At this time, under the premeditated counterattack of the Soul Alliance, they were retreating steadily. The weakness in their bodies made it impossible for them to block the opponent's surprise attack.
Mrs. Xue never expected that the bright light she used to cover her escape would actually achieve such results with the help of Gu Zheng. Otherwise, when it was discovered and implemented, she would not be able to bite the opponent tightly, even if she wanted to
It is impossible to escape from the battle.
Even the members of the Soul Alliance were very excited and thought it was a plan here. After all, the big move always takes a longer time to brew, otherwise it would not be able to weaken the entire Demon Soul side.
"withdraw"
"withdraw"
Seeing the current situation and Zhu Hun's absence in command, the other elders briefly discussed and made arrangements immediately, preparing to retreat first.
The opponent's sudden explosion, as well as the unknown danger in the air, let them know that if they didn't retreat, everyone might be damaged here, so naturally they no longer wanted to fight the opponent head-on to death.
As the demon soul's retreat order came down, all the remaining demon soul puppets desperately began to intercept the soul alliance members, and other demon souls fled towards the back.
After only half a cup of tea, all the remaining demon soul puppet lines were broken through, and less than half of the remaining soul alliance members pursued the opponent.
As for the previous elite team, they have been chasing the opponent for a long time. If the opponent dares to turn around, they will be killed in one round, weakening 50% of their strength, leaving them unable to fight back when faced with the elite pursuit of the Soul Alliance.
.
Madam Xue in the distance also breathed a sigh of relief. This time the Soul Alliance was also seriously injured, but at least some foundations were retained. Even if the Shura clan came, they would survive safely.
The original fighting place seemed a bit empty as members of the Soul Alliance were chasing after them. However, in the sky where no one was paying attention at this time, the red clouds had long since disappeared, and now they had turned into a mass of existence like a sea of blood.
The rapidly rotating vortex opened up a red hole in the center, and this hole was still expanding, and the silhouette of the person on the opposite side could be vaguely seen through it.
And Pan Xuan was already standing below, waiting for their arrival. It seemed that his own people no longer needed to fight, and even the mopping up didn't seem to be needed. At this time, the demon soul had escaped without a trace. The only difference was that now the soul alliance
It’s just about how many people you can kill on the other side.
Soon there was an opening in the air for one person to enter and exit. Although the exit was still expanding, a figure had already fallen from above. Like a stiff piece of wood, it fell straight to the bottom, creating a big hole.
, when the next person fell down from above, the first person had climbed out and was standing around vigilantly.
It's a pity that, except for Pan Xuan, the people in the recent Soul Alliance are also far away from here, and there is no desire for him to come out and fight.
"What are you looking at? Come here and guide the remaining people over." Pan Xuan looked at the other party's eyes that kept rolling around, how could she not understand what they were thinking.
Among their tribe, warlikeness is integrated into their flesh and blood, and they want to fight with the enemy every day. Only a few people ignore this, which is also the influence of the sea of blood.
"Where are the enemies? Where are the enemies we promised?"
The second tribesman rushed up from below with great enthusiasm, but in the end there was no enemy at all.
"Where are the enemies? Miss Pan wants you to stand here, hurry up." The first companion said angrily. He also wanted to fight the enemies.
Then he discovered that he had to explain himself to every tribesman who was left behind, so he simply asked the first few to stand in a row and shouted at the tribesmen who came in, telling them not to look for unfounded enemies.
As the hole above became bigger and bigger, more and more tribesmen fell down one after another, and then lined up here. There were some unexpected preparations, but they did not happen due to the accident here.
"Elders, you are finally here. I can finally rest for a while."
When the last boss Jin came down, Pan Xuan immediately went up to him and said.
"Xuanxuan, you have made great achievements this time. You are much better than that kid Xiaofeng." Shui Ling immediately praised her.
"Elder Shui praised me, but I didn't do anything. He was busy along the way. I feel ashamed to say that." Pan Xuan said with a slight smile.
"Where are the enemies? Are there really none left?" Huo Yao looked around and said with some annoyance.
"The other party has just been running for a while. If you run fast, you may be able to escape a lot of fish. But don't step in there yet. There is a strong enemy over there." Pan Xuan pointed at the demon soul and ran away.
said in the direction.
"Haha, if that's the case, what are you waiting for? Let them see how good we are." Mu Xuan said fearfully from the side.
"Go, take them all with you, and remember, don't hurt the people in the Soul Alliance. This is what we agreed with him." Boss Jin saw their eager expressions and did not stop him.
, agreed directly.
They immediately shouted excitedly and led the tribesmen directly to chase each other.
Pan Xuan looked at the murderous look over there and hoped that the demon soul would run away, otherwise they would suffer.
"These two are the Shura elders, meeting them for the first time."
At this time, Gu Zheng also fell down from above and came here to talk to them.
After they arrived, the strange phenomena in the sky gradually dissipated. This time the summons was a complete success. Gu Zheng could feel that his five rings had returned to normal.
"This should be Gu Zheng, fellow Taoist Gu. Your name is very famous in our Shura clan, and many people admire you." Shui Ling said with a chuckle from the side.
"Just kidding, that was your carelessness at the time, it was just a fluke." Gu Zheng said modestly. Although the matter has passed, he did not necessarily hold on to the other party's wounds.
"Come to think of it, I actually admire you. If it were me, I wouldn't be sure how you would do it in that situation." Boss Jin also praised you in the same way.
"Haha, by the way, I have something to give you. I don't know if it is convenient." Gu Zheng laughed twice, did not continue, and moved to the hanging ladder.
"Oh? What is it? Very convenient." Boss Jin said directly.
"It's best to bring this thing to your ancestors now." Gu Zheng took out the blood-colored crystal and said to them.
"This is?" Boss Jin couldn't see this thing at all, but when he turned around, he found that Pan Xuan's expression was excited and he couldn't help but be confused, "Xuanxuan, do you know this thing?"
"I don't know, but I know it's extremely important. Elder Jin, I know you have a way to summon the ancestor, so why don't you ask the ancestor to come over." Pan Xuan suppressed her inexplicable excitement and said directly.
"It's that serious. This is no place. Come with me." Elder Jin didn't expect to invite the ancestor, but he didn't object and immediately took them flying towards the distance while saying.
"I only made the ancestor's shadow appear once. It was originally an emergency measure for the ancestor to prevent the other party from taking action. I really hope that this thing is worthy of the ancestor's appearance. You must know that the ancestor cannot come over now. It is the last resort for us to deal with that guy.
, it will be difficult to handle next.”
"It's definitely worth it. I still have someone to save my life." Pan Xuan said with certainty.
"I think it's worth it too." Gu Zheng added on the side. If he thought correctly, this was an opportunity for the Shura clan, and he didn't know why it had to pass through his hands.
They quickly moved away from here, and after setting up a layer of cover around them, Boss Jin activated what his ancestor gave him.
"Jin Ying, what's going on? You need to find me so soon."
As a bloody light exploded, a majestic-looking middle-aged man appeared in the air. No one could have imagined that this was the famous Styx Ancestor. At this time, he appeared in the air unremarkably, with only half of his upper body exposed.
After scanning around, he said in a deep voice.
"Ancestor, this Gu Zheng has something to give you, and Miss Pan Xuan also agreed to let Ancestor take a look." Jin Ying immediately explained.
If he summoned the ancestor without a valid reason, he might be dissatisfied that he did not die quickly enough.
"Ancestor, Empress Houtu gave this to me. I don't know what it is, so I might as well give it to my ancestor." Gu Zheng took out the thing again and said as if he didn't know.
The ancestor was a little curious after taking such a simple look. After all, it was obviously not a simple thing to give to him. At this sight, the entire phantom began to shake, which made Gu Zheng think that the other party would not disappear in excitement.
"This thing is very precious. Do you know what it represents?" The ancestor soon calmed down and looked at Gu Zheng and said.
"I don't know, but I know it's useful to me. Even though the Shura clan and I have been enemies for a long time, we haven't known each other since we were enemies. It's just a gift to a friend." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"This gift is worth a lot of money. Even if I want to refuse, I can't refuse it." The ancestor glanced at Gu Zheng, then stretched out his hand and looked towards Gu Zheng, "In that case, I'm not polite.
Yes, but naturally I will not let my friend suffer. This kindness will always be remembered by our Shura clan, and you will always be our friend of the Shura clan. At any time, you have the authority of our elders. I will give instructions on this.
"
"Ancestor!" Jin Ying did not expect that the ancestor would actually promise this to the other party. In theory, he and he were on the same status, and he could not question the other party. If there was a dispute, he would seem to be a head lower than the other party.
"Unless you do something that brings great shame and loss to our clan, it will always be effective." The ancestor glanced at Jin Ying, who immediately retracted his words.
"Pan Xuan, go back and give him the Origin Pearl. This is also my intention."
After saying that, the ancestor's shadow disappeared from the sky and disappeared.
At the same time, Ancestor Styx, who was in the depths of the blood sea, looked at the beads in his hands and finally walked out of the depths of the blood sea. He stood firmly on the surface of the blood sea and looked at the boundless sea of blood with a hint of unbearability in his eyes.
.
"If heaven does not allow me to be an asura, then I will merge with heaven."
"The Shura clan is willing to guard the path of reincarnation. When the Dao rises in the Shura clan, the Dao will perish and the Shura clan will perish. From now on, I, Styx, swear by the sea of blood, withdraw from the primitive world, and use the Black Prison as the foundation to guard the path of reincarnation!"
Every word spoken by Styx was like the sound of a huge bell. Although it was not as clear as Hou Tu's to all creatures in the prehistoric world, his oath could still be heard within a range of tens of millions, ringing in waves.
After finishing speaking, countless golden lights lit up in the hands of Patriarch Styx, and a mysterious inscription emerged from it. He raised his hand and swallowed it directly.
The next moment, Ancestor Styx's body exploded into millions of blood beads, melting into the sea of blood below.
"Asura Path Returns!"
"The way of heaven returns!"
"The six paths of reincarnation return!"
In the underworld, the moment Patriarch Minghe swallowed it, Hou Tu's voice sounded again between heaven and earth. In the underworld, the last trace of Hou Tu disappeared from the world.
At this moment, he had just summoned his power, but he had no choice but to let those people disperse. With unwillingness on their faces, they all looked in the direction of the sea of blood. Everyone was thinking in their hearts.
"How could it be him? Damn lucky guy."
"Brother, if Houtu is gone, she has really abandoned us."
On the other side, the two people who were still rushing suddenly stopped, and the red-haired man said sadly.
"We will definitely win without him, so prepare to fight to the death with the opponent."
The eldest brother said in a gloomy voice, and a tear in the corner of his eye also disappeared into the air as he accelerated, as if it had never appeared.
"We've still come this far."
Gu Zheng listened to the sounds in the air. This time there was no flashy scene, but he knew that Hou Tu had completely become the Six Paths at this time. As for the Shura clan, they had also become their guardians, but their foundation was still not there.
Beat it down.
"Let's go back. It's time for a showdown with the Soul Alliance. Although it's a little early, the final battle is about to begin. Can you still gather some clansmen earlier?"
Gu Zheng looked at the two people who were also silent and said.
"Yes, but we still need some preparation." Pan Xuan was not surprised because of Gu Zheng's identity, but she suddenly didn't understand the ancestor's decision, but she knew that the ancestor's decision was for the Shura clan, but she didn't know what was ahead of her.
What path was there to make the ancestor make such a decision?
"In that case, let's go back first. After solving this matter, I still need to leave."
Gu Zheng did not expect such a change in the development of things, even he did not expect it, but overall it was still moving in the expected direction. After the Soul Alliance matter was resolved, it was time for the final decisive battle with that person.
"Gu Zheng, Pan Xuan, look who we found."
Gu Zheng and the others had just returned, and Mrs. Xue over there said excitedly.
"It can't be Luo Gong." Gu Zheng said casually.
"You can guess this. Yes, the other party was undoubtedly found by our people. It just happened to be that one of our wounded was resting and happened to see something suspicious in the seam in the ground. The other party has been hiding under us, but this
There is no way to escape once." Mrs. Xue said quickly. After she finished speaking, she saw the golden shadow beside her and spoke quickly.
"This must be the elder of the Shura clan."
"Mrs. Xue, right? I know you. We are here thanks to your help." Jin Ying said very kindly at this time.
Mrs. Xue is theirs, so there is no need to put on airs. She will still need her to manage the soul alliance in the future.
Although he has a bad temper, he still knows the basics of employing people.
"This is what I should do. Let's go see the traitor Luo Gong first." Mrs. Xue did not dare to be proud and said again.
They continued to walk inside. There was a circle that was tightly surrounded, and some obscene words were heard inside. Luo Gong, who seemed to be dead inside, stayed in his own shield with a pale face, and could only let these normal things go.
The members of the Soul Alliance who treated me with respect were insulting me.
Although he already knew his ending, he was still unwilling to give in. He wanted to struggle, but he felt that he was just humiliating himself, so he struggled for a while.
Gu Zheng and the others did not go in. They saw each other from a distance outside. The outer shield was very fragile, and their own cultivation was still sealed. They were not a threat to anyone. They simply waited for others to come back and deal with it.
He is just used to appease the rest of the Soul Alliance.
Three days passed, and Pan Xuan and Elder Jin Ying also went out, keeping the returning Shura side temporarily in the distance, and letting Gu Zheng and Mrs. Xue test it here first.
Although Shura is not afraid of the Soul Alliance at all, these masters can completely defeat the current members of the Soul Alliance. After all, the difference in strength between the two is greater. Even if the other party is not willing, this side will just spend more energy if they really want to deal with them.
Now they are starting to use the materials they brought to build a real stable transmission device, so that all the people of the Shura clan can come here without any rush.
The more people who come over, the more confident they will be to deal with the opponent at the minimum cost.
"This time we really won a great victory. The number of demon souls that escaped was less than one-third of what we came here. It was really satisfying. The opponent was injured this time, so we felt much more relaxed."
After everyone returned, they arranged for their subordinates to rest and quickly set up a temporary tent. Except for one who was seriously injured and unable to participate, all the city lords were already inside, and of course there were two more special guests.
A Luo Gong was trapped in the ball, and a half-dead City Lord Fan was bound in the middle.
City Lord Liu laughed and said to everyone, his mood seemed extremely happy.
Not only him, but other people were also very happy. They followed and chased all the way and killed four demon soul elders again. It was a pity that those traitors from the Soul Alliance ran faster than anyone else. One of them
None were caught.
"Yeah, I really didn't expect it. In fact, it was all thanks to our friends in Gu Zheng, otherwise the final failure was inevitable."
They seemed to have selectively forgotten about Hou Tu, and they didn't even mention it in the conversation just now, which made Gu Zheng even more certain that these people were somewhat damaged.
"This is what I should do." Gu Zheng said with a smile, and then changed the subject, "But I think it is too early for everyone to be happy. This time, my magic weapon is completely gone, and after the other party is on guard, plus
Without new people coming, how can we survive the next time?"
When Gu Zheng said this, the smiles on everyone's faces froze. After all, Gu Zheng was telling the truth.
Leiyin City has been completely destroyed. After this fighting, the entire Soul Alliance is less than half of what it was before. It seems to have won, but it is only a little better than a tragic victory. Every city lord has suffered a lot, and even the city lord has suffered a lot.
Fall.
Even if you accept the traitor's legacy, you can't make up for the lost power, especially at the master level.
"Do you have any good ideas for Gu Zheng?" Seeing what Gu Zheng said, City Lord Liu asked.
"I have a permanent solution to the other party, and I promise that it will do no harm to you, but you may not be able to accept it."
Seeing the other party asking, Gu Zheng finally spoke.
"Let me tell you what it is specifically. I know you are doing it for my own good, and everything is now with your help. Otherwise, how can I celebrate here?"
Gu Zheng looked at the eyes around him and then slowly spoke.
