This was Elder Qin's voice. No one believed it. What kind of move was this? How could it cause such a huge commotion? What about the other aura that wasn't inferior to Hua Long's?
But with Elder Qin's explanation, everyone left their doubts in their hearts and went back. After all, the battle of life and death was the day after tomorrow. Only a small portion of people stayed behind, trying to comprehend something.
Elder Qin said worriedly to Madam Qin, who was next to him, "Judging from the situation just now, I feel that this kid is about to break through. He is indeed a monster. No wonder the almighty Shura repeatedly asked us to protect him."
"Yes, but it's also a good thing. Once he breaks through, it'll be time for him to leave." Madam Qin comforted her husband.
"That's good news. If we hadn't told him to stop, do you think Hua Long would have dared to go up?" Elder Qin asked.
"Since you already have the answer in your heart, why do you have to be so conflicted? Besides, since that kid was chosen by Elder Xiong, there must be something special about him. We don't have to worry too much about him. Let's wait a little longer. Didn't Big Sister Xiong say that hope is coming soon?
Soon, Elder Qin confirmed that Gu Zheng had left. The two of them also disappeared into the sky.
Gu Zheng walked back to his home. That small injury just now would be healed after some rest.
Gu Zheng looked at the little bug in his hand. Didn't this little bug know that the battle was over? Why was she still in a defensive posture? It was like a lump of ice in his hand.
He used a finger to poke the little bug's body. It was hard. This level of defense was a level higher than her body.
"Little Bug, it's over. Wake up." Gu Zheng tried to test her.
He took out the little bug's favorite snack and placed the Flame Stone under her body.
There was no reaction. Gu Zheng hardened his heart and shook his hand, trying to wake her up. But the little bug's light flashed even faster, as if she was facing an attack.
Gu Zheng had no choice but to carry the stone all the way home. He really didn't know how to let her know that the battle was over and that she didn't need to maintain her defensive posture.
Back home, Gu Zheng felt that the little bug's aura was getting weaker and weaker. He felt that she was about to run out of energy and could no longer maintain that form.
After waiting for a while, the light on Xiao Chong's body completely dissipated. Xiao Chong opened his closed eyes and saw Gu Zheng standing in front of him, unscathed. He happily flew up and down. Although his eyes were tired, he still circled back and forth to make sure.
The little bug nodded satisfactorily and said to Gu Zheng......................
Gu Zheng nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. His eyes were sincere. "If you hadn't been seriously injured from flying, thanks to you, I would have been able to escape with you. Now that we're home, we're fine. Thank you very much."
Although the little bug's block had been useless, when someone was willing to block all the wind and rain for you, it meant that you held a high place in her heart.
The little bug's eyes curved into deep crescents. She said happily, "That's good. Oh right, this is a soft armour I made for you. It can protect you at all times. This way, I won't have to worry about you and Big Sister Xiong pulling my ear."
"Then your spell is really powerful. Why didn't you wake up on the way home?" Gu Zheng praised.
The little bug's expression froze. She looked a little embarrassed and stammered, "When I'm in that state, I'll block out the outside world. After all, I'm afraid of pain. Or you can use a special incantation to wake me up. But that's my Nannan's special incantation. For it to end naturally, the demonic aura in my body has to be exhausted."
Thinking of what she said just now, the little bug raised her upper body proudly and looked at Gu Zheng. She hurriedly took out something. The red and white light flashed and fell into Gu Zheng's palm.
Gu Zheng stared blankly at the thing in his hand. As the light dissipated, it was actually a ball of silk thread. It was cool and had an ancient green color to it. He could clearly feel the hardness of it.
The little bug leaned tiredly on Gu Zheng's shoulder, indicating for Gu Zheng to channel immortal aura into it. Gu Zheng did so. The ball of silk thread wriggled as soon as it was released from Gu Zheng's immortal aura. The silk thread started from his shoulder all the way to his waist, spinning around Gu Zheng in circles. From afar, it looked like a cocoon. It spun faster and faster. When it reached its limit, the light shone brightly and a net of light closed in on Gu Zheng's body.
It passed through his clothes without any resistance and stuck tightly to Gu Zheng's upper body. Gu Zheng felt a chill on his body. Then, he realized that the ball of light had turned into water ripples and stuck to his body. It was completely transparent. Even when he closed his eyes, he could not feel anything.
"This is what I've accumulated over the past few years. It's a pity that it's still not enough. Otherwise, I could make you a full-body armor. You can store enough immortal aura in it. At a critical moment, it can help you block an attack."
The little bug yawned, and her eyelids began to droop.
"Since you're fine, the clothes I made for you should be enough to replace me once. I'm going to rest for a while. This time, I seem to have used up a lot of energy. I need to rest for a while. Don't disturb me."
As she spoke, the little bug stuffed a few elixirs into her mouth and returned to Gu Zheng's ear. She spat out a white cocoon. Very quickly, the little bug wrapped in a circle and hung in Gu Zheng's ear, motionless.
Gu Zheng smiled. He felt the little bug's stable aura, and felt the close-fitting armor that the little bug had given him.
Gu Zheng's immortal aura was still being transferred. In the end, Gu Zheng was truly shocked. This was because this armor actually stored one-tenth of Gu Zheng's immortal aura. What did this mean? This could help Gu Zheng completely block a powerful attack from a peak Jin Xian. For example, the kick he had received in the previous battle. If he had this, he would not have been injured at all.
Moreover, this was completely automatic. He did not even have to think about it. It could play a key role in a situation where he could not react in time.
More importantly, if he ran out of immortal aura, he could also draw out the immortal aura stored in it in an instant and replenish himself without any hindrance. What a treasure!
He did not know how many heavenly treasures he had spent on this. For the few years that the little bug had mentioned, it was probably a hundred less. He did not know how many years it had been accumulating.
Thinking that there was still some time before the assembly, he could make use of this time to do some things.
As usual, he first placed a Warning Spirit Array around him, and then took out the materials that he had put together earlier.
Many rare and precious materials were placed on the ground as if they were worthless. Finally, Gu Zheng solemnly took out a three chi tall pill furnace.
Incomparably complex runes were densely carved on the furnace. Gu Zheng did not know how to refine pills, only how to cook. However, some principles were the same.
After preparing everything, Gu Zheng sent a surge of immortal aura into the pill furnace. The bottom of the pill furnace lit up without any fire. The little blue flames did not seem to be a threat.
Gu Zheng added in the materials bit by bit, carefully controlling the heat and the order in which he put in the materials. After a while, he would eat a pill to replenish his immortal aura.
One day and one night passed. On the second day, Gu Zheng's expression was already full of fatigue. Because of the demonic seed, he had to use the pill furnace. He was not good at it, so his mental energy was much more than usual. Until now, the progress had only reached 70%. More than half of the small mountain of materials had already been used up.
However, the progress in the furnace was not progressing at all, as if it was going to be stuck here. Thinking of the little bug's tired face at the end, Gu Zheng made up his mind. He bit the tip of his tongue, forced out a drop of blood, and put it into the materials.
Once the blood entered, it immediately had a huge effect. Like a catalyst, all the progress was greatly accelerated. Finally, after a few hours, everything was ready. He was ready to open the furnace and take out the pills.
There was no scene of a fragrant aroma. Only two semicircular circles flew out from the furnace. The two were exactly the same, as if they were perfectly separated from a circle, dancing in the air.
Gu Zheng raised his hand to wipe away the non-existent sweat. He was really tired. Although there was a big flaw and he had wasted a lot of precious herbs, it was all worth it.
Gu Zheng took out the lost pill he bought from the auction and controlled it to float in the air. With a thought, the two semicircular circles flew over and surrounded the lost pill.
When they came into contact with each other, there was a flash of light. Even the last crack disappeared, tightly wrapping the lost pill inside. Floating in the air, Gu Zheng carefully took out a jade bottle and stored it.
There were still a few hours before the assembly. Although the consumption was a little out of Gu Zheng's expectations, it was all worth it.
Gu Zheng put everything away and quickly sat down. He threw a handful of pills into his mouth and quietly recovered the immortal aura and mental energy in his body. At this time, it was not a problem of waste.
"Wu, wu, wu." A deep voice rang out from above the valley. This voice was filled with an ancient charm. It was desolate and calm, passionate and sad. It seemed to be whispering about the upcoming war, encouraging them to fight. There was also a hint of sadness in the voice.
The tranquil world seemed to have been broken. All the people and demonic beasts who were waiting for this moment came out from their respective resting places.
Regardless of whether they were confused, afraid, excited, or passionate, all of them were moving in the same direction.
The voice also interrupted Gu Zheng's thoughts of recovering. This was the voice of the assembly of the valley. Although his body and mental energy had not fully recovered, it should be enough.
There was no need to pack anything. He opened the door and directly set off for the valley. Maybe the next time he came back, the neighbors would have changed.
Following the flow of people, Gu Zheng arrived at the valley. The Qin couple and the elders were already waiting at the front of the valley. Including Wu Xiu, there were five other people there.
Groups of people returned to their positions. All the loose cultivators lined up in an orderly manner at the back, like birds returning to their nest.
Everyone had come to their senses. No one spoke. They stood there in silence. An austere atmosphere slowly spread.
When no one else came, Elder Qin took a step forward and shouted loudly.
"Official teams, report."
Ji Yi was the first to come out from the first row and shouted.
"Second team, leader Ji Yi. Six people."
After Ji Yi finished speaking, he stepped back.
"Third team, leader Hua Long. Six people."
.....
"17th team, leader Han Mo. Three people."
"19th team, leader Ou Jiang. Six people."
....
"22nd team, no leader. Four people."
The temporary reporting member said with tears in his eyes.
Every team reported their losses one by one. It was unknown how many people heard that there were fewer people or that there wasn't even a team leader. There were even a few teams that were completely wiped out. Their eyes turned red. They would stay here forever, sacrificing themselves for the faith in their hearts and for everyone else.
Elder Qin's eyes were also filled with tears. Every time, there would be many good people who would lose their lives. No matter what their status was outside, they would all lose their lives here for their dreams.
Madam Qin waved her hand, and stars filled the sky, flying towards the loose cultivators behind her. Gu Zheng saw a shining white light enter his arm, giving off a warm aura.
Everyone had one. Madam Qin put the stars away and said in a sorrowful tone,
"Friends, this year, we only have 140 people in the official team. Six teams have disappeared, and some of the loose cultivators have not returned. Let us pay our respects to our nameless heroes."
Elder Qin lowered his head as a sign of respect. Everyone, including Gu Zheng, lowered their heads, paying their respects to the soldiers who had sacrificed themselves.
"Friends, the cycle of reincarnation that occurs once every 500 years has come. We can't run away from it, and we can't run away from it. Everyone knows why we have to struggle, even if we are the targets of their trials."
Elder Qin shouted from above. "Because we all have the same goal in our hearts, and that is to destroy this evil world so that our family, friends, and race will not suffer this kind of torment. When we came in, the old us had already died, and the new us had already come back to life."
"All the time, day and night, year after year, danger is everywhere. The number of ancestors who have died accidentally is innumerable, because there is no fairy tale here, no pity, only the courage to move forward."
"Now, it's not just us who are standing here, but also your families, friends, and nameless heroes.
"Do you have the courage to face this battle of life and death?
"Do you have the courage to follow the countless seniors who sacrificed their lives for peace? Do you have the courage to take up the flag that will never wither, and use it to break this world that binds us?"
Elder Qin stepped into the air, and a soul-stirring aura surged from his body as he roared.
"For countless years, countless people have fought for this goal. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we can't give up. The heroes who sacrificed themselves to protect us for so long have always been watching us. Now, it's time for us to carry it. For the heroes, for us, for freedom, let's go!
"None of us here are cowards. Please remember our past helplessness. Please familiarize yourself with the faces of our friends. Please calmly face the problems that we have to face. No matter what, we will never regret it.
"Let us charge to the end of the sky, to the end of the earth. Before our lives disappear, we! No matter what, forever! No! Let! Go! "
Elder Qin twisted his neck and shouted, "Then, are we afraid?"
Everyone raised their hands, including Madam Qin and a few people behind her, and shouted in unison.
"No!" Their voices were like thunder.
"Do you dare?"
"Do you dare?"
Countless people roared in unison. Even Gu Zheng joined in, and their shouts shook the heavens.
Elder Qin was the first to turn around and take a step forward. He walked towards his destination, followed by Madam Qin. Below them were the five people accompanying them.
Ji Yi was the first to step forward and follow behind him. Everyone else was silent as they silently followed their companions in front of them. They formed a few lines and advanced forward.
Everyone's hearts were filled with battle intent. They all knew that from the moment they entered, they had already died. They had only been thrown here out of pity. Their friends, if they didn't destroy this world, they would never be able to see them again.
For their parents, brothers, and fellow Sect members, everyone wanted to end this nightmarish world.
With resolute hearts and firm beliefs, they walked towards their goal.
Madam Qin looked at her husband, whose eyes were filled with tears. This kind of scene only happened once every 500 years. Why did they have to endure it? Every year, many people were captured, because they could only rely on themselves.
Madam Qin also hid her tears. She would never forget that she had a child at home. Without her, she didn't know how he was doing.
She had to end this place, no matter how long it had been. Even if she had to give up her life, she wouldn't hesitate.
She would never compromise!
.....
At the border between the Central Forest and this place, there were already many Shura people waiting. Everyone looked anxious and restless. Anyone would be impatient if they had to wait in this godforsaken place for a month.
If it wasn't for the fact that a powerful person from their clan came to inspect some people, they would have already dispersed and stood there obediently.
Many people here had participated in many battles, but this was the first time someone from the top had come to interfere. However, these higher-ups' matters had nothing to do with them. They just needed to sharpen their weapons.
"I say, Master Hao, how many people do you think will be left?" At the front, two humans surrounded a Shura Clan elite and asked flatteringly.
If Wu Xiaofeng's people saw these two people, they would know that they were the greatest traitors of humanity, Ou Yangping and You Xing. Their portraits were pasted in a special place.
Both of them were at the early-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm. Before the deadline of the Asura Race's ultimatum, they brought many people to surrender and became the strongest traitors under the Asura Race. At that time, no one understood why they had to surrender. No one knew how many people wanted them dead.
Usually, they would sit in the east and take care of things there. Usually, they would only lead a team here for the great battle that happened once every 500 years. However, this time, a powerful person had come. Not to mention that his cultivation was a level higher than theirs, even if his cultivation was lower, they would still have to curry favor with him.
They had no choice. If it was an ordinary Shura, they could ignore it. After all, they were high-ranking slaves and were only under the jurisdiction of the higher-ups.
