Silently, a monster in the corner approached Gu Zheng. It looked a bit like an antelope, and its entire body was suffused with a metallic luster. It had a mouthful of extremely sharp teeth.
"Its strength is equivalent to Daluo Jinxian's realm."
By the time the weapon spirit told Gu Zheng the monster's information, it had already disappeared into thin air. Using teleportation, it appeared behind Gu Zheng and stabbed its two sharp horns at Gu Zheng's back.
"Idiot!"
Gu Zheng cursed. Although this monster was strong, it still couldn't escape the category of wild beasts. It attacked as soon as it saw someone enter. It was truly fearless.
Dragging his body to the side, Gu Zheng dodged the Goat Monster's sneak attack while simultaneously grabbing its horns with both hands.
The monster's reaction was also lightning fast. It wanted to use teleportation to evade Gu Zheng's hands, but Gu Zheng had already sealed the space around it and Gu Zheng had its horns in his hands.
"Bang …"
With a loud bang, the monster was thrown to the ground by Gu Zheng.
Before the Faun could get up, Gu Zheng kicked it in the stomach.
"Meh!"
The monster cried out in pain. Its body slid rapidly on the slippery ice and didn't stop until it reached the other monster in the corner.
Although it was a toss and a kick, Gu Zheng wasn't sure if the immortal camp had any special use for keeping the sheep monster alive. Therefore, he only heavily injured the sheep monster. As for kicking the Faun in front of another monster in the corner, that was because the monster had killing intent towards Gu Zheng, and he had already sensed it.
The other monster in the corner was in human form. It had a pair of huge hands and no nose or mouth.
After Gu Zheng kicked the Faun to its side, it glanced at the Faun that was struggling to get up. It raised its giant hand and slammed it down, shooting out several streams of black mist from its fingertips. After the Faun's body was pierced, it began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Do you want to die?"
Gu Zheng frowned as he looked at the Giant Palm Monster flying towards him. He had only kicked the Faun over to make an example out of it.
Gu Zheng's Spiritual Sense Transmission was naturally understood by the Giant Palm Monster. Its body paused for a moment, but it still flew towards Gu Zheng.
"Since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish!" Gu Zheng took out Tang Mo.
"His strength is equivalent to Daluo Jinxian's realm." The Artifact Spirit's voice sounded again.
"I'm afraid you're going to make a mistake this time!"
Gu Zheng smiled at the Artefact Spirit. From the moment he sensed the killing intent of this Giant Palm Monster, he knew that this Giant Palm Monster was not simple.
The weapon spirit does not quarrel with Gu Zheng. It can be seen from the fact that she does not directly report the specific realm like she did with the monsters of the Untainted Land. She leaves some room for uncertainty in the result of the investigation. However, even if the investigation is not accurate this time, the Artifact Spirit is still very impressive. At least, Gu Zheng does not have the same investigation ability as her when it comes to such a monster outside the circle.
The Giant Palm Monster attacked Gu Zheng first. Its two huge palms pushed forward, and two palm-shaped phantoms flew towards Gu Zheng. At the same time, a dizzying feeling arose in Gu Zheng's mind.
The Calming Spell automatically operated, and the bad feeling was removed. Gu Zheng slashed at the incoming phantoms with his saber.
After the blade that contained the Five Elements Transformation hit the palm-shaped shadow, it successfully split the palm-shaped shadow in half. However, strangely enough, the palm-shaped shadow did not dissipate. Even the flame attached to the blade wind could not stay on the palm-shaped shadow that was split open.
There were many abnormal monsters outside the circle, and Gu Zheng was already somewhat numb to this situation. He flicked his sleeve, and a storm appeared out of nowhere and rolled towards the phantoms.
The Saber Qi was useless against the palm-shaped shadow, but the storm swept the palm-shaped shadow away. However, the Giant Palm Monster attacked Gu Zheng again in an unexpected way. When it pushed its palms towards Gu Zheng, its two huge palms were also sent out.
The palms that left the Giant Palm Monster's body were not dead objects. They avoided Gu Zheng's saber wind at an extremely fast speed and grabbed at Gu Zheng from a very tricky angle.
The huge palms changed quickly, but Gu Zheng's reaction was not slow either. He accurately hit the two huge palms near him with the curved saber Qi that Tang Mo had sent out.
Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal colliding was heard. One of the two huge palms was sent flying by Gu Zheng, while the other one shot out a black gas from its fingertip. It ignored Gu Zheng's saber Qi and hit Gu Zheng's body.
The Yin-Yang Immortal Ball in his body circulated, and the black gas that pierced Gu Zheng's body did not cause any harm to Gu Zheng. However, the absorption of the black gas by the Yin-Yang Immortal Ball allowed Gu Zheng to see the uniqueness of the black gas. It was a kind of dark energy that was very difficult to use. It contained strong toxins and corrosive characteristics. It was not cost-effective to convert it for use. He could only wait until it calmed down before forcing it out of his body.
After seeing the characteristics of the black gas, Gu Zheng naturally would not let it hit him again. During this time, the Giant Palm Monster had grown a new pair of palms. It pushed its palms at Gu Zheng again, and the new palms left its body and flew towards Gu Zheng.
However, the two palms that had attacked Gu Zheng before did not dare to attack Gu Zheng rashly. Tang Mo's sharpness had already injured them. If they were hit by Tang Mo again, they would be crippled.
Gu Zheng was not afraid of the Giant Palm Monster. The Giant Palm Monster's attacking method was rather peculiar. Gu Zheng intended to use it as a practice. He did not take the initiative to attack it. Instead, he symbolically dealt with the attacks of its palms to see how many palms it could produce.
The Giant Palm Monster did not produce as many palms as Gu Zheng had imagined. When there were as many as ten pairs of palms in the air, the Giant Palm Monster stopped splitting its palms and began to attack Gu Zheng crazily.
After fighting with it, Gu Zheng understood that the Giant Palm Monster's strength was equivalent to the Early Stage of Sage-to-be. However, this kind of strength was not enough in Gu Zheng's eyes. If not for Gu Zheng's practice, he would have already killed it.
At this moment, Gu Zheng was practicing his moves in the ice prison. The disciple of Woodfern Demon Venerable, Venerable Blood Shadow, was watching Gu Zheng's performance outside the ice prison.
These people in the Immortal Barracks had basically been in the Immortal Barracks for more than 100 years. They knew about Gu Zheng's existence and some things about Gu Zheng. However, almost all of them saw Gu Zheng for the first time.
Venerable Blood Shadow's duty in the Immortal Barracks was to guard the ice prison. Before Gu Zheng was thrown into the ice prison, he already knew that Gu Zheng would appear here. The reason why he knew in advance was because of Ah Nilu's careful plan! After Ah Nilu told Incongruence Divine Mother that he could not escape, he immediately transmitted a message to Venerable Blood Shadow, telling him that Gu Zheng was about to be thrown into the ice prison.
Ah Nilu knew that Venerable Blood Demon Venerable was killed by Gu Zheng on Star Ruins Mountain. He also knew that Woodfern Demon Venerable had taught Gu Zheng a lesson in Eight Visions Palace. Therefore, he told Venerable Blood Shadow that Gu Zheng would be thrown into the ice prison, hoping that Venerable Blood Shadow would be impulsive.
If Ah Nilu had told him in advance two days ago, Venerable Blood Shadow would have been impulsive indeed! Some things, no matter how powerful others said they were, would not be convinced unless they saw it with their own eyes. Venerable Blood Shadow was such a person! If Gu Zheng had been in the ice prison at that time, Venerable Blood Shadow would have tried to kill him. After all, this was one of the Four Perilous Places in Untainted Land. Even Holy Immortals could not interfere with what happened here. Therefore, killing Gu Zheng would help his master vent his anger. However, Woodfern Demon Venerable had already told Venerable Blood Shadow that Cold Wind Venerable had been killed by Gu Zheng the day before.
As Venerable Han Feng's martial nephew, Venerable Blood Shadow knew very well what kind of strength Venerable Han Feng possessed. Even though he was filled with hatred and dissatisfaction towards Gu Zheng, when he learned that his martial uncle had been killed by Gu Zheng and that his master had deliberately told him about this matter, his hatred towards Gu Zheng had dropped to 20%, even though it was still 100%.
Anyway, Venerable Blood Shadow was really a little scared. Otherwise, he would not have been watching Gu Zheng's performance until now.
"Why are you just watching here?"
Xuanyang Fairy had already arrived outside the ice prison. She was somewhat disappointed with Venerable Blood Shadow who was still watching.
Xuanyang Fairy also knew that the person in the ice prison was Gu Zheng because Ah Nilu had told her in advance.
However, Xuanyang Fairy was different from Venerable Blood Shadow. She had already learned from Emperor NvWa that Gu Zheng would fight to the death with her disciples. Therefore, she wanted Gu Zheng to die.
Ah Nilu also wanted Gu Zheng to die. However, he was too cunning. He did not show his hatred for Gu Zheng completely. If he did, the three of them would very likely join hands to deal with Gu Zheng. However, outsiders did not know about the hatred between the three forces and Gu Zheng. In addition, they all had their own thoughts. Under the unfavorable situation of Gu Zheng being trapped in the ice prison, the three forces did not cooperate.
Xuanyang Fairy was naturally a very proud person. However, she did not think that she could deal with Gu Zheng alone. Therefore, she hoped that Venerable Blood Shadow would have already started fighting with Gu Zheng when she arrived at the ice prison. If that was the case, Xuanyang Fairy would have joined without hesitation. However, that was not the case. Xuanyang Fairy was disappointed and could not help but feel a little hesitant.
Although Emperor NvWa had told Fairy Xuanyang that Gu Zheng would fight them to the death, Emperor NvWa also told Fairy Xuanyang that she was guarding the Black Hole. As long as she did not provoke Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng would not kill her regardless of the overall situation, given that she had a duty.
"Not just watch. What do you want me to do?"
Venerable Blood Shadow looked at Xuanyang Fairy. His sharp eyes seemed to be looking into her heart.
Seeing that Xuanyang Fairy did not say anything, Venerable Blood Shadow asked again, "You seem to know who is inside. Did Ah Nilu tell you?"
"That's right. He told me!" Xuanyang Fairy said.
"This darn baldy is very smart. We are not the only ones who have a grudge against him."
Venerable Blood Shadow smiled contemptuously. He did not know that Gu Zheng would fight to the death with Emperor NvWa's disciple. Otherwise, he would not have said that.
Xuanyang Fairy's heart skipped a beat. Venerable Blood Shadow had said 'grudge' instead of 'hate'. This was a very subtle message.
Xuanyang Fairy secretly gritted her teeth and said, "This is the Fallen Ice Snowfield. If something happens to a Saint Immortal's disciple here, he can only blame it on his bad luck."
Venerable Blood Shadow frowned, and a devilish smile appeared on his handsome face. "Anyway, we don't know who is trapped here. If you have any ideas, then let's give it a try!"
"Give it a try?" Xuanyang Fairy's eyes lit up.
"Of course. Fairy, please?"
Venerable Blood Shadow gestured. Xuanyang Fairy raised her eyebrows and jumped into the ice prison.
Seeing Xuanyang Fairy enter, a trace of hesitation flashed in Venerable Blood Shadow's eyes. But in the end, it was replaced by dissatisfaction.
There were all kinds of restrictions in the ice prison. There was no need to mention how powerful they were. Therefore, Gu Zheng did not know what had just happened outside the ice prison.
However, when Xuanyang Fairy appeared in the ice prison, Gu Zheng no longer held back and used the 'Mad Demon Blade' to heavily injure the Giant Palm Monster, reducing the disadvantage of the environment to him.
This was Gu Zheng's first time seeing Xuanyang Fairy and Venerable Blood Shadow, but he already knew about them.
Gu Zheng was very calm when he saw Xuanyang Fairy. He knew that Emperor NvWa's disciple was in the immortal camp. He also did not forget the oath he made in the poisonous swamp. However, this was the immortal camp after all. Xuanyang Fairy was guarding the black hole that led to the outside world. As long as she did not look for trouble, Gu Zheng did not want to attack her in the immortal camp.
"What are the two of you sizing me up?"
Gu Zheng frowned as he looked at Venerable Blood Shadow and Xuanyang Fairy, who were sizing him up.
"Gu Zheng?" Xuanyang Fairy asked.
"That's right," Gu Zheng said.
"Proof?" Venerable Blood Shadow asked.
Gu Zheng threw the token that Gokusen gave him to Venerable Blood Shadow.
Venerable Blood Shadow looked at the token and shook his head. "However, this does not prove that you are Gu Zheng. Recently, the black hole has not been peaceful. Some monsters from outside the circle have escaped to the Snowfield of Meteoric Ice. They are very good at transformation and possession."
"What do you want?"
Gu Zheng's face turned cold. According to Venerable Blood Shadow, he had no way to prove his identity. Even if he showed his cooking skills, Venerable Blood Shadow could say that he was possessed.
"Very simple. Soul search!" Xuanyang Fairy's heartbeat sped up.
Gu Zheng laughed. He looked at Xuanyang Fairy and sneered. His gaze made Xuanyang Fairy's hair stand.
"Arrogant! Let me see what kind of monster you are!"
Xuanyang Fairy shouted. She waved the longsword in her hand, and sharp sword energy continuously slashed towards Gu Zheng.
At the same time, the bronze bell floating behind her vibrated. Gu Zheng felt as if thunder had struck his head. Even with the Mind Calming Spell, his mind was still a little dazed.
The Five Elements Immortal Ball in his body vibrated, and five-colored light shone out of his body. Gu Zheng used the Five Elements Shield to resist the sound wave attack from Xuanyang Fairy's bronze bell. At the same time, he used the Spatial Seal.
Affected by the Spatial Seal, the sword energy and the bronze bell floating behind Xuanyang Fairy all fell. Even Venerable Blood Shadow, who wanted to use teleportation to sneak attack Gu Zheng, was forced out and appeared not far from Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng lifted Tang Mo and slashed, and a black saber light hit Venerable Blood Shadow. However, Gu Zheng's saber light did not hit Venerable Blood Shadow's body, but a blood shadow left behind by Venerable Blood Shadow! After the blood shadow was hit by the saber light, there was an explosion. Dense blood light broke through Gu Zheng's Spatial Seal and attacked him like a tsunami.
Gu Zheng frowned. While he teleported to avoid the blood wave, Venerable Blood Shadow's body appeared where he was just now. The two scimitars in his hands were covered with mysterious symbols, and they flashed with an extremely demonic luster.
"Everyone, stop!"
A female voice suddenly sounded. Fairy Xiyan, the disciple of Heavenly Dance Sage, also appeared in the ice prison.
"Everyone, what's going on?"
Fairy Xiyan frowned as she looked at the three people who stopped fighting.
Xuanyang Fairy said, "He refused to soul search!"
Fairy Xiyan looked at Xuanyang Fairy for a moment, and then said, "Senior Sister, do we still have to fight?"
"Since Junior Sister Xiyan has appeared here, Senior Brother Taiyi must have returned as well. Naturally, we don't need to soul search to verify his authenticity."
Hearing Xuanyang Fairy's words, Fairy Xiyan looked at Gu Zheng again. "Junior Brother Gu?"
Gu Zheng was on good terms with the Heavenly Dance Sect. He bowed to Fairy Xiyan and said, "Greetings, Senior Sister Xiyan."
Fairy Xiyan nodded and said, "Today is different from the past. Some of the more powerful demons came out of the black hole a while ago. Some of them are skilled in the Dao of Transformation, while others are skilled in possession. There was a precedent of demons possessing the guards of the immortal encampment. Today, Junior Brother Gu is here, and Senior Brother Taiyi is not here. Senior Sister Xuanyang and Senior Brother Blood Shadow want to use soul search to confirm Junior Brother's identity. This is also a reason. "
Gu Zheng did not expect such a thing to happen in the immortal encampment. However, no matter what the truth was, he could already see that Xuanyang Fairy and Venerable Blood Shadow were not friendly. However, Gu Zheng had conflicts with both of them after all. It was not surprising that such a situation would occur. There were some things that he was not prepared to say. It was fine as long as he knew it in his heart.
"Since Senior Brother Taiyi has a way to verify the authenticity, I'll have to trouble Senior Sister to lead the way. The real cannot be fake, and the fake cannot be real!" Gu Zheng said.
Without saying anything more, Gu Zheng followed Fairy Xiyan and the others out of the ice prison and flew towards a certain place in the immortal encampment.
Gu Zheng was naturally very curious about some things in the immortal encampment. However, he did not want to ask too much before his identity was verified. Anyway, he would soon meet Taiyi Zhenren. It would not be too late to ask after his identity was verified.
Taiyi Zhenren, who was dressed in a Daoist robe and had white hair and a sage-like demeanor, looked at Xuanyang Fairy and Venerable Blood Shadow with a faint smile after hearing Fairy Xiyan's words.
"Senior Brother Taiyi, why are you looking at us like that?"
Xuanyang Fairy was unhappy, but she still wore a calm smile on her face. Previously, when Xiyan Fairy stared at her in the ice prison, she was already unhappy. However, at least Xiyan Fairy's gaze was more reserved at that time. Now, Taiyi Zhenren's faint smile was very playful.
"I'm wondering why Junior Sister and Junior Brother were so anxious that you couldn't wait for me to come back."
Taiyi Zhenren laughed heartily, as if his faint smile was not playful at all.
"There's no reason. I'm just unhappy recently, and he happened to not cooperate," Xuanyang Fairy said.
Taiyi Zhenren nodded, then looked at Gu Zheng and said, "The demons outside the circle are indeed strange. Other than me, the only way to verify their authenticity is to search their soul. Junior Brother Gu, whether you are real or fake, I'll know with my Demon-revealing Mirror! "
"Senior Brother Taiyi, please," Gu Zheng said.
The Demon-revealing Mirror was not a very powerful Immortal Artifact in the Investiture of the Gods Era. However, after it went through the first Chaos Tribulation and received the blessings of the Heavens and Earth, it was much more powerful than before.
Taiyi Zhenren took out the Demon-revealing Mirror. The light emitted from the mirror was so bright that Gu Zheng could not open his eyes. However, it was real. In the end, the portrait in the Demon-revealing Mirror was still Gu Zheng's appearance. There was no change at all.
