Chapter 1962

Although there is no change between day and night here, everyone still has an extremely accurate schedule in their hearts.

The next morning, Mrs. Xue had someone invite Gu Zheng to come over and go to the fourth floor together.

There is no need to gather to go to the fourth floor. There is a temporary reception platform in every place to send them up.

At this time, Mrs. Xue changed her white dress that had not changed for thousands of years, and put on a layer of close-fitting armor. She looked heroic and handsome, and you can vaguely see her scenery in the past.

"It seems that you are ready." Gu Zheng said with a smile.

"What preparation or not, it's just an extra layer of defense. I'm afraid of death." Mrs. Xue heard Gu Zheng's praise and smiled bitterly.

"Have you settled your child?" Gu Zheng asked as he saw that Pan Xuan did not hold the little guy as usual.

"Miss Pan has been settled. Wait until everything is over, and then go to pick her up, otherwise it will be too dangerous outside." Mrs. Xue glanced at Pan Xuan and said.

"Don't worry, that place is guarded by secret methods. Even if it is discovered, it will take a day to break through and face the peak of Daluo." Pan Xuan also explained to Gu Zheng, and it seemed no different from before.

"Well, otherwise you can go back and rest. Seeing that you can break through at any time, you can be stable for two days. Maybe you can directly succeed in the promotion." Gu Zheng glanced at Pan Xuan and said with some worry.

"It's okay, I can break through at any time. I just do it on purpose now. Maybe I can teach the enemy a lesson at a critical moment." Pan Xuan was stunned, looking at Gu Zheng's concerned eyes, and smiled slightly, and then said as if nothing had happened.

Gu Zheng saw Pan Xuan's persistence and did not persuade her again, but he felt that Pan Xuan had a special feeling now, which seemed to be more agile than before. Unlike before, he felt that there were some things weighing on his heart. It seemed that the other party probably figured out something and let go of revenge, so he was happy for her.

When they rushed to the second floor, the subordinates who had stayed below also rushed to the fourth floor. There was only one passage, which was crowded with people. The sound of cursing was endless, but no one stopped to argue with each other. They were all squeezing up to find a more advantageous position.

When waiting for Gu Zheng to come out from the inside, they found that a simple transparent shield had already been raised. The original four arenas were gone. Instead, there was a huge space below. There were simple seats that had been prepared around them, which were enough to accommodate all the personnel.

Some subordinates who arrived early were waiting outside, bragging to the people next to them about who was the most powerful, and arguing endlessly.

When Gu Zheng came up, there were specially arranged people over there to take them to the special viewing stand. Most of them were already waiting there, so they were late.

"Madam Xue, you are late." City Lord Bu said with a smile when he saw Madam Xue and her group.

"I thought I was early enough, but I didn't expect everyone to be earlier than me." Madam Xue looked around. Except for Ruochen, there was another person who had not arrived. The others had already arrived and sat aside, smiling.

"Everyone is bored, I guess Luo Alliance Master will be here soon." City Lord Bu said enthusiastically.

While Madam Xue was greeting the other party, Gu Zheng also looked around and saw the arena below, which was like a gladiator. He frowned. Although the space below was hundreds of feet in size and spacious enough, it still gave people a feeling of being watched by others, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

While observing, Ruochen and another person also walked towards this side side by side. After meeting Gu Zheng's gaze, they also nodded slightly, looking like they were nodding and greeting Madam Xue.

Gu Zheng felt from the other party's gaze that the other party was ready, but he didn't know how the other party could leave here quietly.

The two of them had just sat down with their dozen subordinates, and City Lord Luo and his trusted assistant Wang Cheng flew over from a distance.

"It seems that I came very early this time, and I am also late." City Lord Luo looked at everyone and made a small joke. Seeing that everyone followed and laughed, he also began to talk about business.

"Although this time it is only a battle of the early stage of the Golden Immortal, necessary measures are still taken. A detection protection has been set up below. Once the power exceeds that, it will be automatically kicked out."

City Lord Luo's words are reasonable. After all, it is a competition. The meaning behind it is to let the respective city lords fight for a little face in the end. However, this disappointed everyone in Gu Zheng, because in this way, they can't open the internal defense, and kicking out will also alert the opponent. Simply stop talking.

No one objected. City Lord Luo naturally knew, and then continued, "For defense, everyone can only be in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal. Even if you are fine, once you are attacked, I will watch from above and force the judgment of the victory or defeat. Please pay attention."

While City Lord Luo was talking about the rules, the shield below had disappeared. Those subordinates rushed down their respective platforms, occupied good positions, and excitedly waited for the start.

After all, the period of peace lasted too long, and everyone knew how powerful the other side was, but they had never had the chance to see it. Even though there were rumors this time, due to the venue, they could only compete with the cultivation level of the early Golden Immortal, which made them somewhat disappointed.

Even though their performance has dropped a lot, they can still get something out of it, and everyone can understand that it is an internal competition after all.

"If you don't have any objections, everyone will be ready to take the stage after half an hour. We are here to fight in pairs. We can be divided into eight groups, and the winner will be determined in one round. In this way, there will only be eight people in the second time. These eight people Among them, after the draw, there will be three battles, three wins and two wins. After two rounds, there will be four people left. Then each person will fight the opponent twice, and the two with the highest wins will be counted. Finally, in the decisive battle, what do you think. "

“This way everyone can pay a little more attention to it.”

City Lord Luo simply stated the order of the battle, which was unexpected and childish, just like a joke. The first battle ended quickly, but the second battle seemed a little blurry, and there was obviously a delay.

However, no one objected, and instead nodded in agreement with City Lord Luo's proposal.

"Of course there are still rewards. The winners of the first round will all get a batch of high-quality black cores."

Hearing this, no one else had any reaction. After all, a group of black cores really had a great symbolic meaning to them.

"The second batch of rewards are more precious. In order to reward everyone who fought bravely, I took out four more precious magic weapons. As for what they are, you will know after the rankings fall."

This time, everyone was a little moved. It turned out to be four magic weapons. The precious magic weapons heard by Lord Luo were probably not ordinary magic weapons.

But soon everyone calmed down. Although their expressions were excited, they understood in their hearts.

Anyway, the rewards will be given out at the end, maybe even if you don’t make it to the end, new changes will happen.

"The reward for the final championship is this crystal core in my hand. Under certain conditions, I can find a way out of here."

City Lord Luo took out a crystal core filled with bright silver light. It was covered with a transparent shield, and you could clearly feel that it was filled with space power.

"Of course, this effect is most suitable here. Once it is activated in the outside world, it can form a layer of space shield, which can escape from some special places, and even consume the power inside to escape directly." Luo City Lord explained with some regret. .

It is true that this thing can only be called a real life-saving thing in the outside world, but it is basically useless here, but it is worthy of being the most precious magic weapon.

The crystal core immediately escaped from Lord Luo's hands and flew towards the sky. Finally, it slowly stopped in mid-air, like a bright star, which was very conspicuous in the air and attracted the attention of many people.

Even though many people don't know what it is, they can still feel its dignity.

"Okay, let's start the drawing of lots. Relax a little and treat it as an entertainment competition within our Soul Alliance. After the drawing is completed, I will invite the first one to go down with a stick of incense." Lord Luo said cheerfully from the side.

Sixteen black rays of light were flying in the air disorderly, and as the city lords took action to grab a black light, they revealed small balls of different colors inside.

A total of eight colors, small balls of the same color, serve as opponents in the first game, and the order of appearance has been filled in above.

"The third red!"

Mrs. Xue looked at the small ball in her hand, then looked to the side and found that it was another city lord. The other party happened to be looking at her, and he also had a small ball with the same red number three written on it.

The two smiled slightly, then turned their heads.

The other party is neither from this side nor that side, so it can only be described as a good or bad situation.

Gu Zheng removed his eyes from the small ball above and looked around, calculating how much time it would take if everything was over.

Originally there were four arenas, and it was estimated that it would be over in one day, but it seems that something happened to the demon souls outside, and they need to delay for a while. For them, it is also good news.

Perhaps, if the first place on my side is one of my own, I can find a way to ask for the first place reward from the other party. After all, for the people here, that thing is not as useful as the bottom prize.

The former can only be used to appreciate oneself, but the latter can be used to reward his subordinates a little.

The time of a stick of incense passed quickly, and the first battle that everyone was looking forward to finally began.

Below, there is a subordinate of the city lord who belongs to Gu Zheng's side, and another subordinate of the city lord, already standing below.

No matter what his strength was in the past, he has now restrained his aura. He was only in the early stage of Jinxian's cultivation and began to prepare for battle. In mid-air, Wang Cheng was suspended in the air and acted as a referee. After taking a look around, he ignored the messy surroundings. In the sound of discussion, he spoke to the two people below.

"In the battle below, there are no other rules except what the alliance leader said. If you lose, you can admit defeat at any time. There will be no winner for three hours, and I will decide the winner."

The two people below nodded to the top at the same time, and then looked at their opponent solemnly. Although they could only use this strength, in a certain way, it was enough to test the opponent's level.

It was the first time for the two to fight against each other, but they had heard each other's name before. After all, being sent down also represented the face of their respective city lords. They were basically good players under their respective subordinates. Even if they lost, they would not lose badly.

The two people didn't say much nonsense and attacked each other almost at the same time.

While the battle was going on below, the people above were not idle either. Everyone took the opportunity to chat with the people around them in a fake way. From the atmosphere, everyone was harmonious and friendly, without the previous conflicts, and they became a close group again. However, no one could see through the little thoughts in each other's hearts, waiting for the opportunity to come.

The subordinates watching below were also arguing heatedly, because most of them didn't know what was happening above, thinking that the world would be balanced in the future, so they were naturally in a mood to watch below, occasionally arguing with the people next to them with red faces, saying that their family was the strongest.

The few who knew the inside story followed everyone to make a fuss, and at the same time paid attention to the changes in the surroundings at any time. Once they received the order from their city lord, they began to panic and might kill a large number of these so-called "enemies" at the first time.

Gu Zheng was also watching the battle below, but he felt a little boring. Even though the two people below had perfectly exerted the strength that could be exerted by the early stage of the Golden Immortal, the restrictions of the venue and the rules really made them not very emotional. Watching the game below was not as good as listening to the hypocritical conversations of the city lords.

Everyone's acting was very realistic. From the surface, no one knew what they really thought, but Gu Zheng knew that they still had some advantages.

After all, this side was ready to go all out, and the other side only knew that this side was a little alert, that's all. As long as they were involved, when the demon souls outside attacked, it would be the end of these people.

The first battle ended not long after the battle. The people here took advantage of a flaw to attract the opponent's adventurous attack, and narrowly won the first victory.

Amid the cheers around, the winner flew up with a smile, and even slowed down strangely in the air, turning around to accept those shouts. After all, in the last adventure, he was almost eliminated by the opponent. After a while, he returned and stood beside his city lord with some pride, looking at the loser provocatively on the side.

On the other side, the loser looked depressed, like a mouse, and fled back quickly from below. Even his city lord was a little gloomy. After all, he lost and felt inferior. Looking at the provocation from the side, he just frowned and started talking to the familiar people.

"Okay, prepare for the second game."

The second game was between Ruochen and the subordinate of the city lord Fan. It was still quite predestined. Gu Zheng also looked over to see what the red-haired young man had.

Ruochen's subordinate was a demon soul. When he came down, his whole body was covered with a layer of black mist, blocking the outside from looking in. This made the red-haired young man have no idea what form it was under the black mist. However, he knew that the demon soul's body was sometimes ever-changing, but he was also proud. When it started, he transformed into a weapon and rushed up directly.

When the battle started here, outside the Leiyin Fortress, some plans that had been prepared long ago also began to act.

In a city that was temporarily abandoned, most of the people inside had been taken to the main city for refuge, but there were still a few guards left behind. Their role was to maintain the city and prevent some scoundrels from killing and destroying it. Once there was an attack, they would follow the orders left by the city lord and take the final action.

Surrender to the other side.

In fact, they did it very thoroughly. When a group of unidentified people entered here, they surrendered wisely. Regardless of the identity of the other party, they were imprisoned in the ban on the side, which was considered to be under house arrest. The whole city was taken over by them.

And they were not afraid at all. They had past experience. After all, even if the fighting between the soul alliances was fierce, they would not kill the imprisoned captives in general. Moreover, their strength was not strong. It was also for that reward. If one day their city lord came back, they could get an extra reward.

Just as they were still lying leisurely outside an open prison, those people dressed in black appeared outside them.

"Lord Soul, how should these people be dealt with?" A person standing on the side said to the black-robed man standing in front.

"These people?" Zhu Hun lifted his robe, revealing his face, and looked at the tallest enemy who was only in the early stage of the Golden Immortal, with a trace of disdain on his lips.

"You can't break the rules, otherwise you are openly defying the Soul Alliance."

There were leisurely prisoners inside, feeling the wrong breath in the air, and one of them was also panicked. He stood on the edge and said to Zhu Hun, trying to dispel the other party's dangerous thoughts.

"Stay, what's the use of these people? Even if they know our identity now, it's useless to run away. Stay until later, maybe the King of Heaven will be useful." After carefully looking at it for a while, Zhu Hun spoke coldly.

Although his value was too low and the other party looked down on him, he still left a life, which made the prisoners inside very fortunate. Fortunately, the other party still paid attention to the rules of the Soul Alliance, otherwise it would be in vain to die.

Just now, they thought that the scale of the battle had escalated, and even these unspoken rules would be broken. That would be useless for them.

"Lord Soul, there is news that the elders of the Illusion Clan took a small group of people and left for the east. We found traces of the other side's battle there, including some of our people and people from Gai Jin's side, all of whom disappeared there! Initial suspicion is that Gai Jin took people to wipe out the things you asked him to investigate before. Now there is only a huge pit left there."

On the way back, one of the black-robed men hurried out and said to Zhu Hun.

"Those strange people? I don't know where they came from. It seems that I did underestimate the other side based on those few people. But now it's not that the Soul Alliance or Gufeng finds them. You go to the side to add some people and go there to completely surround the other side."

"Notify them, the whole army advances, this time we must strike the other side in one fell swoop."

"Yes!"

As Zhu Hun gave the order, the team that was delayed for two days because of the disappearance of the Illusion Clan came out from the abandoned cities one by one, and in some hidden underground, the puppets that had been sleeping for who knows how long began to roar and wake up.

A huge encirclement surrounded Leiyin Puppet City.

There is no escape!
