The four of them quietly approached from the outside. However, they immediately stopped and their figures once again disappeared into the air.
"We finally found the other party! Young Master Gu, how about I go and check it out! "Man Tian said.
"Be careful!" Gu Zheng nodded and instructed.
"Watch me!"
Man Tian took out a very small thing from his bosom. It was indeed a puppet that looked like a mouse. Its body was only the size of a palm and was very inconspicuous.
Under Man Tian's activation, the small creature instantly came to life and scurried over. As it walked, it made no sound.
"This is a good treasure that I use for reconnaissance." Man Tian said. At the same time, he controlled the small creature to scout ahead.
From its aura, it really looked like a living creature. Even if Gu Zheng did not see it with his own eyes, he would not be able to tell that the small creature was actually a puppet.
The few of them carefully looked into the distance, afraid that they would miss anything.
They saw that the small creature quickly arrived at the place where the Daoist had been before. However, nothing happened.
Under Gu Zheng's signal, Man Tian continued to control the small creature to scout ahead. However, something unexpected happened. The small creature actually passed through the place where the barrier was previously opened. It was as if there was a piece of flat land in front of it.
"Go and try to destroy it!" Gu Zheng saw that the small creature continued to move forward and instructed Man Tian.
The small creature began to use its sharp claws to crazily dig the ground. In the blink of an eye, a hole was dug out.
"It's actually hidden in another space!" Gu Zheng saw this and understood what was going on. No wonder the old man gave him the silver needle. Otherwise, even if the other party was right in front of his eyes, he would not be able to enter.
He had really seen the Concealment Jade Stone. No wonder no one could find them.
In this way, they would not be able to sense the outside world and could only rely on special methods to enter and exit.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng said to Man Tian.
"Put away your pet. Let's go and take a look!"
Although the others did not understand, they still followed Gu Zheng and revealed themselves and walked over.
"Don't worry. Unless the other party comes out, it's impossible for them to discover us." Gu Zheng explained to them. After combining the previous events, they understood why.
"You scared me. I thought Young Master Gu was going to fight the other party head-on!" Alder heaved a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know how many enemies there were, he knew that there were at least a hundred of them. That wasn't a lie.
"Let's mark the location first. We'll come knocking on their door when we get back." Gu Zheng's hand sprinkled golden light onto the ground below. There were markings that only he knew.
"Young Master Gu, you really aren't someone who is prepared to challenge everyone, right? Why don't you take the opportunity to sneak in and place that stone inside? Then, the other party will naturally be expelled." Alder was shocked again. He looked at Gu Zheng's serious face and said in disbelief.
"Of course not, but I have a way to defeat him!" Gu Zheng was full of confidence as he thought of the water sculpture.
Before coming here, when he held the water ball in his hand, he found that he could actually control the power of incense through it, far more skillfully than before.
Although after leaving the water ball, he would return to his original state and wouldn't be able to use the power of incense. His title of Ancestor God was only in name, as long as he could borrow it, he wouldn't be afraid of any enemy. It was just a little troublesome.
Fortunately, he had refined the Nine Dragons Cover previously. At least, he could barely store the power of faith temporarily and not waste it.
"Since Young Master Gu has a way, I'm relieved!" Alder saw this and didn't think about it anymore. Like Qing Xuan and the others, he was on alert.
"Alright, let's leave this place and take a rest outside. We'll leave this place after that!" In a short while, Gu Zheng finished his work.
The group of people hurriedly erased the traces they left behind and left in a random direction.
Only when they were far enough away did they stop their attack.
They had been fighting a battle of wits and courage with the Daoist all along the way. Everyone was exhausted. They could take this opportunity to take a rest before rushing back.
Three days later, they finished their rest and were ready to set off. However, they were suddenly stopped by Gu Zheng. Then, he hid everyone here.
Just as they finished doing all this, a figure instantly flew over their heads.
That person's hair was disheveled and he was in a sorry state. There was blood at the corner of his mouth. His breath was also very messy. It was as though he had just suffered a serious injury and was running for his life.
"Shhh!"
Qing Xuan was about to say something but was stopped by Gu Zheng.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, another figure swept across the sky.
Looking at the murderous look of the other party, it was obvious that he was chasing after the previous person.
After this person left, Gu Zheng removed their disguise and looked into the distance with some doubts.
"What's wrong? Did those two people run out from inside? "Qing Xuan asked suspiciously when she saw Gu Zheng's action.
"Yes, but the person in front gave me a familiar feeling. It was as though I had seen him somewhere before!" Gu Zheng said doubtfully.
"Why don't we chase after them? Anyway, we'll be here soon. We can catch them and get some information!" Man Tian said eagerly.
"Alright, I'll go first. You guys wait here for a while and see if there are any enemies behind. If there are, stop them. If not, follow us!" Gu Zheng nodded and agreed with Man Tian's suggestion.
After saying that, Gu Zheng's figure flew into the distance at an extremely fast speed.
Three people were left behind to look in that direction vigilantly to prevent anyone from disturbing Gu Zheng.
As for Gu Zheng's safety, they were not worried at all.
Here, the person who was running at the front slowed down as his body weakened. Before he could run far, he found that the pursuers behind him had caught up. He could not help but shout angrily.
"You people are so ruthless. You don't live up to your name. I came here because of your reputation. I didn't expect you to be a group of hypocrites."
"I say, Fellow Daoist Chi Wen, I think you should stop running. Why do you have to suffer so much? Come back with me obediently. By the way, tell me how you escaped from inside. Is there anyone who helped you inside? If you can identify them, I guarantee that you will survive safely."
Behind Chi Wen, there was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face. He was wearing a blue robe. As he spoke, he sped up and chased, closing the distance between them bit by bit.
At this rate, he would be able to catch up with the other party in less than an hour.
"Bullsh * t, you want me to be your slave? You're dead. When I get out and report you, it's useless no matter how deep you hide!" Chi Wen shouted angrily without turning his head.
"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Do you think you can run away?" The blue-robed man snorted coldly. Seeing that the other party was talking to him, he took the opportunity to close the distance between them. He stretched out his hand and a golden jade ring appeared in his hand. With a flash of golden light, he threw it out of his hand.
The jade ring spun rapidly in the air with a loud whistle. It formed a golden stream in the air and chased after Chi Wen.
Chi Wen looked back and couldn't help but be scared out of his wits. A flying sword appeared in his hand and he shot it behind him. Without looking back, he sped up again and fled into the distance.
"Ding." The flying sword was easily knocked away by the jade ring in the air. It was obvious that the flying sword was almost broken in two.
The blue-robed man who was chasing after him laughed and mocked Chi Wen who was gradually pulling away.
"Don't you have anything good on you? You have the nerve to take out something that even Celestial Immortals don't like. Why don't you just leave it and I guarantee that you'll be fully armed? "
Chi Wen's cheeks instantly flushed red. However, he didn't reply to the other party. He also realized that while he was talking, his breath was unstable. The other party took the opportunity to close the distance between them.
He definitely wouldn't be someone else's slave.
It was a pity that in order to break out of the encirclement, he suffered a lot of backlash. Even if he forced himself to speed up, he couldn't pull away by much.
On the other hand, the other party seemed to be waiting for him to tire himself out. He followed him unhurriedly and wanted to wait until he was at his weakest to subdue him. This place was vast and sparsely populated. There was no need to be afraid of being seen by others.
"If only a random person came. Even if I have to die, I'll expose the other party's scheme." Chi Wen thought to himself.
His eyes constantly looked around. However, he also knew that in this place where there were few people, the probability of meeting someone was simply too small.
His thoughts swept through his mind and he became excited again. He took out one of the few pills he had and swallowed it. Until now, he had run if he could. If he couldn't run, then he would fight it out with the other party.
Suddenly, not far in front of him, there seemed to be a figure standing still in front of him. He couldn't help but blink his eyes. How could he meet someone so coincidentally?
However, after confirming that his eyes weren't playing tricks on him, a jade tube that he had prepared beforehand fell into his hand. He threw the jade tube over from afar and shouted loudly.
"Fellow Daoist, please quickly take this to the City of Hope. Everything is in detail inside!"
After saying that, he quickly ran to the other side, wanting to lead the pursuer away.
As for whether this person was an enemy or a friend, that would depend on the will of the heavens.
The moment he turned around, he also saw the person who wanted to run in the air. It was an abnormally young face, which made his heart sink. He felt uncertain about whether he could send the person over.
In the blink of an eye, he abandoned the person from the side. However, why did that face look somewhat familiar?
"Fellow Daoist, can you hand over the item in your hand? I'll definitely give you a satisfactory talisman later!" The blue-robed man stopped and said to the figure in front of him.
At this time, the seal on the jade tube had not been opened yet. This meant that this person had not seen the contents inside. He didn't expect that there would be someone here.
"Sorry, since the other party has handed it to me, then I'll definitely bring it over!" Gu Zheng grinned and put away the jade tube.
"Okay, okay, then don't blame me for being rude!" A white light instantly shot out from his hand and almost instantly shot into Gu Zheng's body. Gu Zheng didn't even have time to react.
A layer of faint white light lit up on Gu Zheng's body, as if it was some kind of mark.
At the same time, the blue-robed man took out a red-crowned crane that looked like a piece of paper. He threw it, and it really turned into a red-crowned crane and flew back.
Its speed was so fast that it almost disappeared in front of Gu Zheng in the blink of an eye. There was no way to chase after it.
"You'll be hunted down. I have more important things to do, so I'll let you go for now!" The blue-robed man said fiercely. He turned around and was about to leave to chase after Chi Wen.
However, before he could move, Chi Wen's figure ran back from afar. It looked like he wanted to fight the blue-robed man to the death. The blue-robed man casually set up a few defenses around himself and at the same time, looked at the other party with vigilance.
The result was beyond his expectations. Chi Wen flew to the side of the young man who was blocking him and said excitedly.
"Senior, can I ask if you're Gu Zheng, Senior Gu?"
It was a short sentence, but Chi Wen actually said it three times before he finished it. It could be seen that he was very excited.
"I think you're silly. You actually called someone whose cultivation is lower than yours senior. Don't you know how to run? Are you rushing back to die together?" The blue-robed man was stunned and couldn't help but laugh.
However, Chi Wen didn't ask him. He only looked at Gu Zheng eagerly, as if he was waiting for his reply.
"Yes, you are? You look a little familiar! " Gu Zheng nodded. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with being called a senior. He vaguely felt that the other party was somewhat familiar.
"That's great, Senior Gu. Perhaps you don't know me. I'm one of the surviving warriors under Elder Xiong. My name is Chi Wen. I was fortunate to have seen your demeanor during the final break!" When he heard Gu Zheng admit it, Chi Wen immediately said with tears in his eyes. He lowered his posture and revealed his identity.
His group knew how valiant Gu Zheng's battle record was. Speaking of which, the fact that they could successfully break out of the encirclement was mostly due to Gu Zheng's contribution.
Even if he didn't know why Gu Zheng's cultivation seemed to be weaker than the last time, he knew that the battle with Ouyang Ping had shocked many people. Even if he didn't use the secret technique at the end, the previous battle still shocked everyone.
"Oh, so it's that group of people. I didn't expect you to be here too!" Gu Zheng thought for a moment and found the other party in his memory. Although it was only a glimpse because he didn't remember these people at all, he had indeed seen him before. No wonder he gave off a familiar feeling.
"Yes, I didn't want to at first, but I was forced to come here to take a look. In the end, I was deceived by the other party and almost fell into it!" Chi Wen hurriedly nodded. At the end of his words, he pointed at the blue-robed man outside with a face full of resentment.
Gu Zheng was about to ask the other party what was going on, but he was suddenly interrupted by the blue-robed man!
"Do you really think I'm invisible? One of you is disabled, and the other is half disabled. What other tricks can you play?"
The blue-robed man was angry. Seeing the other party reminiscing about the past, he knew that the two of them knew each other. What a coincidence, but he wasn't afraid at all.
"Wait a moment. Let me deal with this foul-mouthed person first. Then we can talk in detail!" Gu Zheng looked at Chi Wen and said.
"Senior Gu, please be careful. The other party is not weak." Chi Wen didn't try to be brave and retreated to the side. However, before he left, he still said worriedly to Gu Zheng not to underestimate the enemy.
"Don't worry. Be careful of yourself!" Gu Zheng nodded. He stretched out his hand and a very ordinary long sword appeared in his hand. He looked at the blue-robed man.
"Haha, could it be that you are the same as him? So poor that you don't even have a weapon?" The blue-robed man looked at Gu Zheng's weapon and couldn't help but sneer. At the same time, a weapon suddenly appeared in his hand.
It was a golden Vajra Scepter. One end flashed with the power of blue lightning, accompanied by crackling sounds. Many blue electric arcs appeared out of thin air around the scepter. On the other end, there was a large mass of white light. A gentle power was constantly emanating from it.
Gu Zheng looked at the weapon in his hand. If it was for a Celestial Immortal, it was obviously a good weapon. However, for a Jin Xian, it was a relatively sharp weapon. The other party was obviously a very good weapon. No wonder he said that.
"As long as the weapon is up to standard, it's fine. Because it's enough to kill you!" Gu Zheng raised the long sword in his hand and looked at the other party calmly.
"Tsk, watch how I deal with …" The blue-robed man smiled disdainfully. However, before he could finish his sentence, his face suddenly changed. His body rapidly retreated hundreds of meters behind him.
Just as he retreated, countless sword lights covered the place where he was. If he was a step late, he would have been cut into pieces.
Gu Zheng's figure also disappeared from where he was and appeared above the sword lights in a strange way.
Whether or not he was an expert, one would know when he made his move.
This time, the blue-robed man didn't dare to underestimate his opponent. After he stabilized his body, he raised the weapon in his hand. The blue light on the top of the weapon shone brightly. A loud sound suddenly flashed in the air.
However, this was just the beginning. Then, countless violent roars sounded. A blue arc as thick as a thigh was stimulated from the weapon. It flashed in the air and attacked Gu Zheng.
When it approached Gu Zheng's body, the electric arc expanded in the air in the blink of an eye. Electric arcs appeared in the air and condensed into a circular cage with a diameter of several feet. It covered Gu Zheng's head.
In the midst of a thunderbolt, countless blue electric arcs flashed violently with Gu Zheng as the center. They jumped violently in the air.
"Haha, with this little ability, you still have the nerve to show off!" Seeing Gu Zheng being attacked by his trap, the blue-robed man couldn't help but mock him.
In the face of such a fierce attack, he didn't even dodge. Did he really think that the blue-robed man was a fearless tiger?
Thinking of this, the blue-robed man held the Vajra in his hand horizontally in front of him again. Two of his fingers went deep into the blue end and pulled it out. A sparkling blue lightning seemed to solidify and was pulled out by him.
At this time, the electric arc in the air strangely emitted a black gas. The circles of blue light continued to dissipate, revealing Gu Zheng's mocking face.
"With this little attack, you really deserve to be called fugitives!" Gu Zheng stretched out his palm and hit the remaining electric circles around him, completely shattering all the electric arcs.
Looking at Gu Zheng's disdainful face and the unscathed body, the blue-robed man was really shocked. His eyes bulged as he exclaimed.
"Impossible!"
