At this moment, Young Master Fei was panting heavily as he ran in the direction of his home. He was afraid that the other party would follow him, so he followed the small path in a straight line towards his home.
As long as he returned home, he wouldn't be afraid even if the other party came looking for him. His father had spent a large sum of money to hire an elder in addition to one of his own elders.
After running for a long time, he finally came out of the small alley and quickly ran to the front of his home, brushing past the guards at the gate like a gust of wind.
"Eh? Why did Young Master Fei come back alone today?" One of them asked suspiciously.
"That's right. He seems to be in a sorry state. Moreover, his guards are missing. Did something happen?" Another guessed.
Young Master Fei wouldn't ask for the opinion of the servant behind him. He didn't have the talent for martial arts and wasn't willing to endure hardships. He was no different from an ordinary person.
He directly ran into the living room in the front yard, ignoring the fact that a new guest had arrived. He laid on the chair and panted. This mad dash that stimulated his potential almost caused him to die of exhaustion.
"What's wrong, Pei 'er? Why are you making such a fuss over nothing?" A middle-aged man sat on the main seat, his body emitting a dignified aura. When he saw his son running in in a hurry, he spoke with a dissatisfied expression.
He had prepared a weapon with great difficulty and was about to use it as a condition for the other party to become a guest elder in his home. Fortunately, both parties had reached an agreement. Otherwise, even if he was his only son, he would definitely teach him a lesson.
"Lord Father, I didn't do it on purpose. I just couldn't stop running for a moment." Young Master Fei panted a little before intermittently recounting what had happened.
He didn't hide anything in front of his father.
As for the other three people sitting beside him, they didn't think much of it. It wasn't very common in this place, but it wouldn't cause too much of a ripple either.
In this place, apart from not being able to make a move on people without any cultivation and not causing too much damage, no one would ask about it. The first two were tacitly accepted rules here.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a single person here. What was the point of talking about development? If anyone dared to violate the rules, everyone here would suppress them together.
"En, it's good that you're fine. Next time, be more careful. How would you dare to bring someone out without some ability?" After hearing that the other party was only at the fifth step of cultivation, he felt relieved and said to his son earnestly.
"Don't be foolishly used as a pawn by others. Just now, you said that the other party didn't seem vigilant at all. They must have something to rely on."
"Yes, Lord Father. I will definitely not act rashly next time." Young Master Fei nodded his head in acknowledgement. He had really lost his head and forgotten where he was.
"Your son is still young. It's alright for him to make some mistakes." A skinny old man said with a smile. He held a long spear in his hand and stroked it lovingly.
He had just entered Jia Rudu's house and obtained such a precious treasure. He was just about to put on a good show. Now, he wanted that person to come here and use his new weapon to deal with him. Everyone knew how powerful he was.
Furthermore, this weapon was obtained by Young Master Pei at an auction. It was extremely suitable for him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to the other party's conditions.
If he fawned on Young Master Fei now, it would definitely bring him more luck.
"We can't let him develop such a habit. Otherwise, how can he take over some businesses in the future?" The middle-aged man smiled and stroked his short beard.
"Father, I'll go first …" Young Master Fei was just about to return to his room when an announcement came from outside.
"Come in."
"Family Head Fei, there are two people outside knocking on the door." A servant in ordinary attire rushed in and knelt on the ground without raising his head. It was obvious that he was panicking.
"What's going on?" Family Head Fei stood up from his seat. Someone dared to provoke them? Who would be so bold?
"I don't know. I only know that it's an adult with a child. The guards at the door tried to stop them but were beaten down in a single move." The servant said while trembling. It was mainly because the person beside him was giving him too much pressure.
"Hmph! Just in time. Family Head Fei, let me display my weapon." The skinny man said directly with a glint in his eyes.
He was just talking about it. He didn't expect the other party to really come knocking on his door. They really wanted him to show his face.
"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Mo." Family Head Fei wasn't worried at all. Now that his three strongest fighters were here, how could he lose? Since the other party came knocking on his door, he could forget about leaving.
Under the lead of Family Head Fei, the four of them walked towards the front door together. Even Young Master Fei followed behind secretly. This was what they meant by "You don't want to take the path to heaven, but you insist on barging into hell."
Even if they killed the other party, no one would say anything. After all, the other party had already come to their house. If they didn't retaliate, wouldn't they be looked down upon?
The four of them had just reached the front yard when they saw a few servants flying in from outside. All of them were lying on the ground, crying out in pain.
A young man leisurely walked in from the outside with an indifferent expression. Behind him was a little girl who looked very smart and quick-witted, following behind him step by step.
"You actually dared to follow us. You're pretty bold. You're really not afraid of death." Family Head Fei shouted at Gu Zheng. He didn't need to look to know that Gu Zheng had followed his son here. With his cultivation, it was easy for him to not be discovered.
"I've always been bold. As for whether you can take my life, that will depend on your capabilities." Gu Zheng said indifferently. After sweeping his gaze around, his eyes were fixed on the skinny old man's hand. He was staring at the old man's weapon.
"Young man, you're too arrogant. You don't know how to be humble at all." Elder Mo's voice was neither masculine nor feminine. "You can't be so arrogant. Otherwise, someone will correct you."
"I don't need you to ask about my matters. Instead, where did the weapon in your hand come from? It looks a little familiar." Gu Zheng stared at Elder Mo and said with a fake smile.
"Hehe, if you want to know, you'll have to defeat me first." Elder Mo chuckled and took a step forward to stand in front of everyone. He brandished the spear in his hand, and traces of lightning flashed on the tip of the spear.
Elder Mo was very satisfied with this weapon. He cultivated a lightning-attributed cultivation technique, but before this, he didn't have a single weapon that he could use. When he fought with others, he suffered many hidden losses.
Fortunately, his cultivation technique was strong enough to allow him to survive until now. When Family Head Fei found him and took out this weapon, he knew that he had finally found the weapon of his dreams.
Therefore, he agreed to the other party's conditions without hesitation. Only then did he obtain this weapon. Although he had only practiced it for a few days, it was enough to increase his strength by more than 30%.
'I'll let the other party be my whetstone,' Elder Mo thought to himself.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything. In a flash, the team leader didn't react at all. He directly snatched the spear back and returned to his original position.
Elder Mo looked at the spear in Gu Zheng's hand and asked curiously, "Why do you have a spear like mine?"
He didn't even realize that his hand was empty. After he finished speaking, he looked at his hand, wanting to compare it. Only then did he realize that the weapon in his hand was gone.
"What kind of sorcery did you use to snatch my weapon?" Elder Mo exploded instantly. He didn't realize how terrifying it was for the other party to snatch his weapon without him noticing.
His body moved forward rapidly, and a terrifying aura appeared in his palm. He struck at Gu Zheng's arm, wanting to snatch the spear from Gu Zheng's hand again.
Gu Zheng only sent out a light palm strike. No matter how the other party tried to use dazzling movements to confuse him, his palm struck the other party's chest directly.
"Pu." Although Elder Mo could clearly see the other party's movements and his body was also dodging with all his might, he was still hit by the other party for no reason.
He spat out a mouthful of air, and his flying body directly smashed the flower corridor beside him into pieces. Fortunately, Gu Zheng didn't kill him. At least he was still alive.
Even so, he was still knocked unconscious by this huge force. He laid there motionless.
Family Head Fei wasn't blind. The other party had easily beaten Elder Mo to the point where he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. If it was before, it could be said that the other party's cultivation technique was special. How could he not understand that the other party wasn't on the same level as him?
The other two people weren't stupid either. When they saw this scene, they put away the weapons in their hands and stood obediently at the side, waiting for the other party to deal with them.
If they didn't guess wrongly, this person was definitely an immortal. No matter what, he had the power to annihilate their entire clan.
"Bastard, hurry up and kneel down." Family Head Fei directly pulled his son over. With a soft sound in the air, Young Master Fei's calf was actually broken by his father, and he was forcefully pressed to the ground.
Young Master Fei had seen everything clearly. How could he not know that he had kicked a steel plate? It was a steel plate that made him despair.
Ignoring the pain in his body, he crawled on the ground and kowtowed continuously, begging for mercy.
"Sir, my unfilial and unfilial son has angered the Exalted Immortal. Please do as you wish," Family Head Fei said sternly, afraid of angering the other party.
Looking at Young Master Fei, whose hair was disheveled and whose head was bleeding from the forceful kowtowing, Gu Zheng said indifferently, "How did you get this weapon?"
His face was expressionless, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking.
"Hurry up and tell the Exalted Immortal." Family Head Fei kicked his son forcefully. He was the one who had bought this weapon.
"Reporting to the Exalted Immortal, I bought this weapon from a foreign merchant the last time I went ashore. I really don't know anything else." Young Master Fei lifted his head and hurriedly recounted how he had obtained the weapon.
Gu Zheng looked into his eyes and knew that he wasn't lying. It seemed like he didn't know anything either.
Sighing regretfully in his heart, he pulled Xiang Xiang and left.
When Family Head Fei saw the other party leave without a word, the stone in his heart was finally lifted. Only then did he realize that his entire body was drenched in sweat.
"Men, lock this unfilial son up. He can't leave his room for a month." Family Head Fei shouted loudly.
Besides this matter, Xiang Xiang was no longer in the mood to go shopping. The two of them walked out of the city silently.
"Do you know the owner of this spear?" Xiang Xiang looked at Gu Zheng caressing the spear and could clearly feel his disappointment.
"En, this is a friend of mine. I was the one who gave this spear to him." Gu Zheng could still clearly remember Xue 'Er's pretty face. He didn't know what happened between them for their weapons to appear here.
However, after this short period of time, he could tell that Zhao Man was at least still alive through the spear's calculations. This made him feel a little relieved.
When he saw Young Master Fei, he felt a familiar aura. Back then, he didn't know why, but he subconsciously followed Young Master Fei to his house. Only then did he realize that it was this spear.
The two of them came to a deserted area outside the city. Gu Zheng formed a few green seals with his hands.
The green radiance outside the spear increased and the spear gave off a feeling that it had risen by another level. Previously, when he gave it to Zhao Man, Gu Zheng sealed some of its functions. After all, he didn't have a pure humanoid weapon.
Gu Zheng pulled out a fiery-red longbow. At this moment, it didn't have its previous gorgeous appearance. Other than its unique appearance, it didn't have any aura.
Gu Zheng instantly activated it. A flame rose from the bow and the spear in Gu Zheng's hand shrunk. Soon, it became a slightly bigger arrow.
Gu Zheng reached out and hooked the bowstring. He aimed it towards the sky and slowly pulled the bowstring. A huge gust of wind started to appear around him. As Gu Zheng injected immortal energy, the red radiance became brighter.
A red line suddenly appeared on Gu Zheng's right hand. It extended from his palm to the crystals on both sides of the bow. A small phoenix flame appeared on the bow.
"Xiang Xiang, use your concealment technique on this spear," Gu Zheng suddenly said.
"En." Xiang Xiang waved her hand and a few faint streams of mist surrounded the spear. This made the spear look slightly transparent.
The phoenix on the bow let out a loud cry and instantly rushed into the spear. A few more red lines appeared on the spear. At the same time, Gu Zheng released the bowstring in his hand.
"Buzz." A muffled sound came from the sky. Gu Zheng felt a strong pressure around him. The ground within ten meters around him suddenly collapsed.
The spear was like a bolt of lightning. It instantly disappeared in the sky and flew into the distance. However, Xiang Xiang had specially strengthened the concealment. Unless one saw it directly, no one would be able to catch it.
"Let's go." Gu Zheng and Xiang Er quickly left Floating Cloud Island. They still had to continue looking for the remaining materials.
In a dark dungeon, surrounded by a damp environment, the dark space was constantly tormenting people's nerves. Coupled with the sound of dripping water and the occasional sound of an unknown creature running around, no one wanted to take a look at this place.
There were only a few torches burning in the surroundings. They made crackling sounds. It wasn't as if the place had fallen into eternal darkness, but it still made a sound in this quiet space.
There was a figure in the middle of the dungeon. His four limbs were tied up in chains and hung in the air. His clothes didn't cover his body. Only the important parts were covered. The rest of his body had been shredded. His body was covered in all kinds of bloody scars.
Some scars had already formed, some were still red, and some were even slowly oozing blood.
With a creaking sound, a huge iron door was pushed open from the outside. Three people of different shapes and sizes walked in from the outside.
If one looked carefully, they might have some special parts on their bodies. However, they were covered up by some things, so it couldn't be seen. Looking at the unconscious figure, the person in the middle wore a white robe. He looked at the other side for a while before speaking.
"Wake him up."
It seemed that he was the leader of the three. As soon as he spoke, a tail as fast as lightning came out from behind a young man on the right. It was like a whip lashing at the figure.
"Pow!"
A bloody scar appeared on the left side of the figure's chest. However, the figure didn't seem to feel anything. He only unconsciously let out a painful groan. He was still unconscious.
When the person next to him saw that there was no reaction, he was a little embarrassed. His tail wagged back and forth. Just as he was about to take other actions, the white-robed person in the middle shook his head. "I'll wake him up. If you do this, he won't be able to wake up even if he dies."
A blue light flashed in his hand. A blue ball of water appeared in his hand. He poured it on the figure's head.
The figure suddenly shivered and slowly woke up. It took him a long time to see the people in front of him.
"Zhao Man, our patience has run out. We don't have time for you. Tell me, what is that witch's background? How can I contact her?"
The white-robed man's face was pale. As he spoke, his hands shot out ten sharp claws that shone with cold light. Even the air became much colder. He gently took out his tongue and licked it back and forth. Together with his somewhat coquettish appearance, it made people's hearts tremble.
"Pah!" A mouthful of blood mixed with saliva shot towards the man's head. "You demons, don't be so arrogant. Someone will come to deal with you."
The man's head twisted slightly, and he dodged the other party's sneak attack. He directly left a small hole in the wall.
The man smiled lightly, not minding the other party's actions. In any case, today was the day of their death.
Ever since a couple of years ago, a pair had appeared on this continent, a man and a woman. They had specifically gone against them. They had already killed dozens of their people and ruined many of their plans.
Now, at least four countries had escaped their control. Many of their subordinates had also begun to suspect them. Fortunately, the agent had used forceful methods to stabilize things. Only then had they barely managed to get things on the right track.
No matter how well they hid, even sending people to stop them, that woman was always able to discover their tracks. Then before they could surround her, she would escape.
In the end, they had mobilized several fifth stage experts to capture that human. However, that woman had still managed to escape. Only then did they realize that she was also a demon.
It was a pity that since then, she had never appeared again. Instead, they had been ambushed many times by her, causing everyone to panic and their plans to be delayed again and again.
It was a pity that the Elders were still fighting against the Forbidden Production. They could not come out yet. Moreover, they had forbidden some of the more powerful forces from appearing, afraid that they would attract the attention of others.
