Fang Xing's words were not without reason. Gu Zheng thought about it and agreed.
"Which of the places on the third floor do you want to go?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Let's go to the fourth one!" Fang Xing said.
The third floor was the last floor of the Skull Palace. There were a total of six places with great rewards! The fourth place Fang Xing mentioned was the closest to the hidden treasure. Under the premise that they didn't know what was in those places, the fourth place was indeed the first choice!
"Alright, if nothing special happens, we'll go to the fourth place to search for the treasure, then go to the hidden treasure!" Gu Zheng said.
The passage from the second floor to the third floor was at the end of the cave. When Gu Zheng arrived, there were three nuns standing at the end of the cave.
The three nuns were all at the Jin Xian level. They smiled at Gu Zheng's group from afar.
"Amitabha!"
The leader of the nuns chanted, then said to Gu Zheng and Fang Xing who came closer: "Benefactors, are you two going to enter the third floor of the Skull Palace?"
"Of course. May I know why Grandmaster is asking this?" Gu Zheng asked.
"It's not a smooth path here."
The leader of the nuns pointed to the end of the passage. There was a darkness that could even swallow one's gaze.
"Entering this darkness means entering the legendary 'Demonic Sound Bewildering Formation'. Those who don't know how to break the formation may be lost forever. I know a little about this formation. If you two don't know how to break the 'Demonic Sound Bewildering Formation', I suggest you don't enter rashly. If you two know how to break the formation, can you bring the three of us in? We can take care of each other on the way! "The leader of the nuns said.
"There's actually a 'Demonic Sound Bewildering Formation'!"
Fang Xing transmitted his voice to Gu Zheng with shock.
"Is this formation very strong?"
Gu Zheng didn't know much about the Demonic Sound Bewitching Array.
"I've only heard of this formation from a senior. That senior once said that this is a super formation that combines a killing formation, a trapping formation, and an illusory formation. Even Daluo Jinxian could fall in this formation!"
Fang Xing's voice paused, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, there is indeed a skull symbol here on the map, but who would have thought that there would be such a formation blocking the way!"
"Let's go. Although I've never heard of the 'Demonic Sound Bewitching Array', with my understanding of formations, I feel that breaking it is at most a matter of time."
The Artifact Spirit's voice echoed in Gu Zheng's mind.
"My apologies, my three masters. We don't know how to break formations, but since we're already here, we don't want to stop because of a formation. Farewell!"
Gu Zheng didn't want to walk with the three nuns. After saluting them with his fists, he led Fang Xing into the darkness.
"Benefactors, please be careful."
The voice of the leader of the nuns sounded behind Gu Zheng.
Stepping into the darkness was also stepping into the Demonic Sound Bewitching Array. When their vision returned to normal, Gu Zheng and Fang Xing appeared in a palace.
The palace was very luxurious, and there were many decorations of gold and jade. There were a few corpses lying on the ground, but from their clothes, it was impossible to tell which sect they belonged to.
"The things here are real, but the valuable ones have already been taken away by those who came here first."
The Artifact Spirit's voice echoed in Gu Zheng's mind.
"It seems that this Demonic Sound Bewitching Array is a formation within a formation. Wait a moment, I'll deduce a way to break it."
Gu Zheng was not unfamiliar with the formation within a formation that the Artifact Spirit spoke of. Back on Earth, the island that floated out of the sea was a formation within a formation, and he had passed through one formation after another.
"It's a pity that among the methods of breaking formations on the map I first obtained, there were none that targeted the Demonic Sound Bewitching Array. Otherwise, it would have saved me some trouble."
While speaking, Fang Xing split his Divine Sense to explore the formation.
"Wuwuwu …"
A strange sound came from the formation, as if a woman was humming a song, but also as if a woman was crying.
Fang Xing frowned, the sudden and continuous sound made him feel very uncomfortable, as if he wanted to immerse himself in it and be controlled by it.
Shaking his head, Fang Xing used his Divine Sense to resist the demonic sound, and his originally affected state of mind immediately calmed down, and the demonic sound that entered his ears became much smaller.
Fang Xing still needed to use his Divine Sense to resist the demonic sound, but Gu Zheng did not need to resist the demonic sound at all. The Mind Calming Technique had already been activated automatically, and the demonic sound's effect on him was zero.
However, Gu Zheng suddenly thought of Lu Piaoxiang! This level of demonic sound could be dealt with by cultivators at the initial Jin Xian stage, but cultivators below the Jin Xian stage would most likely be greatly affected. Lu Piaoxiang's cultivation was only at the Return to Void stage, so how would she deal with it in this kind of environment?
After thinking about it again, Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled. Lu Piaoxiang had Feng Weikong by her side, and she herself was the descendant of Lu Chunqiu, so the things she could resolve in the Palace of Skeletons definitely could not be measured by normal cultivation.
"Gugu …"
Affected by the demonic sound, the corpses on the ground made strange sounds, and stood up shakily.
"This is only a trap formation, you can attack without worry!"
The Artifact Spirit's voice sounded again, she had already helped Gu Zheng find a way to break the formation.
A jet-black saber light flashed, and a corpse was cut in half by Gu Zheng's waist.
Seeing that Gu Zheng's attack did not trigger anything, Fang Xing immediately began to clean up the corpses.
The owners of these corpses were at the Return to Void stage and early Jin Xian stage when they were alive. This could be seen when they attacked Gu Zheng and Fang Xing with their Immortal Techniques.
However, the corpses affected by the demonic sound were not as powerful as the Heavenly Xuan Sect members controlled by the Corpse Tree. Although these people now knew how to use Immortal Techniques, they were not as agile as real people, so their combat strength was naturally reduced. Moreover, these people's Immortal Tools had all been taken by their predecessors, and cultivators without Immortal Tools were as good as having their arms cut off.
The corpses were quickly dealt with, and Gu Zheng used the method provided by the Artifact Spirit to strike the air repeatedly, then led Fang Xing to a corner of the great hall. Light and darkness flashed in front of their eyes, and they appeared in a new Immortal Formation.
The new Immortal Formation was square in shape, with a length and width of four hundred feet, and looked like a huge stone room. In front of Gu Zheng and Fang Xing, there were five people standing near the stone wall. There was a strange flower with a long stalk floating in the air. There were five corpses lying on the ground. Looking at the clothes of the corpses, it was clear that they were not with the people standing there.
Gu Zheng and Fang Xing's appearance caused the original Immortal Formation to change. Apart from the additional yellow sand dancing in the air, one of the five screamed as a ghostly hand suddenly appeared on the ground and grabbed his feet, then disappeared from the Immortal Formation.
"Woo woo woo woo …"
The demonic sound rang out again, and the corpses on the ground were controlled again, and began to attack the four people standing on the other side of the stone wall.
"We're so unlucky. Once we appeared, they were affected. They're going to vent their anger on us. We're strong opponents!" Fang Xing said telepathically.
"You know those people?" Gu Zheng asked.
"These people are from the Heaven's Music Sect, which is the backer of the Chen family in Luxia Town. The old man leading them is the Grand Elder of the Heaven's Music Sect, Lu Feifan. His cultivation is at the early stage of Daluo Jinxian, and he has a top-grade Immortal Tool. I've had some dealings with him before."
After listening to Fang Xing's description, Gu Zheng frowned. "The Heaven's Music Sect is far away in the North Continent, so why did they come to the Sunset Mountain in the Aparagodānīya State? Could they be chasing after Lu Piaoxiang and that skinny old man? "
"Damn it! Could you have been tricked by that skinny old man? He used a high-grade immortal item to exchange for a Spatial Immortal Stone. Where did this immortal item that was used to make a losing trade come from? "
Gu Zheng recalled the smile on Feng Weikong's face when he took out the Immortal Tool clothes. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was extremely treacherous.
"Bastard!"
Fang Xing cursed. After all, what Gu Zheng said was not impossible. If this Immortal Tool clothes really came from the Heaven's Music Sect, then he would not be able to explain himself. What made Fang Xing even more depressed was that Lu Feifan was already walking towards them. This made it impossible for him to take off the Immortal Tool clothes and put them away.
The extra flying sand in the array was not useless. The appearance of the flying sand added a heavy pressure to the array, so much so that people like Lu Feifan, with his cultivation at the Daluo Jinxian Realm, would walk very slowly because of it. As for people like Fang Xing, with his cultivation at the Jin Xian Realm, his speed would definitely slow down even more because of it.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, what should we do now?"
Fang Xing, who knew Lu Feifan's methods, could not help but feel anxious.
"What else can we do? He actually dared to walk over alone. This is a good opportunity!"
Putting aside the fact that the Immortal Tool clothes on Fang Xing's body did not belong to the Heaven's Music Sect, just the fact that they had entered the array and caused the Heaven's Music Sect to lose one person was already enough for Lu Feifan to come over to denounce them. In a special environment like a treasure trove, being soft-hearted and indecisive was not a good thing.
"Yes, f * ck him up!"
Fear changed the tone of Fang Xing's voice. There was a kind of desperation in it.
The distance was suitable. With a thought from Gu Zheng, the huge Fire Dragon appeared and disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already beside Lu Feifan.
"How dare you!"
Lu Feifan was furious. He did not expect that Gu Zheng and Fang Xing would dare to attack. If he had expected it, he would definitely not have come alone.
Under the influence of the Immortal Array, both the Fire Dragon and Lu Feifan's speed became slower. However, a loud sound was still emitted from Lu Feifan's fist and the Fire Dragon's body.
After all, Lu Feifan's cultivation was in the Daluo Jinxian Realm. He punched the Fire Dragon out. However, Gu Zheng's Fire Dragon was also very powerful. When Lu Feifan punched the Fire Dragon out, his body could not help but take a few steps back.
At the same time, Gu Zheng's Ice Dragon appeared. Fang Xing's Immortal Tool also smashed towards Lu Feifan. The other three people from the Heaven's Music Sect also rushed over.
"Clang!"
A clear sound like the string of a zither was heard. A purple-red object flew out from Lu Feifan's body and floated behind him.
The purple-red object floating behind Lu Feifan was a pipa. Without anyone playing it, it actually made a pleasant sound.
Although the sound of the pipa was pleasant to hear, it was actually very deadly. It was not only a spiritual attack of sound waves, but it could also produce Qi blades like Sword Qi. Whether it was Fang Xing's Immortal Tool or Gu Zheng's two dragons, they were all attacked by it.
While the Immortal Tool was fighting automatically, Lu Feifan himself was not idle. He pushed out a palm toward Gu Zheng and Fang Xing from afar. The surging energy of heaven and earth was mobilized by him. In an instant, a powerful pressure appeared beside Gu Zheng and Fang Xing.
"Ugh …"
Fang Xing groaned. His body trembled slightly and he wanted to kneel on one knee under the pressure.
Although Gu Zheng's situation was not bad, he was also very uncomfortable under the pressure. He had to use the fastest method to break the situation. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
With a frown, Gu Zheng made everyone in the Immortal Array space disappear.
"Immortal Domain!"
The originally yellow sand turned into a world of ice and snow. Even with a top-grade Immortal Tool, Lu Feifan was still shocked and shouted.
It was because he understood the Immortal Domain that Lu Feifan could understand how terrifying it was. Not daring to waste any time, he immediately used his Divine Will to find the weak point of the space.
Lu Feifan was not idle. His three helpers were not idle either! Fear Envoy used all their strength in one place. They used all their skills and attacked the Immortal Domain without holding back. Although their attacks looked like they were hitting the void, their methods were different. Their attacks were actually aimed at the 'walls' of the Immortal Domain.
This time was different. Gu Zheng used his Divine Will to trap a total of four enemies! Among these four people, except for one who was at the early stage of Golden Immortal, the other three were at the late stage of Golden Immortal.
If he only trapped one Daluo Jinxian early stage, Gu Zheng would not be in a hurry. He could slowly play with the other party. However, if he trapped too many enemies, it would be a different situation.
In general, the Immortal Domain's space was most afraid of being broken by tricks. That was to find the weak point of the space and then break it. Gu Zheng's Immortal Domain was different. Although there was a weak point in his Immortal Domain, this weak point could be changed according to his will. Therefore, his Immortal Domain's space was more difficult to break than ordinary people's space.
However, if it could not be broken by tricks, it could be broken by force! The three Daluo Jinxian late stage Immortal Cultivators used their strength in one place, so Gu Zheng had no choice but to get rid of them first.
"Did you enjoy the performance?"
Following Gu Zheng's shout, a huge snow dragon rushed out from the ground and sent the three people of the Heavenly Music Sect flying into the sky. At the same time, Gu Zheng frowned. The energy in the Immortal Domain was mobilized, and the three people who were sent flying into the sky were fixed there.
However, this was, after all, aimed at the three Jin Xian late stage Immortal Cultivators at the same time. Their resistance to the confinement allowed the Immortal Power in their bodies to still circulate slowly, so that they could also split out their Divine Thought Clones to attack. However, all of this had already lost the standard of their normal state. After all, this was Gu Zheng's Immortal Domain. Here, Gu Zheng only needed to think and he had incredible ability! And this ability was also increasing with the increase of his cultivation.
Whether it was the attack of immortal arts, immortal weapons, or the attack of the Divine Thought Clones, all of them were sent flying to other places by Gu Zheng's frown. At the same time, Gu Zheng raised his saber and slashed down. The crescent-shaped saber Qi swept across the waists of the three people. When blood spilled, three corpses fell from the sky.
"Bai, Fellow Daoist Bai, just now, just now …"
Although this was not the first time Fang Xing had entered Gu Zheng's Immortal Domain, he was still stuttering in shock. Three Jin Xian late stage Immortal Cultivators were killed by Gu Zheng like chickens in front of his eyes.
"It's okay. You were right not to take action in that situation."
Gu Zheng knew that what Fang Xing wanted to say was that when these three guys were attacking the Immortal Domain with all their might, he did not dare to take action.
"Bang!"
A loud sound was heard. Lv Feifan, who had found the weak point of the Immortal Domain's space, launched a powerful attack on Gu Zheng's Immortal Domain, causing the entire Immortal Domain to shake! If such an attack came again, then Gu Zheng's Immortal Domain would be broken.
With a thought, Gu Zheng shifted the weak point of the space. Lv Feifan launched a second strong attack, but the Immortal Domain did not respond.
Previously, in order to prevent Lv Feifan and the others from attacking one place, when Gu Zheng brought these people from the Heaven's Music Sect into the Immortal Domain, he separated them some distance so that it would be convenient to divide them into two groups.
Now that the other three people were gone, only Lv Feifan was left. Gu Zheng was no longer as anxious as before.
Gu Zheng, who was walking alone in the air, disappeared into thin air. When he reappeared, he was behind Lv Feifan and slashed at Lv Feifan's neck.
After all, Lv Feifan's cultivation was at the early stage of Daluo Jinxian. Although this was Gu Zheng's home ground, when Gu Zheng shifted his position, he also sensed it. Therefore, he turned around and launched a palm attack at the critical moment.
"Bang!"
The palm wind and the saber light collided with a loud sound. Lv Feifan took the opportunity to distance himself from Gu Zheng.
"Fellow Daoist, you and I have no enmity …"
Before Lv Feifan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Zheng's spatial oppression. Gu Zheng did not want to talk too much with him.
However, Lv Feifan's realm was there. The spatial oppression on him was not as strong as that on the other three people.
In the face of the spatial oppression, Lv Feifan's body shook. A red light flashed on the pipa behind him, and the spatial oppression was immediately dissolved.
"Fellow Daoist, listen to me!"
Lv Feifan did not want to fight with Gu Zheng, because he knew that he was no match for Gu Zheng in this Immortal Realm. Therefore, he also flew away as he spoke.
"As long as you can let this matter go, I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward. I swear that I will not be your enemy!"
In order to survive, Lv Feifan was also going all out at this time. As long as Gu Zheng was willing to let him go, he would agree to any excessive request. After all, it was not easy to cultivate for thousands of years!
"It's too late!"
In response to Lv Feifan's begging for mercy, Gu Zheng only replied with two words.
Almost at the same time as Gu Zheng's reply, Lv Feifan once again felt the fluctuation of position displacement. His eyes turned cold as he suddenly turned around and opened his mouth in the direction of the fluctuation.
The Heavenly Music Sect required a unique cultivation technique. They entered the Dao through music and were also good at all kinds of sound wave attacks.
Although Lv Feifan opened his mouth silently, this was actually an extremely overbearing Immortal Skill. The special sound wave attack formed a line at this moment. Anyone who was hit by the sound wave attack, even if their cultivation was at the intermediate stage of Daluo Jinxian, would be momentarily distracted.
In a battle, a moment of distraction was fatal. Therefore, the Immortal Skill that Lv Feifan used at this time was also one of his trump cards.
