The reason the Heavenly Conch Sect had the word 'conch' in its name was because the founder of the Heavenly Conch Sect had relied on a top-grade Immortal Artifact, the Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch, to make a name for himself in the flourishing era where there were many experts.
However, during the Flourishing Era, the owner of the 'Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch' founded the Heavenly Conch Sect. The current Heavenly Conch Sect was only a branch of the Heavenly Conch Sect.
Back then, the owner of the 'Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch' only flourished for a little over a hundred years. Afterwards, both he and the 'Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch' disappeared, and the Heavenly Conch Sect quickly declined. It was almost wiped out by its enemies, and in the end, it was stranded overseas.
The long river of history had always been ruthless. The Heavenly Conch Sect rose too quickly, and disappeared too quickly. There were countless sects like it in history, and this was why Gu Zheng had never heard of the Heavenly Conch Sect.
Although the 'Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch' of the Heavenly Conch Sect had disappeared, they still had immortal artifacts that imitated the 'Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch'! Although the power of imitations couldn't compare to top-grade immortal artifacts, they were still extremely powerful among immortal artifacts of the same grade.
As a top-grade immortal artifact, the 'Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch' had a total of nine divine abilities. The number of colors an imitated 'Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch' had represented the number of divine abilities it had.
The imitated 'Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch' in Shangguan Feng's hand was pure black, which meant it only had one divine ability. Black represented destruction among the divine abilities of the 'Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch'. This was the key reason why the demonic cultivators were so wary of it.
Among the imitations of the 'Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch', black was one of the more common ones. It was also very powerful, but the price to use it wasn't small either.
The black Nine-Colored Illusionary Sonic Conch had to be blown to activate its divine ability. However, if the black Nine-Colored Illusionary Sonic Conch was blown, the indiscriminate sound wave attack within a large area could cause the brains of all cultivators below the level of Immortal Cultivators to explode and die. And this was only for low-level immortal artifact imitations! If it was a mid-grade immortal artifact imitation, no one below the Spirit Severing Stage would be spared! Also, once the imitation of the Nine-Colored Illusionary Sonic Conch was blown, it would definitely explode. Anyone who blew the imitation, even if they were an Immortal Cultivator, would be killed by the backlash!
The black conch in Shangguan Feng's hand was so special that the chaotic scene became special because of it.
Although Shangguan Feng really didn't want to blow the conch, if the people from the Devil's Path continued to force them, causing their numbers to dwindle, she might have to fight to the death with the people from the Devil's Path.
The devil path cultivators knew that Shangguan Feng did not dare to blow the conch, but they did not dare to push her too hard. After all, even a rabbit would bite when cornered, not to mention a cultivator with a temper.
Due to the special circumstances, the bickering between them was more or less just to save face.
"I'll say it one last time. Get the hell out of here right now. If you don't, then you won't be able to get the hell out of here!"
Shangguan Feng seemed to have lost her patience. She put the conch closer to her mouth.
"You …"
The bearded man wanted to say something but was stopped by the black-clothed old man.
"Fine, you win. Our green hills don't change, and the rivers flow forever!"
The black-clothed old man looked at Shangguan Feng and smiled very easily. Then, he waved his hand and the group began to retreat carefully.
"Don't do it again. If there is a next time, I promise I won't tolerate it anymore!"
Shangguan Feng's warning was only met with the laughter of the people from the Devil's Path.
"I'm really not joking." Shangguan Feng shook her head and muttered to herself.
In the short confrontation, more than a dozen people from the Heavenly Spiral Sect and Heavenly Will Sect died. Of the fourteen people from the Devil's Path, only six were left. Shangguan Feng did not expect to encounter such trouble on this trip. Now, there were only a few people from the Heavenly Spiral Sect left. If anything happened to these people, she felt that she would be too ashamed to face others! Since that was the case, she might as well die with a bang.
"Senior Brother, are you okay?"
Shangguan Feng came up to Luo Jin and asked weakly.
Luo Jin had already taken a healing elixir. Although he did not feel much pain in his hands, his bones were still crushed. It was not easy to recover, at least not in a short period of time.
"I hate it, I hate it so much!"
Compared to Shangguan Feng's weakness, Luo Jin was full of fighting spirit.
"Martial Uncle!"
Tong Rui's voice, as if she had survived a disaster, sounded when most people were listless.
"The two of you are actually fine. That's great!"
The return of Tong Rui and Luo Jin dissipated the depression of the people from the Heavenly Will Sect.
"Where did the two of you go? Why did you come back so late? "
Zhang Dongliang's happiness only lasted for a moment. The heavy casualties of the disciples made him want to vent his anger on Tong Rui and Luo Jin.
"We, we don't know what happened!"
Looking at Zhang Dongliang's stern face, Junior Sister Li was in a hurry to cry.
"What about Fellow Daoist Gu? Did you see Fellow Daoist Gu? "Yang Zhenling asked.
"It was Fellow Daoist Gu who brought us back. We were …" Recalling the situation when they went missing, Tong Rui's face turned red. "When we woke up, Fellow Daoist Gu was beside us. He just told us that he did not have time to explain. Then, he brought us here in a hurry. Before we got close, we heard the sounds of fighting. When we got closer, Fellow Daoist Gu suddenly told us to stop. He told us to come back after the battle ended. He wanted to leave first. "
"Come back after the battle ended? Why did that happen? "Zhang Dongliang frowned.
"When you stopped, could you see the situation here?" Yang Zhenling asked.
"I couldn't see, but I could hear the sound. I knew that Senior Shangguan took out a replica of the 'Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch'," Tong Rui said.
Yang Zhenling nodded. "Fellow Daoist Gu probably knew that the battle would not continue. That's why he asked you to come back after it ended. However, he left first. Where did he go? "
"I, I …"
Junior Martial Sister Li suddenly opened her mouth. However, she stuttered as if she wanted to say something but did not dare to.
"Don't 'you, you, you.' If you have something to say, just say it!" Zhang Dongliang said fiercely.
Junior Martial Sister Li mustered up her courage and said, "When Fellow Daoist Gu left, I saw a cold smile on his face. That … that smile was as if he was going to kill someone!"
"Kill someone?"
Zhang Dongliang and Yang Zhenling both cried out in alarm. If he was going to kill someone at this time, then who was he going to kill? The answer was not hard to imagine. However, it was precisely because of this answer that they were extremely shocked! Gu Zheng was going to kill someone in a situation where so many people were powerless! No matter how he was going to kill them, his courage was enough to shake the hearts of others.
"Martial Uncle, what do we do now?" Yang Zhenling asked anxiously.
"What do we do? Wait! "Zhang Dongliang said.
"Wait? We abandoned him once before and allowed him to chase after those two white-robed old men. If we abandon him again this time, it's really too unreasonable! "Yang Zhenling's eyes widened.
Zhang Dongliang shook his head and said, "Martial Nephew, the situation this time is different from last time. Last time, it could be considered as sudden. After all, the two white-robed old men appeared and immediately fled into the distance. This time, Fellow Daoist Gu had enough time to tell Tong Rui and the others what we should do! However, the truth is that he did not do that at all. Why is that? Other than not wanting us to follow him, I can't think of any other reason. "
"But Martial Uncle, isn't it too dangerous to let him go alone?" Yang Zhenling said unwillingly.
"To put it bluntly, we're still just guessing. Although it looks like he's going to kill someone, is he really going to kill those people? If he's not going to kill those people and we rush over recklessly, we'll be caught off guard by those people instead. Have you thought about what we should do at that time? " Zhang Dongliang's voice paused. Looking at Yang Zhenling who did not say anything, he opened his mouth again and said, "All we can do now is wait. Our fellow disciples have suffered heavy casualties and there are many things that we need to deal with."
"Martial Uncle, when Fellow Daoist Gu comes back, do you think I should ask him what he's going to do? I feel that he'll definitely come back, and if I don't ask, he definitely won't say. However, I'm really very curious about what he's going to do! "Yang Zhenling said in distress.
"I advise you not to ask. Since Fellow Daoist Gu won't say, it means that he doesn't want others to know. Overly probing into other people's secrets is not a good habit. Moreover, now it seems that Fellow Daoist Gu really is that kind of unfathomable person. Perhaps he's even an astonishingly old monster! For such an existence, you shouldn't accidentally anger him just because he's easy to talk to, "Zhang Dongliang said after thinking for a while.
Yang Zhenling did not say anything, but his eyes were still filled with curiosity. He also thought that Gu Zheng might be a 'senior expert', but seeing that he was about the same age as him, it was really difficult to treat him as a 'senior expert'.
Yang Zhenling and the others were curious about what Gu Zheng had gone to do. And Gu Zheng, who had disappeared, was naturally chasing after those people from the Demon Dao.
Even though they would reach the Kunlun Sect tomorrow night, there were still hidden dangers. Gu Zheng felt extremely uncomfortable just thinking about it. He avoided the people from the Heaven's Will Faction and the Heavenly Spiral Faction because he didn't want to be seen by them during the battle.
After the confrontation with Shangguan Feng ended, the people from the Demon Dao ran all the way. At that time, Gu Zheng also bypassed the camps of Heaven Heart Sect and Heavenly Spiral Sect and chased after the people from the Demon Dao.
Being able to fly on his sword, Gu Zheng caught up with those people from the Demon Dao in no time at all. But what Gu Zheng did not expect was that the original six people from the Demon Dao, including the black-robed old man and the bearded man, had inexplicably disappeared.
Looking at the four people from the Demon Dao who did not find him on the ground, Gu Zheng was really a little puzzled! For the time being, he did not disturb the four people. Gu Zheng stepped on his flying sword and searched the nearby area. Unfortunately, he still could not find the missing two people.
"Now I can't trouble the Weapon Spirit to use his Divine Sense to search. Where did the two people go? Is there some kind of secret passage nearby and they are hiding in it? Forget about them, I'll deal with the other four people first. Maybe I can get information about the other two people from them! "
With an idea in mind, Gu Zheng immediately caught up with the four people from the Demon Dao on his sword.
"Cultivator!"
The reaction of the four people from the Demon Dao was exactly the same as the three people that Gu Zheng had killed before. When they saw Gu Zheng coming over on his sword, their first reaction was to flee in all directions.
Gu Zheng did not care about the four people from the Fifth Stage of the Demon Dao. He activated the second level of the Thunder Tooth Sword, and twenty-four sword-shaped phantoms surrounded by electric light fell from the sky, forming a cage that trapped the four people from the Demon Dao who had not run far.
"Attack the same point together!"
The four people from the Demon Dao were shocked. One of them took the lead, and the other three immediately followed suit. For a moment, their inner strength violently collided with the sword-shaped phantoms.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …"
The inner strength crazily collided with the sword-shaped phantoms, but the phantoms did not move. This powerful magic had once trapped an existence like Ancestor Xue Guang. It was simply wishful thinking for four people from the Fifth Stage of the Demon Dao to want to destroy it.
"Your Excellency, please spare our lives!"
"Your Excellency is not from the Heaven Will Faction or the Heavenly Spiral Faction. There is not much hatred between us!"
"Your Excellency, please give us a way out!"
Looking at Gu Zheng who descended from the sky, the people from the Demon Dao who were trapped in the cage spoke one after another.
"Which sect are you from?" Gu Zheng looked at the four trapped beasts in the cage and asked coldly.
"If we tell Sir about the sect we belong to, will Sir let us live?" One of the people in the cage was the first to speak.
"It is not impossible to give you a way out, but you have to answer my questions honestly," Gu Zheng said slowly.
"What does Your Excellency want to know?" Another person asked.
"I need to know your sect, your purpose, and where the other two people went." Gu Zheng paused and then said, "If you can answer these questions honestly and promise not to harass the Heaven Will Faction or the Heavenly Spiral Faction on their way to the Kunlun Sect, I can give you a way out."
Gu Zheng said it very seriously, but in fact, it was a lie. Since they had been exposed in front of these people, they could not be allowed to live no matter what.
"Okay, I will answer your questions."
Among the four people, a man with a wretched appearance and a face full of sweat squeezed out a smile at Gu Zheng.
"Wu Laosan, how dare you!"
A red-clothed old man among the four shouted. Old Wu's gaze was somewhat evasive under the old man's gaze.
"Do you really believe what he said? Do you really think he will let us live? Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it! Besides, if you tell him the questions he asked, do you think you can still live in front of the Sect Leader? "
The red-robed old man shouted at the others. He was the only one who did not beg for mercy when he first saw Gu Zheng.
"You are courting death!"
Gu Zheng pointed with his sword and the electric light that was entwined around the sword-shaped shadow immediately condensed and rushed towards the red-robed old man like a living thing.
The red-robed old man wanted to dodge, but the surrounding air suddenly tightened, oppressing him and making him unable to move. He could only watch as the electric light hit his body.
"Ah …"
The red-robed old man's scream changed tone. His body was completely covered by the electric light. Thick black smoke immediately emerged from his body and the smell of burning intensified. His whole body was on fire!
