The two figures groped about in front of the ruins. Although there was only a single cry, Gu Zheng had already determined the approximate location of the other party.
However, what puzzled Gu Zheng was that the cry that sounded like a Jade Night Bird made him think that Xiao Ye had come here.
One had to know that other than here, Gu Zheng really didn't know where such a creature could be found. It should be a powerful creature that had mutated here.
"Young Master Gu, look over there!" As they were walking, Xing Cai suddenly stopped. She tugged at Gu Zheng's clothes and pointed into the distance.
"What's there?" Gu Zheng looked over curiously. That place was a barren open space, but there was nothing on the ground. Apart from a piece of gravel, he really couldn't see anything.
However, since Xing Cai called out to him so solemnly, there must be a mystery. Gu Zheng looked carefully, but still couldn't find anything different.
Xing Cai sensed the surroundings, then walked over. She turned back to look at Gu Zheng, and signaled Gu Zheng to follow.
The two of them arrived at the seemingly normal place. Xing Cai waved her hand, and some raindrops scattered from her hand, landing on the ground in front of her.
Those raindrops fell on the ground, forming small blue layers. With so many of them connected together, it formed a layer of water on the surface.
As the pool fell, the layer of soil on top of it slowly disappeared, revealing a fresh demon beast corpse below.
Although it was only a part of the body, one could see the whole thing from it. This corpse was no less than three feet in size.
"There's no need to completely reveal it." Gu Zheng understood Xing Cai's doubts and stopped her from continuing to search.
The corpse itself wasn't scary. What was scary was that this corpse had died less than two days ago, and the blood on it was still steaming hot. Some terrifying residual aura was still lingering on it.
If he guessed correctly, a Grand Heavenly Realm cultivator had once tortured this pitiful creature.
Gu Zheng looked at the corpse in front of him slowly being covered again, and said to Xing Cai, "It seems that the other party is somewhat violent. Do you have any other way to hide? I'm afraid that I can't protect you."
"Hmm?" Xing Cai looked at Gu Zheng in confusion. After a while, she understood that Gu Zheng was worried that he wouldn't be able to protect her in the future.
Gu Zheng could tell from the corpse's aura that the other party was indeed very dangerous. With only the two of them here, it was no wonder that Gu Zheng was worried.
"I don't have any way to hide myself, or should I stay outside?" Xing Cai shook her head and suggested.
"No, if the other party discovers your existence, it will be a disaster. If our guess is wrong, the other party's location must be where I want to go. The way to save Ziyi is there." Gu Zheng voiced his worries.
"I understand, but what can we do?" Xing Cai knew that Gu Zheng's purpose in coming here was actually for that purple-clothed lady. She also knew why he was slowly searching around here. So it was because of this.
Gu Zheng raised his hand and a tower appeared in Gu Zheng's hand. Then, he said to Xing Cai, "I have a magic treasure here that can knock people in. However, there will be some restrictions."
Although he didn't want to do this, it was the only way to ensure her safety. As long as he didn't die, nothing would happen to her.
"I believe in you!" Xing Cai said generously. She was indeed a burden. It was a pity that she didn't grasp the opportunity to get out.
However, if she were to go out, she wouldn't have the opportunity to improve her strength. There were gains and losses.
"Relax, I will bring you out. When the time is right, I will let you out." Gu Zheng controlled the tower. After saying that, a ray of light shone on Xing Cai's body.
The light dissipated, and Xing Cai's figure also disappeared from the spot.
After looking at Xing Cai's situation and seeing that there were no problems, Gu Zheng got up and rushed over.
"Hurry up and get to work. If anyone is blind, you will end up like that demonic beast. Don't think that I have a good temper. Who knows how many people have died in my hands." A figure stood behind, stepping on a small Jade Night Bird and flying steadily in the sky. It seemed like he was using it as a flying tool.
He had a black gold whip in his hand. He pointed to the front and said loudly.
At this time, in the sky in front of him, a huge Jade Night Bird was constantly waving out rays of light of different colors towards a huge empty space in front of it, making "popping" sounds in the air.
There was also a green silkworm that was at least five feet long. Its wrinkled skin was emitting a green light. It was floating in the air, and huge wind blades like stone grindstones were constantly spewing out from it. It was densely packed and shot towards the opposite side.
Not only the two of them, but there was also an aquatic creature that looked like a giant salamander on the ground. At this time, she was standing on the ground, surrounded by water mist. Her two short fins were constantly waving, and water arrows were constantly flashing in the air, bombarding in front of her.
There was a huge palace complex in front of them. Although it looked damaged from the outside, there were still many intact.
However, a huge shield blocked the outside, blocking all prying eyes. But after the previous damage, the originally strong defense was not as strong as before.
After being found by this person, he could have broken it long ago with his strength. But he just didn't want to let these demonic beasts that he had forcefully captured break it down bit by bit. In any case, no one here was stronger than him, and no one would come in. He had all the time in the world.
Of course, in order to control them, each of them had some small things installed on them. He wasn't afraid that they would dare to resist. He could easily injure them. At that time, whether they lived or died would depend on his mood.
"I, Uncle Gao, will give you guys a treat here. As long as you break this shield, you guys can rest for a week. Even if I, Uncle Gao, am not a good person, I still keep my word." Looking at the shield in front of him getting dimmer and dimmer, it seemed like it would be broken soon. Uncle Gao suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to the three demonic beasts in front of him.
At this time, the three demonic beasts had been attacking non-stop for so many days. After breaking the shield, they probably wouldn't have much energy left. He could take the opportunity to give them some benefits.
He still understood the principle of using a stick and a carrot.
After the three demonic beasts heard this, their attacking speed increased by a notch. This made Uncle Gao think that his little scheme was not bad.
He stepped on the void and walked over from the smaller Jade Night Bird. He landed below and prepared to enter. He was also very curious about what was inside.
On the sealed battlefield, there must be something that tempted people. Especially this place. He had already observed all the places. Now, this was the only place that was intact.
It was said that two Grand Heavenly Realm experts died together inside. Then, their belongings must still be inside. Just thinking about it made him excited.
In a damaged palace far away, he raised his head and looked over. He frowned. He didn't expect to see Xiao Ye and the rest here. It seemed like they were forcefully captured.
This human called Uncle Gao, although his cultivation was only in the early stage of Grand Heavenly Realm, not to mention compared to others, if Elder Gu's spiritual body wasn't injured, it would be easy to take him down.
But now, Zi Yi was in a deep slumber. Elder Gu also used a special method to enter a certain ethereal state. This way, she could recover the damaged Black Dragon's good soul to the greatest extent.
However, in the agreement with the other party, the other party had already used a secret method to allow Gu Zheng to borrow her strength. But the activation condition was quite special. It could only be used in the Black Dragon's inner palace.
Her explanation was that there was an invisible force that they could borrow in the inner palace. This could protect her soul to the greatest extent. If they were to use it outside, not only would the effect be reduced, it would also bring greater harm to both parties.
And in the inner palace, they could borrow it almost endlessly.
Although Gu Zheng didn't know why, he knew that his plan to borrow the strength of both sides had failed. So, he had to be careful.
Gu Zheng had been hiding here quietly for a while. He would continue to wait.
Although he really wanted to rescue them now, now wasn't the right time.
After the other party broke through this defense, he just needed to sneak in and save Ren Xue. Then, he would release Zi Yi. At that time, he wouldn't have to fear the other party at all. If the other party dared to disagree, he could forcefully rescue them.
After a while, after the layer of shield flickered a few times, it finally couldn't withstand the continuous attacks. Accompanied by the sound of glass shattering, a large amount of light dissipated in the air.
"Haha, good, good. You can all rest outside for a while." Uncle Gao said to the few monsters with a happy expression. He had no intention of bringing them in at all, nor was he worried that they would escape.
After the monsters heard this, they directly dismissed the magic on their bodies and lay on the ground to rest.
And the little night bird flew to the big night bird's side and whined a few times in a low voice. It seemed to be saying something.
That Uncle Gao didn't even look at them and directly walked inside. However, when he entered, he actually cast out a light screen, completely blocking the passage.
However, Gu Zheng curled his lips. He could enter from where he wanted to from the wall. If he insisted on entering from the front door, then he would be stupid.
Because of the wall, Gu Zheng didn't know where the other party went. However, he still quietly waited until he heard a loud explosion near the gate. Only then did he quietly come out from his hiding place.
At this time, he was still concealing his aura and walked towards Xiao Ye and the others. Except for them, they were all in a state of feigning sleep. If he was careful, they wouldn't be able to sense his existence.
On their necks, there were two necklaces emitting black aura. It seemed that this thing was controlling them. As long as he helped them get rid of it, they would be out of danger.
"Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, shh! Quiet, quiet. "Gu Zheng quietly came over and said to the two of them.
"Swish"
Four eyes of different sizes turned over at the same time. Xiao Ye's eyes were clearly filled with joy. It seemed that he was very excited to see Gu Zheng. He seemed to want to say something but was stopped by Gu Zheng.
Xiao Ye's eyes were also filled with joy. However, he knew that he had to be careful. Layers of light even rose from the surface of his body, making him look like he was resting. This was to cover up Gu Zheng's aura to a greater extent.
"Don't be impatient. I will definitely save you. However, first I have to get rid of your shackles." Gu Zheng felt that it was better to help them get rid of their shackles first.
Gu Zheng reached out and touched the top of Xiao Ye's head. Feeling that hard and evil necklaces, he carefully examined them and felt confident.
Perhaps it was because of Uncle Gao's carelessness. He had only used his blood to refine them. Even so, without the help of others, they definitely wouldn't be able to help each other remove the necklaces. Because before they could remove them, they would be sensed by the other party.
Right now, as long as they were careful, they would definitely be able to paralyze the other party for a short period of time so that he wouldn't know that the two necklaces had gone out of control.
By the time he discovered them, Xiao Chen would probably have already brought them out.
Traces of black Qi emerged from Gu Zheng's hand and quickly covered the necklaces on Xiao Ye's body. This was where his confidence came from. Using the special characteristics of his fiendish energy, he could completely simulate it.
A drop of fresh blood floated out from the necklaces. Gu Zheng used a ball of black Qi to carefully wrap it up. He then took a drop of Xiao Ye's blood and put it in. This gave him an illusion that Xiao Ye was still under his control.
As for the rest of the necklaces, Gu Zheng began to slowly wear them down.
If Xiao Chen didn't come out to take a look, he definitely wouldn't be able to discover it in a short time. If he didn't use his fiendish energy, he would be exposed as soon as he touched it.
In a short five minutes, Gu Zheng was extremely nervous. He was afraid that something would go wrong. However, it was more daunting than dangerous. He finally removed Xiao Ye's shackles.
The layer of black Qi that wrapped around the two people's blood followed Gu Zheng's thought and a phantom of Xiao Ye appeared beside it. It wrapped around the black Qi and lay on the ground, pretending to rest.
Gu Zheng didn't stop there. He quickly went to help Xiao Ye remove the thing that trapped them.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, a figure quietly slipped away with a big and a small one. Even though their movements were small, the movement of their bodies caused the few people beside them to wake up at the same time.
The two beasts looked at the fantasy at the side and saw that the shackles on Xiao Ye's body were gone. They didn't shout to attract Uncle Gao's attention. Instead, they looked at Gu Zheng with a longing gaze, hoping that he would help them break free.
Looking at their pitiful eyes, Gu Zheng braced himself and shook his head at them. He then pointed at the phantom and inside, indicating that if there were more, the other party would definitely be able to sense the difference.
When the two beasts saw Gu Zheng's rejection, the hope in their eyes immediately disappeared. They then lay on the ground, closed their eyes, and continued to lie on the ground as if they didn't see anything.
Gu Zheng sighed in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't have a way. He just didn't want to go against the other party. It would be best if he could avoid a fight.
Moreover, if he really helped them, Gu Zheng was 90% sure that when he touched the last beast, the other party would be able to sense the difference even if they didn't notice it.
To be honest, he had secretly used their auras in Xiao Ye's phantom so that they didn't look so empty.
There was no other way. Gu Zheng led Xiao Ye and the others to sneak away from the side. He was going to hide at the side and put Xiao Ye and the others away first.
However, he had only taken a few steps when suddenly, a sharp killing intent came from behind. Gu Zheng turned his head to look. That Uncle Gao was standing at the door, looking at him with a face full of killing intent.
Gu Zheng was a little dumbfounded. He was sure that he didn't give himself away at all. However, the other party appeared outside. There was only one possibility. The other party had just explored a place and rescued him. He just happened to catch Gu Zheng who hadn't gone far.
"Hurry up and run!"
Having no time to be depressed, Gu Zheng immediately said to Xiao Ye beside him. His entire body soared into the sky and flew towards the distance at an extremely fast speed.
Xiao Ye and Da Ye's bodies flashed at almost the same time. They also ran in other directions.
They knew that they shouldn't squeeze together to escape.
That Uncle Gao glanced at the phantom and felt that the two beasts had lost the connection in his heart. He snorted coldly in his heart. A white light shook out from his hand and chased after Gu Zheng at an extremely fast speed.
Gu Zheng turned his head to look. A white rope was rapidly approaching him, even though he had already increased his speed to the limit.
However, the distance between the two was rapidly closing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few short breaths, it was almost behind Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng was greatly shocked in his heart. He didn't care about his heartache. Wisps of black gas appeared on his body. His entire speed quickly climbed here. The distance between the two actually began to slowly expand.
That Uncle Gao looked at Gu Zheng who was already a black dot. He snorted coldly in his heart. His hand pointed in front of him. A wave of ripples rose in front of him.
At the same time, the white rope that was following closely behind Gu Zheng flashed with white light. Its speed suddenly accelerated. In an instant, it caught up with Gu Zheng and wrapped around him from behind.
Gu Zheng didn't hesitate. His entire body shook. More than ten figures of Gu Zheng jumped out from the air and fled in all directions.
However, what Gu Zheng didn't expect was that the rope also flashed slightly in the air. Many ropes also jumped out and wrapped around the surroundings.
In an instant, the phantoms that filled the sky dissipated. A Gu Zheng who was firmly bound by the white rope appeared in the air. An invisible force quickly grabbed him and pulled him back.
"Who the hell are you? Hurry up and let go of me. Do you know who's behind me? Even if you're in the early stage of the Grand Immortal Realm, you'll still have to wait for death. "Gu Zheng spoke with a threatening tone.
"Not bad, not bad. However, you've really underestimated me. Do you think your little trick will work?" Uncle Gao's originally smiling face suddenly tensed up. He said to Gu Zheng in front of him.
As soon as his voice fell, his figure disappeared from where he was and appeared at the last position where he caught sight of Gu Zheng. He fiercely punched forward.
Bang!
A figure emerged from the air. His palms were crossed in front of his chest. Five light spots appeared in the palms that were about to collide. Then, Uncle Gao's fist had already collided.
The huge force caused Gu Zheng's body to tremble. He was sent flying backward.
Before Gu Zheng could react and adjust his body, a figure appeared in front of Gu Zheng again and punched again.
"If you want to run, you'll have to ask me first!"
Gu Zheng's figure flew out uncontrollably again.
Bang, bang, bang.
After a few consecutive heavy blows, Gu Zheng's figure returned to the front of the palace.
This time, Uncle Gao didn't chase after him again. He directly floated in the air and looked at Gu Zheng with a smile.
"What do you want?!" Gu Zheng suppressed the blood in his throat and shouted at Uncle Gao.
