"Oh? It woke up so early. This Mirror Demon's foundation is not bad. I wonder who created it. "
Three figures walked in from the outside one by one. The one in front was a strong man who looked to be in his thirties. He was respectfully leading the way in front. Behind him were a man and a woman who looked old and senile. That sentence was said by the man who walked in the back.
"No matter who it is, we need to know why the Aquatic Demons haven't come yet. We've already lost two Aquatic Demons at the front line. We're in urgent need of reinforcements. We're barely able to hold on, but that's all. If we want to counterattack, we'll need the Aquatic Demons." The female elder next to him spoke with some dissatisfaction.
"Of course I know. I'm just curious. After all, this is the first time in so many years. I want to know the situation over there. It will take a long time for them to arrive."
"Elder Lin, Elder Shu, we're here." The strong man in front said to the two behind him.
"Hmm, what's your name? Why are you here? Did the Painting Soul Clan cause trouble over there and ruin the plan of the Water Beasts? Or has the Painting Soul Clan completely rebelled? "Elder Lin stepped forward and asked a series of questions.
As for the female Elder Shu behind him, she also shut her mouth and looked at Gu Zheng from the side.
"Who are you?" Gu Zheng didn't answer the other party's question at all. Instead, he asked them a question.
"Who we are is not important at all. What's important is that you are now our captive. If you want Soul Painting to come and save you, you'd better give up." Elder Shu also had his nose in the air, looking down on others.
Both of them were at the Middle Stage of the Human Soul Realm. Of course, they looked down on this early-stage Human Soul Realm Mirror Demon in front of them. Furthermore, the other party was already sealed here. To them, it was like a catfish on the chopping board. They could kill it however they wanted. However, they had to get rid of the troublesome little guy first.
Gu Zheng glanced at them and didn't say anything. From the other party's attitude, the Painting Soul Clan didn't seem to be treated well here. However, he didn't know what they had done to make this place refuse to accept them and make them want to escape at all costs.
However, it seemed that this skin could at least help him a little. If he had come in his true form, he would probably have been killed instantly.
He did not blame Yan Yue and Yan Ge for this. They had never been here before. If he told them everything he knew, they would probably be treated the same way as him. After all, they were connected to two different places. It was reasonable for accidents to happen.
"Hey, Mirror Demon brat, I advise you to cooperate with us. Otherwise, it will be too late if you suffer a little." Elder Ling snorted and threatened.
Unfortunately, to Gu Zheng, all of this was useless. He continued to look at them expressionlessly. On the other hand, Xiao Yu, who was in his arms, flew out when he heard the other party's threat. He pretended to be fierce as he looked outside, as if he was protecting Gu Zheng.
However, the purple barrier outside was still there, so there was no way he could rush out. He could only bare his teeth, revealing his fine blue teeth, which were like gears turning back and forth, threatening the other party.
Although that was all, Gu Zheng was still able to see a hint of fear in the other party's eyes. This seemingly harmless little fish seemed to have something special about it.
However, Gu Zheng had already seen it. This little fish's body was a little special, but it was not a fish. After all, from the outside, he could see that the inside of its body was empty. It was as if a blue crystal had transformed into a fish. However, there was no strange aura coming from it, nor was there any cultivation on its body.
"What should we do? He doesn't seem to be afraid. "Elder Ling turned his head and asked Elder Shu. It seemed that his status was slightly lower than hers.
"Let's teach him a lesson first. Let him know that he can't completely rely on the blue crystal fish." Elder Shu gave him a look, and the latter immediately understood.
Elder Ling stretched out his hand. His skinny hand looked a little scary. He directly reached out towards the purple barrier in front of him and pressed his hand against it. Then, the black lines on the barrier suddenly lit up. Even the purple barrier was a little dazzling. Arcs of lightning the size of a finger constantly flickered from the barrier, as if they could fall at any time.
When Gu Zheng saw this, he knew that the other party wanted to teach him a lesson. However, before it was his turn to act, the small fish that the other party called the Blue Crystal Fish had already coiled up on top of Gu Zheng's head. Its mouth opened and closed slightly, and a blue stream of light flowed out of its mouth and flowed in all directions.
Looking at the dreamy blue light in front of him, which just happened to surround him, the black lightning fell from the sky and struck the barrier from all directions.
The aggressive black lightning splashed black waves on the barrier before dissipating. The entire barrier trembled at the same time, but it seemed like the monster in the sky did not show any signs of breaking.
This made Gu Zheng very surprised. His eyes were fixed on the ordinary-looking little fish. He really did not expect that such a small body would have such a special ability.
However, even when the other party released the blue barrier, Gu Zheng did not sense any aura from the other party. One had to know that the power of the black lightning was not small. Although it was not fatal to him, if he was not prepared, he would still be attacked by the monster in the sky. This was a small lesson that the other party wanted to teach him.
The black lightning lasted for a full fifteen minutes. As Elder Ling outside retreated, it finally calmed down.
"This mirror demon is a little special. Even the blue crystal fish is protecting him. I can't break through his defense."
Elder Ling outside was not on guard against Gu Zheng at all and said to Elder Shu helplessly. What he said shocked Gu Zheng. If he did not hear wrongly, the other party, who was in the mid-stage Grand Heavenly Realm, seemed to be helpless against Little Fish. Even if he was released, he would not be able to do anything to Little Fish, not to mention that they were still in the array formation.
"I knew it was special from the beginning. After all, this should be the first person to appear with the male mirror demon. I was afraid that something would happen to the painting soul. Let's trap him first. Wei Wufang, you look after him here. We will go back and ask the lord to come over."
When Elder Shu saw Gu Zheng's appearance and Little Fish, he knew that it was impossible to pry open the other party's mouth now. He simply gave up and asked the people who accompanied him here to look after him first. They would go back and discuss it carefully.
"Please rest assured, Elder. I will watch over him day and night." Wei Wufang immediately accepted the order respectfully.
Elder Shu nodded and then asked Elder Ling to walk in front. They left through the door of light one after another, leaving him behind to look after the door of light closed. In other words, the person who was guarding Little Fish was also trapped here.
When Little Fish saw that the other party had left, she also retracted her defense. She swam in front of Gu Zheng again and then casually swam in the purple light barrier. Her movements looked as if she was still in the water and did not feel out of place at all.
Gu Zheng glanced at Wei Wufang. He was different from the other two demons. This person was a proper human. However, his cultivation was only in the mid-stage Jin Xian. There was no need to think too much about it. He knew that this person was only here to monitor him. As for controlling the array formation here, he was still not qualified.
After the elder left, Wei Wufang was no longer as respectful and serious as before. He directly leaned against the pillar next to him and did not even look at Gu Zheng.
Sly old fox!
Seeing the other party's actions, Gu Zheng knew the other party's nature. In front of his superiors, he would always be loyal and devoted, willing to work hard without complaint. He would always rush to complete any mission and was very expressive. When no one was looking, he would slack off whenever he could.
The array formation here was specialized in trapping people. It was not a killing array. The array formation before was not very powerful. If it was a killing array, Gu Zheng would be in trouble if he was trapped inside.
This was also why Wei Wufang was not afraid to rest. He was confident that Ye Xiwen would not be able to come out.
"Hey, friend, are you from here?" Gu Zheng saw that the other party had closed his eyes and was taking a nap, so he directly asked.
"Just stay here obediently and stop talking nonsense. When the people above come, even if you have the protection of that fish, it will be useless," Wei Wufang glanced at Gu Zheng and squeezed out a voice from his mouth.
"I'm just bored. Where is this place? Do those aquatic demons also faint when they come here? Who is the elder you are talking about? Is he a native of this place? "
Gu Zheng asked a series of questions, but Wei Wufang acted as if he did not hear him. He was still lying there, completely ignoring him.
Gu Zheng talked to himself for a long time. He saw that the other party was still taking a nap, not saying a word from beginning to end. He did not even look at Gu Zheng.
Without a doubt, this was a sly old fox with real cultivation. He could completely ignore other noises.
"How troublesome. How do I get out of here?"
The surrounding purple barrier had already disappeared, and he could see the appearance of the house. Unfortunately, in his eyes, there was no way to break through. If he wanted to break through by force, it would cause too much of a commotion. Who knew how many people were outside? It would take too long. Before he could break through, the other party would come and control the array formation to suppress him again.
Then he looked at the sly old fox. If he wanted to leave this place quietly, perhaps the sly old fox was his hope. However, now was not the time to talk.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed. Gu Zheng closed his eyes and sat there cross-legged. He only opened his eyes after Elder Ling, who came to check on him, left.
Wei Wufang's originally smiling face returned to normal. He was ready to rest. It was rare to encounter such a relaxing thing. If he did not take this opportunity to rest, he would feel sorry for himself.
"Wei Wufang, did you come from the outside world? Actually, I also came from the outside. "
On the other side, Gu Zheng had finally filled up his empty body and shouted at Wei Wufang who was outside.
Perhaps it was because he was bored and Gu Zheng was talking nonsense, but Wei Wufang could not help but speak. "Nonsense. Who doesn't know that the mirror demons are a race created by the painting spirit? Even if you want to get my attention, you have to say something reliable."
Gu Zheng stood up and pretended to say casually, "Who told you that I am a mirror demon? I just made a disguise. As for the aquatic demons you are still looking for, I'm afraid they have no chance to come here."
Sure enough, this news successfully attracted the other party's interest.
"The aquatic demons have been killed by you?" Wei Wufang did not return to his temporary resting place. Instead, he walked out of the formation and looked at Gu Zheng. "You are definitely a mirror demon. But did Lord Wen fail over there? Has the painting spirit successfully ruled over that place? "
Of course, he understood the purpose of this place. It existed for the sake of the aquatic demons. Now that someone told him that the aquatic demons could no longer pass through, he did not believe it.
Wen Tianhou had spent a great deal of effort to raise the Water Demon Clan, and this side was fully cooperating with him. Although they had many shortcomings, their advantages were obvious. They were specially trained to be commanders for the second line of defense, and their importance was self-evident.
In fact, without the painting spirit's blessing, he could still successfully advance. However, the resources required were also not cheap. It was far inferior to using the painting spirit's power.
This was also because he had been here for a long time and inferred from ordinary words. Many people only knew that the aquatic demons were specially cultivated in that world.
"I am definitely not a mirror demon. This temporary formation cannot trap me. It's just that I don't know anything about the situation outside. Otherwise, I would have already left." Gu Zheng shook his head and said with certainty.
"You think that I will believe your nonsense? Then you are an idiot." Wei Wufang snorted at Gu Zheng's words.
Even if he had never seen a mirror demon before, the aura of the Abyss Prison Realm was exactly the same as the aquatic demons that just arrived. Also, its appearance was the same as what he heard. In addition, the two elders confirmed that it was a mirror demon. How could the two elders not see through it?
"Is that so? Do you recognize this thing? " Gu Zheng flipped his wrist and a black tower appeared in his hand. Although it was a little blurry, he could still see its general shape.
When he saw the blurry figure, Wei Wufang's pupils suddenly shrank. His face was filled with shock. He felt a huge impact and could not help but take two steps back.
"This … this … is fake." As if he thought of something, Wei Wufang stopped and stammered.
Although he had never seen it before, the monsters in the sky were well-known in the human world. The aquatic demons did not know about it at all.
"It's fake. If I take out the real thing, I'm afraid that I will be drowned in the crowd." Gu Zheng clenched his hand and the black fog was directly crushed.
In fact, he wanted to reveal the real black tower. But as he said, if he really revealed it, he would definitely die without a burial place. Where is this? This is the other party's world. Once they sense the aura of the black tower, they would probably rush over like crazy.
It should be known that even when they had an overall advantage, they did not dare to bring the Black Tower deep into the battlefield. Once it was lost, the largest and most dangerous treasure in their hands could possibly be seized by the other party. If it was used by the other party in the past, it would practically be a huge disaster. Thus, even if it was a clone, they were not allowed to leave the battlefield ahead.
So as soon as Gu Zheng had this idea, the black tower madly opposed it. It also clearly told him that it would not help here no matter what, and would not release a trace of its aura. Even if he died here, it would be buried here forever and would not be allowed to be found by the enemy.
Before the black tower came here, it definitely did not think that Gu Zheng would be so daring to come here alone. Even if it wanted to stop him, it was too late. Because before, it also did not think that there really was a passage that went deep inside the other party.
If they knew, they would definitely make good use of it, and not those people who were neither human nor ghost to stop the progress here. Even the people who came here, apart from the person who controlled it, were only a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Letting it waste so much time here, and even almost being controlled by these people, was its greatest shame.
So Gu Zheng knew that the black tower was no longer his trump card here. It was fine if he did not use it, but once he took it out, it would become a death sentence.
If he wanted to use the black tower, he had to build a completely sealed space that could not leak any aura. Otherwise, he could not use it at all.
"Who exactly are you?" This Wei Wufang stabilized his mood after a dozen breaths, and asked Gu Zheng seriously.
If he really was a mirror demon, he would not know about the black tower.
"I'm just an ordinary person. I came here on a mission."
Gu Zheng smiled, and then slowly walked forward. The original mirror on his body was also quickly put away, and his whole body soon returned to its original appearance.
In fact, it was yesterday that the disguise on his body had already lost its effect. The disguise on his body now was made by himself.
When that elder came, Gu Zheng was very nervous. He didn't know if he could hide it from him. Perhaps it was because the elder had already thoroughly checked Gu Zheng when he was captured, so he was completely convinced of Gu Zheng's identity and didn't examine him carefully.
As he walked forward step by step, the purple light shield that should have blocked him did not appear, as if it did not sense Gu Zheng. Even the other formations that could be activated at any time were not activated, and Gu Zheng walked out of the formation.
In this short period of time, he understood the flaw of this formation. This formation could only trap demonic souls and people in this world. For Gu Zheng, who completely belonged to the Untainted Land, it could not arouse their mechanism.
This was not their negligence, because this place was originally a place to imprison water demons, and it was the core of the Small World. Who would have thought that someone could appear here?
Even people like Wei Wufang who lived here had long been connected to this place. As for Gu Zheng, ever since he came here, he had been carefully shielding himself from everything here. Even when he recovered, he did not absorb any spiritual energy. In other words, he was an outsider to this world.
But as long as he stayed here long enough, or recovered himself, he would be brought here in any way. At that time, Gu Zheng would not be able to ignore the siege of these formations.
"So, you are very lucky. If you had done something else, you would have been dead. But I can see that you don't really want to work for the elder. Why don't you help me?"
Gu Zheng walked step by step to the elder, and then said.
Judging from the elder's attitude, he did not have any feelings for this place. Maybe he came here very early, or maybe he was the descendant of those who came here. That was not important. What was important was that after some observation, the elder seemed to be able to fight for him, so he took the risk to do all this.
If it wasn't for the fact that time was too tight, he definitely wouldn't have used such a risky method. Even if he had taken precautions, the risk was still very high. Fortunately, he succeeded. The other party didn't immediately warn the outside, which made him even more confident.
"What's your choice?"
Gu Zheng threw the question to the elder.
