"Lord Purple, aren't we going to the bottom of the valley to continue torturing that giant bear?"
A mountain outside the valley had long been excavated and became the residence of the Black God's subordinates. At this moment, everyone was gathered here and one of the subordinates asked the purple-robed man.
"There's no need. Lord Demon God told us not to meddle in the affairs inside. It's not something we can meddle in. Just stay here and wait for Lord Demon God to emerge victorious before continuing our business," the purple-robed man shook his head and said.
There were more than a dozen people here. Except for two of them who were at the peak of Jin Xian, the others were all at the Grand Heavenly Realm and above. If outsiders were to see them, they would be shocked.
It was hard to see Grand Heavenly Realm experts outside, but here they were in groups. Moreover, all of them were subordinates of a certain person. It was simply unimaginable.
Although these people had high cultivation, if one were to look carefully, one would notice that their aura was fluctuating and their foundation was unstable. It was as if they had been forcefully raised by someone. In fact, it was the Demon God who had used evil means to raise their cultivation. In order to advance, they were willing to risk their lives for the Demon God.
Unfortunately, except for the purple-robed man, the others were basically at the early stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm. There were a few good seedlings who had advanced to the middle stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm. However, due to other reasons, they died outside. Only the purple-robed man reached the late stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm.
Of course, the purple-robed man was very clear that if it wasn't for his usefulness, his loyalty to the Demon God was unwavering. Otherwise, he would have died long ago. Therefore, he would risk his life for the Demon God.
He also clearly knew that it was very difficult to advance after being forcefully raised. It was very easy for an accident to happen in the body. This was something he only knew after being saved by the Demon God. However, he didn't tell the others about it. Anyway, they were already very excited to be able to advance. They didn't care much about whether they could advance or not.
Who asked them to be absolutely unable to advance before? They were already very satisfied with such good fortune.
"Eh, another person broke in from outside?"
Just as the purple-robed man was about to convey the Demon God's message to let these restless people stay here, one of the subordinates was a little surprised. Then, he shot out a cloud of water mist.
Above, everyone could clearly see that a beautiful woman had already stepped onto the edge of the mountain peak and was still flying towards the depths. That was where the bottom of the abyss was located.
"Why would an outsider barge in at this time?"
"Is the other party the helper of that woman from before? Otherwise, how could he be able to determine that location?"
When the others saw this scene, they shouted in a mess. It was as if this was a market, and his prestige was not high. They only listened to the orders of the Lord Demon God.
"Quiet, quiet!" The purple-robed man shouted from the side, but it didn't have much effect. Only a few people who obeyed him looked at him quietly.
"Should we stop him? There is no longer any defense there. He will be able to enter unimpeded."
Many people agreed with one of them. They all stood up and wanted to go out and stop the other party.
One had to know that because the Godfiend kept a low profile, most of them were unable to leave this place. It was abnormally boring here. Now that an enemy had finally appeared, they could not help but feel excited.
As for the other party's strength, they could sense a little. It was about the same as theirs, but with so many of them, how could they be afraid of him?
"Quiet down!"
The purple-robed man suddenly roared. The people who stood up below heard the anger in his voice and looked at him. However, they finally quieted down.
"The Godfiend's orders are not to leave this place no matter what. Did you forget what I said just now? Do you want to taste the punishment?" The purple-robed man said angrily.
"Of course we know, but the other party is approaching that place. Now that all the defense measures have been shut down, what if the other party releases the giant bear?" One of the people below said.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. The Godfiend's orders are not to let us out. If anyone disobeys, don't blame me for reporting the truth." The purple-robed man's eyes swept across the crowd coldly, causing everyone to feel a chill in their hearts. They did not dare to look him in the eye.
When the crowd heard that the other party had taken out the Godfiend, they did not dare to force their way out. They all returned to their original positions and quieted down.
When the purple-robed man saw this, he smiled in satisfaction. Then, he looked at the sky and could not help but frown. At this moment, the water curtain was still following the other party. It was obvious that the other party was heading towards the imprisoned giant bear. It was as the people below said, the other party seemed to know the location.
Once the other party entered that place and did something irreversible, he would be very unlucky.
Even though he was usually smart, he could not help but feel a little helpless. On one hand, the Godfiend had repeatedly emphasized that they must not go to the abyss. On the other hand, someone was already flying there. He did not know what the other party wanted to do.
He was a little flustered, but no one could see it on the surface. This was because the Godfiend hated it when people disobeyed his orders. Once they were seen as disloyal, they would be severely punished or even killed. However, if the other party pried open the seal of the giant bear, they would probably be dead.
Just as he was feeling conflicted, Meng Zhen outside had already reached the bottom of the abyss.
"Gu Zheng, I see a huge mountain. There's an equally huge white bear below it. However, I don't see your other companion or the Godfiend." Meng Zhen stopped in the air and looked around to prevent anyone from sneaking up on her. On the other hand, she whispered to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng could also see what she saw. He attached a strand of Divine Thought to Meng Zhen so that he could command her from afar.
"It's a little strange. Stay where you are and check out the surroundings. Especially if there's an ambush below."
Gu Zheng was also very puzzled. According to the aura left behind by the Vermilion Bird, the other party had only been here for a few days. She had said that she was only slightly weaker than the other party. This time, she had come out of seclusion early and her strength had increased tremendously. Even with her previous strength, it was impossible for her to be killed by the other party in such a short time.
"I'm in front of the giant bear below. I can feel the aura of the Godfiend. There's also an unfamiliar aura that confronted him for some time. Then, they both disappeared. There are no signs of fighting around." Meng Zhen suddenly said after looking around.
Compared to Gu Zheng who only had a strand of Divine Thought, she was naturally able to discover more problems.
"There are no signs of fighting. Go take a look first. Don't go near the giant bear." Gu Zheng was even more curious. He instructed Meng Zhen to proceed with the next step. "Be 120% vigilant now. Pay attention to the other party. If there's anything wrong, retreat immediately."
"Understood." Meng Zhen said sternly. Then, she said to Mao Zhen who was guarding, "You'll have to put in more effort. The hope of escaping is on you."
"As long as you don't ask me to deal with the Godfiend, everything else is fine." Mao Zhen was very obedient at this moment. He was no longer as arrogant as before. After hearing that the enemy was a Peak Grand Heavenly Realm expert, he immediately became much more obedient. He was no longer arrogant and obediently stayed in Meng Zhen's hands. He did not even mention the idea of going out alone.
"Don't worry. We're just supporting. Someone else will deal with him." Meng Zhen agreed readily.
Even if Meng Zhen did not ask him to deal with him, he would not be foolish enough to take the initiative to get beaten up. He knew very well how many moves he could take from the other party. He would not do something that was beyond his ability.
The journey that usually took a few breaths took a full 15 minutes this time. Meng Zhen, who was almost stopping every step, finally reached the bottom.
Even though the white bear was unconscious at this moment, Meng Zhen could still feel an immense pressure from the other party. He was extremely shocked. The Godfiend could actually capture a Peak Grand Heavenly Realm expert alive. This was much more difficult than killing him.
"Avoid the front. Go around from the side." At this moment, Gu Zheng's voice was heard again.
"What did you discover?" Meng Zhen asked as he moved carefully.
"Nothing. However, we're all here and there's no guard. This is very unusual." Gu Zheng also did not know that there was a limit to what he could do with his Divine Thought.
"Then what should we do next?" Meng Zhen asked subconsciously.
"It's very simple. Our initial target was not my friend. Moreover, I'm sure that there's a trap waiting for us here. The only loophole is that the Godfiend is not here. We'll make use of this and follow the original plan. First, we'll lure the other party's subordinates out."
Gu Zheng was very confident this time. He did not forget about the purple-robed man. Moreover, even the weak Godfiend had so many subordinates. He did not believe that there was no one in his lair. As long as he got rid of those troublesome fellows first, he would be able to do other things freely.
"Alright!"
Meng Zhen didn't think too much about it. After spending a long time, he circled to the back. Under Gu Zheng's arrangement, he stood at a distance that was neither too far nor too close. He even took out his scroll and began to prepare.
"Lord Zi, the other party has started to make his move."
In the mountain beside, a purple-robed subordinate could not help but say.
"Let's wait a little longer. How can the other party shake the seal of the Godfiend?" The purple-robed man stared at the surface and pretended to be relaxed. In fact, he was starting to get nervous. If something really went wrong, he would be done for.
Hearing the purple-robed man's words, the subordinate did not say anything. As for the others, they stood aside as if they were watching a joke. No matter what, they would only listen to the purple-robed man. If anything happened, he would take care of it.
However, his expression changed quickly and he shouted to the crowd, "A few of you come with me. Let's chase the other party away."
On the water screen, the seal actually started to shake under the woman's interference. He immediately made a decision.
"Lord Zi, bring me along. What if it's an ambush by the other party? We can't add fuel to the fire."
The crowd who had been waiting for a long time stood up and asked to follow him. One of them even gave a reasonable suggestion.
"Half of you follow me. The other half will guard outside. We can't let the other party escape."
The purple-robed man thought. Since he had already shown himself, he did not care if these people were exposed. It would be easier to capture the other party and ask about the situation outside. Moreover, with their strength, they could definitely shock the woman's companions and buy more time for the Godfiend.
Everyone cheered and then rushed out behind the purple-robed man.
Half of them stayed outside. However, everyone knew that they had to hide their presence and spread out in all directions, completely blocking all escape routes.
The other half followed the purple-robed man and rushed towards the abyss. They also hid their presence. When they knew that they were close enough, they all rushed towards Meng Zhen.
"Be careful!"
Mao Zhen, who was extremely nervous, immediately noticed people coming from all directions. Before Meng Zhen could react, he held Meng Zhen's hand and drew in the air. Then, a golden light burst out from Mao Zhen's body and enveloped Meng Zhen. Then, he turned into a golden light and ran towards the predetermined route with Meng Zhen.
"Where do you think you're going?"
The purple-robed man shouted. At the same time, he threw out a black rope from his hand. It wrapped around the golden light at an even faster speed.
The others also came from all directions and blocked the way. Once Meng Zhen's speed was reduced, she would have to face attacks from all directions. Even if she had three heads and six arms, she would not be a match for them.
However, Meng Zhen also reacted at this moment. She took out a piece of white paper and it quickly expanded to about ten feet in front of her. Then, she dived into it. The white paper disappeared in the air with a swoosh. The purple-robed man and the rest who were chasing after her were stunned. In just a breath's time, when she reappeared, she had already escaped from their encirclement.
However, she had only escaped from the first level. The black rope behind her only changed direction and continued to chase after Meng Zhen. There were also many enemies outside who were chasing after her.
Now, she was in the middle of two encirclement. Some attacks were flying towards her from afar to interrupt her spell.
Meng Zhen did not plan to escape again. She quickly looked around and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she landed on one of the mountains on the side. It seemed like she wanted to use the terrain below to get rid of them.
"We want her alive. You guys stay outside and guard. The rest of you, follow me. If anyone dares to cause trouble, the Demon God will be watching." The purple-robed man wanted to command so many people. He had to take out the Demon God.
After the purple-robed man said that, the people outside looked disappointed. However, they still followed his instructions and set up a trap for the people inside. Meng Zhen would not be able to escape even if she had wings.
At this moment, the black rope finally caught up with Meng Zhen. It wrapped around her body and slowed her down. However, there was a cave in front of her and Meng Zhen dived into it without hesitation.
After seeing Meng Zhen enter one of the caves, they lost track of her. However, the purple-robed man shouted to the rest.
"I have already tied her up and she is still inside. She won't be able to escape in a short period of time. Surround her slowly."
"Will there be any problems?"
At the back, the two Jin Xian who were too weak did not go up. They were far behind. One of them was puzzled as he asked his companion.
"Everyone knows that there is something wrong. I feel that the other party purposely let the black rope tie her up." His companion said with certainty. When he saw that the others were not paying attention to them, he secretly sent a message to him and said something that made him tremble in fear.
"I feel that it is not right for us to rely on the Demon God."
"What do you mean?"
"Haven't you noticed? Although these people still retain their own consciousness, their personalities have all become very strange. In other words, they do whatever they want. They don't have any superfluous thoughts. Only Lord Purple Robe is barely holding on." His companion said cautiously.
"You are saying that they are being controlled?" Obviously, the purple-robed man did not understand what his companion meant. However, he knew that he was not smart enough. He continued to look at the purple-robed man in confusion, wanting to hear his explanation.
"They are not being controlled. They are still themselves. It is just that the shackles in their hearts have completely lost their effect. They do everything without thinking about the consequences. For example, in front of us, we can all see that the other party is purposely luring them. However, none of them can see that. Even the purple-robed man has lost his ability to judge under the interference of others. He is like a fool." His companion said straightforwardly.
He had also found out about this place by chance. Hence, he came here because of its reputation. After a series of tests, he finally entered. However, it was not long before the Demon God had the time to deal with them. Hence, he had been waiting here.
"No wonder these people usually don't go out. Even those who go out have to get the Demon God's permission." After hearing his companion's words, he instantly understood the problem.
In other words, if they received the Demon God's blessings, their cultivation would definitely increase. However, they could no longer control their own thoughts. They would do whatever they wanted. If they were in a place and could not go out, it would be fine. However, if they were outside, no matter how high their cultivation was, there would be someone who would take care of them.
They were all old foxes with many years of experience. Naturally, they knew that if they could not control themselves, they would die sooner or later.
"Doesn't that mean the purple-robed man and the others are in big trouble?"
"What does that have to do with us? If the two of us go up, we will only be sending ourselves to our deaths. How can we get involved in that kind of battle? Looks like my judgment was wrong this time. Let's leave quickly." His companion turned around and prepared to fly out. Seeing that he was still standing there, he could not help but urge, "What are you still standing there for? We have been friends for so many years. Don't you trust me?"
"No, of course I trust you." As companions who had gone through life and death together countless times, if they did not support each other, they would have died along the way. However, he was still a little worried, "But if we run like this, what if the Demon God comes after us?"
"Look at this Demon God. Don't be fooled by his strength. We have learned a lot these days. The other party is very timid. He has only gone out a few times. The operation outside is to be safe. Although his strength is not enough to keep a low profile, it also means that as long as we run far away, the other party will not waste their attention on us."
His companion knew what he was worried about. They really could not leave alone. He immediately explained, "It's these people who came after us. If we were not caught in front of them, they would not be able to catch us."
"Alright, since that's the case, let's leave quickly."
The two of them immediately turned around and sped up. On the other side, the people who were still focused on capturing Meng Zhen did not realize that someone had betrayed them and left.
