"Master Pan, your maidservant is outside asking for an audience. She says that she has something important to tell you."
In a secret chamber, Pan Xuan was quietly resting when suddenly a voice came from outside.
"Let her in. I'm just done with my seclusion." Pan Xuan said calmly. At the same time, she retracted the ripples from her body.
"What's going on? Hongling, who beat you up like this? "
A figure rushed in from outside. Even though he was clean, his aura was obviously weak, and even affected his movements.
"Miss, I bumped into Young Master Gu. I was beaten up like this by him."
Hong Ling's words caused Pan Xuan's expression to change abruptly. The figure that was originally sitting on the ground suddenly stood up, her eyes fixed on Hong Ling as she asked again.
"He's here?"
"Yes, and his cultivation base has improved tremendously as well. He's at the same level as you, miss." Hong Ling looked at the Young Miss, who used to be unmoved by anything, and lost her composure after hearing news about the other party. She swallowed a deep breath and said.
"Why is he here? Is this my fate? "Pan Xuan mumbled to herself in a daze. Her calm heart was broken once more.
She thought that she had sealed up her ice wall long ago. But just hearing about the other party caused a crack to appear.
Hongling stood at the side, feeling wronged. She was the most trusted maidservant of her miss. But now, she was not even looking at her. It was as though she had forgotten about her.
But when she thought about how she had used the name of her miss to escape from death, she felt a little better. Otherwise, she would not even have the chance to come back.
"Miss, are we still going to follow the orders? Our men have already gathered. They are waiting for us to rescue them. " Hong Ling suddenly thought of something. She immediately asked cautiously, ignoring her injuries.
"Go? Why not? Who dares to disobey the orders of the Great Ancestor? But, who else knows about this? "This sentence woke Pan Xuan up, and she asked about the most important part.
"Other than me, everyone else is dead. I flew all the way back without stopping." Hongling said immediately. This was the reason why she said that she knew what to do before she ran off.
Once the news was leaked out, the first person to come after him would be the young miss in front of him. Although she was usually gentle to him, he didn't want to experience the terror behind it.
"That's good. Don't heal yourself first. Go out and tell everyone that I made a mistake in my cultivation and need to rest for a few days. My people will continue to leave according to the plan, and I will rush over later. Do you understand?"
Pan Xuan looked at Hong Ling meaningfully. Obviously, she knew why Hong Ling had escaped from death.
"Understood, Miss. What about Lord Blackhawk Beak and Lord Hawkeye who came to take over this place? The group of people outside is already planning to rescue the people here. "Hong Ling was creeped out by Pan Xuan's stare, but she still forced herself to speak.
"Hasn't he already taken over this place for ten years? If it wasn't for the fact that I needed to go into seclusion for a while, I would have been chased away. There wouldn't be any of us here. Other than the problem, it's none of our business. Other than the fact that you would meet your little lover from time to time, it seems that your little lover is already dead. "Pan Xuan continued to stare at Hong Ling as she spoke.
"Young miss, please spare my life! He happened to have something to do and asked me to help him on a mission. That's why I managed to escape. "Hong Ling's face turned pale as she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
She had used her identity to go out frequently, but she didn't expect that the young miss had been keeping an eye on her. When she heard Pan Xuan's question, she didn't dare to lie and blurted everything out.
"That's really your lucky day. I won't ask about your relationship, but if you want to save your little lover's life, I suggest you bring him along with you. I still have the face to do that." Pan Xuan smiled, as if she didn't care about Hong Ling's actions.
"Thank you young miss, thank you young miss!" Hong Ling couldn't help but cry out emotionally. She knew that Pan Xuan had let her go this time and even dragged her little lover out of the abyss of death.
However, she knew that all of this was because of the news of the person she brought. Otherwise, she wouldn't be in a good state.
"Hurry up. Otherwise, it will be too late. Get out!"
Pan Xuan finally gave the order to leave. Although there were some fluctuations in her mood, there were no traces of it on her face.
"Young miss, I'll take my leave first." Hong Ling immediately stood up and said respectfully.
After slowly retreating out of the cave, she then rushed outside in a hurry. She knew that time was tight and she had to make the best use of it.
.....
A day later, Kun Yu and the rest came out from their hiding place and headed towards Aurora City in small groups.
At this moment, they already knew the exact location of the other party. They were only waiting for them to gather and attack together.
Gu Zheng didn't choose to follow Kun Yu and the rest. Instead, he secretly followed behind Leng Xin and headed towards Aurora City together.
In just half a day, Aurora City was already in front of Gu Zheng's eyes.
Since it was called a city, even if it was chaotic, there were still hundreds of thousands of people living here. Moreover, both humans and Goblin could be seen here.
There were even Goblin who hadn't fully transformed and lived here. The unspoken rule here was that no one would target anyone below the level of a Heavenly Immortal. Moreover, it was forbidden to fight in the city.
If anyone violated the rules, everyone would surround them.
Even the Shuras who were only temporarily stationed here had to abide by the rules.
There was no other reason. The resources here were too poor and they didn't care about this place at all. They didn't want to take over a useless place and waste their lives.
It was the same for the people here. There was no need to fight against the other party. Therefore, they lived in peace.
Many people went in and out. Almost everyone had an unapproachable look. Moreover, most of them reeked of blood. It was obvious that they had killed many people. None of them were people to be trifled with.
There were no patrolling soldiers or inspectors. It had only been a few days, and no one here would notice any difference from before. They were still walking step by step according to the previous track.
Gu Zheng didn't see the letter and didn't know where it was locked up. When he got close, Gu Zheng's figure changed and he transformed into a fierce one-eyed man.
Little Ying also transformed into a beautiful young girl. She followed beside Gu Zheng like a maid.
No one noticed all these changes. Gu Zheng followed behind Leng Xin and continued to advance into the city.
The people living here had long since come out to make a living. The streets were filled with fragrant smells. There was also a lot of shouting, trying their best to pull in every guest.
Even if a random passerby could crush them with a pinky, they didn't care. They were already used to it. They even shouted at them with all their might. After all, a casual move from these people was equivalent to a month's income.
Gu Zheng followed Leng Xin all the way inside. He bought some breakfast for Little Ying while he was at it.
A dozen people from different places blended into the city. They were like a drop of water in the ocean. Moreover, they had changed their appearances. No one would notice anything wrong.
After making many turns, Gu Zheng followed the path until he arrived at a decent-looking area. It was clear that this place was much more luxurious. The powerful auras coming from the surrounding buildings were not concealed at all.
Suddenly, Leng Xin's footsteps came to a halt. Then, he walked in another direction as if nothing had happened. Up ahead, there were several powerful Heavenly Immortals standing before a mansion. There were fierce looks on their faces as they stared at the passersby. Most of them chose to take a detour.
They were not guards. No one would use Heavenly Immortals to guard this broken place. Judging by the clothes they were wearing, they were clearly the subordinates of the ruler of this place. They had already marked this place as a forbidden area and were telling others that they were here to do business.
Gu Zheng looked behind the two Heavenly Immortals. A layer of golden light covered the entire courtyard behind them. It was like a small barrier, separating the inside into two worlds. Not even Gu Zheng could see what was happening inside.
Gu Zheng did not stop. Instead, he continued to follow Leng Xin. However, when he did, Gu Zheng's pupils contracted slightly. The other party's figure had completely disappeared from Gu Zheng's line of sight.
The street before them was not short and many people had chosen to take a detour. Likewise, there were also quite a number of people there. And yet, with just a glance, Chen Feng had lost track of the other party.
Gu Zheng looked around without batting an eyelid. He had not placed any tracking magic on the other party. Thus, he was certain that the other party would not be able to figure out that he was following him.
Thinking back to the clues he had given them earlier, could the other party be in this courtyard?
Gu Zheng pondered as he led Xiao Ye forward. At the same time, he also caught hold of Xiao Ying, who was looking around excitedly. Seeing that, Xiao Ying was taken aback. At the same time, a faint wave of light shot out from Gu Zheng's hand.
In just the blink of an eye, the two of them had hidden themselves within the street. No one noticed them at all.
"What are we doing? Aren't we following that person? "Xiao Ying blinked and asked in a puzzled manner.
"He has already disappeared. What's the point of following him? Follow me. The other party should have entered this place." Gu Zheng looked at Xiao Ying's innocent expression. However, he was unable to say anything. In any case, she was simple-minded and acted as if everything was up to her.
"I understand." Xiao Ying looked at Gu Zheng pointing at the wall beside him. At that moment, it was also covered by a golden light. She immediately came to a realization.
At the same time, she took out the Nine-Layered Pagoda from her bosom and gently patted it a few times. The Nine-Layered Pagoda's entire body shook slightly. Then, it emitted a hazy Buddhist light as it moved towards the wall. It directly rushed into the protective barrier and remained firmly inside. However, it did not cause any reaction from the protective barrier. It was as if the Nine-Layered Pagoda was part of the barrier.
As Xiao Ying muttered a few words, the Nine-Layered Pagoda's body swelled once again. Only when it was as big as a person, did it stop.
Xiao Ying waved her hand and the Nine-Layered Pagoda returned to her. Gu Zheng took advantage of the time when the gap in the barrier was closing up to pass through with Xiao Ying.
"This family must be very rich!" Xiao Ying muttered when she saw them appear at the corner of the wall. They were surrounded by rare flowers and plants. Moreover, there was an exquisitely carved rockery inside.
"What's the use of being rich? You can't not be interested in worldly things." Gu Zheng looked around and found traces of Leng Xin. When he heard Xiao Ying's words, he felt helpless.
Leng Xin's reluctance to part with worldly affairs was beyond Gu Zheng's imagination.
"How long have I been out? In any case, I feel like I haven't seen enough of it." Xiao Ying chuckled and retorted, "I've seen it for hundreds of thousands of years. Maybe I'm tired of it. It's just like when I'm in a painting."
Before she finished speaking, she found that Gu Zheng had already walked ahead. She quickly stopped and followed.
The entire mansion was not very big. However, it was very quiet. Only some faint movements could be heard from inside.
"Fatty Pang, it's not good for anyone if you don't speak. They've already transferred the pressure to us. Why are you still holding on?"
In the living room, a fat man was looking at the five people in front of him. He didn't care about them at all. He was still sipping his wine, and he even gestured for the trembling maid beside him to fill his glass. When he heard the leader of the group talking to him, his body, which was originally lying down, sat up straight.
"You're framing me. I'm not in cahoots with them. You surrounded my mansion early in the morning and even captured my people. Do you think I'm easy to bully?" Fatty Pang said with a straight face.
"Fatty Pang, you've finally spoken. We're not going to go so far as to frame you. We've already confirmed that you're in cahoots with them. Why would we come here if we didn't have concrete evidence?" One of the men wearing a purple brocade robe said aggressively.
"Evidence? Take it out! Moreover, I'm right here. Come over and catch me! Could it be that you're still afraid of my revenge? "Fatty Pang snorted coldly. He wiped the wine from his mouth and stood up.
"Of course we have evidence. You won't give up until you see him. Men, bring him here." The purple-robed old man clapped his hands and shouted behind him.
Soon, a man dressed like a manservant was escorted out from behind. This made Fatty Pang's expression change, because this man was the manservant he had hidden in the other party's mansion. But how did the other party find him? One had to know that this guy's ancestors had been hiding in the city for three generations.
"Haha, did you know? The other side only wanted to step onto the path of cultivation. The Shura tempted them a little and almost everyone turned traitor. The message you sent was also tampered with. Don't blame us. Who told you to break the rules? We were the ones who asked for it. Otherwise, the Shura would be the ones who came. Do you think you can stop them? "The purple-robed old man did not let the witness speak at all.
"So, tell us what your people found at the bottom of the mountain that caused the Shura to mobilize so many people. If you can provide us with a route that bypasses the Shura's defenses, we can help you hide it completely. What do you think?" A middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing said calmly. It was as if Fatty Pang had no other choice.
"After all this talk, it's still because of that piece of information. I was wondering why you didn't do anything. I thought you were interested in my little family property." Fatty Pang said sarcastically.
"The Shura's people in the other cities have already made their move. Most of your people have already surrendered. If you don't surrender, it means that you have no chance at all. Therefore, you are all alone. So be sensible. At least we can keep you safe." The purple-robed old man continued to threaten him.
"That's where they are. You sneaked in. Aren't you afraid that the Shura will come after you?" Fatty Pang looked at the two people in front of him. Their strength was about the same as his. They were just trying to survive in this place.
"Don't ask. Just tell us. If you can't tell us, tell us." The purple-robed old man continued to say. He was getting impatient.
"Fatty Pang, we have known each other for many years. So don't make things difficult for us. After all, you are the one who made the mistake. It's better for everyone if you tell us." The middle-aged man next to him tried to persuade him.
"It's because we know each other that I don't trust you. If you have the ability, come and take it. Let's see if I will tell you or not."
As soon as Fatty Pang finished speaking, he slammed his hand on the table. A large amount of multicolored light was emitted from the table, making his position as dazzling as a small sun. Then, he actually rushed towards the roof, wanting to escape from here.
"Crash!"
While he was in the air, the roof broke open. An enemy fell from above and blocked his escape route.
Fatty Pang had no choice but to fall down. However, before he could land, three people in front of him rushed over, waving their weapons in their hands. They wanted to capture him with lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, Fatty Pang was caught in a pincer attack. At this moment, a corner of the house suddenly broke open. A figure suddenly threw out a rope. In the blink of an eye, the rope wrapped around Fatty Pang's body and pulled him back. Fatty Pang's body flew towards the corner.
"Let's go. Didn't you say there was no problem? If I didn't come over to take a look, you would have died here. "Leng Xin, who broke open the wall in time to save Fatty Pang, couldn't help but say anxiously.
"How would I know they would find me? I was thinking of leaving this place, but I was blocked." Fatty Pang instantly replied. Then, he followed Leng Xin and flew outside.
As long as they left this sealed mansion, they wouldn't dare to make a move on the streets outside.
The two of them quickly escaped. In the next second, nearly ten people jumped out from other places and chased after them.
In a few breaths of time, Leng Xin and Fatty Pang had already arrived at another corner. A door with a seven-colored light had been erected in the corner.
He had taken the opportunity to set up this barrier. This barrier didn't affect the inside, so it would be easier to get out.
"Where do you think you're going?" When the purple-robed old man saw this scene, his expression changed. The people outside didn't notice that someone had sneaked in. This really annoyed him.
He threw out a ray of light from his hand. It flashed in the air and appeared behind Fatty Pang.
"Be careful!"
On the other side, Leng Xin suddenly stopped. She wanted to use her body to help him block the attack, but suddenly, a huge impact rose from under their feet.
The huge shock wave blew away the attack in an instant. At the same time, the two of them flew out and rolled towards the colorful door behind them.
However, they had just appeared outside, so they didn't have time to react.
The two people who were guarding outside were already stationed here, waiting for an unexpected situation inside. After seeing this, they immediately attacked from the left and right.
"Pu!"
Leng Xin couldn't react in time. His body was hit by two palms. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted. Then, he lost consciousness.
