In the depths of the Black Temple.
Elder Gu was in the middle of studying something. When he saw Gu Zheng, he stood up from his seat and went to greet Gu Zheng.
"What are you busy with, Elder Gu?" Gu Zheng walked over and asked curiously.
"I'm researching some new summoning guards. After you gave my master something, I have a new idea, but it will take some time." Elder Gu did not hide anything and said directly.
The two of them stood inside, but Elder Gu did not return to her seat.
In this room, there was only one place where they could do it, so the two of them simply stood.
"Congratulations then."
Gu Zheng knew how strong the summoned guards were. Although they were a little weak, they were still a fearless army. "It's all thanks to you. I've already started preparing.
Later on, I've also started to prepare. It's just that it's strange. As long as I mention your name, I find that it's very useful. Some of the original uncooperative ones have also been successfully resolved. It's just that they still need some training. They're still locked up there. What did you do to make them so afraid? "
Elder Gu suddenly looked at Gu Zheng curiously and asked.
After knowing that Gu Zheng had resolved the imprints, she prepared everything a few days later and went there.
When she arrived, those people looked as if they had nothing to live for, which made her feel much more relaxed and less resistant. However, some people were still unwilling. Then she thought of this situation. When she mentioned Gu Zheng's name, they instantly became obedient, and the next step was incomparably smooth.
However, those people did not say anything at all. They even interrogated the other party, and the other party almost went crazy. This made her very curious about what Gu Zheng had done.
"This …"
Gu Zheng thought of the torture method. The other party was tortured, and he was also tortured. He was really embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway." Seeing that Gu Zheng was a little embarrassed, Elder Gu did not ask anymore. Instead, she opened her mouth again and asked Gu Zheng what he wanted to say before.
"Last time, you said that you had something to tell me. Tell me what it is."
"It's like this. This time, Lord Jin came here with all his forces. Isn't the nearest city completely empty? Even if there are some guards, with our intentions, none of them will be able to escape. "Gu Zheng replied meaningfully when he heard Elder Gu's question.
"What do you mean?" Elder Gu's eyes gradually brightened as he thought of what Gu Zheng had said. He then looked at Gu Zheng in surprise.
"You're right." Gu Zheng nodded, affirming his own thoughts.
Elder Gu was also shocked by Gu Zheng's bold idea. However, he thought of another problem and frowned.
"Although the chances of success are very high, the gains don't make up for the losses. That city is just a transit point. There are no other resources at all. I've taken most of the resources there. I've already seen the nearby mountains. It's indeed a little strange."
"If we do that, it'll be easy to expose ourselves. At that time, we won't be able to stop the other party."
Elder Gu understood this point. However, she didn't understand why Gu Zheng wanted to fight for that city. That city already had no value.
Although she felt that Gu Zheng was very bold, to think of something that no one dared to do, in other words, that city would bring more harm than good to them. This was what she was confused about.
"Of course. However, someone knows how to get to the gathering point. If we can make it in time, there's a very high chance that the other party hasn't left yet." Gu Zheng thought of this person and laughed.
"Okay then. Tomorrow, we'll leave together."
Demon Soul's small city was the smallest one and the furthest one from inside. Its greatest use was as a transfer point because its location was closer to Soul Alliance's side. Moreover, the soul river that ran through Black Prison and was about to split the earth in half had a weak bottom here.
A rather stable passage was above that connected the two ends. This was also why Soul Alliance was so close to the demon souls and wasn't afraid of them attacking at any time.
The Ghost General that was killed by Elder Gu was the guard of this place. Other than that, there were usually only a small number of Demon Souls here. Their main task was to maintain the operation of this place. Most of the things that were needed were gathered here and transported out.
After Boss Jin left, the city returned to silence. However, in the center, a few demon souls were still hard at work.
The ruins of the explosion had been cleaned up for a period of time, and there was no longer a huge pit left behind. However, this was the only place to rest, so they had to build a similar house here. Otherwise, when Lord Jin returned, there would be no place to rest.
Did they want him to rest in those strange houses? That was just a product of boredom here.
"I wonder how Boss Jin's battle is going. It's been a month. Is the opponent really that hard to deal with?"
The group of Demon Souls that had once monitored Gu Zheng were currently busy in full swing. On the other side, under a small and seemingly normal attic, a beautiful woman stood there, monitoring everything. Thinking of Lord Jin who had yet to show filial piety, she felt somewhat helpless in her heart.
After this place was attacked, she was sent down by the higher-ups to bring a small team here and prepare to bring back the resources left here.
Boss Jin's subordinate would be the guard here in the future. After Boss Jin eliminated the opponent, she would return with him and take some credit for herself.
This small team would be left behind to transport the resources later. Compared to before, their strength had increased quite a bit. She would bring the resources back. For this reason, she specially brought a spatial device.
In reality, she was rather envious of the outsiders. Although they didn't have many things, they still had more than them. Unfortunately, they couldn't use those things. What a disappointment.
Those demon souls were still busy. Hua Xin was prepared to go back and rest for a while, waiting for the other party to complete this procedure. Since the resources were gone, her mission was considered a failure. This made her feel even worse.
At this moment, she felt a special aura coming from afar. It was rapidly approaching here, but it wasn't Boss Jin's aura.
This made her expression change. She immediately looked in front. The small teams that were acting as coolies had long put down their work and started to gather together when she realized that something was wrong. Soon, a small team of a hundred people was formed again, waiting for Hua Xin's orders.
Before this small team was handed over, she was the leader.
Hua Xin didn't hesitate. She immediately led them towards the source of the aura. She wanted to see who was so bold as to cause trouble here.
In her heart, she felt that it was the enemy that Boss Jin had scattered and was forced to come here.
Thinking of this, a trace of anger appeared on her delicate face. She wanted to teach the other party a lesson. She wanted to let them know how powerful she was as a member of the Painting Spirit Team.
When she led the small team to the gate, she happened to see Little Qing and the others who were about to barge in. With a cursory glance, she knew that the other party's number was less than a third of theirs. She was even more disdainful. She pointed the small fan in her hand at them.
"Kill them!"
She stood at the back, ready to watch the other party fall. In her opinion, there was absolutely no problem.
Whether it was in terms of strength or numbers, they were stronger than the defeated army. Although it was strange that the enemy's spirit seemed stronger than theirs, she wasn't worried at all.
"Let's go. They're really here!"
Little Qing saw that the other party had gotten what they wanted. She didn't panic at all and directly shouted to the back.
Then, under Hua Xin's gaze, the other party didn't even come into contact with them. They had already turned around and fled outside.
They couldn't even withstand a single blow!
She thought that she would have to fight for a while. She didn't expect the other party to be so cowardly. Hence, Hua Xin continued to light up the small team and chase after the other party.
In a few breaths' time, the small team chased after the enemy and disappeared under the city gate. She followed behind and slowly walked forward.
Feeling the tremors of the battle in the distance, she thought that Boss Jin would return after defeating the last resistance of the enemy. Then, she would have to welcome him.
She was still thinking about how to reduce the responsibility this time. When she walked out of the city gate, she was a little dumbfounded.
Not far from the side of the city gate, her small team happened to be in an intense battle with the enemy.
She thought that she would see a massacre on her side. She didn't expect that her side would be massacred by the other party.
A group of black-armored warriors, led by a woman in red armor, were like tigers in a flock of sheep. They couldn't resist at all.
Although the leader of the small team seemed to have the same cultivation as the other party, he could only barely hold on while the other party still had the strength to attack the others.
While she was in a daze, more than a dozen people from the group she had seen earlier had died. This made her shudder all of a sudden.
Although she wasn't afraid of the other party in a one-on-one battle, it was obvious that the other party wouldn't give her the chance. What was more frightening was that the other party was brazenly ambushing her here.
Didn't this mean that the smart her had thought of everything? She didn't care about the life and death of these small teams.
In the next moment, Hua Xin turned around and ran towards the center of the city. There was a temporary communication array there that could inform the city above that there was great danger here.
However, just as she turned around and ran in, she saw a woman appear in the city. Looking at her, she felt her limbs stiffen.
Because of the other party's huge pressure, she didn't need to think too much to know that she couldn't deal with her. This confirmed her guess.
Then, he leaped into the air and disappeared as if he had drilled into the void.
"Come out!"
Elder Gu and the others had already arranged everything. When the other party went out, they had already sealed all the remaining Demon Souls in the city. How could they let the other party escape?
As she grabbed at the void, not far away, Hua Xin's figure staggered out. She was glad that she was caught.
As Elder Gu's hand twirled, a green light emerged from her hand and turned into a green rope in the air, binding the other party. If Gu Zheng hadn't said that the other party was useful, she would have killed the other party with a slap.
Only then did Painted Heart stabilize her body. She felt the extreme danger in her heart and no longer hesitated. She fanned herself with the small fan in her hand. With a bang, she turned into a piece of white paper and floated down. The green rope that had lost its target swayed in the air and wanted to fly into the distance.
However, as Elder Gu waved her hand, it returned unwillingly.
Because the other party couldn't escape.
Next, Elder Gu would dig out all the sealed Demon Souls and imprison them temporarily. When the time came, she would turn them into one of her own.
As long as the other party was a low-level Demon Soul that didn't have any consciousness, it would be easy to control them.
As for those Demon Souls that had real consciousness, unless their cultivation hadn't reached the Sky Immortal Realm, she couldn't do anything.
In a small house at the edge of this small city, this room wasn't much different from the others. The only difference was that there was a brass mirror inside. However, it was placed on the ground and covered by dust. It didn't have any sense of existence and could even be easily overlooked.
At this moment, the surface of the mirror suddenly shook and countless fine cracks appeared on the smooth surface of the mirror. Then, a figure flew out from inside.
"Luckily, I made preparations and left an escape route here. Otherwise, I would have been caught by the other party."
After Painted Heart appeared inside, she quickly looked around and said with some relief.
Originally, she didn't plan to come here. This place was very far from the place where she was informed. It would be easy for the other party to catch her.
However, she had to use it now even if she didn't use it. Otherwise, if she was caught by the other party, there would be no hope at all.
Thinking of the other party's boldness, even now, she didn't dare to believe it. However, if the other party really succeeded, it would be very normal for her side to not be discovered for hundreds of years. After all, very few people came here.
Looking into the distance, she could vaguely see a figure flying up and down quickly. It seemed like the other party was looking for her.
"If I had cultivated to a high level, I could have placed this mirror outside the city. Why would I need to take such a risk? I could just escape from here and explode behind me."
Sighing in her heart, Hua Xin leaped up and flew into the sky again.
"Bang!"
"Ouch!"
Hua Xin felt as if her head hit a hard wall. Her whole body fell from the sky. It was so painful that her eyes were watery. Looking in front of her, there was nothing blocking her.
"The other party couldn't have placed such a large restriction and imprisoned the entire city. Otherwise, I would have been discovered long ago."
Rubbing her head, Hua Xin stretched out her hand and touched the front. She didn't touch anything. After thinking for a moment, she changed her direction. After confirming that there was no obstruction, she wanted to fly into the sky again.
Following a crisp sound, Hua Xin's figure fell again. She had failed to fly into the sky again.
"How is this possible!?"
Hua Xin couldn't believe that her innate skill had failed just like that. Seeing that the other party was approaching her, she knew that if she didn't hide, she would be discovered. She didn't believe it and rushed in another direction.
"Don't try anymore. Follow me obediently. It's best if you suffer less."
Gu Zheng saw that Hua Xin was so stubborn that she wanted to try again. He felt that it was better to stop her. Otherwise, if she really ran into some problems, it would be hard to clean up.
"Who is it!?"
Hua Xin jumped in fright. When Gu Zheng's voice sounded, she jumped up like a frightened cat and looked around. She tried to find Gu Zheng's figure, but she couldn't find him at all.
Gu Zheng directly jumped down from the roof and appeared in front of Hua Xin in a flash.
"It's you!"
Looking at Gu Zheng in front of her, Hua Xin was a little confused. She seemed to have seen his face in the group that entered the city not long ago. Why did she see him here again?
However, in the next moment, her expression changed drastically. She understood what was going on. The other party was a spy. Without saying anything, she attacked him.
Gu Zheng looked at the fierce attack from the other party and didn't care. When the other party came closer, he reached out his hand. Ignoring the other party's hand shadows that filled the sky, he flipped and grabbed the other party's wrist. Then, he quickly shook it twice and a golden rope was tied on the other party's wrist.
Not only did he restrict the other party's movements, he even sealed a part of the other party's cultivation, making it impossible for the other party to reach the level of a Celestial Immortal. There was no threat at all.
Ignoring the other party's resistance, Gu Zheng directly stepped into the air and flew towards Elder Gu. As for Hua Xin behind him, no matter how she struggled, she could only follow behind him.
"How did you know where the other party escaped?" Elder Gu grabbed the unconscious Demon Soul below and threw it out of the city. Then, he looked at Gu Zheng and asked.
"I don't know much about the other Demon Souls. As for the Painting Soul Clan, I know a little about it. It's also information that was leaked by them," Gu Zheng said ambiguously.
He was referring to the isolated city. On the way, he had already explained the situation there in detail.
However, he knew that it was actually Meng Zhen who leaked the information. Although they had only known each other for a short time, under Gu Zheng's curiosity, Meng Zhen said a lot.
Anyway, at that time, they might not be able to come out. After so many restrictions were removed, Gu Zheng knew a lot about the other party's situation.
"I'm also done here. I've set up a simple cage outside the city. Bring Little Qing and the others in first," Elder Gu said without suspecting anything.
Gu Zheng nodded. Then, the two of them directly flew out of the city.
At this time, the battle outside the city had also ended. Under the strangulation of the guards, the small team had no power to resist at all. What was even more worrisome was that without Hua Xin's order, they wouldn't escape. Sometimes, it was an advantage, but sometimes, it was really a disadvantage.
Little Qing and the others were also at the side, instructing the guards to throw the Demon Souls that Elder Gu had thrown out of the cage into the small area. When they saw Elder Gu and the others coming over, they also welcomed them happily.
Although this operation was bold, they didn't have the slightest objection. In fact, it was indeed a very simple success.
As for offending the Demon Souls even more, to them, it couldn't be worse than now.
"What are you going to do with all this?" Looking at the simple array around them, it didn't look like it was to trap them. Gu Zheng was a little puzzled and turned to look at Elder Gu beside him.
"Of course I'm going to do something, but I still need your cooperation." Elder Gu saw that Gu Zheng was very "tactful" and his expression didn't change. Then, he pointed to the center of the array and continued.
"Then, I'll stand there. When the time comes, you'll know. Do you want to help?"
"Of course. Just say it." Gu Zheng's eyes were filled with more doubts, but he immediately agreed.
"Then I'll offend you! I'll ask for your forgiveness later. "
Under Little Qing's astonished gaze, Elder Gu took out the Yin Yang Pearl. Under Gu Zheng's astonished gaze, he drew a circle above his head. Then, as if drunk, Gu Zheng's figure slowly fell to the center below.
