Hearing this, the disciples of Mt. Xue were enraged. They didn't think that they would be so careless. They all rushed towards Gu Zheng. In their opinion, with so many of them, they could easily take down this boastful person.
Gu Zheng looked at his surroundings. There were even two people pouncing over from the sky. They wanted to use the power of lightning to kill him. The weapons of those people flickered as they aimed at his head, heart, and other fatal places.
Gu Zheng looked at the opposite side. Other than a few people who didn't move, the rest all rushed over like a swarm of bees.
"Bam!"
Gu Zheng raised one hand and rubbed two fingers together. It made a crisp sound, as if he was just casually moving.
However, in everyone's ears, especially when a heavy drum suddenly sounded, everyone's hearts suddenly trembled. At this moment, it was as if all the blood in their veins had stopped, and even their hearts had stopped beating. Their minds had stopped working, and the entire world had become still. There was silence.
This short moment felt like a few decades to them. In the next breath, that sound disappeared from the sky. The sound that had originally disappeared rang out once more. They could even hear their own blood flowing again. That roaring sound filled their bodies.
But at this time, they discovered that they had already lost control of their bodies. Their bodies had lost 90% of their strength. They all fell to the ground weakly. They all looked at Gu Zheng in horror. They didn't think that the other party's strength would be so terrifying. With just a light raise of his hand, their side was completely wiped out.
This kind of method had already surpassed the realm of mortals. Could it be that this person had already become an immortal?
Thinking of this, they panicked. Although Mt. Xue wasn't afraid of the other party, if he killed them now, even if Mt. Xue chased after him, they wouldn't be able to save their lives.
Now they could only pray that the other party would give face to Mt. Xue and leave them a way out.
Right now, the only person who could barely stand was Manager Shi. At this moment, he was also looking at Gu Zheng with a face full of shock. When he saw Gu Zheng looking at him, he couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva and said with a trembling voice.
"Let me tell you, I have the Great Snow Mountain behind me. If you dare to do anything to us, the Great Snow Mountain will not let you off."
"Hehe, it's not the Great Snow Mountain behind you. I'm afraid it's the Goblin, right?" Gu Zheng said leisurely when he saw that the other party still wanted to quibble at this moment.
"Bullshit! Don't slander me! I'm an orthodox disciple of the Great Snow Mountain, and I've been cultivating for decades. I'd rather die than be insulted!" Manager Shi said righteously. However, his eyes were constantly looking around the surroundings.
Especially when he saw the nearly transparent barrier above his head, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes. He finally understood what it meant to lift a rock and smash it on his own feet. He wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Yes, you thief, we would rather die than let you insult our Snow Mountain!" A disciple of Mt. Xue shouted from the ground. He struggled to get up, but his body was weak and his movements were futile.
However, his words not only attracted Gu Zheng's attention, but it also provoked the others to follow suit. They constantly swore that the might of the Great Snow Mountain was not to be trampled on. They all struggled, and it seemed like they wanted to fight Gu Zheng to the death.
Just when Gu Zheng's attention was attracted by the group of people below, Manager Shi immediately rushed to the door. Of course, there was more than one opening and closing of the barrier. However, the closest one was on the projector wall, which was facing the door.
Usually, it would only take a few breaths of time, but at this moment, he felt that it was so long. He looked at Gu Zheng from the corner of his eyes, still paying attention to the people below, and tried his best to get closer to the switch. As long as the barrier was opened, he only needed to escape. Using his special ability, he could completely prevent Gu Zheng from discovering him.
When he turned around the projector wall, he saw from the corner of his eyes that Gu Zheng was still in the same place. It seemed that Gu Zheng had not discovered his movements. This made him happy. He turned around and pressed on the eye of an ornament on the projector wall. As long as the barrier was successfully closed, he could escape through the main door.
Unfortunately, he was very optimistic. However, in the next second, when his palm was about to press on the eye, a white fan suddenly blocked him. His hand directly pressed on the eye.
"Where do you want to go?" That seemingly gentle voice appeared beside him again, causing him to be stunned.
Manager Shi turned his head stiffly and saw a smiling face appear beside him. One hand was leaning on the projector wall, and the other hand was holding a fan, blocking his movements.
"Go to hell!"
He did not know when Gu Zheng had appeared beside him. The fear in his heart made him explode all of a sudden. A black short spike, emitting a faint black light, quickly appeared in his hand and stabbed toward Gu Zheng's abdomen.
"Ah!"
A scream came from behind the projector wall, causing the people in the middle and on the ground to panic. This was because they could tell that it was Manager Shi's voice. Moreover, the enemy in the middle had mysteriously disappeared in front of their eyes.
They raised their heads and looked in the direction of the sound. A figure suddenly crossed the projector wall, turned into a beautiful arc, and landed in the empty space in the middle.
Everyone focused their eyes and saw that it was Manager Shi. However, he was in a very sorry state now. Both of his arms were in a very strange shape. He was lying on the ground, and his arms seemed to have been broken.
Large droplets of sweat continuously appeared on his forehead. His entire face was distorted because of the pain, and he was still screaming non-stop. This caused the remaining Mt. Xue disciples to feel a chill. The originally shouting voices immediately stopped.
Gu Zheng walked out from behind the projector wall leisurely. Seeing that everyone was looking at him angrily, he did not care. He looked at the people below and directly waved his hand. Another three people flew out from the group.
Gu Xiao, who was in front, also flew out from the place where he was healing his injuries. Like the others, he fell in the middle position in a sorry state.
"What are you doing?"
"Stop it!"
When the people next to him saw this, they thought that Gu Zheng was going to kill him and hurriedly shouted.
However, Gu Zheng acted as if he did not hear them. He slowly walked over again.
On the other side, Ding Yun did not go forward because of his low combat strength. Although he was put on the ground by Gu Zheng, he was still lying in the corridor. Like the others, he was also looking at Gu Zheng angrily. However, suddenly, a bright light flashed from Gu Zheng's waist. He could not help but look over.
With this look, his angry eyes immediately widened. He stared with an incredulous expression.
There, there was a snow-white pendant. However, most of the pendant's body was blocked by a wall. Only less than a third of the pendant's face was exposed. It was almost undetectable. If it were not for the reflection of light, he would not have noticed it.
Even though it was only a third of the pendant, Ding Yun could tell at a glance that it was an elder's token from the Great Snow Mountain. This gave him a huge shock. How could this person be an elder of the Great Snow Mountain? Why did he do all this?
The great doubt caused him to be in a daze. He looked at Gu Zheng's back and pondered.
"Actually, I don't blame you. After all, you are also people who have been deceived." In the eyes of the Great Snow Mountain disciples, Gu Zheng stood there and said something inexplicably that they did not understand.
"The few of you can only say that you are unlucky." Gu Zheng stood in front of the four people and smiled at them.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. Just be reincarnated as a human in your next life. Why be a demon?"
Gu Zheng had already raised his palm. A faint golden light was emitted from his hand. The four people below were already immobilized by the strong pressure. Their eyes were all filled with fear.
Even if they wanted to beg for mercy, they could not speak.
Unfortunately, as Gu Zheng's palm pressed down, the four of them trembled and the light in their eyes dimmed. Their heads tilted and their auras disappeared at the same time. Drops of blood appeared on their faces. They died with blood flowing out of their seven orifices. It was an extremely gruesome death.
When the surrounding Great Snow Mountain disciples saw this scene, a tragic aura appeared around them. Everyone looked at him with the will to die. If it were not for the fact that they could not move, they would have already rushed up and fought with their lives.
Their own brothers and sisters had died right under their eyes, and they were powerless. This feeling was too heart-wrenching.
"Elder, what are you trying to do? Have you already betrayed the Great Snow Mountain? Or have they already betrayed the Great Snow Mountain? "A voice suddenly sounded behind Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng turned his head and looked at Ding Yun, who was half sitting up, with a questioning expression.
"Ding Yun, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you confused? He's an enemy, not our Elder, "a nearby Hanging Mountain disciple angrily rebuked, thinking that Ding Yun was confused.
"I didn't say anything wrong. He is an elder of our Great Snow Mountain. He has our badge on his waist." Ding Yun turned his head to look at his senior brother beside him and said seriously.
"Oh, your eyesight is pretty good!" Gu Zheng lifted his clothes to reveal a faintly glowing white token. At this time, a hazy mountain peak was carved on it. It seemed to rise from the ground and was faintly glowing. It looked just like the peak of the Great Snow Mountain.
This was the Elder token of the Great Snow Mountain!
When Gu Zheng had first entered, the light had slowly increased until it had completely lit up. Now, it was giving off a steady white light. However, everyone's attention was on Gu Zheng, so they did not notice it.
Everyone's pupils shrank when they saw the token in Gu Zheng's hand. This was the Elder token of the Great Snow Mountain, and they did not doubt it at all.
Even if an Elder's token was taken away by an enemy, it would not glow here. This was because the token was bound to the person who took it. Only the person who took it could faintly resonate with the stronghold. This was also used to identify the Elder's identity.
After all, it was not like the Great Snow Mountain had never seen an Elder's token being taken away by someone pretending to be one of their Elders. However, the Great Snow Mountain had thought of this from the start, so no one had ever succeeded.
Gu Zheng looked at the token in his hand. He had thought that the Elder had taken away the fake token when he had asked for it. He hadn't expected that the Elder had only rubbed it back and forth a few times before returning it to him. So that was how it was.
"Elder!"
The people below looked at each other in dismay. They couldn't believe that the person who had killed their fellow disciples was actually an Elder of their own sect. Their killing intent unconsciously faded. After all, compared to an Elder's betrayal, these dead people's betrayal was more convincing.
So far, the Great Snow Mountain had not thought of an Elder betraying them, but many of their disciples had.
"Get up first." Gu Zheng waved his hand again. A breeze rose out of thin air and slowly blew over everyone's bodies.
They were shocked to find that their symptoms had almost completely disappeared. Although their legs were still weak, they could at least stand up. There was no need to lie on the ground in a sorry state.
Everyone looked at each other. Now that the current steward was dead, they elected a relatively more dignified disciple of the Great Snow Mountain to come forward and ask what was going on.
"Elder, I am disciple Xue Yong. May I ask why Elder killed them for no reason?" Xue Yong stepped forward and bowed to Gu Zheng in a disciple's manner before asking solemnly.
Even if the other party was an Elder, he still had to give them an explanation.
Before Gu Zheng could speak, a few exclamations came from behind Xue Yong. It seemed that they had discovered something surprising.
"You'll know when you turn around. I can't be bothered to explain." Gu Zheng shrugged and pointed behind him.
Xue Yong hurriedly turned around and saw that the corpses on the ground had become the corpses of four Goblin.
Among them, Steward Shi, who had stood up for them previously, had turned into a large insect-like animal. The other three were also of a different species.
"This … this!" Xue Yong was shocked. Steward Shi was his senior and they had known each other for more than ten years. However, he did not know that Steward Shi had turned into a Goblin.
"I know. Your place has been infiltrated by the Goblin. If you leave like this, I'm sure that you will be attacked by the nearby Goblin on your way back. What do you think your chances of survival will be?"
At this moment, Gu Zheng's slow voice was heard.
"Thank you, Elder. We didn't know when they had been swapped. If you hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid that as Elder said, none of us would have made it back." Xue Yong also understood why they had been singled out. Perhaps the Elder already knew that the four of them had been swapped. This time, he had deliberately come here to get rid of them.
The others also bowed respectfully to Gu Zheng. The previous misunderstanding had been resolved. In their hearts, there was only gratitude for surviving a disaster.
"It's okay. If it weren't for some matters, I would have been here long ago." Gu Zheng waved his hand and said to them.
"But how many years has it been since a Goblin appeared in Feng City? We have to report this to our superiors immediately." Xue Yong immediately said with a serious expression.
"But the message that we had to retreat was given to us by Elder Xue Yong. If we report it, he will be responsible for it. Is that right? "A doubtful question came from behind. Although they did not dare to believe it, what if it revealed that they already knew that the Goblin was hiding among them?
"Changfeng, are you saying that Elder Xue Yong could have been infiltrated?" Xue Yong trembled when he heard this. He could not believe it.
If it was true that Elder Xue Yong had been infiltrated, it was simply too terrifying. One had to know that the person responsible for contacting them was the Elder who was in charge of all external affairs. In terms of power, he was basically second only to one person.
"I'm just suspecting. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental? The elders told us not to take anything and immediately evacuate from here. They didn't even want a single person to stay behind. Otherwise, such a thing has never happened in the past ten thousand years." In the crowd at the back, a tall and thin man saw that everyone was looking at him. He looked a little unconfident, but he still firmly expressed his doubts.
"Pa pa!"
"Yes, what you said is very reasonable. In fact, I belong to the Dark Operation of Xue Yong. It's just that I've always been outside, trying to expand our influence to other areas. This time, I came back by chance and found that our Great Snow Mountain was full of holes and had been infiltrated by Goblin."
After he finished speaking, Gu Zheng could not help but applaud. Just from this suspicion alone, he knew that this man was smart because no one else had thought of this problem except for him.
As for them, he casually made up a name for himself. Anyway, they did not know about it.
"Do you all remember the Goblin rebellion tens of thousands of years ago?"
"Yes, we have to relive that period of history almost every year because too many people died here at that time. It was our darkest period." Xue Yong replied directly.
"That's right. This time, I suspect that the other party is coming back, and their methods are more sophisticated."
Gu Zheng gave him a look of approval and continued.
"So what you all have to do is not ask about this matter, and don't get involved. We will naturally have people investigate this matter. You all just leave here and return to the Great Snow Mountain. As for the four of them, if anyone asks, just tell them that they left halfway. Moreover, even if those people in hiding suspect you, they will not dare to do anything to you when you are in the Great Snow Mountain," Gu Zheng said solemnly to them.
"Yes, Elder."
Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood Gu Zheng's meaning.
"All of you, hurry up and pack your things. Don't waste too much time. I even suspect that there are other people in other parts of the city monitoring your movements. However, they probably do not know about the people hiding in the Great Snow Mountain. This is the best way to hide their identities."
Even if they did do something, they would not immediately deal with them. Even if the Great Snow Mountain was full of Goblin people, they still had to maintain the appearance of the Great Snow Mountain.
"Oh yes, you stay. I have something to tell you."
Gu Zheng instructed as he spoke to Chang Feng.
The others walked to the back and prepared to continue what they were doing. In fact, they had already started preparing before they came out.
"Elder, do you have any instructions?" Chang Feng walked over respectfully.
"Carry this with you. When you reach the Great Snow Mountain, find an opportunity to take it out and hide it in a secret place. Naturally, someone will find you. Then, you can roughly tell them about my situation, and they will naturally understand the situation. Remember to be careful." Gu Zheng took out an item and stuffed it into Chang Feng's hand as he spoke with a serious expression.
"Chang Feng will not disappoint Elder!"
Chang Feng saw Gu Zheng's expression and knew that this was a very important task, so he also solemnly promised.
