On the other side of the cave, Old Sun and the others were waiting inside. Although the cave was shaking, there was always a faint layer of light above their heads, protecting them.
Opposite him was the old woman. At this moment, she was holding a strong young man in her arms. His body was covered in bloody wounds. If it weren't for the others who helped to bring back her son, the three of them might have been left outside.
"Old Sun, do you think that Shi Lei can defeat the demon?" Taking advantage of the calm moment, someone asked curiously.
"Definitely. You don't know how strong he is." Old Sun was full of confidence.
Although everyone had asked several times, there was still a different person asking after a while to suppress the fear in their hearts.
Old Sun also understood this, so he patiently explained it to them. However, when he looked at his unconscious son, a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.
In the sky, the mountain that Gu Zheng controlled finally collapsed. After all, the other party had an endless supply of support. However, Gu Zheng also knew this and didn't feel disappointed.
Lan Xing snorted, "Show me what else you have."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two huge swords in front of him collided with a 'clang' sound.
At the intersection of the two, a black and white Qi shot out. However, this light beam was only as thick as a finger and didn't have a trace of Yin and Yang Qi. However, there was a lot of it.
At this moment, he felt that the other party seemed to be an ordinary human cultivator. He didn't have any good magic treasures or amazing spells. A bold idea appeared in his mind. He wanted to kill the other party.
Because once an extremely weak aura appeared under the rubble on the other side, his old friend was still down there. Of course, he wanted to save him.
As the other party kept attacking, Gu Zheng kept dodging in the sky. Although the attacks weren't strong, Gu Zheng thought of a better way. The other party seemed to be a bit difficult to deal with. Gu Zheng didn't want to be injured and waste time.
Especially after hearing that Xue Er was captured and Zhao Man was in danger, he didn't want anything to happen to his friends.
The other party only let the two swords shoot out light beams back and forth, while he injected a bit of black Qi into the ancient mirror in front of him.
As Gu Zheng slowed down, more and more light beams hit the outside of Gu Zheng's body. It was like a rapid storm, causing the entire shield to ripple.
'Pu pu' sounds were constantly heard.
Lan Xing suddenly threw the mirror in his hand. The mirror turned into a cloud of black mist in the sky and rushed towards Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng dodged left and right, but the other party was obviously faster. He was quickly surrounded by the cloud of black mist.
When all of the black fog had surrounded Gu Zheng, a purple-black circular shield suddenly appeared, trapping Gu Zheng within. The inside of the shield was filled with an extremely strange purple-colored fog.
Gu Zheng's fists landed on the barrier, but it didn't budge in the slightest. It seemed to be exceptionally sturdy.
"Ha, prepare to die." Lan Xing saw this and laughed. It turned out that the other party was just a weakling with a strong aura. He was a little too excited.
However, he didn't expect that Bei Chen, who had a stronger defense than him, would be beaten half to death by one punch. Why didn't he show much power in front of him? It was as if he was in the middle stage of Jin Xian, and Gu Zheng was in the early stage of Jin Xian. The two of them had flipped.
Lan Xing had thought about it before, but he thought that the other party was only slightly stronger physically. Moreover, his own magic treasure was stronger, so he was suppressed.
A dazzling green light started to appear in his hand. Endless power gathered in front of his chest. Traces of lightning started to condense. It seemed like this was one of his strongest killing moves.
"Who are you? Why haven't I heard of you before?" Gu Zheng was covered by the purple mist. He suddenly asked.
"Of course you haven't heard of me. I haven't walked around for many years. Back then, my name was well-known. I could even stop babies from crying." Lan Xing was excited when he saw that he was about to kill Gu Zheng. It seemed like his skills hadn't deteriorated much after not fighting for so many years.
"Oh, is that so?" Gu Zheng suddenly revealed a strange smile. He shook his body and the purple mist on his body disappeared. "Let me see what you are."
With that, Gu Zheng took out a book that looked like a book of poems. He gently flipped it open and raised his hand. A brush appeared in his hand.
"Lan Xing, a direct subordinate of the Demon Master Kun Peng in the Ancient Heavenly Court." Gu Zheng raised his head and looked at the other party in surprise. He hadn't expected the other party to be an ancient character. Moreover, his status didn't seem to be low. No wonder he was so powerful.
"That is?" Lan Xing looked at the thing in Gu Zheng's hand in surprise. A feeling of impending doom appeared in his heart. Although he hadn't seen it before, he had heard people talk about it. Could it be true?
Gu Zheng just glanced at him and didn't pay attention to him anymore. No matter what the other party's status was, he had to be judged by him. He raised the Magistrate Brush and hooked it.
When Lan Xing saw the light on the Magistrate Brush, he knew that his guess was right. He didn't expect that he would make such an important mistake because of his carelessness. He turned his body and a huge bird appeared in the sky.
It had two three-meter-long wings. Its body was covered in three colors: black and yellow. It had seven sharp claws and a sharp head. It was now crazily crying. Layers of huge sound waves rippled in the air. The two huge swords in front of him instantly merged and began to rotate slowly. A black and white vortex appeared in it.
On the other side, Gu Zheng's first stroke had already begun. The shield outside Gu Zheng cracked. The shield turned into an ancient mirror again and fell to the ground in pieces.
On the other side, Lan Xing knew that his treasure wouldn't be of much use in this situation. Moreover, he couldn't even defeat a celestial immortal when facing the Human Book.
However, his treasure mirror still gave him a chance of survival. A pocket-sized bird suddenly flew out from his body and shot straight into the vortex in front of him. At this time, before Gu Zheng could make the second stroke, the vortex formed by the two huge swords disappeared.
"Bang!"
Lan Xing's body, which had lost all vitality, fell heavily from the sky. He had already used a secret method similar to the Primordial Spirit to escape. However, the price was very heavy. This was also the reason why he didn't show any fear at first.
"As expected of a former member of the Demon Court." Gu Zheng thought to himself and put away all his things. Even if Gu Zheng knew that the other party was going to escape, he couldn't stop him.
The two huge swords seemed extraordinary. They could actually bring Lan Xing away from this place. Even the restrictions he had set up before couldn't stop them.
There was no aura at the bottom of the mountain. It was as if he was dead.
Gu Zheng didn't care. After scanning around, he found a few remaining Little Goblin. One of them was the guy who ordered him to do this. As for the tiger demon and the rabbit demon that he had only seen once, the two of them were gone.
After casually dealing with the heavily injured Little Goblin, Gu Zheng also found a few humans who couldn't escape in time. They hid in a hidden corner. They thought that they were very smart, but they didn't expect that the sound of the battle would also shake them to death.
After confirming that there was no threat outside, Gu Zheng walked to a corner.
The people who were hiding inside heard a trace of panic and sorrow. After that, there was no sound from outside. Only the sound of their heavy breathing could be heard.
"Did Shi Lei destroy the other party?" After a moment of silence, a junior from the same village as Old Sun finally couldn't hold it in and asked Old Sun.
"I guess he won. You didn't hear the monster's cry at the end. You were so scared." Old Sun smiled bitterly in his heart. How would he know? However, he still said so.
After hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with excitement. They all began to discuss in low voices. There was even one person who quietly came in front of Old Sun. He wanted to be Gu Zheng's disciple and asked Old Sun to pass a message. However, Old Sun rejected him.
He knew his own status. Even if he didn't save him, nothing would happen to him. Instead, he would have helped him a lot.
"Old man, look at Feng Er. What's wrong with him?" At this moment, his wife's anxious voice came from the side.
At this moment, Sun Feng's face was flushed. His body was extremely cold. However, half of his body was warm and the other half was cold. His wife had already placed him on the ground. One of her hands was full of blisters, while the other hand was frozen. However, she didn't seem to feel anything.
"Let me take a look." Before Old Sun could answer, a voice suddenly sounded from outside. Everyone looked over and saw a completely unfamiliar man walking in.
"Shi Lei, you killed the monster? Are you okay? "Old Sun looked up. It was Shi Lei, who he had saved before.
"It's okay. Everyone is safe now." Gu Zheng said as he walked in front of Sun Feng. With one look, they knew that it was just some Demonic Qi that had entered his body. Gu Zheng tapped twice on his chest. Sun Feng spat out a mouthful of black blood. The symptoms on his body quickly disappeared.
"That's great. Ouch!" The old woman heaved a sigh of relief. Her expression also relaxed. Only then did she realize that her hand was in unbearable pain. She couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Gu Zheng flicked his finger. Two rays of green light hit her hand and healed her. Everyone looked exhausted. Some of them even had bloody wounds. Those were the scars left by the Little Goblin's torture.
Since he had already started, he might as well go all out. A ray of green light exploded above his head. It turned into droplets of rain and entered everyone's body.
Everyone was surprised to find that their bodies were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even their spirits were restored to their peak state. It was as if they had slept for a few days and nights. It was especially comfortable.
"Thank you, Immortal Shi Lei." Everyone thanked him.
"Why is my Feng 'er still not awake? Is there any other problem?" Old Sun shouted anxiously.
"It's okay. He's just seriously injured. He'll be fine after a few days of sleep." Gu Zheng comforted her. Only then did she relax.
"Alright, let's go quickly. I'll send everyone back." Gu Zheng felt that Village Chief Xuan was anxious after being out for a few days. He interrupted their discussion.
A few young people came up and carefully carried Sun Feng. Gu Zheng had already prepared the tools outside to help them out.
Some of them were travelers, while others were city dwellers. Gu Zheng placed them by the lakeside. After receiving their thanks, Gu Zheng brought Elder Sun and the others back to the village.
In the village, Village Chief Xuan and a few people had been guarding the door. After a few days of tidying up, at least on the surface, it looked better than before. However, a few days had passed and Gu Zheng and the others still hadn't returned. This made them nervous.
When the group of fish people started to appear in the distance, Village Chief Xuan stood up immediately. Especially when he saw Old Sun and the others, he was so excited that he couldn't help but ask everyone to come out and welcome them.
Almost everyone in the village came out. The whole scene was very touching. None of the people in the village who were captured were lost. They all came back safe and sound.
"Oh right, where's Shi Lei? Why don't I see him?" After Village Chief Xuan calmed down a little, he wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. Suddenly, he realized that he didn't see him.
"He was just here. Did he leave already?" Old Sun looked around and didn't see Gu Zheng's figure. He said suspiciously.
"I'm afraid he has already left. Since you all came back safe and sound, there's no point for him to stay here. After all, he has his own things to do." Village Chief Xuan looked at the sky and mumbled to himself.
"Village Chief, Village Chief, Lord Shi Lei secretly gave this to me on the way here. He asked me to give it to you. I was so excited that I forgot about it." At this moment, a young man ran over from behind and said. At the same time, he handed over a small package.
Village Chief Xuan opened it. There was only a jade bottle inside. He shook it gently and a few crisp sounds came from it. At the same time, a clear fragrance came from the bottle.
"Thank you!" Village Chief Xuan said softly.
"What did you say, Village Chief?" The young man thought that Village Chief Xuan was talking to him.
"Nothing. Hurry up and reunite with your family." Village Chief Xuan saw that everyone was starting to go home. Cheerful laughter echoed in the village.
After all, everyone was back and the monsters were all killed. Good days were ahead of them.
In the cave, it was very quiet. On a small hill, suddenly, a rock rolled down from the hill. It was especially ear-piercing in this empty place.
Until the rock fell to the ground, nothing happened.
After a while, the hill started to shake. Countless rocks started to fall from above.
With a soft bang, a figure rushed out from inside. Looking at the huge corpse in the distance, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes.
Although he had managed to escape by faking his death, he had heard everything that had happened outside. From the humans that he had rescued, he had learned that he was the one who had captured some humans. Coincidentally, one of the immortals had received a favor from one of them. When he passed by, he happened to encounter this incident.
In any case, his own people had captured that person. In the end, he attracted that person and even snuck into his cave when he was unprepared. He was seriously injured in one hit.
Who would have thought that a Jin Xian Intermediate Stage cultivator would do such a thing. He was not at a loss for this injury.
If he knew that he would attract such a person, he would not have entertained him. As expected, nothing good happened the moment he came. In the end, he even lost his life.
At this time, there was still a small part of his body that had not healed completely. One of his arms looked like it was going to fall off. It was tightly attached to a layer of flesh. If not, it would have fallen off.
Bei Chen did not have the intention to clean up his old friend's corpse. While the other party left, he had to escape quickly. As for the revival of Goblin, or gathering to find a safe place, he did not want to be involved.
After all, this was not the time of the Goblin. The glorious past was the past. He had to keep his tail between his legs and continue to wait for the right time.
Otherwise, he would return to the mountains to cultivate. Although there were endless opportunities, there were also many dangers.
After throwing a few pills into his mouth, Bei Chen flew in the direction of the underground river without looking back. There was nothing here that he was reluctant to leave, even if it was a place that he had lived in for tens of thousands of years.
When he fell into the river silently, a layer of golden light suddenly appeared on the surface of the water. Bei Chen stopped suddenly and almost touched it.
"Where are you going?" A faint voice came from behind. But it made Bei Chen's heart turn cold.
That was because that fiend had not left. He had been guarding him here.
Actually, it was just a surveillance spell that Gu Zheng had left behind. After discovering that something was wrong, he left the celebrating crowd and quickly came here.
"I'm just going to think. I'm just going to relax." Bale turned around with difficulty. Even Lan Xing had fallen in the hands of the other party. He was not even comparable to Lan Xing. Moreover, he was in a severely injured state now. He was completely no match for the other party.
"I think you don't have to go. How about it? Are you interested in having a drink or two?" Gu Zheng stood there with interest. He really wanted to know what had happened, especially how Xue 'er and the others had gotten themselves into so much trouble.
"Of course not." Before Bei Chen could finish speaking, his body flashed with a blue light. A shell that was only the size of a head suddenly drilled down.
The golden light on the surface of the water was instantly broken, but Gu Zheng did not do anything. Instead, he landed on the ground with a lazy smile on his face. He was not worried that the other party would escape at all.
Soon, faint ripples appeared on the surface of the water again. Bei Chen, who had just escaped, rushed up again. His body flashed and he changed back to his previous appearance. He said to Gu Zheng with a dejected expression.
"Alright, tell me where it is."
Gu Zheng chuckled. He pointed at the damaged hall and flew over.
Bei Chen helplessly flew over. There was nothing he could do about it. There was only one passageway below, and a layer of golden light had sealed it. There was also a pen and a book behind it. The pen was constantly drawing golden light in the water, and what was displayed was his name.
He finally understood why Lan Xing had also died in the hands of the other party. Those humans must have known his name and revealed it to him.
As long as he could not leave the range of the other party in an instant, he would die in the next second.
The hall was now in a mess. Gu Zheng did not care. He casually pulled a chair over and sat on it. He stared straight at Bei Chen.
"Alright, what do you want to know? I can't tell you everything I know. I swear on my soul." Bei Chen also sat on a chair and said helplessly.
At this point, the other party had spared his life. Other than wanting to ask some questions, there was no other reason. It was because he was definitely interested in what they were talking about.
"Go on, tell me everything you know about this matter."
