Taking this opportunity, they came here. They didn't expect that Gu Zheng had such good cooking skills, which was another surprise for them. The black Daluo Jinxian also said that he must often come here to eat and drink in the future. Gu Zheng's cooking was simply amazing.
Drinking wine was easy to deepen feelings, even immortals were no exception. Gu Zheng soon learned about their situation.
The black Daluo Jinxian, called Hei Feng, was a nine-headed snake with wind attribute, that is to say, he had nine heads. As for the white Daluo Jinxian, his surname was not Bai, but Yang Ding Tian.
Yang Ding Tian's real body was a white single-horned sheep, which was also a noble Goblin bloodline. The two did not know how dangerous it was to reveal their details to Gu Zheng.
However, the two did not intend to be enemies with Gu Zheng. As long as they were not enemies, it did not matter to let Gu Zheng know their details.
After eating and drinking, the two Daluo Jinxian left. They still had to deal with the remaining Wu people. After that, they planned to help the nearby Goblin, and they were ready to vent their anger over being trapped there.
After sending them off, Gu Zheng returned to the city. As for Taotie, he left on his own. According to him, he wouldn't go too far. If Gu Zheng had any problems, he could just look for him directly. If he stayed in the city, he would feel uncomfortable.
"Taoist friend Gokusen!"
As soon as Gu Zheng returned, Hokkaido and the other two Jin Xian surrounded him. Those Fairy Immortals also looked at him in awe from a distance.
This was especially true for Senior Brother Hu. In the past, he was also unconvinced of Gu Zheng's strength. However, Gu Zheng had advanced to the Golden Immortal Realm earlier than him. After Gu Zheng became a Golden Immortal, his unwillingness to accept Gu Zheng's strength lessened a lot. However, he still had a strong desire to cultivate to the Golden Immortal Realm as soon as possible. He wanted to prove that he was not worse than Gu Zheng.
However, this time around, he was completely convinced. He was utterly convinced.
Daluo Jinxian, the legendary Daluo Jinxian, even if he was a Goblin, was also a great existence. He actually came to drink with Gu Zheng. Looking at their appearance, their relationship was not bad.
Such a Gu Zheng, he could only look up to him. No, he could not even reach him. He no longer had the intention to compare himself with Gu Zheng.
Not to mention him, even his master, Hokkaido, who was in the late Jin Xian Realm, was very nervous. He had such a good relationship with the Daluo Jinxian. Daluo Jinxian could take a fancy to a Jin Xian, either this person had a great background, or he had strength comparable to the Daluo Jinxian.
Thinking about the two Daluo Jinxian, he immediately understood that Gu Zheng was the latter.
This meant that although Gu Zheng was only a Jin Xian, his strength and influence were definitely not inferior to the Daluo Jinxian. In this case, how could they get along with Gu Zheng in the future? Even if he was in the late Jin Xian Realm, he did not dare to be disrespectful to a Daluo Jinxian.
"It's okay!"
Gu Zheng shook his head. Seeing that they were still looking at him, he said helplessly, "Last time I went to explore the battlefield of the Cheung Tin Tribe, I met the Jin Xian of the Wu people. After killing a few of them, I was chased by Cheung Tin!"
Gu Zheng said it simply, but Hokkaido and the others were frightened. Cheung Tin, that was the Daluo Jinxian. If they were chased by the Daluo Jinxian, they would definitely die.
"Taotie appeared in time. In fact, he was always nearby. Then, the two of us injured Cheung Tin. After that, Cheung Tin used a pagoda magic weapon to trap us!"
"Inside, we met Hei Feng and Yang Ding Tian. They were the two Daluo Jinxian of the Goblin. They were also trapped. The four of us worked together to break out of the trap and kill array, but we were still in the pagoda. Cheung Tin entered the pagoda and wanted to kill the four of us. In the end, the four of us worked together and killed him!"
Gu Zheng spoke very simply, but Daoist Huo and the others trembled with fear when they heard it.
Being chased by the Daluo Jinxian and being able to injure the Daluo Jinxian was already unimaginable. Then, they cooperated with the two Goblin Daluo Jinxian. If they did not show their strength, the two Daluo Jinxian would not cooperate with them.
In the end, they worked together to kill Cheung Tin, the Daluo Jinxian. In the end, the one who killed Cheung Tin was Taotie, not the two Goblin Daluo Jinxian.
They did not know that in the process of killing Cheung Tin, Hei Feng and Yang Ding Tian did not play a big role. It was all the credit of Gu Zheng and Taotie. If they knew, they would be even more shocked.
In any case, knowing that Gu Zheng had killed the Daluo Jinxian, whether it was Hokkaido or Situ, they did not dare to talk to Gu Zheng as an equal. When they faced Gu Zheng, they were quite respectful. As for the Celestial Immortals, they were even more so.
On the other hand, Wu You and the others were very proud. Although Gu Zheng and them were not master and disciple in name, they were master and disciple. The more powerful Gu Zheng was, the better for them.
The arrival of Hei Feng and Yang Ding Tian completely calmed the hearts of these Immortals.
With an expert on the same level as the Daluo Jinxian, they had nothing to be afraid of. Especially now, the Wu people around them had withered. The Goblin boss and their boss were friends. Their safety was almost guaranteed.
Therefore, not only were Wu You and the others proud, but even Hokkaido and the others felt a sense of security that they had never felt before.
In a small city, there were more than a dozen Immortals living like this. Not only did the Immortals feel safe, but so did the ordinary people. After settling down, the prefectural city gradually became lively again. Some people did not want to live in the city and moved out again. However, they were not too far away from the city.
After Hei Feng and Yang Ding Tian came once, they did not come a second time. In the blink of an eye, 20 years had passed.
In 20 years, a child in the prefectural city had grown up. The original adults were gradually aging. Ampoules was senile and had already stepped down from his position as the head of the family. Gu Zheng saw how hardworking he was and gave him a longevity pill that mortals could take. Otherwise, he would not have lived to this day.
In these 20 years, Taotie only came back once. After that, Gu Zheng did not have any news of him. However, Gu Zheng knew his situation. There was nothing in the vicinity that could threaten him, so he was not worried.
After 20 years of bitter cultivation and a large amount of resources, Gu Zheng finally reached the mid Jin Xian stage. Twenty years to reach the mid Jin Xian stage. Gu Zheng could not help but shake his head.
On the other hand, Hokkaido and the others could not help but click their tongues when they saw how fast Gu Zheng had advanced. However, they did not know that Gu Zheng was already very dissatisfied with his own cultivation speed.
In 20 years, Wu You and the others had also improved greatly.
Currently, Mado was the one who improved the fastest and had the highest cultivation. He was already at the mid Void Return stage. Wu You was second, at the mid Soul Formation stage. Aunt Cui's improvement in these years was shocking. She was already at the early Soul Formation stage and was close to the mid Soul Formation stage.
An Zhuo was also a blessing in disguise. After he was injured, Gu Zheng helped him a few times. Now, he was also at the mid Qi Transformation stage. He was a true Immortal who could soar in the sky.
In the outside world, there were also many changes in these 20 years.
The War of the Liches and Demons had reached its climax. According to the news from the outside world, the Grand Wizard and the Big Goblin had fallen. The two Demon Emperors had mobilized all the Goblin forces and asked Saint Wa for help. However, Saint Wa did not participate.
The Wu people were the same. Rumor had it that the Twelve Grand Wizards were going to set up the Twelve Grand Wizards Formation to recreate Pangu's physical body. This was a force stronger than the Sages. They were going to destroy the Goblin. The Goblin did not show any weakness. They had prepared the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation and vowed to destroy the Wu people completely.
These were all rumors. However, Gu Zheng understood that the War of the Liches and Demons would end in a lose-lose situation. The process was not important to Gu Zheng. After all, he was not qualified to participate in this war.
The War of the Liches and Demons near the Immeasurable State had also ended. With the help of Hei Feng and Yang Ding Tian, the Goblin finally defeated the Wu people. However, it was a pyrrhic victory. Hei Feng and Yang Ding Tian were both injured and returned to the Heaven Realm to recuperate.
Another Jin Xian came to the prefectural city. There were five Divine Immortals.
This Jin Xian was in the middle stage of Jin Xian. With Hokkaido around, he did not act presumptuously. However, he did not understand why Hokkaido, Situ, and Shi Bufan were so respectful to Gu Zheng. When he came, Gu Zheng was only in the early stage of Jin Xian. He had not reached the middle stage. However, after hearing about Gu Zheng's battle achievements, he did not dare to speak anymore.
Killing the late stage of Jin Xian was as easy as cutting vegetables. This was too scary.
He did not believe it in his heart. However, Hokkaido and the others had said so. Moreover, they had seen it with their own eyes. He had no choice but to believe it. Therefore, he was very polite to Gu Zheng. Having more Immortals in the prefectural city was a good thing for Gu Zheng. Therefore, he allowed them to stay here.
In this way, the number of Immortals in the Wu House had increased by a lot. In addition, Yang Du's son had also become an Immortal. In the entire prefectural city, there were a total of 21 Jin Xian and Divine Immortals.
As for Jin Xian, there were four. This force was not small. It was more than enough to protect a city of 300,000 people.
Because of safety and good weather, the prefectural city's population had increased by a lot in the past 20 years. It had reached more than 300,000 people again. It was thriving.
In these 20 years, Taotie had only returned once. It was more than a decade ago. His cultivation had improved, but he had not broken through to Daluo Jinxian's realm. Gu Zheng understood that this realm was not easy to break through. There were many late stage Jin Xian, but only a few could truly reach Daluo Jinxian's realm.
Taotie was very open-minded about this. Everything was up to fate.
"Witch Slayer Alliance!"
On this day, a few more Immortals came to the city. They were all Jin Xian. At this moment, they were sitting in the reception hall of the Wu House. Gu Zheng sat in the main seat. Hokkaido and the others sat on the left. The guests sat on the right.
The four Jin Xian of the Wu House had come out. The other party had four people as well. One was a late stage Jin Xian, and the other three were in the middle stage. Just in terms of cultivation level, they were stronger than Gu Zheng and the others.
After they said their intentions, Gu Zheng frowned. These people were here to recruit them into an immortal organization called the Witch Slayer Alliance. From the name, it was clear that they were targeting the Wu people. It was not like the Human Alliance formed by Hokkaido and the others, which was only for self-protection.
This was an offensive organization, and their strength was not weak.
"In our alliance, there are three Daluo Jinxian. We have a Sage behind us. Now we are gathering heroes from all over the world to work together for the revival of the human race!"
The Jin Xian said proudly. Hokkaido and the others looked at Gu Zheng.
Three Daluo Jinxian with a Sage behind them. This force was too terrifying. They were also tempted. If they joined such a powerful organization, their safety would be guaranteed.
"Sage?"
Gu Zheng muttered in his heart, but he quickly denied it. Sages would not directly intervene in this war. This Sage could not be real. The most likely possibility was that this organization said this on purpose to improve their unity. Anyway, no one could go to the Sage to verify it.
"May I ask, which Sage is supporting you?"
Gu Zheng asked in a low voice. The four Jin Xian were slightly stunned, and they seemed to be unhappy.
"This Sage is Zhen Yuanzi, Sage Immortal!" The Jin Xian cupped his fists and said respectfully.
"Zhen Yuanzi!"
Gu Zheng was stunned. It was Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of Earthly Immortals and the holder of the Earth Book. Gu Zheng did not know much about Zhen Yuanzi, but he knew that he did not become a Sage in the end. He had always been a Quasi-Sage.
"Excuse me!"
Gu Zheng cupped his fists again. It turned out that this was a Quasi-Sage, not a real Sage. In order to improve their unity and influence, this organization deliberately mixed up the concept. Although Quasi-Sage and Sage both had the word "Sage", the difference was very big. For example, Daluo Jinxian and Jin Xian were both named Jin Xian, but the meaning was different.
There were Quasi-Sages in both the Goblin and the Wu people. Zhen Yuanzi alone could not stop them, even if he had the Earth Book.
"Daoist Gokusen, this is a chance for the Human Race. As long as the Wu people disappear, the ground will be the world of the Human Race!"
The late-stage Golden Immortal spoke again, and Gu Zheng immediately understood their intentions.
They helped the Goblin destroy the Wu people. This way, after the war, the Wu people would no longer exist on the ground. The Goblin would rule the sky, and the ground would naturally become the territory of the Human Race.
Zhen Yuanzi was the ancestor of Earthly Immortals. It would not be strange if he led everyone to do this. If the ground became the territory of the Human Race, then Zhen Yuanzi would definitely have a high status.
However, they did not know that the Goblin had fallen this time. Not to mention the ground, even the sky had become the territory of the Human Race.
"Sorry, my cultivation is still low. I do not want to join any alliance for the time being!"
Gu Zheng shook his head and rejected their invitation. Gu Zheng knew the result of everything. There was no need for him to get involved. Now that there was no battle between the Liches and Demons nearby, this place was absolutely safe. It was better to cultivate here peacefully and wait for the future.
"Daoist Huo, you can ask them if they are willing to go!"
Gu Zheng added when he saw the ugly expression of the person on the right. He only represented himself and not others. If Hokkaido and the others wanted to go, Gu Zheng would definitely not stop them.
Hokkaido and the others were still hesitant about whether to go or not. It was undeniable that this alliance was tempting.
Three Daluo Jinxian with a Sage behind them. How powerful was this? Although they had never heard of the name Zhen Yuanzi, since there was a Daluo Jinxian, then this Sage must be real.
Being with them was not just a matter of safety. Destroying the Wu people and defeating the Wu people would also give them great rewards. Of course, there was a certain amount of danger.
"Daoist Huo, what do you all think?"
The Jin Xian did not look at Gu Zheng. Instead, he asked Hokkaido. In fact, he did not understand why Hokkaido, a Jin Xian late-stage, would listen to Gu Zheng, a mid-stage Jin Xian, as the leader.
In their view, the stronger one was, the more dominant one should be. Just like him. Although there were four of them, he was the leader and all of them had to listen to his orders.
When they first came to this city, they were very surprised at the number of immortals here. This was just a small city, but there were four Jin Xian. This was beyond their expectations. But they were only surprised. Their goal this time was to find immortals, especially Jin Xian. They needed to find a large number of immortals to increase their strength.
There were four gold immortals here, which could only be a good thing for them. This meant that they could recruit four gold immortals back. However, they never thought that such a good and powerful organization like theirs would actually be rejected by someone. How could he dare to reject them?
It was just that the Jin Xian did not express his anger. If anyone rejected them, they would make them regret it. But now was not the time. At this time, they would recruit the others first, especially the late-stage Jin Xian and Hokkaido. It would be much easier to deal with just one person.
Hokkaido looked at Gu Zheng, and then at them. He was indeed hesitant.
But he did not hesitate for long. His eyes were filled with determination. He cupped his fists to the Jin Xian and said softly, "Many thanks for your good friends. I owe Daoist Gokusen a big favor. And I promised Daoist Gokusen that I would always guard this place. So I can only apologize!"
Hokkaido's rejection stunned the four. Even Gu Zheng was a little surprised. He did not expect Hokkaido to stay.
Although Hokkaido and the others had known each other for many years, they knew very well why Hokkaido had come here and what his purpose was. Hokkaido wanted stability.
In comparison, there were three Daluo Jinxian and the Sage-to-be Wizard Elimination Alliance. It should be a more stable place. But Hokkaido did not choose to go. Instead, he refused. This was really unexpected.
After Hokkaido refused, Situ and Shi Bufan also cupped their fists and explained their intentions.
The two of them were the same. They wanted to stay in the city, especially Shi Bufan. He had run away once. This time, he was really unwilling to be a deserter, even if he was just being recruited.
"You don't know how to appreciate favors!"
The late-stage golden immortal finally couldn't hold back his anger and stood up angrily. After saying that, he left with the people around him. When he left, he didn't even say goodbye.
"Sir, we should have taken down Gokusen from the beginning. Only then would they know how powerful we are!"
After they left, one of Jin Xian's people said to him. But he shook his head gently. "Although we are stronger than them, our purpose is not to kill, but to recruit. Moreover, even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory. They are not much weaker than us. This is not our ultimate goal!"
This late-stage golden immortal had already analyzed the pros and cons. Four against four, their strength was stronger, but there was a limit to it. They only had two more mid-stage golden immortals than the other party. If they fought, once the other party went all out, they would not end up well.
Jin Xian never fought a battle that he was not confident in, so he left temporarily. But when he left, he did not hide his anger. This was also an act of not putting Gu Zheng and the others in his eyes.
