"Roar, roar!"
Weak shouts sounded in the air. The heavily injured Divine Patrol was forced to defend himself under the attacks of Gu Zheng and Xu Ling. However, he couldn't block the storm of attacks at all and could only groan in pain.
Every time he tried to gather power, it was broken by the sharp-eyed Gu Zheng and Xu Ling. In addition, the Black Tower next to him was eyeing him covetously, giving him great pressure. Soon, he was beaten into a coma.
However, when Gu Zheng was about to kill him in one go, the motionless Black Tower blocked in front of him, blocking their next attack.
"What's the meaning of this?"
Gu Zheng asked Xu Ling to stop attacking when he saw this. He knew that the Black Tower must have its own reasons for doing this. After all, the other party wasn't an inanimate object. With the existence of a tool spirit, he naturally knew how to use the Black Tower.
Even though Gu Zheng had studied it for a long time, he still couldn't completely understand the Black Tower's function. He didn't expect it to have such an amazing function.
Speaking of which, Gu Zheng only had the right to use the Black Tower, only a part of it. He didn't have the right to own the Black Tower. He could only find the core and refine it. However, he felt that the Black Tower itself was already someone else's, and the other party's place was related to Yan Yufei. He probably didn't have much chance.
The Black Tower shook slightly, and then a black light emerged from the bottom, directly covering the Divine Patrol below. Soon, he turned into a stream of light and was absorbed into the tower. The Black Tower returned to Gu Zheng's hand again.
Gu Zheng immersed his mind into the Black Tower and found that the bottom floor was originally the place where Gu Zheng first fought for the Black Tower. He didn't know when, but altar-like structures had appeared there.
The whole body was golden, as if it was carved out of large golden jade. There were circles of green light around it. It was the green jade that Gu Zheng saw before, inlaid in some pattern.
Counting carefully, there were actually dozens of them.
Right now, the one at the front had a Divine Patrol lying in the middle. Slender green lines were connected to his body from all parts of his body. Above the altar, a faint golden barrier rose up, and rays of golden light that resembled snowflakes continuously appeared from within.
The Divine Patrol, who had originally had an expression of pain, now had an expression of enjoyment, as if he was a baby that had returned to his mother's arms, lying there peacefully. However, he did not know that those green threads were currently extracting the power in his body, using it as the power of the Black Tower.
"I didn't expect to meet people from that side here."
Just as Gu Zheng was checking, a voice rang out in his mind.
"Oh? Who are they? "Gu Zheng asked again.
"They belong to a group of strange life forms that were born by chance. If they obediently stayed in their world, everything would be fine. However, they wanted to rush out. That's why my group of people suppressed them to prevent them from going out and wreaking havoc in the world. My previous mission was to guard the entrance and suppress them until they came out."
The Black Tower did not hide anything, and told Gu Zheng some simple information about him.
"Then, is that person of Yan Yufei still alive over there?" Gu Zheng continued to ask.
"No comment. Before you understand, I cannot open my mouth to tell you. If you go over there, you will naturally understand everything." The Black Tower decisively refused.
He would not say what he should not say.
"However, these people, I can use them to replenish myself. If possible, you can capture a few more, and I will slowly extract them." The Black Tower still requested.
Although compared to the total amount, the other party could not provide much by himself, he could still replenish quite a bit. For him, the more, the better.
This was also what Gu Zheng was thinking. If the Black Tower was stronger, then for him, it would be more beneficial. Who knew when it would be able to help him, so he directly agreed.
As for more information about the other party, he did not ask the Black Tower. After all, the Soul Painting Race was a part of the other party, and there were more monsters in the air. He could just ask them. There was no need to waste time at this time.
The only thing that Gu Zheng had a question was whether the Black Tower could help him deal with the other party. He directly asked this question.
"Of course. The meaning of my existence is to deal with the other party. As long as it is not a large-scale expert, or a monster expert that I cannot defeat in the air, I can help you with everything else. However, I want to use the other party's body to recover myself. In fact, I can even help you with those Demonic Souls, as long as you do not forget what you promised me." The Black Tower immediately agreed.
Gu Zheng was overjoyed. Hearing the Black Tower's tone, under normal circumstances, he had absolute protection. Even if he was deep in enemy territory, he did not have to worry, except for Wen Tianhou.
However, he knew that since he wanted the other party to help, he naturally had to fulfill his promise. Although the Black Tower could not devour him, if it made trouble, he did not have the power to resist. He did not think of not abiding by the rules. As long as he agreed, there would naturally be a reason for it.
However, his goal was similar to Yan Yufei's. Even if the other party did not say it, he would still go. It could be said that he did not have to make a special trip. He could even use the Black Tower's senses to find that place faster.
For him, there were only benefits and no disadvantages.
The only thing he was dissatisfied with was that these things were actually hidden by it before. If it were not for this time, perhaps it would have kept a low profile.
A message came from the Black Tower. It was a new way of using the Black Tower. In this way, the Black Tower did not have to be passive, and Gu Zheng could take the initiative.
After all, no matter what, the Black Tower was a treasure without a core. Even if the tool spirit used it, it would not be as easy as Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng withdrew his consciousness and raised his head at the Xu Ling who was guarding him. The two immediately flew into the sky again and flew directly into the distance.
When they landed on the Seventh Elder's side, only Gu Zheng was left. The Xu Ling had already been sent by him as a trump card. Naturally, he could not show himself. At the same time, he told the recuperating Yan Yufei this good news. The latter was very happy and was very grateful to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng's arrival was, of course, immediately discovered by the Seventh Elder and the Divine Patrol. Although there were some traces of battle on Gu Zheng's body, overall, there was not much of a problem. However, the enemy who followed him was nowhere to be seen.
"You dealt with the enemy?"
The Seventh Elder asked in disbelief when he felt that there was no other aura behind Gu Zheng.
Not only him, but even the Divine Patrol could not believe it. Originally, according to their estimation, the two of them should have no problem dealing with the Seventh Elder. However, what he needed to do was to hold on as long as possible and wait for his companions to deal with the enemy.
In fact, the monster in the air was not wrong. Even now, he had not suffered much damage and had retained his full combat strength. With more defense than offense, even if the Seventh Elder wanted to finish him off, it would not be that easy.
However, he never expected that only Gu Zheng was left now. Moreover, the enemy had not appeared for a long time. The result was self-evident.
Gu Zheng nodded and then said directly, "Seventh Elder, we don't have so much time to waste on the enemy. From the looks of it, the enemy already knows that we are coming. In other words, Meng Zhen has been taken away by the enemy. Let me help you."
He knew that if he made a move, the enemy would also recognize the Black Tower. However, the two did not have any conflict at all. Moreover, the enemy did not want to stay there. The two could even be said to have something in common.
The Seventh Elder knew that Gu Zheng was right. He also had his own doubts. With the enemy's strength, he had been extremely worried that he would not be able to hold on for long. At that time, even if he saved Meng Zhen, he would not be able to answer to him.
A fluorescent light appeared in the Seventh Elder's hand and a silver light flashed. Then, the surrounding space was clearly compressed to prevent the Divine Patrol from escaping.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng did not hesitate. He waved his hand and a spinning Black Tower quickly appeared in his hand. Then, under his control, it spun and flew towards the Divine Patrol.
At this time, the Black Tower did not have any aura. It was like a model without any sense of existence. However, the moment it appeared, whether it was the Seventh Elder or the Divine Patrol, both of them had the same reaction. They looked at the Black Tower with fear and instantly retreated.
It was as if they had seen something that made their hearts tremble.
However, the Divine Patrol, who was noticed by the Black Tower, did not retreat more than a few steps before he was enveloped by the Black Tower. A black light emerged from below and completely enveloped the Divine Patrol. Then, a huge suction force came from above.
"You can't catch me!"
The Divine Patrol roared. The black flag in his hand fell from above and was directly held above his head to resist the black light, allowing his body to stand firmly on the ground.
"Seventh Elder, help me!" Gu Zheng felt the magic power in his body flowing away like a waterfall. He hurriedly shouted at the Seventh Elder.
The Divine Patrol was in such a good state now. If he wanted to forcefully pull him in, there would be a lot of monsters in the air. If the Divine Patrol's strength was weak, the resistance would be weaker and the consumption would be lower.
When the Seventh Elder heard Gu Zheng's shout, he hesitated for a moment. Then, he rushed up again and directly sent a palm strike towards the Divine Patrol. The Divine Patrol, who was originally resisting, had a palm strike appear behind him as well, causing his body to begin to sway.
Then, the Seventh Elder continuously attacked from the outside. The Divine Patrol, who was resisting with all his strength, did not have any energy to resist. Soon, he could not hold on any longer and spat out mouthfuls of blood. Finally, under his unwilling gaze, he was sucked into the Black Tower.
Then, Gu Zheng returned his consciousness to the Black Tower. At this time, the Divine Patrol had already landed in the plaza of the first floor. His cultivation was also sealed to the Heavenly Immortal level. He was somewhat fearful of the crazy attacks and wanted to escape.
However, as one ghost after another pounced out, under the Divine Patrol's powerless resistance, they completely captured him and pressed him into a teleportation point in the room. Together with a few other ghosts, they came down.
Soon, the ghosts carried the struggling Divine Patrol and pressed him onto the altar again. Especially when they sensed their companions beside them, they struggled even more fiercely. However, they could not break free. Landing here, whether they lived or died was no longer up to them.
As the green light flickered, green lines appeared from below and directly bound his body. Only then did the ghosts return, leaving behind the altar that was shining with golden light.
After a while, the Divine Patrol also showed a look of enjoyment and began to use himself as a sacrifice.
Only at this time did Gu Zheng let out a sigh of relief. Feeling the magic power in his body, he was a bit speechless. The consumption was too great, almost half of it. And this was with the help of the Seventh Elder. Otherwise, there would be no chance at all.
However, it was all worth it. Not only could he provide energy for the Black Tower, he also successfully got rid of a powerful enemy. He did not have to fight desperately, nor did he have to be on guard against the enemy's last move before death.
The only pity was that against powerful enemies, he could only deal with them one by one. As for weak enemies, he could deal with them without taking them out. The biggest advantage was that against enemies of the same level, it was a trump card.
As long as he faced them head-on, it was practically an invincible existence.
However, the only drawback was that after activating it, his own speed would be greatly reduced, and he would need to focus on controlling the Black Tower. Moreover, the Black Tower itself was not very fast. If the enemy was on guard, it would be very easy to dodge. However, once it hit, its power was about the same as the Immortal Slaying Gourd, basically a sure-kill.
Having such power already made him very satisfied.
After putting away the Black Tower again, the Seventh Elder had already walked over with a complicated expression. Then, he asked Gu Zheng.
"You're from that side?"
Gu Zheng roughly knew which place the Seventh Elder was referring to, but he knew that he was not from that side at all. Naturally, he would not admit it.
Gu Zheng organized his words slightly, and then said to the Seventh Elder, "I only got this thing by chance. Meng Zhen knows the details. I'm not from that side, and this thing is a clone. If it was the real thing, I'm afraid I could deal with it alone."
At the same time, he gave the Black Tower to the Seventh Elder and indicated for him to check it.
The Seventh Elder naturally did not take it. Thinking of Meng Zhen, he was slightly relieved.
Meng Zhen and the others naturally knew everything about their clan, and were also cooperating with them. Since they did not say anything, there naturally would not be any big problems.
As for the clone of the Black Tower, it naturally had a part of the Black Tower's power, but in reality, compared to the Black Tower, its power was far from enough. At most, it could be used to deter.
Thinking about how Gu Zheng had also needed her help to severely injure the Divine Patrol before barely managing to suck him into the Black Tower, she agreed with this statement. Otherwise, with just the might of the Black Tower alone, she probably wouldn't even need to help to deal with the Divine Patrol.
"Alright, since the other party has been dealt with, let's hurry over there and rescue the other elder first. Now that we have this thing of yours, it will be much easier for us."
Thinking of this, the Seventh Elder also took a deep breath and said as if relieved of a heavy burden.
"The other elder? A few of our elders were captured by the other party. "
When Gu Zheng saw the Seventh Elder moving, he followed him and flew towards the direction where the green pillar had first appeared. He asked as soon as he got up.
"Not counting me and the Second Elder, at least three elders were captured by the other party. They were used to indirectly stabilize the space and at the same time deplete their strength. Those two Divine Patrol are the guards who usually watch over the other party. I alone am not a match for them, or else I would have rescued them alone. However, I remember that the last time was not here. Perhaps something happened," the Seventh Elder said directly.
If he knew that there was a Divine Patrol here, he would not have rushed in with Gu Zheng without any concealment and ended up being ambushed by the other party.
Originally, he wanted her to delay the other party while Gu Zheng went to rescue the elders, and then turn the tables to kill the other party.
"Oh, that means that there are similar people hiding among you outside. Why haven't you discovered them after so many years?" Gu Zheng was also very curious.
"Because we don't usually fight, and we can go out and find a hidden place to go into seclusion. As long as the other party is careful, we might not be exposed even after ten thousand years." The Seventh Elder smiled bitterly.
They were more undisciplined, and they were familiar with the monsters in the air. Unless necessary, they rarely communicated.
"Then after you go out, are you going to fall out with the other party?"
Thinking of Wen Tianhou, Gu Zheng knew that this place must have something to do with the other party. He did not know what they thought of this matter.
"It's impossible to fall out with the other party, but we will find a way to leave that place and find a new place. We can't do anything to him, and the other party can't do anything to us." The Seventh Elder simply expressed her opinion.
To them, it was not worth it to fight to the death with Wen Tianhou. The most important thing now was to reestablish the connection between the two parties and tell the patriarch about what happened here. At the same time, they could also heal the patriarch's clone. Otherwise, the other party would never be able to come over.
"Oh right, can you tell me in detail about the people who captured Meng Zhen? Are they that strong? They even need the outside world to suppress them. They haven't been completely wiped out. "Gu Zheng changed the topic and wanted to find out more about the other side.
They were not slow, but they still needed some time to get to the other side. It was a good time to find out more.
"What about the other side? How should I put it? At first, we thought that it was a new life for us, but in reality, we found that it was our shackles. It's a world that makes people despair. It's even more despairing than here. "
The Seventh Elder sighed and turned to look at Gu Zheng curiously. Under the other party's appearance, she felt like they were hallucinating. In the end, she still spoke.
She was the seventh elder to come here. Her strength was not bad, but there were many elders who were stronger than her on the other side. It was just that they could not pass this place in the early stages. Anyway, no one cared about the title. They were all doing it for the tribe. The title did not mean anything.
"The place we are in is an eternally red world. It's like the afterglow of the setting sun. The entire world is filled with the aura of death, but it's not desolate. We are just strong passersby there. Although we have the aura of that world, we can't integrate into it at all."
"One small world after another has been completely connected by the efforts of this group of people. The scenery of each world is different. There are all sorts of abandoned tribes that were left behind. Everything was originally harmonious. In the end, after they were abandoned, there were huge changes."
"The worlds that were severely damaged were like doomsday. There was no order at all. Some monsters that were born for unknown reasons filled the worlds. Some of them even killed the abandoned tribes in the worlds and took over the worlds."
"Those worlds that were less damaged also wanted to leave this hopeless world. They did not want to die together with this place. They even wanted to stop the attacks from the worlds below to prevent the other side from taking over their worlds."
"After the previous owner died, the entrance that he opened gave them a glimmer of hope. Up until now, all the worlds have joined together to break out of this hell of despair and win a chance of survival for everyone."
