The Final Gamble

Zhou Zheng didn't think too much about it, and soon he threw himself back into the frenzied work of breaking the restrictions.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another three years Past.

Three years later, on this very day, suddenly, a series of lights shone on the Array Diagram leading to the third layer of the world.

In the blink of an eye, nearly thirty peak Dao Lord appeared simultaneously within the third layer of the world.

Compared to when Ji Ning and Sect Master Jiu Chen left the Second Layer World, the number of peak Dao Lord has not changed much, except for one less person.

However, the missing person is Dao Lord Feiqi, not the Wine Saint!

"This is the third layer of the world!"

One by one, the peak Dao Lord surveyed their surroundings. Soon, the figure of the Realm Spirit Pu Luo appeared and explained the rules of the third layer of the world to them.

"Only one passage can be used per person?"

Many peak Dao Lord looked towards the deepest part of the central passage at the same time. They could all see that Zhou Zheng and his Avatar were frantically attacking something.

"Just as the Wine Saint said, the Dao Lord Cheng Tian is still inside the passage. This is a good opportunity!" Most of the peak Dao Lord narrowed their eyes slightly, while the remaining few made up their minds after a little hesitation.

Compared to the Dongming Jade Talisman, nothing else matters.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Many peak Dao Lord flew out of the central passage at the same time, and then began to study the "Life Technique" method there.

At this moment, anyone with eyes could see that these peak Dao Lord wanted to enter the middle passage, and their target was most likely Zhou Zheng was the only one inside the middle passage.

At this moment, Ji Ning was in the left passage, saw this scene and was immediately startled.

"Master, something's happened to you!" Ji Ning quickly reminded Zhou Zheng.

"I saw it!"

Zhou Zheng's voice came through; with such a commotion, it would be hard for him not to see it.

"I asked Li Xing Palace Master and the others, but they didn't say anything!" Ji Ning followed up, "Master, these peak Dao Lord have indeed joined forces!"

"Don't worry, your Ultimate Sword Dao includes ' Assassination Sword Techniques,' and I also have ways to protect myself!" Zhou Zheng smiled.

"Master, your Avatar can easily be destroyed instantly in this confined space!" Ji Ning warned. These were more than twenty peak Dao Lord, and it wouldn't be difficult for them to cover a certain area together.

Within the three passages, it is impossible to fly above the Abyss; there is only a small, narrow stretch of land.

"That's true."

Zhou Zheng's gaze narrowed slightly, but he wasn't too flustered. He wasn't limited to just one method. Besides, this was only in theory. Whether it would actually work in practice depended on the actual situation.

"Master, if you leave the middle passage now and join forces with me, dealing with these peak Dao Lord shouldn't be a problem!" Ji Ning suggested again.

"No need, I have a backup plan, enough to deal with them!" Zhou Zheng directly transmitted his voice. "You can focus on cultivating the Dao Heart method!"

"Master."

Ji Ning wanted to say something more, but Zhou Zheng didn't respond. Instead, he contacted Dao Lord Xiaomeng and Dao Lord Yan Hu.

The two of them were also among this group of peak Dao Lord.

"What happened in the Second Layer World?" Zhou Zheng asked directly.

"Dao Lord Cheng Tian, is this considered a request of yours?" Dao Lord Yan Hu asked.

"No!"

Zhou Zheng directly denied it.

"It's very simple. The Wine Saint realized he couldn't escape, so he shifted the blame onto you," Dao Lord Xiaomeng said directly.

As Dao Lord Xiaomeng spoke, Zhou Zheng quickly understood what had happened in the Second Layer World.

The Wine Saint hid in the Second Layer World for only three years before he could no longer hold on.

Therefore, he used an extremely insidious and Strange Object to kill Dao Lord Feiqi in an instant.

Of course, the death of just one Dao Lord Feiqi might only temporarily intimidate others, but to scare away many peak Dao Lord is just a pipe dream!

How precious is Strange Object capable of instantly killing peak Dao Lord? The Wine Saint could produce one, could he produce a second? Even if he had a second one, could there be a third?

Even the peak Dao Lord would risk their lives for the Dongming Jade Talisman.

The Wine Saint didn't expect to scare away all the peak Dao Lord with a single Strange Object. He took advantage of the moment when all the peak Dao Lord peak Dao Lord stopped fighting and began negotiating with them.

He made Life Oath to help the other peak Dao Lord obtain two Dongming Jade Talisman within three thousand years, or he would voluntarily hand over the Dongming Jade Talisman he possessed.

As for the method, it would naturally be to seize it from Zhou Zheng or Ji Ning.

Of course, Ji Ning and Zhou Zheng are not easy to deal with. One is skilled in assassination swordsmanship, and the other can Sea Transformation Avatar. The Original Body Clone can switch at any time, making it difficult to even attack his main body, let alone hurt him.

Most importantly, Zhou Zheng's strength was also incredibly terrifying, a fact that Dao Lord Xiaomeng and the other three tested with their "lives".

Under these circumstances, the other peak Dao Lord would naturally not easily believe that the Wine Saint could help them with this matter.

However, the Wine Saint revealed Zhou Zheng's situation in the third layer of the world and proposed a way to break his "Myriad Shadow Avatar". Many peak Dao Lord found it reasonable and finally stopped.

After all, there is only one Dongming Jade Talisman to deal with the Wine Saint, but two could be obtained to deal with Zhou Zheng, and the method proposed by the Wine Saint is indeed feasible.

Even if he fails, after three thousand years, the Wine Saint will inevitably have to hand over his Insight Jade Talisman.

There's no harm in doing either way, so why not?

Then, this scene unfolded.

"The Wine Saint's move to shift the blame was truly brilliant. Of course, the fact that I have two Dongming Jade Talisman is also a key reason!" Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment and quickly understood many of the details.

For example, the reason why the Wine Saint knew about his situation in the third layer of the world must have been because the Dao Lord Hei Xiao and the other person who had entered the third layer of the world before told him.

For example, the Life Oath by the Wine Saint was actually to postpone his own "death date". If he could not help the other peak Dao Lord obtain the Dongming Jade Talisman on his body, then he would have to hand over the Dongming Jade Talisman on his body. Under the Life Oath, the Wine Saint could not possibly disobey.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Zheng Zhengxuan asked, "Did the Wine Saint kill Dao Lord Feiqi because he knew Fei Qi had nothing left to save his life?"

"No, Fei Qi is just unlucky to have been chosen by the Wine Saint!" Dao Lord Yan Hu said in a deep voice, "The Strange Object used by the Wine Saint is extremely terrifying. Even if Dao Lord Feiqi still has his life-saving items, he might not be able to withstand it!"

"In other words, neither the Wine Saint nor the other peak Dao Lord know that your treasures have fallen into my hands!" Zhou Zheng nodded.

"You want us to betray you at this crucial moment?" Dao Lord Xiaomeng asked directly. He wasn't stupid, so he could immediately guess Zhou Zheng's thoughts.

But he and Dao Lord Yan Hu had made Life Oath beforehand, so he had no choice but to do it now.

"If the situation becomes critical, we will indeed need your help!" Zhou Zheng didn't say anything more. He didn't trust Dao Lord Xiaomeng and Dao Lord Yan Hu, but he still believed in the Life Oath.

Besides, this is just a safety net; he may not actually need the two of them to help.
