"How could there be such a strong defense here? And after such a long time, it's still so powerful." Lan Yu said, dumbfounded.
Were they going to return empty-handed from a treasure mountain? He wasn't willing to do that.
"Don't be sad. I'll ask someone." Gu Zheng said to the disappointed Lan Yu.
No matter what, he had to pass through here. After all, there was something he was interested in behind.
The Scarlet Soul Pill was very attractive even to Gu Zheng. He knew it was there, so how could he not go? So he had to open the seal.
Xing Cai watched Gu Zheng walk to the side and followed him, confused. Even Lan Yu was curious and followed.
They scanned the palm-sized area, but didn't find anything suspicious.
After going around a large rock, the figures of an old man and a young girl appeared in front of them.
An extremely transparent barrier was attached to the stone wall. The aura on it was similar to the stone wall, as if they were one. If they didn't search every inch, they would have missed it.
But who would do that? They thought they were careful enough, but they still couldn't find them.
The old man's mouth was bleeding, and he was sitting on the ground, healing himself. The young girl, who seemed to be sixteen or seventeen years old, was looking at them in fear.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything. He just stood in front of them, quietly watching them. Xing Cai was now following Gu Zheng, so she would do whatever he did.
Lan Yu wanted to say something, but when she thought of Gu Zheng's sharp perception, she had no choice but to listen to what the old man was saying.
After fifteen minutes, the old man slowly opened his eyes. After glancing at Gu Zheng and the others, he patted the young girl's shoulder, comforting her. Only then did he deactivate the barrier and stand up.
"This old man, Yu Chong, greets fellow cultivators."
"Gu Zheng greets senior!" Although the old man was injured, Gu Zheng still respected him.
Not because of anything else, but because of the righteous aura around him. Although it wasn't as strong as Feifei's master, it was enough to prove that he was an upright and upright person, worthy of respect.
"I say, Young Master Gu, why are you wasting your time talking to this old man? He might be looking for treasures again. Why don't we capture him and interrogate him forcefully?"
Blue Rain didn't know what Gu Zheng was trying to do. Even though the other side was also at the peak of Jin Xian, he was already heavily injured. Even with the addition of that pretty good little girl, the three of them could easily take him down. When the time came, it wouldn't be up to them anymore.
"Shut up! If you keep talking like that, I'll kill you right now!" Before Gu Zheng could say anything, Xing Cai's face turned cold and she shouted.
Xing Cai hated people like Yu Chong, so she admired people like him very much in the Star Alliance that she had single-handedly founded.
"You scared me to death. I was just saying. There's no need to be so agitated." Blue Rain saw Gu Zheng's cold gaze and couldn't help but shiver. Then, he took a few steps back, indicating that he wouldn't say anything else.
Although he hadn't seen his true strength, he still felt very afraid of him, just like a mouse seeing a cat.
Yu Chong was clearly at the peak of Jin Xian, but it was so strange.
"There are too many freaks here. I came in high spirited. Although I can't say I'm looking down on everyone, I still feel like I'm at the lowest level." Blue Rain lamented.
But then he thought of all those ownerless items and said to himself, "I have to give something back.
Otherwise, it'll be too much of a loss. Speaking of which, following them isn't bad. It's much better than that Daoist who can stab me in the back at any time. "
Although he couldn't stand this kind of upright gentleman, at least he didn't have to worry about his own safety.
Thinking of this, he felt much better and began to calculate how many things there were inside.
Daoist White Brow should have also come here. Seeing that there was no way to enter, he left.
He didn't doubt that they wouldn't be able to enter.
On the other side, Gu Zheng had already spoken a few words with the other side. He knew why they were here.
They had followed one of their enemies here through a secret passageway. When the enemy had gone to investigate the hall below, they had gone up and discovered the sealed door.
Outside the door, there was a concave stone platform with a blue bead on it. They put it away.
Then, the woman rushed up and fought with the two of them. However, she was very strong. After fighting for a while, the old man was injured by her. At this time, Daoist White Eyebrows arrived below, causing the woman to hide.
They took the opportunity to escape and hide. Then, they came here to heal their injuries. Unexpectedly, Gu Zheng came not long after.
Although he didn't know how trustworthy Yu Chong's words were, based on his righteousness, it was most likely true. Gu Zheng glanced at Xing Cai, who immediately understood.
"Yu Zi, right? Your name is easily misunderstood. Come, come, your grandfather has some things to discuss."
Yu Zi glanced at her grandfather, who gave her a reassuring look. Then, she left with Xing Cai.
"Senior Yu, you said that the other party also has a red ball in his hand?" Gu Zheng recalled what he said and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course. Because there are two holes on the platform, I took it out from one of them. Obviously, it was to remove the restriction in front of me. The other party took it out for me to see, but I definitely won't give it to him." Although Yu Chong didn't know who Gu Zheng was, at least he wasn't a bad person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stop the three of them.
"This is the blue ball. It's very strange and can't be put away. You either have to carry it with you or put it somewhere else." On the other side, Yu Chong took out an eyeball-sized ball from his bosom. There was only a layer of blue mist covering it.
"I'll give it to you. I have no use for it anyway."
Yu Chong was old and shrewd. He didn't need to look to know why the other party was here. He might as well give it to the other party. In any case, he probably couldn't keep it in his current state.
"Thank you for your generosity, Senior." Gu Zheng was just thinking about how to say it. If he snatched it, he wouldn't have the heart to do it. He didn't expect the other party to be so considerate as to give it to him.
However, he didn't refuse and took it. After all, if he had to go in, he couldn't do without this thing.
The white-haired old man didn't tell him about this, which meant that there must be a way to solve it. Moreover, it would be very easy.
"I'm seriously injured, so I won't accompany you. I'll wait here for your good news." Yu Chong breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he didn't say it, the other party would eventually notice it.
He had hidden it so well that even that hateful woman didn't notice it. However, he was discovered by Gu Zheng, who had just come up.
"Don't worry. If the other party knows what's good for them, I'll come up soon. When the time comes, I'll take you with me. If not, I'll take revenge for you." Gu Zheng put away the small ball and said directly.
Generally speaking, going against a righteous person wouldn't be any better. Although it wasn't absolute, it wouldn't be bad.
Just as he finished, Xing Cai and the smiling Yu Zi arrived. It seemed that Yu Zi had already trusted her in this short period of time. Gu Zheng couldn't help but admire her ability.
"Alright, we'll be going first." Gu Zheng said to them before heading down.
"Wait for me, I'll go with you." Lan Yu, who was fantasizing about waiting for a Scarlet Soul Pill, saw Gu Zheng leave and hurriedly followed.
"Young Master, the other party is covered in poisonous insects. You should be careful." Yu Chong seemed to have thought of something and shouted at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng's figure paused for a moment before he continued to descend.
"Grandfather, I feel that they're quite nice people, especially that big sister. She even gave me some healing pills and told me to give them to you." Yu Zi opened her hand, revealing three extremely precious pills. Their fragrance assailed his nostrils. They were clearly precious items.
"How can you accept such precious things from others?" Yu Chong's expression stiffened.
"That big sister Xing is very nice. She knows you don't have any good pills and was afraid you wouldn't accept them. That's why she gave them to me. This place is so dangerous, so you should take them." Yu Zi was a bit stubborn. She looked at Yu Chong with a pleading gaze. She raised one of the pills for him to take.
"Without grandfather, what should I do?"
"Alright, but don't casually take other people's things next time!" Seeing this, he thought that if he really died here, his granddaughter would be miserable.
Although her talent wasn't bad, being able to cultivate to Jin Xian's level in just over a hundred thousand years, she had always been with him, so he couldn't be at ease.
Saying that, he took one of the pills from his granddaughter and swallowed it in front of her joyful gaze.
"Great," thought Yu Zi. "Big sister Xing's method really is useful."
On the other side, Gu Zheng and the other two quickly rushed down. They took as much time as they came up, but when they approached the hall, the three of them simultaneously slowed down.
"Be careful, I'll take the lead." Gu Zheng said to the two of them. After saying that, he took the lead and walked over.
When they arrived at the main hall on the left, the door was already open. There were also many Night Illumination Pearls embedded inside. The soft light illuminated the hall, allowing them to clearly see everything.
Bang bang!
Suddenly, a loud knocking sound rang out in the hall. The reverberating sound gave the three of them a fright.
However, they didn't notice anything strange outside. That sound seemed to be coming from the deepest part of the hall.
"Look, there are still many things that haven't been opened." Lan Yu quietly transmitted her voice as they walked in.
Gu Zheng looked over. In a small room, there were many boxes neatly placed inside. The seals were still flowing with light. They were still in good condition.
"That person actually didn't open them. Unbelievable." Xing Cai also transmitted her voice.
"Come back. Now isn't the time to open them." Gu Zheng saw Lan Yu approaching and couldn't help but say.
"That's too bad." With his sharp eyes, he even saw a box being opened. Some golden light seeped out from within, but he couldn't see what was inside. This made his heart itch.
"If you want to go, then don't follow us." Gu Zheng said and directly walked forward, as if he didn't want to ask him.
Xing Cai gave him a disdainful look before walking forward as well.
Lan Yu glanced at Gu Zheng who was gradually walking away, then looked at the nearby treasure chest. In the end, she clenched her teeth and followed Gu Zheng's footsteps.
"Why am I so greedy? I know my limits. "He had an awe-inspiring appearance, as if he were a gentleman.
As for what he was thinking, he wouldn't say it out loud.
Gu Zheng obviously knew what Lan Yu was thinking, but he didn't care. However, he had already made a decision. When the time came, he'd find an opportunity to separate from Lan Yu. He'd seen too many people like this, so it was better to have less contact with them.
Perhaps because he knew that his position in Gu Zheng's heart had greatly decreased, he obediently followed behind even if there were other things. He didn't even look at them.
The whole way was quiet. Apart from the loud echoes, they didn't discover anything else. It was empty and deathly silent.
Suddenly, Gu Zheng stopped abruptly. Then, he quickly hid behind a pillar. The other two hurriedly followed his actions and hid behind it.
"It's that woman?" Xing Cai poked her head out and saw a woman wearing a blue muslin dress. Most of her slender thighs were directly exposed. Xing Cai's stomach churned.
At this moment, outside a room in front of them, the blue woman was leaning against the wall. In her hand was the red bead that Gu Zheng wanted. She seemed to be studying something.
Beside her, there was an insect that was ten meters long. It was using the two antennae on its head, the two outermost black balls, to continuously knock on the door.
Every time it smashed on the door, it was as if it had the force of ten thousand catties. Balls of golden light exploded from the point of contact.
"No wonder every door before was so terrifying. It turns out that this little thing is tearing down the door." Lan Yu also secretly looked over and said with some surprise.
On the golden door, the spiritual light had dimmed a lot. It looked like it would soon be violently torn apart.
Gu Zheng's eyes secretly looked over there. The other party should be the woman that Yu Chong mentioned, the poisonous beast master named Lan Yue.
To be honest, it was very difficult to find these cultivators near the central area. However, there were quite a few in the wilderness. After all, this was the only place where there were so many strange poisonous insects and the like. In the bustling area, if they dared to show their faces, they would have long been killed by the righteous.
However, at that time, Yu Chong had told him that the other party was also injured. Although it was only a minor injury, it couldn't be seen at all. Perhaps the other party had some miracle medicine and was already healed.
There was a loud bang. In the end, the door couldn't block the other party's bombardment. With the last two heavy blows, the roc broke into large pieces. Most of it scattered inside the door, but one of the fragments just so happened to spin and fly towards Gu Zheng.
On the other side, Lan Yu saw the fragment flying over and suddenly retreated. However, he accidentally stepped on Xing Cai's foot.
"Ah!"
Xing Cai couldn't help but cry out. Although she covered her mouth in an instant, she was still discovered by the people in the distance.
"Who is it!"
Lan Yue, who was just about to walk in, heard the slight movement. Her eyes flashed and she raised her arm. A white light appeared in the air and shot towards Gu Zheng.
In the next moment, Gu Zheng and the others flew out from behind the pillar. Since they were discovered, they might as well stand out in the open.
"Who are you? Don't disturb my treasure hunt. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. " Lan Yue rolled up his sleeves and the white light in the air suddenly disappeared. When he saw Gu Zheng and the others, his pupils shrank slightly. He didn't show any fear.
"Who we are isn't important. Hand over the red bead in your hand. You search for your item. We'll walk our own path. Well water doesn't interfere with river water. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite." Lan Yu shouted towards the other side, as if they had to agree even if they didn't.
Right now, the three of them were dealing with a previously injured woman. Wasn't it easy for them to capture her?
"Haha, you actually found that old guy. It seems like you've said quite a few bad things about me. However, it doesn't matter. No matter how you got here, the things here are mine. The things above are also mine. That's why I advise you to leave." Lan Yue reached out and stroked the hard shell of his pet. Instead, he gave Gu Zheng and the others an ultimatum.
"You don't see the situation. Your appetite is so big. Be careful not to choke to death." Lan Yu saw that the other side was so arrogant. Even she didn't want to take it all for herself.
"What? If you're not convinced, the item is right here. Come and get it! " Lan Yue's brows loosened, as if he didn't put Gu Zheng and the others in his eyes at all. That red bead was turned over in his hand and who knew where it was hidden.
Gu Zheng also furrowed his brows. The other side's words were a bit stubborn.
Along the way, Xing Cai had told him what she had learned from that Yu Zi. She knew that this woman was sinister and vicious. She had done quite a few outrageous things. The faint smell of blood coming from her body couldn't be faked. She really was born with such a beautiful appearance.
She was still so confident even though she was facing the three of them.
"Young Master Gu, I'll go teach this woman a lesson and take the bead back while I'm at it." Lan Yu looked towards Gu Zheng and said.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything. He only nodded, agreeing to the other side's request.
Seeing this, Lan Yu immediately walked out with a nasty grin.
On the other side, Lan Yue raised his brows and looked. He didn't see any movement, but the large ant-like guy next to him charged towards Lan Yu.
On the other side, Lan Yu also threw something forward. A similarly large puppet appeared in front of them. It held a double-bladed heavy axe in its hands. It also charged forward without any decrease in momentum.
"So it's a puppeteer. No wonder you're so arrogant." Lan Yue stood up. Relatively speaking, this puppeteer really did restrain him, not to mention that there were two enemies glaring at him like tigers watching their prey.
"What? Are you scared? Then surrender early and save yourself the pain of flesh. "Lan Yu saw this and sneered.
"I don't know how to write the word 'scared'. Don't worry, once I catch you, I'll peel off all your flesh. Then, just like those mortals in the past, I'll feed you to my little treasures and let you feel the taste of ten thousand beasts eating away at your hearts." Lan Yue still spoke very confidently.
At the same time, he clapped his hands and a dozen or so creatures a few feet long crawled out from his body.
As soon as they landed, their bodies trembled and they immediately swelled to a centipede-like creature three meters long and charged over.
