"What's wrong with them?"
Gu Zheng followed the demon soul back. The moment he entered the camp, he found that there were listless Shura people everywhere. Compared to the tribe member leading the way, the difference was even greater.
"Elder Gu, I really don't know. I was fine yesterday. Suddenly, I became like this. However, I didn't become weak. It seems like I was poisoned. Now, all my work has stopped." The clansman explained.
Gu Zheng didn't ask any more questions. His originally smiling face had turned calm. Clearly, some strange things had happened while he was gone. He hurriedly walked towards the center, and without waiting for the Monster Soul guarding outside to report, he directly went in.
"Gu Zheng, you're here."
Once he entered, Pan Xuan's surprised voice rang out. She moved aside to let him sit.
"What's going on?" Gu Zheng sat down and asked without any trace of politeness.
"It's like this." Pan Xuan knew that time was tight and told him everything in detail. "More importantly, Wen Tianhou's team is here as well. They're crossing the bridge and will arrive in at most fifteen days."
"Ha, so it was that bridge that helped us buy some time." Gu Zheng joked with Xiao Xiao.
Thinking of how so many people had to squeeze through such a small bridge, even with the help of the water demon species, it would take a long time. Fifteen days was the minimum. A few more days would be normal.
"What are you laughing at? The situation is already so serious." Young Master Feng saw Gu Zheng like this and couldn't help but get angry.
"I know it's serious. I'm just joking. Have you never thought that when they come here, they're far away from their region and their strength has decreased greatly. This is good news for us." Gu Zheng retracted his smile and said seriously.
"Last time in the soul alliance battle, they didn't decrease in strength. This time, they can do the same." retorted Young Master Feng.
"Theoretically speaking, what you said is correct. However, last time, the other party had planned for so many years. Furthermore, most of the other party's forces were Yao Soul Puppets. The other party did have some sort of method, but when used against such a large army, it is simply not enough. If my guess is correct, Wen Tianhou will definitely come along." Gu Zheng knew that the other party knew very little, and it just so happened that he had obtained some information from the dead Luo Gong that no one else knew.
The other party did have something that could temporarily shield them from being affected, but there were very few of them. This time, the other party would obviously only use it on important missions. Of course, they could not rule out the possibility that Wen Tianhou had a way to weaken the effect, but the other party would definitely not be completely unaffected.
"Now that you mention it, it doesn't seem as dangerous as we thought it would be. Even if Soul Alliance's strength is declining, it has formed a strange balance with the opponent. Moreover, Soul Alliance's members aren't few and can help us share a lot of the pressure." Pan Xuan said happily.
"If that's the case, the pressure will indeed be greatly reduced. However, it's not absolutely safe. There's also Wen Tianhou himself. There are so many experts in the clan. They outnumber us by tens of times. How are we going to deal with them?" Young Master Feng continued to ask.
"I know what you're thinking. In my opinion, the other party leaving their place is an excellent opportunity for us." Gu Zheng's answer surprised everyone.
"Firstly, it's because we're in the other party's territory. Their strength won't decrease. Moreover, from what I observed when I returned, everyone on the other side had already gone to Palace City. It's impossible to launch a surprise attack on them. More importantly, in their territory, they can comfortably wait for us. Moreover, they have the support of a formation that will raise their strength by another level."
Gu Zheng didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to attack. At first, he thought the other party had sensed the danger and was preparing to defend. There, Wen Tianhou's strength would be even stronger. Therefore, when he heard the other party take the initiative to attack, he felt that the other party had made a bad move. He didn't know what the other party was thinking, so he felt somewhat happy. It seemed that he had been misunderstood by Young Master Feng.
"In that case, it seems to be true. However, the other party coming out is also within our consideration. After all, if we wait until the Old Ancestor arrives, the other party won't have any chance at all." Elder Jin spoke up. He felt that although Gu Zheng's analysis was correct, the other party wouldn't wait. Otherwise, it would be useless no matter how strong they were. When the time came for the Asura Clan to arrive, they wouldn't be able to stop them.
"Yes, the other party's benefits are good, but they didn't leave as they wished. Moreover, they attacked with a large army. It's obvious that they don't put the Asura Clan in their eyes. However, our strength is indeed inferior to the other party. How should we deal with this?" Pan Xuan asked.
"First, there's good news. Wen Tianhou and the one from the Lone Peak fought. Wen Tianhou has been severely injured." Gu Zheng wanted to give the other party some time to react, but before he could speak, Young Master Feng impatiently spoke up.
"Really? That's really good news. However, even if the other party is severely injured, it's still not something we can deal with. "
"I naturally know this, but I don't believe that the Old Ancestor didn't give you something to deal with Wen Tianhou." Gu Zheng looked at them and said.
"Little Feng, don't interrupt. Let Elder Gu finish speaking." Elder Jin glanced at Young Master Feng. The other party kept interrupting, and even they felt that it was a bit excessive.
"I'm just a little worried. I won't say anything." Young Master Feng also felt that he had lost his composure. The main reason was that Gu Zheng had jumped on top of his head, and he was a little unwilling to accept it.
Perhaps other than Pan Xuan, everyone understood this point. Gu Zheng didn't argue with the other party. In any case, once this matter was over, he probably wouldn't have the chance to deal with the other party. Moreover, the other party had given him five rings to evolve again. Being targeted a few times was still acceptable. If the other party could give him another set, he would sit still and watch the other party provoke him. He wouldn't be angry, nor would he talk back.
"Elder Gu, please continue speaking. We naturally have some defenses on our side, but even if the other party is severely injured, it's still very difficult to kill him. However, we can still deal a heavy blow to him." Elder Jin said to Gu Zheng.
"It's not that we don't have reinforcements. First, regarding the battle below, although the people from Lone Peak have retreated, a large portion of them have stayed behind. The other party is also rushing over here. There are also two elders from Lone Peak. Although their cultivation is a little weaker than the other elders, they are still very powerful." Gu Zheng explained the situation of Lone Peak and the situation of the puppets. Everyone's expression became a little better.
With their addition, at least it could be said that the strength below was about the same as the other party. They didn't have to worry about the other party rushing in and destroying their formation.
"The second is our new reinforcements, and also to solve the problem of our lack of high-level battle strength. That is the Soul Painting Clan." Gu Zheng continued.
"The Soul Painting Clan? Aren't they from Wen Tianhou's side? " Pan Xuan knew that Gu Zheng had a good relationship with some members of the Soul Painting Clan. However, it wasn't to the point where the entire clan would betray them.
"They used to be, but not anymore. Their relationship with Wen Tianhou has now become that of a sworn enemy. The other party has been imprisoned in the Palace City, and I have already sent people to rescue them. Once they come out, they will quickly attack Wen Tianhou's team from behind. You should know that the Soul Painting Clan's strength alone is stronger than the Four Great Races. Although it's not enough to fight against all of them, it can prevent them from being so unscrupulous and form an overwhelming force to attack us." Gu Zheng patiently explained.
"Gu Zheng, I have to say, you are really amazing. Even the Soul Painting Clan, who is trusted by Wen Tianhou, can be persuaded to defect. No wonder you are willing to risk your life to save them. I admire you." Pan Xuan looked at Gu Zheng and praised him without hiding anything.
Although he had already been mentally prepared and was looking forward to his miracles, he was still shocked by what Luo Yunyang had done.
However, Gu Zheng saw that Pan Xuan didn't believe him, so he didn't explain and continued, "They don't get along. I just happened to meet them."
"As for the weakness you are suffering now, I also have a way to help you get rid of it. There is also the Water Demon Clan under the water. I will also help you deal with them and solve the problem below."
"Elder Gu is really amazing. However, the water of the Soul River is not ordinary. We can't go down. Don't force yourself." Shui Ling quickly said.
"It's okay. I have already gone down before. For me, it is no different from ordinary river water." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"If this is the case, Elder Gu alone can almost solve most of our problems. In this case, when the time comes, Wen Tianhou will be restrained by us. Even if we have to risk our lives, we must stop him. As long as we are in a stalemate, the other party will see that there is no hope and will retreat directly to their minor worlds." Elder Jin said gratefully.
He now regretted persuading the old ancestor to allow Gu Zheng to join the Asura Clan. He was too amazing.
Elder Jin knew that he and Pan Xuan had entered this place together. However, even on Pan Xuan's side, Gu Zheng had helped him and successfully made Madam Xue side with them.
What a pity, what a pity!
Gu Zheng stood up and said, "It seems like there is a lot of time, but we must act now. I will go find an empty space and completely deal with the invisible black gas. Then, I will help all of you get rid of the hidden dangers in your bodies."
"Okay. Elder Gu, if you need anything, please tell us. We will listen to your orders." Elder Jin also stood up and said decisively. At the same time, he turned to Young Master Feng. "Little Feng, you will listen to Elder Gu's orders."
"Yes, Elder Jin!" Even if Young Master Feng was a million times unwilling, he had to agree.
In fact, he really admired Gu Zheng. He felt that in such a short time, he had found out the conflict between the two sides, the evil spirit's conspiracy, set up the formation, and even plotted to kill Gai Jin and the others. However, compared to Gu Zheng, he was weaker in every aspect. Gu Zheng's cultivation had even improved.
He had been known as a proud son of the heavens since he was young, but compared to Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng was probably the one who was truly blessed by the heavens. The two were not on the same level.
Of course, he admired Gu Zheng, but he would not show it. He believed that he would become more outstanding in the future and suppress Gu Zheng.
"Elder Gu, I will cooperate with you." Young Master Feng still walked to Gu Zheng's side and said.
Although everyone knew about Gu Zheng's status, they were not sure what they thought. After all, most of the people below did not know about Gu Zheng's contributions. They were only giving face to the Old Ancestor. With him following, there would be no obstacles.
"Don't call me Elder Gu. We are all friends of Pan Xuan. Just call me Gu Zheng." Gu Zheng was secretly happy, but he said so.
"No. If it was not in private, I could still agree. But now, this is a matter of the Shura Clan. I must respect the Old Ancestor's opinion. Elder Gu, please start." Young Master Feng said with an ugly smile.
"I will accompany you. Let's go quickly. Oh right, do we still need to inform the evil spirit?" Pan Xuan saw this scene and walked up.
"I will talk to them personally. You don't need to get involved." Elder Jin said from the side.
"Okay, I will go prepare now." Gu Zheng nodded and brought Young Master Feng and Pan Xuan out.
"That Gu Zheng is truly impressive. Although we have encountered so many things, it seems like everything is under his control. No matter what changes, he has the confidence to deal with it."
After Gu Zheng and the others left, Mu Xuan said from the side.
"Each generation is stronger than the previous. We are already old and can only be like this for the rest of our lives." Tu Li said.
"That's his strength. We can't be envious. This is a true monster." Shui Ling agreed.
"That's why Pan Xuan's vision is so strong. When he first showed his talent, I remember that it was in the next normal competition that she noticed his uniqueness. Only, fate makes fools of people." Huo Yao shook his head and said.
"Okay, let's not talk so much. Shui Ling, go with me to Soul Alliance. Do what you need to do. It's best if you check yourselves. Don't make a mistake at a crucial moment. When we come back, we need to check ourselves." Elder Jin interrupted them. Otherwise, who knew where they would go.
On this side, Gu Zheng brought the two of them, who were silent, around the area. Finally, they chose a place.
It was near the east side and slightly protruded, right next to the camp.
"Do you want me to find some materials for you?" Seeing Gu Zheng finally choose a place, Young Master Feng said from behind.
"No need, I've already prepared everything here." Gu Zheng directly refused and picked up the black palace from his waist.
Young Master Feng looked at the lifelike hall. It looked like a scaled-down version of the hall. There were even carvings on the outside of the hall. Moreover, the carvings were very lifelike. Even the hair on the carvings could be seen clearly. Young Master Feng wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he decided to take a look first.
"However, isn't this place a bit far? Can it cover that far?" Pan Xuan also felt that this place was a bit far.
"Don't worry, there won't be a problem. Moreover, the black palace won't be easily destroyed by the enemy here. It's a huge amplification device for us. It's something left behind by an elder of mine." At this point, Gu Zheng thought of Elder Gu and his tone became a bit gloomy.
This caused Young Master Feng and Pan Xuan to be silent. Clearly, from Gu Zheng's tone, his elder was no longer here.
Gu Zheng looked at the mini black palace and thought for a bit before throwing it out.
Once it landed, Gu Zheng probably wouldn't put it away again.
The originally palm-sized black palace was thrown up by Gu Zheng. A dazzling black light blossomed in the air and its entire body rapidly inflated.
Under their astonished gazes, it slowly landed on the ground, causing the ground to shake a few times as it landed.
"Dang"
A crisp sound of a bell rang from inside the hall. The door opened automatically, and they could clearly see the structure inside, letting them know that it wasn't an illusion.
"It's amazing. This is the first time I've seen someone disregard the cost and make a hall like this," Pan Xuan exclaimed.
"Of course, but I don't know how to use this kind of magic. I only know how to use it." Gu Zheng motioned for them to follow him in.
Compared to before, the entire hall wasn't as exposed as before. Three female statues were in the middle of the hall, with their pictures engraved on the sides, as if telling their stories.
However, Gu Zheng knew that the hall's auxiliary array formation was hidden beneath those diagrams. The core array formation was beneath the floorboards. If there was a small space beneath the floorboards, then Elder Gu's core items would be stored.
No one could open it. If it was opened by force, the entire hall would explode.
Elder Gu hadn't told him how to convert puppets. It wasn't because she was hiding it, but because only their lineage could use it. With Elder Gu's death, it had been completely lost.
Gu Zheng took out the stone strip and went directly under the three statues. At an inconspicuous place on the side, there was a small hole. He directly inserted it. This was the place that connected to the underground core.
"Rumble!"
Gu Zheng retreated to the center position, and the entire hall began to tremble slightly. Above the three stone statues, a golden light began to flicker, and the stone-like exterior began to melt under the illumination of the light.
Soon, three extremely beautiful women appeared in front of them. One held a shield in one hand, one a snake sword in another, one a pure bottle in one hand, and the last one had eight silver talismans around her. After they appeared, the hall's trembling also stopped.
"They are?" Pan Xuan stared with wide eyes. She couldn't figure out their identities at all.
"They can be considered the hall's protectors. They represent martial strength, magic, and auxiliary abilities. I will give you the method later. This hall cannot leave this world." Gu Zheng looked at the three expressionless puppets. They were standing in front of him, waiting for his orders.
They were protectors and also a part of the hall's functions. They had to rely on them.
"I need some time to erect a purifying defense nearby. It can block the black fog."
As Gu Zheng spoke, he ordered the woman with the Pure Vase to take a few steps back and stand still.
Young Master Feng noticed a milky white halo under her feet. Under Gu Zheng's control, it began to light up and finally swallowed her whole body.
At the same time, the entire hall lit up with different lights. A strange aura was brewing.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the milky white light beam burst open, and a white light wave visible to the naked eye blasted out.
An enormous transparent white barrier enveloped Asura and Soul Alliance. Its range was so large that it caused everyone to look up in shock.
