The appearance of the golden light made Meow Meow look disappointed. "Well, it seems I was wrong!"
"Haha, hahahaha!"
The weapon spirit laughed, its voice rising and falling in a slightly mischievous manner.
There was a golden chest in the room, but there was an immortal formation inside. This meant that this was a room where both danger and reward coexisted. Such a room didn't exist on the map, which directly overturned Meow Meow's previous guess.
"It's fine, it's fine if you guessed wrong. It's not a big deal."
Gu Zheng pinched Meow Meow's cheeks to comfort it, then began to break the formation.
This was also a first-level immortal formation. When Gu Zheng and Meow Meow entered, they were greeted by three refined corpses, the kind that attacked as soon as they appeared.
Although it was unavoidable that they would be attacked as soon as they appeared, Gu Zheng and Meow Meow had enough experience. They used their methods one after another, and it didn't take long for them to finish off all three refined corpses.
When the refined corpses fell, the immortal formation disappeared without a trace, and the golden chest once again appeared in front of Gu Zheng and Meow Meow.
It was still a medium-sized chest, and the resources inside were about the same as the previous one. It was a good haul.
Gu Zheng left the room with Meow Meow, and the two continued to walk along the corridor. However, before long, Gu Zheng's footsteps came to a halt.
"Hmph, I'll meet what I'm supposed to meet in the end!"
Gu Zheng laughed, his mood rising. He'd heard the sounds of fighting in the distance. In his opinion, the person fighting in the distance should be that despicable Cao Yi!
"Despicable Cao Yi, I'm finally going to meet you!"
Meow Meow gnashed its teeth, looking like it was going to vent its displeasure on Cao Yi as well.
"Although she's despicable, she's also very cute. After all, she's opened so many rooms. She herself is a moving treasure trove!"
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said, "However, that fellow ahead might not necessarily be Cao Yi!"
Although Gu Zheng only knew that Cao Yi was in the treasure trove at first, Gu Zheng had a definite guess after entering the second level of the treasure trove.
It was impossible for a single person to deal with the immortal formation that led to the second level of the treasure vault, unless her cultivation had already reached the level of Jin Xian! It was impossible for Jin Xian to exist on Earth today. Even if someone could return to Earth from the Untainted Land, it was impossible for Jin Xian to come back now.
Since her cultivation had not reached Jin Xian's level, breaking the array required the cooperation of many people. Therefore, Gu Zheng felt that the person in front of him might not be Cao Yi.
Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Meow Meow nodded and said, "No matter who he is, we'll definitely gain something from killing him."
"That's true. Let's go!"
Gu Zheng smiled coldly. The two of them immediately used the lightest movement technique and ran in the direction of the sound.
Gu Zheng's guess was not wrong. The person who was fighting with the refined corpse was not Cao Yi, but the fat man who was following him.
Although the fat man was also a cultivator, his cultivation was still too low compared to Gu Zheng and the others. This also caused him to have a hard time dealing with a refined corpse! If it wasn't for the fact that the refined corpse didn't have any intelligence, he wouldn't be a match for it.
Gu Zheng, who had already discovered the fat man, stopped. However, due to the fat man's cultivation, he didn't discover his and Meow Meow's existence.
Devil cultivators usually had a way to quickly kill themselves. Gu Zheng wanted to get something useful from the fat man, so he naturally couldn't give him the chance to kill himself! However, as a cultivator, it was almost impossible for the fat man to take him down in one move from such a distance.
Although the fat man might not immediately kill himself if he rushed over like this, Gu Zheng couldn't afford to gamble. After all, Gu Zheng had a lot of things he wanted to know about the Devil Sect.
"Meow Meow, it's up to you."
Gu Zheng transmitted his voice to Meow Meow. After Meow Meow nodded, he transformed into his original form and rushed toward the fat man.
Although the fat man was in the middle of a fierce battle with the refined corpse, he was very vigilant. When Meow Meow came within a certain range, he discovered Meow Meow's existence.
Meow Meow walked close to the wall, putting on a posture of not being here. Although the fat man was vigilant, he couldn't be sure. Although he was a cultivator, he didn't see that the white cat by the wall was a demon cultivator.
At a suitable distance, Meow Meow suddenly attacked. The surging energy of heaven and earth instantly surrounded the fat man, trying to bind him.
The fat man was shocked. His originally fat body suddenly swelled, and he looked like he was going to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth.
Gu Zheng frowned. He was already on the way, afraid that the fat man would self-destruct. He had no choice but to use the characteristics of the chaotic space. After disappearing on the spot, he appeared thirty meters away. His immortal power turned into a fist and directly punched the fat man's head.
"Ugh …"
The fat man groaned and fell to the ground with a plop.
"Phew!"
Gu Zheng let out a long breath. Ignoring the refined corpse that Meow Meow was holding back, he hurriedly set up one restriction after another on the fat man's body.
Meow Meow quickly finished off the refined corpse, and Gu Zheng had already crippled the fat man's cultivation. He began to use the "Introduction" on him.
Through the "Introduction", Gu Zheng learned everything he wanted to know from the fat man. Among these questions, the thing Gu Zheng wanted to know the most was everything about the Heavenly Conch Cave.
From Gongsun Changsheng's memories, Gu Zheng learned some things. Whether it was Gongsun Changsheng or Lu Qi, they were somewhat surprised by the Demon Sect's desire for the treasures of the Heavenly Conch Cave.
According to Gongsun Changsheng's guess, the Demon Sect's desire for the treasures of the Heavenly Conch Cave was very likely before he and Lu Qi! As for what was in the treasure, even the Demon Sect had long known about it!
Gongsun Changsheng's guess was based on Cao Yi's ample preparation and the fact that she had a second Heavenly Conch Starfish, which had never appeared in the world, and other suspicious points. Gongsun Changsheng even felt that the Demon Sect's people were very likely to know the secret of the Blood Tide Forbidden Area!
Gu Zheng had already tortured the fat man's will, and the rest was left to the Weapon Spirit.
It took the weapon spirit more than an hour to get the fat man to say what Gu Zheng wanted to hear. After all, this person was a member of the Demon Sect, and there were many things that Gu Zheng wanted to know. Therefore, it took him a lot of time.
Through the fat man's confession, Gu Zheng learned a lot of things, but most of these things were related to the Demon Sect, and very little about the Heavenly Conch Cave.
Gu Zheng already knew the true identity of "Cao Yi", and the reason why the fat man and "Cao Yi" came to the treasure of the Heavenly Conch Cave was to obtain an item from the treasure. As for what this item was, the fat man only knew that it was at the bottom of the treasure, which was the core of the second level.
The Demon Sect had indeed been planning for the treasure of the Heavenly Conch Cave for many years, but the Demon Sect's understanding of the treasure of the Heavenly Conch Cave had suddenly increased recently! As for why it was like this, according to the fat man, there was an additional powerful existence in the Demon Sect. Whether it was the destruction of the Ancestral Dragon Formation or some other things about the Heavenly Conch Cave, it was this powerful existence who told the Wei siblings. Moreover, the fat man guessed that the item they came to the Heavenly Conch Cave to obtain must be related to the Blood Tide Forbidden Area!
The fat man didn't know where "Cao Yi" was now. The reason why he was separated from "Cao Yi" was because she had ordered him to capture a few refined corpses, and the refined corpses he captured were related to cracking the core Immortal Formation of the second level of the treasure.
"What are you going to do next?" asked the Weapon Spirit.
"This level is the bottom of the treasure. Since" Cao Yi "can't crack the Immortal Formation alone and has a mission, it's only a matter of time before I meet her. Therefore, we still have to do what we need to do next! "Gu Zheng said.
"Mister, what about them?"
Meow Meow pointed at the fat man who had fainted and the two refined corpses he had subdued.
"We can't kill this guy yet. Once we kill him," Cao Yi "will know that something happened to him. Since that's the case, let's seal him in a room first. He's a cripple anyway. If we don't break the seal, he'll definitely die within three days. As for these refined corpses, they'll be a disaster if we leave them behind. Let's get rid of them! "
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, Meow Meow began to clean up the refined corpses on the ground, while he confiscated the fat man's storage belt.
The fat man wasn't dead, so Gu Zheng couldn't make the storage belt recognize him as its owner. Naturally, he couldn't check the things inside.
However, Gu Zheng already knew what was in the storage belt from the fat man's confession.
There were a total of four gold chests in the fat man's storage belt. Three of them were gold, silver, and jewels, and the last one was resources. The reason for this was that the resource chests were all with "Cao Yi." The fat man's chest had only been obtained after he had separated from "Cao Yi."
Apart from the gold chests and some of the fat man's own resources, the only thing that interested Gu Zheng in the storage belt was a bottle of pills. These pills were refined to counter the evil aura. It was also the reason why people of the Demon Sect dared to act freely in the Tian Luo Grotto's treasure.
After sealing the fat man in the immortal formation space in a room, Gu Zheng continued on his way with Meow Meow.
Through the fat man's confession, Gu Zheng knew that there were no more rooms that had yet to be opened, nor were there any dangers. Therefore, he and Meow Meow were able to move forward at a very fast pace.
"Eh?"
Just as Gu Zheng and Meow Meow were speeding along, the weapon spirit suddenly made a curious sound.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng stopped and asked.
"Let's go back and enter the room that we just passed. I seem to have found something different!"
The room that the weapon spirit was talking about was the one in the corridor that faced the passage. Gu Zheng had just passed by there.
The door was already open. After Gu Zheng entered, he did not find anything.
"Tsk tsk, this is unprecedented. There might be something extraordinary here!" the weapon spirit said.
"Don't keep me in suspense. What kind of unprecedented situation is this?" Gu Zheng asked curiously.
"There is a hidden first level immortal formation in this room. I have never seen this in any of the rooms that you have passed by!"
"A deliberately hidden immortal formation. What could be here?"
Gu Zheng muttered to himself, then said excitedly, "Hurry up and tell me how to break the formation. I can't wait!"
"Don't just be happy. No matter what is in the room, you should still be careful!"
The weapon spirit reminded him and then told Gu Zheng the way to break the formation. She was also looking forward to this hidden immortal formation. After all, she had never encountered such a situation in the treasure trove.
Following the method that the weapon spirit told him, Gu Zheng injected his immortal power into a wall and then used his heart to feel the entrance of the immortal formation.
The entrance was found. As soon as Gu Zheng's immortal power entered, a dazzling light formation appeared on the wall.
The light formation's light grew brighter and brighter. The space shook and the world in front of them immediately changed.
"Whoosh …"
Meow Meow, who had been vigilant all this time, was the first to attack.
"Ah!"
The suspicious thing suddenly screamed.
"Meow Meow, stop!"
In fact, even without Gu Zheng's reminder, Meow Meow had already sensed that something was amiss and had held back some of its strength. Otherwise, this suspicious thing definitely wouldn't have just let out a scream. It was very likely that she would have died under Meow Meow's claws.
The scene in the immortal formation space was still the same as the room, but there were several chains in the room. They were connected to a woman's body and hung in the air.
The woman was very beautiful, but the clothes in front of her chest had been torn by Meow Meow and blood was flowing out of her snow-white skin.
"The Immortal Devouring Needle!"
Looking inside herself, the artifact spirit frowned.
"What's the Immortal Devouring Needle?" Gu Zheng asked.
"The Immortal Devouring Needle is the black thing that pierced through her collarbone. It's a kind of weapon refined with evil techniques. If a cultivator is pierced by the Immortal Devouring Needle, they have no way to pull it out. Their immortal power will be completely sealed and they won't be able to use it at all! Every day, they will have to endure bone-scraping pain and their cultivation will slowly fade away because of the Immortal Devouring Needle. It's a very cruel method of torture, "the weapon spirit said.
"So she's not a refined corpse, but a person?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"Yes, she is indeed a person, and her cultivation was once at the Return to Void realm! But now, she's fallen from the realm of cultivators, just like you before you became one. Although there's immortal power in her body, strictly speaking, she's not a cultivator, "the weapon spirit said.
Gu Zheng and the weapon spirit's conversation took place in a very short time. The woman, who had been severely injured by Meow Meow, finally recovered some strength to speak.
"How, how many years has it been? When, when I gave up hope, someone, someone, actually managed to enter this place. Is everything really predestined? … "
The woman's expression was a little dazed and she spoke with great difficulty.
Gu Zheng frowned and flicked his finger. He first used immortal power to seal the wound on the woman's chest, then used Tang Mo to cut off the chains that hung her up.
Gu Zheng placed the woman on the ground with immortal power and asked, "Who are you?"
