"Uncle, why are you looking for me?"
When Gu Zheng saw that Xing Ba was the only one in the tent, he sat down and asked.
"Yes, I have something to tell you," Xing Ba said to Gu Zheng as he put away the green bead in his hand.
"If I'm not wrong, it's about time for the Immortal Mansion to descend. I'll definitely bring some people over, so I want to leave everything here to you."
"Uncle, you're going to take the Immortal Mansion?!" Gu Zheng was shocked and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I need to go in and take something. If I succeed, all of us humans will be able to leave this damned place." Xing Ba's expression didn't change at all. This was something he had decided on long ago.
"So, I want you to stay here and help me look after these humans. If you want something inside, I'll bring it to you. What do you think?"
From their previous conversation, Xing Ba understood that Gu Zheng wanted to go in as well.
Gu Zheng didn't expect this. After pondering for a moment, Gu Zheng spoke.
"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to stay here, but I need to go in and find something to save my friend's life. If I don't go personally, you won't be able to find her at all. So, I have to make a trip."
Gu Zheng tactfully refused because this thing couldn't be left to others. He had to make a trip himself.
He knew for sure that Ren Xue was in one of the places, hanging half-dead. Unless he didn't save Zi Yi, there was no other way.
Especially Zi Yi. He didn't know why she woke up early and forced herself to appear, scaring away the Qi family's patriarch. Otherwise, he wouldn't have a good idea.
After hearing this, Xing Ba didn't directly refuse. After pondering for a moment, he said, "If that's the case, then let's go together.
"If that's the case, then let's go together. We can take care of each other. You have to know that it's not just us. Almost all the Demon Clans on both sides have brought their absolute elites. Moreover, it's definitely very dangerous inside. I'm sure that all the restrictions inside have been opened."
This time, Gu Zheng did not refuse. However, no matter what, there were plenty of traps and mechanisms inside. Not to mention, there were also powerful enemies who would compete with you for items.
"I have already been to Black Dragon City. The City Lord has already left with his elites. We will rest here for a few days before continuing our journey. When the time comes, I will choose a group of people to enter with me," Starlord immediately said when he saw that Gu Zheng had agreed.
Because of his relationship with Xing Cai, Xing Ba didn't have much of a guard against Gu Zheng and told him everything he could.
"By the way, I have something to tell you." The two of them talked for a while and introduced the strength of the enemies around them. Gu Zheng suddenly remembered Yingshao's discovery and immediately told Starlord about it.
"You're saying that there's something wrong with Elder Ye?" Xing Ba looked at Gu Zheng in disbelief.
"I don't know either, but the only thing I'm sure of is that if I hide it, she can see through me. You'll know when you ask her later." Gu Zheng didn't say anything definite.
"Okay, I'll take note of it." Xing Ba nodded with a gloomy face.
If it was really Elder Ye, then everything was possible. Some of the suspicious points made sense. More importantly, the other party had stayed with the Demon Clan for so long. It was not impossible that he had been affected by some sinister methods to change his body.
Gu Zheng nodded and left the tent. As for how to ask about what happened next, he didn't need to ask.
Ten days later, Gu Zheng left his camp. He had already arranged everything. Everyone would stay here, including Yingshao, Little Ye, and the others.
If it was dangerous, he wouldn't bring them along no matter what.
After leaving the group, Gu Zheng flew for another half a day before arriving at a forest. Looking at the silent forest below, a golden light flashed in his eyes and he rushed down.
In mid-air, a transparent ripple flashed, and Gu Zheng's figure disappeared from the sky.
Gu Zheng came down. This was the place where Xing Ba told him to gather. It was just a temporary gathering point with a simple layer of disguise on the outside.
When he arrived, Gu Zheng was slightly surprised. There were many people in the middle, but they were basically experts from other villages. There were nearly ten people, but other than familiar faces, he didn't recognize anyone else.
However, when he saw Xing Cai, he was shocked. Didn't she say she wouldn't come? Why did she come with him?
Xing Cai smiled at Gu Zheng. She raised her hand and showed Gu Zheng the orb in her hand, indicating that she wasn't completely powerless.
However, Gu Zheng didn't recognize them, but they recognized Gu Zheng, Xing Ba's son-in-law. Even if they didn't know, they could tell who had come just by looking at Xing Cai's eyes. Not to mention, other than him, everyone else had gathered.
At this moment, everyone looked at Gu Zheng with a smile, expressing their goodwill.
Gu Zheng immediately cupped his hands and apologized as soon as he came up, "I was delayed in the camp. I've made everyone wait for a long time!"
Everyone present, except for Xing Cai, was at least at the peak of Jin Xian's cultivation. There were even a few who posed a great threat to Gu Zheng. Their strength couldn't be underestimated.
"It's okay, we don't lack time now. We can also make some preparations." One of them was a beautiful young woman in her forties. She wore a beautiful palace dress and smiled at Gu Zheng.
At this time, Xing Ba stepped forward and said to the young woman, "Alright, I know you're giving him a way out. This is Xing Cai's fiance, my son-in-law. Everyone should know him."
The young woman immediately replied as soon as Xing Ba finished speaking, "He bravely barged into the sacrificial grounds alone and rescued Miss Cai 'er. Then, he was able to see through the Goblin's spy here. We've heard his name so many times that we've grown tired of hearing it. I didn't expect him to be so handsome in real life. He really is a heroic young man."
"Yeah, Xing Ba 'er is really lucky. He's much better than that reckless Hei Kun." An old man wearing a yellow robe said.
"Just the fact that he went to save Miss Xing Cai is enough." In another direction, a person also praised, selectively forgetting that even if Hei Kun went to save her, he wouldn't be able to go to the human camp.
Everyone praised one after another, causing Xing Cai to lower her head and pretend to be embarrassed. If it wasn't for the fact that Gu Zheng wasn't her type, she might have really been moved.
However, she still had to let Gu Zheng suffer for a while. After this matter was over, she would find a reason and leave this place. At that time, she would confess to her father.
The smile on Xing Ba's face grew bigger and bigger. However, seeing that everyone was a little overboard, he coughed lightly and interrupted them. Then, he said to Gu Zheng.
"Let me introduce you. This is the village chief of Yongqing Village, Rong Yiqing. The two behind him are their elders. They are Elder Yongyun and Elder Lu Lan."
"Greetings to the three elders!" Gu Zheng tactfully said.
"These few people are …" Xing Ba turned around and introduced them to the other three people. They were all wearing red robes with lifelike phoenixes imprinted on their chests. Their bodies were full of fire Qi. It was obvious that they cultivated the same cultivation technique.
However, they were the ones who were the most flattering.
After a round of introductions, everyone got to know each other thoroughly.
"Didn't you say that you wouldn't come? Why are you here again? " At this moment, Gu Zheng came to Xing Cai's side. Seeing that Xing Ba was discussing some details with her, he quietly asked.
"I feel that with my father around, there shouldn't be a problem in terms of safety. Don't you know how many things are inside? Last time, because there were enemies everywhere, we didn't take many things. Just this alone is enough to make people jealous. "Xing Cai also whispered.
"Are there really a lot of things inside?" Until now, Gu Zheng still didn't believe that there were many things inside.
"Let me put it this way. All the wealth of a Quasi-Sage, countless spiritual treasures and rare items. Everyone said that there is a treasure inside. There are also a few types of pills that are out of print. The Scarlet Soul Pill that helped Jin Xian break through to the peak. There is also the Blood Infant Pill that is known as the strongest Jin Xian. It can allow a Jin Xian to possess the strength of a Grand Heavenly Realm temporarily. There is also the even stronger Heaven Mending Pill. Even my father is full of praises for some of them. Do you think it is worth it?" Xing Cai slowly said.
Gu Zheng felt that it was worth the risk. However, Gu Zheng was a little moved.
A complete immortal abode left behind by a Quasi-Sage. Even if a part of it was lost, it was enough to make people go crazy. No wonder so many people came over. It was just that he didn't know who leaked it out.
"It is indeed very tempting."
After staying here for three days, the group was ready to leave and head to the entrance of the Human Territory.
There was an entrance on the Human Territory and the Goblin Territory. However, it didn't mean that only Humans could pass through here and only Goblins could pass through there. In fact, both sides could pass through. It was just that the entrance was different.
However, not everyone could enter from the entrance. Only those with special items could enter from the entrance. If they didn't, they could only enter from the middle.
The green bead in Xing Ba's hand was a key. Of course, it was the lowest grade key.
According to Xing Ba, the Goblin Territory had a blue key that could enter the middle. This was also the key that they could take out.
As for the Black Dragon City, there must be a higher grade key that could directly avoid the outer region. One had to know that the deeper one went, the higher the chance of finding something good.
The group of people flew north at an extremely fast speed. However, after just one day, Startyrant stopped.
"What's going on?" Gu Zheng looked ahead and didn't find anything abnormal.
"Some people who can't see the light want to reduce some of their competitors outside?" Xing Ba snorted. He stretched out his hand and countless black gas came out from his fingertips.
In front of them, there seemed to be no problem. However, as the black gas rushed over, balls of green light kept flashing in the sky. A series of firecrackers sounded in the sky.
Someone actually set a trap here. The method was so high that even Gu Zheng didn't notice it.
When the green light dissipated, the person behind the scene didn't come out. Even if they saw Xing Ba leading the group, they didn't dare to come out.
Rong Yiqing stepped forward and said to Xing Ba, "Patriarch Xing, why don't you sit on my spirit boat? Not only is it faster, but it can also avoid these mortal trash and reduce everyone's energy consumption. What do you think?"
"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Xing Ba didn't object and directly removed the defensive barrier around them.
Rong Yiqing took a step forward and waved her wide sleeves. A green stream of light flew out at an extremely fast speed and rushed into the air before suddenly exploding. A spirit boat surrounded by green astral winds appeared in the air. Ancient and profound runes were engraved on the transparent body of the boat. Streaks of green light continuously flowed along some kind of trajectory on the boat. The flowing light dazzled and attracted everyone's attention.
The spirit boat was over a hundred feet long and was big enough for everyone to enter.
"I believe everyone knows about it. I won't introduce it. Come in and take a rest." Rong Yiqing smiled and gestured for everyone to enter. At the same time, a green staircase went down from the spirit boat and stopped in front of everyone.
"Then I'll have to trouble Patriarch Rong." Xing Ba chuckled and didn't hesitate to walk up the stairs. His body flashed with a green light and he slid towards the spirit boat. When he entered the spirit boat, his body suddenly disappeared.
When Gu Zheng saw this, his heart stirred. There was a completely different world inside. Furthermore, the spirit boat was floating in the air. Even in front of him, it looked like a cool breeze was flowing in the air. It looked like it was extremely hidden.
As everyone went in, it was Gu Zheng and Xing Cai's turn. They were quickly sent into the spirit boat.
Outside, Rong Yiqing formed a seal and the spirit boat flew into the air. When it reached a high altitude, the surrounding astral winds slowly became transparent as if they had turned into a gust of wind. The originally faint aura had completely disappeared.
Gu Zheng, who was sitting inside, felt like he was flying in the sky. He could clearly see the scenery outside. It was truly a mystical treasure.
After Rong Yiqing came up from below, spiritual light flashed from the spirit boat and it suddenly sped forward.
"Senior Rong, this spirit boat of yours is indeed extraordinary. Moreover, I can sense the increase in the density of the spiritual energy inside. It's truly an extraordinary treasure." Gu Zheng immediately praised.
"Young Master Gu is too kind. This spirit boat is good for concealment. Perhaps there are even more powerful treasures in the Black Dragon Immortal Mansion. At that time, it might not even catch your eye." Rong Yiqing smiled, but she didn't stop making hand seals. She needed someone to control it.
Gu Zheng smiled. He got up and walked to the front. He looked at the surrounding clouds receding rapidly. This feeling was completely different from flying by himself.
In the sky, the spirit boat quickly moved forward. If one didn't look outside, they wouldn't feel the boat shaking at all. It was as if it was on flat ground.
In the sky, Gu Zheng even saw Jin Xian, a peak unaffiliated cultivator. Looking at the direction he was going, he should be heading toward the light pillar. When the spirit boat passed by him, he didn't react at all. He didn't notice the spirit boat passing by.
It could be seen that Rong Yiqing's control of the spirit boat was superb.
After watching for a while longer, Gu Zheng also felt bored and retreated. However, when he saw that she had already swallowed a pill, he knew that the spirit boat's consumption was not small. However, the spirit boat's speed was also very fast, so it was worth it to use it to escape.
Only five days later, they came down from the spirit boat and found a place to spend the night on the ground. Clan Leader Rong needed to rest for a night.
However, they had already traveled half the distance. It could be seen how fast the spirit boat was.
After another seven days, they arrived at the outer mountain range. At this time, Rong Yiqing also put away the spirit boat.
"There are disturbances inside that will greatly reduce the speed of the spirit boat. Why don't we fly over? Anyway, it's not far from here."
"We've already tired Clan Leader Rong so much to be able to arrive so quickly. It just so happens that we also need to stretch our muscles. Leave everything to us!" Xing Ba smiled and said to Rong Yiqing.
"I remember that we can't fly in front. I don't know what's the exact situation now." Gu Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still said it.
"There won't be any problems. The descent of the immortal mansion will cause all the mechanisms here to malfunction. Therefore, we won't encounter any obstacles along the way. There's no need to worry." Xing Ba explained.
Gu Zheng walked into the mountain range tentatively. He realized that the gray fog had completely disappeared. He slowly flew up. Indeed, it was as Xing Ba said. All the restrictions were gone.
The group of people flew up and flew towards the huge blue pillar in front of them.
When they crossed the mountain range, the dark clouds in the sky and the Yin wind in the black forest were all gone. Even the scenery in the distance was calm.
The group of people quickly rushed forward. They passed by the Illusionary Demon Mirror that sucked Gu Zheng in and the endless desert. Finally, they arrived in front of the blue pillar.
Layers of dense blue fog were slowly rotating below. From time to time, there would be flashes of golden light. At the same time, a terrifying aura was constantly emitted from within.
Behind the blue pillar, there was a solid blue circular passage. It curved and slanted all the way to the back. They couldn't see where it extended to.
Below the blue pillar, there were nearly twenty people dressed in black robes. They were all kneeling on the ground. From time to time, they would raise their hands and kneel in front of the pillar while muttering something.
At the front, there was a figure in a black robe. At this moment, he was waving a black staff in his hand. Spots of black light fell from the staff into the vortex.
When Xing Ba's group came out, these people in black robes looked up and saw them. They all stood up and glared at them with angry expressions.
The other side also looked at the other side, not to be outdone. Most of the people in black robes weren't very strong. If they fought, they would definitely teach the other side a lesson. However, without Xing Ba's permission, no one made a move.
"You guys came quite early. I just didn't expect you guys to get involved in this mess." The dark leader slowly put away his staff, turned around, and said to Xing Ba. It was as if he didn't see the hostile scene at all.
"You're the leader of the dark ones?" Xing Ba carefully looked at the other party, trying to see through the other party's appearance. However, the other party's face was hidden in the wide black robe. There was no way to see the other party's appearance.
However, judging from the voice, the other party was a man. Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that the other party had deliberately changed his voice.
"Don't ask me who I am. That's not important. However, you are the descendants of those people. You can rest assured that we won't deliberately stop you. After all, your ancestors have shed blood and sweat. We have seen it all. The only thing you can hope for is that you don't fall into the trap we have prepared. Everything else will depend on your luck. After all, you deserve it."
Contrary to their expectations, the leader of the dark ones didn't seem to dislike them.
Gu Zheng thought of the ancestors of the Human Race who fought to the death. The majority of Xing Ba's bloodline was the descendants of those people. It could be considered the protection of their ancestors.
