You Xing actually did this on purpose, because he captured Pan Xuan's heart in such a short period of time, which made him very curious. What was so special about this newcomer who had only been here for a few years that even Elder Xiong looked at him with such respect?
He deliberately did this to see how he would react.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Gu Xijiu's expression became extremely ugly. He instantly took out a bunch of magic treasures.
He was not blind. Although Gu Xijiu only revealed three magic treasures, each one was more shocking than the last. The aura on them felt like they were Xiantian items. How did he bring them in?
Especially the gourd in his other hand, it gave him a feeling of death. There was also a ball on his waist that was faintly emitting a warning aura.
This kid had so many good things on him that even he could not help but be envious. One had to know that he did not have a Xiantian treasure. If Old Xiong had not repeatedly arranged for him to protect Gu Xijiu's safety, he would have snatched it away.
He originally wanted to see Gu Xijiu's frightened expression, but soon his expression relaxed. It seemed that he had guessed his identity.
The two of them tacitly did not ask each other's identity. At this moment, they both understood that they were teammates in the same trench.
However, You Xing knew too much about Gu Zheng. From the moment he appeared until the end of the competition, he had analyzed all the information.
"Did you get a pair of red gloves down there?" You Xing saw Gu Zheng put away all the items in his hands. It seemed that Gu Zheng already knew his identity. He might as well ask directly.
"Yes, but it was already taken by Pan Xuan." Although Gu Zheng did not personally hear her say it, he was definitely one of them. He just did not expect Gu Xijiu to have hidden for so long. If Old Xiong had not arranged something, he definitely would not have known his identity.
"What? You gave it to her? Hurry up and chase after her. Borrow it from Pan Xuan. We need it to help us with something. " You Xing did not think of this problem. Old Xiong told him to just ask Gu Zheng for it. He thought that Gu Zheng had it.
"Don't let her go back to the south. If she goes back, she will fall into the hands of the special envoy. We will not be able to take it back."
Seeing You Xing's face immediately become anxious, he slowly opened his mouth.
"I have another one, but I didn't get it down there. Mrs. Qin gave it to me."
"You …" You Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he pointed at Gu Zheng. He knew that the other party was taking revenge on him for what he had done just now, so he purposely spoke later. He threw the jade bottle in his hand over.
"Brat, your luck is pretty good. You even managed to obtain this item. This is something that the Special Envoy has been looking for for thousands of years."
"What's the use of this thing? Aside from being able to absorb the blood diamond-like thing, I don't see anything special about it." Gu Zheng took out the glove and looked it over.
"Hurry up and put it away. This thing can't be left outside for too long. Shura's envoy will sense it." You Xing looked at the item in Gu Zheng's hand. Although he had never seen it before, this item was so special. If his guess was correct, it should be it. He quickly ordered him to put it away.
"I'm not sure either. It's said that you can control something here. It's very important. What you're absorbing down there is a mysterious crystal, right? I don't know its specific use either."
You Xing didn't know the secret of the blood diamond-like thing. If it weren't for the fact that they were down there, Mister Hao wouldn't have let Gu Zheng take the risk to absorb it and reveal this secret.
"Gu Zheng, when we return to Puppet Town, heal your injuries and come find me. I'll find a chance to gather everyone. At that time, take this glove to the tower behind and put it away." You Xing said with a serious expression. This was something that Elder Xiong had asked Gu Zheng to do, and he was covering for him.
"No way, it's so tall. How can I put it away? I don't even know how to do it." Gu Zheng cried out in shock. Although it was also a treasure, he wasn't making things difficult for himself.
"I don't know either. That's what Elder Xiong told me. Do as you see fit. If you really can't do it, just give up. Don't force it." Of course, You Xing didn't know that Elder Xiong was just giving it a try. He had only caught a glimpse of the envoy using the red glove to bring the tower over.
In the beginning, there was no tower. Later on, some disciples who didn't cultivate the Asura Cultivation Technique complained that the recovery here was too slow, so the old ancestor came in from outside.
At first, it was at the southernmost side, but for some reason, it was placed at Puppet Town.
"Okay, I'll do my best." Since it was Elder Xiong's arrangement, Gu Zheng would naturally give it a try.
"Okay, but whether it succeeds or not, you have to leave. You can go back to the valley or to Xuan Peak, the place where you first met Elder Xiong. There's a big surprise waiting for you there."
You Xing directly instructed. Especially the last sentence, it seemed to have a deeper meaning.
With that, You Xing tore off the barrier and brought Gu Zheng back.
"Rest for two more hours and then we'll leave." Arriving in front of everyone, You Xing's expression returned to normal as he ordered coldly.
Gu Zheng looked at the people around him who were looking at him curiously. There was even a person who secretly approached him.
"Fellow Daoist, what did Lord You arrange for you to do? Tell me, I might be able to help." He tried to ask something and see if he could get some benefits.
"Nothing, I'm just supposed to stay in Puppet Town at all times. If there's anything that needs me, I have to do it without hesitation. Lord You will give me a reward." Gu Zheng randomly spouted some nonsense.
"That's not bad. You might get some treasure as a reward." That person patted Gu Zheng's shoulder and said enviously. Now that Gu Zheng's cultivation was the highest, it was no wonder that it fell on his head. There was no need to be jealous.
"En, en, for everyone, this is nothing." Gu Zheng vaguely said. He then sat down and ignored that person as he began to adjust his breathing.
That person looked at Gu Zheng and didn't want to talk. He also walked to the side.
Soon, everyone set off on their journey.
A month later, they had all arrived at Puppet Town. Compared to before, the entire Puppet Town now felt deserted.
Ouyang Ping had already noticed that something was wrong with this group of people. He had already come out and was guarding the front.
"You Xing, what's going on? Why is Lord Hao also injured?" After waiting for them to come over, Ouyang Ping asked bluntly. One had to know that the two of them were responsible for this situation. If Lord Hao pursued them after this, it would be a big joke.
"It's a long story, but don't worry, we'll be fine. It's just an accident. We'll talk about it when we come back."
In the face of Ouyang Ping's question, he did not say much. He was only worried that Ouyang Ping would be implicated. This cowardly and weak trash had long been enslaved from head to toe. As long as he wanted to live, he would dare and be willing to do anything.
"Okay, I'll go first. I'll open the treatment room and wait for you guys." Ouyang Ping said and left directly. There were plenty of medicines in the treatment room. There were also some rare medicines that were specially prepared for accidents.
The others followed behind You Xing and went straight to the hall in the middle.
Soon, they arrived at a remote room above the hall. Ouyang Ping had already prepared everything. He hurriedly instructed them to carefully place Lord Hao on a blood red ice bed and Ding Xiao on a blue ice bed.
"You guys can go out. I don't need you guys for the rest." Ouyang Ping was in a bad mood and his tone was a little harsh.
Some of them wanted to stay, but the other party chased them out. Including Gu Zheng, they were all chased out.
After everyone left, one of them complained, "I still want to stay there and show Lord Hao my sincerity."
"Okay, don't say so much useless things. You might as well wait for him to wake up and see Lord Hao first. Then you can show your sincerity." One of them was more optimistic. "Anyway, we've contributed a lot. Can't you see that Ouyang Ping's eyes are red? He's even more worried than us."
"Let's go, let's go back and rest. After such a long time, my whole body is tense and I don't have any time to rest. I'm going to die of exhaustion," another Asura said. After saying that, he directly left and prepared to return to his residence.
Gu Zheng also returned to Pan Xuan's bamboo house. Looking at everything familiar, it was as if he could see Pan Xuan walking down from above and stretching out her hands with a smile.
Shaking his head, Gu Zheng dispelled the fantasy in his mind. Once again, he sat down and began to meditate and recuperate.
A few days before Gu Zheng returned, a figure just came out of the tower. Looking at the surroundings, there was still no trace of life. Looking around, the once bustling scene was no longer there. There was not even a single person. The desolation was very different from before.
Perhaps they haven't returned yet. Su Nan knew about the strange movements in the distance. He also heard that a secret realm seemed to have opened.
However, he did not want to participate. Now that he had finally adjusted his body to a complete state, he took one last look at this place and lifted his feet to leave without hesitation.
When he was a day's journey away from here, he carefully exhaled a mouthful of fog. The fog condensed into a mini stick and flew towards his ear.
Soon, a slightly languid voice sounded in his ear.
"Little Nan, can I come out?"
After saying that, a blue light rapidly flew out of his ear and landed on the ground, turning into a beautiful young girl.
She was wearing a blue dress. Her blue eyes were as pure and flawless as the color of the sky. However, she looked a little dazed, as if she had not yet woken up.
"Ah … ha." The young girl rubbed her sleepy eyes with her hands, then stretched her limbs and stretched her muscles and bones. She opened her small mouth and yawned. Only now did she fully wake up from last night's events.
"Hehe, Little Nan." This young girl was Little Worm. Seeing Little Nan standing to the side, she giggled and leaned over, hooking her arm around his.
"For you." Little Nan did not need to look to know what she was thinking. He stretched out his hand and threw a pile of things over.
Little Worm hurriedly caught them and looked at them. Her eyes turned into rainbows, and only a ray of blue light could be seen. A sweet dimple appeared on her cheek.
"Xiao Nan, I knew you're the best." Xiao Chong happily spun around Xiao Nan's body, then suddenly kissed Xiao Nan's face.
"Hehe." Before he could react, Little Worm had already run to the front with a smile. Her sweet laughter echoed in the air as she began to happily eat the delicacies in her hands.
Little Nan felt those soft lips on his face and felt Little Worm's sweet breath. His whole body froze, unable to move for a long time.
"Come on, Little Nan, you're so slow." Little Worm's voice came from afar. From her voice, one could feel a carefree, happy, and free aura.
"Coming." Only then did Little Nan lift his slightly stiff legs. After a long while, a smile appeared on his face.
The two of them quickly met up and walked together, walking towards the path of freedom.
Half a month after Gu Zheng entered a meditative state, he finally woke up again. Feeling refreshed, he went outside.
At this time, there were even fewer people here. After some people came here, they packed up their things and did not stay for long, heading straight to the south.
There was basically not a single person outside. It was completely empty.
When Gu Zheng passed by a street, he suddenly heard many roars coming from the side. This was a medium-sized circular building.
Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he circled around to enter. Sure enough, there was not a single person inside. This was an arena. Pan Xuan had introduced it to him before, and they had even watched two matches together. The fiery atmosphere was very shocking.
At the bottom level, there were rows of specially-made railings. There were many puppets behind them. At a glance, there were more than 20 human puppets. When some of the puppets saw Gu Zheng, their roars grew louder, and they kept sizing him up.
These were all puppets left behind. Usually, many people liked to come here to watch the performances. Now that the masters of these puppets were dead, even if they were not dead, they did not care to clean up these things.
One had to know that these puppets' minds were bloodthirsty. Other than their masters, no one else could command them. Under normal circumstances, they were locked behind the railings, and they just lay there obediently.
Now that many of the puppets had lost their masters' control, they had gone completely crazy. Under normal circumstances, if they encountered such a situation, they would just kill these people.
But in this situation, no one had the time to clean up.
When Gu Zheng saw these puppets gnashing their teeth at him, he laughed instead. Good, he could make use of these puppets for a while.
The railings flashed with a blue light. Whenever the beasts came close, many small electric arcs would fly out from the railings. These special electric arcs were not very powerful, but they could increase the pain by ten times. The huge pain caused the puppets to retreat.
But after a while, the narrow space forced them to want to go out again.
They had no consciousness at all. They did not know that as long as they ignored the pain, they could take down the railings and obtain freedom.
He found a place that seemed to be a formation. The light on the railings was provided by this place. As long as he broke this place, the puppets would be able to rush out without any obstacles.
Thinking about the scene of them rushing out, Gu Zheng kept leaving clouds of immortal qi around. Within seven days, if he was within a certain distance, he would be able to blow this place up.
The puppets would escape from here, and then there would be a good show to watch.
Gu Zheng knew that if he successfully moved the tower away, it would attract everyone's attention.
When he released these puppets, it would cause a lot of trouble for them. It should be known that this was the weakest time in the history of Puppet Town.
The weakest of these puppets were Jin Xian early stage, and the strongest were late stage. They were not easy to deal with, especially when they were not afraid of death.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng nodded in satisfaction. He then disguised himself a little and left.
After a while, Gu Zheng came to the central hall. There were already a few people waiting here.
Gu Zheng ignored them and went straight to the innermost staircase, only to find that there were two guards there.
Seeing Gu Zheng come, one of them asked politely, "What's the matter, Daoist Gu?"
He was also someone who came back from the secret realm. It could be said that their lives were saved by Gu Zheng.
"I'm here to check on Lord Hao's situation." Gu Zheng did not expect someone to be here.
"Lord Ouyang said that no one is allowed to come up unless it's important." The guard next to him said, "But since Lord Gu is here, I'll ask if you can go in."
"Okay, sorry for the trouble." Gu Zheng nodded. He now understood why those people were outside. They could not go in, so they could only wait outside for an opportunity.
The guard turned and went up. After a while, he came back and gestured to Gu Zheng.
"Lord Gu, please." The two guards moved to the side and made way for him to go up.
"Da da."
Gu Zheng came to the door and knocked lightly.
"Come in." A dignified voice sounded. Gu Zheng heard it. It was Lord Hao's voice.
Gu Zheng pushed the door and entered. He saw Lord Hao sitting on the blood ice bed with his upper body naked. Ding Xiao was still unconscious and lying at the side.
You Xing and Ouyang Ping were standing on both sides, guarding them at all times.
Gu Zheng understood. Lord Hao had overexerted himself and was mentally and physically exhausted. However, there were not many injuries on his body. After a few days of recuperation, he finally woke up.
Ding Xiao, on the other hand, was severely injured, so he was still unconscious.
"Are you alright, Lord Hao? I brought some precious healing panacea for you from outside." Gu Zheng took out the jade bottle that he had prepared. This was given to him by Pan Xuan. Now, there was only this much left.
"I'm fine. It's all thanks to you this time. You did well this time. I will report it to the higher-ups. A talent like you should be put in an important position. To be honest, you saved my life this time. I haven't thanked you yet." Lord Hao said with a smile.
Although the mission was messed up, it was not entirely his fault. No one would have thought that such a thing would happen.
No matter what, his life was saved. A few days ago, someone had already come and told him everything that had happened, including what happened in the other halls below.
According to his guess, Deng Wenxuan was already dead. Previously, he was possessed by a ghost cultivator. Now that the ghost cultivator's soul was destroyed, everyone came out.
