Chapter 1744

At this time, in a somewhat dim hall, dozens of green flames like ghost fires were burning on the pillars next to them. The light seemed dim, but it made the whole hall look clearly visible. Except for the area near the figure above, it was a zone where even light could not enter.

A figure was sitting on a dragon-shaped mount above, facing the empty hall, and he didn't know what he was doing. Suddenly, the void in front of him fluctuated, waking him up from his meditation.

He stretched out a hand and inserted it directly into the void in front of him. When he was about to come, an ordinary scroll appeared in his hand, showing a quiet mountain villa on it, with shadowy figures, looking like the real thing.

A pair of red lights came out of his face, and then he looked into the scroll. His lazy look suddenly changed, and his face became angry.

The scroll in his hand shook lightly, and two figures rolled out from it, lying unconscious on the ground, and at the same time, a figure like a spirit floated up from above.

"Where is the Soul Stone I was hoping for? Zhuhun made me spend a lot of effort to teleport you over, but how come you are gone?" An ordinary voice sounded faintly, with a little anger in it, which seemed particularly eerie and terrifying in this empty hall.

"Heavenly King, someone has already cracked the Guixu illusion inside and took the people away at the last moment of teleportation." The figure floated in the air and said.

"Bang"

The figure above slapped instantly, making a loud noise, and the whole hall seemed to tremble. He stood up and walked forward a few steps, shouting at the front.

"Impossible, unless you let it go, how can you leave there? Even if the intruder can leave at any time, but the person trapped in it, without the original stone to untie the restraints, how can he break out? Do you still want to experience the Nine Nether Fire, and dare to let the other party go."

"Heavenly King, we really didn't let it go. If you don't believe it, you can check everything about the other party, and you will know that what we said is false. The other party really broke through Guixu." The spirit was unmoved and still said firmly.

"Well, I'll see how the other party can break it." The figure sneered, raised his hand, and a white light hit the scroll, and then the whole scroll began to ripple like water waves.

The worshippers and the village on it began to disappear, and at the same time, two figures, one large and one small, slowly emerged from it.

The figure looked carefully at it, wanting to see who it was, but when the outline of the figure was completed and the human body was about to flash, a mysterious force suddenly appeared and shattered the power of the scroll.

At the same time, the figure on it also disappeared rapidly, and the whole scroll showed its previous appearance again.

The figure on it also groaned, then took a step back, a flush surged on his face, and then was suppressed.

"Damn it, can't you see the other party? But your defense formation is not good, so I spent so much money, and I didn't even get the soul stone back. No matter what, all of you will be immersed in the Yin Spring for a hundred years and suffer endless pain, so that you will know the price of failure."

The figure recovered a little, and then said viciously.

Without waiting for the person in the scroll to reply, he raised his hand, and the spirit was collected into the scroll. With a wave of his hand, the scroll instantly disappeared into the void, without a trace.

"Heavenly King, the envoy is outside and has something to report."

At this time, a figure suddenly sounded outside the palace door.

The door was opened silently, and then a man in a black robe walked in quickly, and knelt on one knee in the middle of the hall.

"Heavenly King, the new entrance has been prepared, just waiting for a gap to open above, and then a stable passage can be formed."

"Okay, this time we can only succeed and not fail. We have been planning for so long, and there is no remaining material. Watch out for the troublemaker over there, don't let him destroy it again, otherwise everyone knows the consequences." The figure finally showed a smile on his face.

"Heavenly King, please rest assured, we have sent some troops to attack the other side, and the other side has no power to destroy it. Even he can stop us." The black-robed man said confidently.

"Him? Don't be too proud. He's just a clone. How can he suppress us? He can suppress us for a while, but he can't suppress us for a while. When we appear here again, we will have a foothold there again one day. That will be the time for us to rise." The figure stood there and said with contempt.

"Following the king, we will surely revive. Those people are short-sighted and just want to be safe. They will kneel at the feet of the king at that time." The man in black robe also shouted enthusiastically.

"Those people are not worthy of example. What's the situation up there?" Thinking of those people, although it's a bit of a headache, at least they don't hold him back.

I heard that someone over there seemed to be wavering and tried to open a passage up there, but there has been no movement for so many years. I'm afraid it failed. It seems that the losses are even more considerable, so it's not a big deal.

"Although the progress above is not very smooth, first of all, the Shura people who asked for cooperation failed miserably in order to purify the sword, and were instead taken advantage of by outsiders. However, perhaps out of guilt for us, they sent strong troops to help us suppress that place. At least half of the area is under our control, but we cannot enter the core." The black-robed man said carefully.

"You mean, we have gathered below, do we still have to wait for the above?" The smile on the figure's face slowly disappeared.

"Yes, but we are fully prepared. As long as we get the core jade seal, we can start it at any time. However, the ear protection mechanism inside is too powerful. Even with Shura, we can only destroy them bit by bit. Even so, we have suffered a lot of losses." The black-robed man said carefully.

"In that case, then be prepared. You also know the consequences of failure. Go down. I want to retreat." The figure ordered lightly, and was not interested in asking other things.

"I will take my leave." The black-robed man bowed his head and said, and then retreated again.

At this time, the edge of the mountain far away from Xuekui City was originally a very ordinary open space. At this time, many people had gathered. Each of them had a very strong aura, and the lowest was not lower than the Golden Immortal Realm. Looking at it, there were at least hundreds of people.

With the opening of the underground palace, some fluctuations have been noticed by the people around. Not only Xuekui City, but also other nearby cities, as long as there are people with a certain level of cultivation, they will definitely come.

Although Gu Zheng and his team arrived here first, they could not enter. They had to wait until the underground palace opened to a certain extent before they could enter, and they had to be within this certain range. After all, the underground palace was not below, but in another secret space. Without accurate guidance, no one could find it.

However, these people did not know that they gathered in groups of two or three and talked about this place, guessing what the movement was that caused such a big alarm. Many people were looking down to find the source of the fluctuation, and some people even used some magic weapons to drill down.

Because the fluctuation was in this area, no one could determine the location of it, and it felt like it was everywhere.

In the corner on one side, Gu Zheng and his team also occupied a place openly. There was no cover around them at all, and with so many people, it was not very useful to hide their bodies. They just had to wait quietly.

"Sister Zhou, we can go in in a few days."

While talking to each other inside, Xiaoying suddenly asked Zhou Xuan.

"It's only one day at most. Don't worry. There are still some dangers when you get down. Although there are not too many traps in the underground palace, you have to break through it once it is activated, otherwise you can't enter the next area." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

"Isn't the underground palace a whole? Do you have to break into the last one?" Xiaoying also suddenly asked.

"Of course not, it is actually divided into three parts. Only after passing the first place can you leave and enter the next place. But it seems that we don't care about the guards inside, but these people are our biggest biggest, because the number of people going down each time is limited, at least it can reduce some pressure." Zhou Xuan explained.

"That person is here, but I can't find his trace." At this time, Gu Zheng on the side suddenly said.

"I knew it, but with the other party's strength, there must be no problem in going in. We have to be careful and can't be found by the other party. The other party's cultivation is not worse than yours."

Zhou Xuan certainly knew who Gu Zheng was referring to, but he didn't expect that the other party's hiding skills were so good.

According to Gu Zheng's intention, he wanted to block them directly outside, but the other party was so careful that even Gu Zheng could only feel a trace of the other party's breath. It was a pity.

Even Gu Zheng realized that the other party seemed to have discovered this place, but they were also hiding very deeply, and they were sure that the other party could not find their existence.

Next, in addition to the increasing number of people, some small conflicts also gradually occurred, but even if the conflict was bigger, they would find another place to solve it. With so many people here, even if each person hit them, they couldn't bear it, and of course it was impossible to fight so arrogantly here.

However, what puzzled Gu Zheng was that some masters of Daluo also came here, but when there was still half a day before the opening time, they all left again.

Of course, it was not just their departure. Some people who felt that they were not strong enough or felt that there were too many people had chosen to leave. Even so, some people with the cultivation of celestial beings could be seen in the crowd, and they were also ready to fight and break in.

Little did they know that the vast majority of them were not qualified to enter at all.

It seems that we should be worried about their comfort. You know, except for the last location, you have to suppress your cultivation when you go in, otherwise you will be directly bounced out by the space inside. Maybe they also noticed it.

At this time, the closer we are to the opening of the underground palace, the more strange phenomena around us begin to appear. Even Gu Zheng can sense the huge fluctuations in the air. On the original wasteland, there are wisps of tender green grass, which makes the earth appear green.

"There is still half a day, it may open at any time. Everyone pay attention. We just need to stick together, and don't rush to go in first. Let them knock open the traps in front first, which will not only reduce the chance of exposing ourselves, but also reduce our losses." At this time, Zhou Xuan stood up and said.

Everyone nodded, knowing that what Zhou Xuan said was true, and continued to wait calmly.

But those people outside didn't know that facing the underground palace that seemed to be opened at any time, they were obviously a little impatient, but at this time everyone was forcing themselves to restrain themselves.

As time passed, the spiritual energy in the surrounding air became much denser, and at the same time, the weeds that were originally like weeds actually began to grow slowly. However, most of them only grew in the corners of the place, but some continued to grow firmly like saplings.

Not long after, huge grass stems like mushrooms appeared in the air, like willow trees, blooming from the middle and hanging down to the surroundings, covering most of the air. The fragrance of green grass filled everyone's mind, making everyone in the best state of mind.

Everyone looked up, although they didn't know why there was something, but they also knew that they must have something to do with entering the underground palace.

Those green grass stems even faster absorbed spiritual energy from the surroundings, and their originally emerald bodies now looked like jade, emitting green light.

"Look, the inner elixir has begun to condense on the falling leaves of the other party." Zhou Xuan suddenly said.

Gu Zheng looked up when he heard it. On some of the hanging grass stems, rice-like green crystals appeared below, and bright green lights were flashing from the grass stems and transported inside, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

By the time everyone found it, it was already the size of an apple, and it was still growing.

The emerald fruit-like thing also sent out waves. Anyone who looked at it could sense it, and it was clear at a glance that if they wanted to enter the underground palace, they had to go through these gem-like things.

"Why are those different from ours?" Gu Zheng looked at it with some confusion, and the one in his hand was completely different.

"Those can only go in once. If you want to go out, you must go through a special exit channel to leave, or let the creature escape, and only one can enter at a time. The one in our hand can not only leave at any time, but more importantly, it can also make the creature inside not be our enemy, but regard us as companions, because this thing is the signal for help from the other party." Zhou Xuan explained carefully.

"Isn't that very convenient, but does the other party have this thing? Why does the other party give us this thing?" Xiaoying heard it, her eyes turned, and she said in confusion.

"How do you think the other party can escape? Theoretically, it is absolutely right that we are our own people. Of course, the other party has another way to get in. This time we go in ourselves, and we give the other party complete freedom. Another aspect is to teleport to the enemy camp." Zhou Xuan continued with a smile.

"But once the underground palace is activated, there is no way to get in. We can only go down from the top little by little, so we have to remove some of the other party's constraints. Only in this way can the other party completely escape. This is also the condition we promised the other party at the beginning."

"Well, it's easy to do, so I'll help. It's nothing." Gu Zheng nodded and said directly, without any unhappiness on his face.

This made Zhou Xuan on the side quietly relieved and continued.

"In fact, these people also help us to a certain extent. After all, the threats to us are those parasitic creatures and some set up mechanisms. In the future, when the other party recovers some vitality, they will also help us. It can be said that our biggest enemy is the person who is a little crazy."

Gu Zheng didn't say anything, just nodded. Gu Zheng didn't take the enemy in that position seriously. He was only in the early stage of Daluo, and he had great confidence to defeat the other party.

At this time, as the emerald gems above became larger and larger, some of them were ready to move. If everyone was not in a weird balance, they would probably start to grab them.

There are at least hundreds of gems around, but there are more than that many people around, which means that most of them cannot enter at all. Of course, there are some lucky ones who can enter without passing through.

"It's going to fall." Gu Zheng sighed softly.

At this time, almost all the jade pearls have a trace of green gas on them, which obviously looks like they are going to fall, and these are almost within a few breaths, which means that a fight for grabbing is inevitable.

As Gu Zheng's voice fell, a light sound suddenly rose in the air, and then a green bead fell from it in full view of the crowd.

"Grab it quickly!"

I don't know who yelled in the crowd, and suddenly everyone nearby started to move, rushing towards the falling and about to fall in front of them.

For a while, the sky was full of light like starlight rising in the middle area, and at the same time, countless roars and collisions, some people's curses, and the groans of the injured began to resound.

A big melee began to appear in front of him just as Gu Zheng had thought, but the people who were fighting for it were very measured and did not use strong attacks to fight for it, so it seemed chaotic, but no one died, at most they were seriously injured.

However, there were still some people who were very smart and hid on the periphery, watching the fight from a mountain, waiting for the opportunity to snatch it.

However, as the lights in the field continued to flash, some people who got it had a breath, and before giving others a chance, they activated it directly, and then turned into a ball of green light and disappeared in front of everyone.

Now the people outside couldn't wait, and they also joined the fight, because some of them quickly condensed again, and exploded in all directions as soon as they appeared, and some lucky ones directly got it.

"Let's go!" Gu Zheng saw that the time was almost up, and said to Zhou Xuan.

"That's what I meant, don't be nervous, I'll take you in." Zhou Xuan nodded, and also understood that now was the best time, and then took out the inner pill.

With the simple cover, people outside also saw chaos here, which was almost the same as inside. There were also a few flashes of green light, and Gu Zheng and his group all disappeared.

The people outside were still fighting for the places to enter, and as the number of people got smaller and smaller, they became more and more angry, and they couldn't stop their actions.

Some people with low strength gave up the fight when they saw this. In less than half a cup of tea, all the people holding the green beads had been teleported in.

At this time, the grass stems also weathered rapidly, and the fluctuations in the air gradually subsided, and soon they returned to their original appearance.

Those who didn't go in sighed and dispersed, leaving only some people who didn't give up here, still wandering around, trying to find other ways to get in.
