After resting for a while, they were already feeling much better. Su Nan and the other two exchanged glances, and Su Nan spoke first.
"We are all Gu Zheng's friends. This is nothing worth mentioning."
Elder Qin was speechless when he heard this. He did not expect Gu Zheng to have made such friends in such a short period of time. They were willing to make such a sacrifice for him. This was not a small matter. It was equivalent to betraying the clan. If he was found out, he would definitely die.
It could be seen that Gu Zheng had a natural charm. Elder Qin did not know what happened and misunderstood Gu Zheng's charm.
"No matter what, I still have to thank you." Elder Xiong thought for a while and pulled out three pure white hairs from his body. He rubbed them on the hairs. A light flashed across the hairs, but it quickly hid itself. He then passed it to them.
"There is a trace of my spirit clone in here. If you meet an enemy you can't handle, I can take it out to help you. It should be able to last for five minutes in the middle stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm."
Although he would have to rest for a few thousand years because of this, the other party had saved his companions after all.
This gift was extremely valuable. Su Nan wanted to reject it, but she did not say anything. After struggling for a long time, she decided to accept it for the sake of Little Worm.
When the Zhu brothers saw that Su Nan had accepted it, they took it back as well. They could not resist such a life-saving gift.
After doing all this, Elder Xiong came to Gu Zheng's side and carefully observed the state of Gu Zheng's body.
He immediately saw the faint pattern on Gu Zheng's forehead. It was dimmer than before, and was not as conspicuous as before. If one did not look carefully, it would be easy to miss it.
When Elder Xiong saw the strange pattern, he couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect to see such a pattern here.
Although the pattern was already fading and almost disappearing, Elder Xiong was still able to recognize it at a glance.
Elder Qin looked at Elder Xiong's expression and his heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Elder Xiong, what happened to him? He was fine just now. Why did he suddenly become like this?"
Elder Xiong had already checked Gu Zheng from the inside out. He said with a sigh, "It's fine if he is unconscious. He will wake up after a while. The rest is a little troublesome."
"He was hit by a special seal. This kind of seal only appears in some special races. If anyone kills him in the end, the curse that was planted in their body will turn into this kind of seal. It will attack the opponent's divine sense and seal the opponent's cultivation with the intention of perishing together with the opponent."
"Why is there such an evil incantation?" Elder Qin had never seen or even heard of it.
"Of course, you haven't seen it before. This kind of talisman can only be planted not long after birth, when there is still a trace of Xiantian Qi in the body. Moreover, it requires the sacrifice of at least a Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator in order to activate it. Generally speaking, there are some powerful clans here. In order to protect the children of important figures, they can only activate it when their clansmen are on the verge of death or are heavily injured.
"But don't worry, this was all in the ancient times. Now, this method is probably about to be lost. Now, no clan is willing to lose a Grand Luo. You must know that this is not the era where Grand Luo is everywhere. "
Elder Xiong sighed. His eyes flashed with nostalgia as he recalled the Great Shaman-Demon War. Just how many people were lost back then?
In any case, Elder Xiong did not want to return to that time. He only wanted to stay in one place and live a comfortable life. He did not want to think about the fighting and killing.
"Hiss." Elder Qin could not help but take a step back. He did not expect this method to be so cruel. For a newborn with no future, he had to make such a sacrifice.
He did not know that Elder Xiong was reminiscing about the past.
No wonder Ouyang Ping was so strong. He actually sacrificed a Grand Luo to protect him since he was young. Many people would hesitate if they wanted to kill him. After all, it could be said that they would perish together.
No one had an enemy. If his cultivation was sealed, even some people would not be able to resist. After all, all his accumulations would be wiped clean. This temptation was not something ordinary people could resist.
"Ouyang Ping has such a strong background. How did he get captured? Are you not afraid of offending someone powerful?" Elder Qin asked subconsciously.
"Of course not. Perhaps his family no longer exists and he is the only one left." Elder Xiong glanced at Elder Qin. "Besides, other than the Saints, the Patriarch doesn't care about anyone else. Didn't you see that none of the people he captured were simple? Even you guys aren't from the rare Crane Race?"
Elder Qin thought for a moment. It was indeed so. Which one of his group was not special? Normally, they would not be noticed by the Ancestor.
Based on the Ancestor's character, he would do whatever he wanted. Perhaps some of his companions who were not known to outsiders were also captured and imprisoned elsewhere. Unfortunately, they did not have the time to explore this place.
With such a big thing happening inside, the people outside would definitely think of ways to speed up the recovery of the teleportation formation.
"Is there no way to break it?" Elder Qin asked, unwilling to give up.
"There are two ways." Elder Xiong thought for a moment before saying, "The first method is to find someone with a higher cultivation level, at least higher than the person who placed the seal on him. Depending on the person's cultivation level, the time required will be different. You can slowly remove the seal on him. Even I would need a few years."
"What about the second way?" The other party would definitely not sacrifice a peak Grand Luo. At most, it would be an early-stage Grand Luo.
However, they did not have the time now. Not to mention a few years, they did not even have a few months.
"The second way is to gather materials of the five elements. As long as you put them into his forehead and let him merge with them, he will slowly remove the seal. Every time you remove the seal, his strength will recover a little."
Elder Qin was more depressed now. It seemed that no matter what, Gu Zheng could not temporarily recover his previous state.
"I happen to have a wood element mulberry branch here. It completely meets the requirements. I will give it to him for the time being. No matter what, I cannot let him be unarmed like this." Elder Qin sighed. A branch that was covered in green light appeared in his hand.
Most of the resources here had been used up. Moreover, pure items of the five elements were not easy to find. He had even brought this out from the valley.
He pointed the branch at Gu Zheng's forehead. The green spot on Gu Zheng's forehead suddenly lit up. A green line slowly wrapped around the branch. The color of the mulberry branch became brighter and brighter. It was as if the green line was drawing out its essence.
Elder Qin also let go of the branch, allowing it to float in the air and slowly melt.
In the end, the entire branch turned into a pool of green liquid that slowly seeped into his forehead. The green spot became invisible again. Looking carefully, the original faint green spot had disappeared, leaving only a small scar.
As the green liquid merged into his body, a weak aura appeared on Gu Zheng's body again. Elder Qin roughly sensed it and found that it was only equivalent to the third rank of the human realm.
Elder Qin shook his head. He had already asked around. No one had any materials of the five elements. Even if they had the so-called materials, the purity was not enough. The element had to be at the peak.
This was the only way for now. At least he did not have to worry about him not being able to get out. Otherwise, it would be hard to say.
Elder Qin walked to the side and prepared to take over Madam Qin's job.
When Elder Qin merged a wood element material into Gu Zheng's body, he suddenly realized that the abnormality in his mind had almost disappeared. He also felt that his control over his mind had greatly increased.
Although the lightning, wind, and snow from the other areas wanted to immediately come over, there seemed to be an invisible barrier in the middle, blocking them. Many materialized attacks wanted to break through that barrier, but they were all useless.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng immediately separated a part of his divine sense and carefully walked over from that area, afraid that it was a trap.
He knew that there was no consciousness outside and that he was in a coma. Now was a critical moment, so he could not stay unconscious like this.
Elder Xiong looked at the bird resting on the side and felt the aura on her body. Seeing that she had already fallen asleep, he shook his head.
"It was not wise for you to come out early. You should go back and rest first."
Elder Xiong reached out with his hand, and a drooping fruit skin from the side of Gu Zheng's waist flew into Elder Xiong's hand with a whoosh. It was wrinkled and mottled, and there were many rice-like protrusions on it. It was very ugly, and there was a huge crack on it.
A red light shot out from it in Elder Xiong's hand and enveloped the bird.
After the bird was covered by the red light, she clearly felt her body relax a lot.
Then the bird's body kept shrinking until it was about the size of the fruit skin. Her body flew and was directly absorbed into the fruit skin.
A white light came from Elder Xiong's hand and the crack on the fruit skin closed automatically. The bird returned to where she was before.
Elder Xiong looked at the still unconscious Gu Zheng.
She did not release the bird. She planned to keep the bird by her side. If she did not rest well after coming out early, she might not be able to reach her peak state again.
For her future, she had to take her away no matter what.
After dealing with all this, Elder Xiong looked around. A person walked into the stone tower with a smile and quickly escaped through the passage.
Everyone else was brimming with confidence. The victories on both sides of the battlefield had caused a long-lost smile to appear on their faces.
Whether it was the bitter training in the valley or the fight against fate ten thousand years ago, they were all full of hope for the future.
On the other side of the protective array, a few figures rushed back from outside.
"Lord Protector." The group of people in charge had already returned. Now, only a few of them were waiting at the passage, hoping that the Lord Protector would bring good news. The others were gathered at the drill ground.
Even though many people were complaining, the person in charge pretended not to hear and continued to carry out the plan. That was because Su Nan, who should have been brought back, was not here.
If she had not been kidnapped halfway, the possibility of this happening would have been lower. At this time, the other party did not dare to come out, afraid that they would not be able to escape even if they did not die.
Otherwise, the Zhu brothers would have betrayed everyone, just like Su Nan. They did not return halfway and took Su Nan away.
It was no wonder that he had volunteered to escort Su Nan back. At that time, she had even agreed to it.
When I returned and did not find them, I was shocked and angry. I realized that I had been tricked. I did not think that I would suffer such a big loss.
But who would have thought that the two brothers had been here for ten thousand years, even longer than me? Maybe they had been bewitched by Su Nan a long time ago. Now, who knew if there were still accomplices here? If they sacrificed themselves and caused some damage, it would be a huge crime.
Right now, the person in charge could not tolerate even the slightest movement and was determined to kill some of the Germinal Organization members.
And at the center, where Pan Xuan was, they could only wait for the Protector to return. They could not find a way to go up.
They did not have to wait for too long. When they saw the Protector return, they were shocked. The Left Protector's face was purple, and there were only a few Da Luo puppets left behind.
It was a huge loss. It was obvious that the Protector had failed.
The Left Protector did not care that they had returned. When he knew that Ouyang Ping had died, he knew that the operation had failed. He only hoped that they did not lose too many people.
But he did not know that this battle had caused them to lose all the strength they had accumulated for ten thousand years, almost causing them to give up on this place.
"Let's go. We'll talk later." The Left Protector did not know that Su Nan had been captured and escaped. Now, the most important thing was to check the situation at the tower. Nothing must happen to Pan Xuan. He hoped that it was not too late.
The Right Protector brought the remaining puppets to the drill ground.
The Protector and his companions were lucky enough to climb the tower together. Although the Protector was in charge of everything here, he had not entered even once.
With the Left Protector leading the way, everyone quickly arrived at the top. They saw Pan Xuan lying unconscious on the ground with a pool of blood on the ground. Her face was pale and it seemed like she was seriously injured. However, the aura around her body was abnormally active.
The Left Protector flashed and appeared beside Pan Xuan. He pressed down on Pan Xuan's shoulder to check, afraid that there were other problems.
Under the Protector's strange gaze, a smile appeared in the Left Protector's eyes. In the end, even his originally gloomy face showed a smile.
"Protector, what's going on? What happened to Miss Pan?" The Left Protector could not suppress the doubts in his heart and asked.
Miss Pan was heavily injured, and the Left Protector was still smiling.
"Miss Pan is fine. Let her rest here." The Left Protector helped Pan Xuan up and placed her in a place with abundant spiritual energy.
"Protector, look at Miss Pan's aura. She seems to have reached the Da Luo realm." At this moment, someone behind him sneaked up and said to the Protector.
The Protector was shocked. He quickly sized Pan Xuan up again. He could not hide the smile on his face.
That's right. Miss Pan was slowly advancing towards the Da Luo realm. However, it was so slow that no one could see it.
The Left Protector did not ask what happened. Everyone left the place together. The Protector and the Left Protector were on the way to the drill ground.
"Protector, I made a serious mistake. Please punish me." The Protector did not dare to hide his mistake. He only told the Left Protector about Su Nan now.
"It's not your fault. Even I would be fooled in that situation." The Left Protector pondered for a moment and did not pursue the matter. Instead, he comforted him for the first time.
This made the Protector feel flattered. The strict protector did not punish him. It seemed that it was all because of Miss Pan. He thought that he would be severely punished.
Soon, the group arrived at the drill ground. Everyone's emotions had calmed down under the Protector of the Right's comforting words.
At this moment, a strange crystal ball was placed in the middle of the drill ground. It floated alone in the air. On the outside, it was sparkling and translucent like a flawless crystal. Inside, there was a pitch-black ball that looked like a black gemstone. From the outside, it looked like a large eyeball.
When the Right Protector saw the Left Protector, he nodded and did not say anything.
Then, the Left Protector came to the other side. The two of them stood properly and raised their wrists at the same time. A red line separated their wrists and two streams of blood were poured onto the eyeball.
The blood started to seep in from the outside. The originally translucent exterior slowly turned red. The two protectors only stopped when the entire exterior was dyed red.
This time, their faces became even paler. The continuous battle and the loss of blood in their bodies had weakened them quite a bit. However, they did not plan to go out again. If it were not for Old Xiong showing mercy at the end, they might not have been able to make it back.
At this moment, the crystal ball was completely red. It looked more like a red eyeball.
Two red rays appeared in the eyes of the two protectors at the same time. The black gemstone in the middle suddenly twisted and started to move. Clouds of red mist started to gather in front of it.
After a long time, a very thick red beam shot out from the eyeball. It directly pierced through the void and instantly passed through the red mist above the teleportation array.
Under the amplification of the red mist, the entire beam of light increased in size and directly shone into the huge eye in the sky.
"We can't let them have it easy." The Left Protector muttered to himself.
This was the best plan they had discussed on the way back. Not only could they increase the pressure on the other side, forcing them to use the Spirit Stabilizing Pearl. As long as the other side used the Spirit Stabilizing Pearl, they would not be able to escape. The pressure on them would also be reduced.
Moreover, this world could continue to be maintained.
"Crack!"
The eyeball cracked into pieces and shattered into thousands of pieces. The black gemstone in the middle turned into a wisp of black mist and disappeared.
Although the Left Protector was reluctant to use it, the Spirit Stabilizing Pearl was more important. Otherwise, the Left Protector would rather let the other side escape than use it.
If one looked carefully, one of the two protectors was actually blind in one eye. It was just covered up by an illusion.
With the help of the clouds attracted by the other side, they could increase the power of this spell.
When the huge eye in the sky received the red beam of light, its pink appearance turned red. A huge beam of light surged out from the eye and shot directly above the red teleportation array. There was a red circle there.
