"Milord, that's right. It's here."
At this moment, outside Luo Shan, a wretched-looking man in tattered clothes was holding a tree branch in his hand. After putting on an act of gesturing, he pointed at Luo Shan and spoke.
"Are you sure? You should know what will happen to you if you dare to deceive me. "
An elegant man in white clothes looked at him and spoke seriously.
"Young master Yuan, I wouldn't dare to deceive you no matter how bold I am. If you pay a little more, I'll bring you to within three hundred meters of where the other party is hiding." The wretched-looking man chuckled, but his expression was even more disgusting.
"Do you know how much my young master has given you? You insatiable human, enough is enough."
Before Young Master Yuan could speak, the two attendants behind him spoke up. Anyone could hear the dissatisfaction in their words.
Although they were followers, their strength had already reached the early stage of the Human Soul Realm. They were not something that the man who ravaged Jin Xian could compare to.
"Milords, you can't say that. Every time you make a move, you've wasted at least ten thousand years of my cultivation. Otherwise, I would have already reached the Grand Heavenly Realm." The sloppy-looking man also retorted.
"Alright, since I've asked you to come, I naturally understand your losses. I can still afford it. As long as we capture the other party, the glory is nothing compared to this. I'll give it to you right now." Young master Yuan said impatiently.
"Take it. This should be enough."
Only then did one of the followers go up and throw him something as he spoke with disgust.
"It's enough, it's enough. Thank you for your generosity, young master. I'll lead the way for you." After the sloppy-looking man caught it, he immediately spoke with joy.
Afterwards, without waiting for the other party to urge him, he began to wave the tree branch that he had picked up on the road. He was vigorous and had the appearance of an expert.
"Kacha"
How could an ordinary tree branch be destroyed by him? As he waved it, it broke into two in the air.
"That's not important. What's important is that I've already obtained the other party's location.
Come with me, "the sloppy-looking man said nonchalantly as he threw away the broken branch in his hand as he watched it fly away.
"Let's go. I can't wait any longer." Young master Yuan did not even look at his follower's fiery eyes as he spoke.
If the other party had led him to the wrong place, he would have taken back the things he had given him before and his life. There was no need to fuss over such a small matter.
"Over here, over here."
The four of them soared into the air and quickly rushed towards the mountainside. The place they were heading towards was the place where Gu Zheng was hiding.
In a short period of time, they had already arrived at a very barren place filled with rocks. In front of them was a very steep mountain. It was a place where no one had ever been before.
"Where is the person you were talking about?" One of the attendants grabbed the man who was ruining things and raised him in the air as he asked fiercely.
"I've said it before. I can only bring you to within three hundred meters of the other party. That's my level. If you look carefully, you'll definitely be able to find the other party. I'll be right here. Once you find me, we'll leave." The sloppy-looking man's feet continued to stomp around as he spoke at the top of his voice.
......................
"Cough cough. You're so kind." The sloppy-looking man coughed violently as soon as he got down, almost suffocating him to death. However, he did not forget to flatter Young master Yuan.
Young master Yuan was not in the mood to pay attention to him. He grabbed Ah Dou who stood up and went back.
"Who are you? This place is … "Ah Dou's vision blurred as he discovered that three people had suddenly appeared in front of him. He instinctively shouted and wanted to use Luo Shan to threaten and scold them.
But just as he spoke, his body relaxed and he stood there with a dull look in his eyes.
Luckily, Little Yu was already sleeping in his sleeve when he finished. They did not bother to carefully check the servant disciple as they were directly controlled by Young master Yuan.
"Let me ask you. Have you met any strange people here? Where are they?" Young master Yuan asked directly.
"There's a very nice person at the edge of the dense mountain. Every time, he would appear there. I don't even know how he came or went."
Ah Dou, who was in a daze, raised his hand slowly and pointed at the mountain not far away. That was all the information he had.
"I'm not wrong, am I? I'm relying on my reputation. Can I go now?" The sloppy-looking man smiled flatteringly.
"No. You must see him. Follow me," Young master Yuan's follower said.
The sloppy-looking man could only helplessly follow him. He took a few more steps forward and arrived at the place Ah Dou pointed at.
Ah Dou also began to walk mechanically. He was as stiff as a block of wood as he walked towards his room.
Because he was Luo Shan's person, even if he was an insignificant servant disciple, Young master Yuan let him go. Of course, the fact that he was not human was very important.
"Is this the place? He dares to hide in a dead end? Break it open, "Young master Yuan glanced at the mountain and could not help but snort coldly.
"Yes, sir!"
The two followers answered at the same time. However, they did not go forward. Instead, with that place as the center, they continuously flew inside. Golden powder continuously fell from the sky. It was quite a beautiful sight. In the end, they all merged into the mountain.
Very quickly, this place was completely disrupted. It was no longer possible to use teleportation to enter or exit. This ensured that they could not use any other methods to leave.
As for the mountain in front of them, it became thicker the deeper they went. Although using Luo Shan would greatly reduce their chances of finding them, once they were trapped here, they would not be able to force their way out.
This was Luo Shan. With the support of a grand formation, it was incomparably tough. It was not something they could break through. Even with the three of them working together, it was still impossible.
"Capture them before the others come."
After Young Master Yuan finished speaking, he took two steps back and gave his position to his two followers, allowing them to charge into the trap.
As for Gu Zheng, who was inside, he was still looking at Meng Zhen. A painting scroll had been unfurled, and she was fully focused on it. She took out a seemingly ordinary brush and slowly sketched on it.
Each stroke was extremely difficult. It was as if there was an invisible energy stopping her.
At this moment, Meng Zhen, who had fully recovered, was sweating on her forehead and panting heavily. If this continued, she was afraid that she would fail halfway like the previous few times.
Gu Zheng stood up and came to Meng Zhen's side. Looking at the painting scroll, he did not know how many times it had been drawn. It was obviously a corner of her room. He sighed and said.
"Let's rest first. This time, it seems like we still have to …"
"Bang!"
A huge explosion suddenly came from outside, interrupting Gu Zheng's words.
"The other party is here. Retreat." Gu Zheng's expression changed and immediately said. At the same time, he immediately activated the mechanism in front of them.
As the mountain walls collapsed, the path ahead was completely blocked.
However, Gu Zheng knew that it could only delay the other party for a little while. Fortunately, there was a backup plan behind. They would not be blocked by the other party.
However, they would probably have to run endlessly next.
Meng Zhen also stopped her painting. She did not have time to erase the traces on it. She kept her painting scroll and followed Gu Zheng to the back.
As Gu Zheng went deeper, the passages behind them collapsed. At the same time, the formations that were set up beforehand were activated one by one to buy more time for them.
Soon, they arrived at the core of the mountain. There was an equally huge cave. Gu Zheng was expanding it bit by bit. On the top of the cave, there were layers of formations to strengthen the concealment of this place.
In the middle, a rune that was as big as a basketball court was engraved on the ground. This was the passage that Meng Zhen painstakingly engraved to leave this place. It was connected to another hidden place in Luo Mountain. The distance between the two places was quite far. It was almost across Luo Mountain.
These days, they were either thinking of ways to go back or making preparations to leave a way out for themselves.
Meng Zhen stood in the middle of the formation. She raised her hand and the ground lit up with colorful lights. At the same time, the painting scroll was taken out again. It floated in front of her chest and started to tremble as Meng Zhen muttered to herself.
The painting scroll and the formation on the ground resonated with each other.
A familiar wave started to ripple in the air. Countless strong lights shrouded Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen. In front of them, the enemy's voice could be heard. The enemy's speed was faster than Gu Zheng had expected.
However, no matter how fast they were, they still had to break through the obstacles left for them. When the enemy rushed over, they would have already left this place. However, they were temporarily out of danger.
However, when the light was at its brightest, the two of them who were supposed to leave were still in the same place.
"What's going on? I'll buy some time for you. "Gu Zheng could not help but ask.
The commotion in front was getting closer. There was not enough time for them to make a move again.
"The enemy has done something to the outside. We can't leave." Meng Zhen said in despair.
She naturally knew how strong Chi Hong was. Even if the two of them fought with their lives, they would not be able to cause any harm to him.
"You try again. You go first." Gu Zheng was silent for a while before he said immediately.
After saying that, he did not give Meng Zhen any time to speak. Five jade bracelets instantly flew out from his body and wrapped around his wrists, ankles, and neck.
An extremely tyrannical force instantly came from above, increasing Gu Zheng's strength little by little. In just a few breaths, he had already reached the mid-stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm. His strength was still rising, but it was forcefully stopped by Gu Zheng.
This strength was enough for him to deal with most situations. Moreover, he could maintain it for a longer time. If there was a need, he could suddenly erupt. It was better than appearing out of nowhere.
"Crash!"
As soon as Gu Zheng finished this time, countless stones in front of him directly smashed towards Gu Zheng. Behind the stones, there were actually five shadows that were pouncing towards him.
"Hmph!"
Gu Zheng snorted coldly and pointed his finger forward. The stones in front of him suddenly froze in mid-air. Almost at the moment they stopped, they exploded.
Stones of different sizes were like powerful bombs that kept exploding, causing the entire cave to tremble slightly.
However, among the five figures behind him, three of them immediately scattered to the side, while the two figures in the middle grew in size. They were like small giants that were covered in black light. They directly crossed their hands above their heads and rushed forward.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng instantly retreated and dragged Meng Zhen away to a place at the back.
"You guys are really here. Let's see where you can escape to this time." Young Master Yuan glanced at them and immediately said happily.
While he was speaking, the two big guys had already smashed the underground array into smithereens, making it completely useless.
"Just the few of you."
Gu Zheng looked at the three people in front of him and the two monsters in front of him and couldn't help but say.
"The few of us are enough." Young Master Yuan chuckled. "Do you want to suffer less, or do you want us to beat you up before you give in?"
Hearing the other party's words, Gu Zheng laughed instead. This made Young Master Yuan very puzzled and he couldn't help but ask.
"You're still talking about monsters in the air at this time."
"Do you know? When you were talking, I was thinking that all villains die because they talk too much. "Gu Zheng smiled at Young Master Yuan and said something that made the other party angry.
"Kill him for me. I don't care if he's dead or alive. Don't hurt that woman." Young Master Yuan said coldly.
Two monsters with bulging muscles and green fangs rushed towards Gu Zheng in large strides, while the other two followers came out from the sides and moved to the sides.
Young Master Yuan didn't retreat and directly blocked the only path in front of him.
In his opinion, the other party had definitely failed. As a middle-stage Human Soul, he had two puppets that couldn't die and two followers. It was simply too easy to deal with the other party. Moreover, this was their territory.
"I'll help you hold back those two people." Meng Zhen whispered to Gu Zheng.
"It'll only take the time to brew a cup of tea. Charge out with me at any time. Don't fight for a long time." Gu Zheng nodded and said.
Meng Zhen understood what he meant. The longer the battle, the more enemies would be attracted. At that time, they wouldn't be able to escape even if they resisted. Her main task was safety first and she could leave at any time.
This was too easy for her. However, she was a little worried about Gu Zheng and whether he could withstand the attacks of the three people.
Right now, she could only choose to believe in Gu Zheng.
When Gu Zheng went out, she took out a white brush that was thin at the back and thick at the front. Holding it in her hand, she drew on the left and right sides respectively, leaving a white mark in the air as if she was writing something in the air.
However, Meng Zhen didn't do anything. After the two marks appeared, she quickly clapped her palms back and forth. The two white marks immediately condensed into white light and shot towards the followers.
In mid-air, as the white light flew, the condensed light scattered again. It was like the hair on a brush. Each of them was distinct but they still condensed into a ball and gathered together.
When the two followers saw the opponent's clumsy attack, even though it didn't seem like much, they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. Although they hadn't really experienced fighting monsters in the air, their battle records in the past were like thunder to their ears. Naturally, they didn't let their guard down.
They dodged left and right, trying to avoid the opponent's attack. However, the white light seemed to have grown eyes. It moved back and forth with them, chasing after the opponent.
Meng Zhen, who was in the middle, had already opened up her scroll. It was more than ten feet long and there were at least ten different scenes on it, occupying most of the empty space. There were mountains, rivers, seas, and isolated islands. It seemed like she had drawn most of the terrain on it.
Everything inside seemed to be alive. It seemed like she was looking at another world through the water. The water flowed and the flowers swayed with the wind. Her nimble hands kept tapping on the scroll, causing ripples to appear. It seemed like she didn't care about the enemies on both sides.
After a few breaths of pursuit, the two followers had nowhere to hide. After all, this place was relatively small and there wasn't much space for them to hide. The white light caught up to them.
The two of them did almost the same action. One of them raised a layer of defense while the other took out their own weapons and attacked in front of them.
They were confident that their cultivation was similar to the opponent's. No matter how strong the opponent was, they would be able to resist for a while.
Their mission was the same as Meng Zhen's but not quite the same. This was because they couldn't hurt Meng Zhen. Therefore, they were at a disadvantage when facing Meng Zhen. They didn't dare to let loose and there were some things that they couldn't do. They could only hold Meng Zhen back and wait for Young Master Yuan to finish off the opponent before capturing Meng Zhen.
However, just as they attacked, the white light around them exploded. The white hairs inside rushed out rapidly and surrounded the opponent in the air in the blink of an eye. One after another, the gaps were connected by countless white hairs, forming a white ball.
For a moment, the followers were unable to come out.
Swish.
Just as the followers were wondering what the opponent was doing and were waiting for the opponent to attack, the two white lights suddenly shrunk and brought them into Meng Zhen's painting.
The two of them were thrown into different paintings. Naturally, they were shocked and terrified. Facing an unfamiliar place, they began to think of a way to leave.
Meng Zhen quickly put away the painting and began to attack them from the inside. She wanted them to know that the soulpainting race wasn't so easy to bully.
However, in order to trap them, Meng Zhen had lost even more of her combat ability. She was unable to help Gu Zheng. Now that there was one more person, she would only be able to dodge.
Just as Meng Zhen was focused on dealing with the followers, Gu Zheng had already charged forward to fight the two monsters.
As for Young Master Yuan, he had already taken out a magical treasure that was like a mirror. He had trapped himself inside and blocked the path behind him. If the other side wanted to leave, they would have to go through him.
He wanted to use his two puppets to weaken the other side. When that time came, he would go up and deal with them.
Gu Zheng naturally knew what they were thinking. But after fighting with these two monsters, he understood why they were so confident that their two puppets would be able to block him.
An attack landed on the other side. Even though he didn't use a weapon and had used his magic power to create a weapon, he only managed to leave a shallow wound on the other side.
Almost as soon as he left, the wound healed in an instant.
Such a fearless monster with boundless strength truly made Gu Zheng feel a trace of difficulty.
However, seeing that Young Master Yuan was still focused on him, Gu Zheng felt like he should stall for time. Otherwise, even if he launched a sudden attack, it would be blocked by him. At the same time, he could allow the fifth ring's energy to continue accumulating.
