"Good, good, good. You're really confident. You even dared to send him there secretly. I didn't even notice it."
The grey shadow was silent for a moment before speaking to Gu Zheng.
"Same to you. Can I leave now?" Gu Zheng said, but his body was still ready to fight.
"Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. Since you've sent him there, I won't force you to stay." The grey shadow slowly dissipated in the air. It seemed that he didn't want to continue to trouble Gu Zheng.
"Then I'll leave. Thank you for your generosity." Gu Zheng signaled Kitten with his eyes and was ready to go out again.
The latter once again grabbed a cat's paw and imprinted it on the wall. This time, it was successfully imprinted on the wall.
"Can I take Starry Sky's belongings with me as well?"
Gu Zheng was about to leave when he suddenly saw the gourd on the high platform and immediately asked in a loud voice.
"In your dreams. If you want it, you can take it with your own ability." The figure snorted coldly. Then the gourd on the high platform disappeared from the ground in a flash.
Gu Zheng felt that it was a pity. Although he had the opportunity to take it, he angered the other party. Even if he was trapped here, he couldn't afford to waste time. So he asked.
Seeing that the other party didn't agree, he could only leave. After all, it was enough that Starry Sky was fine. At least he was lucky enough to meet a demon soul that didn't seem so bad.
As Gu Zheng left, the grey shadow slowly appeared in the air. Looking at Gu Zheng's departure, he muttered to himself.
"I was still wondering how to get rid of this task and someone came. Not bad. Let's leave this place before the passage closes."
After saying that, the grey shadow's figure disappeared again.
Gu Zheng came out and saw Starry Sky's figure lying on the ground. The surroundings were still empty and no demon soul took the opportunity to come over. He was also relieved.
Immediately, he continued to chase forward with Starry Sky. With such a small delay, the surrounding vibrations had already gone far away.
Along the way, they were unobstructed. Other than the occasional blood stains, there were only slight traces left behind by the battle. It seemed that the other party didn't put up much resistance.
As he followed the main road, he quickly sensed a special fluctuation in front of him. His expression changed slightly. It was the Imperial Jade Seal's aura. There was no doubt about it. At the same time, he sensed a large group of people gathering in that direction. He immediately sped up and flew over.
It did not take long for Gu Zheng to arrive. Glancing around, he saw that Xie Wei and the other three elders were all there. Even his companions who were chasing after the little Yao were there.
In front of them was a huge cave, and there was a path down there that led to an unknown destination. However, they didn't have the time to explore it because the other party had gathered all their forces here. More importantly, there was a huge black magic array in the middle of the cave.
In the middle of the black magic formation, the Chaos Beasts were holding the jade seal. Strands of yellow mist were being extracted from the jade seal and poured into the black magic formation below.
The entire array was emitting black fog. A chilling and dark aura was emitted from it. It seemed to be connected to an extremely evil place.
What was even more worrying was that the black array emitted an aura of spatial distortion. It was obvious that the array itself was used to break through the shackles of space.
"Gu Zheng, you're finally here. I heard that you came. Why were you so slow? What's on your back? "
Gu Zheng came to the front. Xie Wei leaned on him and asked.
"I went to save Starry Sky. He's safe and sound. He's just exhausted. Friends, can you help me take care of him?" Gu Zheng put Starry Sky down and said to the people beside him.
"I'll do it!"
Someone volunteered and rushed forward. He carefully carried Starry Sky back. This person was also from the Star Tyrant Clan. To Starry Sky, he was also his friend.
"It's a blessing in disguise. We tried to find him before, but we didn't find him. After we found this place, we all gathered together. We've already sent someone outside to inform the leader of the Star Tyrant Clan. We'll send more people here." An elder said happily.
"Why didn't you go in and destroy him?" Gu Zheng looked in front of him and asked curiously.
At this moment, all of them were outside the cave. There were 50 powerful Demon Souls inside. None of them were inferior to them.
Other than the Chaos Demon in the air, there were two Demon Souls below who were about as powerful as them. They looked like subordinates of the one outside. They had the same aura.
The other party was obviously no match for them. Why would they need help?
"Young Master Gu, it's like this. The other party's strength seems to be slightly weaker, but this place isn't in the cave. Once you step in, you'll find that you've come to the outside world. In fact, this is a profound array. It can greatly increase the strength of the other party. In order to reduce losses, they retreated first and discussed it here. Coincidentally, you're here." Another elder explained.
Gu Zheng took a closer look and found that it was true. He also saw the traces of battle on Xie Wei and the others. It was obvious that they had entered once.
"Gu Zheng, don't you think this array looks familiar?" At this moment, Calligraphy Brush suddenly said.
"Familiar? I don't see it. "Gu Zheng looked around but didn't find anything.
"This is obviously the array spirit's specialty. The other party actually learned a few layers of it. It's just that they replaced the array spirit with the black array in the center." Calligraphy Brush pointed at the black array and said.
"I see. Then it's easy." After Calligraphy Brush's reminder, Gu Zheng realized that it was very similar. Although the medium was different, the principle was roughly the same. However, the other party didn't learn the essence. However, even if they only learned a little, it was enough to increase their strength. After all, the main source of this array was the imperial jade seal.
Gu Zheng didn't know how strong the imperial jade seal was. However, if it could make the Chaos Demon give up everything to fight for it, it must be very precious. The special energy it contained was probably unimaginable.
"What should we do? Gu Zheng, if you have any ideas, just say it. The other party seems to be anxious for the reinforcements below. If they really gain a foothold, not only will we fail, but these evil spirits will also rush into the Eldritch World and bring about a lot of disasters. "Xie Wei said anxiously.
"Their increased strength comes from the spirits below. As long as we kill their subordinates, their strength won't increase anymore." Gu Zheng said confidently.
"No problem. Let's deal with the two spirits. Gu Zheng, you try to kill the spirits below as soon as possible." Xie Wei said immediately.
"Okay, you guys block the entrance outside. If the other party loses too much, they might summon the spirits outside. However, if the enemy is strong, you guys can just move aside. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices." Gu Zheng nodded and said to those people.
"Please don't worry, Young Master Gu. We won't let a single enemy in."
Seeing that Gu Zheng was still concerned about their safety, one of them said excitedly.
"Don't force yourself. Even if they are strong, you won't be able to stop them. Remember." Gu Zheng reminded them. Seeing that they nodded, he went forward and prepared to go in together.
How could he not know what they were doing? They were already eyeing them covetously. Once they entered, they would try their best to stop them.
"Go!"
Gu Zheng saw that they were ready and shouted. Then, the five of them rushed in.
Just as they stepped in, Gu Zheng's vision suddenly blurred and the surrounding environment changed.
The original cave was gone, replaced by a blue sky and lush grass. The original position of the spirits also became distant, as if they were outside.
However, Gu Zheng knew that this was just the space formed by the formation. The black formation in the middle was five times bigger than the one in the cave. It was even more shocking. At this time, he could feel the traces of the formation.
Xie Wei and one of the Elders, together with two other Elders, rushed towards the two Demonic Souls.
Although the two Demon Souls wanted to stop Gu Zheng, they didn't dare to underestimate him even though their strength had greatly increased. They were confident that they could kill him in a one-on-one battle, but in a one-on-two battle, they were still at a disadvantage. However, by relying on their continuous recovery, they could barely fight to a draw.
Gu Zheng crossed the distance in the blink of an eye and arrived above the spirits.
Those Demon Souls didn't panic in the slightest. In fact, when they saw Gu Zheng arrive, they began to launch all kinds of attacks at him. They looked extremely brave and fierce.
However, no matter how strong they were, in Gu Zheng's eyes, it was like they were moving in slow motion. It was impossible for them to hit him.
However, he didn't dodge. After setting up a shield in front of him, a ball of flame condensed in his hand. He sneered and looked down. It was as if he could see death through the endless attacks.
"Boom!"
At the place where Gu Zheng was standing, a series of explosions occurred. The violent fluctuations made Xie Wei and the others look over. They were even a little worried that Gu Zheng was too arrogant. He didn't even dodge the attacks. It would be terrible if he suffered a loss.
Even the movements of the Demon Souls below were slightly stunned. Their movements also slowed down. They wanted to follow the figure of the other party and launch another attack.
However, their worries were unnecessary. Before the explosions ended, a fist-sized red flame broke through the encirclement.
That floating posture, coupled with its harmless aura, was like a joke.
However, that fireball was also very fast. From the time it appeared above the spirits, it didn't even take the blink of an eye. Some of the spirits were still wondering what the use of such a weak attack was.
In the next moment, it exploded. Countless fingernail-sized flames emerged from the small flame. It was like a rain of fire, enveloping all the spirits below.
Those small flames accurately landed on the spirits. Even if they raised any defenses in time, they were completely ignored.
"Boom!"
One by one, the torches rose into the sky. At the highest point of the flames, they were extinguished. All the spirits below dissipated.
When Xie Wei saw this, his face lit up with excitement. However, he found that the cultivation of the other party didn't drop at all. It wasn't affected at all.
"What's going on?" Xie Wei shouted at Gu Zheng.
"Don't worry, the other party isn't dead."
Gu Zheng was also very puzzled. However, when he saw the black spots flying out from the black array, the spirits that had just died appeared one after another. He immediately understood.
"You didn't expect this, did you? I didn't just learn a little from the other side. If it wasn't for the fact that I wanted to study the uniqueness of it, why would I give them such a long time?"
At this moment, the yellow fog chuckled. Its tone was full of pride. Although it had to rely on the power of the imperial jade seal to bring out the effects of this set, it was enough to buy time at this critical moment.
However, this didn't make Gu Zheng give up. Instead, he smiled. Then, a strong light emitted from his hand. Below him, spiritual guards appeared. Although they were simply holding various weapons, the Chaos Spirit was shocked.
"Spiritual guards, how could they still be alive?"
Gu Zheng didn't care about the other party. Although it seemed that there were only ten spiritual guards with the same strength as the other party, the spiritual guards were born to suppress these spirits. Or rather, they were able to suppress any spirits. Just the ten elite spiritual guards were enough to kill more than half of the spirits.
More importantly, the Cloud Desolate Sword had replaced the previous array. The cores of these spiritual guards were all inside. Once they died, they could be resurrected at a certain price. They were simply unkillable existences. Indeed, there was no solution.
Under the lead of the elite spiritual guards, the spiritual guards instantly rushed into the midst of the spirits. They fought with all their might. The moment the two sides came into contact, there was a collision. However, relatively speaking, the loss of the spirits was greater.
As long as the core of the black array wasn't destroyed, the dead spirits could continue to be resurrected.
The dead spirits appeared again and joined the battle. Gu Zheng also resurrected the spiritual guards that had dissipated and continued to fight.
In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they had died countless times. Even half of the elite spiritual guards were resurrected again. Each time, it took a huge amount of energy to resurrect them.
Gu Zheng looked at the increasing amount of seawater in the Jade Skull Space and frowned slightly.
"Let's see how much reserves you have! There's no array disc or Black Tortoise Array here. " The Chaos Demon shouted at Gu Zheng. He naturally knew how much he needed. With the Imperial Jade Seal behind him, he wasn't afraid of consumption at all.
"Do you think you can have the last laugh? When the reinforcements from outside come in, it'll be your end." Gu Zheng said with an ugly expression.
"When the army below comes up, I'm afraid you'll be the ones running away. Don't worry, we'll pay you back double for what you've done." The Chaos Demon didn't take it seriously and continued.
"Gu Zheng, quickly think of a way." Xie Wei, who was in the distance, was also very cooperative. He immediately shouted at the other side anxiously.
In fact, they could already feel that the other side's weakness was decreasing bit by bit. They also cooperated with the other side by deliberately suppressing their strength so that the other side would think that there was no change. When the other side's strength reached a certain level, they would immediately give them a thunderous blow.
"I'm thinking, don't worry." Gu Zheng also replied impatiently. At the same time, he quickly absorbed the energy in the Imperial Jade Seal.
"The other side is connecting to an unknown channel. We have to seize the Imperial Jade Seal, or the reinforcements will come out soon." At this time, the brush also sent a message to Gu Zheng anxiously.
"I know, but now we have to get rid of the other side's Undying Demon Soul first. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if these people keep making trouble." Gu Zheng nodded secretly, understanding the other side's meaning.
The scene began to fall into a tug-of-war. Gu Zheng was secretly waiting for an opportunity. After all, the black formation itself had a strong defensive power. Even if there was no interference, it would be difficult to break it. Therefore, they had to get rid of the obstacles in front of them first.
As for the Chaos Beasts, they hurriedly contacted the people below, trying to get some strong reinforcements first. Then, they would work together to take down this group of people in one fell swoop.
In the middle of the stalemate, there was a black vortex that was only about three feet wide in the middle of the black formation. This was the most important position. The vortex was connected to the area below, and there were already many people waiting below, ready to go up at any time.
"Heavenly King, the Demon General above has successfully seized the Imperial Jade Seal and is forcefully opening this channel. As long as the gap in the middle is big enough, you can go out again. By then, no one can stop us."
A spirit general in silver armor stood at the side and said.
"I know, but it's still that group of people outside who are making trouble for us. Why do I still have a bad feeling this time?"
The Heavenly King stood there and looked up at the sky. At this time, the sky that was supposed to be silver was covered by endless black clouds that stretched for thousands of miles. It was so dark that it was as if one could reach out and touch it.
In the middle, there was a gigantic vortex that was thousands of feet wide. It was a gigantic mouth that could devour anyone at any time. It looked extremely horrifying.
Not to mention, within the vortex, there were bolts of lightning that were even thicker than a hundred-year-old tree. They would jump out from time to time, and that massive aura was even more frightening.
In reality, there were only a handful of Demon Souls within the radius of thousands of miles below this channel. Beside them was a gigantic black shield, and there were rows of Demon Soul Warriors whose mental states were at their peak.
This was also because the Heavenly King had stepped in so that they could go up at any time. Otherwise, even Jin Xian at his peak would not be able to withstand this massive aura for long. He would be crushed to death by the aura.
"Heavenly King, we will definitely succeed this time. Once the channel above is open enough to allow Big Luo to go up, we will rush up to provide reinforcements." The silver spirit general said.
"Yes, I will be here as well. As long as I can go up, even if I'm injured right now, those people are no match for me." The Heavenly King's eyes were filled with hatred.
"The few of you, get ready. Once there's a chance, immediately go up. Do you understand?" The silver spirit general seemed to be unaffected by the immense pressure in the air.
At that time, the few Early Stage Big Luo who were on standby were already glowing with a faint light. They were not as calm as the silver spirit general.
"Yes!"
Hearing the silver spirit general's order, they immediately replied loudly with their greatest spirits. With the Heavenly King here, how could they not perform well?
