A day later, Gu Zheng looked at the dark clouds in the distance and the countless trees below. He stood there silently.
In the sky, countless birds spread their wings that were hundreds of feet long and fluttered in the air, dodging the bolts of lightning that were no smaller than them. If they were not careful, they would be annihilated into ashes, and if they were not careful, they would be seriously injured. In just half an hour, dozens of Gold Immortals had died under the lightning.
At the same time, small figures on the ground wielded all kinds of weapons and engaged in a tough battle with the other party.
In the Black Forest below, it was not completely dark. On the Black Forest, there were black balls the size of a human head. Every time they left the branches, the cries of babies could be heard in the air. When they hit the attacking Goblin below, they would turn into gusts of cold wind and cut the other party into minced meat.
Tens of thousands of people were fighting in the vast Black Forest and in the air.
In the center of the Black Forest, there were four huge fortresses that were like iron walls. Not only did they block their way, but they were also the core of the array formation on the ground.
Not only that, but there was also a fierce battle on the lake in the distance. Bright fireworks constantly rose from the sky.
Even from such a distance, one could feel the fiery aura of the battle in the air.
At this moment, Gu Zheng was not restrained. He stood on a mountain peak and could see everything below. However, he did not run away. Not far from him, there was a woman beside him.
That woman's gaze was fixed in front of her. From time to time, she would glance at Gu Zheng who was beside her.
However, Gu Zheng did not think that he had attracted her and made her look at him differently. From her gaze, he could not feel a trace of joy. Instead, there was some sadness in it.
Gu Zheng stood there in a daze and looked down.
Half a day later, with a loud sound of a drum, the attacking Goblin retreated.
As the battle below ended, the sky and the ground calmed down again.
"Say, everything here seemed to be going smoothly. We also found a flaw. Our strength is twice that of the other party, but why did we fail?"
A gust of wind blew past, causing the woman's hair to flutter. At this moment, she asked Gu Zheng in a baffled manner.
"How are you saying that you have failed? We seem to be the ones who have failed. We are the weakest existences here." Gu Zheng couldn't understand what the other party was trying to say, so he could only go along with the other party's words.
"Then tell me, why did I die? Why is she still alive when they died? Why?" The woman's eyes were as sharp as knives as she looked over, and a series of questions popped out. Gu Zheng didn't dare to look into her eyes, and he didn't understand what she meant.
Feeling the prickles in his body, Gu Zheng didn't know why she suddenly said that.
"Aren't you standing right here? Who can kill you?" Gu Zheng braced himself and said.
"Really? What did she say? " The woman coldly laughed and stretched out her hand toward Gu Zheng. She suddenly pulled, and Gu Zheng felt a sharp pain in his shoulder as a transparent soul was pulled out.
"What are you doing?!" Gu Zheng's body flashed with a golden light as he raised his guard. The Magistrate Brush instantly appeared in his hand. He didn't have many things that could harm the other party. They were either damaged or he couldn't take them out.
"What are you still worried about her for? What's the difference between her current situation and death?" The woman said mockingly. At this moment, a faint aura of despair appeared on her body.
At this moment, a transparent shadow of Purple Robe stopped in the air. It was now revealed to be her true body.
On half of her outer shell, a layer of purple patterns constantly flickered. There was no problem at all. Gu Zheng didn't believe it at all.
"Did the other party tell you that she wants to fall into a deep sleep? She needs to break through her current bottleneck, and then her entire body will merge with your blood. You can even use this opportunity to transform your soul into her aura. Let me tell you, in this place, other than me, no one can see through your tricks."
The woman waved her hand and a smooth stool appeared beside her. She looked at Gu Zheng's disbelieving eyes and sat down. Then she coldly snorted and said, "That's right.
This time, Gu Zheng's expression changed. How did the other party guess it so accurately?
"Perhaps you don't know, but she has always had internal injuries. However, she used a very tyrannical method to suppress them. If my guess is correct, she usually uses all kinds of lightning energy. On one hand, she uses it to raise her cultivation base. On the other hand, she uses it to suppress her injuries. Don't you feel that her strength is usually a bit weak?" The woman said confidently, but there was still a faint trace of worry in her eyes.
"Just who are you? How do you know all this? "Gu Zheng's expression became serious as he asked in disbelief.
"Who am I? Look at this. " The woman raised her hand, and a purple earring-like accessory appeared in the air. It looked very exquisite, and at the bottom of the earring hung two eyeball-sized purple pearls. Faint purple mist constantly sprayed out from the pearls.
"Kacha!"
While Gu Zheng was carefully observing, one of the purple pearls flashed, and a purple lightning fox suddenly pierced through the air from above, arriving in front of Gu Zheng and disappearing.
Gu Zheng was startled, but he felt a trace of familiarity from it.
"This is my magic treasure. I refined one of the earrings on that little girl's body. That's why I don't need to sense it to know her existence."
Gu Zheng extended his hand. Traces of purple lightning condensed in his hand. When the lightning appeared in Gu Zheng's hand, it also began to sway.
Gu Zheng took two steps forward. Seeing that the woman beside him didn't have any reaction, it was as if she had already known all of this. Feeling the earring in front of him, that familiar feeling, Gu Zheng's heart shook. The earring streaked through the air and landed in his hand.
Following that, the earring exploded into a ball of purple mist and faintly disappeared.
"What's going on? What did you want to say to me? " Gu Zheng didn't think that she wanted to talk about old times with him because of Zi Yi. It had to be known that when Zi Yi was born, she had already died.
The woman glanced at Gu Zheng and took out a crystal-like glass ball in her hand. Following the blossoming of rainbow-colored light, a colorful barrier enveloped them.
"Take me away, take me away from here. I can feel that my future has already fallen into a state of near death, but there's still hope. Take me away from this illusion. I can't die here."
Her words completely stunned Gu Zheng. There was actually someone in the illusion who had seen through it and wanted to break out of it and return to reality.
This was too terrifying. How did she know that this was just a virtual illusion? How did she know that he was just a chess piece?
"Impossible, you're already dead. I haven't heard anything about you." Gu Zheng flatly refused. He still didn't know how to leave. Was it so easy for this world to just watch him take her away?
"I'm not completely dead. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sense my future from you and know where I am now. I'm afraid that something I left behind in the past was completely replicated in this world by someone with great power. Otherwise, do you think you can live until now?" The woman's mouth revealed a trace of a cold smile.
"I saw my future. We won. We entered the place where the Black Dragon fell, but I'm dead. However, I'm not completely dead. My body is still there, and she …" The woman pointed at Zi Yi's soul. "She went in once and definitely found me. Then, she obtained my item and used it to save her life. Once I die in the future, she will definitely die as well. This little girl has already failed to advance. Only her last remnant soul is relying on your power to survive. If you continue to wait, she won't wake up even if you die. Take me out, I will be responsible for helping her survive this life and death tribulation."
"Failed!"
Gu Zheng looked at Zi Yi's soul and said in disbelief.
"I remember that she clearly told me that she would definitely be able to pass this time. How is that possible?"
"How is that possible? She definitely couldn't suppress her injuries. If she forced herself to advance, there might still be a glimmer of hope. If her injuries relapse, then she'll really be dead. No one can save her. "The woman stood up. Even if she was asking for help, she still had her own pride.
Gu Zheng's expression changed. Zi Yi didn't tell him the truth at all. After he took her clam pearl, she kept getting injured. No wonder she didn't appear in the battle after that.
However, if it wasn't the final battle, she might have been able to hold on for a while.
Gu Zheng's expression kept changing. Thinking of Zi Yi's sacrifice for him, even if they hadn't known each other for long, he still wanted to help her.
"What do you think we should do? I still don't know how to get out. Plus, there are still two days left. If I can't get out, then I'll probably die here." Gu Zheng said with a determined expression.
If you want to go back now, there's no other way. I can only appear at the crucial moment. Otherwise, I'll die the next moment. I'll send you back first. I'll hide in her body, but I'll also fall into a deep sleep. After all, I'm just a person from this place. Once I want to go back and get that glimmer of hope, I'll have to synchronize with my future self. So, everything depends on you. "
A trace of excitement flashed in the woman's eyes. This was her last chance. When she saw Gu Zheng, she understood everything.
When this world was destroyed, it would also be the time of her future self's death. Only by escaping could she continue to delay her life and grab that glimmer of hope.
She looked at Gu Zheng and nodded. After understanding what she meant, the earring in the air suddenly exploded and turned into a purple mist that surrounded Zi Yi.
"Don't be nervous. This thing will break sooner or later. Now, I'll use my greatest strength to do something for her." Before Gu Zheng could say anything, she immediately explained.
She knew that Gu Zheng cared about her.
When the purple mist completely entered Zi Yi's body, her somewhat illusory body became somewhat real.
"How should I call you?" Gu Zheng thought for a moment and asked for her name.
"Just call me Ren Xue!" Ren Xue said while biting her teeth.
Facing this fake name, Gu Zheng didn't pursue it.
Ren Xue waved her palm again and sent Zi Yi to Gu Zheng's shoulder.
"Let's go while there's still some time."
The colorful barrier outside disappeared. Ren Xue grabbed Gu Zheng's shoulder and quickly brought him to another place.
Big Luo's speed was very fast. Even though they went one round, they had already gone around the black forest in half a day. When they were close to this place, she put Gu Zheng down.
"Next, you have to go by yourself. I'll be waiting for your news outside. Take this. If there's an emergency, don't hesitate. As long as I'm still alive, I can immediately attach myself to Zi Yi's body."
Ren Xue gestured to the bell in her hand. Gu Zheng understood what she meant. She was probably attached to Zi Yi's body now.
Even at this moment, Gu Zheng couldn't completely trust her. However, Zi Yi did have a treasure on her that was exactly the same as her earring. He was sure of this, so he believed half of what she said.
He could also feel the closeness and could control the earring. Even the purple aura inside it was the same.
The other party wanted to go out and pick up his dying body. He also wanted Zi Yi to wake up again.
Moreover, his life was in the other party's hands. If he didn't agree, he would be dead anyway. He had no other choice.
While thinking, Gu Zheng rushed in his direction. Every now and then, he would meet people here. After seeing the badge on Gu Zheng's chest, they didn't stop him.
Half a day later, Gu Zheng finally returned to the village after rushing with all his might. He was afraid that he would have to move again.
At this moment, the village was bustling with people. Many ordinary people were retreating with big and small bags. The entire village was obviously anxious.
When Gu Zheng entered the village again, the guards outside were gone. However, when Gu Zheng entered and saw the person who was packing, he heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the other party hadn't left yet.
When Gu Zheng came in, that person also saw Gu Zheng and was very happy as he spoke.
"I already heard that the place was destroyed. You are really amazing."
"I was just lucky. However, I want to work for everyone more. Can you help me change my identity?" Gu Zheng couldn't wait to ask.
"I'm sorry. Those things have been taken away. You will have to wait until the next defense point to change your identity," the person said regretfully.
"Okay. I'm a little disappointed," Gu Zheng said disappointedly. His face was full of unwillingness.
The person thought for a moment and took out a very ordinary wooden token. He walked over and handed it to Gu Zheng. "How about this? I have a temporary identity token here. Although you can't participate in the core meeting, you can bring your family to a central position. This way, if there is danger, it will be very safe."
"This is only given to people who have made great contributions. I hope it can help you."
"Thank you! I need to contribute to everyone. "Gu Zheng said gratefully. He didn't expect the other party to have something like this.
"You should hurry up and gather. We are also leaving this place," the person said and began to pack his things.
Gu Zheng quickly walked out and walked towards the courtyard. He didn't know if Yingshao and the others were worried about him during the two days that he didn't come.
When he opened the door, the profiteer was long gone. There was no one in the courtyard. The whole courtyard was in a mess, as if someone had rushed in to plunder.
As he cursed, he quickly ran towards the back, hoping that they were fine.
Just as he arrived at the backyard, he saw Yingshao, Luo Xin, and a beautiful young woman walking out of a room.
"Young master, you are back. I was so worried!" When Yingshao saw Gu Zheng, she rushed over with tears in her eyes.
"Alright, alright. I had some matters to attend to and was delayed for a long time. I'm late." Gu Zheng hurriedly said when he saw Yingshao jump into his embrace.
"Young master, this is a kind sister. If she didn't help us just now, we would have been bullied by others." Luo Xin said from the side.
"Thank you for your help, friend. I am very grateful!" Gu Zheng also thanked her.
"I just happened to pass by. Some people usually look good, but when things get chaotic, there will always be people who do unforgivable things. I can't just ignore them." The young woman smiled.
"Young master, this sister wants us to leave with them. Let's go together! It is very safe there. "Yingshao raised her head and said.
"We still have things to do, so we have to stay." Gu Zheng said to Yingshao.
He knew that the previous incident had frightened her, so it was inevitable that she would want to leave.
"Young master, I beg you. I was so scared. I was so worried about you. Let's go with this sister!" Yingshao's face was scrunched up, revealing a pleading look.
"Young master, we will directly retreat to the Land of Legacy. I also can't bear to see them suffer. I think for their safety, we should leave together." The young woman also persuaded.
"Forget it. Trust me, we will definitely be able to return! It will be very safe. "Gu Zheng looked at Yingshao and said. At the same time, he waved at Luo Xin.
"Come over quickly. Let's go!"
However, just as he finished speaking, a cold wind suddenly blew through the sky. Large black clouds appeared out of nowhere and stopped in the sky. The originally clear sky became somewhat gloomy.
"Boom!"
A huge tremor sounded in the distance. The entire ground shook incessantly. At the same time, screams could be heard from outside. It was from the civilians who had not left yet.
At the same time, a trembling aura swept through the air, causing Gu Zheng's expression to change.
That was the aura of an even stronger expert.
"Whoosh!
Whoosh! "Different people flew up from all over the place and flew towards the center.
"Let's go quickly!" Gu Zheng quickly said to them.
"No, young master. I don't want you to die. Come with sister!" Yingshao was also frightened by that aura. Her face was pale as she said to Gu Zheng.
At the same time, his body trembled and ran towards the young woman. Along the way, he pulled Luo Xin along.
"Boom!"
Before Gu Zheng could make a move, another tremor sounded in the distance. At the same time, the black clouds in the sky suddenly lit up. Everyone was plunged into darkness. Even Gu Zheng was no different.
"Young master, come to the mountain behind and look for us. Hurry, there is still time!"
After a few breaths of time, Yingshao's shout sounded in his ear. Then, a powerful light rose in the distance. The black clouds in the sky were dispelled once again. The sky returned to its original state. It was as if the black clouds were just an illusion.
However, the young woman and Yingshao in front of him were nowhere to be seen. They disappeared right under his nose.
Just as Gu Zheng was about to chase after them, a blue feather appeared in front of him. That familiar feeling made Gu Zheng subconsciously catch it. A somewhat choked voice sounded in his ear.
"Young master, wake up. I am so scared!"
