Under the beautiful sky, Gu Zheng and the others were moving forward at an extremely fast speed.
After dealing with the Tree Man, Gu Zheng searched for a while and finally came to the teleportation formation on the other side. He found traces of a teleportation formation and confirmed that the other party had left this place.
Then, he found that the other party had ransacked this place and did not leave anything good behind. Hence, he left with the rest of them.
When they came to this beautiful place, they saw a large hall from afar. However, it would take at least half a day to get there. Hence, Xing Cai asked about the situation of the battle.
"Young Master Gu, did that person really run away?" Xing Cai was bewildered after listening to the previous battle, as if she couldn't believe that a Grand Luo who had tortured them to death just ran away.
"Of course, he didn't run away and stayed to wait for death. If I were in that situation, I would also run away. However, I wouldn't be as shameless as the other party. Only then can I live longer." Gu Zheng didn't think much of it. Although they were enemies, he didn't feel that the other party's actions were wrong.
However, it could be seen that the other party was definitely a decisive person.
"Haha, Young Master Gu, you can protect yourself now. It seems that my previous worries were unnecessary. Let's part ways when we reach the Black Dragon Palace. Thank you for giving me this bamboo. Although it's a little damaged, it's still a good thing for me." Gu Renxue was holding an emerald green bamboo, but it was a little regretful that the upper half was missing.
"Sure, thank you for your help to Ziyi. As for this bamboo, we can't use it anyway. It's just right to give it to you." Gu Zheng also smiled. Of course, he could see the desire in her eyes at that time. It was probably very useful to her.
"Young Master Gu, you're too polite. You can give this to Ziyi later. It's still useful to her. This and the earring are a set. How they fuse together will be the other half in her body." Ren Xue handed over a necklace and gestured for Gu Zheng to take it.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Gu Zheng glanced at it and didn't see anything special. However, since the other party took the necklace, it was equivalent to not owing him a favor. It seemed that this necklace must be extraordinary. Hence, he accepted it.
Half a day later, as they chatted along the way, they approached the front of the Black Dragon Hall. Their speed was not as fast as before.
"I'll be leaving first. I still have some things to do." At this moment, Ren Xue directly proposed to leave.
"Are you not going in?" Xing Cai asked curiously.
"This isn't the only way in. I know more about this than you. The next time we meet, I don't want to be your enemy." Ren Xue chuckled, and then her figure turned into a cloud of pink mist in the air, and disappeared in front of Gu Zheng and the others.
"It's good that she's gone. She won't come out and cause trouble for us." Ma Lian looked at Ren Xue who had disappeared and said angrily.
From the beginning, the three of them had been silent. Because they were with their sworn enemy, they always felt awkward. They only felt better after she left.
"It doesn't matter whether we cause trouble or not. What's important is that we need to follow Young Master Gu in and complete Elder Gu's mission," Ma Zhu said from the side.
"Yes, yes. Young Master Gu, let's hurry over." You Hao said from the side.
"Let's go!" Gu Zheng also discovered that a large number of people had gathered here before, but it was meaningless.
Now, the five of them continued to fly forward. As for the few spirit pets, they had been placed in the cauldron pagoda by Gu Zheng. They were too conspicuous here, and there was no suppression of battle strength. It was better to stay inside. This point had been discussed with them before.
Da Ye didn't have any objections, and Xiao Ye didn't have any objections either. As for the salamander, it didn't make any sound.
Soon, they arrived outside the hall. At this moment, the surroundings were in a mess, as if a great battle had happened. There was still a terrifying aura left in the air.
Vaguely, they could hear sounds of movement coming from inside. It seemed like someone had violently broken something.
"They have already entered. Young Master Gu, do you want to take a shortcut that can bypass the outer area and directly enter the core?" At this moment, You Hao suddenly asked.
"Oh? How do you know what's going on inside? "Gu Zheng glanced at him and asked curiously.
"Elder Gu told me." You Hao didn't hide it and pointed at Gu Zheng's chest.
"I see. Then what's outside? Why do you have to specifically mention it? "Gu Zheng looked at his chest thoughtfully. It seemed that she had been paying attention to the outside.
However, Elder Gu couldn't appear outside now. The main reason was to protect the last trace of good soul. If she appeared outside, with her current spirit body cultivation and her main focus on protecting the good soul, she wouldn't be able to use 20% of her strength.
In the eyes of some people, this was a great temptation. Therefore, she signed this agreement with Gu Zheng.
Of course, Gu Zheng knew the specific reason. It was because Elder Gu couldn't live for long. In the long years, her spirit had been riddled with holes. She was only relying on this special place in the immortal mansion and a special item to maintain everything she had today.
Once she left this place, she would probably turn into ashes in a day's time.
Otherwise, she could casually find a physical body. Even if she couldn't use all of her strength, just a majority of her strength would be enough to suppress others. After all, her previous cultivation was at the late stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm. That Goblin was also at the late stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm.
"The outside is surrounded by Lord Black Dragon's previous collection. Every one of them isn't ordinary. Now that those thieves have already broken in, they should be plundering. However, if you need, we can also pass through from the outside and collect some hidden items. At least, Elder Gu has already told me how to open it." You Hao continued.
Gu Zheng looked at the few people around him who were watching him make a decision. After pondering for a while, he said, "Let's not go around.
"It's best that we don't take a detour. It seems that the other party has not been in there for long. If we walk in front, it's very likely that we won't be able to meet Uncle Xing."
He remembered that Xing Ba didn't seem to want to enter the hall. He had to rush to tell him that they were safe so that he wouldn't worry.
"By the way, how do we get out of here?" Gu Zheng suddenly asked a crucial question.
"There aren't any teleportation arrays to leave here. However, there are teleportation arrays to other places inside. We can leave indirectly." You Hao immediately said.
"Forget it. Let's talk about it later. Let's go in." When Gu Zheng heard this, he would definitely talk about it when the time came.
.....
The outer perimeter of the Black Dragon Palace was quite simple on the outside because the entire area was clearly divided into four areas. However, there was a passage in the middle that was very wide, almost twenty feet wide. Spirit stones like the ones on the altar covered the ground. Just by walking on it, one could feel an endless stream of pure Spirit Qi coming from it.
If one walked in a straight line, one could directly enter the inner hall. There was no need to take a detour at all. It was very simple.
It was quite complicated because the inside of the four regions was even bigger, and each of them was like a city. Moreover, the routes inside were very complicated, and it was like a maze. This was because everything inside had been built by the Black Dragon, and he could go anywhere he wanted.
In the end, perhaps only the Black Dragon could remember the routes inside.
However, usually, no one would go in. Even if there were rewards, the Black Dragon would go in personally to take them. It was just that in the past, there were people who were lucky enough to go in and clean the place. There were also people who were lucky enough to go in. When they came out, they could only shake their heads. This showed how complicated the situation inside was.
At this time, in a corner in the northwest direction, in a random palace, three scattered people who clearly knew each other were working together to open the seal of the hall inside.
The seal inside was not very strong. It could be opened with a little effort. Previously, they had already taken out two treasures, which made them feel that this trip was not in vain.
However, this time, they chose a hall that looked different from the other halls. It looked more majestic. They guessed that there should be even better things hidden inside. They were very excited.
"It's open!"
As they carefully continued to open the seal outside, the protective shield of the guards outside flickered a few times and finally disappeared. One of them cheered and immediately rushed in.
The other two people beside him did not mind. After all, it was his turn this time. It would be their turn next. There were enough treasures here, so much so that they would not be jealous of others.
"Ouch!"
The companion from earlier went in quickly and also went out quickly. In an instant, his figure flew out from the inside.
"What's going on?" The person beside him was shocked and immediately ran over to ask.
A thumb-sized hole appeared on that person's abdomen. There was frost around it that was still spreading, as if he had been injured by some cold attribute.
"That magic treasure seems to be quite spiritual. I feel like I am not fated to have it, so I suffered a counterattack. Of course, maybe we took it the wrong way." This person swallowed a medicinal pill and took out a white bottle. He opened the stopper and carefully dripped a drop of milky white liquid onto his wound. Only then did he speak.
"I don't believe it. Wait for me to get it back for you." The person beside him saw that the cold energy on his abdomen had been removed and said in disbelief.
"Be careful!" Just as this person said that, the person beside him disappeared. He could only bitterly smile and take out the small bottle that he had just put away. He was sure that the other party would also need it.
Sure enough, just as the other person's figure went in, he quickly retreated with a cry of pain. He also left a frost energy on his shoulder.
"Here you go. See, I'm right." The injured man threw the small bottle over and said.
"That's right. I suggest that you don't go in, so as not to waste the precious pill." The second person also dripped a drop of the pill on his wound. Feeling the cool pain, he smiled bitterly.
"It seems that we are really not fated. It doesn't matter. We have plenty of time. Let's hurry to the next place." Seeing this, the third person dismissed the idea of going in.
It had to be said that the better something was, the more it was about fate. Even if they took it out forcefully, it would not be able to display much of its power. Instead, it might cause trouble for them. It seemed that they were ready to give up.
Although there were many treasures here, the distance was very far. They had to hurry to the next place. Although they said that they were not in a hurry, they were actually very anxious.
Ta ta ta!
Just as they were about to leave, a series of footsteps suddenly came from the corner, accompanied by a clamor. It sounded like several people were coming together. Instantly, the three of them became vigilant. Their hands tightened on their weapons. Before they came over, they had already thought of the possibility of someone snatching the treasures behind them.
Especially now that two of them were injured, it made them feel even more uneasy.
"Young Master Gu, this is one of them. It is very difficult to find because most people will pass through that place and neglect this place. So …" You Hao was speaking to Gu Zheng. When they turned the corner, three pairs of eyes looked at them fiercely.
"Pfft!"
Xing Cai could not help but laugh when she saw this scene. Seeing that everyone was looking over, she waved her hand and retreated.
"Everyone, don't be nervous. I wonder if you have obtained the things here." Gu Zheng looked at the injuries on the other party's body and felt somewhat confident. Only then did he speak politely.
These people seemed to be led by the old woman. He had seen them outside before.
"We didn't take it. If you want to take it, go ahead. We are leaving." The uninjured person saw that the other party's attitude was not bad. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Take care. We won't send you off. Seeing that you helped us break the restriction, there are some black moons on those doors. Don't break them. The restriction inside can kill. It was set by the black dragon himself." Gu Zheng said to them in the distance. This was also what You Hao had told him on the way here.
The person who spoke turned around and cupped his hands at Gu Zheng to express his gratitude. Soon, he disappeared.
"Young Master Gu, there are restrictions on this thing. Let me open it." You Hao spoke and then walked towards the main hall that was opened.
After a while, You Hao walked out with an exquisite little box in his hands.
"Young Master Gu, this is a cold stone. Although it is only a material, it has been brewed in the Extreme Nether Realm for millions of years. There are only a few in the entire Untainted Land. It is extremely helpful for any water-attribute cultivation. It can even draw out the cold Qi inside. Its power is not inferior to a mid-stage Grand Heavenly Realm attack." You Hao explained in detail.
"This treasure is so powerful!" Xing Cai's eyes lit up when she heard it from behind.
"Of course. This is just a normal treasure. The better ones are all locked up. I'm afraid that other than Lord Black Dragon, no one can open it. If one's cultivation is not enough to open it, they will only be courting death. If one's cultivation is enough to open it, the things inside will also self-destruct." Ma Lian said with a look of admiration.
"Thanks." The guzheng reached out and took it. Opening it slightly, a gust of cold air flowed out, causing everyone to tremble.
But in the next moment, Gu Zheng closed the box again. The cold Qi in the air dissipated. Only then did everyone let out a sigh of relief.
One had to know that the weakest person here was a late-stage Jin Xian. Just the cold Qi released by the other party was so powerful. It was clearly not ordinary.
"For you." Gu Zheng turned around and handed it to Xing Cai.
"For me?" Xing Cai could not believe it. She pointed at herself and asked subconsciously. But looking at Gu Zheng's serious face, it did not seem like he was joking.
"If I don't give it to you, am I supposed to give it to someone else? The cultivation method I cultivate is not fated with this. It would be a waste for me to have it." Gu Zheng said jokingly.
"Take it. There will be good things later."
"Then I won't be polite!" Although Xing Cai wanted to refuse, this thing was too tempting for her. So, she accepted it.
"Let's go. Where's the next one? Lead us there. At the final juncture, the stronger everyone is, the more we can help Elder Gu and Black Dragon, "Gu Zheng said to You Hao.
You Hao nodded and led everyone back the way they came. These things were especially beneficial to outsiders. He might as well give it to himself first.
.....
In the northwest area of Black Dragon Outer Hall, there were also three people in a group. They had just walked out of a large hall that had been broken open.
"Although it took some effort, there was still some harvest. This time, following the Left General, we gained more than last time," a tall man said with a happy expression.
"I say, Barbarian Bull, you have already used two treasures. We don't have anything on our side," a veiled woman looked at him and said with some dissatisfaction.
"You can't say that. Didn't we just kill a person who came out of nowhere with a strange aura? There was also a Rogue. Didn't we get a few items from them?" A skinny man next to him subconsciously answered when he heard this.
"Haha, isn't that so? No one lost anything. Let's take a short rest. After a while, we will leave after opening a few more halls. The Left General only gave us so little time. What a disappointment. Let's go to the hall together. Let's see what we can do with our strength," Barbarian Bull said while shaking his head.
"Who knows? But who dares to not listen to the Left General's orders? You should know that the Right General and Lord are going to do something mysterious. Otherwise, we can really stroll around here," the thin man said.
"When it comes to the General's matters, whatever he says is the truth. We can only listen to him. Speaking of which, did you see Fan Lang? He seems to have disappeared along the way," the veiled woman said curiously.
"I know that guy. I don't know what kind of luck he had. He was actually sent to the Inheritance Realm by the Left General. That place isn't just for show. It's a really good place," Barbarian Bull said with some envy.
"What do you mean?" the thin man said with interest. In any case, there was nothing to do during the recovery period.
"The next time you see them, they'll probably have already advanced into the Golden Immortal Realm. This time, the general gave him a huge amount of black qi and a rare treasure. He'll definitely be able to advance in that place." Barbarian Bull didn't keep them in suspense and told them everything he knew.
"That's great. Big Brother Barbarian, why haven't we heard of it before?" The veiled woman's voice was filled with jealousy.
"That's only natural. Last time, you guys didn't sneak into this place. Besides, Fan Lang's contribution is more than enough to deserve this favor." Barbarian Bull didn't feel much jealousy. After all, Fan Lang deserved all these years.
"Shh, someone is coming."
The three of them entered the hall behind them at almost the same time.
Soon, a fairy-like woman flitted past the entrance of their hall.
"She has a pretty good thing in her hand. Moreover, her cultivation is only at the peak of Jin Xian. Do you want it?" The thin man pointed to the front and secretly transmitted his voice.
The three of them nodded in tacit understanding and followed her.
She was merely at the peak of Jin Xian. Just now, two of them had died in their hands.
They were very good at killing people and snatching their treasures.
