When Gu Zheng passed through the water gate, he felt a chill run through his body. His vision blurred and he appeared in midair.
Gu Zheng had some psychological barriers during the last few teleportations. He had long since put up a tight defense. For this kind of situation, it was already pretty good. At least he was awake.
Gu Zheng thought that he would appear in the depths of the sea, or that he would fall unconscious and lie down somewhere.
He didn't expect it to be so smooth this time. His body was falling quickly. However, Gu Zheng wasn't in a hurry. He looked around.
He should be above a small island. He could see a vast ocean at the edge of the island.
There were blue skies and white clouds above him. Below him was a lush forest. In the distance, there was a mountain peak. It was truly a beautiful place. Feeling the wind quickly falling, he finally came out of that strange place.
When he was halfway down, Gu Zheng circulated the energy in his body. Just as he was about to float, his expression changed. He realized where the problem was.
There was a strange energy in the air that was restricting the Immortal Qi in his body. He couldn't use Immortal Qi. Didn't that mean he had to fall quickly like this?
Looking at the tiny trees below, Gu Zheng couldn't help but gulp. At such a high height, it was possible that someone would die.
Gu Zheng was like a shooting star that couldn't turn back. He fell to the ground below.
Under the lush trees, a group of people was walking forward.
The ten or so people in the middle were all handcuffed. Their eyes were filled with despair. They were like puppets, walking step by step with the people in front of them.
In the group, there were three people standing guard outside. One of them was a fat, bald man with a smile on his face. He walked at the back alone. The other two people were a man and a woman.
The man was wearing black clothes. He was handsome and looked very young. His face gave off a gentle and refined feeling. The woman was wearing a red dress. As she walked, some of her delicate white skin was revealed. It was filled with boundless temptation.
The two of them were walking at the front, escorting the group behind them back to the base.
"Hurry up, you guys are so slow. Do you want to be whipped by this great aunt?" When the woman walking in front saw the group of people walking weakly behind her, she raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily.
At the same time, a fiery-red whip appeared in his hand. He kept swinging it in the air, creating sonic booms and sparks in the air.
When the crowd heard the woman's shout, their footsteps unconsciously quickened. They had all suffered at the hands of that fiery woman, so naturally, they were unwilling to suffer such an undeserved calamity, even if their bodies were already very tired.
Seeing the group of people obediently listening to her, the woman nodded her head in satisfaction. She stuck out her bright red tongue and licked her lips, full of infinite temptation. She said to the man beside her in a sweet voice,
"Brother Feng Yi, take a look at these people. It seems like there are only a few of them, and their quality is still lacking. I wonder if the Sect Leader will blame us."
Among them, there were two people with slightly white hair. They were very conspicuous.
The man turned to look at the woman and said, "It shouldn't be. Over the years, we seem to have exposed some traces. Now, some people are secretly tracking us. For a while, we have to keep a low profile and can't move."
"Hmm, what is that?" Just as the woman responded, she felt something falling from the sky at an extremely fast speed. The location seemed to be not far from her.
"Be careful." Feng Yi waved his hand to stop the group. Behind him, the fat man also went forward to look ahead. They had already felt that something was not right.
"We are not hidden here. Ordinary people can't find this place. Moreover, I remember that there is a restriction on the sky above us. How can someone come down from above?" The fat man said with rapt attention. At the same time, a string of bronze Buddhist beads appeared in his hand. He kept spinning it in his hand.
"I'm not sure. I will go with Lian Rong to take a look. You stay here and watch them." Feng Yi directly instructed.
After saying that, Feng Yi and the woman called Lian Rong went forward together. If their guess was correct, that place was the place where the other party landed.
Two figures were hiding nearby, quietly waiting for the arrival of the uninvited guests.
"Ahhhh!" Following a miserable scream that came from afar, a figure broke the silence of the surroundings. A figure broke through countless leaves from above and landed heavily on the ground, letting out a muffled sound.
A large crater abruptly appeared on the ground. After years of accumulation, a layer of leaves had accumulated on the ground.
After sensing the other party's aura, the two figures immediately walked out from their hiding spot.
"Brother Feng, it seems to be a Tier 3 brat. Why would he appear here? Otherwise …" Lian Rong immediately made a throat-slitting gesture. At the same time, the whip in her hand began to emit a faint red light.
"Don't worry. Although the other party's aura is very weak, he seems to be a body cultivator. His body is not inferior to a Tier 5 body cultivator. He will be more useful. It just so happens that we are also lacking people." Feng Yi shook his head, indicating for the other party to not move.
"However, we do not know his origin. If there is any problem, it would be best to kill him just to be on the safe side," Lian Rong said worriedly.
Feng Yi looked at the figure below. His body was tattered and there was even some blood at the corner of his mouth. It would appear that the impact from falling from the sky had injured his internal organs.
Looking at the other party's powerful body, Feng Yi could not help but ponder. Of course, he understood what Lian Rong meant. However, when he thought of the sect master's gloomy face, he could not help but shiver.
He was entrusted with an important task by the sect master. However, in these past few years, the tributes he gave were getting less and less each year. This had already caused dissatisfaction from the higher-ups. Especially now, it seemed that they had to prepare a large amount of tributes for the opening of the Brilliant Light Secret Realm. He could not afford to make any more mistakes. He still had to fight for that Gold Core and allow himself to rise to the Jin Xian stage.
Thinking of how he was chosen by the sect master all the way from the early Heaven Immortal stage to the present in less than ten thousand years, he was simply envied by everyone.
This time, he had to properly warn these guards that they could not casually injure people. He made a decision in his heart.
"It doesn't matter. Later on, we can just put an extra leg cuff on him. As long as he is below, he will not be able to do anything."
In the team that he had captured, even Heaven Immortals had to obediently serve him, let alone this small fry.
"Alright." Seeing that Feng Yi insisted, Lian Rong had no choice but to agree with his opinion. Looking at the person below who was still unconscious, the long whip in her hand suddenly extended and coiled around the person. She completely ignored the fine hair-like barbs on the whip and scraped the person's body until it was dripping with blood.
Lian Rong lightly shook her wrist. The long whip drew a beautiful arc and directly threw the person out. The person directly advanced towards the direction of the team through the gaps in the forest.
The two of them followed closely behind. When they encountered some obstacles that they were unable to pass, Lian Rong directly controlled the whip to control the direction of the person and evaded them.
With a light bang, the person directly landed in front of the team, causing everyone to jump in fright.
"You guys, lift him up for me." Lian Rong pointed at the few people in front of her without any trace of politeness. Even if one of them was her friend before this.
Those few people promptly walked out. The resentment in their eyes could not be concealed at all. However, they had already gotten used to it. The future of these people had already been decided.
Very quickly, one of them held the person's arms while another person held his back. Just like that, the person was added together.
At this moment, the person's face was filled with confusion. His eyes were still tightly closed. It seemed that he was still unconscious.
"Pa pa."
Without any trace of politeness, Lian Rong directly whipped him a few times. A few whip marks appeared on his chest. The clothes on his upper body were directly torn apart, exposing his upper body.
"I didn't expect this person to have such a strange imprint." After Lian Rong felt that there were no fluctuations, she determined that this person was not a good person and no longer paid attention to him.
Immediately after, she took out a small red imprint from her hand and imprinted it on the person's shoulder.
"Hiss hiss." A burst of white smoke rose. The smell of barbecued meat also appeared in the air. After the red imprint disappeared, a mysterious symbol was imprinted on the person's shoulder.
After this was done, the handcuffs and hinges on the fatty's hands were treated the same as a Heaven Immortal despite his low level of cultivation.
Feng Yi coldly looked at all of this. The person let out a few meaningless groans of pain. He did not have any intention of waking up.
The team once again slowly moved forward. Their target was the mountain peak in the distance.
A few kind-hearted people in the group took turns to support Gu Zheng as they moved forward together. They knew that if they really left him here, then that heartless woman would definitely directly kill him.
On the third day, the person slowly opened his eyes. Under the explanation of the kind-hearted people around him, he understood his situation. He did not say anything, as if he had accepted his fate. Without saying a word, he followed the team and continued to move forward.
Looking at the two figures in front of him, anger appeared in his eyes. Fortunately, the other party did not notice it.
This person was actually Gu Zheng from that day.
Gu Zheng's spiritual consciousness was much stronger than theirs. When they did not notice him, he had already noticed the other party.
A peak Heaven Immortal, a late Heaven Immortal and a mid Heaven Immortal. Although he did not know how strong they were, Gu Zheng was not afraid of them.
However, there was a layer of restriction outside this place. It should be the other party's territory.
His situation was at the lowest level. If there was a conflict, these three people were enough to make Gu Zheng suffer, not to mention that there was no other support from other places.
Gu Zheng had an idea. He directly restrained his aura and fell straight down from the sky, revealing a little of his muscles.
He just did not expect that woman to be so vicious. If the other party dared to make a move, of course he would not let himself be captured. Fortunately, the man's words made Gu Zheng calm down.
However, he still suffered physical pain. Gu Zheng kept telling himself to endure. When he was completely healed and found out the situation, he must make the other party look good.
Gu Zheng was very grateful to those kind-hearted people. He was so tired but they still helped him.
It should be known that now everyone's body was locked by the special shackles. Their physical strength was stronger than ordinary people. Two of them had golden shackles on their bodies. The cultivation of those two people had reached the Heaven Immortal realm. The others were basically in the fourth or fifth rank. They were all locked with silver shackles.
Especially Gu Zheng, he had one more than others. In order to show his value, he showed a little bit of strength, making them think that he was a body cultivator.
However, this restriction, for Gu Zheng, was also something that could be done with a thought.
After waking up, Gu Zheng put on an act and continued to follow them. He was also very confused as to why he had come out of this place.
It seemed that it had been run by people for many years. On the way, Gu Zheng also asked in a roundabout way. Unfortunately, these people did not know where they were. However, everyone knew the leader.
On the Floating Clouds Island, he was also a well-known figure. He often helped others. He was a righteous person and had a reputation. However, they did not expect him to use this identity to deceive many people.
In the past, there were fellow daoists who disappeared one after another. No one suspected him. One should know that he was usually very famous. Moreover, on the island, he could be considered a big force. Now that they had fallen to such a state, they were too trusting of him.
It was too late to say anything now. The people in the past were probably treated as missing.
Under all the details of the side branches, Gu Zheng also knew that he seemed to be far away from the Sea City. However, he did not know where exactly.
The other party did not seem to care about their conversation. As long as they did not slow down, they continued to move forward. Only the woman would whip the crowd from time to time for fun.
After another three days, they finally arrived at the bottom of the mountain.
They stopped at a very remote place and faced a stone wall. Feng Yi, who was the leader, struck out a series of hand seals. Accompanied by a rumbling sound, a very hidden cave was opened and everyone walked in.
In a flash, the cave behind them was directly sealed. Gu Zheng clearly felt that there was a formation around them. His Divine Sense could not be too far away from his body. He did not expect that there was a layer outside and another layer inside. It seemed that this protection was very tight.
Gu Zheng was curious about what kind of organization the other party was. He was afraid that he would attract the other party's attention, so he did not recover at all. Even his body automatically stopped absorbing Spiritual Qi.
The cave passage was wide enough. Along the way, it felt like the passage was going down. There was a red stone that emitted a red light every few meters, illuminating the passage and guiding everyone.
Entering this inexplicable place, some people could not help but breathe faster. Some people began to think about their future. For a moment, the whole group did not speak. Only the empty sound of footsteps could be heard.
Gu Zheng estimated that after walking for a few hours, the road in front of them became smooth. Soon, they arrived at a relatively large space.
There were three passages in this hall. It was dark and they could not see where they led to.
A middle-aged man in a blue robe was sitting in the middle. When he saw a large group of people coming in, he stood up to welcome them.
"Master Feng, everything has been arranged." He stepped aside and found a cup of water behind him. There was some purple liquid in it. It looked very strange.
"All of you, quickly drink it." Lian Rong's voice sounded again.
They had no choice but to step forward one by one and drink it.
Gu Zheng was no exception. He picked up the purple cup of water. It gave him a familiar feeling. He only wasted a little time and immediately felt a fierce gaze looking at him.
"Damn woman, you will be in trouble later." Gu Zheng felt the malicious gaze and drank the liquid in his mouth. Only then did the gaze move away from him.
When the liquid entered his body, it quickly evaporated. It turned into purple mist and hid in all parts of his body. It was like a huge spider web connected together.
Gu Zheng saw that everyone's expression was not good. It seemed that they all understood that this was not something good.
"Alright, since everyone drank this cup of water, you should have some guesses in your hearts." Feng Yi looked at everyone and said. Gu Zheng could not help but admit that when this person smiled, it gave people a warm feeling. People could not help but want to get close to him.
However, his words made everyone's hearts fall into an ice cellar.
"Do you see this bug in my hand?" Out of nowhere, Feng Yi took out a purple bug. Its entire body was a mysterious purple color, and it was currently resting in his palm.
"As long as the person who possesses this Queen Insect wills it, all of you will die a violent death. For the sake of your little life, it's best that you don't have any crooked ideas. Of course, if you don't cooperate, we have plenty of ways to make you listen."
Sinister words came out of his mouth. It was like a cold wind in winter blowing into everyone's hearts. Although he said it was so terrifying, no one knew what they were facing.
"I don't think anyone wants to try the Queen Insect's power. However, I have good news for everyone. If you perform well, we will welcome you to join us. Although we cannot let you out, we will at least let you live comfortably." The blue-robed middle-aged man said.
Using a mallet and giving a red date, he was simply too proficient in the art of pulling a long face.
He did not ask what everyone was thinking. After giving them a simple warning, he directly let the blue-robed middle-aged man lead them down.
Gu Zheng and his group walked through the passage on the right.
"When are we leaving here, Brother Feng?" Lian Rong hugged Feng Yi's arm and acted coquettishly. There was nothing here. She did not like this place at all. If it were not for the mission, she would not want to come here in her lifetime.
"It will probably take some time. At that time, we will send all these things to the Sect Leader. This time, the Sect Leader will also go to the Glorious Land. It seems that he has something very important to do." Feng Yi calmly pulled his arm out and said.
"Oh, the Sect Leader is going personally this time. It seems that it is indeed very important. Do you know why?" Lian Rong stepped forward again and approached Feng Yi's side. She intentionally or unintentionally twisted her slim waist to show her charm.
"The Sect Leader knows your hard work. Last time, he specially asked me to give you a black gold." Feng Yi took out a black glowing pill from his waist. How could he not know what she was thinking? He directly handed it over.
"Thank you for the Sect Leader's gift. Thank you Brother Feng for your guidance. I will definitely work hard again." Lian Rong's face blossomed like a flower as she said excitedly. Her eyes were already attracted by the black glowing ball.
Even Fat Head's eyes flashed with a trace of envy. This was the reason why they worked so hard. Different kinds of black gold could directly raise their cultivation by a small level. It was very heaven-defying.
"Don't worry. When the Sect Leader comes out this time, he will definitely not forget everyone. With your contribution, you will definitely have a share." Feng Yi comforted Fat Head and said.
Fat Head nodded and did not say anything. He followed Feng Yi and walked to the passage in the middle.
