After Gu Zheng came out of the ghost forest, he found that the cave in the distance was in a panic. The previous cover was now gone, and he could easily discover everything inside.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Zheng hid his figure and walked inside.
At this time, many people inside were taking things in an orderly manner under the leadership of a group of people, but they were only those with some cultivation.
As for the ordinary people, no one asked them at all, so they were naturally confused and at a loss.
Following his familiar aura, Gu Zheng walked all the way to the innermost depths, where he found an independent cave where Ren Xue's aura really resided.
As soon as Gu Zheng walked in, he saw Yin Cheng who was kneeling on the ground, and Master Yan who was still dead. Next to him were the two people who had come to arrest Li Le, who were also lying on the ground helplessly.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng immediately revealed his figure.
"Master!"
Xiaoying who was on the side saw Gu Zheng and ran over immediately. If Gu Zheng hadn't sent her a message before, she wouldn't have believed this woman.
"What's going on here?" Gu Zheng didn't ask the dead person. He saw that it was Ren Xue who killed him, while Li Le was still talking to Yincheng.
"It's a long story. I didn't expect to see Mr. Gu here again. What a fate." Ren Xueying smiled and walked towards this side and said.
Now that Gu Zheng is back, that person is definitely dead, needless to say.
But I was still secretly surprised. I didn't expect that the powerful Elder Ma would die in his hands in such a short period of time. Gu Zheng's strength was too terrifying now.
"Haha, I didn't think about it either, but why are you here and what are you doing here?" Gu Zheng looked around, but there was nothing that could indicate that he was here.
"This is a mining town. After I was thrown out of there, I got an invitation from them. I didn't originally plan to join them, but because of certain things, I had to join them." Ren Xue hesitated for a moment, but still had to decide what to do.
said.
"Elder Ren, we have all gathered, what should we do with those mortals?" At this moment, a voice came from outside and asked loudly.
"Right now, Elder Ma is still outside resisting the enemy, delaying time for us. We can't live up to his desperate efforts. We should set out to retreat immediately. You go first. I'll see if I can take Elder Ma with me." Ren Xue said the same.
He ordered loudly.
"As for those mortals, tell them to stay here quietly and wait until they return to the mining city in one day. If anyone takes advantage of the chaos and has any thoughts, kill them.
"yes!"
The people outside responded solemnly, and then hurried out.
"What's the situation? Even if I'm here, I can't make you all retreat." Gu Zheng said jokingly. I don't know why the other party wanted to kill that person and evacuated so solemnly, as if some danger was coming.
"I am now in a somewhat evil sect, and I am helping them plot to resurrect their master. Of course, I am just a guest minister. Although I can't touch the core, it seems to be some kind of demon."
Ren Xue watched Li Lei step forward, flashing Yincheng's cheeks with slaps, and with a few slaps, he turned into a pig's head, and continued.
"A few days ago, a person from the same sect, probably the same as our target, wearing purple robes, passed by here and told us that their mission failed and the enemy seemed to have recovered. They kindly told us to let us leave. They were still in high spirits before.
We were invited to deal with a monster with an ancient phoenix, but we didn't expect to return in such a mess."
Ren Xue's expression was a bit gloating, and she was obviously very happy to see them fail.
"Is he a person with black robe and purple hat, whose strength is in the late Daluo period?" Gu Zheng said subconsciously after hearing what she said.
"You know this too? You haven't even seen it." Now it was Ren Xue's turn to be shocked.
"Of course they didn't know. The place they went to happened to be where I was, and I killed three of the four people." Gu Zheng said truthfully, and then asked.
"Don't you know exactly what they are trying to resurrect?"
Zhu Niao didn't tell him, but he didn't expect it to exist here, and it seemed to be divided into two places.
"I don't know. After all, I haven't penetrated the opponent's core, so I don't know at all." After saying this, Ren Xue then sent a message to Gu Zheng.
"No wonder the other party escaped in embarrassment. It's really amazing. Now my master is trapped inside by the other party and is also being used as nourishment. Therefore, Elder Ma, who knows a little bit of the truth, must die. Just take advantage of this opportunity. If the other party dies, there will be no consequences.
No doubt, thank you."
"That's it. Do you want me to help? What about Li Le? Why did you take her away?" Gu Zheng nodded and sent the same message.
"No, the master's situation is special and he cannot use force completely. Li Le's skills are very similar to mine, even her body is the same. I suspect that she is another disciple of my master. I want to take her away to have a look.
, just like with her help, the chance of my master being rescued is greater." Ren Xue explained.
Even if she was willing to do anything evil, even if she sacrificed more people to save her master, she would not frown at all. This was her way of dealing with things.
"What are you talking about? I've got it done here. It's really nice." Li Le walked over with a smile on his face, as if what happened just now had been forgotten.
"It's okay. I need to leave here now. If you want to slap me later, you're welcome. Just hit me seriously and seriously hurt me. And if you meet the person you mentioned, just come with me."
Ren Xue spoke to Gu Zheng in the front, and to Ren Xue in the back.
"Go, of course I will go. I owed her something before, and some things must be said in person." Li Le agreed without hesitation.
"That's the best." Ren Xue turned around and looked at Gu Zheng, and at the same time put a pill in her mouth, the meaning was too clear.
Gu Zheng took a deep breath, raised his palm and lightly hit her above the heart.
"puff"
It seemed to have no power, but at the moment of contact, Ren Xue's face suddenly turned pale, and she fell unconscious and fell to the ground without even having a chance to take the pill in her mouth.
"Just do the whole thing for a show. Li Le, please take her out of here. Don't worry, the other party looks very serious and won't die. But you need to get more rest. Only in this way will it be more real." Gu Zheng looked at Li Le and said
Ren Xue picked her up and said to her.
"Gu Zheng, please take care of yourself. I need to go see my disciple. Maybe this person who is more powerful than me is my disciple." Li Le nodded. She seemed to understand something and said to Gu Zheng.
.
"If you need my help, please crush this. As long as you don't throw it away, I can find it no matter how far away it is." Gu Zheng handed over a golden crystal core, which was also a guarantee from the other party that he could not let the other party get under his nose.
Die, and besides, he saved his own life before.
Because the words Xiaoying said flashed through his mind, even if Gu Zheng felt that he could not arrive in time this time, Ren Xue would not be able to let the other party kill Li Le. In that case, the danger may lie in the future, and of course there is no best option.
but.
"Okay, goodbye." Li Le accepted it cheerfully, and disappeared from the cave as soon as he finished speaking.
"Let's go too." Gu Zheng felt the other person's breath and quickly moved away from here, and said to Xiaoying who was staying aside.
The next moment, their figures disappeared into the cave.
As they left, the whole room fell silent. After an unknown amount of time, a cough sounded from the air.
Yincheng, who had a pig-headed look on his face, got up with a look of resentment and looked at the deserted place, which was the place where Li Le finally left.
"I will report these things about you and make you die."
A cold voice came out of his mouth, and anyone could hear his resentment.
After taking a short rest, dragging his badly injured body, he walked outside.
"boom"
Yincheng walked straight towards the exit, but there was an invisible sign at the only door. Unknown to him, he bumped into it and was knocked to the ground again.
"what happened!"
Yincheng quickly got up and moved towards the front. A transparent barrier blocked the exit, blocking his way. He hurriedly raised his fist and punched towards the front, and even found a larger piece on the ground.
Stone.
But no matter what, this barrier stood firmly in front of him, not even a ripple appeared.
"Help me, come and save me."
At this moment, a small human team outside came from the distance. Yincheng was overjoyed and quickly called for help.
But when he looked at the other side, he seemed to have not heard his words clearly at all, and was walking towards him on his own.
"The people here have been locked up. It seems that the immortals have left. Let's go. Everyone has gathered and no one is left alone."
They came to Yincheng, took a look, and one of them said.
"In that case, let's leave. Don't ask them to leave." The leader nodded, and then hurriedly led them out of here.
"Don't go, I'm here, save me, I am Yincheng, Mr. Yin, do you want to live?"
Seeing the people in front of them leaving just like that, Yin Cheng yelled inside and beat him in front of him crazily. Even though blood was coming out of his hands, those people couldn't see Yin Cheng or hear him at all.
Left here soon.
"Damn."
Yincheng lay slumped on the ground against the barrier and said feebly, while looking at this small room, which was all made of thick rocks. With his strength, there was no way he could dig out and escape.
Yincheng became desperate, not because the other party let him go, but after he knew their secret, he actually wanted to starve himself to death. It was too cruel.
"My journey to becoming an immortal has not yet begun, is it about to end?"
No matter how unwilling he is, there is only death waiting for him.
After all, he is no different from a normal person at this time, and he also needs grain to satisfy his hunger.
...
What happened to Yincheng, Gu Zheng naturally knew that the defense was even put down by Li Le. He saw it, but he did not interfere. The other party's death-seeking behavior was doomed to his end. If he hadn't caught Li Le,
Happy, maybe you can save a small life.
After they left, they hurried all the way towards Aurora City.
After going around in a big circle, I finally came back again.
Of course, Gu Zheng was a little cautious, because at this time he could no longer contact Zi Yi, and he didn't know where the other party had gone during the hundreds of years he had stayed in the Longfeng Ruins.
Otherwise, Gu Zheng would go directly to Ziyi first, because he wanted to see if he could meet some Shura people there to inquire about Pan Xuan's existence.
After several months of traveling, Gu Zheng and the others finally came here again, dressed up in disguise, and followed the flow of people into Aurora City.
Even though we have been here for hundreds of years, the place here has not changed much. There are some new houses, some places seem to have changed, and the flow of people seems to have increased.
Gu Zheng walked around aimlessly, then left the city again and stayed away from here.
At this time, there was not a single Shura person in the entire city, and there was no trace of even Kun Yu and the others that they had met before. It seemed as if everything here had been abandoned.
"Sir, where are we going next?" In the open field, Xiaoying, who had recovered her body, walked around, saw Gu Zheng standing there, and leaned over and said.
"We have been traveling for such a long time, so let's take a few days' rest. We are going to visit several other cities. Originally, weren't we just searching bit by bit?"
Xiaoying's words woke Gu Zheng up. Looking at Xiaoying who looked a little tired from the journey, she said.
"Okay, are we right here? It's pretty good." Xiaoying pointed to the side and said, there is a piece of grass over there, which is much better than this ground full of loess.
"Of course not. Have you forgotten the place Leng Xin took us to last time? Let's go there to see if we can see them. Even if they leave, it's a good place to rest there." Gu Zheng said with a chuckle.
Even if you run farther, it's still more comfortable than running in the wilderness.
"Yes, I almost forgot, let's go!" Xiaoying said excitedly after hearing this. She really liked that place.
The two people flew towards the distance again, until they saw the familiar mountain peak in the distance, their speed slowly slowed down and stopped outside the mountain peak.
"Follow me."
Gu Zheng casually ordered Xiaoying, and then walked in first.
Xiaoying's figure immediately landed, followed behind Gu Zheng, and disappeared into the mountain together.
Just like those who came in before, even a finger-thick layer of floating dust has fallen in the cave outside. Apparently no one has been here for a long time, and the air also has a slight dull feeling.
Walking in the passage, feeling the movement behind him, Gu Zheng looked back and found that Xiaoying raised her little hand and smiled at him. He also stretched out his palm and pulled the other person directly, as if she was carrying a kite.
Continue walking towards the inside.
Soon they reached the end of the passage, and when they walked out, Gu Zheng subconsciously closed his eyes. He had not forgotten the glare from the last time. Although there was no harm at all, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
But as soon as he went out and opened his eyes again, Gu Zheng's expression changed slightly, because there was no valley in front of him at this time, and there was a faint white mist floating in the air. It was so light that it hardly affected any vision.
"Sir, have they renovated this place? It seems to be more hidden." But Xiaoying still asked innocently, while looking around with interest.
Because below, there is still a familiar lake and a few familiar houses, and it seems that the surrounding environment has not changed much.
However, Gu Zhengque has noticed that the west side was also a cliff, but now there is no obstacle and it has become a passage filled with thick fog.
Moreover, there was also a thick fog covering the top of the head, making it impossible to sense the outside.
"Don't be stupid, be careful. We have entered a trap set by others. It seems like this is an illusion array or something." Gu Zheng saw that Xiaoying had not yet reacted, and said helplessly as he woke up.
"Oh oh oh, I asked why I didn't see a few of them. It turns out that this is the case. Doesn't it mean there are enemies outside now?" Xiaoying only reacted after hearing various comments, and her eyes immediately became alert.
"Of course, as long as you think it's okay, maybe the other party heard what you said and is still laughing at you. If you come down with me, you won't be able to get out if you stand where you are."
Gu Zheng glanced at the wall behind him. It was also covered with a layer of dense fog. When he touched it a little, it felt illusory and he couldn't go back the same way.
The place the other party set up is really clever, especially after people have been here a few times, they don't take any precautions at all.
As Gu Zheng and the others walked down, a medium-sized stone tablet stood on the road they must pass. It exuded a hazy white light, and everyone would be attracted by the other's eyes.
"Returning to the Ruins Fantasy Array"
Four powerful characters are engraved on it.
"The owner of this formation is very arrogant. He even revealed his name. He was really afraid that the other party wouldn't know about it." Gu Zheng snorted coldly, and a soaring aura suddenly emanated from his body.
Under this momentum, the surrounding light fog disappeared one after another like clouds. Even the thick fog below was forced to create a passage, but the thick fog in the sky did not change at all. It continued from inside.
From the black light coming out, it can be seen that people outside are suppressing this place.
"Gu Zheng, I didn't expect that we would meet again. Just when we were about to leave here, we could still meet. What a fate."
Suddenly a voice sounded in the air that was completely unfamiliar to Gu Zheng, but the other person seemed to know him.
"Have we met? But I don't have the slightest impression of you." Gu Zheng protected Xiaoying behind him and then said.
"Of course not. This is actually the first time I've seen you here, but I've seen you before. He's really embarrassed that you've been destroying Mr. Wen's plans one after another." The voice continued to ring in the air.
.
"Are you from Wen Tianhou? The other party is really not dead." When Gu Zheng heard this, he was startled in his heart. Thinking of the way he ran away in the end, he never expected that he would meet his person here.
"How could I die? I am a person who wants to do great things and become a saint in the future."
"That's a good lie. I don't know why I ran away after a big defeat last time and wanted to snatch the remaining soul of the black dragon." Gu Zheng thought of Shanlong who was recuperating on his body. Unfortunately, he was now in a coma. He didn't know.
How can I restore it again.
"If our Lord's true form could come out, you scum could crush him to death with one hand. Unfortunately, hum, no more nonsense. I have other things to do, so just stay here, so as not to disturb our plan.
.”
The voice said disdainfully, suddenly remembering something, and just said this sentence.
"You coward, don't leave if you can. Wait until I come out and see how I can deal with you." Gu Zheng raised his head and shouted into the air, while observing the scene carefully.
But the other party didn't respond, just like the other party said he had left here.
"Sir, look over there, there is a new situation." At this time, Xiaoying pointed to the front and said.
