Chapter 155: Am I Dead?
Ji Yang quickly took out dozens of superior flying swords and let them absorb energy.
As the superior flying swords approached, the immobilizing mirror flashed with light, instantly absorbing all the flying swords Ji Yang had taken out.
After absorbing the superior flying swords, the immobilizing mirror seemed to have taken a powerful tonic, automatically sketching out the entire Xuan Iron Mine.
Once the Xuan Iron Mine was fully depicted, the mirror burst forth with intense light, and the mine, which had been swaying dangerously and on the verge of collapse, suddenly came to a stop.
If not now, then when?
Ji Yang seized the opportunity, dragging behind him a long string of "corpses," and rushed out of the glowing exit with astonishing speed!
“Ah!”
At the camp outside the mine, not only Elder Lu, but also other disciples let out deep sighs.
They never expected that receiving punishment at the sect’s mine would lead to losing their lives; who could have imagined that?
For those disciples who entered the mine today, they might as well have sealed their fates.
Some disciples, feeling a sense of dread, quietly resolved that even if they were sent to Bipotan or Youfeng Valley, they could not stay in this mine.
Although the other two places punished those who made more serious mistakes, at least they wouldn’t lose their lives!
While they lamented, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in Elder Lu’s eyes.
Unsure if he had misheard, he just noticed that the collapse of the mine had paused for a brief moment.
Elder Lu, astonished, shook his head quickly:
“Impossible! I must be imagining things!”
Seeing the last exit about to disappear, Elder Lu prepared to inform the other disciples, making arrangements for their aftermath.
But at that moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the exit.
The figure appeared calm, though somewhat pale, yet there was an inexplicable charm in every movement!
“Ji Yang?”
Elder Lu exclaimed in surprise, followed by a wave of joy on his face.
A stroke of luck among misfortune! Ji Yang made it out!
Though the other disciples perished inside, at least one had escaped! And it was the sect’s most talented disciple!
This brought a sense of relief to Elder Lu’s heart.
Other disciples were momentarily stunned, finding it hard to believe that a disciple had managed to survive.
Some disciples who had heard about Ji Yang looked on in admiration.
Truly, he was the talented disciple of the sect!
The rest of the disciples, not knowing who he was, began to inquire about Ji Yang’s identity.
One sharp-eyed disciple noticed the long rope in Ji Yang’s hand and couldn’t help but ask,
“What is that?”
Hearing the question, the other disciples also turned to look.
After Ji Yang left the mine, he exerted a bit of force with both hands and then suddenly yanked hard!
A long string of “corpses” emerged from the mine, revealing themselves to everyone!
“?”
“What is this?”
Seeing the fellow disciples lying on the ground, completely unmoving, many showed expressions of sorrow.
One disciple recognized a familiar face among the “corpses” and couldn’t help but kneel down, crying out in distress:
“Brother Wan! Why did you leave us?”
“We promised to walk the path together, and now you’ve gone ahead of me. How am I supposed to carry on?”
“Wuwuwu!”
The sounds of grief echoed around, and the other disciples shared in the feelings of sorrow.
Some disciples recognized their fellow brothers and sisters among the fallen, their faces filled with sadness as they bowed their heads in silence.
A bleak atmosphere spread rapidly in the hearts of everyone present.
At this moment, Ji Yang felt a bit speechless!
Elder Lu looked surprised, and then a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
Before Ji Yang could explain, the mine behind him completely collapsed!
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, the entire Xuan Iron Mine sank into the ground, far surpassing the collapse of Ziying Mine last time.
The impact of the collapse created huge waves, causing many disciples to lose their balance and fall to the ground.
Yet, this did little to quell the sorrow in their hearts.
The massive waves gradually brought some of the unconscious disciples back to awareness. Before they could fully wake up, they heard the cries of many disciples around them:
“Wuwuwu!”
“Brother Shihai, fare thee well!”
“Brother Kou Si, on the road to the underworld, with so many brothers and sisters accompanying you, you won’t feel lonely!”
The still-dazed disciples were confused:
“???”
“Did someone just call my name?”
“So,
“I’m dead?”
The first disciple to regain consciousness struggled to sit up, wanting to see what was happening.
He instinctively rubbed his head upon looking up, puzzled about how he had died.
Not remembering the details, he turned his gaze forward.
At that moment, many disciples were bowing their heads in silence, while some familiar faces were crying for him!
This left his already inflexible mind frozen in shock.
“I’m alive! I’ve come back to life!”
“They’ve risen from the dead!”
Some disciples, still mourning, hurriedly stepped back in fear, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Amid the astonished voices from the crowd, other unconscious disciples quickly regained awareness:
“Junior Brother, what just happened?”
“You’re not dead?”
One disciple looked confused.
The awakened disciple wore a blank expression:
“Am I supposed to be dead?”
Many disciples stopped crying and used primordial spirit energy to check on everyone’s condition, confirming that their fellow brothers and sisters seemed truly alive!
They had initially jumped to conclusions, thinking everyone had perished because they saw the others tangled together.
They didn’t expect to cause such a big misunderstanding.
One disciple frowned!
So they had cried for nothing?
How would they recover lost emotions?
But for many disciples, there was mostly joy.
After Ji Yang emerged, Elder Lu appeared more relaxed, especially upon seeing the string of “corpses” behind Ji Yang. With his exceptional abilities, Elder Lu quickly determined that these disciples were merely unconscious.
However, noticing the other disciples’ heightened emotions, he refrained from saying much. Even cultivators could not live forever; most would eventually face decline in their lifespan or unexpected incidents leading to their demise. Practicing in advance wasn’t a bad idea.
On the other side, the awakened disciples habitually rubbed their heads, trying to recall what had happened, but after thinking for a while, all they remembered was that at the last moment, they seemed about to become immortals.
Soon, these disciples learned that Ji Yang had saved them.
Especially upon seeing the Xuan Iron Mine that had collapsed several dozen meters ahead, a hint of fear surfaced in their eyes.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Ji!”
“Thanks to Senior Brother Ji for saving our lives!”
Among the crowd, Luo Li blankly stared at the opportunity buried beneath the ground, his expression extremely complex.
His guess wasn’t wrong; the entire Xuan Iron Mine had collapsed, and beneath it indeed lay opportunities.
But he had misjudged his own strength!
If it weren’t for Ji Yang, his life would have ended here.
Thinking of this, Luo Li’s gaze toward Ji Yang held a touch of gratitude!
Luo Li never owed anyone a debt of gratitude!
