"Captain, have you forgotten what Gu Zheng gave us before we parted?" Seeing this scene, the female member from before reminded him anxiously.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot. Young Master Gu gave me this!" Qi Xiang put away his weapon and slapped his head. He quickly took out a jade pendant from his chest.
The faint light was still very eye-catching on the snow-white snow mountain.
Seeing this familiar jade pendant, the murderous intent in Yuan Li's eyes immediately retreated. However, his expression was still somewhat unpleasant. He thought that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him, but he still put away his weapon. He understood that the other party was indeed sent by Gu Zheng.
Although he did not know how the other party passed through the protective shield, he still reached out and patted the wall. A dark hole silently appeared above his head.
"Come in first. If you really want to go up like this, I'm afraid you'll be discovered halfway up. Moreover, you'll never find the way up," Yuan Li said impatiently.
The uniqueness of the Great Snow Mountain was something that he had set up bit by bit. How could it be broken so easily? If he had not known that Gu Zheng might be coming over and had deliberately left a line of defense here, the five of them might have been intercepted directly.
At that time, no matter what the other party wanted to do, once they were discovered, it would be equivalent to the mission failing.
The other party was prepared and the effect of their surprise attack would be ineffective.
After Yuan Li finished speaking, he nimbly turned over and went through the hole, disappearing in front of them.
"Captain Qi, should we follow him in?" A member behind asked.
"Of course, why not? We're here to find him. Otherwise, how can we carry out the mission?" Qi Xiang thought that he had forgotten something important again and almost made a big mistake, so he said impatiently.
He quickly climbed up and looked at the hole that was only half the size of an adult's. He hesitated for a moment, but still shrank his body and went in.
Immediately after, his team members followed behind him and went in one by one.
After all of them had entered, the hole silently closed. Under the constant accumulation of snow in the sky all year round, it gradually returned to its original appearance.
Qi Xiang only felt that his body was sliding down rapidly. The passage beside him was even more slippery. He reached out and touched the icy wall. Afraid of causing a vibration, he could only slide down quickly.
However, it did not take long. In less than half a cup of tea's worth of time, Qi Xiang noticed some bright light in front of him. He suddenly felt weightless and fell down from above.
With a handsome somersault, Qi Xiang landed cleanly on the ground. He first moved a few steps around before looking at his surroundings.
This was a small room surrounded by stone walls. It looked like it was in the middle of the mountain. There was a white fluorescent plant on the wall, filling the room with soft light. Yuan Li, who had arrived first, was waiting for them at the only door.
"Deng"
As his team's idioms came in order, Yuan Li spoke to them.
"Come with me. Tell me later what Fellow Cultivator Gu wants to do!"
Qi Xiang followed him out of the room. After passing through a narrow passage, they arrived at a slightly spacious living room.
Here, there were a few Snow Mountain Elders with strong auras sitting here. When they saw Yuan Li coming over, they quickly got up and nodded respectfully. Then, they followed the small path and left.
Moreover, Qi Xiang could also feel that there were many people here at the side of the passage. There were some with high and some with low cultivation. It looked like there were many people here.
"I've let you see a joke. It's a little simple. Everyone, sit down first." Yuan Li smiled and said to them. After everyone was seated, he continued, "Ever since I received the news from Brother Gu, I gathered a group of my true confidants and hid here before the other party could react. Otherwise, I would never have thought that my hometown would be infiltrated to such an extent."
"As long as Sect Leader Yuan is fine, that's a blessing. This time, Young Master Gu has something to ask of you." Qi Xiang went straight to the point. There was no time to beat around the bush.
"Brother Gu, to me, I owe him two big favors. No matter what it is, I will agree to it!" Yuan Li said straightforwardly.
The first time was when he was plucking the Heavenly Essence Plant. Yuan Li helped him fend off the enemy and bought him a lot of time to successfully pluck the treasure.
Moreover, it was sucked away by the strange black fog. If Yuan Li hadn't used the Heavenly Essence Plant in advance, he wouldn't have been able to escape. It could be said that Yuan Li had helped him a lot.
When Yuan Li knew that Yuan Li had escaped, the guilt in his heart eased a lot.
The second time was when he was in the group of disciples that returned. He actually received a warning from Gu Zheng. If not, he would definitely have been captured by those Goblin.
Although he had improved and could enter the late stage of Jin Xian at any time, in front of those two old monsters, he didn't have any power to resist. He estimated that he would be seriously injured in a few rounds.
Of course, all of this was because he had brought his trusted subordinates to hide here. Even the other party wouldn't be able to find the various secret passages in the Great Snow Mountain without hundreds of years of exploration.
Unless the other party completely destroyed the Great Snow Mountain. Although Yuan Li knew what they were doing, he could only secretly watch them change everything. He didn't do anything. After all, the other party wouldn't be able to discover his existence.
Therefore, if Gu Zheng needed anything, Yuan Li would do his best to help.
"That's good!" Qi Xiang said happily. Then, he hurriedly explained the simple plan that Gu Zheng had told him. All of this required Yuan Li's cooperation in order to make the most of the advantages of the Great Snow Mountain. It could be said that with Yuan Li, they were on the side of the geographical advantage.
"No problem, we will act now. Brother Gu has already fought with the other party for a short while!" Yuan Li immediately stood up and said after listening.
Just as he finished speaking, the entire cave shook. "Puff, puff", dust kept falling down.
The group of people who had just stood up swayed left and right. They almost fell to the ground accidentally.
"Sect Leader! What's wrong? Did the other party discover this place? We swear to protect the Great Snow Mountain! " As soon as the earthquake ended, a few Elders of the Great Snow Mountain rushed out with weapons in their hands. When they saw Yuan Li, they immediately said.
"It's okay. There will be a lot of such tremors in the future. Even the Great Snow Mountain might collapse. Gather everyone in the hall over there. If anything happens, leave immediately!" Yuan Li said to his subordinates.
"Yes, Sect Leader!" Although they didn't know what Yuan Li was talking about and how such a dangerous situation could happen, they still obeyed the order.
After all, wherever the Sect Leader was, the Great Snow Mountain would be there.
"Let me see what's going on!" After instructing his subordinates, Yuan Li said to Qi Xiang and the rest.
A ball of white mist appeared from Yuan Li's hand. Then, with a spin, it left his hand and exploded into a ball of white mist in the air.
A white light shot out from Yuan Li's hand into the white mist. The white light flashed, and the figures of Gu Zheng and Bo Xu appeared. At this time, they had just crossed the mess on the ground and were walking into the distance.
Looking at the ruins beside them and the body of the unknown creature, Yuan Li said decisively.
"They must have been ambushed, but it seems that they are fine."
"That's good. It seems that we still have time. Let's go!" Qi Xiang also heaved a sigh of relief and said to Yuan Li.
"Let's go. It seems that Fellow Cultivator Gu already knows about us! I'll bring you closer. This way, not only will we not be easily discovered, but we can also find an easier place to ambush. " Yuan Li looked at Gu Zheng who suddenly stopped and turned his head to look in his direction. He even smiled and waved his hand as he spoke again.
Just as Gu Zheng was about to leave, he suddenly felt that he was being peeped at. He immediately looked in the direction of the gaze.
This aura seemed to be Yuan Li's magic. It seemed that Qi Xiang and the rest had already met up with him.
Gu Zheng waved his hand in that direction. A stream of light instantly streaked across the sky and stopped in front of Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and gently placed the snowflake-like thing on his shoulder. With a thought, the layer of snow mountain automatically hid under his clothes. However, he still didn't hide it from the other party. This way, the other party's line of sight could follow him and it would be easier to judge the situation.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng led them to the main hall that was still brand new. When they got closer, the statues on both sides were basically broken into pieces on the ground. It was a mess.
At this time, the passage inside was already open. The cave that was emitting a faint light was like the big mouth of a monster that could devour people at any time, waiting for them to fall into the trap.
Gu Zheng snorted coldly. His divine sense quickly rushed in. After discovering that there was no danger, he continued to walk inside.
Soon, they passed through the tunnel again and arrived at the inner area of the great snow mountain.
Gu Zheng's figure had just walked out of the mountain when he heard a rumbling explosion behind him. Following closely behind, Bo Xu quickly sped up and rushed out. Lan Xing was the last to come out. The cave behind them was already blocked by countless pieces of rubble just as they came out.
It looked like there was no way out. Even their escape route had been blocked.
At this time, on the surrounding mountains, countless bowl-sized red pillars shot into the sky and disappeared into the spell formation above.
All the snowflakes in the air were blocked in mid-air. Not a single snowflake fell down.
On a protruding hill in the distance, the Great Elder, Song Ang and a few others were already standing on it. Below them stood many subordinates. However, upon closer inspection, there was no enemy below the level of Jin Xian.
Including the two Shuras that Gu Zheng thought of, as well as the group of Goblin Jin Xian, they were all eyeing them covetously.
Although there were more Goblin, their quality was not good. There were even two Jin Xian early stage Goblins.
It looked like the other party also knew that the Little Goblin was useless. However, where were they hiding?
Of course, this was not the main point. The main point was that there was a figure struggling beside the Great Elder. It was Xue 'er.
Of course, Gu Zheng's Divine Sense scanned her body a few times. With the Goblin's cunning, he was afraid that the other party would do something to her.
However, the other party did not stop Gu Zheng from looking and allowed Gu Zheng to inspect.
In the end, Gu Zheng confirmed that this was Xue 'er and that there was nothing inside her body that could be done to her.
Bo Xu and the other two looked serious. They had already discussed this situation. If the other party swarmed them, they would not be able to hold on for long. However, Gu Zheng had a way to hold on for a while and ensure that the other party would not be able to hurt them.
"Hurry up and let Xue 'er go! I'm already here. "Gu Zheng shouted at the other party.
"I know you're here. However, do you know how many of our people this witch has killed? Do you think I'll let her go so easily? If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to lure you here, I would have killed her long ago to avenge my juniors! "the Great Elder said coldly. Although his voice was not loud, everyone could hear him clearly.
When the many Goblin below heard the Great Elder's words, they looked at Xue 'er angrily. This was because their juniors and disciples had all died at Xue' er's hands.
More importantly, it was because of Xue 'er. She had wantonly publicized the Goblin's conspiracy, forcing them to speed up their pace. Otherwise, how could they have been so hasty and exposed a single flaw, implicating the entire plan and ending up like this?
Of course, as Xue 'er's backer, Gu Zheng was also someone they were angry with. Not only had he killed their powerful members, but he had also directly ruined their most crucial part of the plan.
He had made all their dreams come to naught. It could be said that he had prevented them from taking the next step and making them hate Gu Zheng.
"If you dare to harm a single hair on her head, I'll make all of you wish you were dead!" Gu Zheng continued to threaten them in the face of such a heavy opponent. He was not worried about his own strength at all. He was not a match for them at all.
"Haha, I think your big words are not bad. However, don't worry, I'll let her see your death with her own eyes! Until then, I can still guarantee her safety. " The Great Elder looked at Xue 'er, whose eyes were about to spit fire, and laughed heartily. Xue' er's body was bound by a blood-red rope in the wind. She could not control her own body at all and could only struggle in vain.
"Stay at the side. I'll let you see how he dies at my hands." The Great Elder snapped his fingers.
The rope around Xue 'er's body shone brightly and extended into many red lines, pressing Xue' er against the wall behind her. It was as if her body was covered by a spider web, leaving only her head exposed. Unfortunately, her mouth was still sealed by a red light, and she could only mutter some incomprehensible words.
"Go!" The Great Elder waved his hand and the Goblin, who had been itching for a fight, shouted as they rushed towards Gu Zheng.
More than 20 Golden Immortal stage cultivators, most of them were middle-stage Demon Clan cultivators. They bared their teeth and rushed towards Gu Zheng. Some Demon Clan cultivators even changed into their original form halfway. Countless spells were released from their hands and rushed towards Gu Zheng.
Bo Xu and the others were already prepared to dodge. They simply couldn't handle so many spells, but they still looked at Gu Zheng.
Seeing the incoming attack, a black sphere slipped out of Gu Zheng's sleeve. Before Bo Xu and the others could see what it looked like, that black sphere was thrown out by Gu Zheng.
Just as that sphere left his body, it instantly exploded into a black fog, forming a black shield in the blink of an eye, firmly trapping Gu Zheng and the others underneath.
Countless surging black gas kept churning above, and those ferocious spells directly disappeared as soon as they entered. Not even the slightest ripple was stirred up.
At this time, the situation inside couldn't be seen from the outside, but the second wave of attacks was launched from a distance. No matter how strong the shield was, how could it withstand the attacks of so many people? The spiritual energy consumed by the shield had been sucked dry.
Little did they know that Gu Zheng, who was below, was looking up with a relaxed expression. They could clearly see what was happening outside, but the people outside couldn't see them.
As soon as those attacks landed on the barrier, the barrier flashed and disintegrated into even more black mist. Unfortunately, the demon beasts were unable to see this at all. They had no idea that their attacks had no effect at all. Instead, they had strengthened the defensive power of the black barrier.
"Big Brother Gu, this thing is good. I wonder if the black sphere you gave us is as powerful as this!" Lan Xing looked around, and a black sphere appeared in his hand. He couldn't bear to put it down. It was a life-saving thing at a critical moment, even if it was only a one-time use.
"Of course, mine isn't as good as this. This is an incredible thing, but it has a time limit." Gu Zheng said honestly. His shield could be considered a simplified version, and it was far inferior to this one.
Perhaps when he advanced to become an Asura, he would be able to create a shield that was much inferior to this one. Unfortunately, it was useless against enemies of the same level.
"Oh, but it's not bad. Hehe! I wonder when they'll be able to come. " Lan Xing kept the black sphere in his hand and turned to look around. Everything was calm. "Now that the only way out has been blocked, I wonder if they'll be able to make it here in time!"
To be honest, they were the absolute main force. Each of them had no problem dealing with a few Goblin. As for the strong protectors, they were left to Qi Xiang to deal with. The other party didn't have many people.
"Don't worry, they definitely won't disappoint us. What we need to do now is to buy as much time as possible before they notice us." Gu Zheng didn't turn his head back. He simply stared outside at the place where Xue 'er was trapped.
As for the enemies outside, he didn't even look at them. Even if the Great Elder and the Asura Tribe attacked at the same time, this shield would be able to block all of their attacks. The only flaw was that it could only last for six hours at most. After that, it would collapse on its own.
This was what General Lei had told him. After all, this thing was the essence of that person's body. However, it couldn't be preserved for too long in the wilderness.
Gu Zheng, who was waiting for Qi Xiang and the rest to make their move, did not expect that a group of uninvited guests would suddenly appear at the bottom of the mountain.
At this moment, the leader of the group, a young girl, looked at the mountain not far away and whispered to the people behind her.
"Everyone, hurry up. We're almost there. Pay attention to your surroundings!"
"Got it! Miss Shuang 'er. "
The group of people flew forward stealthily. Their figures didn't even cause the wind to blow. In less than ten minutes, they had already arrived at the bottom of the mountain.
"Miss Shuang 'er, your concealment powder is really useful. Even Senior Gu and the rest didn't detect our presence." Yu Zhen praised the leader, Shuang' er.
"That's right. This is a powder that I created. If we don't take precautions, we'll be like a group of wild animals in the eyes of the other party. We won't be noticeable in this place." Shuang 'er raised her head and said proudly.
"But how are we going to go in now? This place has been sealed! "The leader at the side looked at the bright red formation in front of him and said with a weak voice.
A powerful aura leaked out from the formation. Any wave could crush all of them into powder.
