"Pain …"
"Young Master, save me …"
In the deepest part of the room, a small moan could be heard. After sensing a familiar aura, although she thought she was hallucinating, as it had happened many times before, she still could not help but let out a cry.
His entire body had been dyed black, and the chilly wind that constantly blew around him caused his entire body to tremble.
However, at her heart, there was a golden light that was protecting her. No matter how bad the situation was, the black fog that was entrenched in her body was unable to penetrate her body. As soon as it got close, it would be burned by the golden light.
"Xiao Ying?"
Standing in the distance, Gu Zheng looked at Xiao Ying, who was being tortured, and muttered to himself in disbelief.
"Young Master … Wu … Save me."
As if she had sensed Gu Zheng's words, the small head that was originally hanging down suddenly lifted up and looked towards Gu Zheng's direction. In the two pairs of blood-red eyes, there was still a trace of golden light that was trapped. However, the golden light was almost invisible and was smaller than the tip of a needle.
However, the desire in it made the golden light flicker continuously, wanting to break free from the restraint of the red sea of blood.
"Xiao Ying!"
Gu Zheng suddenly took large strides forward, wanting to rescue the other party.
As for Xiao Ying, she raised her trembling hand and stretched it forward. Her originally fleshy arm now looked like a skeleton's arm. It was all skin and bones.
"How dare you spy on this place, die!"
At this moment, in the space, a somewhat familiar angry roar suddenly sounded.
Then, Gu Zheng felt the surrounding wind rise, and everything in front of him started to become blurry. His entire body was pulled into a whirlpool that was constantly spinning.
"Xiao Ying!"
In the midst of the spinning world, Gu Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and sat up on the bed. His entire back was soaked in cold sweat, and even his entire body felt extremely stiff, as if he had just been released from a frozen state.
"Young Master!"
Xiao Ying's voice faintly resounded in his ears.
Above his head, a small black pagoda was constantly spinning. Large amounts of black light continuously fell from the sky and surrounded Gu Zheng. As he woke up, the black light above him gradually disappeared.
"Black Tower, tell me what's going on!"
Gu Zheng stood up from the bed with a hint of severity in his eyes. Then, he looked at the Black Tower that was slowly stopping spinning above his head and said in a somewhat cold voice.
The Black Tower trembled, and then a wisp of black Qi came out from it. It transformed into the appearance that Gu Zheng had seen at that time. Facing Gu Zheng's unkind gaze, it avoided his gaze and said.
"The goal in your heart is too terrifying, and it's very easy for you to die there. That's why I took the opportunity to help you hide."
Gu Zheng had not only come here to save Pan Xuan, but after learning that this was Wen Tianhou's place, he had also decided to save Xiao Ying as well.
However, after coming out of the Black Tower, he only had one wish left, and that was to leave with Pan Xuan. As for Xiao Ying, it was as if she had completely forgotten about him.
If he had really found Pan Xuan before, then perhaps Gu Zheng would have really taken her and left this place.
Although he had a way to leave this place, and the Black Tower could also do it, he did not have a way to enter. Once he left, he would not be able to enter at all. If that was the case, he felt that he would go crazy.
Xiao Ying had been bitterly waiting for him, yet he had left. Thinking of this, he felt his heart clench.
After digging through the information in his heart again, Gu Zheng knew who was behind all this.
"I don't need you to decide what I do. Since our paths are different, then don't be together. Later, I will send you to Gu Cheng's side, and let him help you find your way back."
Gu Zheng did not care at all what the other party said, even if the other party might have paid a certain price to bring him to Xiao Ying's side to a certain extent. However, this was not enough to quell the anger in Gu Zheng's heart.
"No! The other party's strength is so high. If you go over now, you will be completely throwing your life away. If you want to save her, even if your strength is ten times stronger now, you are still not a match for the other party. I have been here for a long time, and know how terrifying the other party is. " When the woman saw Gu Zheng's resolute attitude, she immediately became anxious. She turned around in the air, and blocked in front of Gu Zheng.
"That is my business. Since you are afraid of death, then continue to wait. I will return the other half of the control to you. At that time, you can find someone else."
Gu Zheng was unmoved. With a wave of his hand, he shattered the other party's illusion, and then continued to walk forward.
However, he had only taken a single step when the Black Tower in the air spun, and once again blocked in front of him.
Gu Zheng's eyes narrowed, and his expression darkened.
"What do you want to do? Don't think that I can't do anything to you. However, I can seal you for millions of years, and you will never be able to come out. "
"Please listen to me. I know that what I did before was wrong, but think about it. If you had just come out and gone over, I am afraid that you would already be dead. You have to understand that even if you want to save her, you need a foolproof plan. You cannot act rashly. I have a method here that can completely help you," the Black Tower hurriedly said.
"Isn't it a little too late to say it now? I hate it when people deceive and hide things from me the most." Gu Zheng stopped in his tracks, still looking coldly at the Black Tower in front of him, and then continued to walk forward.
If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't do anything to the other party, he would have torn the other party apart by now. Right now, he didn't want to listen to the other party's explanation at all.
"You should listen to it. Although the other party was wrong, it was still for your own good."
Right at this moment, Elder Gu's figure pushed open the door from outside, and said to Gu Zheng.
She had been listening from outside all this time, and roughly knew some things. In fact, the blocked consciousness wasn't entirely the Black Tower's fault.
Because of Wen Tianhou, everyone who was aware of Xiao Ying's existence, as long as they were within the range of the Black Prison, unless he deliberately avoided them, would reduce their attention to Xiao Ying. In other words, his existence would be diluted.
And the Black Tower was just going with the flow. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to cover it at all.
More importantly, at that time, if Gu Zheng had a strong hatred towards Wen Tianhou, even if he didn't mention the other party's name, the other party would have been able to sense it, because this was the other party's headquarters.
Elder Gu persuaded from the side, and slowly told Gu Zheng all this.
"Elder Gu is right. Even if the other party is injured now, you shouldn't keep thinking about it. The other party's control over this place is far beyond everyone's understanding. Although the other party can't do anything to me, I can't do anything to him either. I can only hide in a place where he can't find me, and only then can I quietly survive."
Hearing Elder Gu's words, the Black Tower nodded repeatedly at the side, because what she said was absolutely right.
Hearing this, Gu Zheng wasn't as angry as before. Thinking about it carefully, if he really did save Xiao Ying at that time, he would definitely have thought of the other party. If that was the case, the other party might really have sensed it.
"Although I don't know much from the minds of those Demon Souls, I know that the first person to appear in this place was him. No one knows why this place appeared and is hidden under the Underworld. However, the other party's terrifying part is his cultivation. Fortunately, when we were above, the other party was only a consciousness clone. Otherwise, everyone would have died there."
Elder Gu saw Gu Zheng's strange movements, and then quickly said.
Hearing this, Gu Zheng turned his head and said coldly to the Black Tower.
"I will definitely save the other party. Didn't you say there was a way? If it's possible, I will forgive you this time. However, next time, whether it's for my good or for other things, don't be heartless to me."
"I know, I definitely won't next time." The Black Tower, who had a favor to ask of Gu Zheng, also softened at this time.
If Gu Zheng really sealed the other party, then it could really be said to be in despair. Moreover, it brought all of this upon itself. Even if it resented, it couldn't resent others.
"Then say it."
Gu Zheng said indifferently, and at the same time, sat down at a table at the side with Elder Gu.
The Black Tower spun and withdrew its phantom image. Then, it floated in the middle of them before speaking.
"It's like this. This plan only came to fruition after sneaking in there."
"Stop spinning, you're dizzy."
Gu Zheng directly choked the other party. The Black Tower, which was originally spinning, paused, then stopped spinning, and directly stood in midair. Only then did it continue to speak.
"Through a secret technique, I discovered a shocking secret just now. That person is already injured, and the injury is not light. Although I don't know why, I know that the Spirit Tool on the other party is not on him, and has already fused with that little girl."
"In that case, that scene is real? I really appeared there? "
Gu Zheng suddenly interrupted again.
"Yes, it's just some kind of secret technique. Although the other party saw through it, you saw the other party, and the other party also saw the appearance I made for you, so they won't know your original appearance."
"I know, continue speaking." Gu Zheng clenched his fists under the table, and then said calmly.
At this time, he remembered that Gu Cheng said that the lord had already found Wen Tianhou. It seemed that it should be the battle between them that caused Wen Tianhou's injury.
Elder Gu, on the other hand, sensed his small movements, and also knew his feelings, so he didn't say much. The Black Tower also continued to speak.
"Since the other party is injured, this is nothing, but since he has lost the Spirit Tool that accompanied him, and is bound with that little girl, then this is our chance.
"When I came here, I was only a few days later than him, and at that time, the other party's cultivation was not so high, and with the appearance of those Demonic Soul subordinates, his strength increased little by little.
"In the past, when he had a Spirit Tool, with the protection of the Spirit Tool, and with the Void Spirit Great Formation that he set up, this move could do nothing to him, but now the other party wants to fuse the two Spirit Tools, and at the same time increase his own strength, increase his control over his subordinates, this is our chance."
The Black Tower spoke eloquently, but Gu Zheng frowned. Although he knew that the other party said all this to make him understand, he didn't want to listen to this nonsense.
"Get to the point!"
"The point is that now, we can destroy the other party's Void Spirit Great Formation in the periphery, and the formation eyes of the great formation are the four cities near the main city. They are respectively connected with the nearby Spirit Veins as the foundation, and as long as two of them are destroyed, the other party's cultivation will definitely drop by a level," the Black Tower said excitedly.
"If the other party drops by a level, wouldn't he be a Demi-Saint?" Gu Zheng felt that it was useless. Could this be considered a solution?
"But the other party is injured, and previously, we couldn't see any chance of victory, but now, we barely have a 5% chance. Of course, you have to have a way to make the other party's subordinates rebel and counterattack, then at least the chance will increase by 10%. After all, against Demonic Souls of the same race, their injuries can't be defended, and even he can't block it. Without the support of those Demonic Souls, his strength will drop a little."
The Black Tower paused, and then continued to speak.
"It's already not bad, at least there is a way. You have to know that if the other party is injured, even if his cultivation doesn't drop, we have no chance of victory against him," Elder Gu said from the side.
Gu Zheng also knew that Gu Zheng was right. There was at least a 5% chance, and it was better than the despair from before.
"This is the only way. Apart from this, you have to find someone stronger than him and kill him." The Black Tower landed on the table and said the last sentence.
"We won't be able to find them. Gu Zheng, don't be discouraged. Take it one step at a time. Even if I have to risk my life, I will save the person you want to save." Elder Gu consoled him.
"It's a pity. Even if I finish creating all of these guards, there will only be a thousand of them at most. It's a drop in the bucket. As for the exact number of the other party's team, although I don't know, it's still a little weak." Elder Gu sighed from the side.
"If I provide you with another kind of endless energy, can you create more?" Gu Zheng looked at Elder Gu and asked.
"Are you talking about black water? That won't work, I've thought about it, but there are some special substances inside. I don't know what they are, but they prevent me from converting. "
Elder Gu thought that Gu Zheng was talking about black water. There were many of them, and although they weren't very stable, they were relatively easy to obtain.
"No, where are you keeping the painting heart? I'll take you to see if it can be used. "Gu Zheng stood up and put away the Black Tower in his bosom.
Pan Xuan had to be found, but Xiao Ying had to be saved.
Right now, he knew that if he wanted to save Xiao Ying, he would have to face Wen Tianhou. Therefore, he had to find Pan Xuan first and send her away before facing Wen Tianhou. After all, it was too difficult to defeat the other party. He had to take it step by step, starting from destroying the Void Spirit Formation.
However, before that, they needed an army to help them. Otherwise, if they really had to face the endless demon souls, with their current strength, they would probably be annihilated by the other party before they even arrived.
Therefore, not only did he have to increase Elder Gu's strength, he also had to rope in useful people. Perhaps Gu City's side wasn't too difficult, but the experts from Soul Alliance had to be won over. He knew how strong the other party truly was.
Disregarding the countless servant demon souls, there was also the truly powerful Ghost General. If they really all swarmed up, he probably wouldn't even be able to see the other party before being blasted to pieces by the other party's subordinates.
Therefore, he needed reinforcements, the more the better. He had to win over everything he could.
From eavesdropping on Senior Jin and Ma Nan's conversation, the demon soul's energy seemed to be focused on Soul Alliance. It seemed to want to use this opportunity to completely destroy the other party.
What the other party wanted to do was something he had to destroy. Moreover, he still needed Soul Alliance's help and needed to find Pan Xuan. Therefore, he had to quickly finish things here and go to Soul Alliance.
"I know you value the other party. I locked her up alone and didn't do anything to her. I was just waiting for you." Elder Gu stood up and indicated for Gu Zheng to follow her out.
"Thank you!"
When they walked out of the room, Gu Zheng said seriously to Elder Gu.
"What are you talking about? If it wasn't for you, I would have died long ago. Not to mention, you saved my life this time. You know what my wish is." Elder Gu said to Gu Zheng in a serious tone.
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and didn't say anything else. Then, under Elder Gu's lead, they flew into the distance.
As for when Elder Gu played a trick and made him unconscious, he wasn't worried at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have calmly accepted it without any resistance.
In the prison that Elder Gu specially set up, although it was called a prison, it was actually just a normal room. Outside, there was a simple barrier. Afterwards, she didn't care about it anymore.
Although she could clearly see her surroundings, Hua Xin was already in complete despair.
Originally, when the other party captured her and wanted to force information out of her, she thought that she would rather die than submit and say nothing.
However, the other party had left her alone for half a month. During this time, no one had come over. If it weren't for the fact that she could occasionally see the other party's figure in the surroundings, she was afraid that she would have thought that she had been abandoned and trapped here to death.
Not to mention a few years or more, even this short period of time felt like a year to her. One had to know that although the Soul Painting Clan was good at restraining others, they hated being restrained.
Now, she felt that if the other party came over to ask, she could say anything. Anyway, the other party couldn't do anything even if they knew. Could they kill their way in?
Don't laugh. Just the elders in their clan could crush the other party repeatedly.
Thinking of this, her face was full of pride. However, in the blink of an eye, her expression fell again. Because she was only here to escort something, but now she was a prisoner.
"Hey, you're out."
Just as she was lamenting, a voice suddenly came from outside. Only then did she look up. It turned out that the subordinates of the people who had captured her were already standing outside the room and shouting at her.
"What are you waiting for? Do you want me to help you? "Little Qing looked at the other party and then said with some disdain.
"Who's calling me?"
Seeing that the barrier outside had disappeared, she became afraid at this moment. She felt that she was useless and wanted to kill her. Therefore, she cowered and said.
"My clan's elder said that you have something to do. Hurry up and come out," Little Qing said impatiently.
She wasn't worried that the other party would run away. After all, the other party's cultivation had been sealed by Elder Gu. Even if he ran, he wouldn't be able to.
Seeing that the other party wanted to force her way in, Hua Xin didn't waste any more time. She immediately left this place and followed the other party to the center.
Along the way, she looked around. Her expression was very calm, but she was actually a little nervous. She felt that it was better for her to be more strong-willed. Only in this way could the other party feel that she was more useful.
There was a large hall that they had built previously. It was prepared for Lord Jin to use temporarily. Now, it was occupied by the other party.
"Elder Gu, the other party is here."
Not long after, Hua Xin was brought over by Little Qing. Then, she was left alone and left this place.
"Hua Xin, right? This time, you …"
"I don't know anything. It's a waste of effort for you to ask me, unless you torture me."
Gu Zheng looked at the other party and then slowly opened his mouth. In the end, as soon as he opened his mouth, the other party couldn't wait to interrupt him. This made him a little stunned.
"Why don't you? Do you want to ask again? I definitely won't beat you to it again. "
Looking at Gu Zheng's strange gaze, Gu Zheng finally understood why Gu Feng said that the Painting Soul Clan was a little different from ordinary Demon Souls.
From the Meng Zhen that he first met and the Hua Xin that he just met now, he felt that their brain circuits were different.
