While Gu Zheng was waiting to enter the Tower of Hell and thinking about how to find Senlu and how to get him to agree to go up there, something new happened on Ye Tian's side.
The long battle finally ended. The ambushed bandit group, surrounded by Hades and other forces, had little power to fight back. Small teams were continuously defeated, and even began to pursue them along their retreat route.
, seems to want to drive them all away.
And they didn't dare to stay at all. Once they stayed, without any accident, they would fall into their hands. As for the consequences, they would be killed on the spot. They would not spare the gangsters.
"Go quickly."
Feeling that the first camp behind him had been breached by the opponent, he continued to flee towards the back with just over half of the remaining team members. He knew that once he fell into the hands of Hades, he would not seek help from Gu Zheng until he died.
Not only them, but also many teams have left the camp early, but most of them want to rely on the defense of the camp to defeat the opponent's first attack and take a breather.
In fact, their initial strategy was successful, and they even saw hope of victory for a time. While building defenses, they let their escaped companions replenish the defenses here again.
But at that time, Ye Tian knew that this was just the hope that the other party deliberately left for them. Their apparent strength was more than twice as powerful as theirs. After discovering that a senior Jinxian had sneaked away, he ignored
Everyone on his side was injured and they didn't get enough rest, so they immediately left quietly with their team members.
They had only been gone for half a day when there was a huge vibration behind them. Even from such a distance, they could feel the terrifying aura coming from there, as if the opponent's strength had strengthened again.
The group of people were glad that they were leaving, dragging their exhausted bodies and speeding away from here. They didn't know if the other party would catch up.
"Plop"
One of his subordinates was seriously injured. Suddenly his vision went dark, his feet went soft, and he fell directly to the ground.
"Taurus!"
The entire team suddenly stopped. Ye Tian helped the opponent up and shouted loudly. Unfortunately, he had fallen into a deep coma and had no response to the outside world.
"Captain Ye, you should leave first. I feel like I can't hold on any longer. Why don't I turn around and help everyone lure them away."
Although the contact time was not long, everyone else was jealous and admired Ye Tian. If it weren't for him, they might not have been able to come back from the beginning and would have stepped into each other's trap.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We all have to go together. Have you grabbed enough people and I haven't grabbed enough? You guys take it. This is the last inventory. I hope everything goes well down there."
Ye Tian looked around and found that the rush during this period had made them severely tired. He immediately stopped talking and took out the things Gu Zheng had given him and rushed into the arms of his men.
"If we want to go, let's go together; if we want to die, we will die together! Let's go!"
Ye Tian also stuffed a healing elixir into Jinniu's mouth, then put the other person on his back, roared directly, and then continued to speed forward with long strides.
Others clearly saw that Ye Tian himself had not swallowed the pills, and there was not one in the other person's hand. However, he was still injured, and his heart was extremely moved. After swallowing the pills one after another, they felt that their bodies were repairing quickly.
I also know the value of this thing.
Ye Tian did not ask the other party what they were thinking, and did not mention the injuries he suffered. Although they looked big on the outside, they were not seriously injured in fact. Regarding them in his heart, no matter what he said, he actually hated them in his heart.
The robber will die, but for Master Gu's plan, he has to do it against his will.
And at this time, he also realized that this opportunity was his opportunity to quickly contact more places and explore suspicious places.
After replenishing the elixir, he led them to continue running. Occasionally, they could see other companions, but they all had a tacit understanding and did not follow the same route. All their goals were the secret stronghold on the border, which was the last stronghold.
Most people have never been there, only those Jinxian seniors told them to flee there immediately if something goes wrong.
It wasn't until three days and three nights later that I couldn't feel any threatening breath behind me that I stopped to rest.
In the dark night, they hid in a small hill. Looking at the people taking the time to rest, they also put down the golden bull and placed it steadily on the ground aside. They also took the time to rest. They must leave before dawn.
A few hours passed in an instant. For them, even if this time was not enough, it was enough to make them feel energetic.
Just when Ye Tian was about to grab the golden bull, the other party slowly woke up.
Seeing this, Ye Tian asked everyone to give him one more stick of incense to wake him up and set off together. At the same time, he also said something to encourage everyone. He knew that once these people successfully returned, they would be his absolute confidants, even him.
He thought that if he took them to defect and start a new business, several of them would leave with him.
But he won't take them with him, he will just rely on them to strengthen his position.
"We compared our approximate location according to the place mentioned by our seniors. It will take at least half a year to get there, so these six months are the most difficult time for us. We have no reinforcements and no recovery pills, so we can only rely on
We will make it through with our efforts.”
"We won't say whether we can catch up with the pursuers behind us, but let's just pretend that the other party has been chasing us. Otherwise, when we see each other, it will be our death. We can't afford to gamble, and there is no way out."
At this time, Ye Tian told them the worst case scenario, not afraid that the other party would be discouraged, because as he said, they had no escape route at all. They were on the periphery and were not qualified to have that kind of cover-up. In other words, they
When everyone is stained with blood, it is impossible to get close to the city. If you keep wandering outside, you will inevitably die sooner or later.
"No matter what, I will take Captain Ye as my leader." Taurus, who had recovered, also knew the whole story and immediately said loudly.
"Captain Ye, do whatever you say, we would have died long ago without you."
Others had no objections and expressed their loyalty.
"Our team is still too small. I want to gather together with some companions on the road. If something unexpected happens, we can still have bait." Ye Tian made no secret of what he wanted to do.
Speak out the matter.
“Great idea!”
"Just do this, we all support you."
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist. They had no objection to this, and were actually a little happy about it.
Soon the group of them set off again, facing unknown dangers
At the other end, Gu Zheng was already prepared, holding an unknown stone full of evil aura in his hand, standing not far from the Tower of Hell.
"Remember, let me say it one last time. Once you want to leave, destroy this stone. I will open a door for you outside. You can come back no matter what the situation is. The person you want to bring out can also
You can come out, but it can only last for the time of a cup of tea. If you can't come out, you're going to stay in there for hundreds of years, and you can't come out until the evolution is complete."
"Did you hear that clearly? Raise your hands, so I know better."
Far away from Gu Zheng, Da Fei shouted over here.
Gu Zheng raised his right hand helplessly, showing that he understood everything.
"That's good, the journey there is a bit uncomfortable, just wish yourself well." After seeing Gu Zheng's actions, Da Fei was very satisfied, left a word loudly, and disappeared.
"Uncomfortable?"
Gu Zheng looked at the evil stone in his hand and didn't know what the other party was feeling, but he still wrapped layers of defenses outside his body and continued to wait.
Half an hour later, as the stone in Gu Zheng's hand suddenly shook, a large amount of evil aura emerged from it like a tide, forming a thick black mist that enveloped Gu Zheng, instantly making Gu Zheng feel as if he had fallen silent.
In the sea of despair.
The endless despair lingers in the heartache, and I just want to follow this pain and fall into the abyss below, never wanting to come up.
This feeling passed in an instant. The next moment Gu Zheng felt that his whole body was relaxed. The evil atmosphere around him had disappeared. He couldn't help but bend down and began to breathe heavily. Only then did he realize that his whole body was soaked with sweat.
.
"What on earth is this? If you let me hold it like this, there won't be any accidents." Gu Zheng took a few breaths, then stood up, looked at the stone in his hand, and murmured.
After looking at it for a few times, this black stone did not have the same feeling as before. It seemed as if all the evil had been completely purified. It was just an ordinary stone. It gave him the feeling that it could be completely crushed with just a slight exertion.
Putting away the stone, Gu Zheng looked around and found that he had appeared in the Tower of Hell.
At this time, the place he was in didn't look much like a tower. The sky was as high as a small world. The white world looked like he was seeing the world through a veil of mist. Other than that, there was nothing around him, like flowers and grass.
There are trees, insects and birds, and even ordinary-looking mud under your feet, as if you are in a dead world.
However, apart from feeling strange and unexpected, Gu Zheng didn't feel any discomfort. He didn't know which level this was or whether there were any suffering spirits here.
He knew that since he appeared here, there was obviously something wrong with him. Maybe several people above and below him had problems. He said that he was so helpful to him, so why didn't he tell the specific things.
Even though he was thinking this way, Gu Zheng also knew that things could not be that good. Since the other party made it clear that he wanted to benefit him, he would naturally help him as much as possible without touching him, or else he would simply go for him and get what he got.
Just give him a reward, how can such a good thing happen?
Not knowing his specific location, Gu Zheng randomly picked a location and ran there. The most important thing now was to find a living spirit body and get some information first.
Maybe it was because there were a lot of spirit bodies here, or maybe it was because the space here was not as big as he thought. In just a short time, Gu Zheng felt that the spirit body in front of him was a spirit body that was suffering pain.
An ordinary man was rolling on the ground, wailing in pain, and hammering his head with both hands, making a "bang bang" collision sound, as if this could relieve the pain in his head.
Looking at the other party's appearance, the first reaction was that the other party was a tortured spirit body, and the other party's cultivation level actually reached the middle stage of Golden Immortal. It was obviously because of that influence that the other party recovered his cultivation level. Otherwise, no matter how many levels,
They will be just like ordinary people, unarmed.
However, the punishment here does not seem to be physical pain, but mental torture. With the other party's cultivation level, I am afraid it is impossible to completely whisper.
Gu Zheng stood not far away, looking at the other party calmly. It was not until a quarter of an hour passed that the other party's voice slowly became quieter, until he finally lay on the ground motionless, breathing heavily and recovering.
energy.
When he saw that the other party was almost recovered, he approached him.
There was no cover for Gu Zheng. As soon as he got close to the place, the man discovered the existence of Gu Zheng. He turned over and became alert for a moment. However, after seeing Gu Zheng's appearance, he actually relaxed his vigilance.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Zheng looked at the other party's appearance and tried hard to remember whether he had met Duofang. What made him even more surprised was that if he could appear here, he would definitely have done something bad and he didn't seem to know how to deal with the other party.
.
"Sir, I feel like I'm almost done. After at most one time, I can completely get rid of the control here. You can take me away this time. After you make a tour, I will definitely be fine." The man saluted Gu Zheng.
, said with a longing tone.
"Oh, so fast? I think you didn't look too good just now." Gu Zheng's heart moved, and then he asked casually.
"I'm just a little afraid of pain. The dream was really terrifying. You don't need the physical body to resist punishment, but the mental torture makes people want to die." The man said, showing his fear.
expression.
"The spirit is trapped in the body, and the body still envies the spirit, and those who have been tortured envy you even more. Come with me first, and see if there are still people who meet the conditions. If you don't do it twice, you will stop acting." Gu
Zheng looked at the sky proudly, and then said somewhat ambiguously.
At this time, he had no idea what the other party meant, but he also knew that the other party must have misunderstood him and regarded himself as someone else. Naturally, he would not expose it. He just took the opportunity to see what was happening here. With preparation, he soon became more relaxed.
"Yes, sir, you are right." The man here said flatteringly, without looking as painful as before.
"Forget it, you're lucky. What's your name? Come with me. But I've already planned it. If you're still like this after I leave, don't blame me for abandoning you." Gu Zheng waved his hand.
He said pretending not to care.
"Sir, my name is Fang Yan." Fang Yan immediately followed with a smile, "Of course I will not deceive you, are you going to the foggy area?"
"Don't worry about that place. Let's look around other places now. Are there any problems?" Gu Zheng stopped and said calmly. He didn't even know where he was going.
"No, you can go wherever you want, sir." Fang Yan said quickly, and Gu Zheng's last question made him nervous.
"It's best if you don't have any questions. Just don't interrupt. Just say whatever I ask you." Gu Zheng glanced at the other party coldly, then strode forward.
"Yes yes!"
Fang Yan nodded and bowed, and followed Gu Zheng closely.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Gu Zheng was still very satisfied. The other party's character seemed to be that of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He didn't know whether he was like that in life or whether he had changed here. Presumably it was the former.
During the rest of the journey, I just said a few more words, and then started to trick the other person, portraying myself as someone who came here specifically to relax and find someone. The other party believed it, and he naturally said everything he knew when asked by Gu Zheng.
Everything is endless.
First of all, it was a pity that he had not heard any news about Senlu, but it was normal. He had only come down three times in total. It was not surprising that the other party did not show up.
Although Fang Yan didn't know much, it was enough to give Gu Zheng, who didn't know anything else, a general understanding.
First of all, this is definitely the Tower of Hell, but I don’t know how many floors there are specifically. It is said that there are more than a hundred floors, which belongs to the middle area, and there is a punishment that scares them, which is to pull you directly into the illusion of your own mind. From you
The people you care about most in your heart die in front of you in various ways over and over again.
And this is just a visual punishment, because the scary thing is that after the death of the person you care about most, they will rush directly towards you, eating your flesh and blood bit by bit, the pain of being torn apart bit by bit.
, but could not die, and in the end there was only one head left, looking at the person he cared about most like a madman, the kind of torture made people want to die.
As for the other levels, he had no idea that he had to endure this kind of pain every day. Some of the people left here were either crazy or already dead.
If you commit suicide here, it is impossible to achieve it. If you want to die, you must be truly desperate to succeed, so others are still struggling to support it.
Until some people arrived, some seniors with strong cultivation actually broke away from the shackles of the upper level and used some special means to come down below, looking for some weak points and preparing to find an opening to leave from the Tower of Hell, and they were among them here.
A weak point.
Now with the help of the other party, the power here in the Tower of Hell has been blocked by some means of the other party. Many of the spirits here have begun to break away from the shackles here one by one and follow them to leave here.
Because once the other side takes action, this layer will no longer exist, and everyone who stays here will die. However, no one knows when the other side will take action, so when they see Gu Zheng, they can’t wait to
Come closer.
As long as he does it again, he can completely get rid of the shackles here, so he wants to follow Gu Zheng.
As for other places, he didn't know much about it, but he knew this place well.
Gu Zheng listened to his introduction along the way and quickly understood the other party's intentions. What he had to do was very simple, just restore the other party's troublesome areas to normal.
With the help of the Tower of Hell and the weakened cultivation of the enemy, it looks like a relaxing trip.
Taking Fang Yan with him, he casually wandered outside and met many spirits outside, all of whom had recovered 50% of their cultivation. Gu Zheng did not meet each other and observed them from a distance.
After that, just leave directly.
After finding the location of the center and finding nothing suspicious, Gu Zheng took Fang Yan and headed towards the foggy area.
