"Be a little more polite. We were having a good discussion here. What are you doing here?" Gu Zheng looked at the man who had half of his chest exposed. The black hair on his chest was rustling, and he looked very arrogant.
Mi Fei didn't retort when he heard the man's words. Clearly, he recognized him and seemed to fear him. However, Gu Zheng wasn't afraid.
"Hey, kid, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're here. It's best if you behave. I was annoyed by your chattering just now. Spare me some peace," the black-haired man said disdainfully. He sized them up again, then turned his head away.
"What's the point of bickering with them? Let's see what mission is up there. I remember the last time it appeared, five tribes went up at the same time. I wonder what it's about this time?" the black-haired man's companion said to him. At the same time, he looked over with disdain.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, don't be angry with them." Seeing that Gu Zheng was about to say something, Mi Fei hurriedly pulled Gu Zheng to the side.
"The other party is an extremely powerful tribe here. Each tribe has a population of three hundred thousand. Who knows how many thousands of years they've been in business? Add to that their strength, and they're all at the top. Especially Tu Kui. His strength is at the peak of Jin Xian, and he hasn't tasted defeat yet. He's terrifyingly strong."
Mi Fei was touched that Gu Zheng was protecting him. However, even he couldn't beat the other party, let alone a newcomer. He didn't want him to get into trouble.
"Oh, what about the others? Do you know? "Gu Zheng said inwardly, pointing to the nearby area.
"Of course I know. Do you see those three people? They have an average population of about a hundred thousand. They've only been here for about a hundred years. And that person …"
Gu Zheng actually knew most of the ancestral gods in the hall. He also knew about their backgrounds. This was beyond his expectations.
"You're really amazing. You even know about this. How did you know?" Gu Zheng said in admiration after hearing this.
"Of course, I found out bit by bit in the hall. Many people here will unintentionally reveal their information when they're chatting. However, I can't be sure if it's accurate or not." Mi Fei said proudly. Then, his tone became somewhat lacking.
"Hehe." Gu Zheng chuckled, causing Mi Fei's face to turn red.
"Although there are some exaggerations, overall, there is no mistake. In the past, when I had nothing better to do, I had to do those low-level quests and slowly came to a conclusion," Mi Fei hurriedly explained.
"Look, there's movement above!" In the hall, someone shouted, immediately attracting everyone's attention to the wall.
At this time, there were already quite a few people in the hall. Everyone noticed that the quest at the top had disappeared. Even if they didn't know what had happened, they knew what was going to happen from the discussions around them.
At the top of the blank space, traces of red mist appeared in the air and quickly formed the shape of a pen. It began to write on the wall in front of it.
The rustling sound continued to rise in the air. At this moment, everyone in the hall stopped whispering and looked up with bated breath. One by one, the characters appeared in front of everyone.
First of all, there were a few bloody words at the top, which caught everyone's attention first.
"Regional Arrest Warrant!"
As soon as these four words appeared, everyone was in an uproar. It was actually a regional arrest warrant! In other words, all mid-level villages in the four regions could accept this mission.
Just who and what kind of mission was it that would cause such a huge commotion? This was simply infuriating!
Gu Zheng also looked up curiously, but what was written next caused his face to change.
"West Feng Village."
At the same time, everyone began to discuss curiously. After asking around, not a single person knew of this village. They couldn't help but be curious.
Although only a portion of the Ancestor Gods were present, the majority had been here for a long time. How could they not have heard of this village?
Still, the words were still written, which solved everyone's confusion and let everyone know why this regional arrest warrant had been issued.
"Half a year ago, the Ancestor God of West Feng Village innocently intruded into Eastearth City and killed the Ancestor God of Dongyan Village, abducting thousands of villagers. His crimes are heinous. Now, all tribes in the various regions are to go on a punitive expedition against him. Destroy his village and kill his Ancestor God.
"Due to certain reasons, this expedition is not unlimited. Each time, only five tribes in each region can declare war. When the Ancestor God of the other side dies or the village is destroyed, the mission will be completed.
"The opposing tribe is very powerful. Please take note! The fewer casualties there are, the greater the mission reward. "
In the final mission reward, it was shockingly written as' unknown '.
Although there was no explanation, everyone knew that the reward would be incomparably generous. Even if it was split among five people, it would still be enticing.
However, the final warning left some people shocked. This was clearly a warning for the Ancestor Gods who lacked vision. If you could kill your opponent, they could also kill you.
And due to certain reasons, you could only defeat your opponent according to the rules. This greatly reduced the difficulty.
Normally speaking, each tribe would only have a single Ancestor God. No matter how many wandering Ancestor Gods you had under your banner, in a battle according to the rules, only Ancestor Gods could fight Ancestor Gods. Others couldn't interfere. In other words, they couldn't gang up on their opponent.
But this time, five people were ganging up on a single person. It was like a free mission.
Because of the appearance of the mission, the entire hall became somewhat noisy. Everyone was discussing the mission.
However, no one blindly accepted it. This was because in the last row, information about West Feng Village was revealed to everyone.
"Population over three hundred thousand. Elite warriors sixty thousand. Ordinary warriors twenty thousand. Currently, there are two subordinate Ancestor Gods."
A simple line of words completely exposed the overall strength of West Feng Village. It was as if everything had been seen through by the other party.
Gu Zheng didn't know why the other party knew so much about him. Even Zi Yi, who had been recuperating and hadn't shown herself, knew about him. However, for the entire district to put him on the wanted list, it was likely that the deacon of the east city had made a move.
"I remember, West Feng Village. Wasn't it the final victor of the island seizing battle? At that time, I thought it was the pride of us southern humans. "Someone looked at the somewhat familiar name of the village and suddenly shouted out loud.
In an instant, the hall suddenly fell silent. Then, it burst into an uproar again.
Everyone knew that the humans of the south had won the island seizing battle. Many people here had bet a lot on it, but at most, they would pay attention to how many tribes had participated. Some might even glance at the participating tribes.
As for who won, they probably didn't care much about it. However, they knew the name of Gu Zheng from the Ying family. After all, he had created a miracle all by himself.
He had actually led the south to win against the west in an impossible situation.
Clearly, Mi Fei also knew this. After hearing this, his originally admiring expression suddenly froze. He couldn't help but slowly look at Gu Zheng and swallow a mouthful of water.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, I remember that when you introduced yourself, you said you were called Gu Zheng. Did I remember wrongly?"
"That's right. I am Gu Zheng! "Gu Zheng calmly said. Seeing Mi Fei's expression change once more, Gu Zheng's expression changed once more.
"I really was blind. I actually placed my attention on you!" Mi Fei said with a bitter expression. He was clearly trying to pull Gu Zheng in.
"Heh, but no matter what, even if he's from the south, I still have to accept this mission. You have to know that even without me, people from other regions will receive it. After all, with the existence of the transportation pearl, the distance isn't a problem at all." Just as everyone was discussing spiritedly, a loud voice suppressed everyone.
Everyone looked over and saw that Tu Kui walked out from the crowd and spoke to everyone.
No one said anything. Since even the mission required them to pay attention to the strength of the enemy, the other party's strength couldn't be underestimated. But with ten tribes surrounding them, how could five Ancestor Gods not be able to deal with one person?
Although the reward was frighteningly high, the corresponding risk was very low. It was like a benefit that made everyone restless.
But after he finished speaking, no one said anything, nor did they rush to be the first to take the mission.
This was because they also understood that if someone accepted this mission, the strongest five would be chosen. So it didn't matter who took the mission first. In any case, such a simple mission wouldn't be given to a village that wasn't strong enough.
Tu Kui saw that everyone was looking at him, his eyes filled with confidence. He then glanced at the wall and pressed down on the words below.
A mission like this had to be received from the wall. It wasn't like other simple missions that could be received directly from the yellow token.
But just as he placed his hand on it, a yellow light suddenly rose from it. Ying Long felt his body go numb. No matter how strong his strength was, it was imprisoned in his body.
Under everyone's shocked expressions, he was instantly sent flying and miserably fell to the ground.
"Puchi."
A chuckle broke the silence in the air.
"Who is laughing at me?!" Ying Long, who was still feeling numb, quickly got rid of the discomfort in his body when he regained control of his body. Only then did he stand up and roar.
"Silence."
A faint reprimand resounded in the air, making Ying Long, whose face was filled with anger, tremble. He revealed a trace of a smile on his face. After turning his head to look behind him, he suppressed his anger and used a normal tone to ask again.
"Who was the one laughing at me just now?!"
That irrepressible anger made it obvious that he was really angry.
But everyone's attention was attracted by him just now, so no one noticed.
Ying Long swept his gaze around, but he couldn't see who was the one laughing at him. Just when he was about to secretly endure it and think of a way to investigate it in the future, a figure directly stood up and admitted it.
"It's me, so what?!"
"Good, good, good. You really have guts. I will remember you." Ying Long was stunned. Seeing the look of indifference in the other party's eyes, rage filled his body and mind. It had been a long time since he showed off his power. Even someone dared to bully him. He stared straight at the other party.
The other party also stared back at him with a sneer, as though he didn't care about him at all.
Unfortunately, no matter what, he couldn't fight here. Otherwise, he would have let the other party know the price of laughing at him.
"What's going on? Lord Ying, why can't you accept the mission? "An Ancestor God asked Ying Long.
"The mission has been forcefully frozen by someone. How strange. I don't think anyone can accept it for the next two years." Ying Long was currently in a fit of anger, so he didn't have the time to bother with the other party. Instead, it was the people he had gathered with earlier who stepped forward to answer.
"How inconceivable. Who is the one who stepped forward to protect him? I've only heard of it, but this is the first time I've heard of it." Another companion clicked his tongue in wonder.
At this moment, the bloody words on the wall were covered by a layer of yellow light. It flickered as though the contents inside were blocked.
"This is great. For a period of time, this place will be occupied. If you want to accept the mission, you'll have to go to that stern old man. What a headache!" The first person said helplessly.
"Look! There's a new change on the wall. " All of a sudden, a person shouted again. This was because on the wall, a white mist appeared out of thin air again. After leaving behind a beautiful tail, it suddenly turned into the shape of a pen and pointed towards the red words. Layers of white ripples continuously undulated in the air.
The red words, which originally occupied most of the space, began to shrink slowly under the attack of the white mist. Finally, after occupying half of the space, it stopped retreating and firmly guarded its place.
This attracted everyone's attention. They didn't know what was going to happen. This kind of phenomenon was almost unheard of.
At this moment, the white pen began to write rapidly in the space where the red words had left off.
No matter who it was below, including Ying Long, they were all attracted by this phenomenon.
"Hiss, hiss …"
When everyone saw the words on the wall, the shock in their hearts was indescribable. Moreover, as the words appeared, they felt as though they were watching a battle between gods.
"District Reinforcement Order"
"Xi Feng Village"
"Half a year ago, the Ancestor God of Xi Feng Village killed a mutated inner demon in the east. This inner demon was very dangerous. Under his efforts to turn the tide, he beheaded the other party. Selflessly, in response to the arrest order, he invited the four Ancestor God tribes to protect Xi Feng Village."
Below it was also an unknown reward.
Looking at the two messages side by side, everyone was dumbfounded. Those who originally thought it was a benefit couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Such a blatant protection order was obviously issued by the South City.
The two sides were tit for tat, and the so-called arrest order was probably issued by the East City.
At this time, based on the information above, everyone could vaguely guess what had happened.
It was obvious that the Ancestor God of Xi Feng Village had discovered something unusual about the Ancestor God of the east. Then, he killed the other party's inner demon to prevent more damage. However, he broke into other areas for no reason and killed the Ancestor God. In the eyes of the East City, he was guilty, but in the eyes of the South City, he was definitely innocent.
Of course, if that Ancestor God hadn't been controlled by the inner demon, he probably wouldn't have issued the mission. If he killed another Ancestor God for no reason, he would be directly sentenced to death by the enforcers here.
That was why this scene had happened.
"No, this is clearly unfair to you!" Suddenly, a loud shout rang out in the air, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"We were talking about something else. Sorry, sorry!" With so many burning eyes looking over, Mi Fei wished he could slap his own mouth. How could he be so careless that he couldn't control himself?
"Could it be that you are the Ancestor God of Xi Feng Village?" Seeing Mi Fei like this, a few clever people probed. Talking about something else at this time was too fake an excuse.
Although Mi Fei wanted to say no for Gu Zheng, he couldn't do it himself. In addition, the fight between Gu Zheng and Tu Kui had let him know that the other party's personality was very strong. It was better for him not to act on his own initiative.
Sure enough, under Mi Fei's worried gaze, Gu Zheng took a step outside and said indifferently, "Don't worry.
"I am. What's the matter?"
It was really like a stone startling a thousand ripples. They never thought that the Ancestor God of Xi Feng Village would be here.
Many people looked at the calm face of Gu Zheng. No one would have thought that such a young person would be evaluated as powerful. It was truly out of everyone's expectations.
"Why don't you tell me what's wrong?" Gu Zheng ignored everyone's gazes and instead asked Mi Fei beside him.
"You have to know that this situation is almost the same as the chaotic battle above. However, Fellow Daoist Gu, have you thought about something? Although the wanted order and support order can ask for help from the five tribes, because of the island seizing battle not long ago, the people who hate you definitely outnumber the people who like you." Gu Zheng didn't want to reveal his identity, so Mi Fei didn't have any misgivings and directly said what he thought.
"What do you mean?" Gu Zheng was startled. He didn't understand what Mi Fei meant.
"What I mean is that you are very likely to be six tribes against twenty tribes." Mi Fei directly made his point clear.
Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows. After hearing Mi Fei's words and thinking about the meaning of the region above, he understood what Mi Fei wanted to say.
In the south, unless he didn't want to stay, there would definitely be five tribes standing up to help him. This was without a doubt. After all, Gu Zheng was someone the south city wanted to protect.
However, in the other four regions, this might not be the case. The most likely possibility was that in the other three regions, there would only be people opposing him. There wouldn't be anyone who would fight side by side with him.
This time, he would be facing a difficult and fierce battle.
"Unless you have more friends outside, this time is really dangerous. I feel that Fellow Daoist Gu should give up on your own tribe for the sake of your own safety." Even if Gu Zheng didn't want to listen, Mi Fei still said this sentence.
Compared to his life, giving up on his tribe was too easy. As long as he still had that core, if he wanted to rise again, he could lead his tribe to its current state again in a few thousand years.
The others also looked at Gu Zheng. They didn't know what this Ancestor God of Xi Feng Village was planning.
Was he going to compromise for his own life, or make a heroic sacrifice for meaningless face?
In their view, this had already angered the Ancestor Gods of most regions. He was already in a disadvantageous position. How should he choose?
"I will never give up on my tribe!"
