"So that's how it is? There's less than two months left. That's indeed troublesome. "He Sheng wasn't too surprised to hear Gu Zheng's words, only frowning a little.
After all, the current warriors were extremely valiant. As long as Gu Zheng still had that undying ability, even if the enemy came with ten times the number of warriors, they would still be confident in stopping them. After all, the number of warriors had increased, and their overall strength had increased.
After all, as long as they had a single breath left, they wouldn't have to worry about dying. This could indeed stimulate everyone's potential.
"Then I'll have to think it over. Young Master Gu, I'll take my leave first. Also, the newest batch of fragrant pearls has been specially stored away." He Sheng stood up and took his leave. This bit of time was enough for him to make some preparations. Before leaving, he suddenly said this to Gu Zheng.
Only Gu Zheng's group remained in the room, but Gu Zheng didn't take the initiative to speak. He was pondering something in his heart.
"Young Master Gu, are you really confident in stopping the enemy?" At this time, Qing Xuan, whose temperament was still somewhat lacking, spoke up. Mantian and Alder simultaneously looked over at the same time.
Although helping Gu Zheng was their original intention, there were some battles that they simply couldn't interfere in. At most, they could help wave the flag and shout battle cries, while conveniently bullying the subordinate gods on the other side.
On the one hand, if they followed Gu Zheng, then in the next Hegemonic Competition, if Gu Zheng left, they would have the qualifications to follow him out of this place.
To them, there were only advantages and no disadvantages. This was why they had been 'moved' by Mi Fei. At the very least, they would have some Joss Flames to replenish their strength.
On the other hand, they were gambling, but in their hearts, they didn't have enough confidence. After all, Gu Zheng's strength was only at the late stage of Jin Xian's. His shortcomings were indeed too obvious, especially when surrounded by so many ancestor gods.
But even so, they were willing to come because they had already 'seen through' the person behind Gu Zheng. It wasn't just them. Many shrewd people had also seen it. It was just that some of them weren't willing to believe that someone else would help him.
It was a pity that Gu Zheng didn't want those wandering ancestor gods who weren't strong enough.
Now, in the gambling matches, Gu Zheng's chances of winning were strangely rising very quickly. His chances of winning were almost fifty-fifty.
But in the end, only the three of them were recruited by Mi Fei.
"I know what you are worried about. I can tell you clearly that I will definitely participate in this competition." Gu Zheng did not directly answer their questions. Instead, he spoke with confidence.
This made them feel delighted. They had thought that Gu Zheng had great power and that there would definitely be people coming to help him, so they were not afraid of the arrest warrant.
Little did they know that Gu Zheng's confidence came from himself.
"Next, let's talk about the reward you want." Gu Zheng smiled and threw out the question they were most concerned about.
.....
At the same time, in the City of Hope, in a room, a figure stood in front of the window, looking at the people on the street. Because the room itself had a layer of barrier, the people outside could not see the situation inside.
At this moment, a person was standing respectfully on top of him, saying something to the figure in front of him.
Wisps of incense rose slowly from an incense burner. With a whiff of the faint fragrance, one could not help but calm down.
After a while, the person behind him finally closed his mouth and waited quietly.
After a long while, the figure at the window turned around and spoke indifferently.
"Are you sure what you saw is real? My High Priest. "
"Your Excellency Sea King, I can guarantee that I have personally examined His Highness' body. Although the Life Horn of our clan is gone, it has been replaced by a very strange thing. Moreover, the effect is more compatible with His Highness. If this continues, I can guarantee that His Highness' promotion to Jin Xian will be just around the corner!" the high priest said excitedly.
"I understand. In that case, gather everyone and come to the City of Hope. We'll arrange this matter, and then we'll leave this place immediately," the Sea King said resolutely.
"Then what about His Highness?" the high priest was stunned and hurriedly asked.
"Let him wander on his own. He also knows where his home is. He is already grown up and does not need me to control him. In the future, let him walk his own path." The Sea King's tone was somewhat sad, as if he was reluctant.
"I understand! Then I will take my leave. "The high priest nodded and left the room. He still had many things to do.
.....
Half a day later, Gu Zheng had separated from the three reinforcements. The other party did not ask for a sky-high price. In fact, the demand was very low. After both sides were satisfied with the price, the three went to rest. Naturally, someone would lead them to their resting place.
As for Gu Zheng, he did not go down to rest. Instead, he secretly gathered all the members at the Heavenly Immortal stage and above, including He Sheng. There was a manor at the back. Truth be told, this manor was built for Gu Zheng. It was extremely large and everyone gathered there.
Now, except for a few Sky Immortals who were still with Ren Jie, the rest were here. Basically, all the fighting force was here.
After everyone had put down what they were doing and came over, Gu Zheng looked down at the thousands of Heavenly Immortals there. This was double the number of Heavenly Immortals in the average tribe. Even for an average tribe, the number of experts in the tribe would be very small.
As far as he knew, Mi Fei's tribe only had about 200 Sky Immortals. When he first knew, he was really surprised. He did not expect there to be so few people.
"Where is Ziyi? Could it be that her injuries have not healed? " Gu Zheng remembered that Ziyi's injuries were not serious. This time, he specially went to invite her and told her about the situation here. If it was dangerous, she should leave.
"Her injuries have relapsed. She is probably still resting now!" He Sheng explained to Gu Zheng briefly so that he could understand Ziyi's situation.
"Alright, I will go and see her later!" Gu Zheng put Ziyi's matter aside and turned back to look at her.
Looking at the people below, although there were so many people, the whole place was quiet. Everyone was quietly looking at Gu Zheng. They did not know why Gu Zheng asked them to come here.
Gu Zheng did not say much. Like magic, he took out two small treasure chests.
The two treasure chests were only the size of a palm. Before anyone could see them clearly, the two treasure chests were thrown out by Gu Zheng. They expanded in the air and became huge chests that were as tall as a person's waist. They were also as long as several people lying down.
"He Sheng, you should understand everyone's situation!" Gu Zheng said to He Sheng who was beside him.
"En!" He Sheng nodded. He knew clearly what every Sky Immortal expert was good at. After all, when he had nothing to do, he would go down and talk to various people. It could be said that all his energy was focused on the village.
To be honest, his prestige in the village was about the same as Gu Zheng's. Fortunately, Gu Zheng did not care about this kind of thing at all. In fact, he was even looking forward to it. This way, he could be a shopkeeper who did not do anything and could take time to do more things.
"In that case, distribute the weapons below. These are the scraps of weapons and equipment I obtained from a previous mission. Although there isn't much, it should be enough to arm all of us," Gu Zheng didn't explain and directly gave the order.
He Sheng was confused. The weapons that were mentioned before, how did they become scrapped weapons?
However, he still went down and came in front of a chest. There were many patterns on it, making it hard for people to guess what was inside. Without much hesitation, he directly opened the huge treasure chest in front of him.
"Creak!"
As the treasure chest was slowly opened, a burst of bright light shone through the gap. A strong aura leaked out from inside, turning into a gust of wind that rose up from the ground, making everyone curious.
They had heard what Gu Zheng had said. Didn't that mean that there were precious weapons here? No matter how bad they were, they were still better than their ordinary weapons.
As the treasure chest was fully opened, everyone's breathing quickened. One after another, brand new weapons appeared in front of everyone, filling up the entire chest. Different lights reflected off each other inside, but they were casually placed here like trash. It was too much of a pity.
Even He Sheng was no exception. At a glance, there were at least seven to eight hundred weapons stacked on top of each other, all piled up inside. Then, he looked at the other side of the box and directly walked over, opening it again to present the contents in front of everyone.
It was almost the same as the previous chest, filled with all kinds of weapons.
He Sheng estimated in his heart. The value of these two chests was too high, so high that he didn't dare to imagine it.
One had to know that for this weapon of his, he had spent hundreds of years to save up.
This was not an ordinary weapon. In other words, they were all immortal weapons. For Heavenly Immortals like them, these were the most suitable weapons.
With these weapons, it could be said that they had exchanged shotguns for cannons. It could even be said that one against three wouldn't be a problem.
Looking at the fanatical expression in everyone's eyes, Gu Zheng nodded in satisfaction. These weapons were actually products that they were not satisfied with. To them, these weapons were scraps, but to Gu Zheng's subordinates, these were already considered luxurious items.
He didn't expect that the old man would be so generous, exchanging so many things for him. This indeed made Gu Zheng very satisfied.
However, it also made Gu Zheng very curious. Was that Soul-Devouring Beast really that powerful?
Because the Soul-Devouring Beast wanted to escape from there, Gu Zheng didn't know how much strength it used. He really didn't know its specific strength.
After thinking for a while, Gu Zheng directly nodded to He Sheng, who was looking at him, and let him distribute the weapons.
He Sheng immediately understood, and then shouted to the people behind him.
"Everyone, don't be in a hurry. Line up and receive your weapons one by one."
Those Heavenly Immortals quickly lined up like ordinary people and began to receive their weapons from He Sheng in an orderly manner.
Most of these weapons were sabers and swords. There were also some other weapons. As long as they took them back, warmed them a little, and engraved their own imprints, they would completely belong to them.
When everyone received their weapons, they would bow deeply to Gu Zheng to express their gratitude.
To be able to exchange weapons for all of them, there were probably not many Ancestral Gods who could do it. In other words, no one had ever done such a large-scale exchange of weapons. At most, they would take out a few weapons, and at most, a few dozen weapons.
Gu Zheng stood there and watched as everyone received their weapons, thanked him, and then left.
Originally, Gu Zheng wanted to leave this small matter to He Sheng and not get involved at all. However, He Sheng insisted on doing it himself. Only by doing so could these people feel even more grateful to Gu Zheng.
That was why Gu Zheng came here. Although Gu Zheng didn't really care about this kind of gratitude, when he thought of the extremely difficult battle that was about to come, he did want to give everyone more hope. Only then could they survive this battle with fewer casualties.
Half a day passed. As the last Heavenly Immortal left, only He Sheng and Gu Zheng were left.
"Young Master Gu, I have already left a set of weapons for Ren Jie and the others. However, there are still quite a few left." He Sheng came to Gu Zheng's side and said, pointing at the box below.
"Just keep the rest. If someone advances in the future or makes a great contribution, you can reward them. It doesn't have to be at the Heavenly Immortal stage. Also, show these things to everyone. Let them know that there will be rewards for those who make a contribution." Gu Zheng took out a bracelet and handed it to He Sheng.
Inside were not ordinary resources. They were all precious pills. There were also some magic treasures and weapons that Gu Zheng had discarded. They were not much stronger than the ones given out. This time, Gu Zheng could be said to have spent a lot of money.
However, all of this was part of his plan. He would just treat it as cleaning up the mess on his body. After all, he was useless.
After doing all this, there wasn't much to do. Thus, Gu Zheng returned to his manor and began to rest and meditate, adjusting his state of mind.
He had to prepare for the upcoming battle.
At the same time, the entire village began to move at high speed. Everyone sped up their movements.
Time passed little by little. In the various cities, some people were already rubbing their hands. Looking at the dimming light above, they were even more eager to give it a try.
No matter what everyone was thinking, they were all waiting. They were waiting for the protection time of the wanted order to come.
At this moment, under the witness of everyone, the yellow fog outside the wanted order that had been hanging on it for two years flashed for the last time. It directly turned into a cloud of smoke and dissipated.
At the same time, the reward that had been hidden below appeared in front of everyone once again.
In the West City, the person who had been waiting here for a long time stepped forward and quickly pressed on the top. This time, there was no obstruction. He directly slapped on the top. At the same time, a red light descended from the wall and turned into a stream of light that entered his body.
At the same time, under the wanted order, a blood-red dot appeared behind it, indicating that a person had accepted the wanted order.
Just as his figure descended from above, another figure rushed up.
The red dot on the top quickly reached twenty people in the blink of an eye.
There were more than five people in the East City who went to receive the reward. Unfortunately, if their strength did not surpass that of the previous people, the red light in their bodies would not be squeezed out. Once the red light disappeared, it meant that they had lost the opportunity to participate.
The ancestor gods of the five tribes that were more powerful in the East stood above and looked down at the people below. Although they did not say anything, the series of threats made everyone understand that whoever dared to go up to receive the support order would be going against them.
Due to the protection time, the support order and the wanted order would disappear after three days from the time it was opened. At that time, even if they wanted to participate, they would not be able to.
"Hehe, how can I miss out on such a magnificent feat!" While everyone was discussing, a few people came in from outside. When they saw the person at the front, they snorted coldly and said.
Although the voice was soft, it was clearly heard by everyone.
Everyone turned their heads to see who was mocking them. Their eyes were filled with shock. When they saw that person walking over, they all stepped aside to make a path.
"Tong Yan, if you want to join us, I can give up this position for you." When one of the people above saw him walking over, he thought that the other party also wanted to receive the wanted order and immediately said.
Anyway, the strength of his tribe was not as strong as the other party. If the other party really accepted the order, he, who was the weakest among the five, would definitely be squeezed out automatically. It was better to be tactful and voluntarily withdraw.
"No need. You and I don't have a conflict because I'm here to receive the support order!" Tong Yan walked to the side and smiled coldly at them. Then, he jumped up and slammed his hand on the white area.
"Tong Yan, what do you mean by this? Are you going against us? Or are you trying to betray the East City? I remember you lost a lot of things last time and even threatened to kill the other party. "One of the people here said with a gloomy face.
The other party was very strong, but the four of them here were not weaker than him. Moreover, he was slapping them in the face.
"If it was the first time the wanted order was issued, I would have killed the other party immediately after receiving the mission. But it's different now. I have no choice but to protect the other party." Tong Yan shrugged.
"You …" The person had just finished speaking when a hearty laugh sounded.
"I didn't think that there would be a day when you, Tong Yan, would be bought over. Hehe, looks like I'm a step too late. You've attracted all the attention." A muscular man appeared outside and walked over as he spoke.
"Qi Mufei, do you also want to go against us?" The other person who had received the arrest warrant had a bad premonition in his heart as he asked.
"What do you mean by going against you? Pang Li, don't slander me. I was asked by someone and had no choice but to come!" Qi Mufei shook his head as he walked over and also received the support order in front of everyone.
"Good, good. Looks like we haven't even come into contact with the enemy and this time, there's going to be a civil war." Pang Li said with a gloomy face.
"Actually, I think it's best if you put down the wanted order. That way, we won't be picking on anyone. It's not worth it for this little reward." Qi Mufei was still trying his best to persuade them.
"People who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Since you want to do this, we won't hold back." The person beside Pang Li said angrily.
"You're welcome to come. If you didn't come, we would have come looking for you. Alright, I won't talk nonsense with you. I'm not prepared for this sudden attack. I'll go back and wait for your arrival." Qi Mufei couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with them and left in a hurry.
"He said what I said. I just want to say one thing. Be careful of your hometown. Let's go!" Tong Yan also left behind a sentence and left with his people.
Although they had only been here for a short while, the shock they brought to everyone was huge.
"Look up!" Someone pointed at the wall and said.
At this moment, behind the wanted order, the twenty red dots had all arrived.
The number of white dots behind the support order had also increased to ten. It wasn't as overwhelming as they had imagined.
