When the purple crystal core flew to a certain height, it stopped climbing and started to rotate on the spot.
At the same time, countless purple lights shone from it, turning half of the sky into a strange purple color.
What caught Gu Zheng's attention was that in the sky, on the golden shield, countless golden lights struck above the crystal core and condensed into a ray of light. When the light reached its peak, it instantly struck the crystal core.
However, the scene that Gu Zheng was worried about did not happen. Instead, the purple crystal core sucked in all the golden lights like a whale sucking in water.
No matter how many golden lights there were, the tiny crystal core absorbed them all without any change. The golden lights that filled the sky seemed to be endless as they continuously poured into the crystal core.
Half a day passed. Gu Zheng stood below and still looked up. However, he could feel that the strength of the shield was slowly decreasing. He could not help but guess that this phenomenon should be because the Soul-devouring Beast was gone. There was no need for this space to be separated. Naturally, this barrier to prevent the Soul-devouring Beast would be useless.
All the golden lights poured into the purple crystal core could form a second suppression to ensure that the Soul-devouring Beast would never escape from it.
While waiting, Little Monkey and Old Bird also walked up from below.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Gu. I misunderstood you!" Old Bird said with some shame as soon as he came up.
After Little Monkey's explanation, Old Bird knew that not long after Gu Zheng went out for the second time, Little Monkey was controlled by the Soul-devouring Beast. Then, Little Monkey was knocked unconscious and hid.
The Soul-devouring Beast read all of Little Monkey's memories and pretended to be Little Monkey. It lurked here, so Old Bird did not notice Little Monkey's abnormality. After all, the time was too short.
And the ultimate goal was to leave this place through Gu Zheng's teleportation token.
However, without its control, the Soul-devouring Beast, which only had its body and a wisp of soul left, was killed by Gu Zheng so easily. This attracted Gu Zheng's attention.
"It's okay. In the end, there were no casualties and it was already dead." Gu Zheng waved his hand and shifted his gaze from the sky to them.
"But our security is very tight. How did they find and replace me?" Little Monkey asked, puzzled.
"It will appear on your treasures that are suppressing the surroundings. Through them, it will be able to come to your body. After all, it is connected to your mind. It is too simple. After all, it has been polluted quite a bit before." Gu Zheng said casually. For the Soul Devouring Beast, it was too simple.
At this moment, a loud sound suddenly came from the sky, attracting their attention.
On the huge golden barrier, a clear crack appeared in the air, and it was still spreading.
"We're going out!" The old bird looked at the sky and muttered to himself.
Half a month later, this group of demons who had suffered a lot finally arrived at a nearby village. They would temporarily rest here, and when the time came, someone would naturally take them away. Gu Zheng was also preparing to leave this place.
He didn't expect this mission to take up so much of his time. He should have left the moment the golden barrier shattered.
It was a pity that Little Monkey and Old Bird wanted to follow him no matter what. They didn't want anything, even being a gatekeeper was fine.
Even if Gu Zheng told them that he was besieged, the two of them still wanted to follow Gu Zheng.
After all, Gu Zheng's strength had completely convinced them. Whether it was fighting strength or other things, they felt that Gu Zheng would definitely be able to break through the situation that he was facing.
This only took up half a month's time. After all, he had to put these people in a safe place. The rest of the matter didn't need to be asked by him.
Not only the two of them, but there were also a few demons at the Celestial Immortal Realm who wanted to follow Gu Zheng. They swore to follow Gu Zheng because Gu Zheng had helped them take revenge.
They were the subordinates of the corpse in the well. They were very grateful to Gu Zheng for taking revenge for them. They decided to follow Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng thought about it and accepted it completely. Anyway, there were already many demons in his tribe. It didn't matter if there were a few more. Anyway, he could take them all with him.
After Gu Zheng took out the token and activated it, a small teleportation door that only a few people could pass through appeared in front of them. It was enough for them to leave this place together.
Gu Zheng looked at the few people behind him and then walked in. His vision blurred and he found that he was already outside the South City. The side was where the camps were.
Then, not far from him, Old Monkey and the others' figures appeared one by one.
"It's been a long time since I've been here." Old Bird sighed.
They used to wander in the south, so they were naturally very familiar with the South City.
"Okay, let's go. Little Monkey, you stay here and watch. We'll come and find you later." Gu Zheng saw that they had all arrived and arranged.
Although there were no rules in the South City, except for the ancestor god, people below the Celestial Immortal Realm were generally not allowed to enter. Even if they were at the Celestial Immortal Realm, they could only enter with the help of their ancestor god.
Little Monkey nodded and led the demons outside. Because they were from the west, if no one was watching, it was easy to cause misunderstandings.
Gu Zheng led Old Bird in and soon arrived at the entrance of the main hall. The moment he entered, he saw Mi Fei standing to the side, talking eloquently to someone.
That person had an impatient look on his face, but he was embarrassed. He could only endure and continue listening.
It was none other than Mi Fei. Seeing that he was seriously explaining to someone, even though he knew that the other party would not agree, for the sake of that slim chance, he had to finish talking.
"This guy is really something. He's been here for two years, hasn't he? He's been trying to recruit people for that person on the wanted list. I wonder what kind of relationship he has for him to work so hard." As Gu Zheng walked towards Mi Fei, he heard the conversation of the other ancestor gods.
"Yeah, as long as it's a wandering ancestor god, they've all been harassed by him."
Hearing this, Gu Zheng's heart was filled with emotion. To be honest, he had only met him once. They didn't have much of a relationship, but the other party had done so much for him. He was actually trying to recruit people here.
"Don't worry, we definitely can't miss out on this opportunity." Mi Fei finally stopped talking and said one last sentence.
"I know. I'll definitely consider it. I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first!" Seeing that Mi Fei had stopped talking, the ancestor god hurriedly said.
After saying that, he headed outside. He moved so quickly that it felt like he was fleeing.
Mi Fei wasn't disappointed. In any case, he was already used to it. Sweeping his gaze across the main hall, he wanted to find another wandering ancestor god who hadn't mentioned him before. However, he suddenly heard a voice behind him, causing him to turn around.
"Mi Fei, you're really here to recruit people!"
"Young master Gu, you've returned?" Mi Fei said in pleasant surprise. "Why were you gone for so long this time? If it weren't for your wanted list, I would have suspected that you were already dead."
If the person was dead, the wanted list would naturally lose its effect.
"It's a long story. Let's not talk about it first. Why are you still here to recruit people? I thought you were joking with me." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Of course I have to do what I said. Besides, I really did find a few people for you. However, they're not here. Wait for me here. I'll call them over for you." Mi Fei said excitedly. Without waiting for Gu Zheng's reply, he left in high spirits.
Gu Zheng couldn't do anything about it. However, Mi Fei must have done his best. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to find so many helpers, and not just one. He was also very puzzled as to who would be willing to come to such a dangerous place.
Did they really think that there was no danger? There really was danger!
However, since they were willing to come, Gu Zheng would take a look first. First, he had to hand in the mission.
Leaving Old Bird here, Gu Zheng walked towards the innermost area.
At this time, he discovered that there were quite a few people who had accepted the mission, but not a single person had gone to the black-robed old man.
When he reached the innermost area, the old man was still the same as when Gu Zheng had left. He was lying there with his eyes closed. Compared to the busy people around him, he was very relaxed. Even Gu Zheng wondered if he had come here for a vacation.
"Senior, I've already completed the mission." Gu Zheng stood in front of him and said.
However, the sloppy old man didn't seem to hear him. He was still lying there without moving. Listening carefully, Gu Zheng could actually hear a low snoring sound, which made Gu Zheng speechless.
Ding ling ding ling.
Gu Zheng took out a crystal and tossed it in front of him. With a slight roll, it made a strange sound as it rubbed against the jade table.
Although the sound was soft, it was more effective than Gu Zheng's words. After the crystal rolled twice, the old man quickly sat up. Even Gu Zheng couldn't see clearly that the crystal was already in the old man's hand.
"Good, good. It really exceeded my expectations. You actually eliminated the Soul-Devouring Beast. You are indeed a wanted person." The old man looked at the crystal in his hand and praised.
However, this made Gu Zheng's face turn black. Could it be that if he wasn't on the wanted list, he couldn't prove his strength?
"I've completed the quest. Just convert the reward into points," Gu Zheng said with a grumpy tone.
"Of course, your request is fine. However, I suggest that you arm your village. You should know that if you win the final victory, you will also have a huge reward of points. You can't exchange it for anything." The old man looked carefully at the crystal in his hand and put it away with satisfaction. Hearing Gu Zheng's request, he was in a good mood.
"Then senior, what do you suggest?" Gu Zheng looked at the old man who was full of joy. He knew that the old man didn't say these words for no reason.
"Cough cough, my suggestion is to buy a batch of good weapons and magic treasures to equip the Heavenly Immortals of your village. After all, these things are sometimes more important than cultivation." The old man looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them, so he said softly.
"I know. However, we don't have much time now. Those points can't be exchanged for much." How could Gu Zheng not know? Although it seemed like a huge amount of points, it could only be exchanged for 20 weapons. For their huge population, it was like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. They might as well exchange it for something else.
"Of course I know. However, you have completed a mission that was basically impossible. You should know that the West City sent two Jin Xian peak experts over. In the end, one died and the other escaped. I didn't expect you to complete it. You have really given us a lot of face." The old man said with an oily face. It seemed that completing this mission was of great significance to him.
"I remember that the last time such a person appeared in our South was more than 100,000 years ago. However, I just happen to have a batch of things that are about to be scrapped. If you are willing to give up the reward for this mission, I will give them all to you." The old man smiled and suggested to Gu Zheng.
"Since senior is in trouble, I will help senior deal with these scrapped things." Gu Zheng immediately said. How could he not understand the meaning behind the old man's words?
"Interesting, interesting! Take this and go to the grocery store. He will naturally know. " The old man clapped his hands and laughed. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared in front of Gu Zheng. In front of him was a round thing that looked like a coin. There was only a simple flower-like pattern on it.
Gu Zheng held it in his hand. He didn't know what it was made of. He wanted to ask some questions, but the old man disappeared. Shaking his head, he decided to take it back.
Now that the reward was gone, he didn't know what these scrapped things were. He hoped that the old man didn't cheat him. These were worth 500,000 points. Even his tribe didn't have that many points.
"Young Master Gu, did everything go smoothly?" Old Niao saw Gu Zheng walk back in a daze and felt that something was wrong.
"It's fine! Let's go over there first. "Gu Zheng waved his hand and led Old Niao to the grocery store.
As soon as Gu Zheng left, Mi Fei excitedly brought three people over. These three were all peak existences in the Jin Xian.
"Fellow Daoist Gu just came here. Let me introduce him to you. He must be very happy. Eh? Where is he?"
The result left Mi Fei dumbfounded. Gu Zheng, who had been here just a moment ago, was now nowhere to be seen.
"I say, Fellow Daoist Mi, are you sure you didn't see wrong? There doesn't seem to be any Young Master Gu here." One of the brawny men wearing beast skin clothes said in a rough voice.
"That's right. We relied on Young Master Gu's grace and specially came to him. Didn't you tell him? We've been waiting for him here. "A valiant woman with two swords on her back said.
"How can such a heroic person be so condescending? What a disappointment. " The last person was actually a boy about 14 years old. He raised his head and said unhappily.
Although he was small, it was only his height and appearance. His iron cultivation couldn't be faked.
"No, he just came back to hand in his mission. Perhaps he saw that we didn't come over and went to buy some things. You also know that the protection period of the wanted order is about to end. Those who are smart should have already made preparations. Time is a race for him." Mi Fei hurriedly explained.
Although this wasn't perfect, it gave the three of them a way out.
However, they didn't have to wait for long before Gu Zheng walked in through the door. Mi Fei, who had been looking at the door for a long time, shouted in joy when he saw Gu Zheng.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, over here!"
Every minute and second of waiting was so unbearable.
Gu Zheng walked over with a smile. He was about to leave to look for Little Monkey. If not for Old Bird's reminder, he would have forgotten.
Seeing Mi Fei so excited, the three of them knew that the main character had arrived. They turned their heads in unison. This was also their first time seeing Gu Zheng. They had only heard of his name before.
"My three friends, I'm Gu Zheng. Thank you for supporting me during this special time." Gu Zheng came in front of the three of them and waved at them.
To be honest, the appearance of the three of them was beyond Gu Zheng's expectations. After all, he didn't think that anyone would get involved in this mess.
"I'm Qing Xuan. There's no such thing as helping or not helping. I just don't care about the faces of the East. I helped them and got hit back." The woman said straightforwardly.
"I'm Alder. Other than knowing how to fight, I don't know anything else. I won't hide in a place for the sake of survival. If that's the case, I might as well die." The wild man stretched out his strong arm and said with a chuckle.
"Just call me Man Tian. I just don't like what some people say and want to prove myself!" Man Tian raised his head and said, then lowered it again.
"Since everyone knows each other, I'm relieved. You guys continue chatting. I still have things to do in the village, so I'll go back first." Mi Fei said from the side.
"Thank you!" Gu Zheng said sincerely.
"Hehe, it's fine. I have nothing to do anyway. I'll take my leave first!" Mi Fei said and left.
"We're just about to go back. Let's leave together!" Gu Zheng invited the three of them.
"My pleasure!" Qing Xuan took the lead and said. The other two nodded silently.
They had been waiting here all along, waiting for Gu Zheng.
"Let's go! There's a companion outside. " Gu Zheng glanced at the wall above. At this moment, the yellow light on the wanted poster was growing dimmer and dimmer. Below the support poster, there were already five supporters. However, even Gu Zheng didn't know who was supporting him.
The four of them hurried outside. There was less than half a year left until the wanted poster could be collected. They didn't know when the other party would come. The only good thing was that the wanted poster had a time limit and didn't end with the destruction of their tribe.
If Gu Zheng's tribe was still alive within twenty years, then the wanted poster would naturally be removed.
However, no one believed that Gu Zheng would be able to hold on until then.
However, there was another outcome. If the ancestor god on the wanted poster died, or if they disbanded their tribe and admitted defeat, then the wanted poster would naturally lose effect.
Only the top twenty strongest people were allowed to take the poster. Even if a tribe with only a few tens of thousands of people took the poster, the strongest would be chosen. Unless the entire tribe was on the same scale, it was best not to join in the fun. It was the same for supporting tribes.
However, if there weren't enough people, then any tribe could collect the poster.
This was what Old Bird had told Gu Zheng. He had been here for so many years. Even if he hadn't seen anything, he knew many things. Mi Fei's explanation was even clearer, including the matters of the upper echelons.
Gu Zheng didn't dare say that he understood everything about this place, but he was already no different from the thousands of people here.
Soon, the four of them left the southern part of the city. However, they discovered that the little monkey wasn't where they had been. They looked over, but there was no trace of him.
"Over there!" Old Bird sensed for a moment and pointed to the left.
At this moment, a commotion came from the left.
