Recently, Sun Weixin had been feeling a little irritable. Especially after Gu Zheng rejected his proposal, his mood became even worse.
He felt that no matter what he did, nothing went his way.
He had just finished dealing with the matter of fighting for supplies, and now he had to make a decision on another matter.
It was all that Gu Zheng's fault. Why did he send him warmth when everything was fine? He didn't need Gu Zheng's kindness. Other than causing trouble for him, he didn't get any benefits at all.
"My lord, the strongest demon on the other side has begun to attack the other side's tribe!" Gui Xi shouted as soon as he came in from the outside. He didn't care about the grievances of that lowly commoner.
"What? That's great. Get out of here quickly! "Sun Weixin immediately told the two people who were still dawdling to get out.
"When did it happen? Did the barrier on the stream disappear?" Sun Weixin waited for the troublesome guy to leave and immediately raised a barrier and asked excitedly.
"It has completely disappeared. The moment it disappeared, the demon tribe finished their preparations and attacked the other side." Gui Xi said excitedly.
They also knew about the appearance of the green fog. Not only was there news, but there was also a layer of green fog in the distance outside the island, preventing everyone from leaving. It was as if the island had become a cage, and no one could leave before the victor was decided.
As for Gui Xi, after Gu Zheng and the others left, he waited for a day before secretly following them. He hid himself far away and hid outside their village, observing the opposite side. It was only when Gu Zheng's tribe was attacked that he hurriedly ran back.
"That's great. I knew that the opposite side would be attacked at the first moment. They were so close, but they didn't know to hide further. They only implicated the villagers." Sun Weixin said hypocritically.
"Yes, but we have already advised them. They are just pretending to be stupid. We can't do anything about it. Should we act according to the plan?" Gui Xi agreed and finally asked.
"Of course! You should quickly gather those elite warriors and bring a group of Celestial Immortal experts with you. Then, you should go and meet the enemy halfway. By the time you come back, I reckon that the enemy won't be able to hold on any longer and will have already begun to collapse. So, other than fleeing to us, where else can we shelter them?" Sun Weixin laughed out loud and hurriedly instructed.
They had been planning for this day. Although they would lose a lot of people, they would eventually merge with the other party.
"Yes!" Gui Xi hurriedly responded and flew towards the Elite Warriors who were already prepared.
After leaving behind Qinglian and a portion of the group to look after their home, the large group of people marched into the distance.
However, they had just left the entrance of the tribe not far away. Sun Weixin was still thinking about how to deal with Gu Zheng, and even wanted him to die at his hands. Wasn't he just a late stage Jin Xian? How dare he be so cocky in front of him? If it weren't for the big picture, Sun Weixin would have taught him a lesson.
In the end, a sudden seal came from afar, interrupting his imagination.
Sensing the power of the attack, Sun Weixin's face sank. Without saying a word, a golden light shone from his chest and a golden wheel-like object instantly rose up into the air. It spun rapidly to form a massive shield, protecting everyone behind him.
These were warriors who were carefully selected. Regardless of food or clothing, they were the best because they were also the strongest among them.
He could ignore the commoners, but he still knew how to win over the warriors who were useful to him. After all, he couldn't support such a large tribe by himself.
Just as he finished doing all this, the storm had already struck. The entire shield was under the strong wind pressure and kept flickering. In the end, it successfully withstood this wave of attack.
Seeing that everyone behind him was safe and sound, Sun Weixin heaved a sigh of relief. He was really wondering who was fighting and why such a powerful aftershock was produced. Then, he heard Gui Xi stuttering and shouting at him.
"My … My Lord, quick … quick, look behind you." Gui Xi was a little surprised as he pointed behind him and said.
"What's going on? What's going on? What is Qinglian doing? " Sun Weixin asked doubtfully. Then, he looked behind him. This made him so angry that he couldn't help but curse.
At this time, the camp behind him was almost completely reduced to ruins. Only a few buildings were still standing. Inside and outside, there were countless people lying on the ground. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
However, after sensing the statues, he knew that the thorns didn't lose much. But it still made him angry. He completely forgot that Qinglian's cultivation was only at the early stage of Jin Xian. It was already very difficult for her to protect such an area.
"Are we going back or continuing forward?" Gui Xi put away the surprise in his heart and asked.
"Continue forward. The other party has been affected like this. They must be in a worse state than us. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can't let go of it. Go and tell someone to inform Qinglian. Before I come back, I must clean it up!" Sun Weixin gritted his teeth and said.
Then, the whole team set off again.
After traveling for a few days and nights, Sun Weixin brought the vanguard tribe close to this place. Looking at the harmonious tribe, there was a lot of laughter and chatter, and the tribe didn't seem to have been attacked at all. This made Sun Weixin stunned.
If it weren't for the many traces of the battle on the ground, he would have thought that he was fooled by Gui Xi.
"This, this, this …"
"This place is very nice. How come Lord Sun has the time to come here?" Before his voice even fell, a light laugh rose from the side, and a teasing voice spoke.
"Fellow Cultivator Gu, congratulations on successfully repelling the enemy. I've already received the news and immediately brought reinforcements over, fearing that you would meet with misfortune. Now it seems that I was worried for nothing!" Sun Weixin smiled again and said to Gu Zheng.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Sun. However, we successfully blocked the enemy and severely injured them. Why don't Lord Sun come in and rest? I can also express my gratitude to the warriors." Gu Zheng chuckled and didn't expose Sun Weixin.
If you really wanted to help, why would an ancestor god like you come with ordinary warriors?
"Okay, thank you for your hospitality, Brother Gu. They must be tired to come here early to help you. Sorry to disturb you!" Originally, Sun Weixin wanted to turn around and go back. However, in the blink of an eye, he wanted to know how the enemy had blocked the enemy's attack. The enemy's strength was twice as strong as theirs. How come they didn't suffer any losses?
Even so, Sun Weixin still used his villagers as an excuse, as if he was thinking for them.
"Please! The soldiers will definitely be well. We will never forget your kindness. "Gu Zheng still maintained a smile on his face and made a gesture to invite them in.
Therefore, Sun Weixin and Gu Zheng walked in while Gui Xi brought the others to the other side to rest. The more he looked, the more shocked he was.
"That is?" After venturing a little deeper, Sun Weixin saw a few Heavenly Immortals flying in the sky. They asked Gu Zheng.
"Oh, those are the demons that we captured during the battle. It's just that there are too many of them and it's giving us a headache. We don't know how to deal with them at the moment, so we have people watching over them all day!" Gu Zheng pretended to be helpless and said with a troubled look.
"Brother Gu, this is your fault. I sincerely came to help you, but you hid it from me. No matter how many prisoners you have, how can you let a few Heaven Immortals watch over them all day? Isn't this using a sledgehammer to crack a nut? "Sun Weixin pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Ai, if Lord Sun doesn't believe me, let's go there and you will know!" Gu Zheng invited him.
Thus, they changed their direction and rushed in that direction.
Soon, they arrived here. The surroundings were all blocked by tall fences. Traces of golden light constantly jumped on top of the fences, greatly strengthening the surrounding defense to prevent the enemy from breaking through the walls and running out.
"Ancestor God!" One of the guards came down from the sky and shouted at Gu Zheng.
"It's nothing. I just came to take a look." Gu Zheng waved the guard away and pointed to the side.
"All the prisoners are inside. We just have to turn this corner and we will see them!"
"Why is the air so fragrant now?" Sun Weixin wrinkled his nose. An obvious fragrance of food filled the air, and there was also a trace of hot air in front of him.
"Now is the time for the prisoners to eat. There are more people, and more food is prepared. It is inevitable that the food will spread." Gu Zheng said with a chuckle.
"Are you kidding? Are the Mo bandits gathering their wounded here? Then, when some of the captives are inside, you can insist that a large number of captives have been captured by you. Let me tell you, now that we are all grasshoppers on the same island, this kind of deceit is meaningless! "Sun Weixin thought for a while and came up with a self-righteous conclusion.
This fragrance was like a delicious meal. Only his elite soldiers could eat it. But if it was for the wounded, it was still understandable.
No matter how many resources there were, how could they give prisoners such good treatment?
Gu Zheng did not answer and just led the way in front.
"Let me tell you, if you have any difficulties, just directly …" Sun Weixin thought that he had grasped the other party's weakness and felt inexplicably refreshed. Who asked the other party to be so different from what he had imagined? But before he could finish his sentence, Sun Weixin turned a corner and was shocked.
"Why, why are there so many prisoners!"
Half of the wall here was a fence that only reached his waist. With a glance, he realized that there were only demons inside. There was not a single human inside, not to mention the wounded that he had mentioned.
The words that he had said just now were like slaps on his face, making him feel a little hot.
What about the wounded that he had mentioned just now? Although Gu Zheng did not say anything, in his eyes, that calm gaze was looking down on him.
In order to divert his attention, Sun Weixin said awkwardly.
"The food that you prisoners eat is really good!"
"I have a lot of resources. If I don't use them, I am afraid that they will go bad!" Gu Zheng said indifferently, almost making Sun Weixin vomit blood.
"Since you have so much, why don't you give them all to me?" Sun Weixin cursed in his heart. Even the prisoners were treated better than them. How extravagant were they?
"It seems that Fellow Cultivator Gu has won the last battle by a landslide! Can you tell me what happened at that time? " Walking away from the camp of the prisoners, Sun Weixin began to inquire about the situation of the battle, trying to pry into the truth of the matter.
"Well said, well said. Please come to the resting area. I will tell you everything!" Gu Zheng looked at the sullen face of the opposite party and felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart. However, he still said calmly.
The last time he went to their place, the pride in his eyes was as if he was a beggar in his eyes. In the end, in order to get some information, he still braced himself and stayed.
Very quickly, a few days had passed. During this time, Gu Zheng brought him around casually. Anyway, there was no need to keep it a secret. As for the previous battle, it was directly attributed to the sudden aftermath of the hurricane.
After sending off the satisfied Sun Weixin, he had taken out some resources that were not less than the previous time. The hurricane this time had caused the other party a lot of trouble. Gu Zheng also did not watch the other party not provide some support. After all, they would be his people sooner or later.
Before Gu Zheng could rest for a moment, a new situation appeared on his side.
"You are saying that some of the prisoners wanted to cause trouble?"
Gu Zheng looked at Ren Jie and asked again.
"Yes! However, it was not that the warning signal we left was triggered. It was that one of the prisoners was secretly looking for trouble and was pulled out by us. Then, he found an opportunity to tell us. However, we are not sure if what he said is true, but thinking that there is no loss for us to lie, I decided to report it to you. "Ren Jie hesitated for a moment before telling the result.
"Oh, that's interesting. You go and bring him here. I will confirm it." Gu Zheng said with interest.
At this time, it had been half a month since the battle ended. Now, except for some people guarding this place, there was no other movement. It was as if they were still recuperating after the previous battle.
However, Gu Zheng did not think so. He was sure that the other party was up to something. It was just that there was no definite information here. Even if Hai Ming and the other two volunteered to go over and inquire about the information, they were sternly stopped by him.
Their performance last time was outstanding and must have been remembered by the other party. Even if they changed their faces, they could not escape the other party's detection. Therefore, they did not know any news from the other side.
In the previous battle, whether the Tiger King's side was seriously injured or not, if they were not injured, they would have launched another attack. He was sure of this.
Other than the ancestor god that he saw that day, he did not know if there was any hidden power.
They did not know any of this information. As for Hai Ming and the other's previous inquiries, it was not necessarily true. Because other than the ancestor god, no one knew how strong they were. It was all up to them.
While he was thinking, Ren Jie had already brought over the demon captive who had surrendered to him.
This was a very ordinary demon. He had a short tail behind him. It was unknown what kind of body it was.
They were dressed in the clothes of ordinary humans, but the Sorcerer was taller than ordinary humans. In addition, he did not skimp on their food when they were captives, and it was even better than before. His thick muscles could be seen from the outside, and he looked very imposing.
This person had the strength of a fifth rank now. He was considered a very strong demon among the warriors.
"You are the demon who surrendered? What's your name? Why did you betray them? "Gu Zheng looked at the demon who was looking at him without fear and asked with interest.
While Gu Zheng was observing him, the demon man was also observing Gu Zheng. He didn't expect that this scholarly looking youngster was the Ancestor God of this place. He even looked refined. However, who would have thought that there was actually a terrifying power hidden underneath?
"Sir, just call me Qiao Qi. I was not originally from their tribe, let alone betray them." Qiao Qi said in a deep voice.
"Oh, even so, you are still people from the west. Logically speaking, you are together. But why did you tell us that someone wanted to save you?" Gu Zheng continued to ask.
"It can't be considered as saving them. Instead, they want us to charge at you from here. At that time, a group of people will also charge out from the other side, attacking you from both sides." Qiao Qi said something that shocked Ren Jie.
"Ancestor god, why don't we take action first and kill these demons?" Ren Jie turned his head and suggested to Gu Zheng. This was the safest method.
If it was really as the other party said, they would not be able to defend against the other party's surprise attack. Their scheme could really succeed.
Qiao Qi also looked at Gu Zheng, not knowing how he would choose.
"Your identity is not ordinary, right? You don't look like an ordinary warrior. Just this bearing is not something an ordinary person can achieve!" Gu Zheng did not pay attention to Ren Jie. Instead, he asked Qiao Qi who was in front of him.
"My lord is in a good mood. My previous identity is already a thing of the past. It has nothing to do with me now. I am only a prisoner now. I don't know how they will deal with us." Qiao Qi did not say it out loud. Instead, he asked Gu Zheng.
"How I deal with you is my business. Now, as long as you tell me everything honestly, you will naturally not be short of benefits. You should put away those little thoughts of yours. Although I am easy to talk to, you have to understand your current position before you talk to me about conditions!" Gu Zheng withdrew his warm smile and said to Qiao Qi in front of him with a serious expression.
After looking at each other for less than a second, the faint pressure made Qiao Qi lower his gaze. The indescribable aura on his body also disappeared, like a defeated rooster.
"I was reckless. My lord, please listen to me!" Qiao Qi's voice was filled with a sense of defeat, even a little hoarse.
It turned out that when Gu Zheng was accompanying Sun Weixin, an ancestor god with a cultivation base at the late stage of Jin Xian sneaked over. In addition, he was especially good at hiding and Gu Zheng's mind was distracted, so he successfully avoided everyone's attention and came to the captive camp.
Of course, he did not look for the ordinary captives. Instead, he secretly conveyed his intentions to those who had a little bit of King Wei and those who were loyal to them.
However, he used to be someone who was loyal to the Tiger King Tribe because of his strength. But now, it seemed that was not the case. He had already smelled danger, so he decided to take the risk.
Whether it was a cliff or a flat road, he did not know.
"Then, five days later, the other party will forcibly release you and give you enough weapons?" Gu Zheng asked with narrowed eyes after hearing this.
