Almost at the same time that Gu Zheng headed to the blessed land, the city that Elder Gu had called the Nameless City also welcomed a few special guests.
If Gu Zheng were here, he would be able to see at a glance that the leader was Qian Han, whom he had met once before. However, his escort, Fei, was not by his side.
"Welcome!"
Outside the city gates, in order to show that they were important, Elder Gu led Xiao Fang and the others to personally welcome the other party.
Before Qian Han came here, they had already probed each other several times. After understanding each other's identities, this was the first time Qian Han had come here as a representative of the Outer Souls.
Among the Outer Souls, many people supported making contact with this faction that had suddenly appeared, while some opposed it. A very small number of people did not express their opinions, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
In the previous contact, they had only interacted briefly. They had obtained many monsters in the air, and this time, they were going to have a more in-depth exchange.
Although they believed that this faction would not exist for long, to be able to take over this city without anyone noticing, there had to be something special about it. Therefore, if they made contact, there might be a basis for cooperation in the future.
Here, Qian Han saw that as the other party had said, there were soldiers who did not fear death. Every one of them was very powerful. Just in terms of numbers, the strength of this faction had already surpassed theirs.
However, they also had their own advantages, and that was the hidden passageways that were spread all over the place. Places that were hidden from others could help them hide some of their subordinates, reduce the importance of the Demon Spirits, and continue to accumulate strength.
They also wanted to use this place to allow some of their companions to recuperate, and even use it as a foundation to obtain more resources. The Outer Souls were actually very poor.
Qian Han quickly followed Elder Gu into this place, and the two of them had a deeper conversation.
Elder Gu also knew that the other party had come here through Gu Zheng. He also understood that if they wanted to defeat Wen Tianhou, they had to unite all the forces that needed to be united. The other party was also a local here, and had information that he did not know. He was more familiar with this place, and if the two of them worked together, it would definitely bring great benefits to both of them.
Hence, the two of them chatted happily and quickly came to a simple agreement. If they were to obtain monsters in the air, Thousand Chill would send more people over the next time they came over. At that time, it would be time for them to form an alliance.
"In that case, I have a piece of news for you. This is a message from one of our people. The other party accidentally saw Zhu Hun's black cat and heard it talking to someone. They decided to send some secret teams here to destroy your foundation. They seem to know something about you."
After ending the conversation, Qian Han suddenly threw out a piece of important news with a smile on his face.
"Really? Did someone know about this place? Why did you only send a small team? "Elder Gu's expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly asked.
Although at this time, under the devouring of the good dragon, many subordinates had been created, and the most important thing was that they were used as consumables. However, there were also disadvantages. The strength of the warriors that came out of the soul water was greatly reduced. Furthermore, the demon souls had no advantages and no disadvantages.
Therefore, she had also consumed a lot of resources to create more powerful warriors. However, with her current strength, it was still far from being comparable to the demon souls. In her opinion, the longer she could defend this place, the more cannon fodder there would be, and the greater the final victory would be.
Even if the current hope was less than ten percent, and she could not even see Wen Tianhou. There was a possibility that she would be destroyed by the other party's huge demon soul subordinates. At least she could bring some trouble to the other party.
However, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would not give up. She could no longer go back. She could even feel that she had been assimilated by this place. It was just that she had used a formation to forcibly stop it. If the other party really sent people to destroy her final formation, she would not be able to hold on for long.
In order to take revenge for Senior Black Dragon, she was not afraid of anything else. As long as she could complete it, she did not care about her life. However, if she could not complete it, as Gu Zheng had said, everything would be lost if she died. Only by surviving would there be hope.
She wanted to personally see Wen Tianhou die and take revenge for Senior Black Dragon. This was the obsession in her heart. Even if this obsession dissipated, her bitterly supporting spirit body would also dissipate. She would not hesitate.
Therefore, when she heard the other party's news, she became anxious. Although she had put on a disguise and found a way to arrange a new location, if the other party really found out, her hope would be completely destroyed.
"It's definitely true because the Candle Soul brought the elites of the demon souls over there and gave Soul Alliance a thunderous blow. They have completely destroyed the other party. The other party's existence is already a threat." Qian Han said seriously.
They had scattered supporters among the demon souls. From the bottom to the top, they all had their sources of information. Otherwise, they would not have been unable to be completely annihilated.
After all, in the eyes of these demon souls, they were actually the same kind. It was just that they were not accepted by others. If not for those people, they would have been swept away into the dust of time.
"This news is truly too important. Thank you for bringing this news. If there is a precaution, I can make a few changes." Elder Gu said seriously.
"If there is any help, that would be the best. If there is any other news about you, we will promptly send it over." Qian Han smiled as if he had done something insignificant and did not mention any other conditions.
However, even if the other party did not say anything, Elder Gu would not not say anything. After thinking for a moment, she took out a piece of news that also shocked the other party.
"I have a controlled Soul Lake here. I can provide some to you and allow you to develop your own faction."
"What!"
This time, it was Qian Han's turn to be shocked. He even stood up due to the shock and looked at Elder Gu in disbelief.
All the Soul Lakes in the Demon Soul Realm that had the power of birth had been excavated. The Soul Lakes without any power of birth could also be called Soul Rivers. To demon souls, they were like poison.
However, how did the other party control a secret Soul Lake? No wonder the other party's subordinates were so familiar. Other than their appearances resembling normal humans, they were exactly the same as the puppet demon souls that had been summoned.
"You should know that there is a sealed Soul Lake nearby." Elder Gu said indifferently and gave the other party a direction.
Since she wanted the other party to go there to develop their faction, there was no need to hide it. She gave a rough description of the direction.
"I seem to remember that there seems to be a Soul Lake mixed with Soul Water there. No matter how much effort was put into cultivating it, it seemed like it could not be revived. Even the Heavenly Kings could not do anything about it. But you … do you have a way to purify it? Or have you completely restored it to normal? "Qian Han was stunned and said with wide eyes.
His eyes burned as if he wanted to hear the news.
Seeing the other party's expectant gaze, Elder Gu said softly, "Of course we cannot purify it. However, we have a way to temporarily suppress it. We can guarantee that there will not be any problems."
"I have an unsolicited request. Can you take me there to take a look and confirm it? You should know how important this is to us." Qian Han's breathing quickened as he placed his hands on the table in front of him and pleaded with Elder Gu.
"Of course. You can come with me alone." Elder Gu did not refuse. She stood up and prepared to bring the other party over.
She knew how important the thing she had thrown out was. One had to know that the clansmen that demon souls nurtured had to consume their own essence energy. The clansmen they nurtured were like their own children. Under normal circumstances, an ordinary Jin Xian would probably take thousands of years to recover.
More importantly, the birth energy of the Soul Lake would no longer fuse with the child after a few times of nurturing. In other words, the child would lose all value in nurturing it. In other words, every man and woman in the Soul Race could have their own offspring, but the number was limited.
Under normal circumstances, the descendants that they exchanged their essence energy for would also be raised by them. However, they would not address them as father or mother. They would only address them by name or position. This was a little strange.
In their inheritance, they all had the idea of nurturing their own clansmen and expanding their race.
However, on the side of the Outer Soul Race, they only had essence energy and did not have a Soul Lake for them to develop. They were stuck in this state. Furthermore, they had enough clansmen. This meant that there was hope that a true Human Soul expert would lead them in the future. Perhaps one day, they would be able to have a territory that belonged to them. They would no longer be like rats, hiding everywhere and not waiting to be seen.
This was what every Outer Soul Race pursued. Elder Gu naturally understood this.
Qian Han, who had been heavily protected, finally walked into the opened cave. She saw that the area in front of her was extremely dilapidated and narrow compared to the outside. However, a terrifying black dragon was roaming freely inside.
Although the black dragon's entire body was incomparably black, only its golden claws were very conspicuous, and there were even signs of them extending upwards. As for its pair of golden eyes, just by casually sweeping over her, that oppressive aura almost paralyzed her to the ground. It was extremely terrifying.
She had never thought that there would be a living dragon here.
Even if it was her first time seeing such a creature, she knew what it was.
"Lord Black Dragon is resting here. It is willing to help clean up the debris inside and recover its Soul Lake. It also did not destroy the birth power inside." Elder Gu smiled and said from the side.
This was because the body formed by good thoughts had actually started to recover after devouring the things here. Furthermore, the speed was astonishing. It seemed that when the black body was dyed gold again, it would completely recover its strength.
This was also the reason why Elder Gu felt happy from the bottom of her heart. Of course, she did not know that all of these changes and the fact that it had swallowed the human that had been sucked into this place had caused the good dragon to change in another aspect. It could be said that it had evolved so that it was not like her, unable to escape.
Qian Han stood here for a very long time. She personally saw the puppet-like subordinates being born here. She also confirmed that there was an irresistible birth power inside. This made her understand that there were no obstacles to this cooperation.
From a certain point of view, if the cooperation was successful, they would have gained a great advantage.
.....
"Wow, this place is really spectacular."
After a few days of hurrying, Elder Nineteen and the others finally arrived here. Seeing such a huge altar that was like a small mountain, Mo Dou let out a cry of surprise.
Even Gu Zheng nodded. He had to admit that this altar was a little too big. The outside of the altar was filled with granular stones and exuded an ancient aura. He even felt that this thing had existed for a longer time than this space. He really did not know where this thing came from.
"We will rest here for a day. You can rest around here as you wish. After the blessing, we will leave. I will go and find the Water Tribe Patriarch here. Follow me."
When they got close, Elder Nineteen turned around and said.
"Ah? No way, didn't you say at least three days? I still want to play for two more days. "
When Elder Nineteen was far away, Zhi Mei shouted weakly. She really did not know what there was to play in this barren place.
"Who doesn't know Elder Nineteen's character? The other Elders will purposely stay for two more days so that we can relax. One day is one day. At least you left behind a statue. You are much better than us." Another female Mirror Demon comforted.
"One day. We can only stroll around here. Alright, let's go out and play," Zhi Kite said from the side.
Laughing and joking, the four of them ran toward the nearby area and disappeared without a trace. However, a loud rumble was heard from the other side.
So they were playing around to fight. Perhaps they had been in the sky for too long in the Palace City. Gu Zheng was speechless as he thought to himself. When he saw Mo Dou's eager expression, he immediately said in advance.
"I'm not going to play with you. I'm going to stroll around nearby. If you want to go, you can go with them."
"I'll be miserable if I go alone. Alright, if you don't want to go, I'll go." Mo Dou was a little depressed at first. When he saw Gu Zheng turn his head and walk in the other direction, he did not care anymore and went straight to his companions.
He did not have the time to play around with them. Now he could feel that the mark he left was very close to him. He could even feel the aura left by Ma Nan here, proving that she had been here.
If it was not for the fact that she was also coming here, he would have left halfway.
Gu Zheng did not directly head towards the source of the aura. If he guessed correctly, the place the other party was at was also where Water Hun was. He treated it as if he was taking a stroll and began to walk in circles from the outside. He began to approach that place.
As half a day passed, the distance he walked gradually got closer. He could already hear the sound of flowing water. The mark had confirmed that the other party was below, and Elder Nineteen was also below. There were also a few unfamiliar auras beside him. They should be the patriarch or elders of the Water Spirits Clan.
However, there were also a few Water Spirits guarding above. Among them, the male Painting Spirit was chatting with one of the Water Spirits. He was a little disappointed. With his status, he obviously could not go over.
He and Mo Dou were just decorations. Their only purpose was to stand below and not let anyone come up. It was just a facade. The female Mirror Spirit was to assist Elder Nineteen and bless them together.
At this time, even if Gu Zheng wanted to leave, it was impossible because he did not have time to exchange places with Elder Nineteen. This was what Elder Nineteen told him when he was about to arrive and asked if Gu Zheng was going to leave.
Although it was a pity that he could not get close, he was not in a hurry. Looking at Ma Nan's appearance, if she wanted to leave, she would have to wait until after the blessing. At that time, he would have time to follow her and see what she was doing.
Just as he left that place and was about to go to Mo Dou's side to take a look, a water droplet suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
A transparent water droplet smaller than a fingernail appeared in front of Gu Zheng without any warning. The moment Gu Zheng noticed it, the water droplet began to shake. It kept moving forward and back, repeating this action.
"You want me to go over?"
Gu Zheng looked at the meaning of this water droplet and did not feel any familiar aura from it. In the end, he decided to follow it. It seemed that the master behind this did not have any ill intentions towards him.
He followed the water droplet for a long time. Under the withered ground, a cave suddenly appeared in front of him. Then a familiar aura came from below.
Gu Zheng looked around carefully. After making sure that no one was following him, he immediately jumped down. As he entered, the cave above returned to its original appearance. No one would have thought that there was another mystery below.
"Yan Ge, long time no see. I didn't expect you to be here and recognize my disguised identity."
The cave below was not deep and the space was very narrow. It was not even as big as an ordinary room. A shallow Soul River was exposed outside. On a stone beside it, a familiar figure was sitting on it.
Gu Zheng knew that the other party was purposely leading him here. This meant that the other party already knew his disguise. It was truly puzzling. This was a disguise that even Gong Cheng could not see through. The other party had some ability.
"What a coincidence. Senior Gu, I didn't expect to meet you here. If not for sensing my sister's aura, I really wouldn't have known you were here. As for your disguise, I really couldn't see through it at all." Yan Ge stood up and said to Gu Zheng. He also explained how he could recognize Gu Zheng.
He could even feel that his sister had sensed him as well.
"It really is a coincidence. Didn't I ask you to find out about Soul Alliance? Why are you here? "Gu Zheng finally understood. However, he still asked suspiciously.
"I've already found out what senior wanted me to do. I was preparing to finish this before finding you. I really didn't expect to see you here."
Yan Ge's words caused Gu Zheng to be shocked. He didn't expect the other party to know in such a short time.
"This matter is very simple. After all, the demon soul's movements are rather large. Even if you want to hide, you can't. The other party didn't think of hiding either. After all, Soul Alliance's people have no way of finding out about this." Yan Ge saw Gu Zheng's confusion and spoke the truth.
"However, I've also found out a lot of information. I even went to Soul Alliance. If you need, I can tell you some information from Soul Alliance. However, due to the arrival of the blessing, time is a bit tight. I don't know much."
"It's enough. Since you can feel your sister's aura, you know she's awake. Don't worry, your sister has already been completely healed. If you want to see her first, you have to go in. Once you tell me the news, I'll let your sister out."
"After all, this is a transaction."
"I'm willing to go in first!"
