Gu Zheng stood to the side and watched the strange atmosphere, but he didn't explain anything.
After all, who would have thought that City Lord Luo would be so afraid of death? Even if he didn't believe it, he didn't know where the other party was lying, and he couldn't figure out where the problem was.
After all, if it were anyone else, they wouldn't have believed what they said before, but he knew that the other party wasn't lying. However, he felt that it was strange that the other party was so cooperative.
"I know you don't believe me, but now that I've been captured, do you think you'll believe me? Besides, now that I'm in your hands, how can I resist if you want to kill me? At least if you want to get through this, I might still be useful. At least I won't die. "
City Lord Luo wasn't angry at the others' doubts. Instead, he explained carefully and added another sentence.
"Anyway, I won't tell you this information. You can find a way to interrogate me or search my soul. I might as well cooperate and suffer less."
"Good that you know. Wait here obediently. Don't try any tricks," another City Lord said disdainfully, his eyes full of disgust.
"I'll watch him. If he tries any tricks, I won't go easy on him," Pan Xuan suddenly said from the side.
"We'll leave it to you," Madam Xue said from the side. When the others saw this, they didn't say anything.
City Lord Luo's capture left them at a loss as to how to deal with him. Of course, they couldn't kill him directly. It seemed like they could vent their anger, but in reality, other than venting, it wouldn't do them any good. It was better to keep him alive and find out what he knew. It would be more helpful to them.
"Haha, Thief Luo, this day has come for you. Are you regretting it now?"
A familiar voice came from afar. City Lord Liu and the other City Lords appeared from behind, leading the rest of their people in strides.
In his hand was an unconscious person. It was City Lord Fan.
"We arrived right after you left. Only then did we find out about you. We thought that he had slipped away, but it turns out that he was caught by you. I told you not to worry about you. Who knows, you might have other gains. Sure enough, I was right."
City Lord Liu threw City Lord Fan to the side like he was trash. Naturally, someone else would take care of him.
"I was just about to worry about you. Looks like everything went well for you." Madam Xue went up and said.
"That's right. We killed one of them and heavily injured another. Other than capturing this one, the others all escaped. Of course, this is all thanks to City Lord Liu." A City Lord following behind City Lord Liu said.
"Traitors will always be traitors. I can't wait to kill them all. However, they have already escaped from Thunder Sound City. At least for now, we don't have to worry about them. So, Great Alliance Leader Luo Gong, don't even think about them coming to save you. I'm afraid they don't have the guts to do so." City Lord Liu glanced at Luo Gong and sneered.
"You came back just in time. We were just discussing how to deal with him," Ruo Chen said.
"I can't wait to kill him. He almost got me killed," City Lord Xing said angrily.
"We can't kill him for the time being. He's still of great use to us." City Lord Liu naturally knew his value. "Let's discuss it first before interrogating him."
"Alright."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Madam Xue invited Gu Zheng.
"You should come as well."
"No, you can discuss it. I'll take the opportunity to rest for a while." Gu Zheng smiled and refused.
He didn't need to know those secrets. Just like Pan Xuan, it was useless even if he knew. After all, only City Lord Liu and the others could use this place.
"He's a little strange. Be careful. Is there any news about what happened outside?"
Gu Zheng walked up to Pan Xuan and said as they gathered at the side and started discussing.
Other than City Lord Luo's strange matter, which Gu Zheng noticed, the outside space seemed to be separated by a layer of gauze. The scene in the air was foggy, making it impossible for his divine sense to detect what was happening outside. He could only rely on the scene in the air.
"No, but I trust Young Master Feng. He should be at the reception platform now," Pan Xuan said quickly.
"If you can successfully enter, can you help me with something?" Gu Zheng looked at Pan Xuan's familiar face and hesitated for a moment before asking.
"No problem. I've already reported this. Besides, we also need to expel the Yao Soul. But who's behind them? They're definitely not a match for our Old Ancestor." Pan Xuan seemed to know what Gu Zheng wanted to say. She turned around and smiled, agreeing directly.
"Mm."
This time, Gu Zheng didn't thank her. He just nodded and didn't say anything else. This made Pan Xuan smile.
"Friend, I'm afraid you're not from here. But why do you have the smell of blood on you?"
Luo Gong said to Pan Xuan, trying to find something to talk about.
"Shut up!"
Pan Xuan's smiling face instantly turned cold. She shouted at Luo Gong. At the same time, she slapped the air with her palm. "Pa!" A clear red palm print appeared on Luo Gong's face.
Luo Gong's face immediately turned red. But in the face of such humiliation, Luo Gong only turned his head silently, blocking his angry eyes. He had been in a high position for so many years that he had long forgotten when was the last time he was humiliated.
"Domineering!" Gu Zheng raised his thumb and said to Pan Xuan.
Pan Xuan was stunned by Gu Zheng's praise. The frost on her face quickly fell and returned to normal. If one looked carefully, there was still a trace of abnormal redness on her cheeks.
"My Alliance Leader Luo, come in. Eh? What happened to your face? You deserve it! " At this time, City Lord Xing walked out from inside and walked towards Luo Gong. He was prepared to capture him and interrogate him first. But when he saw Luo Gong's appearance, he laughed gloatingly.
It was obvious who it was without looking. However, no one wanted to stand up for him. They all wanted to beat him up personally.
"Right, do you think that the other party's Demon Soul will win? Perhaps if Luo Gong is captured, the battle between the two sides won't start. "After a moment of silence, Pan Xuan suddenly asked. Her voice was filled with worry.
"Do you know how my maidservant was captured?" Gu Zheng thought for a moment and then suddenly asked a question that was irrelevant.
Gu Zheng didn't wait for Pan Xuan to ask and said, "It's that man outside. I fought with him before and was completely defeated. If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was in a hurry, I might have been killed by him."
"Before we went to that special place, we met him on the road. Because my maid was captured, I went to look for him. In the end, he taught me a good lesson. The other party is really strong." Gu Zheng said seriously, "So you don't have to worry. The other party definitely won't give up so easily."
"More importantly, I can see that everything is under the other party's control. And we're walking step by step into the other party's trap."
Gu Zheng took a few steps forward and looked at the illusory figure in the air. Zhu Hun had a calm expression from start to finish.
"If you don't think highly of them, why didn't you warn them?" Pan Xuan walked to Gu Zheng's side and looked at the man. To be able to make Gu Zheng look like he was facing a great enemy, he was probably really extraordinary.
"If it weren't for you, I would definitely have warned them," Gu Zheng said indifferently.
He wasn't a real Saint, and he didn't know what a Saint would do in his position. He only knew to follow his heart. More importantly, they shouldn't be here, so why were they here? It was a little strange, and he almost understood their origins.
Why were they pulled here and had their memories tampered with, but their strength didn't match? It seemed like they had been given a new life, but from a certain point of view, this wasn't a different kind of prison.
There was nothing here. What was the difference between this and a prison? Although the other side was trying to prevent the leak of the Small Thousand World, they were also doing some unknown things. The price they had to pay wasn't that easy.
He thought of Kikyo. On the surface, she looked like the people here, but in fact, she had long been aware of it. Perhaps in this group of people, there were actually some who were like her in the depths of their hearts. It was just that their minds were affected by others, and they suddenly didn't realize it.
The air was silent again. Pan Xuan was also familiar with Gu Zheng's temper. She knew that if it weren't for her, she was afraid that he would have taken the risk to rescue her maid and leave with her.
Even if the other party was Wen Tianhou, she felt that he couldn't stop Gu Zheng.
Time passed little by little. Unknowingly, more than half a day had passed, and the shout of City Lord Ming came to their ears.
"Where are the others? Hurry up and send another person. The other side has increased their attacks. We need to add more people to share the burden."
"I'll go call them," Gu Zheng shouted at City Lord Ming and hurried over.
Obviously, they were still having an intense discussion. There seemed to be several different opinions, and now they were in a deadlock. Gu Zheng went over and directly interrupted their conversation and told them what was going on over there.
After hearing this, City Lord Liu immediately said to everyone, "We'll talk about our business later. Everyone, go over there and watch."
Soon, everyone hurriedly gathered there again. A City Lord went up and began to share the burden. Everyone looked at the image in the air, and their expressions were not good. Because there were ten more elders over there.
Behind them, there were other subordinates who could provide power, but they also needed to be replaced to rest. And the other side's attacks had reached a certain level. Relying on their autonomous defenses alone was not enough to withstand it.
Now, with the three City Lords sharing the burden, they could continuously support the shield and continue to hold. And if nothing unexpected happened, with the strength of the other side's attacks, they could hold on for at least ten days.
At this time, Ruo Chen suddenly said, "Why don't we give it a try? If the other side dares to lie, just kill him."
No one said anything. After a while, Madam Xue finally spoke up.
"With one less layer of attacks, the other side is really fearless. Otherwise, if they dare to attack so recklessly, they won't even know how they died." Madam Xue seemed to be wavering.
"Why don't we give it a try? If this continues, we'll be exhausted to death sooner or later. No wonder the other side didn't send any more puppets to attack."
As the saying went, one could only be a thief for a thousand days, but there was no way to guard against a thief for a thousand miles. Although they wanted nothing more than to kill him, the information in Luo Gong's head was what they urgently needed. Otherwise, they really didn't have the confidence to survive this level of danger.
"Actually, I'm also afraid of death. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been threatened by the other side. As long as you can guarantee my safety, I'm willing to tell you anything. You can try bit by bit. If anything goes wrong, immediately kill me. Now that I've been sealed by you, whether I live or die is up to you. But if you want to search my soul, I guarantee that you won't get anything out of it."
Seeing that everyone was wavering, Luo Gong said.
The other side did not doubt his words. Even if they were sealed, the other side most likely had methods to ensure that they would not be able to obtain the information they wanted.
"Why don't we give it a try? But go and tell everyone to be prepared to break out of the encirclement. If the other side is willing to die to cause trouble for us, then kill them and we'll leave."
The sky once again fell silent. Everyone was just outside. The Demonic Souls were attacking non-stop. After an unknown amount of time, City Lord Liu finally spoke.
His words were the final decision. Ruo Chen walked out and nodded, "I'll do it."
City Lord Liu looked at Luo Gong and solemnly said, "Then now is the time to show your value. I can guarantee that if we pass through this crisis, then I can guarantee your life. However, you will forever be sealed and imprisoned."
"With City Lord Liu's guarantee, I can relax. I'm afraid that after this, I'll have to call you Alliance Master Liu." Luo Gong laughed, as if he wasn't worried about dying at all.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng understood something. However, whatever plan the other side had, even placing it on Luo Gong, intentionally letting him capture them, they didn't have much of a choice.
In other words, after losing the first layer of defense and adding on the splitting of Soul Alliance, the initiative was no longer in his hands.
Even if Gu Zheng tried to stop it, he couldn't.
This was a blatant scheme.
City Lord Liu and the others probably knew this, but had to do it.
"Then first, let's see how much I, as the Alliance Master, have grasped." Luo Gong said confidently.
"This isn't your work. Everything here belongs to you very little. Don't think too highly of yourself." Madam Xue mocked from the side.
"Of course we have to strengthen the defense. You guys can't stay passive like this. There's a hidden formation here. If you activate it according to my method, it can at least double the conversion efficiency outside. In other words, with the current strength, we only need two people." Luo Gong ignored Madam Xue and pointed inside.
Then, he told the method of activating the hidden formation. Naturally, someone told the Ming City Lord inside.
City Lord Ming knew everyone's decision, but didn't immediately try it out. Instead, he waited for Ruo Chen to return.
Not long after, Ruo Chen nodded at everyone. Everyone knew what she meant. City Lord Ming didn't hesitate and activated it according to the other party's method.
After he used the method to connect to an area and activated it, he found that the outer barrier's strength had indeed increased.
"It's effective. Now we only need two people."
As the first City Lord came down to rest, Luo Gong's words were confirmed.
"I hope you can continue to cooperate."
Seeing the somewhat embarrassed commander outside, City Lord Liu glanced at Luo Gong. The meaning in his tone was self-evident.
"Don't worry. For my own sake, I definitely won't do anything irrational." Luo Gong stood there and said honestly.
That was because everyone only needed the secrets in his mind. They didn't need him to control them and maintain the seal. What made everyone feel more at ease was that everyone could clearly see the injuries in his body. Even if he wanted to do something in secret, he would only die faster.
"If the other party wants to wear us down, it won't be so fast. However, I have other suggestions. After all, there are many secrets here. You can activate some to strengthen the defense." Luo Gong spoke again.
"I didn't ask you to speak. Next time, don't speak. Remember your identity. Don't you have other methods to fight back?" City Lord Liu said to Luo Gong.
"Sometimes, but most of the methods are connected to the first layer. After all, it's the outermost layer and has the lowest interference. Unfortunately, it's already broken. Only a few methods can be used. None of them can be controlled by normal people." Luo Gong said honestly.
"It's still your last method. Otherwise, how could you be in such a sorry state?" Ruo Chen glared at Luo Gong.
"If I knew I was captured by you, I definitely wouldn't have betrayed Soul Alliance. I would have fought with them to the end. Instead, I would have tricked them. However, I didn't know, so I regret it." Luo Gong's expression didn't change.
"What do we do next?" City Lord Xing asked.
"Then tell us all the methods you know to fight back, as well as the defensive methods you can use." City Lord Liu said in a commanding tone.
At this time, even if the other party had an initial method of cooperation, they wouldn't try it out blindly. Now that they had time, they could verify if the other party's methods were correct.
"No problem, you can try as you wish."
Afterwards, Luo Gong first told them a few offensive methods. These methods could only be used by the various City Lords. Before coming out, City Lord Ming already knew that each method was extraordinarily powerful, but also consumed a lot of resources.
Most of them were area of effect attacks. After all, when they were defending here, they were still surrounded by enemies. Only one of them could be used, and it was of the interference type.
After Luo Cheng obtained it, he walked straight in to discuss with City Lord Ming and a few others. They would first verify it outside, then carefully test it out in actual combat to ensure safety.
.....
Outside Thunder Sound City, Zhu Hun saw that the defenses above had been strengthened. The joy in the corners of his eyes became even more obvious. He knew that the people inside were still observing the outside, so his expression naturally remained the same. He looked like he was furious, but in reality, he was giving orders to his subordinates.
His subordinates looked at Zhu Hun, who looked like he was having a stroke, and passed down the orders one by one.
"Everything is going according to plan. Next, we have to defend for a while and try to minimize our losses."
Seeing the surrounding troops begin to move, Zhu Hun muttered to himself. A layer of light appeared on his body and extended outwards.
After letting the other party watch for so long, it was time for him to rest. He wouldn't have time to rest even if he wanted to.
It wasn't just him. Lights of various colors rose from other directions to interfere with the people inside. Although they couldn't completely blind the people inside, it was as if they were looking through a thick layer of glass. They could only see the general appearance. Before they could imagine, they could see more clearly, so they couldn't even think about it.
