What happened in the Wu House was not spread, but An Family and the other four families knew something. After all, many immortals had disappeared, and there were not many people in the Wu House. The hunters who transported the immortals' bodies were the members of the hunting team, who had served the families before.
The hunting team had not been disbanded since it was established. In the past, it was used to look for food. Now, the surrounding people were gathered in the prefectural city, and a large amount of land was empty. An Family organized people to farm, and there was enough food.
In the Untainted Land, although the production of food was not high, it was not easy for a person to starve to death as long as he worked hard. An Family followed Gu Zheng's advice and made the best use of everyone. There was a lot of land for farming, and the food produced was enough for them to eat.
There was no crisis of food shortage in the city, but the threat outside was everywhere.
After this incident, the four families became well-behaved. No one dared to have any opinions about An Family and the Wu House. They did what they were told. Although more than a dozen people in the Liu family had died, there were still many of them left. As long as they were not stupid and did not show up at this time, Gu Zheng would not completely eradicate them because of this incident.
However, Wu You kept an eye on them. As long as he found something that could be used against them, he would eliminate the Liu family. At this time, the Liu family was not thinking about revenge. Everyone in the Liu family prayed that they would not make any mistakes. Otherwise, the whole Liu family would be finished.
Under the absolute pressure, they did not even think about revenge. Everyone knew how powerful Gu Zheng was.
Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.
On this day, the people inside and outside the Wu House were very excited. Gu Zheng stood in the yard and looked at Mado clumsily stepping on the immortal sword, trying to fly. He could not help shaking his head.
After a year of arduous cultivation, and with the ample resources provided by Gu Zheng, Mado finally reached the Energy Transformation realm. The Heaven Immortals had quite a lot of medicinal pills with them. On top of that, Mado and the others had low cultivation bases, which were enough for them to use. With no shortage of resources, Mado broke through the bottleneck in one go and finally became a real Immortal.
Wu You and Aunt Cui looked enviously at Mado, who was clumsily swinging his body in mid-air. Wu You was in the mid-stage of the fifth stage, and Aunt Cui had also broken through to the fifth stage. As long as the two of them worked hard, they believed that it wouldn't take long for them to break through as well. However, their cultivation speed was not as fast as Mado's.
Mado became the first one among them to successfully cultivate it.
Currently, An Zhuo was in the late-stage of the third stage. He had not cleansed his marrow and bones. The further he advanced, the slower his cultivation would be. Although his physique was suitable for cultivation, it was not a top-notch physique. The further he advanced, the slower his cultivation would be. He would reach the Heaven Immortal Realm later than Mado and the others.
With his physique, if he did not have a great opportunity, he would probably reach the Void Return realm at most. It would be very difficult for him to break through to the Jin Xian realm.
At this moment, Gu Zheng did not think much about him. To be exact, he was still in the observation period. After all, he was different from Mado and Aunt Cui. They were all people that Gu Zheng had taken in early on. They had followed Gu Zheng everywhere and knew them well.
An Zhuo was just repaying the favor to An Family. Before he reached the Energy Transformation realm, Gu Zheng would not even acknowledge him as a disciple.
Mado becoming an immortal was a good thing and worthy of celebration. Gu Zheng specially set up a few tables and invited Hokkaido and the others to have a good meal.
This meal was personally cooked by Gu Zheng. Hokkaido and the others were almost tongue-tied. Only now did they know that Gu Zheng was actually an immortal chef. An immortal chef with amazing culinary skills. Compared to Gu Zheng's cooking, what they had eaten before was trash.
This time, in order to celebrate Mado's ascension, Gu Zheng took out a lot of top-notch ingredients and showed off his skills. Not to mention them, even Sages had never eaten such delicious food. After all, Gu Zheng's culinary skills were from the later generations. He had tempered his culinary skills too many times.
There was another point. Immortal cooking was an industry that rose to prominence after Gokusen became a Sage. In the past, not many Immortals thought highly of Immortal Chefs. Everything changed after the invention of food cultivation. And the inventor of food cultivation was Gokusen.
All of this now rested on Gu Zheng. At this time, Gu Zheng dared to say that no one in the entire Wilderness could compare to his culinary skills.
While Gu Zheng was celebrating, the Demon Juming Tribe and the Wu Tian Tribe finally started a large-scale battle.
250,000 Goblin and 100,000 Wu Tian Tribe members. Except for the children, basically all the members of the Wu Tian Tribe were on the battlefield. The two sides fought fiercely on the battlefield that spanned thousands of miles. The chief of the Wu Tian Tribe and the Ju Ming both moved out and fought.
When the battle started, Gu Zheng, who was celebrating, felt his heart skip a beat. He returned to his room and opened the Life and Death Book.
He had previously paid attention to many Goblin members and the Wu Tian Tribe members. When the battle started, many people died, and their names disappeared from the Life and Death Book.
Gu Zheng was the owner of the Life and Death Book. Usually, he wouldn't care if people disappeared on it. However, if the names of the people he paid attention to disappeared, he would feel it. This time, many people disappeared, especially the members of the Wu Tian Tribe. Almost all of them disappeared. This made him understand that the two sides were in a big battle.
Gu Zheng didn't know the ordinary members of the Goblin, but he knew a lot about the high-level members. At this time, there were people disappearing from time to time. Both sides had people dying at the same time. It was easy to imagine what they were doing.
"This is a big battle!"
Gu Zheng muttered to himself as he looked at the Life and Death Book. In a big battle, no matter who won or lost, their battle would basically end. The loser would either be completely killed or run away. After such a big battle, there would be no time for them to recover.
Regardless of whether the Goblin or the Wu people won, they would follow up the victory with hot pursuit. They would never rest until one of them was dead.
With so many people on both sides fighting, too many people would die. Gu Zheng felt a little itchy. He had never seen such a big battle. The battle between the Ancestral Shaman and the Demon Emperor was too far away from him. However, these two divisions were right beside him.
"Huo Daoist, my fellow Daoists, please drink first. I'm going out for a while. I might be back in a few days!"
Gu Zheng said to Hokkaido. Hokkaido, who was drinking immortal brew, looked up in shock. He didn't know what important matter Gu Zheng had to attend to. He actually had to go out when his disciples were ascending to immortality.
Although Gu Zheng had never acknowledged the identity of Mado and the others, in the eyes of Mado and the others, they were Gu Zheng's disciples. When his disciples ascended to immortality, even for Jin Xian, it was a good thing.
"The few of you, listen to Huo Daoist when I'm not around!"
Gu Zheng instructed Mado and the others. Hokkaido was much better than the other immortals. At least he knew what he could do and what he couldn't do. When Gu Zheng wasn't here, he was the most powerful person. Mado was just an immortal who had just ascended. It was impossible for him to order Hokkaido around.
In this case, it was better to let them listen to Hokkaido. At least there wouldn't be any conflict.
After Gu Zheng finished instructing them, he didn't explain what he was going to do. Instead, he rushed into the sky and left the prefecture city. His cultivation had reached the Late-stage of Void Return, but he was still some distance away from the peak. He was also further away from Jin Xian.
Gu Zheng couldn't do anything about his slow cultivation. He had already used food cultivation several times, but it was still the same. He could only do so.
Of course, his slow speed was only relative to his old self. Compared to other cultivators, he was already much faster. He had been in Untainted Land for less than ten years, but he had already reached the Late-stage of Void Return. For many people, it was already very impressive if they could become immortals in ten years.
Gu Zheng left without telling them where he was going. He only said that he would be back in seven or eight days, or at most two or three months, so they didn't need to worry.
The battlefield was not far from here. Gu Zheng mainly wanted to take a look. There was a chaotic battle there. Gu Zheng had the ability to protect himself, so it was not a big deal for him to take a look.
Of course, if there was a chance to fish in troubled waters, Gu Zheng wouldn't mind taking a little. However, in such a large-scale battle, he had to be careful.
Gu Zheng knew that he would arrive at the battlefield in one day. The Book of Life and Death had a summary of a person's life, including where he died. So many Wu people had died in the same place, and the address had been directly recorded.
When he was still a few hundred miles away, Gu Zheng could already smell the scent of blood. When he was a hundred miles away from the battlefield, he could already see some scattered people chasing after each other. There were Sorcerer tribesmen chasing after Demon tribesmen, and there were also Demon tribesmen chasing after Sorcerer tribesmen. Most of them were ordinary warriors who had not reached the Immortal Realm.
It was not easy to fly without reaching the Immortal Realm. Gu Zheng was not worried about this, nor was he interested. He used an Immortal Art to hide himself and continued moving forward.
This was an advanced Immortal Art, but Gu Zheng's strength was not enough. He was in the Void Return realm, so it was not a big problem for him to hide from all the Sky Immortals. However, it would be difficult to hide from the Jin Xian. However, this was a battlefield, and everyone was fighting everywhere. Basically, no one would pay attention to the surroundings. This gave Gu Zheng an opportunity. Just like this, Gu Zheng carefully hid himself and reached the center of the battlefield.
From afar, Gu Zheng saw a huge gray ape about 30 meters tall fighting with a huge giant. Gu Zheng had seen this giant before. It was the leader of the Wu Tian Tribe. This white ape was definitely the leader of the Goblin side, the Ancient Demonic Ape Ju Ming.
It seemed that this leader of the Wu people was very powerful. He had forced the Ju Ming to reveal his true form.
After paying attention to them for a while, Gu Zheng quietly left and went to the side. These two were Golden Immortals, and they were not people he could provoke at the moment. Gu Zheng's target was mainly on those Golden Immortals.
Soon, a pair of opponents who were as strong as the Jin Xian entered Gu Zheng's line of sight.
This Goblin did not reveal his true form. The Wu person was struggling. It seemed that the Wu people were not his match. If no one came to help, this Wu person would not have a good ending.
In an all-out battle, the Wu people were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Moreover, this battle was initiated by the Wu people. Previously, there had been small skirmishes, and both sides had suffered losses. However, the Goblin was constantly gathering independent cultivators on the ground. Their numbers were constantly increasing. If this continued, the gap between the two sides would widen sooner or later.
The Wu people had no choice. They initiated the battle and did not have much confidence in winning.
Gu Zheng looked around. On the entire battlefield, the Sorcerer Tribe was basically at a disadvantage. However, the disadvantage was not particularly great. The key point was that the Sorcerer Tribe had mobilized all of their troops. They did not have any battle tactics, nor did they reserve any backup forces. Gu Zheng did not think highly of the Sorcerer Tribe in this battle.
"Here's my chance!"
Just as he was thinking, Gu Zheng suddenly became alert. The Jin Xian was fighting in pairs. The Wu person could not hold on any longer and was injured. However, the Goblin was getting fiercer and fiercer. In the end, it revealed its true form. A black leopard directly tore open the Wu person's chest.
The Wu person could not hold on any longer. He could only hold on tightly to the leopard's front paw. The leopard opened its mouth, and a long knife suddenly appeared. It slashed directly at the Wu person's head.
The leopard demon still had a backup plan at this time. The quality of the knife was not low. One look and one could tell that its level was not low. Most Goblins did not use immortal weapons, but that did not mean that they did not know how to use them. Some Goblins were not used to it, but many demons still had treasures.
When Sun Wukong went to the Western Paradise, he could not deal with many demons' treasures.
"Black Cloud. Not a bad name. Unfortunately, you are unlucky!"
Gu Zheng secretly took out the Book of Life and Death and found the leopard's name. When he was about to cut off the Wu person's head, he pulled hard. However, the knife that cut off the Wu person's head slipped and stabbed into his body. Coincidentally, it stabbed into his heart.
The leopard looked at the knife in his chest in shock. Even in death, he could not believe that his immortal weapon could kill him.
As soon as he left, Gu Zheng immediately sneaked over and put away the leopard demon's storage bracelet and the saber. At the same time, he also took the belongings of the Golden Immortal of the Magi tribe. There were battles everywhere on the battlefield, so he did it without anyone noticing.
"Not bad. Not too poor. This knife is not bad!"
Gu Zheng first checked the storage bracelet. He was satisfied with the harvest. He looked carefully at the knife. The quality of the knife was actually high. Although it was not a supreme-grade immortal weapon, it was very good.
High-grade immortal weapons were very helpful to Gu Zheng now.
The Golden Immortals of the Sorcerer race also had some items, but they were much more pitiful compared to the Yao race. However, no matter how few mosquitoes there were, they were still meat. Gu Zheng kept all the useful ones.
"Not bad. Continue!"
Gu Zheng smiled and continued to hide carefully. He stared at the Jin Xian demons fighting the Wu people, especially the demons who had the absolute advantage.
Since the Wu people were weaker, Gu Zheng would secretly help them and let the Goblin bleed more. Otherwise, the Goblin would destroy the Wu people and preserve most of its strength. It would not benefit him.
It was a pity that many of the Wu people were very poor. Otherwise, he could have gained more.
In three days, Gu Zheng successfully obtained three storage bracelets. In other words, three Jin Xian demons died at his hands. The Wu people did not use storage immortal weapons. They carried their things with them. As long as it was useful, Gu Zheng took it.
Three days had passed, and the battle between Ju Ming and the leader of the Wu people was still not over. Neither of them had used their full strength. Although Ju Ming had revealed his true form, the battle was still very easy. It was enough to show that he still had some strength left.
In these days, the Goblin and Wu people who were below the Sky Immortal level suffered the most casualties.
Every moment, there were people from both clans dying. Some had just killed their opponents and were killed by other opponents. There were also people who died together with their opponents. Everyone was scattered everywhere, killing each other. Gu Zheng shook his head as he watched.
There was no order or strategy. They just fought in a chaotic manner. It was inexplicable.
Although Gu Zheng wasn't that proficient in battle tactics, when facing such an opponent, if he was given fifty thousand people with Level Three Inner Force and above, he would dare to face a hundred thousand people with the same level of strength. Moreover, he had absolute confidence in defeating them.
It was a pity that he could not find so many Inner Strength cultivators in the human race. Moreover, the human race did not need to fight like this. Even if they were ordinary people, they could still kill them if they worked well.
When the demons attacked the city, the Wu You and the others had successfully killed many of them. Some of them were killed by ordinary people. Humans were more intelligent. They used their intelligence to kill their enemies.
If they had the firearms from Earth, the human race would have a greater advantage against the Goblin and Wu people.
Seven days. Gu Zheng had been on the battlefield for seven days. He now had ten more storage bracelets.
Although there were ten more, it did not mean that ten Gold Immortals had died. Not so many Gold Immortals had died so easily. It was just that some of the dead Heaven Immortals had been taken away by him. At this time, no one had the time to clean up the battlefield. It was much easier for him to fish in troubled waters.
Even so, a total of five Goblin Jin Xian had been ambushed by him. The death of these five Goblin Jin Xian greatly reduced the pressure on the Wu people. If they did not die, the pressure on the Wu people would be even greater.
On the fifteenth day, both sides were exhausted from the battle. Those above the Heaven Immortal level could not eat, and could use Immortal Pills like Fasting Pills to maintain themselves. However, those below the Heaven Immortal level could not do so. On the battlefield, there were many cases of people directly eating their opponents after killing them.
Whether it was the Wu people or the Goblin, they all ate each other raw. If they did not eat, they would not be able to last so long. Some people even collected corpses for everyone to eat.
When desperate, the Goblin would even eat other Goblin corpses. As long as they could fill their stomachs and continue fighting, it was fine.
After half a month, both sides suffered heavy casualties. The Goblin army of 250,000 was left with about 100,000. The Wu people army of 100,000 was left with only about 30,000.
It seemed like the Wu people had suffered more losses. However, the Wu people were all elites. The women and the weak had all died in the battle.
In terms of Immortals, both sides had suffered heavy losses. The Demon Race only had a dozen Golden Immortals and a hundred or so Celestial Immortals left. The Sorcerer Race was even more pitiful, with less than ten Golden Immortals and seventy to eighty Celestial Immortals.
Overall, the Goblin army still had the advantage.
After fighting the Wu people leader until he was tired, Ju Ming took the opportunity to go back and rest for a day. The Wu people leader could not continue fighting either. Both sides tacitly agreed not to attack each other. They just stared at each other.
After hearing about the losses, Ju Ming felt both heartache and joy. Heartache was such a great loss. Happy that the Wu people had suffered even greater losses. If he continued fighting like this, he would destroy the Wu Tian Tribe sooner or later. This was his mission. The Big Goblin above him had urged him many times.
Even if he had to sacrifice everyone, as long as he could destroy the Wu Tian Tribe, he would have made a contribution. When he returned, he would definitely be rewarded.
As for the losses, most of them were rogue demons from the lower world. These rogue demons were nothing in their eyes. They were just cannon fodder. If they died, they died. They did not care at all.
After the Great Lich-Demon War, the human race had a long period of peace. The reason was that most of the Goblin army had died. There were no more demons coming out to cause trouble.
