"Everyone, get ready. We'll attack with all our might later. Listen to my orders, "Elder Mu said with a solemn expression. He could clearly see that the water ripples were resonating with the defensive array outside. The unknown ripples were surging up from here. It seemed that this was the place the Great Elder was talking about.
Everyone spread out. Gu Zheng watched as Ye Wu retreated to his side. He then asked casually, "Are you alright? I hope I'm sorry about Ye Wu's death."
"I'm fine. If he hadn't blocked the enemy at the last moment and attracted their attention, I wouldn't have been able to escape so easily," Ye Wu said with a bitter smile.
Gu Zheng's body suddenly froze. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he clenched his fist and threw a punch at Ye Wu's waist.
Ye Wu was shocked. However, he seemed to have been prepared for it. A layer of white light formed a shield and blocked Gu Zheng's attack in time.
A muffled bang rang out.
The white light shield instantly exploded and Ye Wu was sent flying. He slammed into the wall of the passageway and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. His expression immediately became much more dispirited.
"What's going on?" The sudden turn of events shocked Elder Mu and the short man. They did not know what had happened. Elder Mu immediately became wary of Gu Zheng while the short man became wary of Ye Wu.
"There's something wrong with this Ye Wu." Gu Zheng said with a solemn expression. At the same time, he charged forward again. Ye Wu was caught off guard. Even with the protection, he did not expect his attack to be so sharp. Now that he was in a state of dizziness, it was the best time to capture him.
How could Elder Mu listen to Gu Zheng's one-sided words? His figure moved and instantly blocked Gu Zheng's path. His eyes were already glaring fiercely at Gu Zheng. "If you continue to act like this, I won't hold back anymore."
At that moment, Elder Mu even suspected that Gu Zheng had been replaced. The short man quickly rushed over and said to Elder Mu, "Elder Mu, there's nothing wrong with Ye Yi. I can guarantee that Ye Yi's judgment might be correct."
Only then did Elder Mu's gaze soften. However, he still stood in front of Ye Wu. With such a turn of events, even Elder Mu could not tell who was right and who was wrong.
"Elder Mu, Fifth Ye is about to escape." The short man suddenly pointed to the back and said anxiously.
Elder Mu was alarmed as he subconsciously turned his head to take a look. He saw that Ye Wu, who had just recovered, had suddenly turned into a pool of liquid and merged into the wall, instantly disappearing without a trace.
With Elder Mu standing in front of him, Gu Zheng could only watch helplessly as Elder Mu fled.
Elder Mu also knew that there might really be a problem with Ye Wu. He hurriedly lit up a white light from his hand and slithered into the city wall like a white snake.
All of a sudden, a figure was sent flying from afar. He was half-kneeling on the ground, and there were still remnants of white light on his back. Blood spurted out from his mouth as though it was free. In the blink of an eye, there was a pool of blood on the ground. It seemed like Elder Mu did not show any mercy.
Just as Elder Mu and the rest were about to go over and grab Ye Wu, they saw a black light flickering around them. A buzzing sound was heard continuously.
The void around them twisted, and with them as the center, countless black lights soared into the sky and gathered above their heads, trapping them here like a roof.
"Be careful." Elder Mu hurriedly shouted. At the same time, he raised a shield to protect them. At this moment, he did not know that they had fallen into the enemy's trap. Who would have thought that Ye Wu had been replaced? If Gu Zheng had not exposed them in time, they would have probably been in a desperate situation.
However, at this moment, they had also been ambushed by the enemy who had long been prepared. When Ye Wu indicated that there was no danger here, they did not even check carefully.
Unfortunately, just as Elder Mu and the rest were thinking of a countermeasure, a black array suddenly appeared in the sky. Countless black runes lingered on its surface. Suddenly, a black light flashed in the middle. Gu Zheng and the rest felt their vision blur as they realized that they were in a black space.
This space seemed to be half real and half illusory. There was no end to it as far as the eye could see. There were gray clouds on the side, and above them was a thick layer of black clouds. It was almost a few feet above their heads, giving everyone a very oppressive feeling. It was as if something would suddenly attack from within at any time.
Below their feet was a swamp that emitted a black stench. It was as if one would be sucked in if they stepped on it. Gu Zheng and the rest were all suspended in mid-air as they looked around in bewilderment.
Suddenly, the entire space below them began to tremble slightly. Countless black gas suddenly surged out from below, and the surrounding ground instantly cracked open with hundreds of cracks of different sizes. The entire space became dark and misty.
In this fog, blurry figures climbed up from below. The entire space was filled with ghostly wails and howls.
Gu Zheng looked through the hazy fog and saw that there were many creatures that were covered in black gas. Their entire bodies were covered in filthy, smelly mud. They were dripping down as they crawled out from the cracks continuously.
As soon as these devil-like creatures crawled out, they let out strange roars and pounced on Gu Zheng and the rest.
At this time, Ye Wu's figure was completely out of sight. No one knew where he was hiding.
"Everyone, be careful. Don't let these evil spirits get close to you." Elder Mu's Divine Sense scanned those evil spirits, then looked at the black clouds in the sky. He reminded them again, "The aura here is very strange. Pay more attention to the top."
At this time, the black fog above was constantly rolling and surging. Furthermore, Divine Sense was greatly restricted here and could not extend too far.
The strength of these evil spirits was not very strong. It seemed that they were only used to harass them. Although they looked fierce and evil, they were not difficult to deal with.
Gu Zheng took a step forward and stretched out his huge fist toward the two evil spirits that were close to him. Bang! Bang! Two punches were thrown.
Under Gu Zheng's deliberate control, the two evil spirits were directly sent flying. As they flew backward, they even collided with a row of evil spirits. After a series of muffled bangs, they all turned into a pool of black fog and dissipated.
Gu Zheng did not dare to let him get close to him. This was because the short man was not paying attention and was directly hugged by an evil spirit. The evil spirit directly exploded, causing the short man to be in a sorry state.
Then, the short man was so angry that he did not fight with his fists. He directly took out a shining silver armor and covered his entire body, only revealing a pair of eyes.
Next, his figure descended from the sky like a meteor, smashing into the army of wraiths below. Instantly, a small swathe of wraiths around him were pulverized. The area around him was temporarily cleared of wraiths. However, it did not take long for the boundless army to cover up the area.
Elder Mu, on the other hand, was much calmer. He put up a blue shield to prevent any sneak attacks. A large blue wave flowed out from his hand and directly engulfed the evil spirits that were hundreds of feet in front of him, tearing them into pieces of black fog.
The entire army of evil spirits was almost no threat to them. However, the evil spirits kept crawling out from below as if there was no end to them. After killing a batch, more evil spirits would climb up from below. No matter how hard they tried, they could not kill them all.
The three of them were gradually closed in on by the army of evil spirits.
Elder Mu's body flashed with blue light and a circle of ice that exuded cold air suddenly appeared outside and expanded in all directions. In a few breaths' time, all the evil spirits in the vicinity were wiped out.
"This won't do. We need to break through here. If this goes on, we will eventually die here," Elder Mu said in a deep voice.
Gu Zheng and the big man understood this very well. There was not much hope for them to kill this wave of evil spirits.
"Ye Wu?" The short man happened to be facing them. He saw a familiar figure appear in the distance and run towards him quickly.
At this moment, he was holding a long sword in his hand and constantly waving it in front of him, cutting the evil spirits in front of him into pieces. There was a hint of fear on his face as he rushed in the direction of Gu Zheng and the others.
"How dare he come over? It seems like he has a death wish." Gu Zheng said with an ugly expression. Now that they had been exposed, it was fortunate that they had changed their true appearances. However, he already knew their secret. Perhaps he already knew the short man's identity. This brought about countless variables to their retreat plan.
However, he was still quite far away from them. They did not launch an attack for the time being. They wanted to see what tricks he had up his sleeves. However, what made them feel strange was that these evil spirits seemed to have received some kind of order. They all rushed towards Ye Wu and ignored them.
Gu Zheng and the others were happy to relax. They were already being careful not to add insult to injury.
"I was possessed previously. Now, I have regained control of my body. Destroy the person who took over my body. Hurry up and save me." As all the evil spirits rushed towards them, Ye Wu felt the merciless pressure and hurriedly shouted at them.
This was especially true now that he was seriously injured. Although the evil spirits were nothing to Gu Zheng and the others, to him, with so many of them charging at him in an endless stream, he was already restrained and unable to use his full strength.
"Only a ghost would believe you." The short man spat and said softly.
If he did not run and explain at that time, they might have dispelled their worries. One had to know that with Elder Mu there, Gu Zheng could not hurt him at all. However, as soon as he ran, such a strange situation immediately occurred in his home. It was obvious that he was guilty.
He either betrayed the Star Alliance or was replaced by someone else. No matter which it was, they would not believe him anymore. They did not see that Elder Mu was indifferent to his cry for help at this moment.
Layers of protective light barriers appeared around Ye Wu. However, he was now surrounded by evil spirits and could not hold on for too long.
Furthermore, his charging momentum was getting slower and slower. It looked like he would stop at the same spot very soon.
Soon, the protective barrier shattered. Ye Wu took out a jade pendant that was completely white and placed it on his chest. A pure white barrier rose up once again, isolating him from the ferocious evil spirits outside.
At this moment, Ye Wu felt waves of fatigue coming from his body. Waves of weakness continuously appeared in his body, causing him to sit on the ground. He did not care about the attacks outside and looked directly at Elder Mu.
He did not blame them. After all, the enemy had used his body previously. After hearing Elder Mu's plan, he had played along and caught all of them in one fell swoop.
In fact, when he was discovered by Ye Wu, before he could make any other choice, someone had taken the opportunity to invade his mind and seal him in his body.
If not for the fact that he wanted to use his memories, he would have died long ago.
When Gu Zheng attacked Ye Wu, he took advantage of the fact that Ye Wu's mind was extremely shaken to secretly break free from the seal. Elder Mu's attack directly knocked Ye Wu into a coma.
With such a good opportunity, Ye Wu's consciousness instantly pounced forward and fought with his opponent. After a period of time, Ye Wu won and completely eliminated his opponent. However, it was a pyrrhic victory. Otherwise, he would not have been able to use his ultimate move.
However, the person who set up the trap did not know about this situation. When he saw that Ye Wu was injured, he sent someone to drag Ye Wu back. Ye Wu took the opportunity to seriously injure the other party and then charged towards Elder Mu.
Although the person from before knew the identity of Gu Zheng and the short man, he had always been careful and was afraid of exposing himself. After hinting to his own people that they wanted to go to the city gate, he did not contact them. As a result, those people did not know the short man's identity.
When Ye Wu attacked, the other party knew that Ye Wu had regained control of his body. He directly controlled the evil spirits to charge at Ye Wu, wanting to use the evil spirits to kill him. Of course, he wanted to watch a good show.
Seeing that their suspicion led to Ye Wu's death, the development of the situation was indeed as expected.
As the jade pendant's light slowly dimmed, under the repeated attacks of the evil spirits, it began to tremble. It did not seem to be able to hold on for long.
Ye Wu also obtained some useful information from the enemy's shattered memories. He struggled to stand up and shouted at the other party with his loudest voice, "They do not know your identity.
The death of these evil spirits will strengthen the array formation. Quickly think of a way to break it. "
Just as he finished speaking, the white barrier flickered a few times. The jade pendant turned into powder and fell from Ye Wu's chest before completely falling silent.
In less than a second, the evil spirits completely tore Ye Wu's body into countless pieces. Blood poured down from the sky as an essence soul that resembled Ye Wu appeared in the air. It held a small sword in its hand and the moment it appeared, it charged towards the black fog in the sky in a frenzy.
At that moment, Ye Wu's consciousness had long been completely shattered. All that was left was this essence soul that was mixed with the enemy's fragmented consciousness.
As for Gu Zheng and company, when Ye Wu finished speaking, they knew that Ye Wu seemed to have regained his body. However, before he could take action, he was killed by the evil spirits.
A small jade bottle appeared in Elder Mu's hand and shot straight at the essence soul. He wanted to protect Ye Wu's essence soul and see if there was a chance for him to recover.
However, before the jade bottle could reach him, something strange happened.
The black fog in the sky suddenly split open, and a greenish-black dagger suddenly fell from above, directly stabbing into the head of the soul. In an instant, a black flame emerged from the dagger, and the soul only had time to let out a mournful cry before it was burned to ashes.
A black inscription appeared on the surface of the dagger. It was shining as though it had absorbed all the essence of the essence soul.
Elder Mu's expression was so gloomy that it seemed like ink could drip from it. He turned back to look at the evil spirits that continued charging towards them and could not help but say, "If Ye Wu is right, the more evil spirits we kill, the more stable and dangerous this array formation will be."
"That's right. I noticed that the evil spirit turned into black gas and entered the black cloud above its head. I thought it was the circulation of the array formation. I didn't expect it to be like this," said the short man at the side.
"Ye San, Ye Yi, please cover me for a moment. Perhaps I have a way to break through this space."
"Alright, just be prepared."
As Gu Zheng spoke, he went forward and grabbed the two evil spirits in front of him. Before their bodies swelled up, he instantly threw them behind the evil spirits. Two loud explosions were heard and the evil spirits behind them were instantly emptied.
On the other side, under Gu Zheng's cover, Elder Mu made another hand seal and chanted.
Along with Elder Mu's voice, a blue mist gradually appeared behind Elder Mu. Then, it slowly formed dozens of light blue water balls of different sizes. The rich power of water emerged here.
One had to know that this was the East Sea. Water-type Dharma spells could unleash their greatest power. Furthermore, everyone here usually learned water-type cultivation techniques.
When the sky blue water balls had completely turned into sky blue, Elder Mu pushed forward and the water balls behind him instantly rushed forward.
Along the way, all the water balls transformed into various creatures, which were commonly seen at the bottom of the sea. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they rushed into the army of evil spirits in front of them.
"Boom, boom, boom." Before they could pounce over, countless water balls shot out from the creatures in the air. In an instant, dozens of evil spirits were smashed into pieces and turned into wisps of black smoke that dissipated.
"Ye San, don't kill the evil spirits. Try to incapacitate them as much as possible," suggested Gu Zheng immediately after seeing the situation.
When this happened, Elder Mu also realized that something was wrong. After hearing Gu Zheng's words, he nodded slightly and waved his hands. Then, the creatures no longer spat out water balls from their mouths. Instead, they spat out some turbulent waves.
This time, almost all the evil spirits were hit by the waves and fell to the ground. Just now, almost all the evil spirits had rushed toward Ye Wu, causing them to all be in the same line.
Now, Gu Zheng only needed to deal with a lot of evil spirits. Under the constant control of Elder Mu's creatures, the evil spirits in front of him could not even stand up. It was much easier for him.
When the short man saw all this, a slender silver needle suddenly appeared in his hand and stood upright in front of him.
This silver needle was three meters long, and the sharp tip of the needle constantly flashed with a cold light. A silvery-white light flowed on the needle's body, and there were some obscure and small runes on it that caused the void to ripple.
This made Gu Zheng take a few more glances. After all, this magic treasure was obviously related to space and was very rare. He did not expect that this honest-looking person would have such a precious treasure.
The short man closed his eyes and chanted an incantation that Gu Zheng could not understand. At the same time, his hands overlapped each other, and silver runes appeared from his hands and entered the silver needle. The spinning light outside continued to accelerate, and the runes on the body began to light up.
The spatial fluctuations around the silver needle gradually became stronger, and the entire silver needle began to tremble slowly.
