Gu Zheng and the other three retreated from there and walked to a slightly more spacious area. Qing Xuan then said to Gu Zheng.
"Young Master Gu, what do we do next? We don't even know where they are. You must know that the central area is very big. How are we going to find them? "
If they really wanted to search one by one, not to mention whether they could find them, they wouldn't even have enough time.
"I don't know. Let's find a place to stay first. I'll find someone to ask around." Gu Zheng suddenly thought of the Sea God. He didn't know if he was in this place. Maybe he could ask him.
Qing Xuan and the others didn't have any other ideas. Seeing Gu Zheng say so, they left together.
"Hey, it's you. Why are you here?" Gu Zheng and the others were walking. Suddenly, Gu Zheng felt his shoulder being heavily patted by someone. His whole body staggered and almost fell down.
Gu Zheng turned around angrily and found that it was the old man who gave him the mission in South City.
"Hehe, I forgot. You guys are restricted here. It's my fault. Be careful next time." Looking at Gu Zheng's painful face, the old man said embarrassedly.
"It's okay. I wanted to find you to take some missions last time, but you disappeared." The anger on Gu Zheng's face quickly disappeared and he complained to the old man.
"I happened to be busy at that time. I haven't congratulated you on winning the final victory." The old man smiled and looked at the people behind Gu Zheng.
"Are you here to choose an address? Why do you look unhappy? Why didn't you find a good place? Do you want me to help you choose one? "
Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat. This old man clearly had a very high level of authority. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that he could change his location. Gu Zheng really didn't know what this old man was doing. Although this was what he thought, he still said it out loud.
"No need. Our location has been taken. Now we have to find a way to find the other party's location and take it back."
"Oh, why do you say that? I remember that you guys haven't been up there before. How could the location be taken away?" The old man said with interest.
"It's because of what happened in Xifeng Village!" Gu Zheng hurriedly explained his troubles.
"So that's how it is. Take out that small ball and let me have a look. This is very strange. Why haven't I heard of it before?" The old man stretched out his hand towards Gu Zheng. His meaning was obvious.
Gu Zheng had the same idea, so he immediately took it out and handed it over.
The old man took it and looked at it thoughtfully. After a long time, he raised his head.
"Wait for me. I'll go and take a look for you. When did this happen?" The old man said to Gu Zheng, then walked inside. After a few turns, he could no longer be seen.
"Young Master Gu, who is that person? Aren't you afraid that he will take away your things?" Alder asked in puzzlement. It seemed that Gu Zheng trusted that person too much.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Let's go out first." Gu Zheng wasn't worried that the old man would be greedy for his things. Although they hadn't interacted much, he knew a little about the old man's character. Just based on the things he gave him, he owed the old man a lot.
The four of them didn't stay in the main hall for long. They went to the square outside and prepared to wait for the old man.
"Young Master Gu, look. Someone is walking towards us," Man Tian, who was behind him, said softly after finding a place to stop.
Following his gaze, he saw two very ordinary-looking people walking towards him.
The two of them didn't look young. Their faces were filled with the hardships of life. They didn't have the sharp aura they used to have. They looked like two ordinary people.
Seeing that Gu Zheng and the others were paying attention to them, they didn't continue to hide and walked towards them.
"The two of you, we don't seem to know you. What business do you have with us?" Gu Zheng looked at the two people standing on his side. Their cultivation wasn't low. They were both at the late stage of Jin Xian.
The two men looked at each other. In the end, it was the slightly older man on the right who spoke.
"May I ask if you are Gu Zheng, Young Master Gu? Our master would like to invite Young Master Gu for a meeting. Do you have the time?"
"Who is your master? He asked Young Master Gu to go and you went. Besides, you didn't say anything. You were acting so sneakily. One look and I can tell that there's something fishy going on." Before Gu Zheng could speak, Lu Mu stepped forward and shouted.
His sturdy body, coupled with his fiendish expression, did indeed look intimidating. The two men's lips moved a few times, but no words came out.
"If you want to see Young Master Gu, get your so-called master to come here personally. Hurry up and leave!" Lu Mu continued to shout at the two of them.
When the two of them heard this, they actually left with their tails between their legs. It was beyond their expectations.
"Two lunatics. Why are they so cowardly?" Lu Mu looked at the backs of the two of them and said with some confusion. Could it be that his strength had increased again? Or did he look so scary? How could he let the two of them leave so easily? But why didn't he know?
"The two of them have lost their spirit. They are no different from walking corpses. Maybe they have suffered some other misfortune!" Gu Zheng explained.
Although the two of them had high cultivation, if they were to fight, they might not even be able to defeat a mid-stage Jin Xian. They were completely useless.
The three of them were discussing what the two of them were trying to do. Gu Zheng quietly closed his eyes and rested. He hoped that the old man could find that place. Otherwise, he would have a headache.
After all, he only knew that the Sea King was here. He didn't know how to find him in this vast sea of people. If he had known, he would have asked Hai Ming if there was a way to find him.
However, he didn't expect that even here, he couldn't find the location of the stone. This was a little strange. Everything here was controlled by the person in charge here. How could such an uncontrollable thing happen?
While he was letting his imagination run wild, on the other side of the square, a middle-aged man wearing a small mink hat and a gray Taoist robe appeared in front of him.
Looking at the other party's path and eyes, it was obvious that he was coming towards him. Even the three of them stopped talking and stared at the Taoist.
Gu Zheng was absolutely sure that the other party was coming for him.
Sure enough, the other party had a smile on his face. He quickly came in front of Gu Zheng and smiled at him.
"Young Master Gu, my two subordinates didn't know how to speak just now. I have already punished them. I am here to apologize in person!"
It seemed that the main character was here. As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling person. Gu Zheng didn't know the other party's intention. He thought for a while and didn't reject the other party.
"May I know why you are looking for me?"
"This is not the place to talk. If you don't mind, I can prepare some good wine and dishes in the restaurant in front. Why don't we talk while eating? What do you think?" The Taoist said with a smile, full of enthusiasm.
"There is no need to eat. If you have something to say, just say it. I have something to do later." Gu Zheng looked straight into his eyes and said faintly. His tone was full of rejection.
"Since Young Master Gu has something to do, there is no harm in talking here." The Taoist's face stiffened, but he immediately smiled again.
"We want something in Young Master Gu's hands. As long as you say it, as long as we can do it, we will definitely fulfill your wish."
"What do you want to say? Don't dawdle. Bitch, you are so annoying!" Alder said casually.
"Why did you come forward? Didn't you see that Young Master Gu didn't say anything?" Qing Xuan immediately pulled Alder back and reprimanded him.
"What do you want? I don't think I have anything on me that is worth your effort!" Gu Zheng said calmly. After thinking about it, he didn't seem to have anything worth looking forward to. Could it be the Nine Dragons Shield?
"Young Master Gu, don't joke around. I will say it directly. What do you want in order to give us that thing in Xifeng Village?" The Taoist's words exploded Gu Zheng's thoughts.
"Who are you?" Gu Zheng's eyes suddenly became sharp and stared at the other party. Almost no one knew about this. Even Qing Xuan and the others only knew about it a moment ago. It was Gu Zheng who told them.
"I know why Young Master Gu wants to come up here. If you are willing to give it to us, then we will immediately offer you a few treasures that can allow you to leave here directly. We will not delay Gu Zheng's great undertaking. What do you think?" The Taoist seemed to know everything about Gu Zheng and immediately put forward a tempting condition.
"Even if Young Master Gu doesn't want to leave, we can rebuild the village. We know that Young Master Gu doesn't lack anything. We will also offer you countless supplies for you to play around. We will definitely help you if you need anything."
At this moment, Gu Zheng was really tempted. He spent so much effort just to leave here.
Unfortunately, if the other party had come when he had just arrived, he would have agreed without any hesitation and would have left a lot of supplies for Xi Feng Village.
But now, he had already promised the villagers of Xifeng Village and promised He Sheng's expectations. He couldn't abandon his oath.
Although he would give up some things for the sake of some interests, in his heart, he wouldn't give up and not do it because he had promised others. He would go back on his words.
He had to do what he said, especially to his friends.
In the Taoist's opinion, the other party would definitely agree to his conditions. After all, he already knew Gu Zheng's wish. He wanted to leave as soon as possible to do something. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so eager to rise.
If you want to hit a snake, you have to hit it where it hurts. He had already seen his weakness and took out all the treasures in order to escape. But no matter what, as long as Gu Zheng agreed, he would definitely leave.
As for what would happen to these aborigines, they didn't care at all. Their original plan was almost completed. After a few hundred years, when the original Xifeng Village completely disappeared, they would be able to completely occupy it. At that time, they wouldn't even have to hide the location.
In the end, they didn't expect that someone would interfere. Not only did it completely disrupt their plans, but he also ran up to them in such a short time. Some of their people couldn't even stop him.
"How about it? If it's possible, I can immediately provide a treasure for one person to leave in order to express my sincerity." The Taoist's face became brighter and brighter as he said to Gu Zheng.
"I'm not willing!" Gu Zheng looked at the other party's urging. It was as if he was certain, and his heart was filled with great disgust. He had to make his own decisions, so he replied coldly.
"Since you've agreed, Young Master Gu, how about you come back with me to get it? Don't worry, it's in this city," the Taoist immediately said.
"Are you stupid? Didn't you hear that my Young Master rejected you? Why are you still talking big here?" Seeing that the other party was still immersed in his own thoughts, Alder couldn't hold back his temper and shouted again. At the same time, he stepped forward and lightly pushed the other party's shoulder.
"What did you say? You actually didn't agree? For this thing, you're going to oppose over a hundred ancestor gods of our Freedom Alliance? Are you stupid?!" The Daoist completely ignored the alder tree. His body was pushed back a few steps by the alder tree. He looked at Gu Zheng and said in disbelief.
The shock in his heart made him unable to maintain his composure. He even almost pointed at Gu Zheng's head.
Gu Zheng stepped forward and looked into the Taoist's eyes. His voice was filled with bone-chilling coldness as he said, "Of course I won't agree. So you're from the Freedom Alliance. I haven't settled the score with you for detaining my friend last time. This time, it seems that we can settle old and new scores together."
"If you know what's good for you, obediently give up this place, and hand over the person who bullied my friend, I can consider the meaning of your existence!"
"Hahaha!" When the Taoist heard all kinds of threats, he burst into laughter. "Did I hear wrongly?! You actually dare to threaten us? This is too funny! "
The Taoist laughed so hard that even tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. He bent over laughing as if he had heard the world's best joke.
Gu Zheng looked at him coldly, raising his hand to stop the alder tree behind him from moving forward.
"Young Master Gu, look at him. He's like a fool. Let me chase him away!" Alder said to Gu Zheng.
"No need. Like you said, there's no need to be like a fool." Gu Zheng snorted as he looked at the Taoist in front of him who was laughing maniacally.
Even many people in the distance looked over. Who asked this Taoist to be so exaggerated?
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the Taoist slowly recovered.
"Are you sure you want to make an enemy of us? We came here with sincerity to ask for your advice. Is it worth it for these lowly commoners? "the Taoist said in a low voice. The smile on his face had completely disappeared.
"It's not that I want to make an enemy of you. If you're willing to give up this place and hand over the person, as long as it's something I can do, I can help you," Gu Zheng said with a shrug, ignoring the Taoist's dead-fish face.
"In that case, don't blame us for being impolite." The Taoist dropped his pretense and said coldly.
"Don't worry. I'll naturally come to ask for advice. A mere hundred Ancestral Gods are nothing in my eyes." Gu Zheng said casually as if he was speaking the truth.
"You seem to be really arrogant. A mere hundred Ancestral Gods. You seem really arrogant. I'm looking forward to you finding us." The Taoist did not even say anything superficial.
"You can't hide for long. Please tell your superiors to wait for me to come over." Gu Zheng said without any trace of politeness.
"Don't worry, I'll deliver your original words. You probably won't be able to wait for that day to come. You'll disappear from the world. Good luck!" The Taoist priest left after saying this and left directly.
When the Taoist's figure had completely left this place, Gu Zheng said to Alder.
"Are you sure you've arranged it?"
"Don't worry, Young Master Gu. No one can discover that little thing. As long as the Taoist comes in contact with anyone, it can be transmitted. However, it can't be more than nine people. Otherwise, there won't be enough energy." Alder shook his head and said.
When he retreated to the Taoist just now, it turned out that he had placed a tracking device on the Taoist.
"Big Brother Alder, you're amazing. You reacted so quickly." Man Tian said with admiration.
"Hehe, I didn't react. It was Young Master Gu who told me to do so." Although the thing was his, it was Gu Zheng who had asked him to do so.
Instantly, Man Tian looked at Gu Zheng. He felt that it would be better for him to learn more from Gu Zheng. Why didn't he think of it?
"Nine people? That's enough. After the Taoist returns, he will certainly find someone to pass the message. At that time, it will be a good opportunity for us. We'll get whatever we lack. With the Taoist leading the way, we'll definitely find the Taoist's place this time. "Gu Zheng sneered.
"The Taoist certainly didn't think of this. This is Young Master Gu's opportunity." Qing Xuan said with satisfaction.
At first, he was really afraid that Gu Zheng would agree to the Taoist's suggestion. After all, for Gu Zheng, there were only benefits and no harm. If that was the case, their idea of taking a ride would be shattered.
Everyone praised Gu Zheng one after another.
"Hey, although he is indeed very powerful, it's not very good for you to praise him like this." As they were talking, a voice sounded beside them.
Everyone opened their eyes and looked. It turned out that the old man had returned. They didn't even know that he had come to their side.
"Old Master, you come and go without a trace. You can really scare people to death when you suddenly appear." Gu Zheng deliberately said while covering his chest with his hand.
"If I can scare you to death, the sky will collapse." The old man laughed, but then his face became serious and said to Gu Zheng.
"That's right, I've already looked into the matter you asked me to look into. Unfortunately, we couldn't find this location. Later on, I checked and found that the Taoist must have paid a huge price to exchange for a Concealment Jade Stone to hide their location. Therefore, unless you find them face to face, you won't be able to find them from the map." The old man said with some regret.
Hearing this, Gu Zheng knew why they couldn't find the Taoist. They were really generous to be able to exchange for a Concealment Jade Stone. That was an item second only to the Innate Treasure. Although the price difference between the two was dozens of times, it was still the best batch of materials with excellent effects.
It was a magical item that was said to be able to hide from the eyes of a Quasi-Sage. However, even if the Taoist used it on their own territory, it was more than enough to shield them from detection.
Seeing Gu Zheng's disappointed expression, the old man comforted him.
"It's not all bad news. At least, I brought you something. Take a look!"
After saying this, the old man took out a dim silver needle. It was only the size of a little finger.
"I know you want to take back the territory of Xifeng Village. Coincidentally, I left this little thing behind. You can use it."
Saying this, he handed the silver needle to Gu Zheng.
