"This is what I should do. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Sir Hao's method. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to escape. Speaking of which, everyone should thank Sir Hao the most. It was your final decision that saved everyone's lives." Gu Zheng lowered his head slightly and said modestly.
After Sir Hao heard this, he laughed loudly and his face became much rosier. Although Gu Zheng was right and he provided the method, most of the credit could be said to be Gu Zheng's.
And he was so tactful to let Sir Hao take the biggest credit. Perhaps Sir Hao's merit would outweigh his mistake and he might even enter the patrol team. How could Sir Hao not be happy?
He felt that Gu Zheng was more and more pleasing to the eye. He was strong and knew how to conduct himself. It seemed that he had to introduce him to Young Master Yu in the future. Such a talent could not be missed.
"Sir Hao, since you have recovered well, why don't you gather everyone and say something to them? Many people outside are very worried about you." You Xing quickly suggested when he saw that Sir Hao was in a good mood.
"En, this suggestion is not bad. Do as you see fit. Don't let them worry for too long." Sure enough, Sir Hao agreed when he heard this suggestion.
"Gu Zheng, Sir Hao has received your kind intentions. You can go back first. Come back when Sir Hao comes out in two days. Let Sir Hao have a good rest now." You Xing said to Gu Zheng again.
"Okay, Sir Hao, Sir You, Sir Ouyang, I will take my leave first." His purpose of coming here had been achieved. After he heard this, he took the opportunity to leave.
When he reached the hall below, those people saw him coming out and asked about the news above. Gu Zheng reluctantly said a few words and took his leave.
Before Gu Zheng returned home, a loud voice resounded through the area, asking everyone to come to the administration hall in three days. At that time, Sir Hao would personally appear there.
Gu Zheng knew that three days later would be his best opportunity.
Three days later, Gu Zheng, who was recuperating, heard the message again, asking everyone to come to the administration hall in two hours.
Gu Zheng's eyes flashed, and he quickly went out. This place was relatively remote, so he didn't have to worry about others seeing him. He stealthily set off from the side, from the edge of the forest to the back.
Soon, Gu Zheng arrived at the side of the tower. He waited for another hour. When he saw a few people coming out from inside, he felt that there should be no one else, so he went to the bottom of the tower from the back.
Standing below, the tall stone tower stood majestically. It was more than a hundred feet tall, and its shape gradually shrank from bottom to top. It was shaped like a vertebral body. The outside of the tower was decorated with all kinds of birds, beasts, flower petals, flower covers, and corner pillars.
Although it was completely carved out of stone, it still looked magnificent. Sighing with emotion at its height, he really didn't know what to do.
Gu Zheng circled around the bottom before taking out a pair of red gloves. He found a relatively hidden spot and pressed them against the stone wall without further ado.
Originally, Gu Zheng didn't have any hope. How could such a big stone tower be moved so easily?
One had to know that this tower was not an ordinary magic treasure. A world in a grain of sand, and a paradise in a flower. Although he had never been in it, he knew that there was a space on each floor.
Those were several small worlds. This was not a space that was opened by great power. Even if it was not complete inside, it was still a small world.
His current location could also be said to be a small chiliocosm in the Great Desolate Era. The small chiliocosm contained a small chiliocosm. Gu Zheng really admired the old ancestor's idea. One circle after another, and it actually succeeded. Sure enough, the old ancestor lived up to his reputation.
He began to inject his own immortal qi. At first, the immortal qi just circled back and forth in the gloves. It had no effect at all.
Originally, Gu Zheng was ready to retreat when he saw this. Suddenly, he thought of the method that Sir Hao had taught him. It was to let the energy of the gloves circulate and filter again.
With the idea of giving it a try, there was an amazing change. After the second conversion of the immortal qi, it actually passed through the gloves smoothly and came into contact with the stone wall.
After the stone wall came into contact with the immortal qi, red lines began to appear on some of the green stone walls. Moreover, as his immortal qi was injected, those lines began to spread along the walls.
Slowly, as the immortal qi was injected, the lines became bigger and bigger. Soon, they covered the entire stone tower. The crisscrossing red lines flashed with a faint red light, as if it was covered by a spider web.
The tower began to sway slightly, as if it was breaking free from the bindings of the ground.
Moreover, Gu Zheng had an idea that he could shrink it. Just as Gu Zheng thought that he could smoothly put it away, a red light suddenly appeared.
Suddenly, a red light came from the entire pagoda, stabilizing the pagoda. Then, it followed the pagoda's meridians and attacked Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng felt a resistance coming from the pagoda.
Seeing a thick red light quickly coming down from above, Gu Zheng subconsciously wanted to put away his hands. However, he found that his hands were stuck to them. With this delay, the red light entered Gu Zheng's body through the red gloves.
Fortunately, the tremors just now were very slight. If one was not nearby, they would not have felt it. The people outside did not notice anything strange.
Gu Zheng felt the blood in his body burning up. His entire body turned red. He felt a kind of thirst that he had not felt in a long time. He felt as if all the water in his body was about to evaporate.
He could not even control the immortal qi in his body. The immortal qi in his body was still flowing into the tower. He had no way to release it.
Before he could think of a way, the ring on his hand suddenly lit up. He felt the red light in his body being absorbed by the ring.
Although the red light was still flowing into his body, the ring absorbed it even faster. It was as if the ring had been thirsty for hundreds of years. It was as if it had come to a vast lake and crazily absorbed the red light.
When there was no more red light in Gu Zheng's body, the ring actually intercepted the red light halfway. The red light above the stone tower was directly absorbed by the ring. It drew a diagonal line and directly entered the ring.
As the ring absorbed more and more, the red lines on his arm became brighter.
At this time, the Li Ring that strange woman had given him. Usually, he would not have the time to ask about it. However, for some unknown reason, it suddenly lit up. A thin red line extended from under his skin and connected to the ring.
As soon as it connected, Gu Zheng felt a huge burning sensation on his wrist. It was as if his arm was being roasted over a fire. All the energy from the ring was being absorbed by the Li Ring.
Drops of cold sweat dripped down Gu Zheng's head. He did not know why they were in such a situation. The only consolation was that he could still feel the Li Ring's control. It was obvious that the Li Ring was emitting a sense of joy.
It was as if it had been hungry for a long time. When it suddenly saw a feast in front of it, it could not help but gorge itself. Even Gu Zheng could feel that kind of happiness.
Although he could stop the Li Ring at any time, he could feel the Li Ring's aura growing stronger and stronger. He could only endure the pain and let it continue absorbing.
In the end, the red line could not hold on for much longer. After a few minutes, the originally thick red line was thinner than a strand of hair. Gu Zheng felt that he could control the stone pagoda again.
At this time, the burning sensation on his arm was not as hot as before. It was slowly becoming bearable for Gu Zheng. The red line in the middle still did not break. It was still slowly extracting energy from the ring, but the ring did not react at all. It was as if it had accepted its fate.
However, he felt that he could only control about five percent of it. At most, he could only make the stone pagoda shake a little. Gu Zheng continued to control the flow of immortal energy. The more immortal energy he injected, the more he felt that he could control it.
Gu Zheng estimated that if he could control eighty percent of it, he could shrink it into a small pagoda and place it in his hand.
When he thought of this, Gu Zheng first controlled the stone pagoda to stop shaking. However, he could not do anything about the red lines on the pagoda. Fortunately, You Xing was further away. The light was dimmer, so it was impossible to see it without careful observation.
On the veins, some smaller veins were slowly developing to the side. One of them continued to control the stone pagoda.
"Hmm." At the top of the pagoda, the Left Protector was carefully looking at the red glove in front of him. The red glove was emitting a strange aura in midair. He suddenly felt his mind shake.
He quickly calculated with his fingers and discovered that the restriction he had placed on the stone pagoda had been broken. Although he had only placed the restriction casually, if someone wanted to trigger it, they would need the red glove.
This meant that someone was using another red glove and trying to take the pagoda away.
"What's wrong?" The Right Protector saw the Left Protector's face suddenly darken. He quickly asked.
"Someone is trying to take the pagoda in Puppet Town." As the Left Protector spoke, his hands moved quickly. "At this juncture, it seems that some people are restless."
A black light flew out of the Left Protector's hand. It passed through the window and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
The Left Protector took out an almost transparent flying sword and sent out a few rays of light. Then he formed a hand seal and the flying sword trembled twice before also disappearing into the horizon.
"If there isn't anything special, we can't go out. We have to guard this place. I keep feeling that something is wrong. We have to strengthen the formation here," the Left Protector said with a serious expression.
"Okay." In any case, the other party was in charge. He would do whatever he said. "But are you not worried about that stone pagoda? Aren't you afraid that someone will take it away? "
"Of course not, but that pagoda isn't very useful. I left some tricks in it to ensure that I can find it again. Right now, we can't leave unless we activate the protective formation. Pan Xuan has already found one, so it should be enough. Without that one, we'll have to work harder. But if we lose it here, we can only wait for death."
The Left Protector shook his head and continued, "Besides, I've already made preparations. The other party definitely won't be able to escape. It just depends on how lucky they are."
The protective formation couldn't be activated at will. It could only be activated in the most complicated situations. This secret was personally told to them by the Ancestor. Other than the two of them, no one else knew that there was a formation that the Ancestor had personally set up hidden here.
A large amount of light appeared in the hands of the two protectors. A dangerous aura appeared in the air. The formation hidden below was revealed. They began to strengthen the formation bit by bit.
.....
Just as Gu Zheng felt that he had half of the formation under control, a dangerous aura came from above. A black light suddenly appeared in the sky, right above him.
In the next second, Gu Zheng saw that the black light had already descended on the pagoda. It entered from the top of the pagoda.
Under his shocked gaze, a black round hole quickly appeared in front of him. The center of the black hole was exactly where his palm was.
When it slowly formed a round hole with a diameter of three feet, a strong suction force came from inside. Gu Zheng felt that the immortal Qi in his body was like a flood that leaked out of a mouth. It was crazily flowing out and filling up the hole.
Although his control of the stone pagoda was increasing rapidly, he would be sucked dry by the black hole before he could control it to shrink.
He kept a pill in his mouth to replenish himself. However, the speed was too fast. In just a few breaths, he had already lost half of his strength. This black hole seemed to be connected to a certain place. The price for opening it was a sea of immortal Qi.
He took out an almost transparent crystal with a trace of blood-red inside. It was only the size of a grain of rice. He quickly placed the crystal in the center of his right hand. That little thing was picked up in the underground hall.
Judging from the environment at that time, he felt that this should be a concentrated blood diamond. If his judgment was wrong, Gu Zheng still had a backup plan. He had already placed a pill in his mouth and was surrounded by a layer of protection. If something was wrong, he would eat that precious pill.
He guessed correctly. When he extracted the energy from it, a surge of energy surged out. Not only could it completely block the suction force of the other party, but he could also absorb it and replenish his immortal Qi.
In a few breaths, the immortal Qi in his body was almost filled up by the other party. The size of the crystal had only shrunk by half.
Moreover, the ring seemed to ignore this kind of energy and was still sleeping peacefully. Feeling that the energy was still trying to pour into his body, Gu Zheng quickly stopped it. Fortunately, he could control it a little.
However, the other party was absorbing too slowly. Moreover, once the red gloves started to absorb, he would not be able to stop it. Feeling that the gloves were gathering more and more energy, Gu Zheng simply poured all the energy into the black hole in front of him.
As the crystal slowly shrank, Gu Zheng also noticed that the suction force of the black hole was decreasing. As the last bit of energy was poured in, the black hole suddenly emitted a bright light. A terrifying suction force came from inside. Even if Gu Zheng used all his strength, he could not break free.
His vision turned black. In the next moment, Gu Zheng was directly sucked in, leaving behind an empty black hole that was still spinning.
Gu Zheng did not know that this black hole was actually the core of the stone pagoda. The energy it needed was enough to absorb most of the magic power of a peak Grand Immortal.
However, Gu Zheng had the blood essence left behind by Young Master Yu. The energy stored in it was even more shocking. In addition, Gu Zheng deliberately poured it in faster than the protector expected.
Normally, if there was an inexplicable thing absorbing the immortal energy in the body, it would definitely try to break free. If it could not break free, it would be greatly delayed.
However, Gu Zheng did not play by the rules. In order to prevent himself from exploding, he sped up the absorption of the black hole, causing him to open the black hole in advance and be sucked in.
Just as Gu Zheng was sucked in, a longsword streaked across the sky from the horizon and stopped at the top of the pagoda. After circling a few times, it did not find its target and stopped at the top of the pagoda. The entire sword was covered in blood-red light.
On the other side of the hall, Sir Hao was still comforting everyone. No one noticed the black light just now, but this flying sword was too dazzling. Everyone saw it clearly.
In the end, it stopped at the top of the stone pagoda and floated there. Rays of red light appeared from the sword and constantly scanned the surroundings as if it was looking for something.
Waves of terrifying aura came from above. Even You Xing felt a chill in his heart when he saw the longsword from so far away.
If the flying sword attacked him, he would not be able to completely block it. Although he would not die, he would be seriously injured.
There was a familiar aura on it. How could it attract his item? Could it be that the other side knew that someone was stealing the pagoda and had already taken action?
However, he did not know why the Protector did not come personally and only sent a flying sword. Unless he really did not care about the stone pagoda.
"What's going on? There seems to be the Protector's aura on it." Sir Hao was sitting on a chair. He turned his head and looked at the longsword in the distance. Its appearance had interrupted his speech.
The people below were also discussing. The appearance of the longsword attracted everyone's attention. They all looked into the distance. They did not know why a weapon would appear on the top of the stone pagoda. Some sharp-eyed people even noticed that something seemed to be wrong with the stone pagoda.
"Quiet, quiet." Ouyang Ping stepped forward and shouted, "Everyone, don't be anxious. I'll send someone to take a look."
At this moment, You Xing quietly came to the front and said to Sir Hao, "Why don't we take a look?
I'll go take a look and see what's going on. " With their eyesight, they would naturally discover the veins above. Something had happened that they were unaware of.
"Alright, go take a look. I really hope nothing bad will happen." Sir Hao turned his head and looked over, directly agreeing to You Xing's request.
"Brother Ouyang, I'll leave this place to you. I'll go take a look at what's going on." You Xing was now standing in front of Sir Hao and behind Ouyang Ping.
"Alright, sorry to trouble you, Brother You." Ouyang Ping shifted his gaze from afar and was prepared to warn the people below not to move.
"Everyone, don't move. Stay where you are. Sir You will help you …" Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt an extremely fatal feeling.
His hair stood on end as he frantically reminded himself that there was a fatal danger behind him.
Although he had moved his body immediately, activated his barrier, and quickly dodged forward, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He saw a longsword pierce through his barrier and out of his abdomen.
