"Bang!"
A loud noise came from Lu Qi's body. Before Gu Zheng and Meow Meow's attacks landed on the turtle shell, Lu Qi had caused this rare mid-level immortal item to explode.
A powerful shockwave was generated from the point of explosion. Not only did it destroy Gu Zheng and Meow Meow's attacks, but it also caused the originally unshakable space to tremble slightly. One could imagine how powerful this explosion was. If Meow Meow and Gu Zheng had both attacked at close range, they would definitely have been injured.
Moreover, before the turtle shell exploded, Lu Qi had been shot out by the turtle shell. Like a meteor, he had pulled away from Gu Zheng and Meow Meow in an instant.
"Pfft …"
After landing on the ground, Lu Qi spat out a mouthful of blood. He pointed his finger at Gu Zheng and Meow Meow. He was so angry that he couldn't even speak. He never thought that there would be a day when he would be pushed to this point.
"How do you feel? You wanted to tamper with our jade talismans just now. Did it not work? "
Since they had pulled away, Gu Zheng was not in a hurry. He looked at Lu Qi and smiled coldly.
"Who are you? You are not Gu Zheng, the sect leader of Emei Sect! "Lu Qi said hatefully.
"That's right. I am not Gu Zheng, the sect leader of Emei Sect. When it comes to backup, you have to call me grandpa!"
Gu Zheng smiled. Anyway, with his cultivation level at such a young age, Lu Qi must have thought that he was an old monster who had not come out of seclusion.
"It seems that you also know who I am?" Lu Qi gritted his teeth.
"Child, look at how silly your question is! Not only do I know that you are Lu Qi, the great elder of Sacred Blood Sect, but I also know that you have always wanted to get this from me. You have sent people to Emei Sect twice, and when I was on Blood Tide Island, you used your divine mind to spy on my residence. "Gu Zheng also took out the white jade ball.
"Good, good, good!" Lu Qi laughed. "The person I didn't take seriously the most turned out to be my strongest opponent. I thought you didn't know, but you know everything!"
"I know. What can you do to me?"
Gu Zheng smiled and rushed towards Lu Qi with Tang Mo in hand.
During the conversation, there was nothing unusual in the entire treasure trove. In that case, there was no need to say anything more to Lu Qi.
Looking at Gu Zheng and Meow Meow charging at him, Lu Qi smiled sinisterly. "You killed my cauldron, destroyed my immortal item, and now you're forcing my hand. Since my death is inevitable today, then even if I die, I'll drag someone down with me!"
Blood Qi rose from Lu Qi's body and formed a huge Demon Statue behind him. Lu Qi, who was in the state of Golem Protection, did not linger in the fight. He rushed back the way he came.
"Meow Meow, be careful! Lu Qi probably wants to lead us to the place where he encountered danger, "said Gu Zheng via voice transmission.
Meow Meow nodded at Gu Zheng, the look on its face growing more serious.
Lu Qi did indeed want to lead Gu Zheng and Meow Meow to a dangerous place. As he fled, he cursed inwardly. "Damn it, why did you chase me so desperately? Why didn't you react to such a big commotion just now?"
Even though the treasure trove was huge and the corridor was very long, Lu Qi was very fast. He once again entered the passage that led to the depths of the treasure trove. And as he went deeper, the thing that made him run for his life gradually appeared in his line of sight.
If it weren't for the fact that he had no other choice, Lu Qi really didn't want to see the things that made him flee. Every time he saw them, he couldn't help but have the urge to vomit.
There were a total of six things that Lu Qi didn't want to see. These six things were in the shape of humans, and Lu Qi was sure that they were the products of an unknown corpse refining technique. This was because, in addition to emitting a rotten smell unique to corpses, the surface of these six items was covered with a thick layer of paste, like half-melted meat jelly. It was extremely disgusting to look at. If it was just pure disgust, it wouldn't be a big deal, but these things' destructive power was shockingly high. Each one of them had the strength of a cultivator in the Soul Formation stage!
As Lu Qi approached, the six unmoving refined corpses all shuddered and woke up from what seemed to be a deep slumber.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Qi threw out three pieces of cloth that burned in the wind. These three pieces of cloth were obtained from the three corpses when he was fleeing. He also used the same evil technique that he used on Gu Zheng's jade talisman. However, the cloth pieces were in his hands, so after activating them, they were even more powerful!
The three pieces of cloth burned, causing the three corpses to tremble. They actually ignored Lu Qi's existence and rushed towards Gu Zheng and Meow Meow behind Lu Qi.
The evil technique that Lu Qi used was very rare. It was called "substitution." Not only did it allow the three corpses to temporarily ignore him, it also allowed them to take a large amount of damage in his place.
Three of the refined corpses that had been hit by the Plum Substitute charged towards Gu Zheng and Meow Meow, while the other three immediately attacked Lu Qi. Lu Qi didn't bother with the three corpses attacking him, nor did he choose to run. Instead, he turned around and attacked Gu Zheng and the others.
Lu Qi knew that once the corpses set their sights on someone, they wouldn't stop until they were dead! What's more, there was another drawback to the sorcery, which was that once the sorcery lost its effect, the target would hate the person who cast the sorcery even more.
Lu Qi didn't plan on living after luring Gu Zheng and the others to the corpses, so he had to take advantage of this opportunity to drag Gu Zheng and Meow Meow down with him.
As soon as he saw the corpses, the weapon spirit told Gu Zheng how powerful they were! Gu Zheng had thought that there would be something like an immortal formation here, but he hadn't expected that there would be corpses that could fight like cultivators.
The entire passage was filled with violent energy. After all, Gu Zheng, Meow Meow, and Lu Qi weren't the only ones who could control the energy of heaven and earth. Even the corpses could do it.
In a place where the energy of heaven and earth was so violent, if one's cultivation was only at the late fifth stage, they would instantly explode and die. Even a cultivator at the early stage of qi transformation wouldn't be able to last more than a minute, and that was only under the condition that they weren't attacked.
Whether it was humans or corpses, they were all using their various abilities to fight. The scene was chaotic and dangerous.
"Retreat!"
Gu Zheng transmitted to Meow Meow. In such a chaotic situation, they would definitely be at a disadvantage if they continued to fight. After all, their opponents were corpses that couldn't hurt them. They could ignore them, but Gu Zheng and Meow Meow couldn't.
Fortunately, the corpses weren't fast enough. Gu Zheng and Meow Meow, who were bent on retreating, broke through the blockade of the corpses and Lu Qi's immortal arts, gradually leaving the passage and returning to the spacious corridor.
"Go back!"
Gu Zheng, who was running, slashed seven times in a row, the sharp blade aura blocking all of Lu Qi's paths.
The golem behind Lu Qi punched a few of the blade auras, but he had no choice but to dodge. As soon as he retreated, the three corpses that had been targeting him immediately attacked him.
One of the corpses pushed out a palm wind, one wielded a large axe and chopped out a wave of evil Qi, and the last one spat out green corpse fire.
Lu Qi dodged the palm wind and the wave of air, but he couldn't avoid the corpse fire. As soon as the green corpse fire touched his body, it immediately started a prairie fire.
There was a scream, but it didn't come from Lu Qi's mouth. It came from one of the corpses that was chasing Gu Zheng and Meow Meow. The corpsefire that had already enveloped Lu Qi's body was instantly transferred to the corpse that had let out a blood-curdling scream.
The corpse took the damage for Lu Qi. After the effects of the Corpse Substitution spell wore off, it immediately gave up chasing Gu Zheng and Meow Meow and turned to attack Lu Qi.
With three corpses behind him and one in front of him, Lu Qi, who was already injured, couldn't hold on any longer. Of the two corpses that had been chasing Meow Meow and Gu Zheng, one of them was immediately affected by the Corpse Substitution spell. After taking a big hit for Lu Qi, it turned around and attacked.
"Stop it!"
Seeing that the last corpse wanted to kill Lu Qi because of the Corpse Substitution spell, Gu Zheng immediately sent a telepathic message to Meow Meow.
Even without the last corpse, Lu Qi would be dead without a doubt under the siege of five corpses. Therefore, Gu Zheng didn't need to send the last corpse over. They'd have to be dealt with sooner or later anyway.
"Cut!"
Tang Mo's Saber Qi slashed at the refined corpse. However, the paste on the refined corpse had an extremely powerful defense. The slash only managed to cut off a portion of the paste. It was impossible to injure the refined corpse's body.
"One slash won't do? Two slashes then! "
Gu Zheng shouted angrily. At the same time, he sent a telepathic message to Meow Meow. The two of them attacked the corpse's neck together.
Blades flashed and claws danced. Although the corpse was strong, it was still a little weak against Gu Zheng and Meow Meow.
It didn't take long for the corpse's head to be cut off. Without its head, the corpse immediately fell to the ground.
After Gu Zheng and Meow Meow finished off one of the corpses, the other five corpses also finished off Lu Qi.
Lu Qi died a horrible death. His body was chopped into several pieces by the axe wielding the refined corpse, and it was still rapidly dissolving. After killing Lu Qi, the five corpses immediately rushed towards Gu Zheng and Meow Meow.
"Let's go!"
Gu Zheng sent a telepathic message to Meow Meow. The two of them immediately ran away.
"Sir, why are we running away? With our strength, taking care of five corpses shouldn't be a problem! "Meow Meow was puzzled.
"The five corpses are very strong. Although the two of us can take care of them, we're bound to be injured. This is only the first floor of the treasure trove, and there are already such strong things. If we go deeper, who knows what awaits us? So, if we can take care of them safely, it's better to do so. There's no need to fight them head-on. We'll use our wits! "
While chasing Lu Qi, Gu Zheng had already discovered that the corpses had awakened from a state of deep sleep. This difference, coupled with Lu Qi's previous escape, made Gu Zheng certain that as long as they ran out of a certain range, the corpses would lose their target and fall asleep again. When the corpses fell asleep again, he and Meow Meow would go over and focus their firepower on one of them. Although it would be a little slow, it was safer.
Sure enough, after Gu Zheng and Meow Meow had run for a while, they could no longer hear the sound of the pursuit behind them.
After resting for a while, Gu Zheng, who had been frowning, slowly said, "I'm more and more curious about this Patriarch Tian Luo. He can make such powerful corpses, and there's no information about him in the legends. He's really a strange man!"
"You're not the only one who's curious about him. I'm also curious about him. Based on what I've seen in the Tian Luo Cave, if this Patriarch Tian Luo wanted to fight for supremacy, he would definitely be a very powerful figure in his time. He could even unify the Diabolism! But in the legends about him, his performance is not proportional to his real strength at all, "said the Vessel Spirit.
"Elder Gao said before that the Patriarch Tian Luo didn't care about his private life and reproduction, nor did he care about the sect! Now it seems that he didn't care about fighting for supremacy either. He's a person who appeared like a meteor. It seems that he wants to reach the realm of Jin Xian as soon as possible and then ascend to the Untainted Land. "
As Gu Zheng spoke, his expression suddenly became strange: "Artifact Spirit, those refined corpses are all female corpses! Do you think they're the wives and concubines of the Patriarch Tian Luo? "
Gu Zheng was shocked when he thought of this. After all, he was not a heartless person. It was hard for him to imagine that someone would refine his wives and concubines into such corpses.
However, Gu Zheng also learned from Sect Leader Mu that after the Patriarch Tian Luo ascended to the Untainted Land, his wives and concubines who were in charge of the sect disappeared. Sect Leader Mu said that the Patriarch Tian Luo ascended to the Untainted Land with his wives and concubines. However, the Vessel Spirit, who knew the rules of the Untainted Land better, said that it was impossible for an ascender to bring so many people into the Untainted Land!
Gu Zheng thought that the wives and concubines of the Patriarch Tian Luo might have all disappeared after the Patriarch Tian Luo ascended to the Untainted Land. But just now, he suddenly thought that the corpses were the wives and concubines of the Patriarch Tian Luo.
"It's unlikely! These corpses were cultivators when they were alive. According to the information provided by Mu Chunfeng and the others, most of the women of the Patriarch Tian Luo were ordinary people. There were no cultivators among them, "the Vessel Spirit said.
"The people of the Tian Luo Sect were just ordinary cultivators. But if the cultivators deliberately hid it, it's not strange that they couldn't tell!"
Gu Zheng paused and then shook his head. "Let's not think too much. Anyway, if we continue to explore, maybe we'll find something! I feel that those corpses have fallen into a deep sleep. Meow Meow and I should continue. "
Gu Zheng gave Meow Meow a look, and the two immediately began to move.
Just like when they first saw them, the five corpses stood motionless. When they sensed someone approaching, they immediately woke up from their deep sleep. But before they woke up, Gu Zheng and Meow Meow had already attacked one of them.
Although Gu Zheng had quite a few immortal tools, he had only used Tang Mo against the refined corpse. With Gu Zheng's current cultivation, unless the immortal tool itself was at the middle rank or above, the power of its divine ability would be of some use. The power of a low rank immortal tool's divine ability was often inferior to the power of a saber strike that he could use with the energy of heaven and earth.
What's more, Gu Zheng's full-strength saber might not be able to do much damage to the corpses he was facing. Even if a low-grade immortal weapon's power was used on the corpses, the damage it could do was far from enough.
The corpses were powerful, but they weren't ordinary people. They didn't have the intelligence and strategy of a normal person. Under the joint efforts of Gu Zheng and Meow Meow, the first corpse was quickly taken down. By the time the first corpse was taken down, the other four hadn't yet launched their first wave of attacks. By the time the first wave of attacks came, Gu Zheng had already left with Meow Meow.
Although Gu Zheng's method of killing the corpses was very wretched, it was very useful and very safe.
After a few rounds of wretched attacks, the corpses were all taken care of, and Gu Zheng and Meow Meow were unharmed.
Gu Zheng, who was cleaning up the battlefield, sighed. "What a pity."
The only thing the corpses left behind was an axe. It was originally a mid-grade immortal weapon, but when its owner was being refined, it was also refined. Although it was still a mid-grade immortal weapon, it wasn't something a living person could use.
"The corpses didn't leave anything good behind, but Lu Qi should have a lot of good stuff."
Lu Qi's body had turned into a pool of blood, but his clothes and other things were still there. Meow Meow took his storage belt back.
"Meow Meow, this storage belt is for you. Recognize it as your owner and see what's inside."
Gu Zheng already had the Void Dimension and the Mustard Seed Pocket. Although the storage belt's space was many times larger than the Mustard Seed Pocket, to Gu Zheng, it wasn't much different from the Mustard Seed Pocket. It was just a low-grade immortal weapon. Moreover, Lu Qi's storage belt was too feminine and didn't suit Gu Zheng's style.
"Thank you, Mister."
Meow Meow happily recognized the storage belt. The pink belt, which was originally in her hand, immediately tightened around her small waist. It looked very compatible with her style of dress.
Meow Meow took out a large pile of things from the storage belt, most of which were cultivation resources.
"As expected of the leader of the Sacred Blood Society. These things in the storage belt are really good." Gu Zheng looked at the resources all over the ground, a smile on his face.
Among Lu Qi's resources, there were a lot of elixirs. Most of them were useless to Gu Zheng, but some of them could be used to refine elixirs for cultivation.
As for the immortal weapon, there was a jade bottle, which was the one Lu Qi used to collect the Devil Blood in the Celestial Snail Cave. Although the jade bottle was only a primary immortal tool and had no special use other than being able to store some things, Gu Zheng still happily accepted it. After all, he didn't have an immortal tool that could be used to store some special things.
As for the rest of the resources, there were high and low grades of ingredients that could be used to make food. In addition to 200 ordinary grade ingredients, there were six medium grade ingredients and one good grade ingredient, Immortal Dew and Nether Cloud.
Looking at the smile on Gu Zheng's face, Meow Meow smiled happily. "Sir, what are we going to do next?"
"Sir, I'm going to be a food cultivator." Gu Zheng's smile grew wider.
"A food cultivator? What food cultivator? You're going to use these things you just got? "Meow Meow's beautiful eyes widened.
Meow Meow knew a few types of food cultivators Gu Zheng knew, but she couldn't think of any that were suitable for this kind of environment.
"You haven't seen me make food cultivators yet. Although the main ingredients were contributed by Lu Qi, they aren't what you see in front of you. The name of this food cultivator is Iron Shell Food Cultivator."
As he spoke, Gu Zheng began to collect the shattered tortoiseshell.
