The reason was very simple. There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Moreover, the Witch Slaying Alliance did not hide anything.
If a Sage-to-be of the Human Tribe really dared to appear and become the opponent of the Wu people, the Wu people would definitely remove this hidden danger before dealing with the Goblin, so as to prevent more enemies of the Human Tribe from appearing.
Zhen Yuanzi was powerful as the Ancestor of Earthly Immortals, but he was still not strong enough to face the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery. Therefore, as long as Zhen Yuanzi was not stupid, he would not appear. In this way, the Wu people could not really find trouble with a Sage-to-be just because of a rumor.
Gu Zheng was very clear about these things. Unfortunately, there were too few smart people. Others did not know this, or it could be said that only a few smart people could understand this.
The Sage-to-be could not be touched. The three Daluo Jinxian were a little troublesome, but it was only a little troublesome. Gu Zheng and Taotie together were only two people. As long as they did not want to completely fall out with the Witch Slaying Alliance and make it disappear, they would not dare to fall out with the Witch Slaying Alliance.
Hokkaido and the others were not clear about this situation, but seeing Gu Zheng so confident, they were relieved.
Gu Zheng began to summon Taotie, using the method left by Taotie to release the signal.
In just three days, a black shadow quickly fell into the Wu House. The people in the city did not notice, not to mention the ordinary people, even the Immortals did not have any reaction, including Hokkaido.
"You, you broke through!"
Looking at Taotie standing in front of him, even Gu Zheng was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide. Taotie had broken through and reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian.
Taotie, standing in front of him, nodded with a smile. "I broke through last year and have been consolidating it recently!"
"Good, good!"
Gu Zheng happily walked to Taotie's side. At the same time, he was worried. This devil saber was really strange. It could let Taotie break through to the realm of Daluo Jinxian so quickly.
Gu Zheng was more confident about this trip to the Witch Slaying Alliance after Taotie had broken through. However, Taotie was practicing a devil technique. Generally, devil techniques were faster in the early stage and slower in the later stage. However, the more profound the devil technique was, the smaller the influence in the later stage. Gu Zheng did not know what level of devil technique Taotie was.
Gu Zheng did not know the specific level of devil technique, but he knew that the level of devil technique Taotie was practicing was not low. Otherwise, it would not be able to injure Daluo Jinxian. Such a powerful devil technique was like the Devil King who was chased by various sects in the future. He was originally in the realm of Jin Xian, but during the pursuit, he suddenly broke through and went on a killing spree. Many people of Shu Mountain's Wan Gu Peak were killed by him.
After that, the Devil King attacked Shu Mountain alone. Although he was defeated and fled, many Daluo Jinxian in Shu Mountain could not stop him. One could imagine how powerful he was. Moreover, he was just a newly promoted Daluo Jinxian.
If the Devil Cultivation Method practiced by Taotie was not inferior to the Cultivation Method practiced by the Devil King, it meant that he was not an ordinary Golden Immortal of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. If he was regarded as a new Golden Immortal of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, he would definitely suffer losses.
After informing Hokkaido, Gu Zheng and Taotie left the prefecture city.
Taotie's speed was even faster. If Gu Zheng did not use the Somersault Cloud, he would definitely not be able to keep up with Taotie's speed. Even so, every time Gu Zheng went ahead, it would not take long for Taotie to catch up.
Gu Zheng was already in the middle stage of Jin Xian. Now, he used the Somersault Cloud more than before, but at most ten times. The Somersault Cloud consumed a lot of immortal energy, but it was fast, very fast.
The Witch Slayer Alliance was more than a million miles away from the prefecture city. In just two days, Gu Zheng and Taotie arrived here.
When they arrived, the seven returning Jin Xian had not yet arrived. This was the speed of the two. One must know that Gu Zheng left three days later than them. However, it was good that they had not arrived yet. Gu Zheng took this opportunity to sneak in and investigate.
There were many immortals in the Witch Slayer Alliance. There were three Daluo Jinxian. This was a great rallying power.
Now, there were more than a thousand Jin Xian here and more than six thousand Sky Immortals. With so many immortals together, it formed an immortal city. Even immortals had to have a place to live. They could not sleep outdoors every day.
It was not right to call it a city because there were no walls. Everyone lived on a mountain. At the foot of the mountain were the Sky Immortals. At the center was the Jin Xian. At the top was the residence of the three Daluo Jinxian. At this time, the hierarchy of the human race had been established. Moreover, this was only an ordinary mountain. The higher one went, the better the cultivation resources.
In addition to the immortals, there were a large number of mortals here. There were more than a hundred thousand of them, and they were all young.
Half of these mortals were disciples who had not become immortals. The other half were servants who served the immortals. Immortals were also human. They also liked to enjoy life. During the Investiture of the Gods, many immortals had said that they wanted to enjoy the glory and wealth of the mortal world. They also cared about this.
Of course, it was comfortable to be served by someone, including the three Daluo Jinxian. However, the ones serving them were not mortals. At the very least, they were ordinary people who had not become immortals. There were also some Sky Immortals serving them.
Including all kinds of mortals, there were about a hundred and fifty thousand people in the entire mountain. Gu Zheng and Taotie did not stand out when they sneaked in.
"Seniors, are you new here? Do you want to stay in a house first? I have ready-made houses here, and they are very affordable!"
The two did not walk around the mountain for long before a person approached them. This was a Sky Immortal. Moreover, he was not weak. He had reached the Void Return Realm and was promoting to Gu Zheng and Taotie.
"You have ready-made houses here?"
Gu Zheng was slightly stunned. Then, he asked with a smile. Sure enough, where there were people, there would be Jianghu. Where there were Jianghu, there would be transactions. Where there were transactions, there would be commerce. Even if it was a place where immortals gathered, it was the same.
"We have ready-made houses with three entrances and three exits. We have everything. We also give you four servants. We only want ten ordinary immortal elixirs or a low-grade immortal weapon!"
That person immediately introduced. He had already seen that Gu Zheng and Taotie were Jin Xian. Therefore, he called them seniors.
Jin Xian could live on the mountainside. He was talking about the houses on the mountainside. The houses were built in advance. They also gave two male and two female servants to serve them. This price was not high for Jin Xian.
However, for an ordinary Sky Immortal, this was definitely not a low price. Ordinary Sky Immortals would rather build their own houses than agree to such conditions.
"Okay, as long as we are satisfied with the house, we will do as you say!"
Gu Zheng chuckled. He was here to negotiate, or to look for trouble. He had never thought of looking for a house to live in. However, it was good that there was a ready-made house. He didn't need to live in an inn for a few days.
There was an inn at the foot of the mountain. It was really there. The scale was not small. It seemed to be for receiving immortals. The ordinary people here were directly brought in as servants. It was impossible for them to live in such an inn alone.
"Okay, seniors, please follow me!"
Seeing that the deal was about to be reached, the immortal was very happy. He directly led them to the mountainside.
Although the hierarchical system had already appeared, it was not as strict as the later generations. The mountainside was the place where Jin Xian lived. However, there was no prohibition for Sky Immortals to enter. Even the top floor was included. Even Sky Immortals could go up as long as they had a valid reason. Jin Xian was the same.
The immortal led them to a single house on the mountainside. He directly pushed the door open and entered.
There was no lock on the door here. There was only a simple immortal array. With such an array, it meant that there was an owner. Those who had a little face would not forcibly occupy it.
The house was not bad. It was spacious and bright. It was alone and very quiet. Gu Zheng was very satisfied. He gave him a low-level immortal sword on the spot in exchange for this house.
There had been four mortals living in the house. They were limited to where they lived. When they saw their new master, they were very nervous. They stepped forward and bowed together.
"We don't need anyone to serve us. You still live in the backyard. Do what you usually do!"
Gu Zheng did not drive these four mortals out. There was no need for that. After driving them out, they would not be able to avoid the fate of serving other immortals again. It was better for them to stay here.
As for whether they would stay as spies and inquire about their news, Gu Zheng was not worried at all.
If what he and Taotie said could be heard by these mortals, the two of them might as well kill themselves with a piece of tofu. Therefore, these mortals were nothing. The reason why Gu Zheng made them behave like before was purely because he wasn't used to being served.
In the prefecture city, Gu Zheng did not ask anyone to serve him. He did all the personal things himself.
"Immortal, we can do very well!"
As soon as Gu Zheng's voice fell, the four of them became incomparably terrified. One of them hurriedly kowtowed and said.
"It's okay. Don't worry. We are just not used to it. You can go back as usual. Now, you can go back first!"
Gu Zheng explained to them, but Taotie didn't say a word. He just stood there and watched quietly.
Taotie was not used to being served. If someone really turned around under his eyes every day, they would become a dried corpse in three days. Therefore, he raised both hands in approval of Gu Zheng's request.
The four of them returned to the backyard worriedly. They were a little scared and a little disappointed.
The biggest reason they served the Immortal was that the Immortal took a fancy to them and taught them to cultivate. Unfortunately, most people did not know that if they wanted to cultivate at their age, they must have the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill was not so easy to get. Ordinary Immortals would not give it to them. Wu You and Mado were also lucky. Gu Zheng just happened to get the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but there were only three. After giving it to them, there were no more.
Until now, the others around Gu Zheng could not cultivate. The reason was that Gu Zheng did not have enough materials for Marrow Cleansing Pill. Wang San and Wang Wu were already old and had long given up on the idea of cultivation. They could only sigh. Who told them to not have the good luck of Wu You and the others?
Now, Wu You and Mado were already immortals who flew into the sky and entered the earth. They still maintained their youthful appearance. However, they had become little old people, quietly enjoying their retirement in the Wu House.
"Let's go out for a walk!"
After confirming the matters in the house, Gu Zheng said to Taotie. Taotie nodded and followed Gu Zheng out of the house. The two of them walked from the waist of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.
The waist of the mountain was filled with houses. This was where Jin Xian lived. The real lively place was at the foot of the mountain, where the Immortals lived. There were not only inns at the foot of the mountain, but also restaurants, pawnshops, medicine shops, grocery stores, and so on. There were even people selling immortal pills and immortal weapons.
Transactions here were basically bartering. Only the mortals used gold and silver for some ordinary things.
Because of this, there were a few smart Immortals who would use low prices to exchange for other people's things and sell them at high prices. Some people even made a small profit from this and had no problem supporting themselves.
It was very lively at the foot of the mountain. Gu Zheng was very interested in this kind of bustle. It was like a special market for Immortals. There were many such places in the future, but at this time, there were almost none. It was very rare.
"Have you heard? Daoist Wuyun from Wuyun Mountain was also invited!"
"Daoist Wuyun, he really came?"
"I heard that the Great Elder personally went to invite him. Daoist Wuyun has already agreed. When he comes, he will be our Fourth Elder!"
Gu Zheng casually found a restaurant and ordered some immortal wine and dishes. Even before the dishes were served, the people around him were already discussing loudly. They didn't try to hide anything and didn't care if others would hear them or not.
"Daoist Wuyun!"
Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat. The Great Elder had personally invited the Fourth Elder. This meant that Daoist Wuyun was an expert on the same level as the Daluo Jinxian.
If Daoist Wuyun really came, then there would be four Daluo Jinxian here. Their rallying power would be even stronger. After a while, the scale of this place would grow, and there would be more Immortals.
If that was the case, the Wizard Purging Alliance would have no problem dealing with small and medium-sized Wu people. They would indeed be able to wipe out many Wu people and give the Goblin some buffer, causing the two sides to fight more fiercely.
It was a pity that their power had grown, and they had become a little arrogant. Their way of doing things had become more domineering. As long as they recruited you, regardless of whether you were willing or not, you would have to come. This had become like the Goblin. However, the Goblin had the name of the Heavenly Realm. All Goblins in the world had to listen to the summons of the two Demon Emperors. There was no such person in the human race.
Purely using power to recruit people would only cause them to be disunited. Once they met with a setback, they would definitely be torn apart.
"With the Four Elders here, we will definitely win if we fight the Wu people!"
"Yeah, let me say this. Whether it is the Wu people or the Goblin, we will kill them if we meet them. Otherwise, they will always bully us humans!"
"Lord Saint Immortal is not here. If Lord Saint Immortal is here, we will definitely be invincible!"
The surrounding people were still talking. This was not something worth hiding, so no one avoided it. After they finished speaking, all the immortals in the restaurant heard it.
"Another Daluo Jinxian!"
Taotie licked his lips, his face full of excitement. On the way, Gu Zheng had already told him all the reasons. He also knew that this time, he was looking for trouble to deter them. He, who had just advanced, wanted to find a few Daluo Jinxian to fight. Gu Zheng's trip this time was completely in line with his wishes.
In his opinion, three Daluo Jinxian were not enough. Now that there were four, of course, it would be best. After advancing, Taotie had not fought a Daluo Jinxian before.
"Let's negotiate first. It would be best if we can negotiate. Try not to kill. After all, this is the strength of the human race!"
Gu Zheng whispered to Taotie. He saw Taotie's excitement, which gave him a headache.
If possible, Taotie would definitely kill people, including those Daluo Jinxian. Gu Zheng did not think that those Daluo Jinxian could really deal with Taotie. In other words, they could at most protect themselves. It would be very difficult for them to kill Taotie.
Moreover, he was still by his side. He would not allow such a thing to happen.
After explaining to Taotie, Gu Zheng took him to other shops to stroll around. He really did exchange some things he needed, such as some food cultivation materials and some refining materials.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also sold some of his things in exchange for a batch of immortal pills and immortal weapons. He could bring them back as a reward for Wu You and the others. Not only Wu You, but also Yang Du and the others, as well as Brother Hu and the others. However, Brother Hu and the others would receive less. Moreover, Hokkaido and the others would distribute them.
Gu Zheng would not overstep his authority and give favors to other people's disciples.
For five consecutive days, Gu Zheng strolled around here and heard a lot of information. Taoist Master Wuyun was indeed a Daluo Jinxian. Wuyun Mountain's Wuyun Monastery was very famous. Taoist Master Wuyun also had 32 disciples of the Jinxian, each of whom was very powerful.
This time, Taoist Master Wuyun had been invited along with his disciples. This had really strengthened the power of the Wizard Slayer Alliance.
Taoist Master Wuyun had also become the fourth elder of the Wizard Slayer Alliance. The four elders were in charge of everything in the Wizard Slayer Alliance.
In the past few days, many immortals had joined the alliance. There were at least a hundred Sky Immortals and a dozen or so Jin Xian. There were new people joining every day, so the smart people here were very busy. At the same time, they also gained a lot.
Many mortals were building houses every day. There were houses on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain. The cost of building these houses was very low, but they were sold for very high prices. Many people had made a small fortune because of this, which made others jealous. Now, more and more people were building houses and selling them, and the competition was getting fiercer.
There were already some houses that had started to add mortal servants. If four wasn't enough, six would be enough. Even eight or ten would be fine. After all, there were many mortals. There was a mortal kingdom a few thousand miles away, and they could bring many back at any time.
One afternoon, a furious shout suddenly came from the top of the mountain. Many people at the foot of the mountain raised their heads and looked up in confusion. This voice came from the Great Elder. They didn't know who had made him so angry, but it seemed that someone was going to be unlucky.
Not long after, a piece of news came.
The Great Elder's personal disciple, Hu Feng, had been killed when he led a team to punish four Jin Xian in a small city. Hu Feng was at the peak of the late Jin Xian stage, and the Great Elder was very fond of him. Moreover, Hu Feng had a high chance of breaking through to the Daluo Jinxian stage in the future, so the Great Elder had high hopes for him.
Unexpectedly, Hu Feng had died outside. It was said that he had been killed by a Jin Xian mid stage Jin Xian stage cultivator, and that Jin Xian mid stage Jin Xian stage cultivator had killed him in a face-to-face battle.
This news made many people doubt it. Many people didn't believe it, but they all understood that Hu Feng had really died. Otherwise, the Great Elder wouldn't be so angry. When the Great Elder was angry, someone was bound to be unlucky.
Sure enough, it was said that of the ten people who went with Hu Feng, only seven returned. All seven of them were punished by the Great Elder. If it wasn't for the Second Elder, all seven of them would have died.
