After the time it would take for an incense stick to burn, a silhouette rushed over from afar. The scene was the same as before. Then, he stamped his foot and flew towards Feng City.
Two hours later, the sky was a little hazy. Under a big tree not far from here, a few figures suddenly appeared. All of them had a look of fear on their faces. They did not expect that an immortal would fly here.
Could it be their master? Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here so quickly. They would have died if they hadn't been informed.
"He's gone, right?" Sixth Sister patted her chest and said in fear.
"They should be gone. I didn't expect that those two had such a powerful backer. How come I didn't know that there were immortals in Feng City? Don't they usually stay away from worldly affairs?" the fifth sister said with lingering fear.
"I don't know, but fortunately, we weren't discovered by the other party. Otherwise, we would have been miserable." The third brother couldn't help but tremble when he thought of the other party's angry momentum. If they had been discovered by the other party, they wouldn't have been able to beg for mercy. They would have been crushed to ashes by the other party.
"Yes, I didn't expect that the little girl didn't lie. Fortunately, we have the invisibility charm given to us by the master. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to escape the other party's detection." The eldest brother held a dim charm in his hand.
If it had energy, they wouldn't have been able to hide.
The others couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly. They remembered that when the master gave them this thing, they didn't want it. But now, they had to use it.
"Well, everyone, cheer up. We still have to complete the task. When the time comes, we will leave here together. We brothers and sisters will live and die together. We won't give up on anyone." The fourth sister said.
"That's right. Well, let's hurry up and leave here. It's almost dawn. We don't want to be discovered by the other party. If there's anything, we can talk about it later." The eldest brother waved his hand and interrupted their conversation.
Everyone listened and made sure that they didn't leave anything behind. They were ready to take the two people back.
"Where do you want to go? Do you want me to give you a ride? "
They hadn't started to move when suddenly, a cold voice sounded above their heads.
"No, we can go by ourselves." Sixth Sister didn't realize anything and replied casually behind Yu Tian's back. However, as soon as she finished answering, she felt that something was wrong.
This voice seemed to be bone-chilling, and people couldn't help but look up. Not only her, but almost everyone had taken a step forward and looked up.
They saw a familiar figure hovering in mid-air, looking at them coldly. The frost in his eyes was enough to freeze them.
It was the person they had just left.
"Run!"
Almost at the same time the six people below saw him, they instantly cast defensive spells to increase their speed, and then immediately ran away.
They knew in their hearts that if the master of the hostages came, they would have no hope of fighting against him.
However, the silhouettes above did not seem to care at all. They remained where they were, as if they did not mind that they were running away. Each of them put enough distance between them, and as if they had discussed it beforehand, they suddenly stopped.
It wasn't that they didn't want to run anymore, but they didn't know when a layer of sparkling light curtain had appeared around them, directly enveloping them inside.
At this moment, everyone's faces were ashen. What made them even more desperate was that the light curtain outside was slowly closing in on them. How much time did it take for them to slowly force them back under the tree again?
Gu Zheng looked at the people below and snorted coldly. A few rays of light appeared beside Gu Zheng out of thin air and suddenly shot into the bodies of the people. Even if they wanted to dodge, they couldn't.
As soon as the light entered their bodies, they instantly fell unconscious. Then, Gu Zheng took these people, along with the unconscious Yu Zhen and Yu Tian, and left this place together.
Not long after Gu Zheng left, two figures suddenly appeared at the place where they were fighting before. Both of them were wearing red coats, as if blood was constantly flowing. It was very uncomfortable.
One of them was wearing a silver ghost face sniper rifle, looking very ferocious. The other one was wearing a bronze mask that was exactly the same as his.
The two of them quietly stood there, looking at the place where Gu Zheng was before. After waiting for a while, the man with the bronze mask opened his mouth and spoke.
"They failed. They won't leak any information about us. They didn't know much in the first place, and I have already poisoned their bodies. Originally, after this mission, we were going to get rid of them, but their consciousness of resistance was too strong."
The man with the bronze mask immediately said to make up for his mistake. By the time the other party realized that something was wrong, he believed that he wouldn't be able to say anything. Even if the other party was Jin Xian, he believed that he wouldn't be able to see through his secret move.
This was an ancient technique that was taught by the elders. How could the people of this era know the way to break it?
"Hmph, useless trash. You're not even as good as those people before, but you couldn't help it and sacrificed them. Now, there's no one to use. Let's see what you're going to do." The silver voice was cold, and it didn't sound like a human's voice.
"Master, I suspect that it's the immortal that appeared out of nowhere. I already went to inform you as soon as possible, but I was still a step too late." The man with the bronze mask said in a deep voice.
He didn't dare to say that it was that person who told him to do so, because it was nearing the end and he wanted him to get rid of everyone.
"You can't even stop a few immortals? And when did this immortal come in? Why don't I know? "The man with the silver mask turned his head, and his silver eyes looked unusually frightening.
"Master, that person isn't at the immortal level. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to trouble you. If I'm not wrong, that person is definitely above the Jin Xian Stage. He's not someone I can deal with."
The man with the bronze mask immediately knelt on one knee and said.
"Jin Xian Stage? Could it be him? " The information that the Great Elder brought flashed across the silver mask's mind. Now, their people were closely monitoring everywhere, and they were secretly killing people who were unfavorable to them. Of course, all of this was done by them manipulating the humans.
Other than him, no one else had jumped out to oppose them. Even one of the Protectors had been killed by the other party. They had asked him to be more careful. After such a long time, they thought that the other party wouldn't dare to come here.
One had to know that the human organization that was guarding this place now probably didn't care about the changes in the world at all.
Speaking of indifference, those humans who wanted to become immortals were even crueler than them.
"Get up. If that person is really him, you'll just be throwing your life away. Let's go back now. Don't interfere with the plan to stop that immortal. Let's give him an appetizer first. I'll leave this place to you. I'm going back to the mountain range to prepare for the handover." The man with the silver mask said with a cold smile.
"Yes, master!"
The two silhouettes quickly left the place and disappeared without a trace.
They didn't seem to be worried about the mysterious Jin Xian at all, because they had enough bait to lure him out.
As long as he wasn't wrong, he would definitely fall for it.
When the two masked men left, Gu Zheng quietly returned to his courtyard.
At this time, the courtyard was much brighter, and some of the servants who had woken up early had already started cleaning.
The moment he returned, two black shadows dashed out of the room at extreme speed. Two weapons stabbed towards Gu Zheng's vital points.
"Stop fooling around, it's me."
Gu Zheng grabbed their weapons. He didn't believe that they didn't know that he was back.
"I thought it was another thief," Ah Biu said jokingly. "Master, didn't you say that one who breaks into someone's house in the middle of the night is a thief? I followed your instructions strictly."
"You're smart." Gu Zheng let go of the weapons in his hand, and they put their weapons away.
"Master, what's behind you? Why are there so many dead people? "As Gu Zheng waved his hand, a pile of things suddenly appeared on the originally empty ground.
Xiao Lan saw a pile of corpses on the ground, and her little face suddenly changed. She took a few steps back and immediately exclaimed.
"What's the fuss about? Can't you see that they're all alive? Observe them carefully. I just made them invisible." Gu Zheng said impatiently, and at the same time, he gestured for Shuang'Er to come over.
"Take a look at these two." Gu Zheng pointed at Yu Zhen and Yu Tian, and told her that they were his friends. Then, he sent Ah Biu and Xiao Lan into the room.
"No problem, they're just knocked out. One of them is seriously injured, but he'll be fine in a while." Shuang'Er glanced at them briefly, and then said with certainty. Then, she put them aside and began to treat them.
At this time, the other six people on the ground were still unconscious. They were dressed in standard night clothes. It was pitch black, and even their faces were covered with black scarves. Only their eyes were exposed, making it impossible to distinguish their identities.
After Gu Zheng set up a simple defense around them, he reached out and grabbed, and all the light on their bodies was retracted.
"Ugh."
As the eldest brother with the highest cultivation level cried out in pain, the others began to wake up one after another.
Gu Zheng just stood in front of them, looking at them coldly.
When everyone woke up and saw the cold as ice Gu Zheng, they did not say anything. Instead, they stood aside obediently.
Even if they were not injured, they did not have any thoughts of running away, and did not have any intention of resisting.
Just like that, until the sky was bright, Shuang'Er had successfully saved Yu Zhen and the others. Yu Tian and the others helped him to sit down at the side, and looked at Gu Zheng while treating their injuries.
Yu Tian looked at the six people in front of her angrily. She was grateful that Gu Zheng could save her, but she also knew her limits. She did not intervene to ask what kind of punishment they would receive.
After a long while, Gu Zheng put his hands behind his back and looked at them coldly for a long time. Finally, he spoke.
"Take off your scarves, there's no point in hiding your faces now." Gu Zheng's voice was like the cold snow in winter, causing them to shiver.
They looked at each other, and the eldest brother said helplessly.
"Take them off, don't do anything, just be honest."
He was really afraid that his companions still could not see the situation clearly, and would foolishly try to escape or hide something.
The others took off their scarves dejectedly. The opponent was so strong, there was no point in resisting. It was better to be alone.
Gu Zheng looked at the opponent's real face. His expression did not change, but he sighed in his heart. It was indeed the people he saw in the restaurant.
When he saw their size and six people, he had some guesses in his heart. There were four men and two women.
He didn't expect that in just two days, the other party would actually be caught by him. Moreover, the target was actually Yu Zhen and the others who he had just discovered. If he hadn't coincidentally discovered Yu Zhen and the others' identities, the two of them would probably have fallen into the enemy's hands.
More importantly, when he chased after them, he actually didn't find any traces of them the first time. If he wasn't sure that the other party was hiding nearby and deliberately left to hide nearby, he wouldn't have been able to find any traces of them when the other party took the initiative to come out.
Obviously, when he came out, someone found him, knew that he was going to save them, and informed them in time. In that case, his identity might have been exposed, and they already knew that he was here.
However, this might be a good thing. Since he did not have any clues to find them, he would let them take the initiative to find him.
He did not believe that they would not think of a way to get rid of him after knowing of his existence. Could it be that they would just watch him destroy their plans? He would like to see who was better.
Gu Zheng thought carefully, and his expression became more and more serious. The six people in front of him felt uneasy. They did not know how the opponent would deal with them.
They thought that since they were caught here, this person would definitely torture them. However, they did not expect that the opponent would fall into deep thought after just a glance at them, as if he had forgotten about them.
Moreover, the unfamiliar woman beside him, although she only glanced at them from time to time, an invisible pressure shrouded their heads. It made them realize that this seemingly weak woman was also a powerful immortal. It made them feel completely hopeless, and they did not have any thoughts.
However, the more the opponent did not ask them, the more they felt a chill down their spine. If they had no value at all, wouldn't they be abandoned in the next moment?
"Senior, how do you plan to deal with us?" As the eldest brother of the six people, even if he did not want to speak and fall into a disadvantage, he had to bite the bullet and ask at this time.
These words brought Gu Zheng back from his contemplation. After glancing at Gu Zheng, he coldly said, "That's right.
"Don't you know what crimes you have committed? You helped Goblin to harm your own people. Are you worthy of your parents who raised you? "
In fact, if it were not for the fact that he knew that they were forced to do so at the restaurant, he would not have caught all of them. He could have just caught any one of them because he could feel that they were not bad at heart. They were just ordinary people who had to compromise when their lives were threatened.
Otherwise, the secrets in their hearts could not be hidden in front of him.
"We didn't do anything bad. This is our first operation, and we were caught by you." Upon hearing Gu Zheng say this, the youngest sixth sister subconsciously retorted. Her cultivation was only at the fourth rank, and she was the weakest member of the group.
However, facing Gu Zheng's cold gaze, her voice unconsciously began to lower. In the end, it was almost inaudible, and her head was lowered.
"Kill us or torture us as you wish. We have already put our lives on the line. Please don't insult us." Gu Zheng looked at a tall and thin man and said to himself.
"Yes, I know that we were prepared to kidnap your disciple, but we did not do anything for Goblin. Please don't slander us." The third brother also said.
The few of them looked at Gu Zheng with a look of righteous indignation, as if they would rather be killed than humiliated.
"I don't care if you really don't know, or if you are pretending not to know, or if you are just putting on a show for me. Even if you want to die, you have to tell me everything that happened behind the scenes. Do you really think that your lives are in your hands now? Tell me honestly, or do you want to suffer the pain of having your soul searched? I can tell if you are telling the truth or not. "Gu Zheng's tone was full of coldness, and it shocked them again.
"What do you want to know? We don't know much, because we have only joined them for ten days, and we were forced to join them. Moreover, we have a restriction placed on us. If we don't have the antidote in time, you don't have to do anything, and we will all die. This is our first operation." The eldest brother took a step forward and looked into Gu Zheng's eyes as he said seriously.
"Restriction? So there are some things that you can't even say out loud? "Gu Zheng asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, it's not that we don't want to tell you, but if we want to say it, I'm afraid that before we can say it, our souls will be destroyed." The eldest brother explained. He was really afraid that Gu Zheng would come up and search their souls. Regardless of whether it was painful or not, none of them wanted to die.
Perhaps if they told the truth, they might be able to get this immortal to save them. This was the only small plan in his heart.
"No wonder. Do you know? In fact, your leader is a Goblin, lurking in the human world to cause great destruction to satisfy some of their shameful things. "Gu Zheng said slowly.
"Impossible. I remember that I observed them at that time, and they were one of the more powerful ones. If it wasn't for the other party's despicable drug, we wouldn't be afraid of him." The eldest brother said in disbelief.
"That's right. If the other party is really a Goblin, we would rather die than listen to them. Even if we die, we won't." They were immortal cultivators, and more or less knew what had happened in the past.
Moreover, they were usually the first line of defense for humans. They specialized in killing the Little Goblin, and at the same time gaining experience. Sometimes, they would go deep into the Beise Mountain Range to kill some demons, regardless of whether the other party killed humans or not.
The hatred humans had for demons was deeply buried in their bones. Countless humans had died in the mouth of the Goblin, and no one could erase it.
However, since the other party said it, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill them, it was most likely that the senior was right. They had unknowingly become the Goblin's lackeys.
"Senior, if you can help us get rid of the other party's control, we are willing to be at your disposal and will never betray you. If we dare to go back on our words, we will die a horrible death and will never be reincarnated." Old Four, who hadn't found a chance to speak, immediately said.
Hearing his words, the others' eyes immediately lit up. How could he not understand Old Four's meaning?
The other party definitely wouldn't lie to him. There was no meaning in this matter at all. More importantly, if he relied on such a powerful senior, not only would he be able to get rid of the mysterious person's remote control, but he would also be protected by the senior from being threatened by the mysterious person. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
For a moment, all of them looked at Gu Zheng eagerly.
