"Do you think we can let them in?"
Although the Black Tower was under Gu Zheng's control, he still had to ask the spirit of the Black Tower. They were originally enemies. If they did something inside, he wouldn't be able to control them.
The Black Tower was silent and didn't answer immediately. Gu Zheng didn't know whether they agreed or not. In short, Gu Zheng wasn't sure.
After all, this was the Black Tower's secret. It hadn't been leaked out until now. It could be seen how strict it was. If the other party knew about it and spread it, it might cause immeasurable losses to the Black Tower.
"Forget it, I know this request is a bit too much."
Gu Zheng was still thinking. In fact, he was waiting for the Black Tower's opinion. The Fourteenth Elder next to him said embarrassedly. After all, she also knew that this request was a bit presumptuous. She also knew how to behave, but she couldn't help but try. At least they wouldn't think about it.
"Of course, this is nothing. Anyway, you won't go there. As long as you promise me that you won't pass it to your Soul Painting Clan, you can still go in," Gu Zheng said quickly when he saw that the other party was about to leave.
The Black Tower had already agreed. After all, the most important thing inside wasn't the scene, but the special functions inside. As long as the other party didn't go to the altar and the stone room, everything else would be put away temporarily. At most, the other party could look at the scenery.
In fact, as the most basic ability, the other party definitely knew.
"Really?" Seeing Gu Zheng agree, the Fourteenth Sister was a bit doubtful. Her eyes were wide open. After seeing Gu Zheng nod, she was happy like a child and directly jumped up. Then she turned her head to look at the two sisters and said happily.
"Look? Sister, the other party isn't as stingy as you think. After I come out, I will tell you everything inside. You don't have to envy me. "
"Of course, we will wait for you outside."
"Actually, I was the one who suggested it first."
Needless to say, the Ninth Elder and the Seventh Elder's eyes were full of envy, especially the Ninth Elder. She was the one who suggested it first.
Gu Zheng shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter if it's one person or three people. If you want, you can go in together. It's not a bad idea for me to show you around. It's just that this is just a clone after all. There are still many differences between it and the original body. Every clone is different. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed!"
He kept them in suspense by telling them that it was a split body. This way, he could reduce the risk as much as possible.
"Great! I knew it! I've been wanting to know what's inside for a long time. Even if it's just a split body, I'll be satisfied. I can't wait any longer!" The Ninth Elder said excitedly as he rushed to Gu Zheng's side.
"If I have the honor, I would also like to see if such a magical place is as scary as the legends say!" The Seventh Elder also let go of his reservations and slowly walked over.
"No problem, but we have to leave a message. If Second Elder and the others come in, they will know about our situation. This is just a precaution, in case they get anxious." Gu Zheng suggested.
Even if they came out, Second Elder wouldn't come over. However, they still had to leave a message. Otherwise, if Second Elder really came, it would be very troublesome.
"That's easy. I'll do it!" The Fourteenth Elder agreed and quickly formed a seal with his hands. Soon, a transparent water droplet the size of a fist was left floating in the air, emitting a faint light. In this small stone house, it was very conspicuous.
Under the control of the Fourteenth Sister, this water droplet quickly moved to the door. As long as they came in, they would be able to see this water droplet and get the message that the Fourteenth Elder left behind.
"Alright, let's go."
Gu Zheng saw the Fourteenth Sister's strange gaze. It was as if he had a candy in his hand and she was a three-year-old girl looking at him eagerly, waiting for him to give her the candy. This thought flashed through his mind. She wasn't a little girl, so he quickly said.
The three of them were staring at him, so the pressure was also very great.
"Relax your bodies. I'll guide you in."
Gu Zheng said to them as he took out the Black Tower again and placed it in an inconspicuous place.
After seeing them do as he said, he controlled the Black Tower to emit three rays of light and guided them to their bodies. They didn't resist at all and were easily sucked in.
"For the sake of their own curiosity, they would even give up their lives. What can I say about this?"
Gu Zheng looked at the Black Tower speechlessly. They had entered the Black Tower. Even if each of them was very powerful, if he really had any bad intentions, they probably wouldn't be able to come out.
However, he wouldn't do that. With a leap, he also entered the Black Tower.
At this moment, inside the Black Tower, the three of them had appeared outside a simple and unadorned room. They stood in the empty plaza and looked around in a somewhat dumbfounded manner. If it were not for the fact that they had entered the Black Tower, they would have thought that they had arrived in the middle of a mountain village. More importantly, the surroundings were completely empty. There was nothing at all, and the sky was completely white. They had the misconception that they had been tricked.
"Is this inside the Black Tower?" The Ninth Elder was the first to speak. His face was full of disappointment. He didn't expect it to be so ordinary.
"It should be. I don't know, either," the Fourteenth Elder muttered.
The Seventh Elder didn't know what to say, but he felt extremely disappointed. The unusually mysterious Black Tower was so simple. Even if it was just a split, it shouldn't be so simple.
"Wait, Gu Zheng comes in. Perhaps this is only the surface."
The Seventh Elder's words made everyone perk up and look around. Just at this moment, Gu Zheng also came in from outside, immediately attracting the attention of the three.
"Alright, don't be disappointed. I'll introduce this place to you one by one. Please don't release your aura to avoid triggering a counterattack. After all, I haven't grasped it for long and only know some simple functions." Gu Zheng saw everyone's expression and naturally knew why their gazes were so strange.
At this moment, other than the stone room, basically all the defenses in the Black Tower were closed. However, if they moved, he couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't trigger some other situation, so it was better to tell them about it first.
"Of course I understand. I knew this place wouldn't be so simple. Then let's go quickly, don't waste too much time." The Ninth Elder immediately nodded and urged Gu Zheng.
One had to know that they had already been here for a long time. According to the First Elder's estimation, the situation outside should have been more or less settled, and they could come in at any time.
"Alright, follow closely."
Gu Zheng didn't waste time talking nonsense and directly led them into the red house.
From the outside, this house didn't look impressive at all. Its size couldn't even be compared to Meng Zhen's courtyard. However, only Gu Zheng knew the mystery inside.
After walking through the larger entrance, the scene in front of them changed. Looking in from the outside, through the few windows, there was nothing inside. However, once they entered, it immediately became a very elegant room. Outside the wooden windows, there was even a bit of sunlight seeping in, filling the whole house with the smell of sunshine.
"It's really not bad, very quiet. I didn't expect there to be another world inside."
As Gu Zheng walked around, he saw that although the surroundings were monotonous, there was some exquisite furniture that wasn't missing. It was more like a house where many people gathered.
"Of course, this is just one area. There are all kinds of other scenes. Take a look."
Since they had already entered, there was no need to hide such a simple change in appearance. As Gu Zheng spoke, he began to change the place.
Almost in the blink of an eye, all the monsters in the air seemed to have arrived at a dark dungeon. It was pitch black all around, and there was a bone-chilling sound of water dripping in the distance, as if a nightmare was whispering in one's ears.
In the next moment, the dungeon disappeared and changed into earthy yellow walls. It was like a maze that constantly spread in all directions. On some of the walls, there were flickering traps with cold light. They were quite powerful.
There were many changes, and Gu Zheng naturally didn't show them all. After satisfying them a little and understanding a little, Gu Zheng once again led them into a room emitting golden light and arrived at the peak of a mountain.
There were many strange stones, and the mountain peak was undulating. Under the illumination of the candlelight, there was a sparkling stream, a faintly discernible pavilion, and a house hidden in the mountain peak. If it wasn't for the pitch-black surroundings, perhaps people would have the impulse to live in seclusion here.
Gu Zheng couldn't do anything to this mountain peak. In fact, he didn't really understand what was going on here, but he introduced what he thought was the truth.
"This is a place to rest, and it's very peaceful. It's not bad for cultivation or breakthroughs. More importantly, there won't be any disturbances." Gu Zheng said without blushing. In any case, who would know what was going on here?
"It really is a good scenery. What's even more unexpected is that this place is divided into several levels. In fact, when I saw the Demon Tower, I should have thought of it." The Ninth Elder looked down greedily, as if admiring the incomparably beautiful scenery.
Even the Seventh Elder and the Fourteenth Elder were the same. Such a simple place was something they normally wouldn't be able to see. Although they could admire it, they knew in their hearts that it was fake. No matter how beautiful it was, it was still fake.
Gu Zheng simply accompanied them from the peak to the bottom, and then walked over from the other side, letting them enjoy themselves.
Then, they left this place again with unsatisfied expressions. The scene changed, and this time, they appeared on a ship.
"There's actually a ship and a lake here. How shocking."
On the huge red ship, the Seventh Elder raised her eyebrows and said with a bit of surprise.
She wasn't very sure how big this ship was, but she couldn't see the end of it. In the distance, the undulating sea water didn't shake at all.
"The size isn't fixed. It can be ten times bigger or smaller than an ordinary ship. There won't be any problems," Gu Zheng said from the side.
He could control this ship, but under normal circumstances, it didn't seem to be useful. He didn't know what the purpose of its existence was. He could only say that perhaps he would only know when he used it.
"Then can we go in and take a look? If it's inconvenient, then forget it, "the Fourteenth Elder said from the side.
"It's not inconvenient, but there's nothing else here. It's just a relatively luxurious cruise ship."
As Gu Zheng spoke, he led them in from the front. As for whether or not they understood, he wasn't responsible. After all, he had just observed this place, and it was simply beyond his expectations.
After entering, the dark and bloody scene from before was swept away, and there were even many more things in it.
There were exquisite rooms, luxurious living rooms, exquisite dishes, and high-class furniture. It was as if they had really come to a cruise ship, but there were no equally handsome attendants beside them.
Gu Zheng didn't know why this place had become like this. Although the decorations weren't as gorgeous as in the future, it was enough to shock people. Even if these were all illusions, it was still an eye-opener for the three elders.
They had never seen such a luxurious ship before. Even the layout of the courtyard was designed by others. They only helped a little from the side. Seeing this, they felt around and looked around. After half a day, they proposed to leave this place.
The next stop was also the final destination, which was the lonely peak.
This time, it didn't give them any sense of novelty. Although this place was majestic and magnificent, they had seen more shocking places outside. For them, these novelty things didn't interest them.
Therefore, after taking a cursory look, Gu Zheng was prepared to bring them out of this place to satisfy their curiosity. At this moment, the Seventh Elder suddenly spoke.
"Where is the Patrol God that you sucked in? Is it convenient for you to take a look?"
Facing the Seventh Elder's question, Gu Zheng thought for a moment and agreed. However, he still carefully warned.
"That's not a problem, but you can't go inside. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to save you. I will open up an area for you and let you see some of the places from outside. That's all we can do."
"Of course we know what to do. Let's go over quickly," Elder Jiu urged loudly after Gu Zheng finished speaking.
As the scene changed again, this time they were in mid-air. There was a small stone house below.
At this time, the entire stone house was much bigger than before. Looking from the outside, the bloodstains had all disappeared. At a glance, it was just an ordinary stone house. No one would have thought that there was a world inside.
However, just being inside the Black Tower made people unable to underestimate it.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and swiped downwards. In the sky above the stone house, a large amount of light suddenly appeared. As the light stabilized, the scene inside appeared. It was the lone Patrol God. He didn't want him to see Xia Xi's situation.
In the image, the Patrol God was carefully walking through the complicated waterways. Suddenly, he saw a room without a door. He was delighted and quickened his pace.
Although he quickened his pace, under the restriction of the water flow, it was still relatively slow. When he walked inside, he was even more delighted because the supplies here were more than he expected. He quickly went forward and collected them one by one. This made him feel that the effort to come here was worth it.
Although there were relatively more dangers below, the rewards were also great. Even if there were pursuers now, it was worth it.
"Hua hua."
The water flow in the distance suddenly sounded. It sounded like something was rushing over here. The Patrol God's expression changed. He quickly put away the last item in his hand. Then, he took out a small mirror. Before the owner of the sound arrived, a white light had already risen. When a thousand-eyed meatball arrived, it had already disappeared.
The image was also covered by the white light. When the white light faded, the Patrol God's figure had already appeared in a room. On the wall of this room, there was actually a black array. Inside it, there seemed to be a closed eye. This made the Patrol God even more delighted. He went forward and directly pressed his palm on it.
As the eye was reactivated, the black array beside it also began to operate again. A black gas came out from the side, revealing the terrain here. The black light that sealed this place had already been removed. The Patrol God didn't hesitate and left again.
"What's the use of trapping the enemy inside?" the Seventh Elder suddenly asked.
"If the Black Tower needs it, it can kill the enemy and absorb their power."
Gu Zheng didn't hide this point. After all, there was no need to hide the Black Tower's function. The outside world was actually a monster in the air.
"It's not bad. This time, I've learned something. Since we've seen it, let's leave." the Seventh Elder turned to the other two elders and said.
"Alright."
Although he hadn't seen enough, the Fourteenth Elder still said.
The Seventh Elder and Ninth Elder at the side nodded in tacit understanding. They seemed to have confirmed something.
Hearing that the other party wanted to leave, Gu Zheng didn't care. He told everyone to get ready and sent the other party out.
"Thank you. This time, everyone will be envious of us. After all, we are also one of the few people who came out of the Devil Tower."
In the small stone room outside, the Ninth Elder said excitedly as soon as he came out.
Gu Zheng could only smile in his heart. After all, he didn't think much of it. Previously, he had narrowly escaped death and still came out of the Black Tower.
"That's right. I didn't expect it to be so good. It's not inferior to our picture scroll at all," the Fourteenth Elder said affirmatively.
"It's much better than us. At least we can trap and kill people at most. Many can do this. However, when it comes to absorbing power, it's almost impossible. As expected of the Devil Tower that terrifies people!"
Coincidentally, when they were still discussing, an unfamiliar member of the Soul Painting Tribe walked in from outside. He told them that everything outside was settled. The Second Elder asked them to quickly gather and discuss the next strategy.
The four of them immediately left. However, on the way, Gu Zheng directly asked them to leave. Of course, he didn't want to leave this place. He wanted to return to Meng Zhen's place first. After all, the contents of the discussion were taboo. Even if they didn't avoid him, he still had to avoid some taboos.
He wanted to go back first and see what happened to Xiao Mao. She seemed to have completely recovered, but her body was still injured. The speed of recovery was very slow. If she recovered naturally, who knew how long it would take for her to recover.
He still needed his help to save Xiao Ying.
