Dumbfounded. Watching Sun Wukong leave just as he said he would, without any hesitation, not only Sora but all of Erica's group were stunned.
In myths and legends, this monkey was a maverick with a strange personality who couldn't be judged by common sense. Now, they had finally witnessed it firsthand.
"Oh no, Sora, the Great Sage must have gone to the mortal realm!"
Suddenly thinking of something, Yuri's face turned pale, and she cried out in agitation.
Erica, Liliana, and the other girls' hearts also jumped in alarm. Sun Wukong was a troublemaker to begin with, and now he had been suppressed for several hundred years. If he really returned to the mortal realm, wouldn't the world fall into chaos!
His expression also turned grave. Sora knew that he had underestimated this monkey this time.
If it were any other god, even knowing they were at a disadvantage, they would generally not flee from battle in order to display their valor and maintain their dignity.
But what Sora forgot was that this monkey was completely different from other gods. In mythology, he did all sorts of sneaky things. In a way, he was a shameless, bottomless character just like Sora himself!
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!
However, just as Sora was about to set off in pursuit of Sun Wukong, another strange event occurred. The entire ground began to shake violently.
"Great is the primal power of the Earth, on which all things depend for life. It is obedient and receptive to Heaven. The Earth in its thickness carries all things; its virtue is in harmony with the infinite..."
It was Sun Wukong's voice, which had just left, now ringing out in the sky!
Steadying themselves, Sora and the girls looked up. They saw Sun Wukong, riding his Jindouyun, had flown back at lightning speed and was hovering in mid-air, forming hand seals and chanting a peculiar spiritual incantation.
The entire ground turned completely to stone, but it undulated like ocean waves. Sora's and the girls' bodies slowly began to sink into the stone.
First their ankles, then their knees, soon reaching their waists. Before long it would spread to their chests, and finally their heads... Sora and the girls all used their own techniques to try and break free, but because of Sun Wukong's spell, it was completely useless!
"Hahaha... Kid, you were tricked by Old Sun, weren't you? Fun, fun, ahahahaha..."
Seeing Sora and the girls struggling below, Sun Wukong on his Jindouyun was so happy he jumped up and down.
Forget the Cult Leader and Athena; this time even Sora himself was furious. This damned monkey was so cunning, using a feint to launch a surprise attack!
The opponents he had met before all disdained using schemes and tricks, which had caused Sora's vigilance to drop. Today, he had finally paid the price!
"You can all have a good taste of Old Sun's [Seventy-two Earthly Fiends Divine Curse]! I will seal you with the secret art of the stone mountain caves!"
Changing his hand seal, Sun Wukong pointed at the empty space in front of him. Instantly, a high stone wall rose up and began to close in, intending to completely seal and suppress Sora and the girls!
As a legendary and highly renowned hero god, Sun Wukong not only possessed the nature of a 'Steel' war god but was also a deity proficient in various immortal arts and divine curses with infinite supernatural powers. The [Seventy-two Earthly Fiends Divine Curse] was one of his many signature techniques.
"Sun Wukong, do you think a mere trick like this can seal us?!"
Letting her body continue to sink, the Cult Leader sneered with disdain, her beautiful eyes, which were fixed on Sun Wukong, brimming with killing intent.
"Hehehe... Fierce woman, Old Sun knows that this trick alone is not enough to deal with you. I just wanted to delay you here for a while."
Stroking his chin with a playful smile, Sun Wukong nonchalantly stated his true purpose.
The monkey was extremely clever. Having been suppressed for several hundred years, Sun Wukong's strength had also been greatly depleted. If he let this guy Sora, who was as shameless as himself, trap him with his whole family, he would really suffer a great loss.
So, with a flash of inspiration, Sun Wukong came up with this idea. First, he would hold these guys off, and he would use this time to recover his strength as quickly as possible!
"Kid, you all can struggle slowly in here. Old Sun will be waiting for you in the mortal realm! Ahahahaha..."
Riding his Jindouyun, he vanished in an instant. This time, Sun Wukong should have really left.
"Damn it!!!"
Her lips pale with anger, Luo Hao was super furious, but she could only watch helplessly as the monkey left.
"King, we're about to be sealed!"
Her entire body was more than half submerged, and only a narrow slit remained above her head. Erica shouted anxiously to Sora.
Looking at the anxious Erica, Liliana, and Ena, as well as the uneasy Yuri and Hikari sisters, Sora knew he couldn't let this continue. He was about to use brute force to break Sun Wukong's spell when the voice of the Cult Leader, Luo Hao, came from the side:
"Husband, let me. I have a way to send you and our sisters out."
Having been completely conquered by Sora and having formed a contract with him, Luo Hao naturally thought wholeheartedly for Sora's sake. If Sora were to use brute force to break the spell, he might accidentally injure his own people.
"Alright!"
A strange light flashed in his eyes. The situation was urgent, so Sora didn't dawdle and agreed immediately.
"Taishang Laojun, grant my plea with the speed of law!"
With a wave of her jade-like hand, several talismans appeared in Luo Hao's hand. Divine power surged as she chanted the spiritual words, simultaneously throwing the talismans out.
ROAR!!!!!
The talismans thrown by the Cult Leader transformed into majestic white tigers. Treading on the void, they bit onto the bodies of Sora and the girls, pulling them out of the stone formed by the spell and racing towards the rapidly closing gap in the air.
"Be careful! We'll wait for you outside!"
Looking down at Luo Hao, who was getting farther and farther away and gradually disappearing into the darkness, Sora shouted loudly.
Seeing Sora and Erica's group being carried out by the white tigers at the last moment, and recalling Sora's worried and concerned expression just now, Luo Hao couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.
How long had it been since she had experienced this? This feeling of being worried about...
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!!!!!
Barely passing through the nearly closed gap, the white tigers had also completed their mission. With a series of explosive sounds, they all reverted back to talismans.
"Ah..."
At this moment, everyone was dozens of meters in the air. As their bodies fell, Erica and the others were fine, but the Yuri and Hikari sisters' faces turned pale with fright.
Letting go of Athena and Metis, Sora flashed to the side of Yuri and Hikari, embracing the two frightened sisters and landing gently on the ground.
"Are you alright, Yuri, Hikari?"
Looking at the two girls in his arms, Sora asked quickly.
"Sora, we're fine, but the Cult Leader..."
Having experienced so many thrilling and exciting scenes with Sora, Yuri quickly recovered. But looking at the towering stone mountain that had sealed Luo Hao, the girl couldn't help but have a worried expression on her face.
"King, let's quickly break open this stone mountain and rescue Sister Cuilian!"
Erica, Liliana, and Ena, who had landed on the ground, also ran over quickly, speaking with a sense of urgency.
This was the first time Erica had called Luo Hao "Sister Cuilian." Although they were supposed to get along with the Cult Leader because of Sora's order, the girls still held a trace of unhappiness in their hearts due to past events.
However, because of the Cult Leader's actions just now, the last trace of unhappiness in the girls' hearts had dissipated, and they had accepted her as a sister from the bottom of their hearts.
"This is no ordinary stone mountain. The powerful divine power left behind by that ancient monkey war god is flowing within it. It's difficult to break from the outside. We can only wait for that woman to find a way out herself."
It was Athena's voice. She appeared beside Sora and the girls in a flash.
Although she still had that queenly coldness and majesty, and she usually had a bad relationship with the Cult Leader, being rivals, right now, Athena's heart had grudgingly acknowledged this woman a little.
Metis also flashed out. Seeing that the Yuri sisters had taken her and Athena's place, occupying the master's embrace, she was immediately unhappy and pounced on Sora, squeezing in with all her might.
The thin-skinned Yuri didn't have the courage to fight with Metis for Sora's embrace. Her face turned red, and she quickly moved aside. The little miko Hikari, on the other hand, was a little dissatisfied and made a face at Metis, baring her teeth.
"Don't worry. Although Sun Wukong's divine powers are formidable, it's still impossible to seal the Cult Leader. She should be able to get out on her own soon."
Sora had great confidence in Luo Hao's abilities. He nodded and comforted the girls.
"I..."
He seemed to want to say something more to the girls, but in the next moment, the figures of Sora holding Metis and Hikari blurred and suddenly disappeared!
The Cult Leader was sealed, and Sora, Metis, and Hikari had suddenly disappeared. All the changes had happened too quickly, leaving the girls unable to react for a moment...
