"Young Master You, aren't you afraid that your Yan 'er will be sad by doing this?"
A mocking voice rang out in the air, causing his body to stiffen. His arm stopped in mid-air.
"Who are you?" You Zhu retracted her arm and turned to look at the other party with a serious expression.
"Don't ask me who I am. Just know that we're together. If you destroy the control, you'll definitely be exposed. I don't know what's going on inside. Anyway, I'm not of much use. I'll just stay here and guard this passage for you."
Gu Zheng chuckled. Taking advantage of the other party's distraction, he quickly grabbed the water ball in his hand and snatched it away to prevent him from doing anything stupid.
"You can't guard this place at all. Only by completely destroying the crystal ball can you stop the vortex from closing. Otherwise, when he arrives, you'll die here. The end result will be the same." You Zhu didn't know who the other party was, but if he knew her identity, he must be a confidant of the Sea King.
One had to know that other than the four clan leaders, there were only a few people who knew of his identity.
"Don't worry, I'm not alone. This isn't the time to be exposed. Let's wait here for the Sea King. You should hurry back."
As Gu Zheng spoke, there was a rustling sound from the forest in the distance. Dozens of people emerged from it.
"You guys are together. You guys came together. But I really don't understand." You Zhu saw Pan Xuan and the others coming over and said in shock. The Shura people were invited by Sen Lu. How dare they betray him?
"It's just a show outside. We're stuck here. If we go in, we won't be able to do much since we're not familiar with the terrain." Pan Xuan quickly walked over and nodded at Gu Zheng, indicating that no one knew they were coming. This way, they could buy some time.
"I'll say it again. You guys can't stop Sen Lu. If he realizes something is wrong, these few days won't be of any use. Just do as I said and completely destroy this crystal. This way, Sen Lu won't be able to do anything." You Zhu shook her head and said.
"I have the blood-colored token given to me by the Patriarch. If the other party wants to break it, he's still too weak."
As Pan Xuan spoke, she stretched out her palm. Under their gazes, strands of blood gathered in her palm and finally formed a blood-red token.
The entire token was made of blood, and it swayed faintly in her hand. It looked like it could spread out at any time. Ripples constantly flashed on it, making the only "Luo" character on it look full of blood.
What was even more reassuring was that the trace of the energy of the Grand Dao contained within it was a drop of her ancestor's blood that had fused into it. Combined with some unknown things, it had completely formed this command token.
"This token can seal off the surrounding space. Even a Quasi-Sage wouldn't be able to break through it in three thousand years. It can also guarantee that this passageway will be safe." Pan Xuan said confidently. It was also her biggest trump card. Unfortunately, she only had one.
"If that's the case, then we can really defend this place." Seeing this, You Zhu also breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, then they could definitely defend this place.
However, he didn't know who this female Asura named Pan Xuan was. How could she have such an item? Could she be a rising star among the Asuras? Also, how did this man named Gu Zheng get involved with the Sea Tribe?
Gu Zheng? Gu Zheng!
He suddenly remembered that thousands of years ago, when he met with the Sea King, he mentioned by chance that he had helped the Sea King cure his son's illness. Only then did he discover that the Blue Medicine Sect had harmed his son. That was why he was preparing to attack the Blue Medicine Sect. This was exactly what he wanted.
No wonder the other party knew about him. The only thing he didn't understand was why the Asura would help the Sea Tribe. One had to know that not only did the two not have any interactions, they even had countless grudges.
Thinking of this, his eyes unconsciously looked at Gu Zheng. The other party was following the orders of the Patriarch. Normally, it was impossible to change. The only exception was this human.
"Don't look at it anymore. Wait for a while and get ready to go back. This thing can't break through the seal." Gu Zheng looked at the other party's eyes that were constantly changing. He didn't know what the other party was thinking. He immediately stuffed the crystal ball into the other party's hand.
"Then let's have a fight." On the other side, You Zhu kept the crystal ball. She only made the vortex look like it was about to collapse. In fact, it was very stable inside. If no one interfered, it would stay like this for a few years until the energy to open it was exhausted.
Gu Zheng was stunned. He understood the other party's thoughts. The two of them rushed into the depths of the forest at almost the same time.
"Everyone, gather here. Wait here and have a good rest." Pan Xuan didn't ask them. She clapped her hands and said to her subordinates.
Even if it was just an act, it was actually more painful than a real battle. Everyone was tired and this couldn't be faked. It also allowed them to smoothly find a reason to stop at the back without arousing any suspicion.
Only three days later, a huge wave began to violently collide in the air. The forest in the middle was directly turned into an open space. After only half a day, Gu Zheng returned to the front of the passage.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I just need to rest a bit more."
Facing Pan Xuan's question, Gu Zheng shook his head and smoothed out some of the wrinkles on his body.
This time, they didn't show any mercy at all. They fought as if they were mortal enemies. The only difference was that they knew they couldn't kill each other in the end. Even so, Gu Zheng was still injured by the other party, and You Zhu was even beaten into a state of near death.
Gu Zheng left the other party at the same place and didn't even feed him a single pill. It wasn't that he was cold, but that he didn't want Sen Lu to have any suspicions.
"Then hurry up and rest. I'm going to seal the surroundings now. If the other party sneak attacks, I'm afraid it'll be too late." Pan Xuan didn't say anything.
As Gu Zheng sat down in an open space beside the vortex, the blood-red token in Pan Xuan's hand appeared again. It turned into a bloody light and scattered in the air.
Every bloody light quickly intertwined in the air like a mortal weaving cloth. They shuttled back and forth in the air and a dense net gradually appeared in the air.
When the surroundings were completely covered by the bloody net, every knot on the net flashed with a dense bloody light and rushed towards the vortex in the middle.
In the blink of an eye, countless bloody lights pierced into the blue vortex, causing the vortex to slowly stop spinning. In the end, it stopped moving in the air, but it didn't affect the passage inside at all.
Unfortunately, this vortex was a one-way path and there was no way out.
Gu Zheng clearly felt that the surrounding space had completely solidified. The streaks of blood-red light had locked down all the nearby space. Without breaking through the barrier formed by the blood-red token, no spatial type magic treasure would be able to work within it.
As the bloody light in the air gradually disappeared, the surroundings returned to its original state. No one could feel anything wrong at all.
After Pan Xuan finished, she also came to the back and sat down cross-legged not far from Gu Zheng. She also began to quietly recover.
At this time, in the depths of the island, there was a huge valley. There were broken halls everywhere. There were also small mountain ranges in Zhong Hai, some long and some short. It was as if it was originally a huge mountain range, but people thought that it was carved out to separate this huge valley into different places.
At this time, near the back, Sen Lu saw the teleportation formation in front of him light up and the hundreds of people inside instantly disappeared.
These people had already chosen a place and were waiting for them. Because of the lack of time, that place was only a prototype.
"Why isn't You Zhu back yet?" Seeing that the teleportation formation was on cooldown, Sen Lu subconsciously wanted to find You Zhu, but he couldn't find her at all.
"I don't know. Now that those people are here, it stands to reason that You Zhu should also be here." Sen Yan said with a strange expression. She looked at the crowd and couldn't find You Zhu's figure. She couldn't help but panic.
"Go to where we came in and see what's going on. Also, see who's missing from the group. " Sen Lu pondered for a moment and felt something was wrong in his heart. He then pointed at the two elite disciples beside him.
"Yes."
When the two elite disciples heard this, they immediately rushed outside. Soon, they passed by the group that was temporarily resting and left Sen Lu's sight.
"Forest Gate. Do you need our help?" Uncle Gao asked with a smile as he walked over.
"Not for now. Elder Gao, please rest more. I feel the situation is not good." Sen Lu looked at the mountain peak to the side. There was a huge layer of golden light that was slowly fading, but the speed was so slow that it made one's heart ache.
The protection that they were once proud of now looks like a failure. Who would've thought that at this time, they would only be able to watch the restrictions of the treasure area open up bit by bit.
The majority of the Blue Medicine Sect's wealth is here, they can't not take it with them.
"Okay, I understand. If you need anything, you must let me know." Uncle Gao still had that smile on his face as he retreated.
"That old fart, isn't he going to open up the passage on the side? Otherwise, wouldn't my trip be in vain?"
One must know that the area above the valley could be said to be the heart of the Holy Ground. Naturally, there was nothing left inside. However, due to some strange mechanisms in the other paths, even the Blue Medicine Sect couldn't pass through. It wasn't something that could be done by relying on brute force alone.
"How is it? What did Sect Master Sen say? "When Uncle Gao came down, his companion quietly asked.
"Nothing, it seems the other party doesn't intend to give up control of this valley. Don't worry, I don't think the sea race will let them leave so easily." Uncle Gao said without changing his expression, but there was a flash of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
The Holy Ground had already been under the control of the Blue Medicine Sect. Aside from this valley, all other forks in the road had been sealed off. If they wanted to enter, they would have to break through this layer of protection. However, that would be too obvious so they could only wait quietly.
Half a day later, the two disciples who ran out before quickly rushed back, but this time, they were carrying a dying You Zhu in their hands as they quickly rushed forward.
"What's going on!" On the other side, Sen Lu's figure instantly fell down and grabbed the two disciples. In an instant, they were lifted to the open space in front of them.
"Sect Master, he was already like this when we found him." The one on the left was startled and immediately said.
"We found Vice Sect Leader You in the forest ahead. Then, we saw that the Shura people had already taken over the blue whirlpool. We didn't dare to go near it, so we hurriedly returned." Another person hurriedly said after hearing his words.
"Father, what happened to my husband?!" Sen Yan also rushed over. Seeing You Zhu's miserable state, her eyes were filled with tears. However, she forced herself not to stay and sobbed.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. He can still be saved." Sen Lu removed his hand from You Zhu's body and immediately took out a Dan pill from his chest and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Help him neutralize the medicine, then tell me in detail what happened," Sen Lu said to Sen Yan, then turned to the two elite disciples beside her.
"Husband." Sen Yan pressed her hands on his chest, her hands releasing a faint light as she helped him dissolve the pill.
Seeing the hideous wounds on his body, the tears in her eyes finally couldn't help but fall.
"So it's like this. That Shura person and the person who came with him actually betrayed us?" Veins popped out on Sen Lu's hands as he looked down coldly. He had thought that some people might escape in the end, but he definitely didn't expect that Shura to betray him.
He thought of the man who came with him. His intuition told him that the Shura's betrayal was definitely related to him.
"This …" The two people didn't dare to speak and stammered.
"Go do what you need to do. I got it." Sen Lu took a deep breath and waved them away.
"En."
You Zhu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly groaned and slowly opened her eyes. She saw Sen Yan's surprised and teary eyes.
"I'll do it myself." You Zhu felt the pain in her body. The other party was really ruthless. With Sen Yan's help, she finally managed to do it.
"Husband, you're finally awake. You scared me to death." Sen Yan wiped her tears and cried with joy. At first, she really thought that You Zhu wouldn't wake up.
"I'm fine. Don't cry. I'm fine, aren't I?" You Zhu forced a smile, but accidentally pulled on her wound, causing her to suck in a breath of cold air.
"Don't move. I'll heal you." Sen Yan saw this and hurriedly came behind her. She placed her hand on his shoulder and helped him heal the hidden injuries in his body.
"Sect Master, I'm sorry. I didn't close the teleportation channel." You Zhu looked at Sen Lu and smiled bitterly. At the same time, she took out a slightly damaged blue crystal.
Although it was a little damaged, it could still be used.
"Who beat you up like this? Did the two of them work together to beat you up?" Sen Lu asked. You Zhu's strength was also very good. She was very strong against opponents of the same level.
"No, it was that man who followed Asura Pan Xuan. He sneak-attacked me from behind and then fought with him. In the end, he was beaten up like this. He's really powerful. I feel that his actual battle strength is at the mid-stage Grand Immortal Realm." You Zhu said frankly.
"Rest here. I want to see why he dares to betray us at this time." Sen Lu glanced at You Zhu and didn't say anything. His figure flashed and disappeared.
Seeing Sen Lu leave, You Zhu heaved a sigh of relief. The other party's attitude was so cold. She clearly felt that the other party was suspicious of her. She was also a member of the Sea Clan. At this juncture, even if she was his son-in-law, he would still be suspicious.
"Don't blame father. He's just a little nervous. Everything is fine." Sen Yan could also feel the difference and immediately comforted her.
"I know. I don't blame him." You Zhu closed her eyes and began to heal her injuries.
The pill that Sen Lu gave her was the pill that he gave to Gu Zheng. It quickly healed her body.
On the other side, Sen Lu quickly flew towards the place where he first came in. Soon, he arrived at the place where You Zhu was discovered.
Originally, he wanted to continue forward. However, near the blue whirlpool, there was a faint spatial power. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to detect anything there.
His figure walked in the middle of the open space. He could still vaguely feel the aura of the battle around him.
With a flip of his hand, a mirror that seemed to be a woman's hand appeared in his hand. The patterns around it began to brighten as he injected his magic power into it. Traces of silver mist flickered on the surface of the mirror, causing the scene reflected in the mirror to become somewhat blurry.
Sensing that the spatial energy in his hand was getting stronger and stronger, Sen Lu suddenly threw the mirror in his hand into the air. A silver light shone from the mirror, and a layer of hazy silver light like moonlight enveloped the surroundings.
Sen Lu retreated outside. His expression was solemn. He carefully looked in front of him and constantly made hand seals.
Soon, under the hazy moonlight, two shadows rushed in from the front.
From the silhouette, it was Gu Zheng and You Zhu.
Although it was just a shadow, it could be seen that You Zhu was heavily injured. Her movements were not as smooth as before.
The shadow behind her took out a weapon. In the dark shadow, one could see a flash of golden light. This made Sen Lu's expression more serious. Clearly, this weapon was not an ordinary one.
Soon after, the two shadows began to fight in the open space. However, it was obvious that You Zhu was suppressed from the beginning to the end. There were even a few times when You Zhu was almost killed by the other party.
Sen Lu watched carefully. In the end, You Zhu's chest was pierced by the opponent's sword. That Gu Zheng pulled out his sword and left without looking.
After You Zhu's figure left, a black light suddenly burst out from her body and covered You Zhu's body. This saved her life. She then fainted.
Sen Lu knew that this was the sachet his daughter gave him. It contained something he prepared. It would only be activated under certain circumstances.
If it wasn't for this sachet, she probably wouldn't have made it back. She might have died from her injuries.
Seeing this, Sen Lu put away the magic treasure. It seemed that You Zhu was fine. His worries were unnecessary.
In the next moment, he appeared in front of the blue whirlpool. He looked at the shura group and the man called Gu Zheng.
