Xing Ba looked at the empty tunnel behind him with an uncertain expression on his face.
Because the tunnel wasn't a straight line, it was basically crooked. It was almost impossible to see the front and back.
However, Xing Ba's anger was so great that he could no longer suppress it. A ball of black flame appeared in his hand, and he threw it behind him.
"Boom boom boom!"
A series of explosions sounded in the tunnel, causing the blue tunnel to tremble violently.
"Damn it!" Lady Half Dream, who was at the front, had yet to rush in. Seeing the blue tunnel flickering, she cursed. However, that was all, she couldn't do anything.
The only thing that made her feel gratified was that although the tunnel was flickering frighteningly, it was actually very tough. Without a peak Grand Heavenly Realm's full strength, it wouldn't be broken.
However, the shaking of the passage caused them to lose their precise positioning. Moreover, the sudden tremors caused many people to be unable to react in time. Their bodies tilted, and when they hit the blue wall again, their bodies flashed and they were directly thrown down.
As for where they appeared, the only thing that was certain was that they would appear in the immortal estate. However, the location was really random.
They could land in an empty space, or they could land in a trap. Of course, they could also land outside the core. In short, it all depended on luck.
Following Xing Ba's crazy attacks, other than the few people behind him who were prepared, only another village disappeared. Most of the people in the tunnel were thrown out, even Qi Yun was no exception.
As for the relatively large groups of loose cultivators, they had yet to enter. Some people looked at the old woman with admiration. She was the one who told them not to enter. Of course, this caused many people to be unhappy. However, they didn't dare to say anything due to her pressure.
At this moment, a series of attacks came. They didn't feel that waiting for a while longer would take them. This made the old woman smile.
"Alright, you, you, and you, follow me later. As for the others, you can do whatever you want." The old woman took out a green pearl and said to the few people in front of her.
These people were the ones who chose to believe in her, so she chose them first.
"One green pearl can only bring twelve people. Therefore, I have another one with me. You can decide for yourselves." The old woman flipped her wrist, and another green pearl was taken out. She threw it far away.
Some of the more quick-witted people immediately rushed far away, trying to snatch the initiative.
"What if we don't have the Azure Pearl?" A few people didn't believe it and asked the old woman.
"If you don't have it, you can only walk in the middle. Although it's a bit difficult, with your strength, you should be able to enter. If you don't have the green pearl to protect you, you will be torn apart by the spatial energy if you walk through the tunnel. It's best to be careful." The old woman glanced at them indifferently. How could she not know what they were thinking?
Because there was only one extra green pearl, but there were still close to twenty people. No matter what, there would be six or seven more people who would not be able to enter. As for whether they believed her or not, she did not care.
"Go!"
At this time, the tremors of the tunnel had completely disappeared. The old woman took those who trusted her and disappeared from the tunnel.
On the other hand, the people outside actually started fighting with each other in order to snatch the Azure Pearl.
After a while of chaotic fighting, a few temporary teams managed to snatch it. After quickly assembling a few strong members, they also rushed into the blue channel.
Only the defeated ones remained standing outside, looking at each other in dismay.
"Forget it, I'll just charge through the middle!" One of the people who fought for it looked for a while and said. Then, without waiting for the others to react, he directly rushed into the sky and left.
Although he suffered some light injuries in the fight, it was not to the extent that he had to return home.
One had to know that in theory, this was the first time the immortal mansion had opened. It was the first time that most people had entered, so the rewards would definitely be plentiful. It was definitely worth the risk.
After he left, a few people scattered around also left. Some chose to return home, while others chose to continue rushing, wanting to find their own opportunities.
In the end, only two brothers remained.
"Big Brother, what should we do? I think we should go to the middle. As long as we push a little, we should be able to pass. "One of them, who looked slightly younger, said.
"I think that old woman is just saying alarmist words to scare us. Why can't we go through this tunnel? She's deliberately scaring us." The older brother looked at the tunnel in front of him and said somewhat unwillingly.
"Is that so? Why don't we give it a try? "The younger man was somewhat moved and made a suggestion.
"I think it's fine. Maybe we can even find a good place. It's best if it's the location of the Scarlet Soul Pill. That would be the best." The older brother had the same idea and could not help but fantasize.
The two of them hit it off and rushed in, one in front and one behind.
It was not that they were not careful enough, but that they had secretly heard a lot of information before. They knew that this tunnel was for people to use, to let people go to different places. And these pearls only appeared after the fall of the Black Dragon. In the past, there was no need for them at all, so they were hoping for a fluke.
"I knew that the other party was deliberately scaring us. Look, we're not completely fine." The older brother, who was sitting in front, looked at the scenery on both sides of the tunnel and said loudly to the people behind him. At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Only the younger man, who was following behind, also had the nervous look on his face disappear, and was replaced with an excited look. Hearing the older brother's words, he could not help but nod his head. He felt that those people outside were really stupid. They were about to enter the immortal mansion. This time, they would definitely gain a lot.
Suddenly, the older brother, who was joking in front, exploded into a cloud of blood mist. Before he could react, he lost consciousness.
After another cloud of blood mist exploded in the air, a cloud of mist wandered over, and the blood mist quickly dissipated.
And in front of them was the boundary of the immortal mansion. Without the protection of the pearls, they could not enter at all. They would be torn into pieces by the space that connected to it.
This was because they had forgotten that the restrictions inside were all activated. It was completely different from before. If they were not careful enough, they would lose their lives.
.....
"Buzz, buzz!"
Gu Zheng felt dizzy, as if countless bees were buzzing around his ears. Although he tried his best to chase the other party away, his body was indeed limp and weak. There was an indescribable soreness all over his body. Every bone in his body was screaming, and every inch of his muscles was being torn apart. He could not wait to faint again.
Especially on his chest. It was as if a huge rock was pressing on it, and he felt that his breathing was not smooth.
Gu Zheng was like a drowning person. He wanted to rush out of the water, but he realized that he was powerless. He could only watch as he continued to sink.
"Young Master Gu, Young Master Gu, wake up!"
A familiar voice rang in Gu Zheng's ears. At the same time, it was as if a rope had fallen from above. Gu Zheng quickly grabbed it and rushed out.
"Huff, huff!"
Gu Zheng finally woke up from that nightmare. The exhaustion in his body was like a tide that poured into his head. He was still a bit dizzy, so he did not get up. Instead, he began to circulate his magic power.
As time passed, in just half a cup of tea's time, his body had already recovered. Fortunately, they were all external injuries, and there were no internal injuries.
The whistling of the wind once again entered his ears. It turned out that the sound of the bees was the whistling of the wind everywhere.
Huge snowflakes were constantly falling from the sky, causing Gu Zheng, who had just opened his eyes, to shiver. Only now did he realize how cold it was outside. A bone-piercing chill was constantly invading Gu Zheng's body.
But the most important thing was that when he opened his eyes, he saw that Xing Cai, who was pressing on his chest, was already ashen. She was constantly trembling, and her body was as hard as a rock.
"Boom!"
A ball of flame instantly surged out of Gu Zheng's body and surrounded the two of them.
In this vast world of ice and snow, a ball of flame rose up in this world. The snowflakes that filled the sky had yet to fall, and were all evaporated. This was the only warm place in this world.
As Xing Cai's body temperature rose, her complexion also became rosy, and her body was no longer so stiff.
Xing Cai slowly woke up with a groan. She looked at Gu Zheng with a somewhat confused gaze.
"You're awake!" Gu Zheng said somewhat happily. He waved his hand and put away the flame.
"Ah!" Xing Cai let out a startled cry. Her hands were actually wrapped around Gu Zheng's waist, and her body was almost stuck to his chest. Seeing this, her face turned red, and she immediately jumped out of his body.
As a result, just as she left his body, she felt the outside suddenly become cold. She suddenly shivered, and immediately raised a barrier to isolate herself. Only then did she feel a bit better.
"Where, where is this place?" Xing Cai asked while shivering. At the same time, she looked all around.
But the surrounding was a vast expanse of snow. As far as the eye could see, there was only white. There was nothing else to see.
There was even a half-meter tall layer of snow next to them.
"Other than being certain that this is the Black Dragon Immortal Mansion, I don't know where exactly we are." Gu Zheng had already looked around, but he didn't find anything suspicious.
Xing Cai's body flickered with a faint light. She once again wore the full set of clothes she had obtained. A layer of light automatically flickered from her clothes, blocking the cold Qi outside her body.
"Why didn't you wear it just now? You didn't have to suffer so much." Gu Zheng was a bit puzzled when he saw this scene.
"My father said that he was afraid it would cause the passage to shake, so he had me change it. But I really was unlucky. How could such a thing have happened?" Xing Cai wasn't that injured. After all, it was Gu Zheng who had broken the barrier. All the damage had been borne by Gu Zheng.
"That damn Qi Yun, he actually did something to my body." Gu Zheng thought of the strange things happening to his body. But after thinking about it, he realized what was going on.
While waiting, the other party secretly did something to him. As for how he managed to hide it from Xing Ba, it must have been the phantom from last time.
"So it was him. I knew it. Besides him, there was no one else who did this." Xing Cai said with some hindsight. But after looking around, she said with some worry.
"What should we do next? We don't even know where this place is."
"I have already explored the surroundings with my Divine Sense. There is no obvious difference in the surroundings. But I found that the further we go, the lower the temperature." Gu Zheng pointed to the distance and said.
"Then let's go quickly and meet up with father." Xing Cai urged.
Gu Zheng nodded. He had the same intention. But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a burning sensation on his shoulder. It was as if something wanted to come out.
"What's wrong?" Xing Cai looked at Gu Zheng, who had a painful expression, and asked puzzledly.
"Bang!"
Just as she finished speaking, a bloody hole suddenly appeared on Gu Zheng's shoulder, causing blood to splatter everywhere. At the same time, something the size of a thumb shot out from within.
"Don't attack, it's one of us." Seeing Xing Cai raise the orb in her hand and was about to attack, Gu Zheng immediately stopped her attack.
"Who is it?" Xing Cai looked at Gu Zheng who was holding the shell-like thing in his hand as if he was afraid of dropping it. She sized it up and asked doubtfully.
"Didn't I tell you before? I have a friend who is in a seriously injured state. I have to come here to help her pass the life and death tribulation." Gu Zheng explained to Xing Cai. Then, he said to Zi Yi with some joy.
As for his own injuries, they would be completely healed in no time.
"You woke up? Are you okay? "
"Young Master Gu, I don't need you to take such a risk." The shrunken Zi Yi didn't move, but her voice sounded in the air.
"How can I not need it? If it weren't for you, I might still be trapped there. If that happened, I wouldn't be able to save Xing Cai in time." Gu Zheng said righteously. He wasn't an ungrateful person. Moreover, Zi Yi didn't need to take such a step at that time. After all, he was the one in the wrong by snatching her things.
"Thank you for your help, senior. Xing Cai can't thank you enough. This time, I will also help Young Master Gu to help you recover." Xing Cai had heard about Zi Yi's matter and immediately thanked her.
If it weren't for Zi Yi's help, she wouldn't have been able to be saved by Gu Zheng. He could also be considered as her savior.
"Don't worry, I actually woke up last time, but after forcing that person to retreat, I didn't have the strength to come out. It was only because Ren Xue came here that I recovered some of my strength and temporarily fused with the earring I refined that I was barely able to come out." Zi Yi saw Xing Cai's reaction and quickly said.
"I've already been to this Immortal Mansion during the last great battle. I can tell you about some of the places that I know."
"What is this place?" Xing Cai immediately asked.
"This should be the outermost world of ice and snow. It's also the first line of defense at the entrance. Did you come from the middle?" Zi Yi didn't need to look to know where they were. They had also come from here before.
"There was an accident. How can we continue to go inside? I don't know where we can find the place where Rui Xue is." Gu Zheng's face was burning. He really didn't expect Qi Yun to disregard the safety of his people and attack in the passage.
"It's still early. You're still in the outer area. At least, you have to enter the Black Dragon Palace. Go straight to the left and break through the checkpoint set up in this area. Then, you will enter the next area." Zi Yi's figure slowly flew up from Gu Zheng's palm and stopped in mid-air.
"I need to rest for a while. Give me some pills. I can now exert the cultivation of an early-stage Grand Immortal. Call me out at the crucial moment."
"Okay, these are all for you." Gu Zheng immediately took out some good pills. "I don't have any good pills now. If you can find some inside, I'll give them to you."
"Okay, I'll rest first. If there's any problem, please wake me up." Zi Yi finished speaking and rushed to Gu Zheng's shoulder again.
At the same time, some very basic information was transmitted to Gu Zheng's mind, but most of it was fragmented. It seemed that Zi Yi didn't get much information from Rui Xue.
But this time, she didn't go in again. Instead, she turned into a tattoo and stuck to Gu Zheng's shoulder blade. Only a corner could be vaguely seen from below his neck.
"Phew, let's go!" Seeing Zi Yi wake up, Gu Zheng's mood was inexplicably good. There was no time to lose. It was best to leave here quickly.
Xing Cai made a sound of acknowledgment and followed Gu Zheng's figure to the left.
They didn't fly too high. The sky was gloomy, as if it could fall again at any time. It made people's hearts unconsciously feel heavy. In particular, countless snowflakes seemed to be endless, floating down. Just the bone-piercing cold wind could freeze Jin Xian's middle-stage Grand Immortal to death. It could be seen how powerful the traps here were.
"My father said that there are more than just good things here. Especially the Heaven Mending Pill and the Scarlet Soul Pill are the most famous." Along the way, feeling the heavy air, Xing Cai spoke, breaking the somewhat oppressive atmosphere.
"What are those things? Could it be that they attracted so many people? "Gu Zheng thought that there were so many people outside, not to mention that there should be more behind.
"Of course. After taking the Scarlet Soul Pill, there is a certain chance that it can help Jin Xian break through to the Great Heavenly Immortal Realm. You can say that it won't make people crazy. Moreover, there is also the Heaven Mending Pill, which is the creation of heaven and earth. Legend has it that it is made from the natal soul of the Black Dragon. Not only does it have the ability to resurrect people, it can also temporarily make their cultivation level equal to the Black Dragon's. It can be said that it is a trump card that everyone wants." Xing Cai thought of what her father had told her. Even now, she still didn't believe that such a powerful pill existed.
It could allow people to ignore the difference in cultivation level. Although the effect of the pill varied from person to person, as long as one was below the Sage-to-be realm, who wouldn't want it? At a critical moment, it could even crush the opponent to death by relying on strength.
"It's really too powerful. Why didn't he tell me before? The difference is really big." Gu Zheng felt a chill in his heart when he heard it. He cursed in his heart, but still said it.
"Other than that, is there anything else?"
"There seems to be, but relatively speaking, it's not as famous as the previous two …"
Their voices resounded in the air, but their speed didn't slow down at all.
When Gu Zheng and the others were rushing, the direction that Gu Zheng had pointed out was the direction where the temperature was lower. The area covered by the snowflakes was also smaller. When they reached the outermost area, there was only bare barren land. There wasn't even a snowflake. It was as if they had walked out of the range.
At this moment, with a flash of light in the air, more than ten figures in black clothes suddenly appeared on the ground.
Except for the leader with blood-red hair that was disheveled and had a gloomy expression, the others were all dressed in black. The smell of blood on their bodies could be felt from afar.
"This time, we didn't hesitate to come here. We must plunder enough things to be worthy of our hard work. Pay more attention, don't miss out on anything." The leader glanced at the world of ice and snow in front of him and said.
"Yes, Sect Master Xue!"
