The people of the Heavenly Xuan Sect were waiting for Gu Zheng's reply. Huang Qi and the others were also looking at Gu Zheng.
"It's not impossible to cooperate. Do you want to know my bottom line?" Gu Zheng looked at Wan Zhangshan and said slowly.
Wan Zhangshan frowned slightly. "Please tell me!"
"Forty to sixty. We'll fight for sixty percent, and you guys will take forty percent. In the end, I want to pick one treasure first!"
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, Wan Zhangshan immediately raised his hand to stop the people behind him from speaking. He knew that if he didn't stop them, all kinds of words might appear. After all, even he was angry when he heard Gu Zheng's suggestion.
Although he was angry, Wan Zhangshan was a very cautious person. Moreover, he had seen some of Gu Zheng's methods, so he didn't show his anger on his face. He just looked at Gu Zheng calmly and analyzed in his mind.
After a while.
Wan Zhangshan said, "Fellow cultivator, fifty-fifty! However, you don't have the right to choose first. This is my final concession! "
Wan Zhangshan didn't expect the final decision to be fifty-fifty. However, Gu Zheng's calmness made him have to be cautious in this matter.
Gu Zheng shook his head at Wan Zhangshan's final concession. The conditions he mentioned before were also his bottom line.
Although Gu Zheng didn't say anything, his eyes were very determined. He looked like he was going to fight for this. His reaction was also beyond Wan Zhangshan's expectations.
"Old Wan, this kid is too arrogant. Who does he think he is? Our Heavenly Xuan Sect gave him fifty-fifty, and he dares to complain that it's too little? "
"Elder Wan, I'm about to explode. Let's fight with them!"
Elder Deng and Li Qingqiu, who were the most hot-tempered, transmitted their voices to Wan Zhangshan.
"Both of you, stop for a moment!"
Wan Zhangshan, who was irritated, scolded the two.
"Now that the Supreme Elder isn't here and we're in the Thousand Corpse Demon's treasure, don't think that the Heavenly Xuan Sect can really make everyone afraid!"
"Do you really want to fight? With your and Zhang Clan's kid's cultivation, the few of us might not be able to protect you! "
Wan Zhangshan reprimanded Elder Deng and Li Qingqiu one by one. Gu Zheng also received a series of voice transmissions from his own side.
"Although we will get fewer treasures if we cooperate, it is not without benefits. You may not be able to see through the cultivation of these people, but I know what their realms are like. For people like them to seek cooperation, the so-called 'Corpse Tree' is definitely not something easy to deal with. Don't forget about the ancient giant worm we encountered before!"
Gu Zheng's voice paused for a moment before he continued, "Fellow Daoist Huang and Fellow Daoist Yang will be leaving once we get out of the treasure trove. There's no need to take any more risks."
"Alright, then we'll follow Fellow Daoist Bai's decision!" Fang Xing said.
At the same time, Wan Zhangshan finally made a decision after some analysis by the Heavenly Profound Sect.
"There's really no need to take any risks in this matter. So what if we agree to their request? Although the treasures are good, we need to be alive to enjoy them. Survival is the most important thing! "
After Wan Zhangshan sent a voice transmission to his own people, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart. If someone had told him before Gu Zheng and the others came, he would not have believed it even if he was beaten to death. However, this was the reality. In the face of Gu Zheng's calmness, he made compromises again and again.
"Hahahaha …"
Wan Zhangshan laughed, then looked at Gu Zheng and said solemnly, "No matter what, I admire Fellow Daoist's courage and vigor. Our Heavenly Profound Sect agrees to your request! However, we still need to discuss the details. I also have some requests on my side. I hope Fellow Daoist won't be too difficult to agree to my request! "
Seeing that Wan Zhangshan had agreed, Gu Zheng nodded and said, "As long as your request is not too excessive, I naturally won't be difficult to agree to. As for Fellow Daoist Wan's request and details, tell me all at once!"
Wan Zhangshan's request was about the distribution of the treasures. After Gu Zheng had the priority to choose a treasure, they would also choose a treasure. As for the remaining treasures, they would divide them equally.
Gu Zheng did not refuse Wan Zhangshan's request. Anyway, the reason why he had the priority to choose something was because he wanted to get the jade slip that recorded the information about the hidden treasures on the third floor. As for the other treasures, they were secondary to the jade slip.
After agreeing to Wan Zhangshan's request, everyone swore an Oath of the Heart Demon. The content of the oath was nothing more than working together, not scheming behind the scenes, and not taking the initiative to make enemies in the entire treasure trove of Thousand Corpse Old Demon.
"Now that everyone has made a Heart Demon Oath, Fellow Daoist Wan, tell us what you experienced inside!" Gu Zheng looked at the valley and said.
"After we entered the valley, we did not have time to explore carefully before we encountered a Corpse Tree. This thing is a product of corpse refining. It should be guarding the treasure. After all, it did not chase us out of the valley. This Corpse Tree is very powerful. Aside from it, we did not find any other dangers for the time being. "
After Wan Zhangshan finished speaking, he took out a jade slip and placed it on his forehead for a moment. Then, he handed the jade slip to Gu Zheng. "This is the situation when we fought with the Corpse Tree."
After Gu Zheng read it, he passed the jade slip to Huang Qi and the others. Wan Zhangshan opened his mouth again. "Now that we have so many people, dealing with the Corpse Tree will definitely not be a problem."
"Fellow Daoist Wan, is the Corpse Tree a name you gave to make it convenient, or is it originally called the Corpse Tree?"
From the battle fragments in the jade slip, the Corpse Tree's strength should be at the early stage of Daluo Jinxian. However, Wan Zhangshan and the others did not cause any serious damage to the Corpse Tree. If the Corpse Tree was only the name that Wan Zhangshan and the others gave it, then it would be hard to say if this strange refined corpse, which was the guardian of the treasure, had any other powerful abilities.
Wan Zhangshan frowned and said, "This is a name we gave to make it convenient. As for what it is called, we don't know. Fellow Daoists, do you know anything about this monster?"
Faced with Wan Zhangshan's question, Gu Zheng and the others all shook their heads. They did not know much about this strange Corpse Tree.
"You asked so seriously. I thought you knew what it was!"
Seeing Gu Zheng and the others shake their heads, Li Qingqiu whispered with a mocking tone.
"Qingqiu!"
Wan Zhangshan glared at Li Qingqiu and then looked at Gu Zheng who was frowning at Li Qingqiu. "Fellow Daoist Bai, please forgive her. Qingqiu has always been ignorant of the ways of the world. If she offended you in any way, please forgive her!"
Gu Zheng did not want to lower himself to Li Qingqiu's level. Hearing Wan Zhangshan's words, he nodded.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, do you suspect that the Corpse Tree has some powerful methods?" Wan Zhangshan asked.
"That's right." Gu Zheng said.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, aren't you being too cautious? Although the Thousand Corpse Fiend is a Sage-to-be, his treasure trove is ultimately to find a successor. The Corpse Tree guarding the second floor of the treasure trove is already very powerful. I don't think this monster can make any big waves with so many of us working together! "Elder Deng said.
"Fellow Daoist Deng, why do you say that this treasure trove is for the Thousand Corpse Fiend to find a successor?"
Gu Zheng naturally knew that this treasure trove was indeed a secret place left behind by the Thousand Corpse Fiend to find a successor. However, from his contact with the people of the Heavenly Xuan Sect, he found that the people of the Heavenly Xuan Sect did not even know that this was a hidden treasure trove. Elder Deng was so sure that this treasure trove was for the sake of finding a successor. This made Gu Zheng feel that they seemed to have some information about this treasure trove that he did not know.
Elder Deng obviously did not expect Gu Zheng to ask such a question. She was stunned for a moment, but then she laughed.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, now that we are in a cooperative relationship, I won't hide it from you. Among the treasures in this treasure trove, you'd better not take those related to refining corpses. Otherwise, they will bring you endless trouble! The Thousand Corpse Fiend offended many forces when he was alive, and our Heavenly Xuan Sect is just one of them. The Skull Palace is one of the Thousand Corpse Fiend's representative immortal weapons. Back then, before the Thousand Corpse Fiend faced his tribulation, he said that the Skull Palace contains his legacy. Now that the Skull Palace has appeared, the news will spread further and further. I think many of the Thousand Corpse Fiend's enemies will come here! And these people, in addition to looking for treasures, have a common purpose, which is to destroy the Thousand Corpse Fiend's legacy. "
Elder Deng paused and looked at Gu Zheng with a meaningful smile. "In addition, I can tell Fellow Daoist Bai that we are not the only ones from the Heavenly Xuan Sect who entered the Skull Palace this time. However, the other disciples were separated when they encountered an immortal formation. Among them, there is a Supreme Elder of our Heavenly Xuan Sect, whose cultivation is already at the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian."
Elder Deng's words made Gu Zheng's heart skip a beat. He did not expect that the treasure trove of the Sage-to-be would be entangled with such hatred. As for the Supreme Elder that Elder Deng mentioned, Gu Zheng naturally understood that this was a reminder or a warning for them to think twice before doing anything.
"I feel that Fellow Daoist Bai's suspicion just now did not seem to be overly cautious!" Wan Zhangshan frowned.
"Indeed, it was not overly cautious. In one of the treasure troves that we went to before, there was an ancient giant worm there."
"What?"
Gu Zheng's indifferent voice startled Wan Zhangshan and the others, who widened their eyes almost at the same time. As members of a large sect, even the person with the lowest cultivation among them had read some information about ancient giant worms, so they all knew how terrifying ancient giant worms were.
"How powerful was that ancient giant worm?"
"What did you do after that?"
Wan Zhangshan and Elder Deng asked one after another.
"How powerful was it? Let's put it this way! Daluo Jinxian was at the early stage, so it should be extremely difficult for him to kill that ancient giant worm with one blow. As for what happened afterwards, the ancient giant worm was naturally killed by us. "
Gu Zheng was still very calm, but Wan Zhangshan and the others widened their eyes. They glanced at Gu Zheng and the others again and again, as if they had just met Gu Zheng and the others.
"Seniors, the skin of an ancient giant worm is good stuff. I wonder if you have any? If you do, I would like to exchange some with you! "
Although Li Qingqiu addressed Gu Zheng and the others as seniors, her smile clearly showed that she did not believe that Gu Zheng and the others had really killed an ancient giant worm. What she took out from her storage belt was a high-grade ingredient, the Phoenix Eye Fruit.
"Just a palm-sized piece will do. I will definitely not let you suffer a loss!"
The Phoenix Eye Fruit was one of the better high-grade ingredients, and its value was above the dragon bone. It was indeed reasonable to use it to exchange for a palm-sized piece of ancient giant worm skin.
"Sure, let's exchange!"
Under normal circumstances, Gu Zheng could not be bothered with people like Li Qingqiu. However, since they were in a cooperative relationship, it would be less troublesome to exchange a piece of ancient giant worm skin for her. After all, killing an ancient giant worm was a symbol of strength.
The ancient giant worm skin that Gu Zheng took out had not been processed. The people of the Heavenly Xuan Sect could tell at a glance that this ancient giant worm had not been dead for long. Although they did not say anything when they saw the ancient giant worm skin, there was a subtle change in the way they looked at Gu Zheng and the others after seeing it.
"Seniors, you are really powerful. You were actually able to kill an ancient giant worm …"
Li Qingqiu's change was obvious. She looked at Gu Zheng with a beautiful smile, and there seemed to be something else in her voice. However, before she could finish, she was interrupted by Wan Zhangshan.
"Although the Corpse Tree may have other tricks up its sleeve, Fellow Bai and the others were able to kill a few ancient giant worms. We should be fine as long as we are careful when facing the Corpse Tree. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Bai has any good strategies for killing the Corpse Tree? "
Faced with Wan Zhangshan's inquiry, Gu Zheng suggested some of his ideas. After a brief discussion, they stepped into the valley.
"Weapon Spirit, why are you not saying anything? What do you think about the Corpse Tree that we have yet to meet? "Gu Zheng asked.
"You can think of almost everything that I can think of to deal with the products of refining corpses! Therefore, since I don't have any good ideas, I can only remain silent. "
The Weapon Spirit paused for a moment, then said, "However, the Corpse Tree that we are about to face is definitely not simple. You must be careful."
"I know." Gu Zheng nodded.
The valley was very big. It was not a foreign plane. It should be a part of the Skeleton Palace. Other than soil and stones, there were no plants.
The valley was circular, and there was a big tree in the most important position. It was round and looked about ten meters tall. It was as thick as a house. It was the Corpse Tree that had caused Wan Zhangshan and the others to suffer.
The Corpse Tree was a product of refining corpses. It was like a tree that was refined from hundreds of corpses. Its attack methods were strange, and its destructive power was very strong.
Gu Zheng and the others set up seven immortal formations along the way. Unfortunately, their power could not compare to the Immortal Trapping Formation. It could only be said that it was better than nothing.
After the immortal formations were set up, Wan Zhangshan went to lure the Corpse Tree into the immortal formation. He was still quite far away from the Corpse Tree, but he could already feel the Corpse Tree shaking.
The huge Corpse Tree rose from the ground. The original trunk split into two legs, and the original branches became four arms. The whole thing was a huge humanoid monster.
Wan Zhangshan pushed his palms down. Light flashed beside the Corpse Tree. It was four ice spears that suddenly appeared. They pierced through the Corpse Tree in a flash.
The Heavenly Profound Sect was proficient in water-type immortal arts. Wan Zhangshan's ice spears were also very powerful. They pierced through the Corpse Tree's body and did not cause any serious damage. They only caused some yellow liquid to flow out from the wound.
"Roar!"
The Corpse Tree roared at the sky. As the yellow liquid splashed out of its mouth, Wan Zhangshan was immediately surrounded by lightning.
Especially evil things like refining corpses. They were born to be afraid of lightning and fire. However, the Corpse Tree's attacks contained lightning. This alone was enough to show that it was not ordinary. After all, it was not afraid of these things. This also meant that it would not be easy to deal with it using normal methods.
Wan Zhangshan's responsibility was to lure the enemy. Naturally, he would not tangle with the Corpse Tree in the sky. After shaking off the lightning, he immediately flew forward.
Fortunately, the Corpse Tree did not have much intelligence. Seeing Wan Zhangshan fly away, it immediately chased after him.
The first killing formation took effect. Dozens of natives that were ten feet tall emerged from the ground.
Although the natives had the strength of an early Jin Xian, they were not real people. They did not have any fighting skills. They only knew how to attack with brute force.
Compared to the huge Corpse Tree, the natives were like children. When they threw their fists at the Corpse Tree, they were hit by the Corpse Tree's arms and flew away like kites with broken strings.
Without waiting for the natives to launch a second wave of attack, the Corpse Tree raised its foot and stomped on the natives. If one did not see it with their own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that a foot made up of many rotting corpses could have such shocking destructive power.
After the natives died, the Corpse Tree broke through the killing formation with brute force. After a few steps, it fell into the second immortal formation.
The second immortal formation was of the wood element. It also had an array spirit that could release powerful lightning.
Once the Corpse Tree fell into the second killing formation, it was bombarded by thunderbolts.
"Gugugu …"
Facing the bombardment of thunderbolts, the Corpse Tree did not move at all. Instead, it made a sound like someone being tickled.
At this moment.
Gu Zheng and the rest were still quite far from the corpse tree. There was a light screen in the void in front of them, showing the corpse tree's appearance in the immortal array.
"When we first fought, we did not set up this immortal formation because we felt that lightning would not have much effect on the Corpse Tree."
The second killing formation was set up by Elder Deng. Looking at the clear image on the screen, her old face was slightly embarrassed.
"Some things may not be the same as what you see. It's not a big deal to try."
The moment Gu Zheng's words left his mouth, the Corpse Tree, who was annoyed by the tickling, began to attack wildly in the formation. It wouldn't be long before it broke out of the formation and escaped.
Fang Xing's eyes lit up. Seeming to have thought of something, he looked at Gu Zheng and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, what do you think will happen if we use the killing formation on the Corpse Tree?"
In response to Fang Xing's question, Gu Zheng smiled and said, "It will be very effective!"
"Unfortunately, I do not have the item to set up the killing formation." Fang Xing sighed.
"I do, but it is not enough."
"I do not have it here either."
Huang Qi and Yang Jue spoke one after the other.
"It's fine. I have everything you need to set up an 'ambush'."
Gu Zheng smiled and flew towards the Corpse Tree.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, where are you going?" Wan Zhangshan asked.
"I am also going to set up an immortal formation." Gu Zheng said.
