"Chief, are we really letting him go?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng had really left, the few Gold Immortals became anxious and hurriedly went forward to say that this was not just letting him go, but also agreeing to the other party's conditions. Although the other party's conditions were not much, when would the Witch Race be forced to agree to other people's conditions?
"This kid's Dharma treasure is too powerful. Although his cultivation is low, he is very difficult to deal with. Especially his long-range killing methods, they are impossible to guard against. If we don't agree to his conditions, do we really have to gamble with more than 100,000 lives of the Wu Tian Tribe?"
The Wu people's chief shook his head gently. Gu Zheng's ability to kill people at will had really frightened him. Although there were not many people, who knew how many people Gu Zheng could kill with this method?
He did not dare to take the risk or block him. Moreover, he had already attacked and failed to stop the other party. He had also been seriously injured.
Right now, their biggest enemy was still the Goblin. It was not suitable to make another strong enemy. If this person allied with the Goblin, it would be a disaster for the Wu people.
At this moment, the Wu people's chief did not know that Gu Zheng would never ally with the Goblin. The Goblin had also suffered great losses at his hands. Two Jin Xian had died, which was one more than they had on their side.
After running to a deserted mountain, he found a cave and set up an array. Gu Zheng then started to regulate his breathing and meditate.
Adding on the fact that he had been flying all this time, Gu Zhengyi had used up 90% of his immortal energy. He needed to stop and rest. Thankfully, he had achieved his objective. Additionally, Gu Zhengyi had miscalculated something.
The Book of Life and Death could not be used indefinitely. Just hooking 300 people had used up half of its energy, and the consumption of these 300 people was gradually increasing.
In other words, the first few people did not feel anything, but the later ones, the more energy was consumed. In this case, Gu Zheng estimated that his immortal power would not be able to hook 600 people. It would be good enough if he could hook 400 people. Perhaps this was the heavenly dao's limit on the Book of Life and Death.
Who asked the Book of Life and Death to be so heaven-defying? It could hook whoever it wanted. There was no limit. The owner of the Book of Life and Death could really kill all living things.
Gu Zheng even had a premonition that even if he reached the Quasi-Sage Realm, he wouldn't be able to attract too many people at once. He might not even be able to attract 10,000 people. Even so, Gu Zheng was already satisfied. After all, it was a powerful treasure. To him, attracting a few hundred people at once was already enough.
Three hundred at a time. A hundred times would be 30,000. How long could the entire Wu Tian Tribe withstand his bait? If the Wu Tian Tribe really dared to take revenge on the prefecture city, he would dare to bait the entire Wu Tian Tribe. At most, it would take a few years.
Seven days later, Gu Zheng returned to the prefectural city.
Seeing Gu Zheng return, Wu You and Mado heaved a sigh of relief. During the days when Gu Zheng was not around, they were trembling with fear. They were afraid that some experts would come and the whole city would be in a terrible situation. In addition, the children were all moved underground. Some of the women were also moved underground. It was fine in the first few days, but rumors started again when they were not allowed to come out.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng did not show up in the past. He only came out in times of danger. In addition, Wu You, Mado, and the rest were often outside the city to organize. Finally, the city settled down temporarily.
However, this situation could not last forever. If Gu Zheng did not return after a month, Wu You could not do anything. He could only let the children out for a few days and find an opportunity to let them in for a few more days.
"The Wu people are fine for the time being. Goblin did not come in the past few days. They will not come in a short time. You can let them out first!"
After coming back and understanding the situation, Gu Zheng said lightly. Just as he finished speaking, a rumbling sound came from the sky.
Everyone looked up at the sky. The west side of the sky was fiery red. It was already evening and the sky was slightly cold. However, with the fiery red color, the temperature seemed to have increased a little.
"This is a battle at the level of Sage-to-be. It seems that the battle between the big shots is even more intense!"
Gu Zheng sighed slightly. The Great Witch Demon War would not end so soon. The battle at the level of Sage-to-be lasted for a long time, not to mention that the two tribes were fighting fiercely everywhere. This war would continue for a while.
"Young Master, another Immortal has come to visit!"
Gu Zheng was in seclusion. Wu You came to report. Soon, one old man and three young people were brought to the main hall by Wu You.
"Old Man, Wu Liangzi. People call him Daoist Wuliang!"
The old man who came in stroked his white beard and said to Gu Zheng with a smile. He was one of the three leaders of the Human Alliance, Jin Xian's Late Stage Immeasurable Arrival.
"Greetings, Daoist Master!"
Gu Zheng cupped his fists in return. In the past, Gu Zheng would have called him Senior. However, Gu Zheng had reached the level of Sage-to-be. He could not call Jin Xian "Senior" anymore.
If the other party was a Sage-to-be, it would not matter. If the other party was really powerful, Gu Zheng could call him Junior. As for the others, forget it.
After all, he was now Gokusen, one of the future Sages.
"Last time, when Kim Myeong-ja and the others went back, they were full of praise for you. They said you were very powerful. Even the opponent's monster with Jin Xian's strength was easily killed by you!"
Wu Lizi said with a smile. Among the three youths he brought with him this time, one of them was the one from last time, and he was even the leader.
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man smiled awkwardly. He must be Kim Myeong-ja.
"You flatter me. I was just lucky. The other party underestimated me!"
"Fellow, after Kim Myeong-ja went back last time, the Old Man was very curious about the treasure in your hand. Therefore, he came here personally. The Old Man has a presumptuous request..."
"Since it's a presumptuous request, Daoist Master, please don't say it!"
Just as Wu Zizhong was speaking, Gu Zheng suddenly interrupted him, causing him to be stunned on the spot.
Before he finished speaking, Gu Zheng had already understood what he meant. He wanted to see his treasure. What was so good about it? It was used to deal with the enemy, not to show off.
Besides, who knew what he was thinking about?
"Fellow Cultivator, you can't say that. You and I are both fellow human beings. Now that the war between the Magi and the Demon Races has implicated the entire human race, I believe that none of the fellow Cultivators of the human race will stand by and do their part. I'm not that talented, but I'm already protecting millions of people!"
"Daoist Master, you are amazing. I don't have the same strength as you, so I can only protect this city!"
Gu Zheng smiled. He could guess what the old man wanted to say next. He was probably going to persuade him to protect more people. He was not interested and would not leave.
Wu Liangzi's face changed. He did not expect this kid to be so stubborn.
"In that case, the Old Man hopes that you can consider the overall situation and lend us your treasure to defend against the Goblin Race. I promise that once the war is over, I will return it to you. In addition, I will give you a Middle-grade Celestial Artifact as thanks!"
Wu Liangzi finally said his real intention. It turned out that he was here for Gu Zheng's treasure. Gu Zheng sneered in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change.
"Daoist Master, I'm sorry. That treasure is very important to me. Forgive me for not being able to lend it to you!"
Gu Zheng refused directly. He did not even want to be perfunctory about this kind of thing. Kim Myeong-ja stared at Gu Zheng and said, "Fellow Gokusen, the Goblin Race needs such a treasure to protect the people. If you are willing to go, that would be the best. If you don't want to go, you should take out your treasure and let us protect more people. That is righteous!"
"Righteous? What is righteous? Your millions of people are humans, but my 200,000 people aren't humans. Do you think my 200,000 people deserve to die just because I'm protecting your millions of people? "
Gu Zheng suddenly raised his voice and stood up.
These people, after failing to invite him, actually wanted to steal his treasures. After being rejected by him, they used the name of righteousness to pressure him. Unfortunately, Gu Zheng was not a child. He had the wisdom and experience of a later generation.
"Fellow Daoist, I know you care about the people of this city. This is benevolence. How about we think of a way to transfer the people of this city to the Immeasurable State?"
Wu Liangzi said again. Gu Zheng looked at him and his face became colder.
"Transfer? How? Your Immeasurable State is almost 300,000 miles away from here. Even if they can walk 100 miles a day, it will take at least 10 years. What will they eat and drink in these 10 years? If you want them to move such a long distance, it would be better to just kill them!"
Gu Zheng did not give him any face. He already knew the distance between the Immeasurable State and the Goblin Race. If it was closer, he would not object to moving the people of the prefecture city. However, if it was too far, he would not allow it.
People would die if they moved a short distance, not to mention such a long distance. Last time, they only reached the river, and a few people died there. This time, if they really reached the place, of the 200,000 people, only a few thousand would be left.
Moreover, traveling 100 miles a day was the best case scenario. With so many people moving together, it was impossible to travel that far. It would be good if they could only travel a few dozen miles a day. In this case, it would take 20 years to reach the Immeasurable State.
In 20 years, the young people would become old, and the old people would definitely die on the way. This kind of migration was not for survival, it was suicide. Therefore, Gu Zheng never thought of moving so many people to the Goblin Race.
"There will always be a way, but the Old Man thinks that millions of people are more important than your 200,000 people!"
Wu Liangzi shook his head and said seriously. After he finished speaking, he stared straight at Gu Zheng. Looking at his expression, it seemed like he was going to rob them if he could not be reasoned with.
"Daoist priest, you should know that if I did not want them to leave last time, none of them would have been able to leave. Why did I let them go? It was because they were all fellow humans. Moreover, they did not do anything bad then. It is the same now. Daoist priest, do not have any bad intentions. Otherwise, you will not be able to leave today!"
Gu Zheng did not care about Wu Liangzi's words at all. After he finished speaking coldly, he stood up and walked out.
"Wu You, see him out!"
"Whether he can leave or not, it is not up to you to decide!"
Wu Liangzi finally shed all pretenses of cordiality. An immortal sword suddenly appeared beside Gu Zheng's neck and slashed down heavily.
Gu Zheng's body emitted a burst of light. Gu Zheng quickly flew into the courtyard, placed the yellow gourd on the table, and quickly bent down.
"What is this gourd? Is it a treasure too?"
Kim Myeong-ja said with some surprise. Wu Liangzi also rushed out. After his attack was ineffective, he threw out a lotus-like object. The lotus immediately flew into the air and released a white silk net, which immediately trapped Gu Zheng.
However, at this time, Gu Zheng had already bent down.
"Treasure, please turn around!"
"Even if you are Jin Xian, you will not be able to move after being bound by the Lotus Silk Net!"
When Kim Myeong-ja saw that Gu Zheng was caught, he smiled proudly. However, halfway through his smile, he was stunned on the spot. Wu Liangzi's head suddenly flew up, and a stream of blood burst out from his neck.
Wu Liangzi's Primordial Spirit ran out of his body in a panic.
After losing Wu Liangzi's control, the white silk net on Gu Zheng's body immediately loosened. Gu Zheng summoned his horsetail whisk, and hundreds of white rays chased after Wu Liangzi's Primordial Spirit. Wu Liangzi's Primordial Spirit was instantly scattered in the air.
Dead. Wu Liangzi was dead. One of the three experts of the Human Alliance, Wu Liangzi, actually died just like that.
Kim Myeong-ja and his two companions were all stunned.
In their eyes, Wu Liangzi, the most powerful, the most invincible, and also their master, died just like that?
Wasn't that child already caught? Could it be that the person who was caught could still kill people?
Before they could react, Gu Zheng had already collected the fallen lotus treasure and went to Wu Liangzi's side to take his storage bracelet. Now, he had three storage bracelets in his hand. When Wu You and the others broke through to the Qi Transformation Realm, they would not be as poor as him, who didn't even have a storage immortal tool.
The extra storage immortal tools could be distributed to them.
"Senior Tie, the one who wants your treasure is Wu Liangzi. It has nothing to do with us!"
Seeing Gu Zheng coming towards him, Kim Myeong-ja trembled violently and knelt there with a plop. Gu Zheng knew that this person was very timid and cowardly, but he didn't expect him to be to this extent.
In any case, he was also an immortal. This was not the era where immortals were everywhere. In the eyes of human beings, immortals in this era were lofty existences.
"Write down your names and birth dates. In addition, write down all the important members of the Human Alliance. As long as you know them, write them down. Don't try to make up or hide anything. Once I find out that there is any falsehood or concealment, you will end up like Wu Liangzi!"
Gu Zheng said softly. This incident also gave Gu Zheng a wake-up call. Although the Human Alliance was on the same path, they were not necessarily friends. One should not have the heart to harm others, but one should always guard against others. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he had to grasp the means to prevent the Human Alliance from attacking him.
Kim Myeong-ja and the other two hurriedly wrote down, and then Gu Zheng compared them and interrogated them separately. After making sure that they did not hide anything, he let them go.
Half a day after they left, Gu Zheng opened the Book of Life and Death and gently ticked under the names of the three people.
These three people had colluded with Wu Liangzi to plot against him. Gu Zheng did not intend to let them go, but after all, they were human immortals and did not make a move. Therefore, Gu Zheng let them go. He knew their information, and with the Book of Life and Death, it meant that their lives were in his hands.
There was no difference between dying here and dying on the road. Moreover, they were all in the Qi Transformation Realm and did not have any storage immortal items. Gu Zheng did not care about that ordinary immortal sword at all. Now that he had the treasures of the Unfettered One, Wu Liangzi, and Jin San, he already had a lot of immortal items.
"This lotus treasure is not bad. Although it is a middle-grade immortal item, even if Jin Xian is controlled, he will not be able to break free in a short time!"
Gu Zheng carefully sized up the lotus immortal item. This was a middle-grade immortal item. If Wu Liangzi suddenly used this treasure before he made a move, Gu Zheng would be in big trouble.
At that time, he had not started to use the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger. Even if he had the Book of Life and Death to resist, he would not be able to fight back. It would not be long before his immortal power was exhausted. At that time, he would only be slaughtered.
The Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger could not be used smoothly, which was indeed a big disadvantage.
But fortunately, this time there was no danger, and he had obtained a lot of good treasures. Wu Liangzi's wealth was much more than that of the Unfettered One. There was more than one middle-grade immortal item, and there were more than ten low-grade immortal items. All kinds of raw materials were several times more than that of the Unfettered One. In addition, there were several bottles of immortal pills.
The quality of the immortal pills was average, but it was better than nothing. It was better than nothing.
These immortal pills could help Wu You and the others cultivate quickly. There was no other way. Wu Liangzi had a lot of immortal pills, but the quality was very poor. Gu Zheng did not care about them, and they were far better than his food cultivation.
There was not a single high-quality immortal pill. He had probably consumed them all. He was already at the late stage of the Jin Xian. If he wanted to break through to the Daluo Jinxian, he would need too much immortal power.
"Young Master, what's going on?"
When Gu Zheng was entertaining the guests, Wu You and the others were not there. When they came in, Kim Myeong-ja and the others had already left, and there was a headless corpse on the ground.
"It's nothing. Go and dispose of the corpse. Call Mado, Aunt Cui, and An Zhuo. There's something good!"
Gu Zheng paused for a moment, then went back to his room. Wu Liangzi had died in the courtyard. In a while, Wu You and the others would clean up the courtyard.
After a while, the four of them all came to Gu Zheng's room and stood in a row in front of Gu Zheng.
The position was very interesting. Aunt Cui was on the left, and next to her was Wu You, then Mado, and finally An Zhuo.
Although Aunt Cui's cultivation was not high, and was weaker than Wu You and Mado, she was the first person to know Gu Zheng. She was also the one who had been taking care of Gu Zheng. Because she was a woman, she did not show her face in public. However, no one in the city dared to look down on her, especially the women and children. They all respected her very much.
Wu You was the second person to know Gu Zheng, so he was the second in line. Mado was the third, and An Zhuo was the fourth.
After they were in position, Gu Zheng took out four jade bottles and placed them on the table.
Mado is the strongest now, so he will be given more. Also, An Zhuo, your cultivation is still low. You can only take half of this immortal pill at a time. Leave your immortal pill with Aunt Cui for now. Every time you take it, find Aunt Cui to get it. Aunt Cui, you have to supervise him. He can only take half a pill at a time, once every seven days! "
Gu Zheng instructed softly. When Gu Zheng mentioned immortal pills, the four of them widened their eyes. Immortal pills! Although they had taken food cultivation before, they had never taken immortal pills. This was the rumored immortal pill that could greatly increase one's cultivation.
