"I tried. Not only was it fruitless, but one of my friends even lost his life."
Gu Zheng lied. Although he was not an absolute villain, he was not an absolute gentleman either. Although most of the things in the storage belts of the Tianxuan Sect members were with him, there were still some with Huang Qi and Yang Jue. Even if he was willing to return some of his things to the Tianxuan Sect, the Tianxuan Sect would most likely not let it go. Since that was the case, he might as well not admit it! It would be difficult for him to give up the resources that he had already obtained!
"Is that really the case?"
Li Wenshan looked at Gu Zheng, his originally unfriendly gaze turning cold.
"Yes, that's right."
Gu Zheng paused for a moment before continuing, "The reason why I came here is because I saw fellow Zhang here. Although he left without saying goodbye, no matter what, we have worked together before. I feel that it would be better for me to come and talk about what happened in the valley later to avoid any misunderstandings."
"Boy, if you really didn't take those storage belts, do you dare to let me search your soul?" Li Wenshan asked.
Gu Zheng's calm eyes turned cold. He looked straight into Li Wenshan's eyes and said, "Are you joking with me?"
"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Li Wenshan said word by word.
"I think you're joking with me because what you said is very funny!" Gu Zheng sneered.
"You're courting death!"
"No!"
Just as Li Wenshan raised his eyebrows, Lang Feng stopped him.
Although Lang Feng stopped Li Wenshan from attacking, Li Wenshan still used the energy of heaven and earth to suppress Gu Zheng.
The pressure of the energy of heaven and earth made Gu Zheng very uncomfortable. If he was an ordinary Daluo Jinxian Early Stage cultivator, his legs would have trembled in the face of the energy of a Late Daluo Jinxian Late Stage cultivator, or even worse.
However, although Gu Zheng's legs did not tremble, his face was already red. No matter what, his opponent was still a Late Daluo Jinxian Cultivator!
If they fought without holding back, Gu Zheng wouldn't fear Li Wenshan at all. But, the disparity between their realms was also a fact! It was as if Gu Zheng was a child with a knife, and Li Wenshan was an adult with bare hands. Although Gu Zheng could kill him, he was not as strong as Li Wenshan in terms of strength.
"If you don't accept it, don't blame me for being impolite!"
If it was not necessary, Gu Zheng did not want to face so many enemies at once. But in other words, he was ready to fight at any time.
"Nonsense!"
Following Lang Feng's shout, the pressure formed by Li Wenshan's Heaven and Earth Energy was dispelled, and Gu Zheng's body also became lighter.
"Little friend, please don't take offense. Wen Shan is Qingqiu's grandfather. Please forgive him."
As a late-stage Daluo Jinxian, the fact that Lang Feng could say such words was already very humble.
"Li Qingqiu didn't die because of you. Don't vent your anger on me. I'll let bygones be bygones, but if you're impolite to me again, I won't be polite either!"
Gu Zheng did not feel grateful just because Lang Feng was easy to talk to. He looked at Li Wenshan with eyes as cold as ice.
Li Wenshan still wanted to say something, but Lang Feng reached out to stop him.
"Little friend, you have such courage and cultivation at such a young age. It's really commendable. If you really don't have a storage belt like Qingqiu and the others, then please record what happened in the valley for me to see. "
Although Lang Feng was reasonable, he didn't really believe Gu Zheng's words. Especially when Li Wenshan's Heaven and Earth Energy pressure on Gu Zheng just now, he could see that Gu Zheng's true strength was much higher than what Zhang Nanfeng had described. After all, according to Zhang Nanfeng's description, Gu Zheng's cultivation was only at the late-stage Jin Xian. However, Gu Zheng's performance just now was not inferior to that of a mid-stage Daluo Jinxian. With such a cultivation, although he might not be able to kill the Corpse Tree, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to take a few storage belts.
"It's normal to have doubts. If you have any requests, just say them. As long as they aren't excessive, it's fine."
Gu Zheng smiled mockingly at Li Wenshan. Then, he took out a jade slip and recorded what happened in the valley with his Divine Sense. He handed it to Lang Feng.
The Divine Sense Imprint could hide or change some things that had originally happened, but when something was completely hidden or changed, there would more or less be some clues. As for whether or not it would be seen through by others, it would depend on the ability of the tamper and the ability of the observer.
The Divine Sense Imprint that Gu Zheng gave to Lang Feng was naturally tampered with. As for whether it could hide from Li Wenshan, he wasn't worried at all! After all, the Divine Sense of 'Fabricate' could even deceive himself, let alone an outsider.
After reading the jade slip, Lang Feng sighed and handed it to Li Wenshan, who read it one by one.
"As for what happened just now, I hope that you won't take it to heart."
Lang Feng smiled at Gu Zheng and then said, "The Skull Palace is full of danger. I wonder if you're willing to cooperate with us and go to the core of the treasure together?"
"I appreciate your kindness, but I already have someone to cooperate with. If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave!" Gu Zheng cupped his fists and said.
"Okay, since you already have someone to cooperate with, then forget it. Farewell!" Lang Feng cupped his fists in return.
"Phew …"
After leaving the Skull Palace, the beast cultivator in white couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng asked.
"What do you think?"
The beast cultivator in white rolled his eyes at Gu Zheng, and then said with a faint smile, "No matter what, you're really bold. There was no conflict just now. If there was a conflict, how do you plan to resolve it?"
Looking at the beast cultivator in white's scrutinizing eyes, Gu Zheng said calmly, "Nothing happened, right?"
"Fine, pretend I didn't say anything!"
The beast cultivator in white shrugged, "Going to the Skull Palace with you can be considered as a test of our cooperation. It's also my apology for ambushing you before. Now that the test has been passed, we should talk about the cooperation."
"Before talking about the cooperation, shouldn't you tell me what they said through voice transmission?" Gu Zheng said.
Just now in the Skull Palace, although Li Wenshan and Lang Feng both spoke to Gu Zheng, things like voice transmission were inevitable. This was also the reason why Gu Zheng asked the beast cultivator in white to go with him.
"They didn't say much through voice transmission. In summary, there are only two points. One is that the one surnamed Lang berated the one surnamed Li. He reminded me that the Tianxuan Sect is a righteous sect. If they forcibly search your soul, what's the difference between them and evil? The other point is that the one surnamed Lang reminded me that you are a strange person with the Immortal Realm, and I am a beast cultivator that they can't see through. Since the two of us dared to go to the Skull Palace, we must have something to rely on. It's not wise to fight a life and death battle with us over such a small matter. "
After the beast cultivator in white finished speaking, he looked at the silent Gu Zheng and said again, "You are very powerful. You actually have the Immortal Realm! However, they are afraid of the Immortal Realm, which also means that they don't have it! This point alone makes us much safer. It's also what you rely on to go to the Skull Palace, right? "
"Think about it yourself!"
Gu Zheng smiled enigmatically and said, "Speak. Let's talk about the cooperation."
The cooperation was actually quite simple. Gu Zheng and the white-clothed beast cultivator Ying Fei would share the resources they obtained in the future. As for the details, the more important point was that Gu Zheng had the priority to choose food resources. Ying Fei had the limited right to choose immortal tools, pills and other resources suitable for beast cultivators.
Time passed unknowingly. The time limit restriction was about to be lifted.
During this period of time, two groups of people entered the Li Palace where Gu Zheng and Ying Fei were.
There were two people in the first batch to enter the Li Palace, and their cultivations were respectively at the early stage and middle stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. Before they had even entered the Li Palace, Gu Zheng had already felt the warning of danger from his sixth sense! In addition, Ying Fei knew where the intruders would appear, so before the two intruders could make a move, Gu Zheng and Ying Fei caught them off guard. They easily disposed of the two and obtained two storage belts with many resources.
The second group of people to enter the Li Palace had five. After they entered, Gu Zheng and Ying Fei showed a bit of strength, so they obediently left the immortal array.
In addition, Ying Fei's water element demonic techniques were very powerful. His original body should be a spirit beast of the water. In addition, his surname was' Ying '. Gu Zheng had guessed his true identity.
"Kacha, kacha …"
The barrier protecting the natural treasure was cracking bit by bit, like a chick about to break out of its shell.
In the immortal array Gu Zheng was in, the natural treasure inside the light barrier was called the Root of the Earth. According to the first come, first served relationship, when Gu Zheng was discussing the matter of cooperation, he had already discussed the ownership of it.
"It's a pity that it's an earth element natural treasure. It's the opposite of my original body's element. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you have it so easily."
Looking at the Root of the Earth that was about to fall into Gu Zheng's hands, Ying Fei gnashed his teeth.
"How many times have you said the same thing? Aren't you annoyed? "
Gu Zheng glared at Ying Fei, then said: "After we take this natural treasure, if the item to activate the transfer array is not the flower in my hand, then we'll have to go to the Zhen Palace and Xun Palace to take a look."
Whether it was the Demonic Sound Bewildering Array or the Nine Palace Array, they were all related to the five elements. Gu Zheng's Wondrous Flower was of the wood attribute. If the teleportation immortal array here wasn't activated by Wondrous Flowers, then the only ones that could be activated by Wondrous Flowers were the Zhen Palace and Xun Palace. After all, Zhen and Xun in the Eight Trigrams corresponded to wood.
"Kacha!"
Another soft sound. The colorless barrier that was full of cracks shattered. The white light at the top of the stone platform was extinguished, revealing the transfer array below. The Root of the Earth that was originally floating in the air also fell down.
Gu Zheng waved his hand and the Root of the Earth flew into his hand. He and Ying Fei, who were originally floating in the air, immediately started to size up the transfer array.
The material that powered the transfer array was missing. It looked like it was missing something like a pearl. It was not something that Gu Zheng's flower could insert.
"Which one to go first?" Ying Fei asked.
"Let's go to the Xun Palace first!"
The Zhen Palace was where the Heavenly Profound Sect's people were. If there was a choice, Gu Zheng did not want to go there.
There were originally seven people in the Xun Palace. When Gu Zheng and Ying Fei entered, the original number was reduced to three. When the other four saw that the transfer array could not be used, they immediately went to find a transfer array that could be used.
Facing Gu Zheng and Ying Fei's entry, the three people in the Xun Palace showed hostility. Instead, there was a trace of hope in their eyes. However, the hope quickly turned into disappointment. The item missing from the transfer array was also not Gu Zheng's flower.
"Looks like I really have to go to the Zhen Palace!" Gu Zheng thought.
"Previously, you wondered if you would go to the Xun Palace twice. I didn't expect it to be true!"
The artifact spirit laughed. When Gu Zheng went to the Zhen Palace for the first time, he muttered outside the immortal array's barrier. He thought that it was possible for him to come to the Zhen Palace twice!
There were also people leaving the Zhen Palace. However, no one from the Heavenly Profound Sect was missing. They were all studying the transfer array.
"Why are you here again?"
Looking at Gu Zheng and Ying Fei, Li Wenshan's attitude was slightly better. However, his tone was still not very friendly.
"Wenshan!"
Lang Feng glared at Li Wenshan. Then, he smiled at Gu Zheng and said, "Little friend Bai, this transfer array is missing the necessary item to activate it. It looks like it won't be easy to use it. Have you gone to the other palaces? Has anyone left using the transfer array? "
"We went to one, but no one left."
Gu Zheng paused. He looked at Lang Feng and said, "Speaking of which, aren't you anxious? Why didn't you go elsewhere to try your luck? "
"Although I don't have the missing item to activate the transfer array, I know that this transfer array can only be used once! Rather than going to other places to try my luck, why don't we do it here? Maybe someone who can activate the transfer array will come over? "Lang Feng said with a smile.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng was about to fly to the transfer array, Li Wenshan blocked him.
"I'd like to see if the mysterious item I have is the missing item of the Teleportation Immortal Formation here."
Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Li Wenshan's eyes lit up. He immediately stepped aside.
Gu Zheng looked at the transfer array. The missing item was a small hole. It was the size of a flower stalk.
"Little friend Bai, how is it?" Lang Feng asked.
"To be honest, I have the item to activate the transfer array …"
"What?"
Before Gu Zheng could finish, Li Wenshan's eyes widened.
"I do have the item to activate the transfer array. However, as you all know, this transfer array can only carry five people. However, there are seven of us here!" Gu Zheng said slowly.
"This damned Li Wenshan. He actually sent a voice transmission to Lang Feng to kill us!"
While Li Wenshan was sending a voice transmission to Lang Feng, Ying Fei also sent a voice transmission to Gu Zheng.
"However, Lang Feng didn't agree to it." Ying Fei said again.
"Let me first thank little friend Bai for sharing it with us!"
Lang Feng cupped his fists towards Gu Zheng. "The item to activate the transfer array was contributed by Fellow Daoist Bai. Moreover, there are only two of you. Therefore, we should be the ones to reduce the quota. However, since we coincidentally came together again, does little friend Bai want to cooperate with us? "
"Forget about cooperation. I don't want to arouse suspicion. When we reach the place, we will go our own ways!"
"You …"
Gu Zheng looked at Li Wenshan as he spoke. Li Wenshan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he only said one word and flicked his sleeve.
"Time is of the essence. I will activate the transfer array now."
Gu Zheng took out the strange flower and inserted it into the small hole on the teleportation immortal array. The flower, which was only blooming slightly, began to blossom at a speed visible to the naked eye. A huge amount of energy was sent into the teleportation immortal array. The dim surface of the teleportation immortal array lit up, and countless mysterious runes began to spin on it.
Gu Zheng and Ying Fei took the lead and stood on the transfer array. Lang Feng, Li Wenshan, and an early stage Daluo Jinxian from the Heavenly Profound Sect followed closely behind.
The transfer array could only accommodate five people. One could imagine how close they were! However, before the oppressive atmosphere could last for a few breaths of time, after the light from the teleportation formation shone brightly, the figures of Gu Zheng and the others had already disappeared from the Xun Palace, and the strange flowers that were originally inserted into the teleportation formation also withered.
Light and darkness alternated. The place where Gu Zheng and the others appeared seemed to be a huge cave.
Although the cave was big, it wasn't too deep. In front of Gu Zheng and the others was an ice wall. This wall was built with ice strips that were as long as a person. Each ice strip had a person sealed inside.
Almost at the same time that Gu Zheng and the others saw the ice strips, a blinding light flashed and a figure appeared in the void.
"Thousand Corpse Old Demon!"
Li Wenshan exclaimed. Their Heavenly Profound Sect had enmity with the Thousand Corpse Old Demon. He had seen the Thousand Corpse Old Demon once from afar.
The Thousand Corpse Old Demon that appeared in the sky wasn't the real Thousand Corpse Old Demon. It was only a strand of Divine Sense left behind by the Thousand Corpse Old Demon.
"Welcome, welcome. Welcome to my Skull Palace!"
The Thousand Corpse Old Demon's Divine Sense Phantom in the sky was full of smiles. If one only looked at his appearance, it was really difficult to connect the notorious Thousand Corpse Old Demon with this white-haired, youthful, and amiable old man.
"I am a person who values luck. Now, I invite the Fellow Daoist who was standing on the wooden seat on the transfer array to take a step forward!"
The transfer array could only accommodate five people according to the corresponding positions of the five elements. The person standing on the wooden seat was Li Wenshan.
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Wenshan. Sweat immediately appeared on Li Wenshan's forehead. He also didn't understand what the Thousand Corpse Old Demon wanted to do. Could it be that he wanted to give some benefits? He didn't think so!
"You won't take a step forward? You think that if you don't take a step forward, I won't be able to do anything? "
The Thousand Corpse Old Demon's gaze turned cold as he stared at Li Wenshan. Suddenly, a black gas shot out from the top of the cave toward Li Wenshan.
"Whoosh!"
Li Wenshan flicked his sleeve and a hurricane was formed. However, the black gas wasn't affected by the hurricane at all. Instead, it rushed toward Li Wenshan's face at an even faster speed.
A beam of white light shot out from a mirror immortal artifact in Lang Feng's hand. However, the black gas didn't burn in the white light. It was very close to Li Wenshan's face!
Li Wenshan frowned. After using Fulgurating Shadows, when his body reappeared, he was already very close to the Thousand Corpse Old Demon's Phantom.
"Trying to mystify things!"
Li Wenshan shouted and struck a palm toward the Thousand Corpse Old Demon's Phantom.
