Gu Zheng's figure followed closely behind. Looking at the churning black fog below, a ball of flame emerged from his palm. He was about to erase the black fog completely from this world.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait."
The black fog below barely managed to gather a head and shouted at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng's hand paused in mid-air as he looked at the black fog trying to say something.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't kill me. I'm willing to submit to you. I'm even willing to be your subordinate. I can release my soul and allow you to control my voice at any time." The somewhat miserable Song Hu had a pleading look on his face. At this moment, his vitality was greatly damaged. If Gu Zheng were to land a palm strike on him, he would be dead for sure.
"Let me ask you a question first. Why did you eat humans?" Gu Zheng did not answer. Instead, he asked himself a question. Why did the black fog take such a risk to eat humans?
"Because I just devoured his main body. My body is extremely weak. If I don't have the essence of a human to replenish myself, my strength might drop by a level. That's why I had no choice but to take the risk." Song Hu answered honestly. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he continued pleading.
"I can lay down a very wide barrier. Whatever happens inside will not be noticed by anyone. I beg you, please give me a way out."
"You can't let him go. Such a big matter can't be concealed. If someone finds out, you'll be implicated." On the other side, the purple-clothed girl saw that Gu Zheng was about to win and immediately withdrew her barrier. When she came over, she happened to hear Song Hu begging for mercy. She immediately said to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng did not answer. At this moment, on a distant mountain peak, many figures of demons appeared in front of them. When they saw the scene, the leader of the group saw the unconscious humans and demons on the ground and rushed over while shouting. However, they did not see Song Hu. After all, they had received orders to capture these demons and humans who had betrayed the Ancestor God.
"Fellow Daoist, if you spare my life, I'll immediately order these people to stop. Otherwise, they'll kill all of them. That was my previous order." Song Hu quickly said.
"No need. I have my ways to make your subordinates stop." Gu Zheng sneered, because at this moment, on the other side of the mountain, an incomparably large number of people also appeared on the top of the mountain. Gu Zheng slightly moved his mouth, and the number of people who were four times larger than these people, under the leadership of Ren Ling and Hai Ming, rushed towards this side.
"You're from the South. How dare you ask us about the East? And you damned Sea Demon. Why are you ruining my business instead of staying in the sea?" When Song Hu saw the warrior, he instantly understood what was going on from the warrior's aura.
"So what if I do? I won't accept your surrender. That ability is useless to me. Die!" Gu Zheng's hand instantly landed on Song Hu's body.
"You can die too!" Although his thoughts of joining Gu Zheng had been shattered, in this short period of time, he had accumulated a trace of energy. When Gu Zheng's palm fell, all the black fog condensed into a black line and instantly entered Gu Zheng's body.
"Be careful." The purple woman saw all this, but the opponent's speed was too fast for her to react. Before she could finish her words, the opponent had already drilled into Gu Zheng's body. She couldn't even stop it.
Gu Zheng's body remained motionless, but before the purple woman could worry, the black fog drilled out of Gu Zheng's body again, forming a very frightened face.
"You … you …." Looking at Gu Zheng, he wanted to say something, but he found that he couldn't say anything. Then, he no longer hesitated and escaped into the void, trying to escape from this place.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
Gu Zheng didn't give him any chance this time. The flames on his palm instantly turned into a ball, surrounding somewhere to the side. Then, when the ball closed, the black fog suddenly appeared. Obviously, Gu Zheng had caught it.
"No!"
The surrounding flames burned once more. With a wail, Song Hu returned to ashes, and earth returned to earth. He was dead.
On the other side, Hai Ming and Ren Ling had completely captured the demon. With so many people, coupled with the previous devilish training, it was easy to deal with the demon. They only had a few dozen minor injuries on their side.
At this time, those who had fainted gradually woke up after Song Hu disappeared. When the demon captain saw that his warriors had been captured, he quickly went over to explain something to them.
"Thank you for saving my life, Fellow Daoist." The purple-robed woman bowed to Gu Zheng and thanked him.
"It's nothing. Speaking of which, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid these people would have been devoured by Song Hu." Gu Zheng replied politely.
"I also encountered it by chance. I couldn't just leave it. Unfortunately, other than this matter, I can't stay in the east." The purple woman said with a sigh.
"Hehe. Isn't your tribe here? Speaking of which, I still don't know your name. I'm Gu Zheng. As Song Hu said, I'm from the south. I just passed by here and heard the movements here. Then, I found it strange. I can't not ask. "When Gu Zheng heard the other party's words, his heart moved and he deliberately asked.
"Brother Gu, my name is Zi Yi. I don't have a tribe now. I'm just a wandering ancestor god. It's impossible for me to have a tribe in the future. Also, for some reason, I can't even absorb the power of incense. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state." Zi Yi said with some sadness.
"Then, Miss Zi Yi, do you have any plans in the future?" Gu Zheng asked tentatively.
Zi Yi thought for a moment before saying, "I don't have any other plans. I just want to go up and have a look. I heard that there are many rare treasures up there. Maybe I can go do some missions and see if I can exchange for them. Or perhaps, when it's time to leave, I'll leave this place."
Why don't you come to my tribe? You can take a look at my warriors. They are very elite. Although it is only a middle-ranked village, I have decided to fight for the quota to leave this place. You should know that without the power of incense, there are indeed many troubles here. Why don't we go together? "When Gu Zheng heard that, he immediately extended an invitation.
"It doesn't matter where I go. I can see that you are a good person. I'll follow you for the time being. Let me make it clear. If I want to leave, I can leave at any time." Zi Yi pondered for a moment before saying to Gu Zheng.
"No problem. Miss Zi Yi is very welcome." Hearing that, Gu Zheng readily agreed. Truth be told, the other party was incapable of even absorbing the joss flames. There was nothing to restrain the other party at all. Naturally, Gu Zheng did not need to contribute anything either. The two of them were more like partners of equal status.
Even so, Gu Zheng was willing to let her join. He didn't lose anything and could even gain a good fighting force.
Although she couldn't use the power of incense, she was still a late Jin Xian expert.
"Then, Ancient Ancestor God, I'll be in your care in the future." Zi Yi smiled like a peach blossom. Her delicate face stunned Hai Ming, who had rushed over.
"Don't be so polite. Just call me Gu Zheng." Gu Zheng laughed.
"Then I'll call you Young Master Gu. Don't call me Miss. Just call me Zi Yi." Zi Yi also said.
After saying these two sentences, the feeling of unfamiliarity between the two suddenly disappeared.
"Master, we have completed the mission. Neither the other side nor we are injured. What should we do next? Should we go to the opposite tribe to spar? "With Ren Ling's help, Hai Ming said with a pained expression.
"No need. We'll go back now. Don't ask about these people," Gu Zheng said to Hai Ming.
"But the other side wants to follow us. They don't want to go back to their village." Hai Ming immediately said. Seeing Gu Zheng's puzzled look, he continued to explain.
"It's the humans and demons who were lying on the ground. They are wanted by the tribe. Even if it's all a misunderstanding, they are afraid of being ostracized when they go back. They want to go with us."
"Then let's take them with us. We have plenty of food. Are you worried about not having enough to eat?" Gu Zheng said. He didn't understand why Hai Ming had to ask him such a simple question.
"Young Master Gu, the other side is from the west. Your disciple is worried about causing trouble for us." Zi Yi understood the reason and spoke for him.
"Hey, do you need me to ask you such a simple question?" Gu Zheng looked at Hai Ming with disappointment. "Let me tell you, these people are our captives. Didn't we take care of them? At worst, we won't give them to the other side. "
"Yes, Master. Why didn't I think of that?" Hai Ming suddenly realized.
"Hurry up. You don't need me to tell you such a small thing. We'll go back together. When we go back, let those people go. Don't cause trouble. We are in a hurry to attack other tribes." Gu Zheng waved his hand and sent Hai Ming away.
"Young Master Gu is really amazing. I didn't think of that." Zi Yi praised from the side.
"You're too kind. It's just some experience of leading a tribe." Gu Zheng said modestly.
Soon, except for a small number of demons who decided to go back, they had to report to the deacon of East Earth City. The others, including everyone, followed Gu Zheng.
Even if they knew that Gu Zheng was from the south, they still followed. They didn't want to stay here.
After packing up, the group left the captive behind and left.
On the other side of the mountain range, Xia Qi was waiting impatiently because he had heard the battle cries from before. Just as he was about to lead the remaining warriors over, he found that his men had once again come over from the mountain range. When he saw Gu Zheng return, he heaved a sigh of relief.
As for the woman beside Gu Zheng, Peony Shi didn't say anything. When Gu Zheng returned, he stepped forward and asked, "Elder Ancestor, what happened?"
"Ancestor God, what happened over there? Should we send our warriors out?"
Gu Zheng saw that Peony Shi was expressing his sincerity, so he didn't expose him. "No, it's been taken care of. Wait for them to return, then we'll move out."
"Yes!"
"Are these the warriors of your village? You are truly mighty and extraordinary. No wonder you were able to defeat that demon in one move. "Looking at his appearance and aura, Zi Yi truly sighed in admiration.
"Of course. I spent a great deal of effort to train them. I reckon that sweeping through the middle ranks won't be a problem." Gu Zheng laughed mischievously. He had paid a considerable price to create this Steel Master.
When Hai Ming and the others returned, they set off again.
Along the way, Gu Zheng had the warriors train. Now that the results were out, they just had to keep in touch. There was no need to train as hard as before.
Just like that, they wandered along the way, and nothing special happened. Finally, they were about to arrive at their base.
After a total of more than two years, they were finally about to go back.
Although they had wasted a lot of time, Gu Zheng felt that it was worth it because he had laid a very solid foundation. It was not like before, when he was afraid that someone would destroy him.
Now, if he didn't attack others, they would be burning incense.
The flag of the tall mountain peak in the distance had appeared in front of them. In less than three days, they would be back there.
He wondered how He Sheng was doing. After two years, he should have built the foundation of a village. There was also Ren Jie and the others. Who knew how many people had come.
They could transport everyone over in just five trips. Hopefully, the gate would be faster.
However, all of this would only be revealed when they arrived.
.....
A few years ago, Guan Xi was very proud of himself. After many years of hard work, his village finally had enough people. Of course, this was all thanks to the glory of the ancestor god.
Not only did he bring along their tribe, but he also brought along more than fifty thousand people who had leveled up. He passed through the Teleportation Portal and was teleported to the new encampment. While he was at it, he even tricked that damned Xi Feng Village. It was their fault for having a conflict with their ancestral god.
Originally, they should have been the ones to go to the island. At that time, their population was more than forty thousand people. That way, they would be on par with the demons on the other side. However, before they went, the ancestor god found out about many homeless people and applied for promotion.
And that mess was directly recommended to Xifeng Village by the ancestor god. Who told them to trust the ancestor god and report it themselves? They even added a little bit of vinegar.
Ever since his tribe moved here, it was indeed much better than before.
Not only did the power of incense travel in the air increase by more than ten times, but the statues even produced incense beads some time ago. That was the effect of their faith in the ancestor god.
However, everything was interrupted by the things that happened two years ago. Since then, his mood had become a little bad, and he was no longer in a good mood.
Two years ago, a new tribe appeared in their east.
This made him very curious. After all, their location was assigned by the higher-ups. At that time, he felt that their location was particularly bad. It was closer to the west. If they wanted to attack him, he would be the first to bear the brunt.
After all, they were the weakest within a radius of ten thousand miles. Even if they were still building their new home, they were already mentally prepared.
Now that there was a new tribe, he could relax a little. There was someone to block for them.
Under normal circumstances, if a new tribe wanted to completely stabilize here, it would take at least ten years to complete the construction of their home.
Moreover, the rules here were slightly different from the ones below.
There were three different areas. Other than the ancestor god, people were generally not allowed to cross the area.
Especially when the higher-ups attacked the people below. That was absolutely not allowed.
In the end, when he found out who the tribe belonged to, his expression changed. It was actually Xifeng Village. He saw it very clearly. It was not the same name. It was the Xifeng Village that they had set up.
He did not forget that naked flag. He used to know about Xifeng Village.
Originally, he thought that they would either be wiped out in that battle or be merged into other tribes. He didn't think that a mere few thousand people would be able to make any waves. However, in the blink of an eye, they had all arrived here. It was simply inconceivable.
However, when he saw that although there were many of them, there were very few people who could fight. Especially the ancestor god who had embarrassed him, he had been replaced. Although he might have died in the battle, his heart stirred.
Although he was also very weak, the other party was even weaker. It was like an exquisite big cake.
If they were discovered by the tribes in the east, it was very likely that they would directly pounce on them.
In the middle, they had lost a lot of protection. For example, they could only attack people of equal strength. That was the low-level protection. Here, as long as a tribe declared war, they could directly send all their people. The strong would become stronger, and the weak would be eliminated.
However, with the stronger defense of the red ball as protection, if they attacked the other party, the losses would be great.
Because the distance between the tribes in the middle had increased, if they attacked from a distance, the effects of the blessings on them would be reduced.
If they wanted to avoid this, they would have to spend a lot of points to buy a small teleportation stone. It could teleport a large army to any location. Of course, it was also very expensive. Ordinary ancestor gods could not afford it.
Moreover, once defeated, the people would not be captured by the other party. Instead, they would be converted into points of equal strength. As for the defeated, they would have to wait for the deacons in the middle area to distribute. They would either be scattered back to the elementary level or taken away by other ancestor gods to replenish their own tribe.
It was said that after reaching the high level, apart from ancestor gods, the rules for everyone would be removed. It was possible for several tribes to besiege one tribe.
Guan Xi did not understand the upper level. At most, he had heard a few words from ancestor gods. There were no regions there. Everyone from all four directions were gathered in different places.
In short, all of this was very far away from him. Now, after a year of observation, they were finally absolutely sure of their strength. They were simply too weak to stand up to the wind.
On this side, Guan Xi led a relatively large number of warriors. There were more than ten thousand of them. They were pouncing on this side, determined to pick up a soft peach to eat.
After a month of arduous travel, as expected, the other party did not have many warriors. However, there were quite a number of celestial immortal experts.
What made him even more depressed was that in a short period of two years, the other party had actually established a very strict defense. It seemed that all of their energy was focused on this.
After a few simple exchanges, they were unable to break through the defense. This made him feel that he did not know where to start.
In addition, their back was against the border. On the side, they were facing enemies from two sides. After a few probing exchanges, they retreated to the side and began to think of a way to break through the other party's tortoiseshell like defense.
