Chapter 1960
"I wonder what City Lord Liu thinks? This question is also very important." Gu Zheng saw that most of the people below had blank faces, but City Lord Liu frowned, as if he knew something.
When others heard what Gu Zheng said, they also looked at City Lord Liu.
"Yes, I know a little about this aspect. You have to know that I am a demon soul myself. Although I am completely separated from that side, some people think that I can still fight for it. A long time ago, City Master Duan and I were still very good friends. Until One day, the other party came up and said that he had found a good place and wanted to work together to open a way out of here. "
"It's just that I thought it was a whimsical idea at the time, so I flatly rejected him. From that day on, our relationship began to deteriorate. I just know this."
City Lord Liu said slowly.
Although he was still dubious and came here for the soul alliance, but Gu Zheng was able to know this information, which made him feel that the other party might not be telling false news.
"Why didn't I know about this plan?"
"I don't know either. It hasn't even spread."
"Did they really find a way out of here?"
After City Lord Liu finished speaking, several other City Lords became less calm, even the female demon soul.
Such a huge plan is definitely not something that one or two city lords can accomplish, or even keep a trace of it from being revealed. Since that group of people are carrying out the plan in secret, it will definitely not be beneficial to the Soul Alliance, otherwise directly gathering all the power will be more effective than sneaking up. Be strong.
Even if they think there is no hope of getting out, they will not give up if there is hope in front of them.
"I remembered it. No wonder City Lord Duan asked me to collect something a long time ago. Although that thing was not very precious, it was extremely rare here and I didn't want it anymore." Another City Lord also suddenly thought of it.
"Don't tell me, there was something I couldn't find for a while. I needed to build a soundproof array. I heard that it was all taken away at a high price, but after that period of time, it was found again."
"Everyone, listen to me, because I was outside and sealed this passage with my own hands, and the residual aura on the opponent's body is not very different from that on the demon soul." Gu Zheng looked at the discussion below, and spoke loudly, The voice was suppressed.
"And when everyone gathered earlier, I felt that aura from some people again, in the Soul Alliance, and I'm sure it's not just a few of them."
"Although what you said is right, I still feel that it's a bit of a fuss. It's not that I don't believe you, and it's too absurd." One of the city lords suddenly said.
Gu Zheng knew that it would be difficult to convince the other party just by relying on his own guesses and some superficial evidence, but he could not let the Soul Alliance fall so quickly. From Pan Xuan and Mr. Feng, he also knew the meaning of the existence of the Soul Alliance, even if it could be stable After this time, there is not enough power to open the passage, which can also allow Shura to buy more time.
Of course, it was also for myself and Elder Gu.
"You can think about whether the sudden battle that broke out some time ago was without any reason, and whether the so-called contradictions could have caused such huge losses. In fact, there was no mediation by the alliance leader, and except for a few people, everyone did not I will continue to fight with the other party.”
"And just when you were all about to explore the reasons, City Lord Luo sent people to summon everyone. Even a few days ago, he used a tough attitude to force you to negotiate. Although it can be seen as the other party's attempt to make up for the situation. But it could also be a strategy.”
"And you only brought a few elites with you this time, and the rest of the people gathered in their respective territories. I said that if something happens to you and you are killed in one fell swoop, then the soul alliance will be gone. Even if a few people escape, To no avail."
"Also, let's be careful. If there is no problem, then it is best. If there is a problem, it is for the sake of the Soul Alliance. There is no loss. At most, it will be a little trouble."
Gu Zheng said so much in one breath that all the city lords below began to think. None of them were fools. They were just trapped in the situation and couldn't see clearly outside. They didn't notice the strange things. But after a little nudge, They were all thinking quietly.
"Gu Zheng, there is a demon soul outside who says he is looking for you, and there is also a junior who paints the soul with him. He says he knows you."
Gu Zheng took a deep breath and was about to continue throwing out his evidence when Pan Xuan suddenly came in from outside and said to Gu Zheng.
"Know me? A member of the Painted Soul Clan?"
Gu Zheng was also puzzled. He didn't say whether he knew him or not, but this place was blocked, so how could the other party come here.
"You ask the other party to wait for me first. I'll be there in a moment." Gu Zheng said to Pan Xuan.
The most important task now is to convince these people. Otherwise, if we wait for a flank attack from inside, this place will fall in such a short time. If not even one person escapes, then it is very likely that the Soul Alliance will be taken down without any blood. .
Even if they run away a little, the Soul Alliance can completely disappear. Those captured Soul Alliance people may be brainwashed into puppet-like existences, and the Soul Alliance will no longer have any restraints, and they can let go and do some things.
"I want to wait for you, how long will it take?"
Just when Pan Xuan was about to leave, a small figure suddenly emerged from the ground and complained to Gu Zheng.
"Why are you here! Are you alone?"
Although Huaying appeared without warning and almost no one noticed why he appeared here, her appearance surprised Gu Zheng even more.
Pan Xuan was talking about a Huahun clan member, but it turned out to be her. Who were those two demonic souls? More importantly, why did she come here to find him.
"Why can't I come? Something big is going to happen. That guy Wen Tianhou has sent people here. Thank you for leaving with me. I can take you out safely, as well as all of us Huahun, except me and We haven't gone back and are under house arrest in the palace. I want you to help us sneak out." Huaying looked anxious, speaking as if Gu Zheng helped them and they would be safe.
"Also, Sister Mengzhen, there is some dirt in her body. See if you can get rid of it."
"How could I sneak so many of you out from under his eyes when you can't handle the matter?" Gu Zheng said helplessly upon hearing this.
"Why can't you? Go to Little Thousand Worlds and bring back my sister Mengzhen. I think you can do this."
Huaying acted like it was a matter of course that you could do it, which made Gu Zheng not know how to talk about it. He didn't even have that much confidence.
"I said the other party came in, but if you still don't believe it, just don't be angry, Mr. Gu."
"Who knew that that little guy had such a good relationship with Master Gu, and that he was so good at shadow skills that he simply slipped home? To be honest, he let us catch him on purpose. Did he want us to escort him?"
At this time, Pan Xuan, who saw that Gu Zheng knew this little guy, walked in with Yan Ge and Yan Yue.
"Master Gu!"
The two siblings walked in front of Gu Zheng and greeted him respectfully.
"Originally, we noticed your aura coming back, so we came to look for you. We met this guy on the road. We thought he was a little guy who was running away. We wanted to protect him and send him back, but we found that he was still looking for you, and then he led us here. ." Yan Yue pointed at the painting next to her.
"Thankfully, we have her, otherwise we wouldn't be able to enter this place. There are demon spirits everywhere outside, almost surrounding the place like an iron barrel." Yan Ge added at the side.
They didn't have the slightest doubt about Gu Zheng's return. They even learned from Huaying's mouth that Meng Zhen had been rescued by the other party, but they were just a little emotional. After all, the other party was so easy to create impossible things.
"Okay, I still have some things to do now. Let's do this. Pan Xuan, please lead them to the small living room next to me. I will be there in a minute." Gu Zheng also wanted to talk to the other party in detail, but he was not allowed to do so now. He just let them go first. They wait for themselves to say it.
"Okay, hurry up, I'll wait for you over there." Huaying looked at the room full of big shots as powerful as elders, and knew that the other party was doing something serious now.
"Come with me." Pan Xuan said from the side, "How did you get in? Isn't it blocked by demon spirits outside?"
"There are indeed a lot of people, but we can't stop them here, let alone those people. However, we came from the southeast side, because there seemed to be fewer people there, and there were no strong people sitting there, so it was easy to come here." Ying thought for a moment and then said.
"Okay, let's continue talking."
As the door closed again, the small secret room lost the silver light from the outside world, and a mysterious atmosphere emerged in the atmosphere. Seeing everyone looking at him with various strange eyes, Gu Zheng still spoke.
"To be honest, I kind of trust you and believe what you say." At this time, the female demon soul spoke.
"A member of the Painted Soul Clan, a traitor to the water demon, you even went to the Small Thousand Worlds and rescued a Painted Soul Clan member. Although I think you specially arranged this for us to see, but as you said, regardless of us, Whatever you do, it only consumes some energy, and spending more time will not bring any loss. "
"If you need me to do anything, just tell me. As long as it's not too much, I, Ruochen, can agree to it."
The female demon soul Ruochen made a promise to Gu Zheng and then sat down again.
"I also support you. The Little Thousand World is not where anyone can enter if they want, and whoever wants to can come out. I admire you for this. I can see that no one from the Painted Soul Clan is lying."
City Lord Liu still knew a little bit about the situation in Xiaoqian World, not to mention that only the water demon seemed to be able to go there, and yet he actually came back from there.
What Gu Zheng didn't expect was that the second person who supported him turned out to be City Lord Liu, which made him overjoyed. Although the other party was a demon soul, as a complete betrayer, he could not defect to the past again. The alliance has a huge reputation.
Sure enough, after City Lord Liu expressed his support for the newcomer Gu Zheng, several city Lords here, after a brief hesitation, directly expressed their support for Gu Zheng. Only a few city Lords have not yet expressed their stance, but looking at the changes on each other's faces, they obviously also There will be almost no objection.
Gu Zheng did not expect that the arrival of Huaying and the others would have such a big impact, saving him too much money and time.
"This ancient friend, although I support you in my heart, I still have some doubts. I would like to invite your friend over. If possible, I am just curious about some things outside." A city lord who did not express his position said.
"It doesn't matter if it's abrupt. In fact, I quite agree with your approach."
"It doesn't matter, I'll invite them back now. They are all my friends and they won't mind." Gu Zheng thought about it quickly and then said.
"I'll go. If I miss anything, just tell me again." Madam Xue took the initiative to stand up and take on the simpler task of running errands.
"Then thank you for your trouble." Gu Zheng nodded.
"When they come back, if you have anything you want to know, just ask directly. You can also tell whether he is true or false. Now everyone supports me, so I will ask a question. With the power you have here now, how long can you support it?" Gu Zheng waited until Madam Xue left before asking.
"With our power alone, we can probably only deal with the power hidden here by the other party. Some of the other party who don't know that their city lord has rebelled will also obey the other party's orders. It's too easy to find an excuse." City Lord Liu knew Gu Zheng's plan as soon as he heard it, and shook his head and said.
"It's too late to go out and notify them now. The competition will start tomorrow. If the guess is correct, the other party will definitely use this to attract our attention, and let the demon souls outside come closer and launch a surprise attack more easily. There are other people responsible for guarding this fortress." Ruochen interrupted.
"But we also have advantages. Although such a long time has passed, the maintenance of the fortress has been done by someone. I am the humble servant. I can ensure that the fortress is completely in a state of waiting to be activated. As long as there are people, the defense formation can be activated, at least some time can be bought." Another city lord who had been silent spoke at this time.
"This is simply the best news." Gu Zheng couldn't help but say.
Originally, I thought that the shabby appearance of this place must be maintained by the other party, but I didn't expect that it was not the other party's people.
"This news is not very good. After all, we have too few people. If the other party ambush a large team, it may not help." The city lord in charge of maintenance said.
Everyone thought of a problem at this time. Now they don't have enough manpower, and all their ideas are useless.
If they leave now, they probably can't escape the siege of the other party. These three days are enough for the other party to surround them. Of course, there is also a possibility that what Gu Zheng said is not true. Although it feels a bit self-deceptive, there is always luck.
In case something happens to the other party, it is not impossible to cause some accidents.
"If there are not enough people, just pull them from your own city." City Lord Liu broke the silence and said something that puzzled everyone.
"Your subordinates should be in your respective main cities."
"That's for sure. After all, that's the only place where our defense is the strongest."
The so-called main city is the original city of each city. At that time, there were wars and chaos, and the defense of each city was extremely strong. The branch cities built later basically had no defense function.
Everyone said that their teams were in the main city, and even in a state of combat ready to take orders at any time.
"That's good. I'm afraid you don't know that this fortress has other functions, and this function is only known to me and the previous two leaders. That is, in an emergency, you can contact your respective main cities, and even spend a lot of power to let the other party stand in the same square as you, and then teleport over."
City Lord Liu's words were like dropping a heavy bomb, which stunned everyone, and the air fell into a strange silence.
"No wonder every main city has the same square in the center, and most of the defense cores are placed there. It seems unreasonable, but even if the city is besieged at a critical moment, there is still a glimmer of hope." Ruochen said thoughtfully.
Her voice was not loud, but in this quiet environment, everyone could hear her words clearly.
"So that's it!"
The other city lords suddenly realized that they only knew the defense center of the main city, but they didn't expect it to have other functions. Even almost all of their teams gathered at the edge of the square.
"If that's the case, then our mission can be strengthened enough. Not only can we defend it, but we can also suppress those who are resisting." Gu Zheng said with some joy.
"We can't be so optimistic. If the other party really does this, they will definitely block some areas. Most of the people here are still on the side of the alliance leader, and we can't alert the enemy. If people don't come and something goes wrong, then we're dead." City Lord Niu said beside him, pouring cold water on everyone.
"Yes, we can't split ourselves tomorrow, so we can only let our men do it, and we have to activate it smoothly, which is simply too difficult." City Lord Liu also said with difficulty.
"Leave this to me. Anyway, we are just spectators in the competition. I have a way to get out. I can force my people to break in and notify the main cities everywhere, but I need everyone to trust me so that your people can trust me and come here smoothly and obey my orders." Ruochen stood up at this time and said confidently.
"There is no problem with this." Other city lords said that they still have this measure.
"I have some additional energy over there, which can allow you to extradite those people smoothly. I will give it to you after the end, and I guarantee that there will be no problems."
"There is another problem. Now all of you are identified by Madam Xue as the Soul Alliance's own people, but I believe that among the unidentified people, there may be people who are unaware. The other party has not seduced many people, otherwise they would not go through so much trouble to implement this plan." Gu Zheng looked at everyone and said, and at the same time threw out City Lord Duan, including City Lord Mian, and City Lord Fan, and determined that the other party must be the other party's people.
"If this is indeed a bit difficult, once they get in, the damage they cause will be too great, but the team behind them is also the manpower we need. The demon soul will never use only a few troops. Since they want to take the opportunity to eliminate us, they will definitely attack fiercely. We may not be able to hold on relying on the Thunder Sound Barrier City." City Lord Liu seemed to have forgotten his identity and frowned.
These problems appeared one after another, but if they were not solved, the consequences would be unbearable for them, so they had to be carefully demonstrated.
