"Nineteen Elder, we meet again."
The Prime Minister stood in front of her and chuckled, but his eyes were looking behind him.
Anyone could fake it, but the Nineteen Elder couldn't. After all, she still needed to bless. Other than her, no one else would have the characteristics of the Painting Soul Clan. Obviously, the Nineteen Elder wasn't from the Painting Soul Clan.
"What do you mean by this? This matter has been decided a hundred years ago. However, there are some problems in my clan. This time, I will be the one to go. Do you have any objections? "The Nineteen Elder snorted coldly. She didn't give the Prime Minister a good look.
"Of course, I don't dare to stop the Heavenly King. However, you should know why I am here." The Prime Minister didn't care about her expression and said meaningfully.
"How would I know? However, we are pressed for time. If you have any means, just use it. Don't delay us." The Fourteenth Elder wouldn't admit that Gu Zheng was in her team. She knew it very well, so she wouldn't reveal any flaws.
"Elder, you are straightforward. As expected of the Painting Soul Clan. I will be frank. As long as you let us check, you will naturally let us go." The Prime Minister felt that this unreasonable elder was a good person. At least, she didn't pester him endlessly. Therefore, he said straightforwardly.
Although he would be forced to stay if he pestered her endlessly, it would damage the relationship between the two. Moreover, it would waste too much time. More importantly, he wasn't sure if that damn thief was in the team.
At the last moment, he knew that the thief was hiding in a special space. However, the thief had washed away the traces on his body and he couldn't investigate further. Now, he wasn't sure if the thief was taking advantage of the team that left recently or had been hiding in the Painting Soul Residence.
Even if he went in now, he might not be able to find the thief. At least, the Heavenly King had to come. However, he knew that the Heavenly King was doing something very important and obviously didn't have the time.
As for the team that came out, the thief might not take the risk. As long as he stayed hidden, there would be a better opportunity sooner or later. After all, the Palace City couldn't be sealed forever.
However, no matter what the situation was, he had to stay here until the Palace City was unsealed. Then, he had to leave this place. He couldn't go through such a complicated inspection.
"Come on. Tell me what you want to do first. However, if you deliberately look for trouble, don't blame me." The Fourteenth Elder said with a threatening tone.
"Don't worry. Fourteenth Elder, please take out your painting scroll …" Master Cheng naturally knew what was going on.
"You're courting death. If the painting is there, you'll live. If the painting is lost, you'll die. Could it be that you want to challenge us?" When the fourteenth elder heard what the other party said, he was furious. He shouted angrily and interrupted the other party.
Actually, she knew in her heart that the other party would definitely not force her to hand it over. She was only using the other party's unfinished sentence to regain some face. Otherwise, it would be the Soul Painter Clan that would lose face. However, even if there was nothing, she still had to find something.
Lord Cheng naturally knew what the other party was thinking, so he wasn't angry at all. If he was angry at this point, the other party would continue to pick on him. If he couldn't take it, he wouldn't fall out with the other party. That was obviously impossible. The other party's cultivation was much lower than his, and he usually looked down on the other party. But now, he had to endure it. Even if he wanted to cut the other party into pieces, he still had to continue speaking.
"I wouldn't dare to do that. Fourteenth Elder, please calm down. I just want you to stand here and check it. I won't cause any trouble for you. After all, I'm not a monster in the air."
"Alright. Where should I stand?" The fourteenth elder also knew that he couldn't pursue the matter too much, so he agreed directly.
"Here. Just wait for half a cup of tea's time. You just have to stand still. This is something left behind by the Heavenly King. Don't worry. There won't be any danger."
Lord Cheng pointed to the side. There was a stone slab that was the size of an ordinary table. It was placed on the ground inconspicuously. A set of slightly bright black Dharma Formation was operating slowly. If he didn't point it out, no one would have noticed it.
The fourteenth elder immediately walked over and stood on it. Only then did she take out her painting scroll. She knew the other party's purpose. She directly spread out her painting scroll and let it float in front of her chest.
Firstly, he wanted to check if there were any enemies in her painting scroll. Secondly, he wanted to take the opportunity to check his companions. She couldn't disturb his work here.
"Fortunately, he didn't agree to hide inside. Otherwise, he would definitely be exposed this time." The nineteenth elder thought to herself.
She didn't know why the seventh elder didn't agree to this plan. She thought that it was because he had expected this result. In fact, other than them, only the first elder knew that Gu Zheng had the black tower. The other elders didn't know about it. It was mainly to protect Gu Zheng.
"Buzz!"
After Lord Cheng activated the Dharma Formation, a black pillar of light rose from the Dharma Formation and enveloped the nineteenth elder. At the same time, it also shielded her. At this moment, she could only hope that the seventh elder's secret technique had a miraculous effect. Otherwise, it would be awkward if they were discovered.
After Lord Cheng started checking the nineteenth elder, he directly walked over to the quiet group.
"Are you going to come out on your own? Or let me drag you out? If you come out now, you won't have to suffer so much. "
The Deputy Prime Minister said as he slowly approached the group while observing them with his single eye.
However, there was no movement in this small group at all. It was as if they didn't hear him. He was mentally prepared for this. Even if the other party was here, they wouldn't be exposed so easily.
First of all, Lord Cheng walked next to the male drawing soul at the front and looked at him carefully. The latter only looked at the nineteenth elder and didn't pay attention to the person in front of him at all.
Lord Cheng didn't care. His one eye suddenly stopped moving. A red light was emitted from it and enveloped the drawing soul from head to toe.
Although the male drawing soul felt a faint pain in his body, he didn't say anything. He just turned his head to look at Lord Cheng, wanting to see what he was doing.
Although Lord Cheng's eyes didn't move, his body started to spin at the side so that the red light was always shining on his body. He really didn't have any blind spots.
After more than ten breaths of time, he spun around four or five times. Then, the red light in his eyes suddenly shrunk and retracted.
"You're not, so don't worry." Lord Cheng walked to the side of the drawing soul and patted him on the shoulder gently.
Even if the latter subconsciously wanted to shrink back, he couldn't avoid it and was patted on the shoulder. However, even so, he didn't care about the other party. Instead, he glared at the other party.
Lord Cheng didn't care and slowly walked to the side of the four female Mirror Demons. However, they didn't have a temper like the male drawing soul. Instead, they stood on the spot obediently and allowed the red light to sweep back and forth on their bodies. Even when the other party's palm swept past their shoulders, arms, and even the top of their heads, they didn't resist at all.
They acted as if they were puppets that the other party could manipulate and didn't care if the other party took advantage of them. If it were other people, they would have started a fierce fight before they even came here.
Soon, the four female Mirror Demons were checked. Although he checked the four of them, he didn't check as carefully as he checked the male Mirror Demons. After all, he knew the other party's identity. They were definitely not female. If they really wanted to become female Mirror Demons, there would be too many flaws. Therefore, the focus was on the male drawing in front and the two male Mirror Demons behind.
Gu Zheng also knew that the other party was the opposite. When he saw the other party walking towards him, he didn't panic and continued to disguise himself. Since the Seventh Elder took such a long time to make a move, he was absolutely confident that he could fool the other party.
Lord Cheng walked beside Gu Zheng at a steady pace. The red light still enveloped Gu Zheng's body first, making him feel as if the other party could see through him from the inside out. It was also as if the other party's attack was going to land on him at any moment. He couldn't help but want to resist.
Such a strange feeling made Gu Zheng very uncomfortable, but he still didn't move at all. He allowed the other party to scan him back and forth. When the other party's palm gently swept across the lens on his body, rays of light constantly shone from the lens. He even felt that the other party was gently pinching the lens when the other party swept past him, trying to pull it out to see if it was a real lens.
This time, after the other party checked carefully, he walked past Gu Zheng with some disappointment and walked towards the other male Mirror Demon. He then began to check the other male Mirror Demon.
However, the other party didn't even notice the fake Gu Zheng, let alone the real male Mirror Demon next to him.
"How is this possible? Is he not in this team? "
Lord Cheng muttered in his heart. He checked himself very carefully, but at this time, he couldn't help but feel that the other party might feel that it was too dangerous to take the risk and might as well stay inside.
In fact, this thought had always occupied his mind. After all, everyone knew how dangerous it was to go out. If it were him, he definitely wouldn't go out.
However, at this time, he naturally wouldn't give up. He walked in front again and said to the male spirit.
"Show your picture scroll and take a look," the male spirit said to the male spirit.
With the strength of this Painting Soul, it was impossible to take the enemy in. Even if the enemy didn't resist, the moment he went in, his picture scroll would probably explode.
The Painting Soul looked dissatisfied, but he still took it out reluctantly. It only flashed outside before he put it away again.
Lord Cheng also saw that it was the other party's picture scroll. At least the male spirit's identity was confirmed.
"The six of you, create your own shadows in mid-air and use the natal lenses on your foreheads. Take your time," Lord Cheng immediately ordered the remaining six people.
If the picture scroll of the Painting Soul Race couldn't be imitated by others, then the mirror armor unique to the Mirror Demon Race couldn't be imitated by others. It could be used for both defense and attack, especially the lenses on their foreheads, which had special effects. His purpose was to observe the other party's casting process.
The remaining six people were also unwilling, but they still followed Lord Cheng's instructions and started casting their spells.
This spell was very simple. The lenses on everyone's body suddenly flashed, then gathered on their foreheads. The five-colored light also gathered on their foreheads, then condensed into a set of five-colored light beams that shot into the air at a slanted angle.
Shadows that were very similar to the real body appeared in the air one by one, and they were quickly solidifying.
During this period, Lord Cheng kept looking at each of them, trying to find Gu Zheng who was hiding among them. However, all of them were very normal, which made Lord Cheng feel a little discouraged.
"Okay, you guys can stop now," Lord Cheng said.
Then, he wanted to see what other methods he could use to test them, so he walked towards the crowd.
"Lord Cheng, I've finished checking on my side. Is your side not done yet?"
At this moment, Elder Nineteen walked out from the side. Before he arrived, his voice could be heard.
"Of course, I'm almost done. I'm just short of the last step," Lord Cheng replied.
At the same time, his eyes emitted red light again, enveloping everyone except the male spirit.
"Let me tell you, if you do anything overboard, I won't go for the blessing," Elder Nineteen walked over and said to Lord Cheng sternly.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. I won't do anything overboard."
Before Lord Cheng could finish his words, the red light suddenly shrunk. At the same time, everyone below let out a muffled groan, and a line of blood flew out from everyone's arms. At the same time, a lens flew out from everyone's body and landed in his hand.
Swoosh!
Elder Nineteen appeared in front of Lord Cheng instantly. His face was so pale that it was dripping water.
"You guys don't have any problems. Let them go."
The Prime Minister didn't want to face the 19th Elder at all. He turned around and waved his hand at his subordinates who were guarding the intersection. The subordinates who were blocking the intersection immediately made way for him. At the same time, the sealed enchantment was also opened.
"Elder Nineteen, take care!" Lord Cheng gestured to Elder Nineteen to leave.
However, he felt a little regretful that Elder Nineteen wasn't in the group. He didn't need to guard this place anymore. He had to keep his eyes on the other side and hope that he could catch Elder Nineteen before the Heavenly King came out.
Elder Nineteen snorted coldly. He didn't even look at the monster in the air as he left. The crowd behind him hurriedly followed. Soon, the group of people left the city gate. Then, they sped up and rushed towards the predetermined location.
"Bring your men and follow them. You can only come back when they are out of the four cities."
After the group left, Lord Cheng said to a person beside him.
"It's really dangerous. The other party has so many detection methods. If it wasn't for Elder Seven's methods, I wouldn't have been able to hide from him. However, I will have to stay in this disguise for a while."
After Gu Zheng left the palace city, he was secretly relieved. Originally, before the Seventh Elder came to find him, he had his own concealment methods, and was originally quite confident. After all, he had the help of the Black Tower. However, that guy seemed to specialize in restraining concealment and the like, and even the Seventh Elder's disguise was almost seen through by him.
After leaving the palace city, the others relaxed a little. In this group, other than Elder Nineteen, no one knew his identity. Therefore, Gu Zheng also relaxed and started to think about his next plan.
In his opinion, he had to make a trip to Thunder Sound City first to find out about the spoils that Madam Snow mentioned. At that time, Madam Snow only mentioned it briefly. He didn't pay much attention to it. The only thing he knew was that it had something to do with Little Cat.
However, counting the days, Little Cat should still be gathering there. Even if he wanted to join in, he would have to wait for a while.
The second thing was about Yan Ge. He needed to save Meng Zhen and Xu Jia. He needed to find them. Yan Yue's sister had recovered. He could ask her to do his job and bring him to the passage. Only there would be a glimmer of hope.
Next, he would have to wait and see. No matter what, he had to save Little Ying.
Just when Gu Zheng was distracted, the male ghoul beside him suddenly took the initiative to talk to him. "Hey, why haven't I seen you before? Are you a subordinate of the new members?"
After all, these Mirror Demons were influenced by the Painting Souls. At the very least, apart from the Nineteenth Elder who had a long face, he was one of the strangely normal Painting Souls. The male Painting Soul behind him didn't dare to talk to the Elder, but the remaining four Mirror Demons had already started chatting with each other.
They still had a few days to travel. There wouldn't be any other problems. Elder Nineteen knew their personalities, so he didn't ask too much. This made the male Mirror Demon a little bored. Seeing that there were some decent companions beside him, he took the initiative to talk.
"I just came out not long ago. How about you?" Gu Zheng knew that the other party didn't know his identity. Although they knew that he was hiding in the Painting Soul Residence, they didn't want to expose his special identity. So, he asked back.
"I'm Miss Hua Li's attendant. I came out more than ten thousand years ago. I came out much earlier than you …"
Following Gu Zheng's question, the Painting Soul also opened his mouth and started to talk non-stop. After all, it was very rare to meet a new member of the clan. In the past, they could talk about almost everything. How could they be so interested? Especially when they saw Gu Zheng's nonchalant attitude, they couldn't stop talking.
Gu Zheng knew a lot about the Mirror Demon Clan. The reason why they were a subordinate race and couldn't be independent was that they came out of the Painting Scroll.
Every Painting Soul that came here was cultivated using the power of the Painting Scroll under some special circumstances. It was said that this method could only be found here. In other words, the Painting Soul there didn't have a race like the Mirror Demon.
Although the Mirror Demon Clan's essence was similar to the Demon Soul, it seemed that they were cultivated with similar black water. However, they relied on the Painting Scroll and weren't restricted by this place at all. Of course, there were gains and losses. Therefore, they were tied to the master of the Painting Scroll like a servant that couldn't be betrayed.
However, the only thing that made them happy was that they met a good-tempered master. Not only were the Painting Soul Clan tired of fighting, but they were also unique existences. Every Painting Scroll might have a Mirror Demon, but the gender was random and couldn't be controlled by the master.
Therefore, although all the Mirror Demons knew who their master was, they were still under unified management and assigned to work.
Gu Zheng chatted happily with the Mirror Demon next to him while hurrying. After two days of hurrying, they arrived at the territory of the Floating Soul Clan, another one of the four clans nearby. The Nineteenth Elder had some matters to attend to here and would stay for at least two more days.
The place where they needed to be blessed wasn't here. They still needed to hurry for about three days to go to a place that was quite far away from the Soul River. They didn't know why they had to be blessed in that place. Although Gu Zheng didn't know, he felt that it was about time for him to say goodbye after leaving the Floating Soul Clan.
In the Nineteenth Elder's Painting Scroll, another Mirror Demon was already sleeping inside and could replace his position at any time.
