Just as Elder Xiong was rushing to send people away, a red beam of light pierced through the void. Then, the giant eye above spat out a giant beam of light.
"Not good." Elder Xiong immediately shot out a white light from his mouth and entered the stone tower.
Immediately, the stone tower emitted an intense light and began to expand layer by layer. It quickly flew up into the sky. Everyone was forced to retreat some distance under the explosion of the Spirit Qi. A person who had just entered was directly ejected out of the tower.
In the blink of an eye, the giant tower had already surpassed the red teleportation circle. The tip of the tower directly faced the giant red beam of light.
Rings of red and white light continuously surged from the top. The red mist was directly scattered into countless clouds by the enormous energy. The immense spiritual pressure could be felt even from such a high distance.
The black cloud saw that many people below were pale. It seemed that they were affected by the impact from above. He then shook his sleeve and a black ray of light flew out.
In the next moment, layers of black light appeared in the sky nearby. A translucent shield covered everyone and blocked the spiritual pressure from above. Only then did the people below feel better.
Seeing the stalemate above, the stone tower suddenly shattered in mid-air. Elder Xiong groaned and his face was slightly flushed.
A red beam that was many times smaller than before shot at the teleportation circle. The outermost layer of the teleportation circle flashed with red light. Many fist-sized red crystals continuously fell from the sky.
While everyone was trembling in fear, the teleportation circle still managed to block it. The outermost layer of red light had dimmed significantly. There were some cracks on the top layer. Some of the red mist leaked out from there.
Before everyone could relax, the red mist above gathered together again. Suddenly, it pressed down by a large portion and almost reached the teleportation circle.
"Look at the tunnel." Outside the tunnel, there were already some surging lightning. Now, all the lightning outside was boiling.
Obviously, the teleportation circle was slightly damaged. The suppression of the red mist was at its lowest.
At this moment, because there was no protection from the stone tower, everyone could feel the pressure from above.
Although there were only a few lightning bolts jumping around the surface, the lightning bolts that were as thick as thighs emitted a terrifying aura.
Other than Big Luo who had the confidence to rush in, the others were fearful.
A peak Jin Xian wanted to test the power of the lightning, but just as he got closer, a huge bolt of lightning jumped out from inside.
Even though he was already prepared, his protective shield, in addition to the defense of his Dharma treasure, was instantly broken.
Without even a scream, he fell down like a shooting star.
The people below were in an uproar. They hurriedly caught him and found that he had fainted. The power above was much stronger than they had imagined.
Everyone unconsciously looked at Elder Xiong. There were still more than three hundred people here, and most of them followed Elder Xiong. Because Elder Qin's subordinates had lower cultivations, most of them left.
Elder Xiong didn't expect this to happen. If it wasn't for the stone tower, he wouldn't have been able to open such a large teleportation array.
Initially, he had predicted that the worst-case scenario would be to open a ten-foot teleportation array and spend a year to find the Eldritch World. Then, he would use another year to send the people away.
Because they couldn't get close to the stone tower in the past, Gu Zheng was the most outstanding one in the valley. He had the idea of giving it a try and successfully seized the stone tower.
After taking back the small tower, he had enough spiritual energy. The teleportation array on his side had expanded many times, becoming a ten-thousand-foot giant.
But at the same time, the efficiency of exploration and transportation was greatly increased. However, it also attracted more terrifying clouds. But the stone tower with endless spiritual energy was enough to keep the terrifying clouds outside.
But Asura's side was seriously injured, and yet he could still launch such an attack. It seemed like he underestimated his opponent. Under normal circumstances, such a strong attack wouldn't be possible.
Elder Xiong didn't expect that the two of them would each destroy an eye in exchange for a temporary burst of power.
He could block the top for a while, but he couldn't do it indefinitely. At most, he could let a few dozen people escape, and he would be powerless because he had to maintain a certain fighting strength at all times to not give the other side an opportunity to take advantage of.
A distorted sound came from the sky. Elder Xiong knew that he had to go up. Without the stone tower's spiritual energy, the teleportation array couldn't last that long.
At this time, someone no one expected stood up.
"I forgot to tell you. I brought this thing out of the tower. Maybe it can help you." Su Nan called out to Little Worm and had him take out the thing she had put away. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted.
Little Worm excitedly flew in front of Elder Xiong and took out a very ordinary jade bottle. Su Nan had been afraid that something unexpected would happen, so she had given it to Little Worm to keep for her.
Fortunately, she had done so. Otherwise, it would have been confiscated by the person in charge.
"Elder Xiong, let me help you. I can swallow it and release the energy inside." Little Worm was also half a Shura. At least holding onto the Spirit Stabilizing Bead for a few days was no problem. A few days was enough to get everyone out.
Little Worm took out a small blood-red bead. The people around looked at it curiously. It looked like an ordinary item, but no one could see through it.
Elder Xiong looked at Su Nan in surprise, then quickly glanced at Gu Zheng. He hadn't expected him to be able to steal something like this. Now, it was a timely help.
"Thank you, Little Worm. But we don't need your help. We have this." Elder Xiong patted Little Worm's head affectionately. Little Worm closed her eyes in comfort. She liked Elder Xiong's aura very much. Just being by her side made her feel at ease.
Elder Xiong took out a red glove. It was the one Gu Zheng had given to You Xing to take back with him when he gave the stone tower.
A white light shone from Elder Xiong's hand, directing the red glove to hold the small red bead firmly in its hand. A red light shone from the glove, making the red glove look even more enchanting. Then, it flew upwards at high speed.
In the blink of an eye, the red glove had reached the edge of the red mist. The lightning seemed to have not seen it. It continued to jump back and forth in amusement. Without hesitation, it dove into the mist and continued to fly upwards.
When the red glove entered, the red mist seemed to have met its nemesis. It scattered to the side, automatically opening a path for the red glove.
When the red glove reached the center, it suddenly stopped. Below, through the slowly closing clouds, a bright red light could be seen shooting out from the red glove. The light directly pierced through the thick layer of clouds.
One by one, the red light appeared outside the clouds. The entire outer layer of the red mist was riddled with holes.
Instantly, the pressure in the air was greatly reduced. The sound that made one's teeth ache also disappeared.
The red lines suddenly disappeared together. A red sun suddenly lit up in the sky. The entire red mist below was helplessly melted away.
And the red mist above was directly pushed up by a mysterious wave. The red mist that filled the sky was directly raised by a lot. It was even higher than before.
The lightning on the surface of the teleportation formation shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye. Very quickly, it returned to its original size. It was even smaller than before, and its power was even weaker.
Everyone was overjoyed. A small sun hung in the sky. Below it was a red glove. Red mist constantly circled around it. It was hazy and gave off a sense of mystery.
A red gas flowed down from the sun. It continued to replenish the energy of the teleportation formation and maintain its operation.
Because the energy was too rich, the originally misty gas turned into liquid. It was like a waterfall hanging in the sky. It was a spectacular sight.
Elder Xiong had been here for so long. He had long since tried to decipher this world. Although the results were poor, he was at least much better than Little Worm when it came to the use of some superficial knowledge. After all, her cultivation was still there.
"Elder Xiong, what do we do with those people?" At this time, Elder Qin came to its side. He was very happy about the changes above. But now, there were more than ten people below, including Gu Zheng, who were unconscious.
They couldn't just leave them here. After they left, one could imagine how the angry Asuras would torture them.
"Let everyone leave first. I'll take a look at their situation. If it doesn't work, I'll think of something." Elder Xiong glanced at Gu Zheng. He was still unconscious and didn't seem to have any intention of waking up.
"Mm." As the threat on the surface of the passage was greatly reduced, there was no need for everyone to wait for their bodies to recover to their perfect state.
Just like that, a day passed in an orderly manner. Basically, everyone had left. Even those with minor injuries were treated by Elder Xiong personally and escaped. Now, only Big Luo and a few who were severely injured were left.
Even the three Asuras and Little Worm left after looking at Gu Zheng.
The place that was originally bustling with people now felt unusually deserted as a breeze blew past, bringing up clouds of dust.
Those Big Luo were now saying goodbye to each other. It was time for them to leave this place.
Although it would be difficult for them to meet again in the future, many of them didn't directly say where they were staying for the sake of their reputation. However, many of them had formed deep friendships here.
"Brothers, I'll take my leave first. Look for me at the Dream Cloud Swamp when you're free. Just tell them that I'm the Black King Dragon and no one will dare to bully you there," Hei Yun said boldly.
After bidding farewell to the others, Hei Yun left his address. He was still looking forward to meeting up with his old friends in case someone passed by there.
As soon as he finished, Hei Yun seemed to feel that he was being a little pretentious. He felt a little embarrassed. Since when did he become so wishy-washy? He immediately swept up a black cloud and rushed into the passage, not giving anyone a chance to reply.
"I didn't expect Hei Yun to be a little reluctant to part with everyone. I've been a little pretentious. I'll be waiting for everyone at the Dragon Hall. It's located beside the Linluo Nation of the human nations. If you're lucky enough to pass by, you can rest at the hall.
We'll welcome you with open arms, "Daoist Si Nan said with a smile. He cupped his hands towards everyone and casually threw out the remaining half of his horsetail whisk. He then disappeared in front of everyone and left the place.
"Haha, everyone is so polite. However, I don't have a fixed location. I'm wandering around the Untainted Land. Who knows where I might die? If I'm lucky enough to meet you again, I'll definitely drink with you and get drunk."
A strong man walked out. His face was full of sideburns. He looked more like a wanderer of the Jianghu. They liked to wander around. Wherever there was good stuff, they would rush over without fear of danger. They enjoyed the feeling of living on the line of life and death.
After he finished speaking, he stamped his horns and a small hole appeared. He then jumped up from the sky and rushed into the passage, disappearing again.
One by one, they bid farewell to everyone. Although they left their names and addresses, the people in front couldn't hear them. It was really fate that brought them together again.
In the end, only the Old Man Qin and his wife were left. The couple came in front of Elder Xiong and bowed deeply.
"Elder Xiong, I know we can't help you much in the future. However, if you need anything, just let us know at any time."
Elder Qin took out a green leaf and handed it over. The leaf emitted a faint breath of life. There were some strange leaf veins on it and some liquid could be seen flowing inside.
"We extracted some green liquid and compressed it into this leaf. I guarantee that it can be used outside. At the critical moment, it can release a large amount of life energy. I know you don't like it. However, if you meet someone who needs it, you can bring him to the Forest of Divine Trees to find us. Even if we're not there, someone will definitely help him."
Elder Xiong looked at it for a long time before he reached out and took the leaf. He agreed without saying anything.
Elder Qin thanked Elder Xiong again. The two of them turned into a green light and rushed out of the passage one after the other.
Now, there were only some unconscious people left.
Elder Xiong sighed. He smeared a light on the people in front of him to protect them from entering the passage unharmed. Then, he threw them in one by one. If their body protection was broken by the passage, they might really die inside. It was impossible to control them to come out in time.
Under the red circle, there were only two people left. They felt that someone was secretly spying on them from afar. However, Gu Zheng's eyes were still closed and he didn't wake up.
"There's no time." Elder Xiong knew that once the other party found out that there was nothing here, they would definitely bring the Daluo puppet over. He wouldn't be able to protect Gu Zheng from the other party's attack.
However, Gu Zheng's cultivation was completely sealed and he couldn't protect himself inside. Although the passage was very safe, that was only for people above the Sky Immortal realm.
Elder Xiong took out a colorful brocade box. He opened it and there was a pearl inside. It shone with a white light. One could vaguely see a seven-colored light hidden in the depths of the pearl.
He looked at it longingly and then placed the leaf back into the box. The pearl flashed and bits of green Qi were drawn out from the leaf. Elder Xiong didn't notice it at all. Then, he slapped Gu Zheng's chest.
The brocade box magically turned into a piece of light. It passed through Gu Zheng's clothes and imprinted on his chest. One could vaguely see the light. However, the brocade box shone with multicolored light as it struggled to come down.
Elder Xiong forced out a drop of blood from his finger. Then, he forced out a drop of blood from Gu Zheng's hand. He first dripped it on one of the threads. Then, he dripped Gu Zheng's blood on the other thread. A multicolored light flashed and the brocade box didn't move. It just stayed there quietly.
Elder Xiong raised his finger and Gu Zheng's body slowly floated up. Then, Elder Xiong waved his hand and Gu Zheng charged into the passage like an arrow.
Gu Zheng smoothly passed through the barrier outside and created a ripple on the surface of the teleportation array. Then, like a fish entering water, he disappeared.
The inside of the passage was light red. A long transparent barrier was firmly connected to the white light on the other side. The outside of the passage was pitch-black. It was terrifying.
Elder Xiong saw the red light flash from the teleportation array. He knew that the other party had successfully left. Now, he could let go of the obsession in his heart and leave.
Seeing a few familiar auras coming from afar, Elder Xiong chuckled. Then, a white beam of light shot towards the teleportation array.
Elder Xiong's body flashed and he disappeared. The moment before the white beam of light completely converged on the teleportation array, the red circle flashed as usual and a person successfully left.
Then, the white light hit the bottom of the teleportation array. There was a bright spot there that was different from the rest.
There was a huge explosion, and a faint red liquid flowed out of the teleportation array. Like dominoes, a crack appeared at the opening, and it slowly extended upwards.
The sound of glass shattering continuously reverberated in the air. By the time the group of people in the distance realized that something was wrong and began to speed over, the entire huge teleportation array had already shattered. Specks of red mist began to float out from the top.
The group of people underground could only watch as the teleportation array completely disappeared before their eyes.
There was silence below. After a long time, a figure suddenly rushed into the sky and grabbed the glove and the red bead in the sky.
After the bead was put away, the strange color attracted by the teleportation array gradually disappeared. Soon, the sky returned to its unchanging state.
"Let's go. Let's go back." After he came down from above, he didn't even look at what had happened. He directly fled into the distance.
He didn't come here to fight with her. He came here to see if he could keep the teleportation array. He had a way to keep it running for another half a year.
He believed that in this vast environment, there would definitely be some people wandering outside. He could completely attract all of them to the end and wait for them to come. He could basically catch all of them in one fell swoop.
However, the other party's actions made his plan fail. Naturally, he was very angry. After taking away their bead, he naturally had to go back.
"Yes, Lord Protector." The others obeyed. They all turned into shadows and disappeared. Soon, there was no one left.
Not long after, this place would return to how it was before. No one would know that a great battle had happened here.
