"I didn't even notice that you had set up an ambush there. Otherwise, they would have escaped."
Gu Zheng had just arrived when Song Shan immediately praised him. The array spirit beside him nodded as well. He did not notice it either.
If it wasn't for Gu Zheng's quick-wittedness, the Demonic Insect would have been a huge problem in the final battle if it had escaped. But now, the truly powerful subordinates of the Chaos Beasts were all dead. It could be said that seizing the core of the formation was in the bag and it shouldn't be that difficult anymore.
"It was a coincidence. These demon souls are cunning. There is nothing wrong with holding back." Gu Zheng smiled. There was nothing to be proud of.
"As expected of a talented young man. The future belongs to you." Goddess Yu Fei, who was beside him, came over and said to Gu Zheng with a smile.
"Goddess Yu Fei, I am not sure if it will be our era. The only thing I am sure of is that it will belong to us humans." Gu Zheng's eyes were shining as he said firmly.
His confident tone stunned them. It was as if Gu Zheng could see the future.
"That's right. My husband once said that it will definitely belong to us humans. Otherwise, why would we sacrifice ourselves?" Goddess Yu Fei said with a smile.
"Haha, that is true. There is no doubt about that. I have always believed that even after thousands of years, it will come sooner or later." Song Shan said firmly.
"Goddess, Goddess!"
Suddenly, Goddess Yu Fei, who was fine the previous lesson, fell backward. The maidservant beside her immediately helped her up and shouted anxiously.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng saw her spirit dispersing. It felt like she could collapse at any moment.
"Goddess forced herself out of her resting place. In addition, she has been running around all this time. Her body has not recovered. However, we do not know where the medicine boy went. Perhaps he was killed by the enemy. But Goddess, without the medicine boy's support, she cannot hold on any longer. Once her spirit disperses, Goddess will die." The maidservant choked.
"I'm coming. I'm coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, a green light flew towards him from afar at an extremely fast speed.
Gu Zheng knew it was Ling Tong at first glance. He was wondering why he did not see Ling Tong earlier, but it seemed like Ling Tong had gone into hiding.
However, when he thought of the other party's strength, it seemed that there was no other way if he didn't hide.
"Out of the way, out of the way." When the medicine boy arrived, he immediately jumped down from the gourd. After glancing at Lady Yu Fei, he turned around and opened the mouth of the gourd. At the same time, his expression was solemn. He used his small hand to draw out a green stream of air mixed with gray gas and directed it towards Lady Yu Fei.
That stream of air felt very strange, but after Goddess Yu Fei came into contact with it, she quickly fused with it, stabilizing her crumbling body and continuing to solidify.
"The Empress has consumed too much energy. It will take some time for the Empress to wake up."
Under its control, the gourd automatically floated towards her body. Specks of green light continuously floated down from above, continuing to treat Goddess Yu Fei.
"Where have you been?" Brush, who had remained silent at the back, said unhappily to the medicine boy.
"After I came here to leave you the message, I went into hiding. Later on, when you came, there was a huge battle. I couldn't get out. I even fainted after the last shocking attack. I just woke up." The medicine boy lowered his head and explained.
At this moment, everyone realized that his small body was also covered in blood.
Thinking of his strength, he was indeed not a match for the demons if he came out early. There would not be a good opportunity later on. They had wronged him.
"Alright, alright. Don't be sad. I've wronged you." Brush hurriedly said when he felt the medicine boy's low spirits.
"Let's move Lady Yu Fei back to the palace first." The maidservant suggested. Although there was not much difference outside, she had a bad feeling.
The group carefully brought her back to a room in the palace, leaving behind the maidservant and the medicine boy who had to keep watch at all times. Everyone went outside again.
"Now that Her Highness has been rescued, shouldn't we take back the Formation Core and drive those demons out?" Brush suggested from the side.
"That's for sure. But are those Spirit Guards ready?" Formation Spirit nodded, then turned to look at Gu Zheng.
"Let me see!"
Gu Zheng looked at the Jade Dragon Space again and found that most of the Spirit Guards were almost clean. Only a few were still on their bodies. However, he also found that the seawater in the air was obviously thinner by a layer.
"They're almost done, but they still need some time." Gu Zheng glanced at the Spirit Bead on the hilt of the sword without batting an eyelid. The color of the bead was obviously much dimmer than before.
"Well, I still need to activate some formations outside. It just so happens that I also need some time. You guys should take the opportunity to recover. I'm sure that the demons are waiting for us at the array core. A fierce battle is inevitable, but we'll definitely win." Formation Spirit said with a serious expression.
"Okay, we'll wait for you here." Gu Zheng nodded and said.
Formation Spirit turned around and left with all the Spirit Guards. Song Shan, Gu Zheng, and the others also took elixirs and began to adjust their state.
Compared to Gu Zheng's minor injuries, Song Shan did not seem to have any serious injuries on the surface. In fact, his internal injuries were more serious. Otherwise, he would not have been so weak just now.
Time passed little by little. During this time, a maid came in with two cups of tea. Seeing that they were cultivating here, she simply put it on the table next to them and went back.
When there was movement outside, Gu Zheng and Song Shan opened their eyes almost at the same time.
Because Formation Spirit outside had returned.
"How are you guys? I'm done with all the preparations. "Formation Spirit said to the two as soon as it came in.
"I'm almost done. It won't affect any of my fighting strength." Gu Zheng said.
After this period of time, they had basically recovered. Although they were not at their peak, they were almost there.
"I think there's still something wrong. I estimate that we only have half of our fighting strength. We can only deal with small fries." Song Shan said with a wry smile.
"It's okay. This time, it's fine as long as one of you is involved. Although it's fine without one, there might be an accident." Formation Spirit was not worried at all and said to them confidently.
"Queen Yu Fei hasn't woken up yet. Should we leave some Spirit Guards to protect her?" Song Shan's expression improved after hearing that, but he still said it.
"You don't have to worry about that. Leave this to me. If it's not someone very strong, they definitely won't be able to enter this palace."
Before the formation spirit could speak, the brush beside it suddenly spoke.
"Can you do it? Don't let any accidents happen. "Gu Zheng said with some doubt.
"Don't worry. There's my king's aura here. I can use some of it. Even against you, it will take some time to break through. It's enough to last until you come." Brush said confidently.
"I believe that. Besides, if we attack the other party, they won't come here because they don't have enough people." Song Shan nodded in agreement. He did not doubt the brush at all. It seemed that the other party could really trap Gu Zheng for some time.
"Alright. If that's the case, if there's no problem on your side, we'll set off now." Formation Spirit looked at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng smiled and walked out of the main hall. In fact, when he woke up, he had already checked. All the Spirit Guards had returned to normal.
With a wave of Gu Zheng's hand, all the Spirit Guards appeared in the open space. They were not much different from the Spirit Guards not far away.
"Good. With the addition of the elite Spirit Guards and the rest of you, our strength is three times stronger than I expected. If nothing goes wrong, there won't be any problems." Formation Spirit looked at the Spirit Guards in front of him and smiled confidently.
This lineup was much better than what he had expected. One had to know that he did not have a single elite Spirit Guard under him. It turned out that they were all with Queen Yu Fei. If he had known that he was going to come, he would not have been in such a sorry state.
Formation Spirit simply added the Spirit Guards to his troops. Then, he led Gu Zheng and the rest to the eye of the formation.
.....
At this moment, outside the mountain peak, powerful attacks were constantly falling from the outside. The places where the barrier was attacked were constantly rippling and spreading to the surroundings.
However, the people inside were not nervous at all. They were just not sitting like before. All of them were standing in different places. Once there was any movement, they would be able to react in time.
"Lord Jin, this is what the Chaos Demon gave me. He said that you'll know once you bring it over." Young Master Yu handed over the black crystal ball in his hand and said.
Jin Yi nodded. Then, he placed the crystal ball on his forehead and closed his eyes at the same time.
After a long while, Jin Yi raised his eyes. His eyes flashed with determination. Then, he looked at Young Master Yu beside him.
"Where are the two of them?"
"They're quarreling inside again. I can't do anything about it." Young Master Yu spread his hands and smiled bitterly.
"It's okay. Go back and tell them to guard that temporary room well. Moreover, there might be a big battle later. Don't get involved. Just guard that room well. This is the restriction that controls that room. If we can't stop them, we'll just destroy that room. If we can stop them, then wait for us."
Jin Yi handed over a black crystal the size of a thumb. Then, he repeated his words. That room was so important that they had to guard it even if they didn't participate in the battle.
"Lord Jin, is it that serious again?" Young Master Yu didn't expect that they would fail again.
"The situation below is a little complicated. This time, we have to stake everything. Otherwise, we'll lose this place sooner or later." Jin Yi didn't explain too much.
"Alright then. We'll guard that place well. If you need anything, please let us know." Young Master Yu hesitated for a moment.
After that, he glanced outside through the gaps in the attacks outside. Then, he retreated.
Very quickly, he arrived at the bottom of the ground. However, he didn't return to the room directly. Instead, he turned halfway and walked towards another place.
Not far ahead, in a relatively empty cave, two figures were still arguing fiercely. However, arguing was just arguing. Even though it looked like they were about to fight, in reality, neither side showed any signs of fighting.
On the wall not far from them, a white door that was three feet wide appeared on the wall. Through the hazy light, one could vaguely see the scene behind it.
"Alright, alright. Jin Yi has given us a new mission. Stop arguing. If there's any problem, we can talk about it when we get back." Young Master Yu felt a headache coming on. He quickly walked over and said.
"This is the last warning. No matter what happens inside, you can't go in. Don't forget our mission. You have to listen to me. This is my right. Otherwise, I'll report it to the ancestor. Even if Young Master Feng protects you, you won't be able to get away with it." Pan Xuan said one last time. Then, she stopped arguing with the black figure and walked towards Young Master Yu.
"You … You … Hmph!" The black figure pointed at Pan Xuan. His expression was uncertain. However, in the end, he snorted coldly. He glanced at the passage inside and followed behind Pan Xuan.
Even if he could sense that the enemy was inside, he couldn't go in and cause trouble for the other party. After all, the other party was the commander on his side.
However, thinking that there might be danger inside, he didn't force his way in.
"Brother Yu, it's been hard on you." Pan Xuan said politely to Young Master Yu.
Putting aside the things that happened later, Young Master Yu had helped her a lot. Pan Xuan had always respected him.
Seeing the black figure walk over, Young Master Yu repeated what Jin Yi had told them.
"He wants us to stay our hands over there? It seems like he's still on guard against us. How dare he treat us like this at such a crucial time. Did you record it? "Pan Xuan asked after listening to the black figure.
Even the black figure had an angry expression on his face. The other party didn't use their combat power and only wanted him to protect a place. Such a method of estrangement made him unhappy.
"I've already recorded it. No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with us." Young Master Yu nodded, indicating that he was already prepared.
"Since it's the other party's order, we'll just listen to the other party's order. It seems like our cooperation has been broken. What a pity." Pan Xuan said that it was a pity, but she didn't feel it was a pity at all.
In fact, only a portion of the clan agreed. After all, they didn't like these demons. Otherwise, why would there be so few of them in the Sword Mausoleum? When Pan Xuan left, she took almost all of them with her.
The three of them went straight to the room inside and quietly watched the situation develop.
After Young Master Yu left, the people who had been observing inside reported to Xing Ba. They didn't transmit their voices, so Xing Ba could hear their conversation.
"Haha, so that's how it is. Tell everyone that the barrier in front of us is about to be broken. Tell everyone to lower their frequency and wait for the final battle. There are still some people left. Hide yourselves well and lead them in." Starlord thought for a moment and understood something. He excitedly gave the order.
"Yes!"
.....
In the underground space where Gu Zheng was, they followed the Array Spirit through two halls and finally arrived at the place where the Array Eye was.
There were no obstructions along the way, and they didn't hide anything. Because both sides knew that this was a place that they had to seize. Everything else was meaningless, so they might as well do it here.
By the time they arrived, the Demonic Spirits that had gathered here all looked over and glared at them.
Gu Zheng and the rest also stopped at the entrance and looked at the demons that had been waiting for a long time. At the same time, they looked around.
This place was very vast. It could be said that it was the largest place here. Looking at it, they couldn't see the edge. It was almost the size of a small town.
The surrounding was empty. It was all ordinary land. Most of it had different levels of battle marks. From the marks, it could be seen that there was more than one battle here.
Of course, the most important thing here was that it was the Array Eye in the middle.
The Array Eye wasn't a single thing. It was a combination of different discs. Those green stone discs were all embedded in the ground. There were different patterns and complicated runes carved on them. Moreover, they were very strong. At present, no one could destroy them.
However, other than a few stone discs that were emitting a dim light, the rest weren't activated.
In the middle, there was a high platform. A Qilin statue that Gu Zheng had seen before stood on it. A layer of black mist surrounded it, as if it was stepping on a sea of clouds. It was a heroic figure.
This was the final Black Tortoise Sun Formation. It was also one of the cores of the Array Eye. As long as it could be successfully activated, it would mean that the circulation function of the Array Eye had been activated. It was much more important than the Black Tortoise Yin Formation. That place was in charge of the external Array Eye. Goddess Yu Fei's external Array Eye relied on the Black Tortoise Yin Formation.
However, in terms of importance, even if it was lost, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.
Above the Black Tortoise Sun Formation, there was a figure that Gu Zheng was familiar with. It was a Heroic Spirit.
Turning his head slightly, there was another high platform. On it, there was a huge white Array Disc floating in mid-air. It looked no different from the stone discs below. However, the inscriptions carved on it were completely different. Just by looking at it, one could feel an inexplicable aura rushing towards them. It was as if they wanted to dive in and study the mysteries within.
This was the true core Array Disc. It could also be said to be the Array Eye. It complemented the Black Tortoise Yin Yang Formation and was also the Array Spirit's initial resting place.
Beside him, there was also a Heroic Spirit Guard. The powerful aura on his body was so strong that it was impossible to ignore him.
Not only that, there were more than ten Demon Spirits of different cultivation levels below. The only good news was that there wasn't an enemy above the Grand Heavenly Realm.
At the front, there were more than ten Spiritual Guards with average cultivation levels. They were looking at them as if they were facing a great enemy.
It seemed that they had been waiting for them here for a long time.
However, what puzzled Gu Zheng was that he didn't see any Chaos Demons.
"Hehe, I thought you guys had arrived earlier. I didn't expect you guys to only arrive now."
Just as Gu Zheng had this thought, a yellow sandstorm-like fog appeared in the air between the two high platforms and laughed at them.
"Chaos Demons, no matter how many tricks you have up your sleeves, you'd better leave obediently this time. Otherwise, you won't be able to keep your life." The Array Spirit shouted at the front.
"Haha, you've thought it through. Although you guys killed my right-hand men, your Heroic Spirits are now in my hands. How can you guys defeat me? This time, I'll let all of you die here." The Chaos Demons' figure kept swaying. He didn't take the Array Spirit's words to heart at all.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a rumbling sound around them. Gu Zheng and the rest stopped in their tracks and looked around.
Only then did they realize that the passage behind them had disappeared.
Perhaps it wasn't just this. Perhaps all the ways to leave this place had disappeared. In other words, all of them were trapped here. This was a good plan by the other party.
