After Ren Xue finished speaking, there was still no movement in front of her. She also maintained her last action, keeping her head down and motionless.
“Get up.”
A slightly aged voice sounded, and Ren Xue raised her head and looked forward,
On the originally huge ancient tree, two huge eyes and mouths grew out of the trunk. The words just now came from the other party's mouth.
“Who did you meet when you went out this time?” the ancient tree wolf said casually.
"It's not that I went to see the other party, but when I was giving things to the villagers, I met two strangers, a man and a woman. I have warned them that they will leave soon." Ren Xue lowered her eyebrows and looked down on her.
said.
"Leave? I hope the other party will do this. If I find out that the other party has found this place, a greater punishment will befall you." Timber Wolf said disdainfully, and at the same time, a branch the size of an arm emerged from his body, and he carefully removed it from any
The snow rushed away.
"snort"
Under the spray of blood, a blood hole suddenly exploded on Ren Xue's back and chest, and the golden light hidden inside was instantly destroyed. The huge pain made Ren Xue cautiously groan, dripping with cold sweat, but he resisted with all his might.
Don't let yourself moan in pain.
Timberwolf will not show mercy, and directly uses the most violent means to eliminate the imprint buried in the ancient dispute.
"This time I am here to ask you to prepare the final sacrifice. Seven days later, it will be the time when the moon is waning. At that time, it will be the last opportunity for the sacrifice ceremony. Now you go down and help Mu Tian, and you must not make any mistakes.
Otherwise, there will be consequences at your own risk!" Timber Wolf withdrew his branch and arranged it below.
"My subordinates will definitely arrange everything properly, please rest assured, Sir Timber Wolf." Ren Xue accepted the order directly, then turned around and retreated back. The wound behind her was still bleeding with blood, staining her back red.
It wasn't until she left this place that Ren Xue showed a trace of pain on her calm face. She briefly treated the injury on her back and walked towards her room.
"Seven days? It should still be too late. No matter what, I have to try it. I will not give up on you, master, and my master."
In her luxurious room, Ren Xue sat in her usual resting place, staring at her palms and murmuring.
In the palm of her hand, black streams were slowly flowing like blood, and then they disappeared faintly.
…
"Well"
Looking for Gu Zheng outside, he suddenly stopped and covered his mouth. A stream of blood flowed out from the gap.
“What’s wrong, Gu Zheng?” Meng Zhen saw it from the side and asked worriedly.
“It’s okay, the mark I left on the other party was destroyed, it’s just a bit of a backlash.” Gu Zheng said, wiping the blood from his mouth.
"Did the other party disappear here? We searched for a long time and couldn't find anything suspicious. Even these trees look a little sick and sick, which is really uncomfortable." Seeing that Gu Zheng is indeed not a serious problem.
, Meng Zhen said with some complaints.
“I think we should find each other’s place, come with me.” Gu Zheng said to Mengzhen.
That mark had a ray of his own consciousness on it, otherwise he wouldn't have received such a huge backlash. At the moment he was destroyed by the other party, he also learned the approximate location of the other party, which was not far away from them.
“Are you sure you’re here?”
Mengzhen followed Gu Zheng for a while and then stopped in front of a mountain peak. Watching him groping in front of him, Mengzhen couldn't help but ask.
“It should be behind this mountain, maybe we should go around it.”
Gu Zheng raised his head and looked at this small mountain range, which only stood across this small area. However, he did not dare to climb over like this. He vaguely sensed that the opponent's territory was behind him. With such an upright past, he really was not afraid of the opponent.
Be aware of your own existence.
“Hiding here, I don’t know what the other party thinks, it’s too easy to be discovered.” Meng Zhen also felt that there was a special aura inside, but was still a little surprised.
Although this place is hidden, if you really know that the other person is in this area, it will be easy to find it.
"How did I know? Follow me." Gu Zheng started to move towards the left, signaling Mengzhen behind to follow him.
The outside of this mountain range was arc-shaped, bulging in the direction they came from. However, the further they advanced, a faint white mist had risen around them, and it became thicker and thicker. Later, Gu Zheng and even Meng Zhen's cheeks could not even see it.
He couldn't even see it, so he stopped.
"Is this their outer formation? I didn't feel any murderous intent, but it was extremely secretive. The mark on the opponent's body should be gone by this point." Gu Zheng felt the surroundings and followed carefully.
“Then what do we do next?”
Mengzhen looked around. Except for the mountains in front of her, everything else was enveloped in white mist. She couldn't see through it at all. She knew that if she kept relying on the mountains to keep walking, she would never reach the end.
, because they were already in the formation, and this mountain range was deliberately left as a loophole for them.
“The people who set up the formation have good skills, but unfortunately their strength is a bit low.”
Gu Zheng's words made Mengzhen nod. This place is also a bit clever. It is not difficult for people above Daluo to pass. She has several plans in mind to get out or in. The key is which method can be used to sneak in quietly.
Getting in is actually a bit difficult.
“It just so happened that Pan Xuan gave me a treasure before leaving. It’s enough to use it a little bit. Follow me closely.”
As Gu Zheng spoke, a dim red light emitted from his body, shrouding both him and Mengzhen.
Meng Zhen was surprised to find that through the layer of hazy red light, all the surrounding white fog had disappeared. Only then did he realize that they had only walked a few hundred meters after walking for so long.
“It’s really easy to use. It integrates itself perfectly into the formation, so no one can find any abnormalities.”
Gu Zheng felt the difference next to him and praised it. With just this effect, this thing can be regarded as a rare treasure, not to mention that it is only a small function of the other party.
Produced by the ancestors, it must be a high-quality product, and it has been labeled by ancient disputes.
They walked along for only half an hour, and they had already arrived at the gap in the mountain range. Looking inside, they saw a large small valley, exactly the same as the outside, as if it were a shrunken mountain range. At the exit
There are two identical crescent notches.
Large valleys are surrounded by small valleys, which are definitely built by man.
“So that’s how it is, using the intersection to gather spiritual veins? No wonder the spiritual energy here seems to be extremely scarce, it turns out that it was all forcibly plundered here.”
Looking at the terrain inside, Gu carefully followed.
And there is an answer over there. If the spiritual energy over there decreases, naturally everything will slowly decline, and naturally the surrounding people will follow it carefully. And the liquids Ren Xue gave to the other party can greatly reduce the burden on the other party's body. No wonder
Those people were in such happy spirits.
“What do we do next?”
The two people were hiding behind a boulder. This place was out of the range of the white mist and they no longer had to rely on the red light. However, there were several guards in black guarding the only entrance. Obviously, it was not easy to walk in under the other's eyes.
easy.
Gu Zheng looked around, thinking of some ways in his mind, but he rejected them one by one. There was a wide enough distance in the middle without any obstruction, and in front of the opponent's entrance, there was this extremely hidden formation.
The other party's cultivation level is also at the peak of the Golden Immortal. Even if they want to break through the formation without attracting the other party's attention, they can't.
This time, defensive formations have been opened around the valley, preventing them from sneaking in from other places.
“Someone is approaching from outside and will probably be here soon.” Meng Zhen suddenly said.
“It’s a bit difficult now. Let’s wait and see if we can find a chance to go in.”
Gu Zheng looked at the heavily defended valley and had no choice but to go back and think of a solution for the time being. The entrance was only less than ten feet away. In order to avoid alerting the snake, he still did not squat here.
The two people exited the entrance, then found a hidden place not far away to stay, and then opened the surveillance circle left there, so that they could see the entrance.
Soon, a dozen men in black robes carried some wooden boxes from outside and walked in. Not long after, some people came out again. After leaving a certain area here, they rose into the sky and went somewhere unknown.
For three days in a row, Gu Zheng and the others watched each other coming in and out, as if they were busy with something.
"We have to find a way to get in. The other party seems to be doing something." The man who kept coming and going in Guzheng said with a serious expression.
Reminiscent of what Ren Xue said before that she would never come again, something obviously happened inside.
"I think we might as well go in. Anyway, with your strength, you can kill even Wen Tianhou. No matter how bad you are, you can still compete with Da Luo at the peak. Why be afraid of them? I'm sure the opponent must not have a quasi-sage, or even Da Luo."
I don’t even have peak strength, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to hide it in this remote place.” Meng Zhen suggested from the side.
"What you said is true, but things are not that simple." After listening to Mengzhen's suggestion, Gu Zheng explained with some laughter and laughter. The other party's thinking was still used to the following way of doing things. It was so violent and simple, but he was really that strong.
Ah, if that's the case, we might as well think of a solution here and just call the door.
“This is very simple. After three days of observation, I discovered the opponent’s fatal weakness.”
At this moment, Mobi suddenly jumped out from the side and said.
“Oh? What do you think you can do?” Mengzhen turned to look at the brush next to him and asked curiously.
“We just want to go in without disturbing anyone, right?” The brush swayed in the sky, his tone was full of pride, and he seemed to be confident.
"Naturally, as long as we go in first and figure out the situation, it would be better if we find Ren Xue. Only in this way can we prepare for what happens inside. Don't think that the other party will let us take him away easily." Gu Zheng said with certainty.
“That way it’s not too difficult, I’ve already taken you in.” Mobi said confidently.
“Tell me where it is? You shook me so hard that I felt dizzy.”
Meng Zhen quickly grabbed the brush with a light hand. It had been so long, and he was still showing off, which made her very dissatisfied.
"Follow me in a moment. I'll explain briefly. It took me three days to see through the flaws in the opponent's outer formation. I can gain three breaths of time. As long as you take me across, it will be fine." Mao Bi's body shone brightly.
It flashed and slipped out of her palm.
At this time, several people from the other party were rushing towards this side. After the other party walked in, the two of them entered with a brush and walked around to the side of the valley inside.
"Are you ready? You only have three breaths. When the time comes, follow the temporary passage I opened and go in directly."
When they estimated that the distance was about the same, the writing brush stopped, leaving a stone-mill-like fountain in the air, reminding them to enter from here later.
Seeing Gu Zheng and the others nodding, a faint golden light lit up at the tip of the brush, and then moved towards a point in front of them, disappearing into the void with their entire bodies.
The next moment, on the mountain range in front of them, within the circle he just drew, a golden light spot appeared in the middle, and after a blink of an eye, it expanded into a golden channel, carefully connecting with the outside.
Gu Zheng and Mengzhen did not hesitate, they jumped in and the next moment they appeared in a strange place and heard the sound of a writing brush begging for mercy.
“Chivalrous lady, spare your life!”
“Ren Xue, stop!”
Gu Zheng saw Ren Xue grabbing the brush in mid-air and immediately whispered.
“Why is it you? Stand there and don’t move.” Ren Xue’s eyes narrowed, and she immediately inserted the brush into her hair, then threw it forward, and a green light covered the bodies of Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen.
Then Ren Xue squatted down in front of Gu Zheng, tilted his hand, and a seed sank into the soil under his feet. Several green branches and leaves broke out of the ground almost in the blink of an eye, stretching his body and swaying slightly in the air.
With.
At this time, there were a dozen or so dense footsteps nearby, coming from all directions and surrounding them. There was also a half-yellow but not green branch in their hands, which was gathering towards this direction.
“Lord Ren Xue, you are here.”
After more than a dozen of them came here, they did not come forward. They just stopped where they were and looked at the branches in their hands. One of them stepped forward and said politely.
"I'm really sorry. I accidentally alarmed everyone again. I still haven't fully mastered the spells Master Timber Wolf taught me." Ren Xue stood up, stroked the ends of her hair, and faced them with an embarrassed face.
apologized.
“We were reckless, but Lord Mutian told us not to take it lightly during this period, and we are on very strict alert.”
"I know, I just feel something in my heart. I will pay attention these days. I really caused trouble for you." Ren Xue did not look down on the other party because of his identity. She said politely and at the same time gave up her body to make it easier for the other party.
Be aware of what is happening behind you.
“We have to go back and continue to be vigilant. Lord Renxue takes his leave.”
The man glanced at the branch in his hand, then glanced at the situation in other hands. After finding nothing suspicious, he immediately left with the others.
The two Gu Zheng men who stood there motionless seemed to have not seen them, so they retreated out.
Ren Xue waited until they left and continued to take care of her small sapling. Unfortunately, after half a day, the small branch that grew into it fell down without any care.
“Hey, what a pity, it failed again this time.”
Ren Xue shook her head, then sighed and left, as if she had forgotten Gu Zheng and the others who were standing still and left without giving them any hint.
However, Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen understood what the other party meant by shaking their heads at the end. It seemed that they were regretting their own spells, but in fact they were telling them not to move.
In this way, Gu Zheng and Mengzhen stood here for two full days. During this period, they watched some people walking back and forth busily. Even they could feel the tense atmosphere in the air. It seemed that something was coming soon.
Things are about to happen, and Gu is confused about what they call Sheng Gui, and they don't know what the other party is doing.
When there was a sudden silence, Ren Xue appeared in front of them again. After subconsciously looking around, he said to Gu Zheng and the others.
“Follow me and don’t make a sound.”
Soon Ren Xue took them back to the place where she lived. It was a very simple room with no extraneous things except the most basic things. There were two rows of such rooms next to it.
offices
After Ren Xue closed the door and put a simple soundproof barrier on it, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Why are you here? Do you also know that my master and the others are in danger?”
She felt that Li Le and Gu were quarreling together, and that the two might have an unspeakable relationship. Perhaps they came here after sensing each other's danger. Otherwise, the world is so big, why would they pass by this ungrateful place?
And even after entering that town, it was obvious that the specific location of the other party could not be found.
"Can you tell me what's going on specifically? How is Li Le doing now?" Gu Zheng didn't reveal anything, but just asked the question in his mind.
"After I left last time, I rushed back with my master. She was also detained in the backyard as a prisoner. When I tried to rescue my master, I still failed. She was also captured. In two days, they were completely devoured.
At that time, Timber Wolf will use the power in it to perfectly restore his own strength and break away from the shackles of the ancient tree."
"And you also know my situation. After discussing with my master on the road, I finally found out his identity, so I personally captured my master. However, in order to guard against me, the other party left a restriction in my body to control my life and death.
, I had to serve them, of course I just compromised and wanted to find a way to rescue our master and the others."
“In the end, this time I lost both my husband and my army. Instead of rescuing my master, I trapped him.”
Ren Xue quickly spoke to Gu Zheng to let him understand his current situation.
Although Ren Xue's words were fragmented, Gu Zheng probably understood what happened and asked the most critical questions immediately.
"How strong is the other party? And those subordinates, why do they feel a little strange."
"Those were just ordinary people at first, but later they were bewitched. After parasitizing on their bodies, all their cultivations were brought about by the parasites, and they already completely belonged to them physically and mentally. However, from the outside, they thought they were being favored.
, is extremely loyal to him, and looks like an ordinary person."
At this point, Ren Xue pondered for a moment and continued.
“As for the other party, he calls himself Master Timber Wolf, and his strength is in the mid-level of Da Luo.”
“No way, in the middle stage of Da Luo, it seems that I am not as strong as you.” Meng Zhen said with some exaggeration.
Originally, she thought that the opponent was at the late stage of Da Luo at his worst, or even at the peak of Da Luo. However, his cultivation level was similar to that of Gu Zheng. Doesn't that mean that the opponent would definitely die?
With the combat power that Gu Zheng admits, even the peak of Daluo is not afraid of a full-scale explosion, let alone a mid-term Daluo.
