Gu Zheng pondered for a moment. Then, he abruptly took out his jade talisman and pressed it against a light shield beside him. Inside the light shield was a spear and the light shield was somewhat big.
The people beside him watched Gu Zheng's actions. They did not know why he would be so rash as to grab the spear. They had only been inside for a short while. They had plenty of time.
When the jade talisman in Gu Zheng's hand made contact with the light shield, the jade talisman transformed into a white light that enveloped the light shield. After the light shield was enveloped, it slowly dissipated. Only when the item inside was completely revealed did it disappear.
A quaint looking spear was placed inside. The tip of the spear had a red tail and the handle was engraved with mysterious runes. One could vaguely sense its astonishing aura.
Although they did not examine it carefully, they could tell that the spear was definitely a good magic treasure.
"Isn't it just fine inside? It's just a pity. Although the spear is good, there are better things than this." Another person who was closer to the spear said regretfully. He felt that it was not worth it for Gu Zheng to waste such an opportunity.
He had yet to realize that there was a problem here.
"No, there is something strange about this thing." Pan Xuan suddenly spoke up.
"Go take out the spear." Pan Xuan gestured to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand to grab the spear. However, something surprising happened. Gu Zheng's hand passed through the spear. He failed to grab it. It was as though the spear was just an illusion.
Gu Zheng was also surprised for a moment. In his perception, the long spear was really in front of him. However, Gu Zheng tried to pick it up a few times, but he was unable to pick it up.
Even when he placed his hand on the spear, the spear still passed through his palm.
"Is it possible? Does it require some special method?" The Asura beside him could not make up his mind. He watched as Gu Zheng continued to grab the spear back and forth.
Even if there were restrictions, he should not be unable to touch it.
"I don't think so. I think all of this is fake," Pan Xuan said loudly from the side. She did not seem to be able to see anything different.
By then, the others had arrived. Everyone, including Sir Hao, knew that Pan Xuan's attainments in illusions were very high. Since she had spoken up, there must be some inside story that they could not see.
Pan Xuan did not explain. She simply pressed the jade talisman in her hand against a shadow beside her. Soon, the shield disappeared and a shimmering jade bottle appeared.
No one knew what was inside. However, they could vaguely smell a fragrance.
They reached out to grab the jade bottle... but the same thing happened..... Although it did not disappear, it was enough to prove that there was something fishy going on...
"You, try this one. Mister Hao's face also sank. He pointed at a clan member who he thought had a lower cultivation level and told him to open the one next to him. There was a pill shining with golden light inside.
....... but....................
......... and.......................... is..
...................................................
. "The first Asura shouted. No one believed what he said just now.
The others were also stunned when they saw this scene. They couldn't believe that such a scene had happened right under their noses. Especially Ding Xiao. He had disregarded his reputation and snatched Ji Yi's jade talisman. Although no one would say anything about it, it would definitely leave a bad impression on some people.
Ding Xiao directly took out his jade talisman. He did not care what was inside. He opened another shield. It was also empty. Ding Xiao was dumbfounded.
"You guys, open all of them. Don't waste any more time. I want to see if everyone's jade talisman can't be used." Sir Hao's face was so dark that it looked like ink could drip from it. His group had been deceived by Deng Wenxuan. What did he want to do?
This time, everyone used the jade talisman in their hand to open the shield. Some opened it but it was empty. Some opened it but it was a shadow. Although they felt that it was real, they could not take it out.
Everyone knew that something was wrong. They all looked at Sir Hao. He was now the leader. They wanted to see what decision he would make.
"Pan Xuan, see if you can break this place." Sir Hao knew that Pan Xuan's injuries had not healed yet. However, he was worried that something would go wrong outside.
There was no other way. He could only let Pan Xuan work hard. Who asked her to be the most proficient in illusions here?
Since this was a trap, then there must be a reason why Envoy Wu let them in. Perhaps there was something happening outside that they did not know about.
"Okay, wait a moment." Pan Xuan agreed. Then, she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the color of her eyes had turned golden. At the same time, a faint golden light shot out from her eyes.
The veins on Pan Xuan's head were already popping out. She slowly turned her head. The faint golden light slowly shone on this space. Slowly, different rooms were revealed.
But when Pan Xuan shone half of the room, she suddenly cried out in pain and closed her eyes.
Streams of blood flowed out from the edges of her eyes. It was as if she was crying. However, it was not tears but blood. It was a horrifying sight.
"Are you okay?" Gu Zheng hurriedly supported Pan Xuan. He could feel that her body was trembling slightly due to the pain.
"I'm okay." Pan Xuan endured the discomfort and pain. "It's just that I haven't fully recovered. Now that I'm forcefully circulating my powers, I can't hold on any longer. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. Rest well. Leave the rest to us." Sir Hao's face was filled with anger. He looked at the different scene.
Now, everyone could see that the scene that was illuminated was completely different from before. Even the treasures on the wooden shelves had disappeared, revealing a wall made of rocks.
Everyone was furious. They had been tricked. Now that they knew and the array formation was half broken, they just had to break it with brute force.
Envoy Wu sensed the commotion in the hall behind him. He knew that those people had realized that they had been tricked and were trying to break his array formation.
However, his array formation was not that easy to break. Moreover, he had added another layer to ensure that they would not be able to come out for a while.
If not for the lack of time, he would have set up a killing array to trap them inside.
Sensing the increasing strength in his body, Envoy Wu looked at the Shura people who were still struggling below. After some time, he would be able to fully recover 20% of his strength. It would be enough to deal with them.
As for the Grand Luo above, he would not be able to come in as long as he did not leave. He did not expect that he would be able to use their ancestor's seal. Once he recovered his strength, he would definitely turn this place upside down. Even if he died, he would have no regrets.
In fact, if he killed everyone here, he might be able to trick them out of this place.
The black aura in the hall greedily absorbed the spiritual energy in the air to replenish Envoy Wu's body.
"General Ji, please act quickly. Let your companions come in. I can guarantee their safety." At this moment, the Shura's command could not hold on any longer. More and more people were injured.
Although there were no casualties, their results were too small. They had only killed less than ten people. Now that Envoy Wu was about to come down, they could not care less.
Seeing that General Ji was worried about his companions, he released the Promise of Mercy to ask General Ji for help.
The Shura people didn't have any objections. Their common enemy was the Crow Messenger. Moreover, the Black Skull was getting stronger and stronger. There were already a few dangerous situations. If it weren't for the fact that they were fighting desperately, there would have been casualties already.
"Alright." Ji Yi could see the current situation. Even if they did not ask, he would have cooperated with them. Envoy Wu was even more dangerous now. He was at least twice as strong as before.
If the Shura people lost their ability to fight, they would not be able to survive.
He knew that if the lips were gone, the teeth would be cold.
Ji Yi protected his team. The Shura people left a gap for Ji Yi's team to enter. They joined the Shura people's formation and helped them resist the attacks from the sky.
Ji Yi, on the other hand, stayed outside. He took out his weapon and prepared to fight.
"Thank you for your trouble." The commander transmitted to Ji Yi.
Ji Yi did not reply. He dragged his spear and rushed forward. He jumped into the Shura people's formation.
The Shura people at the outermost layer were worried about accidentally injuring Ji Yi, so they did not continue attacking the Shura people near Ji Yi.
Under Envoy Wu's control, most of the Shura people retreated and surrounded Ji Yi. They wanted to use their numbers to kill him. The rest either attacked with spells or blocked the enemy's attacks.
The Shura people were under less pressure. The injured quickly took medicine to heal themselves. The rest attacked the skulls in the sky.
Ji Yi dodged left and right. He waved his spear vigorously. Although the Shura people were not afraid of death, he did not let a single Shura get close to him.
If he could not dodge an attack, he would use his body to block it. Most of the Shura people's attacks could not penetrate his defensive immortal energy. He only needed to pay attention to the few with higher cultivation.
Ji Yi pulled his spear out from the Shura's heart again. He could not help but frown. The Shura's heart was destroyed, but they were still attacking him. After probing for a while, it seemed that the Shura's weakness was the head.
Regardless of whether he pierced it or not, the Shura's wounds would heal in a short time. Even if he deliberately broke the Shura's leg, the Shura would only stop for a few minutes. Then, it would continue to charge forward. It did not look injured at all.
They were too difficult to deal with. Moreover, they were consciously protecting their heads. He had only killed a few Shura people in half a day. There were still many Shura people who wanted to kill him.
This was caused by the black fog outside. However, he did not have a good way to deal with the black fog. When he scattered some, more black fog would come.
Actually, he should have attacked Emissary Wu directly from the start. Unfortunately, the restriction on the stairs was still glowing faintly. It was still working. He could not break through it alone.
Emissary Wu's aura was getting stronger and stronger. He had no cultivation at the start. Now, he had become a Heavenly Immortal.
It seemed that he could only wait for them to come out. Then, he would consider killing Emissary Wu. Hopefully, it was not too late.
The main thing now was to kill these Shura people in front of him.
Emissary Wu watched Ji Yi kill his puppets from the high platform. He did not care. He continued to control the puppets to block and intercept Ji Yi.
It seemed that he had to kill this human who was a threat to him. As for those Shura, other than using spells to harass him, he was fully focused on recovering the energy in his body.
He had to recover some energy before they broke through the restriction. Otherwise, he would not be able to survive their attacks.
As long as he did not recover to the Grand Heavenly Realm, he would not be able to withstand the attacks of a few peak Jin Xian cultivators.
"Crash."
A clear sound came from the hall behind him. Emissary Wu turned around. It turned out that the other party had already broken through his illusion. Moreover, the time it took was much shorter than he expected.
It seemed that he had to speed up his recovery. He seemed to have underestimated the abilities of the other party.
Emissary Wu took out an elixir pill from his pocket and threw it into his mouth. A spiritual energy whirlpool appeared in the cave and poured into Emissary Wu's body.
The commander below was shocked when he saw Emissary Wu absorbing the spiritual energy. Just how strong was this so-called Emissary Wu? His strength was still increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
No wonder he did not have any cultivation at the start. If he could see through it and attacked with all his might, the restriction on the stairs would not have lasted for long.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs. Who would have thought that the place left behind by the Patriarch would be invaded by a stranger? He even provided so many corpses for the other party to recover his strength so quickly.
Moreover, after those Black Asuras died, the Black Skeletons continued to absorb their corpses. A black fog was emitted from their bodies and surged towards Emissary Wu, providing him with energy. It was too evil.
Young Master Yu activated the mystic realm in advance and released a freak that took over Deng Wenxuan's body. He probably did not know how much damage his actions had caused.
Even if it was a few hundred years later, the black fog would have been suppressed to death. Unfortunately, when Gu Zheng went to rescue the six monkeys, he discovered one of their secret locations. Young Master Yu also happened to know that he had a glove on his hand. He even knew that Gu Zheng already knew some secrets.
Young Master Yu took advantage of the situation and ended his plan early. He activated the mystic realm in advance.
It had to be said that everything had a law. It was so many coincidences that led to the final outcome.
When Gu Zheng and the others broke through the illusion, the real situation in the room appeared in front of them.
There were some blood diamonds scattered on the ground. It was basically the same as when Deng Wenxuan left.
Gu Zheng picked up a jade bottle on the ground and vaguely sensed an aura from it. It seemed to be the blood of the phoenix. It was no wonder they had sensed the blood of the phoenix in the illusion.
However, he did not find it. Gu Zheng was very puzzled back then. Where was it? It turned out that it was in the real room outside.
The messy blood diamonds were probably accidentally touched by others, but he did not notice.
Lord Hao looked at everything in front of him and his breathing became heavier. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked indescribably ferocious. He could already hear the screams of his clansmen outside.
Furthermore, Deng Wenxuan's sinister aura was still climbing.
When Ding Xiao came out, he ran towards the door of the hall but realized that he could not open it. He slapped the door and his hand glowed with blue light. It looked like he wanted to break the door open.
With a loud bang, Ding Xiao flew back in a sorry state. An array formation had been set up on the door.
Just as his palm was about to touch the door, a stream of light flashed and blocked the attack. A portion of the attack even returned to him. In a moment of carelessness, he was injured.
"Damn it," Ding Xiao said fiercely.
There were no other exits in the hall. As for the walls, there was no need to think too much. No one, including Gu Zheng, wanted to break through the walls. Everyone knew how difficult it was to mine the walls.
If they wanted to leave through the walls, even if everyone attacked together, it would probably take them more than a hundred years to break through.
"Boom! Boom!
Boom! "The other Shuras also tried to open it, but it was useless.
"This array formation must have been set up outside. If you want to leave, there are only two ways. Either break it from the outside or forcefully split open the door."
Lord Hao's voice sounded somewhat terrifying. Anyone who knew that his clansmen had been slaughtered and that his mission had failed would not know how Young Master Yu would trigger him.
He did not care about Gu Zheng picking up the bottle. Even if it was the blood of the phoenix, he coveted it, including the glove and the blood diamonds on the ground. He did not care about anything else.
All his future prospects were gone. There might even be worse things happening. He could not let Lord Hao despair or anger.
Lord Hao only wanted to leave. Even if he had to die together with Deng Wenxuan, he could not vent the hatred in his heart.
After Ding Xiao heard Lord Hao's words, he got up again and rushed to the door. He asked the juniors beside him to leave while he personally wore down the array formation's power.
There was always a limit to the array formation. Unfortunately, the door was too narrow and only allowed one person to attack. Otherwise, if everyone attacked at the same time, it would be faster.
"What's going on outside?" Pan Xuan asked Gu Zheng anxiously.
Gu Zheng helped Pan Xuan sit down and told her about the current situation.
Her eyes were no longer bleeding, but they were still closed. She had forcefully circulated her energy, causing her eyes to be damaged. It would take some time before she could open them again.
Pan Xuan was so weak that her divine sense could not pass through the room to sense what was going on outside.
"Ji Yi already went up to help. However, he was unable to break through the restrictions on the stairs. Otherwise, he could have helped us break the array formation or kill Envoy Wu."
