"Brother Sun, it seems that you said you have a lot of prestige here, but I think you are exaggerating. Why are you being interrogated when you go back?" The two stopped in the air, and one of them said jokingly.
"Ahem, maybe the other party didn't see me from so far away. I will ask when I come back."
These two people were Gu Zheng and Sun Cheng, who spent nearly ten days to reach the Misty Island.
As soon as Sun Cheng's words fell, the two guards of the Misty Island had already caught up. When they saw that the one they intercepted was Deacon Sun, they immediately said, "Deacon, the island is now under martial law. I didn't notice before, sorry."
"It's okay, but what's going on? I remember that half a month ago there was no such situation. Did something happen?" Sun Cheng said jokingly. Because the opening of the Misty Island was approaching, it was normal for the Misty Island to take some precautions. Also, there were usually guards patrolling outside the Misty Island.
But he didn't expect that he really guessed it. The guard's answer made his heart suddenly shocked.
"Yes, now the whole island is under martial law because of a kidnapping that happened before." The two people looked at each other, and finally the one on the left answered.
"Who is so bold? Is it that mysterious organization?" Sun Cheng was surprised. His actions these days had caused the other party to retaliate.
"Who dares to openly provoke the Misty Island? Who was kidnapped?" Sun Cheng asked in disbelief. That organization didn't want to live.
He had been here for so many years, so he knew the power hidden under the Misty Island.
"It seems to be a little girl called Xiangxiang. It is said that she is the sister of one of our masters. Half a month ago, a group of people attacked and took her away. Although we tried our best, it was too sudden. The other party also had a master to help them. Only half of them were left. The others, including the little girl, had successfully escaped from the Misty Island and disappeared."
As soon as the voice fell, he felt a chill around him, as if the air was frozen. He turned to look and found that the person who accompanied the deacon was emitting a terrifying aura, and was now looking at him coldly.
"Is what you said true?" A voice that seemed to crawl out of hell squeezed out from the gap between the man's teeth.
"Uh uh uh." The guard who was being stared at by Gu Zheng hurriedly nodded and stammered as he looked at Sun Cheng with pleading eyes.
After being stared at by the other party, he felt as if there was an invisible pair of hands tied around his neck. He couldn't even breathe, let alone answer the other party's question.
"Brother Gu, relax. Don't be agitated. We'll talk after we get to the bottom of this." Sun Cheng gently nudged Gu Zheng, indicating that he shouldn't scare the guard.
"What's going on? Tell me in detail." Seeing that Gu Zheng had slightly restrained himself, Sun Cheng hurriedly asked the guard.
Of course, he understood the severity of the situation. Gu Zheng's sister had actually been abducted by that mysterious organization. The fact that Gu Zheng was able to control himself and not fly into a rage was already a feat of great patience.
If he were to find out that his wife had been kidnapped, he would go crazy.
The guard felt that the atmosphere had loosened a little. He hurriedly spilled beans and explained everything in detail. Basically, everyone knew about this matter, so he didn't dare to hide anything.
"Alright, hurry up and patrol. I got it." Sun Cheng hurriedly sent the two of them away.
Because at this moment, Gu Zheng's fists were tightly clenched. Cracking sounds could be heard. Sun Cheng was really afraid that Gu Zheng wouldn't be able to control himself and attack. These two early Heavenly Immortal guards wouldn't be able to withstand a single punch from Gu Zheng.
Actually, this incident had already attracted a few waves of patrolling guards. However, they were all silently sent away by Sun Cheng.
Gu Zheng had already closed his eyes. At this moment, he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart. Because after so many days of interaction, he had already started to treat her as his own sister.
Only now did he understand why his heart would suddenly ache when he was on that island. It turned out that Xiang Xiang was already in danger.
Thinking about how Xiang Xiang was crying and calling for him, "Brother Gu, hurry and save me. I won't be disobedient anymore."
Gu Zheng felt that his heart was broken. He couldn't wait to kill the other party on the island.
However, Gu Zheng knew that he could fight alone. Even if he could fight ten people, the other party had a hundred people. He wouldn't be able to deal with so many people. If he really brainlessly went to save Xiang Xiang, it would be like sending a lamb into a tiger's mouth. Not only would Xiang Xiang not be saved, he would also die.
However, hearing that the Star Alliance was already looking for the other party's base with great fanfare, perhaps he should do something and pull a big ship to move with him.
After a long time, Gu Zheng forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart. He slowly exhaled the stuffiness in his chest.
"Are you okay? Don't worry. Since the other party took your sister away, they definitely have a request. Her life isn't in danger for the time being. What we need to do is to quickly find the other party's base and save her." Sun Cheng hurriedly said when he saw that Gu Zheng had calmed down.
However, he also knew that there was a hidden volcano waiting to erupt under this body. If it was accidentally ignited, then no one knew what terrible things would happen.
"I know. However, I already know where the other party's base is." Gu Zheng said coldly. The other party actually dared to provoke him. Even if the other party was a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, he still had to barge in.
Gu Zheng knew that the leader of the Star Alliance was also going. He wasn't afraid of the mysterious woman because if the other party really had the cultivation of the Zenith Heaven Realm, there was no need for her to be so sneaky. She could rule this area alone, and no one would dare to resist.
In other words, the other party was at most a figure at the level of Jin Xian. Perhaps she had some secret technique. Even a strand of divine sense was enough to transmit most of the power.
"That's great. Let's quickly go and see the Great Elder." Sun Cheng said in surprise. From the description of the guard just now, he knew that everyone was looking for the mysterious organization's base.
Sun Cheng led the way in front and brought Gu Zheng to the island at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, in a hall in the central courtyard, the Great Elder was furiously reprimanding the people below. Because of their mistakes, some important members of the other party had escaped.
That was a stronghold that they had scouted out, and there were some core members of the mysterious organization inside. They had set up a tight encirclement and attacked the other party before they knew that they were carrying out a full-scale operation.
In the end, because of some mistakes on their side, their whereabouts were actually detected in advance. As a result, the operation plan was forced to be brought forward, and the core member that he cared about the most had successfully escaped.
"Tell me, what's the use of catching those small fries? You really want to anger me to death." The Great Elder sat on the main seat angrily. He suddenly slammed the table, making a loud sound. The tea on the table shook and flew up, splashing a lot of tea on the table.
"I'm sorry, Great Elder." The leader of the group, who was at the late stage of the Heaven Immortal Realm, knelt down on one knee. He also knew that he had made a very serious mistake and kept apologizing.
"Forget it, you can leave first." The Great Elder knew that he usually wouldn't make such a low-level mistake. He was just implicated by his subordinates.
Seeing the other party's figure leave, the entire hall was empty. The Great Elder rubbed his swollen temples, leaned on it and began to carefully think about the future.
"Deng, deng, deng." Several people's footsteps came from outside, gradually getting closer. The Great Elder frowned. He had already made arrangements, without his orders, no one was allowed to enter. How could there be people who dared to ignore his orders?
The Great Elder opened his eyes to see who it was that just happened to bump into his breathing space.
Two familiar figures appeared in the air. One had a serious face, and the other had a frosty face.
When the Great Elder saw them, the anger in his heart immediately dissipated. He immediately walked down and said apologetically,
"Little Brother Gu, I'm really sorry. I also didn't expect such a thing to happen."
He saved his only son, but he didn't protect his sister well. He was really ashamed.
In fact, there was a late stage Heaven Immortal hiding around Xiang Xiang to protect her. It was mainly to prevent unnecessary disturbances. Who would have thought that the other party would be so daring?
However, it was also because of his timely appearance that the other party left so many people. Otherwise, no one would have noticed that Xiang Xiang went missing. Perhaps they would only know when Gu Zheng came back. However, at that time, no one would know where Xiang Xiang went.
"I already know what happened." Gu Zheng took a breath and said, "I don't blame you."
"But Brother Gu, don't worry. We are now looking for the other party's nest. We will definitely help you rescue Xiang Xiang safely." The Great Elder patted his chest and said.
"Great Elder, Brother Gu knows the enemy's nest." Sun Cheng said. Originally, Sun Cheng wanted to let Gu Zheng rest for a while before he went to inquire about more in-depth information. However, halfway through, Gu Zheng directly told him that he knew the organization's nest.
Overjoyed, Sun Cheng quickly pulled him here to find the Great Elder.
When the Great Elder heard the news, he was also overjoyed. Looking at Gu Zheng, he subconsciously asked, "Really?"
Gu Zheng slowly nodded. Back then, he had obtained some information from Fat Head. Although it was very little, he happened to know the approximate location of the enemy's nest.
Even though Fat Head had only been there once, he kept thinking about going there again every day. Even in death, he did not forget about it. It just so happened that Chen Feng managed to capture such a deep impression.
Back then, Chen Feng only wanted to know some information about this place. Additionally, Fat Head had bumped into him back then. Thus, Chen Feng would definitely not let him go.
Gu Zheng's lips moved slightly and he directly sent the approximate location of the enemy's nest to Sun Cheng and the Great Elder.
The Great Elder's face grew increasingly happy. After hearing it, he closed his eyes and quickly went through the information in his mind. Then, he slapped his thigh and said, "So, they are hiding here. No wonder no one discovered them after so long."
"However, this time, they will not be able to escape."
"Thank you, Brother Gu. Your information is simply timely." The Great Elder said gratefully, "I will take my leave first. I have to quickly arrange a new plan. Sun Cheng, accompany Brother Gu to the warehouse first. Take whatever you want."
As he spoke, he threw over a bronze token. With this token, one could take almost unlimited items from the warehouse. This was not something that was announced to the public. It was something that was truly collected by the Star Alliance.
Of course, the Great Elder believed in the location that Gu Zheng had mentioned. Since he already had accurate information, and there was not much time to begin with, it was time to take action. However, for the time being, he did not want to inform the outside world. Instead, he wanted to discuss with everyone and come up with a plan.
This was because the Great Elder was sure that there were still spies on his side that the enemy had not discovered. He wanted to launch a surprise attack and not give the enemy any chance to react.
Sun Cheng looked at the token in his hand and said to Gu Zheng, "Let's go. We will rest for a while and then bring you to find some useful items. Perhaps in a few days, there will be an extremely intense battle."
Gu Zheng nodded slowly and raised his head to look in a certain direction. It was as if his gaze could penetrate the endless void and see something in the distance.
One month later, Gu Zheng was meditating in his courtyard. In a round transparent glass beside him, a colorful small fish was swimming around. From time to time, a colorful light would flash on their bodies and rush toward the artifact outside. However, there was always a layer of transparent air surrounding the inner wall of the glass ball.
No matter what method the small fish used, they would sink deeply into the thick air and bounce back.
Although there was no liquid in the glass ball, a series of bubbles would emerge from the small fish's mouth from time to time. It was as if they were in water.
A very polite voice sounded outside the door. "Sir, the Great Elder wants you to go to the front hall."
Gu Zheng slowly opened his eyes and reached out. The glass ball that was originally the size of a washbasin started to shrink. Even the small fish inside shrank until it was the size of a walnut and fell into Gu Zheng's hand.
A brilliance flashed in Gu Zheng's hand, and he placed the glass ball into the Twin Jade Pearls.
After opening the restriction, Gu Zheng saw a person from the Star Alliance in blue waiting outside. Even though Gu Zheng had been dawdling for a long time, there was no trace of impatience on his face.
"Sir, the Great Elder wants me to ask you to go to the front hall." When he saw Gu Zheng come out, he spoke respectfully again.
"Yes, who else is there besides me?" Gu Zheng nodded and asked again.
"Uh, I'm not too sure either. I only know that many Deacons have already rushed there, including Deacon Sun and his wife." He thought for a while and replied.
"Alright, I got it. Sorry to trouble you." Gu Zheng thanked him.
"This is what I should do. I still have to inform the others. Sir, I'll take my leave first." The person from the Star Alliance was somewhat flattered. After saying this, he hurriedly left from the side.
Even from here, Gu Zheng could feel that there were countless auras gathered not far in front of him. The aura that soared into the sky was very eye-catching.
Very quickly, Gu Zheng arrived at the front hall. The front hall was very big, and even if there were hundreds of people inside, it wouldn't feel crowded.
When Gu Zheng stepped into the hall, he saw that there were already many people sitting on both sides of the hall. They were chatting with each other.
Gu Zheng nodded towards the Great Elder at the front. He wanted to find a place to sit down first.
"Big Brother Gu, come here." In this somewhat noisy environment, a soft voice entered his ears. Gu Zheng followed the voice and found that Mo Xing was looking at him.
When he saw that Gu Zheng had seen him, Mo Xing hurriedly waved his hand and gestured for Gu Zheng to sit down beside him. There was an empty seat on his left.
When Gu Zheng sat down, Mo Xing tilted his head to the side and said to Gu Zheng, "Big Brother Gu, I know what happened to you. I really didn't expect that something like this would happen."
At that time, he was still outside. He only heard about it when he returned. At that time, Gu Zheng was in seclusion, so Mo Xing didn't disturb him.
In terms of guilt, Sun Cheng was the most guilty. Otherwise, he would have dragged Gu Zheng out. Under Gu Zheng's protection, how could such a big thing happen? Before he went into seclusion, Sun Cheng had apologized to Gu Zheng countless times.
"This has nothing to do with you. I can only say that I was negligent." At this time, Gu Zheng had already calmed down. He also knew that he was careless. Although he had instructed Mo Xing to take care of her and even left her a Twin Jade Pearl, it was enough for him to sense her location even though it wasn't fully formed.
Now, in his perception, Gu Zheng roughly knew that Xiang Xiang's condition was relatively good. This also indirectly appeased Gu Zheng's irritable mood.
Gu Zheng felt that after he finished speaking, Mo Xing's expression was a bit relaxed. It seemed that he felt that other than this matter, he was also responsible. This made Gu Zheng feel that Mo Xing's character was really good.
Next, Gu Zheng listened to Mo Xing talk about his previous matters while waiting for the final arrangement of the Great Elder.
At this time, there were still people coming in. Everyone's aura was no lower than a Celestial Immortal. Moreover, almost all of them were wearing the same blue brocade robe. This should be the uniform of the Misty Island.
It seemed that the Misty Island had taught almost all of the core people. Gu Zheng carefully glanced around. There were almost a few hundred Celestial Immortals here.
After a while, the Great Elder saw the last person coming in. After nodding to him, he finally walked down from his seat.
Everyone saw the Great Elder walk down. Slowly, all the words gradually stopped. Everyone's gaze was focused on the Great Elder.
When everyone stopped talking, Zhan Zhanlai slowly opened his mouth, "Today, many people have already rushed back. So, taking advantage of this time, I have something to say."
Actually, during this period of time, they had been very busy. However, other than some of the higher-ups, most of them were still in the dark. They did not know what had happened at all. They only knew that they had been urgently informed to come back.
The Great Elder took the opportunity to tell everyone about the other party's information. This caused an uproar. They did not expect that they had unknowingly found the other party's lair.
This made everyone excited. They looked at the Great Elder with fiery eyes.
This way, he did not have to look for those small fries. Although there were many powerful people, there were dozens of people with the same cultivation level. No matter how strong the other party was, they would not be able to withstand it.
The Great Elder was actually very satisfied with everyone. Everyone was eager to fight. This battle would definitely succeed.
Then, the Great Elder began to arrange people one by one. Everyone's duties were different. Even if the army set out, there would still be enough people to guard the Misty Island.
Those who were called out walked out with a happy face. This was a meritorious service. The rewards would definitely be good. The remaining people looked at the Great Elder with longing, hoping that they would be the next one.
Soon, a small half of the people walked out. Gu Zheng keenly noticed that these people all had high cultivation. They seemed to have been assigned to different positions. However, there were also some people with good cultivation who stayed.
"Of course, this time we need a few vanguards. While the enemy does not know that we are attacking, they will sneak into the enemy's lair and scout ahead. The key is to assist the army." Half a day had passed by the time all the basic arrangements had been made. Only then did the Great Elder change the topic and throw out another important task.
