"We'll talk about it when the time comes. You'll be there to cover me." Gu Zheng smiled bitterly.
"You think too highly of me. Once we take the Spirit Stabilizing Bead, the Protector will definitely know. He'll definitely expect us to rush in and arrange for people to stop us."
Gu Zheng knew that Su Nan was telling the truth, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"We'll take it one step at a time. Besides, we might not be able to get the Spirit Stabilizing Bead."
The two of them started walking towards the only high-rise building.
The building was covered in colorful lights and had excellent protection. No one could break in from the outside. There was only one entrance.
"Creak". Su Nan pushed the door open and walked in.
Gu Zheng followed closely behind. The bottom floor was empty except for a shining array. It was a short-distance sound transmission array. Other than that, there were no stairs leading up.
"What should we do next?" Gu Zheng asked after looking around.
"I don't know either. Actually, it's my first time here too." Su Nan also looked around carefully, but she didn't find anything.
"But there's another way to go up directly. It depends on whether you mind." Su Nan laughed strangely and walked into the teleportation array.
"What method? Don't keep me in suspense." Gu Zheng still hadn't reacted. "Let's hurry up. As long as it doesn't take my life, anything is fine."
"You said it yourself. Don't blame me. This will save us a lot of time. There's no need to go up level by level." Su Nan confirmed again.
"No, tell me what you think," Gu Zheng said anxiously. Su Nan was still talking in riddles at a time like this.
"Miss Pan, Gu Zheng is here to find you." Su Nan directly activated the teleportation array and said softly.
Gu Zheng finally understood why she kept asking for his opinion. Gu Zheng smiled helplessly and returned to his original appearance.
The two of them could feel a gaze sweeping over them. Soon, in a corner, a light staircase slowly appeared. At the same time, a wooden door appeared.
"Let's go." At this point, Gu Zheng decided to end things with her. He didn't want her to think about him anymore.
He didn't do anything. How could she like him for no reason?
At the same time, Pan Xuan kept asking herself.
She hadn't known him for long. How could he leave an imprint in her heart that she couldn't get rid of?
Maybe it was fate that made her save him. When she woke up from her injuries, she found herself on a man's back...
. that was the first time she had such intimate contact with a man........................
.........................................
......................................................
...................................................................
It was only then that Pan Xuan came to her senses. Looking at the familiar face and familiar eyes, she stood up from the ground.
The two of them met again, but neither of them knew what to say. The scene fell into an awkward silence.
"Aren't you going to the front lines? Why are you here?" Pan Xuan broke the silence.
"I'm here to tell you that I'm your enemy. It's just like the rumors say." Gu Zheng didn't know what to say.
"I know. Are you going to leave? You came to see me. "Pan Xuan turned her head to the side. She looked sad.
"Yes, that's only one reason. We're here for the Spirit Stabilizing Bead on your back." Gu Zheng decided not to go along with her words. After all, as long as he revealed his identity, once he left, it meant that the two of them had nothing to do with each other.
"Why do you need it? You can just go back. Can't you escape from here?" Pan Xuan knew that the Protector had brought a huge army of puppets to defeat the other side.
But since the other side had been preparing for so long, how could they not be prepared?
Pan Xuan didn't have much hope that the Protector would be able to destroy the teleportation stone in time.
She knew that the other side wasn't at a disadvantage against two Protectors. He even had the advantage.
Pan Xuan believed that they couldn't let all of them escape. At least some of them had to be left behind to lessen their punishment.
The Protector knew this, which was why he left Pan Xuan in the town. It was a perfect reason. That way, there wouldn't be a stain on her.
"We want to take more people with us. That way, I'll be safer." Su Nan interrupted.
"What? Prince Su, did you come with him for this?" Pan Xuan's face was full of surprise.
Behind him, a white and a red bead were constantly flying. The red bead was their target.
These two beads were her mission to protect.
"Yes." Su Nan admitted.
This shocked Pan Xuan. Who was Su Nan? She had heard of him in Shura.
Initially, he thought that Zhang Xuan was Gu Zheng's friend, and that Zhang Xuan would help him escape from this place.
Pan Xuan could understand. After all, with Su Nan's status, he couldn't ask people to leave.
But his actions meant that he was betraying his own race. He would be put on the wanted list and be hunted by all Shura.
"Don't look at me like that. I've already prepared for the worst." Su Nan looked at Pan Xuan and wanted to say something.
Pan Xuan didn't say anything. She didn't know what Gu Zheng had done to make Su Nan betray his own race for them.
She knew what Prince Feng had done to him. She thought he was doing it for his pet. There were rumors that he had left his pet here. Otherwise, why would Su Nan come here?
"You know that the Protector has set up a formation here. Once it's activated, you won't be able to break it." Pan Xuan said slowly.
"However, this barrier in front of me is something none of you can break. Furthermore, once I activate the magic array, the protective array outside will be replaced with a new barrier. Although it will consume a lot of energy, you will not be able to leave. Even your previous passes will no longer work."
Su Nan and Gu Zheng looked at each other. They really didn't know this. Su Nan had used his pass to get in.
They didn't expect the Protector to use everything to prevent any accidents.
Plus, with Pan Xuan around, they couldn't force their way in. Some tricks wouldn't work on Pan Xuan either.
"There's another formation below me. Once it's activated, even a peak Grand Heavenly Immortal wouldn't be able to break it. The two Protectors have been reinforcing it for thousands of years."
"Hiss." This was really beyond their expectations. In that case, their initial thoughts were wrong.
"But I want to know something." Pan Xuan suddenly took a step forward and approached the barrier. Her eyes flashed with gentleness.
"I just want to know if you've ever liked me, Gu Zheng." Pan Xuan looked straight at Gu Zheng and suddenly threw out this question.
Gu Zheng was caught off guard by this sudden outburst. Just a moment ago, they were still talking about the array formation. Why did they suddenly ask about him?
Gu Zheng looked at Pan Xuan's calm face. He didn't care about Su Nan's expression.
He thought about it from the first time he saw her, to the last time they parted underground. He filtered through everything. After interacting with her for the past few days, he finally made a decision.
"I've never liked you. In my heart, you're my good friend. A friend that I can entrust my life to."
This was Gu Zheng's direct thought. He didn't want to lie to this girl, especially when this girl had liked him before.
Su Nan didn't say anything. She was prepared to pull Gu Zheng back if something went wrong.
Pan Xuan's calm face instantly had two streams of tears flowing from her eyes. Her eyes were filled with sorrow as she looked at Gu Zheng.
"I didn't lie to you. It doesn't matter if you believe me or not."
Pan Xuan didn't hear what Gu Zheng said after that. She said so much just now to see if he was worth it.
He was telling the truth. She knew it too. But her heart was in so much pain that even her breathing had stopped.
The entire world was a blur. She didn't even know where she was.
She only saw Gu Zheng saying something to her anxiously. His mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't hear anything.
She wanted to respond to his words, but her body was already giving out orders.
Gu Zheng went forward and slapped his hands on the shield in front of him, causing ripples. His face was a little distorted.
After a long time, Pan Xuan finally reacted. Although her mind was in a daze and was filled with noise, she could still hear Gu Zheng calling her name.
His voice was filled with anxiety. It warmed her heart. Although he didn't like her, he still cared about her.
Gu Zheng looked at Pan Xuan and suddenly tears fell. But then, a faint blood color flowed out from her eyes.
Gu Zheng called her name in an attempt to get her attention. But she didn't react. Instead, her eyes were about to form tears of blood.
Gu Zheng wasn't even afraid of attracting the protector's attention. He directly pounced over and attacked the shield to get her to react. He didn't want her to be hurt because of him.
Perhaps his actions had an effect. Pan Xuan blinked her eyes and her tears stopped.
"Gu Zheng."
A super hoarse voice came from her mouth. Gu Zheng almost didn't hear it clearly.
Pan Xuan directly tore off the shield and stood naked in front of them.
Su Nan raised her eyebrows. But she still stayed in place and looked at them. But her eyes were looking at Pan Xuan enviously.
This was the so-called coincidence, Su Nan thought to herself.
"Are you okay?" Gu Zheng quickly took out a pill and scattered it in her mouth.
"No need. I'm fine. I just thought it through. It's good to be friends. At least we're not enemies."
At this moment, Pan Xuan felt her soul become empty. It was as if she had gone through a baptism. It was as if she had broken through some barrier. The sadness in her heart had completely disappeared. Maybe she had really thought it through.
Some things couldn't be forced. Maybe fate was playing a joke on her. She had to let go when she should.
She had thought about it many times when she was alone. All kinds of messy thoughts had been entangling her. She didn't know what to do in the torment. She didn't know how to face it. Only by being busy with work could she temporarily forget.
Until just now, everything seemed to be clear. She seemed to have accepted it completely.
At this moment, Pan Xuan still didn't understand what she had experienced. She directly grabbed her hand and stopped her.
"You're injured." Pan Xuan felt that everything about her was very sharp. Just by touching her, she knew her situation. This was a feeling she had never experienced before.
"It's fine. You'll be fine after you recuperate." Gu Zheng pretended to be indifferent. He realized that Pan Xuan had broken through that barrier. Then, she wouldn't be advancing to Grand Heavenly Realm soon.
"This is for you. Thank you for telling me the truth and not lying to me." Pan Xuan gave the pill that the two of them had obtained to Gu Zheng. "You'll encounter more intense battles in the future. You might be able to use it."
At this moment, Pan Xuan's voice was much better. It was less hoarse and more lively. She really treated Gu Zheng like a friend.
"You guys can take it. I won't stop you. Just treat it as a gift from a friend." Pan Xuan smiled and stepped aside magnanimously.
However, the tearful expression on her face didn't fade. It made one's heart ache even more.
"This is for you." Gu Zheng knew that the other party didn't make such a concession just because of an old friend. He took out something from his space. "The next time we meet, I'll cook my best dish to treat you. You must know that my culinary skills are unparalleled."
Gu Zheng handed her a very rare ingredient. The green grass was covered with small brown grains. However, only Gu Zheng knew how to use it.
"Okay." Pan Xuan accepted it solemnly. "Hurry up, in case I regret it."
After Pan Xuan finished speaking, she turned her head to the side and looked at the scenery outside the window. From here, the sky in the distance was dazzling. It seemed to be the collision of countless energies, causing beautiful fireworks.
Gu Zheng kept the pill and walked in with Su Nan.
In a special place at the back, two little fairies, one red and one white, were dancing happily. Countless mists swayed back and forth.
Both of them looked at the red ball. They couldn't see anything special about it.
However, Su Nan knew that it contained a huge amount of energy. Even a peak Grand Heavenly Immortal couldn't fully control it.
This time, they only used a little bit of the energy inside. It was enough to complete their task.
The reason why Elder Xiong couldn't guarantee that many people could escape was because when you left, the world's origin would directly attack you.
Although the strength of the attack was based on one's cultivation and couldn't exceed a peak Grand Heavenly Immortal, it was just like the usual heavenly tribulations. The rules here were like this. No one could escape.
Even if the protector didn't leave through the teleportation array, they would still be attacked. There was no distinction between friend and foe.
Su Nan took out a jade bottle and directly sucked the red ball in.
When the red ball was taken away from where it was, the entire world shook. Many baleful auras started to appear uncontrollably from the corners.
Even the mist from the eyes in the sky started to increase. However, the change was very slow and no one noticed.
Many people were still surprised at what had happened to cause such a huge commotion.
As for the Left Protector, who was commanding the Grand Heavenly Immortal puppet, he actually lost the aura of the Spirit Stabilizing Pearl without sensing that his formation had been touched.
This shocked him. He didn't know what had happened. If the Spirit Stabilizing Pearl was lost, even if it was because of Pan Xuan, the final punishment would still fall on him.
To be honest, even if only one of them could live, he would die without hesitation.
The Grand Heavenly Immortal puppet he controlled was affected and left a scar on its body. Fortunately, the puppet didn't feel anything. This bit of injury wouldn't affect its battle power.
The Left Protector hurriedly stabilized his mind. The battle was very intense and he couldn't be distracted. He could only deal with them first and then continue to think about the Spirit Stabilizing Pearl.
"Xia Tian, quickly check the current team for me. See who was missing when we came here." How could the Left Protector not understand that he had put up so many defenses? After many tests, the enemy still managed to infiltrate. This was too infuriating.
"Yes, sir." The person in charge hurriedly went down and ordered someone to quickly count the names. Right now, the assistance of the battle was still the puppets. The opponent's formation was very strong. Moreover, the opponent's Dharma treasure was even more difficult to deal with.
Right now, everyone's main focus was on destroying the opponent's Dharma treasure. Otherwise, it would be difficult to charge through.
Soon, a few people flew back and reported the information they had gathered to the person in charge.
"Sir, there are only two people who aren't here." The person in charge hurriedly came to the Left Protector, "One of them is our clansmen. He was suddenly heavily injured when he came here. I personally observed him and it's true. He isn't very suspicious."
"The second is Su Nan. On the way here, he said that sir had something for Pan Xuan, so he went back halfway."
"Su Nan." The Left Protector coldly spat out these two words. He really didn't expect it to be him. If Su Nan stood in front of him now, he would definitely tear him apart.
Although he didn't believe it, the only person who could fool Pan Xuan and catch her off guard could only be him.
Although the heavily injured clansman was suspicious, even if Pan Xuan didn't say anything, she would definitely be on guard.
It was hard to guard against a thief in one's own home. He was someone no one would have expected.
But he might have been misunderstood. However, he had already sealed the passage and the enemy couldn't enter.
Although he couldn't rule out the possibility that he was being held hostage by the enemy, he was currently the most suspicious.
"Xia Tian, hurry up and inform everyone. If you see Su Nan, immediately stop him and inform me immediately. If he tries to barge in, kill him without mercy." The Left Protector's murderous words came out of his mouth.
Since the other party had stolen the Spirit Stabilizing Pearl, then it was most likely that the enemy needed it. Now that there were spies all around, as long as she came, she would definitely be discovered.
"Yes, I will do it immediately." The person in charge was drenched in cold sweat. When he found out that Su Nan didn't return, he felt that something was wrong and immediately agreed.
Soon, an order that made everyone confused was passed down. However, everyone still obeyed and strengthened the defenses between them. They wouldn't let anyone pass through.
