"Oh, I'm not in a hurry. What are you preparing to do? A final struggle before your death? " The mysterious woman mocked, "You're still trying to put on an act for me? I can't bear to kill you."
Even though this was what the mysterious woman said, the cold glint in her eyes did not lessen in the slightest. The black mist in her hands was already the size of a head, shining with a dangerous glow. She could toss it down at any moment to have Gu Zheng and the others perish.
Gu Zheng struggled to get himself up. Even though he could not make any big movements, it was still much better than kneeling down.
"Not bad, not bad. I'll give you one last chance. As long as you consume this Golden Core, I can spare your life. At the same time, I can let your companions live. Consider it." At this moment, the mysterious woman's face was truly moved. Her eyes shone with admiration. Of course, she knew the extent of her actions.
Usually, it would be enough to make the other party lose all resistance. Just like Sun Cheng, who was unconscious. Earlier on, Gu Zheng's struggle had her excited. One must know that she was lacking in talents to help her. Especially now that she desperately wanted to get out, she needed a strong body.
The fact that Gu Zheng could stand up was out of her expectations. She truly could not bear to kill him. But, it was a pity that she could not take over his body under such circumstances. If he still did not know what was good for him, she could only destroy this flower and kill him.
"HAHA!" Gu Zheng's face revealed a disdainful smile as a jade bottle appeared in his hands.
"Could it be that you want to heal yourself and experience the feeling of being knocked down?" The woman mocked. Looking at that creepy smile of Gu Zheng's, she had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Even though this body that was formed from the sacrifice of this soul could not even unleash 1% of its strength, it was still enough to crush them dozens of times over. Could the other party turn the tables and suddenly level up to Jin Xian? She refused to believe it even if she was beaten to death.
But, even if the other party were to level up, the process was enough for her to kill him. She was not afraid at all.
"Of course not. I don't have that kind of hobby. I just want to tell you that I don't want to be your servant. You are such a vicious woman. Even if you are my servant, I don't want you."
Before Gu Zheng could say anything, he crushed the jade bottle in his hand. A large amount of blue liquid flowed out and gathered in Gu Zheng's palm.
"You …" The mysterious woman's eyes turned cold. The black light in her hand instantly left her hand. Since the other party dared to humiliate her like this, they could all die.
At this moment, a blue wave of water appeared above Gu Zheng's head in a timely manner. It turned into a stream of water and enveloped them in an arc.
According to Gu Zheng's calculations, the defensive power of the light wave wasn't high. He could break it with a few punches. However, when the light wave appeared, the mysterious woman's expression changed.
When the strange black ball came into contact with the light screen, it silently melted into it without even causing a ripple.
"So it's you. You destroyed my most important place." The woman was extremely angry. However, she calmed down instead. "I didn't expect to meet you here. If I had known, I would have killed you directly."
The mysterious woman had already dispersed the black mist in her hand because the blue liquid happened to restrain her energy. Her strand of divine sense was unable to break through this defense, and from the looks of it, she couldn't wait for the blue liquid to disappear before she had to return.
"Thank you for showing mercy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance." Gu Zheng said while panting. At this moment, he was already in a much better state than before.
"Then I'll let you live a little longer. I have a premonition that we will meet again. At that time, it will be your death." The mysterious woman was straightforward. She knew that she couldn't do anything to the other party. Hence, she left behind a ruthless remark.
She turned around and turned into a black mist that filled the sky. She disappeared before Gu Zheng's eyes.
Gu Zheng was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would just give up and leave. As for the other party's last words, Gu Zheng curled his lips. He didn't take it seriously at all. If she really turned around and left as soon as she saw a trace of the other party's aura, why would she fight him head-on?
However, Gu Zheng didn't immediately remove the defense. Although he had checked the surroundings and found that there was no place that could be used, the blue liquid couldn't be recovered. Why should he take it back now?
Taking advantage of this time, Gu Zheng sat down and began to heal his injuries.
After half a day, when Gu Zheng had completely recovered, there was still no movement outside. Only the occasional gust of wind would blow through the empty yellow land, stirring up large amounts of dust.
The blue liquid had already begun to flicker. It looked like it was about to run out of energy and disperse.
At this time, Gu Zheng was convinced that the mysterious woman had finally left. He unconsciously let out a sigh of relief. If he hadn't seen the other party's black aura, which was clearly similar to the one in Xiangxiang's body, he would have thrown out the blue liquid to test it out. In any case, he didn't have a good method.
Fortunately, he had kept a bottle of it and hadn't poured it all over Xiangxiang. Otherwise, he really would have been doomed.
He hadn't thought that the mastermind behind that island would be this person. Just what was she planning? Gu Zheng only wanted to return. He estimated that the Heavenly Colored Fish should have recovered by now. Once he finished refining Xiangxiang's Hundred Colored Flame, he would be able to leave this place.
If he allowed her to cause trouble here, sooner or later, someone would come to teach her a lesson. He didn't want to take that risk. He would do what he needed to do.
"Ugh!"
At this time, Sun Cheng suddenly let out a pained groan. He slowly opened his eyes and suddenly thought of what had just happened.
"Quickly run, Brother Gu. I'll hold him back. That witch is too powerful. I didn't even see how she attacked brother before I was sent flying." Sun Cheng still hadn't realized what was going on. His voice had stopped when a figure appeared in front of him.
He thought that he had been knocked down by Gu Zheng and hastily said.
After saying that, he struggled to get up. However, all the bones in his body seemed to be broken. He couldn't exert any strength.
"Brother Sun, you should heal your injuries first. That witch has already left this place." Gu Zheng was speechless. Sun Cheng had even forgotten his memories when he was unconscious.
"What!" Sun Cheng exclaimed in shock. Only now did he realize that there was an extremely faint blue light screen above his head. It was faintly discernible. It seemed that it was about to disappear.
"You killed that witch?" Sun Cheng was once again shocked. He knew how powerful that witch was. Although her aura was weaker than his, he had been defeated in an instant.
Perhaps, the other party was still a Jin Xian Realm character. Could it be that Gu Zheng was also hiding his strength? Looking at the other party's intact body, could it be that he was also a Jin Xian Realm character?
Gu Zheng looked at Sun Cheng who was lying on the ground. That pair of big eyes were staring at him. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. He had even completely forgotten about the injuries on his body.
"It's not what you think. It's just that I have a special magic treasure. For the time being, it can be considered as a one-time use magic treasure. You also know that the other party came from a sacrifice. Such a powerful magic treasure must have a certain time limit. It directly consumed the other party's energy." Gu Zheng explained with a wry smile.
"So that's how it is." Hearing this explanation, Sun Cheng recovered from his shocked state. Perhaps, it was really like what he said. He had a special magic treasure.
Otherwise, a mere Heaven Immortal eccentric, even if he sacrificed ten of himself, he wouldn't be able to summon such a powerful summoned creature that existed forever.
At this time, the last trace of energy in the blue liquid disappeared. It flashed silently and disappeared.
"It's all thanks to your magic treasure. Otherwise, both of us would have lost this place," Sun Cheng said with guilt. Sun Cheng said guiltily. If he had not dragged Gu Zheng over, he would not have dragged him into such a desperate situation.
However, if Gu Zheng hadn't come over, he might have lost his life here. Who would have thought that this eccentric would be so ruthless in the end? He even dared to sacrifice his own soul. It was even more vicious than not being able to reincarnate.
Next, Sun Cheng stuffed several medicinal pills into his mouth and began to quietly recuperate. As for Gu Zheng, he continued to stand guard beside him.
One day later, Sun Cheng finally opened his eyes. Looking at Gu Zheng, who was still beside him, a trace of gratitude flashed across his eyes. He knew that Gu Zheng was always by his side, guarding him for fear that something unexpected might happen.
"Brother Gu, I have fully recovered." Sun Cheng stood up and brushed off the mess on his body, restoring his clean appearance.
"Mm, let's go check out the cave from before. After we're done, we'll hurry back."
The two of them were now far away from that place. They couldn't see that place from where they were.
When the two of them returned, they once again saw the place where the eccentric died. Now, only his clothes were left on the spot. Everything else had disappeared.
Gu Zheng threw out a ball of flame from his hand, completely burning the last traces left behind by the other party. Not a single trace was left.
After pausing for a moment, the two of them walked towards the still dark cave entrance.
At this time, standing at the entrance of the cave, they could clearly see the black fog surging inside. A cold aura emerged from inside. Standing outside, Sun Cheng felt goosebumps all over his body.
A faint whistling sound came from inside. It was as if there was a monster hidden in the depths. In the air, they could still smell the remnants of the black centipede.
Although he knew that the guardian here had been killed by them, seeing such a strange scene still made Sun Cheng uneasy. He subconsciously asked.
"Do you think another monster will appear inside, just like that centipede?"
"It shouldn't. Otherwise, why didn't that eccentric come out to fight? Don't worry, it's just that the environment here is a little strange." Gu Zheng had seen stranger scenes than this, so he didn't find it as scary as this place.
He just felt a familiar aura inside. It seemed to be the same as the black fog underground.
"Let's go." Gu Zheng took the lead and walked in.
As they slowly walked in, the cold and gloomy aura in the air made them feel even colder. Traces of black fog swept across their bodies, taking away what little warmth they had left. Even Gu Zheng had no choice but to erect a barrier to resist the omnipresent black fog.
To Gu Zheng's surprise, this cave wasn't very deep. After walking for less than half an hour, they saw a relatively large space. One had to know that their speed had slowed down a lot.
On the spacious ground in the middle, a black glowing array lit up high. Bits of black fog emerged from it. It seemed that the black fog of this passage came from the middle.
The black fog was extremely large, forming a straight line as it surged towards a corner. As they followed it, they discovered that there was a slightly beating giant egg there, absorbing the black fog. The strange sounds in the air were coming from there.
Gu Zheng and Sun Cheng glanced around. After a careful inspection, there was nothing strange except for a relatively small cave in the corner. It seemed to be the habitat of the black centipede.
"What's this thing for?" After seeing that there was no danger here, Sun Cheng let out a sigh of relief and pointed to the array in the middle.
"I don't know, but I can feel that this array is absorbing the spirit vein on this island. This is the culprit behind the barren island." Gu Zheng placed his eyes on the huge egg in the corner. This array was clearly providing nourishment for the egg. This island was its food.
"Is that so? Watch me destroy this cave. "Hearing this, Sun Cheng understood a little. He walked directly to the egg in the corner, wanting to destroy it.
As Sun Cheng approached, the egg seemed to understand its fate. Its whole body beat even more violently. It was obvious that it seemed to be struggling inside, as if it knew its fate. A 'thump thump' heartbeat emerged in the air and sounded at an extremely fast speed.
"Rip"
On the egg, a row of sharp knife-like cuts appeared. It seemed that it had sensed danger and had no choice but to come out in advance.
"Bastard, die!"
Sun Cheng picked up the long rod that had recovered and smashed it on the giant egg. He had found that the monster inside was exactly the same as the legs of the centipede outside.
At this time, the small centipede had just exposed its head. Its body was covered in some black mucus. Half of its body was still in the egg. It was frantically struggling to come out, but Sun Cheng's rod had already landed.
The centipede screeched. A few pairs of legs that did not look hard blocked the attack, but the whole body was smashed into a pile of minced meat. It could not have been more dead.
The incomplete centipede was not that strong.
"They used this island to grow these things?" Sun Cheng broke Chaos and looked at the black blood inside. He made sure he had not missed anything.
"Maybe. I don't know how many monsters they raised and where they sent them." Gu Zheng looked around, but he did not find anything useful.
A raging fire suddenly ignited in the magic array, causing Sun Cheng to feel his surroundings become warm. Countless amounts of black fog evaporated, and the cold aura of the entire passage also quickly dissipated.
When the fire was gone, Gu Zheng saw a black hole in the center. A black orb was in the middle of a jade pillar. It was glowing. That must have been the core of the magic array.
Gu Zheng put it away. It seemed to contain an endless amount of dark power. He did not have time to study it, so he just took it and walked out.
Outside, the blazing sun was wreaking havoc. Gu Zheng could also sense that the island's vitality was beginning to recover. However, it would take an unknown number of years for it to return to its previous state. At the very least, the roots of the island had not been severed.
Gu Zheng felt like he had done something great. He was very happy. Even the danger he had encountered before was worth it.
It was the same for Sun Cheng. Although he had narrowly escaped death, he had successfully completed his mission and destroyed an evil enemy's location. He was also infinitely happy.
The two of them flew up at the same time. They returned to the Misty Island.
At this time, almost everyone on the Misty Island was mobilized. Countless pieces of information were gathered on the big elder. After following the clues for a few days, he found a few traitors in the middle of the Misty Island team.
Fortunately, the traitors were only in the periphery. They did not lose much. But it still made the big elder shocked and angry. On one hand, he sent people to look for information about the traitors. On the other hand, he checked the island again.
However, the traitors had considered this problem during the last operation. They had evacuated all their people, so the big elder did not find any suspicious people.
Do not underestimate the strength of the Misty Island. In just ten days, all kinds of information were gathered.
If the traitors were to hide and not show up, maybe he would not find them until the Misty Island was aware. Just like thousands of years ago, although they had been tracking some clues, they were not very strong. They were only suspicious.
Now that there were countless suspicious points around, the Misty Island's upper echelons found that the traitors had set up temporary strongholds in many places. Some of them even had an unmanned surveillance magic array.
However, the big elder did not have time to pay attention to these problems. He had already sent people to attack several strongholds. Now was not the time to attack these useless places. Instead, it was to find the traitors' lair, break into their home in one fell swoop, and kill their leader. This way, the traitors could not be defeated without attacking.
However, some information came back. Although they caught some outsiders, they did not know where the traitors' lair was. However, they had some basic information about the traitors, and they had more or less understood it.
The most important thing was that the traitors used a kind of Golden Black Pill to tempt some people. The enemy had seen it with their own eyes. It ignored cultivation and aptitude, and could forcibly raise one's cultivation by a small level.
Of course, there were strong and weak Golden Black Pills. As long as one reached the peak of Celestial Immortal, it was basically useless. However, they heard that there was a kind of pill that could directly raise one's cultivation to Jin Xian.
As long as they worked hard to complete the tasks given by the higher-ups, in exchange for a certain amount of contribution, they could exchange for that tempting Golden Black Pill.
The big elder knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. However, there were always some people who could not resist the temptation. They ignored the bad consequences and sold themselves to the traitors in order to raise their own cultivation.
However, the most important thing was that they still had not found the traitors' lair. This problem had always lingered in his mind.
Of course, although there was still plenty of time, and it seemed that there was still nearly two years before the Brilliant Light Land, they still had to organize the members here. In addition, they did not know the distance of the traitors, and they still had to calculate the situation after the war. This little bit of time felt a bit tight.
No one did not believe that they would not achieve victory under the leadership of the Alliance Master.
Outside the outermost clouds, two members who were patrolling saw two figures in the distance. They were flying towards them.
Although the other party's aura was very strong, with the entire Misty Island behind them, they were not afraid at all. They shouted:
"Who are you? Quickly stop and accept inspection."
