Three days later, the group that was rushing along the edge of the forest came to a stop.
"Young Master Gu, is Elder Ye awake?"
Yingshao and Luo Xin, on the other hand, were not tired at all. This was because Gu Zheng was carrying them. Otherwise, with their speed, how long would it take for them to reach their destination?
At this time, they were very close to the place where Gu Zheng had first rushed up. It would take at most half a day's time.
However, Elder Ye also finally woke up at this time, and only then did he stop.
"You are?" Elder Ye was a little confused. He looked at Luo Xin and Yingshao in front of him, then looked at his surroundings and asked doubtfully.
"It was Young Master who saved you!" Yingshao pointed behind him and said with a wink.
Elder Ye looked over and saw that it was the young man who had said that he would take him away. In the end, he had only said a few words and knocked him out. Now, he was looking at him with a smile.
At this time, the purple aura on Gu Zheng's body had faded. He now looked like a human.
"I didn't expect you to put in so much effort. It's really beyond my expectations. No wonder you knocked me out. So that's why!" Something unexpected happened.
When Elder Ye saw Gu Zheng, he immediately woke up and said in a strange tone. The smile on Gu Zheng's face immediately froze. He didn't know whether to laugh or to be angry. He just stood there, frozen.
Even Luo Xin and the rest were dumbfounded. They didn't know what medicine Elder Ye had taken to doubt them.
"Have you gone senile? You don't know how much Young Master Gu sacrificed to save you!" Although Luo Xin didn't know how much Gu Zheng sacrificed, he had spared no effort and risked being exposed to save him. This was enough.
"How much did he sacrifice? I'm afraid it was to bring me away from this distance!" Elder Ye stood up and looked at the nearby trees greedily as he said again.
"You have two biggest flaws. One is the place where you locked me up and the city gate. There's a kind of detection method. Non-demons can't pass through, and they can't fly out. How did you bring me out?"
"Secondly, it is indeed a good move for you to transform into a human. However, there are two Little Goblin behind you. How are you going to serve me?"
Elder Ye looked like he had seen through them, stunning the three of them once again.
"No, Elder Ye, I have a talent that can help people hide their aura. Otherwise, Elder Gu wouldn't have brought me along!" Yingshao said anxiously.
"Elder? You let it slip right, prepare more next time, two little girls, even if it's a honey trap, I'm not interested in it! "Elder Ye turned around, and said with a tone that said he wanted to quickly send me back.
"Forget it, don't bother with him. Maybe he's been spied on too much!" Gu Zheng took a deep breath and said to Yingshao who still wanted to argue. He then walked in front of Elder Ye.
"Elder Ye, I am Xingcai's friend, Gu Zheng. Maybe you've heard of me before. For some reason, I know some things and only came here a few years ago. By chance, I found out about you being held captive. Coincidentally, I haven't entered Foundation Village yet, and I have a special method. Xingcai told me about you, and I know that you don't love Xingcai very much. Therefore, I came here to take the risk to rescue you.
"Gu Zheng, I did hear that girl Xing Cai mention you before. You're her fiancé, right?" Elder Ye looked at Gu Zheng's eyes. From those incomparably clear eyes, he could see that the other party didn't seem to be lying. In addition, not many people even knew the name Gu Zheng, so he was a bit hesitant.
"No, you also know Xingcai's temper. I am only her shield. This time, I came here to make the man who is pursuing her give up." Gu Zheng didn't admit it, and instead said his purpose of coming here.
Although Xingcai told him that she wouldn't tell anyone, including her father, if Elder Ye really cared about Xingcai, then he would definitely understand Xingcai's heart. Moreover, he came back this time, so it was impossible for him not to ask.
"Good boy, it seems that I really misunderstood you!" Elder Ye suddenly laughed, because that was the hole that was dug for him.
"What is going on! So flustered, so unreasonable. Serves you right to be captured. "Yingshao looked at Elder Ye whose expression was constantly changing and muttered.
Elder Ye knew that he was indeed a bit too vigilant before, so he didn't argue with this little girl.
"I can't break your seal, otherwise I will restore your cultivation!" Gu Zheng didn't take it to heart and said to him.
"This was set by that general, so it's normal that you can't break it. Go back and ask the patriarch to break it for me. Speaking of which, where is the secret passage you mentioned? After so many years, no one knows that there is a secret passage." Elder Ye explained the seal on his body. He was very curious about the secret passage that Gu Zheng mentioned.
"When you have time, just ask the girl behind you. Now we have to hurry." Gu Zheng pointed at Luo Xin and said. He didn't know how he appeared.
"Let's hurry up and go. I am worried that there will be people chasing after us at any time." Luo Xin looked back worriedly. Even if there was no one behind them, her heart was in turmoil. She was afraid that in the blink of an eye, more than ten enemies would appear and capture them.
Gu Zheng once again brought the three of them and flew forward.
Half a day later, Gu Zheng arrived at the riverside. Fortunately, this place was very far away and there were no extra people around.
"I remember that I know that the road was blown up. Can we still go back?" At this time, Luo Xin finally couldn't help but ask the question in her heart.
Perhaps Gu Zheng might have followed her. It was normal that she couldn't discover him because her cultivation was too weak.
"Even the eyes can deceive us, let alone other things!" Gu Zheng didn't explain too much and said to them.
"You guys wait here for a while. I will bring you down later."
"Why don't we go down together?" Yingshao looked down and asked puzzledly.
"Because there are some small insects down there. If we don't clean them up, it will be too dangerous for you guys to go down." Gu Zheng looked down at the water and sneered.
"What bug? I like to eat bugs. Can you leave some for me?" When Yingshao heard this, she raised her head and asked Gu Zheng with some joy.
Luo Xin closed her eyes. This little clam was too naive. She was so naive that she didn't even know how to say it. She had been teaching her for so long, but she didn't remember most of the things.
"Be careful. We will wait for you here!" Elder Ye understood Gu Zheng's meaning.
"I will be back in a while!" Gu Zheng ignored Yingshao's seemingly reasonable request.
"Plop"
After saying that, Gu Zheng's body jumped into the river and his figure quickly disappeared.
"Let's go to the side and hide ourselves!" Seeing this, Elder Ye pointed to a lush bush not far away and said.
Yingshao and Luo Xin followed him and climbed down together.
If one didn't use their divine sense, they couldn't see their shadows with the naked eye.
"Why do I feel the ground shaking?"
They stayed there for less than half a day before they felt the ground tremble slightly. Yingshao said uneasily, as if a great disaster was about to befall them.
"It's okay. Young master is cleaning up the insects. He will be back in a while!" Luo Xin quietly explained.
"Insects. I want to eat them!" Yingshao swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She used to love those insects when she hid in the water.
"It will be even better in the future. Don't mention those insects. I feel a little disgusted!" Luo Xin felt nauseous when she thought of those disgusting insects.
As time passed, the shaking below became more and more intense. They even felt that their bodies were about to fly.
After the last strong shaking, the three of them stood up awkwardly. They couldn't lie down anymore.
However, the shaking became weaker and weaker. Soon, it disappeared.
"Is it over?" Luo Xin looked at the water in the distance and muttered to herself.
"Why don't we go and take a look?" Yingshao suggested.
"Don't go. If your young master doesn't come out, it will be very dangerous!" Elder Ye stopped them and said cautiously.
"How can it be dangerous? Young master has already …" Luo Xin opened her mouth and said. However, before she could finish her sentence, a huge wave of water burst out.
Suddenly, a huge wave exploded on the surface of the river in the distance. At the same time, a figure rushed up from below. He didn't even look at his surroundings before he rushed into the distance.
"He seems to be afraid of something. He looks like he's running away!" Yingshao pointed at the figure and said.
As soon as she finished speaking, a golden light suddenly rose from the water. A shining golden sword, carrying a boundless aura, chased after the figure. In the blink of an eye, it was already behind the figure.
The figure felt the sharp light behind him. He turned 180 degrees and took out a black shield.
A black light rose from the shield, making the black shield look even more majestic. In the blink of an eye, it blocked in front of him.
"Bang!"
In the next moment, the golden sword pierced the black shield. An extreme black light shone and blocked the golden sword's advance.
The figure sighed in relief. A black light appeared in his hand. Just as he was about to knock the golden sword away, he heard a crisp sound.
"Crack!"
At the edge of the shield, a crack appeared out of thin air. At the same time, the shield suddenly shook. A large amount of black fog crazily leaked out from the crack. At the same time, the width of the crack increased.
Along with the noise, the crack quickly spread to the center of the shield. The figure's face became very ugly.
Before he could take out anything else, the shield plate could no longer withstand the violent impact. With a final ear-piercing screech, it suddenly shattered into pieces and exploded in all four directions. Then, a golden light flashed and circled around the figure's head. After that, a head suddenly fell from above.
At the same time, the headless body fell from the sky. Before it landed, two flames rose in the sky and burned it to ashes. Not even a trace was left.
At this moment, another figure appeared on the surface of the water. Gu Zheng came out from the water.
He waved his hand and the golden sword automatically returned to his hand. With a flip of his hand, it disappeared.
"Let's go. The situation here is likely to attract some people's attention. We don't have much time." Gu Zheng said to them anxiously. Without waiting for their agreement, a green light shot out from his hand and covered all of them in a green barrier. Then, he pulled them toward him. All of them followed Gu Zheng and dived into the water surface.
Following the original path, they once again went downstream.
After entering from that place, Luo Xin looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. Many places were broken. The originally narrow place had become wider. Some of the broken walls were constantly flowing in the water. It seemed like a great battle had just happened.
After half an incense stick's time, they finally saw a circular gap. Luo Xin recognized it as the passage from before.
"Crash!"
The few of them gathered and rushed out of the water surface. They arrived at the passage that Luo Xin was in before.
But what made them even more surprised was that there were at least a dozen corpses lying around the cave. The entire cave was full of potholes. A large amount of blood almost covered the entire cave.
"Why are there so many corpses here!" Yingshao hid behind Luo Xin in fear and said with a trembling voice.
"One peak-level Gold Immortal, four late-stage Gold Immortals, seven mid-stage Gold Immortals and a few Heavenly Immortals were studying this passageway. Now, all of them are dead. This bought us a lot of time," Gu Zheng said nonchalantly.
"Hiss!"
Luo Xin and Elder Ye took a deep breath at the same time. From the time Gu Zheng entered the water to the time he came out, how much time had passed? All these people were killed by him. He was too violent.
"Wait a moment. I will open up this passage a little more. They helped us a lot!" Gu Zheng looked at the collapsed passage. These days, they had been digging in bit by bit, trying to reopen this passage.
But before that, Gu Zheng still had one more thing to do. Of course, it was not to clean up these corpses.
Arriving in front of the small hole, Gu Zheng stretched out a hand. A wisp of frost fell from his palm. Along with the continuous creaking sound, everything below was frozen into a huge piece of ice.
Ice.
Wisps of cold light flickered on it. It looked very sturdy.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng came to the passage. Looking at the broken wall in front of him, he took out a flying sword and began to dig bit by bit.
The stone wall was very hard. Even if Gu Zheng used all his strength, he could only scratch it bit by bit. It was useless to be anxious.
Originally, he had left an attack inside to help him open up this passage. But now, he could not sense it. Maybe it was damaged, or maybe it was broken by them. In short, he had to open it up manually. Fortunately, the other party had already opened more than half of the passage. Judging by his judgment, they were about to reach the place where he cut off.
On the other side, the three people found a clean place to sit down and waited quietly.
The smell of blood in the air constantly entered their nose, but they could only endure it. They could not hold their breath for long.
A day passed quickly. Behind Gu Zheng, there was already a calf-deep debris. One of Gu Zheng's weapons was abruptly worn out. Now, he was still concentrating on opening up the passage.
In order to speed up, Gu Zheng did not make it as spacious as before. He only let people in with half-bent waist. However, it also indirectly sped up the passage.
He did not expect that the other party would place so many people here. In the end, in order to kill the other party, the movement was not small. He estimated that there would be people coming to check soon.
Another day passed. Gu Zheng's heart relaxed. Because in a while, he could open up the passage. He could already sense the illusion he left behind.
"Bang"
In the whole cave, a tremor suddenly came, startling everyone.
"What's wrong?" Yingshao shouted in panic.
"Someone is attacking here. Now, they are attacking the defense left behind by Gu Zheng!" Elder Ye said calmly.
While he was speaking, another tremor was heard. But this time, everyone saw that the tremor was coming from the outside of the iceberg.
"Young Master Gu, the other party is coming. What should we do?" Yingshao said with some fear.
"It's okay. Before the other party breaks through, we will definitely be able to leave this place." Gu Zheng said to them confidently.
However, a trace of cold sweat had quietly appeared on his head. Through the ice mountain, he could sense that there were at least three Jin Xian peak experts outside. Now, they were taking turns to attack his defense.
He did not have much confidence in blocking the other party, but he still needed some time. This stone was really too hard.
However, he threw his hand back and a blue jade ring flew above the gap. A blue ray of light shot down from above and fell on the ice mountain below.
The originally strong tremors, after being supported by the jade ring, began to stabilize. At least, the tremors were not as strong as before.
However, Gu Zheng knew that the other party would not only attack one person every time. His hand movements quickened again.
After the other party tested the ice mountain several times, they found that it was harder than before. They immediately took a new measure. The three people began to attack almost at the same time. The violent tremors caused the cave to tremble. It felt as if the cave would collapse in the next moment.
Now, even Elder Ye's expression was somewhat dignified.
"You guys come over quickly. In a while, directly walk in front." Gu Zheng quickly shouted. Because at this time, he was able to contact the hidden hand he left behind. This made him overjoyed.
The three people immediately stood behind Gu Zheng. Their eyes looked behind them from time to time.
As the other party's attacks intensified, the jade ring's repair obviously could not hold up. In just a few breaths of time, the temporary defense set up by Gu Zheng was now showing traces of cracks on the surface. Moreover, the cracks were rapidly expanding. It could break at any time.
"Boom"
A slight sound came from the front. A passage suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Quick, quick! Quickly go in. I will block them for a while. "
Elder Ye did not hesitate. He bent his waist and directly walked in. Yingshao followed closely behind. Finally, Luo Xin entered.
After they entered, Gu Zheng looked around. The mirror appeared at the entrance of the passage.
Gu Zheng pointed to the side of the void a few times. At the same time, the mirror behind him flashed and disappeared from the air.
Not far from him, a passage that was almost opened appeared.
Following which, Gu Zheng glanced at the nearby corpses. A few of the relatively intact corpses disappeared from the ground, transforming into three figures that appeared in a corner. However, aside from Elder Ye, the other two weren't Yingshao and the others. They were very ordinary strangers.
