Chapter 1952

After a long queue, Gu Zheng and his party, who successfully passed the test, were finally able to go deep into the fortress.

Everything here is very strange to Gu Zheng.

Because although the entire fortress looks very shocking from the outside, it seems to have been forcibly divided into half inside. At least there is only one layer of wall above the head. It feels very narrow. On both sides of the road, there are layers of low walls. Room.

Most of them are empty, no one lives in them at all, and they have the feeling of being in a prison.

"The first floor here is almost abandoned. It is a place where various formations are engraved. As long as someone is sitting inside, the defensive formations outside can be activated."

Fang Jie saw Gu Zheng's confusion and explained from the side.

When he said this, Gu Zheng understood immediately, but through the thick layer of gray, he couldn't see the detailed structure inside.

"We are going to the third floor. The second floor is for our less important subordinates to live. The second floor is for the various city lords. Only very important people can live there. There is not much difference between the two environments. , after all, this is a defensive fortress. In fact, it has been abandoned for many years before it was put into emergency use. "

"Gathering here this time allows everyone to recall the original intention of the creation of the Soul Alliance, and at the same time, it can relieve everyone's tension these days and ease everyone's conflicts."

Fang Jie saw that Gu Zheng didn't seem to know anything about this place, so he simply explained it to him. While talking, he led Gu Zheng to the second floor.

Everyone here knows what he said, and even those who don't know don't know either.

Tell me, they have already entered the second floor from the stone stairs on the side. They still need to pass through most of the area to reach the third floor.

As soon as you come in, this place and the first floor seem to be two different worlds. Although they are also monotonous stone houses, most of them are already occupied by people. They are at least much cleaner than those below. There are sounds of chatting, laughing and cursing, and The shouts and quarrels seemed to be heated.

However, there is noisy here, but no one dares to make a move. Even if they point at each other's nose with a red face, and they are about to fight, they are very restrained. After all, most of the cultivations here are very powerful. At a glance, they are the masters of various city lords. If the elites really fight, the damage caused will be very serious.

This is a death order, and there must be no fighting.

Moreover, Gu Zheng also discovered that among such a group of people, there were many demon souls. Although they transformed into human beings, the aura on their bodies could be seen by anyone.

These are the smarter ones among the demon souls, sneaking here and there. After all, the demon souls are not puppets, and they cannot listen to everything they say.

"It's impossible to start a fight here. Anyone who dares to take action will be doomed. However, the fourth floor above is the arena where people can understand their grudges. It is also where everyone will compete next." Fang Jie pointed to the side and said.

Just as he was talking, the two people who were arguing seemed to have reached a consensus and walked away angrily towards the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"If they fight in private, no one will die. At most, they will vent their anger. They are not even allowed to be seriously injured. This is the rule above." Fang Jie pointed at the two people and said.

Gu Zheng nodded silently, followed the other person's turn, and walked towards another place.

Although the space here is narrow, the area is very huge. After walking a long distance, I came to a different place.

This side is an empty bottom. Countless white crystals illuminate this place. It is much brighter than the previous space where only yellow light shines. The light seems to be mixed with special effects. Anyone who wants to be invisible and tries to get close here , can't hide from the light.

There is an almost right-angled stone staircase with only some indentations on it that are just big enough for one toe, making it easier for people with weak cultivation to go up.

Next to it, there are several guards standing here. The leader is a red-haired demon soul. His cultivation is in the early stage of Da Luo. He doesn't know why he ran here. Next to him are four peak golden immortals, stationed here together.

"Warrant!"

When the red-haired demon soul saw Gu Zheng and the others, he stretched out his hand and spoke directly to them without any unnecessary nonsense.

Fang Jie stepped forward and handed over a copper-colored coin-like object. The other party checked it briefly, threw it back, and moved out of the way.

He was talking about the password, but he didn't expect it to be this token. It was really a big surprise. It seems that it is extremely difficult for anyone here to get through. There is no password at all, and the entrance to the third floor is only This one.

After easily coming up from below, the scene is different from below.

The entire space is many times larger than the one below. Even the height is more than ten feet high. The surroundings are not those dilapidated stone houses that are barely habitable. There are spacious courtyards lined up in two rows, although they are much smaller than the outside world. , but everything seems to be there.

There are powerful auras in many courtyards, probably from various city lords who have already come here.

Gu Zheng believes that the place where he lives must not occupy a large area, and other areas are the real function of this fortress, but I am afraid that he cannot see it now.

Here Fang Jie led Gu Zheng towards the side with a familiar road, which made Gu Zheng feel too worry-free. If he came in and wanted to find Pan Xuan and the others, he would probably waste a lot of time and effort.

After a few turns, they arrived at a courtyard that looked similar from the outside. Fang Jie went up and knocked on the door. Soon the door was opened. A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stuck his head out. When he saw Fang Jie and the others, he was very surprised.

"You went out to perform a mission, why did you come back so soon? Who is this person?"

"Some accidents happened, but the mission was completed. This is Madam Xue's friend. I can't come back without him. I want to see Madam Xue now." Fang Jie smiled bitterly and said.

"Come in quickly. Madam and the others are in the living room. I'll go and inform them." After the man opened the door, he immediately ran inside.

"Come in, there is no safer place than here." Fang Jie said to Gu Zheng, and then instructed his sister.

"Fang Yu, send them down to rest first. I will go to the front hall with this senior Gu."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the back." Fang Yu nodded and walked to one side with his companions.

At this time, in the largest living room in the middle of the house, Madam Xue was holding her sleeping child and sitting on a spacious chair, and Pan Xuan was beside her.

Opposite them, a man who looked like a god frowned, as if something was bothering him.

"What should we do? We are not well prepared here, and the other side is coming." Pan Xuan looked at the other side and said in a bad mood, "Even Master Feng can't solve this problem now."

"Am I so unbearable? The things prepared for sacrifice are ready, but the key thing is still missing." Master Feng rolled his eyes at Pan Xuan and said with some annoyance.

"Whatever it is, you might as well tell me. If I can help, I will do my best." Mrs. Xue next to her said softly.

She has now completely mastered her husband's power, and the loss is minimal. Everything depends on Pan Xuan and others to achieve such a huge victory. If it depends on him alone, it would be good to master one-third.

That one-third is not enough to keep her safe, and it may still be a sweet potato in the eyes of others. Although she knows that everything the other side wants to do will be useless after their plan succeeds, she doesn't care.

Because the other party has promised her that they will not only treat her power well, but also will not disband it. At the same time, they will take good care of her and let her take care of her children safely.

After all, with the Shura clan being so powerful, Mrs. Xue really doesn't care about the power in her hands. During this period, Mrs. Xue gave Pan Xuan a huge help. Even if the other party wanted to send her subordinates to die to strengthen the blood sacrifice, she would agree without hesitation.

That was a real confidant. After hearing the order, he did not hesitate at all and took the order directly, even if he knew it was to die.

"If you can help, I would have asked long ago and would not be polite to you, but your power is not enough to help. If it is really possible, the entire Soul Alliance will barely be enough." Mr. Feng said unceremoniously.

"The entire Soul Alliance? I really can't do this, even the leader can't do it. After all, one-third of the Soul Alliance is demon souls, and the other party is self-contained. Maybe it can only be done when it was first established." Mrs. Xue shook her head and said.

This is a self-awareness. Not to mention the nearby, even Wen Tianhou can't fully control the race he created.

"Yes, so I said it's too late. According to the information I got, the other party will soon take advantage of this opportunity to attack you. It's a pity that most of you don't believe it." Mr. Feng felt deeply regretful about this and couldn't help but sigh again.

"Why is it too late? Now everything is ready. When they die in the end, we can summon many tribesmen and start to arrange, bring our own people back little by little, and when we accumulate enough power, we can summon our predecessors. When the ancestor comes, everything will be unobstructed. It was planned at the beginning, so why did an accident happen?" Pan Xuan asked in confusion.

Mr. Feng came here alone a few days ago to understand the situation and discuss some measures, but she didn't know the specific actions. After all, they had been in single-line contact before, and this was the first time they met after separation.

"You don't know this. Plans can't keep up with changes. Let me explain it to you in detail."

Mr. Feng listened to what Pan Xuan said. That was the original goal, but now the situation has changed.

"You also know that if the ancestor wants to force his way over, there must be enough power here to open a channel for him. We are not like you, who can temporarily summon the ancestor's phantom with the help of some conditions, so we must gather enough clansmen."

Pan Xuan nodded. She had to admit that she had an extremely huge advantage, but after summoning once, it is estimated that it will not be used again for tens of thousands of years.

"Then, we summon, erode, and continue to summon little by little. This takes too long, and accidents are inevitable. You must know that the one here will not watch us compete for his territory, although the method he uses is too simple and crude, and can only occupy a small center."

"If the other party takes action personally, it is too dangerous for us here. Even if there are other reasons, we can't take action personally. Facing the attack of the demon soul, our energy will be greatly involved and it is easy to be defeated by the other party. It is still a good way to have the soul alliance to help us attract attention before. At least we can hold on until we have enough power to resist."

"But now, the other party is going to take action against the Soul Alliance." Mr. Feng stood up and looked outside the door, "These humans and demons who came here for no reason in the first place, as well as the traitors among the demon souls who longed for me, the other party We have already taken action. During the investigation, the other party discovered our existence, but they still mistakenly believe that we come from the depths of the Black Prison."

"Once they discover our true identity, it is impossible for the other party to leave us alone. Without the soul alliance, we would not be able to grow up smoothly."

At the end of the sentence, Mr. Feng's tone became serious. As a rising star, he was valued by many people in their clan, including the ancestor, and he knew many situations.

The prehistoric world at this time is no longer the original prehistoric world, and the Shura clan's previous behavior style made them countless enemies, and the ancestor rarely went out because of this.

A pair of weapons that are not stained by cause and effect, have been silent for an unknown amount of time for the Shura clan. At this time, they have some hope of resolving their grievances and allowing the Shura clan to survive forever.

This is the lifelong wish of every Shura tribesman, even if it costs their lives.

They have seen races that are too powerful, even more powerful than them, and have foundations, all disappearing in the long flow of time, and they are also at the center of this trend.

Their glorious days have passed, and they must lurk and wait for their time to rise.

The situation is different now. If we really keep going step by step, we are very likely to fail. I am afraid that such a good opportunity will never come again.

"Is there any way?" Pan Xuan felt Mr. Feng's helplessness and was surprised in her heart, as if this was the first time she saw him, and she felt unsure.

"Yes!" Mr. Feng perked up, "That is to use huge power to forcefully tear open a hole and let all the people gathered there come over, directly skip all the previous steps, come to the last step, gather strength to ask the ancestors , At that time, even if the other party is trying to stop us, it is impossible for him to stop us personally. "

"This time, the ancestor sent in a weapon first, with a clone of the ancestor engraved on it. Although it can only be used once and the price is very high, it is enough to deter the opponent." Mr. Feng said word by word.

"But we can't gather such a huge force!" Pan Xuan thought of what she had said before, instantly understood the problem and couldn't help but say it.

"Yes, and we can't use the existing power." Mr. Feng sat down again and said, "These demon souls are still human beings. Once they die, we can extract the power inside. The problem is, we don't have any magic weapons. We can collect these powers. If our own blood pool is placed here, it is possible, but even a blind person can know our plan, which is a pity. "

This is the source of Mr. Feng's sighs and worries. Once the two start a war, the escaped power will be wasted. It is a pity that such a good opportunity has been wasted.

"No way. Isn't that the team under me is to help you attract each other and eliminate the enemy you are tracking first?" At this time, Mrs. Xue also understood something from it and said with some surprise.

She really thought that the other party would send her people out to die, and then give the other party an address so that they could gather together and catch them all.

"Of course not. If my arrangement is correct, I will ask you to find a way to get the envelope deliberately so that the other party can get it. There is no need to ask anything else." At this time, Mr. Feng also gave the other party a strange look, not knowing what the other party said.

After all, the other party also made him feel some pressure in terms of investigation. If anything was reported during the investigation, it would be a disaster, and by the way, the other party would become the cornerstone of the first reinforcement.

"It turns out that I didn't understand it clearly, and it killed them."

Mrs. Xue knew that the other party would not lie in this regard. Looking back on what the other party sent someone to relay, it seemed that this was also the case, but she mistook what the other party meant and said a little sadly.

This team is her confidant, and she is really reluctant to part with it.

But she didn't know that it was their desperate protection that made the other side feel no suspicion at all.

Pan Xuan and Mr. Feng were also stunned. They understood what the other party meant and did not expect that the other party would do this. Before they could say anything, an attendant came outside and shouted loudly.

"Mrs. Xue, Fang Jie and the others are back."

"Um?"

This time it was the three of them's turn to have doubts at the same time, and they all felt that the other party had failed in their mission.

"Come in, I just have something to ask him." Although it is a good thing that the other party is not dead, the key is whether the task is completed.

The attendant went down, and soon two steps approached from the outside.

Pan Xuan looked at the door casually, wanting to see what news the other party brought and what happened during the period, but the moment she looked, her whole person froze, and her body even stood up subconsciously.

Mr. Feng took a glance and saw the somewhat familiar figure, and had no other unnecessary thoughts in his mind.

He had received personal instructions from his ancestor, and of course he knew that the other party had become an outsider. This was the key. For him, Gu Zheng was just a friend he could use, and after the matter was over, the other party left voluntarily.

"Mr. Gu, I didn't expect you to come so soon. I was about to arrange for someone to wait for you at the door. Why are you together?" Mrs. Xue was stunned when she saw Gu Zheng's figure, and then asked.

"Mrs. Xue, it's a coincidence that on the way here, I happened to encounter them being chased by someone, and then I helped them drive them away. But the other party was really brave and left this place. Take action as soon as possible."

Gu Zheng glanced at Pan Xuan first, then shook his head slightly towards her, and then saw Mr. Feng next to him. This was the first time he had seen him. He was indeed a talented person, but slightly inferior to him. Seeing his arrogant demeanor, he Turning his eyes, he came to Mrs. Xue, glanced at the child in her arms, and then replied.

"If it weren't for Senior Gu, we would really have died this time. Even so, Si Ruo would have died, but our mission has been completed." Fang Jie said guiltily from the side.

"Don't stand at the door first, come in before we talk." Mrs. Xue probably understood that although sacrificing one person is still better than all of them dying, please invite the other person in before talking.
