When everyone heard this, those who could move followed behind Gu Zheng. Dozens of people followed behind him noisily.
When they arrived at the hall, they surrounded the hole. They didn't expect there to be another space below. No wonder the hall was so high.
Gu Zheng was the first to jump down, followed closely by the rest of the people.
"Where is it, Lord Gu? Where is that damned Messenger Wu's corpse?" Everyone was curious about the different environment.
However, they didn't see Messenger Wu. There was only a charred figure on the ground and a hall in the distance.
"Is this Messenger Wu's corpse?" asked an Asura. There was only one corpse here.
Gu Zheng nodded his head firmly, indicating that this was indeed the body of Crow Emissary.
A few people surrounded it. One of them was a captive Asura. He hated Messenger Wu even more now.
A few people walked back and forth, sizing him up. They wanted to recognize him from his charred body, but it was indeed very difficult. Basically, they couldn't see him clearly.
"He has a broken finger and a few wounds on his abdomen. It seems to be him," said an Asura who observed carefully.
"Look at me. I have a way to confirm it." A Shura walked in from the outside. Then, he sprinkled a bit of black gas from his hand. He used his spiritual perception and saw that the black gas seemed to have a mind of its own. It circled around the corpse a few times and then all of it entered the corpse.
The Asura controlled the black gas and came out again. After a few times, he nodded.
"This is Messenger Wu's corpse. The black gas was released by Messenger Wu. I collected some of it. Now, I'm sure it's Messenger Wu's corpse," said the Asura confidently.
At this moment, some of the people who had gone into the black hall came out. The person in the lead said to everyone, "There's only a broken crystal inside. After being appraised, that crystal was a medium for storing souls. However, it's already broken, so it's useless."
Everyone searched the other places again. After finding nothing suspicious, they dragged Messenger Wu's corpse out and told everyone that Messenger Wu was dead.
Everyone cheered again and placed him in the center of the hall. Everyone went up and punched and kicked him to vent their anger. If it wasn't for everyone holding back, he would have been beaten into minced meat. Just like that, all the bones in his body were crushed into powder.
Just as he was venting his anger, a fan fell from his arms.
"That's his magic treasure." One of the sharp-eyed people shouted. However, there was no spiritual light coming from the fan, and they couldn't sense any spirituality at all. It was already damaged and completely worthless.
In the end, the fire burned him along with his body, leaving nothing behind.
"Are we just going to wait for the people outside to save us?" A sudden voice made everyone quiet down.
"That can't be. When he was dying, I used a soul-searching technique to directly read some of his memories. Although I don't know how to open the palace, I just happened to see it."
Gu Zheng said directly. He absolutely couldn't allow those peak Golden Immortals to come over. Otherwise, it was very likely that he wouldn't be able to hide his identity from them.
Gu Zheng stood there and kept waving his hand. Soon, the ground trembled and the hole they came in from had automatically expanded into a relatively large circle.
Everyone felt an aura that they hadn't felt in a long time. It was a somewhat foul aura from outside. How nostalgic. Now, everyone could finally go out.
You Xing had already started circling outside two days ago. Normally, they should have come out two days ago. However, there was still no movement below.
Could it be that the mysterious person had killed all the people below? He was frightened by this thought. In the blink of an eye, he smiled and shook this thought out of his mind.
There was only a peak Jin Xian below. In front of so many people, he wasn't worth mentioning. Although he didn't know what method he used to kill many Shura people, once they reacted, it was none of his business. They drowned him with the crowd.
Although it had only been a few days, it was normal. No one would think that there would be any problems if it was a few days later. Instead, they would think that they were delayed by something below.
However, he kept feeling that something was wrong with the situation. He was a little uneasy, but he couldn't break through. He could only be anxious. He couldn't calm down and meditate above, so he could only walk back and forth to dissipate the uneasiness in his heart.
The ground suddenly trembled, and the hole from before expanded again. Before You Xing could look down, the Shuras rose up from the ground.
Everyone had traces of battle on them. Some of them even had pale faces.
"Where's Lord Hao? What happened below? Why are all of you injured?" You Xing pretended not to know what had happened below and grabbed an Shura to ask.
"Lord Hao is still behind, but he's already unconscious." When the Shura saw You Xing asking him, he hurriedly told him everything that had happened below.
By the time he finished speaking, everyone had already come up. Lord Hao was carried by others, including Ding Xiao.
Ji Yi's team didn't lose a single person. After they came up, they didn't even look back as they carried Ji Yi and quickly left.
No one stopped them. Regardless, Ji Yi had contributed. With him heavily injured, they didn't want to take advantage of him.
When You Xing saw Lord Hao, he immediately flashed to his side and placed his hand on him. He felt his aura. Although it was a little weak, it was relatively stable and his life wasn't in danger.
Only then did You Xing pretend to heave a sigh of relief. Seeing that only a few people had come out, he was somewhat glad. He knew that if he didn't regain his memories, he would probably suffer in the future.
Although they weren't the elites of the clan, the upper echelons would still feel the pinch for losing so many people at once. Then, he was the best scapegoat. It would be difficult to quell the anger of the masses even if he didn't die.
"Are you really not going back with me?" At that moment, Pan Xuan and Gu Zheng were beside her. She looked at Gu Zheng with anticipation and asked again, hoping that he would agree to her wishes.
"No, I still have something to do. You go back first. With so many people accompanying me, there won't be any accidents." Gu Zheng thought for a moment and shook his head.
Pan Xuan had wanted Gu Zheng to go with her to the South to recover and turn in her mission, but Gu Zheng had refused. She really hoped that he would accompany her. She didn't care about her face and asked again, but the answer was the same.
Perhaps he really did have something to do. Pan Xuan comforted herself in her heart. She put her hand on her chest and felt the coldness from it.
"You, you, and you. You all go back to Puppet Town and help Lord Hao with his treatment." At that moment, You Xing pointed at a few people, including Gu Zheng.
"The others, if you want to go south, then go south. If you want to follow me to Puppet Town, then follow me. I won't wait for you."
"Right, Miss Pan, where are you going next?" You Xing asked politely.
"To the South," Pan Xuan said in a low voice.
"That's great, Miss Pan. I'll have to trouble you to report the situation to the Special Envoy when you go to the south. I won't be sending people anymore. I'm also very surprised that this happened. I really don't know what happened down there. I hope you can put in a few good words for me."
You Xing had a fawning smile as he begged Pan Xuan.
"Okay, I'll report it. If there's nothing else, I'll go first." At that moment, after hearing You Xing's words, some people began to go south one after another.
"Okay, okay. Miss Pan, please slow down." You Xing nodded and bowed. He looked like a dog, almost wagging his tail.
Pan Xuan glanced at Gu Zheng and directly left. She didn't need to go all out. She could still go a simple way.
Gu Zheng was very grateful for You Xing's help. He didn't need to say that he had something to do. Looking at You Xing's face was much more pleasing to the eye.
"Let's go." You Xing's face was cold, and he ordered the others.
He picked the stronger ones, so they could go back faster. He didn't need to waste too much time.
Gu Zheng and a few others carried Mister Hao and Ding Xiao, and they followed You Xing.
Behind him, 30 or so Shuras followed. The others all went to the south because the healing effects there were better.
The people who went to Puppet Town had things they needed to pack. Some people wanted to go to the arena to recover. The healing effects there were worse than in the south, but better than in Puppet Town.
Soon, this place was empty, and the round hole in the ground slowly closed. No one could see that there was another world below, and everything returned to its previous tranquility.
At this time, in a manor, Mister Feng and Mister Yu were talking. There was a table full of delicious food in front of them, and they were both smiling. It looked like they had been having a good time.
"By the way, it should be over now, right?" While they were talking, Young Master Phoenix suddenly changed the topic and asked about what had happened inside.
"At this time, it should be within these two days. It should be over soon. Soon, there will be a bloody massacre inside." Young Master Yu calculated with his fingers and said with a smile.
"Mister Yu, with you in charge, I'm not worried." Mister Feng raised his wine cup and said to Mister Yu, "For your hard work, let me toast you."
After saying that, he drained his cup in one gulp.
"You're too kind. Mister Feng, it's all because of your good command. I was just following your instructions. Of course, the biggest contributor is you, Mister Feng." There were no maids nearby, only the two of them. Mister Yu quickly filled Mister Feng's cup.
"Speaking of which, you're the one who made me raise my head in front of the elders. Of course I'll remember this favor. Actually, I'm just basking in Mister Feng's glory. Let me toast you three times to thank you." Mister Yu drank three cups in a row.
Mister Feng repeatedly waved his hand, indicating that Mister Yu was the biggest contributor. His eyes narrowed and his face was as happy as a flower.
In truth, Mister Yu's status wasn't lower than Mister Feng's. It was just that Mister Feng had made several major achievements in this period of time that had attracted endless praise from the elders.
How could Mister Feng not be happy when he saw Mister Yu flattering him and looking at him as if he was the leader?
The two of them once again drank and complimented each other. They didn't even touch the delicious food on the table. The atmosphere between the two of them became even more lively.
"Mister Feng, how's the investigation of your capable subordinate, Hei Yan, going? Why hasn't there been any news yet?" Mister Yu suddenly remembered what had happened a while ago. At that time, Mister Feng had been infuriated. Hei Yan was his most promising subordinate.
"There's a small hunting group nearby. I've already arranged for people to go there. But they were delayed by something. That matter is also very important. They'll go after they're done." Mister Feng pondered for a moment before saying.
"If others want to go, they'll spend too much time on the road. It's not worth it. On the other hand, they'll only need a few years to complete it. Moreover, they've already sent some people to investigate."
"I'm just curious. Who could kill Hei Yan? He's very powerful in the clan," Mister Yu said with regret. It was said that Hei Yan had a high chance of entering the Grand Heavenly Realm within a few hundred thousand years. What a pity.
"No matter who it is, I'll make him regret it. Anyone who dares to kill my, Mister Feng's, will have to pay a painful price." Mister Feng's eyes flashed with a trace of fierceness.
"Let's not talk about this unpleasant topic. It's still early. Let's continue drinking. It's rare for us to have a break in our busy schedule. This time, let's drink to our heart's content." Mister Yu raised his cup and said loudly.
"Come, come. This time, I'll make you drunk." Mister Feng laughed and threw the previous question to the back of his mind. He then issued a challenge to Mister Yu.
"Who's afraid of who? We don't know who'll fall first." Mister Yu said, unwilling to be outdone.
The two of them started to fight. Their chatter and laughter were endless, spreading far and wide. As for the maidservants, they stayed far away. They lowered their heads and waited for orders.
.....
After seven days, You Xing gave the order to take a break. The ten of them stopped very quickly.
Because everyone was running at full speed, they consumed too much energy. In order to prevent Mister Hao from getting bumped along the way, You Xing had no choice but to do so.
Now that Ding Xiao and Mister Hao's aura had stabilized, as long as their injuries recovered slightly, they would be able to wake up.
Gu Zheng put down the things carefully. He quickly stuffed a recovery elixir into his mouth and sat on the ground to meditate.
For the past few days, he had to take one every day. He felt like he was about to turn into a medicine bottle.
He had no choice. Although his injuries were not serious, he did not have the time to recover the Immortal Qi in his body. In order to maintain full speed, he had no choice but to take the elixir to replenish himself. Otherwise, he would not have been able to last so long.
After You Xing checked the condition of the two of them and ensured that Mister Hao and Ding Xiao were fine, he looked around and walked up to Gu Zheng.
"You, come with me. There's something important I need you to do."
"Me? Alright." Gu Zheng saw You Xing looking at him. After confirming that it was indeed him, he had no choice but to get up from the ground and follow You Xing out.
Soon, the two of them disappeared from this resting place. The others were not curious at all. They even felt that they were lucky not to have involved themselves. Who knew what kind of stupid mission he had arranged? It was strenuous and unrewarding.
When Mister Hao woke up, he could say that he had escorted him back. This way, he would leave a good impression on him.
If something good happened and Mister Hao remembered him, then all the benefits would come back to him. With one less person, his contribution would be greater.
Everyone wished that they were alone. Unfortunately, Mister You needed two people to take care of one. The other could be replaced at any time.
Gu Zheng followed behind You Xing. He felt uneasy. Could it be that he had been discovered?
That should not be the case. If that was the case, why would he bring him out alone?
Could it be that there was something he needed him to do?
Along the way, Gu Zheng's thoughts ran wild. When You Xing stopped, he almost did not react in time and bumped into him.
"Mister You, if there's anything you need, please instruct me. I will definitely do my best to complete it," Gu Zheng said respectfully when he saw that You Xing had turned around.
You Xing did not say a word. His sharp eyes constantly scanned Gu Zheng's body as though he wanted to see through him. At the same time, he was constantly checking for a third person nearby.
"Take this and recuperate well." You Xing handed over a bottle of elixir.
"Mister You, this is too expensive. I have some of my own. Thank you for your concern." Gu Zheng pretended to be flattered. In fact, he was feeling uneasy. He did not know what You Xing was trying to do.
Under Gu Zheng's puzzled gaze, You Xing waved his hand and set up a barrier to ensure that no one would eavesdrop on their conversation. There was no harm in being careful.
"Gu Zheng, Elder Xiong asked me to tell you something." After You Xing was done, he slowly opened his mouth and said.
"What?" When Gu Zheng heard the other party say that, his heart jumped in fright.
He instinctively took a step back and took out the gourd with his left hand and the Magistrate Brush with his right. He was ready to strike. At the same time, his body flashed with a hazy light.
At the same time, he looked at You Xing. He did not understand how You Xing knew about Elder Xiong. Could it be that someone had told on him? Now that he was trapped inside, he could not escape.
However, when he saw the smile on You Xing's face and the teasing look in his eyes, he remained motionless and continued to look at him.
A bold guess appeared in his mind. Could You Xing be from this side? Otherwise, how would he know that he had met Elder Xiong? After Elder Qin and the Old Man separated, they had not met Elder Xiong.
Elder Xiong had been hiding there to prevent himself from being discovered.
How could he say Elder Xiong's name? This could only mean that Elder Xiong had looked for him before and knew that he was underground. Otherwise, he would not have asked Elder Xiong to tell him to take action.
In that case, Elder Xiong had already left the mountain. Their meticulous plan had already begun. Gu Zheng thought that it would take a few decades or a hundred years. He did not expect it to be so fast.
Otherwise, how could he have suddenly exposed his identity after hiding for so long? He had not noticed at all. Moreover, it seemed that Elder Qin had deliberately told him to stay away from Elder Xiong so that he would not be discovered for no reason.
