Chapter 1918
"Miss Huaxin, this time the elders invited Mr. Gu alone, please don't follow me, don't make it difficult for me."
Gu Zheng had just left the male soul who was willing to lead him to leave, and suddenly turned his head and said to the empty space beside him.
Gu Zheng turned his head with some doubts, and saw that Huaxin was closing the door at this time and didn't come out. Why did the other party say so, but he found that there was a ripple beside him, and Huaxin's figure appeared beside him.
Seeing that his plan was discovered, he didn't feel that he had revealed anything. He glanced at the guide angrily, pushed open the door, and walked in again.
"Miss Huaxin is often naughty, but her heart is still good. Although I can't find it, this time it is very important, and Mr. Gu can only be alone."
The leading male soul seemed not to see it, smiled at Gu Zheng, explained aloud, his eyes full of flattery, and then stepped forward again to lead the way.
Gu Zheng and the man standing next to him were very curious about the male soul. To be honest, this was the first time he had seen a male from the Painting Soul Clan. He looked like a monster in the air. If you look closely, he is not much different from an ordinary human being. Moreover, his strength seems to be not weak, as he is at the middle stage of the Golden Immortal. His behavior is also very decent. It is a pity that the Painting Soul Clan, which is based on strength, is a bit lagging behind.
After all, it seems that there is no master among the male souls. It is really strange. It is a strange choice. Normally, it should not be like this. It seems that some human manipulation was done in the later stage.
He had some guesses in his mind. I am afraid that when cultivating the Painting Soul Clan, their original owner must have made a choice. After all, he can completely tilt resources to different Painting Soul Clan members, which led to the magic weapon itself slowly choosing automatically. This can also explain it a little.
However, why the new male soul is also like this, Gu Zheng does not know, but this is the secret of the Painting Soul Clan. He did not want to delve into it. He simply thought about it and put it aside.
"We're here, Mr. Gu. The elders are waiting for you inside."
Outside a strange courtyard, the male soul stopped and said to Gu Zheng. He also knew that Gu Zheng was not from their Painting Soul Clan at all. The other party was just pretending to be a person.
"Thank you, what's your name?" Gu Zheng still smiled and asked the other party's name by the way.
"My name is Bixing."
"Then Bixing is very grateful for bringing me here. See you again if there is a chance." Gu Zheng thanked him again, and then pushed open the courtyard door and walked inside.
A complex look flashed in Bixing's eyes, and then he turned his head silently and left, heading to where he should go.
Walking into this courtyard and walking towards the only attic inside, his peripheral vision also swept to the side. There were many vigilant mirror monsters next to him. Each of them was fully armed and covered with a layer of shiny protective gear, which covered the important parts of the body. It was quite pleasing to the eye.
He also felt the gazes of these mirror monsters, which had been following him all the time. Among them, at least three were as powerful as him, and the others were at least at the peak of the Golden Immortal. This was only a part of them. They were really powerful. I don't know why they followed Huahun so wholeheartedly. With their strength, they seemed to be no weaker than the four tribes and were fully capable of leaving alone.
"I'm here. I asked you to come here this time just to tell you that you will leave here with Elder Nineteen in three days. This time, she will come to bless on behalf of Meng Zhen, but there are some things to prepare. Stay here for the next few days. I will help you disguise yourself."
After entering the room, Gu Zheng saw a familiar Seventh Elder and several elders he had never seen before. After a few pleasantries, Elder Seven pointed to an elder next to him and said to Gu Zheng.
"I'll trouble Elder Nineteen this time." Gu Zheng said politely.
Although Elder Nineteen ranked low, his strength was not strong. He was only in the early stage of Daluo. Gu Zheng even felt that he was weaker than himself, and his face was tense, and he didn't look easy to get along with.
Facing Gu Zheng's flattery, she just nodded slightly, with a look of arrogance and not too much contact.
Gu Zheng didn't care. He had seen many people with worse attitudes than her. Besides, this might just be the other party's personality. He didn't feel dissatisfied or rejected from the other party.
However, the seventh elder didn't pretend to him first, and began to discuss the suitability of this blessing with several other elders, as well as some other things that Gu Zheng didn't understand. After a whole day, only the seventh elder was left, and she had time to talk to Gu Zheng.
"I didn't expect to delay for so long and keep you waiting." The seventh elder said softly.
"No, anyway, I have nothing to do, and you have to send me out. I can't thank you enough." Gu Zheng said hurriedly.
After all, Meng Zhen was caught. Although he didn't say anything and the other party didn't blame him much, he still felt a little guilty. Even though they were the first to have problems, his previous actions with Huaying made Meng Zhen take him in to hide there. Otherwise, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
"Okay, the efforts outside to catch you have not stopped. Although the other party has confirmed that you are here, they cannot come in and can only guard outside. There must be guards at the door, and this blessing is our only chance to get out in the near future. Obviously, the other party will not let go of this opportunity." The Seventh Elder continued.
"So I'm going to make some small changes for you. In order to prevent the other party from recognizing you, you have to suffer a little bit. Only in this way can you completely deceive the other party."
"I'm ready." Gu Zheng nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Then come here and take a nap." The seventh elder led Gu Zheng to the back.
There was a small room in the back, with a large water tank in the middle. It was at least half full of green thick liquid, bubbling. As the bubbles burst, streams of green gas kept floating out.
"You just need to lie in it. This disguise can last for a month. It will naturally be lifted after the time is up. There are no sequelae. You can rest assured." The seventh elder flipped his hand, and a tung-colored wooden brush appeared in his hand, but the tip of the brush was not an ordinary brush, but a group of fluctuating green light.
Gu Zheng did not hesitate, he stepped directly into the air, walked to the top of the water tank, slowly fell down, and slowly immersed his legs in it, until the liquid inside submerged his waist and reached the bottom, only his head was exposed on it.
A cool feeling came from the thick liquid, and at the same time, he seemed to be fascinated by a layer of light green dance in front of his eyes. After sniffing it lightly, the whole person felt a little drowsy, as if even the control of the body was weakened a lot.
"Is it okay? Relax your whole body." The seventh elder's somewhat empty voice came from here.
Gu Zheng looked in the direction of the seventh elder's voice, and felt that the other party's figure was a little distorted through the green dance, and there was a colorful halo around him, which looked extremely psychedelic, but he still nodded heavily.
He was not worried that the Painting Soul Clan would harm him. If there was really any harm, no matter how much he resisted here, it would be useless. Only the second elder was enough to take him down, so why bother to do such a complicated thing.
As his eyelids began to slowly get heavier, Gu Zheng leaned against the other person and leaned on the water tank. At this time, he could see the dense green monster dancing in the air. As a layer of green light enveloped it, his consciousness kept sinking.
"Wake up, wake up!"
In a daze, Gu Zheng felt someone calling him in his ear, making his consciousness keep turning. He opened his eyes and saw a pretty woman in front of him. Seeing him wake up, she smiled slightly. From the lens on her forehead, he could clearly see his confused look.
Gu Zheng turned over and sat up, watching the other person waiting beside him, waiting for him to wake up completely. In front of him was an ordinary water tank, and he was sitting on a simple wooden bed.
It had been a long, long time since Gu Zheng had fallen into such a deep sleep. Even if he sat up now, he felt a mess in his head. He couldn't help but stretch out his arm to cover his forehead, but the feeling in his hand made him a little stunned. With a slight turn of his eyes, he found that his arm seemed to have changed.
On the originally ordinary arm, there were already some bright lenses, growing layer by layer. From the reflection on it, he even saw a lens of the same brightness on his forehead, but his face did not change.
After a little movement, it seemed that those lenses grew out of his body, which made him a little uncomfortable.
In this short time, he quickly remembered what happened last time. Looking at the woman next to him who looked like him, he also understood what happened. He was temporarily transformed into a mirror demon by the Seventh Elder. No wonder he felt a little heavier.
"You woke up, the elders are waiting for us outside." The girl next to him saw the clarity in Gu Zheng's eyes and spoke.
"Then let's go quickly." Although Gu Zheng didn't know that he had to go to such trouble to help him transform, he must have their considerations. After all, if he wanted to pass under the other party's nose, ordinary means might not work.
In fact, Gu Zheng had an idea at first, that is, he hid in the black tower, and then the other party took the black tower away, but he didn't bring it up because the spirit objected. Once Gu Zheng left, the aura of the black tower itself could not be concealed. Needless to say, the impact at that time also dispelled his idea.
As for letting the other party take him, Gu Zheng didn't mention it either, because the black tower couldn't be taken in, so the Seventh Elder knew that, so he used this more cumbersome and safer method.
Although it's not 100% safe, it's the best she can do. Even some mirror monsters have suffered a lot of injuries, including two mirror monsters in the early stage of human soul.
"Wake up, now you are the only one missing. If you feel about right, we will set off." The Seventh Elder and the Nineteenth Elder were waiting outside. When they saw Gu Zheng coming out, the Seventh Elder said immediately.
There were not only two elders in front, but also a male soul following the Nineteenth Elder. There were three female mirror monsters and one male mirror monster left. Together with Gu Zheng's side, it just made up a team of eight people.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I don't think there's any problem now. What if the other party asks?" Gu Zheng asked hurriedly after watching the girl next to him return to the team.
"Don't worry about this. If the fourteenth elder doesn't ask you to speak, you can act as a member of the mirror demon tribe and leave the rest to her." The seventh elder said affirmatively.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything, but for the sake of safety, don't leave before you get there." The nineteenth elder said with a stern face.
Gu Zheng nodded in understanding, and then consciously stood beside another mirror demon male soul.
"Well, I wish you a safe journey. If you need to find us in the future, just activate this and the elders outside will naturally contact you =, and you can master some simple spells by the way." The seventh elder handed over a fan and said.
The water-white fan looks different, but it looks like a monster in the air. More importantly, there is no pattern on the whole fan. You can still feel a strange effect in your hand. Obviously, it is not an ordinary thing, but Gu Zheng seems to be able to activate it only to notify the painting soul. Other functions cannot be used because they are not suitable.
"I accept it." Faced with the other party's kindness, Gu Zheng took it and accepted it, because he thought that if he needed it, he really couldn't contact them.
At the same time, a message came, which seemed to be the fighting method of the mirror monster clan, of course, it was just a simple method.
"Seventh sister, we're leaving first." At this time, the nineteenth elder said goodbye to the seventh elder.
"Don't worry, when you come back, things may be settled." The seventh elder also said the same thing.
After such a long time, they have made great preparations. There is only one thing left, that is, as long as they find a good opportunity, they can leave here.
Although the palace seems closed, if they really want to leave, nothing can stop them.
The nineteenth elder walked in the front, followed by the male soul of the painting soul who was one step behind, and then the four female mirror monsters, while Gu Zheng and the male soul next to him walked at the end.
Although the lineup is strange, the specific status can be seen.
No matter how unpromising the male soul is, it is still the painting soul clan, and the mirror monster clan belongs to the subsidiary clan. It is estimated that except for a few high-level people, most of them cannot surpass their status.
They walked out all the way, and Gu Zheng also abided by his status. Now that he is in his position, he will not feel dissatisfied. What surprised him was that on the way out, he dared to see Huaying. At this time, there were a few friends beside her, scanning back and forth in the team, trying to find Gu Zheng's position.
Most of their eyes were focused on the male soul in front. After all, Gu Zheng could not transform into a woman. In that case, he could not hide it at all. Occasionally, they would also scan the back.
However, with their eyes, it was obviously impossible to find the hidden Gu Zheng, even Hua Ying was the same, with a little anxiety between her eyebrows.
"What do you want to see me for? I'm at the back." Gu Zheng did not forget that he had promised Hua Ying's conditions, so he asked directly through voice transmission.
The nineteenth elder in front turned his head slightly, and then turned back, not ready to ask again. Anyway, he hadn't left yet, and those little guys might have something to do.
"Don't forget that you owe me a condition. Even if you leave, as long as I see you again, you must agree."
After waiting for Gu Zheng's voice transmission, Hua Ying glanced behind and looked at Gu Zheng who also looked at her directly and avoided her. She was surprised at the other party's change, and when the other party passed by her, she still whispered quickly.
The speed was so fast that except for Gu Zheng who was prepared, no one else could hear it clearly, and at most thought she was complaining.
After seeing Gu Zheng nod slightly, she suppressed her emotions and discussed with others where Gu Zheng's position was. It was not obvious that she had known Gu Zheng's position for a long time, but she was still discussing it with others seriously. No one could see that her acting skills were so good.
Gu Zheng did not expect that the guy came here to wait for her for this matter. He would not break his promise without her saying anything.
As for the opportunity to meet, I am afraid there will be another time. When he comes next time, he will not be alone at that time, and there will be a chance to meet at that time.
As the team walked out of the yard, Gu Zheng could feel countless eyes coming from outside the moment he went out, because just outside the door, several black-armored guards stood there openly, not caring whether others could see them, and staring at them covetously.
What made Gu Zheng relax was that these guards looked like the predecessors of the ghost general, but they did not rush over. They just observed them repeatedly, but Gu Zheng, who was naturally unable to disguise himself perfectly, walked out safely.
Those guards did not continue to follow, but still stopped outside and continued to stare at the people coming out.
Gu Zheng knew that the other party was just exerting pressure. He was afraid that Gongcheng did not rely on them to catch Gu Zheng. The final test was to wait until they got out. After all, except for them, it seemed that no one would go out for a long time. What worried him most was whether Wen Tianhou would stay at the door to catch him. If so, he had no confidence in avoiding the other party's detection.
Walking on the wide road, as he got closer and closer to the other side, Gu Zheng felt his heart rise to his throat. The moment he saw the door, he completely relaxed, because there was no Wen Tianhou there. As for hiding around, he did not think he could make the other party so careful. He could only say that the other party did not come at all.
Of course, Gu Zheng could not see any fluctuations outside. Like the male soul of the mirror demon next to him, he followed calmly.
The monsters in the air did not change much from before. Basically, every time he went out, he had the same lineup. At least the pomp was indispensable. The only change was that the members who followed were different every time.
At this time, the huge city gate was now mostly covered by the barrier, leaving only enough space for five people to walk side by side in the middle. In front of them, there was Lord Cheng who had been waiting for a long time, with several of his subordinates, waiting for their arrival.
And next to them, there were actually two silver ghost generals, also standing next to them. If anything happened, their strength was enough to suppress this place.
Gu Zheng saw the other party's unfriendly eyes and kept scanning here. He was thinking of a monster in the air. He didn't expect the other party's strength to be so terrifying. These were the few peak Daluo he had seen, not to mention the enemies he hadn't seen yet. It was simply a monster in the air. No wonder the demon souls here, from top to bottom, didn't seem to have any anxiety about the outside world.
If it weren't for the range here that restricted them, the Soul Alliance and Lone Peak over there would not be able to survive no matter what. Under the absolute strength, no tricks could shake it, and no matter how many low-level warriors there were, it would be useless.
Soon the walking speed here slowed down, and the leading fourteenth elder had already taken the lead to meet them.
