Chapter 1946 (1/2)
After a long queue, Gu Zheng and his party who successfully passed the test can finally go deep into the fortress.
Everything in this is very strange to Gu Zheng.
Although the whole fortress looks very shocking from the outside, it seems to be forcibly divided into several parts inside. At least there is a layer of wall not high above the head. It feels very narrow. There are layers of low rooms on both sides of the road.
Most of them are empty, no one lives at all, and there is a feeling of imprisonment.
”The first floor here is almost abandoned. It is a place where various arrays are engraved. As long as someone sits inside, the external defense array can be activated.”
Fang Jie saw Gu Zheng's doubts and explained.
When he said this, Gu Zheng immediately understood, but he couldn't see the detailed structure through the thick gray layer.
”We're going to the third floor. The second floor is for our less important subordinates to live. The second floor is for the city masters. Very important people can live there. There's no big difference between the two environments. After all, this is a defensive fortress. In fact, it has been abandoned for many years before it was urgently used.”
”Gathering here this time also makes everyone remember the original intention of the soul alliance, adjust everyone's tension these days and ease everyone's contradictions.”
Fang Jie saw that Gu Zheng didn't seem to know anything about it, so he simply explained to the other party. As he spoke, he took Gu Zheng on the way to the second floor.
Everyone here knows what he said, and he doesn't know what he doesn't know.
Tell me, this side has stepped into the second floor from the stone ladder on one side. They still need to go through most of the area to the third floor.
As soon as I came in, here and the first floor seemed to be two worlds. Although they were monotonous stone houses, most of them were already inhabited, at least much cleaner than below. The sound of chatting, laughing and swearing, as well as angry drinking and quarreling seemed boiling.
However, there was a lot of noise here, but no one dared to fight. Even if they pointed to each other's nose with a red face and were about to fight, they were very restrained. After all, most of the cultivation accomplishments here were very strong. At first glance, they were the elite of the City masters. They really fought, and the damage was very serious.
This is a dead order. There must be no fighting.
Moreover, Gu Zheng also found that there were many demon souls among such a group of people. Although the other party turned into a human, no one could see the breath on his body.
These are the smarter demon souls. They sneak here from there. After all, the demon soul is not a puppet. It is impossible to listen to all the words there.
”It's impossible to fight here. Anyone who dares to fight will be dead, but the challenge arena on the fourth floor above is also the place for everyone to compete next.” Fang Jie pointed to the side and said.
As he spoke, the two quarrelling people seemed to have reached a consensus. They went straight and angrily to the distance, and disappeared here in the twinkling of an eye.
”If they fight in private, they will not die. At most, they will vent. They are not allowed to be seriously injured. This is the above provision.” Fang Jie pointed to the two men and said.
Gu Zheng nodded silently, followed each other's turn and walked towards another place.
Although the space here is narrow, the area is very huge. After walking a lot of distance, we came to a different place.
Here is an empty bottom. Countless white spars illuminate here, which is much brighter than the space where only yellow light shines before. The light seems to be mixed with special effects. Anyone who wants to be invisible and try to get close to here can't escape the light.
Here is a nearly right angle stone ladder with only enough dents on one toe to make it convenient for some weak people to go up.
Nearby, there are several guards also standing here. The head is a red haired demon soul. There is the beginning of Da Luo's cultivation. I don't know why they ran here. Next to them are four golden immortal peaks stationed here together.
”Warrant!”
The red haired demon soul saw Gu Zheng them, and there was no unnecessary nonsense. He directly stretched out his hand and said to them.
Fang Jie came forward and handed over a copper coin. The other party simply checked it, threw it back directly, and made way for the road at the same time.
When I said the order to proceed, I didn't expect it to be this token. It's really a big surprise. It seems that it's even more difficult for anyone here to muddle through. There is no password at all, and this is the only entrance to the third floor.
After coming up easily from below, the scene is different from below.
The whole space is many times larger than that below. Even the height is more than ten feet high. There are not those dilapidated stone houses around. There are spacious courtyards in two rows one by one. Although it is much smaller than the outside world, there seems to be some.
There is a strong smell in many courtyards. I'm afraid they are the city masters who have come here.
Gu Zheng believes that this place must not occupy a large area, and other places are the real role of this fortress, but I'm afraid he can't see it now.
Fang Jie is familiar with the road and leads Gu Zheng to the side, which makes Gu Zheng feel too relieved. If he comes in and wants to find pan Xuan, he may waste a lot of time and effort.
After a few turns, they had come to a yard that looked similar outside. Fang Jie directly went up and knocked on the door. Soon the door was opened. A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes put his head out and said in surprise when he saw Fang Jie and them.
”You didn't go out on a mission. Why did you come back so soon? Who is this man?”
”There were some accidents, but the task was completed. This is Mrs. Xue's friend. I can't come back without him. I want to see Mrs. Xue now.” Fang Jie smiled bitterly and said.
”Hurry in, madam. They are in the living room. I'll inform them.” the man opened the door and ran in immediately.
”Come in, there is no safer place than here.” Fang Jie said to Gu Zheng, and then ordered his sister.
”Fang Yu, send them down to have a rest first. I'll go to the front hall with the old master.”
”OK, I'll wait for you in the back.” Fang Yu nodded and walked to one side with his companion.
At this time, in the largest living room in the middle of the house, Mrs. Xue sat in a spacious chair with her sleeping child in her arms, with Pan Xuan beside her.
Opposite them, a man who looked like a handsome god frowned, as if something was bothering him.
”What should I do? There is not enough preparation here, and the other party is coming.” Pan Xuan looked at the other side and said angrily, ”now even childe Feng can't solve it.”
”Am I so unbearable? Everything ready for sacrifice is ready, but there is still a lack of key things.” childe Feng glanced at Pan Xuan and said with some annoyance.
”It's better to say something. If I can help, I will go all out.” Mrs. Xue said softly.
Now she has fully mastered her husband's power, and the loss is minimal. It is Pan Xuan who has made such great achievements. It would be good if she could master one third only by relying on him.
That third is not enough to make her safe. Maybe it is still a sweet cake in the eyes of others. Although she knows that everything the other party wants to do will be useless on her own side when their plan is successful, she doesn't care.
Because the other party has promised her that she will not only be kind to her strength, but also not dissolve. At the same time, she will take more care of her children and let her take care of her children safely.
After all, with the strong power of the Shura family, Mrs. Xue really didn't see the power in her hands. During this period, Mrs. Xue gave great help to pan Xuan. Even under her hand, the other party would send out to die to strengthen the blood sacrifice. She would agree without hesitation.
