In a dark underground cave, there were ancient oil lamps that illuminated the surroundings. One could see that there were many intersections in the surroundings that led to different directions.
At this time, there was a faint ripple in the middle, and a few people in black instantly appeared in the cave.
At this time, a few powerful auras suddenly rose in the surroundings. At the same time, a few figures quickly appeared from the surroundings and rushed towards the middle. Their fierce auras wanted to kill the other party.
However, just as the figures appeared, they stopped because they had recognized that the people who were teleported in were not enemies, but their own people.
"Lord Soul, I heard that you went to do something. I didn't expect you to come back. I'm really sorry." A person walked over and apologized to Zhu Hun.
"It's understandable. After all, that traitor has leaked too much information about us. However, you don't have to guard here anymore. I have completely destroyed the entrance." Zhu Hun was not angry and said to the surrounding people.
"That's great. The guards here have started a new wave of resistance. We just happen to be lacking manpower to suppress them. Those spirit bodies really can't be killed, nor can we completely suppress them. How annoying," the person immediately said.
"Thank you for your trouble. I still have something to do." Zhu Hun nodded and walked in another direction.
"What did your Lord Soul go to do? We are especially short of manpower here."
After Zhu Hun left, these people gathered together. Since no one would come in, there was no need to keep watch anymore. One of the black figures asked.
"Who knows? But that girl with him might have gone to catch that special painting spirit." Another person guessed.
"That painting spirit is said to be a special painting spirit that was produced outside. Not to mention its special ability, just its peerless talent of fusing with a part of the jade plate could allow it to see the future of the painting spirit. Unfortunately, it didn't go back immediately and was taken away by that human. This time, it might be brought back by the painting spirit race." Another person interrupted. He seemed to know a lot.
"Stop talking. Hurry up and suppress those spirit bodies. Those guys outside are restless and want to find the entrance to this place. Especially at the critical moment. If you don't want to be remembered by the Heavenly King, then be obedient. We were sent here. Don't let down the Heavenly King's trust."
The guy in the lead roared threateningly, scaring the people behind him. They immediately stopped talking and followed him to other places.
Zhu Hun walked all the way to the back. When he reached the core area, he suddenly heard a familiar voice and walked over.
"Black shadow, you still have the nerve to come here. You failed this time, so what are you doing here this time? You came to find trouble with me. Do you think I won't dare to do anything to you?" A gentle and angry female voice rang out in the air.
"I failed? Didn't you fail as well? Pan Xuan, you have the nerve to talk about me. This time, Young Master Feng sent me here. What can you do to me? "Black Shadow said in an unconcerned voice.
"Pan Xuan, don't talk too much. After all, we don't want you to quarrel this time. The loss of the Sword Spirit last time made us feel very awkward, so this time, we took the initiative to come here to watch over it for a thousand years. When the time comes, we will all leave." Another boy persuaded from the side.
Zhu Hun walked into the side hall and saw two men and a woman standing in the middle. He naturally recognized them and knew that the three of them came here in name to make up for it.
At least they could strengthen the defense here. After all, the other party's strength was not bad. If there was a problem, they could help. Naturally, he didn't refuse.
Of course, it was the woman called Pan Xuan and the man called Young Master Yu. Later, the black shadow who was in charge of the Sword Mausoleum came.
After leaving the Sword Mausoleum to them last time, although it was lost, it didn't matter because they had successfully found this place through the Sword Mausoleum. Originally, it was a product of their goodwill to the Shura clan. Even if the sword inside was taken away by Gu Zheng, it didn't matter.
When the other party fought, he took out the sword. When he saw it, he naturally knew the reason. He also knew the strength of the sword, but he didn't expect it to still be in a sealed state. He had been more careful in the beginning. One had to know that the other party didn't completely control it, so the battle might have ended earlier.
"Young Master Yu, are you helping me or him?" Pan Xuan looked at the person next to her and immediately asked.
"It's not a matter of whether I help or not. It's just that we are here to be mascots. The things here don't need our help, so why should we fight?" Young Master Yu smiled bitterly.
Although he didn't have any thoughts about Pan Xuan now, one had to know that after discovering Pan Xuan's identity by chance, there were probably only a few people in the Shura clan who were worthy of her. Of course, he wasn't one of them.
"Hehe, Young Master Feng asked us to come here and protect you. Even if you want me to leave, I won't. You know that I can't offend Young Master Feng." The black shadow laughed mischievously.
His attitude of 'what can you do to me' made her gnash her teeth in anger.
"I'm not talking to you. I'm just telling you to stop bothering me." Pan Xuan saw Zhu Hun and immediately stopped talking. Then, she walked towards Zhu Hun.
"Zhu Hun, you're back. I'm sorry about what happened last time. If I knew, I wouldn't have left in advance. By the time I got the news, it was already too late." Pan Xuan sprinkled a handful of salt on the black shadow.
"It's okay. That didn't affect me. It's just that I haven't seen you for many years and you've changed a little." Zhu Hun looked at the bracelet on Pan Xuan's wrist. There was a familiar aura on it, but he didn't know who it was. However, those Buddhist things were really annoying.
"The evil aura was a little heavy in the past. This is a calming item that a friend gave me. The effect is not bad. I still have things to do here, so I won't talk to you first." Pan Xuan said a few words and left.
Soon, Pan Xuan returned to her room. After activating the barrier, she immediately said to Zi Yi who was resting at the side.
"Gu Zheng's Spirit Child has been captured …"
After Young Master Yu and Ye Ye said a few words to Zhu Hun, Zhu Hun said goodbye.
In fact, they also knew that. Looking at the unconscious girl, they didn't say much and directly left.
Zhu Hun continued to walk inside. When he reached the innermost part, a figure covered in black skeleton was already waiting there.
"Jin Yi, I'll leave this place to you. The black stone is urgent. I'll go back first." Zhu Hun said to the other party.
"What's the matter? Why do you need to go back? Don't worry. With me leading the loyal bone army, they won't take a single step here. "Gu Yi said in a hoarse voice.
"I know. That's why I'm relieved. Don't forget to look at the jade seal over there. Don't make any mistakes. I estimate that it will be completely converted in a few decades. That's when the passage will be completely opened." Zhu Hun nodded and ordered.
"I guarantee it with my life." Gu Yi said in a low voice, his tone full of determination.
Zhu Hun took out the black stone and went straight to the middle. There was a white floor that could only allow three people to pass through. There were many mysterious runes engraved on it. It was obviously incompatible with everything around it.
As he whispered, he quickly disappeared with Xiao Ying and the man covered in Death Qi.
.....
In the periphery of an endless mountain range was a huge plain. This place was similar to the many worlds in the wilderness. There were no traces of humans here.
However, at this time, luxurious tents had been erected on the plains, and under the shadows, it could be seen that many people were temporarily stationed here.
Although there weren't many people here, if one looked carefully, they were all extremely powerful people. Just the faint fluctuations in the surroundings were enough to make people feel terrified.
In the distant sky, two black figures were flying over at an extremely fast speed. They seemed to want to come here.
However, before they could get close, two sentries hidden in the dark instantly rose from below and blocked their path.
"Who are you? If you're passing by, please go around to avoid any misunderstandings. "One of the sentries said politely to the two people in front of him.
Of course, the reason why he was being polite was that the two people who came were both Grand Heavenly Realm experts. If they weren't, it wouldn't be so easy. After all, they didn't hide anything here. It was impossible that the other party didn't know about their situation here.
"What are you doing here? Why do you need so many people? "One of the old men asked.
"You don't need to know about this. If there's nothing else, please leave. We don't welcome strangers here." The other guard said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
Although they were only Jin Xian Late-stage experts, there were even more powerful people behind them. Hence, they weren't afraid of the other party causing trouble unless the other party wanted to die.
"Gu Zheng, don't be so gloomy. We're already here. We'll be able to rescue them soon." The old man didn't answer, but said to the person beside him.
"I'm not. You don't have to tell me that we're here."
Gu Zheng said expressionlessly. However, he didn't look as gloomy as he said. At most, he seemed to be in a bad mood.
Among the auras inside, he could already sense those familiar auras. Moreover, when they arrived here, some Divine Senses had already spread out. The other party also knew of their arrival.
"What's the meaning of this? If there's anything, I can help you report. If there's nothing else, please take a detour. " Seeing the two of them chatting as if there was no one else around, the guard couldn't help but ask again. He couldn't figure out the other party's intentions.
"There's no need. We're all on the same side. You two can leave."
Just at this moment, a dignified voice came from behind them.
"Yes, Patriarch Xing!"
When the two guards turned around and saw that it was Xing Ba and the others, they immediately acknowledged and retreated.
"I really didn't expect you to come here." Xing Ba laughed at Gu Zheng. He was clearly very happy.
"Young master Gu!"
The people behind Xing Ba also greeted Gu Zheng. Clearly, they respected Gu Zheng very much, even if their cultivation was the same as Gu Zheng's.
Gu Zheng nodded and didn't say anything. Some of these people in front of him were familiar with him, and some were unfamiliar with him. However, they were all from the same tribe that left together. It seemed that they had also obtained many opportunities and broke through their current shackles.
"Patriarch Xing, Gu Zheng's mood isn't very good right now. I'm afraid he's not in the mood to chat." The old man immediately said when he saw this scene.
However, he didn't know Gu Zheng's position here. Clearly, his explanation was unnecessary. Even if Gu Zheng didn't say a word, the people here wouldn't be dissatisfied. He didn't know what was going on here.
"You're the Xie Wei that Starry Sky mentioned, right? I didn't expect Zhou Xuan to complete the mission so quickly." Xing Ba turned to the tree spirit and smiled.
"It's all thanks to Little Gu. Otherwise, how could it be so easy? However, your plan to use the teleportation array failed. The other party has already gone in." Xie Wei said from the side.
"As long as he's fine, everything can be discussed. This isn't the place to talk. Coincidentally, we're discussing some things. Let's talk about it later, "Xing Ba looked at Gu Zheng's cold face and said to them with a trace of worry in his eyes.
Gu Zheng and Xie Wei didn't object. They flew inside with them and landed in a huge tent in the middle.
When they entered, there were even more people inside. Even Gu Zheng was secretly shocked. With a glance, there were at least ten early-stage Grand Heavenly Immortals and one mid-stage Grand Heavenly Immortals. As for the strongest one, only Xing Ba was present.
"Come, Gu Zheng, sit here." Xing Ba moved to the side and let Gu Zheng sit with him. Clearly, he was showing that he valued him.
Gu Zheng didn't think too much and sat side by side with Xing Ba. However, Xie Wei was a little stunned when he saw the tree spirit. He didn't expect Gu Zheng's position to be so high.
He saw that no one present showed any dissatisfaction. This meant that they had already determined that this person with the same cultivation as them was already standing above them and could order them at any time.
Xie Wei also found an empty seat and sat down. However, he didn't know that his shock had only just begun. He didn't know that Gu Zheng was actually so important in their hearts.
"Gu Zheng, you don't know the uncomfortable days when we first left. Almost everyone's cultivation had regressed by a step. Not only that, the feeling of thousands of ants gnawing at our hearts almost made us commit suicide in despair. Those days were really unbearable."
As soon as he came up, Xing Ba didn't mention him. Instead, he talked about their past. When he talked about those days, Gu Zheng could hear a hint of fear in his voice.
"Yes, at that time, other than committing suicide, there seemed to be no other way. After all, we didn't have any black water. Even if we did, we didn't want to continue devouring it. Moreover, we found that the black water had been unknowingly devouring our cultivation, making it harder and harder for us to improve in the future." One of the people below heard Xing Ba's words and said with emotion.
"It was all thanks to some people in the sea. They seemed to be the sea monsters that escaped from the other side. However, they seemed to be Young Master Gu's friends. They happened to pass by here. After learning about everything, they went back and helped us find some special crystals. Relying on those crystals, we were able to continue."
"Fortunately, most of us made it through. Furthermore, we completely repelled the discomfort of the black water. Many of our cultivations were like flying. Almost all of us came here after a few thousand years. It can be considered a blessing in disguise. However, some of us still died from the pain. This time, after we found out about their nest, we decided to avenge our people."
Another person clenched his fist and said fiercely. Looking at the other person's expression, it seemed that some of his close relatives had also died in that catastrophe.
Hearing this, Gu Zheng's face also showed a sorrowful expression. This was because Xing Ba secretly told him that at least one-tenth of the people didn't make it through. Unfortunately, they didn't have any other way. If it weren't for the crystals that could greatly alleviate the pain, at least half of them wouldn't have made it through.
Even many elders died, including Xing Tian's parents. Even if their cultivation was at the peak of Jin Xian, they still couldn't make it through.
Not long after that incident, Xing Tian appeared in the tribe. After learning about everything, he was determined to find the other party's nest. Now, the other party's whereabouts were unknown.
Outside, most of their forces were gathered. Every one of them was above the middle stage of Jin Xian. Some of them were also new friends that Xing Ba made. They came together to help them.
"Now, the only regret is that after being here for so many days, we still can't find the other party's entrance in this vast mountain range. We know that the other party is hiding here, but we can't do anything to them. It's a pity that Xing Tian didn't have any news after that. I'm afraid that something bad has happened to him." Xing Ba said regretfully.
At the same time, the people below were also indignant and helpless.
"This time, we have decided that we can't continue to block here. Prepare to bombard the mountains one by one. Even if it takes a long time, we have to find the other party's nest." Xing Ba said to Gu Zheng.
This was also what they were discussing this time. Otherwise, if there was no progress at all, it would be even more worrying.
"I'll go too. No matter how long it takes, we have to find the other party's nest." After Gu Zheng heard this, he stood up and said firmly.
"Young Master Gu, this time it's fine for us to do it. You should rest well. This is hard work, you can't do it."
As soon as Gu Zheng's voice fell, the people below immediately said. Then, they all agreed.
Xie Wei was speechless because he could tell that these people really wanted to do the hard work themselves and let Gu Zheng rest.
When the voices quieted down, Xie Wei stood up and immediately attracted everyone's attention. After looking around, he said in a slightly louder voice.
"Everyone should know my identity. I was suppressed by the other party for so long and have been used as a middle passage. It's all thanks to Gu Zheng's help. Otherwise, I would have been dead for sure. However, after so many years, it's not like I didn't gain anything. At least I know where they are, which can greatly help everyone narrow down the scope."
Halfway through his words, everyone looked at him in unison.
"That's great, thank you so much. This way, the time and energy we need to spend will be greatly reduced." Xing Ba was a little excited when he heard this.
"As long as you bring us there, we'll agree to any request you have."
"You sent people to help me. In addition, I have a grudge with the other party. This is nothing. After all, I also want to take revenge. I only have one request." Xie Wei looked at Xing Ba and said with the same determination.
"What request? As long as it's not too much, anything is fine," Xing Ba said after hearing this.
"Although I haven't fully recovered from my injuries, please give me the position of the vanguard. You can't let me stay at the back." Xie Wei said his request unhurriedly.
"Okay, I promise you!"
Xing Ba looked at Xie Wei and immediately agreed. At the same time, he said to the others.
"Inform everyone to set off immediately."
