Because the small red sword came down from above, it pierced through the small pagoda and landed on Gu Zheng's abdomen.
After leaving a big hole in Gu Zheng's abdomen, it finally dissipated.
Gu Zheng was hit by the last bit of power. He could not move at all and his blood seemed to have frozen.
In Gu Zheng's mind, the whole world stopped spinning and his mind went blank.
If nothing went wrong, Gu Zheng would be suffocated to death by the additional power. There would not be a single speck of dust left in the world.
The power of a Peak Grand Heavenly Realm was not something an ordinary person could imagine.
However, Gu Zheng had taken the elixir previously. It was a miraculous elixir that he had obtained with Pan Xuan in the first level of the Concealed Realm. Now, there was a huge amount of energy in his body that he had nowhere to vent. Previously, Gu Zheng's body was not injured at all.
After seeing Gu Zheng's current state, it immediately unleashed its strongest state and pulled Gu Zheng back from that state. Taking advantage of the strongest state of the elixir, it started to remove the strange energy in his body.
In a few breaths, most of the strange energy in his body was eliminated.
After the strongest state of the elixir, the power of the elixir started to entangle with the other party.
However, Gu Zheng's consciousness had already returned. He was gasping for breath. Even the air that was filled with blood seemed to have become sweeter.
He felt that in less than a second, it was as if hundreds of thousands of years had passed. It was too scary.
When the stone pagoda shattered, a few rays of light flashed and a few figures ran out from the hole in the small pagoda in a sorry state.
They were still in shock. Anyone who encountered such a frightening scene would be like that.
Previously, they were facing the entrance of the pagoda and could not see who was holding the small pagoda. They were very curious about who kept the pagoda.
Looking at his face from the side, they cried out in shock. It was the voice that Ming Yuan had heard at the beginning.
Finally, Gu Zheng saw them surrounding him. Seeing the concern in their eyes, Gu Zheng's heart moved and he thought of a good idea.
The other party did not suspect Zhang Xuan's motives at all. All he did was ask Zhang Xuan a few questions as usual, and Zhang Xuan answered them without any suspicion at all. In fact, he did not even notice that Zhang Xuan's aura had changed.
However, he knew that he couldn't hide it from Ouyang Pingyi for too long, especially when he saw Ouyang Pingyi's vicious eyes looking at him from afar. It was like a sharp arrow that wanted to pierce through him.
Now that he had entered the forest, he began to put some distance between himself and his pursuers. Ignoring his injuries, he began to run with all his might. However, his injuries were quite serious, and they seriously slowed down his speed.
He was unable to reach his former limits.
Moreover, this small pagoda couldn't be stored in the space. It had to be held outside, which was too conspicuous.
Right now, all he wanted to do was to find a quiet place to hide and recover from his internal injuries. That way, he could use the little bug to hide his information.
This was enough for the average Shura. They couldn't tell, but they had to be wary of those who were stronger.
He had only walked a short distance, and before he could even think of a place to hide, he suddenly felt that he had been locked onto.
He didn't know what method those people used to change his position. Not long after, he felt a group of people chasing after him.
In his current state, he couldn't fight them at all. He estimated that he couldn't even beat one of them, so he could only focus on running.
In any case, the effects of the pill were very strong. Moreover, the red longsword had consumed a lot of energy, so he only sped up. Right now, it felt like the two of them were evenly matched. Neither of them could do anything to the other.
If only he had three more days. With the help of the pill, he could recover eighty percent of his strength. Unfortunately, he didn't have that time.
Gu Zheng didn't hesitate. He took out the green liquid and gulped down half a bottle. Amidst the refreshing feeling, he felt that his condition was improving. The wound in his abdomen began to heal.
After persisting for half a month, Gu Zheng's speed inevitably slowed down. In fact, he was now following a diagonal line, heading southeast. He had already entered the central forest a few days ago.
However, that feeling still lingered in his heart. It was very urgent. He knew that the pursuers behind him were still not far behind, and they were relentlessly pursuing him.
He also knew that if his family's treasure was stolen, he would also pursue relentlessly.
He really wanted to go straight to the Black Peak, but he felt that if he went straight, he would actually be a fox immortal. The other party would use this time to catch up.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and wanted to take a big detour back to the valley.
However, he didn't dare to stop now. He wasn't familiar with the method Xiao Chong taught him. He had to use the day to cover himself completely from the inside out.
If he simply covered himself up, he would be discovered as soon as he got close. The margin for error was too low. This was too passive.
The last bit of green liquid had been drunk by him. Although the wound on the outside had already healed, and the strange energy in his body had been completely removed, his injuries were not healed at all. The power of the pill had long been exhausted.
Now, he felt waves of pain coming from his injuries. His head was also a little dizzy. He could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Although his injuries wouldn't get better, they wouldn't worsen either.
It was a pity that he didn't have time to use the backup plan he had prepared. He didn't have time to detonate the fence and release those puppets.
If he had detonated it at that time, there would have been obvious mana fluctuations. He was afraid of exposing himself.
Suddenly, a strong wind appeared beside him. Feeling a figure beside him, Gu Zheng was shocked. He didn't know who could appear beside him without a sound.
Without thinking, he slapped his side with one hand and hurriedly summoned the Magistrate Brush. He wanted to attack the other party from both sides.
"Gu Zheng, it's me. Quickly stop." A familiar voice sounded in time. At the same time, his wrist was firmly grasped.
Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Zheng hurriedly put away the Magistrate Brush. Only then did he take a look. It was You Xing.
At this time, his whole body was in a sorry state. However, his complexion was much better. It seemed that he didn't have any major injuries.
"Senior You, why are you here?" Gu Zheng didn't stop. He said as he flew.
"I found an opportunity to get rid of Ouyang Ping. However, it won't be long before he finds out and chases after me again." You Xing looked at Gu Zheng and said with a frown.
"You made me look for you. If I hadn't left a mark on you, I wouldn't have been able to find you. However, you can't hold on any longer. Hurry up and escape with me. As long as we enter the Mysterious Peak, everything will be fine." You Xing had seen the small pagoda in Gu Zheng's hand before. He didn't expect the other party to succeed.
It seemed that Elder Xiong's eyes were indeed very good.
"Let's go. We can get rid of those little tails behind you in the blink of an eye." You Xing had long known about the Shura behind them. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have much time, he could have made them disappear from the world in a short while.
However, once he made a move, Ouyang Ping would arrive here in less than a minute. If he discovered Gu Zheng, it would be terrible.
"I'll give you this small pagoda. You go back first." After Gu Zheng heard You Xing's words, his face was a little uncertain. In the end, he made up his mind.
"What, you're not going back with me?" You Xing said in surprise, "What else do you want to do outside by yourself? Your identity will be exposed very soon. At that time, everyone will come to capture you."
"It's fine. They're all recuperating right now. Normally, they won't come out." Gu Zheng was thinking about the uneasiness in his heart. If he went back, what if they followed him to find Elder Xiong? It would bring them a lot of trouble.
He didn't tell You Xing because he remembered the blood he left behind when he was injured. They probably used it to follow him.
Following that, Gu Zheng quickly told You Xing the method to control the small pagoda. He showed the small pagoda flying towards the money and quickly took off the red gloves for You Xing.
You Xing went forward and grabbed the small pagoda, then returned to Gu Zheng's side.
"Are you sure you don't want to go back with me?" You Xing didn't know what he was thinking. Could it be that he still wanted to see his little lover? Other than this reason, he really couldn't think of anything else.
Of course, Gu Zheng didn't know what You Xing was thinking. He just didn't want to cause trouble for Elder Xiong. If he knew Elder Xiong's location, he didn't think that they could stop two peak Zenith Heavenly Immortals.
"I'm sure. Hurry up and leave. I have a way to get away from them." Gu Zheng shook his head and insisted on his point.
"Okay, then you be more careful." Since Gu Zheng insisted, You Xing didn't hesitate anymore. If he was late, Gu Zheng would be discovered by Ou Yangping.
He accelerated, turned into a white light, and disappeared in front of Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng ate another medicinal pill to replenish the energy in his body. Then, he turned and headed south.
After Ming Yuan and the rest followed him for a while, Ming Yuan let out a "Eh?".
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? "Hai Fu was right beside him, and he could hear the doubt in his voice.
"Let me see." Ming Yuan let the silver rod calibrate the position again before he said, "Now, Gu Zheng's route is heading south. If nothing goes wrong, he'll reach the southern border in seven days."
"In that case, it's very likely that Lord Gu was really wronged by Lord Ouyang."
"Don't say that first. Yun Ming, can you still follow him after he reaches the border?" Lord Yuan didn't deny everyone's opinion and asked Yun Ming, who was behind him.
"No, everyone knows that once we enter that place, there will be a Concealment Formation blocking us. If Gu Zheng enters, even if I can't sense it, the patrol team will confirm it for us." Yun Ming shook his head.
"That's true. I also hope that all of this is a misunderstanding." Lord Yuan sighed and didn't say anything else. The group continued to chase, but unknowingly, their speed was not as fast as before.
Gu Zheng flew south with his head down. Of course, he knew that there was a barrier there. However, he planned to eat an Protection Pill when he was about to enter.
This was given to him by Pan Xuan. It could hide his aura and was very useful for ordinary tracking. Gu Zheng believed that the other party wouldn't have any high grade items.
One day was enough for him to find a place and set up an Concealment Formation. They definitely wouldn't be able to find him.
A few days passed in a flash. At this time, Gu Zheng's pale face became even paler.
He didn't stop flying all the way and didn't have any time to rest. Although he had pills to replenish himself, he still couldn't replenish himself.
Now, there wasn't much immortal qi left in his body. However, he just needed to persevere for a while.
Not far in front of him was the border. A wide road had already appeared in his eyes. As long as he passed through it, he would reach the mysterious south.
However, when Gu Zheng was very close to that path, he stopped.
Everyone knew that there was a restriction on the other side. If he went over rashly, he would definitely be discovered.
Next, he just needed to eat an Protection Pill and carefully walk along the edge.
He had thought of this plan many times and there was no problem.
Gu Zheng came under a big tree. The trees at the edge were nourished by the spirit qi on the other side. They looked a little lush and looked more like a tree than the ones inside.
Gu Zheng took out the Protection Pill and just as he ate it, he realized that there was a shadow above his head. A golden net fell from the sky and in the blink of an eye, it was about to land on his head.
Gu Zheng subconsciously took out his small sword and wanted to tear the other party apart.
A figure suddenly came out from below. Without making a sound, he slapped the back of Gu Zheng's head.
Gu Zheng didn't realize that there was someone behind him. The fatigue of many days had lowered his vigilance. Suddenly, he felt a pain at the back of his head. Then, his eyes rolled back and he fainted, lying weakly on the ground.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to open a business the moment I left home. Brother, your sense of smell is still sharp." The person below laughed. He was very thin and small. Now, he was pointing his hand at Gu Zheng's side. That round ball looked like a treasure.
"But the other party's head is really hard. He didn't die. But it's a matter of a while. Wait for me to take this treasure and then I'll send you on your way." The thin man stared at the round ball.
"Wait, thin man. This person is one of us." A somewhat fat man jumped down from the tree and stopped him from attacking Gu Zheng.
"What's wrong, brother? It can't be so coincidental." When the thin man heard this, he immediately jumped up and looked at Gu Zheng in a circle.
"It can't be wrong. Look at this." As he spoke, the fat man took out a round gem from his hand. It was shining slightly. From the outside, it looked like there was water inside, swaying back and forth.
As he spoke, the fat man carefully placed the gem near Gu Zheng's neck. A transparent water droplet floated up from Gu Zheng's neck. Then, without any obstruction, it merged into the gem.
"It really is. What a pity. We haven't opened a business for so many years. Can't we just pretend that we didn't notice it this time?" The thin man had a regretful expression. He coveted the other party's treasure and wanted his brother to pretend that he didn't see it.
"What are you thinking? Did you forget our promise?" The fat man said with a serious face.
"Okay, okay. I know. But he seems to have been hunted down. Now he's seriously injured." The thin man had a look of disdain. He had been tortured by this sentence countless times.
"Apply some medicine on him first. Hide his identity and bring him back to our secret base." The fat man immediately ordered the thin man. He began to clean up some traces.
The thin man responded and took out a jade bottle. He began to pour out some white powder.
Under the thin man's control, the powder slowly covered Gu Zheng's body. Something amazing happened. When Gu Zheng's entire body was covered by the powder, Gu Zheng's aura became that of an Asura.
If Ouyang Ping were to see it, he wouldn't be able to tell.
Soon, they finished cleaning up. Under the thin man's unwilling expression, they carried Gu Zheng on their backs and quickly disappeared.
After a while, the group of seven, who were also somewhat tired, arrived. When they arrived, they couldn't find any traces of the other party. One had to know that the other party didn't hide his tracks before. Why did he start to wipe them when he arrived?
Sir Yuan looked at Yun Ming behind him and signaled him to relocate Gu Zheng's position.
Yun Ming waved the silver staff in the air. The silver staff emitted a silver light again. However, this time, the silver staff started to spin rapidly in the air. He couldn't determine Gu Zheng's position at all.
"What's going on? Did the other party purposely erase their tracks?" Sir Yuan looked at the spinning silver staff and asked in confusion.
"Is it really like what Sir Ouyang said? If that's the case, if we lose him, we'll have a big problem."
Sir Yuan glared at him fiercely. When he saw him shut his mouth, he asked, "Do you have any other methods?
Do you have any other way to find out which direction he went? If he went south, don't ask too much. Perhaps he did this to keep it a secret. If he went around somewhere else, we'll chase after him with all our might. "
"Yes, but wait a moment." A red thread appeared on Yun Ming's fingertips. He gently twirled it around the silver staff.
Soon, many blood-red threads appeared on the silver staff. Yun Ming took a step back and bit the tip of his tongue. A layer of blood mist was spat out.
When the blood mist touched the silver staff, it was all absorbed by the threads. It became even redder.
Yun Ming took out the small bottle that contained Gu Zheng's blood and poured it all out. It floated in the air.
The drops of blood were crystal clear and gave off a sweet smell. Yun Ming waved his hand and condensed the blood into a thin line. His hand danced in the air, creating an illusion. The red line kept appearing in the air.
After waiting for a while, Yun Ming's forehead was dripping with sweat.
Then, he suddenly pulled back his hands. The red line shot out from his palms and densely adhered to the silver staff. After the silver staff received the red line, it began to spin wildly. Soon, it formed a red circle.
Yun Ming's face paled and he retreated to the side.
"Will this work?" Sir Yuan asked.
"Yes, but wait a moment." Yun Ming's words made others feel much weaker. This magic technique consumed too much energy.
Everyone patiently stood to the side. Sir Yuan was also impatient. After wasting so much time, if it was proven that he was the enemy and Gu Zheng escaped, he would bear the greatest responsibility.
After a while, the silver staff began to slow down. The thinner end pointed south.
A red line shot out from the silver staff and quickly rushed south. However, just as it crossed the middle of the road, it suddenly disappeared into the sky. It was as if something was obstructing it.
However, Yun Ming didn't show any surprise on his face. Instead, he was delighted.
He said to his companions, "Sir Gu definitely went south. I dare swear on my life."
Yun Ming could feel that everyone was more or less relieved. Sir Yuan was also in a good mood.
