"This is too exaggerated!"
Pan Xuan raised her head and looked at the heaven-like barrier above her head. She was stunned.
Even Young Master Feng was shocked. The power emanating from the barrier was no less than his own strength. In other words, he might not even be able to charge in from the outside.
The range was so wide and the intensity was so great that even the elders could not do it. It seemed that he had underestimated the Black Temple. Just from this point alone, it could be seen that the inheritance left behind by Gu Zheng's senior was extremely powerful, not to mention that it had other unknown functions.
Not only them, if not for Soul Alliance's Gu Zheng's warning, they probably would have thought something big had happened. The Shura species were the same. They put down what they were doing and looked up at the enormous barrier in the sky.
"Ok, this way, once the black mist is released, it will be useless. Your species members will have to come here and undergo individual purification. It's very simple, I'll give it to you individually in a moment." Gu Zheng clapped his hands and walked out. He looked at the barrier in the sky that shocked him and spoke to them after a while.
"What are you going to do?" Pan Xuan heard Gu Zheng and quickly asked.
"Didn't I just say that I have to deal with the matters below? Otherwise, when we fight, what if the water demons come out and cause trouble? We have to completely deal with this hidden danger." Gu Zheng turned around and said.
"I'll go gather the members here. You give the method to Pan Xuan." Young Master Feng took the initiative to take on the hard work and walked outside.
"What exactly do we do?" Pan Xuan followed Gu Zheng into the great hall. She didn't know where to start.
The entire great hall was very empty. There weren't any decorations, making it seem very empty.
"Don't move. I'll take a drop of your blood and then tell you the method."
Gu Zheng held Pan Xuan's wrist and carefully forced a drop of blood from her white fingertip. Then, Gu Zheng muttered an incantation that Pan Xuan didn't understand. Slivers of golden light came out from the corner of his mouth, transforming into tiny runes that circled around the drop of blood before disappearing into it.
Pan Xuan's face was slightly red. She felt that the place on her wrist that Gu Zheng was holding was burning. A strange power came from his hand and went along her arm into her body. Her entire body felt like it was on fire, forcing her to carefully struggle free.
She knew that Gu Zheng wouldn't return it to her. She resisted the urge to leave and watched the drop of blood on her finger carefully dyed golden. At the same time, she looked at Gu Zheng's serious face and became absent-minded.
She seemed to read Gu Zheng's desire in his eyes. It was a world that was completely different from hers. It was as if there was a chasm between the two of them.
Even now, she knew that there was no hope. She even thought of deliberately distancing herself from him. She spoke ill of him countless times in her heart, but this ill-fated relationship could only be tasted by herself. She even thought that if Gu Zheng asked her to betray the Shura Clan to help him, she would be able to make the decision to refuse.
Fortunately, it didn't come to that, so she didn't have to worry about it.
"Pan Xuan? Pan Xuan! Swallow the blood on your fingertip. Concentrate and start digesting it. " Gu Zheng was done. He raised his head and wanted to tell Pan Xuan, but he found that she was in a daze. He quickly shouted.
"Oh, okay!"
Pan Xuan came back to her senses and found that Gu Zheng had let go of her wrist. She quickly put her finger into her mouth.
The drop of golden blood seemed to have a mind of its own. The moment it entered her mouth, it fell off on its own and fell towards her abdomen.
Pan Xuan then sat on the ground. A layer of golden light vaguely appeared on the surface of her body.
Gu Zheng waited quietly at the side. He had lost control of the Black Hall. Everything was handed over to Pan Xuan. Perhaps Young Master Feng understood his lie and left carefully.
The moment Pan Xuan woke up, the entire Black Hall would belong to her completely, including everything below. Everything he knew about the Black Hall would be from her carefully.
Because there was only one copy of the information, he didn't know what the Black Hall was capable of.
"Tap, tap, tap."
After half a day, Young Master Feng had brought over a hundred people. The rest were still gathering, waiting for Young Master Feng to bring them over. He was mainly concerned about this place. Although the Black Hall was big, it couldn't accommodate so many people at the same time.
"Wait for a while. She is still digesting the information. When she wakes up, she will naturally lead them to get rid of the weakness in their bodies. Although it will take some time, she can get rid of all of us within seven days. There is still time." Gu Zheng went up and said to Young Master Feng.
"Where are you going?" Young Master Feng raised his hand. The people behind him immediately quietened down. When they saw Gu Zheng, there was a hidden meaning in his words.
"Naturally, I am going to get rid of those people who are in the way. If possible, it would be best to uproot them and get rid of the hidden danger completely. I will disappear for a few days. If anyone asks about me, help me explain." Gu Zheng smiled.
He was naturally clear about the strength of the water demons. Not to mention his current cultivation, no one in the water demons could go against them. Moreover, the water demons were arrogant but weak. However, with the uniqueness of the Soul River, ordinary people were no match for them. It was impossible to kill their way into the core of the water demons. The internal structure of the water demons was in a mess.
He knew everything about the water demons thanks to Yan Ge and Yan Di.
"Alright then. Be careful." Young Master Feng nodded. Seeing that Gu Zheng was determined to go, he could only say so.
"I won't die even if you die. Haha." Gu Zheng left behind a sentence that made Young Master Feng angry. He turned around and left immediately.
By the time Young Master Feng wanted to counterattack, he had already lost track of Gu Zheng. He carefully waited nearby.
However, Pan Xuan did not let him wait for long. Soon, she received all the information. When she opened her eyes, she saw Young Master Feng. She stood up and turned around.
"Where is Gu Zheng?"
At this moment, she completely understood the function of the Black Temple. She was speechless. In terms of combat power, the Black Temple was not very useful. All the core materials were gone. At most, it could only use three of Jin Xian's peak puppets.
However, in terms of other functions, all of them added together could not be compared to the Black Temple.
Moreover, she now understood Gu Zheng's intention. He had completely lost control of the Black Temple and had completely entrusted it to her.
"He went to deal with the water demons. He asked me to remind you not to worry about him. He will definitely come back in time." Young Master Feng reminded her. "He seems very confident. You don't have to worry about him. Now, let's deal with our problem first. Are you confident?"
Pan Xuan put down her worries about Gu Zheng and nodded to Young Master Feng. "No problem. Let the first ten people follow me in. The rest wait outside."
Young Master Feng commanded his people to follow Pan Xuan in. He was not worried about himself at all. The poison might have accumulated in his body, but the amount was obviously not enough to make them fall into a weakened state. Even if the black fog appeared now, it would be purified. He did not have to worry about it. It was better to let his people purify it first. They had already wasted a lot of time. The sooner they finished, the faster they could complete the formation.
Soon, the hall was completely closed after they entered, preventing all outside prying. At this time, even Elder Jin and the others could not see what was going on inside, let alone Young Master Feng.
While Gu Zheng was methodically using the Black Temple's power to remove the weakness in the Asura Clan's body, he had already arrived outside the small cave.
"Elder Gu!"
A few strange voices came from the side. It was the Shura with a layer of golden light. They were relatively weak. Now, they wrapped themselves tightly to block the black fog that was everywhere.
"You can relax now. The black fog has lost its effect." Gu Zheng pointed in front of him and said.
However, although the two Shura knew Gu Zheng's identity, they did not believe his words. They did not touch the almost useless defense and continued to ask Gu Zheng.
"Elder Gu, is there anything you need us to do?"
"No need. You guys stay here and wait. Someone will inform you later. I will go down first."
Seeing that, Gu Zheng did not want to waste time talking nonsense with them. He said a few words and jumped down. With a splash, he disappeared into the tributary of the Soul River.
"Hurry up and inform the elders. Elder Gu has jumped down."
Gu Zheng's action shocked them. They looked around and saw that Gu Zheng's body did not appear. One of them said immediately. The other heard that and ran away. They did not know that Gu Zheng was not afraid of the Soul River at all.
Although Gu Zheng wasn't good at fighting underwater, the entire Soul River wasn't deep. Moreover, this tributary was similar to the ordinary rivers above. To him, there wasn't much of a difference. As he landed, his body moved slightly and quickly swam forward.
When Gu Zheng landed, the ears of the elder of the Water Tribe who was taking a nap in the distance twitched. He opened his eyes, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He began to listen carefully. When he was injured, a ball of black mist was in his palm. It flowed along with the flow of the river, and flowed down. Under his control, it seeped into the top of his head from all directions. Those few layers of defense and black soil were almost completely useless.
Just now, he seemed to have heard something falling into the Soul River. The other party had stopped throwing things and attacking for a long time. Could it be that because of the previous incident, they wanted to block the river again?
That was wishful thinking. No matter what fell into the river, the result would be the same. It would be a waste of energy.
A few hours ago, he had already noticed the changes above. This meant that his plan was a success. After a day, he would be able to leave here and report back.
"Something is going against the current and is rushing towards here."
Even though Gu Zheng was very careful to hide his body, as a water demon who lived in the Soul River all year round, he was very sensitive to the water. When he noticed the slight difference in the current, his body tensed up.
The Soul River was very harmful to the Shura Tribe. However, it not only meant that the other party could not go down, but also had to endure that kind of pain every moment. Also, the strength of the other party would decrease. It was very possible that the other party felt that something was wrong and came to take a look.
"Since it is here, don't think of going down carefully."
The Elder of the Water Tribe did not realize anything. He fixed the cloud of black fog in his hand and prepared himself.
"Over there!"
This place was not far from the Shura's cave. He had just finished his preparations when he sensed the movement coming from there. At this time, it was already incomparably clear. He did not hesitate any longer and pushed his hand towards that direction.
An obvious ripple rose from under the water. Then, the undercurrent carefully rushed towards that direction.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound suddenly exploded from the ground. The entire water flow seemed to have been cut off in the middle. Carefully, from the enemy's figure, the Elder of the Water Tribe could clearly see that it was not the figure of the Shura Tribe. It was Gu Zheng, who the Heavenly King hated to the bone.
His figure was probably known to all Demon Souls. The Heavenly King had already given him a kill order. The failure of the previous attack was also because the other party had suffered such a crushing defeat.
What was even more inconceivable was that Gu Zheng did not seem to be afraid of the Soul River at all. He directly appeared at the bottom of the river naked.
In this moment of distraction, Gu Zheng's figure had already crossed this short distance. The attack just now did not seem to have affected the other party at all. He slapped a palm towards the Water Demon Elder.
At the same time, the water around the Water Demon Elder suddenly froze, turning into layers of solid defense that protected him. At the same time, with a twist of his wrist, several streams of water shot towards Gu Zheng.
This was his home ground. He was not afraid of the other party at all. Moreover, he knew the other party's strength. He was only at the early stage of the Human Soul Stage. He was not afraid of the other party at all. However, in the next moment, he miscalculated.
He was confident that the defense in front of him could block the other party. However, before his attack could reach the other party, as the other party came into contact with his defense, an unstoppable force rushed up from the outside.
The surrounding defense was instantly broken. Suddenly, there was not a single drop of water around him. The palm was still pressing towards him with unstoppable force.
"Explode for me!"
The Water Demon Goblin was shocked. The other party's strength was not at the early stage of the Human Soul Stage. He immediately gave up on his attack. With a loud shout, several black water balls appeared from his body and exploded one after another.
"Rumble!"
The Shura clansman who had gone up to inform the elders that they did not need to ask had just returned. Before he could even speak to his companion, the entire ground began to shake. The Spirit River below even shot up into the sky, forcing them to dodge to the side.
However, this commotion came too suddenly. Quite a few Spirit River still landed on them. Fortunately, they did not withdraw their defense and blocked the aftershocks, not injuring themselves.
"What happened below?"
When the commotion below subsided, the two of them quickly returned to their original positions. The one who had stayed behind was a little surprised and puzzled.
"Although I don't know, didn't you notice that the black Qi seems to have disappeared?" The other companion pointed down and said.
"Really? Could it be that Elder Gu is not afraid of the Spirit River? The tremors just now were caused by him chasing the other party away?"
"The elders said that we don't need to ask anymore. They even told us to retreat from here and gather to get rid of the weakness in our bodies."
"Let's go. We don't need to worry about Elder Gu's strength. He was once able to bring a group of people out from there. It's no wonder that even the old ancestor is careful around him."
After they had completely buried the hole, they directly left this place. However, Gu Zheng's deeds had also spread outside as they returned. No matter what, everyone had a better understanding of Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng, who was dealing with the black Qi below, did not care about what the people above thought of him. He did not care whether it was good or bad. After spending a little more time, he completely blocked the key point of the Spirit River. Only then did he continue to swim forward along the Spirit River.
That Water Demon Elder had already been injured by him. If not for the fact that he wanted the other party to lead the way, the other party would not be able to leave so easily.
Although he knew the lair of the Water Demon Clan, at this time, the other party might not necessarily be there. Maybe they were gathering somewhere, waiting for Wen Tianhou's command at any time.
The Water Demon Elder had already been tracked by him. It was impossible for him to escape from his perception. Therefore, no matter how the other party tried to get rid of the tracking behind him through various complicated waterways, he was still half a day behind the other party. He had been following the other party unhurriedly.
From time to time, the other party would use some very shallow anti-tracking methods. He would either hide in a certain place and not come out, or release a clone to speed up and rush back on the way back. He wanted to see if he was being followed. He was very careful, but it was useless. Not to mention Gu Zheng, anyone with a lot of experience would be able to avoid his detection.
In this way, Gu Zheng watched those fancy movements. He didn't know where exactly the other party was. But on the fifth day, the other party suddenly accelerated and rushed to the side, then disappeared from Gu Zheng's perception.
Gu Zheng also carefully approached this place. He returned to a relatively spacious underground river. The place where the other party disappeared was a stone wall. From the outside, he didn't feel anything suspicious at all. This made Gu Zheng sigh that he really followed the right place. The other party really found a new gathering point.
After fumbling around outside for a while, he found something strange. Facing such a simple defense, he didn't have to spend much effort to successfully sneak in.
This was an enormous space that had been hollowed out. To Gu Zheng's surprise, other than the fact that this place was a little damp, there was no underwater world like he had imagined. He carefully walked around the surroundings and then walked towards a building that stood out from the rest.
In his perception, there were at least forty to fifty Water Goblins on the other side, some distance away from here. Needless to say, their strength was not in Gu Zheng's eyes. In front of him was a special group of five to six tall buildings made of stone. Among them, the innermost one was the most majestic. There were two Water Goblins guarding the door. However, the two Water Goblins were chatting with each other and didn't pay attention to the surroundings.
Perhaps the Water Goblins had lived a peaceful life for too long, so long that they thought that there were no enemies in the world who would come to the Soul River to cause trouble for them. Therefore, there wasn't even a trace of vigilance in this place.
The only unfortunate thing for Gu Zheng was that only about half of the Water Demon clansmen were gathered here. That was all of the enemy's clansmen who could fight. They couldn't wipe them all out in one fell swoop. Fortunately, compared to their base, which had some defensive measures, this place was much simpler.
Now that the outside was sealed, no one would be able to escape easily.
Gu Zheng's face showed a trace of a smile and walked up.
