In the hall above, Xu Jing and the rest were still trapped in the same spot, watching the enemies in front of them trying to break through their defenses.
The passports Gu Zheng gave them were definitely useful. Until now, there were no signs of him wanting to destroy them. This made everyone believe Xu Jing when he said that the bearded man could protect them forever.
Although no one said anything, they were still nervous. Their eyes were fixed on the other side, afraid that after Gu Zheng was defeated, those people would turn around and attack them. Occasionally, some people would glance at the Emperor who had returned to his poisoned state.
Xu Jing said a few words in a low voice. Seeing that the other party was barely able to deal with him, Xu Jing wasn't in the mood to cheer them on. He could only calmly look over there. Layers of red light covered their vision, but it also let him know that Fu Xing was still inside and hadn't been killed by the other party. This made him feel a lot better.
On the other hand, although they couldn't say that they were laughing, the joy on their faces couldn't be concealed. Everyone was discussing something in low voices. Although there were still King Wei's personal guards attacking them from the outside, none of them were worried.
Unlike them, the one in front was still commanding the soldiers with a serious face. They were taking turns to attack the other party's protective shield. Even if it was useless, they still continued to do so.
Just as this situation lasted for an unknown period of time, the originally still protective shield suddenly trembled. Even the entire palace shook a little.
This gave everyone a shock and caused everyone to turn their attention over.
The passports that were originally flashing red were now flashing more frequently. Moreover, the color was starting to dim. It seemed that the loss inside had ended and the protective shield was about to be removed.
"Who won!?"
This question lingered in everyone's mind. This was truly related to the fate of both sides.
However, on the Ye family's side, the winning side was definitely their side. Not only did they have more people, but they also had the support of the immortal's formation. There was no way they would make a mistake.
Therefore, all of them had a relatively relaxed expression. Compared to Xu Jing's side, most of them were pale, forming a stark contrast.
As the transparency of the passports rapidly decreased, they could see the blurry scene inside clearly.
All of them knew that not long ago, a figure had left here. There should be three people left inside now. However, only one person had left. Moreover, his expression did not seem right.
This caused their hearts to thump, and a bad premonition arose in their hearts. The smiles on their faces began to slowly disappear.
When the light screen was almost completely transparent, the only figure inside suddenly opened his eyes.
Large beads of sweat rolled down his face. He stood up abruptly and spat out a mouthful of blood, which dyed his clothes red. However, he didn't even wipe it off. He turned around and ran outside, disappearing in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
"Maybe he just had something urgent to attend to."
The entire room was silent. Even the bodyguards stopped attacking and looked at their commander.
No one replied to that person's words. Everyone's eyes were all looking at the ground, because in the remnant image above, there was a figure with a cold smile on his face, punching the sky again and again.
Behind him, there was a huge monster standing with its head held high, looking around vigilantly. Below him, there were countless rubble flashing with red light. On top of the rubble, there was the figure of a dead woman.
Some of them clearly recognized that this person was the one who had just ambushed the other party. This caused their expressions to become unsightly. Everyone looked at each other, and finally, their eyes fell on the two people at the front.
Before Ye Xun left, he had given all the authority to them.
Dong, dong.
Every time the other party threw a punch, a huge sound would ring out in the palace. The sound was getting louder and louder. Even the ground began to tremble slightly.
"Sir!"
One person anxiously shouted at the two people in front of him. Clearly, time waits for no one. It seemed that they had lost. However, they had to think of a way. They couldn't just stand here and wait for death.
"Let's go find Master Ye."
The two also discussed with each other and quickly decided on the final plan.
After the two of them finished speaking, everyone clearly felt relieved. They hurriedly followed them and left.
The bodyguards also panicked and left. Soon, only Xu Jing's group was left. Everyone else had disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Xu Jing's group seemed to have come to heaven from hell. Xu Jing's face revealed a bright smile. He didn't expect that he would have the last laugh in the end.
Gu Zheng was actually so powerful. Xu Jing thought that he was lucky that he had always been polite and didn't do anything to annoy the other party. That was how he managed to successfully invite him.
It seemed that in the unseen world, the ancestors were also blessing them. That was why such a powerful immortal was able to come to their home at this juncture.
No matter what, their lives were saved for the time being.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the palace was shaking violently, as if it would collapse in the next second.
"Everyone, don't worry. Even if the palace collapses, we will be safe. This shield is enough to protect us." Xu Jing said to everyone with a smile.
"But what about His Majesty?" A person looked at His Majesty lying alone on the bed in the distance and whispered.
Xu Jing looked. It was as he said. However, he knew that this was a one-time use shield. Once it was removed, he wouldn't be able to activate it again.
However, he didn't hesitate for too long. After thinking about it, the shield outside flashed a few times and disappeared.
"A few people come and follow me to carry His Majesty out. The rest of you go out quickly and be alert!" Xu Jing immediately ordered loudly. He definitely wouldn't watch His Majesty be smashed to death.
At this time, the walls around the palace had some cracks. Some places began to rustle with dust. It seemed that they wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.
A few slightly stronger officials and a few guards followed Xu Jing to His Majesty's side. They struggled to lift the dragon bed and move it outside. The others ran out first and cleared an open space for them.
By the time Xu Jing and the others arrived outside, there were no enemies around. It seemed that their loss had caused everyone to leave.
Seeing this situation, they continued to leave the palace for some distance before stopping.
With a violent explosion, the entire palace collapsed. Two streamers quickly flew out of the palace and stopped in front of Xu Jing and others.
"Young Master Gu! Are you okay? "Xu Jing said very respectfully. Otherwise, he would have been buried here.
Although they weren't afraid of death, they were afraid that Lan Nation would disappear.
As for the strange man who appeared behind them, it seemed that he was Young Master Gu's follower.
"En!" Gu Zheng nodded. After scanning the surroundings with his divine sense, he didn't find any traces of Goblin. It seemed that they had escaped.
"You guys should think of a way to win this battle. I can't interfere in the affairs of the human world anymore." Gu Zheng said in a deep voice.
"We can definitely defeat them. However, those Immortals who escaped, I'm afraid …" Xu Jing expressed his worries.
"Don't worry. They won't dare make a move. I'll get Shuang 'er to hold the line for you later. That way, they won't do something unexpected in their desperation." Gu Zheng thought for a moment, then took out something and handed it to Xu Jing.
"Thank you, Young Master Gu. However, I have a presumptuous request. Please take a look at His Majesty's condition. He is more serious than before." Xu Jing thanked him and then said with a troubled expression.
"You don't have to worry about this. I will do it even if you don't ask." Gu Zheng stretched out his right hand and a small golden dragon swam back and forth in his palm. It looked up at the sky from time to time.
However, Xu Jing and the others couldn't see it. They were confused but didn't say anything.
"Find me a room, and bring His Majesty in as well. His condition is quite serious, and he needs to recuperate." Gu Zheng said seriously.
At this moment, deafening cheers could be heard from afar. King Wei's personal guards had defeated the Ye Family's army and were capturing the enemies. There were still more than ten people running towards them.
"When you find a good place, I will go. Remember, I don't need anyone to serve me. I will inform you when I'm ready." Before Gu Zheng's voice faded, his body disappeared from Xu Jing's sight. Even the man behind him disappeared.
Xu Jing looked at the empty space in front of him and understood what he meant.
At this moment, there were more than ten galloping sounds behind him. Xu Jing turned around and saw King Wei leading more than ten personal guards towards him.
"Haha, I'm relieved to see you all safe and sound." King Wei didn't wait for the horse to come to a stop. He jumped down from the horse and looked at the crowd and laughed.
"Thank you, King Wei, for coming to our rescue. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to escape in time. I wonder if King Wei has caught Ye Xun?" Xu Jing cupped his fist towards King Wei and thanked him.
"No. Perhaps he knew that he couldn't hold on for much longer and escaped. However, I have sped up my men to catch him. Now that the city gates are completely closed, he can't run away." King Wei said confidently.
"Then I hope you can catch him. However, we need to find a quiet place for His Majesty to recuperate. I have found an expert who can cure His Majesty. However, we need time." Although they were all important officials in the imperial court, they still didn't have the right to walk around the palace. At least, no one would say anything about King Wei at this particular moment.
"Alright, I'll let my eldest son accompany you. When the time comes, I'll pull out his tendons and skin him alive. I'll let him know what life and death is." King Wei gritted his teeth and said. Then, he waved his hand at a dignified middle-aged man behind him and signaled for him to come out.
"Bin 'er, go find a few people to escort him to that hidden palace of yours. You know where it is. After that, go to the harem and see if you need any help."
"Understood!"
He immediately came out from behind and answered. Then, he brought a few strong bodyguards and carried His Majesty away in a hurry.
"Alright, my lords. Please follow us into the city and capture these rebels. Otherwise, those traitors might find an opportunity to do so." At this moment, the bodyguards behind had already captured the defeated soldiers and were making their way over.
Everyone followed behind him and walked out. Although they were fully prepared, they were still worried about their own families.
On the other side, Gu Zheng was hiding at the side. He followed them all the way to a very secluded courtyard. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned for many years. The entire courtyard was in tatters.
They simply cleaned up the master bedroom and left His Majesty alone there before leaving.
This was the order they received. It was likely that the mysterious expert didn't want to show himself.
Gu Zheng waited until the other party left before he appeared with Bei Chen. He frowned as he looked at everything. With a wave of his hand, a fluorescent light appeared in all directions.
All the dust and dirt disappeared when they came into contact with the fluorescent light.
Everything in the small courtyard was brand new and spotless. Gu Zheng nodded in satisfaction and said to Bei Chen behind him.
"Guard the surroundings and don't let anyone disturb me. I'm afraid it will take a long time to heal His Majesty."
Bei Chen nodded and turned to the courtyard. He casually set up a boundary to prevent ordinary people from barging in. Then, he sat in the middle and began to heal himself quietly.
He was already severely injured. In addition, the silver-masked man deliberately squeezed him dry. He deliberately wouldn't be able to recover his cultivation for a long time.
Gu Zheng took out the yellow golden dragon again and threw it forward without hesitation. The golden dragon instantly sank into His Majesty's forehead and entered His Majesty's body.
Gu Zheng also put one hand on His Majesty's arm and began to heal his injuries. He also nourished the last little golden dragon.
Although His Majesty's condition wasn't serious, it was very complicated. With his mortal body, he had to remove it bit by bit. For safety's sake, even if he was anxious, he could only do it slowly.
Moreover, without the suppression, Gu Zheng's strength had recovered a lot. He only needed to recuperate for a while to return to his peak state.
For ten days, Gu Zheng stayed in the room and carefully treated His Majesty's illness. He only opened his eyes today.
At this time, His Majesty's breathing was even and his face was ruddy. The poison in his body had been completely removed and he could wake up at any time.
However, before Gu Zheng finished his breath, his face changed. His whole figure blurred and appeared in the courtyard in the blink of an eye.
At this time, without knowing when, two women and a man appeared in the courtyard.
The two women turned out to be twins. They were dressed exactly the same and had beautiful faces. They were both wearing long white clothes. Their beautiful hair fluttered in the wind like fairies.
The other man had a square face. His face had a natural majesty. At this time, he was carrying a listless Bei Chen in his hand. He was a strong man like a child. However, Bei Chen didn't dare to resist. He didn't even dare to show dissatisfaction on his face.
When Gu Zheng appeared, six pairs of eyes looked at Gu Zheng. They looked at Gu Zheng unscrupulously. When they found that Gu Zheng's cultivation was stronger than theirs, their expressions became serious.
"Three friends, I wonder what business you have here? You even captured my servant. "Gu Zheng glanced at them. One was at the late stage of Jin Xian while the two twin sisters were at the middle stage of Jin Xian.
"Young Master Gu, come and save me. Tell them that I'm not here to destroy. I'm just here to protect you." Bei Chen saw Gu Zheng come out and immediately howled.
Even if he was at his peak, there would only be one outcome when facing the three of them, let alone now. So when they came, he didn't resist at all. He just repeatedly explained his identity.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng had placed a restriction on his body. At least, they didn't do anything for a while. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
"Friend, don't worry. We didn't hurt your servant. You can rest assured." The three of them looked at each other. The middle-aged man stepped forward and smiled.
"In fact, we know what you did inside. Thank you very much for everything you did for us."
After saying this, the three of them bowed slightly to show their gratitude to Gu Zheng.
At the same time, they put Bei Chen down and removed the restriction on his body.
As soon as Bei Chen landed, he ran behind Gu Zheng like a wisp of smoke and whispered.
"They are the members who protect the humans here."
Gu Zheng nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. Seeing the other party swagger out of the palace, in addition to the other party's current attitude, although the other party was very polite to him, he could see the arrogance in the other party's eyes with a single glance.
However, it seemed that the other party knew what he had done. At least he didn't have to explain so much.
Gu Zheng was exhausted now. He just wanted to finish his task and rest immediately.
"You seem to have come a little late. Haven't you found any traces of the Goblin after so long?" Gu Zheng said bluntly. In fact, they didn't do anything. How did the Goblin mess up their territory? How did Xue 'er and the others provoke such a powerful guy and put themselves in danger?
"You know what you want to say, but in fact, we really didn't find anything. If it weren't for you, our friend, we would have committed a heinous crime. Such a thing would have happened under our noses." The middle-aged man smiled bitterly. It wasn't that they didn't notice something unusual, but the changes in the human world were too fast, and they didn't investigate further.
The two beautiful twins also smiled awkwardly because the three of them were in charge of this place for 10,000 years. It was their fault that such a situation happened.
"What are you going to do now?" Gu Zheng looked at the other party and couldn't help but ask.
"It's like this. We also just found out a little about the other party, but the information we have is not enough. We want to exchange information with you to understand the other party's current situation. Of course, we won't let you do it for nothing. After all, you have done so much for us." The middle-aged man looked hesitant, but he still said it.
This made him blush, and he felt embarrassed. However, he already knew the whole story, so he couldn't let the other party do it. They also had to do what they should do.
"Sure, but I also want to know some things. Please tell me the truth. What do you think?" Gu Zheng smiled brightly. Even if they didn't know the exact location of the Goblin's final resting place, they guessed that it was somewhere around there.
"No problem!" The middle-aged man agreed readily.
"Alright, wait for me to finish the last thing on hand!" Gu Zheng pointed behind him and walked back.
