After Ren Xue's voice fell, there was still no movement in front of her. She also maintained her last action, lowering her head and remaining motionless.
"Get up."
A slightly vicissitude voice sounded. Only then did Ren Xue raise her head and look forward.
On the originally huge ancient tree, two huge eyes and a mouth grew out of the trunk. The words just now came from the other party's mouth.
"Who did you meet this time?" Ancient Wood Wolf asked casually.
"It's not that I went to see the other party, but when I was giving things to the villagers, I met a man and a woman. I've already warned the other party, and presumably, the other party will leave soon." Ren Xue said submissively.
"Leave? I hope they will do so. If they find this place, I will give you a greater punishment. " Wood Wolf said disdainfully. At the same time, an arm-sized branch emerged from its body and carefully rushed over Ren Xue's body.
"Hmph!"
Under the splashing of blood, a bloody hole suddenly exploded on Ren Xue's back. The hidden golden light inside was instantly destroyed. The huge pain made Ren Xue groan carefully. Cold sweat dripped down, but she resisted the pain and didn't let herself groan.
Wood Wolf didn't have tender feelings for the fairer sex. It directly used the most violent means to remove the imprint buried by Gu Zheng.
"This time, I am here to let you prepare for the final sacrifice. Seven days later, the moon will be waning. At that time, it will be the last time for the ceremony. Now, go down with Mu Tian and assist together. Don't make any mistakes. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences!" Wood Wolf pulled back its branch and ordered.
"This subordinate will definitely arrange everything properly. Please rest assured, Lord Wood Wolf." Ren Xue directly accepted the order, then turned around and retreated. The wound on her back was still bleeding, dyeing her back red.
Until she left this place, Ren Xue's calm face showed a trace of pain. She simply treated the wound on her back and walked back to her room.
"Seven days? There should still be time. No matter what, I have to give it a try. I will not give up master and grandmaster. "
In her luxurious room, Ren Xue sat in her usual resting place. She stared at her palm and murmured.
In her palm, a stream of black blood slowly flowed in it, and then faintly disappeared.
.....
"Oh!"
Gu Zheng, who had been searching for them outside, suddenly stopped in his tracks. At the same time, he covered his mouth, causing a trickle of blood to flow out from the gap.
"What's wrong, Gu Zheng?" Meng Zhen asked worriedly.
"I'm fine. The imprint I left on him was destroyed. I just suffered a bit of backlash," Gu Zheng said as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Did he go missing here? We searched for a long time, but we didn't find anything suspicious. It's just that these trees look a little sickly. It's really uncomfortable. "Seeing that Gu Zheng was fine, Meng Zhen complained.
"I think we should find each other. Follow me," Gu Zheng said to Meng Zhen.
That imprint contained a wisp of his Divine Sense, otherwise, he would not have suffered such a huge backlash. The moment it was destroyed, he also knew the approximate location of the other party, which was not far from them.
"Are you sure he's here?"
Meng Zhen followed Gu Zheng for about half an hour before stopping in front of a mountain. She could not help but ask when she saw him searching in front of her.
"He should be behind this mountain. Maybe we should go around it."
Gu Zheng raised his head and looked at the mountain range, which was not very tall. It was just a small area, but he did not dare to go over it. He could vaguely sense that the other party's territory was behind it. If he went over it openly, he was not afraid that the other party would discover his presence.
"Hiding here … I don't know what the other party is thinking. It's too easy to be discovered." Meng Zhen also felt a special aura, but she was still surprised.
Although this place was hidden, it would be easy to find this place if they knew that the other party was in this area.
"How would I know? Follow me." Gu Zheng started to move to the left, indicating for Meng Zhen to follow.
The outside of this mountain range was curved, protruding in the direction they came from. However, as they moved forward, a faint white fog rose around them. It was getting thicker and thicker. In the end, Gu Zheng could not even see Meng Zhen's face. Only then did he stop.
"Is this their outer formation? I don't feel any killing intent, but it's very secretive. The imprint on the other party should disappear here. "Gu Zheng sensed the surroundings and followed carefully.
"Then what should we do next?"
Meng Zhen sensed the surroundings. Other than the mountain range in front of them, everything else was shrouded in white fog. She could not see through this place. She knew that if they continued to walk along the mountain range, they would never reach the end. Because they were already in the formation. This mountain range was deliberately left behind for them.
"The technique of the person who set up the formation is not bad. It's a pity that his strength is too low."
Gu Zheng's words made Meng Zhen nod her head. This place was ingenious. It was not difficult for people above the Great Heavenly Realm to pass through. She had a few plans in her mind to go out or go in. The key was which method to sneak in quietly. In fact, it was still difficult.
"Coincidentally, Pan Xuan gave me a treasure before she left. I just need to use it a little. Follow me closely."
As Gu Zheng spoke, his body emitted a dim red light that enveloped him and Meng Zhen.
Meng Zhen was surprised to find that through the layer of dim red light, the white fog outside had disappeared. Only then did she realize that after walking for so long, they had only walked for a few hundred meters.
"It's really useful. You can perfectly integrate yourself into the formation. Then, no one will be able to notice anything unusual."
Gu Zheng sensed the difference beside him and praised. This thing could be considered a rare treasure just by having this function. Moreover, this was only a small function of it.
Gu Zheng labeled it as a product of the Laozu Ancestor.
After walking for an hour, they arrived at the gap in the mountain range. Looking inside, there was a small valley. It was exactly the same as the one outside. It was like a shrunken mountain range. There were two crescent-shaped gaps at the exit.
There was a small valley inside the large valley. It was definitely man-made.
"So that's how it is. Making use of the convergence to gather spiritual veins? No wonder the spiritual energy here is so scarce. It was all forcefully plundered here. "
Looking at the terrain inside, Gu Zheng walked carefully.
Moreover, there was an answer on the other side. The spiritual energy here was decreasing. Naturally, everything would slowly deteriorate. Naturally, the surroundings would be more cautious. The liquid that Ren Xue gave them could greatly reduce the burden on their bodies. No wonder they were so happy.
"What should we do next?"
The two of them hid behind a huge rock. They were out of the range of the white fog and did not need to rely on the red light. However, at the only entrance, there were a few guards in black. Obviously, it would not be easy to enter under their watch.
Gu Zheng looked around and thought of some ideas, but he rejected them one by one. There was enough space in the middle, and there was no cover. Moreover, there was an extremely hidden array in front of the other party's entrance. The other party's cultivation was also at the peak of the gold immortal realm. It was impossible for them to break the array without attracting the other party's attention.
This time, there was a defensive formation around the valley. It would prevent them from sneaking in from other places.
"Someone is approaching from the outside. I think they will be here soon." Meng Zhen suddenly said.
"This is not good. Let's wait and see if we can find a chance to go in."
Gu Zheng looked at the tightly guarded valley. There was nothing he could do. He could only retreat and think of a way. The entrance was less than ten feet. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they did not wait here.
The two of them retreated from the entrance. Then, they found a hidden place not far away and activated the surveillance formation. They could see the entrance.
Soon, more than ten people in black robes walked in with some wooden boxes. Not long after, some people came out again. After leaving a certain distance, they flew into the sky and disappeared.
For three days, Gu Zheng saw the other party going in and out. They seemed to be busy with something.
"We have to think of a way to go in. They seem to be doing something." Gu Zheng said seriously as he looked at the people coming in and out.
He thought about how Ren Xue said that she would not come again. Something must have happened inside.
"I think we should kill our way in. Anyway, with your strength, you can even kill Wen Tianhou. Even if you can't, you can fight with a Peak Grand Luo. Why should we be afraid of them? I'm sure they don't have a Quasi-Sage or even a Peak Grand Luo. Otherwise, they wouldn't hide in such a remote place." Meng Zhen suggested.
"You're right. However, things aren't that simple." Hearing Meng Zhen's suggestion, Gu Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. Meng Zhen's thinking was still used to the way things were done. It was so violent and simple. Meng Zhen thought he was so strong. If that was the case, he would not have to think of a way here.
"This is very simple. After three days of observation, I found the other party's fatal weakness."
At this moment, the brush suddenly jumped out from the side and said.
"Oh? You said you have a way? "Meng Zhen turned to look at Brush and asked curiously.
"We just want to go in without alerting anyone, right?" Brush swayed in the air. His tone was filled with pride. It seemed like he had a well-thought-out plan.
"Of course. We just need to go in and figure out the situation. It would be better if we can find Ren Xue. Only then can we make preparations for whatever happens inside. Don't think that the other party will let us take them away so easily." Gu Zheng said with certainty.
"If that's the case, it won't be too difficult. I've already brought you guys in." Brush said confidently.
"Tell us where it is. You're making me dizzy. "
Meng Zhen quickly grabbed Brush. She was very dissatisfied that he was still keeping them in suspense at a time like this.
"Wait a moment and follow me. I'll explain it in simple terms. I've already seen through the flaws in the enemy's outer formation in three days. I can buy you three breaths of time as long as you bring me over." The brush's body flashed, and it slid out of her palm.
At this moment, there were still a few people from the other party rushing over. After the other party entered, the two of them and Brush went in. They went around to the side of the valley.
"Are you guys ready? You only have three breaths of time. When the time comes, follow the temporary passage that I've opened and go in directly. "
When the distance was about right, Brush stopped and left a millstone-like fountain in the air, reminding them to go in from there later.
Seeing Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen nodding their heads, the tip of Brush lit up with a faint golden light. After that, Brush pointed forward and disappeared into the void.
In the next moment, on the mountain range in front of them, within the circle that Brush had just drawn, a golden light spot appeared in the middle. In the blink of an eye, it expanded into a golden passage that was carefully connected to the outside world.
Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen did not hesitate and jumped in. The next moment, they appeared in an unfamiliar place and heard Brush's voice begging for mercy.
"Heroine, please spare me!"
"Ren Xue, stop!"
Gu Zheng saw Ren Xue grabbing Brush in mid-air and immediately said in a low voice.
"Why are you guys here? Stand there and don't move. " Ren Xue's pupils shrank. She instantly inserted Brush into her hair and threw it forward. A green light covered Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen's bodies.
Then, Ren Xue squatted down in front of Gu Zheng. She tilted her hand and a seed sank into the soil under her feet. A few emerald green branches and leaves broke out of the ground almost in the blink of an eye. They stretched their bodies and swayed slightly in the air.
At this moment, more than ten dense footsteps came from nearby and surrounded them from all directions. There was a half-yellow branch in their hands and they were gathering in this direction.
"Lord Ren Xue, it's you here."
After more than ten people came here, they did not move forward. They just stood in place and observed the branch in their hands at the same time. One of them stepped forward and said politely.
"I'm really sorry. I accidentally startled everyone again. I still haven't completely mastered the spell that Lord Wood Wolf taught me." Ren Xue stood up and stroked her hair. She had an embarrassed expression on her face as she apologized to them.
"We were reckless. It's just that during this period of time, Lord Wood Wolf told us not to let down our guard and to be on high alert."
"I know. I just felt something in my heart. I will pay more attention these few days. I'm sorry for causing trouble for everyone." Ren Xue did not look down on the other party because of his identity. At the same time, she stepped aside so that the other party could more easily perceive the situation behind him.
"We have to go back and continue to be on guard. Lord Ren Xue, goodbye."
That person glanced at the branch in his hand and glanced at the situation in the other hands. After finding nothing suspicious, he immediately left with the others.
As for Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen who were standing there motionlessly, it was as if they did not see them and just left.
After they left, Ren Xue continued to take care of her small sapling. Unfortunately, after half a day, the small branch that had grown into a small sapling fell carelessly.
"Sigh, what a pity. I failed again this time."
Ren Xue shook her head, then sighed and left. It was as if she had forgotten that Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen were standing there motionlessly. She did not give them any hint and directly left.
However, Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen understood the meaning of the other party's shaking of her head. It seemed that she was regretting her magic, but in fact, she was telling them not to move.
Just like that, Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen stood there for two whole days. During this time, they saw some people walking back and forth busily. Even they could feel the tension in the air. It seemed that something big was about to happen. Gu Zheng didn't understand what they were talking about. He didn't know what they were doing.
When it was suddenly quiet, Ren Xue once again appeared in front of them. After subconsciously looking left and right, she said to Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen.
"Follow me, don't make a sound."
Soon, Ren Xue brought them back to the place where she lived. It was a very simple room. Except for the most basic things, there was nothing extra. There were two rows of such rooms on the side.
"Creak"
After Ren Xue closed the door, she once again set up a simple soundproof barrier. Only then did she feel relieved.
"Why are you here? Do you also know that my grandmaster and the others are in danger? "
She felt that Li Le and Gu Zheng might have an unspeakable relationship. Perhaps they came here because they sensed the other party's danger. Otherwise, the world was so big. How could they pass by this place where birds don't shit? Moreover, they even entered that town. Obviously, they couldn't find the other party's specific location.
"What's going on? Can you tell me first? How is Li Le now? "Gu Zheng didn't expose her, but asked the question in his heart.
"After leaving last time, I brought my grandmaster back. She was also imprisoned in the backyard as a prisoner. When she tried to find a way to rescue my master, she failed and was also captured. In two days, they will be completely devoured. At that time, Wood Wolf will use the power to perfectly recover his strength and break free from the shackles of the ancient tree."
"And you know my situation. After discussing with my grandmaster on the way, I finally knew the identity of the other party, so I personally captured my grandmaster. However, in order to guard against me, the other party left a restriction in my body to control my life and death. I had no choice but to serve them. Of course, I was just compromising to find a way to save my master and the others."
"As a result, this time I suffered a double loss. Not only did I not rescue my master, but I also trapped my grandmaster."
Ren Xue quickly said to Gu Zheng to let him understand her current situation.
Although Ren Xue said some fragments, Gu Zheng still roughly understood what happened. He immediately asked the most critical question.
"How is the strength of the other party? And those subordinates, why do I feel a little strange? "
"Those were originally just ordinary people. Later, they were bewitched and parasitized. Everything about their cultivation was brought by the parasitic body. Their body and mind completely belonged to the other party. However, on the surface, the other party thought that they were favored and were extremely loyal to him. They looked no different from ordinary people."
Speaking of this, Ren Xue pondered for a moment and continued.
"As for the other party, he calls himself Lord Wood Wolf. His strength is at the mid-stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm."
"No way, he's at the mid-stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm. He doesn't seem to be as strong as you." Meng Zhen said somewhat exaggeratedly.
Originally, she thought that the other party was at least at the late-stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm or even at the peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm. However, his cultivation was about the same as Gu Zheng. Didn't that mean that the other party would definitely die?
With the combat strength that Gu Zheng admitted himself, he wasn't even afraid of a peak Zenith Heaven Realm when he unleashed his full strength, let alone a mid-stage Zenith Heaven Realm.
