At this moment, in this cave, everyone had a dumbfounded look on their faces as they looked outside at the same time.
The man who called himself Gu Zheng and the elder of the Ghost Clan could be clearly seen through the remnants of the enchantment. They were fighting fiercely in the Baleful Wind outside.
Because of Gu Zheng's arrival, the wandering souls were all squeezed to another corner. The damaged enchantment was sealed again. Although there was no longer any concealment and the situation could be clearly seen from the outside, with Gu Zheng's protection, they did not have to worry about the Baleful Wind from outside coming in.
"The other party is so violent, it doesn't seem like it's a trick!" Fei Yi said subconsciously.
They did not know that Gu Zheng was special. They thought that the other party did not want to implicate them and brought the other party into the outside world. Otherwise, if the two of them fought here, other than them, only a few lucky ones would be able to survive.
"You're right, but now, it seems to be our turn." The young girl also came back to her senses and turned her head to look at the opposite side.
The elite of the Ghost Clan who followed them also looked outside in a daze. They did not know what was going on in the battle between their elder and the other party.
When they felt that they were being watched by countless gazes, they realized that the wandering souls in front of them were already looking at them with malicious eyes and surrounding them.
Even if most of the other party's cultivation was weaker than theirs, with such a large number, even if they had the advantage of location, they might not be able to hold on.
"Sphere, don't let the other party snatch it away. Leave the other party behind."
One of the elite of the Ghost Clan immediately rushed towards the sphere that Gu Zheng had left on the ground. The young girl also shouted at the same time. At the same time, she moved her finger and a round hole instantly appeared under the sphere. She let the sphere fall down and roll towards her through the tunnel that had just been dug.
Before the other party attacked, she had already completed everything and ensured that none of them could escape. If they could kill these five elite of the Ghost Clan, this would make the wandering souls happy.
When the elite of the Ghost Clan saw this, they did not hesitate and immediately ran towards the tunnel that they came from. They wanted to leave this place first.
They knew their limits and knew that they were no match for these people.
"Want to run? Can you run?"
A stray soul grinned maliciously and slapped a switch to the side. Instantly, a series of collapsing sounds could be heard in the tunnel.
This was a mechanism that they had left behind to prevent the other party from finding out their location. They had even added some extra materials, such that even a Grand Heavenly Immortal would have to spend a long time to get through it.
As for the elites of the Ghost Clan, it was an uncrossable passageway. They were completely stuck in the passageway.
Although the passageway only allowed one wild soul to enter, only one of them could deal with the wild soul. Fei Yi took the lead and entered the passageway. He picked up his black shield and firmly prevented the other party from breaking out.
As long as he defended his position, he didn't even need to attack. Someone else would take care of them.
Through the cracks on the sides, the Ghost Race elites discovered to their despair that countless attacks were coming from the sides. The only thing they could do was defend with all their might and wait for the Elders' support. Otherwise, their fates were obvious.
Outside, the battle between Gu Zheng and the Ghost Clan Elder had become even more intense.
The baleful wind naturally did not pose much threat to Gu Zheng. It was just a little stronger than the usual wind, but it did not affect him at all.
As for the Ghost Clan Elder, it was simply a talisman that hastened his death. Moreover, it was the Path of Time that blasted him until there was nothing left of him.
However, he also had some things on him that allowed him to barely resist the baleful wind for a moment.
However, it still could not hide the despair in his heart. Not only was the other party a human body, which was something that had never happened before, but more importantly, a Five Elements Formation had been left at the entrance of the valley, firmly blocking the only passageway.
In addition to Gu Zheng's desperate entanglement, he had no time to break through that defense.
As for the other beautiful passageway, it was to fly from the surrounding valley that was not high. That would really be complaining that he did not die quickly enough.
It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the surroundings, but in fact, a light screen formed by baleful aura always shrouded the top. When it passed through, one would be dead.
Otherwise, this place would not have caused so many people to tremble in fear and not dare to approach.
"You damned human, let me go. You have no conflict with us, so why can't we just sit down and talk? If you accidentally came here, I can ask the Heavenly King to send you away."
The Ghost Clan Elder tried to break free from Gu Zheng's entanglement while attacking the Five Elements Formation. He wanted to make Gu Zheng give up on fighting him.
Even if Gu Zheng could not deal a fatal blow to him, he could still block him and not let him leave.
Furthermore, he had to use most of his energy to block the baleful wind. The amount of power he could use to threaten Gu Zheng was very limited. It could be said that he could not do anything to Gu Zheng.
"Haha, keep dreaming. You want your Heavenly King to send me away? He'll probably kill me immediately. After all, I was brought down by him." Gu Zheng laughed. He could forget about letting him go. His identity had already been exposed, so he could not let the Ghost Clan Elder in.
As for the stray souls looking outside, they were unable to recognize Gu Zheng's identity. After all, not everyone's attacks were uniformly black.
Seeing that the other party was taking advantage of the opportunity to leave, Zhang Xuan intentionally blocked the other party's path. His entire body glowed with a golden light, and his defense was extremely strong. What he wanted was for the other party to use his full strength to attack him. That way, the defense around him would be weakened, and he would be able to break through it. As long as there was an opening, the endless baleful winds would be able to deal with the other party for him.
However, the Ghost Clan Elder understood what Gu Zheng was thinking. He stretched out his hand to grab Gu Zheng's body. Under the golden light, he was unable to break through that layer of defense. Instead, it was the added power that allowed Gu Zheng to move away.
The Ghost Clan Elder took the opportunity to launch another attack at the defense not far in front of him. Although the Five Elements Formation was hastily set up by Gu Zheng, it was not broken by the Ghost Clan Elder's weak attacks.
After a few ripples, only one side of the earth-colored wall was revealed. The void in front of him returned to normal.
At this moment, Gu Zheng had already rushed up and slammed his palm at the Ghost Clan Elder's head, weakening the outer defense of the Ghost Clan Elder.
The Ghost Clan Elder was about to collapse.
The elder of the Ghost Clan had no choice but to turn around and leave his position. He was also chattering non-stop. He was very unwilling to die here. He didn't even have the chance to display his strength. He didn't have a good fight with the enemy.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the Ghost Clan Elder let out an unwilling roar and was blown away by the baleful wind.
"It would be great if I was so lucky every time!"
Gu Zheng shook his head and put away his unrealistic thoughts. Then, he put away his five rings and quickly flew towards the mountain.
If his guess was correct, there would at least be a stray soul left there to communicate with him. Otherwise, the Ghost Clan Elder would have been killed countless times.
After opening a gap and rushing in, he saw the beautiful woman from before and turned around to block the gap.
"Looks like you've already dealt with those Ghost Clan Elders. You're really fast!"
Gu Zheng praised as he looked at the traces of battle around him. Everywhere was a mess.
Above him, the gap was still open. The other stray souls had already left.
"It's all thanks to this Lord's help. Otherwise, we would not have been able to escape this calamity," the young woman said with a smile. Then, she walked in front of Gu Zheng and solemnly bowed to Gu Zheng.
Her hands were clasped together at her abdomen, and at the same time, she bent her waist as if she was half bowing.
"External Soul Thousand Chill!"
They would not call themselves stray souls. That was a form of humiliation. They would call themselves external souls.
"Just call me Gu Zheng. Looking at you, you seem to understand why I'm here." Gu Zheng waited for the other party to stand up and accept the bow before casually speaking.
"Senior Gu is joking. In reality, I know that many Soul Alliance people are looking for us. Since senior has helped us, you can be considered a friend of our stray souls. If you need anything, just contact us. However, due to the special circumstances these days, we won't be trading weapons. Please forgive us," Qian Han said.
"I don't lack weapons. I just want to discuss other cooperation with you. It's something that concerns all of you. If you're interested, go to the border city and give my name. Naturally, someone will receive you."
Gu Zheng's words directly revealed some information. Adding on his previous actions, it was enough for the other party to go. The opportunity would be grasped by Elder Gu. However, he believed that Elder Gu could successfully pull the other party in.
"So that's how it is. It seems that your imagination is stronger than what I know. We're very interested. I'll represent a portion of my side to go there." Qian Han understood Gu Zheng's intentions. After thinking for a moment, she said.
"That's good. In reality, when you went to find water demons, you activated the Black Screen species' mechanism and happened to find where you were. I also happened to follow your team back. However, you should leave quickly. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Since his goal was achieved, Gu Zheng prepared to leave.
He only needed a catalyst to bring the other party and Elder Gu together. As long as the other party went over, he didn't need to say too much. If the other party wasn't willing, it would be a waste. This Qian Han was clearly only the leader of this place and couldn't decide the opinions of all the stray souls.
"Ka Ka"
At this moment, a shattering sound came from the side. Gu Zheng turned his head to look and found that it was the ghost species' round ball. Due to the awakening of the descendants inside, it had already shattered.
Originally, it was only the size of a fist, but in just a few breaths, it had grown to the size of a one-year-old baby.
He had the typical characteristics of the Ghost Clan. He had a slender body, small sharp claws, and only three short toes on his feet. There was also a matching Ghost Hat on his head that covered his small face. However, there was only a pair of black eyes on his face. The rest of his face was empty, and it was somewhat horrifying.
A ghost in human form!
After this guy came out, he was very curious as he crawled around on the ground. Finally, he used his slender fingers to grab a piece of the ball and placed it on his head.
The small ghost cap immediately lit up with a black light and wrapped around the hard fragment. Soon, it began to melt into the ghost cap. Below, his eyes were squinting as if he was enjoying it. He didn't even have the intention to look at the two people next to him.
"Sir Gu, I have an unsolicited request. It's about this ghost descendant." At this time, Qian Han spoke again.
"Speak!"
Gu Zheng was still looking at this ghost descendant and found that after he swallowed it, his body was still slowly growing.
If he leaves this place, the ghost species will soon know where he is. On our side, we can't hide the aura inside, so please take him away. As long as he leaves this place, you can do whatever you want with him. If you don't want to trouble yourself, that's fine too. I'll kill him now, but I'll be trapped here forever. "Qian Han told Gu Qing Qiu about his situation.
Compared to killing him, it seemed easier, but the imprint would also spread to him. This was the original protection they had to prevent their own clansmen from being killed. This was also the reason why none of the guards died.
With their current strength as a wandering soul, there wasn't a true Human Soul expert. Even though there were quite a few peak Spectral Soul experts, none of them had broken through. This was also why they could only hide like rats and couldn't stand out in the open.
However, even if there was, it wouldn't be much different from what they were now. This was because the strength of a demon soul was too strong.
When Qian Han said that he would kill the other party, the ghost descendant's eyes, which were originally filled with enjoyment, suddenly became filled with fear. He couldn't care less about swallowing the shard and subconsciously distanced himself from Qian Han, hiding in a corner far away.
"If that's the case, I agree to take him away." Gu Zheng shifted his gaze to Qian Han. After thinking carefully, he turned to look at the ghost descendant and observed him carefully before agreeing.
To him, this wasn't much trouble. There was a deeply hidden imprint in the other party's body. It would take a lot of time to get rid of it. He would still have time to get rid of it when he reached the other side. At that time, it wouldn't be a problem to kill the other party.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. I'll definitely make a trip there personally later." Qian Han said to Gu Zheng with a look of gratitude in her eyes.
Seeing that Gu Zheng didn't have anything to say to her, Qian Han stretched out her hand and a vine fell from the hole and landed on her palm. In the next moment, she was pulled up and quickly left along the escape route.
"Blackie, little fellow from the Ghost Clan, come with me."
Gu Zheng walked in front of the ghost descendant and smiled gently.
Although these demon souls weren't as blank as human babies, other than the knowledge they were born with, they also needed to be taught everything else. Some were like the bloodline inheritance of the Goblin. Everything else had to be learned from scratch.
However, they were also very smart and learned everything very quickly.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was coming, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no way to escape, the ghost descendant would have raised its weak claws and bared its teeth at Gu Zheng, threatening him to stay away.
Unfortunately, it was just born and its strength couldn't be compared to a wild beast. This posture was no threat to Gu Zheng at all. However, this posture of the other party was different.
"So ugly!"
Gu Zheng looked at the other party and said regretfully. Then, he grabbed the ghost hat and lifted it up.
This hat seemed to be attached to the other party and couldn't be taken off at all. Thinking about how the elder of the ghost clan was knocked away previously, perhaps he wouldn't be able to take it off before he reached the Zenith Heaven Realm.
"Don't struggle anymore. Behave yourself! Since you're so ugly, I'll call you Blackie. "
Seeing that the other party was using its small claws to scratch Gu Zheng's wrist, Gu Zheng let out a bit of his aura. This made the other party behave like an obedient rabbit. He didn't care if the other party agreed to it and just gave it a name.
After picking up the remaining shards, Gu Zheng wrapped two layers of defense around Blackie's body to prevent it from being unable to withstand the baleful wind and black fog outside. After placing it on his shoulder, he broke through the layer of defense and came out of the valley.
"I'll give you some trouble!"
Looking at the exposed cave halfway up the mountain, Gu Zheng had an idea. He made a few hand seals and the exposed part of the cave was covered by the mountain peak again. This time, it was even more confusing than before. Unless the other party was close enough, they wouldn't be able to discover it.
This way, if they wanted to discover it, they would have to put in more effort.
He believed that the elder of the ghost clan had died here and the few members of the Black Pupil Clan had gone back to report it. The other party wanted to waste some time here. By the time they found the remaining traces, he would have completed his task.
Compared to when he came, Mo Stain, who was following the wild souls, returned much faster.
However, when he returned to the last place he left, the scene in front of him shocked him.
The originally unconscious water demon had woken up and was floating on the Spirit River. Hua Xin, who had healed him, was held in the other party's hand and was used as a hostage. However, the red stone on her body was still there. At least he didn't have to worry about her safety.
"You're finally here. I've been waiting for you here for only one reason. I'll take this painting spirit away first and send it to you safely later." Feeling the pressure from Gu Zheng's body, the fear in the water demon's eyes intensified, especially when the other party didn't have any defensive measures and was able to defend himself against the black fog.
"I've already told you, Yan Ge. How can I have enough soul hearts with my weak cultivation? I've also used up a lot of them previously. They're useless. Let me go!" Hua Xin said unwillingly as she struggled in the other party's hand. However, she couldn't break free from the other party's control.
"Do you think I'll believe what you say? If it weren't for you saving my life and your identity, you would already be dead, "the water demon said coldly. Water Demon Yan Ge said coldly. At the same time, she tightened her grip on Painted Heart, making it even more powerless to struggle.
"Do you believe that I can't do it? Let me go!" When Hua Xin saw Gu Zheng coming over, she struggled violently again. She wanted to create a chance for Gu Zheng to save her.
"Stop moving. If you move again, I'll kill you!" Yan Ge felt the discomfort in her body getting worse. If she continued to struggle, she might really break free. She immediately said with a murderous aura.
"No!" Hua Xin screamed, but her body didn't move. She was afraid that the other party would make a mistake.
"What's going on? Hua Xin, tell me. You gave me something to save my life, but you were captured by the other party? "
Gu Zheng looked at the water demon Yan Ge. He pretended to be murderous, but in reality, he didn't have any killing intent. He asked Hua Xin slowly.
The other party could fool Hua Xin, but he could fool him. This was also the reason why he didn't make a move on the bridge.
