Gu Zheng did not stay in the city and went straight back to the Small Villa.
This time, San Xiao did not follow him back. Instead, he said goodbye. Yun Xiao had caught a Daluo Jinxian's Primordial Spirit. She was in a hurry to go back and refine it so that her magic weapon could speed up. Yun Xiao had spent a lot of time refining this magic weapon.
Speaking of which, Yun Xiao thought that she had made a profit this time.
It was not easy to get a Daluo Jinxian's Primordial Spirit. First of all, the Daluo Jinxian had his own life-saving means. Second, even if the Daluo Jinxian was forced to a dead end, he would rather die with the thought of dragging someone down with him.
There were also some magic weapons that could kill the Daluo Jinxian, but in the end, both his body and soul were destroyed. There were very few magic weapons that could keep the Primordial Spirit.
Therefore, Yun Xiao's harvest this time was not small, which made her very satisfied.
Lan Huo, on the other hand, followed Gu Zheng and Taotie into the villa. He didn't say a word. This time, he wanted to snatch the treasure, but he didn't expect that he would be trapped here instead. This time, he really lost everything.
But fortunately, he stayed. Although he was a servant, he was still alive. As long as he was alive, he could continue to protect his grandson, his genius grandson.
As long as he could let his grandson grow up well, he would not hesitate to suffer a little grievance.
From Lan Huo, he already knew where Ge Xu was. Last time, Ge Xu was seriously injured. Currently, he was recuperating in a place called Half-Moon Mountain. It was said that it was a place where he used to cultivate.
It was good that he knew the place. He could not recover from his injuries in a short time. At this time, only his disciples were serving him. It was a good opportunity to take revenge.
After only one day of rest, Gu Zheng set off with Taotie and Lan Huo. Lan Huo had no objection. His hatred for Ge Xu even surpassed that of Gu Zheng. It was this guy who deliberately passed him false information, and as a result, he got himself into trouble.
If he had known that this Jin Xian had the Daluo Jinxian and a few others by his side, he would definitely not have come so rashly. If he had known that this Jin Xian still had the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife in his hands, he would have investigated thoroughly before making a decision. It was Ge Xu who did not say this on purpose, which meant that he was deliberately plotting against them.
At this moment, he didn't even consider that everything was caused by his greed.
However, in this era, good things and treasures belonged to those who were capable. Whoever was stronger would be able to collect more treasures. If one did not have that kind of strength but possessed treasures that were not of equal value, it would definitely attract the greed of others. Whoever managed to snatch the treasures would be considered capable.
This was the case with the Book of Life and Death. If someone knew that it was in the hands of Jin Xian, they would immediately be tempted.
However, there were exceptions. For example, even if someone knew that the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife in Gu Zheng's hands was in his hands, no one would snatch it. This was because everyone knew that the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife originally belonged to Lu Ya. This was Lu Ya's possession. Lu Ya did not say anything. If someone snatched it, it would be equivalent to snatching Lu Ya's treasure. It would definitely attract the revenge of Lu Ya.
This was also the reason why neither the Wu people nor the Goblin made any big moves after knowing the existence of the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife. At first, the Goblin misunderstood that Gu Zheng had the Tai Chi Diagram or the Mountain and River Map, so he did not dare to make any moves.
At this moment, Gu Zheng was not clear about these reasons. He did not need to be clear about them. As long as a few people who came to snatch his treasure met with mishap, the news would spread. Naturally, no one would dare to come and snatch it again. He would show his powerful strength and prove that he had the ability to possess this treasure. Then, others would tacitly acknowledge the fact that he had this treasure.
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was in the hands of the Grandmaster of Heaven, but no one dared to snatch it. Everyone knew that the Earth Book was in Zhen Yuanzi's hands, so no one dared to snatch it. This was a symbol of strength.
Half Moon Mountain was very far away. It was more than two million miles away from Gu Zheng's location. Even with the Somersault Cloud, it would take many days to arrive.
Gu Zheng was not in a hurry along the way, but Lan Huo was anxious. He could not wait to find Ge Xu immediately and kill him for his own sake. In his opinion, the reason why he was in such a mess this time was entirely Ge Xu's fault.
He did not explain the situation clearly and deliberately lured them here. If this was not harming them, what else could it be?
They were not in a hurry. After a full ten days, they finally arrived near Half Moon Mountain.
This was a dojo that Ge Xu cultivated when he was a Celestial Immortal. At that time, there were very few Celestials. Ge Xu was the only Celestial in the vicinity. Even now, the mortals here still worshipped him.
Half Moon Mountain was not called this here. The locals called it the Sacred Mountain, which meant that a great Saint lived here. In fact, it was Ge Xu. Some of his disciples here bragged about how powerful he was. The mortals did not know much and thus, treated him as a Saint.
To the mortals, whether it was Jin Xian, Daluo Jinxian, or even a Saint, they were all Celestials with incomparable strength. There was no distinction between them.
After arriving here, Gu Zheng was not in a hurry to go up the mountain. Instead, he stayed at the foot of the mountain.
The three of them disguised themselves as ordinary merchants and casually stayed at a village at the foot of the mountain. When night fell, Taotie secretly went up the mountain alone.
With the concealment immortal technique that Gu Zheng taught him and his cultivation, it was easy for him to hide from Ge Xu and investigate the situation on the mountain.
"There are two Daluo Jinxian, ten Jin Xian, and hundreds of Celestial Immortals!"
Taotie soon returned and told Gu Zheng the results of his investigation. At this time, only the two of them were in the room. Lan Huo was in another room.
"Is it the one we met in the Witch Slayer Alliance?" Gu Zheng asked through voice transmission.
"No!"
Taotie shook his head. This Daluo Jinxian was not the one they met before. It was a strange Daluo Jinxian. Although this Daluo Jinxian was also in the early stage, he gave Taotie a sense of danger.
For Taotie to feel danger, this Daluo Jinxian was certainly not an ordinary person.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy would lead to a better plan. Gu Zheng would not be like Lan Huo and Lan Huo, who came to snatch the treasure without investigating anything. In the end, one of them was killed and the other captured, while Lan Huo became a slave.
With such a Daluo Jinxian who could make Taotie vigilant and feel danger, he must not come rashly. Otherwise, he might not be able to get rid of Ge Xu and put them in danger.
After all, there were only two Daluo Jinxian. Although Gu Zheng had the strength to fight against Daluo Jinxian, it was absolutely impossible for him to deal with Daluo Jinxian alone. There was a gap in strength between them.
At the foot of the mountain, the three of them stayed for only one day and then left. They did not go far, nor did they go up the mountain. They found a place at the foot of the mountain where there was no one.
"It's not good to fight up there. Why are we still here?"
Lan Huo was very dissatisfied with this. They were already at Ge Xu's place, but they did not take action.
However, he had already recognized Taotie as his master. If Taotie did not let him go, he really did not dare to go alone.
"There is more than one Daluo Jinxian on the mountain. There is another one who is more powerful. You want to take revenge on Ge Xu, and we want to as well. However, since we have come to find him, we must kill him in one blow. If we fail to kill Ge Xu this time, we will have endless troubles in the future!"
Gu Zheng said lightly. This Ge Xu was obviously a narrow-minded person. The Daluo Jinxian that he had lured here several times proved this point.
If they failed to get rid of him this time, there would be more trouble in the future. However, Ge Xu was a Daluo Jinxian. How could it be so easy to kill a Daluo Jinxian? Therefore, Gu Zheng had to plan and be fully prepared before taking action.
Three days later, the opportunity that Gu Zheng had been waiting for came.
Two Celestial Immortals flew out from the mountain. Gu Zheng immediately followed them quietly. When he was a hundred miles away from the Half-Moon Mountain, he caught the two Celestial Immortals. When the two Celestial Immortals saw two Daluo Jinxian and one Jin Xian, they were stunned.
They were only two little Celestial Immortals, and they were both in the Qi Transformation Realm. They had to ride their swords to fly. Not to mention two Golden Immortals, even an ordinary Golden Immortal would not be able to fight against them. They did not know when they had offended such a powerful figure. After being captured, the two of them did not know what to say.
Fortunately, they were Celestial Immortals after all. Their minds were stronger than ordinary people. At least, they were not so shaken. However, their hearts were inevitably beating faster.
"Who are you to Ge Xu?"
Gu Zheng stood up and asked. The moment he said this, the two of them immediately understood that the three seniors weren't targeting them, but their ancestor.
"That is our Patriarch!"
One of them answered carefully. Ge Xu was their Patriarch's Patriarch. He was too far away from them. It was not easy for them to see him. Before this, they did not follow Ge Xu to the Wizard Elimination League.
Ge Xu had many disciples and grand-disciples. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the Great Elder. Not all of his disciples and grand-disciples went with him. Only about sixty percent went. These two were left here and didn't go, so they didn't see Gu Zheng and Tao.
Although they did not see them, it did not mean that they did not know of their existence.
Looking at Gu Zheng and Taotie, the other Celestial Immortal suddenly shouted, "You are the Taotie and Taotie Immortals!"
His companion was stunned. Then, he looked at his companion angrily. He wanted to strangle him. In fact, when he asked the question, he had already guessed Gu Zheng and Taotie's identity. He just didn't say it out loud.
Ge Xu's injury was not a secret. At this time, everyone on the mountain knew. After all, he had escaped from the Wizard Elimination League. Too many people knew about it. It was impossible to hide it.
Similarly, the story of Gu Zheng and Taotie was also spread by that person, including their appearance. The biggest feature was that they were twins. One was Daluo Jinxian, and the other was Jin Xian.
There were not many twins like them in Untainted Land. Now, they came here and directly asked about their relationship with their Patriarch. Their identity was self-evident. He did not say it because he knew that these two people had a grudge against their Patriarch. However, his companion said it stupidly. This was equal to cutting off their way out. How could he not be angry?
If they did not know the identity of these two people and did not know whether they were enemies or friends, they might let them go. Although the chance was slim, it was still a chance. Now, they had recognized them directly. They could only wait to be killed.
If Gu Zheng and the others were not in front of him, he really wanted to beat this companion of his for being stupid.
"Yes, we are the Taotie Immortals. Now that you know who we are, you should answer our questions!"
Gu Zheng smiled. He had been paying attention to the expressions of these two people. That person's thoughts could not be hidden from him. However, this person was a little tactful. Gu Zheng did not intend to ask him for the time being. He asked the other person first.
"Yes, I will answer!" That person glanced at his companion who was glaring at him and nodded nervously.
It was said that their Patriarch could not beat this person. It was said that at that time, their Patriarch was two Daluo Jinxian. However, one of the Taotie Immortals was a Daluo Jinxian, while the other was a Jin Xian. In the end, their Patriarch was defeated and seriously injured. Now there were two Daluo Jinxian and one Jin Xian on the other side. Their Patriarch was no match for them.
Even their Patriarch was no match for this senior. How could he not answer the senior's question?
"Who is the other Daluo Jinxian on your mountain?" Gu Zheng asked directly.
"That is Senior Zhao Gongming. Senior Zhao is the disciple of the Sage!"
Speaking of the other Daluo Jinxian on the mountain, the immortal suddenly straightened his back. His expression changed a little, with respect and envy.
"It's actually him?"
Gu Zheng frowned. Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth. He did not expect that the one with Ge Xu was actually this person. Zhao Gongming was the personal disciple of Tongtian Sect Leader and the senior brother of Three Xiao.
It was said that he died at the hands of Lu Ya in the War of Gods. However, that was later, not now. He should not have any enmity with Lu Ya now. He did not have to worry that Lu Ya would find trouble with him if he knew of his existence.
However, the one on the mountain was Zhao Gongming. To Gu Zheng, that was not an ordinary trouble. It seemed that the reason why Three Xiao went to his place was because of this Zhao Gongming. Or rather, Zhao Gongming wanted his three junior sisters to snatch a good treasure.
"Yes, you know Senior Zhao?"
That person kept nodding with some hope. If they knew him, then he might let them go today. Their lives would be saved.
His smarter companion, on the other hand, closed his eyes and resisted the urge to beat him up.
It was fine if you introduced Zhao Gongming, but you actually said that he was the disciple of the Sage. Whether he knew Zhao Gongming or not, the two of them were doomed this time.
He knew Zhao Gongming. At most, he would not make a move on his Patriarch. However, the two of them were just insignificant ants. In order to hide the news that they were here, he would definitely kill them.
He did not know Zhao Gongming, but he knew that he was the disciple of the Sage. Whether or not he would seek revenge on their Patriarch, the two of them would still be doomed. This time, the two of them were doomed. They were both killed by this companion.
What was he thinking this time? Why did he come out with him?
He did not know that Gu Zheng did not care about the two of them at all. He was still thinking about Zhao Gongming.
This was the proud disciple of the Grandmaster of Heaven. Although he had died at the hands of Lu Ya in the God-Conferment Battle, Zhao Gongming had defeated several people in a row when he was fighting with the immortals of Chan School. He also had a Connate Cardinal Treasure, the 24 Sea-Calming Divine Pearls.
Such a person was not someone they could deal with at the moment. Even if they could win, they could not kill Zhao Gongming. Moreover, they did not have the confidence to kill Zhao Gongming.
If they killed Zhao Gongming and provoked the Saint, they could not resist at all.
With Zhao Gongming around, it would not be easy to kill Ge Xu. He had to think of a way to lure Zhao Gongming away first. From the looks of it, it was very likely that Ge Xu knew that he was in a vulnerable period and specially invited such a protector. As for how much he had paid, Gu Zheng did not know.
It was impossible for these two Heaven Immortals to know such a secret.
"We can't go up the mountain for the time being!" Looking at Taotie and Lan Huo, Gu Zheng slowly shook his head.
"Why?" Taotie did not speak, but Lan Huo was anxious. He wanted to kill Ge Xu as soon as possible and vent his anger more than Gu Zheng.
"Zhao Gongming is not easy to deal with. We have to use other methods to lure him away before we can attack Ge Xu!"
Gu Zheng shook his head gently. Without Zhao Gongming, he and Taotie could kill Ge Xu without the three of them. However, with Zhao Gongming around, it was still unknown whether the three of them could be a match for the other side.
He had a Connate Cardinal Treasure, but so did Zhao Gongming. In terms of level, the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl was more powerful than the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger. The Book of Life and Death was not bad, but the Book of Life and Death was not an offensive Dharma treasure. It belonged to a special category and could not be compared in terms of offensive power.
The Sea-Calming Divine Pearl was a treasure that was said to be able to hurt even Saints.
"What's so difficult about it? As long as you guys hold him back, I can kill Ge Xu alone!"
Lan Huo shook his head. He still wanted to kill Ge Xu. Gu Zheng did not explain to him and flew away. Lan Huo wanted to take revenge immediately, but Gu Zheng did not support it. If Gu Zheng did not support it, Taotie would not support it. He could not even go and could only follow bitterly.
Seeing the three of them fly away, the two of them looked at each other in disbelief.
They left just like that. They did not kill them. They were lucky to have kept their lives and survived a great disaster. The two of them almost cried tears of joy.
However, before they could cry, they froze and turned into two balls of flames.
Gu Zheng could not let them go. He asked them to go back and report the news. Gu Zheng did not want to kill the innocent, but it did not mean that he would let everyone go. These people were Ge Xu's disciples and grand-disciples, which was equivalent to his enemies.
The reason why he did not act before was because he did not want Taotie to see him killing people. However, he secretly released a high-grade immortal weapon. This immortal weapon was activated after he left and turned the two of them into ashes.
The smart immortal was right. Since they knew the identity of Gu Zheng and Lan Huo, they could not keep them alive and let them go back to report the news.
Gu Zheng was going to Three-Immortal Island, where San Xiao lived.
Fortunately, he had built a good relationship with San Xiao. If he wanted to lure Zhao Gongming away or not let Zhao Gongming participate in this matter, the best way was to find San Xiao and let them be the middleman.
Through Lan Huo's matter, Gu Zheng believed that Ge Xu did not tell Zhao Gongming the complete truth. This way, he would have room to maneuver. As long as Zhao Gongming did not ask, Ge Xu and the others could kill them directly.
Three Immortals Cave was not close to this place. This time, they did not take their time. They sped along the way. Taotie's speed was very fast, and Lan Huo could not keep up. He even felt a little tired flying all the way down. As for Gu Zheng, he had the Somersault Cloud. It was much easier and faster than him. Among the three of them, Lan Huo was the slowest.
Even so, they only arrived at Three-Immortal Island after more than ten days.
