"Who is it?"
Gu Zheng immediately became alert. At the same time, he looked around, but he didn't find anything. However, the voice came from the passage, perhaps from the other end.
"Don't worry, successor. Now you have to bear the pressure of your mission. Now that the tomb is in a mess, the other party is gradually encroaching on us. I'm afraid that the other party will succeed. Now that you're here, you can finally bring the thing out."
The voice continued. Although it didn't seem to have any hostility, Gu Zheng was still vigilant because he didn't believe the other party. However, he still said.
"I don't know you, and I'm not a successor. Don't get it wrong."
"How is that possible? You're holding my king's Cloud Desolate Sword, and it has already recognized you as its master. I can't be wrong. Didn't you come here to take away my king's relic? We've been waiting for this day for a long time. "The voice was clearly excited.
"I'm sorry, I got this sword by coincidence, and it's all thanks to Song Shan's help. I didn't get any guidance. This time, I'm here to find the invading demons and drive them out."
Gu Zheng was silent for a moment. After which, he spoke after some deliberation.
"It's the will of the heavens that you're here. General Song has already snuck in here a few days ago, but I don't know where he is. Those demons have occupied another resting area, and there are many of them. You need the help of the Spiritual Guards here. Otherwise, you won't be able to break through their blockade." The voice was a little excited. Regardless of whether the other party was here for the treasure or not, they had a common goal.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. The place you're at is the most side of the tomb. If you want to leave, you'll definitely face the demons. They've already occupied most of the area, and are preparing to forcefully take away my king's relic. They've also activated the array we left behind, forming a defense to prevent outsiders from coming in."
The voice continued, as if he had no choice but to accept.
"And since you're holding my king's sword, no one will suspect you. You can borrow the power of the Spiritual Guards. You know how difficult it is to deal with those demons. Only my king's elite Spiritual Guards can suppress them. You should know that these Spiritual Guards are a part of the sword, and you can continue to strengthen the power of your weapon."
"Why are you saying so much? Just who are you? Just what do you want?" Gu Zheng said with a sneer.
Although what the other party said seemed to make some sense, why should he listen to the other party when he didn't even know his identity?
"Who here doesn't know who I am? I'm a pen in my king's hand. I've written countless orders, behead treacherous officials, behead those who collude with the enemy. Everything is written through me. And my request is very simple. I want to leave this place. I'm about to go crazy in this place. There's not a single living person here. I'm going crazy accompanying this white horse every day."
That voice rambled on and on. It was as if he would repeat a few sentences for every sentence that Gu Zheng said.
"Humph! I'm not going to agree to your request now. However, how do we get out of here?" Gu Zheng continued speaking into the passageway, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"If you subdue this white horse, I'll naturally help you open the door outside. My mission is to take good care of this white horse. Unfortunately, it was bewitched by the other party and can't come back. This is my king's spiritual horse. It's such a pity." The voice was a little disappointed, but he still said a lot of things.
"Alright then. I can only promise that I'll try my best to trap the other party."
It seemed that no matter what, he had to leave this place first. He had to deal with this white horse first. As for the conditions, if it was really so, he had to give it a try.
Moreover, Gu Zheng could also be sure that this place was also built by the other party. However, who was the person buried here? Could it be the king they were talking about? Or was it someone else? He didn't know.
However, from the information just now, he understood that the location of the formation outside was also here. As long as he destroyed or snatched it back, Star Tyrant could attack the other party from the front and greatly reduce the pressure on his side.
After all, the other party could send some people down at any time. At that time, he would be caught like a turtle in a jar. He probably wouldn't have the chance to run even if he wanted to.
The best way was to pretend to be someone here so that the other party wouldn't be able to detect his identity for a while. The other party definitely wouldn't think that he could enter this place.
Gu Zheng walked in the passage and quickly filtered the information he received. At the same time, he had some thoughts in his mind. If everything went well, then he would be able to rush into this place soon.
When he reached the end of the passage, the white horse was still crazily charging around. It looked like it was facing an inexplicable enemy.
"Originally, this place would definitely not be disturbed by the other party. However, after the other party sent a few special demon souls, the three you just killed, the outside door couldn't stop them at all. After the white horse killed a few of them, it was tainted by the other party. Now, it has even penetrated deep into its mind and can no longer recover."
When Gu Zheng stood at the entrance of the passage, the voice sounded again.
"Why don't you subdue the other party yourself? Or is it that you're not strong enough?" Gu Zheng casually said as he sensed the situation inside.
"I'm my king's pen. How can I personally participate in the battle?" The voice said with a bit of sophistry. It also let Gu Zheng know that the other party's strength might be really low.
"Go in directly. This defense can prevent you from going out, but it won't stop you from going in. You have to be careful. This spirit knight isn't simple. It won't show you any mercy." The voice said again.
Gu Zheng took a deep breath and directly walked in. Even without it saying anything, he naturally knew how powerful this white horse was.
As soon as he entered, the originally manic white horse immediately stopped and turned around to look at Gu Zheng. He could feel the manic aura coming from the white horse, as if it wanted to tear him apart.
After pausing for a moment, the white horse's body emitted a white light. Then, it turned into a white light in the air and charged directly at Gu Zheng.
"Bang!"
The other party's speed seemed to be several times faster than before. If Gu Zheng wasn't completely vigilant and didn't underestimate the other party, he would have been hit by the other party. Even now, he almost couldn't avoid it.
In the distance, a bigger hole appeared in the wall. Even half of the spirit knight's head was embedded in the wall. It could be seen how strong the other party was. If this hit him, even he would be seriously injured.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other party pulled out its head and hadn't turned around, a golden light flew out from Gu Zheng's hand. It turned in the air and formed a huge golden rope, which directly pounced on the other party.
In the air, it swayed and a few ropes separated from the other party. They quickly tied up the other party's limbs and torso, causing the spirit knight who had just turned around to fall to the ground.
"It's done. You can open the door for me first."
Gu Zheng looked at the white horse that was desperately struggling on the ground. Unfortunately, under the golden light, the ropes were tightly binding it. It could only jump back and forth on the ground. It couldn't break free at all. Therefore, Gu Zheng said to the surrounding people.
"Be careful behind you."
Just when Gu Zheng turned around and looked around, there was an obvious exclamation in the air. It even felt like the other party's voice was going to break.
However, before it could finish its sentence, a strong gust of wind came from behind Gu Zheng. He had time to set up a layer of defense on his body. Then, like a bird that had lost control, he flew into the distance and crashed heavily into the wall.
"Hiss!"
Gu Zheng felt that his bones were almost broken by the other party this time. Now, he felt like his bones were falling apart. He took a deep breath and could feel that he was trembling from head to toe. He endured the immense pain and looked at the white horse that stopped at his previous position. It snorted happily as if it was mocking Gu Zheng.
"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
Gu Zheng said ruthlessly. Then, he clapped his hands. Five rays of light suddenly flew out from his wrist. Five jade ring phantoms flew towards the other party under Gu Zheng's command and became bigger in the air.
"Huhu!"
When the white horse saw this, it suddenly spat out a white light from its mouth, forming a wall of fire in front of it. It wanted to block the other party.
Unfortunately, even if it was just a phantom, even if the jade ring was strengthened a lot, it still couldn't block the other jade rings.
In the next moment, the jade ring phantoms broke through the wall of fire and directly accelerated. They buckled between the four limbs and the neck. With another flash of light, the originally aggressive white horse seemed to have lost all its strength and directly lay on the ground. This time, it didn't even have the strength to struggle. Only the black light in front of its eyes kept flickering, indicating the other party's unwillingness.
"It's absolutely impossible for the other party to break free this time. Hurry up and give me a way to leave here." Gu Zheng shouted to the surroundings.
Now, the pain in his body was almost healed after circulating his magic power for a few weeks. This horse was really fierce.
"Whoosh!"
A writing brush that was twice the size of an ordinary one suddenly flew from an unknown place and stopped in midair. One could only see a golden light shining on top of it. A trace of majestic aura faintly came from it.
"I am the key to leave here. As long as you open that door, you can leave here." The writing brush trembled slightly, and a voice came from inside.
Looking at this writing brush that was full of spirituality, Gu Zheng took a few more glances. After all, the other party should be the weapon spirit. However, this writing brush didn't seem to have much power. Instead, the pressure on it made Gu Zheng feel a trace of pressure.
"Then what about it? I can't keep it trapped forever. Should I kill it? "Gu Zheng took out his weapon and pointed at the white horse, but said bluntly.
Seeing it, Gu Zheng thought of the collision. He could vaguely feel the bones groaning again.
"When I leave, I will close the door. It will be sealed here forever." When the writing brush heard Gu Zheng's words, it pointed the tip of the brush at the white horse. It seemed to be reminiscing about something. After a while, it said.
"It doesn't matter. Let's go now." Gu Zheng turned his head and walked towards the passage.
Seeing this, the writing brush also moved its body and followed Gu Zheng, preparing to leave this place together. Although its mission was to guard this place, the situation was different. It wouldn't stick to the rules.
"Rip!"
Suddenly, a high-pitched neigh came from behind, as if it was asking for something. It was completely different from the violent sound from before.
Gu Zheng stopped and curiously turned around to look. He found that the white horse that was tied up on the ground was emitting a hazy light and actually stood up.
"How did it wake up from its slumber?" The writing brush looked at the white horse's eyes that had returned to normal and said with some surprise.
At this time, the sword in Gu Zheng's hand also flashed with a golden light and trembled slightly. He didn't control the Cloud Desolate Sword, which made Gu Zheng couldn't help but let go of his hand.
Under his astonished gaze, the Cloud Desolate Sword's golden light automatically floated towards the white horse and stopped in front of it.
The white horse neighed and gently leaned its head upwards, as if it wanted to act coquettishly. It didn't have the ruthlessness from before and there wasn't even a trace of black light in its eyes.
The sword puppet that had been hanging down behind the Cloud Desolate Sword suddenly lit up with a white light and enveloped the white horse in front of it. The white horse closed its eyes, as if it was enjoying something, and stood motionless in its original position.
Under the white light, the white horse's body gradually began to fade until a white dot appeared in the middle and was slowly sucked in.
At the same time, the two spiritual pearls behind the sword hilt suddenly lit up without Gu Zheng's control. Two rays of light came out from the pearls and also entered the sword puppet, causing the white horse's body to be covered by two rays of light.
After all of this was done, the Cloud Desolate Sword once again flew back and stopped in front of Gu Zheng.
"What is going on? That white horse clearly can't recover. "The writing brush in the air said with an incredulous tone.
"If you don't know, how am I supposed to know?" Gu Zheng took back the Cloud Desolate Sword, and when he heard what the writing brush said, it seemed to be asking him a question.
After he finished speaking, he began to inspect the Cloud Desolate Sword to see how it changed. After a while, Gu Zheng's expression became strange and he stopped the inspection.
There were no other changes to the Cloud Desolate Sword, but in his perception, there was actually a huge space inside the originally ordinary Jade Chakram. The sky was blue, and the ground was like a green grassland. The white horse that had disappeared earlier was already lying inside.
A special aura filled the air and was currently flowing into the white horse's body. Wisps of black gas were emitted from the white horse's body, as if it was expelling the black gas from its body.
However, at this moment, the power of the two spiritual pearls could no longer be used. They should be together with the jade puppet and had a strange reaction.
"Did my king's sword absorb the white horse?" When Gu Zheng came back to his senses, the writing brush next to him carefully asked.
"Yes, there is a space, and it seems to be healing it." Gu Zheng said directly. That space seemed to be somewhat special.
"That's great, it seems that the white horse can still be saved. It made me sad for it for so long. That space is the place where you install the Spirit Guards. Those are the aura of the Spirit of Heroes collected by my king, and they can greatly increase their power. However, your strength is a little weak. If you were a little stronger, the moves of the Cloud Desolate Sword would be enough to destroy the heaven and earth." The writing brush breathed a sigh of relief and said a bunch of words.
"Don't ask, let's leave this place now. I need to turn off the shield outside. Since you are here, you must be familiar with the terrain. Bring me to the formation below, and my friends can launch a new attack from outside."
Gu Zheng did not ask the writing brush. Even if the writing brush's information made him very interested, he knew that now was not the time to talk about it.
Previously, the writing brush had already retracted the defense. That was only the restriction here, and not its own power.
Soon, they arrived in front of the door that was blocking them. The writing brush unceremoniously stabbed itself into the door, and the door in front of them silently disappeared.
So it was to open this place. Speaking of which, that round hole was really similar. He did not think of it before it opened.
After opening the door, a hall appeared in front of him. This time, on the surrounding walls, there were some burning torches, lighting up the surroundings. Some of the surrounding passages were also not as dark as before. Every once in a while, a faint yellow light could be seen shining.
"Which path should we take?" Gu Zheng looked at the three passages in front of him and said to the writing brush floating in the air.
"Take the left one." The writing brush said straightforwardly.
Gu Zheng immediately ran towards the left passage. After a while, his figure appeared here again.
"That is a dead end. Did you remember wrongly?" Gu Zheng's face was a little ugly as he said to the writing brush.
"Maybe I remembered wrongly. I stayed in there for too long. It should be the middle. I am sure." The writing brush swayed left and right in the air, and then said again.
"Are you sure?"
"I am sure!"
Gu Zheng walked forward again, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, when he reached the end, it was a very ordinary room. It seemed to be a temporary resting place a long time ago. Other than a few beds, there was nothing else.
"A mistake, a mistake. It should be the other one." The writing brush's tone was full of embarrassment as it tried to explain.
Gu Zheng took a deep breath, resisting the idea of teaching the writing brush a lesson, and said word by word, "Tell me the truth. Do you know or not? I don't want to waste time."
"Okay, I really don't know. But I know that there is only one correct path in this place. There will not be any forks in the road. There is a main path, and the other paths lead to different places." The writing brush trembled in the air, and then said honestly.
"I hope this information is correct. Otherwise, you will have to suffer." Gu Zheng glanced at the writing brush and said.
The writing brush did not say anything, but its body swayed in the air. It was obviously a little scared.
It had to know that it only had some magical powers. It could bully ordinary people, but when facing people with some cultivation, it would not be able to do anything to them.
Returning to the original place, Gu Zheng walked towards the last path. This time, as soon as he entered, he knew that he had gone to the right place. The two paths that he had entered had reached the end not long after he entered, and this path was even turning.
Soon, a new hall appeared in front of Gu Zheng, and he could not help but slow down.
This place greatly restricted his spiritual sense, and he could not probe far. He did not know what was going on in front of him.
In the exit passage, Gu Zheng stopped and looked inside. After confirming that there was no danger, he walked out of the passage and came to this incomparably huge hall.
"Why is the array spirit here?"
Before Gu Zheng could look around carefully, the writing brush's surprised voice came to his ears.
Following its gaze, on a table in the middle, there was a small brocade box on it. He could not see what it was.
