Yang Ding Tian and Hei Feng didn't know about the existence of the six human Daluo Jinxian. The smart Goblin Daluo Jinxian couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.
"If there were other human Daluo Jinxian, they must have gone there later. With their strength, it wouldn't be a problem for them to make friends with some Daluo Jinxian. But I didn't expect there to be so many of them!"
Yang Ding Tian added. They had been to the prefectural city and knew the situation there. They were sure that there weren't so many Daluo Jinxian there before.
At that time, Gu Zheng and Tao were both in the Jin Xian Realm, so they didn't know many Daluo Jinxian. They also mentioned that Yang Ding Tian and Hei Feng were the Daluo Jinxian friends they knew the earliest.
"That's not important. These two people have cultivated so quickly. It's rare. We can't ignore them!"
The smart Daluo Jinxian said worriedly. Actually, he didn't say it out loud. This was something he had discussed with his superior, Ji Meng, one of the ten Big Goblin Generals. Ji Meng believed that after the Great Lich-Demon War, the Goblin Race's biggest enemy would be the Human Race. Therefore, at this time, if there was a chance, they should try their best to weaken the Human Race.
Defeating the Wu people wasn't difficult. Ji Meng wasn't the only one who believed this. Even the Goblin Generals and Daluo Jinxian believed this without a doubt.
The reason was simple. The Goblin Race was stronger than the Wu people in both high-level and low-level strength. The Goblin Race believed that they would win this time.
In the past, they didn't care about the Human Race at all. However, after the great battle with the Wu people, the Goblin Race had suffered great losses. The Human Race, which wasn't strong to begin with, should be taken seriously. Therefore, the Goblin higher-ups wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate some of the Human Race's forces.
However, there were powerful Immortals like the Taotie Immortal and Tao Immortal among the Human Race. This was definitely not a good thing for the Goblin Race.
"Yes. If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have believed that they had improved so quickly!"
Yang Ding Tian didn't think much of it. However, he agreed with the smart Daluo Jinxian. When Gu Zheng and Tao were Jin, he already knew that they were extraordinary. However, he didn't expect them to improve so quickly. Tao had already become a Daluo Jinxian. but he didn't expect them to improve so quickly. he had already become a Daluo Daluo.
There was one more thing that Yang Ding Tian didn't say.
He had carefully observed the Taotie Immortal and Tao Immortal and found that they were very young. They were definitely not older than 100 years old. At that time, he doubted whether he had seen wrongly. How could someone cultivate so quickly? In fact, until now, he still couldn't believe that he had seen their ages.
"Don't tell anyone about these two. Don't tell the Taotie Immortal and Tao Immortal that we asked you!"
The smart Daluo Jinxian warned Yang Ding Tian again. If the Taotie Immortal and Daluo Jinxian were only two people, even if one of them was a powerful Daluo Jinxian, he would gather some powerful Daluo Jinxian to attack them and completely eliminate these two Human Race geniuses. It didn't matter even if he offended Lu Ya.
Ordinary people were afraid of Lu Ya, but they weren't. Behind him was Ji Meng, a Sage-to-be expert. One Lu Ya didn't dare to offend the entire Goblin.
Gu Zheng didn't know that someone had already started to plot against him. If he knew what the smart Daluo Jinxian was thinking, he definitely wouldn't let him go easily. He had asked Zhao Gongming and the others to help him in order to kill all the Goblin people.
Prefecture City, after killing the Wu people, calmed down again.
Hokkaido was now the manager of the prefecture city. He basically had the final say in the affairs of the prefecture city. However, like Gu Zheng, Hokkaido had no interest in the affairs of the mortal world. The specific affairs were still handled by Wu You, Mado, and his disciple, Hu Yiming.
The prefecture city had been very safe and stable these years. The population had increased a little and now it had reached four hundred thousand people. An Family was still the manager of the prefecture city in name. However, everyone knew that An Family was only in name. The real managers were the Immortals.
Among the three Immortals, Hu Yiming was the most powerful at the Late-stage Void Return. However, he was the weakest. Mado and Wu You were the first to enter the prefecture city with Gu Zheng. They had led everyone in the great migration and saved most of their lives. They had also led people to defend the prefecture city many times and fought on the front line.
The people of the prefecture city recognized them the most.
"Great Immortal, please uphold justice for us!"
Wu You sat in the center of the Wu House. Below him knelt eight mortals in ragged clothes. They were crying and complaining.
"Don't cry. Speak slowly!"
During this period of growth, Wu You had gradually become a truly dignified Immortal. He was no longer the little guard who had tried to rob Gu Zheng. Even now, Wu You still lamented his fate. If he hadn't been greedy and cautious, he probably wouldn't have met Gu Zheng.
If he hadn't met Gu Zheng, he would still be a little guard. If he hadn't met Gu Zheng, he would have been unlucky enough to die on the road. If he hadn't been abandoned in old age, he would have died alone.
It was only after he followed Gu Zheng that his fate changed. Even now, he still remembered the two children on the horse. At that time, Gu Zheng was only three years old. Even now, Wu You was full of admiration for his wisdom and methods.
Today, he had nothing to do. However, the guards at the city gate had brought a few people to the Wu House. They were the eight mortals kneeling in front of him. The guards at the gate knew Wu You well. If there wasn't anything important, they definitely wouldn't disturb him. Since he had brought these people here, there had to be something important.
"Great Immortal, there's a monster. There's a monster in our village. It's extremely ferocious. Dozens of people in the village have already been eaten by that monster!"
As soon as Wu You finished speaking, the oldest of the eight lifted his head and cried. Wu You's brows furrowed.
Monster. There's actually a monster?
At this moment, he was no longer the mortal Wu You. He had already become an immortal. A true immortal. He knew very well what a monster was.
Currently, the Liches and Demons were engaged in a great war. Goblin had recruited scattered monsters from all over the place. How could there still be a monster causing trouble?
Normally, monsters that hadn't reached the Qi Transformation Realm would hide. Even if they had the strength, they wouldn't come out. Otherwise, they would follow other monsters that had reached the Qi Transformation Realm and become their subordinates. Little Goblin.
Monsters that hadn't reached the Qi Transformation Realm were the same as ordinary beasts. They were slightly stronger, had the ability to transform, and had gained intelligence. However, their lifespan didn't increase by much. Most of them were busy cultivating and wouldn't disturb humans on their own.
Moreover, monsters that hadn't reached the Qi Transformation Realm, unless they were birds. However, birds weren't very fast and usually couldn't travel long distances. They had already cleared out the thousands of miles around the prefectural city. There weren't any monsters at all. Where did this monster come from?
As for these eight people, they couldn't have come from too far away. Currently, there were only some signs of human habitation within five thousand miles of the prefectural city. There was no one beyond that. Some of them had been harmed by the scattered monsters that had escaped from the Great Lich-Demon War. That was why Wu You was so puzzled.
"What kind of monster is it? Tell me first!"
Wu You thought to himself. However, no matter what kind of monster it was, if it dared to wreak havoc around the prefectural city and even hurt people, it was destined to meet its end.
"We can't see what the monster looks like, but every time it appears, it's wrapped in a layer of black fog. It can also fly. It's especially ferocious!"
That person continued to answer. Wu You's eyebrows twitched again.
If it was wrapped in black fog, it meant that this monster had reached the Qi Transformation Realm. Most of these monsters were in the Great Lich-Demon War. It wasn't that they didn't exist outside, but they were very rare. Moreover, even if they did exist, they wouldn't easily come out alone to harm humans.
At this time, as long as one wasn't a fool, one would know that where humans lived, there would definitely be human immortals guarding. Otherwise, these mortals would have been captured and eaten long ago.
"How many monsters are there?"
Wu You asked again. As for the truth of this matter, he didn't doubt it. The nearby villagers wouldn't lie about something like this. The price to pay was too high.
"We don't know either. But every time, there's only one!"
One monster. And it was a Qi Transformation Realm monster. Wu You relaxed a lot. After thinking for a while, he beckoned a soldier over and asked him to invite Hu Yiming over.
Wu You was also in the Qi Transformation Realm and had a powerful immortal weapon. Dealing with an ordinary Qi Transformation Realm monster wouldn't be a problem. However, to be on the safe side, he decided to call Hu Yiming as well. Not only Hu Yiming, but also Yang Du. Yang Du was in the Soul Formation Realm. Including him, the three of them had one Qi Transformation Realm, one Soul Formation Realm, and one Void Return Realm. It was very safe.
He didn't report this matter to Hokkaido. After all, it wasn't a big deal. It was just an ordinary monster. If they couldn't even deal with this kind of matter, they could only be considered useless.
Wu You asked which village those people were from. The three of them directly flew into the sky and sped away.
The village was only about one thousand kilometers away from the prefectural city. It was a bit far, but not very far. For mortals, one thousand kilometers would take a long time to travel, but for immortals, two thousand kilometers was nothing. Even Wu You could arrive there in two to four hours.
Wu You and Hu Yiming both went out. The matters of the prefectural city were temporarily handled by Mado. Compared to Wu You, Mado liked to cultivate more. Usually, he didn't care about the matters of the prefectural city. This time, he had no choice but to take over.
The sky slowly darkened. Mado finished his meditation and listened to the people outside report on the day's events. Trivial matters wouldn't be reported to him. Mainly, there were other things that were useful. For example, someone had found better raw materials, someone had found an unknown item that might be a treasure, and so on.
Collecting all kinds of raw materials in the prefectural city had never stopped.
After resting for a night, Mado went to the courtyard at daybreak. He looked up at the sky and frowned.
Wu You and the others had been out for almost a day. Calculating the time, it had been sixteen hours. If it was just a Little Goblin at the Qi Transformation Realm, they should have returned long ago. Why hadn't they returned yet?
Could it be that the monster was too cunning and they hadn't caught it? Was that why the three of them hadn't returned?
Mado thought to himself. After hesitating for a while, he returned to his room.
Soon, it was afternoon. Wu You and the others still hadn't returned. There was also no news. At this time, they had been out for more than a day. Even if they hadn't caught the monster, someone should have come back to report the situation. It was a bit strange that the three of them hadn't returned.
In the evening, Mado couldn't help but call over the villagers who hadn't left yet and had come to ask for help.
The results were the same as what Wu You had said. The villagers had only seen one monster. Every time it appeared, it would be wrapped in a layer of black fog. It was very similar to a Qi Transformation Realm monster. Every time this monster appeared, it would capture a few people. They had already sent a group of people to ask for help, but there had been no news. Only then did the second group come.
The second group came separately and finally arrived at the prefectural city.
"Beacon fire, it's still necessary!"
Mado shook his head and muttered to himself. After the battle with the Liches and Demons ended, most of the Beacon Towers were no longer in use. Only the ones near the prefectural city were still in use.
There were advantages to the Beacon Towers, but there were also disadvantages. They were far away from the prefectural city. If there was any sign of an enemy, the people stationed at the Beacon Towers would almost certainly die. Therefore, those stationed at the Beacon Towers were all death warriors.
There were no more Liches in the vicinity, and after cleaning up a few more times, the Beacon Tower was gradually abandoned. But now, it seemed that the Beacon Tower couldn't be completely abandoned. He had to think of a way to activate the Beacon Tower again. That way, if anything happened, he would know in advance.
The next morning, Wu You and the others still hadn't returned.
Mado hadn't slept the entire night. The instant the sun rose, he suddenly got up and went to the backyard to visit Hokkaido.
Mado's temperament was steady and he was also smart. If there wasn't anything important, he definitely wouldn't trouble Hokkaido. For him to rush over so early in the morning, there had to be something, and it couldn't be a small matter.
"It's been two days. They haven't returned?"
Hokkaido was originally sitting cross-legged. After hearing Mado's report, he suddenly stood up and frowned.
The three people who had gone out were Wu You, Yang Du, and Hu Yiming. Everyone knew about Wu You. He was the first person to follow Gu Zheng and was Gu Zheng's confidant. Although they weren't master and disciple in name, they were actually master and disciple to Gu Zheng.
Hu Yiming was his only disciple, and Yang Du was the Sky Immortal who had followed him to the treasure hunt.
The three of them were all Immortals. Hu Yiming had even reached the peak of the late-stage Void Return realm. If he had the opportunity in the future, he could break through to Jin Xian's level at any time. With such strength, it would be a piece of cake for him to deal with a Qi Transformation realm demon. But now, he hadn't returned for two days. It was really surprising.
"Let's go ask Young Master!"
After thinking for a while, Hokkaido immediately made a decision. Mado was a little surprised.
"Should we alarm Young Master about this?"
Mado asked in a low voice. After all, it was just a Little Goblin. If they couldn't handle it well, even he wouldn't have the face to see Gu Zheng. They were all Immortals now.
As for Gu Zheng's strength, he was now very clear about it, unlike before when he didn't know anything.
Daluo Jinxian, Daluo Jinxian. Let alone Daluo Jinxian, even Jin Xian was an existence that he absolutely couldn't resist. Although Gu Zheng was only in the realm of Jin Xian, his strength was comparable to that of Daluo Jinxian. Even in the whole Untainted Land, he could be regarded as a figure.
As for Taotie, he was already a real Daluo Jinxian.
"No, I have a feeling that this is not a trivial matter. Don't forget that Young Master has a treasure. Let's go ask him first. Don't act rashly for the time being!"
Hokkaido shook his head. He had always been very cautious. It was because of this caution that he was able to escape when they were attacked in the Immeasurable State last time.
It was also because of this caution that he had never looked down on Gu Zheng. Even though he was in the later stage of Jin Xian, he still respected Gu Zheng very much. He had never objected to anything Gu Zheng said, which was what he was most proud of.
It should be known that Gu Zheng was only a Celestial Immortal at that time, and Taotie was not in the prefectural city. He was in the later stage of Jin Xian, but he didn't put on airs in front of a Celestial Immortal. He even did what Taotie said. This was almost impossible in the eyes of outsiders. However, this impossibility saved him.
It was the same this time. He instinctively felt that something was wrong, which was why he wanted to go to Gu Zheng's place.
Mado did not speak anymore. The two flew out of the prefectural city and flew to the villa.
Gu Zheng was in seclusion. He had made a food cultivation a few days ago. Zhao Gongming and the others had also eaten it. They were all amazed. Gu Zheng's culinary skills had completely won them over.
However, the effect of the food cultivation had still stunned them.
There was actually a food that could directly increase one's cultivation after eating it. Moreover, it could be eaten continuously. The effect was even better than immortal elixirs. This had completely overturned their understanding. Shen Gongbao even bluntly said that a person with this ability would be a chef in the future. Even if he was a chef in the future, he would be respected by everyone.
The status of a chef would definitely change because of this food.
At this time, there was no concept of an Immortal Chef. However, what Shen Gongbao said was indeed the future Immortal Chef. It was indeed so. The food cultivation had a very important effect in raising the status of an Immortal Chef.
Gu Zheng rarely went into seclusion. After eating the food cultivation, he would go into seclusion for a few days to increase his cultivation.
"The three of them haven't come back for two days?"
After listening to their narration, Gu Zheng also felt that something was wrong. With a flip of his hand, a yellow scroll immediately appeared in his hand. The reason why Hokkaido had come to find Gu Zheng was because of this treasure.
With this treasure, at least they could find out whether they were dead or alive.
Before he opened it, thick murderous energy emitted from Gu Zheng's body. This murderous energy made Hokkaido feel suffocated. His body couldn't move, and his heart was filled with fear.
Hokkaido was at the late stage of the Jin Xian realm. No matter how strong Gu Zheng was, he was still at the middle stage of the Jin Xian realm. In terms of realm, he couldn't compare with him. He didn't expect that just the murderous energy released by Gu Zheng would make him feel so uncomfortable. It was really hard for him to believe.
The murderous energy came quickly and left quickly. Hokkaido and the others had always thought that the one with the heaviest murderous energy was Taotie. They didn't know how many people Taotie had killed. However, it seemed that they were wrong. They were very wrong. The one with the heaviest murderous energy was actually Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng spent most of his time in the prefecture city. They really didn't know how he had cultivated such a heavy murderous energy.
Of course, Hokkaido and the others didn't know that Gu Zheng's murderous energy wasn't just present. In the past, in the Desolate Era, he had killed many people, including Daluo Jinxian. How could his murderous energy be small?
