"Then it's decided. I'll go out and buy some time. You guys keep an eye on Master Wei. I suspect that there are spies in our caravan. Don't let them know Master Wei's location."
"Wait a minute, what about the caravan we drove out? I'm sure they have accomplices. "Du Yong said.
It was Master Wei who said there were spies in the caravan, so they drove them out.
"Don't ask them. Maybe An Xian gave them the information and deliberately let them in. Don't let them get close to us."
"Well, we'll do as you said. Try to buy some time until General Bai arrives. It doesn't matter even if we all die. The great cause of the Lan Country cannot be destroyed." Du Yong hammered his right hand on his other hand, then turned to his son and said.
"Yu 'er, you stay here and protect Young Master Wei. Other than those who have our personal orders, kill anyone who dares to come near here."
They were afraid that they would attract the attention of the enemy. They knew that the enemy must be looking for suspicious places.
They were all on Master Wei's side, but they knew that Master Wei had an important mission. They must hide their identities and escort him to Feng City.
The two of them sneaked out from under the carriage, using the goods in another carriage as a cover. They came out from another carriage and separated.
Soon, the caravan began a new round of changes. Several people went in and out as if they were arranging something, but no one knew what they were doing. They only knew that some new elite guards had appeared around the caravan.
At the same time, Gu Zheng's team approached the caravan. Especially the conspicuous carriage, it could be said that it attracted a lot of attention. It was too conspicuous.
However, several people were staring at them covetously and shouting at them at the same time.
"Get out of here. You are not welcome here."
Obviously, they did not accept them. When Li Shang was about to ask again, he heard Gu Zheng's calm voice.
"Keep going. Don't ask. If someone tries to stop us, we will take action."
Although Li Shang was very scared, he could only brace himself and go forward. Was there a better way?
There were still about two hundred people in front of them. At this time, some of them had taken out their spears and were ready to attack at any time.
That murderous aura was so dense that even their horses were unwilling to move. They were stuck in place, and Li Shang was so anxious that he felt a headache coming on.
At this moment, two captains who seemed to be the leaders of the group immediately ran out from the group in front of them and shouted at them.
"Stop! You are not allowed to move forward. Otherwise, you will be killed."
As soon as the voice fell, the two people on the back of the horse were suddenly hit by an invisible force and fell heavily on the ground.
This change instantly alerted everyone on the opposite side. They all picked up their weapons and prepared to charge, but they were stopped by the leader who stood up from the ground.
At the same time, a pair of invisible eyes in the sky quickly locked onto Gu Zheng's carriage, and a mysterious pressure swept over from the sky.
.... Gu Zheng casually raised a barrier to block the other party's probing. At the same time, he said to Shuang 'er, who had no idea what was going on.
"Take care of the two of them. I will be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body slowly turned into nothingness and disappeared in front of everyone.
"Wow!" Xiao Lan and Ah Shuai were stunned. They had guessed that Gu Zheng's cultivation was not low. At least, he had the cultivation of an immortal. However, when they saw it for themselves, they could not help but be amazed. They felt that they had a bright future.
High up in the sky, there were large clouds all around them. A man and a woman were hiding in the clouds. A layer of blue light enveloped them, hiding their figures. Even if someone were to look carefully, they might not be able to notice their existence.
The two of them were paying attention to the battlefield and the surrounding situation at all times. When a strange scene appeared below, they immediately went to investigate.
The man was tall and sturdy, and he wore a hollowed-out mask on his face. Beside him.
"Shuai Xing, it's strange. I can't see through the situation inside the carriage. It seems that something is blocking me." One of the women frowned and suddenly said to the man beside her.
"What? Yin Lu, is there something strange about the carriage or the people inside? "Shuai Xing also looked over and found that it was indeed so.
There seemed to be a layer of thick fog around the carriage, blocking their investigation. When their divine senses probed inside, it was all white.
"There's something strange about the people. I saw someone inside with my naked eyes before. Now, it's all blurry. It seems that the movement just now alarmed the other party. The other party deliberately did that to attract our attention. We were careless." Yin Lu said firmly. There was a trace of annoyance on her face. How could she be fooled so easily?
"Don't worry, that person is probably his bodyguard. Pay attention to the surroundings and don't let the other party sneak over. Our actions just now have exposed us. It seems that the other party has also placed a heavy bet. Let's lure him away later. Fortunately, we are already prepared. This means that the other party must be hiding in the caravan. Then, I will immediately inform the subordinates to not waste any more time.
Shuai Xing motioned for her to be on guard. At the same time, his lips moved slightly. A light flashed in his hand and the plan began to be carried out.
"Since you're so sure that the other party is inside, why did you send out our spies? You should know that this is a very important flag. If we keep him here, he might be even more useful," Yin Lu said. Yin Lu asked curiously from the side. She only knew a few things, and she listened to his instructions for everything.
"The others might not be able to find the real him, but after this show, the other party's identity will definitely be exposed. They won't suspect our spies at all. That's the only way to ensure that nothing goes wrong," Shuai Xing said slowly. At the same time, in the distance, a yellow dragon began to charge towards them.
"You two, what are you hiding here for? Especially spying on others. Don't you know that's wrong? "Just as the two of them were discussing, an unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out.
"That's none of your business," Yin Lu said impatiently. Yin Lu said impatiently. But in the next moment, Yin Lu felt as if she had been pricked by a needle. She immediately turned around and saw an unfamiliar man appear behind them. She was immediately shocked. They didn't even know how he had appeared behind them.
"Who are you? State Preceptor Ye is working here. Do you want to get involved in this injustice? "Shuai Xing tried his best to calm himself down, then wondered why the other party had appeared here.
"Weren't you looking for me just now? How could you forget in the blink of an eye? " They thought that they had hidden themselves well, but Gu Zheng only needed to sweep his gaze slightly to discover their location.
"You're the person in that carriage!" Shuai Xing sucked in a breath. He couldn't see through the other party's cultivation at all. When did the other party invite such a powerful person?
"So what if I am? So what if I'm not?" Gu Zheng put his hands behind his back and looked behind them. He could see that there were already many troops rushing over from the distance. One look at their blue armor and he knew that they were the official border guards of the Lan Nation.
The two of them looked at each other. Suddenly, a cloud of smoke appeared from their bodies, enveloping them in the blink of an eye.
Gu Zheng held his breath and waved his hand. An invisible gust of wind rose out of thin air, quickly blowing away the smoke around them. However, he found that the two people in front of him had disappeared without a trace.
In the distance, the two figures suddenly revealed themselves. Without any intention of stopping, they ran straight into the distance.
Although they couldn't see through Gu Zheng's cultivation, the two of them instinctively realized that the other party was much stronger than them. The two of them together wouldn't be a match for the other party. At this time, they didn't care about the mission. Escaping was the priority.
Gu Zheng smiled faintly. A breeze blew past, and his figure turned into a ball of light and disappeared on the spot.
The two of them had only escaped for a thousand miles when they saw a bright light in front of them. It flashed and disappeared, and a figure hovered in front of them.
Yin Lu and Shuai Xing hurriedly stopped and looked at the tall young man not far in front of them. He still had a faint smile on his face, as if he wasn't worried that they would escape from his grasp. Their expressions immediately turned ugly.
Shuai Xing glanced at Yin Lu, then braced himself and stepped forward. His hands hung by his side, indicating that he didn't want to attack. He bowed slightly and said, "Senior, we didn't hurt anyone. Why can't you let us go?"
Gu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly. He seemed to casually take a step forward, but he didn't say anything. He just stared at them with a smile.
Yin Lu was so frightened that she suddenly took a step back. Shuai Xing, on the other hand, didn't react at all. He remained respectfully in place.
When Shuai Xing saw that Gu Zheng wasn't replying, he carefully said, "The two of us are willing to give you all of our belongings. We only ask that you let us go."
However, the fingers hanging by his side began to twitch slightly. Yin Lu immediately understood what he meant.
She raised her hand from her sleeve and silently pulled out a green jade stone. Her other hand also formed a secret seal.
"Hurry up and take out everything you have. Let the senior open his eyes. Maybe he'll let us go." Shuai Xing frowned and extended a hand towards Yin Lu. It seemed that he wanted her to take out her belongings.
"Alright. This is my family's heirloom. I hope you'll take a liking to it and let us go." The green jade stone slipped out of her hand and she tried to hand it over.
However, when Zhou Xing reached out to grab the jade stone, the two of them suddenly let out a low shout at the same time. A burst of bright green light shone from their hands, and in the blink of an eye, they were enveloped in it.
In just a blur, the two figures completely disappeared from where they stood.
After only one breath, in the void thousands of miles away from here, there was a sudden flash of light in the middle. Their figures reappeared in the air. At this time, they were already in an open space in the Untainted Land. If they were to head south, the nearest country would be Anhua Country, where Gu Zheng first came here.
"Thank goodness I asked a senior for this jade pendant before I came out. I'm sure it'll take some time for him to find us. We should hurry up and leave." Yin Lu looked around and didn't see any trace of them. She let out a sigh of relief and spoke with a pale face.
"Let me catch my breath and we'll go. This Divine Traversing Stone is truly miraculous, but it consumes too much energy. Just like that, it used up fifty percent of our magic power. And that's with the two of us using it at the same time. If we were alone, we probably wouldn't be able to escape." Shuai Xing's face was also pale. He took out two pills and tossed one into his mouth and handed the other over.
"Isn't that so? I have a bad feeling in my heart. Let's not rest and just leave," Yin Lu said worriedly.
Shuai Xing nodded and said, "You're right. Let's go now."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, before they could even move, they seemed to hear a clear voice coming from a very distant place.
"Fellow Daoists, you two are quite fast. I almost didn't see where you went."
At first, the voice was only normal, and they didn't see anyone. But as soon as the voice fell, a figure suddenly appeared on the horizon and rapidly approached them.
When Shuai Xing and the others saw Gu Zheng chasing after them, they felt as if they had been struck by lightning. They held the jade pendant in their hands again, wanting to activate it. But as soon as they held it, the figure stopped in front of them.
"How is this possible? How is he so fast?" Yin Lu almost despaired. He was so far away just a moment ago. How could he appear in front of them in the blink of an eye?
"Why aren't you running?" Gu Zheng said with a smile. He looked at the jade pendant in their hands and reached out to grab it. Yin Lu felt her hand slip, and the jade pendant between her fingers fell into his hand.
"Senior, we're just protecting ourselves. We haven't done anything outrageous. We haven't even killed a single human in our lives. Why bother us? If you have something to say, just say it. If I can do it, I'll definitely do it," Shuai Xing said helplessly.
"You're right. You haven't killed a single human. But I just want to ask, where is your Elder Qiu?" Gu Zheng played with the jade pendant in his hand. It had a faint aura that he was familiar with. It belonged to the Right Guardian, who had left early. He didn't expect it to belong to him.
Since he got it from the Right Guardian, he must know something. Especially since he was their leader, Elder Qiu. As long as he knew where he was, he could know where Xue 'er was in advance. Why bother with Feng City?
Fear immediately appeared in the eyes of the two men. They didn't expect that this person would actually look for their Great Elder. Moreover, it seemed like he wanted to cause trouble for them. Didn't this mean that the other party wasn't afraid of the Great Elder at all?
But they forced themselves to stay alert. Yin Lu said carefully, "Senior, you're talking about Elder Xi. We don't know. We were tempted by him to come here and help them."
Gu Zheng sighed and shook his head. Seeing that they still wanted to get away with it, he flicked his wrist and a black sword appeared in his hand. He pointed it at them.
A layer of black light flashed, and an incomparably huge sword shadow rose up like a towering pagoda. It broke through the clouds and pierced a big hole in the sky.
"Are you sure you don't want to tell me?" Gu Zheng's eyes flashed dangerously. A terrifying aura burst out from Gu Zheng's body.
"We really don't know what you're talking about." Yin Lu was still trying to act pitiful, hoping that Gu Zheng would let them go.
"Yin Lu, don't talk nonsense. They're coming for us," Frown said suddenly. From the looks of it, the other party already knew their identities. It was impossible to hide it from them.
As Frown spoke, he took out a crystalline ice wheel. Countless ice spikes protruded from it, and it emitted waves of white cold air. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and snowflakes appeared around the ice wheel.
Seeing Frown do this, Yin Lu didn't waste any more words. She took out a brocade handkerchief, and it suddenly expanded in the air. It flashed and turned into a shadow that merged with her body. Her body suddenly became transparent, and she disappeared in the air.
The two of them looked like they were going to go all out.
Gu Zheng saw this. His fan flashed coldly, and he suddenly flicked his wrist.
A loud buzzing sound rang out in the air, and a huge sword shadow, thicker than a pagoda, slashed down from the sky towards the two.
Before the sword shadow fell, a huge pressure fell from the sky. The huge pressure caused Wrinkled Man's body to suddenly shrink, and he almost fell from the sky.
Frown's eyes flashed with fear. He was like an ant under the sword shadow, but he still opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of pure blood. It flashed in the air and disappeared into the ice wheel.
The spikes on the Ice Wheel fell off in an instant, turning into icicles that soared into the sky. Frost Dew suddenly emitted a white light, and her entire body began to spin rapidly. The dazzling white light made it impossible for people to see what was happening to Li Man. With a sharp screech, a huge crystal-clear Ice Seal spread its wings and soared into the sky. Its entire body was surrounded by specks of crystal light, and it rushed towards the sword shadow above.
A huge cloud of black smoke rose in the air, carrying a strong corrosive aura. Behind Gu Zheng, an almost transparent figure appeared. It raised its transparent claws and quietly approached Gu Zheng.
But Gu Zheng acted as if he didn't see it. He pointed a finger, and the sword shadow in the air suddenly expanded. It covered the sky and came down at an even faster speed.
Before the black smoke could get close, it was shattered by the sword shadow's pressure. It dissipated in the air.
With a mournful cry, the crystal phoenix was cut into dozens of ice cubes. Frown's face was full of despair, and he was submerged in the sword shadow.
Yin Lu was behind Gu Zheng. She wanted to grab his waist, but Gu Zheng suddenly turned his head and smiled at her. Her heart sank, as if she had been plunged into an ice cellar.
