Boom!
Following a huge explosion, the black gas swirled in the air. Gu Zheng's figure rushed out from the giant beast's stomach. Before he could see his surroundings clearly, he felt his surroundings darken. The black rhombus darts that had been prepared earlier surrounded him like a huge collar, trying to squeeze him firmly in the middle.
Gu Zheng's figure suddenly leaped upwards. However, in the originally empty sky, a huge diamond dart suddenly appeared. It was like a lid that came crashing down.
At this moment, the rhombus darts around him formed ropes that had already surrounded him. He could feel the bone-chilling coldness on the surface of his skin. In the next moment, they would completely bind him.
Naturally, he would not be so easily outnumbered. His entire body shook, and a huge force emerged from his body, turning into a huge whirlwind that spun. He wanted to block the rhombus darts around him for a moment and let him escape.
Bang, Bang, Bang!
However, when the strong whirlwind came into contact with the rhombus darts, those tough rhombus darts were like fragile gravel and exploded one after another. In the blink of an eye, Gu Zheng was surrounded by countless black gas, and he seemed to have sunk into a black world.
"I was tricked!"
This question instantly appeared in Gu Zheng's mind. The other party did not want to lock him up, but to trap him. Although he did not know why the other party did this, it was obvious that there was a reason for doing so.
At this moment, he felt like he had sunk into a swamp. This black fog seemed light, but in fact, there were countless pulling forces coming from within. It made his movements consume ten times the strength that he used to move. Only then could he move at half of his previous speed.
He also did not know how big this black fog was. Even his divine senses were compressed to within three meters of him.
"Uh!"
Just as he was struggling to walk in the direction in his memory, a rhombus dart suddenly pierced in from the outside. He could not react at all and directly landed on his shoulder. Half of the rhombus dart sank into his flesh.
The pain was accompanied by a tingling sensation. Gu Zheng knew that he had been poisoned. His first reaction was to put up a stronger layer of protection outside his body. Then, he pulled out the dart and began to treat the wound in his body.
In just a few breaths of time, the bloody hole had already healed, but there were still more chestnut darts shooting towards Gu Zheng. Fortunately, these chestnut darts were also affected by the black fog. Although it was not as exaggerated as Gu Zheng's, it still greatly reduced the power of the chestnut darts and was blocked by his outer layer of protection.
From the looks of it, these darts were soul armaments that were specifically designed to deal with them. Normally speaking, they wouldn't be of much use even if they were meant to protect themselves. The darts had the ability to break through defenses, and Madam Xue's husband had been killed by her sneak attack in a single strike.
However, the prerequisite for all of this was that the other party had to be a Yao Soul as well. She would never have thought that although Gu Zheng had the aura of this place, it was only his profound disguise. Gu Cheng had taught him a new disguise technique, so ordinary people would not be able to see through it.
She had intentionally sacrificed a few of Jin Xian's peak subordinates in order to stall Gu Zheng for a few breaths of time so that she could prepare a feast. Everything had gone very smoothly, but she had never thought that Gu Zheng was not a person of this place. Her methods had not been of much use against him.
After all, maintaining such a large black fog was extremely exhausting. If Lamia could cooperate by the side, with her special ability, she would be able to enter the black fog like a fish in water under her support. The effect produced wouldn't be as simple as adding up, and she could even fight against a late-stage Grand Heavenly Immortal.
This was the feast she had prepared for her world, Madam Xue.
Gai Jin was surrounded by even more chestnut darts, but most of them did not rush towards the black fog in front of her. Instead, they rushed towards the ice mountain where Madam Xue was. Every time they collided, large chunks of ice would be shaved off.
She naturally knew that her main objective here was to kill Madam Xue and the group of people on the other side.
However, the situation had changed. There was an expert on the other side who could summon powerful spiritual creatures and completely obstruct them. Since she could not quickly finish off the other side, she had to complete her main objective first.
Below the ice mountain, the Yao Souls that looked like wild boars were groaning on the ground. Scarlet saliva was spat out from their mouths and landed on the ice mountain. In the blink of an eye, large chunks of the ice mountain were dyed red and looked extremely fragile.
Then, the chestnut darts fell from the sky and directly shattered the red chunks of ice.
In just a short while, a small portion of the ice mountain had disappeared. Inside, Hua Xin's eyes were filled with terror. She had not expected that the other side would have a way to break through the ice mountain. If this continued, her defenses would be broken through very quickly. When that happened, she and Madam Xue would be doomed.
As for Madam Xue, she was still the same as before. With her cultivation, she was directly frozen and did not even realize what had happened.
She could not help but look in other directions. Gu Zheng was still in the black fog and did not show any signs of wanting to come out. However, since the other side could trap him, it seemed that he would not be able to come out for a while.
Below, the person who was healing the baby also did not have the ability to do so.
As for the hollow spirit, she could only feel the vibrations coming from outside. She could not even see his shadow, which made her feel despair.
If she could speak, she would definitely surrender to the other side. Unfortunately, she could only move her eyeballs and could not do anything else.
That was not completely right. At least she could break through the ice mountain's restraints and let the other side easily kill her.
As the red light continued to seep into the ice mountain, it quickly shrank to less than a third of its original size. Most of the ice in front had been hollowed out. Soon, it would not be able to block the other side's attacks.
From the vibrations in front of her, Hua Xin felt that her life was already on the countdown. However, there was nothing she could do. She was filled with regret. If only she had left on the other side of the Soul River. Even if she was poisoned, she could have asked others for help.
"Open!"
At this moment, a ball of golden light suddenly rose from the black fog. It was like a rising sun. The golden light pierced through the black clouds in front of her, dyeing half the sky golden.
Gai Jin only felt a tyrannical power erupt from the black fog she had set up. It instantly tore apart the black fog formation she had set up. This made her extremely shocked. After all, the other side's cultivation was lower than hers. Even if she was not paying attention, the other side would not be able to break through in such a short time.
Although she was shocked, under her guidance, the chestnut darts around her instantly formed an impenetrable wall in front of her.
"Bang!"
The huge power directly shattered the wall in front of her. Countless chestnut darts spun and scattered in all directions. Gu Zheng's figure emerged from within. He had a fierce look on his face. A green light lingered around his fist. It was like a shooting star that was constantly circling around. He looked at Gai Jin, who was in disbelief.
Gu Zheng laughed sinisterly. He directly threw a punch at her. It brushed past the other side's shoulder. The green light fell from his fist and directly entered the other side's body.
Bang! A loud sound was heard.
As the green light appeared, it directly penetrated half of the other side's shoulder blade.
The other side's figure was also sent flying by the huge impact. It turned into an exaggerated parabola and disappeared into the valley.
Gu Zheng didn't chase after them. Instead, he turned around and killed the Fiend Souls of the commoners in a few moves.
"We're saved!"
Hua Xin thought with tears in her eyes. If she had been a little later, she and Madam Xue would have died together.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng stood in the middle of the valley, quietly waiting for the other side's return.
Although that attack could severely injure the other side, it would at most cause the other side to lose 30% of their combat strength.
However, after a dozen breaths, Gai Jin, who had been sent flying, did not appear. Instead, there was a scream in the distance. In his perception, the attacking enemies outside retreated like a tide. The enemy of Xu Ling also faked a move and left the battle, flying far away.
With the return of Xu Ling, the entire valley began to fall silent. Soon, it was broken by a group of guards. Those guards rushed towards the ice mountain that had just thawed.
"Madam Xue, I'm late. Please punish me!"
The leader was a middle-aged man in black light armor. He looked strong and strong. His body was still emitting a black aura from his injuries. He was murderous. He came in front of Madam Xue and immediately bowed to apologize.
"Everyone has worked hard. It's fine now. Please guard outside." Madam Xue could not blame her subordinates. She said gently.
Xue Fu did not understand what was going on. He was just running away. When he came to, he found that the surroundings were in chaos. However, Gai Jin had disappeared. It seemed that he had been defeated.
"Thank you, madam!"
The middle-aged man took the others and left. As he left, his eyes were fixed on the baby in the middle of the formation. To them, the young master's safety was just as important.
"Thank you, friend. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to survive." At this moment, Madam Xue also thanked Hua Xin.
"If you really want to thank me, give me something comparable to this spell."
Hua Xin did not hold back. This was the only thing she had that could save her life, and she had only gotten it after accumulating a lot of Merit. Hearing Madam Xue's words, she directly said,
"No problem. When we get there, I'll open the treasury for you to choose!" Madam Xue did not expect Hua Xin to be so straightforward, but she still quickly said.
She did not have anything now, but once they got to the other city, which was also under the Xue family's control, as long as Xiao Qi was safe, she would definitely be the ruler of that city. She could rely on the loyal guards her husband had left behind.
In the original city, it was only a temporary residence. She was also very good friends with her husband. When Xiao Qi fully recovered, they would return to where they were at full speed. At that time, there would be a lot of things. This was not a lie to Painted Heart.
"What are you talking about? Do you know how to talk? She was just joking. "
Gu Zheng was sure that the other party had left. After setting up a simple alarm, he flashed down and scolded Hua Xin.
Madam Xue also thanked Gu Zheng. She knew that Gu Zheng had played a huge role in helping her get through this safely. Moreover, Gu Zheng was also Pan Xuan's friend. Otherwise, why would he care about her life?
"Why did she leave? Did you seriously injure her with that attack just now?" Hua Xin suddenly thought of something. The discouragement in her heart was swept away as she asked Gu Zheng.
She saw very clearly that Gu Zheng had only injured her, but not seriously injured her. Normally speaking, she would not have given up so easily after coming so aggressively.
"I don't know. Who knows what she was thinking? She looked like she didn't want to get hurt." Gu Zheng did not know what she was thinking. He felt that she would have run away if he had injured her.
The Snake Woman was exactly the same as Gai Jin. She did not hesitate and left as soon as she said she would.
However, since she had left, that was even better. In order to injure her, he had already lost the green sword in his hand. He had also lost a weapon that boosted his Yao Soul. Now, even if he met someone of the same level, he might not be able to kill her.
However, the sword in Elder Gu's hand was still very useful. Otherwise, the other party would have given it to him directly. If he wanted to give the green sword away, with its current condition, it would take at least a hundred years for it to not damage its main body. Obviously, it would not be possible to go back and ask for one.
Gu Zheng did not know, so the others did not know what was going on either. However, it was a good thing that the other party had left. Without any enemies to disturb them, everyone turned their attention to Pan Xuan.
Pan Xuan's eyes were still closed, and she wasn't affected by the outside world at all. She was carefully treating Xiao Qi. The black stone had long disappeared, and the red ball in front of her kept rolling. No one knew what was going on inside. At least, Xiao Qi's cries had stopped, and they were all waiting patiently.
After half a day, the light of the formation suddenly shrunk. Countless red lights gathered on the red ball outside.
"Thump thump"
The red ball was now like an embryo. It was beating rhythmically. The sound could even be heard clearly in the air.
Pan Xuan opened her eyes and stood up. Her hands kept dancing in the air. Specks of blood-red light poured into the red ball from the side. The red ball started to beat faster.
Madam Xue was no longer as calm as before. She anxiously paced around, her eyes full of worry.
Because the light in the formation was now even brighter, it completely blocked Pan Xuan's position. Gu Zheng and the others could not see what was going on inside. They could only hear the heartbeat getting more and more intense. It was as if the other party was about to appear. Even they felt a sense of anticipation.
"Wah wah"
As the heartbeat suddenly stopped, Madam Xue's mind instantly collapsed. Then, the sound of a baby crying rang out in the air. It was loud and clear. There was no pain like before.
"Great, great!" Madam Xue was so excited that she lost her composure. Tears kept flowing out of her eyes.
Even Painting Heart, who was standing at the side, was affected. She looked happy.
Soon, the light in the sky disappeared. Pan Xuan walked over with the sleeping Xiao Qi in her arms. She carefully handed Xiao Qi to Madam Xue. Then, she walked towards Gu Zheng.
"Does this person have anything to do with you? You sacrificed so much for her. "
Seeing the fatigue on Pan Xuan's face, Gu Zheng could not help but ask. She had sacrificed so much in order to heal Xiao Qi.
"I don't have much of a relationship with her, but she promised me that she would let the faction she belongs to cooperate with us. Even if they don't cooperate, it will reduce their interference to us. She has a wide network, which is why I helped her. Is it all worth it?" Pan Xuan forced a smile and said.
"Cooperate? You found the others here? But I've already found a way to leave this place. I can leave at any time. "Gu Zheng did not understand what she meant.
At that moment, he had a strange feeling. It was as if she was saying goodbye.
"Is there something you can't say? Maybe I can do something for you? "Gu Zheng asked again, looking at Pan Xuan's conflicted expression.
"It's like this. Some time ago, I used a certain method to meet the Grand Ancestor. Then … we decided to move all of us here to fight against unknown natural disasters. It was also the Grand Ancestor who found a future for our Shura Clan. He allowed us to completely integrate into the Untainted Land, unlike before when we were neither human nor ghost. Moreover, the Grand Ancestor also canceled all the wanted people. That means you should be safe. Or rather, if you're up there, our Shura Clan will not appear."
"I don't know why, but I have to do what the Ancestor ordered me to do. Since you've found the way out, then leave. We'll lead you here. I'll also stay here until everything is done," said the Ancestor.
Pan Xuan stood at the side and waved her hand to block the surroundings. Only Gu Zheng could hear her. She spoke carefully. Even though it was such an important matter, she did not hide anything.
Unbeknownst to him, Gu Zheng's heart was in turmoil because the Asura Clan seemed to have become completely invisible towards the end. Only a small portion of them appeared outside. Could it be because of him, or for some other reason, that the Asura Clan ended up staying here?
After all, Pan Xuan had fallen here because of him. Or perhaps this was just a method. Without him, there were other ways to find this place.
However, Gu Zheng did not know whether it was true or not. He knew that even without him, the other party might have other ways to come here.
Of course, this could also be a transit point for the other party. After all, it was just his guess.
Pan Xuan finished speaking in one breath and heaved a sigh of relief. She also felt a little regretful. She lowered her head and thought about something.
However, after waiting for a while, she realized that Gu Zheng did not say anything. This made her raise her head strangely. She saw that Gu Zheng's eyes were a little unfocused.
"So that's how it is. No wonder. I can only congratulate you. Although I don't know what it is exactly, for your Grand Ancestor to take it so seriously, it must be something important to your entire tribe. At least I don't have to worry about being chased by you all all the time." Gu Zheng felt Pan Xuan's gaze and recovered with a smile.
Pan Xuan said, "Oh." She did not say anything else. Or rather, she did not know how to say it.
"Since you want to come here, you must need a huge amount of materials to connect the two. I guess a small part of your tribe is here. What can I do for you?"
Gu Zheng looked at the silent Pan Xuan and pondered for a moment before speaking.
Perhaps after he left, he would never have the chance to see this person who admired him.
