Chapter 696 Playing Tricks
"I have tried, but it was fruitless and one of my fellow Taoists 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 were with him, there was also a part with Huangqi and Yang Jue. Even if he was willing to return his part to the Tianxuan Sect, the people of the Tianxuan Sect would most likely not let it go. In that case, he might as well just deny it! It would be difficult to ask him to spit out the resources he had already obtained!
"Is that really the case?"
Li Wenshan looked at Gu Zheng, and his unfriendly eyes turned cold.
"Yes, that's right."
Gu Zheng paused, and then said: "The reason I came here is because I saw fellow Taoist Zhang here. Although he left without saying goodbye, we have cooperated before. I think it's better to come and talk about what happened in the valley later, so as to avoid any misunderstandings."
"Boy, if you really didn't take those storage belts, would you dare to let me search your soul?" Li Wenshan said.
Gu Zheng's eyes, which had been calm all the time, flashed with coldness. He looked directly into Li Wenshan's eyes and said, "Are you kidding me?"
"Do you think I'm kidding you?" Li Wenshan said word by word.
"I think you're kidding me because what you said is funny!" Gu Zheng sneered.
"You're looking for death!"
"No!"
Li Wenshan's eyebrows just raised, Lang Feng stopped him.
Although Lang Feng stopped Li Wenshan from taking action, Li Wenshan still dispatched the energy of heaven and earth to oppress Gu Zheng.
The oppression of the energy of heaven and earth made Gu Zheng very uncomfortable. If he was an ordinary Daluo Jinxian early stage cultivator, facing the oppression of the energy of heaven and earth in the late stage of Daluo Jinxian, I'm afraid his legs would have trembled, or even become more unbearable.
However, although Gu Zheng's legs did not tremble, his face was already red. After all, the other party was also a Daluo Jinxian late stage cultivator!
If he let go of his means to fight, Gu Zheng was not afraid of Li Wenshan, but the gap in realm was also a fact! This situation is like Gu Zheng is a child holding a knife, and Li Wenshan is an unarmed adult. Although Gu Zheng may kill him, if we only talk about strength, he is not as strong as Li Wenshan.
"Don't take it back, don't blame me for being rude!"
Unless it is really necessary, Gu Zheng does not want to face so many enemies at the same time, but in other words, he is ready to fight at any time.
"Nonsense!"
With Lang Feng's shout, the pressure formed by Li Wenshan's energy of heaven and earth was resolved, and Gu Zheng's body also became lighter.
"Don't blame me, my friend. Wenshan is Qingqiu's grandfather. Please forgive me."
As a Daluo Jinxian in the late stage, Lang Feng can say such words, and his attitude is very low.
"Li Qingqiu didn't die because of you, so don't take it out on me. What happened just now is fine, but if you are rude to me again, I will also be rude!"
Gu Zheng did not feel grateful for Lang Feng's good talk. He looked at Li Wenshan with eyes as cold as ice.
Li Wenshan wanted to say something, but Lang Feng stopped him.
"You are so young, but you have such courage and cultivation. It is really precious. If you really don't have the storage belts that Qingqiu and others have, then please engrave what happened in the valley for me to see."
Although Lang Feng was reasonable, he didn't really believe what Gu Zheng said before, especially Li Wenshan's pressure on Gu Zheng's energy just now had made him realize that Gu Zheng's true strength was much higher than Zhang Nanfeng's description. After all, in Zhang Nanfeng's description, Gu Zheng's cultivation was only the late Golden Immortal, but Gu Zheng's performance just now was not much worse than that of the middle stage of the Golden Immortal. Although such a cultivation may not be able to kill the corpse tree, it should not be difficult to take away a few storage belts.
"It's human nature to have doubts. Just say what you want. As long as it's not excessive, it's fine."
Gu Zheng smiled sarcastically at Li Wenshan, then took out a jade slip, engraved what happened in the valley with his mind, and handed it to Lang Feng.
The mind engraving can hide or change some things that originally happened, but if the complete things are hidden or changed, there will be some clues. As for whether it will be seen by others, it depends on the ability of the person who tampered and the ability of the person who watched.
The mind engraving that Gu Zheng gave to Lang Feng was naturally a tampered engraving. As for whether it could be concealed from Li Wenshan, he was not worried at all! After all, the magical power of "fabrication" can even deceive himself, let alone deceive an outsider.
After reading the jade slip, Lang Feng sighed, then handed the jade slip to Li Wenshan and passed it around.
"For what happened just now, I hope that Mr. Bai will not take it to heart."
Lang Feng smiled at Gu Zheng, and then said: "The Skeleton Palace is full of dangers. I wonder if Mr. Bai is willing to cooperate with us. Let's go to the core of the treasure together?"
"I appreciate Mr. Lang's kindness. I already have someone to cooperate with. If there is nothing else, we will leave now!" Gu Zheng clasped his fists.
"Okay, since Mr. Bai already has someone to cooperate with, then forget it, and go!" Lang Feng clasped his fists in return.
"Huh..."
After leaving Zhen Palace, the white-clothed demon cultivator couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng said.
"What do you think?"
The white-clothed demon cultivator glanced at Gu Zheng, and then said with a faint smile: "Anyway, you are really brave. There was no conflict just now. If there is a conflict, how do you plan to resolve it?"
Looking at the scrutinizing eyes of the white-clothed demon cultivator, Gu Zheng said calmly: "Didn't nothing happen?"
"Okay, pretend I didn't say that!"
The demon cultivator in white shrugged his shoulders: "Going to Zhen Palace with you is a test of our cooperation, and it is also a way for me to apologize for ambushing you before. Now that the test has been passed, it's time for us to talk about cooperation."
"Before talking about cooperation, should you tell me what they said in the message?" Gu Zheng said.
In the Zhen Palace just now, although Li Wenshan and Lang Feng both spoke to Gu Zheng, things like sound transmission were unavoidable. This was why Gu Zheng asked the demon cultivator in white to go with him.
"They didn't say much in the message. They can summarize it in two points. The first is that the man named Lang scolded the man named Li. He reminded Luggage that the Tianxuan Sect is a well-known and upright sect. If they forcibly search your soul, it is the same as the evil heretics. What's the difference? Another point is the surname. Lang's reminder to the luggage, you are a strange person with immortal realm, and I am a demon cultivator that they can't see through. If the two of us dare to go to the Zhen Palace, we must have something to rely on, because this little thing will depend on our life and death. Fighting is not a wise move.”
After the white-clothed demon cultivator finished speaking, he looked at the silent Gu Zheng and spoke again: "You are so powerful that you actually have an Immortal Realm! However, the fact that they are afraid of the Immortal Realm also shows that they do not have an Immortal Realm! This alone means that It makes us much safer, and it is also the basis for you to dare to go to the earthquake palace, right?"
"Think for yourself!"
Gu Zheng smiled enigmatically, and then said: "Let's talk about cooperation."
The cooperation matters are actually relatively simple. Gu Zheng and the white-clothed demon Xiu Yingfei will equally share the resources obtained in the subsequent cooperation. As for the details, the more important point is that Guzheng has priority in selecting food resources, and Yingfei has limited selection rights in fairy weapons, elixirs and other resources suitable for demon cultivators.
Time passes unconsciously, and the statute of limitations is about to be lifted.
During this period, two groups of people entered the palace where Gu Zheng and Ying Fei were.
There were two people in the first batch to enter the Li Palace. They were in the early stage and middle stage of Daluo Jinxian respectively. Before they entered the Li Palace, Gu Zheng felt the danger warning from the sixth sense! In addition, Yingfei was able to know where the entrants would appear, so before the two entrants could make a move, Gu Zheng and Yingfei caught them off guard and easily dispatched the two of them, gaining two rewards. A storage belt with a lot of resources.
There were five people in the second batch of people who entered the Li Palace, and they had no murderous intentions. After they entered, Gu Zheng and Ying Fei showed some strength, and they left the immortal formation obediently.
In addition, Ying Fei's water magic is very powerful, and he should be a spiritual beast in the water. In addition, his surname is "Ying", so Gu Zheng has already guessed his true identity.
"Click, click..."
The barrier protecting the treasures of heaven and earth is cracking little by little, as if a chicken is about to break out of its shell.
In the immortal formation where Gu Zheng is located, the treasures of heaven and earth in the light mask are the 'roots of the earth'. According to the first-come-first-served cooperative relationship, Gu Zheng had already negotiated its ownership when discussing cooperation matters.
"It's a pity that it's an earth-attribute treasure of heaven and earth. It conflicts with my own attributes, otherwise I wouldn't give it to you so easily."
Looking at the 'Root of Houtu' that was about to fall into Gu Zheng's hands, Ying Fei gritted his teeth.
"How many times have you said the same thing? Are you not annoyed?"
Gu Zheng glared at Ying Fei, and then said: "After we get this heavenly material and earthly treasure, if the strange object that activates the teleportation array is not the strange flower in my hand, then we have to go to Zhen Palace and Xun Palace to see ”
Whether it is the ‘Magic Sound Enchanting Formation’ or today’s Nine Palaces Formation, it is inseparable from the Yin-Yang and Five Elements. The attribute of the strange flower used by Gu Zheng is wood. If the teleportation immortal formation here is not activated by strange flowers, then the ones that can be activated by strange flowers are of course Zhen Palace and Xun Palace. After all, Zhen Palace and Xun Palace in Bagua Zhong are corresponding. It's all wood.
"Crack!"
There was another soft sound, and the colorless barrier covered with cracks shattered. The original white light on the top of the stone platform was extinguished, revealing the teleportation immortal formation underneath, and the originally suspended 'Root of Houtu' also fell downwards.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand, and the 'Root of Houtu' flew into his hand. He and Yingfei, who were originally floating in the air, immediately looked at the Teleportation Immortal Formation.
The materials that provide energy for the Teleportation Immortal Array are missing. It seems that the few things are like beads. This is not a strange flower owned by Gu Zheng that can be inserted into it.
"Which one to go to first?" Ying Fei asked.
"Let's go to Xun Palace first!"
Zhen Palace is where the Tianxuan Sect people live. If given the choice, Gu Zheng would not want to go there again.
There were originally seven people in Xun Palace. When Gu Zheng and Ying Fei entered, the original number had become three. Seeing that the teleportation immortal array could not be used, the remaining four people immediately looked for a usable teleportation immortal array. .
Facing the entry of Gu Zheng and Ying Fei, the three people in the Xun Palace showed hostility, but instead there was a glimmer of hope in their eyes. However, the hope soon turned into disappointment. The missing items on the Immortal Teleportation Formation here were also not the exotic flowers from ancient times.
"It looks like we are really going to shake the palace!" Gu Zheng thought to himself.
"You have thought before that you would go to Xun Palace twice, but you didn't expect it to come true!"
The spirit of the weapon smiled. When Gu Zheng first went to Zhen Palace, he muttered to himself outside the barrier of the immortal array. He wondered if he might have to come to Zhen Palace twice!
Some people also left Zhen Palace, but none of the people from Tianxuan Sect were missing. They were all doing research on the teleportation immortal array.
"Why are you here again?"
Looking at Gu Zheng and Ying Fei who entered, Li Wenshan's attitude was better, but his tone was still not very friendly.
"Wenshan!"
Lang Feng glared at Li Wenshan, then smiled at Gu Zheng and said, "Friend Bai, this teleportation formation is missing the necessary items to activate it. It seems that it is not easy to use it. Have you visited other palaces? Has anyone used the teleportation formation to leave?"
"I went to one, but no one left."
Gu Zheng paused and looked at Lang Feng and said, "Aren't you in a hurry? Why don't you try your luck somewhere else?"
"Although I don't have the missing items to activate the teleportation formation, I know that this teleportation formation can only be used once! Instead of trying your luck in other places, it's better to stay here. Maybe someone who can activate the teleportation formation will come over?" Lang Feng said with a smile.
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing Gu Zheng about to fly to the teleportation formation, Li Wenshan blocked him.
"I want to see if the rare item I have is the missing item in the teleportation formation here."
Hearing what Gu Zheng said, Li Wenshan's eyes lit up and he immediately made way.
Gu Zheng looked at the teleportation formation and found that the missing item on it was a small hole, the size of a flower stalk.
"Little friend Bai, what's going on?" Lang Feng asked.
"To be honest, I have the items to activate this teleportation array..."
"What?"
Before Gu Zheng finished speaking, Li Wenshan's eyes widened.
"We do have the items needed to activate the teleportation array, but as you all know, this teleportation array can carry five people, but we have a total of seven people here!" Gu Zheng said slowly.
"This damn Li Wenshan, he actually sent a message to Lang Feng to destroy us!"
While Li Wenshan was sending a message to Lang Feng, Ying Fei also sent a message to Gu Zheng about the eavesdropping content.
"However, Lang Feng did not agree to let him do this." Ying Fei said again.
"Lang, I would like to thank you, Mr. Bai, for sharing with us!"
Lang Feng clasped his fists to Gu Zheng: "All the things to activate the teleportation formation were contributed by Mr. Bai, and there are only two of you, so it should be our side that should reduce the number of places. However, since we have come together again by chance, Mr. Bai, do you want to cooperate with us?"
"Forget about cooperation. I don't want to arouse suspicion again. When we get to the place, we can go our separate ways!"
"You..."
Gu Zheng said this while looking at Li Wenshan. Li Wenshan opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he only said one word and flicked his sleeves.
"Time is running out. I will activate the teleportation formation now."
Gu Zheng took out the strange flower and inserted it into the small hole on the teleportation formation. The strange flower, which was originally only slightly blooming, began to bloom rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. A huge amount of energy was sent from it into the teleportation formation. The dim surface of the teleportation formation lit up, and countless mysterious array patterns rotated on it endlessly.
Gu Zheng and Ying Fei were the first to stand on the teleportation formation, followed by Lang Feng, Li Wenshan, and a Daluo Jinxian cultivator from the Tianxuan Sect.
Only five people can stand on the teleportation formation, so you can imagine how close everyone is! However, before the oppressive atmosphere lasted for a few breaths, after the light on the teleportation formation became bright, the figures of Gu Zheng and others had disappeared in Xun Palace, and the strange flowers originally inserted in the teleportation formation also withered.
The sight in front of them alternated between light and dark, and the place where Gu Zheng and others appeared looked like a huge cave.
Although the cave was large, it was not too deep. There was an ice wall right in front of Gu Zheng and others. This wall was built with ice bars more than one person long, and each ice bar contained a person.
Almost when Gu Zheng and others saw the ice bars, a dazzling light flashed in the space, and a figure appeared in the void.
"Thousand Corpse Demon!"
Li Wenshan exclaimed. Their Tianxuan Sect had a grudge against the Thousand Corpse Demon. He had even seen the Thousand Corpse Demon from afar.
The Thousand Corpse Demon that appeared in the air was not the real Thousand Corpse Demon. It was just a divine thought left by the Thousand Corpse Demon.
"Welcome, welcome, everyone, welcome to my Skeleton Palace!"
The divine thought shadow of the Thousand Corpse Demon in the air was smiling. If you just look at the appearance, it is really difficult to connect the notorious Thousand Corpse Demon with this old man with white hair and a amiable face.
"I value luck very much. Now I would like to invite the Taoist who stood on the wooden position of the teleportation formation when I came here to step forward!"
The teleportation formation when I came here can only stand five people. According to the five elements, the person standing on the wooden position is Li Wenshan.
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Wenshan. Li Wenshan's forehead was sweating. He didn't understand what the shadow of the Thousand Corpse Demon was going to do? Was it to give some benefits? He didn't think so!
"You're not going to move forward? Do you think that if you don't move forward, I, the ancestor, can do nothing about it?"
The shadow of the Thousand Corpse Demon stared at Li Wenshan with a cold gaze, and a stream of black air suddenly shot out from the top of the cave towards Li Wenshan.
"Hoo!"
Li Wenshan flicked his sleeves and a hurricane was generated, but the black air was not affected by the hurricane at all, and instead rushed straight to Li Wenshan's face at a faster speed.
A beam of white light shot out from the mirror in Lang Feng's hand, but the black gas did not burn in the white light. It was very close to Li Wenshan's face!
Li Wenshan frowned, and he used the "Shadow Change" skill. When his body appeared again, he was already very close to the phantom of the Thousand Corpse Demon.
"Playing tricks!"
Li Wenshan shouted and hit the phantom of the Thousand Corpse Demon with a palm.
