Chapter 2025

"See? I have successfully broken the opponent's defense."

At the edge of the giant tree outside, the excited voice of the brush kept ringing, and he kept showing off his strength.

Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen looked at each other and roughly understood the opponent's strength. As expected, it was at most the destructive power of a peak golden immortal. It took all his strength to break the defense in front of him, which indirectly showed that there was not much strength below, otherwise how could it only have this level of defense? Of course, it is also possible that the opponent is waiting for them below, after all, it is their home court waiting for them.

Tang Qing, who followed secretly behind, looked at the excited brush flying all over the sky with a surprised face. He didn't expect that the strength of a spirit brush was countless times higher than his own.

"Okay, stop shaking, there are many enemies waiting for you to favor below, hurry down and explore the way." Gu Zheng shouted at the brush.

He originally wanted to wait for the other party to stop on his own initiative, but found that if he didn't stop him, he might have to continue flying for a while, and the other party could reactivate the defense at that time.

He could imagine that the brush would definitely take the initiative to break it, then get excited, and then recover, and repeat this process until the other party is tired of it.

"Don't worry, leave everything to me. Don't force yourself. Let me lead you to victory this time." The brush accelerated and floated in front of the giant tree. At this time, there was an extremely wide entrance, which was tilted towards the ground.

"Please."

Gu Zheng made a gesture, which really satisfied the other party's huge vanity. He was bright all over, like a golden light bulb, and went down first, not only exploring the way but also illuminating the surrounding environment.

"Little rabbit, leave quickly, don't let others catch you next time." Meng Zhen bent down and let the other party fill a pill in his mouth, saying.

The little rabbit looked up at Meng Zhen, and his pure eyes were full of gratitude. Then he spread his limbs and ran towards the grassland outside. Animals growing in the wild are more or less spiritual.

Meng Zhen and Gu Zheng walked into the other party's nest together.

"Master Tang, the other party has come to the first layer of space above. Should we send some people to stop them?"

In the core area at the bottom, Tang Li looked at the image in the air. There were figures of Gu Zheng and others on it. They had already stepped into a wide space. A subordinate asked beside him.

"Have our people evacuated?" Tang Li said lightly.

At this moment, they didn't know how the other party's cultivation was, but since they dared to break in, even a magic weapon could break the outer defense, they must have at least the strength of the peak of the Golden Immortal.

Although there were many people here, most of them had limited strength, including himself. There were only a few people at the peak of the Golden Immortal. The others were very weak and just helped. Their combat effectiveness was basically not high.

Of course, it was not their turn to go out now. There were some traps on the road, which were enough for the other party to drink a pot, and he had more important things to do.

"Everyone has come down, and there is no one of us outside." The subordinate answered loudly.

"Prepare to activate the formation. We must delay the opponent's pace at all costs." Tang Li immediately gave the order, but stopped the subordinate who was about to leave, "Wait a minute and invite him over."

Of course, this subordinate knew who Tang Li was referring to, and immediately responded and retreated.

Tang Li shifted his gaze to the top again, watching the other party stop and let the brush start to find a mechanism to move forward. Then he lowered his head and opened his palm. A small light and shadow appeared on his palm again, and a figure that made him extremely worried appeared in front of him.

The other party was outside the tree hole at this time, carefully following, with a hesitant look on his face, as if he wanted to go in, but also didn't want to go in.

He looked at it with a gentle face, thinking in his heart, don't come in, as for the others who didn't come back, whether they were alive or dead, he didn't care at all.

"Master Tang, are you looking for me?"

The old man was just about to take a rest when he was summoned by Tang Li. He hurriedly and carefully came over. When he came here, he saw the picture above at a glance. His heart suddenly sank. That figure was carefully coming over. He just wanted to stop her a few days ago and almost ran away. How could he forget it? He really didn't expect that the other party would actually chase him.

"Well, look at these two people to see if they are the ones who were looking for you before." Tang Li clenched his hands calmly, and the picture above also dissipated. He carefully came over.

When he saw his daughter, he knew that the other party did not follow the old man, but his daughter brought them here. No wonder he knew that there was something wrong with the tree directly, but he needed an excuse, a perfect excuse to put the blame on others.

"Yes, I didn't expect the other party to really come here." The old man had a bitter taste in his mouth. He had done what he could do. It could only mean that the other party had some kind of magic weapon that could track him.

But even if he was seeking justice for ordinary people, he would not barge in so carelessly. Was he really not afraid of encountering an unmatched enemy, or was he confident that he had superior strength?

"Do you know the opponent's strength?" Tang Li turned around and looked at the old man and said.

"We didn't fight, but there was a terrifying pressure coming from the opponent, which made me choose to escape at the first time, but I think the opponent has at least the strength of the peak of the Golden Immortal." The old man said carefully.

His strength was only at the early stage of the Golden Immortal. Apart from his blood escape secret technique, he was not outstanding in other aspects, so he naturally could not see through their strength.

"Then why did the other party follow you? Not to mention that the other party found this place by chance and then directly confirmed that we were here." Tang Li stared at him and questioned.

"Master Tang, I don't know either." The wrinkles on the old man's face were even more densely packed together, and he looked even older.

Every time he performed blood escape, his entire appearance would age a few years. After all, it consumed the essence of life. Otherwise, if he escaped normally, Meng Zhen would be able to catch him in time even if he was stunned for a moment.

"Don't know? Forget it, since the other party has come, you will be in charge of the last layer of the magic circle, kill the other party, and make amends." Tang Li turned his head and continued to look up, saying without even looking.

"I obey your order!"

Even if the old man tried his best not to go, he had no way to do it now. He didn't even have room to resist, not to mention that this time it was really his fault.

After the old man left, Tang Li opened his palm again. At this time, Tang Qing outside seemed to have made up her mind and was ready to come in.

Tang Li sighed, and then a water curtain rose outside the giant tree again. Although it was obvious that the defense was far inferior to before, it was not something that her weak daughter could break. She ensured that the other party could not come in at all. Only in this way could she follow him carefully.

After doing it, he closed the images in his hands and in the sky without even looking at them, and turned around and walked behind him.

He had a premonition in his heart that everything outside could not stop them at all, and he had to be fully prepared.

Soon he crossed this empty area and came to a core. This space was extremely large, no smaller than a city. Except for him, no one else could come in.

The ground was no longer all mud like before, but stones of different colors, the same size, crisscrossed, and arranged in a staggered manner, making the ground look dazzling, like a chessboard across the ground.

In some stones that are bigger than houses, some people with dull expressions are sitting inside. The colors of the stones themselves are rising outside, like a prison, imprisoning the other party inside.

In fact, that is how it is. The minds of these people have long been controlled, just like a dead person, working tirelessly day after day as a mana extraction machine every day and night until death.

The old man was so scared just now because he was afraid that Tang Li would directly attack him and throw him in there, and he would have no chance at all.

The people inside are not only their own people, but sometimes they will go out to capture some outsiders and keep them in a secret room nearby. When needed, they will extract the other party and replace them with a touch of consciousness.

However, one person can persist for a long time, and they will occasionally go out to capture a few.

In this vast space, there is an ancient altar.

The entire altar is dozens of feet high, surrounded by layers of milky white stone steps, extending to the ground for hundreds of times.

At the top, on a plane of more than ten feet, there is only a silver round stone pillar with a small hole at the top. A wisp of mist flows out from the surface, forming a small piece of white mist in the sky. A thumb-sized white bead can be vaguely seen floating in it.

This is the really important thing, which is a necessity for the Demon God to restore his strength.

Only the pure and low mana of the human race can transform the power in the bead little by little after a complex transformation.

This power is extremely pure, and no matter whether it is a human, demon or fairy, it can be carefully absorbed and become a part of its body without any incoordination.

It can restore the power of the Demon God, which shows how huge the mana is inside. Unfortunately, this transformation is useless in a hurry. It must be ground down little by little. There is no other way.

The human mana absorbed will be injected into it through the hidden small hole next to it, and finally form the mist above.

"How is it now?" Tang Li said to the only person who was looking after it as soon as he entered.

At this time, his face was pale, as if he had never seen the sun, and his body looked very weak. His clean face was expressionless, and he looked dead to everyone. Although this person was not strong, and even had only the cultivation of a celestial being, he was indeed sent by the Demon God himself to observe the situation here all the time.

"In a few years, it will be almost completely successful. Is there something happening outside?" The Demon God's confidant asked back.

"Yes, our people outside encountered a group of self-righteous people, but the other party deliberately let the other party go and followed them all the way. They just broke in. I have arranged people to stop them, but I think the other party is strong, and we may not be able to stop them." Tang Li said frankly, "Tell the truth."

"You have the master's clone, and you still have this idea, so it seems that you have hit a wall this time." The confidant's face, which had not changed for thousands of years, finally showed a little surprise.

Here they have prepared to be found, but they have always been very low-key, so a few righteous people have not found this place. Fortunately, this time the plan has come to the end.

"But we have basically succeeded here. As long as we use the last resort, we can complete it ahead of schedule, but there are some minor flaws." The confidant told him the current situation.

"Then let's do the second plan. We still have some backup people over there. If the other party fails, we will at most waste a little more time. If the other party rushes in, we will be sent directly back to the Demon God. There is no way to deal with this small flaw. We can only let the Demon God work hard for a few years and eliminate it with his own power." Tang Li said directly.

The current situation has to do this. In a word, it is better to be afraid of one than ten thousand. It is not a pity for them to die, just don't delay the Demon God's business.

If they succeed in stopping the other party, they can also pull up a team to replace them. At most, it will take a few more years to continue polishing.

If they don't prepare in advance, when the other party comes here, they may not have time to teleport away, and it will also take some time in the middle.

"Of course, then I will ask Lord Tang to take care of the outside, and I will take care of the inside." The confidant nodded and said.

"I will definitely fight to the death and stop the other party outside."

Tang Li said solemnly, and then left here directly.

After he left, the only entrance was covered by a black fog, completely blocking the outside from entering. Only those who thought it was safe could open it by their confidants.

Then Tang Li returned to the previous position. At this time, there were already two people waiting for him. They had the same cultivation as him. They were the last line of defense here. They looked up at the situation outside together.

"It was just a maze, and I broke it easily."

In the empty hall above, the proud voice of the brush sounded again. Looking at the passage opened by him, the feeling in his heart was needless to say.

He yearned for a life of fighting and killing the most, instead of writing orders in the house all the time. He had no chance and no ability before, but now he has both and he has to do everything first.

"You are great, so let's keep moving forward. I guess you can solve everyone with just a pen." Meng Zhen stretched out his hand appropriately beside him, giving him encouragement.

"Haha, you are the only one who knows me. I will lead the way. I will leave your enemies for you to deal with alone." Mao Bi laughed, and without waiting for Meng Zhen to answer, his body shone brightly again, and he walked into the passage. He was full of motivation now and didn't want to delay for a moment.

"This is a good opportunity. I will help you appropriately. You must grasp it well." Seeing this, Gu Zheng smiled at Meng Zhen.

"Hehe, I knew you would help me. After all, you are my confidant." Meng Zhen smiled and followed Mao Bi.

Gu Zheng was speechless when he heard it. It was just a stopgap measure to go in and get information conveniently. It couldn't be taken seriously. He also knew that Meng Zhen was joking. He chuckled and followed in.

They left this place not far away. There were a lot of cover formations here. It seemed that it should prevent people who happened to pass by from above from discovering the mystery below. He just found the entrance when he came in, but it was a little delayed, so Mao Bi looked for a while.

This is the only exit and entrance, so he is not afraid that the other party will run away, which will put more pressure on the other party.

Of course, he also saw that Meng Zhen wanted to subdue the brush and use it for himself, which could greatly enhance her strength. Except for the brush, who didn't know it, everyone could see it. It was just tacitly accepted. After all, the other party was left there, which actually meant that his original owner and him had run out of fate. Now the brush is free.

In addition to his own specialness, ordinary people really can't master the brush containing the power of the jade seal. Even if some people use it as an ordinary magic weapon at most, it would be too wasteful.

After the initial pressure didn't work, the strategy was quickly changed, which greatly brought their relationship closer. Now the brush no longer rejects Meng Zhen, but needs the other party's flattery. The two people look very close. After all, a person does anything, no matter how good it is, if no one appreciates it, it is useless.

And this time, it is a good opportunity. The danger here is not high, and it can be used as a careful place.

Soon they came to an empty place again. This place was different from the one above. There were four huge passages around, and no one knew where they led to.

The brush that came down earlier was still looking around, trying to distinguish which one was the real way to the other party's core, but in his opinion, these four passages were almost the same and could not be distinguished at all.

"You came at the right time. Come and see which one is the right way. I am really not good at finding this." When the brush saw the two of them coming down, he immediately came up to them and said.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look." Gu Zheng said to the brush, and then his eyes lit up with a golden light and began to look around.

Soon he retracted his gaze, his face pretended to be embarrassed, and he held up his chin and pondered.

"Did you find it?" Meng Zhen said very cooperatively.

Even if she just glanced over, she knew which one was the right way. Not to mention that there was an obvious trace of that one, which was obviously a passage that was often taken, not to mention that there was a dangerous atmosphere there, and there was obviously a trap waiting for them inside.

"No, this place is complicated and obviously well-prepared. If we want to find the other party, it will take more effort." Gu Zheng shook his head carefully.

"But there are only four passages here, why not try them one by one and seal off the exit passage? In this way, it will only take a little more time." Meng Zhen made a suggestion.

"Not bad, this is a good idea. I really didn't think of it. It seems that you are indeed smarter than us. Mr. Gu, you block their retreat, and I will do the rest." Mao Bi knew that Gu Zheng was powerful, and he had to admit that he dared to be so unscrupulous because of Gu Zheng. Otherwise, if he was alone, he would never be so domineering. There is a difference between having a backer and not having a backer.

The former had some accidents, and Gu Zheng helped him. The latter, if there was no accident, would really die. So when he was waiting for Gu Zheng alone on the mountain, he didn't leave that place at all to prevent accidents outside. He still had some self-knowledge in this regard.

He likes to show off and brag, but it doesn't show that he is stupid.

"Okay, see which one you choose."

Gu Zheng also re-sealed the passage behind him to ensure that the other party would not be able to open it without several years of effort, and said to Mao Bi.

"The left is the most important, the right is the second, so start from the left." The brush rotated a circle, and then the tip of the brush pointed to a hole.

"No problem, you can lead the way in front." Meng Zhen said directly.
