"You're courting death!"
Meow Meow shrieked in response to the wolf's bloody maw. She raised her small fist and punched, causing scarlet blood to fall like a waterfall.
Meow Meow's seemingly light punch not only punched a hole in the wolf's upper jaw, but also sent its body flying.
Before the wolf landed on the ground, the angry man spat out a strand of demonic energy that turned into a rope and tied it up tightly.
The wolf's cultivation was equivalent to a mid-stage Jin Xian cultivator, but the enemy it encountered was too strong. Dealing with it was as easy as dealing with a chicken.
"Awoo …"
Unable to break free of the rope, the wolf raised its head and howled.
"Shut up!"
The angry man shouted, and the rope wrapped around the wolf's body immediately extended, binding the wolf's mouth.
"Why bother?"
Gu Zheng shook his head. He pressed a hand on the wolf's head and began to search its soul.
Gu Zheng searched the wolf demon's soul not only because he wanted to know more about the Rotten Poison Swamp, but more importantly, as they approached the mud cave, the danger warning from his sixth sense became more intense. Therefore, he wanted to see if the wolf demon had enough understanding of the mud cave.
A moment later, Gu Zheng finished searching the wolf's soul.
"Master, I want its inner core!"
Under the wolf's furious gaze, the angry man licked his lips and asked for Gu Zheng's permission.
"Take it!"
If the wolf had cooperated, Gu Zheng would have spared its life, but it didn't cherish the opportunity.
Gu Zheng didn't want to get involved in karma, but the angry man wasn't afraid. With eighteen inner cores, he didn't fear karma at all.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Meow Meow couldn't help but ask when she saw Gu Zheng frown after searching the wolf's soul.
"I didn't find anything from the wolf's soul," Gu Zheng said.
"Ah? How could that be? "Meow Meow's eyes widened.
"In the wolf demon's memory, there is a demonic power seal that does not come from itself! If I want to break through this demonic seal, I have to use forceful means. But if I use forceful means, the demonic seal will immediately cause the wolf demon to lose its memories! "Gu Zheng said.
"If we can't use soul-searching to break through the seal, can't we use other methods to interrogate him?" Meow Meow asked.
"No. If I could, I wouldn't have given it to Angry Man. With the existence of the demonic power seal, the wolf demon can't say anything in the face of our inquiry. "Gu Zheng shook his head.
"Who could have placed this demonic power seal on the wolf demon? Is it something from the mud cave? "Meow Meow asked.
"It's possible! Let's get on our way. Let's see if we can encounter any demons that are suitable for soul-searching. We'll decide what to do when the time comes! "Gu Zheng said.
Half a day later, Gu Zheng brought Meow Meow and the angry man to the mud cave.
During this half a day, Gu Zheng searched the souls of two demons that were heading in the direction of the mud cave, but the results were the same as what he had done with the wolf demon.
"Junior Brother Gu Zheng!"
There were three other people in the air above the mud cave. They were Dao Xinzi, Laozi's Tribulation Stage disciple, and the two disciples that Laozi had taken in after the first Chaos Tribulation, Immortal Chu Chen and Venerable Black Yellow.
The one who greeted Gu Zheng was Dao Xinzi. He had a simple conversation with Gu Zheng at the Heavenly Court's gathering. At this moment, he was flying toward Gu Zheng with a kind smile on his face.
"Senior Brother Dao Xinzi!" Gu Zheng bowed to Dao Xinzi.
Gu Zheng was vigilant toward the Tribulation Stage disciples of the Sage Immortals. After all, they were of the same status and had the same goals.
After a simple greeting, Dao Xinzi asked, "Junior Brother, are you going to explore the mud cave?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking!"
Gu Zheng paused and then said, "Senior Brother, you came here earlier than us. Why didn't you enter it before us?"
"I haven't decided whether to enter it or not, but I met you. So I want to go with you!" Dao Xinzi smiled.
"Consider? What's so special about the mud cave that you need to consider it? "
Dao Xinzi was at the Sage-to-be Early Stage, while Immortal Chu Chen and Venerable Black Yellow were at the Sage-to-be Late Stage and the Sage-to-be Middle Stage respectively. Gu Zheng felt that things were getting more and more complicated.
"Of course the mud cave is special. If Junior Brother is willing to go with us, we can talk about it later!" Venerable Black Yellow, who had a goatee and looked like a middle-aged Taoist, said with a smile.
Initially, Gu Zheng wanted to get some information out of Honoured Black Yellow. However, since Honoured Black Yellow said so, Gu Zheng said, "Forget it. I'm used to being alone. I'm not used to being with others. I hope you can forgive me!"
After hearing Gu Zheng's words, Dao Xinzi looked regretful. Venerable Black Yellow was still smiling, but Immortal Chu Chen flung his sleeves and flew to the side.
"Since Junior Brother doesn't want to go with us, I won't force you. When we have time, we must get together!"
After saying that, Dao Xinzi also flew to Immortal Chu Chen, but his voice sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"Junior Brother, did you search the souls of the monsters on the way?" Dao Xinzi asked.
"Yes, but I didn't find anything." Gu Zheng replied.
"Junior Brother, the mud cave is a demon cave! 3,000 years ago, a Big Goblin appeared in the cave and ruled the periphery of the Poisonous Swamp. All the monsters in the periphery of the Poisonous Swamp have to come to the cave every five years to accept its favor. "Dao Xinzi said.
"Senior Brother, how did you know about this?" Gu Zheng asked.
"I have a special Divine Ability that can barely break the seal of the Demonic Power in the monster's brain. Therefore, I searched the souls of some monsters and got some information. However, it's just some information, not everything. The Demonic Power that sealed the monsters' memories will soon counterattack, so those monsters that I searched their souls have lost their memories. "Dao Xinzi smiled bitterly.
Dao Xinzi's words made Gu Zheng frown. There was too much information in a short sentence. However, it was not convenient for Gu Zheng to ask about it. After all, he did not plan to go with Dao Xinzi and the others. It would not be good to ask more.
"Senior Brother, thank you for your reminder. Although we don't go together, if we meet in the mud cave, we should take care of each other." Gu Zheng said.
"Junior Brother, don't worry. Of course." Dao Xinzi smiled.
"Mister, what's the matter?" Meow Meow asked after sensing that Dao Xinzi and Gu Zheng had finished their conversation.
"Dao Xin Zi just told me some things about the mud cave."
Gu Zheng told Meow Meow what Dao Xinzi had said.
"Dao Xinzi sent a voice transmission to Mister, and his two Senior Brothers must know about it. Immortal Chu Chen had already expressed his dissatisfaction with Mister, and he sent a voice transmission to Mister again. Isn't he afraid that his Senior Brothers will be displeased? Mister, do you think he's telling the truth? "Meow Meow asked.
"On the surface, Dao Xinzi wants to be friends with me. However, I won't take his actions too seriously as we're both disciples of the Divine Immortal Stage. As for whether I think he's telling the truth, I don't think he needs to lie! "Gu Zheng said.
"Mister, are we still going to enter the mud cave?" Meow Meow asked.
"Meow Meow, in fact, after I decided to explore the mud cave, my Sixth Sense had a premonition that I'm approaching danger. When I saw Dao Xinzi and the others stop outside the mud cave, I didn't want to enter the mud cave anymore. I don't think the opportunity mentioned by the Tao Ancestor can be found so easily! A mud cave that made me feel danger and made Dao Xinzi and the others want to explore it together. There's no absolute reason. We don't want to take the risk! "
Gu Zheng paused for a moment before he continued, "However, when Dao Xin Zi was communicating with me via voice transmission, the angry man told me excitedly that he felt that there was something in the mud cave that was attracting him!"
If there wasn't a special reason, cultivators would choose to avoid danger when facing the warning of their Sixth Sense. Danger was danger. Not all dangers had opportunities waiting behind them. Most of the dangers were accompanied by losses or death.
Meow Meow knew Gu Zheng well. Since the angry man said something in the mud cave was attracting him, Gu Zheng would definitely choose to enter it no matter how dangerous it was.
"Mister, why don't we let them take the lead?" Meow Meow said.
"It's getting more and more lively!"
Gu Zheng didn't answer the question and smiled in a direction.
After a while, the disciples of Tongtian, Immortal Wuchang and Purple Eye Fairy, flew over with their disciple, Fairy Linglong.
"It's not simple this time! I thought I would run into someone from the Buddhist sects, but I didn't expect to run into someone from the Buddhist sects. Instead, I ended up running into someone from Laozi and Skyreach. Among their disciples, there's even a Tribulation Transcending Disciple with a very special status! "
When the disciples of Tongtian arrived, it was inevitable for them to greet each other and exchange greetings.
"What are you all doing here? Are you waiting for us? "Purple Eye Fairy said with a smile.
"This mud cave is very unusual. We wanted to explore it, but we didn't want anything to happen. Just as we were hesitating, our junior brothers and sisters came over." Reverend Black Yellow said with a smile.
"So, Senior Brother Black Yellow has already teamed up with Junior Brother Gu Zheng and the others?" Immortal Wuchang asked.
"No, Junior Brother Gu Zheng and the others don't want to be partners. I want to ask Junior Brother Wuchang, are you willing to be partners?" Reverend Black Yellow said.
Instead of answering Reverend Black Yellow, Immortal Wuchang asked Gu Zheng, "Junior Brother, don't you want to be partners?"
"Not at all!" Gu Zheng said.
Immortal Wuchang nodded and looked at Reverend Black Yellow. "Since Junior Brother Gu Zheng doesn't want to be partners, we don't want to be partners either."
Gu Zheng frowned. "Senior Brother Wuchang, you don't have to consider me if you want to be partners with Senior Brother Black Yellow and the others, right?"
"Of course we have to consider Junior Brother. After all, Junior Brother is such a powerful person."
Immortal Wuchang smiled. He had not forgotten what happened on the Star Ruins Mountain.
"Senior Brother is really a person who can't let go!"
Gu Zheng smiled as well. Murderous intent rose in his heart. He hoped that Immortal Wuchang would not seek death. Otherwise, he would definitely help this cute Senior Brother.
"Hmph! All of you are so arrogant. How annoying! "
Immortal Wuchang sneered and then called out to his two Junior Brothers. "Come over here. There's no point in talking anymore!"
Reverend Black Yellow and Dao Xinzi looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They then came to Immortal Wuchang's side and sat down with their eyes closed.
Fairy Linglong came to Gu Zheng's side. She flipped her hair and said flirtatiously, "Junior Brother, there's nothing wrong with exploring the mud cave together. Why don't we do it together?"
"Senior Sister, do you know anything about the mud cave? Why do you want to explore the mud cave together? "
Gu Zheng felt that Fairy Linglong's side should have some understanding of the mud cave. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to not be curious about the mud cave. This made him want to try asking Fairy Linglong to see if he could get some information.
"We've just arrived. How much can we know about the mud cave? However, we only need to know that Senior Brother Wuchang and the others want to explore the mud cave together. This is enough to show that the mud cave is unusual and the conditions that must be met in order to be safe. "
Fairy Linglong's beautiful eyes sparkled and her words were watertight. This made Gu Zheng, who was just trying to test her, immediately return to the topic. "Senior Sister, what you said is very reasonable. However, I don't want to go with you. I'm really sorry!"
"Junior Brother, don't you want to think about it?" Fairy Linglong looked at Gu Zheng pitifully.
Gu Zheng frowned. He did not think that he was charming enough to make Fairy Linglong, who was in the middle stage of the Sage-to-be Realm, act like this. However, Fairy Linglong's reaction made him feel strange.
"I'm sorry, Senior Sister."
Gu Zheng cupped his fists at Fairy Linglong and then descended into the mud cave with Meow Meow and the angry man.
"Master, don't we need them to take the lead?" Meow Meow asked through voice transmission.
"We want them to take the lead and they want us to take the lead. Someone has to go in first," Gu Zheng said through voice transmission.
Although it was called a mud cave, the huge cave that exposed the swamp was actually a metal entrance that was covered in mud.
Finding nothing unusual at the entrance, Gu Zheng entered with Meow Meow and the angry man.
The entrance was connected to a slanted downward passage. The passage was very wide and there was nothing special in the surroundings. Only the walls of the cave made of unknown metal were emitting a faint light.
After walking forward for a while, they did not see any monsters in front of them or Dao Xinzi and the others behind them. Gu Zheng stopped and waved his hand in the air, using the Mysterious Heaven Eighteen Transformations to change the appearances of the three people.
Gu Zheng turned into the wolf monster they had encountered before, while Meow Meow and the angry man turned into the other two monsters they had encountered on the way. One looked like a leopard and the other looked like a python.
As a high-level transformation technique, the Mysterious Heaven Eighteen Transformations could only be seen through by Sage Immortals. A Quasi-Sage would find it extremely difficult to see through them. This was also why Gu Zheng dared to take the lead.
After turning into three monsters, Gu Zheng and the other two swaggered into the depths of the passage.
At the same time.
Outside the mud cave, the purple light in Purple Eye Immortal's eyes faded.
"Senior Brother, how is it?" Fairy Linglong asked through voice transmission.
"No wonder Gu Zheng took the lead. So that kid has mastered a high-level transformation technique. They have all turned into monsters," Purple Eye Immortal replied through voice transmission.
"So what if he has a high-level transformation technique? He still fell for my trick! "Fairy Linglong sneered.
"Oh? Junior Sister, what do you mean? "
Whether it was Purple Eye Immortal or Fairy Linglong, they were all transmitting their words to the three of them. Naturally, Venerable Wuchang could hear them.
"When I was talking to Gu Zheng just now, I planted the pollen on the little demon's head onto his subordinate's body without leaving a trace. Little Goblin is now in the mud cave. When Gu Zheng and the others get close, the crazy Big Goblin and Little Goblin will definitely teach them a lesson! "
In fact, Fairy Linglong and the others had arrived outside the mud cave earlier than Dao Xin Zi and the others. Thus, they knew more about the mud cave than Dao Xin Zi and the others. It was also because of this that Fairy Linglong and the others didn't enter rashly! However, Fairy Linglong and the others didn't expect that Dao Xin Zi and the others would come here in less than half a day after they left.
"Junior Sister actually schemed against Gu Zheng!" Venerable Wuchang muttered.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother? Are you afraid of Gu Zheng?" Fairy Linglong smiled.
"You all know what happened on the Star Ruins Mountain. Gu Zheng's powerful servant didn't follow him this time, but who knows, she might be hiding in the dark! If she finds out that you schemed against Gu Zheng, I'm afraid it's hard to say what will happen! "
Back then on Star Ruins Mountain, Die Ling's valiant posture of warning with the Darkmoon Dagger was still deeply imprinted in Venerable Wuchang's mind.
"Senior Brother, you worry too much. If that servant of his is hiding in the dark, I'm afraid she will expose me before Gu Zheng enters the mud cave!" Fairy Linglong said nonchalantly.
"Senior Brother, what do you think we should do now?" Venerable Wuchang asked Purple Eye Immortal.
"Since we can see what's going on in the mud cave, let them do what they want! If we can leave this place once, we can leave it a second time. "
Purple Eye Immortal smiled at Venerable Wuchang and Fairy Linglong, then looked at Venerable Chu Chen and the others. "Senior Brother, Junior Brother, this mud cave seems to be extremely dangerous. We won't get involved in this mess. Goodbye!"
Venerable Chu Chen, who looked like an old man, sneered as he watched Purple Eye Immortal and the others disappear.
"Senior Brother, what should we do now?" Dao Xinzi asked.
"This time, Master asked us to bring you to the Poisonous Swamp to travel. He also told us not to make an enemy out of Gu Zheng! Therefore, I believe that if the fabled opportunity was really found by someone this time, it might have something to do with Gu Zheng. After all, this kid's luck is really deep! " Since they have entered the mud cave, let's go in too. Be careful! "Venerable Chu Chen said.
At the same time, the slope of the mud cave became flat. In the tunnel that extended forward, two demons appeared.
"Mister, don't you think it's strange? The demons in this demon cave don't care about cultivators at all, right? It's one thing for the mud cave to open, but we've been in here for so long and not only have we not been interrogated, but the two demons in front of us don't look like guards either! "
Meow Meow was right. It wasn't easy to see these two demons, and they didn't look like guards at all! The two demons, one male and one female, were half-transformed. They were shamelessly tangling with each other on the ground.
"They put a demon seal in the demons' minds, but the demon cave doesn't guard against cultivators at all. This is the most unusual part!" Gu Zheng murmured.
