The immobilized red light quickly gathered on the stone pillar again and moved down bit by bit. Every time it moved, the red light dimmed a little. Below the stalactite, a red bowl was waiting. There were many round and plump beads in it, almost the size of a grain of rice.
Soon, a pure, transparent, and dazzling drop of water fell from the bottom of the stone pillar.
As it fell, the light continued to converge. Finally, it turned into beads of about the same size and fell into the bowl with a crisp sound. Upon closer inspection, there were dozens of beads.
The red light was still moving down slowly. At this speed, it would take a long time to reach the bottom.
The arrays had stopped when the light entered the stone pillar, as if to prevent it from escaping.
When Young Master Yu entered, the crystals were transferred into the bowl. The person in charge was shocked at first and had already raised his weapon. However, when he saw Young Master Yu, he let go of all his defenses and took off his gloves. He respectfully stood to the side and greeted Young Master Yu.
"Young Master Yu, this is all I have for the past few hundred years."
Young Master Yu nodded, indicating that he understood. He had been here many times. Looking at the unchanging scene, he suddenly said,
"How many years have you been here?"
"Young Master Yu, I have been here for more than three thousand years. However, it is my honor to be able to work for Young Master Yu."
This Shura, who was at the peak of Jin Xian, looked at Young Master Yu with a fanatical expression. It was his pride and honor to work for Young Master Yu.
"Don't worry, Deng Wenxuan. I have seen your hard work. I will not treat you unfairly." Young Master Yu waved his hand and put away all the things in the bowl, leaving only one bead in it.
"Did something unexpected happen?"
"One of our strongholds, the one in the far west, can no longer be contacted. I suspect that it has been destroyed." Deng Wenxuan thought about it. Other than this, everything else was normal. "I have already sent someone to check and see what happened."
"I suspect that someone has already found out about our plan. I was just about to send someone to inform Young Master Yu when you came."
"I got it. It's time to end this plan. After so many years of collecting information, some of the clansmen probably know some of the secrets of this place. There's no need to continue. Leave a message for everyone later. Tell them to take advantage of this opportunity to leave. All of them have to leave."
Young Master Yu's tone was very serious. "After you are done, go out for a while. You have one last task. Once you complete it, you can leave this place. I have reserved a position for you in the clan's patrol team."
"Thank you, Young Master Yu. I am willing to go through water and tread on fire for you. Deng Wenxuan shouted with a face full of surprise. His body was trembling because of this huge surprise. Although it was only the lowest level patrol team, it was already considered as a disciple of Young Master Yu. His status was completely different from before.
It could be said that the difference was like heaven and earth. It was just like a sect. In the past, you were just a low-level servant disciple. Other than cleaning, you couldn't do anything else. Now, you had become an ordinary disciple. Even if you were a low-level disciple, you could still cultivate and receive daily supplies.
"Hurry up, I'll wait for you here."
"Yes."
Deng Wenxuan hurriedly went out to give orders. He gathered everyone in the cave and passed down Young Master Yu's order. When they returned, they were to pass on the message to the others. If they didn't want to go back, he wouldn't force them.
As for those who didn't receive the message in time, it was very simple. Young Master Yu left a symbol in a secret place in the cave and added all the information he wanted. They would know what to do when they returned.
Soon, Deng Wenxuan came back after explaining everything clearly. The stalactite above his head was gone, and the box on the ground was also gone. Everything was empty, but Deng Wenxuan didn't care. Everything belonged to Young Master Xu. How he wanted to deal with it was his business. As a servant, he didn't need to ask too much.
"Young Master Yu, I have arranged everything." Deng Wenxuan came to Young Master Yu's side and bowed.
Young Master Yu turned to Young Master Yu and said, "Well, next, you will go with me to the place we have prepared. We have to evacuate from here. However, the things we have done over the years have already aroused the suspicions of the Special Envoy.
We have to blame the enemy. "Young Master Yu turned to Deng Wenxuan and said," And you have to control the overall situation. Don't worry, I will give you a transmission stone. It can guarantee that you will be directly sent to our rear. This was specially made during the trial of trust. You should have heard about it. "
Deng Wenxuan directly handed a button to Young Master Yu. It was exactly the same as Pan Xuan's.
Deng Wenxuan nodded. Of course, he knew about it. Those geniuses who were carefully taken care of were really considerate. They would even leave a safe escape route for the other party if there was a little danger.
"You mean the maze trap that was completed a few years ago?" Deng Wenxuan took it and asked doubtfully.
"Did they prepare to evacuate a long time ago?" Deng Wenxuan suddenly thought.
"Yes. In order to make it more realistic, I deliberately added something that is enough to prove that it was done by the other side." Young Master Yu laughed. His face was indescribably strange.
"Yes, Young Master Yu. You are the mastermind. I will definitely complete the mission." Deng Wenxuan directly accepted the order. Since he knew his mission, there was no need to ask more questions.
Young Master Yu looked at Deng Wenxuan with satisfaction. As expected of the person he had specially chosen. He was indeed smart. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask.
Also, he didn't think that he would get such a big reward from this trip. Young Master Yu remembered that young man. Although he was indeed a Shura, he smelled a familiar scent. It was the scent of Hei Yan.
One had to know that Hei Yan's ring was personally put on by Young Master Yu. This special ring was different from the normal ones. It had more functions. For example, he might have been thrown in by Hei Yan before he died. Only a strengthened ring could have such an effect.
In that case, why did he disguise himself as a Shura? Could it be for Pan Xuan? That was not very likely. He did not even know who was behind Pan Xuan.
Moreover, even if he was with Pan Xuan, the people behind Pan Xuan would not agree. His identity could not be hidden at all. Unless he was willing to stay in the Blood Sea forever, that possibility had to be ruled out.
Judging from his wrist, he definitely had another glove. It was very likely that he had been to the lost stronghold and even felt the magical power of the blood diamond.
But what was the use? Young Master Yu did not dare to absorb it. He could only give it to the elders to study. Young Master Yu had already given up on his plan. He did not need the glove anymore. He still had to throw the other glove out.
Pan Xuan also had a mission to find the glove. As long as Pan Xuan found traces of the glove and informed the protector, there would be a good show to watch.
As for the lives of the trial participants, it was none of Young Master Feng's business. Young Master Feng would be the one to worry about. He could just rest for a few thousand years and stop cultivating. With Young Master Feng's identity, he could just ask the elders to come out. It was not like he could not catch enough people.
After that, Deng Wenxuan left with Young Master Yu. They went straight from the side, around Puppet Town, and avoided some scattered people.
On the way to the central forest, Young Master Yu was looking forward to seeing the young man. He hoped that the young man would live up to the good show he had arranged for him.
Gu Zheng, who had just walked out of the door, suddenly sneezed. His body felt a chill that came quickly and left quickly. When Gu Zheng checked himself, he found that there was nothing wrong with his body. It was as if what had just happened was just an illusion.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Pan Xuan asked Gu Zheng with a face full of concern. That expression of hers caused the people waiting outside the door to wail and curse Gu Zheng in their hearts.
"It's nothing. Maybe my injuries are not completely healed yet." Gu Zheng found an excuse to push it away. He did not know what was going on, but it seemed like people were talking about him behind his back.
"Then you have to be careful. Go back and rest." Pan Xuan originally wanted to drag Gu Zheng to eat something, but after hearing what he said, she gave up.
Gu Zheng saw that most of the people around him were looking at him with gritted teeth. Gu Zheng did not need to guess to know what they were thinking.
Gu Zheng saw that so many people were cursing him. If he continued to stay here with Pan Xuan, who knew what would happen? It was better to leave as soon as possible.
"Okay, let's go back and talk." Gu Zheng also had no choice. If he knew that he had avoided eating with Pan Xuan, he would be even more excited.
If he entered the only tavern that provided food and wine, the drunken people inside wouldn't ask any questions. Instead, they would directly challenge Gu Zheng to a fight.
Thinking of a group of people lining up to spar with him, Gu Zheng shuddered again. He had to leave quickly. It was too scary.
Pan Xuan was still worried about Gu Zheng's injuries. This time, she did not slowly wander around the streets. She quickly got rid of the crowd and returned to her home.
Pan Xuan opened the restrictions in the house. This was very safe. People outside could not enter at all. Even Gu Zheng could not break this defense in a short time.
Many people who followed behind slowly dispersed. Even if there was no restriction, they did not have the courage to disturb Pan Xuan. Only one person was not reconciled and stayed.
After returning to the house, Gu Zheng did not care about his image and lay on the chair. Pan Xuan went upstairs to get some medicinal pills. Facing Pan Xuan's concern, Gu Zheng was really embarrassed. He could not hand over the gloves, even if it was her mission target. Gu Zheng always felt that there was some use for it.
When she grew up, he would accompany her to look for it. There was still one more. Maybe he could find it. Gu Zheng comforted himself like this.
"You mean we can go out without the restriction?" Gu Zheng said in surprise.
"Didn't you hear it just now?" Pan Xuan looked at Gu Zheng, a look of disbelief on her face. The person in charge had said that to the two of them.
"Err, I was in a daze." Gu Zheng said embarrassedly. At that time, he was feeling uneasy and did not hear what was said clearly.
"Yes. Moreover, they gave us a set of crystals, something to call for help in case of an emergency." Pan Xuan took out many relatively pure Flame Dragon Stones and handed them to Gu Zheng. "This is your share."
"Do you have so many?" Gu Zheng looked at the many Flame Dragon Stones in his hand. He could not help but be stunned and asked.
"Of course. Don't you know who I am?" Pan Xuan naturally would not tell Gu Zheng that the person in charge had given her all the crystals.
"Good." Gu Zheng did not refuse, even though he knew that Pan Xuan might have deliberately given him a large portion. "People from big families are indeed different. Unlike us, they usually have to scrimp and save."
Gu Zheng purposely clicked his tongue in wonder, and Pan Xuan rolled her eyes at him charmingly. Pan Xuan grumbled, "Do you think I'll believe you? You should focus on recuperating. I won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, Pan Xuan left Gu Zheng with a beautiful figure and went up to the second floor. Gu Zheng continued to stay downstairs, pretending to continue recuperating. However, he did not know that there was someone outside who had been loitering outside, watching the inside closely, afraid that she would miss the slightest movement.
Just like that, Gu Zheng pretended to sit for a few days. Pan Xuan came down again. Seeing that Gu Zheng was already jumping around and looking at the scenery in the distance, she could not help but laugh. "What's wrong? You are completely fine now, right?"
Gu Zheng turned his head embarrassedly and looked at the beautifully dressed Pan Xuan. "What's the matter today? Do you want to go out and start your mission? "
"No." Pan Xuan deliberately acted coquettishly. "I want to go to the tavern for a drink. Can you accompany me?"
Seeing Pan Xuan's expectant gaze, Gu Zheng could not bear to refuse. However, he still said, "It's not good for us to go out like this. Every time we go out, those people look at us as if they want to eat us. It makes me feel very awkward."
Pan Xuan's eyes were full of spirit, and when she heard this, she smiled like a crescent moon. "Don't worry. Don't resist. Watch me."
Gu Zheng just stood there and relaxed, waiting to see what she was going to do.
Pan Xuan stretched out her arm. Gu Zheng felt a vague aura surging around his body. It was somewhat uncomfortable, as if he was trapped in a ball. If not for the fact that he believed that Pan Xuan would not hurt him, he would have broken this thing that imprisoned him.
After a while, the aura stopped, and the uncomfortable feeling disappeared. Gu Zheng hurriedly looked at himself. There were no changes. He was still dressed the same as before.
On the other hand, Pan Xuan circled around herself and nodded in satisfaction. Then, she also circled around herself. Following the flashes of light, many starlights flickered back and forth around Pan Xuan's body. Pan Xuan was like a dancing elf, attracting attention.
"Okay." Pan Xuan called out. Gu Zheng found that Pan Xuan had not changed. She was still the same as before. He did not know what Pan Xuan was doing.
Pan Xuan looked at Gu Zheng's confused face and giggled. He did not know what she did, but a water screen appeared out of thin air, and his image was reflected on it.
"Look."
Gu Zheng looked at the water screen and saw his new image reflected on it.
"Eh?"
Gu Zheng looked at his image. It was completely different from his current appearance. It was a somewhat sloppy middle-aged Shura. He was very ugly and ordinary, and it moved according to his movements. However, Gu Zheng saw that his image was the same as before. There were no changes.
Gu Zheng was looking at the image when a strange woman suddenly came to his side. He was shocked and quickly looked to the side. It was Pan Xuan. He saw that Pan Xuan was still dressed the same, and the image was indeed an ordinary Shura woman.
"Not bad, right? This way, besides those with higher cultivation, others will see us like this."
"Not bad. Your illusion is simply too powerful." Gu Zheng praised.
Hearing Gu Zheng's praise, Pan Xuan's smile became even brighter. "Let's go. You can't refuse this time."
"Okay, let's go." Gu Zheng really could not refuse this time. He could only go out with her. If Gu Zheng had a mission, he would have gone out to look for something long ago, unlike Pan Xuan who was taking her time. He did not know what was in a woman's mind.
Gu Zheng felt that he did not understand how a woman's mind worked in both his previous life and this life.
Su Nan had been there for several days, and for him, she had temporarily given up on the arena. Now, she was running away without a fight. Her position had been taken by others, and her identity as the arena master was taken away.
But he did not care. The closest person to him was Xiao Chong. Ever since he saw with his own eyes that many of the tablets in the ancestral hall were broken, he did not have many family members left, and Xiao Chong was the most important one.
Because there were restrictions outside, he could not see what was going on inside. However, if the other party wanted to come out or go in, they would have to use restrictions.
Suddenly, two unfamiliar faces came out from inside. Two complete strangers. Su Nan was puzzled. She felt that something was wrong.
Su Nan's eyes lit up. She realized that it was actually a kind of disguise Gu Zheng and Pan Xuan had put on. So that was it. Using this method to avoid everyone's eyes was indeed very clever.
However, she would not be fooled. Su Nan immediately followed behind them carefully and watched where they went. No matter where the other party went, Su Nan would not let the man out of her sight. Su Nan would not question the other party in front of the two people.
Because if she faced the other party alone, even if the other party did not say anything, she would use force to force him to say it. Although the other party was very strong, she was not weak either. She was not afraid of the other party at all.
She watched the other party stroll along the streets, not attracting anyone's attention. But in Su Nan's eyes, nothing could be hidden from her. She carefully followed behind them, ensuring that the other party would not notice her.
She watched them wander back and forth in this run-down little town, and finally came to a tavern to have a good meal. Su Nan really did not know what was so interesting about this place. It was so monotonous. It was not even as bustling as a small town outside.
Even a meal was so long. Su Nan calculated the time. They had been out for an entire day. Seeing them return to the room, Su Nan felt very tired. But she still forced herself to stay alert and continue to monitor them.
