Gu Zheng glanced around. Because he was fighting with Commander Wang, the others were far away and did not notice the abnormality in his chest.
There was only a crab in front of him with its head in the ground. Unfortunately, half of its body was still outside, trembling as if it was afraid that others could not see it.
Gu Zheng walked over and pulled it out. At this moment, Pan Xuan's body was curled up like a blood tortoise.
"I didn't hear anything, I didn't see anything, I don't want to die." As soon as the crab was pulled out, it shouted without looking, afraid that it would be killed by the other party if it spoke a little later.
He saw with his own eyes how Commander Wang died in the hands of the other party. He was definitely at the level of five trash in front of the other party. The arrogance from before was all gone. He did not expect that there would be such a terrifying existence here.
Then why were they running? As soon as he appeared, they should be the ones running. A voice saved him.
"Young Master Shi, are you okay? There are clothes here, why don't you change into them first?" A familiar voice sounded behind him. Gu Zheng did not need to look to know that it was Yi Le's voice. At this moment, he could feel that she was a little nervous.
At this moment, Gu Zheng was in a very sorry state. His hair was messy, his upper body was naked, and his lower body was in tatters.
"Okay, I got it." Gu Zheng's gentle tone and Yi Le's heart relaxed a little. At least it sounded good.
At this moment, she also knew that Shi Lei had returned to normal, which indirectly saved everyone's lives.
She saw a white light flash on Gu Zheng's body, and the clothes she gave him appeared on his body. It was really enviable.
At this moment, Gu Zheng's body was spotless and clean. He was a completely different person from his previous sloppy appearance.
Gu Zheng first put away the things from before, and the jade box directly returned to his chest, turning into a shadow and sticking to it.
"Follow me, don't play any tricks. You have to watch your mouth." Seeing that he was tactful, Gu Zheng casually placed a restriction on his body. He could find him at any time. A fifth rank crab spirit could not do anything.
As long as he wanted to say a word to others, he would explode and die.
"Thank you, sir. I don't know anything." Little Crab was overjoyed. Although he knew that he was under a restriction and that his life and death were not under his control, it was still much better than dying on the spot.
Don't be fooled by his gentleness. Commander Wang's corpse was nowhere to be found. Such a savage image was deeply imprinted in his heart. He didn't dare to resist.
"Thank you, for saving our lives," Yi Le spoke up again from behind.
"You're welcome. Speaking of which, I still have to thank you for taking care of me for the past year." Gu Zheng smiled warmly. He still had all the memories of the past, including the time when her family asked about his well-being. He could feel that they needed something from him.
"But my name is not Shi Lei. You can just call me Gu Zheng." Gu Zheng smiled. Although a name was just a code name, he had long been used to his original name and was already used to it.
"Alright, Young Master Gu." Yiyi Le would not directly call the other party's name.
At this moment, one of his clan elders appeared from behind. He was just an ordinary stage-two warrior. He looked at Gu Zheng fearfully before asking Yi Le, "Yi Le.
"Patriarch Yi, everyone has been settled. This time, a total of dozens of people were injured. Fortunately, their injuries were not too serious. There were more than a dozen people who died on the spot."
Yi Le had ordered them to gather everyone. Then, the clan elder revealed a difficult expression. "However, the surrounding area is still inaccessible."
Yi Le understood what he meant. He turned and said respectfully, "Young Master Gu, can you open this passage? After all, they are a little frightened and need to leave here."
"That's easy." Gu Zheng waved his hand gently. The light barrier trembled and finally turned into a bowl-shaped jade item in front of Yi Le.
"Young Master Gu, this is?" He looked at the small bowl floating in front of him in surprise. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked one more question.
"Take it as a greeting gift for taking care of me. I'll give it to you." This thing was useless to Gu Zheng.
Yi Le was a rank 5 warrior and could barely control such a low-level treasure. This was because this thing was a test product that was casually refined. Other than forming a layer of protection, it had no other use.
It was easy for ordinary immortals to break, but it could still block it at a critical moment.
"Thank you, Young Master Gu. I wonder where you are going next." Yi Le quickly kept it. To her, the treasure inside had an irresistible charm.
Her clan only had one storage space, but it was not in her hands.
Those things were the key to their rise again.
"I still don't know. I don't even know where this place is." Gu Zheng shook his head. He really did not know where he was. He only knew that before he fainted, his last thought was to return to the place where he was first sent to the Asura Mystic Realm.
Due to his strength being damaged, he could not feel the long spear he had left for Zhao Man. It had his mark on it, so only Zhao Man could use it. Others could only pick up a very hard spear.
"Young Master Gu, why don't you come with us to Haiyue Nation? It's near the edge of the East Sea and is the strongest country nearby. We happen to have a stronghold. When the time comes, we will repay you for saving our lives."
Yi Le was really excited this time. If they traveled together, they would have a better chance. If this incident did not happen, she would definitely plead with him directly.
However, he had saved all of them, so it could be said that it was completely offset. They even owed him a favor. Moreover, he had given him a treasure. Other than a dagger and a rope given to him by his master, he had nothing else.
It was because of these two things that he could look down on the heroes. Otherwise, he would at most be a little stronger than ordinary people.
"Okay, I have nowhere to go anyway." Gu Zheng remembered that Elder Xiong had left him a message saying that he had to find the five elements materials to completely unlock his seal.
He could not count on the demon grass. If it was not for the fact that it had to absorb his immortal power, it would not have helped him to break the seal. It was also thanks to the demon grass. Otherwise, when he woke up with the strength of a Stage Three, it would be a big problem for him to even protect himself. Unless he put down his face and asked for help from his old friends.
It was too embarrassing. Gu Zheng would rather look for it slowly first.
Even his Stage Three cultivation before was because Elder Qin took out a wood element material to help him unlock the seal. Now, he still needed four elements to completely unlock the seal and restore his strength.
However, thanks to the demon grass, if there were some flaws in the seal, he could restore his strength to the early stage of Jin Xian Realm if another seal was unlocked.
He did not expect that Ouyang Ping would still make things difficult for him after his death. He did not regret killing him at all, even if he knew that he would be sealed.
"That's great. I'll prepare the best carriage for you right away. I'll explain the situation around here to you so that you can understand the location of this place." He bowed hurriedly and went to make the arrangements.
"You stay outside and drive the carriage. If there are any situations, report to me immediately." Gu Zheng looked at Little Crab and said.
"Yes, yes, Sir. I understand." Little Crab replied carefully.
Only then did Gu Zheng walk over. This time, everyone's gazes changed as they looked at him. This was especially true for those who had been discussing spiritedly behind his back. They were filled with fear, afraid that Gu Zheng would cause trouble for them.
Who knew that Gu Zheng did not have the mood to find trouble with them.
The best carriage inside had been vacated and was now parked alone.
"Please, Young Master Gu." Yi Le led the horse over, looking like he wanted to drive the carriage for him.
Gu Zheng did not say anything and went in. It was clean and tidy. It was not Yi Le's carriage, but a carriage used to transport goods.
However, it was not bad to have it cleaned up in such a short time. Gu Zheng was not picky and sat on it.
"You can go down. I'll drive the carriage for Sir." Little Crab went up and squeezed out Yi Le's seat. With Sir's orders, he was not afraid of him.
When Yi Le saw that Gu Zheng didn't say anything, he knew that this was his tacit approval. He didn't say anything else and continued to lead the way on his horse.
Then, the group began to move forward slowly. Everyone could not wait to leave this place. Fortunately, there were not many deaths, and everyone was in a stable mood.
With an immortal accompanying them, everyone felt much safer.
At least, they did not have to worry about any danger. Most of them were relieved, and were not as nervous as they were a few days ago.
They were afraid that in the blink of an eye, the State Teacher would suddenly appear and kill them all.
After traveling for a distance, Gu Zheng set up a barrier in the carriage to ensure that no one would know what happened here.
Gu Zheng first took out the Twin Jade Pearls. He did not have time to open it. He was looking forward to it, hoping that Elder Xiong would give him a surprise.
The first thing that entered his eyes was a green leaf. Unfortunately, half of it was white. The green gas in the air was being absorbed by something.
Gu Zheng hurriedly took it out to take a look. A spirit white bead was pressing down on it, and it was the culprit that was extracting the green leaf's energy. Gu Zheng hurriedly took out the green liquid, but the green line grew longer. It bit down on the green liquid and kept extracting it.
Gu Zheng could feel Elder Qin's aura from the green liquid. It should be something good that Elder Qin left for him. Especially after sensing the dense green energy, it was very useful to him.
Gu Zheng's hand lit up. He quickly wrapped the leaf with immortal Qi. The pearl could not feel anything. Only then did it completely calm down. The layer of jade light on the outside disappeared. It was as if it had become an ordinary pearl.
However, Gu Zheng saw that there were still some white spots on it. It looked like it was still far from maturity. It was just a white pearl. Although it could shorten the maturity time, it was not useful to Gu Zheng at all.
It was not as useful as the leaf that Elder Qin gave him. Even if it only had half of its effect, to him, it was not inferior to a treasure. He was absolutely satisfied.
Then, Gu Zheng put the Twin Jade Pearls aside. He remembered that he had great use for them.
Following this, Gu Zheng took out the two spoils of war. The first thing he looked at was the small blue ball. Commander Wang had cared a lot about this, so it should be a treasure.
Gu Zheng's spiritual will probed it. He did not know what it was used for. He could only feel that it was filled with water vapor. It was like a huge ocean.
However, it was gone. Gu Zheng turned it over and over. He did not find any use. Also, there was no reaction when he injected immortal Qi.
He tried to guide it out, but there was no reaction at all. However, to be able to survive the terrifying counterattack of the jade box, it was a good treasure.
Gu Zheng ignored it and kept it. He took out the other token and looked at it.
This token looked squarish. It was made of an unknown white jade. When he looked at it carefully, there was a faint light on it. It was slightly big. Other than some strange patterns, there was nothing else.
It felt warm to the touch. It was like a warm jade. Moreover, he felt a little comfortable.
Gu Zheng's spiritual will could not see through this thing. Each was stranger than the last. Gu Zheng felt that this was something like a transmission talisman. Perhaps it was also an identification.
Just like the black rectangular token. He had seen it before when Zhao Man was showing it off to Xue 'er. It should be an identification for that unknown organization.
No matter what, Gu Zheng kept them in the jade box. At least he did not have to carry them with him. It was much more convenient.
Of course, Gu Zheng had protected each of them. He did not want the pearl to destroy them.
The remaining half of the leaf made his heart ache. Gu Zheng could see the value of this thing. It could save his life. He would never mind having more of such things.
"Sir, that Yi Le is here to see you." Just as Gu Zheng was experimenting further, Little Crab's voice came from outside.
"Let her in." Gu Zheng casually removed the barrier and instructed. Unknowingly, half a day had passed.
"Yes." Little Crab replied, "Yi Le, go in. Sir has agreed to see you."
Soon, the curtains were pulled open. Yi Le walked in, accompanied by a fragrant wind.
At this time, Yi Le had obviously washed up again. Her previously damaged clothes had also been changed into a new dress.
"Take a seat. Tell me about the situation around here." The carriage was spacious enough. After she sat down, there was still room for one more person.
"Yes, the place we are currently in is called Haiyue Country. It is one of the most powerful countries in the vicinity. It is said that they have some relations with the East Sea …" Following Yi Le's slow explanation, Gu Zheng quickly understood the situation in the vicinity.
After waiting for Yi Le to finish speaking, Gu Zheng let her leave first.
She was now in the same region as Anhua Nation. However, one was in the east, while the other was in the west. Yi Le did not know where Anhua Nation was, nor had she heard of it.
However, she knew the mountain range beside her. All the human nations around here were on the mountain range. Gu Zheng knew that he had not strayed too far away.
Moreover, he also knew that many nations were experiencing rebellions at the same time. Most of them were successful. As far as he knew, other than their country and Haiyue Nation, which did not experience any rebellions, all the nations around here had changed owners.
They were all generals. Even if the highest-ranking general was the emperor's son and was about to take over the throne, there was still a rebellion. Everyone was panicking. The war had caused many people to lose their homes.
Even many demons, ghosts, and Little Goblin from deep in the mountains came out to cause trouble. It felt like the world was in chaos.
Gu Zheng knew that there was a rebellion in Anhua Nation as well. It seemed to be an organization. Who was controlling all this behind the scenes? It seemed like this pattern had not changed for tens of thousands of years.
However, Gu Zheng did not want to know. What he wanted to know now was where to find the materials to remove his seal. With his current strength, some of the Five Elements materials were not easy to find.
The place where they were born was very fierce. There must be spirit beasts guarding it. The best way was to find it outside, which was better than water.
After all, the value of that thing was not cheap and it was relatively rare. This gave Gu Zheng a headache. He was unfamiliar with this place and did not know where to start. He could only take one step at a time.
However, he was already at the edge of the East China Sea. No matter how cold it was here, there would always be some news. It was better than trying his luck blindly.
No matter what, he had to find a way to increase his strength to the Jin Xian level. This way, he would have a trump card to use at a critical moment.
Now, he only had two. One was the Twin Jade Pearls in front of his chest. Although he could throw it out at a critical moment and its power was not bad, unless he had absolute confidence that he could kill all the witnesses, he could only wait for death. The endless crowd would drown him while he was escaping.
What was the use of a magic treasure that could not be seen? It was not even as good as a fire stick. At least it was good for storing things. He was so poor that he could not even take out a single pill. No one would believe him if he said it.
The second was the red thread on his wrist. That was the Li Bracelet given to him by the flame woman. It actually contained the Cleansing Glass Fire. Unfortunately, he could not control it now. Next, he would have to use all his strength to refine it until he mastered it.
At a critical moment, the Cleansing Glass Fire would be used. Even if it was only a little, it would kill anyone who touched it.
However, this was not the last thing. The first thing was the seal in his body. He had only heard about it from Elder Xiong. He really wanted to give it a try.
One had to know that the seal was damaged. In addition, his strength had returned to the Heaven Immortal level. It was different from what Elder Xiong said. He wanted to try to break it. Even if the progress was slower, at least he did not have to worry about finding the materials.
Gu Zheng wanted to do it. Now they were heading towards the capital of Hai Yue. It would take about half a month. They would rest in the cities along the way.
Gu Zheng instructed Little Crab to not allow anyone to disturb him. Only then did he set up the defense. He calmed down and sat cross-legged. He began to try to break the seal.
He wanted to see what was so special about the seal that sacrificed the life of a Zenith Heaven Immortal.
