In the sky, a red river that looked like blood was flowing slowly. It was also the only source of light in this spacious space.
On the black barren land below, there was a very inconspicuous hillside. There was not even a blade of grass growing outside, only a mess of gravel. A cold wind blew past, and a few stones rolled along the hillside into the distance.
The interior of the hillside had been completely hollowed out. In the small space, there was only a simple formation, and a beautiful woman was sitting on top of it.
On her shoulder and waist, there were a few wounds that had not completely healed. She was simply protecting them so that they did not bleed, but the pain was unbearable.
It was not that she did not want to heal them, but that she did not have any extra Fa Li to do so. These precious Fa Li had to be used in the most critical areas, and she had gotten used to this kind of pain.
She took out an item from her hand and swallowed it. She knew that this was the last item that could replenish her magical energy. There was nothing else after that. If it was about time, the other party should have caught up. Who asked her to be the last person with a special ability here?
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed. In the sky above the hillside, a few figures had already occupied the four corners, silently looking down.
After a while, when they were done, one of the leaders took a step forward, and a black beam of light instantly shot down from his hand.
At the same time, a figure flew out from below. Looking at the people around him, he could not help but laugh.
"I did not expect that you would join forces this time. You really think highly of me. It seems that you have already divided yourselves."
"Huo Feng, we have already come to this point. What are you still struggling for? Do you think you can still hold on? If I am not wrong, you have already run out of food and ammunition. "The one who stood out to attack first was a stooped old man. He was trying his best to persuade him.
"You are really funny. If I don't hold on, will I give myself to you? Am I stupid or are you stupid? "Huo Feng looked around and could not help but laugh.
"No matter what, you can't run away this time. Killing you can maintain our place for at least ten thousand years." A woman covered in ice and snow shouted.
"Xuan Bing, after so many years, you are still so irritable. It seems that I have not beaten you into submission." Huo Feng turned around and looked at her.
This made Xuan Bing angry. "If it were not for the trouble here, do you think you would still be standing here?"
In the end, for some people, this world was simply a very bad place. On the contrary, for people like Huo Feng, it was like a fish in water. After all, everyone's living habits were different. However, for people of their level, the interference was less.
"Come, I won't run away this time. Regardless of life or death, I'll drag you all down with me," Huo Feng said in a carefree manner. He wasn't afraid of the enemies who weren't inferior to him.
"I'm sorry, Sister Huofeng. If my sacrifice is useful, I won't make things difficult for you." A girl who looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old said apologetically to Huo Feng. However, Huo Feng only sneered at her.
.....
"Haha, why are you asking for trouble? Speaking of which, even we don't believe your words." The last man beside her couldn't help but laugh when he saw the girl's face turn red with anger.
. "" Alright, now that we have trapped him here, we can't let our guard down. We will not have such a good opportunity next time. "The old man stopped the girl from refuting and immediately said to her.
The others nodded. They knew what the old man was talking about. This time, they used the last set of formations in their hands to stop the enemy from escaping. If they failed this time, not to mention exhausting their strength, as long as the enemy kept running, they would not be able to catch him. They would be forced into a deep sleep and then die.
For some reason, the situation here had changed too quickly. The originally abundant Ling Qi had begun to dissipate rapidly. One should know that the environment here was not good. They had to resist the corrosion of the outside at all times. If they did not replenish their energy, they would die sooner or later.
After some people died, some people gathered together and created a place that could barely hold on. Basically, it was no different from seclusion. They could only maintain themselves.
Some of the smarter ones teamed up and captured some of the weaker ones, using them as cornerstones. Unexpectedly, the mana in their bodies was still useful. Using the pure mana in their bodies, they greatly extended the time that the defensive positions could be used.
Then, the place became chaotic. All kinds of more intense battles began. The big fish ate the small fish, and the small fish ate the shrimps. In this chaos, when everyone woke up, more than half of them had died. Even so, there was no big conflict now. They were still secretly fighting for survival.
"Are you finally done with your nonsense? I thought you were going to mock me. "Huo Feng's body lit up with flames, illuminating the surroundings.
"Don't talk nonsense. This time, you are dead. If you don't want to suffer, then don't struggle."
The old man suddenly shouted, and then immediately launched an attack below.
The others did not hesitate and attacked one after another.
Huo Feng closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened them. Flames were burning in his eyes, and the flames on his body increased by thirty percent. He directly rushed towards Xuan Bing.
She knew that she was not a match for the four of them. If she wanted to break through, she had to make the four of them unable to cooperate. If she could kill one of them first, then there was still a glimmer of hope. Naturally, she targeted the weakest of the four, Xuan Bing.
The other party was suppressed by her, and he was weak. He also relied on his excellent escape route to provoke her. If not him, who would she look for?
Xuan Bing purposely fell behind from the beginning. She thought it through well. This way, the other three would be the first to fight, and she would be one step behind. She could still dodge the first explosion. But when she saw Huo Feng flying towards her, she secretly complained. However, there was no way to directly fight with the other party, and she could only fight to the death.
In just two or three breaths, the two met. Under the collision of ice and fire, the explosion was even more intense.
"We will help you. Hold him back!"
The other three did not hesitate and quickly came to support her.
Although Xuan Bing was slightly weaker, after fighting with the other party for so long, she knew the other party's attacking style. It was not a problem for her to hold on for a while. This made Huo Feng's wish to take her down in one go fail. However, as the others joined in, she quickly fell into a difficult battle.
But now, she had made up her mind. She would not let go of the other party. Xuan Bing was complaining. She could only hold on and hope that when the other party's attention was on her, her companions would take care of her first.
After half a day, Huo Feng stood in the air. His body was covered in blood, and he almost lost the ability to fight. This was because the other party wanted to capture her alive. Otherwise, he would have died long ago. But she was laughing wantonly. In her hand, there was a sparkling and translucent ice crystal that emitted cold air.
That was Xuan Bing's real core, and also her essence. Now that it was in her hand, Xuan Bing's fate was self-evident.
Although Xuan Bing was dead, they were not sad at all. Instead, they were secretly happy. Because Huo Feng had been chasing Xuan Bing, they did not have any injuries. In addition, the other party's condition was good. This time, the mission was completed successfully, and they lost a breath.
"Come on, take me away."
After Huo Feng stopped laughing, he said to them. She could not even commit suicide. She did not have any strength in her body. But since she killed Xuan Bing, she could die without regrets.
Just as the three of them were about to take them away, the surrounding space suddenly froze. They could not move at all. Then, a terrifying figure appeared in front of them.
It was the old ancestor who had captured them. Huo Feng did not wait for the old ancestor to appear. He had already fallen down and was caught by the old ancestor.
The three of them were terrified. They did not know what this person wanted to do. But they did not have the time to think too much. They were all taken away by the old ancestor.
"The situation here is so bad. Forget it. Bring them all back." The old ancestor looked at the secret realm he had set up. It was starting to collapse. He did not have the heart to maintain it. Since it was not useful anymore, he might as well give it up. He waved his hand and everyone here had their cultivation sealed. They were all transferred to the Black Prison, which was the Asura Realm.
Xuan Bing would never have thought that the Great Ancestor would take all of them away and lock all the evil ones in here for the other clansmen to train. As for those who had self-control and didn't kill innocent people, the Great Ancestor unlocked their powers and threw them out.
According to the old ancestor's standards, she would be thrown out too. But before she died, she had to say that she was very unlucky.
The old ancestor had become a part of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Naturally, he could differentiate between good and evil. In the past, he could do whatever he wanted. But now, he was bound. He could not do as he wished.
Not only him, many people in the outside world were willing to trade with him.
The old man thought that he was going to die for sure, but he looked to the side and said, "This person is rotten from the inside out. It's a pity that she's just a bag of skin." Then, the young girl was tied up and thrown into the blood pool.
The old man and the man beside him were dazzled. They vaguely heard, "She can still be saved. She is not so evil." When they came back to their senses, they realized that they were in a dense forest.
"Are we out?" The man beside him looked around and felt a familiar aura. He could not believe it. He looked around and there was no danger. The seawater like spiritual energy was absorbed into his body. But he was still suspicious.
"Is this a scheme?"
"It's not a scheme. It's just that they don't need us. Maybe good people will be rewarded. Didn't you see that she didn't come out?" The old man took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice.
He remembered that he had once saved a little boy. The boy told him that although he was fierce, he was not evil. Although there were twists and turns, he would be safe in the end. Of course, he did not believe it. He had saved the boy just because it was convenient. What would an ordinary child know?
After leaving the boy, he was quickly captured. If he had not been forced to, he would not have been willing to hurt others. He thought that he was going to die in there. He did not expect that he would really come out. Could it be that there was a destiny in the world?
He did not know. He only knew that he had obtained his precious freedom. He did not stay in the same place for long and quickly left with the man. He also knew that sometimes, doing less bad things and more good things was really useful.
After the Old Ancestor quickly made his selection, not to mention those who could not believe that they had been reborn and had reappeared in the Great Desolate World, there were also others who had entered another Devil's Cave. The Old Ancestor looked at Huo Feng, who had already fainted. He stretched out his hand and pointed at her. A bit of blood-red mist appeared out of thin air and entered her body, starting to heal her.
The injuries on her body had been healed, but because she had overexerted herself, she would not be able to wake up in a short period of time. The old man could not be bothered to waste his energy to wake her up. The main reason was that she needed to heal too much. He could not afford to waste time. He reached out and grabbed her, leaving immediately.
"The person you want is here. She's quite lucky. If I went there later, she would have died." The old man did not know the situation inside. He only guessed that there must have been a battle when he saw her injuries. After so many people died, he naturally thought that it was a slaughter.
"Thank you, old man. If there's anything you need me to do, please let me know," Gu Zheng said respectfully to the old man.
"Do you have any thoughts? If you are like my Asura Clan, I can hand over the entire clan to you." The old man looked at Gu Zheng and chuckled.
"Ah! Old man, this … "Gu Zheng did not expect the old man to say this, and his expression immediately became awkward.
"I'm just joking. No matter what, you will always be my Asura Clan's friend, and my friend. I'll give this to you. Its power is enough to last for a few thousand years, but it has no other power. Consider it a self-defense item. If there are any Devil Gods outside, as long as the Blood Origin Bead is still with them, I will naturally come and clean them up." The old man tossed the Blood Origin Bead over and then disappeared. He did not even give Gu Zheng a chance to refuse.
Gu Zheng understood what the old man meant. This Blood Origin Bead only had the ability to break through illusions. Without the old man's power, it did not have any offensive power. The old man gave it to him not only for self-defense, but also to let him search for any Devil Gods hiding outside.
After all, since he had met the Devil Gods, if other Devil Gods discovered him, they might meet each other. His men were not outside, and it was useless to be outside. After so many years, they had not found a single one. Instead, one was killed by Gu Zheng, and the other was captured alive. This was more than what they had achieved in countless years. Naturally, he was very relieved.
If he could kill the other party, he would. If he could not, he would let him come. It was a protective talisman against the Devil Gods.
However, Gu Zheng felt that relying on the Blood Origin Bead's function was enough. If it was not for his help, he would not have been able to kill the Devil God's pet so easily. As for the Devil Gods, he felt that it was impossible for him to meet them again.
"Gu Zheng, you are really powerful. That is the old man of the Asura Clan, and he said that you are his friend. He is someone who is more powerful than our old man." Meng Zhen exclaimed.
She had seen the scale of the Asura Clan. Just by looking at them, she knew that they were much stronger than her side. To put it bluntly, the strength of the entire Asura Clan was comparable to that of the Hundred Clans.
She did not think that the Asura Clan was just some of the people she saw back then. On the way, she was curious and asked Gu Zheng to explain the Asura Clan to her. Only then did she understand how powerful they were, and that there were even more powerful forces all over the Eldritch World.
Their strength was at most an above average force.
Of course, she knew that there were countless treasures and all kinds of good things in the outside world. It was really tempting.
"Hehe, I am embarrassed by your praise. The other party is just repaying me for what I have done. Even you can win their friendship." Gu Zheng chuckled.
"Forget it. If I had not been taken seriously by the other party, I would have been sacrificed halfway." Meng Zhen knew her own limits. Even if she reached the peak of the Grand Heavenly Realm, she would not be able to do what Ye Xiwen did. "Senior Vermillion Bird is checking on your friend. You can go take a look."
Zhu Niao and Elder Xiong, who were at the side, felt that they weren't too shocked. It was as if everything that happened to Gu Zheng could be expected. They were already numb.
However, looking at the unconscious Huo Feng below, the Vermillion Bird felt a sense of intimacy from the bottom of its heart. It squatted down to check on him. After a quick check, it looked at Gu Zheng with a strange expression. Then, it continued to check on him. When Gu Zheng walked over, it stood up with that strange look in its eyes.
"Your friend's identity is really noble. She is actually a member of the Phoenix Clan with an incomparably pure bloodline. You should know that there are almost no Phoenixes outside now. However, you don't have to worry. There are no injuries in her body. She will be fine after a period of rest."
"Speaking of which, I still owe her my life. Previously, she was imprisoned by the Ancestor in the cave that was once opened. You should know about this. How could I save her? Just a while ago, I helped the Asura Clan with a big matter. Taking advantage of the Ancestor's appearance, I had the chance to beg him." Gu Zheng looked at the other party's eyes and said with a bitter smile.
He naturally knew that Huo Feng was fine. Even if something happened to him, as long as he was not dead, the Ancestor would save him. Therefore, he was not worried at all.
"I see. I don't blame you. I just feel that you are really nostalgic." The Vermillion Bird shook her head. She naturally knew everything that happened inside from Elder Xiong.
"The Li Bracelet in my hand was a gift from him. I'm not the type to bite the hand that feeds me. It's best that he's fine. I ask that Senior Vermillion Bird help me take care of him," Gu Zheng looked at Elder Xiong with concern. "How are you guys doing? Do you want to rest a bit? "
"We should leave this place first. Otherwise, someone might come to investigate after such a big commotion. Although we're not afraid, it's better to have less trouble," Elder Xiong said.
"I know of a place that's not far from here. It's not bad as a temporary resting place."
When Gu Zheng thought of Tang Li's place, he regretted blocking off all the exits. Still, there was still plenty of space above if they cleaned it up a bit. Most importantly, it was hidden enough.
The other three had no problems. Vermillion Bird picked up Huo Feng and followed behind Gu Zheng with the others. They flew off into the distance and away from the center of the mountain range.
The mountain range here had been reduced to ruins. It would take a long time for it to recover.
