"I don't think it's possible. How could the Scarlet Soul Pill be refined in just a few days? This place has only been open for a few days. Perhaps it's a pill that's very important to him." Lan Yu said.
Xing Cai thought about it and agreed. If the Scarlet Soul Pill could be refined so casually, wouldn't there be Grand Heavenly Immortals everywhere? Her father also said that even in the past, it was extremely precious. Basically, there wouldn't be many left. It was also a reward that everyone wanted to obtain.
Although it was just a probability, it still made everyone excited. That was because Lord Black Dragon had instilled a trace of thoughts towards Grand Heavenly Immortals. Even if he didn't break through, it would give him a way to get infinitely close to Grand Heavenly Immortals.
How could a mere peak Jin Xian refine such a heaven-defying pill? Not everyone had the Great Dao bestowed by a Quasi-Sage. Even Gu Zheng only had some essence blood.
Xing Cai circled around the alchemy furnace and looked at it with interest. Without the daoist's control, the runes on it were about to weaken.
"Why don't I see what's inside?" At this moment, Xing Cai suddenly reached out and grabbed a pill. Exerting her strength, the entire alchemy furnace stood upright.
Before Gu Zheng could say anything, a loud shout suddenly came from the sky.
"That's mine. Put it down!"
Looking up, the daoist who was flickering with blood light had used some unknown method to force the blood-colored puppet back. He was looking at Xing Cai with a burning gaze. The red light in his eyes could be seen clearly.
Xing Cai looked at Gu Zheng at a loss. She didn't know how he could be so tyrannical.
However, seeing that Xing Cai was still holding onto the alchemy furnace, the daoist rushed over with a burst of blood light.
"Whoosh!"
The Earth Fire, which had been gradually decreasing, suddenly surged again when he passed by. Scorching flames surged out from below. As the Daoist made a grabbing motion, all the flames were gathered in his hand. Then, he threw it at Xing Cai's location. He turned around and once again engaged in battle with the blood-red puppet that was chasing after him.
The ball of flames vibrated in the air and turned into a fire dragon with an astonishing aura. It rushed towards Xing Cai.
Her opponent's speed was so fast that all of this happened in the blink of an eye. Xing Cai couldn't react in time and could only watch as the fire dragon arrived in front of her. Her breathing became sluggish, and she could feel the scorching temperature of her opponent's body, making her feel as if her entire body was being roasted.
At this moment, the five jade bracelets suddenly floated in front of Xing Cai, and layers of protective shields quickly superimposed. In almost the blink of an eye, layers upon layers of protective shields surrounded Xing Cai.
A mysterious aura was emitted from it, and as the five rings suddenly merged together, a layer of sparkling and translucent crystal stones appeared in front of the fire dragon.
Boom!
Even with Gu Zheng's protection, Xing Cai could feel the astonishing heat, but she was able to endure it.
Xing Cai smiled faintly. Just as she was about to retreat, a bloody hand suddenly slammed down on the crystal in front of her. Immediately, all the flames disappeared, revealing the bloody figure of the Daoist.
Creak creak!
The entire crystal in front of him had almost shattered into a ball. It barely managed to block his path, and the spiritual light on it had completely disappeared.
In the next moment, the Daoist raised his fist again and smashed it towards Xing Cai's head.
All of this happened too quickly. Even though Gu Zheng was right beside her, he couldn't save her. Moreover, the jade bracelets were damaged, causing him to suffer a backlash. He could only stare at the Daoist with bloodshot eyes.
Xing Cai stared blankly at the palm in front of her. She didn't think about anything. Her mind was blank. The endless aura of death had made her completely lose her ability to think.
However, seeing the fist about to fall, she still subconsciously dodged to the side, hiding her whole body behind the alchemy furnace.
The Daoist's heavy fist fell. Just as it was about to hit the alchemy furnace, his originally blood-red eyes strangely disappeared. The pitch-black bead looked in front of him with a trace of reluctance. The moment it was about to hit, it stopped abruptly on the surface of the alchemy furnace.
If he smashed down with his hammer, not to mention Xing Cai behind him, even Gu Zheng and Lan Yu would have to suffer the aftermath of his attack. He might even be able to kill the three of them in an instant.
Xing Cai's eyes were tightly closed, and her body was dripping with sweat. Just when she thought she was going to die, the Daoist's attack didn't come down. Moreover, she heard a soft sound. She quickly opened her eyes and was shocked.
A large blood-red hand pierced through the Daoist's chest from the back. In the hand was the still beating heart.
The Daoist maintained his posture and didn't move at all. The red light on his body was retracting at an extremely fast speed.
Before the pair of hands could retract, the Daoist's body turned into a pile of ashes and dissipated in the air.
He was already at his limit. After receiving such a heavy blow, he couldn't hold on and turned into ashes. It was as if he couldn't die again.
"That was close!" At this time, Gu Zheng walked forward and said to the frightened Xing Cai.
"Huhu!" Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Xing Cai came back to her senses. She gasped for breath and wanted to fall to the ground. However, Gu Zheng immediately held her shoulder. In addition, his other hand was only holding on to the side of the alchemy furnace, so she didn't fall.
"I've made a fool of myself. This time, I really escaped by the skin of my teeth!" Xing Cai looked at the alchemy furnace with lingering fear. If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't bear to destroy the alchemy furnace, she might have already died.
"Let's hurry and leave this place!" Gu Zheng saw that there was no one around, but he felt a sense of danger approaching.
"There's no danger right now. Why don't we rest for a while before leaving!" Lan Yu said from the side.
"I keep feeling that those guys have already caught up. You have to know that we've already been delayed here for a long time. Even if we recover to our peak, can we still fight them head on?" Gu Zheng said as he quickly walked towards the center.
Lan Yu immediately choked. Only now did she remember that there was still a group of people chasing after her. If she was caught by them, she wouldn't be any different from when she was at her peak. At most, she would struggle at death's door for a while, but the end result would still be certain.
"Puchi"
A loud steam sound attracted Lan Yu's attention. There was also a faintly discernible fragrance. He focused his eyes and saw that Xing Cai had already used her magic to open the lid of the alchemy furnace, releasing the medicinal fragrance that had been suppressed inside.
Xing Cai flew in the air and looked down with a pleasantly surprised expression. Then, she took out a medicinal pill bottle and began to collect the things inside.
On the other side, Gu Zheng went down from the extinguished earth fire. Through a hidden place, he took out a dark golden small square box. At this moment, there were still flowing lights on top of it. It seemed that the things inside were still sealed.
"Got it!" Gu Zheng was also delighted. Then, he flew outside.
This medicinal pill was once a reward from the almighty human race, but it was useless. Then, it was placed here in an attempt to study the secrets within.
Now that he had taken it, it seemed that they had no use for it.
As soon as he came out, Gu Zheng saw Xing Cai looking at the jade bottle in her hand strangely. She seemed to be puzzled about something, but when she saw that the lid of the alchemy furnace had already been opened, she knew that she had taken the things from inside.
"What's wrong? Could it be that the things inside are really Scarlet Soul Pills? "Gu Zheng deliberately said.
"How is that possible?" Xing Cai glanced at Gu Zheng, then handed over the two jade bottles and said strangely.
"Look, this is the almost formed medicinal pill inside. Both of them are very strange. Moreover, I also found some waste pills inside. It seems that the two of them have fused together."
Xing Cai said as a cracked medicinal pill appeared in her hand. There was still a trace of seven-colored light on it, but the medicinal pill had lost its spirituality and was useless.
Gu Zheng recognized that the colorful light was the same as the clouds and mist in the sky at that time. It seemed to be a kind of neutralization.
Gu Zheng looked at the two jade bottles. There were more than ten medicinal pills inside each of them.
One of them was completely white and was the size of a thumb. There was a strange aura circulating on it. Gu Zheng felt that it seemed to be suitable for treating some filthy things.
When he saw the other one, Gu Zheng also understood why Xing Cai's expression was so strange. It was because this jade bottle actually contained a pitch-black medicinal pill of the same size.
However, this medicinal pill was not poisonous. It was emitting a kind of evil power, which was completely opposite to the medicinal pill just now.
"Why did the other party want to forcibly fuse these two things? Could it be that someone wants to use it?" Xing Cai asked strangely.
Two completely painless medicinal pills, with the help of many auxiliary medicines, actually wanted to fuse together. It really made people unable to figure out what the other party was trying to do.
"I don't know, you put it away first! Let's leave here first. "Gu Zheng directly said to the two of them.
They also knew that Gu Zheng had already obtained it and followed Gu Zheng to the back.
As for the red puppet, it also followed behind Gu Zheng and did not say anything.
Behind them was the same passage as when they came. Under their acceleration, they soon arrived at the same door.
However, at this moment, the door was indeed open. Gu Zheng didn't care and directly walked out.
After arriving here, there weren't as many traps as before. There were empty rooms everywhere. Those Spirit Gathering Runes were engraved everywhere. Every room was filled with rich Spirit Qi.
If they were to treat their injuries here, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort. However, they also knew that it was impossible to stay here. They could only hurry along while trying to absorb as much Spirit Qi as possible to replenish themselves.
They hurriedly passed through these large halls and quickly arrived at the end of the large hall. In the two corners of a relatively spacious hall, there were two shining Teleportation Arrays.
"Phew, we're finally here. This time, Fellow Blue Rain, you can finally leave this place. The Teleportation Array on the left is the only one that can completely leave this place. Perhaps it's the only one we know of. The others can't leave this place at all." Gu Zheng arrived here and also let out a sigh of relief.
"That's good. I won't accompany you for the rest. This place is too dangerous. I'd better leave obediently!" Lan Yu said with some regret.
On the way here, Gu Zheng had already asked him this question. He also took the initiative to leave this place. Now that he'd gained enough, he didn't want to extravagantly ask for anything better.
"When you go out, be careful. There are probably many people outside. You should rest a little and quickly leave this place. I keep feeling that something big will happen here." Gu Zheng said to Lan Yu.
"Of course. This time, I'll probably have to find a place to rest for a long time. Thank you for saving my life so many times!" Lan Yu said gratefully as he bowed to Gu Zheng.
If Gu Zheng hadn't saved him, he was afraid that he would have been trapped in that illusion and become one of them.
"It's nothing much. Let me help you open the passage out." Gu Zheng said with a smile. At the same time, he controlled the blood-red puppet to walk in.
They first went to the teleportation formation on the right. This place led directly to the Inheritance Realm above. In the Tongguang Inheritance Realm, they continued to move towards the center.
In other words, they'd been running around in circles for such a long time. They hadn't even gotten a little closer.
Gu Zheng's group stood in the middle of the hall and watched as the blood-red puppet walked over. When it approached the teleportation formation, it directly punched it.
"Kacha!"
A transparent barrier appeared. Soon after, it shattered into a layer of light and dissipated. After doing all this, the puppet walked to the other side.
The two teleportation formations had a layer of not very sturdy barrier around them. Naturally, it was to conceal their aura. It would recover in about a day.
If Gu Zheng's group were to break it, it would take them at least half a day. Some of the blood-red puppets had to be carefully controlled so that they wouldn't damage the teleportation formation.
"It's a pity that this big guy is unable to leave with us. Otherwise, we would be able to do whatever we want in this place. I am also very curious as to who placed this thing here. Wouldn't it be a waste to leave it here to guard this place?" Gu Zheng said somewhat regretfully.
"No matter what the other party thinks, at least they helped us. Otherwise, we'd be in trouble this time." Xing Cai said. When she faced that Daoist, it was truly terrifying. And Gu Zheng had actually stalled him for so long.
Of course, she didn't know that the rational Daoist back then wasn't so terrifying.
"Mm, the teleportation formation has been broken. Then, Fellow Daoist Lan, let's part ways here!" Gu Zheng still had to continue. Now wasn't the time to leave.
"Young Master Gu, Young Miss Xing Cai, goodbye!" Lan Yu gave the two of them a deep look, then walked towards the teleportation formation without looking back.
As his figure disappeared, he had already left. Perhaps he would appear in another place outside.
"You should leave too. You've seen the road ahead. It's really too dangerous. I don't have enough confidence to protect you." Gu Zheng said to Xing Cai.
"Mm, I know. I definitely won't implicate you." Xing Cai didn't have that set now. She had regained her previous cultivation.
Jin Xian's late stage cultivation shouldn't be weaker than this. She could probably only beat those low-level puppets.
Since that was the case, Xing Cai didn't insist. She directly walked towards the teleportation formation.
However, just as she took a step out, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from an empty place beside her. Holding a black light, it rushed towards the teleportation formation not far away.
It happened so suddenly that Gu Zheng didn't notice anyone else here. There was no way he could stop the other party.
Boom!
The black mist in the black shadow's hand directly smashed towards the teleportation formation. Large amounts of light continuously escaped from the teleportation formation, and the entire formation began to shake.
Seeing the other party raise the weapon in his hand again, the blood-red puppet's figure instantly appeared behind him and grabbed at his head.
In the face of life and death, the black-clothed person actually ignored the danger behind him and threw the weapon in his hand again. A large amount of black mist mixed with a trace of blood shot towards the teleportation formation in front of him.
Crack!
Bang!
Almost at the same time, a finger-sized crack appeared in the middle of the teleportation formation. The light above the teleportation formation rapidly dimmed. At the same time, the black-clothed person's head was crushed.
The giant hand even took advantage of the momentum to slap down. The black-clothed person's body immediately turned into a pile of flesh and blood. He couldn't be more dead.
"When did they sneak in?" Gu Zheng looked over with an ashen face. When the other party appeared at the same time, he pulled Xing Cai and quickly rushed towards the only teleportation formation.
Sure enough, when Gu Zheng was halfway there, a black shadow also burst out from not far away. However, it seemed to be about the same distance as Gu Zheng.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng sped up. Before the other party arrived, he arrived here first and blocked the hand of the Blood Sect's sect master. With a light chant, a huge golden sword instantly appeared in front of Gu Zheng's eyes and slashed towards the other party.
The other party was shocked. Under the black mist in his hand, a huge black shield appeared in front of him.
Puchi!
The black mist in front of him was instantly cut open, and the figure behind it had already disappeared.
Gu Zheng had already expected this. At the same time, his whole body turned back and struck towards the void in front of him. When a black shadow appeared, it just happened to be imprinted on the other party's chest.
The other party spat out a mouthful of blood. His whole body was directly sent flying. After rolling on the ground, he turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared in front of Gu Zheng's eyes.
"They came so quickly. We were almost trapped here to death." Xing Cai was also vigilant as she stood to the side and looked around.
What made her feel helpless was that it seemed like she couldn't get out. Fortunately, Lan Yu had left early. Otherwise, she would also be trapped here.
"Let's go now!" Gu Zheng looked around the other party. Unexpectedly, he couldn't find any trace of them. He immediately pulled Xing Cai and retreated.
However, as soon as he moved, not far from him, two black shadows immediately closed in on Gu Zheng. If Gu Zheng dared to teleport, they would immediately come and destroy it. They would directly kill Gu Zheng and the others in the spatial turbulence.
Gu Zheng's eyes flashed. His whole body directly appeared in front of one of the black shadows. Without saying a word, he raised his fist and punched towards the other party.
The other party's reaction wasn't slow. He seemed to understand that Gu Zheng was trying to lure them out. He used one hand to block in front of him and the other to attack Gu Zheng's abdomen.
Meanwhile, the other person pounced towards Xing Cai. Helpless, Gu Zheng could only give up and quickly turn back. With Xing Cai's current state, it wouldn't take more than a few rounds for the other party to close in and kill her.
When the other party saw Gu Zheng return, he didn't continue with the confinement. The two people once again appeared in a black mist and disappeared.
The other party was clearly trying to stall for time.
