Gu Zheng quickly rushed forward and stood in the open space. He felt the bindings on his body disappear, and he felt much more relaxed.
The tower in front of him had become a mini stone tower, and 90% of it was covered in red. Only the tip of the tower remained. It was a miniature stone tower that was exactly the same size and fit perfectly in his palm.
Gu Zheng looked at the ring that was still on the bridge. The color on his body had dimmed a lot, and he felt that he had used too much energy. He waved his hand, and the ring began to fly towards him.
It was very slow, just like Gu Zheng's normal walking speed. It was as if it was also hindered, but it wasn't as strong as Gu Zheng's.
Gu Zheng looked at it struggling to fly towards him, and his heart skipped a beat. He looked at the stars in the sky and had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the ring continued to move forward a bit. This time, the three stones flashed together and quickly fell down like meteors.
Because they were too fast, there was an intense light around them, and they were several times more powerful than before. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the side of the ring.
One from the front, one from the side, and one from the back arrived at the same time. After a violent explosion, the ring slowly flew out. It was a bit damaged, and it looked like the spirit light had dimmed a lot.
Gu Zheng's expression was still serious because in the next moment, the largest stone fell from the sky. It was still 10 meters away from the bridge, so it couldn't come out in time.
The large stone looked very slow, but it quickly rushed onto the stone bridge and crashed into the ring.
The contrast between the ring and the stone was like a weak girl meeting a strong man. The strong man grinned and grabbed the girl, but she couldn't resist. She could only tremble and wait for her fate to come.
Gu Zheng was still hoping for a miracle to happen. This was something that the Shura people had refined using precious materials.
The miracle didn't happen, and the ring knew that it was in danger. It was covered by a red circle, and when the large stone removed the circle, it miraculously stopped for a moment.
However, it was only able to delay it for a moment. Then, the red circle shattered and the ring was shattered by the large stone.
Stone, on the other hand, took advantage of the momentum and rushed through the black fog on the other side of the bridge, disappearing without a trace.
The ring that had brought him so many benefits had been shattered just like that. This made Gu Zheng very sad. Although its presence was very weak, it had brought him a lot of benefits.
Putting aside the fact that he could ignore the baleful aura in the air, he had saved a lot of trouble and saved a lot of precious green liquid. Fortunately, he still had a big bottle, so he didn't have to worry about the corrosion of the baleful aura for the time being.
Secondly, he could conceal his aura and disguise himself as an Asura. Even You Xing, who was at the early-stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm, could not see through his disguise.
He wanted to sneak to the south to take a look, but unfortunately, he didn't have the chance.
However, he didn't mind losing this identity. It was a good opportunity for him to meet up with Elder Xiong and the others. After all, the Shura were either dead or injured. There wasn't much value in this place.
If not for accompanying Pan Xuan, he would have already returned to the valley.
Now that he felt his aura, he had returned. It was no longer the aura of an Asura. He had to be careful not to be seen by an Asura. Otherwise, trouble would be inevitable.
Gu Zheng turned around and walked towards the small tower. This should be its core. Grabbing it meant that he had complete control of the stone tower outside.
However, he heard a tremor coming from behind him. Gu Zheng turned around and saw five irregular rocks coming from the other side of the bridge. They were rumbling as they charged towards him.
No way. Gu Zheng immediately took out the judge pen and small sword and commanded them to rush over. Two of them still had remnants of the rings on them. It was obvious that they were the big stones from before.
He didn't know why they had become like this. They were rushing towards him.
The judge directly drilled a hole in the middle of the stone. Then, the inside suddenly exploded. The stone was directly blown into pieces.
The small sword quickly circled around one of them a few times. A golden shadow flashed back and forth, and the stone was cut into dozens of pieces again.
Sensing that the stone's hardness had decreased, he let out a sigh of relief. In just a few moments, the stones were all cut into even smaller pieces.
Before Gu Zheng could relax, the remaining stones on the ground suddenly floated into the air and flew towards him at an even faster speed.
Gu Zheng quickly controlled his magic treasures. The small sword only used sword qi to destroy a portion of the stones. The judge pen also released a black light to block a portion.
There were still many stones that couldn't be stopped in time. They all flew towards Gu Zheng.
A layer of yellow light rose from outside, and then Gu Zheng was submerged by the stones.
"Cough cough." After a long time, Gu Zheng got up from the ground. He brushed away some of the debris on his body. Strands of blood flowed out from his mouth.
His defenses had been broken in the end. The remaining stones swarmed over and submerged him.
Gu Zheng sat down cross-legged and began to inspect his body. The judge pen quietly floated in front of Gu Zheng. The small sword flew around him with an uneasy appearance.
After a careful inspection, he found that his situation wasn't too good, but it wasn't too bad either. His injuries weren't too serious. He would be fine after a few days of recuperation.
Feeling the medicinal pill in his mouth, he almost couldn't resist swallowing it. He hadn't expected the power of these stones to be so strong. They weren't as strong as he had imagined.
It seemed that the large stone from before had given him too strong a feeling that it had confused him.
Gu Zheng clutched his chest and stood up. Now, every time he breathed, he would feel a faint pain in his lungs.
He put away the small sword and judge pen that were still outside and slowly walked towards the small tower. He didn't know what was going on outside, but he hoped that no one would notice what was happening here.
Stumbling from the stone under his feet, Gu Zheng viciously stomped on it as if venting his dissatisfaction. Only then did he walk in front of the small tower with satisfaction.
The small tower just happened to be floating in front of Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng gently held it with his hand. At the same time, his divine sense had already entered it. He quickly gained complete control of the small tower. He knew how to move and put it down.
However, there was still a white imprint on the top of the tower. It seemed to be indicating something.
Gu Zheng didn't dare to place his own spiritual imprint inside to show his sovereignty. In the depths of the tower, Gu Zheng clearly felt a sleeping aura.
It was probably the old ancestor's imprint, but it seemed to have already fallen asleep. As long as he didn't refine it into a tower, it wouldn't be disturbed.
He had only gone in to explore it. He roughly knew how to control it.
It really wasn't easy. Gu Zheng felt that he was unlucky no matter what he did. This place was simply his nemesis. No matter what he did, there would always be unexpected things waiting for him.
When he went back, he would have a good rest and wouldn't come out again.
However, this tower couldn't be put into the space. He had to hold it with his hand. This was really troublesome. It was too obvious.
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes and directly picked up a relatively large stone on the ground. This was left behind by the previous attack. Now, it had completely turned into an ordinary stone.
A foot of golden light emitted from his finger. He carved it according to the appearance of the small tower. Looking at the stone tower that only had five floors, Gu Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
If something happened, he could also buy some time. Now, Gu Zheng thought that no matter what he did here, he had to consider the worst case scenario. He had to be prepared.
Just as Gu Zheng placed the small tower in his hand, the stone tower outside began to undergo a huge change. The red lattice on the tower suddenly covered the tower.
The stone tower trembled violently and began to slowly rise. Even You Xing could feel this change.
At this time, You Xing and Ouyang Ping were still fighting. The buildings beside them, except for the administrative hall, had all been turned into ruins.
The Shura people who had been here before were forced to move to a faraway place to prevent them from dying unjustly there.
"You Xing, so this was your plan." Ouyang Ping couldn't help but roar when he saw the changes in the stone tower.
"I don't know. Maybe you Shura people felt that there was no one here and it wasn't safe, so you wanted to move." You Xing continued to fight while pretending to be innocent.
In his heart, he was thinking that Gu Zheng was really amazing. He actually succeeded.
"Bullshit, everything here is under Sir Hao's control. How could others have a way to move the stone tower? You must have gotten the method from somewhere and deliberately chose this time to move it. I was wondering why you chose to reveal your identity today. So that's why."
Ouyang Ping cursed. Everyone knew that the stone tower was sent over by the protector. Even if it was moved, it was the protector who moved it.
"I didn't expect you to be able to hide from the great ancestor and hide until now without revealing any flaws. You're too scheming. If I had known earlier, I would've killed you first."
Seeing that the other party was still playing riddles with him, his lungs were about to explode.
With a flash, Ouyang Ping gave up on the previous spell. He wanted to go to the stone tower to see if he could stop the other party from moving the stone tower.
If he lost the stone tower, he wanted to defect and work for the valley. However, when he thought about what he had done, he would die faster if he went over to command.
However, he realized that You Xing was already in front of him with a smile. As if he had guessed his thoughts, he blocked him halfway.
Waves of terrifying aura emerged from Ouyang Ping's body. He was going to go all out.
"Get out of the way. If you can guarantee that you didn't move the stone tower, I can forget about what happened before and let you go." Ouyang Ping had a gloomy expression on his face as he threatened You Xing.
"That won't do. I'm going to settle it with you now. How did you treat your brother in the past?" You Xing also stopped smiling and said with a sinister expression.
There were actually 3 people before, but Ouyang Ping deliberately spoke ill of that person to the protector behind his back. As a result, that person's cultivation base was sealed and he was tortured to death by Ouyang Ping.
It was because he had some small conflicts with him in the past that he waited for an opportunity to take revenge. Ouyang Ping only found some clues by chance, and at that time, he dealt with him carefully.
Although Ouyang Ping did not recover his memories at that time, he was still shocked by his viciousness. On the surface, he was at a disadvantage, but he still could not avoid killing him.
Otherwise, Ouyang Ping would have done it long ago when he thought that there had to be a person to keep him in check.
If it was not for the convenience of Gu Zheng's movements, he would have gone up and taught him a lesson. The current situation was just what he wanted.
You Xing's eyes began to burn with the flames of war. 'Let's settle this.' You Xing did not expect to be able to escape because after the other party found out about his betrayal, they only needed to give some Shura authority.
As long as he was seen by them, he would have to listen to them. Whether he lived or died, it would not be his turn.
When they broke out of the encirclement, how could he not show up? Perhaps he would have to cripple his own martial arts so that he would not be hurt by others.
What was he afraid of? If he could drag Ouyang Ping down with him, it would be great.
Ouyang Ping was frightened by You Xing's gaze. It really looked like he was facing death with equanimity. He was sure that if he could not escape in time, the other party would really dare to drag him down to hell with him.
The viciousness in Ouyang Ping's eyes decreased slightly, but when he saw that the stone tower in the distance was rapidly shrinking, he did not care about the present and immediately rushed to the side first.
You Xing was like a roundworm in his heart. No matter what, he would appear in front of him.
"Since you're courting death, come at me." Ouyang Ping, who was furious, pounced over. The two of them gave up on all the magic weapons and began the most primitive fight.
After a few tremors, the stone tower quickly turned into a palm-sized pagoda and floated in its original position.
The red sword was still the same. No matter what, it would stay at the top of the stone tower. The red light at the tip of the sword constantly scanned the surroundings. Now that the sword was much bigger than the stone tower, it looked like the stone tower and the sword were resisting each other.
At this moment, Yun Ming saw the tower rising. The leader was desperately trying to get out, but everything was the same as before. They thought of all the methods, but they could not break through the light curtain again.
Yun Ming and the other three Zhou Neng watched the stone tower shrink. When everything stabilized, the small tower that had shrunk dozens of times was floating in front of them.
One of the Shuras wanted to take the stone tower away. He used his hand to grab it, but at a distance of a finger, he was blocked by an invisible air cover. He felt that there was a repulsive force repelling him. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break through this distance.
He did not believe it and took out his weapon. He wanted to slash it and cut off the repulsive force.
"What are you doing? The leader is still inside." Yun Lai saw his companion take out his weapon and hurriedly stopped him.
"Hai Fu, stop, you idiot." A very weak voice came from the tower. It was as soft as a breeze. If one did not listen carefully, they would not be able to hear it clearly. But the leader was angrily cursing from inside.
This Shura called Hai Fu narrowed his eyes and looked at the source of the voice.
He went straight into a narrow door. The leader had also shrunk dozens of times. He was not even half the size of a finger. He was attacking the light curtain in vain, trying to get out.
"Don't worry. This stone tower is so hard. Even if I shrink, I can't hurt it. Now, I will break the restriction outside and take you back. Then, I will ask the protector to let you out." Hai Fu knew what he was capable of. He did not think that he could destroy the stone tower.
"Alright, then you should pay more attention." When Hai Fu heard the weak voice, the weapon in his hand flashed. He slashed out of the small tower.
He controlled the direction to make sure that after destroying the repulsive force, his weapon would hit the outside if he could not control it.
Although he swore that he would not be able to destroy it, if he accidentally destroyed the outer wall, he would be committing a great sin.
Under everyone's worried gazes, his weapon collided with the small tower's protection. A white light flashed and Hai Fu was sent flying while spitting out blood.
Not only did he not break the barrier, he was also slightly injured. This made everyone feel helpless against the small tower. They felt that they could not do anything to it.
Although the leader was also worried, he still hoped that Hai Fu would succeed. It was like the enemy was forcefully taking back the stone tower. If the enemy took it away, their fate would be uncertain.
"You guys, form a simple joint attack formation." The leader shouted himself hoarse. He was afraid that the other party could not hear him. "Don't worry about anything. Hurry up and save us."
In the face of life and death, most people could not face it calmly.
You Xing and Ouyang Ping's battle could even be felt here. It was getting more and more intense.
Yun Ming and the others quickly stood in their positions. They understood the leader's thoughts. Hai Fu was watching from the side because he was injured.
White mist began to condense on their bodies bit by bit. The one in front straightened his body and focused.
The two behind him walked with complicated steps. Then, they struck Yun Ming's left and right shoulders with their palms and transferred their power to him as much as possible.
A large amount of mist began to appear in Yun Ming's hands. His face began to flush. He transferred his power and that of the two people behind him into the weapons in his hands.
The weapons began to emit a bright light. "Ah!" Yun Ming shouted and slashed at the small tower in front of him.
One of them had a shocking momentum and the other had the potential to split the sky. He slashed at the side of the small tower.
They did not dare to attack the red longsword, so they took a step back and aimed at the bottom layer.
When they were about to make contact, the small tower turned into a light and flew back with a whoosh.
They could only watch helplessly as their attacks landed on the ground. A cloud of dust rose and covered them.
It seemed like someone had appeared behind them before they attacked and took the small tower back.
A red light flashed in Yun Ming's eyes. With a "ding", an even more intense sound rang out beside him. It was as if someone was shouting at him. That sound made Yun Ming's ears tingle.
Before they could fan away all the dust, a wave of air directly sent them flying. They could vaguely see three figures in front of them. However, there was also dust spreading over there. It was quickly surging toward them, so they could not see clearly.
The four of them were blown far away. Their chests felt like they had been hit by a heavy hammer. Each of them vomited a few mouthfuls of blood. One of them had a lower cultivation and directly fainted. He was still vomiting blood.
"Gu Zheng, why is it you?"
