"That's great. Let's quickly break it. I feel like we don't have much time left. The Heavenly Essence Plant will mature at any moment. We need to hurry." Senior Deng was pleasantly surprised.
After Lingli heard this, she didn't waste any time. Specks of white light flashed on her hand and suddenly spun in the air, forming a circle and stopping in midair.
"Go!"
Lingli shouted and spat out a small white ball from her mouth. It stopped in the middle of the circle, and the white circle began to slowly spin and fly up to a certain spot.
Ding Dong!
Just like a stone falling into water, the circle suddenly stopped in the air and began to rapidly revolve. At the same time, the white ball in the middle began to emit a dazzling white light.
Ripples began to appear in the air, just like when a stone fell into water. The originally calm surface of the lake was broken and everyone's vision began to blur.
Bang!
The sound of glass shattering echoed in everyone's ears. A completely different scene appeared in front of them. The formless fragments suddenly dissipated, revealing their original appearance.
The originally sparse vegetation was no longer present. A verdant and beautiful mountain peak appeared before everyone's eyes. The trees on the peak appeared even more lively and verdant.
A faint and pure spiritual Qi rushed towards them. Gu Zheng felt as if all the pores on his body were greedily breathing in, causing his mind to tremble. The fatigue he felt from traveling for several days had completely disappeared.
"It seems they didn't expect you to bring us here. The defense isn't strong. Even those two fellow daoists will be able to easily break it." Ling Li said to everyone.
"That would be for the best. This time, we will definitely catch them off guard. Previously, I was the strongest one to harass them. It seems that they really thought that we were just fooling around and didn't take it to heart," Senior Deng said to everyone with a smile.
"Don't worry. As long as they dare to come out, I'll definitely use my thunderous power to destroy them." Ling Li confidently said. She took out two ring-like weapons, one in each hand.
This was a weapon specially made for her. As soon as it appeared, it attracted everyone's attention.
Coincidentally, there were five small holes on the ring. Fingers could be inserted into the ring for the other party to grasp. The bright and clean surface of the mirror flashed with layers of white light, and the sharp edges of the jagged outer ring constantly stimulated everyone's eyes.
"My weapon is like jade, made from Ten Thousand Year Crystal White Jade. It is smooth and beautiful, just like my heart." Ling Li raised her weapon and looked at it with infatuation. It was her favorite weapon and the weapon that had accompanied her for the longest time.
Seeing how much Lingli wanted to be in the limelight, Gu Zheng was naturally willing to be a supporting character. She probably had something to ask of Goblin, or she had other requests in private. Otherwise, with her status, why would she make such a gesture? She definitely had a motive.
"Let's go." Senior Deng raised his head, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
Along with the disappearance of the barrier, a towering stone gate appeared halfway up the mountain. Within a radius of a few feet, it was completely empty. There were no plants at all. Everyone could tell at a glance that this should be the place that Senior Deng was looking for.
Charcoal did not hold back. He opened his mouth and spat out a long black saber. However, the strange thing was that there was no hilt, only the body of the saber.
After evolving, Charcoal took out a black cloth from his hand and wrapped it around his left hand. The long saber that was buzzing in the air turned into a black light and automatically jumped into his hand. When the sharp blade touched the black cloth in his hand, it actually slowly merged into one.
Speaking of strange weapons, Ling Li's weapons were not commonly seen, but she had seen them occasionally. Charcoal's weapon was really too rare. He actually used his hand as a scabbard. Although it would greatly increase the power of the weapon, it would also increase the damage received. It seemed like he was a desperate guy. It was a miracle that he was still alive.
Meanwhile, the red-eyed brawny man took out a huge mountain-splitting axe. Just the handle alone was as tall as three people. Even the others were shocked. Such a huge weapon was rarely used. Although it was powerful, it was too inflexible.
Ling Li was just about to fly up when she saw that Gu Zheng was still standing there motionlessly. She asked, "Brother Shi Lei, what is your weapon? Why don't you take it out?"
Gu Zheng hesitated for a moment, and an ordinary flying sword suddenly appeared in his hand. He was just about to say something to brush it off when the stone gate above opened by itself.
Everyone's attention was instantly attracted, and Ling Li forgot to ask Gu Zheng her question. A very handsome middle-aged man appeared in front of everyone.
The middle-aged man's smiling face slowly moved past Senior Deng. When he saw Charcoal and the red-eyed brawny man, his smile faded. When he saw Gu Zheng and Ling Li, his expression suddenly became serious. He instantly took out a yellow round mirror and covered his whole body. At the same time, a ruyi appeared in his hand and turned into a green net in front of him.
"Hmph, I spared your life the last few times. Why did you bring so many people this time? Do you have something to tell me?" The middle-aged man seemed to know that the other party did not come with good intentions. He snorted coldly and his eyes kept flashing.
"You took my things, and you still have the face to ask me? This time, my friend heard about my situation and came to my defense. If you know what's good for you, leave now. I can pretend that I don't know about your existence." With strong support behind him, Senior Deng spoke with more confidence. He looked at the other party and his tone was full of threat.
"What a joke. Your things. I have been waiting for them since ten thousand years ago. However, something happened in between, so I went out for a trip. Are you blind? You didn't see the restriction I left behind. "The middle-aged man saw how shameless the other party was and immediately retorted sarcastically.
At the same time, he carefully observed their cultivation. When he came out just now, he was attracted by the black-clothed woman. Unexpectedly, her cultivation was the same as his.
The red-eyed man and the muscular man behind her were only at the Jin Xian Early Stage. He could barely ignore them. As for this bastard, he did not even look at him. He was at the peak of the Heaven Immortal Realm. He could kill him with just a breath.
However, that seemingly gentle and harmless young man with a smile on his face did not seem to emit any aura. In fact, he felt that the young man was stronger than the woman in front of him. Compared to him, the young man was stronger and not weaker.
This was bad. In order to protect this Heaven Essence Plant, he had just spent a lot of energy nourishing it. Moreover, he had also set up an illusion array. He was not in his best condition at all.
Even if he had a few powerful magical treasures, the other party had two strong cultivations and two slightly weaker cultivations. They were not people he could deal with easily.
His heart was getting heavier and heavier. He did not expect that the other party would invite such a helper. It seemed that this was going to be a little dangerous. He was even wondering if he should give up on this Heaven Essence Plant.
"How about it? Consider my suggestion and leave immediately. I will not pursue this matter with you." Seeing that the other party did not say anything and instead looked at him with an unsightly expression, Senior Deng knew that the other party's strength had deeply deterred him. He wanted to scare him away.
However, he did not expect that his words would not only have no effect, but also deeply provoked the other party. The other party shouted.
"Bullshit! Don't you want it? Come and get it yourself. I'd rather not have it and destroy it. "
Following this, a black crystal appeared in the other party's hand. He threw it upwards, and a white light shot out from his hand into the crystal. The black crystal gave off a boundless black light, and black smoke rose from it. In the blink of an eye, the smoke covered the entire area, and the other party lost sight of him.
When the other party took out the crystal, Ling Li sent out a sharp energy wave in an attempt to stop the other party. However, the other party was too fast. When her attack fell into the thick smoke, she lost the ability to sense it. She did not know if she could hit the other party. Of course, she did not have any hope.
"Quick, stop him. Don't let him destroy this Heaven Essence Plant." Seeing the other party's actions, how could Senior Deng not know what he was thinking? He was so anxious that he almost jumped and shouted.
"Don't worry, a mere illusory formation can't stop us." Ling Li smiled lightly and said with disdain. She spun two rounds in front and threw out a round jade-like object in her hand.
With a light sound, the jade-like object spun rapidly in the air. A huge light appeared on it, like a small sun, shining brightly and piercing towards the black smoke in front of them.
"Sizzle, sizzle."
The black smoke was covered by the dazzling light and evaporated like boiling water. In the blink of an eye, all the black smoke in the mountain disappeared, revealing the tightly shut stone door.
"Let me!" The red-eyed man let out a fierce roar. The Mountain Splitting Axe in his hand flashed with a bright light and directly left his hand. It once again doubled in size in the air. With a sharp whistling sound, it fiercely chopped towards the stone door.
On the outside, a layer of green shield suddenly emitted an extremely bright light, blocking the Mountain Splitting Axe above. Countless green lights burst out from above.
"Open for me!"
The red-eyed man pointed his finger and a white light shot from his finger into the huge axe. The already huge axe doubled in size again. The other party was finally unable to withstand such a huge attack.
"Kacha!"
The green barrier collapsed and a green ruyi appeared in the air. It fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
The huge axe didn't lose its momentum and finally chopped on the stone door. This was only an ordinary stone door. How could it withstand such a huge force?
With a loud bang, a huge hole appeared in the surrounding stone wall along with the stone door. A cave the size of two people appeared in front of everyone.
At the same time, a scorching and overbearing aura burst out from the cave. It destroyed some of the protective barriers around the cave. Countless rays of multicolored light flashed out from the cave and a massive energy fluctuation spread out from the cave into its surroundings.
Senior Deng reacted very quickly and threw out a long box. It turned into a transparent barrier in the sky and suppressed all these abnormalities.
In a few breaths of time, only a faint light could be seen flashing on the surface of the mountain. The phenomenon of the appearance of the strange treasure was suppressed.
"This thing of mine doesn't have the slightest ability to obstruct the other party. It was originally used to store some spiritual treasures. This way, it can protect the spirit plant for a bit longer. Everyone, hurry up and help me!" Senior Deng shouted.
Ling Li didn't say anything and directly flew towards the cave. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared.
Charcoal followed closely behind. Holding the long saber in his hand, he jumped a few times and also rushed into the cave.
"Fellow Daoist Shi Lei, I'll have to trouble you." At this moment, Gu Zheng was still leisurely standing in the same place. It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Senior Deng cupped his hands towards Gu Zheng. In his opinion, it was normal for the other party to run away. He was only worried that the other party would damage the Heavenly Essence Spirit Plant. Even if it was damaged, he would still feel distressed.
"No problem, I'll take action immediately." Gu Zheng said with a smile. At this moment, the sounds of fighting could be heard. From outside, one could see that the entire mountain was slightly trembling. It seemed that Ling Li had already started fighting with the other party.
Gu Zheng suddenly stopped moving and looked towards a certain place in the cave. He smiled and said to Senior Deng, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Ling has already stopped the other party. Senior Deng, you can rest assured."
Senior Deng immediately said with joy, "That's great. Fellow Daoist, if the two of you go together, you'll definitely be able to kill the other party."
The burly man in black flames reached out and the huge mountain axe fell from above. It was gradually shrinking because such a large weapon couldn't be used inside.
"Indeed, if we go together, we'll definitely be victorious. However, before we go, I want to borrow something from Senior Deng." Gu Zheng looked at Senior Deng, who was not far away from him, and spoke in a strange tone. At the same time, he revealed a troubled expression.
"What do you want to borrow? I don't know what you want from me. Please tell me, I'll definitely satisfy your request." Senior Deng couldn't help but be startled, but he still agreed directly. However, as long as he had something, it wasn't worth mentioning compared to the harvest.
That was the key to Elder Xi's complete recovery. He was really willing to pay any price for it.
It was a pity that the other party couldn't see the Goblin on their side. Otherwise, even if they succeeded in robbing it, they would only die a little later. Senior Deng had taken advantage of the other party's kind character, but he had failed to steal it repeatedly because the other party hadn't matured yet. It was too difficult to take it out without any damage.
"How about I borrow your head?" Gu Zheng shrugged and said sarcastically.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, don't joke around. What do you want … Oh!" Senior Deng thought that Gu Zheng was joking. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the flying sword beside Gu Zheng flash with a golden light. Then, he felt the world spinning. At the same time, a familiar headless body burst into flames.
"That body seems to be mine." This was Senior Deng's last thought. The last head opened its eyes wide and fell to the ground. Then, a golden flame appeared, and the whole person was completely erased from this world.
"Swoosh!"
The red-eyed man immediately moved away from Gu Zheng. At the same time, he looked at Gu Zheng with vigilance. He pointed his mountain axe at Gu Zheng and said angrily, "Why did you kill our employer? Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by everyone?"
"Your employer, not mine. I didn't receive any mission to snatch anything from you." Gu Zheng chuckled and revealed a corner of the token behind him.
"You're from the Great Snow Mountain. When did such a powerful person appear in the Great Snow Mountain? How did you come here through the summoning talisman?" The man said in disbelief. "And where is the other person? Why isn't he here?"
"How would I know? I can only say that it's too unlucky." Gu Zheng sighed. When he saw the middle-aged man, he looked exactly like the statue of the Great Snow Mountain. He was actually the founder of the Great Snow Mountain.
Of course, even if the other party was just an ordinary human immortal, Gu Zheng wouldn't help the tyrant and Goblin. After all, he had just killed a Goblin.
"But why are you hiding your identity? What's the difference between you and me?" Gu Zheng looked at the other party and suddenly asked.
The red-eyed man's body suddenly shook. He looked at Gu Zheng with a sharp gaze. The fear from before disappeared. He looked at Gu Zheng and said, "How do you know my identity? I didn't give myself away."
At the same time, he put away the hilarious mountain axe in his hand. Since the other party knew his identity, he didn't need to hide anything.
"Do you still need to guess? The smell of blood on your body can never be removed. I will never forget it for the rest of my life. " Gu Zheng took a deep breath. He had been enduring the unpleasant smell along the way. It was a smell that only the Shura could have. No matter how well he hid it, even Ling Li didn't notice.
But in his eyes, it was like a pearl in the dark. It was so eye-catching.
When the other party had first entered, Gu Zheng had noticed that the other party had been sizing him up intentionally or unintentionally, as if trying to confirm something. Later on, he had clearly felt the wisps of killing intent. How could he be at ease letting this person stay behind him?
"It seems that you are very familiar with us. In that case, I won't hide anything," the red-eyed man said. The red-eyed man said as a terrifying aura surged from his body. His cultivation base rose rapidly, reaching the intermediate stage of the Golden Immortal Realm.
"I only want to ask you, sir. Some time ago, did you kill a member of my clan?" The Asura man's eyes were still red as he aggressively questioned Gu Zheng.
The person who had investigated before had confirmed Gu Zheng's information and realized that he was the person their team was looking for. He had already sent his appearance and aura back to the team.
Even if Gu Zheng hid his appearance, his aura didn't change. He was able to see through Gu Zheng's disguise and recognize him.
He had wanted to invite him to deal with him, but at that time, he had already accepted the mission, so he said to wait until the team leader came. It was a bit dangerous for the two of them to fight because the other party had killed their famous black-clothed man. Without absolute certainty, they couldn't fight.
That was because the other person had gone back to help the team leader.
