"Why don't you have it?"
Wu You was about to eat the Cleansing Fruit when he suddenly stopped and looked at Yang Du. Yang Du had only brought two, one for him and one for Hu Yiming. Hu Yiming was also looking at Yang Du.
"I've already eaten it!"
Yang Du chuckled. In fact, he had only obtained two Cleansing Fruits. He hadn't eaten them. He had only drunk the water of the River of Forgetfulness to purify his resentment.
"Really?"
Wu You didn't believe it. Although he hadn't been with Yang Du for a long time, they had died together once. They could be considered to have gone through thick and thin together. He more or less knew his temper and character.
"It's true. Do I need to lie to you? Hurry up and eat it. When we wash away our resentment, no matter where we go, our days will be better!"
Yang Du waved his hand and urged. Wu You didn't think too much about it. Yang Du was right. As long as they didn't have any resentment, they would be powerful people no matter where they went and would be valued.
But with resentment, they were like ticking time bombs. No one would want them no matter where they went. They might as well be treated as ordinary ghosts.
Seeing Yang Du like this, Wu You and the others didn't hesitate and quickly ate the Cleansing Fruit in their hands.
The taste of the Cleansing Fruit was very good, especially the refreshing feeling, which made them feel much better. No wonder this fruit could wash away the resentment on their bodies.
"Stand up, stand up, all of you stand up!"
A ghost cultivator flew over. This ghost cultivator wasn't strong and hadn't even reached the Celestial Immortal Realm. Because he didn't have a physical body, he could fly, but his flying speed wasn't fast.
He wasn't the only ghost cultivator. Many other ghost cultivators flew over. Each of them was responsible for one area and shouted at all the ghosts here.
"Now, let me ask you. Have you seen these three people …"
The Ghost Cultivator began to ask questions. He described the characteristics of the three people in detail. The more he spoke, the lower Wu You and the others' heads became. He was clearly talking about the three of them.
"The names of these three people are Wu You, Yang Du, and Hu Yiming. If you see them, you'll be rewarded. If you don't report it, be careful that your souls don't scatter!"
In the end, the ghost cultivator said their names. The three of them no longer doubted that the ghost cultivator was referring to them and that someone was looking for them.
Fortunately, not only did they hide their strength, they also changed their appearances. Most importantly, they even changed their names. They did not use their usual names. This was something that Wu You had learned from Gu Zheng.
When you want to hide, it's best to change your name so that others won't think it's you.
If Gu Zheng knew about this, who knew what he would think. Back then, due to some of his influence, he was unable to quickly find these three people.
After asking, no one said that they had seen him. Since no one said that they had not seen him, the ghost cultivator left.
"What's going on? Who would look for the three of us?"
After he left, Wu You said carefully. Yang Du and Hu Yiming were beside him, and they were also at a loss.
"We haven't been in the Underworld for long, and we haven't offended anyone. Why would someone look for us with such great fanfare?"
Hu Yiming also said. They were unlucky people who had died. They didn't know anyone in the Underworld, so they didn't know why anyone would look for them.
"Do you think it's our former enemies who know that we're dead, so they're looking for us?"
Yang Du suddenly said. When they were in the prefecture city, they had killed many people, including some Heaven Immortals. These Heaven Immortals' souls would also enter the Underworld after they died.
"How would they know that we're dead, especially Yang Du?"
Wu You immediately shook his head. There were many people who had died at the hands of Gu Zheng, but not many who had died at his hands. Moreover, Yang Du hadn't been in the prefecture city for long. His former enemies didn't know about Yang Du's existence. For example, when he was with Hu Yiming and the others, Gu Zheng had killed more than 20 people.
This was quickly denied by them.
"Could it be that the Goblin wants to eliminate us?"
This time, it was Hu Yiming who spoke. They were killed by the Goblin, and they hated the Goblin the most. At this moment, they instinctively thought of the Goblin.
"No, we're just small characters. Why would they waste so much effort on us?"
This time, it was Yang Du who spoke. He knew his own limits. With just the three of them, why would the Goblin chase them to the Underworld? It was impossible.
"Do you think that the Young Master came to the Underworld to find us after he found out? Don't forget, he has the Book of Life and Death!"
Wu You suddenly said. They already knew that Gu Zheng had the Book of Life and Death. It wasn't a secret to them.
They also knew that the Book of Life and Death controlled the reincarnation of life and death. It was a Connate Cardinal Treasure. At that time, they didn't think much of it. After entering the Underworld, they realized that the Book of Life and Death was even better in the Underworld.
"The Young Master is just Jin Xian. Moreover, having the Book of Life and Death doesn't necessarily mean that he has to come to the Underworld!"
The one who shook his head was still Yang Du. He hoped that Gu Zheng would come. If that was the case, not only would their safety be guaranteed, but they would also have hope of returning to the Untainted Land.
"That's true. This is the Underworld, not the Untainted Land!"
Wu You laughed bitterly. Although he hoped that Gu Zheng would come, he also knew that it was just wishful thinking. Gu Zheng wouldn't come to the Underworld for them. Moreover, they couldn't come.
This was a different world from the previous one. It was said that only saints could cross over. Gu Zheng was just a Jin Xian. Even if he was very strong, he was still just a Jin Xian.
"Could it be that the people who caught us before found out about us and are now searching for us?"
Hu Yiming said again. Wu You and Yang Du's expressions became serious.
Previously, they had revealed their strength and their identity as vengeful spirits. They were targeted and wanted to kill them. Although they had concealed their identities, they had revealed their real names and communicated with other spirits in the Underworld.
The more they thought about it, the more likely it was. Compared to the other unreliable guesses, this made them believe that it was true.
After all, they also knew how dangerous it would be if they turned into vengeful spirits. They had the strength of Celestial Immortals. Once they turned into vengeful spirits, they would definitely reach the level of Jin Xian. For example, Hu Yiming could even reach the later stage of Jin Xian.
Not only could these vengeful spirits be harmed, but other normal spirits could also be harmed.
"It must be so. It seems like we can't stay here for long!"
Wu You nodded heavily. They were already searching for them. Although they hadn't found them yet, who knew if they would be exposed in the future. There were ghost cultivators like Jin Xian here. Once they were discovered, there was no way out.
Escaping, even if they hid in a deserted place, was better than being caught and killed by them.
Wu You's words received the agreement of the two. They couldn't stay here for long. They had to find a way to leave, or they would be in danger.
Unfortunately, Gu Zheng didn't know what they were thinking. If he knew, he might be annoyed. Because of his special identity, when he was looking for Wu You, he didn't reveal his identity. He only told him to look for these three people. In the end, because of this, he missed the opportunity to find Wu You and the other two.
Five days later, the three of them finally found an opportunity to leave this place quietly.
Red eyes were the most prominent feature of vengeful spirits. Before their resentment was cleansed, the color of their eyes couldn't be removed. With this feature, it was impossible for them to go to places with other spirits, let alone enter the city.
Wu You and the others also wanted to cover their eyes. Unfortunately, they couldn't do so. Moreover, even if they closed their eyes and didn't open them, the resentment in their bodies would always be there. Some people with high cultivation could sense it.
The three of them didn't dare to walk by the river. They walked in the mountains. When they needed it, they would go to a place where there was no one to get the Resentment Cleansing Fruit. They could only use the river water to continue purifying their resentment.
"You still haven't found them?"
Three months after they came to Wang Shuo, Wang Shuo had already used his power to search more than 70% of the places where vengeful spirits gathered in the Underworld. However, there was still no news.
"It's possible that they are in those places where there is no movement!"
Wang Shuo sighed. He really hadn't found them, and he wasn't lying.
"Whose territory is that 30%? Tell me, I'll go find them!"
After such a long time without any news, Gu Zheng was a little anxious. Wang Shuo had already sent people who could move. If there was no news, it meant that the possibility of the three of them being in that 30% was very high. Gu Zheng planned to go personally.
If they were willing to help, they would say that they had gifts to thank them. If they weren't willing to help, they would have to beat them to help.
"Daoist Gokusen, this is also my business. How about this, I'll go personally!"
Wang Shuo shook his head gently, indicating that he was willing to go. Gu Zheng looked at him with a smile on his face and shook his head again.
"This is my business. I'm already very grateful that Daoist Wang is willing to help. Let's go ourselves!"
Actually, Gu Zheng was very clear about what Wang Shuo was planning. He already knew that these 30% people were not on the same side as him. Wang Shuo purposely said this so that he would have a conflict with these 30% people.
However, he didn't say this directly. Gu Zheng had lived two lives, and such thoughts couldn't be hidden from him.
However, Gu Zheng didn't care about this. He only wanted results. Even if Wang Shuo wanted to use him to deal with those people, it didn't matter. If they didn't help, Gu Zheng would have done it anyway. Therefore, he didn't care at all.
"If that's the case, I'll go with you!"
Wang Shuo didn't insist. Not only him, but Hu Feng also followed. Together with Wang San, a total of five people sped off under Wang Shuo's lead.
Gu Zheng had the Somersault Cloud, so his speed was the fastest. Even Wang Shuo was a little jealous of a treasure like the Somersault Cloud. However, he knew very well that now wasn't the time to fall out with Gu Zheng.
Besides, he already had some understanding of Gu Zheng's strength. Although Gu Zheng was just a Jin Xian on the surface, in the Underworld, the average Daluo Jinxian wasn't his match at all.
He also knew that the Book of Life and Death was in Gu Zheng's hands. He was even more jealous of the Book of Life and Death. However, after knowing what had happened to Wang San, he temporarily buried this thought and didn't show any excessive behavior.
Wang Shuo was a very scheming person. Although he knew the use of the Book of Life and Death, he didn't show any possessiveness in front of Gu Zheng. On the contrary, he had always been very cooperative with Gu Zheng's requests.
"Ouyang Fu, a mid-stage Daluo Jinxian, has been around since the creation of the world and the Underworld. He's also a veteran of the Underworld and is older than me!"
Along the way, Wang Shuo introduced the first place to Gu Zheng. Ouyang Fu was part of the first batch of people in the Underworld. He was very qualified. However, he did not cultivate his physical body. He was a ghost cultivator. Before the creation of the world, he was already a ghost cultivator.
A ghostly cultivator like him, who had been around before the creation of the world, would definitely have a lot of treasures in his hands. It would be very difficult to deal with him. Wang Shuo and Ouyang Fu had a conflict before. Although Ouyang Fu couldn't do anything to Wang Shuo, Wang Shuo couldn't do anything to Ouyang Fu either.
"His most powerful Dharma treasure is a Connate Vajra Hammer that weighs 360,000 jin. This hammer has the ability to break through space. Once locked, there's no way to escape unless you resist with brute force. However, other than a Sage, no one can withstand the heavy blow of this hammer!"
Wang Shuo introduced Ouyang Fu's most powerful Dharma treasure. The hammer that weighed 360,000 jin was indeed not light. Moreover, it could change its size and was a Connate Treasure.
A Jinxian like Gu Zheng would definitely not be able to withstand the blow of such a hammer, not even with the Book of Life and Death. This was a Connate Cardinal Treasure and not an attack from a ghostly cultivator.
The most troublesome thing was that this hammer could lock on. Once locked on, it wouldn't be easy to escape. It could even break through space to pursue.
This made Gu Zheng a little apprehensive. He felt that he had underestimated the ghostly cultivators in the Underworld. Although he had the Book of Life and Death, it wasn't omnipotent. Even in the Underworld, many Connate Cardinal Treasures were comparable to the Book of Life and Death.
"Other than the Vajra Hammer, he also has a Shura's Umbrella. However, this umbrella is effective against ghostly cultivators. You guys are just physical bodies, so it shouldn't be a problem!"
The Shura's Umbrella was a Dharma treasure that specialized in restraining Yin spirits. It could absorb Yin Qi from Yin spirits. Once enveloped by this umbrella, unless one's cultivation was very high, they would definitely die.
To Wang Shuo, this umbrella was more of a threat than the Vajra Hammer. However, he mainly introduced it to Gu Zheng and the rest, so he talked about the Vajra Hammer first.
"Thank you for the reminder!"
Gu Zheng thanked Wang Shuo. Wang Shuo then explained some of Ouyang Fu's abilities to let Gu Zheng and the rest understand. He also said that if there was a conflict, he wouldn't sit back and watch.
Thanks to Daluo Jinxian's speed, they arrived at Ouyang Fu's place in less than ten days. Wang Shuo's territory and Ouyang Fu's territory were adjacent to each other.
Ouyang Fu lived in a group of palaces, and the environment was much better than Wang Shuo's. When Gu Zheng and the rest arrived, they stopped in the air and waited for the people below to come up.
Before they could take it back, a Jin Xian came up to inquire. After he went back to report, the Ouyang Fu that Wang Shuo mentioned appeared in the air. Together with him was another Daluo Jinxian ghostly cultivator.
"Wang Shuo, now that you've found new helpers, you dare to be presumptuous in my place?"
Ouyang Fu wasn't tall and looked short and fat, but his voice was loud and clear. He asked Wang Shuo with dissatisfaction.
"Brother Ouyang, that's not what I meant. It's just that Daoist Gokusen is anxious to find his friends. Previously, Brother Ouyang was unwilling to help, so I can only come to ask for help again!"
Wang Shuo smiled and cupped his fists. Then, he whispered to Gu Zheng, "The person beside Ouyang Fu is called Shangguan Qing. He has the best relationship with Ouyang Fu and is also a Daluo Jinxian intermediate stage cultivator!"
Two Golden Immortals of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, and both of them were in the middle stage. This was going to be a tough battle. However, even if it was a tough battle, Gu Zheng was not afraid. His purpose was not to kill, but to ask them to help him find someone.
He would try peaceful means before resorting to force. If it really didn't work, he would take action.
"I'm not interested in finding anyone. Please go back!" Ouyang Fu waved his hand impatiently.
"Daoist Ouyang, if you're willing to help, I'll definitely repay you generously in the future!"
Gu Zheng said and cupped his fists. He promised that as long as the other party was willing to help, he wouldn't let the other party help for nothing.
Gu Zheng wasn't an overbearing person. If it was something else, it wouldn't matter if the other party didn't want to help. However, if he wanted to find Wu You and the others, he would be overbearing for once.
To Gu Zheng, Wu You had been with him for a long time. They were master and disciple. Furthermore, Wu You had died for the sake of the prefecture. No matter what, he had to find him in the Underworld. This was something that Gu Zheng had to do.
For such a matter, it was fine if the other party was willing to help. However, if the other party wasn't willing to help, there was no other way. Between reason and his own people, Gu Zheng would only choose his own people. It didn't matter even if he was unreasonable once.
Regardless of whether it was the Untainted Land or the Underworld, they weren't places that were truly reasonable. Whoever had the bigger fist was the reason. Only those who killed indiscriminately would be punished by everyone.
"I don't need your generosity. I've already said that I'm not interested. Go back!"
Ouyang Fu seemed to be a little angry and his tone became more impatient. Gu Zheng sighed helplessly. Suddenly, Taotie moved.
Since they were going to fight, Taotie wouldn't be passive. It didn't matter if the other party was one or two people, he would take the initiative to attack. Taotie's speed was very fast. In an instant, it was beside Ouyang Fu and the others. A trail of blood soared into the sky.
Seeing this trail of blood, Wang San was very emotional. He knew how powerful this trail of blood was. Back then, he had fallen under this trail of blood.
After Taotie rushed out, Gu Zheng rushed out with a yellow gourd in his hand.
Gu Zheng also summoned the Book of Life and Death. The yellow light wrapped around Gu Zheng. Seeing the Book of Life and Death, Wang Shuo's eyes flashed with greed.
In the blood, Ouyang Fu and Shangguan Qing roared angrily.
They didn't expect the other party to suddenly attack. Even more so, they didn't expect the other party to be so powerful. In the blood, they couldn't sense anything and didn't know where the enemy was. They could only try their best to protect themselves.
The blood didn't last long and soon dissipated. Ouyang Fu was already injured. However, Shangguan Qing's injuries seemed to be more serious than his. There were several wounds on his body.
After all, the two of them were in the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian. Even if they were injured by Taotie, their injuries were limited. Unlike Wang San, who was almost killed by Taotie.
"Treasure, please turn around!"
As soon as he appeared, Gu Zheng bent down. He knew that the other party had a powerful treasure. Therefore, he didn't show any mercy. If Ouyang Fu wasn't willing to help, then he would kill him. Gu Zheng only wanted his forces.
Once Ouyang Fu died, Gu Zheng believed that Wang Shuo had ways to take over these forces. He could also help him find people.
A white light flew out of the yellow gourd. Ouyang Fu had a bad feeling when he saw the yellow gourd. He roared. However, before he could run away, the white light flashed past his neck. Ouyang Fu's head fell straight to the ground.
In just one exchange, the powerful Ouyang Fu was beheaded by Gu Zheng and Taotie. Even Wang Shuo was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe it.
