At the peak where Gu Zheng couldn't see, two figures could be seen through the mist in front of them. They could vaguely see the movements of Gu Zheng's group.
"I say, Great Elder, the other party's movements have been brought forward by quite a bit. At this time, your secret realm shouldn't have been exposed, but from the looks of it, it seems that the other party has already gone in and read the letter you left behind. The formation that you're so proud of has been broken." The tall man standing at the side had a dangerous red glow in his eyes. Seeing Gu Zheng striding forward, he couldn't help but mock him.
"Hmph, it seems that the other party has already broken through the barrier outside. I really didn't expect this. I really admire this person a little. Fortunately, I've already made my decision." The Great Elder seemed to have not heard his tone, and instead praised him.
"Song Ang, you and I are only partners. When we're done, we'll leave separately. You have to remember this!" The Great Elder turned around and put his white, jade-like fingers in front of his eyes, as if admiring his beautiful hand, but said casually.
"Of course I know. Don't worry, I only want that kid's life. You can do whatever you want with the rest. I don't want to get involved in your affairs!" The leader of the Asura Sect, Song Ang, looked at the Great Elder beside him. The aura of the Great Elder was as vast as the sea, and it made his heart go numb.
Song Ang thought about it. If he were to face him, he didn't have the confidence to win. The scheming of this old fox was far from what he could imagine.
Although his side could be considered to have been used by the other party, after learning of the other party's information, he could only pinch his nose and cooperate with the other party. That was because even if the three of them possessed strength that far surpassed others, if they were to go against Gu Zheng's group, they might suffer heavy losses and return in defeat.
Therefore, the two groups of people hit it off and went all out against the common enemy in their hearts.
The Great Elder's side also needed these high-end combat forces. After all, they had lost a lot of people during this period.
"Let's go, the other party is about to come up. Actually, it's good that he's here so early. It saves us from waiting here in boredom! However, there are some things that we still need to prepare, unless you want to face him now. " The Great Elder said softly to Song Ang when he saw that they were almost halfway up the mountain.
"Haha, I'm not that stupid. First, I'll give him an appetizer. When the time comes, things will be much easier. I want to see what kind of heaven-defying ability he has to break out of this death trap that was specially prepared for him." Song Ang laughed and took the lead to walk down.
Even if the three of them were to barge in unprepared, they would still have a slim chance of survival.
Gu Zheng walked forward with large strides, not guarding against any ambushes, causing Bo Xu and the others who were following behind to complain.
According to their thinking, it would not be wrong to be a little more careful in a place that the other party had meticulously prepared. If they were to suffer a little loss, they would fall into a passive position right from the start.
However, they were worried for nothing. Nothing happened even when they reached the flat ground halfway up the mountain. They heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they became even more nervous.
Since the other party didn't bother to disturb them, what awaited them would be a thunderous fury.
Even though they were prepared for the dangers here, they still couldn't help but feel nervous in the face of unknown dangers. They followed behind Gu Zheng and climbed up the mountain peak in less than half a day's time while feeling uneasy.
This was their first time here. In the past, they had seen this place from afar at most, so they had some understanding of the terrain here.
At this time, they could barely make out two figures standing in front of them. They recognized one of them in a blood-red robe. It was the actual controller of the Goblin, the Great Elder!
As for the other person, although he also exuded a bloody aura, he looked very unfamiliar. He was clearly not a member of the Yao Clan. He seemed to be a member of the Human Clan who had walked the path of evil. However, why was he standing together with the other person? Could it be that he was a member of the Yao Clan? Just as they were letting their imaginations run wild, Gu Zheng mocked.
"I thought you guys had something to do and didn't come. I didn't expect the famous Shura Tribe to have fallen to mixing with some unpresentable Goblin. What a joke!"
"Hmph, boasting shamelessly. Let me ask you, were you the one who killed one of the black-clothed men from my clan, as well as two of my team members?" Song Ang completely ignored Gu Zheng's mockery and instead asked a question of his own.
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't kill them?" Gu Zheng spread his hands and said innocently. His eyes were as sincere as they could be.
When Song Ang saw this, the veins on his forehead bulged. He couldn't wait to kill this shameless person immediately.
"A real man dares to do what he wants. I didn't expect you to be such a cowardly rat. Previously, I admired you for being a man. Now, let me tell you, I look down on you!" After taking a few deep breaths, Song Ang finally suppressed his anger that was about to explode.
"What! Shura Tribe! "
When Gu Zheng and the others were talking, Bo Xu and the others took a closer look. If Gu Zheng didn't say it, they wouldn't have guessed that the other party was a Shura Tribe member.
The three of them looked at each other bitterly. This was bad. The other party's strength was actually at the peak of Jin Xian. They didn't expect this to happen.
Previously, they were confident of victory. Now that he had appeared alone, he had broken the tacit understanding between the two sides, causing them to lose their confidence.
Thus, they turned their gazes back to Gu Zheng. If he could hold off two of them, then they could go and support him after dealing with the others. In that case, their previous plan wouldn't change too much.
Even if there were a few more Jin Xian late stage, they would have enough countermeasures.
Unless another peak Jin Xian appeared. If that was the case, they didn't need to fight. They could just think of a way to escape.
Gu Zheng looked at the two people opposite him and sneered. He took a step forward and questioned them.
"Actually, you and I both know. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Since I'm already here, where is Xue 'er?"
Gu Zheng's aggressive voice resounded in the empty space.
He looked at the other party with a burning gaze, as if he wasn't afraid of the two people opposite him. His body was prepared. If the other party didn't answer well, then he would rush forward.
"I didn't expect you to come so quickly. I've already asked someone to call her out. I'll hand her over to you in a moment! Why don't you rest here for a while? You'll naturally see your sister. Don't worry, she hasn't suffered any torture here. That's why we won't do those filthy things. "The Great Elder revealed a smile that was not a smile. He did not seem to have any intention of making things difficult for Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng frowned. He didn't understand what the other party was up to. He didn't think that the other party would be so kind as to not know that he had come early, so they had to buy some time to fully activate the trap.
It would be a pity not to use the geographical advantage.
"There's no need for you to send her over. I'll go get her myself. Make way for me!" Although Gu Zheng didn't know what the other party was thinking, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Since it was something the enemy wanted to do, he naturally wouldn't allow himself to be manipulated by them.
The Great Snow Mountain was already controlled by the other party. If they let them go so easily, let alone him, even the other party wouldn't believe it.
"Haste makes waste. You'd better stay here for a while longer!" The Great Elder suddenly stopped smiling and said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, five houses in the group of houses suddenly exploded. Five snow-white creatures that were almost the size of houses appeared from within.
Their bodies were huge and round, with only two short and thick legs supporting their bodies. It could be said that their heads took up most of their bodies.
A layer of blue ice crystals covered their heads. Blue light flashed continuously on top of their heads. Wisps of cold air also rose from above, protecting them firmly like armor. Only a pair of purple eyes and a huge mouth could be seen.
"Gu Gu!"
Accompanied by a few coos, the five ice ball-like creatures jumped forward in unison. They came to the side of Gu Zheng and the others and stared at them covetously. They landed neatly on the ground, causing the whole ground to tremble.
Gu Zheng looked at these creatures without any change in expression. They were only at the early stage of Jin Xian. Although they were some kind of strange beast, Gu Zheng didn't care about them.
Bo Xu and the others' faces turned ugly. They didn't remember seeing these creatures in the last battle. Although they didn't seem to have any intelligence, they seemed to have been specially trained to use weapons.
"I appreciate your hospitality, but I don't have any appetite right now. I don't want to eat anything. Don't waste your effort." Gu Zheng said with a cold smile.
"Hehe, you guys wait here for a while!" The Great Elder didn't care about Gu Zheng's words at all. He turned around and flew inside, not intending to ask about this matter.
Song Ang chuckled and followed the Great Elder back without saying a word.
"Don't go!"
Gu Zheng shouted. At this time, the two of them were alone. If time allowed, he even wanted to force one of them to stay with the cooperation of Bo Xu and the others.
On the other side, Gu Zheng wanted to follow, but just as he moved, he realized that dozens of ice spikes had suddenly appeared under their feet. They instantly pierced into the air, and Gu Zheng hurriedly stopped.
This was because another five creatures that looked exactly the same as the one from before had suddenly crawled out from below, blocking his path.
"Get lost!"
With this delay, the two of them disappeared from Gu Zheng's side. Gu Zheng shouted angrily and shook his wrist. The originally normal right wrist suddenly flowed with flames. Flames instantly burned from his wrist.
Among them, an extremely bright red line shone rapidly.
"Roar …"
Accompanied by a loud dragon's roar, a large ball of red flames rushed to the sky, illuminating half the sky red. Countless flames continuously poured out from Gu Zheng's wrist. After a while, they compressed and changed shape in the air, turning into a flame dragon that was more than ten feet long. It circled above Gu Zheng's head and looked at the monsters in front of it fiercely.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
On the other side, Bo Xu wanted to go around from the other side. However, after just a few steps, five similar creatures jumped out from the other side.
Now that they were surrounded on three sides, they could either retreat or fight head-on.
Of course, Gu Zheng chose the first option. They were just catalyzed creatures and weren't much of a threat.
The fire dragon above his head roared and rushed towards the five monsters in front of it.
"Gugu, gugu!"
The few snow monsters in front of Gu Zheng looked at the fire dragon in front of them and were agitated. Even the snow monsters on both sides let out low cries in agreement.
"Puchi, puchi"
The snow monsters' faces puffed up and they suddenly spat out a large amount of icy blue liquid from their mouths. The moment the blue liquid left their mouths, it instantly turned into ice flowers and gathered together.
The snow monsters did not stop spitting. Soon, a very large iceberg was formed in mid-air. It was about the same size as the fire dragon. There were protruding spikes around the iceberg. It flashed with cold light and crashed towards the fire dragon.
"Huff, huff!"
The fire dragon that was advancing quickly suddenly stopped in mid-air. It took a deep breath and spat out a mouthful of red flames in the air. A pillar of fire shot towards the iceberg from afar.
The huge impact not only greatly reduced the speed of the ice mountain, but also caused visible holes to appear on its surface. Countless amounts of water vapor rose into the air, and the ice mountain was melting rapidly. Even with the snow monsters constantly replenishing the ice mountain, they could not stop the ice mountain from collapsing.
"Boom!" a loud sound rang out!
The fire dragon's attack stopped abruptly. Countless red flames appeared on the surface of its body to defend against the iceberg on both sides.
This was because when the fire dragon attacked, the snow monsters on both sides also spat out icebergs towards the fire dragon. When the fire dragon blocked the iceberg in front of it, the other two icebergs also attacked the fire dragon from both sides.
One iceberg was still pressing down on the fire dragon with the momentum of Mount Tai. The fire dragon's body was slightly deformed.
"Bang, bang!"
The other iceberg exploded and turned into countless crystal ice powder. In an instant, it covered a large area. Countless blue crystals rushed towards the fire dragon, trying to extinguish the fire dragon.
The fire dragon didn't even last a breath. After a wail, its entire body exploded into countless flames. Then, it formed a sea of fire in the air and continued to be in a stalemate with the icebergs.
In an instant, large patches of fire and cold blue ice flashed back and forth in the air. The entire area was covered by white water vapor.
Gu Zheng frowned. He didn't expect these creatures to be so difficult to deal with. Moreover, he could clearly feel that their aura had already connected with the protective formation here. Otherwise, how could they have blocked his attack?
With a wave of his hand, the remaining half of the flame turned into a flame and returned to Gu Zheng's right wrist.
"Gu, gu!"
After seeing their opponent's attack disappear, all the snow monsters released a blue light. The light was so bright that Gu Zheng couldn't help but squint his eyes.
After the blue light on their bodies collided in the air, a pure blue ice shield appeared in the air. All the snow monsters jumped and appeared in various corners of the ice shield. Their short legs fused together with the ice shield.
The sound of ice forming could be heard in the air. The entire ice shield was covered with countless blue crystals. Layers of blue thorns hung on it, like cold blades that could fall at any time, blocking the view of the outside world.
All of this happened in a flash. Gu Zheng was still wondering why the other party would pay for the protective formation's energy when he realized that even Bo Xu and the rest were trapped here.
At this moment, the temperature of the surrounding air was rapidly dropping. Even Gu Zheng could feel a chill that penetrated deep into his blood, constantly drilling into his body.
At this moment, Bo Xu and the rest had already put up a layer of protective formation to protect themselves.
The weapons in their hands were raised, and they looked up with a serious expression as they leaned towards Gu Zheng.
Bo Xu and the rest quickly came to Gu Zheng's side and looked around carefully. "This is a little strange, Young Master Gu!"
"Indeed, under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be this cold!" Gu Zheng's body flashed with a red light, and a warm feeling spread throughout his body, dispelling the chill.
Ding ding dang dang!
On the other side, Lan Xin and Lan Xing each took out a flying sword and controlled it to rush up. They tried to break a hole in the ice wall, but other than knocking off a few pieces of ice, they didn't make any progress.
Gu Zheng even saw that their weapons were covered with a layer of frost, which made the sisters' control a little slower.
"Look!"
Lan Xin pointed up and said in surprise. Perhaps it was because of the stimulation, a white fog began to spray out from the surrounding ice walls, turning into a hazy fog that pressed down on the remaining space machines.
"Why do I feel that it's getting colder?" Before the fog got close, Lan Xin had already shrunk her body and shivered, as if the layer of protective formation was useless.
"Yeah, I feel like I'm frozen!" Lan Xing said, also shivering.
Gu Zheng saw this and waved his hand, and a fiery red protective formation enveloped the three of them, dispelling the chill on their bodies.
"You guys hold on a little longer. Watch me break this defense!" Gu Zheng said to them.
From this fog, he actually felt a familiar aura. If he guessed correctly, this fog was formed by the lake water above. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so powerful.
Gu Zheng looked around carefully. After finding no obvious flaws, Gu Zheng didn't hesitate and rushed toward the ice wall not far ahead. He could sense that there was a snow monster behind that position.
The fog didn't affect Gu Zheng at all. As soon as it got close to Gu Zheng's body, it was dispelled by a gentle heat. It couldn't enter his body at all.
Gu Zheng quickly stopped in front of the ice wall. He raised his hand, and countless golden lights gathered on it. He then smashed it hard at the ice wall in front of him.
Bang! There was a loud sound.
When Gu Zheng's fist was about to hit the ice wall, a layer of flames gushed out from his fist, and he smashed it hard on the ice wall in front of him.
A huge hole appeared on the ice wall in front of him, and he could vaguely see the snow monster outside.
And the entire ice wall began to tremble. Ice pieces of different sizes kept rustling, as if it was going to collapse in the next moment. But then, a layer of soft white light appeared on the ice wall, and the entire ice wall was basically stabilized.
Even the hole created by Gu Zheng's punch was quickly recovering.
In the blink of an eye, it was restored to its original state, and it didn't look like it had been hit hard.
"This recovery speed is too fast!" Gu Zheng couldn't help but exclaim.
