In a hidden room, the snake girl who hurried back from outside knelt on one knee on the ground to pray.
"Oh? Is there anyone else who has the same plan as us?"
In front of the snake girl, there is a woman wearing luxurious clothes, with her back turned to her, studying the thing in her hand. The leader has white and smooth fur like a white raccoon dog, and is a bit more majestic and beautiful.
After hearing Snake Girl's reward, Face was also slightly surprised, as if he didn't quite believe the other party's failure.
"I don't know. There was a master who was not inferior to me in strength. He stopped me. I thought of your master's instructions and rushed back without getting into trouble with him." The snake girl did not get up or explain more. She just calmly stated why she was doing this.
fail.
"It doesn't matter if the other party comes or not. Anyway, the biggest bargaining chip is not the other party, but we have to make a trip in person. We just happen to get rid of the other party's lone team and solve some troubles for Master Zhuhun."
At this time, Gai Daren finally turned around, his eyes flashing with cold eyes, and even the surrounding temperature dropped a little out of thin air.
"Go and gather our people. This time, in order to suppress my poison, and the war outside, the other party stayed too long. After finding a way to alleviate it, they will definitely not stay there until the other party enters.
After there, there will be no chance again, so this time, I want to end my affairs completely, and when that time comes, we will do the things arranged by the above, do you understand?"
"Master Gai, everything depends on your wishes!" Snake Girl responded loudly without any hesitation.
After finishing speaking, he stood up directly and began to order the people who had been waiting here for a long time to gather together.
Feeling the movement outside, Master Gai showed a smile and looked in front of him, as if looking for the other person's appearance through the endless void.
"Sister, I'm coming to find you! You must be prepared!"
Half a month later, outside this temporary residence.
"Thank you very much. This way we can directly rescue and defect to another city lord. At least relatively speaking, the other city lord is not bad." The gentleman said gratefully to Gu Zheng who wanted to leave.
"I'm going to go anyway, just along the way. I wish you all a safe journey." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
For such a long time, he didn't do anything. After discussing the outside affairs with his husband, he stayed here and watched Hua Xin treat the young man's injuries. In just a few days, he was fine.
Seventy-seven, eighty-eight, the remaining ones will be fine as long as they are carefully nursed back to health. Naturally, they will gain infinite gratitude from the other party.
The husband went to deal with the things the little guy brought. Many of his things were ready, but he was just waiting for the most special medicinal ingredients.
After waiting for the other party to complete the process, Gu Zheng stepped forward to discuss the matter and took over what he wanted from the other party.
Naturally, Mr. and the others had no objection, and were even more overjoyed, because although the war seemed to be over at this time, it was actually still quite chaotic, and it was still relatively unsafe outside. If Pan Xuan had not entrusted them with the matter, they would have left long ago.
As for the reward, Gu Zheng didn't ask. Anyway, they couldn't shirk it. They risked their lives to stay here and refine things for Pan Xuan. The value was definitely not low.
After exchanging a few words, the two of them said goodbye to each other. Gu Zheng left here with Hua Xin and headed towards the place the husband said. However, the husband didn't take much rest and just gave up here and left in another direction to seek refuge.
A city lord who can give him safety.
"What exactly is the other party refining?"
After being on the road for a long time, Hua Xin finally couldn't help but ask. At a glance, she only saw a dark thing, which looked not much different from a fine soul stone.
"I don't know either. You can see for yourself. I just know that only the other party can refine it. After all, it is something that grows by the Soul River. There are no specialized people here who know how to mix it."
Gu Zheng really didn't know, so he simply stretched out his hand and threw the thing that the teacher gave him, letting Hua Xin see it for himself.
When Hua Xin saw a black light being thrown towards her, Hua Xin didn't expect that Gu Zheng would just throw it away, and hurriedly caught it, only then could she see the outside of the thing clearly.
A small round ball, only the size of a thumb. The whole body was pitch black and extremely smooth. It exuded a special aura. When Hua Xin came closer and smelled it, he felt nauseated and even dizzy. He quickly moved away from the ball.
Just a little better.
If you look at it from a distance, this thing is just a soul stone, a good soul stone, nothing more. When it shakes, you can vaguely feel that there is liquid flowing inside.
Hua Xin observed it for a long time. If Gu Zheng hadn't come back in time, he would have cut it open to see what was inside.
Of course Gu Zheng has seen it, but he also has no way of knowing what it can do specifically. But he doesn't have such a strong curiosity. As long as he knows, this thing can reveal his identity and learn about Pan Xuan.
The place they want to go is not very close. As seen from the map, it is already not far from the stone bridge in the middle. At their speed, even if they go with all their strength and sleep, it will take some time. The main reason is that the speed of drawing the heart is too fast.
slow.
So after seven full days, their speed slowed down. At this time, a huge valley appeared in front of them.
The abrupt valley is very conspicuous here, but it is said that it used to be a small mountain range, and after a battle, this valley was left.
Ignoring Hua Xin's complaints and wanting to take a rest, he strode straight up.
According to Mr.'s information, the place where they want to hand over is here. Even if the other party has left, there will be someone guarding here, waiting for news about them.
"I hope the other party is still here."
Gu Zheng was thinking as he approached a huge valley mouth over there.
The entire valley is completely desolate on the outside, and it is also covered with rocks and without any vegetation. It is a typical desolate area.
"Stop, who are you? This is temporarily used as a resting place for us. Please go elsewhere."
Gu Zheng had just approached here when two figures suddenly appeared from a distance, revealing their bodies and showing off their aura. The person on the left spoke.
Both of them were dressed in the same uniform and were watching Gu Zheng warily. As for the painting behind them, they had completely ignored it. After all, the pressure Gu Zheng put on them was too great, so they jumped out early.
It is obvious that the two people are subordinates of the same force, especially since the other two are still at the peak of the Golden Immortal level, they can get a glimpse of the force behind them.
Gu Zheng didn't waste any time, he just threw the token in his hand and deliberately flew towards the opponent slowly in the air, giving the opponent enough time to judge.
The one with quick eyesight and quick hands on the right took it in his hand first, and directly poured his own power into it without hesitation.
The originally blue token became even more dazzling now, more like a crystal clear gem. However, with a "click", the token turned into ice shards all over the sky and shattered in front of Gu Zheng.
When Hua Xin saw this, she shouted in surprise. She unconsciously stepped back and hid behind Gu Zheng. She felt that the token was fake and that the gentleman had tricked them.
Gu Zheng, on the other hand, did not make any move and still stood there quietly, because the other party did not have any killing intent.
"Wait a moment, you two. It's indeed our token. I'll go in and let you know!"
The two guards looked at each other, and their eyes softened a lot when they looked at Gu Zheng. Then the guard who caught the token raised his hand to Gu Zheng, and then ran in quickly towards the back.
"It turns out that this is to test the authenticity of the token. It's really strange. Most people can't think of it." Hua Xin also understood at this time and said enthusiastically.
Gu Zhengcai was too lazy to talk to the other party. If this was the case, he would have no free time.
At this time, inside the valley, the middle part had been completely flattened, and a huge formation was engraved on the ground and was running slowly.
In the middle of the formation, a baby who looked to be about one year old at most was wrapped in something that looked like a wrapping cloth and was lying in the middle.
It's just that the baby kept crying, and his voice was obviously broken because of the prolonged crying. I don't know how long he cried.
If you look closely, the baby's entire body exudes a strange purple color, as if something is wriggling back and forth in the body. The entire body has swelled in size. On the forehead, there is a small dart embedded in it.
, it seems that it has gone deep into the body and cannot be taken out.
"Hey, Mrs. Xue, don't worry. The formation is much more stable now, which can at least greatly alleviate his pain."
At the edge of the formation, Pan Xuan stood up from the ground. After charging the formation, he felt the pain of Mrs. Xue next to him and said comfortingly.
"I know, but seeing him suffer like this makes me feel sad. It's all my fault, otherwise he wouldn't have suffered like this." Mrs. Xue had tears in her eyes and could shed them at any time.
Looking at his own flesh and blood, he kept crying in pain. He was standing by, but there was nothing he could do. Even if it was weakening, it was unbearable for him, but he could only endure it.
"This time the improvement of the formation has come to an end for the time being, and this time I deliberately gave the formation enough energy to last for a long time. I'm going to see what's going on. Normally, it should have been sent here a long time ago. Could it be
What happened outside?" Pan Xuan pondered for a moment before speaking.
She was going to go out before going to get the things she had commissioned from her husband.
Because of the closed nature of this place, she did not go out during this period of time. She concentrated on improving the formation to alleviate the baby's pain, and was unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
And they had already come out before the battle in the Soul Alliance. They originally took a secret detour to go to her brother for help, but they were attacked by Gai Jin. After a fight, the baby was accidentally poisoned by the opponent.
, in a hurry, I just stayed here.
Otherwise, the baby would be unable to bear it and die before reaching the destination.
Fortunately, Pan Xuan knew a little bit about it and used materials carried by the outside world to arrange a formation, thus controlling the situation inside the baby's body.
But he just controlled it, because of the special nature of this poison. After some research and finding that there was no way to eradicate it, he went out to look for the gentleman that Mrs. Xue mentioned.
With the name of Mrs. Xue, it was easy to find the other party. After a simple inquiry, the other party could only say that he would try his best and was very sure that he could get rid of her.
This gave her new hope. After asking the other party to leave her a token and address, she returned and waited for the other party to send her something.
After she came back, she continued to study the formation to see if she could eliminate the abnormality in the baby's body first, and prepare with both hands.
It's just that she has been researching until now, but there has been no progress in this aspect. After all, they are two completely different systems. She is not specialized in studying this aspect. She thought about how so much time had passed and why the other party hadn't come yet, so she came out and asked.
"The weather has changed outside. The people I sent out came back and told me that my husband had left where he was and could no longer be found." Mrs. Xue looked worried and briefly told Pan Xuan the situation outside.
"I didn't expect that so many things would happen during my time in seclusion. Fortunately, I left something with the other party. As long as nothing happens to the other party, I will definitely be able to find the other party. Time is running out, so I will go find them now, turn back to activate the formation, and wait until I come back.
." Pan Xuan's expression changed several times, and then she understood why the other party hadn't come yet. It turned out that something happened outside.
However, given the gentleman's status and his good strength, nothing should happen to him. This time she planned to stay by his side in person and then bring the things back to make sure nothing went wrong.
"It's so troublesome. You have been helping me these days, otherwise I don't know if I could survive." Mrs. Xue looked at Pan Xuan and couldn't help but choked.
She knew very well that it was just a coincidence that she bumped into the other party, and by chance, the other party helped them and fought off the enemy. She invited the other party out of gratitude, and the other party even helped her later.
Many times, if it weren't for her, they wouldn't be able to survive. This kind of kindness cannot be repaid.
Pan Xuan shook her head, just smiled and didn't say much.
If it were her before, maybe she would have left at the first thing at most. After all, Mr. Feng's side was short of manpower and needed her own help, and she didn't know what the other party's arrangements were like.
But under the influence of a certain person, she chose to stay and help the other person without asking for anything in return.
"Mrs. Xue, there is someone outside asking to see you! It's a token left by Miss Pan."
A guard hurriedly walked towards this side from a distance, stopped far away, and shouted to this side.
No one can come in here without Mrs. Xue's permission.
"Yes, finally Fang is here. It seems I don't have to go out to look for them. Your Xiao Qi is saved this time." Pan Xuan said with a happy face when she heard this.
I didn't expect that the other party would come just as I was about to go out. It was really a surprise.
"Invite him quickly, no, I will go see him in person." Mrs. Xue was also overjoyed and said quickly.
He immediately left in a hurry to greet the other party, but after only taking two steps, he swayed and was about to fall to the ground.
She hadn't had a good rest at all these days, and her physical constitution was not even that of an immortal. She was mentally exhausted and extremely weak.
"Mrs. Xue, just wait here and I'll go get it. You have a good rest first, otherwise you will fall down first." Pan Xuan stepped aside, supported the other party's body and sat down beside her, and then said.
"Okay, I'll wait here." Mrs. Xue also felt a little dizzy. She knew that Pan Xuan was right. Even if she needed to rest at this time, she would have to wait until the medicine arrived.
When Pan Xuan saw this, she didn't insist and ran quickly towards the door.
While waiting outside, Gu Zheng also explored the valley, and the result surprised him.
Not to mention that there were more than forty elites hiding inside, most of the entire valley was shrouded in a strange formation, and this formation gave Gu Zheng a familiar feeling, as if he had seen it from somewhere.
Live the same.
While he was still thinking carefully, his mind suddenly moved and he shifted his gaze to the entrance.
Soon a familiar figure suddenly appeared from there, and when he saw Gu Zheng, he also stayed in mid-air in astonishment, meeting his eyes.
Hua Xin looked at Gu Zheng, who had turned into a statue, and the other person who had also turned into a statue. She couldn't help but murmur in her heart, but she was so sensible that she didn't speak.
"So you're fine."
Gu Zheng was the first to break the calm, and his somewhat surprised face returned to calm again.
"What? You have to let me have something to do. Don't say that you came to me specially." Pan Xuan said with a slight smile on his face.
Although the two were separated, she did not forget that in the end Gu Zheng gave up protecting herself in order to protect her. Even so, she believed that nothing would happen to the other party.
Nothing but intuition.
And the other party appeared here, and the token he left before was held in his hand. As for the purpose of the other party coming here, there is no need to think too much. He must be looking for her along the way, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence.
Although there is a long distance between them, they seem to be standing right in front of each other.
"Yes, it would be nice to see you safe. At least you are a friend. I have caused you to live here, so I have to take you back no matter what." Gu Zheng surprisingly did not refute.
"It's good to know." Pan Xuan knew Gu Zheng's temperament. Even if the other party said so, she still felt happy in her heart, but also felt unspeakable melancholy.
"Aren't you here to deliver medicine? Why are you talking here?"
Hua Xin, who didn't understand the relationship between the two, couldn't help but said.
"That's right." Hua Xin reminded Pan Xuan, and when she thought of Gu Zheng's arrival, she also asked.
"Have you got the things from sir?"
Seeing Gu Zheng nod, Pan Xuan immediately waved to them, motioning for them to follow, then turned and flew inside.
"Come with me, we need that thing inside to save people, we can't delay any longer."
Gu Zheng didn't say much and followed Pan Xuan with Hua Xin.
Passing by the tight guard in the middle, I quickly came to the middle place. I could feel the formation running in the middle at a glance, as well as the baby in the formation, and I also understood why the other party was so anxious.
Even with the help of the formation, the baby will die in at most half a year due to the accumulation of toxins in the body.
"Mrs. Xue, the other party is here. You can rest assured this time, Xiao Qi will be fine." Pan Xuan had already come to Mrs. Xue and comforted her.
Gu Zheng also saw that this woman, whom I felt pity for, had a blood connection with the baby of the formation. This was also the first time that Gu Zheng saw that there was a way to continue the bloodline here.
After observing Mrs. Xue carefully, I understood a little bit more about how much sacrifice the other party had made.
Da Luo's original cultivation level in the later period is now inferior to that of a heavenly immortal.
