After Gu Zheng came out of the Ghost Forest, he found that the cave in the distance was in a panic. The previous concealment was now gone, and he could easily see everything inside.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Zheng hid his figure and walked inside.
At this time, many people were led by a group of people and began to take things in an orderly manner, but only those with some cultivation.
As for the ordinary people, no one asked them, so naturally they were in a panic and didn't know what to do.
Following the familiar aura, Gu Zheng went all the way to the deepest part of the cave. There was an independent cave where Ren Xue's aura was.
As soon as Gu Zheng walked in, he saw Yin Cheng kneeling on the ground, and Master Yan who died with his eyes open. Next to him were the two people who came to catch Li Le, and they were also lying on the ground.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng directly revealed his figure.
"Young Master!"
Xiao Ying saw Gu Zheng and immediately ran over. If it wasn't for Gu Zheng's message, she wouldn't have believed this woman.
"What's going on here?" Gu Zheng didn't ask about the dead person. At a glance, he knew that it was Ren Xue who killed him, and Li Le was still talking to Yin Cheng.
"It's a long story, I didn't expect to see Young Master Gu here. It's really fate." Ren Xue smiled and said.
Since Gu Zheng had returned, then there was no need to say anything more. That person was definitely dead.
But in her heart, she was secretly surprised. She didn't expect that the powerful Elder Ma would die in his hands in such a short period of time. Gu Zheng's strength was too terrifying.
"Hehe, I also didn't expect it. But why are you here? What are you doing here?" Gu Zheng looked around and didn't see anything.
"This is a mining city. After I was thrown out, I received their invitation. Originally, I didn't want to join them, but because of some things, I have to join them." Ren Xue hesitated for a moment and said ambiguously.
"Elder Ren, all of us have gathered. What about those mortals?" At this moment, a loud voice came from outside.
"Right now, Elder Ma is still holding off the enemies outside, stalling for time for us. We can't let him down. Let's retreat immediately. You guys go first. I'll go and see if I can bring Elder Ma with me." Ren Xue also loudly ordered.
"As for the mortals, tell them to stay here quietly and return to the mining city on their own after a day. If anyone tries to take advantage of the chaos, kill them.
"Yes!"
The person outside replied solemnly and then hurried out.
"What's going on? Even if I'm here, I can't possibly make all of you retreat." Gu Zheng said jokingly. He didn't know why the other party wanted to kill that person and even left so solemnly, as if some kind of danger had arrived.
"Right now, I am in a somewhat evil sect. I am helping them plot to resurrect their master. Of course, I am only a guest. Although I do not have access to the core, I feel like it is some kind of demon."
Ren Xue looked at Li Lei who stepped forward and slapped Silver City's face. After a few slaps, Silver City's face turned into a pig's head.
"A few days ago, someone from the same sect, probably with the same goal as us, wearing a purple robe, passed by here and told us that their mission had failed. Moreover, the enemy seemed to have recovered. They kindly told us to leave. They even invited us to deal with a demon beast with an ancient phoenix in high spirits. I didn't expect them to return in such a sorry state."
Ren Xue's expression was a little gloating. Obviously, she was very happy to see them fail.
"Was it a person in a black robe and a purple hat with the strength of a late-stage Grand Luo?" Gu Zheng asked subconsciously after listening to her.
"You know this too? You haven't seen it before. "This time, it was Ren Xue's turn to be shocked.
"Of course I don't know. The place they went happened to be where I was. I killed three of the four people." Gu Zheng also told the truth and then asked.
"Don't you know what they want to resurrect?"
Zhu Niao didn't tell him. He didn't expect there to be another one here. It seemed to be divided into two places.
"I don't know. After all, I didn't break into the other party's core, so I don't know at all." Speaking until here, Ren Xue then said to Gu Zheng via sound transmission.
"No wonder the other party fled in a sorry state. They are really too powerful. Now my master is surrounded by the other party and is also being used as nourishment. Therefore, Elder Ma who knows a little of the truth must die. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the other party's death will not arouse suspicion. Thank you."
"I see. Do you want me to help? What about Li Le? Why do you want to take her away? "Gu Zheng nodded and also sent a sound transmission.
"No need. Master's situation is special. He can't completely use force. Li Le's cultivation method is very similar to mine. Even her body is the same. I suspect that she is another disciple of my master. I want to take her away and have a look. With her help, my master's chances of being rescued will be higher." Ren Xue explained.
Even if she didn't distinguish between evil and evil, even if she sacrificed more people in order to save her master, she wouldn't frown. This was her way of doing things.
"What are you talking about? I'm done here. It's really satisfying." Li Le came over with a smile, as if the matter just now had been forgotten.
"It's okay. Now I also need to leave here. If you want to hit me, don't be polite. Just directly hit me until I'm seriously injured. And if you see the person you are talking about, then come with me."
Ren Xue said to Gu Zheng, while the latter part was said to Ren Xue.
"I'll go, of course I'll go. I used to owe her something. There are some things I have to say face to face." Li Le agreed without hesitation.
"That's for the best." Ren Xue turned to look at Gu Zheng. At the same time, she put a pill in her mouth. Her meaning was too clear.
Gu Zheng took a deep breath, raised his hand and lightly hit her chest.
"Pu!"
It didn't seem to have any power, but the instant it touched her, Ren Xue's face turned pale. She directly fainted and fell to the ground. She didn't even have a chance to swallow the pill in her mouth.
"If you want to put on a show, then go all the way. Li Le, take her away from here. Don't worry, although her injuries look serious, she won't die. She just needs to rest a bit. That's the only way to make it more real." Gu Zheng looked at Li Le as she picked up Ren Xue.
"Gu Zheng, take care of yourself. I need to go see my disciple. Perhaps this person stronger than me is my grand-disciple." Li Le nodded, seeming to understand something. She turned to Gu Zheng.
"If you need my help, please crush this. As long as you don't lose it, I can find you no matter how far you go." Gu Zheng handed over a golden crystal core. That could count as her guarantee. He couldn't let her die in front of him. Furthermore, she had saved his life before.
Because Xiao Ying's words flashed through his mind. Even if Gu Zheng felt that he wouldn't be able to make it in time, Ren Xue wouldn't allow him to kill Li Le. In that case, perhaps there would be danger in the future. Of course, it would be best if there was no danger.
"Alright, goodbye." Li Le straightforwardly took the crystal core and disappeared from the cave.
"Let's go as well," Gu Zheng said to Xiao Ying, who was standing to the side, when he sensed the other party's aura rapidly leaving this place.
In the next moment, they also disappeared from the cave.
After they left, the entire room fell silent. After an unknown period of time, a cough sounded in the air.
The pig-faced Silver City got up with a venomous look on his face. He looked around at the empty spot where Li Le had last left.
"I'll report what you've done. I'll make sure you die a miserable death."
A cold voice squeezed out from his mouth. Anyone could hear the resentment in his voice.
After resting for a moment, Zhang Xuan dragged his injured body out of the room.
Bang!
Silvermoon walked straight towards the exit. However, there was an invisible barrier at the entrance. He didn't notice it and directly bumped into it, knocking him to the ground.
"What's going on?!"
Silvermoon hurriedly got up and felt his way forward. A transparent barrier blocked the exit, blocking his path. He hurriedly raised his fist and punched the barrier. He even found a relatively large rock on the ground.
But no matter what, the barrier remained firmly in front of him. Not even a single ripple appeared on it.
"Save me, quickly save me."
At this time, a small group of humans came from the distance. Silvermoon was overjoyed and quickly called for help.
But he saw that the other side didn't seem to hear him at all. They were minding their own business and walking towards him.
"This place has already been locked. It seems that the immortals have already left. Let's go too. Everyone has gathered, no one is left behind."
The group of people arrived in front of Silvermoon and glanced at him.
"Since that's the case, let's leave. There's no need to ask them to leave." The leader nodded and hurriedly led the group away.
"Don't go, I'm here. Save me, I'm Silvermoon, young master Silvermoon. Do you want to live or not?"
Seeing the people in front of him leave just like that, Yin Cheng screamed from inside. He frantically punched the people in front of him. Even though his hands were bleeding, those people couldn't see or hear him at all. They quickly left this place.
"Damn it."
Silvermoon said weakly as he lay on the ground. At the same time, he looked at the small room. It was all thick rocks. With his strength, he couldn't dig out a way to escape.
Silvermoon despaired. It wasn't that the other party wanted to let him go. After knowing their secret, they actually wanted to starve him to death. Too cruel.
"My path of cultivation hasn't even begun. Is it going to end?"
No matter how unwilling he was, the only thing that awaited him was death.
After all, he was no different from a normal person. He also needed food to satisfy his hunger.
.....
Gu Zheng naturally knew what happened to Silvermoon. That defense was even set up by Li Le. He saw it with his own eyes. However, he didn't ask about it. Silvermoon's death seeking actions had doomed him. If he didn't want to capture Li Le, he might have been able to keep his life.
After they left, they hurried all the way to Aurora City.
After taking a big detour, they finally came back.
Of course, Gu Zheng had some other thoughts. At this time, he couldn't contact Zi Yi. He also didn't know where she went during the hundreds of years he stayed in the Dragon Phoenix Ruins.
Otherwise, Gu Zheng would have gone to find Zi Yi. He wanted to see if he could meet the Shura there and ask about Pan Xuan's existence.
After a few months of hurrying, Gu Zheng and the rest finally came back. After disguising themselves, they followed the flow of people and entered Aurora City.
Even after hundreds of years, the place didn't change much. There were a few new houses, some places seemed to have changed, and the flow of people seemed to have increased.
Gu Zheng walked around aimlessly in a circle before leaving the city once more.
At this time, there wasn't a single Shura in the city. Even Kun Yu and the rest were nowhere to be seen. It was as if everything here had been abandoned.
"Young Master, where are we going next?" Xiao Ying, who had reverted to her true form, walked around in a circle in the empty wilderness. When she saw Gu Zheng standing there, she leaned over and spoke.
"We've been on the road for so long. Let's rest for a few days. We'll go to the other cities to take a look. Aren't we just going to search bit by bit?"
Xiao Ying's words woke Gu Zheng up. He looked at Xiao Ying, who was tired from the journey, and said.
"Okay, we'll stay here? Not bad. " Xiao Ying pointed to the side. There was a grassland over there that was much better than the yellow soil.
"Of course not. Did you forget the place Leng Xin brought us to last time? Let's go there and see if we can see them. Even if they left, it's a good place to rest. "Gu Zheng chuckled.
Even if they ran a little further, it was still more comfortable than the wilderness.
"Yeah, I almost forgot. Let's go!" Xiao Ying said excitedly. She liked that place a lot.
The two of them once again flew into the distance. It was only when they saw the familiar mountain peak in the distance that they slowed down and stopped outside the mountain peak.
"Follow behind me."
Gu Zheng casually instructed Xiao Ying, and then he took the lead and walked in.
Xiao Ying's figure immediately descended. She followed behind Gu Zheng and entered the mountain peak together.
Just like before, there was even a finger-thick layer of dust in the cave outside. It was obvious that no one had come here for a long time. The air also had a faint stuffy feeling.
As they walked into the passageway, Gu Zheng sensed movement behind him. He turned around and saw Xiao Ying raising her small hand and smiling at him. He also reached out his hand and pulled her along. Like a kite, he continued to walk inside.
Soon, they reached the end of the tunnel. As they walked out, Gu Zheng subconsciously closed his eyes. He hadn't forgotten the glaring light from the last time he came out. Although he wasn't hurt at all, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
However, when he opened his eyes again, Gu Zheng's expression changed slightly. There was no longer a valley in front of him. The entire air was filled with a faint white mist. It was very faint and didn't affect his vision at all.
"Young Master, did they renovate this place? It seems to be more hidden. "Xiao Ying asked foolishly. At the same time, she looked around with interest.
Below them, there was still a familiar lake and a few familiar houses. The surrounding environment didn't seem to have changed much.
However, Gu Zheng noticed that the west side was also a cliff. At this time, there was no obstruction. It had become a passage filled with thick fog.
Moreover, there was also a thick fog above their heads. They couldn't sense anything outside.
"Don't be silly. Be careful. We have entered a trap set up by others. It seems like this place is an illusion array." Gu Zheng saw that Xiao Ying still hadn't reacted. He helplessly reminded her.
"Oh, oh, oh. I was wondering why I didn't see them. So it was like this. Doesn't that mean there are enemies outside?" Xiao Ying heard all kinds of words. Only then did she react. Her eyes immediately became vigilant.
"Of course. You think there is no problem. Maybe the other party heard what you said and is laughing at you. Follow me down. If you stand here, you won't be able to get out."
Gu Zheng glanced at the wall behind him. It was also covered with a faint layer of fog. When he touched it, it felt illusory. He couldn't go back the way he came.
The place set up by the other party was really ingenious. This was especially so for people who had been here a few times. They didn't have any defenses at all.
As Gu Zheng and the others went down, a medium-sized stone tablet stood in the path they had to pass. It was emitting a hazy white light. Anyone would be attracted to it.
"Ruins of the End Illusion Array."
Four large and powerful words were engraved on it.
"The master of this magic array sure is arrogant. He even revealed his name. Is he afraid that the other party doesn't know about this place?" Gu Zheng snorted coldly and a sky-soaring aura abruptly spread out from his body.
Under this aura, the surrounding fog disappeared like clouds. Even the thick fog below had a passage forcefully pressed out. However, the thick fog in the air didn't change at all. From the black light that was constantly emitting from it, it was obvious that someone outside was pressing down on this place.
"Gu Zheng, I didn't expect that we would meet again. Just as I was about to leave this place, we can meet again. What fate."
A voice that Gu Zheng was completely unfamiliar with suddenly rang out in the air. However, the other party seemed to know him.
"Have we met before? But I don't have the slightest impression of you. "Gu Zheng shielded Xiao Ying behind him and then said.
"Of course not. In fact, this is the first time I've seen you here. However, I've seen your figure before. He's ashamed of you for ruining Lord Wen's plans one after another." The voice continued to ring out in the air.
"You're from Wen Tianhou? He really didn't die. " When Gu Zheng heard this, he was stunned. Thinking of how he ran away in the end, he really didn't expect to meet his people here.
"How could he die? My master is going to do great things and become a saint in the future."
"You're right. I don't know why you were defeated and fled last time. You even wanted to snatch the remnant soul of the black dragon." Gu Zheng thought of the good dragon that was recuperating on his body. Unfortunately, it was now in a coma and he didn't know how to recover.
"If my master's true body can come out, you trash can be crushed to death with one hand. Unfortunately, humph, I don't want to talk nonsense. I still have things to do. You guys stay here so that you don't disturb our plans."
The voice said disdainfully. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he directly said this.
"You coward. If you have the ability, don't leave. Wait for me to come out and see how I'll deal with you." Gu Zheng raised his head and shouted at the sky. At the same time, he carefully observed this place.
However, the other party didn't respond. Just as the other party said, he had already left.
"Young master, look over there. There's a new situation." At this time, Xiao Ying pointed to the front and said.
