It was easy to say, but it wasn't an easy thing to do.
The previous red light defense was much stronger than the blue barrier outside. Moreover, it could be sensed from above that it was a completely different kind of array formation. Wanting to rely on five rings was somewhat unreliable.
More importantly, it was too powerful and couldn't be used in such a place.
At a certain height above their heads, there was a huge Spirit Gathering Array Formation. If it was broken, most of the manor would be destroyed.
"You two back off a bit. We'll test it." Gu Zheng said to the two of them.
Seeing them back off, Gu Zheng took a deep breath. A golden sword appeared in front of him and flew above his head.
As the golden sword trembled, countless Sword Qi surged out from above and slashed at the red light barrier.
However, what made Gu Zheng frown was that when the Sword Qi landed on it, there was no movement at all. It was as if the Sword Qi had dissolved in water, but there wasn't even a splash.
If there was a change, it would be that the red light in front of him was slightly stronger and had a slight reaction.
Gu Zheng waved his hand and a dozen long swords lined up in the air. At this time, he didn't release any Sword Qi. Instead, his body lit up and rushed towards the red barrier.
"Ding Ding"
The flying swords hit the barrier one after another. Every time they hit, there would be a loud sound and ripples on the barrier. However, the ripples were only around the tip of the swords. There was almost no effect. This made Gu Zheng frown even more.
After trying for a while, Gu Zheng put away all the flying swords in the air.
"No, it's not something we can break through right now. This defensive barrier is similar to the outermost one that leads here. With our strength, there's no way we can break through it," Gu Zheng shook his head and said to the people behind him.
"That's a pity." Xing Cai heard and said with some regret.
"There's no other way. My side should be almost done. Let's hurry up and leave!" Gu Zheng shrugged and walked in the direction he came from.
"Young Master Gu, I have a strange magic treasure. Maybe it can temporarily interfere with this defense for a while." Seeing Gu Zheng and Xing Cai about to leave, Lan Yu gritted her teeth and said.
"You have such a good thing!" Xing Cai turned her head in surprise and said carelessly.
It didn't seem like something he could find.
"This is something I got by luck during an adventure. However, I only have one chance to use it. I don't think there's a better chance than this." Lan Yu took out a jade hairpin that looked like a woman's hairpin. It was silver in color and there were many golden runes engraved on it. It looked somewhat out of place.
However, there was a frightening fluctuation coming from above. It was not to be underestimated.
"Then what are we waiting for? If we don't use such a good thing, I'm afraid there won't be a better time than now," Xing Cai urged.
"Don't worry. As long as you open it, I'll give you half of it." Gu Zheng thought for a while and immediately gave up.
Even if the other party opened it, Gu Zheng would only give the other party half of it. If the other party didn't say anything and secretly picked it up, Gu Zheng wouldn't know, and there was nothing he could do.
"Alright!" Although Lan Yu felt that he had suffered a great loss, he didn't bicker about it when he thought about how the other party had saved his life.
The jade hairpin in his hand floated in front of Lan Yu's chest. He quickly touched a few golden runes on it. The runes on the jade hairpin suddenly lit up and surrounded the jade hairpin in layers.
"Go!"
Lan Yu shouted. The jade hairpin in the air flew straight towards the arched door.
Under Gu Zheng's gaze, the jade hairpin also disappeared when it hit the red barrier. Immediately after, a golden light suddenly rose from inside the barrier and quickly expanded outwards.
In the blink of an eye, a golden light barrier about ten zhang wide appeared above it. As it swayed, the golden light barrier in the middle slowly retreated to the side.
Soon, a hole of the same size appeared in front of them. The surrounding golden light was firmly protecting this hole. No matter how the red light barrier attacked it, it was still as steady as Mount Tai.
"This exit can only be maintained for about two hours. Before that, we have to get out. Otherwise, we'll be trapped here forever." Lan Yu reminded Gu Zheng who had walked to the side.
"It's enough!" Gu Zheng looked at the hole and said. Then, he took the lead and walked in, arriving beside the sapling.
"The medicinal effect isn't enough. It's still too young. But it's about time." Gu Zheng said to the two behind him.
At this moment, the golden lotus seed inside the flower had a trace of white under the golden light. Although it was only in the middle, it clearly hadn't matured yet. This greatly reduced the medicinal effect of the lotus seed, but it could still be considered a treasure.
Comparatively speaking, using Lan Yu's treasure here was a waste.
"It's fine. In any case, this thing can still be nurtured. It's not a loss." Lan Yu also knew and comforted him.
"There's a total of fourteen seeds. I'll take seven." Gu Zheng looked at the top. Then, with a swipe of his hand, seven of the seeds disappeared.
"You can take the rest. If you take the flower as well, it might be even more effective in the future." Gu Zheng said from the side. It could be considered as a concession.
After all, the other party had also used a precious treasure. This flower's medicinal effect wasn't inferior to the golden lotus seed.
Seeing this, Lan Yu didn't hold back. Just as she was about to take the flower as well, a laugh suddenly came from outside.
"Haha, how can you enjoy such a good thing for yourselves? These are all mine."
The voice was very soft at first, but in the end, it turned into a rolling sound wave, causing them to feel dizzy. Lan Yu's hand also froze. The palm that was about to reach them couldn't get any closer.
Gu Zheng's expression changed. Although this voice was unfamiliar, the other party didn't conceal his confidence. He could clearly sense the aura of a Grand Luo.
Gu Zheng immediately grabbed Xing Cai. Then, with his other hand, he quickly drew a few lines. A golden rune flashed in the air and imprinted itself on Gu Zheng and Xing Cai.
In the next instant, a ball of golden light surrounded Gu Zheng and Xing Cai. The two of them instantly disappeared.
On the other side, Lan Yu's face also paled. Her eyes were filled with fear, as if she knew who was chasing after them. She immediately gave up on the spoils of war in front of her.
She quickly muttered a few words. At the same time, she quickly made a hand seal. Her entire body suddenly sank into the ground. When Gu Zheng disappeared, she also disappeared.
Just as their figures disappeared, a burly man covered in blood Qi, wearing a blood-red robe, happened to block the only path. He looked at the empty courtyard with a sinister smile, as if he had already seen through their hiding place.
Although there was still a sufficient distance, Gu Zheng didn't dare to go there. The other party could definitely sense their existence. Thus, he silently hid to the side, trying to give the other party the impression that he had already left.
Although he couldn't see where Lan Yu was, he was sure that she was hiding somewhere.
After a dozen breaths of time, the sound of breaking through the air could be heard from outside. Then, a dozen people walked in from outside. This made Gu Zheng's pupils abruptly shrink.
Among them, he saw the three people he had fought with last time. It turned out that they were his subordinates.
Seeing his subordinates arrive, he looked back and immediately understood his intentions. Among them, four black-robed people lined up at the door, completely blocking Gu Zheng's path of escape.
As they followed Sect Master Xue in, Gu Zheng also found Yu Zi in the crowd. At this moment, she was tied behind Sect Master Xue.
There was also Lan Yue, who they had taken away, on the side. However, he didn't see Yu Chong. It seemed that he was most likely dead.
However, Gu Zheng didn't have the time to feel regret. He just deeply hid his figure.
"What a pity, there's only this much left." Sect Master Xue looked at the flower in front of him and said with some regret.
Then, he directly grabbed the top of the branch. With a crack, he broke it off and put it away.
This kind of thing was very useful to him, so he naturally wouldn't give it up.
"Are you going to come out yourselves, or do you want me to force you out?" Sect Master Xue glanced at the golden edge and saw that there was still a lot of time. As for the spiritual herbs outside, there was no need to worry. They couldn't run away. Now, he had to properly deal with these two people.
One was a little mouse that stole his things, and the other was a big mouse that interfered with his side. However, no matter what, the other party had no way to escape.
The air was silent, as if he was talking to the air.
"Hehe!" He didn't care. With himself as the center, his divine sense spread out in all directions.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng grabbed Xing Cai's hand and immediately moved. Traces of black Qi flowed along his palm. In almost the blink of an eye, a layer of faint black fog pervaded Xing Cai's body, just like Gu Zheng.
When the other party's divine sense swept over, he didn't find Gu Zheng and Xing Cai's figures at all.
However, at this moment, Sect Master Xue smiled slightly. Then, he suddenly stomped his foot. In a corner in the distance, a figure was forced out from below.
It was the somewhat frightened Lan Yu. As soon as he came out, he put on all kinds of defenses, as if this was the only way to comfort himself. He didn't have any of Jin Xian's peak demeanor.
However, in the eyes of Sect Master Xue, this was nothing at all.
Following a crisp sound, a three-inch blood-colored knife appeared in front of Sect Master Xue.
After leaving a few traces of blood in the air, the protective shield on Lan Yu's body shattered. At the same time, a blood-colored hole appeared on his body between his shoulder and knee.
The heavily injured Lan Yu instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. His body couldn't help but fall forward.
On the other side, Sect Master Xue's hand moved slightly. The ball of blood in the air suddenly stopped. In the next moment, it turned into streaks of blood and wrapped around Lan Yu's waist. Then, he pulled.
Lan Yun's figure was instantly caught in front of Sect Master Xue.
"Lord Xue, please spare my life. This is all the old Daoist's intention. I was also tricked! Lord, please judge clearly! "Lan Yu couldn't care about anything else and immediately wailed.
At this moment, the four streaks of blood in the air bound him in the air, causing him to fall in the air with his arms and legs spread out.
"That old Daoist said that it was you who instructed him to do this." Sect Master Xue wasn't in a hurry. He was enjoying the game of a cat clawing at a mouse.
"Impossible. He clearly told me to … White Brow Daoist. You've already caught him!" Lan Yu said subconsciously. Halfway through, he reacted and his face changed into a terrified expression.
"Of course. He has already gone to the place where he should be." Sect Master Xue said. A familiar tattered map appeared in his hand. There were still traces of blood on it.
"Do you know? In order to catch you guys, I've lost a lot! "
Lan Yu's pupils shrunk to the size of a needle. Without looking, he knew that White Brow Daoist was so unlucky to have fallen into his hands.
However, they were also unlucky. They had just seen the best thing when they were surrounded by the other party. If they had known earlier, they would have left. Who would have thought that the other party would actually come here?
It was too late to regret now. He only wanted to save his life.
"Lord Xue, I'm really innocent. I'm willing to be your slave as long as you let me go." Lan Yu begged for mercy.
"Slave as long as you want? You're not worthy! Where's the person who was with you? "Sect Master Xue retracted his divine sense. He didn't pay any attention to Lan Yu's begging and questioned him.
After searching repeatedly, he didn't miss a single corner. However, he still hadn't found the other party. This was strange.
"He discovered you before you came. After he hid, I didn't know either!" Lan Yu said without thinking.
"His movements are quite fast. It's really regrettable." Sect Master Xue had been watching Lan Yu the entire time. He saw the other party's reaction. He wasn't lying at all. He thought that Gu Zheng and the others had really escaped.
"Sect Master Xue, I'm sure that the other party definitely didn't leave this place." At this moment, Lan Yue came over from the side and said.
"Why are you so sure?!" Sect Master Xue was just about to get rid of Lan Yu. Hearing this, he turned his head and looked over.
"Didn't I fight with him a while ago? He has my life bug on him. No matter how deep he hides, as long as he's near me, I'll definitely be able to sense him. Although I don't know why, the bug's feedback is much weaker, it's always been very stable. That's why I'm sure. I dare to guarantee it with my life." Lan Yue quickly said.
"Oh? Then what method do you have to find them? "This time, Sect Master Xue was truly interested. To be able to hide in front of her, he indeed had some skill.
Casually patting forward, Lan Yu's eyes suddenly widened. With a muffled groan, his body was sent flying, heavily crashing into the red wall to the side.
His entire body powerlessly fell from above. Blood foamed from the corner of his mouth. His internal organs had been shattered by the other party's casual pat. His eyes were wide open, and his aura rapidly dropped.
If there were no accidents, even if he relied on his current body to hold on, he wouldn't be able to escape the fate of death.
"Sect Master Xue, I have a way to lure him out." Lan Yue saw Yu Zi from the corner of his eye and said to Sect Master Xue.
"This person and that old man have the same temperament. If we use this little captive as bait, the other party will definitely come out. Even if he doesn't come out, we won't lose anything. At worst, we'll just cover this place with all our strength. The other party is dead for sure."
"Alright, then we'll do as you say." How could Sect Master Xue not know what she was thinking? In any case, the situation was already under her control, so she could do whatever she wanted.
With a flick of her hand, the shackles on Yu Zi's body were broken, restoring her freedom.
Although Yu Zi's cultivation wasn't shackled, in the previous resistance, she had suffered heavy injuries. Even if she wanted to die together with the person in front of her, she didn't have the slightest chance.
However, at this time, she thought of what her grandfather had given her and her heart immediately became resolute.
At this time, Lan Yue grabbed Yu Zi's shoulder and abruptly pushed her forward, making her stand at the front. At the same time, a sharp longsword appeared in her hand. She pointed it at Yu Zi's back. If she moved in the slightest, she would mercilessly kill her.
"That person, listen to me. You've seen everything, so you should know what I want to do. I'll give you a chance. If you bravely stand out, then this cute little girl will die a very happy death. If not, I'll let you taste the most painful taste."
As Lan Yue spoke, at least a thousand ant-like creatures rushed out from her palm to prove that she wasn't joking.
"You only have half an incense stick's worth of time. Carefully consider it!"
Lan Yue said no more. Sect Master Xue and the others also quietly stood there.
"Time's up. It seems you're too disappointing."
Half an incense stick's worth of time passed in the blink of an eye. Lan Yue smiled malevolently. Just as he was about to take a step forward, a figure slowly emerged from a corner not far in front of him. If it wasn't Gu Zheng, who else could it be?
"What do you want?" Gu Zheng said in a deep voice, as if he didn't have the slightest fear.
He looked straight at Sect Master Xue and didn't even look at Lan Yue.
Sect Master Xue was just about to speak when she suddenly discovered that Yu Zi had erupted in front of her.
"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, my grandfather wouldn't have died!" That gut-wrenching shout stunned everyone. If they didn't know better, they would have thought that Gu Zheng had killed her grandfather.
"Why did you come here? Otherwise, we wouldn't have left and we wouldn't have met them. It's all your fault, it's all your fault!" Yu Zi seemed to attribute all of this to Gu Zheng.
Hearing this, Sect Master Xue's face revealed a meaningful smile. The red light in her hand dissipated. She really wanted to see what kind of trick Lan Yue was playing.
On the other side, Yu Zi was still speaking emotionally. Her tears flowed down her face, creating small splashes. Even Gu Zheng wanted to speak a few times, but he was stopped by her.
Lan Yue also looked across. He was incomparably carefree. He felt that Yu Zi had already lost her will because of her grandfather's death and had placed all the blame on Lan Yue.
At this time, Yu Zi seemed to be getting more and more agitated as she spoke. She could no longer suppress her trembling body and suddenly rushed towards the other party. A shocking aura erupted from her body as if she wanted to perish together with the other party.
Boom!
A huge explosion sounded in that place, and white fog rose from the ground.
Sect Master Xue was watching the joke. But after a few breaths, only Yu Zi's angry shout could be heard. There was no other sound.
With a wave of his sleeve, the white mist blocking his line of sight was instantly blown away. Only Yu Zi's aura was in decline.
At the place where the red light had originally been, there was now a five foot wide circular hole. As for Gu Zhengzheng, he was holding onto the dying Lan Yu with one hand and another woman following behind him. They were fleeing far away, disappearing from his senses in just several breaths of time.
"Promise me that you'll avenge my grandfather in the future!" At this moment, Yu Zi suddenly shouted. Her body rapidly swelled up, and a huge explosion occurred.
At this time, the golden light behind them began to shrink rapidly. Before anyone could react, except for the two gatekeepers who accidentally took a step back, everyone else was trapped here.
At this time, the storm of Yu Zi's self-destruction was completely released in this narrow space.
