A long time ago, Gu Zheng had been paying attention to the people around him in the Book of Life and Death. Once something happened, the Book of Life and Death would inform him.
However, he was in seclusion this time and did not take out the Book of Life and Death. Therefore, he did not know the situation of the people he was paying attention to. Once he took it out, he immediately sensed that there were changes in the people he was paying attention to.
Gu Zheng opened the Book of Life and Death. His eyes gradually narrowed. In the Book of Life and Death, Wu You, who should have cultivated to the Jin Xian Realm and had a lifespan of hundreds of thousands of years, was already in a state of death.
In other words, Wu You was already dead. Now, he was a departed spirit.
Wu You was dead. No wonder Gu Zheng had such a strong killing intent. As the earliest follower of Gu Zheng, Wu You had always performed well. He had also done a lot for Gu Zheng. Although Gu Zheng did not take him in as a disciple, everything that Wu You had was given to him by Gu Zheng.
Cultivation techniques, cultivation resources, immortal weapons, and so on. Just as Hokkaido had thought, they were not master and disciple in name, but they were master and disciple in reality.
In his territory, the person who killed him was someone very close to him. At this moment, Gu Zheng only felt an unbearable restlessness in his chest. There was only one word for this restlessness: Kill.
"Young Master!"
Hokkaido asked carefully. Although he had already guessed that something was wrong from Gu Zheng's expression, he still asked with hope.
Gu Zheng lowered his head and checked the conditions of Yang Du and Hu Yiming. There were no accidents, they had both died in vain.
The Book of Life and Death could control the life and death of people, but it was not complete control. If people died before their lifespan was up, they would die in vain. There were many people who died in vain. Many immortals who were involved could also die in vain.
For example, in the Great War of the Goblin, more people died in vain than in normal circumstances. The Book of Life and Death only had the normal cycle of life and death, but it could not control the wills of saints and quasi-saints. Even the will of Daluo Jinxian could change the Book of Life and Death.
Therefore, Gu Zheng had never taken the lifespan recorded in the Book of Life and Death seriously. For example, he was only in the Celestial Immortal Realm. However, he had already broken through to the Jin Xian Realm.
30% of life and death was determined by fate............. Gu..... and..............................................................................
.........................................................

"They're dead!"
Gu Zheng said indifferently. His words were extremely cold. Hokkaido's body swayed slightly. His face was still filled with grief.
Hu Yiming was his disciple, but more like his son. He had been teaching him since he was young. After so many years, he had long gotten used to his existence. He did not expect that he would die outside when he went to eliminate demons.
"Young Master, who killed them?"
After a while, Hokkaido asked sorrowfully. Gu Zheng shook his head gently. The Book of Life and Death had records of people who died under normal circumstances. However, for people who died in vain, there was only one sentence. There was no cause of death.
"No matter who it is, he can't escape!"
A cold glint flashed in Gu Zheng's eyes. Mado was stunned. Dead. Wu You was actually dead. The person who had been competing with him and wanted to surpass him, as well as his best friend, had died just like that.
Ever since they followed Gu Zheng, they had encountered many dangers, including being captured by demons and almost being eaten. The prefecture city had also been attacked several times. They had always been on the frontlines.
They had faced so many dangers. Wu You had only gone out on a small mission. How could he die just like that?
"Where did Wu You and the others go?"
Gu Zheng looked at Mado. Mado trembled violently and came back to his senses. He immediately told him where Wu You had gone.
After knowing the direction, Gu Zheng did not say anything. He suddenly jumped into the sky and stepped on a white cloud, the Somersault Cloud.
A somersault could cover 108,000 li. Lu Cheng, who had covered more than 2,000 li, did not even make one-tenth of a somersault. Gu Zheng did not even need to somersault.
For Wu You, 2,000 li would take some time. However, for Gu Zheng, it was basically a blink of an eye.
Soon, Gu Zheng found the place that Mado had mentioned. It was a small village with hundreds of people living there. However, there were only a few dozen people left. They were all elderly who could not run.
Gu Zheng did not even reach the village. He looked around in the air. He did not have the Fiery Eyes of Truth, but he could still identify demons. Before long, he noticed a faint demonic aura about 70 li southeast of the village.
They had already cleared the demons in the vicinity many times. The presence of demonic aura here meant that something was wrong.
Gu Zheng directly flew over. He came alone. This time, he did not even call Taotie. He came alone to avenge Wu You and the others.
There were many demons who could kill Wu You. However, only demons with Jin Xian's strength could kill Hu Yiming. Hu Yiming had the high-grade immortal weapon that Hokkaido had given him. This immortal weapon was given to Hokkaido by Gu Zheng. Hokkaido had no use for it at the moment, so he left it with Hu Yiming.
With such an immortal weapon, it would not be easy for ordinary Heaven Immortal demons to kill Hu Yiming, no matter how many of them there were.
After all, Hu Yiming was at the Peak Void Return. Even if he could not defeat him, he could still escape if he wanted to. Moreover, it was only a distance of more than two thousand li. It was very easy to run back.
There was another point. Gu Zheng believed that the person who killed them was at least Jin Xian. Wu You did not even have the chance to release the signal.
Wu You also had a Dharma weapon that he made, but he did not crush it. This meant that the person who killed him was much stronger than him. He did not have any power to fight back at all.
Jin Xian. It could even be Daluo Jinxian.
But no matter what, Gu Zheng was not afraid. No matter what, Gu Zheng wanted to avenge Wu You and make him pay the price. No matter who killed Wu You, Gu Zheng would not let him off.
Even if he was a disciple of a Saint, he was doomed this time.
Gu Zheng flew to a place with demonic aura. Immediately, three figures flew up from below. They were all Jin Xian.
"Jin Xian Intermediate Stage. Hehe, here comes another one who has a death wish!"
Three Gold Immortals. All of them were late-stage Gold Immortals. Gu Zheng understood why Wu You and the others were incapable of escaping. To think that there would be yao cultivators lying in ambush here. Additionally, they were even attacking Heavenly Immortals from the human race. While Gu Zheng was furious, he was also confused.
The three Jin Xian demons were definitely not originally here. They just arrived not long ago. These three Jin Xian actually pretended to be a Qi Transformation Stage demon. What were they trying to do? What was their goal?
"You're also from that prefecture city, right? Since you're here, stay. I haven't eaten human Jin Xian meat in a long time!"
One of the Jin Xian demons snickered. Gu Zheng's expression was cold. He did not reply and directly stepped forward.
"How dare you attack!"
Seeing Gu Zheng rush over, one of the Jin Xian demons let out a strange cry and directly met him. Gu Zheng casually took out a saber, and the Mad Demon Frenzied Saber swept out.
The charging Jin Xian demon felt a chill at his waist. He found that half of his body fell to the ground. After looking for a while, he realized that it was his own body.
With a scream, his Primordial Spirit immediately left his body. Before he could escape, a rope bound his Primordial Spirit.
This was an immortal weapon that specialized in binding ghosts. Its level was not high, only Intermediate Stage. However, it was very useful. Ghosts that were bound by it could not escape. Primordial Spirits were not ghosts, but they were both soul power and were equally useful.
One slash killed one.
The remaining two were stunned. Just as they were about to run, they were suddenly faced with a sea of blood. Their heads flew off, and the blood in their bodies dried up.
After the blood, a figure appeared. Taotie appeared.
Gu Zheng left in a hurry. Taotie was alarmed at that time. However, he did not know where Gu Zheng went. After asking Hokkaido and the others, he knew and immediately rushed over.
He was very fast and caught up to the battle. With a slash, he killed the remaining two Goblin Jin Xian, destroying their bodies and souls.
Hokkaido was still on the way.
"Who are you? Why are you here? Why did you kill my people?"
Gu Zheng did not speak to Taotie. He took out the Primordial Spirit that he had just captured and asked coldly. The Primordial Spirit was very weak. He could not even defeat a Celestial Immortal, let alone Gu Zheng who killed him.
The Primordial Spirit's face was filled with fear. He kept looking at Gu Zheng and Taotie.
Gu Zheng suddenly made a seal with his hand. The Primordial Spirit immediately howled miserably. Gu Zheng had many methods to control the Primordial Spirit.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"
The Primordial Spirit screamed. Soon, he revealed their origins and purpose.
They were also from the Demon Race on the battlefield of the Liches and Demons. However, they had won that battle. Their commander had given them a mission to search for human Immortals and kill as many as they could below the Golden Immortal Realm.
The three of them were Jin Xian, and all of them were late Jin Xian. If they did not encounter a group of human Jin Xian, they would be fine.
Before this, they had already killed two Jin Xian and six Celestial Immortals. They killed their way to the prefecture city.
They advanced stealthily. Moreover, they had Dharma treasures to hide their auras. They could not be discovered. Before entering the prefecture city, they found that there were many Immortals in the prefecture city.
After carefully probing, the results surprised them.
There were more than twenty Immortals in the prefecture city. There were more than ten Jin Xian. Although they did not find out their specific realms, according to their experience, there were not only late Jin Xian, but more than one.
There were so many Jin Xian. They were not confident that they could kill all of them. If they were exposed and fought, it was hard to say whether they would be a match.
But with so many human Immortals here, they were itching. So they came up with an idea. They had to think of a way to lure the human Immortals here and then kill them. If too many Immortals were attracted, they would run first. Later, they would think of a way to eliminate the Immortals here one by one.
Their plan was not bad. Wu You had fallen for it. Although Wu You had acted prudently and even called Hu Yiming along, he had not expected that this was a trap set by three Jin Xian.
Three against three. Three late Jin Xian against three Heavenly Immortals. The result was obvious.
They were naturally not satisfied with only killing three Celestial Immortals, so they did not leave and waited to see who would come next. In the end, a mid-stage Golden Immortal came, which made them very happy. They thought that they could kill another human Golden Immortal, but they did not expect that the one who came this time was actually a Fiend God. He was a late-stage Golden Immortal, but he was killed in a single blow.
"Why did your Commander send you to kill the human Immortals?"
Gu Zheng asked with a cold face. The Primordial Spirit shook his head in fear. "I don't know. It was not only the three of us who received this mission. There are many others who have set off. Their goal is to kill as many human Immortals as possible!"
His words made Gu Zheng's eyes turn cold again.
Soon, he understood. The Goblin had attacked the human Immortals. Although the Great Witch Demon War was not over, it was almost over. The Goblin could see that their future enemy was the human Immortals. Therefore, they struck first and destroyed the enemy as much as possible.
Gu Zheng did not know whether to call them smart or stupid.
Even if you attacked, you had to wait until after victory. If you secretly attacked now and let the human Immortals know, they would unite with the Wu people to attack you. Would you be able to hold on?
There were not many human Demi-Sages, but there were still some. And there was a certain number of Daluo Jinxian. Once they joined in, they could definitely turn the tide of the battle.
"Young Master!"
Just as he finished asking, Daoist Huo arrived. He saw the primordial spirit that Gu Zheng had captured and recognized its power.
Jin Xian late stage. It was actually the Primordial Spirit of a late Jin Xian. No wonder Hu Yiming and the others were killed. Such power was not something they could resist.
"I'll leave it to you. Just don't let it die!"
Gu Zheng threw the Jin Xian's Primordial Spirit to Hokkaido. He did not even collect the spoils and flew back directly. Taotie looked at the ground and hesitated. Finally, he collected the three Jin Xian's Storage Bracelets and left.
Hokkaido now knew that there was not only one late Jin Xian, but three.
Now that Gu Zheng and Taotie had left, he had to deal with the three demon corpses that had revealed their true forms. If he could get three demon corpses of late Golden Immortal realm demon corpses at one time, it would definitely be a good thing to make a fortune. Unfortunately, he was not happy at all now. The price of getting these three corpses was too great.
Gu Zheng returned to the villa and called Zhao Gongming, Shen Gongbao and Zhuge Ming.
"The Goblin attacked the human Immortals?"
After listening to Gu Zheng, Zhao Gongming was the first to be stunned. Shen Gongbao and Zhuge Ming were also in disbelief.
Just as Gu Zheng thought, the Goblin was crazy to attack the human Immortals at this time.
"There's no mistake. That Primordial Spirit is still in Hokkaido's hands. When he comes back, you can interrogate him yourselves!"
Gu Zheng told Zhao Gongming and the others because they had a wider network. This matter could be known to more people as soon as possible. At present, the immortals of the human Immortals were still very scattered and not united. Previously, there was a Wizard Slaying Alliance, which was destroyed by Gu Zheng.
In this case, the Goblin's sneak attack would bring great harm to the human Immortals.
After saying this, Gu Zheng returned to his room. Zhao Gongming and the others did not stop him. They all went out to wait for Hokkaido's return. This matter was very important and they had to take it seriously.
Before long, Hokkaido dragged the three demon corpses back. The Primordial Spirit of the demon also fell into the hands of Zhao Gongming and the others.
At this time, the Primordial Spirit of the demon was about to go crazy.
He did not expect that there would be such a powerful Jin Xian in the prefecture city. He also did not expect that there would be a Daluo Jinxian. Previously, a Daluo Jinxian suddenly appeared and killed two of his companions.
It was fine that there was a Daluo Jinxian, but there were more than one. There were three of them here. If they had known this, they would not have attacked here. They would have run as far as they could.
In a small human city with only a few hundred thousand people, there were more than ten Jin Xian and four Daluo Jinxian. How could they survive?
Zhao Gongming and the others' interrogation was very fast. It didn't take long for them to finish. Just like what Gu Zheng said, they knew more details than Gu Zheng.
Soon, the three of them all left. They also sent many messages to their relatives and friends, asking them to inform the people around them to be careful of the Goblin. The Goblin had already attacked the human Immortals.
For such a big matter, Zhao Gongming could only inform them. As for how to deal with it, he did not have the final say. Therefore, he immediately went outside the 33 Heavens to find his master and report this matter to him.
For such a matter, he could only go to the Sage.
When they left, Gu Zheng did not go out. He just casually said that. Zhao Gongming and the others knew that one of Gu Zheng's disciples had been killed. They did not care. In addition, the matter was urgent, so they all left in a hurry. Only Taotie stayed by Gu Zheng's side to accompany him.
"I'm going to the Underworld!"
Looking at Taotie, Gu Zheng suddenly said. Taotie was a little stunned and a little confused.
The Underworld was a world of its own after the sky was opened. It only absorbed souls. As a place of reincarnation, it was very important.
In the early days of the Eldritch Age, the Underworld and the Eldritch Age were not connected. There was no connecting passage. If one wanted to enter the Underworld, they had to open the barrier between the two worlds.
Only the Daluo Jinxian could do that.
But even the Daluo Jinxian could not go as he wished. After all, no one knew where the Underworld was. Even if one had the ability, it would be a waste if one could not find the place. They could not open spatial passages everywhere to find the Underworld.
If they did that, they might be sucked into the turbulence. Even the Daluo Jinxian could not come out.
"We'll go wherever you say!"
Taotie said directly. In fact, Taotie did not have the concept of the Underworld. He did not know that the place they were going to had already left the Eldritch Age.
"I have the Book of Life and Death. I can enter the Underworld, but I can't open the barrier between the two worlds now. I need your help!"
Gu Zheng revealed a rare smile. He was different from others. First, he knew how to go to the Underworld. Second, he had the Book of Life and Death. The Underworld was the place of reincarnation. The Book of Life and Death controlled the reincarnation of life and death. It was the most compatible with the Underworld.
With the Book of Life and Death, Gu Zheng could do whatever he wanted in the Underworld. Even if there were powerful ghosts, they wouldn't be able to hurt Gu Zheng.
"What should we do?"
Taotie did not beat around the bush and asked directly. Gu Zheng's smile widened. "Don't be anxious. Let's go to the Underworld. We have to make arrangements here. We can't just leave. It's not peaceful now. We have to tell them to be careful!"
The Goblin was secretly killing the human race. Although the three Goblin Jin Xian who came to their side were killed, no one could guarantee that there would not be more Goblin. Therefore, the safety of the prefectural city had to be ensured.
