In the living room.
Fang Jie was standing in the middle, telling Madam Xue about what had happened after he left.
Gu Zheng was already sitting next to Pan Xuan, smiling as if he was carefully listening. Pan Xuan also seemed to be listening, but her eyes would occasionally glance to the side.
As for Young Master Feng, he lowered his head and played with the empty teacup in his hand, thinking about something.
Only Madam Xue was listening to Fang Jie's report, not noticing the strange atmosphere.
"So that's how it is. You've worked hard this time. Go and rest."
There wasn't much to do, so Fang Jie quickly finished his story. He even briefly mentioned that Gu Zheng had brought him back. He seemed to understand that Gu Zheng seemed to be very important to Madam Xue. No wonder she had helped them. It wasn't time for them to die.
After receiving Madam Xue's instructions, Fang Jie took one last look at Gu Zheng before leaving.
"Although there were some twists and turns this time, the mission was still completed. The other side has already taken the letter, but will they cause any trouble for you?" Madam Xue turned around and said to Young Master Feng.
"Don't worry, no matter how many people come, they won't be able to return. When that happens, our next batch of reinforcements will arrive." Young Master Feng put down the teacup in his hand and looked up confidently.
"That's good. I have some people nearby. Do you want to send them over? They can at least help you."
"Hm?" Young Master Feng thought for a moment and didn't refuse this time. "Alright, I'll leave your people outside to stop the other side from breaking out."
He thought that if the other side came, he would leave one or a few people outside. In order to prevent any fish from escaping, he didn't refuse and directly agreed to help.
While they were chatting, Pan Xuan also started to talk to Gu Zheng.
"Why are you so late? Why do I feel like something's wrong with your body? Are you injured? "
"There was an accident. I went to save someone." Gu Zheng turned to look at the increasingly beautiful Pan Xuan and said softly, "But how can you tell that I'm injured?"
"Are you really injured?" Pan Xuan's eyes widened as she asked in disbelief.
Initially, she only felt that there was something wrong with the other party's body, but she didn't think too much about it. She just subconsciously made a joke and took the opportunity to chat with the other party. She really didn't expect that the other party was really injured when she thought that he was using some kind of cultivation technique.
"Where are you hurt?"
Seeing that Pan Xuan's upper body was about to reach over, wanting to see where she was injured, Gu Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart. Even though he had talked it out, it seemed that the other party had not let go of him. However, he knew what he had to do.
"Yes, I went to save someone, but I was injured by that person. Someone helped me treat it, but there are still some roots that can't be removed." Gu Zheng briefly explained the matter, pointing to his abdomen.
"Let me take a look!" This time, Pan Xuan directly grabbed Gu Zheng's arm, and without waiting for Gu Zheng to object, a force entered his body through his arm.
Young Master Feng, who was chatting with Madam Xue, saw this scene and his expression changed. However, he didn't say anything and continued chatting with Madam Xue. The latter secretly glanced to the side and knew what had happened. She sighed inwardly and pretended not to see anything.
Pan Xuan knew that the other party's feelings were, but the two of them could not be together. She had deduced this from some of the details, and this Young Master Feng seemed to have some thoughts about her.
However, she didn't ask about the complicated relationship between them, so she continued chatting with Young Master Feng as if nothing had happened.
"The power in your body is really his power. Who is the other party? Why would you do this? It was so dangerous. I felt like you almost died." Pan Xuan pulled her hand back, a layer of worry appearing on her face.
"The other party saved my life and helped my friend. To save the other party's life, I had to save her. But you see, I didn't come back safely." Gu Zheng didn't mind. In that situation, there was no way he wouldn't save her. It was just a small mistake. "I also want you to help me this time."
"To think that there would be a day when you would ask me for help." Hearing Gu Zheng's words, an imperceptible smile flashed across Pan Xuan's face, but she quickly put it away and snorted.
"Yes, I won't be able to deal with it in a short time, so I can only come and see if you have any ideas." Seeing her expression, Gu Zheng naturally knew what she was thinking, so he played along.
"I took a look at your body just now. It's not that there's no way, but it's a bit troublesome and will take some time. When the time comes, I'll definitely get rid of it for you."
Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Pan Xuan felt very satisfied. If she remembered correctly, this was the first time he had come to ask her for help since they met.
Although she made it sound easy, it was actually very troublesome. Fortunately, she had a treasure in her hands, and there was only a strand of uncontrollable power in Gu Zheng's body. Moreover, the majority of it had already been sorted out and dealt with. Moreover, it was obvious that the owner of the power did not target him. Otherwise, he would have long exploded and died.
Even if he didn't die, there was no way he could sit here and talk to her.
"I'll leave it to you. Then I'm relieved. As long as it's done before the competition, it'll be fine." Gu Zheng relaxed and trusted her.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to cure you before then. Because of those demon souls, it's been quite troublesome these days. Don't go out, it's better to be safe at this time." Pan Xuan stood up and walked to Madam Xue's side. "He's already here, go tell him about the situation here."
"Okay, Young Noble Feng, I'll leave it to you when the time comes." Madam Xue agreed and said to Young Noble Feng again before leaving.
"Feng Xiaoming!" Pan Xuan grinned as she came to Young Noble Feng's side and gritted her teeth.
"Call me Young Noble Feng!" Young Noble Feng's mouth twitched as he raised his head and glared at her.
Feng Xiaoming was such a childish name. It was his original name, but he didn't dare to change it. It was given to him by the ancestor himself. Although he later learned that it was just a random name, he called himself Young Noble Feng and rarely called him by his real name. Basically, those with lower status than him all called him Young Noble Feng.
Those with higher status also knew that this name didn't suit him, so they liked to call him Little Feng to show their friendliness. It sounded better than Feng Xiaoming.
"Feng Xiaoming, Feng Xiaoming, let me tell you something." Pan Xuan wasn't afraid of his ugly expression at all. She took a small step forward and appeared in front of him again as she whispered.
At least this voice couldn't be heard by anyone other than him.
"Are you helping him?" Young Master Feng asked as he glanced over from the corner of his eye.
"He's injured. I need a drop of your essence blood so I can make medicine." Pan Xuan's face was still smiling. Her big eyes swayed as she nodded her head. They looked like twinkling stars in the sky, constantly swaying.
She didn't hide anything. Her meaning was too obvious. Young Noble Feng didn't even need to guess to know.
"Help him? Is his injury that serious? " Young Noble Feng looked at Gu Zheng, who was talking and laughing with Madam Xue. Although the exquisite face in front of him made him feel suffocated, he still said disdainfully.
"No, but he needs my help right now." Pan Xuan's smile faded. She said seriously, "If you don't help me, I'll use my own blood."
"Don't, as long as you promise me one small thing." Young Noble Feng saw that she was about to turn around and immediately stopped her.
If he really used her essence blood and the ancestor or others found out, he would be punished afterwards.
"What is it?" Pan Xuan stood still and said expressionlessly.
"Can you not call my name in the future? If not, I can accept you calling me Little Feng." Young Noble Feng said helplessly.
"No problem. Little Feng, give it to me!" Pan Xuan's face immediately bloomed like a flower. She smiled at him and stretched out her hand. Her meaning was obvious.
"Why do I feel like you've planned this?" Seeing Pan Xuan's sudden change in attitude, Young Noble Feng was stunned. However, he still opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of essence blood.
As soon as it left his mouth, Pan Xuan snatched it away with lightning speed and disappeared.
"Thanks!"
Pan Xuan was clearly in a good mood. After leaving these words, she walked towards Gu Zheng.
"I didn't think that the first time I thanked someone would be because of this." Young Noble Feng muttered as he felt a gentle breeze blow past his cheek.
If his subordinates saw this, they would be taken aback. Who would have thought that the cold-blooded and cruel Young Noble Feng actually had a soft side?
"You came at the right time. I just heard from Madam Xue that you had some plan that could bring most of you here. But I don't really understand."
Gu Zheng had been paying attention to Pan Xuan. He hoped that she would talk to him about something, but he didn't think that she would directly ask for a drop of essence blood. Didn't she see that Young Noble Feng's face had turned pale?
"Oh, I'm not very clear about that plan either. Why, do you have any ideas?" Pan Xuan pointed at Young Noble Feng.
"A little, but whether or not it's possible still needs to be discussed. We're all friends now, and helping you is helping me." Gu Zheng nodded. Madam Xue had casually mentioned a few things, and he had roughly understood. He instantly remembered that he had five rings, but he didn't know if it was possible.
Of course, he was thinking of something else. If Young Noble Feng could bring most of his clansmen back, even if their ancestor didn't come, it would greatly attract Wen Tianhou's attention. This way, his chances of rescuing Xiao Ying would be greater.
If he could seal Young Noble Feng out, it would be a heaven-sent opportunity. Even if he didn't like Young Noble Feng, he decided to contribute his strength.
"I'll call him over for you." Pan Xuan immediately ignored the fact that Young Noble Feng was her companion and turned to walk towards him.
"Little Feng, come here. I have something to ask of you. Explain your plan to him. Gu Zheng seems to have a plan."
"Really?" Young Noble Feng's eyes lit up, and he stood up.
"It should be true. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me to invite you over." Pan Xuan nodded. She felt that Young Noble Feng must have a plan.
Young Noble Feng didn't care about being reserved. He directly went up and began to chat with Gu Zheng.
To him, there was only one way. Whether it was good or bad, as long as he could complete the ancestor's mission, he would try anything. Moreover, Gu Zheng no longer had any enmity with their clan.
Even if he did, after Gu Zheng brought Pan Xuan here, it was completely gone. Not to mention, the ancestor had a good impression of this person who escaped.
"It shouldn't be a problem. I have five rings, and it has a second function." After hearing Young Noble Feng's thoughts, Gu Zheng immediately took off his five rings and showed them to Young Noble Feng. At the same time, he explained in detail the functions of the five rings.
Of course, he only told him the first two functions. There was no way he could explain the third, especially the second one. This was what Young Noble Feng was interested in.
After hearing this, Young Master Feng's eyes lit up as he looked at the five rings. He clicked his tongue and praised, "Truly monstrous. If I'm not mistaken, this set of magic treasures was definitely refined by someone with the same cultivation level as the Ancestor. The material used is definitely Innate Five Elemental Stone. Moreover, it seems like it will evolve later on."
"Just tell me if it's possible. If it's possible, I'll lend it to you temporarily." After hearing his analysis, Gu Zheng was secretly shocked. He didn't even know the details of the five rings, but Young Noble Feng guessed it so accurately in such a short time.
At this time, he felt that the senior who gave him this treasure was really generous. He didn't even think about how useful the one he gave him was. No wonder at that time, he felt that the other things were bad, and only this set of magic treasures could be used.
However, he also felt that the five rings weren't bad. Although it wasn't super powerful, it was still very powerful among ordinary magic treasures. What made him even more satisfied was that it seemed to be able to be used against any enemy in any situation. It had a wide range of applicability.
"Absolutely no problem. This time, I'm borrowing your treasure. If something goes wrong, don't blame me." Young Noble Feng looked at Gu Zheng's five rings and smiled.
"I've already accepted your loan. Do you think I'm afraid?" Gu Zheng chuckled.
He was lending it to Young Noble Feng, and he still needed to teach him how to control it. However, if there was any damage, he could forcibly stop it at any time. Young Noble Feng must be well aware of this.
"Haha, don't worry. I won't take your benefits for free. I just happen to have a set of Five Elements Stone. Although it's not very strong, it can still improve your magic treasure a little. Just in time for all of our people to come over." Young Noble Feng smiled.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Gu Zheng said hypocritically. In the face of the temptation to improve his strength, he couldn't bear to be polite. What if Young Noble Feng rejected him? Therefore, he thickened his face and agreed.
"This will take a lot of time. After I deal with those fellows, I'll personally arrange it. I'll make sure the other party doesn't notice." Young Noble Feng stood up and said goodbye to Gu Zheng.
"Everything will go smoothly." Gu Zheng smiled.
"This time, I have to thank you. Now, my heart can finally be at ease." Pan Xuan said with emotion.
She knew how important this place was to the Old Ancestor. Now, all of the Asura clansmen outside were rushing back. Not far from the Blood Sea, some of the elite clansmen and half of the elders were waiting.
"Helping you is the same as helping me. However, I'm very puzzled as to why the Demon Soul would take advantage of this opportunity to attack you. You should know that although you're gathered together, this place is also a place of defense. You're not just looking for trouble." Gu Zheng waved his hand and asked in confusion.
"I don't understand either. If it wasn't for the news you brought, I wouldn't even know that the demons outside want to use this opportunity to eliminate us." Madam Xue looked at the sleeping child in her arms and adjusted her posture before speaking.
"I know a bit about this. It's actually very simple. It's because they can't leave this place. Once they're defeated one by one, Soul Alliance's people may escape even further away. Their servant puppets can chase, but if they chase, their strength will be greatly reduced. Even if they lose a bit more, as long as they can eliminate us all, it's worth it." Pan Xuan interrupted.
"Why didn't Soul Alliance run further away when it was established?" Gu Zheng still didn't understand.
"Back then, this place was already far enough away from Soul Alliance. Further out, there were countless black mists that were extremely dangerous. Now, there are none. Moreover, even at the limits of exploration, there aren't any of the initial black mists. It's just that no one went there." Madam Xue explained.
Although she wasn't here back then, she still knew this information.
"No wonder there aren't many cities near here." Gu Zheng said thoughtfully.
"Madam, Alliance Master has sent people over." At this time, the servant outside came in again to report, "He wants all the City Lords who came here to gather at his place in six hours."
"Understood. Tell him that I'll definitely be there on time." Madam Xue nodded at the servant.
"At this time, is everyone here?" Pan Xuan asked from the side.
After coming here, to prevent others from seeing through her, she basically didn't go out. Even here, she usually lived in seclusion and didn't spend much time outside. She didn't know what was going on in the outside world. Anyways, everything was explained to Young Master Feng. She just had to protect Madam Xue.
"It's about time. There's not much time left. Even if they don't want to, those people will still give Alliance Master face. Otherwise, Soul Alliance will completely disband. When that happens, no one will have an advantage. The other party suddenly notified everyone." Madam Xue thought for a moment before speaking.
"Do you still want to remind them?" Pan Xuan couldn't help but ask.
Madam Xue had already sent the message up. Unfortunately, the higher ups didn't seem to take it seriously. After a cursory investigation, they didn't find anything and stopped asking.
"Of course. While everyone's here, if they don't believe us, even if we have to be slightly wary, it'll be worth it. Even if they believe us, they won't immediately disband. The demons won't give up on attacking either." Madam Xue said matter-of-factly.
Before the shura species arrived, they needed Soul Alliance to attract their attention.
Now, Soul Alliance had to rely on this to mediate the various conflicts. Otherwise, they would definitely disband. When that time came, even without the demons attacking, there would be endless internal battles and they would be defeated by themselves.
The best result would be to split into several small circles. They would either be defeated one by one or flee far away. When that happened, the demons wouldn't care about them.
Of course, before that happened, the Demonic Soul would easily wipe them out.
The demons were playing an open scheme. They just didn't expose themselves and gave the other side a sliver of hope.
"Then I won't go. Leave the child to me. I can concoct something." Pan Xuan nodded. She knew this was to explain to Gu Zheng, afraid he wouldn't understand.
"Young Master Gu, you can come too. This time, we'll probably discuss something. You need to understand it." Madam Xue nodded and turned around. In the living room.
Currently, Fang Jie was standing in the middle, telling Madam Xue about what happened after he left.
Gu Zheng was already sitting next to Pan Xuan. He had a slight smile on his face and seemed to be listening carefully. Pan Xuan was next to him and seemed to be listening as well, but her eyes would occasionally glance to the side.
As for Young Master Feng, he had his head down and was playing with the empty teacup in his hand. No one knew what he was thinking.
Only Madam Xue was seriously listening to Fang Jie's report. She didn't notice the strange atmosphere in the air.
"So that's the case. You've worked hard this time. Go and rest."
There wasn't much to do, so Fang Jie quickly finished his story. He even briefly mentioned that Gu Zheng had brought him back. He seemed to understand that Gu Zheng seemed to have a lot of weight in front of Madam Xue. No wonder he would save them. Their lives weren't meant to end here.
After receiving Madam Xue's orders, Fang Jie took one last look at Gu Zheng before leaving.
Madam Xue turned and said to Young Master Feng, "Although there were some twists and turns this time, the mission was still completed. The other side has already taken the letter. However, will they cause any trouble for you?"
Young Master Feng put down the teacup in his hand and said confidently, "Don't worry. No matter how many people come, they won't be able to return. When that happens, our next batch of reinforcements will arrive."
"That's good. I have some people nearby. Do you want to send them over? At least they can help you."
"Hm?" Young Master Feng thought for a moment and didn't refuse this time. "Alright, I'll leave your people outside to stop the other side from breaking out."
He thought that if the other side came, he would leave one or a few people outside. In order to prevent any fish from escaping, he didn't refuse and directly agreed to help.
While they were chatting, Pan Xuan also started to talk to Gu Zheng.
"Why are you so late? Why do I feel like something's wrong with your body? Are you injured? "
"There was an accident. I went to save someone." Gu Zheng turned to look at the increasingly beautiful Pan Xuan and said softly, "But how can you tell that I'm injured?"
"You're really injured?" Pan Xuan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Originally, she only felt that there was something wrong with his body, but didn't think too much about it. She just subconsciously made a joke and used it as an excuse to chat with him. She really didn't expect that he was really injured when she thought that he was using some kind of cultivation technique.
"Where are you injured?"
Seeing Pan Xuan's upper body about to reach over to see where he was injured, Gu Zheng bitterly smiled. Even after talking to her, it seemed that she still wouldn't let go of him. However, he knew what he had to do.
"Yes, I went to save someone, but I was injured by that person. Someone helped me treat it, but there are still some roots that can't be removed." Gu Zheng gave a simple explanation of what happened and pointed to his abdomen.
"Let me take a look!" This time, Pan Xuan directly grabbed Gu Zheng's arm. Before Gu Zheng could say anything, a wave of energy entered his body through his arm.
Young Master Feng, who was chatting with Madam Xue, saw this scene and his expression changed. However, he didn't say anything and continued chatting with Madam Xue. Madam Xue secretly glanced to the side and knew what had happened. She sighed inwardly and pretended not to see anything.
Pan Xuan knew what Young Master Feng was thinking, but the two of them couldn't be together. She had deduced this from some details, and this Young Master Feng seemed to have some thoughts about her.
However, she didn't ask about the complicated relationship, so she continued chatting with Young Master Feng as if nothing had happened.
"The energy in your body is really his energy. Who is that person? Why would you do this? It was so dangerous. I felt like you almost died." Pan Xuan pulled her hand back, a layer of worry appearing on her face.
"That person saved my life and helped my friend. To save that person's life, I had to save her. But you see, I didn't come back safely." Gu Zheng didn't mind. In that situation, it was impossible for him to not save her. It was just a small mistake. "I also want you to help me this time."
"To think that there would be a day when you would ask me for help." Pan Xuan's face flashed with an imperceptible smile when she heard Gu Zheng's words, but she quickly put it away and harrumphed.
"Yes, I can't do it in a short amount of time, so I can only come and see if you have any ideas." Gu Zheng naturally knew what Pan Xuan was thinking and played along.
"I took a look at that thing of yours just now. It's not that there's no way, but it's a bit troublesome and will take some time. When the time comes, I'll definitely get rid of it for you."
Pan Xuan felt very satisfied after hearing Gu Zheng's words. If she remembered correctly, this was the first time he had come to ask her for help since they met.
Although she made it sound easy, it was actually very troublesome. Fortunately, she had a treasure in her hand. Gu Zheng only had a strand of uncontrollable energy in his body, and most of it had already been sorted out and dealt with. Moreover, it was obvious that the owner of the energy didn't target him. Otherwise, he would have exploded long ago and died.
Even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be sitting here talking to her.
"I'll leave it to you. Then I'm relieved. It'll be fine as long as it's done before the competition." Gu Zheng said in a relaxed manner, trusting her.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely cure you before then. Because of those demon souls, it's been quite troublesome these days. Don't go out. It's better to be safe at this time." Pan Xuan stood up and walked to Madam Xue's side. "He's already here. Go tell him about the situation here."
"Okay, Young Noble Feng, I'll leave it to you when the time comes." Madam Xue agreed and told Young Noble Feng one more time before leaving.
"Feng Xiaoming!" Pan Xuan grinned as she came to Young Noble Feng's side and gritted her teeth.
"Call me Young Noble Feng!" The corner of Young Noble Feng's mouth twitched. He raised his head and glared at her.
Feng Xiaoming was such a childish name. It was his original name, but he didn't dare to change it. It was personally given to him by the ancestor. Although he later learned that it was a random name, he called himself Young Noble Feng and rarely called him by his real name. Basically, those with lower status than him all called him Young Noble Feng.
Those with higher status also knew that this name didn't suit him. They liked to call him Xiaofeng to show their friendliness. It sounded better than Feng Xiaoming.
"Feng Xiaoming, Feng Xiaoming, let me tell you something." Pan Xuan wasn't afraid of his ugly expression. She took a small step forward and appeared before him again.
At least, no one else could hear this voice except for him.
"Are you going to help him?" Young Noble Feng glanced over and asked.
"He's injured. I need a drop of your essence blood. I'll be able to make medicine." Pan Xuan was still grinning. Her large eyes swayed as she nodded. They looked like twinkling stars in the sky.
She didn't hide it. Her meaning was too obvious. He didn't need to guess to know.

"What is it?" Pan Xuan stood still and said expressionlessly.
"Can you not call me by my name in the future? If not, I can accept you calling me Little Feng." Young Noble Feng said helplessly.
"No problem. Little Feng, give it to me!" Pan Xuan's face immediately bloomed like a flower. She smiled at him and extended her hand. Her meaning was obvious.
"Why do I feel like you've planned this?" Seeing Pan Xuan's sudden change in attitude, Young Noble Feng was stunned. However, he still opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of essence blood.
As soon as it left his mouth, Pan Xuan snatched it away with lightning speed and disappeared.
"Thanks!"
Pan Xuan was clearly in a good mood. After leaving this sentence, she walked over to Gu Zheng.
"I didn't expect my first thanks to be for this," Young Noble Feng muttered as he felt a gentle breeze blow past his cheek.
If his subordinates saw this, they would be taken aback. Who would have thought that the cold-blooded and cruel Young Noble Feng actually had a soft side?
"You came at the right time. I just heard from Madam Xue that you have a plan that can bring most of you here. But I don't quite understand."
Gu Zheng had been paying attention to Pan Xuan. He had hoped that she would discuss some matters with him, but he didn't expect her to directly ask for a drop of essence blood. Didn't she see that Young Noble Feng's face had turned pale?
"Oh, I'm not very clear about that plan either. What, do you have any ideas?" Pan Xuan pointed at Young Noble Feng.
"A little, but whether or not it's possible still needs to be discussed. We're all friends now. Helping you is helping me." Gu Zheng nodded. Madam Xue had casually mentioned a few things just now. He had a rough idea and instantly remembered that he had five rings. But whether or not it was possible, he didn't know.
Of course, he was thinking about something else. If Young Noble Feng could bring most of his clansmen back, even if their ancestor didn't come, it would greatly attract Wen Tianhou's attention. This way, his chances of rescuing Little Ying would be greater.
If he could force Young Noble Feng out, it would be a heaven-sent opportunity. Even if he didn't like Young Noble Feng, he decided to contribute his strength.
"I'll call him over for you." Pan Xuan immediately ignored the fact that Young Noble Feng was her companion and turned to walk towards him.
"Little Feng, come here. I have something to ask of you. Explain to him your previous idea. Gu Zheng seems to have a way."
"Really?" Young Noble Feng's eyes lit up and he stood up.
"It should be true. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me to invite you over." Pan Xuan nodded. She felt that Young Noble Feng must have a way.
Young Noble Feng couldn't care less about being reserved. He went up and started chatting with Gu Zheng.
To him, there was only one way. Whether it was good or bad, as long as he could complete the ancestor's mission, he would try anything. Besides, Gu Zheng no longer had any enmity with their clan.
Even if there had been some enmity, it was completely gone after Gu Zheng brought Pan Xuan here. Not to mention, the ancestor had a good impression of this person who escaped.
"It shouldn't be a problem. I have five rings, and it has a second function." After listening to Young Noble Feng's idea, Gu Zheng immediately took off his five rings and showed them to Young Noble Feng. At the same time, he explained the functions of the five rings in detail.
Of course, he only told him the first two functions. The third one was impossible. Especially the second one, he explained it in detail. This was what Young Noble Feng was interested in.
After hearing this, Young Master Feng's eyes lit up as he looked at the five rings. He clicked his tongue and praised, "Truly monstrous. If I'm not mistaken, this set of magic treasures was definitely refined by someone with the same cultivation level as the Ancestor. The material used is definitely Innate Five Elemental Stone. Moreover, it seems like it will evolve later on."
"Just tell me if it's possible or not. If it's possible, I'll lend it to you temporarily." After listening to his analysis, Gu Zheng was secretly shocked. He didn't even know the details of the five rings, but Young Noble Feng guessed it so accurately in such a short time.
At this time, he felt more and more that the senior who gave him this treasure was really generous. He didn't think that the one he gave Young Noble Feng was that useful. No wonder at that time, he felt that the other things were bad and only this set of magic treasures could be used.
However, he also felt that the five rings were not bad. Although it wasn't super powerful, it was still very powerful among ordinary magic treasures. What made him even more satisfied was that it seemed to be able to be used against any enemy in any situation. It had a wide range of applicability.
"Absolutely no problem. This time, I'm borrowing your treasure. If something goes wrong, don't blame me." Young Noble Feng looked at Gu Zheng's five rings and smiled.
"I've already accepted your loan. Do you think I'm afraid?" Gu Zheng chuckled.
He was lending it to Young Noble Feng, and he still needed to teach him how to control it. However, if there was any damage, he could forcibly stop it at any time. Young Noble Feng must be well aware of this.
"Haha, don't worry. I won't take your benefits for free. I just happen to have a set of Five Elements Stone. Although it's not very strong, it can still improve your magic treasure a little. Just in time for all the people on our side to come over." Young Noble Feng laughed.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Gu Zheng said hypocritically. In the face of the temptation to improve his strength, he couldn't bear to be polite. What if Young Noble Feng refused? Therefore, he thickened his face and agreed.
"This will still take a lot of time. After I deal with those fellows, I'll personally arrange it. I'll make sure the other side doesn't notice." Young Noble Feng stood up and said goodbye to Gu Zheng.
"Everything will go smoothly." Gu Zheng smiled.
"This time, I have to thank you. Now, my heart can finally be at ease." Pan Xuan said with emotion.
She knew how important this place was to the Old Ancestor. Now, all the Asura clansmen outside had to rush back. Not far from the Blood Sea, some of the elite clansmen and half of the elders were waiting.

"I know a bit about this. It's actually very simple. It's because they can't leave this place. Once they're defeated one by one, Soul Alliance's people may escape even further. Their servant puppets can chase, but if they chase, their strength will be greatly reduced. Even if they lose a bit more, as long as they can eliminate us all, it's worth it." Pan Xuan interrupted from the side.
"Why didn't Soul Alliance run further when it was established?" Gu Zheng still didn't understand.
"Back then, this place was already far enough from Soul Alliance. Further out, there were countless black mists that were extremely dangerous. Now, there are none. Moreover, even at the limits of exploration, there aren't any of the initial black mists. It's just that no one went there." Madam Xue explained.
Although she wasn't here back then, she still knew this information.
"No wonder there aren't many cities near here." Gu Zheng said thoughtfully.
"Madam, Alliance Master has sent people over." At this moment, the servant outside came in again to report, "He wants all the city lords here to gather at his place in six hours."
"Understood. Tell him that I'll definitely be there on time." Madam Xue nodded at the servant.
"At this time, is everyone here?" Pan Xuan asked from the side.
After coming here, in order to prevent others from seeing through her, she basically didn't go out. Even here, she usually lived in seclusion and didn't spend much time outside. She didn't know about the outside world. Anyways, everything was explained to Young Master Feng. She just needed to protect Madam Xue.
"It's about time. There's not much time left. Even if they don't want to, those people will still give Alliance Master face. Otherwise, Soul Alliance will completely disband. When that happens, no one will have an advantage. The other party suddenly notified, so I'm afraid everyone is here." Madam Xue thought for a moment before speaking.
"Do you still need to remind them?" Pan Xuan couldn't help but ask.
Madam Xue had already sent the message up. Unfortunately, the higher ups didn't seem to take it seriously. After a cursory investigation, they didn't find anything and stopped asking.
"Of course. While everyone's here, whether they believe us or not, even if we're a bit wary, it'll be worth it. Even if they believe us, they won't immediately disband. The demons won't give up on attacking either." Madam Xue said matter-of-factly.
Before the shura species arrived, they still needed Soul Alliance to attract their attention.
Now, Soul Alliance had to rely on this to mediate the various conflicts. Otherwise, they would definitely disband. When that time came, even without the demons attacking, there would be endless internal battles and they would be defeated by themselves.
The best result would be to split into several small circles. Either they would be defeated one by one or they would run far away. Then, the demons wouldn't care about them.
Of course, before that time came, the Demonic Soul would easily wipe them out.
The demons were playing an open scheme. They just didn't expose themselves and gave the other side a sliver of hope.
"Then I won't go. Leave the child to me. I can concoct something." Pan Xuan nodded. She knew this was to explain to Gu Zheng and was afraid he didn't understand.
"Young Master Gu, you should come too. This time, we're probably going to discuss something. You need to understand it." Madam Xue nodded and turned around.
