"Haha, just you wait. When I get back, I'll skin your maidservant alive and make her suffer. Then, I'll capture you and make you watch as she dies."
Vicious words came out of the demonic beast's mouth. The resentment in his voice was enough to drown him.
Burning the last of his powers and even his life force, the demonic beast rushed towards the teleportation formation like a ray of light. As long as he put half of his palm into it, he could leave this place with just a thought. He could even call for reinforcements and come back to kill him.
A gust of wind blew through the bamboo forest, and the leaves rustled softly above the Demonic Beast's head. The Demonic Beast felt the pain of being pricked by needles from its numb body. It subconsciously raised its head to look, and its entire face contorted as it cried out in despair.
"No!"
The despairing and desolate voice was unable to stop the azure longsword above him. A small whirlwind revolved around the sword as it rapidly charged towards him from mid-air.
He wanted to increase his speed again and rush into the teleportation formation before the other party fell. But this was already his fastest speed. There was no way to increase his speed.
He could only watch in despair as the sword pierced through his chest and nailed him to the ground. Only the hilt of the sword was exposed.
Waves of Immortal Qi stirred in his body. He could not breathe. He looked at the teleportation formation in front of him, but he could not get closer.
On the other side, Gu Zheng was rushing over at an extremely fast speed. Originally, he had hidden the green sword to hide the enemy in the surroundings. However, it never appeared. Gu Zheng guessed that the enemy might have already left.
In the end, he hid it at the side. But Gu Zheng remembered that when Xue 'er was teleported, the teleportation formation was nearby. He hid it there, thinking that it might be useful in the future. He did not expect that it would be useful in the end.
The demonic beast saw Gu Zheng rushing towards him with a murderous aura. He knew that he had no hope. A fiery tongue shot out from his mouth and rushed into the teleportation formation. There was a soft explosion, as if he wanted to destroy the teleportation formation.
Unfortunately, its power was too weak. Under Gu Zheng's anxious gaze, the light outside the teleportation array only flashed for a moment before returning to normal.
Gu Zheng still had to rely on it to sneak into the other party's lair to rescue Xue 'er. This was the only way to reach the other party, and he didn't know where the other party was hiding.
Gu Zheng sped up and arrived at the side of the Demonic Beast in a few flashes. Just as he was about to reach out his hand and completely subdue the beast, it suddenly raised its flat and long mouth and looked at him with its turbid eyes. It revealed a trace of a strange smile and its entire body turned red.
"Not good!" Gu Zheng immediately retreated. However, the other party had been hiding all this time just for this moment.
"Boom!" An earth-shattering explosion rang out. Gu Zheng didn't manage to protect himself in time. Instead, he gave Qing Jian an order, and then he was blown away.
Qing Jian roared and an illusory figure disappeared from the other party's body, turning into a misty green light in front of the teleportation formation.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng had a layer of protection on his body and he had retreated in time, so he didn't suffer too much damage. He only spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. Ignoring his own injuries, he hurriedly flew forward to check.
A huge crater appeared on the ground, and the demonic beast's figure had been blown to pieces. Only a few pieces of its remains remained, which were the last traces of its existence in this world.
The teleportation formation that Gu Zheng was most worried about was still standing there, as if it hadn't been affected much. However, Qing Jian, which was protecting it, had lost all its light. It was like a piece of scrap metal, completely destroyed.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't feel bad about the destruction of Qing Jian at all.
Gu Zheng hurriedly took out a few pills and put them into his mouth, slowly suppressing the boiling blood in his body. After confirming that there was nothing suspicious or threatening around him, Gu Zheng walked to a relatively clean area and sat down.
A month later, a bright light appeared in the dark cave. Gu Zheng, who had his eyes closed, had finally recovered to his peak condition. The main thing was that his injuries weren't too serious, but he had consumed a lot of energy.
In fact, Gu Zheng's injuries had mostly healed a week ago. However, in order to prepare to enter the enemy's nest, Gu Zheng patiently continued to recuperate for a period of time. He only woke up when he had recovered to his peak condition.
At this time, the entire cave was pitch black. Only the faint light from the teleportation formation in the distance illuminated the small space. Gu Zheng once again checked the condition of his body. He took a deep breath and stood on top of the teleportation formation.
The familiar light began to flash, and Gu Zheng's figure quickly disappeared from the cave.
When Gu Zheng disappeared from the cave, the other students were about to finish their cultivation. A figure hurriedly rushed into the resting room. Because he had been cultivating, he had felt something in his heart. He hadn't woken up until just before the end. After looking around, he didn't find that person, so he hurriedly went to find Cheng Yi.
Pushing open the door to the resting room, he was shocked by what he saw. His brother's clothes were scattered on the bed, but he was nowhere to be seen. As for the skinny man, he was not breathing at all. Blood flowed out of his face, and he found that he had been dead for a long time.
Not long after, an elder with a face full of wrinkles and wearing a light silver robe pushed open the black door, followed by a dozen or so other elders. They all walked into the passageway. Each of them had a faint red jade on their body, which emitted a weak warm current, just enough to expel the cold Qi in their bodies.
The last group of people stood in front of Snow's door. With a wave of his hand, the Elder in silver unlocked the door and walked in.
Looking at Snow, who was still in a daze, the Elder in silver waved his hand at her head. With a 'bang', Snow's body turned into a puff of white smoke and dissipated in the air. The Elder's face immediately turned ashen, and he coldly said to the people behind him.
"Who are the missing people this time?"
"Two disciples are missing. There are no traces of them. One of them had his heart broken and died. The other was knocked unconscious in his room. Everyone is on the same side. There are no outsiders." This was the Elder in charge of the investigation. He immediately replied respectfully.
He understood the Elder in silver's meaning and directly reported the results of the investigation. Those who were able to enter the Great Snow Mountain would definitely have their relationships investigated. Normally, outsiders wouldn't be able to sneak in.
However, although the security here was tight, it had been many years since an enemy had invaded. It was very likely that some vicious people had sneaked in. Moreover, the two missing disciples had probably met with a tragic end.
Furthermore, the other party had actually managed to quietly rescue the demoness who they had just caught. There wasn't even a trace of alarm. Just how many secrets did the other party know about them? Thinking about it carefully, it was extremely frightening.
Who would have thought that even this place could be infiltrated? It was really too terrifying.
The Elder in silver frowned. Just as he was about to say something, a figure hurried in from outside and whispered a few words to him.
"Hmph, go back and investigate carefully. Report any clues you find." The Elder in silver shouted. With a flick of his sleeve, he immediately left without looking at the others.
Because that person didn't hide anything, although his voice was soft, everyone heard it clearly.
An Elder who was on duty at the front of the mountain had just died. There was also no trace of his waist token. How could the Elder in silver not be angry?
One by one, they left the place. Everyone could feel the residual spatial fluctuations, but they couldn't find any traces of the other party. There was nothing they could do.
As for the Elder who was leading the group, he thought about the latest news below and muttered to himself.
"The sky is going to change!"
In a house in the territory, Cheng Yang was carrying Cheng Yi and constantly checking. In the end, he found that the other party had indeed been unconscious for too long and there was no problem with his body. Only then did he feel relieved.
No wonder that fake "Cheng Yi" looked a little strange. It turned out that he was impersonated.
The two of them calmed down a little. At this time, Cheng Yi suddenly thought of something. He took out a small bottle and said, "This should be left behind by that person. It seems to be some kind of pill."
Cheng Yang's heart moved. He immediately reported to the higher-ups with him.
On the mountain peak, two people in silver robes were observing the jade bottle in their hands.
"Can you see anything?" The Elder in silver robes from before asked.
"No, but I can feel that this person's strength is very high. It seems to be a level above us." Although the other person also looked old, his jet-black hair made him look much younger.
"Yes, but I'm sure that this person should be a friend and not an enemy. Maybe he helped us solve some problems."
After a few days of investigation, they didn't find any problems at all. It seemed that this was just a special case. The two of them didn't believe it at all. It could only mean that the other party hid too deeply.
"En, chaos is coming. It seems that another catastrophe is coming. Let's go inform the sect leader and report the situation. It seems that the sect leader has already returned. It's just that he has something to do outside and is delayed."
The light on the token that the sect leader left behind was now shining brighter and brighter. It had been shining for hundreds of years. This meant that the other party was definitely not far from here. Perhaps he was doing something. However, at this moment, they had no choice but to inform the other party. Otherwise, if the three of them were to plan for the worst, they wouldn't be able to control the situation.
"En, let's go. I really hope that the sect leader can come back soon." The two figures slowly walked into the distance and disappeared in the wind and snow.
At this moment, Gu Zheng's figure turned and appeared in an unfamiliar place.
Gu Zheng had already changed his appearance. He didn't have time to look at Western Zhou and was ready to turn invisible. However, a lazy voice came from the side, causing Gu Zheng's body to stiffen.
"Sir, it seems that you can't wait and came early. The two of us are the earliest group here. The others haven't arrived yet."
"En." Gu Zheng said vaguely. He was nervous, but it couldn't be seen from the outside. He naturally looked at the person who was talking to him.
It was a woman in a black robe. Even her face was covered with a black veil, revealing only a pair of black eyes. She was sitting on a protruding rock. From the lock of hair on her head, one could tell that she was a woman.
The faint smell of blood on her body could be detected from afar. It seemed that this woman was also a vicious person.
When she saw Gu Zheng looking over, she raised her eyebrows and stared straight at Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng felt like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake. It was extremely dangerous.
The woman was also an expert in the middle stage of Jin Xian. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to be a member of the human race. She held a black dagger in her hand that had a faint blue glow. It was like a butterfly flipping back and forth in her hand. It seemed like she was doing this to pass time, or it could be a cover for her vigilance.
"Friend, please wait for a moment on the side. I reckon that the others will be arriving soon. As long as this operation is successful, we will definitely obtain quite a bit of reward. How about we split it together when the time comes?" The black clothed woman, Hei, could tell that Gu Zheng's cultivation was similar to hers, so she politely said.
She wiped the dagger in her hand and hid it somewhere. She jumped down from the high platform and approached Gu Zheng. She introduced herself to Gu Zheng.
"Ling Li."
Gu Zheng didn't need to look to know that she was using a fake name. She didn't even dare to show her face. Fortunately, he was not in his original look.
"Shi Lei."
Gu Zheng directly took out his previous name. At this moment, Gu Zheng also left his place and started to look around.
At this moment, they were in a place that looked like a canyon. The peak of the mountain couldn't be seen from above, and only a narrow crack allowed them to see the blue sky. There were some ordinary flowers and trees scattered around the mountain walls and the surroundings. This made Gu Zheng feel relieved.
According to his senses, he should still be in Bass Mountain Range. Because he could still sense Xue 'er's situation, he knew that she was still intact. However, he couldn't pinpoint her location. He could only sense that she was around him.
Gu Zheng knew that this must be a kind of interference. It was just an illusion. Additionally, if he was a certain distance away from her, this kind of feeling would disappear.
And that Ling Li saw that Gu Zheng didn't want to talk. She shrugged her shoulders and came to the side. She was very satisfied with this strong support. She thought that she was the only expert here. The success rate was very high, and the danger seemed to be greatly reduced.
Gu Zheng also came to the side silently. He wondered in his heart, why did the teleportation array teleport him here? Shouldn't it be teleported to the opponent's nest?
Gu Zheng couldn't figure it out either. It seemed like something had gone wrong. However, he also knew why he was teleported here. There was a pitch-black array engraved on the ground. It wasn't used for teleportation, but for positioning.
Perhaps the explosion of the opponent's demon beast interfered with the teleportation array. Thinking of this, a trace of coldness emerged in Gu Zheng's heart. If that was the case, without this positioning array, who knew where he would be teleported to? It was very likely that he would be trapped inside.
At this time, the black teleportation array flashed twice. A figure emerged from the black array. A fierce-looking man walked out from it.
When Ling Li saw this, her eyes flashed with a trace of a smile. She straightened her body slightly. Before she could greet him, another figure appeared.
This was a shriveled old man. He was thin and short, like a skeleton draped in human skin. His deep eye sockets looked very scary. His two dark blue eyes looked around, and he also silently walked to the side.
"Black Charcoal, I knew you would also participate. I'm so happy to see you."
Ling Li happily greeted the former. Gu Zheng raised his head and saw that he was only an early Jin Xian. Although he was surrounded by a fierce murderous aura, to Gu Zheng, it was only a curiosity. It was not a threat at all.
Gu Zheng's mouth twitched as he watched the other party chatting cheerfully at the side. Charcoal then pulled Ling Li aside and introduced the skeletal man at the side. Gu Zheng then quietly walked to the side.
He had only taken a few steps when Ling Li's surprised voice came from behind him.
Ling Li quickly walked up and stood in front of Gu Zheng. She said, "Brother Shi Lei, not everyone is here yet. I received the notice that there is still one person who has not arrived. I think it's better for us to act together. The opponent's strength is not to be underestimated. This is the best way to protect ourselves."
"Looks like Brother Shi Lei is participating in a mission for the first time. Don't be anxious. Even if you complete the mission alone, everyone will share it. This is too disadvantageous. Moreover, you don't know the location of the mission." Ling Li comforted, but she did not doubt Gu Zheng's identity.
At the same time, the other two looked over curiously, constantly sizing up Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Why is it so troublesome? The sooner we finish this, the sooner we can go back. Why is that person so slow?"
"Brother, don't be anxious. Perhaps there is some delay. Moreover, there is still a day before the deadline. Don't be impatient. It will be over in the blink of an eye."
Ling Li continued. She had no choice. Gu Zheng's cultivation was here, and the other party's strength was similar to hers. Of course, she hoped that he would not act alone. If Gu Zheng was careless and died, then it would be terrible.
A few thoughts flashed through Gu Zheng's mind, so he went with the flow and stayed at the side. Once again, he went to the side wall and leaned against it with his eyes closed, waiting for the fifth person to arrive.
However, his body was also prepared. He did not know if the sixth person would come back. After all, he came here by accident. If so, he would see if he could fight or run.
When the skeletal old man was probing him, he found a trace of demonic Qi. Moreover, it seemed a little familiar.
Suddenly, the teleportation array flashed. However, no one appeared. Everyone just glanced at it and did not pay attention to it. They thought that the teleportation array was adjusting itself. In fact, it would flash every once in a while.
Not long after, a brawny man with red eyes appeared. He looked at everyone and did not say anything. Instead, he stood at the side.
Gu Zheng's lips curled into a smile. This was getting more and more interesting.
Among the five people, Ling Li and Gu Zheng were Jin Xian intermediate stage. Charcoal and the brawny man with red eyes were Jin Xian early stage. The skeletal old man was only at the peak of the Sky Immortal stage.
