"Bang!"
The door on one side of the wall was violently broken open. After half a day, Xing Ba and his group finally arrived at the back. There was only one door here, and there was another in the other direction, leading to different directions.
According to You Hao, there should be spiritual herbs and some rare spiritual beasts there. They had been raised by the Black Dragon for who knows how many years. Thinking of the countless spiritual herbs that were hundreds of thousands of years old, even Xing Ba was tempted.
However, his mission was still more important. He would go there when he had the chance, because only then could he completely get rid of the black gas.
Success and failure were due to the black gas.
The appearance of the black gas greatly increased the number of human experts, but it also trapped them, making it impossible for them to go to the wider world outside. If he could really succeed, all of them would be able to leave this place no matter what.
To completely get rid of the black gas, even if everyone objected, he would take away those who agreed.
Without his protection, these humans would not be able to survive here. They had to leave even if they did not want to.
After opening the door, a new path appeared in front of them. However, this path was very special, like a layer of clouds, and there was empty space on both sides, as if they were crossing the horizon.
As long as they left this place, they would completely leave the Black Dragon Palace, and they would not be able to return.
"Lord Xing, this is the only way to enter the backyard. The item you want is also in a secret room in the back. If Lord Gu hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it," You Hao said in disbelief.
"What exactly is it?" Ma Zhu asked curiously.
"It's Lord Black Dragon's …" You Hao just opened his mouth when he saw Xing Ba glaring at him. He quickly said, "You will know when we get there. Besides, we don't need it, so don't be curious."
"Then let's go, it seems like we will have to walk for a while," Xing Ba said to everyone beside him.
After saying that, Xing Ba stepped in, followed by Xing Cai. One by one, they walked in.
Under the illumination of the golden clouds in the sky, they went further and further away from the Black Dragon Palace until they disappeared.
At the end of their path, there was a huge courtyard. It was as big as a small country, so it was obvious how big it was. It was densely packed with rooms, and in a hidden place, two groups of people were staring at each other with swords drawn.
"Zhu Hun, you've helped the other party and lured everyone out. Now, you've even allowed the other party to enter the Black Dragon Hall. Do you know the consequences?" Among the crowd on the left, a person covered in a black robe pointed at Zhu Hun and shouted.
"Of course I know. Otherwise, why would I be here? It's not that I want to say this, but you bunch of stubborn people and my mighty emissary are really stubborn. I'm wondering why I was like you guys in the past." Zhu Hun, who had once met Gu Zheng, said disdainfully as he tossed a glittering throwing knife in his hand.
"You've really let down the lord who adopted you. Your soul has gone to the underworld, how could you face him?" The emissary said agitatedly. He took off his black robe and hat, revealing a similarly young face. However, his face was filled with indignation.
"I admit the lord's kindness to me. That's why I accidentally went berserk when he was cultivating and died. I tried my best. What about you? Otherwise, I would have left long ago. As for you, you're even more disrespectful to the lord. The lord has already reincarnated. He wouldn't have waited for me. "Zhu Hun said gloomily as he caught the throwing knife in his hand.
It could be heard that he was still full of respect for the lord. No one could insult him.
"You …" The emissary wanted to say something, but he couldn't refute. In the end, he said angrily, "No matter what, you've committed a crime. You've opened up all kinds of paths for them and even sabotaged our operation. This time, I've caught you. We won't let you go. Die, you traitors."
As soon as the emissary's voice fell, the black-robed people behind them looked over with murderous intent.
The other side was also wearing black robes. They didn't look any different. However, there was a red flower embroidered on their arms. It was very conspicuous, and it also made the two groups distinct. "How laughable.
This is the last time I'll call you Senior Brother. Of course, I deliberately let you find this place. Only by doing this can I attract all of your attention. This way, no one will cause trouble. We'll take the remaining body of the black dragon. When the time comes, the soul and the body will merge into one. At that time, we'll have at least seventy percent of the black dragon's strength. At that time, we don't need those uncivilized lands. "
Zhu Hun laughed as if victory was already in his hands.
"What! You've found that. "The emissary's expression kept changing. He didn't expect that the other party would also find his last resort.
"Of course. Your disguise seems perfect. However, under the search of three Peak Grand Heavenly Realm experts, even your defense was destroyed. This time, it's your turn. Let's fight to the death." As Zhu Hun's voice fell, the originally dark illusion suddenly became bright.
Moreover, the ground that was far from solid became yellow like quicksand. Even the surrounding space became blurry. Soon, it became a desert.
"Haha, I deliberately tricked you all here. Of course, I won't let you leave so easily. This time, without the help of the outside world, this place won't change for seven days. We have plenty of time." Zhu Hun sneered. Then, he waved his hand and said to them.
"Destroy them. With the backing of the lord, everyone will definitely soar in the future."
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
As soon as Zhu Hun's voice fell, the people behind him shouted in unison and rushed towards the other side.
The emissary was not to be outdone. Although he didn't recognize the formation, he had to defeat the other party first. The people behind him also rushed towards the other side.
The lowest cultivation on both sides was at the Early Jin Xian Realm. While they were still halfway, a bright light emerged from their bodies and bombarded the other side.
When dry wood met a raging fire in this hot desert, it immediately launched a fierce attack.
"Rumble!"
The whole space was constantly exploding. Attacks were constantly exploding on the side of the desert. Yellow sand was constantly flying in the air. However, before it could really rise, it was blown away by the violent astral wind in the sky. However, the holes in the ground that were created by the explosions were filled with sand again in the blink of an eye.
Numerous figures flashed back and forth in the whole space. From time to time, people on both sides would vomit blood and be sent flying. Those who were lightly injured would swallow pills and continue fighting. Those who were seriously injured would force themselves to hide behind and quickly recover. At the same time, they were vigilant against the enemies who wanted to sneak attack them.
The emissary and Zhu Hun were also fighting. Although the emissary had been cultivating for a long time, Zhu Hun's talent was extraordinary. His strength was not inferior to the emissary's. The two of them were also fighting fiercely.
However, the two of them had the same cultivation method. They knew each other's cultivation method. It was really difficult to determine the winner.
"Your people will lose their fighting strength in at most one day. At that time, I will see what you will do." The emissary said to Zhu Hun in the middle of the battle.
The people he had brought were all elites. Their overall strength was far superior to the other side. They had just come into contact with each other and could already see that.
"Hehe, do you think I care about them? Most of them are abandoned pawns. Do you understand? "Zhu Hun smiled strangely and transmitted his voice to the emissary.
"What?" The emissary didn't think of this at all. He wanted to tell the other side, but the other side didn't believe him. He could only step up the attack and try to gain some advantage.
After a short period of half a day, less than half of the people were still fighting. At least a dozen people had died here. However, more of them were still injured.
"Haha, I won't play with you. You guys stay here and enjoy the rest of the time." Suddenly, Zhu Hun separated from the other side. Then, he quickly retreated. He came to a small group of three injured people and smiled at the emissary. Then, he crushed a pink crystal in his hand.
A layer of pink light enveloped the four of them. Before the emissary could react, the four of them disappeared in front of everyone. Only a little pink light was still flickering around them.
Not only were the emissary and the other side stunned, but the other side was also stunned. Their commander had run away. Leaving this group of small soldiers here was equivalent to abandoning them.
"You guys should obediently continue to be nourishment. It's your honor to become a part of the black dragon's body."
Just when everyone was still stunned, a crisp female voice suddenly sounded in the air. She seemed to be taking pleasure in their misfortune.
"Sir Ren, I've completed my mission. A portion of the flesh and blood of these people is enough to activate the black dragon's body. We'll take our leave first." At this moment, Zhu Hun's voice sounded in the air.
"Idiot, I've activated the array here. Okay, I know. This is enough. I'll pass on your credit." The voice called Sir Ren sounded again.
Then, there was a rustling sound. Soon, there was no more sound.
The people who had been abandoned by Zhu Hun were ashen-faced. They didn't want to fight with the other side anymore. They went back to treat their injured people. Soon, loud curses were heard. They had never expected this scene.
"Creak, creak."
Just as the emissaries were preparing to break the spell formation, a strange sound was suddenly heard. A large patch of pink light suddenly rose up from the ground, and as the surface of the desert began to surge, strange plants of all shapes and sizes rose up from below.
Most of them had blooming flowers on their heads. They had a humanoid body, but their height was less than half that of an ordinary person. They only had two claws that looked like crabs in their hands. There were also a few dancing tails behind them. On each tail was a bud that was about to bloom.
The remaining ones were a type of dark green insects. They looked very disgusting. Most of them hid in the desert and rushed out to attack at the right time.
There were several times more of these creatures than the emissary. Although their combat power was slightly inferior, after killing one, another would emerge from below. There was an endless stream of them rushing out. Soon, there were casualties.
The green insects found an opportunity to drag away a person who was seriously injured and unconscious from below. This made everyone more vigilant.
While this group of people was engaged in a fierce battle, a similar group of people walked over not far from here.
"It's here, right?" Xing Ba looked at the ordinary room in front of him. He couldn't imagine that his ancestors had lived here before.
"Yes. Don't look at this place. In the past, only elders could live here. It's just that this place has been abandoned for a long time," You Hao said. Then, he helped him open the door and enter.
Inside was an ordinary house. The furniture from before was still placed there. It was still as new as before.
"You guys wait outside for a while."
Xing Ba said and followed in. He looked around and saw that You Hao began to search the room. It seemed that he wanted to find a hidden secret room. Xing Cai and the others stayed outside.
"Let's look around. Anyway, we're bored. It shouldn't be a problem to look around here." Xing Cai looked around and was very interested. Although there were no magic treasures here, there were customs and features left behind from before.
"En, it's fine. This place has long been abandoned. If it wasn't for this place being special, it would have been destroyed long ago," Ma Zhu replied.
"Why don't you guys accompany me?" Xing Cai invited them together. She felt a little bored by herself.
"I'll wait here for Lord Xing and the others. How about this? Ma Lian, you follow Miss Xing Cai and protect her. This way, I can sense your location at any time," Ma Zhu said after thinking for a while.
As twin sisters, she had a special sense. Within a certain distance, she could roughly know the other party's location.
"Okay." Ma Lian said happily. At least it was better than standing here. It was her first time coming to this place. She was also curious.
"We'll be nearby. We won't go far. You can hear us if you shout," Xing Cai said loudly to Ma Zhu. At the same time, she wanted her father to know her whereabouts.
After saying that, Xing Cai pulled Ma Lian and walked to the side. Speaking of which, her cultivation was one level higher than theirs. It wasn't certain who would be protecting who.
On the other side, Starba didn't ask Xing Cai. Instead, You Hao opened a secret room and a pitch-black door appeared in front of Starba.
"Lord Xing, it should be inside. If Lord Gu is right, the last bottle should be inside," You Hao said. He didn't have any intention of going in.
"Good, good. Looks like the rumors are true. If it wasn't for you guys leading the way, I might not have found it. Thank you so much," Xing Ba said excitedly as he felt a familiar and unfamiliar aura.
"Lord Xing, you're too polite. This is what I should do. Compared to what Young Master Gu wants to do, our formation is insignificant." You Hao said, flattered. No matter what, the other party was at least a Grand Heavenly Immortal. It was rare for him to say thank you.
Xing Ba didn't say anything and walked into the secret room. He was thinking about what Gu Zheng wanted to do. They didn't say anything along the way, but it must be very dangerous.
After an incense stick's worth of time, Xing Ba walked out. He felt the small bottle of Black Dragon's blood in his arms. At this moment, he had achieved his goal.
Although it looked like a lot, there was only one drop inside. It was sealed in a special bottle and preserved perfectly.
This wasn't ordinary blood. It was almost like blood essence. It was probably the last bit of Black Dragon's blood.
"Where are they? If there's nothing else, let's go out. " Xing Ba said to Ma Zhu as soon as he came out with You Hao. He looked around but didn't find any trace of them.
"They're in the street in front. It's very close to here. I'll bring you there, Lord." Ma Zhu closed her eyes and sensed their location.
When the three of them found Xing Cai, they initially thought that she was just strolling around. However, they discovered that the two of them were standing on a rooftop, while Ma Zhu was lying on the rooftop. Her expression was serious, as if she was listening to something.
"What's wrong?" Xing Ba flashed and stood beside them. He was also listening attentively, but he didn't find any movement.
"Ma Lian heard some sounds. It seems like there's a large-scale battle somewhere. It's just that she can't hear it clearly by herself," Xing Cai said softly.
Ma Zhu also flew up quietly. Seeing her sister like this, her palm lit up with a faint white light and she placed it on her sister's shoulder.
Ma Lian, who was frowning, suddenly relaxed. Her head leaned forward slightly and her eyes were closed tightly. She seemed to be confirming something.
After half a cup of tea's time, Ma Lian's eyes suddenly opened. She spat out a mouthful of blood and the aura on her body dropped rapidly. Not only her, but even Ma Zhu, who was behind her, also had blood flowing out of the corner of her mouth. Her body leaned to the side softly. Xing Cai hurriedly grabbed her and prevented her from falling.
"What's wrong?" Xing Ba looked around but didn't find anything. He didn't know who hurt them.
Ma Zhu gasped and pointed at Ma Lian, indicating that she knew everything.
After Ma Lian swallowed a pill, she waited for a while and said anxiously.
"I saw Lord Black Dragon's body and Envoy Mu. They're trapped below." Ma Lian said. Blood flowed out of her mouth. She didn't bother to wipe it and directly knelt down in front of Xing Ba.
"Lord Xing, please help us. The other party is Goblin. They must be using Black Dragon's body to do something. We can't let them tarnish Lord Black Dragon's body. Please."
Black Dragon's body!
Xing Ba had never heard of it. He thought that it would eventually condense into Black Dragon's Dao. However, when he thought of his father's teachings when he was young, even if the other party didn't say it, he would agree.
It seemed that when the other party was spying, he was discovered and suffered a backlash.
Xing Ba looked at the other two beside him. They also had a pleading look and immediately said, "Okay, how strong is the other party?"
"The other party's cultivation is the same as yours. There's only one person. Just do your best. If you can really get Black Dragon's body back, then you'll be our benefactor." Ma Lian quickly said.
"Okay!" Xing Ba directly agreed.
In an empty backyard, Ren Xue floated in the air. Through the ground, she looked at the battle in the dark room below. It was as if she was enjoying a show.
Every time someone died, they would quietly be absorbed into the nearby desert. Everything would be disintegrated and absorbed by a black formation on the ground, turning into clouds of black mist and surging into a body that was the size of a small mountain in the middle.
As the black mist poured in, the originally dull body's surface had some blood color. Everything was going according to plan.
Ever since she ate the pill that Lord gave her, she had recovered at least 80% of her strength. She was so lucky. She didn't expect Lord Xing Ba to still be here. This time, she might be able to fulfill her wish.
"Who is it?!"
Ren Xue suddenly raised her head and roared into the distance.
"You actually dare to taint Lord Black Dragon's body with blood. You deserve to die. Stop immediately and release the people below." Xing Ba looked at the other party. From his memories, he knew the other party's identity. He knew that this fierce battle was inevitable.
"Oh? You look familiar. Maybe you're the descendant of an old friend? Hurry up and leave. Otherwise, I won't be polite. "Ren Xue took a closer look and felt that the other party was familiar.
Xing Ba didn't say anything else. He took out the black blade again and pointed at the other party with one hand to express his intentions.
