Wu You and the other two arrived. Wang Shuo personally escorted the three of them to Gu Zheng.
The moment they saw Gu Zheng, the three of them couldn't help but cry. Ghosts also had tears, but they were different from the tears of the living. The three of them lowered their heads and cried together, but their cries were a little unpleasant to the ears.
The cries of ghosts could be understood just by thinking about it.
"Alright, believe me, everything will be fine!"
After they had vented for a while, Gu Zheng smiled and said to them. The three of them stood up together and nodded vigorously, wiping away their tears at the same time.
"I know that you have fallen into a trap. The three Jin Xian have been killed by us, and we have avenged you!"
Gu Zheng said indifferently. Of the three Goblin Jin Xian, two were killed by him, and one was killed by Hokkaido. They were all dead, and their bodies and souls were destroyed. It was impossible for them to be revived.
"You have encountered such a disaster, but fortunately, your souls are still here. Do you have any thoughts or plans in the future?"
Gu Zheng asked softly. No matter what they chose, Gu Zheng would respect their decision. If they chose to return to the Untainted Land to become ghost cultivators or take over their bodies, Gu Zheng would help them. If they chose to stay in the Underworld, then he would negotiate with Wang Shuo to ensure their safety. Moreover, if he could come here once, then he could come again. As long as Wang Shuo wasn't stupid, he wouldn't make things difficult for his people.
As for murder, that was even more impossible. Once Gu Zheng found out, Wang Shuo would die, unless he had the confidence to defeat Gu Zheng.
"Can we still go back?" Wu You raised his head and asked with some hope.
He didn't want to stay in the Underworld. He wanted to go back, to the prefectural city, to the place where he had always lived, to be with his relatives and friends. He wanted to enjoy the sunshine and didn't like the gloomy atmosphere in the Underworld.
"Yes!"
Gu Zheng nodded at him. Wu You immediately laughed excitedly. He wanted to go back, he didn't want to stay here.
"I want to go back too!"
The one who spoke was Hu Yiming. He didn't want to stay here. He was about to reach the Jin Xian Realm, and suddenly met with such a disaster. He was really sullen in his heart.
"Alright!"
Gu Zheng also nodded at him. It was not difficult to go back. They could make a choice after going back. Anyway, with him around, the two of them would have a better future.
"I want to stay!"
To Gu Zheng's surprise, Yang Du didn't want to go back with them. Instead, he wanted to stay in the Underworld. Not to mention Gu Zheng, Wu You and Hu Yiming, who were with him every day, were even more surprised.
"Brother Yang, what's so good about this place? Didn't you say you missed your son last time? Why don't we go back together?"
"That's right. Let's go back. We can't do anything here. We might as well go back!"
Wu You and Hu Yiming were both persuading Yang Du. They had been together for the past few days and had established a very deep relationship.
"I know. I do miss my son, but he has his own path. Moreover, I am very relieved that he will follow Young Master. I believe that Young Master will not treat him unfairly!"
Yang Du slowly shook his head. As he spoke, he looked at Gu Zheng again. Gu Zheng nodded his head lightly.
Although Yang Du had only followed him halfway, he had always been cautious and conscientious. This time, he actually wanted to stay in the Underworld and not go back. Gu Zheng also felt that it was strange.
"There's no point in me going back. We already don't have a physical body. If we go back, we will either be possessed or become a ghost cultivator in the world of the living. Staying here is also a form of cultivation. Moreover, with Young Master's reputation, I will definitely be very safe here!"
Yang Du said slowly. He didn't have any big ambitions, nor did he have any high demands. He only wanted to be safe and sound.
He had already died once, and the great wilderness was now in a great war. There was no need to continue to go back. He was a ghost, a ghost cultivator. This was already an unchangeable fact. It was better to stay in the Underworld and cultivate. Moreover, he was a low-key person. With Gu Zheng's previous reputation, most people would not make things difficult for him.
This was enough for him.
"Since you want to stay, there's no problem. In the future, you will be my spokesperson in the Underworld. When there is a suitable opportunity in the future, I will help you establish your own force. Now, you will follow a person and help me look after my and Taotie's territory here!"
Yang Du wanted to stay. Gu Zheng did not object. However, he did not arrange for him to be with Wang Shuo. Instead, he wanted to arrange for him to be with Wang San.
More than half of Wang San's territory was his and Taotie's territory. Nominally, it was under Wang San's management. However, the ownership was still Gu Zheng and Taotie. Even Wang Shuo did not dare to say anything.
However, if Yang Du did not stay, these territories would be given to Wang San. But if Yang Du stayed, then he had to make arrangements for Yang Du and make preparations. Yang Du's cultivation was too weak. It was impossible for him to directly take over these territories. He had to let Wang San manage them for him.
When he cultivated to the level of Daluo Jinxian in the future, he could take over these things.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Yang Du bowed to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng said to him again, "You can rest assured that I will take good care of your son. I will not let him suffer any grievances, nor will I lack his cultivation resources. However, what kind of achievements he can have in the future will depend on himself. Do you understand?"
"I understand. With Young Master's words, it is enough!"
Yang Du bowed again. This was Gu Zheng's personal promise. It was not his previous guess. With Gu Zheng's words, he knew that his son would be stable in the future. He would not be like him before, working hard for a few cultivation resources. He was even willing to do things that other immortals were not willing to do.
"Well, this is for you!"
Gu Zheng gave Yang Du a storage bracelet. Yang Du took it and was stunned at a glance. There were all kinds of cultivation resources inside, and many of them were things that he did not know and did not understand. However, at a glance, he knew that they were not bad things.
There were a few things that he could recognize. They were all priceless treasures. For him, they were priceless treasures.
"You can use these first. In the future, there will be a part of them. As for you, you don't need so much. I will let the other side keep them for you. Each time, they will give you one-tenth. When you reach the Jin Xian Realm, they will give you one-third each time until you reach the Daluo Jinxian Realm!"
Gu Zheng was talking about his and Taotie's filial piety. Since Yang Du stayed here, these filial piety did not need to benefit Wang San. However, he could not give them all to Yang Du. His cultivation was too low, and there were too many things. It was not a good thing for him to take so many resources. Therefore, he only gave a part of them each time.
With these filial piety, Yang Du would not lack cultivation resources in the future.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Yang Du kowtowed again to express his gratitude. Gu Zheng released his hidden strength and did not let him kneel down.
"You don't have to be so polite. This time, you suffered for the sake of the prefectural city. However, after a great disaster, there will be good fortune. Your cultivation in the Underworld will not be worse than in the Untainted World. Perhaps, your achievements in the Underworld will be much higher than in the Untainted World!"
When Gu Zheng said this, he was thinking about the Underworld of the future. Although it was incorporated by the Heavenly Court, each major force was still a mighty lord.
Now that the Book of Life and Death was in his hands, it could not be with him forever. Sooner or later, it would be returned to the Underworld. When he became a Sage, the Book of Life and Death would not be in his hands.
When that time came, as long as Yang Du rose, Gu Zheng would not mind supporting his own King of Hell.
Wu You and Hu Yiming looked at Yang Du with envy. The two of them even wondered if they had made the wrong choice. Was it really better to stay in the Underworld than in the Untainted World?
However, they were only thinking about it. No matter how good the development was, they were not willing to stay. They all wanted to go back.
As for Wang San, Gu Zheng naturally made arrangements. At the same time, he taught the method of making the Grudge Cleansing Food Cultivation to Wang Shuo and Wang San.
He also made a pot of Grudge Cleansing Food Cultivation for himself and cleansed Wu You and Wang San's grievances. Yang Du cleansed his grievances with a bowl of Grudge Cleansing Food Cultivation. Wu You and Hu Yiming could not do it. They had to drink a few more bowls.
After drinking a bowl every few days, the two of them were completely cleansed of their grievances.
After finishing all this, Gu Zheng prepared to leave the Underworld. Before he left, he talked with Wang Shuo alone for a long time. No one knew what agreement they had reached. Anyway, the next day, Wang Shuo announced that Wang San had become his sworn brother. Anyone who went against Wang San was equivalent to going against him.
With his endorsement, even if some people were jealous of Wang San, they could do nothing. Wang Shuo, Wang San, and Hu Feng were no longer a force that one or two people could provoke. Even if a few people joined forces, they would not be able to deal with them. At least ten or more Daluo Jinxian would join forces to deal with them.
This was only to deal with the three of them. If the two outsiders returned, even ten Daluo Jinxian would not be confident.
Gu Zheng left, bringing Wu You and Hu Yiming's souls with him. The Underworld seemed to have returned to its original state. The only difference was that the structure had changed slightly.
However, the truly intelligent people knew that the peace of the Underworld would not last long. The impact of these two outsiders was far from as simple as killing two Daluo Jinxian. No one knew what would happen to the Underworld in the future.
Outside the prefectural city, Gu Zheng's manor.
Mado looked at Wu You, who was hidden in black, and felt a little sad and emotional. He and Wu You had always been competitors, but he never expected that there would be a day when they would be separated by life and death.
"The two of you, are you going to possess someone or cultivate as a ghost cultivator?"
In the manor, Gu Zheng asked Wu You and Hu Yiming. Hokkaido was also there. Looking at his disciple, his heart ached and he felt terrible.
"I want to be a ghost cultivator!" Wu You was the first to express his opinion. Hu Yiming looked at his master and nodded at the same time. "I also choose to be a ghost cultivator!"
Ghost cultivators. Both of them chose to be ghost cultivators. Gu Zheng was surprised and at the same time, gratified.
Possession would give one a physical body, but after possession, it would be difficult for one's cultivation to improve. Both of them would lose the possibility of becoming a Jin Xian. Although there was no possibility of becoming a sage as a ghost cultivator, it was still possible to become a Jin Xian or a Daluo Jinxian.
In fact, other than possession, there were many ways to obtain a physical body. The simplest way was to reconstruct a physical body like Nezha.
However, reconstructing a physical body was easier said than done. Gu Zheng's current strength was not enough, and he did not have enough resources. For the time being, there was no way to help them reconstruct a physical body.
When there was a chance in the future, it was not impossible to help them make a physical body.
In addition to reconstructing a physical body, there was another opportunity to obtain a physical body, and that was to become a god.
However, the Investiture of the Gods had not been published yet. Gu Zheng did not want his people to be involved in the Investiture of the Gods. There was no need to talk about this.
When the two of them returned, they did not return to the prefectural city for the time being. They only cultivated by Gu Zheng's side. Yang Du's son was also brought to Gu Zheng's side to cultivate with him. It could be said that Yang Du had given up on him to come back and help his son.
Lan Huo had been watching from the side. He could not understand Gu Zheng's actions, but he was also very emotional.
In his eyes, Wu You and the others were just servants. A mere Heaven Immortal was not worth their effort. However, Gu Zheng actually went to the Underworld for such a person.
Lan Huo also knew what kind of place the Underworld was. It was a completely different realm. Putting aside how Gu Zheng managed to find the Underworld, Lan Huo couldn't understand why Gu Zheng was willing to go to such a faraway place for a subordinate.
Although he could not figure it out, it did not affect his admiration for Gu Zheng. There were not many people like Gu Zheng who were affectionate and righteous.
This reduced Lan Huo's dissatisfaction. It did not seem to be a bad thing to follow such an affectionate and righteous person. Moreover, they were so powerful at such a young age. They might have a better future in the future. Thinking of this, Lan Huo accepted the fact that he was forced to stay.
After returning, Taotie went into seclusion. Wu You and Hu Yiming also received the ghost cultivation resources that Gu Zheng gave them and went into seclusion to cultivate.
In the Untainted Land, the Yang Qi was strong and the Yin Qi was weak. Gu Zheng specially set up a formation for them to block the Yang Qi and accumulate the Yin Qi. It became a place for them to cultivate.
Taotie also went into seclusion. This time, he had absorbed a lot of energy from the two Daluo Jinxian and had not digested it completely. He did not dare to go into seclusion in the Underworld, but it did not matter in the Untainted Land.
Wu You did not return to the prefectural city. Many things in the prefectural city fell on Mado's shoulders. He became busy. Only then did he know how hard Wu You had been in the past.
Hokkaido was still living in the city, but he went to the villa more often. Hu Yiming's appearance made him feel guilty, but he could not make up for it. Fortunately, Gu Zheng brought him back and gave him enough cultivation resources. Even if he became a ghost cultivator, he could still cultivate well.
Zhao Gongming did not reply for the time being. Many people already knew about Goblin's plan. However, the Sage did not say anything. Although some people were angry, they could not do anything.
This kind of thing could only be negotiated directly by the big shots. Even Daluo Jinxian could not do it. Now was the critical moment of the Great War between Liches and Demons. If the big shots did not say anything, the rest of the people naturally could not do anything.
Gu Zheng was very open-minded about this. Anyway, he knew the final result. As long as the prefectural city was fine, he could not care about other places. It was just right for him to be free and unfettered.
After living for a while, Gu Zheng suddenly went out by himself. In the past, his master Gokusen did not cultivate in one place for a long time. He also went out to experience and tasted various delicacies. On the one hand, he improved his culinary skills. On the other hand, he also increased his knowledge and cultivation.
Now, Gu Zheng was stronger than Gokusen at that time. His culinary skills were also better. This experience had fallen behind. After a period of peace, Gu Zheng simply left the villa and went out alone.
Before leaving, he had made arrangements for Taotie and Hokkaido. If there was anything, they could contact him urgently. With Taotie, he did not need to worry about the prefectural city's safety. This time, he went out by himself and was very relieved.
