Outside, everyone, including Ye Xun and their guards, froze on the spot the moment the formation was activated. They were unable to move as they were bound to the spot by an invisible force in the air.
Xu Jing and the rest watched helplessly as a few people suddenly appeared and witnessed the horrifying scene with their own eyes. It was as if they had arrived in hell.
However, after Gu Zheng was transported by the few people, the entire palace gradually returned to normal.
However, the four of them were already sitting cross-legged on the ground. Under the four of them, there was still a reddish whirlpool that was constantly rotating. The ground in the middle was pitch-black, like an endless abyss, with no bottom to be seen.
In the middle of the ground, a light pillar as thick as an adult's thigh was still standing there, connecting the roof and the ground. The mysterious formation was still flashing on the roof and streaks of red runes were still pouring into the abyss from the top.
It was only then that the pressure outside slowly disappeared and everyone could move again.
"Lord Xu, Young Master Gu has been taken away!" Once they could move again, an insider immediately shouted anxiously. To them, Gu Zheng was their strongest support. However, now that he had disappeared, they were panicking.
"Attack!" When Ye Xun could move again, he knew that he had to act forcefully. He immediately shouted to the guards around him.
"Ye Tang, go outside and gather all our people here. We'll temporarily block these people and also prevent King Wei's soldiers from coming over."
"Yes, Master!" A relatively younger middle-aged man immediately nodded and said. Then, he ran out of the crowd and ran outside.
"Everyone, don't worry. We've already thought of this situation. However, what they didn't expect is that we've already invited many immortals. Even if there's an immortal on the other side, we can definitely take down one of them. Moreover, we just have to hold on for a while longer and the army outside will attack the city. Then, victory will belong to us!"
When they saw this situation, they were initially panicking. However, after hearing Ye Xun's words, they calmed down.
This was because they had already discussed this many times. In addition, Ye Xun had told them about this situation in advance. They were just mentally prepared. However, when they suddenly encountered this situation, they couldn't help but panic.
As for Xu Jing, there was no need for him to say anything. The guards behind him spontaneously stepped forward and formed a few lines of defense.
Although they did not dare to deal with the four people in the middle, it was more than enough to deal with the less than twenty bodyguards in front of them.
When the bodyguards heard Ye Xun's roar, they quickly gathered together and formed the same formation as the army. Even though they only had sharp swords in their hands and no shields, they still pressed forward bit by bit.
"Don't worry about Young Master Gu for now. I believe that he will have a way to get out. Quickly inform King Wei and have him bring reinforcements," Xu Jing said to everyone. One of them took out a crystal-like ball and crushed it with his bare hands.
This was a treasure contributed by one of the family members. Two of them made a pair, and they only had one pair.
It only had one function, and that was to shatter at the same time, as long as the other one was within a radius of 50 kilometers, it would shatter as well.
It was precisely because of this that he had informed King Wei, who was waiting by the side, to lead the soldiers from the palace to rescue him.
"The two of you, go and harass them!" Xu Jing ordered his two bodyguards to harass the other party.
After all, from the looks of it, they were four genuine immortals. If one really had to face them, the average person would not have the courage to do so.
As for his bodyguards, they would sell their lives to him and would definitely not disobey his orders. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party seemed to be unable to move while they were casting spells, he could give it a try.
"Yes!"
The two bodyguards did not hesitate at all and immediately responded. They quickly ran in that direction.
"Quick, stop them!" Ye Xun could see this scene and immediately shouted.
Two figures also darted out from behind him and pounced on them.
However, their movements were slightly slower because the palace itself was not very big. When they had just started, Xu Jing's side was already closing in on the four people.
At this time, the four people had already revealed their faces. Although they were still wearing the same clothes as before, each of them wore their own masks to cover their faces.
The two people on this side suppressed the fear in their hearts. One of the weapons in their hands was surging with black gas, while the other was attacking with frost. They made up their minds and slashed at the Bronze-masked Woman who was closest to them. She was still wearing the maid's uniform.
However, she did not seem to be aware of the danger behind her. She was still sitting cross-legged with a layer of faint red light covering her body.
However, before the two weapons could land on her, a red beam of light suddenly shot up to the sky from below. It reached the roof and directly enveloped her.
At the same time, the two weapons hit the red beam of light at the same time.
"Bang, bang!"
The two sounds rang out almost at the same time.
The two people were directly sent flying by the rebounding force of the light beam. The weapons in their hands almost flew out of their hands.
After being harassed by them, a red beam of light rose from under the remaining three people at the same time. It protected them tightly and completely dispelled the other party's desire to harass them.
However, the two of them did not have a chance because the other two people had rushed over in time and were guarding in front of them.
Even if they were sure that the other party could not interfere with the four of them, they could not let them come over and destroy them.
"Come back, don't stay outside!" Fortunately, Xu Jing had been paying attention to this side. When he saw this scene, he felt a little regretful. However, he still called his two guards over.
This was because the soldiers on the other side were approaching. If they did not return now, they might not be able to make it back.
Xu Jing really had foresight. Just as his two guards returned, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the door. A large group of elite soldiers rushed in. There were almost a hundred of them.
As soon as they arrived, they surrounded them in an orderly manner. The innermost layer was filled with melee soldiers holding large fine iron shields. Behind them were soldiers holding long spears. This group of people was eyeing them covetously. As soon as Ye Xun gave the order, they would launch a thunderous attack and wipe out the other party.
"We should have broken out earlier!" Xu Jing was shocked. He knew that it was no wonder they were slowly approaching. It was to trap them inside. If they really broke out, with such a large area to capture them, although they would not be able to escape, it would be more difficult to capture them. Moreover, their main focus was on guarding against King Wei's men.
"Haha, Lord Xu, it seems like your plan has succeeded and failed again." Ye Jian came to the front under the protection of two excellent guards. He looked at the group of people in front of him and said proudly.
Although they had successfully found the immortals who they thought were very powerful and had also saved the Emperor, they did not expect that they had already made a concerted effort to keep them here forever.
"You think that you can win the final victory? You're dragging the Ye Family, which has been around for thousands of years, into the abyss! "Xu Jing pointed at Ye Xun and said disdainfully.
At this moment, there were already sounds of killing coming from outside. King Wei had led his troops and started attacking them. They wanted to save the Emperor and capture Ye Xun and the rest. "Yes, I know.
I only have a seventy percent chance. Even if I do my best, I won't be able to achieve a hundred percent. This is what we do, and God is watching. All we have to do is work hard. Everything was going well at first, but you ruined it. Initially, I admired you, but it's a pity that all of you are going to die this time, including your families, "Ye Xun said nonchalantly.
At this point, he would not regret it.
"Hmph! If your ancestors knew about this, they would come and strangle you to death. How can you face them?! "Xu Jing was very disappointed to see that the other party was obsessed.
However, one of his hands had already retracted into his sleeve, ready to activate the shield that Gu Zheng had given him at any moment. He hoped that this shield would last long enough.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a scream came from Xu Jing's side. At the same time, two figures darted out from behind him and fled towards Ye Xun. Under Ye Xun's signal, the two of them successfully escaped from there.
Xu Jing turned his head and saw that Divine Doctor Xia had already fallen to the ground in pain. On their waists and arms, there was a dagger stabbed into each of them, and traces of blood flowed out from the side.
"What happened?" Xu Jing hurriedly asked the guards to help Divine Doctor Xia take out something from the box beside him and simply tie it up for him.
"It's Yu Fu and Qian Xin. Just now, the two of them wanted to assassinate you, but in the end, they were seen through by Divine Doctor Xia. In their panic, they stabbed him and escaped!" A person who had seen what had happened immediately revealed the truth.
"Damn it!" Elder Xia, hold on a little longer. We will definitely be fine. "Xu Jing knew that the two of them were spies hidden by the Ye Family. If they didn't leave now, it would be terrible if they were mistaken as accomplices and killed.
This was because at the door, another dozen or so archers came in. They held strong bows and were already aiming their bows at them. As long as Ye Xun gave the order, they would shoot them into hedgehogs.
"Alright, don't waste any more time. Attack. You just have to spare the lives of those lords. If anyone else dares to resist, kill them on the spot!" Ye Xun ordered.
"Shua shua!"
As soon as Ye Xun finished speaking, more than a dozen tail feathers shot towards the guards in front of them at an extremely fast speed. Moreover, it was a super fast triple shot. In an instant, a dense wall of feathers was formed in front of them.
However, before the guards could strike down with their weapons, a layer of golden light suddenly rose up in front of them. When the arrows hit the light, there was a "thump thump" sound of collision, and then they fell from the sky to the ground.
Ye Xun was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to be of such a high level. With a wave of his hand, all the bodyguards surrounded them with weapons and slashed upwards.
Everyone behind the golden light was also stunned. However, when they saw the golden light in Xu Jing's hand, they knew that Xu Jing had taken out this thing to protect everyone.
"Everyone, don't worry. This is something that Young Master Gu gave me. He said that these ordinary people can't break through this defense at all. The only way they can defeat us is to starve us to death!" Xu Jing comforted everyone and made a small joke at the same time.
Everyone's mouth twitched. They didn't find it funny. Seeing that the soldiers outside were constantly trying to break through the light screen but didn't cause any disturbance, they felt much more at ease.
In the Xu Family, Shuang'er and the rest were standing silently in the courtyard. Even Ah Shou, who was usually very mischievous, had quietened down.
Shuang'er looked in the direction of the palace and suddenly had a thought. She said to everyone, "Get ready to set off. Protect everyone in the Xu Family. Don't allow any enemy to harm them."
After hearing this, everyone stood up and followed Shuang'er into the courtyard. At this time, there were already hundreds of people hiding in the area near the inner courtyard of the Xu Family.
In order to ensure the safety of the Xu Family, the other family members had come here and entrusted the protection of the Xu Family.
When Shuang'er and the rest arrived and saw that she had brought so many powerful bodyguards, everyone felt much more at ease. At this time, outside, the bodyguards they brought had set up a line of defense, ready to deal with the enemy's invasion at any time.
.....
Of course, Gu Zheng didn't know all of this. When he found that he had come to an unfamiliar place, he quickly investigated the surrounding environment.
This was a desert that stretched as far as the eye could see. Other than some head-sized rocks, there were only huge mountains in the distance that towered into the clouds.
However, the mountains were bare and blood-red like jade. Even the scattered rocks on the mountains were blood-red, as if they were made of fog and blood.
The faint smell of blood in the air gave Gu Zheng a familiar feeling.
Above the sky, thick layers of blood-red clouds floated above, covering the whole sky. Moreover, it continued to thicken, making people feel very depressed.
"Bang!"
Under Gu Zheng's feet, a small pit was directly stomped out by Gu Zheng.
After looking back and forth a few times, Gu Zheng knew that this was not an illusion array, but a real place.
There must be a space magic treasure inside, with the help of the palace's array, forcibly pulling him in.
In other words, he was now trapped here.
Gu Zheng looked up and saw a ray of golden light flashing through the clouds in the sky from time to time. It was still suppressing him. The other party had actually pulled the last bit of Feng City's national luck and destiny here. In this way, unless one's cultivation was exceedingly high, he would be suppressed no matter how hard he tried.
No wonder the other party was not flustered at all, although he looked panicked. In a situation where he had the upper hand, the other party was not afraid of him at all.
At this time, Gu Zheng began to feel lucky. Fortunately, he had used a trick to kill the silver-masked man before. Otherwise, if he was here, he was afraid that he would be very sad.
The other party could hide in Feng City for so long, he must have a way to bypass this layer of golden light. At that time, he would be a celestial being fighting Jin Xian. Ten of him would be at his mercy in the hands of the other party. After all, this was the other party's home ground.
In fact, Gu Zheng was wrong. The silver-masked man had to leave here even if he did not want to. Without the cover of the golden dragon, he could not hide at all. He had to leave.
Gu Zheng looked around and saw that there was no movement around. There were mountains in the distance. He suddenly flew up into the sky, but the closer he got, the more difficult it was to move. It was like a layer of sticky water in front of him until he could not move again. At this time, he was still a long way away from the red clouds.
Gu Zheng's eyes flashed. His consciousness formed a sharp thorn and suddenly pierced upward. In the blink of an eye, he entered the clouds.
But as soon as he entered, he felt that his consciousness suddenly became sluggish. Even Gu Zheng's head was a little dizzy. The control of his whole body dropped rapidly. Gu Zheng was scared and immediately withdrew.
Gu Zheng looked up, and just as he was about to use some other method to investigate, the red clouds above his head suddenly flashed violently. Countless red clouds rolled violently, and at the same time, there was the sound of thunder.
Gu Zheng was greatly alarmed. He retreated and quickly descended. At the same time, he looked up to see what was happening.
When Gu Zheng's body was halfway to the ground, bright red dots suddenly appeared in the clouds. They were very eye-catching.
The next moment, the red dots fell from the sky like rain. They were twice as fast as Gu Zheng, and they left streaks of red in the air as they rushed to the ground.
When the red dots hit the ground, they expanded like balloons. After a while, blood-red puppets appeared on the ground.
Every puppet was made of red crystals. They were about the height of a healthy adult. They had arms and legs, and red light flowed between their joints. They did not have the clumsiness of puppets. When they walked and ran, they looked just like ordinary people.
However, their faces were bare, and they did not have any facial features. Gu Zheng only felt that layers of red light were constantly flashing, and they were used as eyes.
Traces of red mist suddenly appeared in the air and gathered in their hands, forming different weapons.
When Gu Zheng landed on the ground, there were over a thousand puppets. At this time, the red light from the clouds in the sky stopped falling.
When Gu Zheng landed, the puppets that were wandering around seemed to have received some kind of order. All of their headless heads looked at Gu Zheng in unison.
Then, they immediately raised the weapons in their hands. There were all kinds of weapons, but most of them were sabers, swords, and axes. None of them were long-range weapons. They rushed toward Gu Zheng.
In an instant, the densely packed puppet army surged towards Gu Zheng like a tidal wave, bringing along a cloud of dust that covered the entire sky. The momentum was extremely terrifying.
Gu Zheng looked at the opposite side rushing toward him. He calmly looked around to make sure that there were no enemies hiding in the dark.
At this time, the puppet closest to Gu Zheng had already reached Gu Zheng's side. The spear in its hand was like a spear in the outside world. With a shake of its hand, spear shadows filled the sky. The ear-piercing sound of the spear rang out, enveloping Gu Zheng's entire body.
Although the puppet knew martial arts, it was not as stiff as the puppet. It seemed to have a trace of instinctive reaction. Gu Zheng was stunned. However, his hand had already reached out with lightning speed. The moment the puppet's spear shadow approached, he directly grabbed the blood-red spear's handle.
A huge force surged out from the spear. The puppet wanted to pull the spear away. Caught off guard, Gu Zheng's body shook slightly, and a trace of shock flashed across Gu Zheng's eyes.
The puppet's strength was too great. It was almost at the level of a Celestial Immortal. In addition, there were so many of them. Gu Zheng, who could easily deal with these puppets, was no longer as relaxed as before.
