Chapter 1230
When the elder finished speaking, the whole place was silent.
Everyone was stunned. This was not something that could be done solely by cultivation. In the enemy's hometown, if you were discovered, you would basically be dead.
Moreover, facing an unknown enemy, who knows if the other party has any means of detection. Perhaps this trip would be a one-way trip.
The elder looked at the silent scenes and knew the danger of this action. He could not help but increase the stakes, "If you come back successfully, the leader will personally answer your questions about cultivation for a year."
After saying this, many people began to get excited, because this really did not rely on cultivation to make a living. As long as you have a concealed spell, it will be fine. Of course, you also need to be smart. A dull person is definitely not okay.
But no matter how tempted you are, the danger is too great. Some people kept weighing in their hearts whether it is worth it.
"I'll go!" A sonorous and powerful voice suddenly rose. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that a somewhat unfamiliar man stood up.
Some insiders were not surprised when they found out it was him, but others were curious and asked who this person was. Could he be a new member?
"Brother Gu, I know you are eager to save people, but don't be impulsive. What if you accidentally get into an accident? If you save your sister, won't she be sad?" Mo Xing saw this scene and hurriedly whispered below.
"You have thought it over. Once you agree, you can't regret it. If you leak something because of you, even if you escape, you will be hunted down by the Star Alliance." The elder said with a serious face.
Although he was reluctant to follow, he couldn't say it at this time.
"Yes, I have thought it over. I will never regret it." Gu Zheng said firmly, making everyone look at him with admiration.
"Isn't it just death? Besides, it's just lurking, not sabotage. Do it within your ability. The degree of danger is not as great as imagined, plus me." A very strong short man stood up and said, with a fearless expression on his face.
However, some people know how strong this person who is only in the middle stage of the celestial immortal is in terms of concealment. If he really hides, he can confuse even the golden immortals and not see any flaws. Otherwise, he would not dare to stand up as the second one.
"Ahem, you can't always forget about the younger generation in such things. Anyway, I am old. In order to eradicate this evildoer, join me." A person who was working in the front suddenly stood up. Looking at the gray-haired and old face, he looked very old, but his body was full of the aura of the peak of the celestial immortal.
"Elder Mu."
Everyone exclaimed. He is a mission of the elder level. He sits in the inner hall above all year round. He treats people very gently and has great prestige in everyone's heart. Even the leader of the alliance respects him.
"Don't worry. You should know that I also learned some concealment spells when I was young. I think it should not be a problem." Elder Mu looked at the surprised eyes around and said modestly.
Even Elder Mu went along despite the danger. Although everyone was very moved, this thing cannot be done with passion alone. Otherwise, if there is a problem, it will not only hurt yourself but also others.
More than a dozen people jumped out, but the elder only left one person. The others had no meaning except to die.
"I'm going too." At this time, a man came out from the side and shouted loudly.
The elder heard a familiar voice and looked closely. It turned out to be his son Mo Xing.
"Nonsense, is this something you can participate in? What are you doing to make trouble for me? Sit back." The elder's face turned cold and he shouted at Mo Xing.
Although cultivation is not very important, you, who has just entered the early stage of the celestial being, are like participating in such a dangerous thing. It's simply to die.
He can be regarded as a middle-aged son, and his talent is indeed very good. He is eloquent and very popular with everyone.
But if Mo Xing really has the ability, he will definitely not refuse, but if he doesn't know it himself, how can he have the ability?
"Believe me, I can do it. I am no longer the person who knows nothing." Mo Xing protested loudly, very dissatisfied with himself being always like a child in his eyes.
"I don't agree. No matter what you say, you stay at home with me and don't go anywhere." The elder glared at Mo Xing and shouted.
Most of the people who stayed behind this time were of low cultivation or not very strong in combat, so as not to suffer unnecessary casualties.
And when they are sure that they have arrived, they will recruit some scattered people here, which is all in the plan.
"Humph." Mo Xing returned to his seat angrily, his eyes kept turning, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
However, the elder didn't see him at this time. After selecting two more people, a total of six people, he asked them to follow another elder out. Next, he had other things to arrange, and their affairs were taken care of by another person.
Gu Zheng walked with the other four, and the two people in front were the two elders.
“Elder Mu, you are still in good shape this time, and you are no longer as powerful as you used to be.” The elder leading them was named Nong, and he seemed to be about the same age as Elder Mu, and they seemed to have known each other for a long time.
"I'm an old man, so it's good to be able to contribute something. Even if I die, I'll die on the battlefield. It's better than dying peacefully at home. Anyway, I don't have much time to live." Elder Mu said with a smile, not at all Put your own life and death on yourself.
"Don't die. If you die, who will you go to drink with?" The two of them said while walking towards the back.
"Don't worry, because of what you said, I will come back. When I come back, I will drink up all the wine you have collected." Elder Mu laughed and shouted.
The two people were walking and bickering.
Gu Zheng and the other six of them walked behind with their heads sullenly, walking around for an hour before they came to a small room that was all black.
"So much nagging has taken up a little of your time." Elder Mu stopped and said to Gu Zheng and the others.
Gu Zheng and the others quickly shook their heads and said it didn't matter. It didn't matter to them at this time.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Although Elder Mu also knows about this plan, I still want to explain it to you in detail." The elder first placed a transparent disk outside the room, and then said to them.
"Listen carefully, this time I ask you to lurk down and collect some intelligence, but you should not risk your lives to do so. Remember, safety comes first." Elder Nong said solemnly.
Seeing some of them nodding, he continued, "Your mission is to collect information about all important people, some suspicious locations, and the overall strength of the other party, and see if you can bribe some people for our use. , if necessary, disrupt the other party’s actions in a timely manner.”
After a slight pause, he continued: "We will set off about a month after you leave. You must enter before then, otherwise when the other party finds out and blocks the city gate, there will be no chance."
At this time, the black door behind had begun to open slowly, but Elder Nong still said seriously, "Remember the last point, never reveal your identity."
This is different. Gu Zheng and the others all know that they must be careful in everything. They must know that they are strangers there, and it is very likely that a superfluous movement will cause harm.
"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. This operation is led by Elder Mu. If anything changes, everything will follow his orders."
The elder farmer took out six brown-shaped balls from behind and closed the black iron door again.
"One for each of you, keep it carefully. Your information will be transmitted through this. There are people here to receive it, and if we have any situation, we will send it to you from here."
"He can ignore most spell shields, and at critical moments, he can self-destruct to block the enemy. The power is no less than a full-strength strike from the peak of an immortal."
Gu Zheng took the slippery brown ball and vaguely saw a black dot in the middle. He didn't know what it was made of. From the outside, he couldn't tell that the ball was so powerful.
"Okay, without further ado, if there is nothing else, you can leave quickly. I hope you all come back safely." Elder Mu finally said, and then left here.
Everyone's eyes turned to Elder Mu, and all actions were now decided by him.
"Okay, now everyone doesn't want to use your real names, so let's call them by their code names in the order they were listed." Mu Zhanglai said simply.
Although everyone here looks familiar, except for those two who know each other, no one else knows each other, and this has the advantage that if communication is needed, no one will notice anything is wrong.
Who knows if there is a file on their names there? When they are locked up inside, they will definitely be investigated.
"You will be Ye Yi." Elder Mu pointed at Gu Zheng and then pointed at himself, "I will be Ye San."
The person who happened first was called Ye Er, and the remaining two people were called Ye Four and Ye Wu respectively. It was a very simple code name, and the way they communicated was also the way of Ye Ye.
If someone is really caught, and you can't help but shake them out, it only takes a few seconds to make them unrecognizable.
There is no way. You must consider all the consequences clearly, not only for yourself, but also for everyone's safety.
Then several people, led by Elder Mu, sneaked out from a remote place without anyone noticing.
When they were far away from Kirishima, Elder Mu took out a map, spread it out in front of everyone, and ordered, "Hurry up and remember the location. Let's work in pairs and sneak in separately. If there is no need, don't do it to each other." connect."
When he was sure that everyone had remembered it, Elder Mu burned the map.
At this time, the last two people stood together spontaneously, seemingly ready to act together.
The short man came close to Gu Zheng and said, "I respect you as a man, let's work together."
Seeing that Gu Zheng had no objection, he stood directly next to Gu Zheng, as if he was joining a team, and the last one went to the enemy's lair with Elder Mu.
"Everyone, let's say goodbye first. I wish you all good luck." Ye Si saw that Elder Mu had no other instructions, so don't say goodbye directly to the other four people. He disappeared here into two rainbow lights.
"We're leaving too, little friend Gu, don't be impulsive." Mu Zhaolao said meaningfully, and then left in different directions with another person.
"Hey, Ye Yi, you have a close relationship with the elders. No wonder you were absent-minded when I saw you looking at the map before. It turns out that you already knew it." Ye Er, the short man who was the first to stand up, said to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng looked at the short man. He was the only one with a cultivation level of only the middle stage. The others were at least in the late stage. It seemed that he was really confident in himself.
"Let's go." Gu Zheng said coldly. Here he thought of Xiangxiang again. He really didn't want to say more. If the two of them were not in the same group, Gu Zheng would have wanted to act alone.
"Hey, wait for me." The short man saw Gu Zheng fly away directly after speaking, and shouted hurriedly, and at the same time, he sacrificed a flying sword under his feet, and instantly accelerated to catch up with Gu Zheng.
"Now we are together, why are you still so cold? Let me tell you, I have a very strong skill. Do you want to teach me a few tricks? I guarantee that your chances of not being discovered will increase and your survival rate will be greatly improved." Although the dwarf's body is black and his face looks a little silly, people think that he is an honest man from the bottom of his heart, but once he speaks, he is almost the same as Mo Xing.
"Do you know Mo Xing?" Gu Zheng asked with a straight face. Can't he see that he doesn't want to talk now?
"Of course, Mo Xing and I are best friends. Do you know Mo Xing too? His friends are my friends. It seems that fate really brings us together." The dwarf said with surprise.
Gu Zheng was speechless. He blocked his ears with fairy spirit and watched the other party's mouth open and close. He could no longer hear these sounds and instantly felt that the world was quiet.
It takes at least a month to travel from Kirishima to the place where the black god is worshipped. If everything goes well for the Kirishima army, it will arrive at the periphery of the other party's nest here in three months.
If the reconnaissance sent in advance is included, that means they only have a short month to sneak in. If they don't get in at that time, it means the mission has failed.
Gu Zheng's brows showed a wrinkle, because Gu Zheng remembered the mysterious woman he had seen before, who was very likely the so-called Black God.
Thinking of the fact that he had vowed not to see her before, now it's good that he is taking the initiative to go to the other party's territory this time. He must seize the opportunity. There may be only one chance, and he must bring Xiangxiang out.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng's face became firm again. In theory, he can abandon Xiangxiang and go alone. The easiest way is to go back to Zhao Gongming to ask for a piece, but if he does this, he will no longer be himself.
The essence of his coming out this time is actually to train himself and accumulate a little bit for becoming a saint. Even if the other side is a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, for Xiangxiang, Gu Zheng will go and try, even if he dies.
I can only say that this is my fate. I am actually struggling with this ray of hope. Even if I am like this again, I can only increase my hope.
The dwarf looked at Gu Zheng's changing face, and finally his face looked sacred, which made people feel a little awe in their hearts. Finally, he closed his mouth and followed Gu Zheng to the area of the mission target.
In a hall that was all black, pots of fire burned on the tops of the stone pillars on both sides, emitting a weak light that could only illuminate a little distance around. The whole hall looked gloomy and terrifying.
In this dark and cold place, on a high step, there was a man in a black robe at the top. His face could not be seen clearly. He was sitting quietly on the main seat, closing his eyes and breathing evenly. From time to time, a trace of black air came out of his body and rushed in from his nose.
"Creaky" the heavy stone door was pushed open from the outside, like a door that had been in disrepair for a long time, making a huge noise that kept echoing, especially obvious in this empty hall.
A petite figure came in from the door. After seeing the figure above, he walked straight to the bottom of the steps, knelt down respectfully and said, "Master, I have successfully completed the task."
As he spoke, he held the girl tied behind his back with his hands tilted forward and held her in the air, like a sacrificial gesture, with his forehead tightly touching the cold ground. The little girl was Xiangxiang, who had fainted.
Lianrong didn't like this place very much. Every time she felt that it was very cold here, those breaths seemed to drill into her bones. Even if she had taken precautions in her body in advance, she couldn't stop them.
As soon as the unconscious Xiangxiang came in, her body began to tremble, as if she was instinctively afraid of something.
After a while, when Lianrong felt that her hands were almost out of intuition, and even trembled slightly, a faint voice came from above.
"Thank you for your hard work, put her here."
After hearing this, Lianrong felt like she heard an imperial decree. She hurriedly and carefully put Xiangxiang on the ground, not caring whether the ground would freeze Xiangxiang. She turned around, bent over, and retreated to the side of the stone pillar.
Feeling the faint heat coming from above, Lian Rong felt better.
The black shadow above raised his hand, and Xiang Xiang's figure automatically flew in the sky. Looking at Xiang Xiang's frowning face, he seemed to have thought of something, and a layer of black and green barrier protected her, isolating some of the evil power in the hall, and he didn't even look at his loyal subordinates.
The figure looked at it carefully for a while, and said to Lian Rong in a very satisfied tone: "You did a good job this time, so I will do what I said, and your previous punishment will be forgiven."
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master." Lian Rong knelt down on the spot with great joy, and prostrated herself on the ground again, making a solemn salute.
The Master rubbed his index finger and thumb, and a green flame popped out of his hand, shooting into Lian Rong's chest with incomparable precision.
Lian Rong felt as if something in her body was broken, and she knew that the curse that the Master had cast on her before was lifted, and she finally felt relieved.
"Retreat, I will inform you if there is anything. The situation outside is so complicated now, you stay here for the time being." The Master's voice came from above again.
"Yes, Master." Lian Rong stood up from the ground, bowed respectfully again, and walked out of the door.
And the door closed again with a creaky sound when she just left.
