At this moment, Gu Zheng was still above. Although he noticed the black water spurting out, he did not pay much attention to it. He thought that it was some other change.
However, in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of lives appeared below. Furthermore, there were more deaths every second. They were all those who drank the black water.
The remaining people did not dare to touch it. Those who drank the black water tried to spit it out. However, nothing came out. They could only wait for a while before they turned into a pool of black water.
"What's going on?" Gu Zheng looked around. Black water was spurting out everywhere. It was as if the once precious black water was spurting out freely. Furthermore, the surrounding spiritual energy became even more violent.
Furthermore, this abnormality continued to grow. The cracks on the ground became bigger. It was as if the end of the world had arrived.
Gu Zheng looked at the scene. Unfortunately, he did not know what was going on. However, he knew that this place was about to be destroyed. They could not stay here any longer.
However, there were still so many people below. Gu Zheng could not bring so many people with him.
Gu Zheng looked at Madam Banmeng, who was beside him. Before he could say anything, she spoke first.
"I know what you mean. I cannot bring these people with me. However, I can bring some of them with me. This is the limit of my abilities."
At this moment, Madam Banmeng's aura had returned to the middle stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm. This was because her current state was equivalent to her swallowing the Great Dao Crystal. She was not like Wen Tianhou, who used the Evil Thoughts and the Great Dao Crystal to force her way to the Quasi-Sage Realm.
"We are leaving now. Bring as many as you can. Let's leave together!" Gu Zheng did not look below. This was because he could not do anything. They could not blame others for not leaving earlier.
Madam Banmeng nodded her head. Her body started to expand. When she was ten thousand zhang tall, she stopped. The four seven-colored balls descended slowly and stopped above these people.
Before the people below could react, a huge suction came from below. People and Goblin were sucked up one by one.
Most of them were ordinary humans. Almost all of them had cultivation. Some Heaven Immortals were also sucked in. There were even some children. However, there was not a single old person.
Very quickly, the four balls were filled. Then, Madam Half Dream no longer looked down. Her huge figure swept across the sky and flew out of the Cloud Dream Mountain Marsh.
Gu Zheng looked down, sighed, and flew out as well.
Gu Zheng identified those who were taken away at a glance. They were either those who had not swallowed the black water or those who were relatively talented.
In other words, those with the most potential would be preserved, while the rest would be eliminated.
Although it was cruel, it was the best way. Gu Zheng couldn't find any fault with it.
Only after Gu Zheng and the others had disappeared did the people below realize what had just happened. They began to make a ruckus.
Some of them were in a daze, some of them were cursing loudly, and some of them had already found their patriarchs and begged them to take them away.
Everyone knew that after the other party took some people away, they would never return. All of them had been abandoned.
After a while, a series of lights began to rise into the sky and fly out.
Those Jin Xian would take a few people with them. Those with magic treasures could even take more people. Those Heaven Immortals did the same.
They understood that if they didn't leave now, it would really be too late.
However, the people they took away were just a drop in the bucket for the remaining people. More people were abandoned here. Some people who were unwilling to leave quickly ran out from the ground.
However, as the black water increased, strands of black fog also began to cover the sky. The entire sky was slowly covered by the black fog.
"Boom!"
After a day, almost all the low-lying areas in the Great Wilderness were covered by the black water, and the ground was full of cracks. Even the sky had turned dark, accompanied by the whistling sound of the spirit energy, which sounded like the crying of ghosts.
"Boom boom boom!"
In the depths of the Cloud Dream Swamp, sounds of explosions rang out continuously. The explosions soared into the sky and shook the ground.
Every explosion was like a full-strength blow from the Jin Xian. Like firecrackers, they continuously rushed out.
At the same time, a huge black shadow slowly appeared at the entrance of the Black Dragon Immortal Mansion, as if it was patrolling something.
It stayed in the air for less than a quarter of an hour before slowly retreating. It was as if it had never appeared.
On the other hand, Gu Zheng felt a chill the moment his eyes appeared. However, when he looked back, he didn't notice anything other than a cloud of black fog following behind him. He continued to run forward.
Two days later, Gu Zheng and Ye Xiwen arrived at the entrance. When the black cloud behind them was more than halfway through, it stopped expanding. It was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking it.
At this moment, there was lightning and thunder inside. Such a scene had begun a day ago. Fortunately, the black cloud was slowly spreading behind them.
Without the strength of a Grand Heavenly, they wouldn't be able to hold on for more than a quarter of an hour. Those who didn't come out in time would probably die inside.
However, Gu Zheng sensed that not far behind them, many Jin Xian, including some Heavenly Immortals, had already rushed out.
"Follow me from behind. I'll go to the front and tell them your identity. Otherwise, there will be a big misunderstanding." Gu Zheng glanced outside and said to Lady Banmeng in the air.
Lady Banmeng nodded. She understood what he was worried about. She slowly descended and landed on the ground. There was another tremor.
The humans trapped inside also landed on the ground with the rainbow ball. They were finally able to come out.
There weren't many of them. There were only about ten thousand of them.
Most of them had been starving for two days. However, compared to the situation later on, most of them were relieved. Relatively speaking, this was nothing.
Gu Zheng saw that there were some simple things placed below. There were enough rations for them to eat temporarily. Only then did he fly forward.
Following the tracks on the road, after two hours, he saw a huge temporary camp in the distance. The people who were brought out previously were all gathered here.
They could feel the commotion there. They felt that they had made a clear choice.
Before Gu Zheng arrived, he saw a row of people waiting for him in the air.
Xing Ba, Xing Cai, Elder Mo, and Long Tian, who had already returned, were all waiting for Gu Zheng at the front. There were also dozens of Golden Immortals behind them. It was a very grand scene.
"I told you that you would definitely come out. They didn't believe me!" Old Man Mo laughed and said to Gu Zheng from afar.
"You said it yourself. It's great to be able to see you. Otherwise, my daughter won't have any appetite." Xing Ba glanced at him and then said. His face was full of smiles.
"I knew you would come out. However, what happened to Wen Tianhou in the end?" Long Tian smiled. He didn't think that Mo Wuji wouldn't come out. Instead, he asked the same question.
At this moment, Gu Zheng's aura had already recovered. The effect of the Heavenly Nourishing Pill was completely exhausted halfway.
"Yeah, did we really get rid of him? Where's Elder Gu? "
Everyone was stunned. You Hao, who was also in the front row, couldn't help but ask.
Gu Zheng shook his head and said, "The other party ran away. However, only his soul was left. My Soul Chasing Technique actually didn't work. It's indeed strange."
"It's fine as long as the other party ran away. In any case, the other party's hundreds of thousands of years of planning was destroyed in an instant. Even his physical body is gone. He won't be able to do anything in the future." Long Tian smiled.
"Don't just talk. Hurry up and come in. I've already asked the people behind to prepare food and wine. Have a good rest." Xing Cai saw that everyone was still asking questions and immediately said.
"Right, right, right. I almost forgot. The villagers are very grateful to you. Without your treasure, we wouldn't have been able to save so many people." Xing Ba also came to a sudden realization. He calmly shook Xing Cai's hand off his arm and laughed heartily.
The others also opened up a path and looked at Gu Zheng with smiles. To Gu Zheng, they were really grateful.
On the other side, the Ma sisters had already rushed over with a few people. They wanted to surround Gu Zheng and bring him in.
"That's right, there's something I need to tell you." Gu Zheng walked forward and suddenly slapped his head. He had almost forgotten about the important matter.
"Madam Half Dream isn't dead. She has taken over the body that Wen Tianhou painstakingly created. She's waiting for everyone at the entrance. In order to avoid any misunderstandings, I'm here to tell everyone." Gu Zheng looked around and immediately said.
"Really?" Long Tian's eyes immediately became anxious. He flashed to Gu Zheng's side and asked again.
"Yes, it's absolutely true. You must not kill her because of Wen Tianhou." Gu Zheng nodded solemnly and said with certainty.
"Great! I'll go and help her. " Long Tian couldn't help but say. He then bid farewell to everyone and quickly flew outside with a few people.
Gu Zheng smiled and continued to fly inside. He could finally relax a little. This time, he needed to have a good rest.
After Star Tyrant heard Gu Zheng's voice transmission, he also sent some people to welcome those people together with Long Tian. Xing Cai was one step ahead and began to prepare a grand banquet to welcome Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng said with a smile as he walked in through the temporary entrance.
"Hualala."
A large group of people also surrounded him and looked at Gu Zheng respectfully. Although they didn't know anything else, they knew who had contributed the most. After all, that magic treasure was Gu Zheng. Otherwise, at least half of them wouldn't have been able to come out.
However, they were also orderly and didn't rush over. This made Gu Zheng sigh in relief. Just as he was about to talk to the people beside him, a figure suddenly rushed out.
With lightning speed, that figure arrived in front of Gu Zheng. A cold light appeared in the air and stabbed towards Gu Zheng's heart.
Not to mention that Gu Zheng had let down his guard, even the others didn't expect it. When the figure rushed in front of Gu Zheng, no one could react.
Gu Zheng instantly had goosebumps all over his body. It was as if the god of death was about to descend on him.
At such a close distance, Gu Zheng could clearly see the face of the other party. It was a very handsome young man. It was very unfamiliar, but that pair of fierce and cynical eyes was somewhat familiar to Gu Zheng.
Hei Kun!
This name suddenly flashed in Gu Zheng's mind. He should have changed his appearance and hid here. As he thought of this, he began to forcefully dodge.
At the moment of imminent peril, Gu Zheng's slight movement caused a dagger to delicately pierce into Gu Zheng's abdomen, avoiding his heart.
"How did you …" Gu Zheng wanted to ask why the other party was here, but halfway through his words, he felt his head spin. It was as if he couldn't control his body. He could only finish half of his sentence before he couldn't continue.
"That belongs to me. Why did you give it to Mother? That's mine. That's mine!" The somewhat crazy young man roared with bloodshot eyes.
Although the others didn't know why, they still reacted in time. They surrounded the other party and attacked, wanting to take him down in one fell swoop.
"All of you will die!" The crazy young man wasn't prepared to hide his death. The soaring aura on his body shook once again.
Other than Gu Zheng, everyone nearby was shocked by the sudden aura. The commoners instantly fainted.
However, Gu Zheng felt that his vision had begun to blur. It was as if there were thousands of people whispering in the air beside him. Then, he began to fall into a state of confusion and lost his sense of the outside world.
The strength of an early-stage Zenith Heaven Realm expert shocked the people nearby who were only Jin Xian. One had to know that Xing Ba and the others had returned in advance. Wouldn't that give the other party the time to wreak havoc?
In just a few breaths' time, before they arrived, a large number of Jin Xian who were shocked would die. Not to mention that they were in the middle and there were countless commoners nearby.
However, at this moment, the aura on his body suddenly stagnated. At the same time, his eyes unconsciously looked at Gu Zheng's waist. There was a golden ball hanging on it.
Before Hei Kun could react, a wisp of black gas suddenly emerged from his body and rushed straight towards the bottle.
"No, you're mine. Why did you betray me?!" Hei Kun suddenly exclaimed. However, the aura on his body began to decline rapidly. It fell straight to the early-stage Jin Xian.
In the next moment, the black gas had already entered the bottle and rushed towards the golden light that was sleeping in the middle.
However, in the next moment, the seven-colored light that was hidden in the bottle suddenly flashed again. A seven-colored light happened to block the golden light and split the small bottle into two parts. One half was golden and the other half was black.
The black gas attacked the seven-colored barrier, wanting to break through and devour the golden gas. However, the seven-colored light slowly flickered as if it wasn't affected by the other party's attack at all.
In the blink of an eye, the black gas had already launched hundreds of attacks. It suffered some damage, but the seven-colored barrier was still firmly guarding it. It seemed to have no damage at all.
This thing was a treasure that Elder Gu specially used to store good dragons. It was easy to enter, but difficult to leave. It naturally restrained their spiritual body state.
After the evil dragon saw that it couldn't do anything to the good dragon, it turned around and wanted to leave. However, it found that the entrance had disappeared. The entire small ball was perfectly round and there was no flaw at all.
However, if one looked from the outside, an inconspicuous gap was outside, and it came in from there.
The black gas struggled in all directions. Traces of seven-colored fog slowly seeped in from the side. The black gas gradually became stable and finally floated quietly in the air.
Only the black gas flashed from time to time, showing its unwillingness. However, it was all too late. What awaited it was the end of being devoured.
On the other side, Jin Xian and the others saw that the originally aggressive person's appearance had changed greatly. Moreover, it was as if he had suddenly lost consciousness. When they came back to their senses, they instantly subdued him on the spot.
More than ten layers of protective treasures flashed outside, firmly imprisoning the other party, causing him to completely lose his ability to fight.
"What's going on!" Xing Ba's voice sounded in the air. In the next instant, he appeared in the middle of the empty space. He looked around and before the others could answer, he took a big step forward and helped the unconscious Gu Zheng up.
"Who can tell me in detail what's going on?" Xing Ba looked at Hei Kun who was being suppressed by everyone below, then looked at the dagger in Gu Zheng's abdomen. He took a deep breath and asked again.
"Lord Xing, it's like this." A person at the side stepped forward and quickly explained what happened.
Xing Ba looked around and immediately said, "Let's wait for Lord Long to come back. I'll go treat him first. You all can leave. No one is allowed to discuss this matter."
"Two people come and take this person away. Don't hurt him."
Xing Ba still didn't know about Hei Kun's change. Old Man Mo and Long Tian didn't tell him about Hei Kun at all. He thought that something had happened and immediately gave the order to lock down.
On the other side, after Xing Cai learned that Gu Zheng was injured, she directly ran to the back of the banquet hall. Soon, she found Xing Ba's room. In the corner of the room, there was an unconscious Hei Kun.
At this moment, Gu Zheng's face was dark and scary. His eyes were tightly shut, and his face was somewhat sinister because of the pain. Especially the dagger in his abdomen was still stuck in it, emitting a faint light.
"Father!" Xing Cai immediately shouted.
"I can't pull it out. This dagger is strange. I'm afraid that it will cause other problems. In just a few breaths of time, it can make him unconscious like this. It's not an ordinary dagger. Wait a moment, I've already sent more people to inform Lord Long."
Xing Ba's face was solemn as he explained to his daughter.
"En!" Xing Cai held back the question in her heart. At the same time, she looked at Gu Zheng's suffering appearance. A wave of sadness rose from the bottom of her heart.
"Ji Ji"
At this moment, a few cries suddenly came from outside. The cries were filled with anxiety.
Xing Cai turned her back to Xing Ba and said, "I'll go outside to comfort those pets. Don't let them disturb this place."
"En, you take care of the outside from now on. While you're at it, go and comfort everyone. If there's anything, I'll look for you."
Xing Ba nodded. Looking at Gu Zheng's condition, he opened his hand and a Scarlet Soul Pill appeared in his hand. However, after a slight hesitation, he still kept it. Right now, although it looked very serious, he had already taken a look. His injuries weren't serious.
According to his intuition, a simple healing pill wouldn't be effective at all. It might even have the opposite effect.
"Big Ye, Little Ye, be good. Young Master Gu's old injuries only relapsed when he came out. Once the treatment is done, you will be able to see him. Don't worry."
Xing Cai's voice rang out at the same time as the flapping sound fell outside the door.
"I hope that everything is fine!"
Xing Ba sighed and thought silently in his heart.
