"How unlucky. If I had known earlier, I would have stayed away from them. After being delayed for two days, I keep feeling like I will be overtaken. How unlucky." The Left Protector stood up and walked back and forth as if he was stretching his muscles.
"Yes, but I keep feeling some chest pain. I don't know if it's because I haven't recovered yet. How depressing." The Right Protector grumbled on the stool.
"Why don't you rest for a while more? Don't force yourself. I don't lack time. Let's go out together later." The Left Protector took out another medicinal pill and swallowed it.
"Thank you. Okay." The Right Protector took it and swallowed it. Suddenly, he thought of something and raised his head to speak to the person in front of him.
"By the way, do you know if any monsters have been caught recently? Last time, the law enforcement team went down the mountain to catch some demoness. "
The Left Protector stood still and thought for a moment before saying, "I know. You were cultivating in your room and didn't see it. A beautiful little girl was tied up and placed there. But at that time, I didn't notice that she was a monster. I was curious about it and asked others."
"Is that so? Who knows? Anyway, everything is up to them. But last time, I went down the mountain with a friend of mine. He was also in the law enforcement team. He told me that this door can be opened easily. Of course, it's outside. "The Right Protector spoke mysteriously.
"Is what you said true? Tell me how to open it. " The Left Protector's eyes lit up. He glanced at Gu Zheng, who was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and whispered to the Right Protector like the thin man.
"I want to know what the monsters inside look like. It's said that they are all imprisoned inside and set up with a layer of restriction. Why don't we go take a look?"
"Are you crazy? Don't you know that it's a forbidden area? If you are caught, your cultivation will be destroyed and you will be expelled from the sect. Besides, what's so good about those monsters? " The Right Protector looked at him with his eyes wide open. Then, he shook his head and whispered, afraid that the other two would hear him.
"It doesn't matter. There are only the two of us here. Tell me the method and I will go in myself. At most, I will agree to what you said last time." The Left Protector saw that the other party didn't agree and immediately used his trump card.
"Okay, I will tell you secretly." After thinking for a moment, the Right Protector's expression kept changing..............
"So it is, so it is." Looking at the Left Protector who was leaning towards him, the Right Protector whispered in his ear in a barely audible voice.
"So that's how it is. Thank you. When it's almost over, help me keep a lookout. It'll only take a while. I'll come out after I see what it's like inside." The Left Protector was overjoyed.
"No problem, as long as you don't forget what you promised me," the Protector of the Right instructed.
"Don't worry, we'll go out first. When there's no one around, we'll sneak in."
After that, the two of them chatted and laughed as they left. Only Gu Zheng and the skinny man were left in the room.
Gu Zheng carefully controlled his emotions, not allowing his heartbeat to accelerate. He never thought that he would encounter such a situation here. Fortunately, he had been pretending to be adjusting his breathing. Otherwise, he would have missed this good show.
Of course, Gu Zheng also wondered how it could be so coincidental that the two of them would talk about this at this time. However, he carefully observed them and found that they were two ordinary Snow Mountain disciples. Moreover, he deliberately revealed a trace of his aura, but deliberately hid it. Only those with a certain level of cultivation would be able to detect it. However, the other party did not seem to notice it at all.
Gu Zheng thought about it. He had not made a move since he came here. The other party definitely would not have thought that he would sneak in so quickly. Therefore, it could only be a coincidence.
Moreover, on the way here, he vaguely remembered that someone had greeted them. Even when he was about to come down, that person had asked him if he needed help. It seemed that he could eliminate that person.
After the other party left, Gu Zheng carefully checked the lounge back and forth. After making sure that there was no surveillance or anything suspicious, Gu Zheng quietly got up.
With a casual point of his finger, a golden light shot into the thin man's body. It was not harmful. Instead, it helped him recover faster and let him sleep more soundly. Gu Zheng took off the clothes of the person he was wearing and changed into his own clothes. Then, he walked in front of the door.
Although the other party's voice was very low, under normal circumstances, the person Gu Zheng replaced would not be able to hear it clearly even if they focused on eavesdropping. Perhaps none of them would have thought that Gu Zheng was here.
Therefore, Gu Zheng heard the other party's method without missing a single word. He also knew how to open the sealed door.
For such an important place, there would definitely be an alarm. If there was any intrusion, no matter whether it was inside or outside, it would definitely attract everyone's attention. However, he did not expect that there would be such a big loophole.
Perhaps it was not a loophole. It was just convenient for the lower level disciples and elders to enter and exit. Otherwise, who would have thought that as long as you imitated the aura of the seal, you could completely pass through this seemingly sturdy black door.
Even Gu Zheng would not have thought of this. It had to be said that this idea was very clever. However, once it was seen through, it would be very easy to enter. It would be as easy as entering one's own backyard.
Gu Zheng carefully observed from the outside for a while. First, he stretched out his right arm. The upper part of his arm had turned into a ball of black light that flowed around it. Bits of black Qi constantly rose from it. It was exactly the same as the aura of the black door.
Gu Zheng tentatively stepped forward. The seemingly indestructible black door actually rippled. The front half of Gu Zheng's arm actually passed through it and disappeared inside. A dark and cold feeling came from the end of his arm.
Gu Zheng's entire body was quickly surrounded by the black light. He stepped forward. It was as if he had passed through a curtain of water. His body felt cold, and he once again arrived at a new place.
A large expanse of darkness enveloped him. Only a faint green light reflected off the walls. The entire space was filled with a layer of white mist. It was as if he was in a layer of clouds. The bone-chilling cold kept surging toward Gu Zheng's body. Even his consciousness felt as if it was about to be frozen.
Even with Gu Zheng's body, he could feel it. He really did not know how the Snow Mountain people had entered. They probably relied on some special magic item.
At this time, Gu Zheng was facing a long corridor. At the end was a corner. He could faintly see a blue light constantly flashing. Behind him was the black door. There was no other way.
Gu Zheng walked through the empty corridor. Even though Gu Zheng had already lightened his footsteps, there was still a slight sound in the corridor. It was as if the slightest sound could be magnified many times over. It gave Gu Zheng a fright. Fortunately, nothing else happened.
Because his consciousness was limited, Gu Zheng did not know if there were any traps ahead. He could only walk forward step by step.
Gu Zheng walked all the way to the end without incident. He found a passage that was much larger than this one. It was still a corridor, and the end was still the same corner.
However, there were bright railings on both sides. Blue flames flowed continuously from the top to the bottom. It was an endless cycle, and the entire passage was brightly lit.
At this moment, the surrounding walls had changed from azure blue to dark purple. The white frost mist was also mixed with traces of black demonic aura. Gu Zheng observed for a moment and found that those were only restrictions used to imprison the people inside.
Next to him was an empty prison-like room. Although it was completely empty, Gu Zheng was still able to use the bright light to discover some scattered hairs in the corner. Faint Yao Qi was being emitted from them.
It seemed that all the demons caught by the Great Snow Mountain were imprisoned here.
Gu Zheng took a deep breath. A cold Qi circled around his body, causing Gu Zheng to involuntarily shiver. This place was indeed very strange. It seemed that the Great Snow Mountain had put in a lot of effort to prevent these demons from having any special abilities.
As long as they dared to escape from this prison, they would probably die in the corridor outside.
This was because if these demons did not surrender, their consciousness would be erased and they would become the punching bags of some outstanding disciples. Even if they surrendered, their treatment would not be much better. At most, their lives would be barely guaranteed, but they would still be used as sparring partners for some disciples. Sometimes, they would even go down the mountain with some disciples to help them gain experience.
Gu Zheng slowly walked in. He looked inside to see if Xue 'er was inside. He could no longer sense her specific aura because the air was filled with all kinds of demon Qi. It was impossible to distinguish.
This row was basically empty. There was no one except for the corpse of an unknown creature that had curled up into a ball. It seemed that it had unknowingly died here.
When he came to the next corner, Gu Zheng found that the air was much colder. It was similar to the situation before. Rows of blue bars lit up continuously. However, there were already many demons here. They were now in their original forms and lying motionless as if they were hibernating.
Gu Zheng looked carefully. They were all common creatures. One-third of the cage was filled. They were all Little Goblin around Rank 3. Some of them had not even transformed and were still in their original forms.
Gu Zheng hastened his footsteps and took a quick look. Then, he turned around and entered the third passageway.
This should be the last passage because there was a stone wall at the end. There was no path.
In this place, the demons inside were at least at the fifth rank. The moment he entered, countless green and black eyes appeared behind the railing, causing Gu Zheng's hair to stand on end.
The demons at the back were all awake. Most of them were in their human forms. When he came over, they all looked at him coldly. Their eyes were filled with coldness and anger.
However, they could not break through this simple barrier. Although the barrier was very weak and could be broken through by a Heaven Immortal, it was still a barrier that was difficult for them to cross. Of course, it was still protecting them.
Once they broke through this barrier, the temperature outside would instantly freeze them into a lump of ice. They would be dead.
A demon with two antlers on its head took a step forward and made the sound of iron chains. Gu Zheng then realized that there were light blue shackles on their necks and limbs. They made clanking sounds as they moved.
Gu Zheng started to move forward under their gazes. He had a premonition that Xue 'er must be here.
Soon, when he was about to reach the end, Gu Zheng finally saw a familiar figure. She was wearing a light red dress. She was very eye-catching. Her two hands were hanging high above her head. They were hung by two shackles and were suspended in the air. Even her two legs were shackled and were firmly trapped in the air.
"Xue 'er." Gu Zheng called out quietly. However, the other party was still unconscious and did not seem to be able to hear the movements outside.
"Xue 'er, can you hear me? I am here to save you. "Gu Zheng's voice was slightly louder. However, in this empty space, it was especially ear-piercing.
"Hua la, hua la"
When the demons in the cages heard Gu Zheng's shout, how could they not understand that this person was actually here to save someone? They all went to the side of the bars.
"My lord, please save me together. I will definitely reward you handsomely."
"My lord, please take me with you. I will do anything for you."
The others shouted one after another. They wanted Gu Zheng to save them together. They desperately promised that they would do everything in their power to take revenge. They more or less knew about their tragic fates. Seeing this opportunity, how could they not grab it with all their might?
Their chaotic cries for help caused the entire space to become incredibly noisy. Gu Zheng was afraid that he would attract the attention of the Great Snow Mountain, so he released a powerful aura from his body, controlling it to stay within the corridor and not spread out.
After the Little Goblin felt the terrifying aura, they knew that Gu Zheng was angry. They all shut their mouths and looked at him with hopeful and hopeful eyes, hoping that he would save them.
Seeing that the surroundings were quiet, Gu Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that Xue 'er was still unconscious, Gu Zheng flashed and entered the cage.
The temperature inside was indeed not as cold as outside. Gu Zheng's hand lit up with a golden light. He gently placed his hand on Xue 'er's head. Layers of warm aura entered her body and continuously healed her internal injuries.
He did not expect that in just a few years, Xue 'er's cultivation had already reached Rank 5. She was even one level higher than Zhao Man. He did not know how much she had suffered.
"Wu …"
Snow finally awoke from her unconscious state, and she felt a familiar aura. She felt as if she was in a dream, but the warmth that radiated from her body told her that everything was real and not an illusion. As her mental state improved, her body gradually returned to its normal state. She finally realized that the person in front of her was Sir Gu, and not an illusion that she had conjured up.
"Young Master Gu."
Even now, Xue 'er still didn't dare to believe it. A layer of misty mist appeared in her eyes. At that time, she had secretly sneaked back to see the scene of the battle. That scene was like the destruction of heaven and earth, and there was still a terrifying aura lingering in the air. She had thought that Gu Zheng had died, and that was why she had gone crazy later on.
"Mm, don't move. Let me remove these shackles for you."
Seeing that Xue 'er had woken up, Gu Zheng was sure that there was no special aura on the shackles. He was about to break them when he put Xiang Xiang down.
"Young Master Gu, be careful. I remember that in my daze, I seemed to have heard that they had prepared some traps to deal with you." Seeing that Gu Zheng was about to make a move, Xue 'er seemed to have remembered something and hurriedly said.
"Mm, don't worry. They will not expect me to appear here." Gu Zheng's movements froze. He once again scanned the small space. When he didn't find anything wrong, he hit the shackles on his feet.
"Ding!"
Two faint golden lights flashed in the air, and the shackles fell to the ground.
Xue 'er was just about to concentrate and raise her Qi to deal with the feeling of her body falling. However, she felt as if she was stepping on solid ground. It was as if there was something invisible under her feet. She did not need to look to know that it was Gu Zheng's considerate action.
"Young Master Gu, thank you." Xue 'er's thanks contained many meanings. She did not expect that Gu Zheng would take such a big risk to save her.
"Silly girl, what are you thanking me for? You are still my servant. How can I watch you get hurt? Even if you are captured again, I will not hesitate to save you." Gu Zheng joked. At the same time, a golden light gathered in his hand again, preparing to break the last shackles on her.
Xue 'er did not say anything. Back then, she had only agreed to it foolishly. However, Gu Zheng did not treat her like a servant anymore. He treated her like a family member, causing her to forget what she had agreed to do.
With two crisp sounds, Xue 'er landed steadily on the ground. However, in the instant that she landed, a blue light flashed across her body. The blue light that had been flowing outside suddenly shone brightly. Countless sky-blue thin lines formed, and layer by layer, appeared between the cracks of the railings. In an instant, a blue water screen blocked her way.
At the same time, the purple walls on both sides suddenly shot out white cold air. In an instant, a large layer of ice had formed around Xue 'er. Her eyes were still filled with joy as if she had been saved. However, there was a faint layer of blue light protecting her, preventing her from receiving any fatal injuries.
"There was actually an ambush."
A thought flashed through Gu Zheng's mind. A faint layer of golden light spread out, blocking the cold air from entering her body.
The other party had actually done something to Xiang Xiang's body. The moment she landed, the mechanism would activate. However, when he had treated her, he had not noticed anything wrong with her body.
The person who had placed the restriction was not much weaker than him. In fact, they might even be slightly stronger than him. That was why they had been able to fool him.
However, the first thing he had to do was to break out of this place. The person who had set this trap must have known that he had come. He had to escape before the other party arrived.
With a whoosh, a golden sword beam slashed towards the water screen in front of him.
Clang!
The water screen looked soft, but when the sword beam struck it, it became as hard as steel. The sword beam was instantly scattered in the air by the rebounding force.
This time, Gu Zheng's expression turned serious. He took the initiative and charged forward. Wave after wave of attacks rained down on the barrier. However, the barrier was abnormally strong. In just a few breaths' time, Gu Zheng had already launched thousands of attacks. However, aside from the fact that the light on the barrier had dimmed slightly, there were no signs of it breaking.
Although part of the reason was due to him controlling his strength, the barrier was still very strong.
Just as Gu Zheng was about to catch his breath and continue forward, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the corridor. Judging from the footsteps, there should be two people.
He had not expected the other party to arrive so quickly.
