Gu Zheng's distribution was to everyone's satisfaction.
Wang Shuo got the Asura Umbrella, but he didn't want it for himself. He had such a magic weapon, but Hu Feng lacked one, so he gave it to Hu Feng directly. Wang San didn't have any innate treasures, so he was very happy to get the Soul-chasing Sword.
As for Gu Zheng, he was more interested in research. He got the collection of two Daluo Jinxian in the middle stage, so he had enough materials to study for a long time.
Taotie was also very satisfied this time. The two Daluo Jinxian in the middle stage made his strength increase a little. Although the improvement was not obvious, it was very impressive for a Daluo Jinxian in this realm. This was his biggest gain.
In addition to the food trophies, there was another thing that Wang Shuo couldn't ignore, which was the huge resources in the hands of Ouyang Fu and Shangguan Qing.
It was said that Wang Shuo had more than 3,000 forces, but this was not true. In fact, it was more than 5,000. Hu Feng had more than 1,000, so the two of them together had more than 6,000.
It was just that the Underworld was not like the Untainted Land, where there would be a great war. Therefore, Daluo Jinxian was just behind these forces, and didn't use them to fight directly.
Not fighting didn't mean that they were useless.
The environment of the Nether World was far inferior to that of the Untainted Land. Ghost cultivators also needed cultivation resources. With more power, it meant that they could control more cultivation resources. These resources were indispensable for the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals to use themselves or to cultivate their confidants.
Ouyang Fu had more than 2,000 forces on the surface, and Shangguan Qing had less, but he also had about 2,000 forces on the surface, so there were more than 4,000 forces on the surface.
This was definitely not a small force that could help them fight for more resources. Moreover, once they took down all of these forces, Wang Shuo's reputation in the Underworld would increase by a lot. In addition to the fame of killing Ouyang Fu and Shangguan Qing, he would become the true number one person in the Underworld.
This temptation was not small.
Therefore, after distributing the trophies, Wang Shuo didn't mention these forces. Gu Zheng was not a member of the Underworld, so it was useless for him to have these forces. The forces of the Underworld couldn't rely on an outsider, so he just needed to wait. When they left, he could naturally take these forces for his own use.
His plan was very clear.
Unfortunately, his calculations were useless in front of Gu Zheng. Although Gu Zheng didn't care about these forces in the underworld, it didn't mean that he would let Wang Shuo take these things away from him for free.
You can give it to him, but you won't give it to him for free, and you won't feel like you're cheating a fool.
"Wang San!"
Gu Zheng suddenly called out. Wang San immediately chuckled and walked up. The harvest this time was too great. It could be said that the one who had gained the most was him. This was because he had not done anything, nor had he really made any contributions, yet he had gained such great spoils of war. This was really unexpected.
"How many forces do Ouyang Fu and Shangguan Qing control?"
Gu Zheng suddenly asked. Wang Shuo was slightly stunned, and his eyes narrowed slightly. This was the thing he cared about the most, and he didn't expect Gu Zheng to directly bring it up.
Let alone him, even Hu Feng immediately came back to his senses and looked at Gu Zheng.
Wang San was a little confused, but he still told the truth and told him everything he knew. He was also a Daluo Jinxian, but compared to Ouyang Fu and Wang Shuo, he was a beggar.
More than 60 forces, and it was because the surrounding forces were unwilling to break the balance in the mezzanine area, that he was able to take advantage of them.
"More than 2,700, 2,000, then we'll calculate the total as 4,700. Since the five of us got rid of these two together, then their forces should be divided among the five of us. Fellow Daoist Wang Shuo, what do you think?"
Gu Zheng suddenly proposed to divide these forces, which made Wang Shuo a little confused. Was Gu Zheng going to stay here in the future? Was he not going back?
This shouldn't be. They were people with physical bodies, and there was no way to directly cultivate in the underworld. The Yin Qi here was too strong, and it was not suitable for them to cultivate.
They would leave sooner or later, but since they were going to leave, why did they propose to divide the forces?
Wang San's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Wang Shuo.
He didn't think too much about it, but since it was said to be divided among the five of them, he should be able to get a share. This share was much, much better than what he had.
4,700 forces, if divided into five, each of them would have more than 900. Including his own share, there would be more than a thousand forces.
More than a thousand forces, in the underworld, were not nameless people. This was equivalent to him reaching the heavens in a single step.
"Fellow Daoist Gokusen is right, it should be so!"
Although Wang Shuo didn't understand why Gu Zheng said this, he knew that now was not the time to refuse. He could only agree first and see what Gu Zheng had to say next.
"What about Fellow Daoist Hu Feng?"
Gu Zheng asked Hu Feng, and Hu Feng also nodded. He didn't think as much as Wang Shuo, but he also felt that this division was a little wrong.
"Since everyone has agreed, then let's divide it like this!"
Gu Zheng chuckled. 4,700 forces, divided among the five of them, that would be 900 per person. Of course, this was just their own division. After that, they would have to draw out a section for the Ghost Kings of these forces to report to them.
In the future, the tributes of these Ghost Kings would be handed to them.
"Wang San, the three of us have a total of 2,760. We'll leave it to you to manage, but in the future, you have to cooperate well with Fellow Daoist Wang Shuo. If there's anything, you have to listen to Fellow Daoist Wang Shuo's opinion!"
Gu Zheng suddenly said to Wang San. Wang San was still counting on his fingers to figure out how to arrange his forces in the future, when he was stunned by Gu Zheng's words.
Gu Zheng had given him what he had shared with Tao Tao. Two thousand seven hundred and sixty, plus the sixty he had, it meant that he had more than two thousand eight hundred forces under his control.
With so many forces, on the surface, he jumped to second place in the Underworld, even more than Hu Feng.
"This, this, this isn't appropriate!" Wang San stuttered at the thought of Daluo Jinxian.
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. That's it!" Gu Zheng did not even ask Wang San for his opinion and directly concluded. Wang San did not dare to object, but he felt that something was wrong and did not have any joy.
In this instant, Wang Shuo understood Gu Zheng's purpose.
Wang Shuo's previous little calculations and schemes had been seen through. Now, he deliberately pushed Wang San out to express his dissatisfaction. If Wang Shuo had not schemed at the beginning and directly helped to fight Ouyang Fu, then in the end, these forces would definitely have fallen into his hands.
Because of his little schemes, Gu Zheng pushed Wang San to the front. Gu Zheng and the rest could not have these forces, but Wang San could. After all, he was also the Daluo Jinxian of the Underworld.
Although Wang Shuo understood, he could not object. After all, he had indeed schemed at the beginning. Now, he could only accept this result, unless he fell out with Gu Zheng and the rest now.
But he did not have the confidence and confidence to defeat this pair of crazy brothers, so he could only accept this result.
But fortunately, although Ouyang Fu and Jin Xian's forces on the surface had been divided, there were still some secret forces. The secret forces were generally not strong and did not have many people, but they were basically powerful ghost cultivators. They were all ghost cultivators of the Celestial Immortal forces of Jin Xian. Some of them were direct forces that they had secretly cultivated.
Wang Shuo was one of them. He was the one with the most secret forces.
Gu Zheng didn't mention these things, but he knew that Ouyang Fu definitely had them. Therefore, as long as he could draw in Ouyang Fu's secret forces, he would be able to increase his own influence. These secret forces were actually better than the forces on the surface. They were forces that he could directly control.
However, because of their high loyalty, the secret forces were not so easy to rope in and control. But if he could control half of them, it was also a good gain. Wang Shuo had already analyzed the pros and cons, and quickly adjusted his mentality.
Gu Zheng did not know these, and he would not care if he knew. He pushed Wang San out as a warning.
But this time, Wang Shuo was still cooperative. No matter what, he had taken action in the end, so Gu Zheng did not intend to pursue the matter too much. He only gave a small lesson. And Wang San, without them, was nothing. Whether it was Wang Shuo or Hu Feng, they could easily swallow him.
Now, Wang San had completely boarded their pirate ship. He could not get off even if he wanted to.
Ouyang Fu was dead, and so was Shangguan Qing. This news quickly spread in the Underworld, and for a time, it caused a violent shock.
Many Daluo Jinxian of the Underworld were inquiring about the details of the matter. When they got the result, a considerable number of Daluo Jinxian were speechless.
Their deaths were actually because of two people from the outside world. These two people were looking for the three souls. Wang Shuo had greeted them before and asked for their help. Most of them had helped, except for a few who did not help. Ouyang Fu and Shangguan Qing were the leaders of the few who did not help.
They were also the ones who led these people and did not cooperate with Wang Shuo.
Who would have thought that such a small matter would cause them to lose their lives? These two outsiders were too terrifying. Although they didn't know the details of the battle, they were very clear that only Wang Shuo and Hu Feng wouldn't be able to kill these two people. It was also because of the addition of these two outsiders that Ouyang Fu and the others were able to die.
As for the fifth person, Wang San, he was ignored by everyone.
After knowing the result, many Daluo Jinxian who had ignored or said that they were not willing to help sent out messengers to help Wang Shuo find the three people. Soon, the entire Underworld was mobilized, and everyone was looking for Wu You and the others.
At the same time, the reason why the entire Underworld was acting together for a single reason was gradually revealed to the public.
There was no other way. This matter was too big. Two Daluo Jinxian middle stage experts had fallen because of this, and the entire Underworld did not have any objections. Everyone was moving. Such a thing had never happened before, so many people were curious about the reason. In the end, they really did find out the real reason.
This reason made some people speechless, but there were also people who were envious of the three people. At the same time, they were even more careful when searching. They must not offend the three people. The people behind the three people killed two Daluo Jinxian for them, and they were both in the middle stage. Not to mention them, even the leaders of their leaders could not afford to offend them.
For a time, the name of the three people spread throughout the Underworld.
Gu Zheng returned to Wang Shuo. However, Wang Shuo was very busy recently, and Wang San was even busier.
They were busy taking over Ouyang Fu and Shangguan Qing's forces. This time, they killed the two people in a thunderous manner, so the other Daluo Jinxian did not dare to have any thoughts of interfering. Therefore, they took over smoothly.
Wang San received the ghost kings who came to seek refuge every day and received the gifts they sent. He alone was not enough, so he called some people from his nest. Still not enough, he called over the Yin Mountain Ghost King, Chang Mountain Ghost King, and other old subordinates to help him.
When the two ghost kings heard about Gu Zheng and Taotie's battle results, they were so scared that they stuck out their tongues.
The two of them had long seen that they were extraordinary, but this was too powerful. Two Daluo Jinxian, and they were both in the middle stage, were killed by them.
They knew more than others. After all, Wang San was at the scene and told them about the situation that day.
The innate treasure, the Vajra Hammer, Ouyang Fu's most powerful magical weapon, had been shattered in a head-on clash. This was too exaggerated. The two Ghost Kings were like mice seeing cats when they saw Gu Zheng and Taotie. They were very obedient.
At this time, Gu Zheng already had news of Wu You and the other two. However, it was when they had just arrived in the Underworld. He had not found them yet. However, it was a good thing to have news. He increased the investigation in that area and tried to find them as soon as possible.
In a mountain range in the Underworld, Yang Du hurried back. His expression was a little excited and a little strange.
After the three of them ran out, they hid in a place where there was no one. Yang Du also went out often to find a way to get some resentment cleansing fruits. Otherwise, it would take a long time for them to wash away the resentment on their bodies with the water of the River of Forgetfulness.
"Brother Wu, Brother Hu!"
Yang Du called out to the two of them in a low voice. The two of them came out. These days, it was basically Yang Du outside. The two of them did not go out.
"Brother Yang, you've worked hard!"
Wu You went up and said. In the past, when they were in the prefecture city, Yang Du did not show off. In the prefecture city, he also worked hard without complaint. To be honest, although Yang Du was stronger than Wu You at that time, Wu You really did not put him in his eyes.
In the prefecture city, although Wu You was only in the Qi Transformation Realm, his status was much higher than Yang Du's.
But they did not expect that after the three of them were killed and came to the Underworld, everything changed. The two of them became trash. Yang Du, who they did not think highly of before, became the most flexible of the three of them. Moreover, the two of them had to rely on Yang Du to live.
This made them sigh. They really could not underestimate anyone.
"It's okay. It's not hard for me. Guess what I heard outside!"
Yang Du said quickly. When he spoke, he was excited. Wu You and Hu Yiming were a little puzzled. What kind of news could make him so excited? Could it be that the Resentment Cleansing Fruits were freely available outside? Could it be that they were no longer locked up together?
Seeing that the two of them were only puzzled and did not speak, Yang Du continued, "I heard that the search for the three of us has intensified. Now, the entire Underworld is looking for the three of us!"
"This, this is impossible. The entire Underworld?"
Wu You was stunned. Hu Yiming was not much better. Even if they were three Celestial Immortal vengeful spirits, it was impossible to alarm the entire Underworld. The number of Celestial Immortal vengeful spirits in the Underworld was not small.
"Yes, the entire Underworld. I also know the reason!"
At this point, Yang Du became even more excited, "I heard that a big shot from the outside world came and looked for the Daluo Jinxian of the Underworld. He asked them to help find us. At first, most of the Daluo Jinxian agreed. That's why there were people looking for us. However, there were some who did not agree. Before they could find us, the big shot from the outside world looked for the two people who did not agree. The two people were the Daluo Jinxian. They were both experts in the middle stage of the Daluo Jinxian. They were also powerful figures in the Underworld!"
"These two people were killed by the big shot from the outside world. Therefore, the other people who refused were afraid. Now, they are looking for us. Some people even offered a huge reward to find us!"
Yang Du finished quickly. Wu You and Hu Yiming were dumbfounded. So this was what they were looking for. At first, they thought that they were being hunted down.
Big shot from the outside world. Who did they know and who had the ability to do so? At this moment, there was no need for Yang Du to say it. They all knew who it was.
"Young Master, it's Young Master!"
Wu You felt his eyes were trembling and a little wet. Gu Zheng was here. It must be him. Other than him, no one else had this ability.
Young Master did not forget them. He must have helped them take revenge. That was why he came to the Underworld to look for them. At this moment, Wu You felt warm in his heart. Hu Yiming, Yang Du, and the others felt the same.
"Come, let's go out!"
Wu You wiped his eyes. With this news, there was no need for them to continue hiding. They could just go out directly. Other than their Young Master, there was no one else who could turn the entire Underworld upside down.
The three of them walked out and soon met other ghost cultivators. Wu You directly went forward and revealed his identity. The ghost cultivator was stunned at first. Then, he was ecstatic. Following that, he took the three of them away very respectfully.
His respectful attitude made the three of them even more determined.
At Wang Shuo's residence, Wang Shuo hurried over. Gu Zheng was still studying the Yin Soul Food Cultivation. The Yin Soul Food Cultivation was different from the Resentment Cleansing Food Cultivation. This was a food cultivation that could directly increase one's cultivation. Because the physique of the Yin Soul was different from that of the living, it took a little more effort to study it.
"Daoist Gokusen, good news. We found them!"
Wang Shuo said to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng immediately stood up and looked at Wang Shuo.
"We found them. In fact, they have always been in Ge Gen's territory. It's just that the previous investigation alarmed them and made them hide!"
Wang Shuo quickly said. Ge Gen's territory was the place where the news of them spread. It was also the place where the surveillance was focused. Wang Shuo explained the situation in detail. The three of them had been picked up by Ge Gen. Ge Gen would personally send the three of them over.
Ge Gen was at the early stage of Daluo Jinxian. He had more than three hundred forces under him. A mid-level force like Daluo Jinxian could not be compared to Wang Shuo and the others.
Wang Shuo explained the situation. Gu Zheng also knew what was going on. In the end, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
When the three of them saw that there were people looking for them, they actually ran away. The Underworld's system of taking in vengeful spirits was not perfect. There was no specific count of the number of people. No one knew that the three of them were missing. Therefore, it was not reported before. If they knew that the three of them were missing, they would have found out long ago.
However, Gu Zheng could not do anything about it. The imperfection of the system was not something that he could improve just because he wanted to. Before the Underworld was truly managed by the Heavenly Court, it would probably always be like this. Gu Zheng also did not have the intention to reform the Underworld.
