"What happened?" The people below looked from afar, but they did not see anything.
"There's a lot of purple smoke coming towards us. Let's go!" The person on top shouted at everyone as he rushed over.
That purple cloud made people feel fear. It was the same color as the little bug that controlled them. More importantly, they could feel the frightening feeling even from a distance away. It was as if there was a great flood and ferocious beast inside, making people unable to resist it.
Seeing how anxious his tone was and how his face was a little twisted, everyone understood that the situation was urgent. They immediately carried the injured people and retreated in the opposite direction, away from the mountain range.
Everyone fled with great difficulty. At this time, the light shield above the island was still flickering. It was still working, causing everyone to only be able to flee at a low altitude.
Fortunately, this was because there were already many cracks on everyone. Suddenly, a huge hole would appear. It was so dark that they could not see the bottom.
"Everyone, be careful. The purple smoke is catching up." There was always an immortal who was in charge of watching the back. The speed of the purple cloud was beyond everyone's imagination. In just the time it took to burn a stick of incense, it had already caught up.
Everyone's body surged with protective shields. Even the unconscious wounded on the ground had some protective shields cast on them to guard against the impending danger.
Everyone was constantly watching the back. A purple smoke suddenly appeared behind them. It moved forward at an extremely fast speed and quickly enveloped everyone.
Everyone's eyes were covered in a purple haze. It was as if there was a purple veil between heaven and earth blocking everyone's vision.
"This is nothing." A person looked curiously at the purple smoke outside the shield. He did not feel anything wrong.
Just as he finished speaking, the purple smoke that covered the outer shield suddenly flashed. Everyone felt their bodies stiffen. The mana in their bodies began to stagnate. It was difficult to circulate.
The outer shield of the two severely injured people was broken without the support of others' mana. In the blink of an eye, countless purple smoke surrounded them.
The bodies of the two people were rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a short while, only two white skeletons were left. Their flesh and blood disappeared into thin air.
This made everyone panic. Everyone was struggling to maintain their shields. There was no way to save them.
Gu Zheng carefully sensed the purple smoke outside. There seemed to be something familiar inside. However, he could not guess what it was. Moreover, he could not do anything about it.
At this time, Xiang Xiang, who was inside, suddenly took out the blue ball. A blue screen blocked the outside, perfectly isolating the purple smoke. The purple smoke moved around the screen.
"Brother Gu, these things are so annoying. I feel like I hate them from the bottom of my heart." Xiang Xiang raised her head and said.
"Senior, can you help us?" At this time, an injured immortal suddenly said..................
.................. ".............................
Everyone saw that this was indeed the case outside. Because the area of the protective shield was almost touching them, it could only barely cover their bodies.
This made the immortal look disappointed. Although he didn't know how big the island was, with their speed, it was obvious that they wouldn't be able to escape in time. Now, even the sky was filled with immortal energy.
"However, if you don't resist, I can put you in. This way, we can avoid the smoke outside." Xiang Xiang's words came out of her mouth.
She couldn't bear to see the other party die. However, she was indeed powerless. She had already used all her strength to support the blue screen.
When the immortal heard this, he looked at the blue pearl in Xiang Xiang's hand. At this moment, it was flashing with a mysterious light.
"Please help me, Miss Xiang 'er." The immortal didn't even think about it because his shield had already begun to flicker. At the same time, he felt that his body was not good.
Just based on the fact that the other party was treating him, the other party's heart wasn't bad. Moreover, if he didn't do this, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.
"Don't resist." Xiang Xiang picked up the blue pearl in her hand and gently blew on it. A blue stream emerged from it and quickly surrounded the immortal's body until he was completely covered.
The blue light flashed slightly and the stream retracted. The immortal completely disappeared.
The others continued to move forward silently. Soon, two immortals couldn't hold on anymore and were willing to ask Xiang Xiang to help them. Xiang Xiang accepted their request and took them all in.
Young Master Mo and his housekeeper, who seemed to be seriously injured, stared at them with determination. They didn't seem tired at all.
"Wait." Gu Zheng, who was moving forward at full speed, suddenly stopped. The others also stopped and looked at him in confusion. They didn't know what had happened.
At this moment, the earth was already trembling. All kinds of trees on the side had already collapsed. It seemed that this island was going to sink soon. Why did they stop if they didn't dare to retreat?
"I heard someone calling for help over there." Gu Zheng pointed to their side and said. At this moment, the surroundings were very noisy. Now, there seemed to be no sound.
"No, senior, maybe you heard wrongly." The others listened attentively. There was no other sound. Their ears were filled with rumbling noises.
"I want to go over and take a look." Gu Zheng shook his head and pulled Xiang Xiang directly in that direction. Because the voice disappeared in a flash, Gu Zheng could clearly distinguish that it was senior Liu's voice.
Although the others also wanted to go alone, Gu Zheng was the strongest here. They could only avoid any accidents by following him. Although there were some who could only follow him, they could only go with him eight times.
In just a few minutes, a small white shield appeared in front of everyone. There were at least a hundred people inside who were panicking.
A white stone platform was propping up a barrier around them. Not only did it block the invasion of the purple fog outside, it also stabilized the area they were in.
However, the light shield was now flickering. When Gu Zheng arrived, he saw that the stone platform was already cracking. It was a sign that it was about to break.
When they saw Gu Zheng and the others here, they were overjoyed and shouted to save them. Gu Zheng saw senior Liu in the crowd at a glance. At this moment, he was also surprised.
"Hurry up and put them away. Don't waste time." Gu Zheng glanced around and said to Xiang Xiang.
Without any hesitation, Xiangxiang Bead raised the blue pearl in her hand. A turbulent river flowed out from it with an unstoppable force. It broke through the white light's protective shield. Before the purple mist could rush in, the hundred people inside were all swept away by the monstrous waves.
As long as they were swept in, they couldn't resist at all and were directly taken in by Xiang Xiang. For these people below the Celestial Immortal Realm, there was no need to ask for the other party's permission. They were powerless to resist.
They only saw the shield being broken. Before they had time to be angry and surprised, they found that they had appeared on a spacious island. This was a place that Xiang Xiang had specially prepared for them.
Everyone was at a loss. They didn't know where this place was. Fortunately, the immortals who came in before stabilized the situation and let everyone know where they were, so they didn't panic.
They were all rejoicing that they had escaped death. Some of them couldn't help but cry loudly. That was because nearly half of them had already died. Only one person had taken out his family's heirloom treasure and struggled at death's door for a while.
If Gu Zheng had come a little later, none of them would have been able to escape.
Gu Zheng continued to escape after saving these people. At this moment, they were flying at a low altitude. Because the ground was completely broken at this time, traces of black Qi surged up.
When he saw this abnormal black Qi, Gu Zheng finally understood what this island was for.
The purple fog was actually the magic array he had encountered before, and the black water was very likely drawn from below. The two were mixed in some way and refined into a blue liquid.
However, Gu Zheng didn't know what this blue liquid was. He only knew that it must be something incredible.
The water gate below was teleported to this island. If Gu Zheng didn't guess wrongly, this was the place where the strange snake was imprisoned.
From their discussion, the earliest batch of people had died. However, he knew that this place had existed for tens of thousands of years. It was even longer than the existence of the Asura Mystic Realm.
However, they mainly abducted people in the mortal world and almost never touched those conspicuous people. Furthermore, they only secretly transported a few hundred to a thousand people every few decades. On average, only a few people went missing every year. Even if there were only a dozen or so people, it was really too inconspicuous.
Usually, the number of people who went missing every year was many times more than this. Even if they were all at the first level with higher cultivation, too many accidents happened in the world. Thus, no one paid much attention to them.
However, for almost a thousand years, people from the Star Alliance went missing for no reason. After investigating, they discovered that there seemed to be a kind of power. However, the other party's actions were too secretive. Thus, they had been hiding behind the scenes to investigate.
This island might have been an empty island at the beginning. In the end, it was discovered and modified. In fact, it had been extracting the black fog from the monster below and some energy from the magic array.
Then, it escorted these people and continued to extract these blue water droplets for it.
On the way, Gu Zheng figured out some problems. He escaped from below and directly barged into the other party's nest. However, it was a blessing in disguise. He found the solution to Xiang Xiang's hidden danger.
"It's all an ocean," Young Master Mo said loudly from the side.
At this moment, they had already flown as high as possible. They could already see the blue edge of the island not far away. This was because the bottom was filled with black fog. Gu Zheng knew that the other party was strange and distanced himself from them.
Perhaps this was because they didn't have time to convert the black water and were stored below. As the island collapsed, it started to leak out.
If a normal person found this place, they wouldn't know what was going on inside. However, they didn't expect that it would start to collapse from the inside.
"Go behind me. Stay away." Gu Zheng instructed. At this moment, a faint golden light started to appear on Gu Zheng's arm. He didn't know who set up the magic array on this island. Now, the island was starting to fall apart. However, this magic array wasn't collapsing. It seemed like they could only forcefully break through it.
When Gu Zheng was still some distance away from the edge, he directly punched the void in front of him.
A muffled sound suddenly appeared in the sky, causing the hearts of the people behind to feel heavy. If it wasn't for Young Master Mo and the others being warned by Gu Zheng and making preparations, they would have fallen from the sky.
Even so, their bodies swayed slightly, and their faces turned pale.
A huge shadow of a fist that was dozens of feet long appeared in the air. Countless astral winds surrounded it. Even the black fog below dropped a few meters.
The dense shadow of the fist carried an unparalleled aura and bombarded the protective shield in front of them.
Without a sound, the golden shadow of the fist directly broke a big hole in front of them. Gu Zheng had overestimated the defense of this protective shield. He didn't expect that it would be broken with a single punch.
The golden shadow of the fist landed in the sea in the distance. Young Master Mo saw it clearly. The surrounding cavernous sinuses were pressed down. An earth-shattering explosion appeared in the distance, and a huge tsunami rose out of thin air.
Gu Zheng and the rest successfully passed through the protective shield and came out. They quickly flew into the distance.
When they were far enough away, they stopped and turned back.
At this time, most of the small island had been submerged by the sea. The turbulent Spirit Qi in the surroundings was chaotic. In the end, the outer protective shield was broken, and the black fog and purple fog were submerged by the sea.
It was estimated that after a while, everything would return to normal, and no one would be able to tell that there was once an island here.
What Gu Zheng didn't know was that the moment the small path completely collapsed, the space below also gradually collapsed. Finally, the black and white ball in the middle exploded silently, destroying all traces of the island.
However, at that time, Gu Zheng was already far away, and the movement was very small. Naturally, he didn't notice.
"Senior, thank you for saving us. I can't repay your kindness." Young Master Mo's face was solemn. He cupped his hands and said, "I wonder where you're going next." “
Now, there were only the four of them in the sky, including Young Master Mo's butler. The others had been protected by Xiang Xiang in the blue water.
"I don't have any other plans now, but I'll go to the Floating Clouds Island first. It's the closest to the human countries, and I still need to send them back. We'll talk about other things later." Gu Zheng thought for a while and said.
"My name is Mo Shaofeng. If I'm lucky enough to visit the Misty Island, I'll definitely thank you properly." Young Master Mo said gratefully.
"Don't call me senior, senior. You're treating me like an outsider. Just call me Gu Zheng." Only now did they introduce themselves.
"Senior Gu, I'm afraid that my father will be worried. I'll take my leave first." Young Master Mo said very politely.
The butler beside him remained silent and stood behind him.
"Okay, take care." Gu Zheng looked at the other party and directly disappeared. It seemed that the other party was really in a hurry. He didn't even treat his injuries before leaving.
The Misty Island was where the headquarters of the Star Alliance was set up. It was a huge island far away from the coast. That place was abnormally prosperous. It could be said that it was the most popular place on the sea. Many cultivators and immortals also gathered there.
Gu Zheng had already noticed him. His aura was obviously different from others. Moreover, there was a person with a high cultivation who was vaguely protecting him. His identity was naturally not simple.
However, Gu Zheng didn't think too much about it. He looked in the direction and pulled Xiang Xiang, turning into two green rainbows and disappearing. He already knew the general direction of the Floating Clouds Island. After all, Senior Liu lived there.
When they came here, they knew the direction. Unfortunately, they were controlled as soon as they got on the island. They didn't have the chance to go back and report.
A day later, a small island appeared in front of Gu Zheng. It was called a small island, but it was actually a slightly larger reef. It was only a few hundred feet wide and was basically barren.
A familiar figure appeared in front of him. He really didn't expect to meet him here.
A person with a somewhat terrifying expression was recuperating on the island. He didn't notice Gu Zheng's arrival at all. This person was the scar-faced man from before.
He didn't listen to Lian Rong's instructions. Instead, he secretly escaped from a place because he didn't want to be buried with this island. Moreover, the thing inside was so terrifying that no one would touch it.
After many days of fleeing, the scar-faced man decided to rest here.
Who would have thought that Gu Zheng would meet him in the vast sea? It was really fate. Gu Zheng was just randomly looking for a direction. If he was slightly wrong, he might have missed this place.
Gu Zheng and Xiang Xiang directly landed in front of the scar-faced man and looked at him quietly.
Although the scar-faced man was recuperating, his mind suddenly inexplicably jumped. He tried to suppress it but to no avail. Finally, he opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was a familiar figure. He really didn't expect to meet him here.
No wonder his state of mind was so abnormal. The scar-faced man didn't say anything. He immediately jumped up, and wanted to escape from this place.
Suddenly, a mirror appeared in the air. Then, two black and white rays of light nailed him to the spot. He couldn't move.
Gu Zheng went straight to the scar-faced man's side. He stretched out his hand, and brought the scar-faced man's head to his eyes. Unfortunately, he could clearly see the panic and pleading in his eyes.
A golden light flashed in Gu Zheng's eyes. It deeply attracted the scar-faced man's eyes like a whirlpool. Soon, the scar-faced man's eyes became sluggish.
Gu Zheng stretched out his finger, and pointed it between the scar-faced man's eyebrows. A burst of light that couldn't be seen with the naked eye emerged from Gu Zheng's hand the moment his finger touched the scar-faced man's eyebrows. It rippled like water waves.
The scar-faced man's body suddenly trembled. A lot of blood flowed out from his ears, eyes, and even his nostrils.
Gu Zheng's complexion was dignified. Someone had placed a heavy restriction in the scar-faced man's mind. Once someone tried to read some hidden memories, it would be immediately triggered. It would directly send out an invisible shock, and the scar-faced man would become an idiot in an instant.
However, in this short moment, Gu Zheng had already obtained some of the things he wanted from the scar-faced man's mind. Although it wasn't complete, it was enough.
Gu Zheng patted the scar-faced man's shoulder, and removed the restriction in his body. However, the scar-faced man still stood in the same place.
"Let's go, Xiang Xiang." Gu Zheng sighed and stretched out his hand.
"En." Xiang Xiang obediently put her hand in Gu Zheng's hand. The two of them left this place again. Only the scar-faced man stood there in a posture of wanting to escape.
After a long time, the scar-faced man's chest burst out a mass of blood. His heart silently burst. His entire body flew into the sea under this force, and completely disappeared.
