Gu Zheng and Xing Cai were hurrying along in a desolate yellow land. Occasionally, they would pass by a small forest or a small mountain. In just one day, they had already traveled several tens of thousands of miles.
The two of them had been silent for a long time. However, Gu Zheng could not help but ask the question in his heart.
"Are you not a human?"
"Pfft, I was wondering why you were looking at me so strangely." Xing Cai could not help but chuckle when she heard Gu Zheng's words.
"Of course I'm a human. My mother is a human, but my father isn't. He's a powerful Yao. My mother was severely injured a long time ago and ended up here. She was saved by my father. Later, they fell in love with each other. That's how I was born." Xing Cai smiled faintly.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I really admire your mother." Gu Zheng praised sincerely. After all, the union between a human and a demon would never be recognized. Moreover, the pressure to overcome was too great.
Although Gu Zheng wanted to ask about her current family, there was no need to rush. In any case, he would know when he reached her side. Instead, he asked about her.
"Didn't you say you were going back for your fiancé? Did something happen to him? "
"Actually, I didn't say so much before. I'm sorry." Xing Cai revealed an awkward expression.
"It's fine. It's not too late to say it now. Since I promised you, as long as it doesn't violate my principles, there won't be any hindrances." Gu Zheng saw that the sky had darkened, so he began to slow down.
Although the two of them could travel day and night, Xing Cai had already made it clear that they were not in a hurry. Therefore, Gu Zheng decided to rest for a while at night. He could continue to adjust his body's condition.
Right now, he had only recovered a large portion of his strength. He still needed a long time to adjust himself.
"Because my father wants to betroth me to his general's son, a powerful Black Jiao. Although I know him, I don't like him at all. I feel that I should find a human. Although my mother married my father, I don't want it at all. If possible, I still want to find a powerful human, or just stay single." After Xing Cai came down, she spoke the words from the bottom of her heart.
"I see. But why do you want to go back this time? I don't think you want to listen to your father's opinion! "Gu Zheng simply set up a few alarm traps around the area, then sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Yes. Previously, it was because my father forced me that I ran away from home. This time, it was mainly because my father asked me to go back because there was a letter from my mother. She wanted me to take her letter and visit her." Xing Cai was much more particular than Gu Zheng. She took out a cushion and placed it on her body. She also sat beside Gu Zheng.
"Oh, in that case, your father has always known that you are here. It seems that your father also agrees with your opinion." Hearing this, Gu Zheng said with some surprise.
Originally, he thought that her father was forcing her, but it seemed like that wasn't the case. It seemed that her father also agreed with her.
"Yes, my father is very good to me. The marriage was proposed by the other party, and my father couldn't refuse. After knowing my thoughts, he has been threatening me on the surface, but in fact, he has been blocking for me in the dark. I came out this time because my father helped me find an excuse." Xing Cai held her chin and looked at the distant night.
"Then what about your mother?" Gu Zheng looked around and took out some dry wood from his storage. He directly lit a bonfire in front of him. Although it was useless, Gu Zheng felt that the surroundings were too dark. Having some light in his heart felt a little different.
"After I left, my mother returned home once. In the end, she was detained by the family and couldn't come out. Although my father's strength is not bad, he couldn't bring her back alone. Now, he is fighting under the command of the general who just returned. He wants to use meritorious service to make the general go on a diplomatic mission!" Xing Cai's eyes slowly became a little hollow.
"This time, I went back to take the token that my mother left behind. Only by using it can I find my mother's true location. My father wants to see if I can rescue my mother. After all, no matter what, I am not an outsider. It doesn't matter if I do something that is not out of line. Besides, my mother misses me, and I miss my mother too."
"Oh, I see. This is why you pulled me along." Gu Zheng said thoughtfully.
"Yes, because my father specially asked me to bring back a powerful person. Only then can I dispel Hei Yi's thoughts. So, I sincerely ask you to help me. When the matter over there is completely resolved, you can leave at any time."
Xing Cai looked at Gu Zheng with an apologetic look in her eyes.
"Haha, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, this situation is nothing. I will help you block it." Gu Zheng didn't need to think to know that he was being used as a shield.
"No problem, no problem. It is fate that we met. I am willing to be Miss Xing Cai's shield this time." Gu Zheng chuckled. No wonder she had a valiant figure. There were too few people here who could do such a thing.
"Thank you, Young Master Gu!" Xing Cai's heart was relieved. She was really afraid that Gu Zheng wouldn't agree. If that happened, there would be nothing she could do.
In fact, the news had been transmitted thousands of years ago. However, at that time, she vaguely felt that she was about to break through, so she didn't go back in time. She wanted to go back in a spurt of energy. That way, her words would have more weight.
Moreover, she found a friend at that time. Of course, his strength wasn't as powerful as Gu Zheng's, but he was also at the late stage of Jin Xian.
However, when she went to find him later, she was shocked to find that he had disappeared. She didn't know if he had gone out to travel or if something had happened to him. However, Xing Cai was more of a homebody. Other than taking care of the Star Alliance, she basically didn't appear in front of others.
Although she still knew a few people, their cultivation was too weak. They were even inferior to Xing Cai. Just when Xing Cai was at her wit's end, Gu Zheng happened to come here with Xiang Xiang.
At that time, she didn't think that Gu Zheng could become so abnormal. In her eyes, Gu Zheng was just an ordinary person that she could crush at any time. However, who would have thought that Gu Zheng's cultivation would jump three levels in a row? He was even more powerful than her now.
If she hadn't found out that he had only been sealed, she would've been scared to death.
She clearly remembered how Gu Zheng had resisted Dark Snow's main body. At that level, she had only been a bystander. Fortunately, she had sensed that Gu Zheng's blood was unusual and told him in advance. Fortunately, she had been able to make him come with her. With him, she was at least 70% confident that she could make him retreat.
Gu Zheng chuckled and closed his eyes, continuing to recover his body's condition.
The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, the two of them once again set off into the distance in high spirits.
Not long after they left, the two black figures appeared where they had been. However, the cold-looking black-clothed youth on the left was frowning, and the slightly older person next to him spoke.
"Ling Feng, what's wrong? I feel like something's wrong with you. What are you worried about? "
"Kou Qi, just now, I suddenly felt someone watching me. Although it was only for a moment, I still felt it," Ling Feng said with a serious expression.
"Could it be one of us? Normally speaking, the two elders should've been nearby by now. Perhaps they were in a hurry to go over and saw us. " Kou Qi knew that Ling Feng's intuition was shockingly high, especially since he cultivated a cruel close-combat technique. Basically, a long saber was all he had.
"That's possible." Kou Qi pondered for a moment and said with uncertainty. Because that feeling had come and gone in a hurry, it had disappeared as soon as he sensed it. Perhaps it really was the elders.
"Don't worry. The ones who came to our aid this time are early-stage Grand Heavenly Realm elders. Although the two of us are at the peak of Jin Xian, the other party is definitely hiding their strength. You should know that even a newly advanced Grand Heavenly Realm is enough to kill them. Don't be rash. Otherwise, why would we call for reinforcements?" Kou Qi looked at Ling Feng and knew that he had never given up on the idea of fighting. He was truly a martial arts fanatic.
However, if one were to talk about who could advance to Grand Heavenly Realm in the end, it would definitely be him. He had been obsessed with cultivation, and Kou Qi had been stagnant for many years, watching him catch up step by step. Now, Kou Qi had no choice but to admit defeat.
"En! Let's continue to follow them. Remember to bring the statue over. The elders still have to go out after this matter. Let's bring it back and play with it. We can't make any mistakes. "Ling Feng shook his head and concealed the bad premonition in his heart.
At this moment, two elders had been dispatched to guard against the unexpected. How could there be any mistakes? Perhaps the other party had something that could threaten him, which made him a little too excited.
He really wanted to fight with a powerful enemy like the other party. Only a stronger enemy could allow him to improve.
At this moment, Gu Zheng and Xing Cai naturally didn't know that they were being watched. They were still flying while telling each other some interesting stories.
However, although Xing Cai was very envious of Gu Zheng's unrestrained wandering state, she didn't want to be too far away from home.
For three days in a row, Gu Zheng and the others traveled during the day and rested a little at night. Just like that, they continued to travel unhurriedly.
But at noon, as they were moving forward at an extremely fast speed in the sky as usual, Gu Zheng suddenly closed his mouth and frowned tightly. His two eyes looked around, and at the same time, his divine sense frantically probed the surroundings. His figure also slowly descended.
"What's wrong?" This change made Xing Cai stunned.
But Gu Zheng didn't pay attention to Xing Cai and kept looking around.
At this time, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear for thousands of miles. The warm sunlight shone on the body and the surroundings looked normal.
But Gu Zheng suddenly felt his blood boiling inexplicably, which made him feel a little restless. It seemed that someone was spying on him and harming him.
But he had already released his divine sense to the maximum and didn't feel any discomfort. And now, his blood had returned to normal, as if it was just an illusion.
But in his heart, there was a strong uneasiness, as if urging him to escape quickly. Otherwise, a great disaster would befall him.
"Let's go, as fast as we can!" Gu Zheng said to the puzzled Xing Cai quickly with a serious expression.
The two figures flashed and turned into two streamers, rushing away at an extremely fast speed. They were several times faster than before.
But after half a day, Gu Zheng's figure suddenly stopped. Xing Cai's reaction was a little slower. After flying a long distance, she stopped and turned around quickly. When she saw Gu Zheng's ugly face, she couldn't help but ask in puzzlement, "What's going on?"
"What's wrong, Gu Zheng? Did something happen?"
"Maybe this time we are in big trouble." Gu Zheng took a deep breath and said slowly, "It's best to prepare for battle, we have been ambushed."
Hearing this, Xing Cai was surprised, but still took out her weapon to warn the surroundings. But after a long time, nothing happened. But looking at Gu Zheng's serious expression, Xing Cai didn't question, but continued to look around, trying to find a trace of abnormality.
After a while, Xing Cai finally couldn't help but ask Gu Zheng, "Gu Zheng, did you make a mistake? How could there be someone?"
"Maybe you didn't notice, but we have been trapped in this space." Gu Zheng's eyes didn't move as he stared at a certain place.
Xing Cai glanced around and didn't find anything unusual, so she asked strangely, "I didn't notice. Who on earth came before us in advance? Could it be the remnants of the Goblin?"
Because other than them, there didn't seem to be such a powerful enemy.
"Swoosh"
Gu Zheng's eyes suddenly moved, and he waved his hand to release a huge sword Qi, slashing towards a certain place in the void.
However, when the Sword Qi was still halfway there, the void rippled and a figure suddenly flashed out of the void. It was an old man who was close to seventy years old and was wearing a white silk brocade robe suddenly appeared in front of them.
Facing this powerful sword Qi, the old man coldly snorted and directly reached out to grab the sword Qi.
In the next second, the sword Qi made contact with his palm, but something happened that made Xing Cai's jaw drop. That sword Qi was like an egg hitting a rock. With a crisp sound, it shattered the moment it came into contact, dissipating in the air. It didn't even hurt the old man.
Especially when the old man looked at her with contempt, she shivered and felt a chill all over her body, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her whole body actually stiffened.
"Gu Zheng, right?"
The old man's hands were behind his back, and he glanced at Gu Zheng indifferently, then asked casually.
As the breeze blew past, his clothes fluttered slightly. He looked like a transcendent being who had transcended the mortal world.
"Who are you? Why have you trapped us here? " Gu Zheng said slowly, and at the same time, he quickly sized up the old man, so that he wouldn't be confused by his appearance. But his heart sank slightly.
He didn't know the other party, but the other party already knew his identity. It seemed that the other party didn't come with good intentions.
In particular, he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation, which made Gu Zheng have a bad premonition in his heart.
"Of course you don't know us, but it's your fault for daring to touch someone you don't dare to touch." At the same time, another old man in a black brocade robe slowly appeared from another direction and blocked Gu Zheng's path.
At this moment, Gu Zheng's heart sank to the bottom. He didn't expect that there were actually two people. This made Gu Zheng distract him and dispel the idea of letting Xing Cai leave first.
"I don't know who I've touched to actually make the two of you go through so much trouble to specifically block me so that I can die a quick death." Gu Zheng said so, but his mind was thinking about how he could have gotten rid of such an enemy here.
Young Master Qi!
Gu Zheng's mind suddenly fixed on Young Master Qi's face. Apart from him, he really couldn't think of anyone else with such strength to actually send two early-stage Grand Heavenly Realm experts to block him.
But how did the other party find out that he was the one who killed Young Master Qi? That space couldn't be detected from the outside.
"It seems that you've already thought of it. Do you have any last words? Hurry up and say it. In a while, I'll send you two lovebirds down to hell to meet again. "The white-robed old man still said indifferently, not even looking at Gu Zheng and the others.
They were just two slightly stronger ants that could be casually squashed to death.
"Seniors, I don't know how I've offended you. I've been in seclusion these days. If I've really offended you, please tell me." Gu Zheng didn't know that the other party already knew about him and wanted to see if he could get away with it.
Of course, this was also because he cared about the strength of the other party. That was why he tucked his tail between his legs. At the same time, his mind was spinning wildly, thinking about how to safely escape with Xing Cai.
"It seems that you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. You actually still want to pretend. I'll let you die knowing our Young Master Qi. In the end, we have a source of information that you killed him with your own hands." The black-robed old man waved his hand and a layer of transparent shield shrunk rapidly. Soon, it surrounded Gu Zheng within a radius of a thousand meters.
Seeing that the space around him had become even narrower, Gu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly. However, he did calculate in his heart. Just now, he knew that he had fallen into a large space, but he didn't know how big it was. Although it had shrunk, the thing that Senior Zhu Fei gave him happened to be useful.
However, even if he broke free from this cage, he wouldn't be able to get rid of the other party's pursuit because they weren't on the same level.
In other words, even if the other party gave Gu Zheng a three-day head start, they would be able to catch up to Gu Zheng in less than half a day if they pursued him with all their might. It was that simple. Therefore, they had to hide their figures so that even they couldn't find them.
After thinking about it, Gu Zheng could only think of the green crystal that he carried with him. It was completely different from this world. As long as he was given some time to hide, even Big Luo wouldn't be able to find him.
His reserves weren't endless, but it was enough to support him until he escaped to a safe place. After all, simply hiding his figure would consume very little energy.
These thoughts flashed through Gu Zheng's mind. After the other party's voice faded, Gu Zheng paused and said in a daze.
"Although I have fought against Young Master Qi, that was for the sake of saving my friend. Besides, you all know that I was trapped by Young Master Qi's magic treasure back then. Later on, I was sucked into the magic treasure as well. How could I possibly kill Young Master Qi?"
Gu Zheng said with an aggrieved expression. However, in his heart, he was thinking of refining the fake Fire Dragon Barrier when he had the time.
"You have a sharp tongue. Don't talk nonsense with him. Kill him and take back the Patriarch's black beast." The black-robed old man said impatiently when he saw that Gu Zheng was still quibbling.
An inconspicuous black ball appeared in his hand. He was about to throw it over to kill Gu Zheng and Xing Cai.
