Let's go back in time a little. When they were retreating, Elder Xu and Pang Li had also disappeared from the sky.
At this moment, Qing Xuan and the others had been surrounded for an incense stick's worth of time. They were still trying to think of a way to break out of this mysterious space.
They had already realized that something was wrong with this place. They probably couldn't be seen from the outside. If they didn't break out of this place, they wouldn't be able to escape no matter what.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Following these words, Elder Xu's figure appeared from the passage that the crowd had opened up. He was the only one who had come here.
"Is this the trap you set? If you have the ability, do it openly. Why would you do such a despicable thing? You're only fit to hide in the dark. "Qing Xuan couldn't hold back the anger in her heart when she saw that the main person had finally arrived.
"You can say whatever you want. I just like to be the final winner. As for the process, I don't care. Or rather, you guys have become stupid here. This is simply the law of the jungle. Don't tell me that you guys came this far by being open and aboveboard. Don't you have any tricks up your sleeves?" Elder Xu said disdainfully.
It seemed that they had flaunted themselves for too long and had forgotten what they had done in the past.
This caused Qing Xuan and the others to stagnate. If they thought about it carefully, each of them had more or less used some underhanded methods to fulfill their desires.
"You have nothing to say? Then it's my turn." Elder Xu looked and struck while the iron was hot.
"Now that you've been surrounded by us, I'm afraid you guys have realized the truth. I can't do anything, but that doesn't mean that our subordinate gods can't do anything to you. The reason why I've spared your lives is because you guys are still useful. As long as you promise me one thing, I'll naturally let you guys go."
"What do you mean?" Alder asked loudly. He didn't understand what Elder Xu meant.
"It's very simple!" Elder Xu came in front of them, looked at the three of them, and said word by word.
"After you guys go back, help us cut down the enemy's flag. It's very simple for you guys, right?"
"You want us to betray you? That's impossible. Do you know how serious the consequences are?" Alder finally understood what Elder Xu meant.
"Serious? No matter how serious it is, can it be more serious than losing one's life? "Xu Lao looked at them in amusement and continued.
"Your betrayal only made it easier for us to break into the enemy's village. Since Gu Zheng doesn't dare to come out and is hiding inside, we can only use this method to trick you out. You can only blame yourselves for being too gullible!"
"Impossible, you better give up!" After Qing Xuan heard this, she flatly refused.
Alder and Man Tian nodded at the same time, agreeing with Qing Xuan.
"Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Do you know the consequences of your refusal?" The smile on Elder Xu's face disappeared as he spoke in a somewhat sinister manner.
The people behind him also laughed sinisterly and held their weapons in their hands. The aura on their bodies was faintly discernible and pressed towards Qing Xuan and the other two.
The three of them couldn't help but change their expressions. This was clearly an undisguised threat.
"What do you think? It's too hurtful to say it out loud. Think about it carefully. No one here can save you." Elder Xu persuaded very patiently.
The three of them suddenly stopped talking and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Let go of that thought. Even if I die, I won't betray you. It's not for my life, but for the Dao in our hearts!" Qing Xuan looked around, took a step forward and said resolutely.
The blurriness in her eyes was no longer there. A sense of determination replaced the trace of weakness.
"Even if our lives are saved if we betray you, we have worked so hard to cultivate until now. Who knows how many hardships, who knows how many trials and tribulations, who knows how many times we have gone through between life and death. Is it just to stand at the bottom of the mountain and stop here forever? Watching the friends around me surpass me one by one, that is something I can't accept."
A simple shout woke up the two people beside her. They couldn't help but look at Qing Xuan. At this moment, the beautiful figure suddenly became taller.
"My goal is to walk to the top of the mountain. Even if I might die on the way and become a wisp of spirit without even collecting my remains, or even if the whole world forgets about me, I still won't regret it."
"In order to win, of course I will use some underhanded methods. But not like you."
Qing Xuan looked at Xu Lao and smiled. With a wave of her hand, a gentle breeze blew out from the side, and a gust of red smoke was forced back.
"You actually used crafty arts!" When Alder saw this, how could nothing happen? He circulated the mana in his body and his mind became much clearer. The thoughts of being bewitched by Qing Xuan were instantly awakened.
When they were surrounded, Qing Xuan actually used such a method.
"Good, good, good!" Xu Lao clapped his hands and laughed. "You are really amazing. To actually be able to break through the shackles in your heart. Congratulations, congratulations. I'm afraid it won't be long before you can defeat all of us. But under the suppression of this place, you won't be able to break through no matter what."
Xu Lao's words shocked Mantian and the others. They looked at Qing Xuan carefully and discovered that a strange aura started to surround her. It was completely different from the aura from before. Could it be that she really broke through that level?
"Don't try to shake me. I naturally know that I didn't break through. It's just that I have some enlightenment in my heart. Speaking of which, I still have to thank you for allowing me to cross more than half of the distance." Qing Xuan said coldly.
This time, Alder and the others understood. Although they hadn't broken through to that level, from the looks of it now, it was already something that would happen naturally. After a few tens of thousands of years at most, the other party would directly leave this level and reach the level they had always desired to reach.
This was her opportunity. Whether they were envious or jealous, it was something that could only be encountered and not sought.
"That's really a pity. Let's finish them off." Old Xu stared at Qing Xuan as he waved his hands behind him. After that, his silhouette vanished from this place, departing from this place.
The three of them looked at the opposite side and slowly approached.
"Let's fight to the death!" Qing Xuan raised her green sword and said slowly.
"If you aren't afraid, then I won't be! Just like what you said, I have broken through so many life and death situations. Why would I be afraid of this? " Alder laughed. A huge iron wall suddenly appeared on his arm. At the same time, a layer of blood-red armor appeared on the surface. He was serious.
"I should also continue to strengthen my cultivation!" Man Tian muttered. He looked at the opposite side fearlessly. A few damaged puppets were taken out again.
At this moment, the three of them had already decided to fight to the death in their hearts. This was because a few Jin Xian later joined in.
At this moment, they were facing four Jin Xian Pinnacle Stage experts, a dozen Jin Xian Late Stage experts and a few Jin Xian Late Stage experts.
In addition to this strange place, the chances of them escaping were too low.
Moreover, He Sheng's side probably didn't realize that their side was different. Young Master Gu was still injured and unconscious. They really had no way out.
"Go, kill them!"
The crowd rushed towards Qing Xuan and the others. Suddenly, the sword Qi in the air was crisscrossing. Countless huge waves appeared in the air.
Half a day later, Qing Xuan and the others were forced to squeeze together again. Their wish to separate and escape had also failed.
At this moment, the three of them were seriously injured. The puppets of Man Tian had been completely turned into trash. The others were in tatters and couldn't fight anymore.
Man Tian might be the weakest, but he was also the one who suffered the most attacks. This was because his puppets were the biggest threat to the crowd.
"This time, we really have to say goodbye!" Seeing that the other party had surrounded them again, spots of light appeared in their hands. Soon, they would be bombarded by countless spells.
"If we die, then we die. What are we afraid of? But I won't surrender so easily. " Alder shouted weakly. However, he was really just talking. Right now, they didn't even have the strength to hold up a shield.
The explosion of power just now, coupled with the encirclement of the other party, had already made them at the end of their rope.
However, the enemy didn't care about their thoughts. Bright rays of light were emitted from the opposite side. Countless sword Qi and attacks from treasures covered the sky and the earth as they surged towards them.
At the last moment, they tried their best to condense a few shields. Unfortunately, it was obvious that they couldn't block the attacks from the opposite side. A ray of white light suddenly lit up on their bodies.
The three rays of light on their bodies connected with each other. A layer of white shield suddenly covered them and protected them firmly.
Those violent attacks all landed on the light shield. Large ripples constantly appeared on the surface of the shield. However, in the end, it didn't break.
"This is the blessing of Young Master Gu's village. I didn't expect it to be useful for us!" Qing Xuan looked above and muttered to herself.
Unfortunately, just as she finished speaking, the white shield above shattered in the air. It turned into a large white rain that fell on their bodies.
It allowed the wounds on their bodies to quickly recover. Even their spirit and mana recovered slightly.
"Even so, what's the difference?" Man Tian looked at the other side condensing rays of light again. It seemed like the other party wanted to kill them directly with spells.
Previously, when they used all their strength, they didn't succeed in escaping. So what if they recovered a little now?
The other party's attack roared again. This time, they didn't have anything to block it.
However, at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of them. A layer of black shield rose again. Those attacks all landed on it and were blocked again.
"Young Master Gu!"
Qing Xuan shouted in surprise. Alder and Man Tian were also surprised. They didn't expect him to appear here.
"It's the ancestor god on the other side!"
When the people on the other side saw Gu Zheng's figure, a few of them immediately shouted. At the same time, their faces were filled with joy.
As soon as they finished speaking, everyone on the other side retreated very tacitly. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared in front of them.
This made Alder and the others puzzled. The other party wouldn't start a conflict with Gu Zheng. Why did they retreat immediately when they saw him?
"Come out. Didn't you set up such a circle to lure me out? Aren't you tired?" Gu Zheng didn't speak to Qing Xuan and the others. Instead, he shouted to the sky.
"Haha, you really have some skills. However, why did you come out? I thought you would just watch them die!" At this moment, in the sky, where there was no one, Elder Xu's figure appeared again. He looked down at them from above.
"If you have the ability, then show your real body. What's the point of leaving an illusion? So sneaky?" Gu Zheng snorted coldly.
"It's not up to you to decide whether I want to see them or not. Are you suffering from Qigong Deviation because of your injuries? You still dare to come out in such a state. It seems like you are really confident! "The illusion of Elder Xu landed from the sky and praised Gu Zheng.
"You don't need to ask about that. Send them away. I want to see if your specialized trap can keep them here." Gu Zheng did not bother to waste words with him, and said bluntly.
"Haha! Alright! "Elder Xu laughed and said painfully.
"You guys hurry back to the village. I will be back in a while!" Gu Zheng said to the three of them.
"Young Master Gu? Young Master Gu! " Qing Xuan, who reacted quickly, seemed to have understood. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a blur in front of her and found herself in mid-air. In the distance, the flag of Gu Zheng's village could be seen clearly. They had appeared from the strange space inside.
"What's going on?" Alder, who was slow to react, was puzzled. As for Man Tian, he seemed to have understood something.
"Let's go back first!" Qing Xuan looked at the enemies in the distance. It was the group of people who had besieged them before. They were rushing towards them as if they wanted to keep them here.
However, without the restriction of the space, the three of them easily got rid of them and returned to the village.
Standing at the edge of the village and looking at the enemies, Alder couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
"The other party didn't intend to ask us to surrender from the beginning. Instead, they took the opportunity to trap us here and stall for time. Then, they would lure Young Master Gu out and throw themselves into the trap." Qing Xuan explained briefly to let them understand.
"You mean …" Alder took a deep breath and looked at the sky in disbelief.
"That's right. The other party's trap had been designed for Young Master Gu. Everyone was just bait. However, he is still injured." Qing Xuan said worriedly.
"I hope Young Master Gu can come out safely!" Man Tian said. If Gu Zheng didn't come out, they would definitely die.
At this moment, a layer of golden light lit up in the sky and was slowly compressing inside.
This thing was the treasure that trapped them.
After Qing Xuan and the others left, Xu Lao just smiled and looked at Gu Zheng as if he was looking at a dead man. He waited for a while before speaking.
"What are your last words? Just say it."
He seemed to be sure that Gu Zheng wouldn't be able to escape.
"Wait for me to bring your head back. I will give you time to say it then." Gu Zheng snorted. A golden light rose from his palm and instantly hit Xu Lao in front of him, causing his figure to dissipate.
"Let's talk after you escape!"
After leaving these words, Xu Lao's phantom completely disappeared in front of Gu Zheng.
At the same time, the entire space began to shake violently. Countless astral winds rose from the inside. At the outermost periphery, a golden light suddenly rose and a figure flashed, slowly squeezing towards Gu Zheng's position.
Gu Zheng stood motionless in the gale. He began to look around his surroundings.
The other party was so confident that he would definitely die. The power of this treasure must be extraordinary. One must know that even Qing Xuan and the others couldn't break out. It was very powerful.
Half an hour passed and the astral winds in the air became more violent. However, Gu Zheng still didn't move, but his face had turned serious.
This place was actually condensed into a small space by the other party. It was now completely isolated from the outside world. Even the perception of the statues outside was cut off. Even the passage that he broke had disappeared.
In other words, he had been completely locked in this space that was like a room.
And this room was still slowly closing in the direction of self-destruction.
As the surrounding golden light began to close, balls of earth fire began to burn in the air. Traces of black cracks even began to appear in many places.
This space was slowly collapsing. He was afraid that he would be torn apart by the space cracks before it completely closed.
After not finding any flaws, Gu Zheng's body began to surge with an intense golden light. Countless palm-sized golden runes floated in the air.
The strong fluctuations forced the astral winds that were everywhere to retreat.
Gu Zheng's eyes had already been dyed golden. Golden light soared into the sky, as if a golden pillar was holding up the sky, freezing all the strange phenomena around him.
Suddenly, Gu Zheng, who was originally motionless, slowly raised his fist. The golden light that filled the sky also quickly began to shrink.
"Open for me!"
When all the golden light rushed to his arm, Gu Zheng roared and punched the void in front of him.
The whole void suddenly trembled. Even the retracting golden light suddenly stopped. The astral winds in the space also suddenly stopped.
The golden light suddenly brightened. A golden dragon roared and rushed out from Gu Zheng's arm. With the power of thunder, it rushed to the edge in the distance.
Wherever it passed, all obstacles were turned into powder. Even some unstable space was suppressed and returned to normal.
Gu Zheng felt a burst of emptiness in his body. He resisted the dizziness and followed behind the golden dragon, hoping that the other party would open a gap for him to escape.
This blow had already drained all the spiritual power in Gu Zheng's body. At this stage, it was impossible to launch a second fierce attack.
In the process of the golden dragon's movement, its whole body twisted and accelerated the impact. It bent its head slightly and rushed toward the approaching golden light.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering sound rang in the air. The entire golden light began to tremble violently under the collision of the golden dragon. Its body continued to expand.
However, in just a few breaths, a layer of pale yellow mist suddenly emerged from all directions. The golden light that was knocked back seemed to be more than ten times stronger. It couldn't stand still in the air in an instant.
No matter how hard the golden dragon tried, it couldn't force the golden light back. The two fell into a state of rigidity.
However, the golden light began to counterattack quickly. It quickly shrank at a speed that was several times faster than before. The light on the golden dragon faded quickly. After a final sad cry, it turned into golden light and disappeared.
"I wanted to see you struggle. You really have some strength. Then, goodbye!"
