swoop!

In addition, countries such as Shu and Qin, which have always been eyeing the State of Ba, will certainly not miss the opportunity to divide up the State of Ba.

Hua Xuelu frowned, and after discussing with several doctors from the Baiyi County Witch Academy, he turned around and called the people from Baizhi and Guling counties, suggesting, “Why don’t we select a few experienced people to go in and take a look at the situation?”

Elder Sun had already stopped chanting. After listening to Hua Xuelu’s advice, he shook his head and said:
“I have already asked before. The underworld is extremely strange. There is a high possibility that there is a clone of the Mad God hidden inside. If we rashly send people in, we can’t say whether we can successfully reach the Huanyang Well. Moreover, the people in the underworld include not only your Supervisor, but also our Dean, the recorder of the Guling County Wuyuan, and the two patrol officers Zishu and Sishe from the Weiwu… If even they can’t get rid of the mountain ghost and the great witch Zhongli, it will be useless for us to send anyone in to get out of the underworld.”

The people from Guling County Witch Academy nodded in agreement: “Elder Sun is right. What we can do now is to stay here and seal off the dangerous place. Even if the worst happens, we can’t let the mountain ghost escape with Zhongli the Great Witch!”

Hua Xuelu knew that what Elder Sun said made sense, but he really couldn’t continue waiting like this.

Just as it was about to volunteer to go to the dangerous place of the underworld to investigate the situation in person, it suddenly heard a creepy long howl coming from the “Gate of Hell” in the blood mist in the distance.

It was as if thousands of evil spirits were chirping in unison:

“Ghost gate is open, strangers stay away…”

Everyone turned their heads.

Then I saw the “Ghost Gate” that was made up of countless corpses and constantly oozing dirty blood suddenly open.

A foul-smelling wind whistled out and enveloped everyone, causing their witchcraft spirit to boil instantly, and there was a sign of chaos and disorder.
