Returning to the time when Elder Mu had just returned to the short man's house, at a place very far away, on the other side of the mountain.
This was one of the few plains on the island, and there was even a clear stream flowing down from the mountain, passing by here. Some unknown wildflowers were competing with each other, making this place even more beautiful.
Somewhere in this place full of flowers, there was a very uncoordinated thing standing in the middle.
Looking from afar, a sharp side blade was hanging high, and it was at least a few feet long. Points of sharpness kept appearing on the side of the blade, and there was nothing hanging on it, as if it could fall down at any time.
Below it, there was a white circle shining with light. Inside it was a small figure that was just big enough to fit her. She was holding a small blue bead in her hand and lying unconscious inside.
Although the sun was shining brightly, such a strange atmosphere gave people a feeling that a storm was coming.
On one side of the mountain, there was an inconspicuous cave, and there were only a few simple stone tables and stone stools inside. The outside was covered by a concealment array, but from inside, one could clearly see the situation outside the circle of light.
A few figures were quietly staying there, looking at the surrounding situation. They had already stayed here for a few days, and were already a little impatient.
"Lord Bai, the others are all waiting for us at the teleportation array. Is it because the other party doesn't dare to come, or is he just hiding and didn't notice us?" One of them was already a little uneasy, because after they left, although there was still one more chance, it still needed three days to cool down before it could be activated.
But who knew what would happen, and to be safe, it was best to go together.
"It's okay, let's wait a little longer. I've already asked them to wait for us a little longer." Lord Bai still had his eyes closed, as if he was not anxious at all.
Lian Rong was also here, and after coming here, her eyes never left the trap in the middle. This time, there were a total of five peak Celestial Immortals, and they were determined to make the other party stay here.
Hearing Lord Bai's words, she was not surprised, because only Lord Bai had the ability to make the others wait for him. Among them, she was the weakest, and the others had already entered the peak Celestial Immortal Realm.
This time, Lord Bai had brought all the people who were close to him to show off his skills. No matter what, he had to make a contribution before he left.
Time passed bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, noon had inadvertently passed, but the other party still hadn't appeared.
Even Lian Rong became somewhat impatient in her heart. Because soon, they would have no choice but to leave this place and give up on this plan.
Just as they were feeling restless and anxious, a figure appeared in the distant sky and rushed towards them.
It was Gu Zheng who had just arrived.
Because they had to avoid the patrols in the city, they were delayed for a long time. It was not until they reached a place where there was no one that they sped up.
At this moment, Gu Zheng was moving forward while using his Spiritual Sense to scan the entire canyon. He had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery here.
The first thing he saw when he arrived was Xiang Xiang's location and the huge torture device in the sky.
Gu Zheng's figure sped up, and after a flash, he finally stood in front of the circle. The scenery in front of him couldn't attract him at all.
"Xiangxiang!"
Gu Zheng glanced at Xiangxiang in front of him and said anxiously.
The small figure seemed to have heard his voice. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. She slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she saw Gu Zheng, a trace of joy appeared on her originally pale face. The corners of her mouth unconsciously curled into a smile, making people feel pity for her.
She supported herself with her forearms on the ground, trying to stand up. However, her body seemed to be very weak. After several attempts, she was unable to stand up. She could only sit on the ground and look at Gu Zheng, wanting to tell him the grievances in her heart.
However, it seemed that there was a restriction placed on her. She could only make vague sounds of "ah ah" and was unable to speak.
"Don't be afraid, I'm coming. Wait for me, I'll help you open the restriction." Gu Zheng comforted her. He looked around vigilantly and slowly walked forward.
He knew that there was definitely someone lying in ambush nearby. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find the other party. The biggest possibility was that the restriction in front of him had other tricks.
"Wu wu." Suddenly, Xiangxiang seemed to have thought of something. A trace of fear flashed in her eyes. She cried out at Gu Zheng, her expression filled with worry. It seemed that she was reminding Gu Zheng.
She wanted to struggle up, but she lost her footing and fell down.
It happened to hit her chin. Her face scrunched up in pain and her eyes became hazy. It seemed that even her cultivation base had been sealed.
"I know it's dangerous. Don't worry, don't move." Gu Zheng softly said. Seeing the news like this, his heart ached. He didn't know just how much she had suffered these past few days.
He had even thought that she had died. Although he didn't show it on the surface, he blamed himself greatly in his heart.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng's eyes flashed with a trace of killing intent. He continued to charge forward.
As Gu Zheng approached, the entire circle suddenly emitted countless small beams of light. They shot up from the bottom and instantly trapped Xiangxiang inside. After the side blade above was concentrated by the beams of light, it emitted a burst of light and began to slowly descend.
The sound of grinding teeth rang out in the air. The side blade slowly began to accelerate in the air.
"Wu wu wu." Xiangxiang looked at the movement above her from the corner of her eyes and stammered in despair.
Gu Zheng's body emitted a dazzling golden light. His entire body was like a golden flame as he rushed toward Xiangxiang.
The thin net formed by the beams of light was instantly smashed open. Gu Zheng rushed in and hugged Xiangxiang in his arms. A black and white shield appeared around his body, ready to block the side blade above.
Just as the side blade was about to land, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, a trace of black light flashed on the surface of the side blade. Its entire body suddenly changed into a pure black four-cornered huge tower. It fell from the sky like Mount Tai.
An invisible pressure fell from the sky. The whistling hurricane firmly nailed Gu Zheng to the ground. It aggressively pressed down on Gu Zheng and locked him inside along with Xiangxiang.
The huge tower was dozens of feet tall. It was covered with dark purple spirit patterns. It was flashing brightly. Countless black fog appeared and rolled around the body of the tower. It emitted an indescribably strange aura.
All of this was out of Gu Zheng's expectations. Before he could react, he was trapped.
Several figures instantly appeared from the hidden cave. Except for Lord Bai, who was still inside, the others were all outside.
In addition to Lian Rong, there was also a young woman wearing purple satin, a gloomy man, and a sissy-looking youth.
At this time, they were gathered at one side of the huge tower. Looking at this majestic tower, their expressions finally relaxed.
"I thought that the other party wouldn't dare to come. But in the end, we were fooled. Tsk tsk, this is Lord Bai's Netherworld Dark Tower. This time, he's dead for sure." The sissy-looking youth pinched his thumb and middle finger together and said softly.
The other two people were already used to it. However, Lian Rong couldn't help but shudder when she saw this man. She quietly moved away from him.
"Yes, but Lord Bai is actually willing to use such a precious treasure to suppress this enemy. He thinks too highly of him. This way, we will be somewhat redundant here," the gloomy man said. Even though there was a smile on his face, it still made people look gloomy and terrifying.
"Who said no? Moreover, he used Lady Yan's pet. If I accidentally encountered it, even if I didn't die, I would lose a layer of skin." Lian Rong echoed. Xiangxiang was the transformation of the precious pet of the red-clothed woman. It could change unpredictably. Almost no one could find any flaws.
"It's nothing. Previously, Lady Lian Rong's arrangement was a little weak. I did it for everyone." The red-clothed woman, who was also Lady Yan, laughed. Although she said this, her eyebrows were filled with pride.
"That's right. I've troubled Sister Yan. After this matter is over, I will definitely give everyone a generous gift," Lian Rong said with a smile. Lian Rong said with an ingratiating smile. No matter what, each of them had more or less put in some effort. There were only benefits and no disadvantages in pleasing them.
"Little Sister Rong, that's what you said. I'll be waiting for your generous gift …" Before Lady Yan could finish her sentence, the huge tower in front of her suddenly shook. The entire ground shook as well, causing her to stop abruptly.
"What's going on?" Could it be that I'm hallucinating? "The sissy-looking youth said in surprise when he saw the huge tower return to normal.
Lady Yan gently shook the bell in her hand, making a tinkling sound. Then, she said with a smile, "Everyone, don't worry about it. My pet has already started to move. I think that guy is probably not having a good time inside. Under the pincer attack of the huge tower, I'm afraid he will die in an instant."
"So that's how it is. That scared me to death. However, Lady Yan, your pet has already grown to such an extent that it can even shake Lord Bai's huge tower. It seems like you have put in a lot of effort these past few years." The sissy-looking youth put his hand on his chest and said in a coquettish voice. He even threw a coquettish glance at Lady Yan.
Looking at the huge tower that had returned to normal, everyone relaxed. Just this huge tower alone could not be broken by ordinary people. This was one of Lord Bai's strongest spiritual treasures. Who knew how many enemies had entered and were refined into a pool of thick blood by Lord Bai. This was the reason why Lord Bai's fierce reputation was so impressive.
At this moment, Gu Zheng, who was inside the huge tower, covered a wound on his waist with one hand. Now, the wound was bleeding along the seam of his hand. Traces of black Qi were continuously rising from the wound.
In front of him was an evil spirit with a ferocious face. It was constantly roaring at him. Drops of blood were slowly dripping from its withered hand.
Gu Zheng's face was very ugly. Now, there was a golden shield around his body, blocking the astral winds that were everywhere outside.
"Damn it." Gu Zheng's eyes slowly turned red. In his other hand, he held the small blue ball tightly.
When Gu Zheng had first entered, he had instantly entered a gray space. Gusts of demonic wind were constantly blowing from all directions. At the same time, an invisible aura was slowly eroding him. Gu Zheng felt that his body had softened a lot.
Moreover, Gu Zheng could faintly feel that his soul was being blown by the demonic wind. It began to sway slightly. Xiang Xiang, who was in his arms, was also trembling non-stop.
Gu Zheng immediately raised a protective shield around the two of them. Only then did he feel a lot better.
However, Gu Zheng keenly discovered that the power of this demonic wind was increasing little by little. At this time, Xiang Xiang, who was in a better state, was struggling to get down.
Moreover, he casually handed the blue bead to Gu Zheng, while his other hand naturally reached for Gu Zheng's waist.
Gu Zheng was not on guard at all. When he received the small blue ball, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. At this time, the small fingernail that grabbed Gu Zheng's waist suddenly extended. In an instant, it pierced toward Gu Zheng's abdomen.
At this critical moment, Gu Zheng could only twist his waist. However, he was still pierced by the other party's sharp fingernail. If he was not wearing an inner armor, this would have pierced a big hole in his body.
This inner armor was obtained from the Misty Island's treasure house. Of course, it was not the only thing.
And that "Xiang Xiang" did not hit him. She directly jumped out and returned to her original appearance. She bared her teeth at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng's palm slowly emitted a white light. For the time being, the wound stopped bleeding. Looking at the small ball in his hand, a thread in his mind gradually began to straighten.
Thinking that the weak little girl in front of him might have died. He could no longer hear that slightly delicate Xiang Xiang calling him "Brother Gu" in his ear. The anger in Gu Zheng's heart slowly rose.
Moreover, it was because of his departure that this situation happened. He still clearly remembered that when he agreed to go out with her, he was very happy. He solemnly said to himself, "My safety will be in your hands in the future."
Finally, the anger burned his reason. When he first saw the news that he was fine, he was so excited. He knew that there was a trap, but he still stepped in without hesitation.
However, the other party used Xiang Xiang's small bead to cleverly conceal their own presence. If it was not for the other party revealing a bit of their presence at the last moment to alert him, he might have died under the other party's hands.
And that spirit beast looked at Gu Zheng with a vigilant face. Although because it had turned into a little girl, its arms were a little short and small, which slightly made the other party feel that something was wrong in advance. Even so, it was confident that it could dig a big hole in the other party's abdomen.
But it did not expect the other party's reaction to be so fast. Not only was there a layer of precious treasure on his body, but that layer of flesh was abnormally strong. It only left a bowl-shaped scar on the other party's body.
However, it had already successfully planted the Yin Poison. As long as it dragged on, there was no need for it to make a move. The other party was dead.
A muffled sound suddenly resounded from underground, and the smoke-like clouds on the ground began to roll unceasingly.
Suddenly, a crack appeared on Gu Zheng's left and right sides. A pair of palm-leaf fan-sized skeletal hands stretched out from inside. They instantly grew long and grabbed onto Gu Zheng's ankles.
More cracks appeared on the ground. One by one, skeletons with white light climbed out from the ground.
"You're courting death." Gu Zheng woke up from his memories. The reason in his mind had already been destroyed by anger. A terrifying aura suddenly burst out from his body, forming a huge wave of air that exploded in all directions.
The whistling wind in the sky was instantly dispersed by this explosion. The evil spirit was also hit by this wave of air. It lost its balance and retreated in a sorry state.
It came quickly and left quickly. The aura did not spread far before it quickly returned. It was like a liquid that was constantly suspended around the body.
Gu Zheng looked at the skeletal hand under his feet. He slowly lifted one of his legs.
The bones of the hand were stretched taut in an instant, and a teeth-grinding sound could be heard from the fragile joints, as if they were about to break at any moment. Gu Zheng brought out a skeleton with a body that looked a little different from the other skeletons.
The wind howling above gathered once again, bringing along traces of black fog as it blew toward Gu Zheng once again.
"Humph!" Gu Zheng heavily stomped on the skeleton with half of its body. An earth-shattering sound was heard. The skeleton that revealed half of its body was instantly crushed. A huge wave of air appeared under his feet and swept out in all directions.
Those skeletons that had just come out were directly torn into a pile of skeletons under this wave of air. The surrounding area was instantly emptied.
The entire pagoda trembled a little.
Then, he looked at the evil spirit with his scarlet eyes. He knew that it had deceived him. It had actually used Xiang Xiang to deceive him. He would use it as an example. None of the people outside would be able to escape.
Outside, they were still laughing and chatting. Lian Rong pointed at the huge tower in front of her and said enviously, "When can I get such a treasure?"
Although her Phoenix Bow was also very powerful, it was already damaged. It was still far from being comparable to this huge tower.
"It's not just you. Who here doesn't desire such a precious treasure? It can greatly increase one's strength," Lady Yan said from the side.
Everyone's gaze unconsciously landed on the huge tower.
At this moment, the huge tower was still standing there quietly. However, under everyone's shocked gazes, a muffled sound was suddenly heard. The aura was even stronger than before.
The entire tower shook even more violently. Even the people outside felt a little unstable. It was as if the ground was shaking.
"What's going on? Is this also the doing of your spirit pet?" The gloomy man looked at Lady Yan with a look of disbelief.
"How is that possible? My spirit pet is not so powerful." Lady Yan's face was also filled with disbelief. She shook her wrist violently and a rapid bell rang in the air.
"Bang!" With a soft sound, the bell stopped ringing. It turned into dozens of pieces and fell from her wrist. At the same time, Lady Yan let out a muffled groan. She could not help but take a few steps back. A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth.
"My spirit pet was, was killed." Lady Yan did not have time to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. She had not expected that her spirit pet would be killed in such a short time. Everything was normal when she contacted it just now.
"What!" The other three people said in unison. Their faces were also filled with disbelief.
