"Something's not right."
Gu Zheng, who was running away, suddenly stopped in the air. He looked around seriously and mumbled to himself.
"What's wrong? Didn't we leave? Or did they catch up with us? " Meng Zhen jumped down from Gu Zheng's hand and looked around. They were already far away from Luo Shan and had entered an endless grassland. There was no trace of the other party.
This was a common scene. Before coming to Luo Shan, it had been like this for at least a day. There was no one living here. It was either a forest or a grassland or a mountain. It was full of spiritual energy.
"Wait, let me take a look."
At this moment, Gu Zheng did not know that he had flown all the way out. Normally speaking, there should have been no problem, but he had a vague feeling that something was wrong. When he looked around carefully, the feeling in his heart grew even stronger. It was as if everything around him was out of place.
Just as Gu Zheng was feeling puzzled and was carefully inspecting the area, ripples began to appear in the distance. Everything in the surroundings was rapidly changing.
"We're still in Luo Shan. We haven't left at all."
As the surrounding scenery appeared, Meng Zhen shouted in surprise.
Gu Zheng's face turned strange in the air. He finally understood what was going on. It seemed that he had been in the other party's formation. It seemed that he had been moving away, but in fact, he had been going in circles. He had never left Luo Shan's range.
At this time, the Great Elder had already brought a group of people over in an aggressive manner. Very quickly, they stood in a row in front of Gu Zheng and the others, looking at them.
During this time, Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen wanted to break out of the formation. However, in such a short time, they could not even see what the other party's formation was, let alone break out of it.
The First Elder looked at Gu Zheng below and coldly said, "Catching monsters in the air is not bad. You have successfully opened a path of survival for yourself. Unfortunately, in front of our Great Luo Mountain Formation, even if there were ten of you, you would not be able to escape."
Lin Fan had embarrassed him. Initially, he thought that Lin Fan was brave and admired him. But now, he did not like him.
"If I say we can get out, then we can get out," Gu Zheng said firmly.
However, this was only his last bit of stubbornness. In reality, whether or not he could get out, he naturally knew. Now, he had no other choice.
Meng Zhen did not say anything. She only felt that she had implicated Gu Zheng. Her expression was gloomy. To her, there was no hope of escaping.
"Let's talk about it after you escape."
The Great Elder did not waste any more time. He pointed at the sky and a huge white bubble appeared in the air. Then, it fell towards Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng wanted to attack the Great Elder and fight with him to see if there was an opportunity. However, an extremely strong force came from all directions, making it difficult for him to move. He could only watch as the white bubble fell towards him.
"We can't give up!"
Gu Zheng looked at Meng Zhen who was beside him. She could not move under the pressure. She even closed her eyes as if she had accepted her fate. Without hesitation, a ball of flame burst out from his body.
Just the release of a small flame was enough to tear apart all the shackles in the surroundings. Even the surrounding space started to fluctuate.
When the Great Elder saw Gu Zheng's sudden burst of power and the fact that even the protective formation seemed to be unable to withstand it, he was even more shocked. If that attack were to explode on his body, he was not sure if he could withstand it completely.
However, that was all there was to it. An even greater power continued to press in from all directions, firmly suppressing the opponent's power in front of him.
He wanted to fight against the formation alone. Even if he had this terrifying trump card, the end result was destined.
The other elders did not feel anything. This was because the Great Elder had already mobilized the formation to block the force outside. Therefore, they were only curious as to why Gu Zheng still had the strength to resist.
"Gu Zheng, why don't you leave on your own? Perhaps the other party will not catch you."
Meng Zhen, who had regained her freedom, saw Gu Zheng's state and knew that it was his last resistance. She could not help but say this.
"I want to take you with me. The elders are still waiting for you. Don't worry, I'm fine." Even at this moment, Gu Zheng was still holding on.
Moreover, he had no way of getting out.
When Meng Zhen heard Gu Zheng's stubbornness, she smiled bitterly in her heart. She had not expected that she would end up in such a state. Since Gu Zheng had gone through so much to save her, she could only remember it in her heart.
"Eh? The connection has strengthened! That's great! "
Just as Gu Zheng was holding up a huge flame, Wen Tianhou, who had been bitterly searching for the last trace of aura, was ecstatic. He followed the strong connection and rushed up. This time, he successfully made contact with the last trace of aura.
However, just as he was about to bring it back, he felt a huge pulling force that wanted to stop him.
"I don't care who you are, come here."
Wen Tianhou felt that the pulling force on his side was getting stronger and stronger. At the same time, the connection seemed to be dimming. He made up his mind and unleashed all of his strength. No one could stop him from getting what he wanted. If anyone was unhappy, they could come find him and fight him.
At this moment, the flames that were bursting out from Gu Zheng's side were also gradually dimming. He did not continue to release the remaining Cleansing Fire because after this explosion, he knew that the Cleansing Fire could not do anything to this formation. After all, its power was mainly used to kill the enemy and not to break the formation.
Every skill had its own specialization. No matter how powerful the Cleansing Fire was, it had to come into contact with the opponent to unleash its greatest power. If one wanted to break the formation, the Cleansing Fire could only be destroyed if it directly burned the core of the formation.
"Great Elder, it seems that the other party has given up struggling." Seeing that the flames on Gu Zheng's side were getting weaker and weaker, an elder congratulated him.
The other elders also chuckled. Although there had been a slight hiccup in the process, the result was still the same.
"Later, lock up this young man separately. As for that Painting Soul, just hand it over. To the outside world, tell them that the person who came to rescue is already dead. He was killed by me." The Great Elder revealed a faint smile. He waited for everyone's voices to die down before making the arrangements.
"Understood. No one here will say a word."
The others naturally did not know that the Great Elder wanted to squeeze out the last remaining value from this young man. In particular, the set of magic treasures on him could actually allow one's cultivation to increase infinitely. How could they not be tempted? However, they all knew that only the Great Elder had the right to do so.
The Great Elder looked at Gu Zheng with satisfaction. Once the other party's flames were a little weaker, the bubble in the air would forcibly trap him.
But right at that moment, a horrifying aura suddenly appeared in the air. Even the Great Elder felt as though he was floating in front of the other party. A black arm suddenly stretched out from the void and grabbed at Gu Zheng with its palm.
"Meng Zhen!"
Gu Zheng only managed to grab her in time. At the same time, a huge layer of flames appeared on his body again, surrounding him and Meng Zhen. In the next moment, the two of them were caught by the huge palm. Then, the arm returned to the void again.
Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen had disappeared from where they were originally. They had been captured by the other party.
"People from the Soul Race. Why did they interfere? What is the meaning of this?"
The moment the black arm stretched out, the aura of the Soul Race was extremely obvious. Everyone knew who the other party was. It seemed to be somewhat familiar. After thinking for a while, they remembered who the other party was.
"It's Wen Tianhou. Why did he capture them?"
Everyone was furious. This was a matter of the Ghost Race. Even if they were on good terms, they should not have interfered directly. Moreover, it was someone at Wen Tianhou's level. One had to know that they had almost captured him and snatched the credit away from them.
"Wait, isn't Wen Tianhou over there? Why did he take action to bring them back? "
Suddenly, someone reacted and asked in puzzlement.
"That's right. Could it be that he did not know that they had been captured by us and that she had something important on her, so he brought them back by force?" Someone was very smart and had almost guessed the truth.
"Stop talking. I'll report this to the higher-ups. Anyway, it was the Soul Race who took action, not us."
The cooked duck had flown away. The Great Elder was also depressed. However, he knew that this was no longer something that they could interfere with.
Since the other party had disappeared, it was useless to do anything.
After all, the Ghost Race had spent a lot of effort to capture one. In the end, Wen Tianhou had brought her back. It was probably impossible to send her over.
Some people recalled what they had said previously. The other party had nowhere to run and was dragged back by their own people. They sighed and returned to their own places.
However, everyone remembered this audacious and strange man with a strong cultivation base.
.....
"Why is there an attack from above? Are they unwilling to accept this and want to take the opportunity to attack me? "
When Wen Tianhou received the item in his hand, he was overjoyed. However, he soon realized that there was a very threatening attack from above. If he were to pull it back, he would probably be in trouble.
If it could make him feel threatened, then it was definitely not weak. After taking a look at the weak Little Ying, he shook it and peeled it off into the Black Prison. As for where it landed and what happened, he did not care.
Soon, a green light crossed the endless void and arrived in his palm. A lantern that flickered with green light was faintly discernible in his hand.
"Haha, very good. This is the same. The last piece of our territory is finally completed. Our Soul Race will definitely stand at the peak." Wen Tianhou admired the green lantern in his hand and could not help but laugh.
Without hesitation, he tossed the weapon in his hand up. Little Ying, who was in a daze, caught it firmly. One of her hands was at the end, while the other was in the middle. She looked like a wandering god patrolling the night.
"From now on, I'm your master. You'll have to listen to my orders."
Half a day later, Wen Tianhou had completely merged the lantern with her. As he spoke, he tapped on her forehead.
When Little Ying was tapped, her lifeless eyes instantly became lively. They were no longer as stiff as before. As if a new soul had been injected into her, she bowed to Wen Tianhou.
"Greetings, Master!"
"Very good, very good, very good."
Wen Tianhou looked at Little Ying and said with satisfaction.
At this moment, Little Ying's appearance did not change much. However, after fusing with three spiritual artifacts, she had her own white calves. She no longer looked like a ghost and had completely broken away from the identity of a Demon Soul.
Or rather, it was not wrong to call her a magical treasure.
"Now, use all your strength to recover your cultivation and wait for my call."
Wen Tianhou ordered. He walked to the side and sat down, closing his eyes.
During this period of time, he had been freakishly light in the sky. It was time for him to have a good rest and recover. The injuries from the previous battle had not been completely healed. However, he had the support of recovery, so his recovery was much faster than her.
Her current upper limit was not her own cultivation. It could be said that she had been forcibly raised to a new level. Her cultivation was not very high, but there was unlimited room for growth.
"Yes, Master."
Little Ying bowed respectfully again and slowly retreated. She returned to her previous position and stood there quietly. The surrounding black fog continued to surge into her body. Soon, she had turned into a black cocoon.
Similarly, the lantern was surrounded. A blue light emitted from it. After sensing the surrounding aura, it began to greedily devour it.
The blue light quickly doubled in size. However, it was unable to continue devouring the lantern. After sensing the familiar aura, it climbed up the lantern and moved forward.
As for Xiao Ying's eyes, she also lowered her head to look at it the moment it appeared. There seemed to be a familiar aura within it. She should have destroyed this weak blue light with a wave of her hand, but she just stared blankly at it. She watched as the other party slowly moved along her weapon, up her arm, shoulder, and finally slid into her heart, before burrowing into it.
The golden light, which had been completely suppressed in the bottom of its heart, sensed the aura entering Little Ying's body. It used the last of its strength to resist, and the entire golden light flickered inside.
If one looked carefully from the outside, they would see that Little Ying's body was covered by a layer of golden light. However, there was a layer of black fog outside, which completely isolated her from prying eyes. Even Little Ying's body was frozen in place, and her eyes lost their luster once again.
When the golden light was about to dim, the blue light had followed the aura and arrived here. It looked curiously at the golden light, and then its entire body coiled around it.
At this moment, the golden light retracted all of its strength. It quietly relied on the blue light to absorb the incomparably pure and extraordinary energy from its opponent's body.
Soon, the blue light felt that it was' hungry '. It looked around and once again tried to devour its opponent. After eating and drinking to its heart's content, it stopped beside the golden light again, not knowing that it was absorbing its strength.
As for this blue light, it was the combination of the two energies that Gu Zheng had used the lantern to hide in Little Yu's body in order to avoid it. It contained Little Yu's natural devouring instinct, Little Ying's aura left on it, and most importantly, Gu Zheng's aura.
If this blue light devoured the black fog, with its weak energy, it would quickly be assimilated by the other party. However, something was constantly absorbing its unconverted energy to strengthen itself, and it was completely unaware of it.
After an unknown amount of time, Little Ying, who was in a daze, closed her eyes. The golden light, which was only the size of a fingernail, had completely occupied her heart. Outside her heart, a layer of faint blue light was tightly attached to it. Not only did it block the invasion and prying eyes of the outside world, it was also constantly converting the energy from the outside world.
The lantern in her hand was raised again, and the extinguished candlelight inside was weakly lit up again, illuminating those pure eyes.
"Serve, master … person, no … Young … Master Gu."
.....
"Bam bam."
The sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground almost sounded at the same time.
In the center of the Dark Domain, on an empty space not far from the Soul River, a man and a woman were lying quietly on the ground. Upon closer inspection, they were Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen. However, the two of them were currently unconscious and lying on the ground.
Gu Zheng didn't have any protection on his body, but Meng Zhen had a layer of scroll on her body. A layer of faint fluorescent light surrounded her body. When she landed on the ground, the entire scroll rose automatically and flew to a height of three feet in the air, and automatically unfolded on top of it.
This time, the entire scroll seemed to be endless. It directly circled above her head and connected head to tail. Different sceneries appeared on top of it. This time, not only did it appear at the same place as before, but there were also various lifelike strange beasts that were drawn on top of it.
Among them, there was a painting that looked like a cave. It actually jumped out from the scroll and separated itself from the scroll. It turned into a shadow and directly landed in the center.
Layers of faint white light, which was filled with rich spiritual energy, fell from the shadow and landed evenly on Meng Zhen's body. As for Gu Zheng, who was a palm away, it didn't land on him at all.
Not far away, a figure was hurrying on his way. Suddenly, he felt a strong aura from the side. It immediately attracted his attention and made him stop to take a closer look.
"It seems to be a treasure."
The man felt the aura and his face lit up with joy. He turned his head and rushed in that direction. Not long after, he saw a huge scroll in the air. A huge shadow that couldn't be seen clearly was in mid-air. White light spots kept falling down and landed below.
Below, a man and a woman were lying unconscious on the ground.
In fact, when he saw this, he already wanted to leave.
It wasn't some strange treasure, but someone else's treasure. If he wasn't wrong, the owner of this painting was from the Painting Soul Clan. Not to mention how noble their status was, he had heard more than once that he had to show respect to their clan. Their status was very high. Even if he killed them, their treasure would be damaged, and they wouldn't be able to use it.
However, when he glanced at the man below and was about to leave, he froze on the spot.
The expression on his face was rich. There was surprise, anger, shock and disbelief.
He knew the other party, but this was the first time he saw him.
From the memories of his captured subordinates, he had a complete appearance of the other party. When he asked around, he even sneaked into the group of captives to get information. He knew that the other party was behind all of this. The other party took the opportunity to take away the things that he offered. The other party was involved in all of this.
It could be said that if it wasn't for the other party causing trouble and ambushing from the side, Elder Gu's forces might have been uprooted.
He wouldn't have been like a stray dog, hiding everywhere, afraid that the other party would use him as a scapegoat.
Of course, it was also because of the other party that he got to know Lord Soul. Compared to before, his status was much higher.
However, he wouldn't thank the other party. He knew that the other party was only in the early stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm and had a Spiritual Guard in the middle stage. However, he had absolute confidence in dealing with the other party. Seeing that the other party was unconscious, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he let go of such an excellent opportunity.
