Brother Hu was lucky to have escaped this calamity.
Not long after they left the river, Gu Zheng released the three captured Jin Xian. Seeing the sorry state of the three Goblin, Wu You, Brother Hu, and the others were stunned. These were the experts who had beaten them up so badly that they could not fight back. In front of an even stronger expert, they were just like themselves, powerless to resist.
"Your companions were killed by them, and you were captured by them. Now, I'll hand them over to you to deal with!"
Gu Zheng said to the seven Celestial Immortals, including Wu You and the others. The seven of them were stunned, and they all raised their heads.
These were three Jin Xian, the powerful Jin Xian. He was actually handing them over to deal with. Didn't that mean that these three Jin Xian could be killed by the Celestial Immortals?
Celestial Immortals killing Jin Xian was something that they did not even dare to think about, even if it was a Jin Xian who was under their control and was at the mercy of others.
However, to Gu Zheng, killing people above his level was nothing to be proud of. He had the ability to kill people above his level a long time ago, and had long been accustomed to it.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Wu You and the others were the first to react, and they knelt down on one knee to express their gratitude. Gu Zheng was giving them a chance to kill Jin Xian. Killing Jin Xian, with their current strength, would not be possible within a hundred years. Now, the impossible had become reality.
The others also reacted. Gu Zheng was letting them take revenge themselves. To be able to take revenge and kill Jin Xian, they were more than happy to do so. The seven Celestial Immortals quickly surrounded the three Jin Xian.
The three Jin Xian were surrounded by the seven Celestial Immortals, and all of them had a look of horror.
Gu Zheng, Hokkaido, and Situ stood behind, watching them. Gu Zheng had already imprisoned the three Jin Xian. Although they were Goblin and had decent defense, without cultivation, they could not withstand the attacks of the Celestial Immortals with just their physical bodies.
Moreover, because of their strong physical bodies, it would take some effort for the seven Celestial Immortals to kill them, even if they were under control.
This increased their pain even more.
Just like that, Gu Zheng, Hokkaido, and the others watched Wu You and the others torture the three Jin Xian for half a day before finally killing them.
After the three Jin Xian died, Gu Zheng divided them among the seven. The Goblin's body was full of treasures. Even if the shell of the Turtle Demon was damaged, the remaining parts could be used to refine some decent defensive immortal treasures. The Demon Core and tendons of the Shell Demon were also good stuff.
After knowing that Gu Zheng had given them all these things, they cheered and thanked him profusely.
Hokkaido and Situ only looked at them enviously with smiles on their faces.
Back then, when they were at this cultivation level, they did not have such good luck. A senior had imprisoned a powerful Golden Immortal and let them kill it. After killing it, the Golden Immortal demon's body was divided among them.
However, they were just envious. The two of them were now Jin Xian cultivators, so they would not be jealous of a few juniors.
After dividing the spoils, they returned together. Seeing that Gu Zheng had brought the immortals back, Ampoules heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately went to ask, and when he learned that the demons had all been killed, he started crying again.
The families of the children who had been notified quickly received the news. Many of these families cried out. This time, they were filled with gratitude, gratitude, and joy. The joy of escaping disaster.
If Gu Zheng could not kill those monsters and the city could not resist those monsters, they would have to sacrifice these children for the sake of the majority of the people. Not only that, they would have to have more children in the future so that the majority of the people in the city could continue living.
Gu Zheng knew that Ampoules had no choice, so he did not blame him. In his position, he had no choice. Even if there were tunnels in the city, they could not hide so many people. Instead of the entire city being killed by the demons, it was better to sacrifice some of the children to extend the lives of the majority.
After returning, Gu Zheng gave Wu You, Mado, and the others a lot of good things. Even Brother Hu and the others were given some.
No matter what, they had fought to protect the people of the city. They were not strong enough and were captured, but the responsibility was not on them. They deserved to be rewarded. Hokkaido knew about Gu Zheng's wealth, so when Brother Hu gave his master a questioning look, he secretly nodded at him.
The few Heaven Immortals were overjoyed as they took out a storage bracelet.
There were many things inside. There were immortal pills and immortal weapons. Moreover, there was more than one immortal weapon. There were both offensive and defensive weapons. Even Brother Hu's eyes lit up when he saw these things. It usually took him a long time to collect these treasures.
15 days later, Shi Bufan returned.
He did not run far. When he saw that the city was fine, he waited for some time. When he heard that Gu Zheng and Hokkaido had returned, he immediately returned to the city.
At Gu Zheng's place, Hokkaido, Situ, and Gu Zheng were all sitting there. Shi Bufan, however, stood there in shame.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, you've run away twice already!"
Daoist Huo heaved a heavy sigh. Running away, and running away twice, it was really shameful to say this out loud. However, if it were him, he also couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't run away in the face of an enemy he couldn't resist. Therefore, he just sighed and didn't blame Shi Bufan.
Situ was the same. If it were him, he might have run away too. After all, he had run away once. The second time would not be so heavy a psychological burden.
"I know. I'm here to say goodbye. It's good that the city is fine. If something happened, I would feel even more guilty!"
Shi Bufan really felt ashamed, very ashamed. He really did come to say goodbye. In fact, he could have just left without coming. That way, Daoist Huo and the others wouldn't say anything about him. After all, he had already run away, so there was nothing to be said.
"Don't go. Stay!"
Gu Zheng suddenly said. Shi Bufan, Hokkaido, and Situ all looked at him in astonishment. In their impression, Gu Zheng should hate people who ran away in the face of danger. When they first came, Gu Zheng did not give them any face.
"In the face of life-threatening danger, there is nothing wrong with wanting to save one's life. Daoist Shi resisted and left only because he could not resist. He did not run away as soon as the enemy appeared. The nature is different!"
Gu Zheng shook his head gently. In fact, he had also considered this question and knew the answer.
If he could not protect the city and could not deal with the enemy, Gu Zheng would also leave. Only by leaving behind a useful body could he take revenge. In this case, he was no different from Shi Bufan. As long as Shi Bufan did not run away without a fight, he could be forgiven.
"Really? Really?"
Shi Bufan asked in surprise. He still could not believe it. He could leave by himself, but now there were battles between Liches and Demons everywhere. There was no suitable place for him to live in seclusion. It was safer here than outside.
After all, there was Jin Xian, Hokkaido, and the mysterious Gokusen here. The stronger the forces here, the higher the corresponding security.
"Of course it's true. Fellow Daoist Situ, why don't you take Fellow Daoist Shi to rest first? He was injured in the previous battle and hasn't recovered yet. I have some healing medicine here, let him take it!"
Shi Bufan was injured and ran away. Gu Zheng did not blame him. Not only did he give him healing medicine, but he also gave him some useful fairy weapons and elixirs.
Of course, the fairy weapons were not of high quality. They were only of medium quality. Even though they were of medium quality, they were still very good for Shi Bufan. He could not protect the city, but Gu Zheng did not blame him. Instead, he gave him things, which made him feel even more guilty.
After Shi Bufan came back, the city was temporarily peaceful. The Wu House was badly damaged. Ampoules had already sent people to repair it. During this time, Gu Zheng temporarily lived in the courtyard of the Yan Family. It was too big. But now there were more of them. Even Hokkaido and the others moved in with them.
Two months later, Yang Du, Li Xu, and Xiong San came here together. There was also a young man with them. He had not reached the Immortal Realm, but he was at Level Five Internal Strength. He could not fly. The three of them carried him along the way. It was very tiring and their speed was much slower.
The arrival of the four of them made the courtyard of the Yan Family livelier. Gu Zheng did not want to live here because he did not have enough people. Now that there were more people, and Ampoules had arranged for many servants to serve the Immortals, the whole Yan Manor was very lively. After getting Gu Zheng's approval, Wu You changed the courtyard into the Wu House. Everyone would live here in the future.
The original Wu House would be used as a side courtyard after the renovation. It used to be the Yan Family's side courtyard.
"Gokusen, Tao Xian, are you guys there?"
Another month later, at noon, a dull voice suddenly came from the sky. The Immortals of the Wu House all came out and flew into the sky. There were two small dots in the distance. When they looked again, the two dots were already in front of them.
Two majestic monsters, one black and one white, stood in the air opposite them.
Not long after, another black figure flew from the distance. It was Tao Xian. He stood in front of Gu Zheng and looked at the opposite side with vigilance.
"Why are you guys here?"
Gu Zheng frowned. The black and white figures were the Goblin Daluo Jinxian, the Daluo Jinxian of the Goblin. After they escaped, Gu Zheng did not see them again. He thought they had returned to the Heaven Realm or went to other battlefields. He did not expect them to find him here.
"You guys are really here, haha!"
The black Golden Immortal laughed loudly. The few Celestial Immortals standing on the sword lost their balance and almost fell from the sky.
As for the people in the city below, many of them fainted from the shock of the laughter.
"Stop, don't be so loud. They can't take it!"
Gu Zheng hurriedly stopped him. Hokkaido, Situ, and Shi Bufan were stunned. They had already recognized the other party's identity. Daluo Jinxian, definitely a Daluo Jinxian. Not only one, but two Daluo Jinxian came to find them. This made them feel a sense of despair.
"Since you guys are here, then Hapi and the others were killed by you guys?"
The black Daluo Jinxian suddenly pulled a long face and asked coldly. Gu Zheng looked at him, frowned, and asked, "Who is Hapi?"
"Hapi is the Jin Xian of the Water Tribe. After we killed some of the Wu people, we gathered our original subordinates. A few days ago, we learned that Hapi and the others had escaped by luck and were hiding here. So we sent people to hunt them down. Unexpectedly, we didn't find them. Instead, we found many dead Water Tribe members. We discussed for a while and thought that you guys might be here, so we came to take a look. Now, it seems that we guessed right. You guys are really here!"
The white Daluo Jinxian said with a smile. Hokkaido and the others were even more desperate. It turned out that the Water Tribe members they killed were the two Daluo Jinxian's subordinates. Now, the Daluo Jinxian came to find them directly. This time, they were really finished.
The Daluo Jinxian! They didn't even have the chance to escape.
"So what? Do you want to avenge them?" Gu Zheng said coldly. He had already prepared the Book of Life and Death. Taotie also put his knife in front of him, ready to attack at any time.
"Avenge? No, they deserved to die. They deserved to die for offending you. Even if you didn't kill them, we wouldn't let them go. We just remembered that we haven't seen you guys for a long time, so we came to have a drink with you guys!"
The black Daluo Jinxian laughed again, but this time, it wasn't as loud. He looked very enthusiastic.
"You came to have a drink with us?"
Gu Zheng asked curiously. The white Daluo Jinxian nodded, "That's right. We still have some good wine from the Heaven Realm. Last time, we left in a hurry. Plus, we wanted to take revenge on the Cheung Tin Tribe. This time, we can have a few drinks. Thank you for bringing us out and helping us kill the Cheung Tin!"
"Well, if it's just a drink, you're welcome!"
Gu Zheng looked at them deeply and finally nodded. The two of them didn't have any murderous aura, nor did they look like they were here to denounce him. Instead, they looked like they were really here to have a drink. Since they weren't here to cause trouble, Gu Zheng didn't need to be so nervous.
Gu Zheng led the two Daluo Jinxian out of the city. Although he knew that the two of them weren't here to cause trouble, for safety reasons, it was better to stay outside. After all, if they did anything in the city, it would bring a huge disaster to the city. The two of them were too strong.
Hokkaido, Situ, and Shi Bufan were all stunned. They stared blankly at Gu Zheng and Taotie as they left with the two Daluo Jinxian.
The two Daluo Jinxian weren't here for revenge, but to have a drink with Gu Zheng.
And what did they say just now?
Thanking Gu Zheng and Taotie for taking them out? And helping them kill Cheung Tin?
It turned out that Cheung Tin of the Cheung Tin Tribe died in the hands of Gu Zheng and Taotie. This news shocked them too much. This was the Daluo Jinxian, the Daluo Jinxian. For them, this was the most powerful existence. It was very easy for them to kill such a powerhouse. But now, they were brothers with Gu Zheng and Taotie, and they even wanted to drink together.
Especially Hokkaido and Situ. They already knew that Gu Zheng and Taotie were very powerful, but they didn't expect that the two of them were powerful enough to kill a Daluo Jinxian. Moreover, there was also a Daluo Jinxian, who was completely on the same level as them.
This made them a little absent-minded. Even if it happened in front of their eyes, they still couldn't believe it.
"Your wine is really good. Since you brought wine, I'm going to order some dishes to accompany the wine!"
In a pavilion a hundred miles outside the city, Gu Zheng and the other three sat down. The black Daluo Jinxian immediately took out a jar of good wine. The wine's fragrance was not bad. This was a real immortal wine.
The white Daluo Jinxian took out fruits, but it was more suitable to have wine and dishes. Gu Zheng simply went to prepare a few side dishes.
"You can cook?"
Seeing Gu Zheng holding up the pot, the black Daluo Jinxian cried out in surprise. The white Daluo Jinxian also had a puzzled look.
"You'll know soon enough!"
Gu Zheng smiled. After a while, a fragrance came out of the pot. The two Daluo Jinxian sniffed.
Soon, six exquisite side dishes were prepared by Gu Zheng and served. The black Daluo Jinxian didn't wait for the others to react. He directly grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Wow, delicious, really delicious!"
The white Daluo Jinxian was a little more reserved. He ate with chopsticks, but after taking a bite, his expression changed. The food made by Gu Zheng was many times better than the food they ate in the Heavenly Realm.
"As long as it's delicious!"
Gu Zheng poured the wine. He didn't drink their wine for nothing. He drank the wine with a clear conscience. It was their good fortune to be able to eat the food made by Gokusen.
The black Daluo Jinxian took out ten jars of wine. Gu Zheng had made a total of sixteen dishes, and all of them were eaten and drunk. The two Daluo Jinxian who were full left satisfied. However, before they left, they said that they would come again in the future. After eating the food made by Gu Zheng, they used to eat pig's food in the camp.
After drinking with them, Gu Zheng had a new understanding of the battle between the Liches and Demons.
On that day, the two Great Overarching Golden Immortals had killed many experts of the Sorcerer Tribe, especially the Golden Immortals. Nine out of ten Golden Immortals had been killed. Due to the sudden attack, the Heavenly Chieftain Tribe had suffered heavy losses without the protection of the Great Overarching Golden Immortals.
However, they did not attack the ordinary members of the Sorcerer Tribe who had not reached the immortal realm. This was because of their status. After all, they were Golden Immortals. It would be too embarrassing to attack these members of the Sorcerer Tribe.
After they returned, they gathered their subordinates who had escaped and prepared to let them kill the ordinary people of the Cheung Tin Tribe. Without the protection of the experts, these ordinary Wu people were lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
However, after he gathered a portion of the people, he realized that the people from the Shaman Tribe's Heavenly Tribe had all run away. Moreover, there weren't that many people who had run away. Almost half of them had been lost. Only 40,000 people had escaped.
The remaining 40,000 were quickly found by them. They were all dried up corpses with no blood in their bodies.
When the two Daluo Jinxian were talking about this, Gu Zheng glanced at Taotie. Taotie should know best what happened to these Wu people. No wonder Gu Zheng waited for him for so long. It turned out that he went to kill people. However, he only killed the Wu people, so Gu Zheng didn't pay much attention to him.
The Cheung Tin Tribe was completely gone. The two of them had completed their mission. However, when they thought about how useless this mission was, they were very angry. They didn't return to the Heaven Realm to ask for credit. Instead, they continued to gather the survivors who had escaped before and prepared to take them to support the other Goblin.
A few days ago, when they learned that Hapi and the other two had died, they immediately guessed that it was Gu Zheng. The Wu people didn't have Jin Xian's strength to kill them. There were no strong human forces nearby. The strongest ones were Gu Zheng and Taotie.
If it was them, then Hapi and the other two deserved to die. They were the people who saved their lives. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were their saviors. They dared to kill their saviors, so they said that Hapi deserved to die.
Knowing that Gu Zheng might be here, they came to find him. They also wanted to catch up with Gu Zheng and Taotie. Last time they left in a hurry, so they didn't even ask where Gu Zheng and Taotie were. It was a failure.
