Chapter 1647

When the sky was thundering and lightning, at Hai Tiantao's signal, some confidants rushed to some places with his orders.

Many soldiers who had already put on armor returned to their original camps after learning the orders from above, and began to stay inside quietly.

Originally, at this time, they would go out to capture the traitors who wanted to leave here after waiting for a while, but since there was an order from above, even if they didn't understand, they still obeyed the order.

Only a small number of soldiers still went out and began to patrol along the previous route. The density was greatly reduced compared to before.

In a relatively ordinary courtyard in Tiansheng City, more than a dozen people had gathered, and everyone's face was full of panic. Did they look up at the lightning storm in the sky?

"Ding ding"

Suddenly, there were two knocks on the door outside, which scared everyone inside. The strong man in the lead took a deep breath, made a gesture to appease everyone, and then walked towards the door.

After the first knock, there was no movement. It was quiet, as if some terrible creature was lurking outside.

There was a slight "creak".

The strong man slowly opened the door, revealing the figures outside, but after seeing the people coming, his nervous face relaxed a little.

"Come in quickly!"

The strong man said as he made way for the figures, and at the same time, more than a dozen people outside filed in, one after another.

"You are a quarter of an hour later than usual, which is really worrying." After the strong man saw that no one was paying attention, he closed the door and went back to say.

"You don't know how strict the inspection is now, but I have successfully obtained a pass to other cities, which can help us get out at this time." One of the middle-aged men who looked a little wealthy couldn't help but complain when he heard this.

"That's great, I don't want to stay here to be buried with you." The strong man's eyes were happy, and he looked at the envelope with purple light and said in a low voice.

"Of course, do you know what I paid for? Almost all my property, my wife and children are here, otherwise I can't leave even if I lose everything, even if it's because my sister is seriously ill." The wealthy man snorted coldly and couldn't help but say.

"You've worked hard, but isn't it a bit annoying to bring so many people with you?" The strong man smiled, and saw the dozen people brought by the other party, and couldn't help wondering.

"These are my bodyguards. If there is any problem, they can protect me to death. You just need to provide the secret passage you mentioned." The wealthy man also said, and put away the guide.

"I understand, it seems that you want to go back. In this case, I have no objection. We will set off when the time is almost right." The strong man looked at the other party meaningfully, but didn't say much.

The other party tried to leave here, but he didn't know whether he could do it as he wished. You know, the defense in other cities is even deeper.

Except for the two of them who talked from time to time, everyone else was silent and stayed quietly aside.

After most of the day, they felt that the time was about right here, so they gathered together and walked outside.

With the pass, which was issued by the city lord himself, even though they were numerous and very suspicious, they still went out smoothly.

When they were far away from the city, their route suddenly turned and they ran quickly towards the wilderness outside.

At a small hill that looked ordinary, they stopped and looked at the golden light flashing not far away. They were not so stupid as to rush over from it. You should know that all places are connected to the nearby patrols, and you can't escape the pursuit of the other party.

"Don't be stunned. While the patrols are not here, dig quickly. The passage below has been dug long ago." The strong man here said without any nonsense, and took the lead in digging with the simple tools made on the road.

There is strength in numbers. With more than a dozen people working in turns, in just one stick of incense, a hole for one person to pass appeared below. The dark hole made it impossible to see the situation below.

"Hurry up." The strong man glanced at the sky and jumped down first.

According to his judgment, when they get out, the attack above will almost be over.

Everyone jumped down, and even the traces on it were simply buried. Anyone could find that there was something wrong here, but they didn't care. By the time someone found out, they had already left here.

Half a day later, as a flat ground in the distance suddenly broke open, they soon crawled out from below one by one. Looking back, they saw that the lightning behind them had disappeared, the sky was clear, and the figure disappeared in the air.

However, the strong man knew that the other person would definitely wait for them in a fixed place.

"We will separate again, goodbye!" The strong man said to the rich man, and hurriedly led his people to another direction, which was the road to the forest behind Tiansheng City.

The rich man here didn't care. He got ready and continued to walk towards the distance. There were supplies that he had prepared at the risk of his life, enough for them to return to other human kingdoms and leave here.

Half a day later, when they were walking towards the distance with supplies, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Sir, it's them. They don't admire your glory and want to leave here. It's simply unforgivable." The strong man who separated before said with a charming smile.

"Very good information. I just need some people. I will reward you later." The man who bombarded the barrier before was still dressed in the same outfit. His eyes looked at this side meaningfully, looking back and forth among the crowd.

When he found that they were all ordinary people, he said to the side.

"It should be, it should be." The strong man replied happily, not caring about the information that he betrayed before he was a companion.

"In that case, you all come with me!" He threw out a magic weapon casually and put all the people in front of him into a small gourd, even the strong man beside him was no exception, and then he rushed into the sky. He still had to go to other places to catch all those who ran away.

After a day, in the City Lord's Mansion of Tiansheng City, Hai Tiantao was relieved after sensing that the other party had completely left. Everything could only wait for him to come back.

Behind the huge forest behind Tiansheng City, there is an inconspicuous small mountain, which is more like a large hill. It looks very flat and is also covered by forests. The only difference is that there is no one on this hill, and there is not even a trace of insect chirping.

A figure flew quickly from the horizon, then slowly landed, came to the entrance of the very wide cave, and walked in.

"Ouch"

With his palm waving again, about a hundred people suddenly appeared in this spacious cave, a group of people appeared on the ground in a mess, you squeeze me, I press you in a mess, and the painful groaning sounded even louder.

And he put away his disguise, wearing a tight suit, lying lazily on the seat above, watching the commotion below, not caring, just watching below without making any sound.

In the crowd, an equally inconspicuous young man, after seeing the real face above, his pupils shrank slightly, and the next moment he turned his head without expression, and continued to push others like others to let himself out.

Gu Zheng had actually been hiding in the team of the wealthy man. As for the original man, he was originally Hai Tiantao's man. This time, Gu Zheng wanted to hide, so he gave him a pass and opened the back door.

But he didn't expect that the other party was secretly running to another place. When he was worried, the other party happened to stop them and arrested them one by one.

But Gu Zheng never thought that this bad guy was actually his acquaintance, Xingkong, who had spent a lot of time with him down there.

Looking at the big change in the other party's aura at this time and then, thinking that the other party finally robbed the treasures of his clan, he didn't expect that he was also defiled. What a pity.

Thinking here, the people in the hall soon became messy, looking up with some fear in their eyes, because it seemed that the other party didn't seem to be as good as advertised before.

"Since you are here, please be quiet. As long as you work for me for a while, my previous promise will not change, and your lives will not be endangered." At this time, Xingkong finally spoke from above, and a faint momentum pressed down. The commotion below stopped immediately, and everyone looked up tremblingly.

The people below heard it, and they looked around, not daring to answer at all, fearing that the other party would kill them if they made a mistake. Qiqi was already very regretful in his heart, and he would not come if he had known.

"Since you have no objection, then it's settled. Come with me next, your task is also very easy." Xingkong stood up and walked to the side, where there were fist-sized night pearls inlaid, illuminating a passage leading down.

The people in front looked at each other, watching the other party walk slowly, as if they were not worried about their escape.

"The back is blocked." A desperate voice sounded from behind.

Everyone looked at it, and a transparent shield suddenly rose above the only exit. Although it was very weak, it was impossible for ordinary people to open it.

In other words, they only have one way to go. How can they get off so easily after getting on the pirate ship?

The crowd had no choice but to comfort themselves in their hearts, because there was no other way but to follow. If they stayed here, who knew what would happen to the other party in the end.

Gradually descending along the relatively wide passage, not long after, an equally spacious cave appeared in front of everyone.

Although the crowd moved forward slowly, Gu Zheng secretly surveyed the surroundings.

However, at this time, Gu Zheng's heart suddenly tightened, because there were several prisons composed of black lightning next to him, which held some humans with equally high cultivation.

Although Gu Zheng didn't recognize the first one, he was probably stationed here with the power of incense.

Trapped by this black lightning, no wonder he couldn't get out.

In the second room was a strange human Golden Immortal Peak. It seemed that the other party should have come here to destroy the other party on purpose, but was also trapped by the other party.

When they reached the third house, Gu Zheng finally saw Mantian, who looked furious. Unlike the two who stayed where they were, he was trying to struggle with the black electric ropes on his body, but it didn't seem to be of much use.

Xingkong didn't even look at them. He led them through here and continued to walk to the opposite side. Soon they came to a small cave.

It is said to be a cave, but in fact there is no trace of soil around it. It is all covered with a kind of black copper jade, shining with metallic light, and densely packed runes are engraved on it.

The most conspicuous place is a small black jade pillar in the middle, with a small black ball the size of a palm suspended above it.

"Okay, your mission is to stay here for half a month, with food and drink. No one can leave here, otherwise I won't blame you for being rude." Xingkong just let half of the people in front go in, and the other half Rushing to the other direction, he said to the people who came in here.

Gu Zheng was also fortunate enough to be one of them, and he was also under house arrest here.

After Xingkong said that, he left here directly, leaving only a group of stupid humans, looking at the surroundings at a loss, for fear that the patterns on the inscriptions would be blurred.

However, some people were shocked and tired. When they saw that the other party just let themselves stay here, they just sat down on it.

Soon everyone started talking quietly, but nothing came of it except being confused.

After a while, several similarly human men walked in from outside, took out a lot of food and threw it in, but they stayed outside and did not dare to come in at all.

Facing the shouts of the people inside, they ran away in the direction they came from as if they were afraid, which intensified the panic in everyone's hearts.

But here, they were like blind people, and they couldn't go out. The evil god had clearly threatened them before, and no one wanted to test them with themselves.

"Eat quickly. Anyway, we are in the hands of the other party. How can we still resist? If it is true as the other party said, there is at least a glimmer of hope." At this time, a young man stood up and said to everyone.

It was Gu Zheng who stood up. Through this little time observation, he already understood what the other party was going to do.

The formation engraved here is just a simple sound transmission formation, but there is an evil formation hidden in it, which can slowly erode the yang energy of ordinary people. It seems that they should use the yang energy in them to break through. What a barrier.

"Captain Rong, can you take us out?" The rich man immediately asked urgently. Gu Zheng's identity at this time was his guard captain.

"You also know my strength. Even the Lord of Hai City is no match for the opponent. It is impossible for me to take you out of here. It's just that I can't break through the defense outside." Gu Zheng spread his hands and said deliberately.

The rich man was a little disappointed and knew that he couldn't be blamed. He sighed and then did it.

Others also understood what Gu Zheng meant and could only stay here resigned to their fate.

Gu Zheng also stayed here quietly. He was very curious. How could he, who wanted to recover his treasure at that time, become like this? What happened in these years, why did the other party want to find him, or say that he The possessed painting.

Of course, the black electricity all over the sky also made Gu Zheng a little worried. It seemed that Xingkong could control those things at any time. If it was really Tie Dao and the others, Gu Zheng, who knew the power of black electricity, felt that they would shed their skin even if they didn't die.

Be prudent. The other party will leave next month anyway, so it is the safest time to act.

Just ten days later, everyone who was originally lively and vigorous became a little sick, as if the energy and spirit of the body had been sucked away. Except for eating, everyone was lying down weakly, regardless of what others thought.

Gu Zheng also followed the example of others, paralyzing on the ground with a sallow complexion.

"Ding-Deng-Deng"

The sound of footsteps came from far away. Except for a few people, everyone lowered their heads silently and didn't even look. They looked more like walking zombies.

From the corner of his eye, Gu Zheng saw Xingkong walking towards the middle, talking to himself.

"It seems that the quality of this group of people is a bit low and they need to be rotated in advance."

As he said this, he came to the black pillar in the middle. With a slight wave of his hand, a black shield surrounded him.

Seeing this, Gu Zheng closed his eyes, quietly attached his consciousness, and began to feel what was happening inside with all his strength. With a trembling sound, the sound inside was clearly transmitted to Gu Zheng's ears.

"Lord Soul, I have already felt the aura of that scroll, but this time I still failed to break through the opponent's defense."

Xingkong's figure was respectful. Although he couldn't see inside, he could feel Xingkong's nervousness.

"Well, this time I asked you to tell you that after you get it, come back to the sword spirit as soon as possible. As long as you send the new ghost down, you will be very happy." A somewhat familiar voice sounded inside.

"But there has been no progress for so many years. Will Xingba send someone over?" Xingkong's tone was full of uneasiness, and he seemed to be very afraid of Xingba.

"Don't worry about this. According to the plan, you will never notice what's going on here. Besides, there is a shielding circle, so others can't notice it at all. Just come here quickly. The gourd in your hand is very important. Do you understand?"

"Understood, I will leave here in two years at most and go to meet there!" Xingkong said solemnly.

"It's okay. I must do my best to suppress the riots on the Sword Spirit side. When you come back, the stronghold over there will be destroyed and the opponent will be released. At that time, it will be enough to reopen a passage. We can't make the same mistake again this time. 6 It’s a matter of thousands of years, so you don’t need to contact me next time, I will wait for you here.”

"yes!"

Xingkong replied seriously, knowing the meaning very well.

The figure finished speaking very quickly, and no more sound came, and the shield outside gradually began to dissipate.

Gu Zheng quickly retracted his consciousness, and he was sure that the other party was coming for Xiaoying, but what was so attractive about her that made the other party pay so much attention to her.

"All of you hurry out, we don't need you here anymore." Xingkong's face regained its calmness again, and he frowned as he looked at the people in a pool of flesh.

When everyone heard this, their tired bodies seemed to be filled with strength, and they all rolled and crawled towards the outside.
