"Sister Xue 'er, don't be sad! If Brother Zhao Man saw you like this, he would be very sad! "Shuang 'er tried to control her emotions as she consoled Xue' er.
"I … I know … but … but I can't control myself!" Xue 'er's muffled voice sounded out as she gasped for breath.
"We'll go later! No matter what, we have to wait for a while! " Someone on the side wanted to report this to Shuang 'er, but was stopped by an elder. She couldn't see the situation from here, but she had been paying attention to Shuang' er, so she understood the whole story. She sighed.
She also knew that Zhao Man was a very good person. Apart from his extreme hatred for Goblin, he was a very responsible person. It was just a pity.
Right at this moment, two figures flashed in from outside and appeared beside Xue 'er.
These Snow Mountain disciples were stunned, but they had already recognized them, especially the woman, who had helped them some time ago. They knew that she was one of them, so they didn't have much of a reaction.
"Young Master Gu!" Shuang 'er hurriedly called out when she saw Gu Zheng's figure.
"Zhao Man is dead?" Seeing everything in front of him, Gu Zheng immediately understood what had happened. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. This was the person he had known for a long time. He had even given him a weapon to protect himself, but he had actually been killed!
"Big Brother Gu, please save Zhao Man. I'm willing to stay by your side for the rest of my life and pour tea for you. I only beg that you save Zhao Man!" Xue 'er heard Shuang' er's cry and raised her teary eyes, her voice hoarse.
Gu Zheng looked at Xue 'er's dim eyes and shook his head. Xue' er's bright eyes dimmed as she said dejectedly.
"I know that he's already dead, and he can't come back!" Xue 'er's spirit was extremely low.
She was like a blooming flower that was quickly wilting, making one feel pity for her.
Seeing Xue 'er in such a state, Gu Zheng couldn't bear to see her like this and said, "But there's a forbidden method that can revive Zhao Man, but the consequences are also very serious!"
"As long as she can be resurrected, I'm willing to pay any price!" Snow's eyes suddenly lit up, filled with hope.
"There's no need for anyone else to pay the price. It's just Zhao Man himself. Once he's resurrected using a forbidden technique, all of his memories will disappear. You can even say that he's a completely different person. His personality can change!" Gu Zheng said solemnly.
"Does he still remember me?" Snow asked with a glimmer of hope.
"No, not to mention you, even I don't know him!" Gu Zheng said regretfully.
In fact, Zhao Man was already dead. He couldn't be more dead. His soul had been destroyed. It seemed that he had burned his soul to do something important. Otherwise, Gu Zheng could have used the Soul Convergence Technique to forcibly bring him back.
When he saw the disappointment in Xue 'er's eyes, Gu Zheng suddenly remembered that he still had a soul in his hands. He had inadvertently' seen 'the soul's past before. He was also an ordinary cultivator with a good temperament. He was perfect for lodging in Zhao Man's body.
That was why Gu Zheng was so serious. After all, the resurrected Zhao Man would not be himself, but someone else. As long as he made the arrangements, the other party would definitely cooperate with him.
His main goal was to not let Xue 'er feel so sad. He just needed to wait for a good opportunity to let Zhao Man leave this place.
As time passed, everything would naturally be washed away.
"I understand. Then I'll have to trouble you to revive Zhao Man!" Xue 'er said disappointedly. Compared to her previous state, she was already in a much better state.
Compared to having no hope, this at least gave her a sliver of hope.
At most, she would accompany him more in the future and see if she could awaken his memories!
"Alright, you should rest for a while. There's no time to lose. I'll take him away from here now. I'll be done very soon. Xing Cai, continue to be on guard here. I'll be back soon!" Gu Zheng said in a low voice. He reached out his hand and shot a golden ray of light that wrapped around Zhao Man.
"Alright!"
Xing Cai could also feel the faint sorrow in the air. She turned around and disappeared. She stood guard outside to prevent any stray beasts from escaping, as well as some beasts that were attracted to this place.
After all, they were already quite deep into the mountain range.
After Xing Cai disappeared, Gu Zheng nodded at Xue 'er and the others. He flew into the distance with Zhao Man, and soon disappeared from their sight.
"Sister Xue 'er, you have to believe in Young Master Gu. Brother Zhao Man will definitely come back!" Shuang' er comforted Xue 'er, who was in a daze.
"I know. Young Master Gu will not let me down!" Xue 'er mumbled, but her eyes were still looking in the direction Gu Zheng had left.
"Miss Shuang 'er, what should we do next?" The Snow Mountain Elders finally came over to ask after seeing that the situation had calmed down a little.
Shuang 'er was basically the one in charge of the matters here. Qi Xiang had repeatedly reminded them before he left.
"Gather the injured first. I'll treat them!"
At this time, there were many injured people in the Snow Mountain. If some of them were not treated, it could easily lead to irreversible consequences. Even though Shuang 'er wanted to accompany Xue' er, she had no choice but to leave first.
"Sister Xue 'er, I'll treat them now!" Shuang 'er said to Xue' er with some guilt. She couldn't accompany Xue 'er when she needed someone the most, but she couldn't just stand by and watch the injuries of the Snow Mountain disciples worsen.
Although they had taken some pills, the amount was far from enough. She couldn't just ignore it.
Xue 'er only nodded slightly when she heard it. She didn't even move her head. At this time, all her attention was still on her own. She didn't hear what Shuang' er said at all. She only placed one hand on her spear and gently rubbed it, like a wife waiting for her husband to return.
Shuang 'er sighed in her heart when she saw this. She adjusted her mood and walked over to the people who had already gathered.
Under Shuang 'er's instructions, the two of them stood beside Xue' er, ready to help her at any time.
Gu Zheng didn't walk too far with Zhao Man. After passing through a few mountain peaks, he casually found a place to land. Halfway up the mountain, he dug a hole and dived in.
A hazy golden light flashed, and the hole that had been dug out at the last minute was blocked.
Gu Zheng carefully placed Zhao Man's body on the ground. At this time, his body had been cleaned, and even his wounds had healed. If not for the fact that he wasn't breathing, it would be impossible to tell that he was dead. It was as if he was sleeping.
Gu Zheng flipped his hand and took out a crystal. When he first obtained it in the Shura's passage, after he brought Xiao Le in, he didn't take it out again. It was to protect him to the greatest extent.
At this moment, Gu Zheng could see that there was a "person" sleeping inside the crystal that led to the netherworld.
With a thought, Gu Zheng sent a strand of his Divine Sense inside, carefully waking him up.
Half an hour later, a wisp of black flame came out from inside, and Xiao Le's soul appeared in the air.
However, compared to when he first saw him, his body was obviously a little dim, which made Gu Zheng a little surprised. Normally, how could the other party consume so much energy?
"Dao Friend Gu, we meet again. I didn't expect you to really come out!" Xiao Le looked around and felt everything around him. The environment was completely different from the inside of the Shura's passage.
To be honest, he didn't think that a person at the peak of Jin Xian would be able to come out. It was just that he was in a desperate situation at that time, and had no other way.
"It's a long story. It's not just me, almost everyone escaped. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come out." Gu Zheng said, avoiding the important points.
"In any case, I, Xiao Le, will accept your life-saving grace." Xiao Le said solemnly.
"This time, you're here to find me a place to stay. This corpse seems to have poor aptitude, but it's not a problem." When Xiao Le came out, he saw the corpse beside him.
For him who was at the peak of the Zenith Heavenly Realm, it didn't matter if his aptitude was poor. As long as he had enough time, he could still return to the Zenith Heavenly Realm. It was just that his soul was damaged, and he didn't know how far he could go in the end.
Moreover, he overestimated his own situation. If Gu Zheng didn't wake him up after a few more decades, he would probably fall into a deep sleep.
"Yes. Originally, I wanted to find you a suitable body, but I have a situation here, so I can only wake you up in advance!" Gu Zheng didn't know that he had hit the jackpot this time. Releasing him in advance was just right for him.
Gu Zheng quickly told him the whole story.
"You want me to pretend to be this person, then forget everything and ignore that girl!" Xiao Le nodded thoughtfully and finally confirmed.
"Yes, you just have to remain silent for now. After a while, I'll take the opportunity to heal you and take you away. This way, we'll be separated forever!" Gu Zheng said with certainty.
"No problem. Anyway, I'll have to cultivate again, so I'm not in a hurry to go anywhere." Xiao Le agreed readily. This wasn't a problem at all.
"Thank you for your trouble!" Gu Zheng placed the crystal on Zhao Man's chest. Then, he watched Xiao Le lie down in front of Zhao Man in mid-air and enter his body.
Wisps of icy mist seeped out of the crystal and quickly froze Zhao Man.
Gu Zheng watched for a while before turning his head and waiting for Xiao Le's rebirth.
Half a day passed. Suddenly, a crisp sound was heard in the silent cave. Then, a series of cracking sounds were heard. Soon, a familiar voice sounded in Gu Zheng's ears.
"I really can't get used to this ordinary body!"
Gu Zheng looked back. At this moment, Zhao Man had already stood up and was moving his body to adapt to his new body.
However, Gu Zheng knew that Zhao Man was already dead. This was just Xiao Le's rebirth.
"Let's go! Don't let the cat out of the bag. I don't want her to be sad! "
Gu Zheng took out a ring. Inside, he had already prepared many resources for him. It was enough for him to get through the difficult times in the early stages.
Xiao Le accepted it without hesitation. In any case, his life was given to him by the other party. There was no harm in owing him a little more.
Gu Zheng carried Zhao Man and flew back into the cave.
At this time, in the temporary camp, Shuang 'er was sweating profusely. She had finally healed everyone and ensured that there were no problems left. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
At this time, everyone was resting in an orderly manner. After Xing Cai had set up a new concealment barrier, they didn't have to worry about their safety.
When she raised her head, she saw that Xue 'er was still standing in the same spot. Looking at her back, Shuang' er couldn't help but feel sad.
She had been so busy that she had forgotten everything. Now, with Xue 'er's condition, she had actually stood there for so long. It was not something that she could bear.
Shuang 'er took a bowl of hot soup from the side and walked over to Xue' er. "Big Sister Xue 'er, have something to eat!"
Xue 'er didn't say anything. She only shook her head and rejected her good intentions.
Her tightly pursed lips were already somewhat dry, and her face was somewhat pale. Even the hand holding the spear was trembling slightly. However, her eyes were still resolute and bright, filled with the light of hope!
If not for the spear, she would have collapsed long ago.
Seeing Xue 'er like this, if they didn't wait for Gu Zheng to return, she probably wouldn't be in the mood to drink.
Looking at the distant sky, Shuang 'er prayed in her heart.
"Hurry back, Young Master Gu!"
Perhaps her prayers were answered. After a few blinks of her eyes, two black dots appeared in the distant sky and quickly approached her.
It was Gu Zheng and Zhao Man!
"Gu Zheng, you're back!" Just as they were about to approach, Xing Cai flashed out from the side and said to Gu Zheng.
"No suspicious people appeared, right?" Gu Zheng asked casually.
"There's a late-stage Jin Xian Goblin wandering around the area, as if he's looking for something. However, I've already hidden this place well, so he can't find this place. However, he's still near the snowy mountain not far away."
Gu Zheng didn't want to find trouble with that Goblin at all. A few Loose Goblins were no threat to him. "There's no need to tangle with him. Tear off the barrier later. We'll prepare to escort these people out of here. Let's go to the human territory first!"
"Mm!" Xing Cai casually tore off the barrier. Now that Gu Zheng had returned, there was no need to hide anymore.
Just as Xing Cai tore off the concealment barrier, the figure in the distance was suddenly startled. He turned his face in their direction. After sensing two powerful auras, he thought for a moment and quietly approached.
"Zhao Man!" Seeing Gu Zheng and the others come down, and seeing Zhao Man behind her unscathed, Xue Er's face lit up and she happily called out.
Unfortunately, Zhao Man only looked at her in confusion, as if he didn't recognize her at all.
Although she had expected this result, Xue Er's heart still ached.
"Big Brother Gu, to what extent has Zhao Man recovered his memories? Is he only in his teens?" Shuang Er asked curiously.
"Right now, he only has the intelligence of a five-year-old, but he doesn't know anything at all," Gu Zheng told them 'truthfully'.
"It's alright. He'll recover slowly!" Shuang Er said to Xue Er.
"Mm." Xue Er nodded subconsciously. She looked at the dazed Zhao Man standing behind her and thought about how he was willing to sacrifice his life for her, and tears began to flow uncontrollably.
"Right, let him keep this weapon. Perhaps it'll still affect his memories!"
Xue Er finally stopped crying. Then, she picked up the weapon from the ground and walked towards Zhao Man. She handed the weapon over to him with both hands.
However, Zhao Man didn't take it immediately. Instead, he looked at her in confusion.
Seeing how deeply in love this woman was, Xiao Le couldn't bear to reject her last bit of kindness. After seeing that Gu Zheng didn't reject it, he delayed for a moment. Seeing that Zhao Man was about to lose his grip on the weapon, he reached out to take it.
Xue Er watched as Zhao Man finally took the weapon from her just as she was about to give up. A radiant yet pale smile appeared on her face, and she finally felt comforted. It was as if the old Zhao Man had returned.
Suddenly, she felt a wave of dizziness. The world spun around her, and her body fell limply to the ground.
She was already very weak when she woke up from her coma. Furthermore, seeing Zhao Man die had greatly affected her, and she had been standing for half a day. She was already an arrow at the end of its flight. She had been holding on for so long to wait for Zhao Man's return. Now, she finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed.
"Careful!" Seeing this, Gu Zheng hurriedly reached out to grab Xue Er's shoulder.
"Stop!"
Just as Gu Zheng's hand grabbed Xue Er's shoulder, he heard an angry roar from afar.
A silhouette instantly appeared near Gu Zheng's group from the periphery.
This time, everyone was in an uproar. The Snow Mountain disciples all stood up and looked at the figure in the distance.
He wore a small green felt hat with a small tail on the back. He wore an elegant green robe, and his face looked very young. At this moment, he was looking at Gu Zheng with an angry expression.
However, before Gu Zheng could reply, Xing Cai, who was standing beside him, rushed forward and threw a punch at him without warning.
"Bang!" A light sound rang out.
The young man dodged to the side, then quickly hit Xing Cai's arm a few times. Then, he hit Xing Cai's shoulder with his palm, and Xing Cai's figure flew back.
Gu Zheng's eyes immediately narrowed. It was true that Xing Cai had expended a lot of energy in the previous battle and was also injured. However, the other party had easily forced Xing Cai to retreat with a single move. If the other party hadn't been merciful, Xing Cai's injuries would have worsened.
"Wait, Xing Cai!" Gu Zheng reached out to stop Xing Cai, who was still unconvinced. "The other party isn't from here. Don't be anxious!"
"Carry Xue Er and help her tidy up the blood in her body. She was too sad this time, and her heart meridians were damaged. Help her recuperate a little. Don't leave any side effects!"
When she heard Gu Zheng's words, Xing Cai glared hatefully at the other party. She took Xue Er from Gu Zheng's arms and retreated to the side.
"Who are you, sir? Why are you so imposing? Can't you see that our people have been shocked by you?" Gu Zheng looked at the other party and asked gently. However, his lower body was ready to move. If it hadn't been for the other party's aura, he would have already made his move.
However, if the other party didn't give him a satisfactory answer, he couldn't blame him for avenging Xing Cai.
"I am that girl's elder!"
