Chapter 99 Taking advantage of the situation
No one wanted to surrender. After all, the other party was a demon, who was good at using vicious means to extract souls and refine spirits. No one knew how the demons would deal with them after they were captured.

Moreover, the seven sects and the six sects of the Demonic Path have been fighting for so long that their hatred is as deep as the sea! Even if the seven sects catch the Demonic Path, they will kill them without mercy. Don't expect them to show mercy if you fall into the hands of the Demonic Path.

Therefore, no one will surrender voluntarily unless they have been subdued or captured.

When everyone was hesitating,

The old man in the early stage of foundation building who was rescued by Sun Zecheng spoke.

"I know an underground passage that leads directly to dozens of miles away, which should be enough for us to escape!" Yu Xing, an old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building in Tianque Fort, has been stationed here for more than ten years. At this moment, he finally thought of a way to escape.

These words instantly ignited the light of hope for everyone's survival. Everyone left Sun Zecheng and surrounded Yu Xing, asking excitedly:
"Brother Yu, is this true?"

"We're saved. Now we can get out of this!"

"Great!"

"Thank God!"

……

Xuan Le used his identity as the person in charge to separate the crowd. He walked up to Yu Xing and asked him about the situation of the underground passage. Then he announced the retreat without hesitation and ordered Yu Xing to lead the way.

Led by Yu Xing, a group of dozens of people went into an abandoned mine tunnel left by an underground mine while playing with moonstones.

Sun Zecheng deliberately fell behind the team. He had three layers of talisman shields activated during the battle. He quietly took out the Stone Escape Talisman and held it in his palm. He locked his spiritual sense on the three Qi Refining disciples, "Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Huang, and Senior Brother Chen", who were in charge of the key to the spirit stone warehouse.

Soon after entering the underground mine, everyone felt the entire mine tremble slightly.

"The Four Evils Formation has been broken! Move faster," Xuan Le urged, and immediately, the monks' pace became much faster.

The group had not walked far along the abandoned mine when suddenly the mine began to shake violently, and then collapsed with several loud rumbling noises.

Amid the monks' screams of panic, countless huge rocks smashed into the soil and slid down, burying everyone underneath. The entire underground world became pitch black.

Wearing three layers of talisman shields, Sun Zecheng completely ignored the huge rocks that fell down when the cave collapsed. He stood still, performed the Qi Gathering Technique and stayed still, using his spiritual sense to firmly lock the three Qi Refining disciples who were holding the keys.

Not surprisingly, the aura of the three people disappeared on the spot.

Under an attack of the level of the Earth-Shaking Talisman, the unprepared Qi Refining disciples, except for a very few like the ugly man Zhongwu who were already the best in the Qi Refining stage, would most likely die.

Sun Zecheng waited patiently for the earthquake to end, and sensed the departure of the few survivors, including Junior Brother Han. He memorized the direction Han Li left, but did not chase after him immediately.

There is no rush to rob Han Li. Han Li has not learned how to burrow into the ground at that time. He relies on the puppet to clear the way and crawls out little by little. If you let him go for a few hours, you can catch up with him.

The spiritual stones stored in the spiritual stone mine are the biggest benefit at the moment. The amount of spiritual stones mined over nearly two months is a considerable fortune.

After waiting for half an hour, all those who should have left had left, and all that were left were corpses.

Sun Zecheng used the Qi Condensation Technique to the extreme, and then sacrificed the Nameless Light Veil to activate the Stone Escape Talisman, and easily found the bodies of the three disciples who kept the warehouse keys, and got the three keys. In fact, they were three tokens of different colors, with the word "Warehouse" on the cards.

Then he returned to the underground warehouse, carefully cleaned the door, inserted the three keys into the corresponding holes, injected spiritual energy, and after a wave of spiritual energy, the door opened. Sun Zecheng flashed into the warehouse and quickly rolled all the spiritual stones in stock into the storage bag. When packing the bag, he roughly estimated that the sum of the middle-level and lower-level spiritual stones was about 250,000 lower-level spiritual stones!
Hehe, when it comes to robbery, it really is true that you get rich by eating alone.

After packing the spirit stones and preparing to leave, Sun Zecheng suddenly thought, what if an old Yuanying monster from one of the seven sects heard the news that the spirit stone mine was attacked and rushed over, and found that the people from the Demonic Path had not come down after the mine collapsed, but the spirit stone warehouse was empty, then everyone guarding the mine would be a suspect, and it would be difficult for him to get past Elder Linghu.

No, we have to make some noise and get the people from the Demon Flame Sect and the Heavenly Evil Sect to come over. That way, when they come, even if there are Yuanying stage monsters coming from the Seven Sects, they will naturally think that the spirit stones in the warehouse have fallen into the hands of the other party, and it will be impossible for the Seven Sects and the Demonic Path to confront each other.

Sun Zecheng closed the door of the spirit stone warehouse, put away the key, and took out his mace as a magic weapon, and smashed the door of the spirit stone warehouse. When the spirit stone warehouse was built, it had a small formation, which was very sturdy. Sun Zecheng smashed it with a "bang bang" sound, but a light shield protected the warehouse and the door did not move at all.

It doesn’t matter. The purpose is not to break down the warehouse door, but to alert the demon monks.

After hitting it five or six times, the cultivators of the demonic sect were alarmed. Sensing that they were coming down to clear the passage, Sun Zecheng hit it a few more times randomly, then put away his magic weapon, escaped from the mud and rocks, and floated away.

After breaking the formation, the people from the Demon Flame Sect did not dare to pursue us. Instead, they used the Earth-Shaking Talisman to collapse the mine. It seems that their underground combat capability is limited.

Here underground, Sun Zecheng was not afraid of them at all, but he had to hurry - there was a good show waiting for Sun Zecheng at the ancient teleportation array!

So, once you have achieved your goal of luring the enemy down, you can leave.

He returned along the same route to the three disciples who were in charge of the keys to the spirit stone storehouse, used magic to clean the keys and returned them one by one.

Then, he chased in the direction Han Li left.

……

The original timeline was two months later, when Han Li had already created a level two puppet. However, perhaps because the Yan family was intercepted and robbed after their defection, which stimulated the six sects of the Demonic Path, the attack on the spirit stone mine took place earlier.

As a result, Han Li only had some first-level puppets in his hands, slowly exploring and clearing a path underground. Their speed was almost as fast as Sun Zecheng who had activated the Stone Escape, one was underground and the other was in the sky.

Sun Zecheng was an earth and stone escape artist. Not long after he passed through, the cave automatically closed and recovered.
Han Li was different. He relied on puppets to dig a path, which was actually just the size of a dog hole, and then he crawled all the way with his butt sticking up!

Wherever they climb, they naturally leave obvious traces.

Following these traces, an hour later, Sun Zecheng easily caught up with Han Li.

Han Li did not use the Qi Gathering Technique. If he had that much energy, he might as well use magic tools to clear the way for the puppet. So Sun Zecheng sensed Han Li from a long distance. However, Sun Zecheng used the Qi Gathering Technique to its maximum and used the nameless veil to conceal his aura. Han Li had no idea that Sun Zecheng had caught up with him.

So what if I knew?
In terms of cultivation, Han Li is in the early stage of foundation building, while Sun Zecheng is in the late stage of foundation building.
In terms of mana reserves, Sun Zecheng is eight times that of Han Li!
In terms of talismans and magical instruments, Sun Zecheng has what Han Li has, but Han may not have what Sun Zecheng has. Han Li cannot use the silver giant sword, but Sun Zecheng can!
When it comes to talismans, everyone has a large number of them, but when Han Li fought against the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, he threw out dozens of elementary, lower-level and intermediate-level talismans. Why? Because he was stupid and couldn't learn intermediate and advanced spells, so his talismans were all low-level fireballs, ice cones, and at most intermediate-level continuous fireballs.

Sun Zecheng put the most effort into talismans, and all he had were high-end and primary talismans!
As for the puppets in Han Li's hands, they were all junk. They were somewhat useful for exploring the way and doing odd jobs, but for fighting? Sun Zecheng didn't even bother to look at them.

At this moment, Han Li had no chance against Sun Zecheng! Moreover, in this collapsed mine, Han Li could neither escape through earth nor had an earth escape talisman, while Sun Zecheng could escape through earth and had hundreds of stone escape talismans! Han Paopao didn't even have a chance to run away!

Looking at Junior Brother Han who was crawling hard in front of him with his butt raised high, Sun Zecheng was too lazy to say anything more. He aimed at the midline of his butt and shot out a ray of Qingyuan sword light, directly splitting Junior Brother Han into two halves from the butt!
He picked up Han Li's storage bag and was hesitating whether to release the treasure chest to devour Han Li. While he was hesitating, a few lines of information suddenly popped up on the panel:

【Warning to the mortal world! 】
