A few days later, in the Fantasy City.
Gu Zheng and Hua Xin walked on the spacious road, aimlessly heading to other places. Looking at the Demonic Souls of various shapes and sizes, they felt a headache as they hurried on their way.
Because the lost development seemed to have gone beyond Gu Zheng's expectations. Under the cover of the lantern, no one could see through his disguise.
The lantern was also hidden in his ear. Ordinary people couldn't see it and wouldn't pay attention to it.
But the Palace City was sealed.
That's right, they could only leave but not enter. This was Wen Tianhou's personal order. If they had come a few days earlier, they might have been able to enter directly. But now, for at least ten years, there wouldn't be any changes.
At the only entrance, two red Ghost Generals stood there, deterring all intruders. Even Hua Xin, who relied on her identity, was thrown out.
And this was because they saw her identity. If others tried to force their way in, they would probably die at their hands.
No matter how unwilling they were, they could only retreat and return to the Fantasy City to find a place to stay temporarily.
But the only thing that made Gu Zheng depressed was that although this was a city, it could also be seen as a big home. Except for the middle section, the rest of the area was the territory of the Fantasy Race. Unrelated people couldn't enter at all.
Furthermore, there was no place to rest outside. There were no shops or anything of the sort, and there was no need for those things here. This made Gu Zheng even more depressed. He might as well stay outside and save himself the two days of travel.
"Forget it. Let's continue to the periphery and see if there's any way in." Gu Zheng walked around. There was really no way. He could only wait and observe carefully to see if he could sneak into the Palace City.
Hua Xin didn't care. After all, they couldn't enter for a short period of time. She wasn't worried at all. But when she turned around and left with Gu Zheng, a familiar figure suddenly appeared from afar. Then, he led a team and hurried to the side. Soon, they disappeared from her peripheral vision.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng felt that Hua Xin didn't move. He turned around and asked.
"I saw an acquaintance. He's heading towards the Fantasy Race's home."
"Oh, can you take us in?" Gu Zheng asked subconsciously.
When the lantern was attached to his body, Xiao Ying's position was faintly discernible in his mind. It was as if there was some powerful interference that made him unable to determine her position.
The only thing he was certain of was that the other party was definitely behind the palace.
It had to be known that the surroundings were all mountain ranges. The palace city was at the end, with the mountain range at the back. Wen Tianhou's residence was also at the back.
According to the importance of the other party, they would definitely lock Little Ying in the safest place.
The Myriad Spirit Portrait could forcefully command all Demonic Souls, regardless of whether they were wild souls or not. Even the Painted Heart's race could not resist its command. After all, it was a treasure that was born with this space.
Although the space was small, it was still reinforced by the laws of the Heavenly Dao. It was also capable of producing innate soul artifacts that could only be used here.
If Xiao Ying also had this ability, then Wen Tianhou wouldn't have been able to take care of her day and night, and wouldn't have left her outside. But at the same time, Xiao Ying's situation was becoming more and more dangerous.
He thought of Zhu Hun, who had kidnapped Xiao Ying. If Zhu Hun were to appear in front of him, he would definitely fight him to the death. However, after coming here, he had deliberately inquired about Zhu Hun, but he hadn't been able to find any information about him.
He didn't know whether it was because the degree of secrecy was too high, or if he was just acting outside.
"I don't know. Maybe it's possible, maybe it's not. After all, his identity is different." Painted Heart hesitated for a moment, but still revealed the other party's identity.
"He's another successor. He's completely opposite to my lady. His personality is also completely different. He's the second successor and has always wanted to pull my lady down. As for the third successor, he made a mistake some time ago and must have been eliminated."
"Then we can try. Follow him and see what he's going to do." Gu Zheng immediately said to Painted Heart when he heard this.
A second successor actually went out instead of staying at home to take care of her. He must have completed some mission. If that was the case, if the other party really wanted to go in, they might be able to.
After all, the palace city couldn't completely seal off the city. Otherwise, some requests for things would be blocked outside, and the losses would be immeasurable. It was just that most things couldn't be entered.
Obviously, with such an important mission, the Painting Soul Clan was very likely to go in.
Gu Zheng immediately urged Painted Heart to follow the other party. He wanted to see what they were doing.
They quickly chased after them. After leaving the main road, they happened to see the other party's team enter a large door.
Behind the team, there was a black cage floating in mid-air. It seemed to be imprisoning someone inside. There were also some Painting Soul experts guarding it. Soon, they disappeared outside.
That was where the Illusory Race's home was. There were a few clansmen guarding outside, which confirmed Gu Zheng's guess.
However, a new problem appeared in front of Gu Zheng. With his identity, he couldn't enter at all. After all, he was only a very low-level Demon Soul. It wasn't that he didn't want to use those famous Demon Souls to hide his identity. The main thing was that if the other party wanted to investigate, they would find out his weakness.
And no one would pay attention to low-level Demon Souls. Those races that used the corners of the Soul Lakes to reproduce themselves would even find some powerful black water to do so. They were strange and unfamiliar so that they wouldn't attract attention.
But with his status, he definitely couldn't enter here. As for sneaking in, that was even more impossible. There were a few auras that were stronger than him inside. Although he couldn't detect them if he didn't deliberately investigate, if he went in, it was very likely that he would be discovered. The risk was too great.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at Painted Heart. With her identity, she could enter here even if she had nothing to do.
"You can't be thinking of letting me in, then bringing you and me into the team and waiting for an opportunity to enter." Painted Heart saw Gu Zheng's gaze and knew what he was thinking.
"Smart. That's it. As long as I enter the palace, you don't have to ask about anything else. When the time comes, I will give you the antidote and restore your freedom." Gu Zheng immediately took out his trump card.
"How is that possible? With your identity, you won't have a chance. Even if you enter, you will be captured. You can't avoid those patrols. Only a few people can be there." Painted Heart glanced at Gu Zheng. Although there were no flaws, his status was so low.
It was like a beggar appearing in the palace. Once he was discovered, there was no other explanation.
"Why don't you change your identity? For example, our Painting Soul Clan, or my subordinate Mirror Soul Clan? If that's the case, it won't be too eye-catching. "Painted Heart said seriously. She seemed to think that as long as Gu Zheng changed his identity, there wouldn't be a problem.
Gu Zheng also felt that it was a good idea. He hadn't thought of this problem before. Because if he followed Painted Heart, as long as others thought that Painted Heart was bringing him along, they wouldn't ask questions. However, he suddenly thought of a question and asked.
"How are those special Goblin Souls here born?"
"Special Goblin Souls? That's hard to say. Some of them undergo a special evolution of their own clan when they are being bred. This type of Goblin Soul is stronger and has greater potential. However, it still can't be separated from their own abilities. But there is another type. Most of them popped out from the outside and have all kinds of strange abilities. They aren't strong or weak, but their abilities aren't weak. All of them are in the hands of the Heavenly King. "
Painted Heart thought carefully for a moment before slowly speaking.
This wasn't a secret. However, the number of special Goblin Souls was too small. They didn't know their abilities. However, in their clan, there was an elder who had undergone a special evolution and was very powerful.
"Then forget it. Let me think about it!" Gu Zheng gave up on this idea and began to think carefully.
"Then I'll become someone from your Painting Soul Clan. However, no matter what, the other party will definitely know that I'm an imposter. How will the other party give up on pursuing me?"
With the other party's status and the small number of people in their clan, even if they didn't know all of them, they would at least have met them once. Suddenly, a complete stranger appeared. Even a fool would know that there was a problem.
"That's simple. If they ask you, then say that you're someone from the Illusion Clan. However, your cultivation will have to be lowered. It's best if you don't get discovered. Then, leave the rest to me. As long as you promise not to pursue my responsibility, I will definitely not expose you. What do you think?" Painted Heart suddenly thought of something and said slyly.
The Illusion Clan had the ability to create illusions. They could almost imitate the abilities of the other party. Of course, that was only limited to the aura of the other party. They were also good at using illusions to confuse the other party. However, their lethality was a little low. This was only compared to the other three clans. However, with this special point, they were also one of the four major clans.
For example, Gu Zheng's Heihei, after growing to a certain extent, as long as it attacked the other party, it would be able to extract the other party's energy from the other party's body to replenish itself. It was worthy of being called the king of close combat.
"Okay, you can visit the other party in a while. During this time, you can tell them about your rules in detail and what to pay attention to." After Gu Zheng heard it, he didn't think much and agreed.
As long as the other party didn't pursue the matter, he would have a stable safe spot inside. It would be easier for him to find Xiao Ying's location. At the very least, he wouldn't have to be on guard against the patrols.
This place wasn't like a city in the human world. People came and went. It could be said that it was a completely sealed military base. It was impossible for outsiders to enter.
No wonder Soul Alliance and Lonely Peak never came here. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to enter without the help of Painted Heart. It seemed that not letting Painted Heart go was an excellent idea.
On this side, Painted Heart was already excitedly explaining to Gu Zheng in detail. After half a day, Gu Zheng grasped everything in his heart. Only then did Painted Heart leave in satisfaction. She walked towards the Illusion Clan. She wanted to see the second successor. First, she wanted to see if the other party could bring them in. If they couldn't, then everything would be for naught.
She said a few simple words to the guards at the door. Soon, they opened the side door and respectfully welcomed her in.
Gu Zheng watched her go in from the outside. Only then did he hide in a secret place and start changing his appearance.
Changing his appearance was very simple. In essence, he still relied on Xiao Ying's weapon to hide his aura. There was almost no other movement. His entire person became a handsome man. On his forehead, there was a cyan imprint that represented his identity and cultivation. At the same time, the small lantern became a decoration and was inserted on his head.
Speaking of which, in the Painting Spirit Race, the status of men could be said to be the lowest. At the same time, their fighting strength was also relatively low. Just like in feudal society, women completely relied on men. The Painting Spirit Race was the same race.
This was because only women could completely grasp the essence of the Painting Spirit Race. No matter what, they were stronger than men. On the other hand, men only had a handsome appearance. Most of the time, they couldn't even condense a picture scroll of their real name. They didn't live up to their status.
In their race, they were usually treated as dispensable existences. Their greatest contribution was that when they prayed, they could offer a portion of their strength. They were also the subordinates of some important figures.
Overall, they had a low sense of existence, which was more in line with Gu Zheng.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng waited quietly outside. His identity was already clear. Although it was a fake, it was still a suitable identity.
In the courtyard of the Illusion Race.
After Meng Lost came out of the house where she was received, she walked to the place arranged for her.
She had just completed a mission outside. After completing it perfectly, she encountered a little accident on the way. After a slight delay, she caught the other party and came back. She conveniently gave the things she brought to the Illusion Race. It was the other party's request at that time. For them, it was a piece of cake.
"Everyone, take a break. Send someone with my warrant to take down our travel permit and let all of us in."
When they came to the place arranged for them, Meng Lost ordered her subordinates.
"Miss Lost, I'll go."
An imposing man stood up from below. With a fawning expression, he walked toward Meng Lost. This kind of errand work, needless to say, was done by them.
"Well, go."
Meng Lost took out his proof and threw it directly into the other party's arms as he lazily said.
After the man took it in a flurry, he ran out.
In the courtyard, the remaining men were also busy. No one was idle at all. The few women stood at the side, as if they were monitoring them.
After hearing Meng Lost's words, they all cheered and thanked Meng Lost. Then, they walked out in pairs.
It was not easy to come out. How could they waste it? They had been cooped up inside all day. Even if they went out for a walk, it was incomparably refreshing.
Soon, only the men were left in this huge courtyard.
Meng Lost smiled and walked into the room specially prepared for her. She was ready to wait for the news. Previously, she had heard that the palace was completely sealed. Otherwise, she would have left directly.
However, not long after she went in, a subordinate came to ask for instructions outside the room.
"Miss Lost, someone outside wants to see you. It's someone from Miss Xin's side, Hua Xin."
There were only so many people in the clan. Basically, they all knew each other. Therefore, Hua Xin's arrival was recognized at a glance. After knowing the other party's intention, she immediately came inside to inform Meng Lost.
"Oh? She's looking for me? Interesting. Let her in. "
Meng Lost did not understand why Hua Xin was looking for her. The two of them were in a state of competition and had not talked for a long time. Hua Xin was Meng Zhen's confidante. She would definitely not seek refuge with her. However, since Hua Xin wanted to see her, she could not refuse. She immediately agreed. She wanted to see what the other party's purpose was.
"Miss Lost, long time no see!"
Hua Xin quickly pushed the door open and entered. She said to Meng Lost casually.
Although Meng Lost's cultivation was high and her status was noble, none of this affected her. After all, the two of them were not in the same place and could not ask her. If it was not for something, her attitude would be even more casual.
"I heard that you went out too. Did you delay coming back until now? Did you go out again for a mission?"
Of course, she knew about Hua Xin's mission. However, according to the time, Hua Xin should have returned long ago. She did not care about Hua Xin's attitude and directly asked.
"No, I have an important mission this time. Otherwise, why would I make a trip for a mere delivery mission? I don't care about this little bit of merit." Hua Xin found a seat and minded her own business.
Although she said that she did not care, her heart was still faintly twitching. Her only mission had failed just like that. However, she would not admit it. Anyway, there were people who knew about the situation over there. She knew nothing and had left long ago. This was the excuse she had prepared long ago.
"Important mission? You came back this time? "Meng Lost's eyes lit up and then asked.
"Yes, but because of this, I wasted a lot of time. When I returned, I found that I was blocked. I was about to contact the others here when I happened to see Miss Lost. So I came to ask about it." Hua Xin said sincerely.
"I see. I can go back. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be a problem to bring you back. However …" Meng Lost stopped talking and looked at Hua Xin. Her meaning was self-evident.
"This mission needs to be kept a secret. I can't tell anyone. Otherwise, Miss will punish me." Hua Xin saw the look on Meng Lost's face and immediately understood. She said with a troubled expression.
"A secret mission is a secret mission. As long as I don't say anything, isn't it still a secret mission? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. As long as you tell me, as long as there aren't many people, I'll bring you back together. Anyway, it will go smoothly."
Meng Lost did not mind. His own people knew him best. There were no secrets in their tribe. However, he knew what Hua Xin meant. Since he would not reject her, he agreed to it first.
"Alright. Actually, it's nothing. I don't know why it needs to be kept a secret." Hua Xin sighed. Then, her face revealed a gossipy expression. She even looked around, as if she was afraid that others would eavesdrop.
"Don't worry. Other than me, there's no one else."
Seeing Hua Xin like this, Meng Lost knew that there was a chance. He immediately moved closer and listened carefully.
"Actually, I went out this time to look for someone from the Illusion Tribe. However, the other party also went out. After a long search, I finally found him. I'm also preparing to bring him back."
Meng Lost watched as Hua Xin began to talk. He knew that this was not the main point. He did not say anything. He only looked at her with an expectant expression.
"Because there was a period of time when my Miss and the other party met and interacted for a period of time. Then, they developed an inexplicable feeling. In the end, because of the sudden separation, when my Miss returned home, she found a chance to let me out."
Hua Xin proudly threw out a heavy bomb. Meng Lost was instantly stunned.
She never thought that it would be for this reason.
