"Once the Celestial Pill Sect successfully finds that place, they’ll make a fortune. The price of an Energy Stone is sky-high, at least one billion, and if it’s an inexhaustible Energy Stone mountain, imagine the amount they would earn. It’s clear how immense the Black Alliance’s ambition is."

At this point, Niu Xiaosan laughed at himself; it was really unbelievable that he initially signed such a contract with the Celestial Pill Sect.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong furrowed his brow. The Energy Stone was now in his hands, and according to Mo Yun, the secret within the Energy Stone was not just about its energy properties. When the three Jade Pendants are gathered, there is an even greater secret.

But where is the third Energy Stone?

This is what troubles Chen Tianlong.

While they were chatting merrily, there was suddenly some noise ahead, and they quickly climbed off the rock and hid behind it.

"Hong, we finally reached the mountain top. What should we do next?" Lin Xiaoting looked at the bright scenery outside, knowing it was already daylight, but still no news of Chen Tianlong. As she took out her phone to make a call, she suddenly found there was no signal.

Having served in the Assassin Group, Lin Xiaoting immediately realized it was a signal jamming tactic used by the enemy, specifically to deal with Black Alliance headquarters and the surrounding environment signal block.

"Wait!" Red-eyed Eagle had no means for the moment, but she felt that someone would come to rescue her. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Chairman," at this moment, Niu Xiaosan saw the Red-eyed Eagle and confirmed it. He hurriedly walked out from behind the rock, followed quickly by Chen Tianlong: "I just knew you’d come here."

Seeing Niu Xiaosan’s slightly excited expression, Red-eyed Eagle approached: "Hmm, Xue Kong and Xu Dihu betrayed us. I could only come through the tunnel. It’s very bad now, we must think of a way; otherwise, we may die here."

"Yes, I don’t know if your uncle’s family has received the message, otherwise I’m afraid we’re in dire straits." Niu Xiaosan sighed, "Your uncle Sword God, if he knew the news, would certainly rush over as soon as possible, but with so many people outside, whether they can come up is also a problem."

"Even if uncle came, he might not be able to save us. After all, this time, it’s the Celestial Pill Sect that’s causing trouble. Now they are strong in numbers, uncle coming over here would be looking for death." Red-eyed Eagle didn’t want the people from Divine Blade Manor to come over, although Divine Blade Manor is well known in Black Alliance City, her uncle Sword God possessed a Celestial Dao six-star power, which is considered powerful.

While speaking, Red-eyed Eagle inadvertently glanced at Chen Tianlong, feeling some sense of familiarity, but Chen Tianlong was not only disguised, but his face looked a bit dirty from the journey, making it hard to discern his true appearance.

"Xiaosan, who is this person?" Red-eyed Eagle asked warily. Since it was a life-and-death moment, if the newcomer was Hao Shuai’s man, a sneak attack would ruin them all.

"Ah? This is... the person who saved me on the road. You know me; I’m always grateful, and seeing the enemy chasing, I could only escape with him." Niu Xiaosan explained.

Upon hearing this, Red-eyed Eagle didn’t doubt much, looking at this person with an inexplicable sense of familiarity: "Alright."

Chen Tianlong quickly walked over and said, "Chairman, don’t worry. Our main issue isn’t the enemy’s strength but our inability to contact outsiders. If we could communicate outside, things would be much simpler since we’re on the mountain top. Even if they dispatch a large force, it would take time to reach here. I’ve checked the mountain pass; it’s easy to defend and hard to attack."

"Oh? You know military strategy?" Red-eyed Eagle was surprised, not expecting this guy to understand these things, becoming somewhat amazed.

"Hehe, just something learned through reading while bored. The most critical problem now is our insufficient manpower. If we had a few hundred people, we would have solutions." Chen Tianlong said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoting frowned, noting that this person’s character was very much like Chen Tianlong, and his style of speaking was too similar.

"I have a way! A few hundred people, right? There are about three hundred loyal comrades in the army. However, considering the current situation, I’ve left them inactive to conserve life, but if necessary, they can act. The key still is the signal problem you mentioned; I can’t communicate with them." Niu Xiaosan said with a bitter smile.

"Signal, eh? Perhaps it will be restored soon!" Chen Tianlong looked towards the sky, thinking, "Zhao Lei should be almost ready."

Suddenly, Chen Tianlong remembered a crucial issue: the army at the mountain’s base only focused on surrounding, with not many coming up. Additionally, they searched as they moved; Chen Tianlong and the others had been climbing the mountain, logically speaking, it would take them at least half an hour to reach the summit.

But if coming through the tunnel, that’s uncertain.

"By the way, Chairman Hong, was anyone tracking you when you came through the tunnel?" Chen Tianlong asked.

"Ah? It seems like someone would have, if I’m guessing right, Hao Shuai and Xue Kong would find us." Red-eyed Eagle immediately replied, but quickly realized that the person in front probably didn’t know who Hao Shuai is and urgently explained: "Hao Shuai is the leader of this group, and Xue Kong is a rebellious subordinate."

"Xue Kong?" Chen Tianlong paused, recalling his brother Chen Kong, suddenly losing focus. Wondering if he was Chen Kong, suffering from amnesia, and still being this bad.

"You know him?" Lin Xiaoting seemed to have noticed something amiss; if this guy knew Xue Kong, then it’s highly likely he is Chen Tianlong.

"I don’t know him." Chen Tianlong obviously saw through Lin Xiaoting’s thoughts and quickly said, "Hello everyone, I’m Dao. Based on the information from the Chairman, I think the best strategy is to block off the path up the mountain."

"Block it? How?" Red-eyed Eagle asked, surprised.

"Hehe, Chairman Hong, your strength might surpass Celestial Dao now, no need to tell me you don’t know how to block it." Chen Tianlong deliberately reminded.

"Ah? I understand now." Red-eyed Eagle chuckled bitterly. Honestly, these past few months, she used two Super Qi Gathering Pills, ascending to Celestial Dao six-stars, she just hadn’t tested its power yet, mentally still at a Tunnel level, so she hadn’t thought about blocking the entrance.

Niu Xiaosan was also surprised, but soon understood; with Red-eyed Eagle at Celestial Dao six-stars, wrecking a cave should be easy.

Red-eyed Eagle didn’t delay any longer, directly entering the cavern and starting the Heart Method, vigorously striking the cavern wall.

After about five minutes, the cave wall collapsed, blocking a section of the entrance.

She continued to retreat a few steps, repeating the previous action. Soon, the ten-meter cave was completely blocked by rubble, leaving Red-eyed Eagle quite exhausted.

"Hey everyone, could you come over and lend a hand?" Suddenly, a voice called out from behind. Everyone turned to see Chen Tianlong standing atop a large rock, shouting.
