"Are you sure it's here?"
In the air, Gu Zheng looked at the snow-white mountain range in front of him. From above, it looked exactly the same. He couldn't tell the difference at all.
The little fox nodded and pointed at a mountain peak below. It kept chirping as if to tell Gu Zheng that it was there.
Seeing this, the group of people immediately descended at high speed.
"Where exactly is it?"
Looking at the snow-white surroundings, they couldn't tell where it was, so they couldn't help but ask again.
This time, the little fox shook its head and pointed at the surroundings, as if to say that it was nearby.
"Alright, since we're here, we should be able to find it soon. Everyone has worked hard for the past few months, so let's take a rest first. I'll go take a look around." Gu Zheng saw that the little fox didn't know where it was, and felt that it was normal. It was already very good that it could come here, so he said to the group.
"This amount of time won't tire us out at all. Why don't we look around together?" Li Le said to Gu Zheng. He didn't have any intention of resting.
"Alright then, let's enjoy the beautiful scenery here." Seeing that Xiao Ying was also doing the same, Gu Zheng could only helplessly say.
After saying that, he handed the exhausted little fox over to Xiao Ying, and the latter lay down beside the sleeping kitten, quietly lying down as well.
These past few days had really tired him out, but Gu Zheng had also given him a lot of elixirs. When the time was right, there would be no problem with his Spiritual Incarnation, so it could be considered his reward.
The three of them walked on the snow-covered ground. Light snow was still falling from the sky, but looking at the situation, it seemed that the snow season was about to end.
This mountain range wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either. In order to prevent missing anything, Gu Zheng's group went in circles from the outermost area. Even though Gu Zheng felt that the other party should be inside the mountain, he still didn't let go of the outermost area.
In just a day, everything in the outermost area had been searched. At this time, they were already at the foot of the mountain.
"There are bloodstains here."
Just as they arrived, Li Le's face suddenly froze. He squatted down and looked at the white snow on the ground.
"It's the blood of an animal, but it seems to have been killed by someone else, not its own kind." Li Le stood up and continued.
"You also know this!" Xiao Ying said in shock.
"Of course, if it's you, you can do it too." Li Le looked at Xiao Ying and said with certainty.
"What do you mean?" Gu Zheng ignored the two Amen and raised his eyebrows as he asked Li Le.
"En."
Li Le nodded, affirming Gu Zheng's thoughts.
Gu Zheng looked around and couldn't see any traces left behind. Even if there were, they would have been buried by the snow.
Gu Zheng suddenly stomped his foot, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
With Gu Zheng as the center, all the snowflakes within a radius of several hundred meters silently melted, revealing everything that had been hidden below, including the cave on the hillside.
"Young Master, look over there." Xiao Ying couldn't help but say.
"I know. Looks like we're in luck." Gu Zheng nodded and said with a smile. If Li Le hadn't found the blood, he wouldn't have thought of it and would have to use his Divine Sense to explore slowly.
But in fact, the surroundings had been explored just now, and they didn't find the cave at all. Even if they stood in front of the cave and used their Divine Sense to look at it, it still felt like the ground.
However, as soon as they entered, their expressions changed abruptly from relaxed to solemn.
"Others have been here, and they are very strong." Li Le said seriously.
Gu Zheng closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said, "There are four people in total. Two of them are early-stage Grand Immortal, one is mid-stage Grand Immortal, and one is late-stage Grand Immortal."
"They don't know? Then do we still have to go in?" Xiao Ying asked in disbelief when she heard such a luxurious lineup. With their cultivation, even a late-stage Grand Immortal was enough to deal with them.
"Go in, why wouldn't we? My friend is a peak Grand Immortal. But from the looks of it, the other party doesn't seem to be in a good situation. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people here." Gu Zheng looked at the dark passage and said firmly.
If it was before, even if Gu Zheng wanted to go, he would still have to consider it. At least, he wouldn't let Xiao Ying and Li Le go forward. After all, they couldn't even restrain the other party with their strength. But now, the enemy was in the dark, and he was in the light. If he prepared carefully, he wouldn't be afraid of the other party.
There was only one possibility for him to leave, and that was that the divine bird was injured. If that was the case, Gu Zheng wouldn't be able to resist their attacks no matter what.
However, the other party had only come here a few days ago. If they wanted to kill the divine bird, it was probably still not enough. Maybe he could catch up and cooperate with them to kill these external enemies.
No matter what the reason was, the divine bird and Elder Xiong were friends. Since he knew, he couldn't ignore it.
Xiao Ying and Li Le didn't say anything when they saw Gu Zheng like this. They just cast a technique to hide their auras to express their thoughts.
Soon, the three figures also slowly made their way in.
Following the slanted passage, they didn't leave any traces on the way. Soon, they arrived at the bottom floor. It was a spacious room, and at this time, there was an open door in the middle. The rest of the room was empty.
The auras of the other people disappeared at the same time. Even Gu Zheng felt a familiar aura here.
Gu Zheng felt a cry coming from behind him. He turned around and saw the little fox pointing at the door of light and roaring loudly. When it saw Gu Zheng looking over, it stood up and pointed its two front paws in front of it.
"I know, you have to be quiet. Don't make a sound." Gu Zheng nodded. He didn't need the little fox to remind him. He knew because he felt a familiar aura.
Immediately after, Gu Zheng and the others checked again and directly rushed into the light door.
Gu Zheng felt his eyes light up. He appeared in a spacious cave, and in front of him was still a passage. However, this time, it was forcibly destroyed and looked bumpy. The traps in front of him had been forcibly broken by the other party.
Not far in front of him, bursts of angry shouts came constantly, mixed with the sound of explosions. Even here, he could feel the powerful vibrations. The surrounding walls were constantly trembling, as if they were about to collapse.
However, this place was obviously not like the bottom of a mountain range. It was a self-created space. It was impossible for it to collapse, unless this space was destroyed.
Gu Zheng's lips moved slightly, and he ordered Li Le and Xiao Ying. Then, Gu Zheng quietly moved forward.
After leaving this passage, a huge square cave appeared in front of him. The entire cave was hundreds of meters high. In addition to a few thick stone pillars in the surroundings, there was a large magma lake below, which made the temperature of the entire cave very high.
At this time, in the cave, five figures were fighting fiercely. Four of them were wearing black robes with golden silk patterns. Their faces were covered with black veils, only revealing a pair of eyes. The only difference was that their hats were different in color, which could distinguish their identities.
Gu Zheng saw the purple hat on the first day because his strength was the highest among them. He was at the late stage of the Grand Immortal Realm, while the person in the blue hat was at the middle stage of the Grand Immortal Realm. The remaining two people were wearing black hats. It seemed that their status and strength were clear at a glance.
In the middle of the four of them, there was a divine bird covered in red flames. At this time, her condition was not very good. Obviously, she had suffered heavy injuries before. Under the pincer attack of the other party, she was in a disadvantageous position, attacking less and defending more.
At this time, the person in the purple hat who was leading the fierce attack was holding a two-handed sword. As he waved it, countless golden lightning snakes burst out from it. They wandered around, waiting for an opportunity to attack the divine bird in front of him.
The divine bird's entire body was glowing red. Countless red lights emerged from the magma below and poured into her body. Facing the attacks of the purple hat person, she could only try her best to dodge. It seemed that her hard body could not block the attacks of the other party at all. The surrounding lightning snakes took the opportunity to rush into her body, causing her body to tremble slightly.
The other person in the blue hat was holding a magic staff. Facing a flame dragon, a large mass of black silk emerged from his hand and shot towards the flame dragon. At this time, there were many palm-sized black holes on the flame dragon's body. Layers of black gas were emitted from them. Facing the enemy's attack, it could only resist because the divine bird was behind it.
As for the other two black-hat men, they were on the outside, restraining the Divine Bird's energy. Although it didn't seem to be of much use, the four of them were working together as one. It was as if they were stepping on some kind of joint attack formation, which not only greatly increased their attack power, but also increased their speed.
Gu Zheng looked carefully. He did not rush to help the divine bird. Instead, he secretly retreated and returned to the place where he came from.
In this short period of time, the originally spacious cave had expanded by a third. This was the order of Gu Zheng just now. He wanted them to expand this place.
"Young Master, is this enough?"
Seeing Gu Zheng return, Xiao Ying immediately stopped what she was doing and leaned over to ask.
"It's enough, it's completely enough." Gu Zheng looked around with satisfaction. This was enough to complete his plan.
"Then we should prepare to hide. As you said, we can't participate in this battle. It's better not to show off." Li Le nodded and said.
"Well, is the illusion ready?" Gu Zheng asked them one last time.
Li Le snapped his fingers, and a figure that looked exactly like Gu Zheng appeared in the place he had pointed out. It looked like it was trying to escape, but it was frozen in the air, and there was even a lifelike golden light around it.
"Not bad, it's perfect. You guys come back first." Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and flicked a drop of his blood, filling it with his aura. It looked even more lifelike.
Seeing this, Xiao Ying hated that her cultivation was too low. But she also knew that cultivation could not grow out of thin air. The most important thing was to have a good foundation. This was what her young master had repeatedly told her. He also told her not to look for so-called shortcuts.
Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Xiao Ying turned into a green light and rushed into Gu Zheng's arms. The little fox and the kitten were brought into the painting.
Li Le's figure also turned, turning into a palm-sized flower with a red flower the size of a fingernail. It sank into Gu Zheng's hair, completely concealing its body.
At this time, Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the five rings floated in the air. There were only occasional flashes of color on them to show their figures.
Now, the five rings didn't look as distinct as before. They were all white, and there were mountains, rivers, trees, swords, and flames engraved on them. However, the engravings were shallow, and only when the light flashed could one peek at them. Even the aura wasn't as aggressive as before.
If placed on the road, it could even be treated as a woman's decoration.
Under Gu Zheng's control, the five jade rings flew to five different corners and stopped in the air.
Gu Zheng sneered, and then made a few hand seals. Five golden lights linked the five jade rings together, and at the same time, they disappeared in the air, leaving only the lifelike illusion of Gu Zheng.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng removed his protection, and as if he had just arrived, he quickly flew to the front hall.
When Gu Zheng arrived, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Boy, no matter what you came here for, I advise you to leave this place obediently. I can pretend that I didn't see you. Otherwise, when we get out, you won't be able to escape our pursuit even if you run to the ends of the earth."
The blue hat man felt Gu Zheng's aura and found that he was only at the early stage of the Grand Immortal Realm. He then sighed in relief and immediately said to Gu Zheng without any trace of politeness.
In his opinion, the other party had just come here by accident looking for treasures. If he was sensible, he would retreat. After all, with their strength, unless the other party was stupid.
However, to his surprise, the person he thought was a fool smiled at them after hearing his threat. In the next moment, his face froze, and he shouted at the black hat man.
"Be careful."
Because the fool had already raised the weapon in his hand and slashed at them. A huge sword qi appeared out of thin air, and with a fierce aura, it whistled and slashed at the two black hat men.
When the two black-hat men saw such a powerful young master, they couldn't sit idly by and do nothing. They could only helplessly fly back. However, they could leave, but their connection to the array had already been severed by the sword Qi.
In the blink of an eye, the attack on this side was slightly reduced.
"You two go and kill this troublemaker."
Although they didn't have the enhancement of the joint attack formation, the advantage they had in the early stage was too great. In addition, the strange bird's injury had relapsed, so they could slowly torture the other party to death.
However, they couldn't be as fearless as before. After all, the other party's attack was very fierce. If they were accidentally injured here, the result would be hard to say. However, with the help of the blue hat man, there shouldn't be any problems.
When the two black hat men heard his words, they gave up on continuing to form the formation. They drew their weapons and directly flew toward Gu Zheng aggressively.
When Gu Zheng saw that his plan had succeeded, he looked surprised. He didn't expect that the other party would chase after him. He didn't stop them at all and directly flew back in panic.
"You still want to run? Unfortunately, that's a dead end. "
Seeing Gu Zheng running in that direction, the two black hat men laughed. Because the exit here was in the other direction, but it was also sealed by them. It could be said that no matter how the other party ran, he couldn't escape.
The moment they dared to attack, the other party was destined to die. If the other party didn't attack, when they were done, it would be the time of his death. This was because they couldn't leak the news. Unfortunately, they couldn't fool the person who broke in.
After Gu Zheng entered the passage, the two of them also rushed in after a breath of time. They saw Gu Zheng with his back facing them, as if he was trying to find the entrance to this place.
"Haha, don't waste your time. You can only blame your bad luck for coming here."
The two black clothed men looked at each other. As they spoke, the two of them flanked each other from the left and right, instantly pressing down on each other's shoulders.
At this moment, Gu Zheng's head finally turned around. His face was deathly pale, as if he had been frightened.
"It's a mentally disabled person. Kill him." One of the black clothed men saw the other party so panicked and said disdainfully. At the same time, he exerted a little force in his hand, holding the other party's body so that he couldn't resist. At the same time, he raised his hand and slashed down, cutting off the other party's head.
"Puff" a light sound.
As his weapon slashed, a green smoke came out from his hand, and then a small seed fell from the air to the ground.
The moment the two of them saw the person in their hands disappear, they flew in opposite directions almost at the same time.
But they were a little too late. A golden barrier had quietly risen around them, completely trapping them inside.
"I didn't expect you to come prepared. What's the relationship between that strange bird and you? Why didn't we have any news of you before? You actually risked your life to come here." One of the black hat men looked at the relaxed Gu Zheng outside and couldn't help but ask.
"Why are you talking nonsense with him? Does he think that he can kill us by relying on a temporary formation? Spend some energy to rush out and teach him a lesson. "
Without waiting for Gu Zheng to reply, the other black hat man said fiercely. At the same time, he picked up his weapon and slammed it against the barrier, but only a faint layer of ripples was left on it.
However, the rise of the ripples also caused the surrounding jade bracelets to appear in the air.
"Let's not talk about my relationship with the other party for now. Do you think that I can easily let me go after discovering your collusion? So I'm just making the first move. You can all die. " Gu Zheng's formation outside quietly rose. It could greatly conceal the movements here, so as to avoid attracting the enemy.
"You're really confident. Then let's see if you have the ability to quietly finish us off." The slightly calmer black hat man pulled his companion back a step. At the same time, his body emitted a variety of lights, ready to fight.
He believed that as long as he could hold on a little longer, the outside world would know what was happening here. At that time, it would be the death of the other party.
"I hope you can hold on."
Gu Zheng looked at the other party and smiled, revealing his white teeth. At the same time, he changed his hand gesture, and the five lights of different colors around him suddenly brightened.
A strange fluctuation spread in the air, and in the next moment, the five lights rushed toward the two black hat men who were ready to fight.
