"Is there really no problem?"
Far away, Meng Zhen, who was panting, asked Gu Zheng.
Her question was not because she was concerned about the monster that was sent far away. However, what Gu Zheng said just now made her hesitate. She felt that she couldn't do it and was mainly afraid that she would delay Gu Zheng's matter.
"There's definitely no problem!" Gu Zheng praised Meng Zhen, which was rare. "Your cultivation is not weak. Don't compare yourself with me. The training I went through in my early years is much harder than what you see. There are so many things that I can't even remember them."
"Now that you're working together with Mao Zhen, ordinary mid-stage Grand Heavenly Immortals are no match for you. Believe in yourself!"
"But if I go alone to awaken Elder Xiong, I'm afraid that if I fail, it will affect your side." Meng Zhen felt warm in her heart, but she still couldn't help but say.
"Don't worry, I believe that you can do it. If it really doesn't work, you can destroy the node bit by bit outside and then try again. I will buy you a lot of time. Don't worry, I will go out and help you if you really can't do it."
Gu Zheng's words reassured Meng Zhen. She nodded and didn't say anything else.
"When my side starts to accept, you can leave. Be careful and don't get teleported here again." Gu Zheng instructed. After that, he strode forward. Meng Zhen remained where he was and watched as Gu Zheng's figure disappeared into the distance.
At this time, they had already crossed the huge space in the middle and stopped at the connecting point. The place where they were fighting was in front of them. However, when they arrived here, the battle had already stopped, as if it was waiting for them.
After the ghost was ambushed by Gu Zheng for the last time, it didn't follow them again. It was unknown whether it was injured or because of some kind of order. Meng Zhen thought that it should be the latter. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so quiet.
On the way, Gu Zheng had already told her that her means couldn't hurt the other party, but she could destroy the situation in the other party's body. Even if the other party appeared again, its strength would be weakened by at least 30%.
As for what it was, she was naturally not unfamiliar with the aura that flashed out. It was a black stone that belonged to the bottom. It was many times stronger than Ren Xue's. She still had some in her hands. When she needed to recover, she would also need to consume some. The medicinal pills outside had an extremely weak effect on her. Hence, she would do her best to injure herself above.
These black stones were unexpectedly effective against the people of the Untainted Land. However, they could not be exposed outside for too long. Otherwise, people would be tempted. If they were used as hidden weapons to hurt people, their value would be very low. After all, there were too many things that could replace them.
Seeing Gu Zheng disappear into the distance, Meng Zhen swallowed the black stone and began to recover. The series of opening the tunnel and escaping in fear had exhausted her and Mao Zhen.
In the spacious hall inside, the Devil God and the Vermilion Bird once again stood facing each other. In just half a day, the state of the two people had undergone great changes.
Compared to before, both of them had countless scars on their bodies. At this moment, they were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, from the outside, both of them had returned to their original appearance. It seemed that there was no problem, but each of them knew the extent of the other's injuries.
That was because the Vermilion Bird knew what it needed. Relying on its phoenix bloodline, it had an extremely strong recovery ability. It had no intention of tangling with the other party at all. It fought with the other party as if it wanted to perish together with the other party.
How could the Devil God be afraid of the other party? He also had the ability to transfer damage. Like the other party, he simply did not dodge or evade. Similarly, he fiercely attacked the other party's vital points.
The two of them fought like this for half a day. Both of them only suffered minor injuries. Strictly speaking, the Vermilion Bird's injuries were more serious than the other party's.
The Vermilion Bird was dispelling the tyrannical power left in the other party's body, and the Devil God was similarly dispelling the power that was like an endless flame in his body. The two of them were now in a temporary balance, waiting for the other party to come over.
The Devil God naturally knew what had happened in front of him. He was even more interested in this person. He did not think that his little fellow had suffered a great loss and even lost a lot of energy. Instead, he pulled the monster up. Now, it was lying in the pool again. However, more than half of the Soul River's water in the pool had begun to slowly descend, even though the water flowing from the top was faster and denser.
Because of the nearby enchantment, the Vermilion Bird only vaguely knew that someone was coming over. As for who it was, she had no way of knowing. However, from the Devil God's tone, she could tell that it was not the Devil God's people. In fact, she was also very curious. She had only been here for a few days, but someone dared to step into this place. It seemed like they had been following her.
Therefore, she was very curious and was also waiting. She wanted to see who this person was and why he had the confidence to interfere. Of course, she hoped that he was an enemy of the Godfiend. That way, the pressure on her would be greatly reduced. If he wanted to take advantage of the situation, she would not give him the chance.
Just as she was wondering who this person was, the figure quickly approached here and soon reached the enchantment outside. Since the Devil God deliberately went easy on him, the enchantment outside was directly broken and he broke in. Otherwise, this enchantment would have at least blocked the other party for a few days.
If the Devil God kept replenishing the enchantment, the other party would not be able to enter this place.
Seeing the face of the person who came, the Vermilion Bird really could not maintain her calm expression. She really did not expect it and shouted with some surprise.
"Gu Zheng!"
"Surprised, right? When I received your message, I was nearby, so I quickly rushed over here." Gu Zheng laughed and came to the Vermilion Bird's side. Then, he pretended to complain.
"Didn't we agree to go together last time? Why did you leave me alone?"
"No, this time, time is a little tight. Besides, I didn't know you were here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited for you." The Vermilion Bird looked up and down at Gu Zheng. She was slightly stunned and continued.
"What kind of fortuitous encounter did you encounter these days? In the blink of an eye, your cultivation has reached such a level."
Not much time had passed since the last time she'd parted with Gu Zheng. She originally thought that he was still standing on the same spot, and this was extremely normal. But now it would seem like he could break through to the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm at any moment, and his foundation didn't seem to be unstable at all. This simply caused her to be extremely shocked.
"You stole my good things and killed my people. It's normal for you to have such a cultivation."
Gu Zheng did not say anything, but the Devil God snorted coldly and spoke.
"That's right. Your things are of great help to me. However, you killed the innocent and used countless lives to create this thing. I'm here to seek justice from you on behalf of them." Gu Zheng looked at the Devil God and said righteously.
"Hypocrite. Do you dare say that you've never done something unspeakable for your own desires?" The Devil God retorted disdainfully.
"If others don't offend me, I won't offend them. I can swear to Heaven and Earth that I naturally have no intention of harming the innocent." Gu Zheng said without any fluctuation in his eyes. "As for people like you, you are the evils of the world. I can't control all the evils in the world, but if I can do it, I will never let you go."
Gu Zheng said it calmly without any hesitation. Obviously, it was from the bottom of his heart.
Although he was not the kind of person who would give up everything for the world, he only wanted to protect his brothers and friends. He could do it with a clear conscience. This was also the deepest obsession in his heart.
"You're ambitious enough. Unfortunately, you don't have the final say in this world. Even if you don't offend others, others will still offend you. You'll only suffer more losses. Don't you see the consequences? Only by becoming strong can you protect everything. "The Devil God did not care at all and took the opportunity to say it.
"Don't try to tempt my friends. You can see that there are people like you standing at the peak." The Vermilion Bird stepped forward and shouted angrily. The decadent voice in the air was immediately dispersed.
"That's because the other party has a layer of daoism on the outside. In reality, there's no difference between us. You fight, I fight." The Devil God laughed and said directly.
"Doing things according to the rules is different from doing things according to the rules. You've transcended the rules, so there's no need to say more. This time, it's your time of death. Let's see what other moves you have.
Let's see what you can do. "Gu Zheng took out his Cloud Desolate Sword and pointed it at the Devil God. At the same time, he said to the Vermilion Bird privately.
"The other party has a guy hiding behind. He's very strong. One of my friends is not weak. Let's hold him back first and release Old Xiong. Then, we'll deal with him."
At the same time, he told the Vermilion Bird some of the information he had so that the other party would know what to do.
The Vermilion Bird was stunned. She did not notice it when she came in. However, she was puzzled. Why didn't the other party release him earlier? Otherwise, she would have been at a disadvantage. However, the other party waited until now and did not release him. It was as if he wanted to fight the two of them alone.
Although she had not interacted much with Gu Zheng, the weapon in his hand was not ordinary. With his cultivation level, he was confident in dealing with the Devil God. Since that was the case, the two of them dealing with the other party together would be more stable and confident.
"So, in the end, we still have to fight. What are you waiting for? Regardless of whether you want to save the other party or if you need to break your oath, I'm here." The Demonic God didn't care and shouted at them.
"Go!"
The Vermilion Bird and Gu Zheng looked left and right. They did not understand what the Devil God was planning at this time. However, they knew that they had the same desire now, to kill the other party.
The Vermilion Bird's body turned into a line of fire in the air and rushed up. A layer of raging fire immediately spread out on her palm. Then, it formed a delicate short sword in her hand. A lifelike phoenix pattern was on the surface of the sword. As she waved it, a faint phoenix cry could be heard.
Now that the two of them were working together, they naturally would not be entangled with the other party like before.
Gu Zheng went around from the side. The Cloud Desolate Sword in his hand was not inferior. It was as if he wanted to fight with the other party. As he waved it, afterimages followed behind him. It made people feel as if they were facing at least four weapons in front of them. They could not tell which one was the real one.
The Devil God was facing a pincer attack from two people. This time, he was not careless. However, he still did not take out his weapon. His pair of hands that could change at will was his greatest weapon.
Even when facing the other party's weapon, it was not inferior. In addition, it could change at will. Obviously, the other party was more difficult to deal with.
The Vermilion Bird and Gu Zheng did not hold back at all. They were fully focused on attacking the other party. Even if it was the first time the two of them worked together, they had a high degree of tacit understanding.
However, if the other party was plotting something, it would be best if they could completely kill the other party in one go.
The Vermilion Bird was the main attacker, while Gu Zheng was the roaming one. From time to time, he would rush up. The three of them were in a state of anxiety.
None of the three of them were ordinary people. They had a lot of battle experience. It was impossible to suppress the other party in a short period of time. Even if Gu Zheng and the other party had a slight advantage, this advantage would only show over a long period of time.
Now, the three of them had their own thoughts. They did not want to fight to the death for a while. Just like that, they were in a deadlock.
When the battle began, Meng Zhen, who was at the back, sensed the movements in front. She also began to move. She took out Mao Zhen and drew in the air. Soon, a thin line appeared in the air.
This was a simple outline. It only had the appearance. It looked similar to Meng Zhen. Meng Zhen breathed out and a figure that looked exactly like Meng Zhen appeared in front of her.
However, the figure's face was stiff and its eyes were blank. It stood there like a block of wood. It was obvious that it was fake. It did not even have a cultivation base. Only the aura on its body was exactly the same as Meng Zhen's. Just by looking at the aura, no one could tell if it was real or fake because it was real.
After doing all this, she took out a piece of white paper and placed it on the ground. The white paper, which was about the size of a handkerchief, immediately expanded to the size of a table. A small black hole appeared in the middle of the paper. It seemed to be connected to the other side.
The puppet, Meng Zhen, was placed on the white paper. The next moment, the small hole below suddenly expanded and swallowed the puppet. Meng Zhen followed closely behind the puppet and jumped into the white paper as well.
After the two of them disappeared, a ball of flames appeared on the white paper and burned it, leaving no traces behind.
At the same time, at the bottom of the abyss, not far from Elder Xiong, a piece of white paper suddenly appeared in the air. The two Meng Zhen's fell from it one after another.
The moment Meng Zhen came out, she grabbed the fake Meng Zhen and threw her outside. She retracted her aura and landed on the ground.
A few rays of black light flashed and the fake Meng Zhen disappeared. The black fog that had gone berserk because of her arrival also calmed down and ignored Meng Zhen.
Seeing this, Meng Zhen finally calmed down. She had succeeded in swapping the crown prince with a raccoon. The other party thought that by banishing her once again, they would not notice her. As long as she did not do anything too overboard, she would have a stable footing here.
Although this method seemed simple, apart from her, even Gu Zheng could not do it so perfectly. She felt quite proud of herself. However, after looking at the powerful Elder Xiong, she felt a headache coming on.
His gaze continued to look upwards. Only when his head was about to reach its limit did he see the node that Gu Zheng had told him about. The location was not hidden. The main reason was that there was a layer of hard black rock outside, blocking everyone from prying into it.
Meng Zhen took a look and confirmed the location. She lowered her head again and looked at the sleeping Elder Xiong. She decided to go in and save him first.
Along the way, Meng Zhen had a rough idea of what was going on with Elder Xiong. She was not as confused as before. She did not even know where to start. This gave her a hint. She did not even know what kind of person Elder Xiong was, so it would be difficult to pull him back. However, with Elder Xiong's strength, it would be difficult to use violence to pull him back.
After observing the surroundings, Meng Zhen did not go near Elder Xiong. Instead, she hid in a very secluded place. She picked up a few rocks to cover her body. She comforted herself and sat down cross-legged.
She could only watch Mao Zhen protect her. Once she went in, she would not know what was going on outside. If there was really a powerful enemy, she would not even know how she died.
This was also why they had to get rid of Elder Xiong's subordinates first. Only a few of them would be able to come out and deal with them. At this moment, Meng Zhen really admired Gu Zheng's foresight. He seemed to have guessed everything.
After collecting her thoughts, Meng Zhen stabilized her breathing. Soon, a black ray of light flew out from her head and went straight to the middle of the giant bear's eyebrows. All that was left was an empty shell. Mao Zhen was already floating in front of her chest. She was glowing slightly, protecting her.
On the other side, Meng Zhen entered Elder Xiong's body. She found that the surroundings were pitch black, but she was not anxious.
Even if she had Gu Zheng's support and could only make Elder Xiong let down his guard, she still had to go through some memories to enter Elder Xiong's Nightmare Realm.
In other words, she only had to stand here and look at some of Elder Xiong's memories, and she would automatically enter Elder Xiong's Nightmare Realm.
Without Gu Zheng's help, even if an outsider wanted to save her and barge in, they would be met with Elder Xiong's instinctive resistance. This was because in Elder Xiong's memories, Elder Xiong did not know you at all. If you wanted to barge in, it would naturally take a lot of effort. You could even get lost in Elder Xiong's memories. It was extremely dangerous.
Soon, the surrounding darkness was dispelled. Her surroundings appeared in a world of ice and snow. Meng Zhen seemed to be standing in mid-air. Her body could not move. She looked at the changes in her surroundings quickly, like a passerby.
Soon, her eyes fell on the world below. At this moment, it was a world close to an ocean. Everywhere was white snow, and the whole world was covered in silver. At the edge of the world, there was an obviously majestic white bear. It was carrying its babies and walking with difficulty in the snow.
This white bear was thirty feet tall. Even so, half of its legs were buried in the snow. It was obvious how thick the snow was. However, there were no snowflakes in the sky at this moment. A ray of golden sunlight passed through the thick clouds and shone on the ground below.
Meng Zhen turned her head and looked around. The distance was already a little hazy. It seemed that in Elder Xiong's memories, it was a little blurry. She then lowered her head and looked at a small white bear. Her intuition told her that the white bear that was born not long ago was the current Elder Xiong.
