In the middle of a mountain range.
A woman in red was searching the mountains in the air as if she was looking for something.
No matter how tall the mountain was or how small the hill was, as long as it was higher than the continuous forest below, she would go down to take a closer look. If she did not find what she was looking for, she would then go to the next place.
No one knew exactly how many mountains there were here. According to her standards, there were tens of thousands of mountains scattered all over this place. Countless towering mountains were simply innumerable. This place was already far away from the mortal world, leaving behind only primitive things. Very few people had ever set foot in this place before.
"Lord Demon God, the other party has been searching for about half a month. If we go down quickly, they will find one of our temporary bases in a few days at most. I'm afraid they will follow the clues and find this place."
In the interior of a mountain that was neither tall nor short, a human in a purple robe looked up and reported the situation outside to the Demon God.
There was a floating stone chair above, and a figure that seemed to be formed by black flowing water was sitting on it, looking down. After hearing the sound from below, he didn't say anything for a long time, but the flow of his body had obviously sped up a lot.
The purple robe below did not make a sound. Being familiar with the Demon God, he knew that the other party was thinking. At this time, he must not make a sound.
Not long after, the flow of the Demon God's body suddenly stopped and he asked.
"Have you found out what happened over there?"
"Lord Demon God, we have lost contact with everyone over there. The people we sent were disturbed by some people. When they reached there, they could not go there first. However, through some means, they found out that the Origin Bead had been used." The purple robe lowered his head and said cautiously.
"I know all this. My clones died there. Is there no news of the other party?" The Demon God looked down with his two pitch-black eyes and said expressionlessly.
"Please forgive me, Lord Demon God. There was no news."
Even though the purple robe's cultivation was at the late stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm, he immediately knelt on the ground and asked for forgiveness when he heard the Demon God's question.
"Forget it. Fortunately, I have a backup plan. How is that damned giant bear?" The Demon God stared down for a while, causing the purple robe to be covered in cold sweat. Only then did he let it go.
He knew that the person who sabotaged his plan was not weak. In order to prevent himself from being implicated, there was a long distance between here and there. By the time he was done here, it would be normal for the other party to leave.
It was impossible for the other party to stupidly stay where he was. More importantly, he had already understood something. The other party had devoured his things, and obviously wanted to use him to pay the price.
In other words, even if he didn't look for the other party, the other party would take the initiative to look for him within a certain period of time.
"That giant bear's mind is very strong. Even with the potion given by Lord Devil God, we still can't infect it. According to our observation, it seems that it has undergone a great mental toughening not long ago, which is why our progress is so slow. If we want to pry open a hole, it will take at least a thousand years," the purple-robed man said carefully.
Sure enough, upon hearing this news, a tyrannical aura emanated from the Godfiend's body, which was quickly absorbed by him.
He needed to completely subdue the giant bear before he could absorb what he needed from her body. Otherwise, he would have already killed her violently.
"Now that the giant bear's friend has come to find us, it's obvious that he has some unknown means to know the approximate location of the giant bear. The other party has the bloodline of the Ancient Phoenix, so the outer formation has no effect on her. Now that she's about to come here, she will discover the giant bear at the bottom of the abyss. We have no way to stop her," the purple-robed man braced himself and continued.
There was no other way. They had a lot of faith in the seal that the Godfiend had personally placed. In addition, this was a place where spiritual energy was scarce and even birds didn't shit, so there were no concealment formations set up.
"If it's really the Phoenix Clan, I would have to give her some leeway. But it's just some bloodline, I don't care. Last time, she escaped, and this time, she dares to walk right into the trap. Then, I'll capture her and make her pay for my actions," the Godfiend said gloomily.
"Lord Devil God, your strength is great. The other party is definitely not your opponent," the purple-robed man said flatteringly.
"When the other party discovers us, let her in. The outer defense won't be able to hold her for more than a few days. I'll first exhaust her vitality, then deal with her," the Godfiend thought for a moment and gave his order.
"Then I'll have the other subordinates hide first." Seeing the Godfiend so confident, he felt much more at ease and retreated with cupped hands.
There weren't many of them, but they were all elites. Every sacrifice was heartbreaking. They were all raised by the Godfiend, so naturally, they couldn't throw away their lives for no reason.
"Other than those who stay behind to maintain control, no one else is allowed to enter the abyss without my orders," the Godfiend ordered, then disappeared into the air.
It would still take some effort to lure the other party in perfectly and cut off her escape route.
Don't be fooled by how easy it sounded. He could defeat the other party, but the other party wasn't easy to deal with. If he wanted to capture the other party, he would have to cultivate for at least ten thousand years. If not for the fact that he still had an item in his hand, he wouldn't have been able to severely injure her so quickly.
This time, he would let the other party know what it meant to catch a turtle in a jar.
Outside, the Vermilion Bird naturally didn't know that there was a trap waiting for her. She was still sweeping the area one by one to find Xiong Lai's exact location. Even if she knew that there was a trap ahead, she would still charge forward without hesitation. Her relationship with Elder Xiong exceeded everything. If not for their mutual help back then, they would have long died.
Four days later, she suddenly stopped in a relatively spacious area. Her intuition told her that this was where Elder Xiong was imprisoned, unlike two days ago when she only found an empty stronghold.
Upon thinking of Elder Xiong, a red glow flashed in the Vermilion Bird's eyes. She naturally knew why Elder Xiong was captured. She also knew that the other party wouldn't be able to do anything to Elder Xiong even if they gave him a few hundred years. However, the pain he would suffer was unavoidable.
He took a deep breath, puffed up his mouth, and spat out a large amount of red flames from his mouth like raindrops falling from the sky.
Before they could fall far, the sound of rain hitting banana leaves could be heard in the air. Flames blossomed and burned fiercely. At this time, a layer of greenish-black shield rose from the flames, blocking the flames that filled the sky from descending.
As the flames spread out, the sky within a radius of ten miles was filled with flames. It was like a river of fire burning in the air. It was exceptionally spectacular.
The Vermilion Bird's eyes were fixed on the ground. Golden flames burned in her eyes. Through the barrier outside, she could easily see the scenery below.
In her eyes, the nearby mountains had already disappeared. The center of the mountain had sunk down by over a thousand meters. A huge black pit had appeared below. In the middle of the pit was a black stone peak that was several hundred meters tall. There were all sorts of runes that emitted a tyrannical aura carved on it.
At the bottom, a white bear that was over a hundred meters tall was tied to the stone peak. Thick blood-red chains were deeply embedded in her fur, firmly binding her. Tiny runes flickered on the chains as they entered the white bear's body.
Even though the white bear's eyes were tightly shut and seemed to be unconscious, her body was still trembling from the pain.
"Elder Xiong!"
The Vermilion Bird roared and confirmed Elder Xiong's specific location. Even if she did not know the location of the Demon God, he would definitely come here to stop her.
Before she could do anything else, the barrier in front of her that blocked the flames in the sky suddenly disappeared. Without the concealment array, the surroundings returned to their original appearance. The flames that had nowhere to attach to continued falling.
If nothing unexpected happened, it would be enough to ignite everything in the surroundings.
The Vermilion Bird only looked down and all the flames merged together. Then, they turned into a line of fire and were sucked into her stomach.
She did not know what the other party was up to to let her go so easily. However, there was a mountain of knives in front of her. She still had to give it a try.
As her body fell rapidly, a figure slowly appeared in front of Elder Xiong. He sneered at the figure that was falling from the sky.
"You're finally here."
When the Vermilion Bird landed in front of him, he said unhurriedly.
"If you know what's good for you, let Elder Xiong go. You go your way and I'll go mine. I can't be bothered to ask you about these trivial things." The Vermilion Bird raised her eyebrows and was about to get angry, but she still controlled her temper and said.
Even if Elder Xiong was standing behind the Demon God and it seemed that as long as she rushed up quickly, she could easily save him. However, that was just an illusion. If she really dared to not consider the opinion of the Demon God in front of her, she would probably end up like Elder Xiong. She was not stupid.
"Haha, you're too naive. I'd like to ask if your injuries have completely healed. Why are you so reckless?" The Demon God chuckled. However, those who were not familiar with him would not be able to see his expression from his extremely difficult to recognize face.
The Vermilion Bird could only feel from his voice that the Demon God did not seem to care at all. It was as if he was mocking her. Her heart immediately flew into a rage, but she still suppressed herself. She wanted to see what the Demon God was up to.
"What? Nothing to say? I understand now. Last time, you almost did not manage to escape. This time, you've specially come to accompany this one. You're really considerate of me, lest I have to look for you again. "The Demon God continued speaking as if he could not see the increasingly angry Vermilion Bird.
"Last time, I was careless. This time, do you think you can still hurt me?" Just as she was about to lose her temper and attack, the Vermilion Bird suddenly calmed down. There was no longer a trace of anger in her eyes.
"Is that so? Looks like you've received the guidance of an expert. Even your injuries have recovered. However, you're still too inexperienced to defeat me. You'd better call on your helpers. "The Demon God pointed at the Vermilion Bird as if he had seen through her plan.
"I don't have any helpers. I alone am enough to deal with you. I know you're trying to lure me over. You really have a lot of good stuff in your hands." The Vermilion Bird shook her head and said slowly.
"So what if you've seen through it? If you don't come over, I can't guarantee what I'll do." The Demon God swung his hand and dozens of black Sword Qi appeared out of thin air. Then, they flew back quickly.
"How dare you!"
The Vermilion Bird's eyes narrowed as she shouted.
Those black Sword Qi had already arrived in front of Elder Xiong and were constantly spitting out sharp glows. Even though these Sword Qi were like toothpicks compared to Elder Xiong's huge body, in the hands of the Demon God, the damage caused was abnormally huge.
"Of course I dare. Do you think I'm the same as you bunch of people who are swayed by emotions? Doing as we please is our character. As long as I'm willing, I can even kill her right now. Haha. "The Demon God's voice had just ended when he swung his arm down.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Those Flying Swords sped up and pierced into the surface of Elder Xiong's body. After a series of explosions, dozens of bloody holes appeared on Elder Xiong's body. Blood gushed out from the holes and Elder Xiong's body was instantly stained with blood.
"How's that?"
The Demon God raised his hand. This time, hundreds of Sword Qi floated in the air and flew back slowly.
Those dozens of basin-sized bloody holes had already made the Vermilion Bird's heart tremble. After seeing so many Sword Qi, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. She knew that the Demon God was deliberately baiting her.
If she really stayed where she was, she was afraid that Elder Xiong's body would suffer countless injuries. Although she knew that the other party wanted to use Elder Xiong and her as Blood Pills, the other party was also a Fiendcelestial. It was possible for him to slowly kill Elder Xiong in front of her.
The Vermilion Bird knew that she had no choice. Even if it was a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, she had to charge in. Seeing that the Demon God wanted to attack Elder Xiong again, she did not hesitate anymore. Her entire body instantly accelerated and rushed towards the Demon God.
Just like what the Demon God said, she had met a senior. Not only was his strength improved, but he had also given her a life-saving item. This was the thing that gave her the confidence to defeat the Demon God. She had a 70% chance of winning. To her, this was already a sure-win situation.
One had to know that the two sides had already known each other. Without confidence, she would not dare to come alone. However, as she rushed over, she also sent a message to Gu Zheng.
She did not want him to come over because he was too weak. Back then, she had just casually mentioned it. She did not expect him to agree. Even if she did not want to tell him, she would not go back on her words. If she told him now, she would have already won by the time he found this place.
She felt that it was impossible for her to lose. Even if she lost, she could let the Demon God know her final position and prevent him from coming over to die.
However, she definitely did not expect that Gu Zheng was not far from here and was rushing over. After all, how could there be such a coincidence in the Wilderness?
However, it was such a coincidence. If she had come a little earlier, Gu Zheng would still be in the Black Dungeon and would not have received her message. If she had come a little later, she was afraid that Gu Zheng would have run off somewhere. Even if he came, it would take a lot of time.
"You came at the right time. Let me see what you're capable of."
The Demon God laughed out loud. Then, a black light suddenly appeared in front of him and enveloped him and the Vermilion Bird. In a breath's time, the two of them had completely disappeared. No one knew where they were.
What was even more surprising was that Elder Xiong, who was originally covered in blood, did not have any signs of injury. Everything just now was just an illusion.
The Demon God would not interrupt Elder Xiong who had fallen into a nightmare state. Once he woke up, he would have to waste a lot of time. For creatures with ancient bloodlines, they were very powerful and did not have much of a background. They were extremely rare.
There were many Goblin. However, he knew that if he dared to have any designs on them, he would die without a burial ground. Otherwise, he would not have kept such a low profile.
In this world, it was not up to them to decide. Moreover, they were just fragments that had escaped and not their original bodies. Even if their original bodies were here, they could not be so arrogant. After all, there was a Saint above them.
As the two of them disappeared, the entire Abyss regained its peace. For some reason, the defensive formation that was supposed to be activated did not activate. It exposed this area openly.
.....
Five days later, the two of them, who had not rested along the way, arrived outside this area.
"Seems like this is the lair of the Demon God." As Gu Zheng stopped at a place not far away, he sensed for a while and said to Meng Zhen who was beside him.
"Are we just going to barge in like this? Will there be any problems? "Meng Zhen looked into the distance. However, he did not discover anything and asked worriedly.
"My friend, Zhu Niao, has already entered. Before we intervene, at least we don't have to worry about the Demon God attacking us. At most, we will only have to face his subordinates." Gu Zheng said with certainty after observing the area ahead.
He did not feel that there was anything wrong with Zhu Niao entering without waiting for him. After all, he knew what Zhu Niao was thinking at that time. However, he felt that Zhu Niao would need at least a hundred years to recover from his injuries. Now that he had come out earlier, it was obvious that something had happened in between.
It was a pity. If he could wait for another hundred years, he would have reached the peak of Grand Heavenly Realm by then. He would have the confidence to defeat the Demon God. However, on the other hand, if that was the case, with the Demon God's plan, the Demon God might really soar into the sky and enter the Sage-to-be Realm.
At that time, it would be very difficult for a Quasi-Sage to kill them.
Gu Zheng suddenly thought that this might be the best time to kill the Demon God. He had snatched the Origin Bead and disrupted the Demon God's plan. With the help of Zhu Niao, he could be said to have a strong army. If he could release Elder Xiong, it would be very easy for him to kill the Demon God.
If he eliminated the Demon God in advance, he would not have to worry about the backlash from the Origin Bead. He could focus on advancing into the Sage-to-be Realm.
It was not easy to advance into the Sage-to-be Realm. With the experience he had once, he was very confident.
If he relied on the accumulation of energy to break through, he would at most reach the late Heavenly Immortal Realm. If his state of mind could not keep up, it would be extremely difficult to break through. Especially when Jin Xian advanced into the Grand Heavenly Realm. It was almost an insurmountable mountain for ordinary people.
"Are you thinking about how to deal with the Demon God? What's the result? " Meng Zhen saw that Gu Zheng seemed to be deep in thought and did not disturb him. She hurriedly asked when she saw that Gu Zheng seemed to have made up his mind.
"As for how to deal with the Demon God, I will have to see the Demon God and observe the situation. However, before that, we can eliminate his underlings to reduce the pressure on us." Gu Zheng had already made up his mind and immediately said to Meng Zhen.
"I see. That's an excellent idea. Just leave it to me." After hearing Gu Zheng's suggestion, Meng Zhen immediately agreed. Even if she had to play a dangerous role in it.
However, she now had Mao Zhen and this little bit of danger was nothing to her.
