When Gu Zheng entered the maze, after twisting and turning, he was completely lost. He could not even tell where he was.
Although he could see the sky from above, there was a layer of solid air wall blocking him from above. He could not climb over it. Moreover, there were no so-called dead ends here. Every path could lead to other places.
The previous day, it was still fine. One of the passages was very long. Although there were only a few branches, on the second day, perhaps because he had inadvertently walked on the right path, the entire passage turned into a cross of short passages. Each passage was five feet long, forming a cross.
In the middle, diagonally, horizontally, crookedly, it existed at all angles. What gave the audience a headache was that there was no pattern.
Soon, Gu Zheng did not know where he was and did not know where to go.
After wandering around for a day, Gu Zheng still did not wander around this area.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the distance.
When Gu Zheng saw it, he immediately rushed towards the other party. However, when he was about to reach the other party, an invisible shield blocked him.
"Bang Bang"
Gu Zheng, who did not expect this, immediately slammed into the shield. His whole body bounced back. Caught off guard, Gu Zheng felt as if his body was being overturned.
Gu Zheng immediately stood up. He raised his fist and punched the shield in front of him. A little five-coloured light appeared on the shield. However, it was still far from breaking.
Gu Zheng discovered that the position of the other party was completely different from his. There seemed to be sections of passages around him. They were even shorter. It was as if the two of them were in different worlds.
"Lian Rong, I let you go back then. You still have the face to appear here?" Gu Zheng roared at Lian Rong. He had been wandering around here for so many days. There was no need to mention how angry he was.
Lian Rong's expression did not change. She gently threw down a rectangular jade ruler and said indifferently, "If you continue like this, you will not be able to pass this level. This thing will guide you through."
After saying that, she turned around as if to leave. The space around her rippled and her figure began to blur.
"Don't go. You haven't told me where Xiang Xiang is." Gu Zheng had calmed down a little at this time and hurriedly called out to the other party.
"Once you pass through here and keep walking forward, you will reach the bottom of an altar. Xiang Xiang is there. Let's see if you have the guts to come over." Lian Rong paused for a moment. Then, she took a small step forward and her figure disappeared. The surroundings were restored to the surroundings of Gu Zheng.
"Damn it, get back here!" Gu Zheng could only shout towards the empty space as he watched the other party's figure disappear. The other party had already left, so how could he hear him?
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of Gu Zheng venting could be heard everywhere in the passageway. After a while, Gu Zheng's eyes turned red, and he stopped panting.
"Something's not right." Gu Zheng's heart was suddenly alarmed. Without thinking about anything else, he immediately sat down cross-legged and carefully observed his body.
After half an hour, a grey mist appeared above Gu Zheng's head. It transformed into a small snake that was twisting back and forth in the air. A hand quickly grabbed it from below. With a little force, the grey mist dissipated.
Gu Zheng slowly opened his eyes. The irritation in his eyes had already disappeared.
Gu Zheng stood up with lingering fear. He didn't expect that there would be a strange mist here. It had unknowingly entered his body. Even Gu Zheng didn't notice it at all.
He was making you think about the problem. It was very easy to subconsciously fall into a state of madness and magnify the obsession in your heart. However, you didn't care about it.
Previously, Gu Zheng was wholeheartedly hurrying on with his journey. After a day of torment in the passageway, his heart couldn't help but become impatient. Under the influence of this, he couldn't control himself and went crazy.
Fortunately, after venting for a while, Gu Zheng calmed down a little. Only then did he discover the source of his problem. He immediately eliminated the hidden danger in his body in time.
However, even so, Gu Zheng carefully checked his body from the inside out to ensure that there was no problem with his body. Only then did he pick up the jade ruler on the ground.
Gu Zheng pondered for a while. Lian Rong actually threw this thing to him. She definitely didn't feel that he didn't kill her and specially came to help him.
It was very likely that the Black God had instructed her to do it. Because of the Demon Seed, the Black God might not be able to appear outside, discover his existence, and have Lian Rong send it over.
However, since the other party had discovered him, then his previous idea of sneaking in wouldn't work.
Gu Zheng held the jade ruler in his hand. He felt a kind of attraction from the right side. He knew that the jade ruler was guiding him. However, Gu Zheng didn't move forward again. Instead, he stood in place and pondered.
After a meal, Gu Zheng finally exhaled heavily. It was as if he wanted to spit out all the worries in his heart.
There were things that a man should do and things that he shouldn't do. No matter what, he had to give it a try.
However, Gu Zheng still took out something that looked like a red ball used by women from the Twin Jade Pearls. He directly hung it on his back like an ordinary decoration. Although it looked somewhat nondescript, Gu Zheng had no choice but to do so for safety.
After taking another deep breath, Gu Zheng followed the jade ruler in his hand and walked in the direction of leaving this place.
On the other side, after Lian Rong left Gu Zheng, she took out a black scale-like thing. A protective shield was stimulated and instantly soared into the sky. The restriction here seemed to have no effect on it. It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Soon, Lian Rong arrived in front of a valley. Although it was called a valley, it was actually just a crack at the foot of the mountain. There was a slightly larger open space inside. However, for them, it could be said to be a very large valley.
Lian Rong instantly rushed in through the wide crack. When she arrived inside, she saw that there were already dozens of people imprisoned there. There was a relatively large cage and a few smaller cages.
Lian Rong saw the Sect Master standing on a relatively high rock. He was commanding a few other people to move the smaller cages to a better position.
"Sect Master, I have done as you said." Lian Rong came below the Sect Master and respectfully said with her head lowered.
After witnessing Lord Black Deity's remarkable ability, everyone worked even more feverishly. They were determined to let Lord Black Deity escape as soon as possible.
"Well, next, we just have to wait for Lord Black Deity to come down." The Sect Master's eyes looked ahead. Those cages were now neatly arranged in a pentagram. There was a large enough space in the middle to wait for Lord Black Deity's arrival.
The Sect Master didn't care about Gu Zheng at all. If the Sect Master didn't specifically ask him to keep Gu Zheng alive, he only needed one hand to kill Gu Zheng.
Speaking of which, the Sect Master didn't even care about his own subordinates. He cared about Lord Black Deity the most. For Lord Black Deity, he was willing to give up everything.
Lian Rong also cast her gaze below. Among the various cages, except for the slightly larger cage, it was relatively quiet. Feng Yi and the others had personally tricked it.
The remaining dozens of people were all captured by the Sect Master alone.
At this time, among those people in the smaller cages, some were threatening them and some were begging them.
However, the Sect Master and the others were completely indifferent. These cages were completely isolated from the outside world. Even if they roared to the heavens, they still wouldn't know the existence of those people.
Just as Gu Zheng left the troublesome array, a beautiful figure streaked across the sky from the outside world and instantly entered the black hole.
A person from the Misty Island had just come out from the black hole. His face was full of smiles. It seemed that the harvest this time was quite good. When he saw the figure rushing over, he couldn't help but be stunned.
There were still a few days before the departure area closed. Many people had already begun to look for the exit. However, he was considered to have come out earlier. Why was there still someone entering at this time? It seemed a bit late.
However, that figure seemed to be somewhat familiar. It seemed to be the Alliance Master.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and smiled. It seemed that when he was teleported back, he was a bit confused. Why did the Alliance Master go in? It seemed that some fellow daoist who came late wanted to give it a try in the last few days.
Then, he didn't ask about this matter anymore. Just as he was about to go back, a rainbow light appeared in the sky and instantly disappeared into the black hole. However, the speed was so fast that he couldn't see it clearly. He wasn't even sure if someone had passed by.
"It seems that I really need to have a good rest. I'm actually hallucinating in broad daylight."
With that, he was too lazy to meet up with his companions. He stepped on a white cloud and slowly returned in the direction of the Misty Island.
Gu Zheng looked at the line valley in front of him and felt the strong feeling from the jade ruler in his hand. It seemed to want to fly out of his hand. Feeling the many dark and chaotic auras inside, Gu Zheng knew that he had found the place.
Releasing his hand, the jade ruler impatiently turned into a stream of light and instantly flew inside.
Gu Zheng followed closely behind and rushed in without fear.
Soon, he saw a familiar figure in the valley. When Gu Zheng just entered, a few pairs of eyes looked over at him. Their eyes were filled with ridicule.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to really dare to come. Should I say that you are stupid or brave?" The Sect Leader looked at him with admiration and said.
"Where's Xiang Xiang?" Gu Zheng swept a glance and realized that many people had been captured. However, he didn't see Gu Zheng's figure.
"Don't worry. Letting you come over will definitely reunite you. Anyway, you won't be able to escape death." The Sect Leader laughed and laughed. No matter how much he admired Ye Xiwen, he had single-handedly destroyed many of his trusted subordinates. They were the backbone of the Black Deity's cultivation and were killed by him just like that.
If he didn't kill Ye Xiwen, he wouldn't be able to get rid of the hatred in his heart. However, the Black Deity specifically wanted Ye Xiwen alive, so the Sect Leader didn't make a move. He just watched and didn't let Ye Xiwen rescue those people.
Gu Zheng saw that the Sect Leader didn't care about him. Moreover, Xiang Xiang wasn't here. Everything would only be known when the so-called Black Deity arrived.
Thus, Gu Zheng decided that he might as well jump onto a relatively tall stone platform and wait quietly.
He didn't try to save those people. He knew that he couldn't even protect himself now. Not to mention whether he had the ability to break those shackles, just the Sect Leader alone was enough to make him helpless.
No matter how heaven-defying he was, he couldn't challenge the Sect Leader in his current state. Moreover, even though the Sect Leader wasn't looking at him, there was always a faint pressure looking at him. It was warning him not to look for trouble.
At the same time that Gu Zheng arrived, a faint black fog began to appear on the ground in the middle of the empty space. As time passed, the black fog became thicker and thicker. Soon, it formed a three zhang tall black pattern on the ground, all of it condensing together.
A black light appeared from above and shot directly into the black fog. The black fog tumbled and began to form stone platforms made of fog. A layer of black light locked the black fog inside, and it looked like black crystals.
In Gu Zheng's eyes, a stone platform that looked like the shape of an altar was formed in the middle of the space for three days. Moreover, the black fog inside was still thickening. The black light didn't disappear and was still standing there. Moreover, the light seemed to be getting brighter and brighter.
At this moment, a violent aura came from afar. This aura was so violent that everyone could feel the other party's battle intent.
"Why is she here?" Gu Zheng looked at the entrance in surprise. It was actually the aura of the Star Alliance Leader, Xing Cai. Could it be that she knew something had happened?
Not long after, a beautiful figure appeared at the entrance of the valley. She floated in the air and looked around with a frown. When she saw Gu Zheng's position, she was obviously stunned. She didn't expect him to be here too. However, she still turned her gaze to the opposite side, where the Sect Leader and the others were.
"I didn't expect you to be hiding here. Not bad, your good days are coming to an end." A clear voice sounded in the air. Xing Cai's eyes were fixed in front of her. With a glance, she saw that there were actually some people who came to explore. Her voice was filled with uncontrollable anger.
There were almost no restrictions on her here. When the spikes found the secret realm, she came here. She was only stopped when she reached the stone door. She couldn't open the stone door and couldn't climb over the mountain. She could only feel that there was an existence that threatened her.
After coming here twice and finding that there wasn't much danger, she spread the news of this place. She didn't come here again.
However, it seemed that this was the other party's base. Those who couldn't get out in time were probably captured by them.
A towering aura rushed towards the Hierarch and the others. However, the Hierarch waved his hand gently, and the aura broke apart in mid-air. When the aura finally reached them, only a gentle breeze was left.
When Xing Cai saw this, her eyes narrowed. The other party seemed to be stronger here. If that was the case, she had to be careful.
"I didn't expect you to be able to find this place. Seems like there's a path to heaven but you don't want to take it. There's no door to hell but you want to barge in. You shall stay here today." The Sect Leader snorted coldly. He raised his hand, and a black light shot towards the wall beside him. A rumbling sound came from the other side of the valley. It seemed like the way back was blocked.
"It's too early to talk big. You can't do anything to me." At this time, after careful observation, there was no one else here except for them. Plus, there was Gu Zheng on his side.
Coupled with his powerful assistance, he would be able to pin down the others. Their chances of winning were also very high.
Not only would he be able to save those innocent people, but he would also be able to completely eradicate these bugs. Only when he left would he be able to feel at ease.
As for the Black God he was talking about, he was probably just a fictional character. Or maybe he didn't even exist.
"Hehe, since you're so confident, I'll let you know what despair is." The Sect Leader chuckled. He turned around and flew in the air, arriving in front of Xing Cai.
In this place, his strength would increase by another level because he had Lord Black God behind him. He had to protect her safety with his life and not let anyone disturb her.
The two of them stared at each other in the air. To them, this time, they had to fight to the death for the beliefs in their hearts.
Just as the two of them were about to fight, a vast pressure descended from the sky. Everyone, including Gu Zheng, was suppressed to the ground by this sudden pressure. Even the Sect Leader and Xing Cai were no exception.
The only difference was that the Sect Leader tried his best to raise his head. His eyes were filled with surprise as if he was looking forward to something.
On the other hand, Xing Cai was filled with shock. She didn't expect there to be such a powerful task here. Feeling this pressure, it seemed to be not inferior to the Grand Luo Realm.
Her face was filled with a trace of uneasiness. It seemed that the so-called Black God was really here and was about to appear.
The pressure came and went quickly. After a few breaths, the pressure had reached a level that everyone could withstand. Only then did they get up from the ground.
In the sky, a pitch-black fog was falling rapidly. At first, it looked like it was a hundred feet in size. As it fell, it gradually shrank. In the end, the fog landed on the altar.
There was a vague figure in it. However, with the existence of the black fog, one could only roughly see that it was a woman.
The Sect Leader waited until the black fog above had calmed down a little. He ignored Xing Cai beside him and led the others to the altar below. He bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Lord Black God."
The person behind him did the same thing and followed up with another sentence.
"Greetings, Lord Black God."
However, Xing Cai didn't ask about Lord Black God. Looking at the unguarded back of the Sect Leader, she made up her mind. In an instant, a silver needle appeared on her finger. It was more like a decoration that was stuck in her hair. She instantly threw it at the Sect Leader's back.
In the blink of an eye, the silver needle had already flown to the Sect Leader's back. In the next moment, it was going to pierce through his back and into his heart. However, the Sect Leader was still bowing respectfully. It was as if he didn't notice the attack from behind and wasn't prepared at all.
Xing Cai's lips curled into a smile. As long as she hit the Sect Leader, the Sect Leader would at least be in a heavily injured state. It didn't matter if the Black God was a Grand Luo or not. She had to try her best.
However, just as her smile widened a little, a black dot suddenly appeared from the altar and shot out. It instantly broke the long needle into two and resolved the Sect Leader's crisis.
The others were just like the Sect Leader. They didn't even move their bodies. It was as if they weren't worried about the Sect Leader's danger at all.
