"Give it back to me!" Xing Cai yelled anxiously when she realized that there was nothing on her waist.
When she saw that the old man had no intention of returning it, she immediately pounced on him in an attempt to snatch it back.
However, the white-haired old man waved his hand, and Xing Cai's figure involuntarily rose into the air and flew towards Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch Xing Cai. However, when she was about to reach him, he realized that she was in a completely different position from him. However, in the next moment, her figure crashed into Gu Zheng's embrace, almost causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.
"You're out!" Gu Zheng said to Xing Cai. At the same time, he became even more fearful of the white-haired old man in front of him. The old man's hands and feet were able to make Xing Cai change back and forth at this time, and he actually didn't notice any trace of it. It was as if he had yet to become an immortal, while the old man had already become a sage.
"Don't look at me like that. In my world, even a Grand Heavenly Immortal has to lie down before me." The white-haired old man seemed to understand what he meant and said.
"Return my grandfather's item to me!" At this moment, Gu Zheng and Xing Cai also knew that the old man wasn't an illusion, nor was he an enemy.
"Hehe, don't even think about it. Take this as the price for offending me." The white-haired old man's hand moved, and the item instantly disappeared.
"May I ask who senior is and how we can get out of here?" Gu Zheng put Xing Cai down and asked respectfully.
Clearly, the old man was a friend of Xing Cai's grandfather, a remnant of the Black Dragon era. However, why was he hiding here?
"It doesn't matter who you are, but it's too easy for you to get out. Go to the Hexagonal Thorn and take the five-string zither. Go to the blind man beside the Three-Life Stone and take his Demon Suppression Stone. There's a bowl of water at the bottom of the river beside the Nine-layered Pagoda. Take the branch with a red flower in the middle of Seven Stars Street. Finally, go to the Four Spirit Seals and take the wisp of Cleansing Flame. Then, just take it here." The white-haired old man rambled on.
Gu Zheng was delighted when he heard this. The old man was going to tell them how to leave.
"Wait for me here for a while. I'll be right back." Gu Zheng said to Xing Cai. He left Xing Cai alone and rushed outside. Of course, he knew those places.
Only Xing Cai and the old man were left on the field.
"Eh, old senior, are you very familiar with my grandfather?" Xing Cai couldn't help but ask when she saw him picking up her grandfather's things again, seemingly reminiscing about the past.
"Of course I'm very familiar with him. If it wasn't for him, I would've died a long time ago. How could I have lingered on at death's door until now? But it seems like my days are coming to an end." The white-haired old man glanced at her, then put the item away again.
"How could that be? If you come with us, my father will definitely be very happy to see you. "Xing Cai wanted to save the other party.
"That brat Xingba? When he was young, he was a very clingy fellow. Who knows how much trouble he caused. "The white-haired old man chuckled as if he had thought of something. Then, he sighed.
"It's too late. Of course, I have a purpose here, so I won't go out. By the way, who is that guy to you? Be careful. "
Xing Cai understood who he was talking about. Her face turned slightly red, then she whispered.
"He's my fiancé in name."
"Hehe, that's good. What about him? If you spend too much time with him, you'll be in trouble. Unless you have a certain amount of luck, you'll be able to avoid it. Moreover, even I can't see through him. Be careful." The white-haired old man looked at her meaningfully. Of course, he understood what she meant.
"I don't quite understand what you're talking about!" Xing Cai looked at the old man in confusion. Gu Zheng was really a good person. His character was very righteous, and he was very good to his friends. He was definitely worth being friends with.
"It's okay if you don't know. By the way, you don't know about your grandfather. I'll tell you about it, and also tell you about your father's embarrassing incident." He deliberately changed the topic and told Xing Cai.
On the other side, Gu Zheng went around to the side of the three stones. He knew that there was a blind fortune-teller there. However, he was actually able to take away the stone that the blind fortune-teller used as a paperweight. After trying it out just now, he thought that everything could not be touched.
He saw that the blind man was still setting up his stall there. However, this time, there was a fortune-teller in front of him. The last time he came, there was no fortune-teller. However, that should be three days later.
Gu Zheng did not ask him. He directly reached out to grab the paperweight stone. He looked at him from the corner of his eyes, afraid that he would suddenly go crazy and stop him.
Fortunately, everything was fine. Gu Zheng also successfully obtained the stone.
As soon as the stone was in his hand, Gu Zheng felt that something was wrong with the surroundings. A ripple flashed across the surroundings. However, just that was enough for Gu Zheng to realize that something was wrong.
His heart was also dripping with cold sweat. If that was really the case, then he and Xing Cai would really die here. Now, he was even more convinced of that person. It seemed that Xing Cai had saved his life this time.
After half a day, Gu Zheng collected everything. At this time, he also knew how to leave this place.
There was also a layer of Five Elements Array Formation hidden in the hidden array formation. It was very well hidden. It was really admirable.
After a while, Gu Zheng returned to the central area. At this time, he saw Xing Cai and the other party happily chatting. Their faces were full of smiles, but he did not know what they were talking about.
Seeing Gu Zheng return, Xing Cai waved her hand from afar to signal Gu Zheng.
"You've found a relative?" Gu Zheng joked with a smile.
"No, the other party is just a friend of my grandfather. Did you get everything back?" Xing Cai shook her head and replied with some sadness.
"En, I already know how to use these things." Gu Zheng nodded. After collecting the five things, he understood everything. These five things were the cornerstone of this place.
With them, he would be able to get out with some effort.
"Senior, I'm going to leave now. How are my friends?" Gu Zheng asked the white-haired old man.
"One of them used the map fragment to break out of this place and left. The other one naturally fell into this place without exception. However, the other party is really stupid. He couldn't even see the most basic surface. He could really be trapped here." The old man glanced at the things that Gu Zheng placed in the air and then waved them.
The five things were arranged in a pentagonal formation below Stone Gate City.
"Buzz"
A light sound reverberated in the air. At the same time, the five things in the air emitted different rays of light. The five rays of light intertwined with each other, causing layers of ripples to appear in the middle.
After an incense stick's worth of time, a layer of white fog appeared in the air and floated in the air.
Gu Zheng and Xing Cai knew that this was the exit of this place.
"The two of you, I won't be sending you off. I hope that everything goes smoothly. I'll say the same thing again. Since you've gotten what you want, quickly leave. Don't get involved with the final thing." The old man said with deep meaning.
"If it's possible, we can bring you out. Why hide here?" Gu Zheng hesitated for a moment before saying.
"Haha, it's good that you have the heart. I have my mission, and you have your own goals. Just based on your words, this thing will tell you where you want to find it." The old man laughed and a white dot rushed into Gu Zheng's mind with lightning speed.
A simple map appeared in Gu Zheng's mind, but Gu Zheng didn't recognize the place.
"This is?" Gu Zheng was a little shocked.
"In the depths of the Specter Pavilion, there is a secret teleportation formation. You can go there directly to a hidden alchemy room. That place definitely hasn't been plundered by the traitors. I remember that there is a Scarlet Soul Pill there. It should still be preserved there. You seem to have a use for it." The old man said indifferently.
"Thank you!" Gu Zheng thanked him sincerely. One had to know that no one knew where the hidden places were. If they followed the things on the surface, they might not leave anything behind.
"Alright, since I can't bring these things with me when I'm alive, I can't bring them with me when I'm dead. I have no use for them. I might as well leave them for my own people. However, if you want to go, there will be many dangers along the way. I hope you can pass through them." The old man said with a little disappointment.
Then he turned and walked towards the tea stall.
"Shopkeeper, give me a bowl of clear tea. Same old rules!"
"Alright. You're a little early today. Don't you usually come in the afternoon?" The shopkeeper was working as a waiter and was busy inside.
"Let's go!" Gu Zheng saw that Xing Cai was still looking at the old man and couldn't help but say.
"En!" Xing Cai nodded and turned around without hesitation. She followed behind Gu Zheng and walked towards the fog door.
In a space with blue sky and white clouds, there was a fiery red ball hanging high in the sky. A layer of faint white clouds blocked it, casting a shadow below. It looked a lot cooler.
At the very front, there was a spacious white stone plaza. At this moment, a strange fluctuation suddenly rippled from above. Gu Zheng and Xing Cai's figures immediately fell from above.
Before the two of them landed on the ground, they steadied themselves in the air and looked around. Just as they were puzzled, a figure directly fell from above.
"Be careful!"
Lan Yu's somewhat frightened voice came from above. Gu Zheng raised his head and saw that he was falling in a crouching position.
Gu Zheng and Xing Cai dodged and directly let him fall in the middle.
"Bang!"
They saw him lying on the ground in a daze. The white stone beneath him shattered into pieces.
"Why are you in such a sorry state?!" Gu Zheng clearly didn't expect him to be in such a state. However, when he swept his gaze over him, he discovered that his cultivation had been sealed. However, the seal had already been released and quickly disappeared.
"I also didn't want to. I was in the middle of breaking the illusion when the world suddenly changed. A pair of large hands directly grabbed me and threw me here." Lan Yu stood up and patted the dirt off his body. Of course, falling from this height wouldn't injure him.
"In that case, you've broken through the illusionary realm? I thought that old man had pulled me out. Where is he? "Lan Yu looked around and only saw Gu Zheng's figure.
"He left before we came out. I don't know where he is now." Gu Zheng's figure slowly landed on the ground. He glanced at Lan Yu and then looked forward.
At this moment, there were three large palaces in front of them. In the middle was a tall mountain. There was only a steep flight of stairs leading to the top. At the top, they could vaguely see a palace. At the bottom, there were two other palaces on the left and right.
Looking down, it was all gray and hazy void. Clearly, that was the space of the position.
"Damn it. I knew he wouldn't be so disloyal. He actually ran away first. If I had known, I wouldn't have helped him." Lan Yu's face was filled with indignation. Then, he turned to Gu Zheng and smiled flatteringly.
"Young Master Gu, you saved my life again. I really don't know what to do. My life is yours."
Gu Zheng glanced at him indifferently. In reality, he didn't believe the other party's words at all. However, it didn't matter right now.
"Let's hurry over and see what else is there." Xing Cai interrupted from the side. She looked over curiously.
The three of them immediately walked over. Relatively speaking, the palace on the right was slightly closer. They directly walked over to the right.
The palace on the right was slightly shorter than the one on the left. When they got closer, they saw that there were many cracks on the huge pillars outside. Many of the pillars were full of holes, but they still firmly supported the eaves. Moreover, there were some scratches on the walls. Those scratches were brand new, as if they had been there not long ago.
The three of them quickly walked a few steps and arrived at the entrance of the palace that looked like a small city gate. At this moment, the palace had already been opened. They could even see the traces of violence.
"It's that White Brow Daoist. He came here. Damn it. Now, everything inside will be swept away by him." Lan Yu felt the aura above and knew who had blasted this place open.
"Then let's go in and see if there's anything else." Gu Zheng and Xing Cai looked at each other and said.
The aura outside clearly didn't match the aura inside. It was obvious that someone else had come here before them.
However, it was impossible for there to be only one entrance. It was also possible that someone had accidentally discovered another entrance and barged in.
Opening the half-damaged door, Gu Zheng's group directly walked in.
Half a day later, they finally arrived at the very back. There was an independent room, inside which there was a destroyed teleportation array.
"The other party has already left." Lan Yu was like a frosted eggplant at this moment, especially in the room.
Almost everything inside had been swept away. Some places had also been violently damaged. There were even a few destroyed puppets and some broken formations.
But even so, they still found some places that the other party hadn't paid attention to. In fact, they were just some ordinary things. They didn't even have the feeling of being moved.
"Forget it. Let's go to the other palace to take a look." Gu Zheng wasn't disappointed at all, because he knew that the best things weren't below, but inside the palace on the peak. That was the real core. The real good things were all above.
The things below were also not bad, but that depended on what they were compared to.
The group walked out of the palace and walked towards that place.
"I don't think there's anything good over there. Why don't we go to the center? Let's not waste time. There's definitely an even bigger restriction up there. The other party couldn't have broken it so quickly." Halfway there, Xing Cai suddenly suggested.
She also knew that the good things were all above.
"Okay, I have no objections." Lan Yu thought for a moment and also agreed. It could be seen from some of the things below.
If they were really delayed down there and the good things above were taken away, he would really feel heartache.
The three of them in the center prepared to go up, but just as they wanted to fly up, they felt a huge force pressing down on them from three feet above the ground. None of them could continue flying.
"It seems that there's also a restriction here. Everyone be careful." Gu Zheng discovered that he couldn't break through it either. It was very likely that it was a restriction in itself.
The three of them could only fall down. The three of them had no choice but to rush up the stairs.
Needless to say, the stairs that would take an ordinary person an extremely long time to climb only took them half a day to reach the top of the mountain.
Unexpectedly, the huge palace was actually still some distance away. It was on the opposite mountain peak, and connected to it was the only pavilion in the air. It was like a flight of stone steps that continued to stack up to the opposite mountain peak. Countless black Qi covered the surface to block the hurricane in the air.
The place they were at was also a huge plaza. Aside from the many strange stones carved in the surroundings, there was also a main gate over fifteen feet tall in front of them. It was completely made of wood, and there were strange runes on it. As the runes flickered, they formed a dazzling vortex barrier in the air.
"It seems that no one has gone in yet. It seems that we're really lucky." Lan Yu said happily and quickly rushed forward.
On the other hand, Gu Zheng looked over with a serious expression, as if he had seen something difficult to resolve.
"What's wrong, Young Master Gu?" Xing Cai was also somewhat excited. As she looked around, she discovered that something was wrong with Gu Zheng.
"We can't break that seal!" Gu Zheng raised his arm and slowly said.
Xing Cai looked over and discovered that Lan Yu had already taken out a dazzling jade ruler. Strands of multicolored light continuously twined around it, attacking the restriction in front of them.
Bang!
After a light sound, Lan Yu was directly pushed back several dozen meters by the rebound force.
"What kind of seal is this? How can it be so strong!" Lan Yu slapped the ground and stood up, somewhat astonished.
However, even though he said that, his body rushed forward again. The other side didn't counterattack, and he was only pushed back by his own strength.
Gu Zheng stood behind him and watched him fall back several times. Lan Yu was finally somewhat annoyed.
"Hurry up and come help me. I won't take the things inside for myself."
"Are you blinded by greed? Take a look at the defensive barrier. Is it something we can break through right now?" Xing Cai retorted without any trace of politeness.
Although Lan Yu was annoyed, he still carefully looked at the seal in front of him. With a single glance, his heart turned cold.
The aura on the surface seemed to be very gentle, but the inside was abnormally firm. Even after all their efforts, it was already useless. The seal in front of them was actually placed by a Grand Immortal. No matter how hard they tried, it was useless.
This was because the multicolored light behind him was constantly replenishing him.
With their strength, it was simply impossible to break it.
