As soon as he said that, the people around the general all laughed. One of them stepped forward and laughed loudly.
"Are you going to kowtow to us and let us die of shame?"
"Haha!" Hearing their own people's ridicule, the group of people laughed even harder. Even the general couldn't help but smile.
Gu Zheng stopped the indignant people behind him. There was no change in his expression. The person who came out to provoke them was none other than Daoist Qi, whom he had followed before.
"Just lead the way for us. Do you think that we will thank you again if you say another word?"
"This … you actually followed me here!" Daoist Qi was shocked and angry. He turned around and saw that his companions were looking at him with unfriendly eyes. If they weren't facing enemies, he would have been cursed a lot.
"Hurry up and go back!" The general glared at Daoist Qi and the smile on his face disappeared. He said to Daoist Qi in a gloomy voice.
Daoist Qi saw this and shrank his neck. He was about to return to the crowd when he suddenly heard Gu Zheng chuckle.
"Since you have the courage to stand out, you will have to pay the price! Do you know that the bird that sticks out will be beaten? "
Gu Zheng raised his hand and a yellow light appeared in his palm. When he saw that everyone was looking at him, he clenched his fist. Suddenly, the yellow light splashed in all directions like a broken egg.
However, other than that, there was no threat at all. It was as funny as a firework. The people around the general wanted to laugh at him, but they suddenly heard a painful groan.
Daoist Qi's face immediately flushed red. His face squeezed together as if he was enduring something. In the end, he couldn't bear it and spat out a mouthful of blood. It was a shocking sight.
Daoist Qi's aura quickly withered as if he had been seriously injured. His whole body swayed in the air as he pointed at Gu Zheng in horror.
"You … you …"
However, before he could finish his words, his eyes rolled back and he fainted. One of his team members quickly rushed forward and caught him. Otherwise, he would have fallen to the ground.
Gu Zheng's move had frightened everyone, because they didn't know how Gu Zheng had managed to injure an opponent of the same level as him with just one move. This kind of technique had already surpassed Jin Xian's realm.
Multicolored lights instantly rose up, as if this was the only way to offset the fear in his heart. Even the general's eyes flashed with a trace of fear, because he didn't know how the other party did it!
"What sorcery is this?" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted. His tone revealed his bewilderment. He really wanted to know what kind of method this was.
"You want to know? Why don't you experience it for yourself? "Gu Zheng's eyes instantly looked towards the crowd, as though he could see someone hiding in the crowd asking him a question.
He stretched out his hand, and a yellow mist appeared in a flash. Before anyone could react, the yellow mist was crushed in his palm.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the yellow mist once again scattered in all directions. However, the crowd all turned to look at the person who had spoken just now.
This time, this person was even more unbearable. In an instant, he directly swallowed a mouthful of blood and fainted. There was a kind of panic in the general's crowd, and a person beside him subconsciously shouted.
"He's fainted!"
The person beside him saw clearly that the moment the yellow mist dissipated, the person suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Even his face, eyes, and ears were bleeding.
Seeing this, the general immediately shouted to the crowd.
"Let's retreat first!"
They didn't have to figure out Gu Zheng's attack. However, this would cripple their combat strength. Not to mention, this would reduce their combat strength by one.
Just as the general's voice fell, a very large ripple flashed again. The general took the lead to retreat. To be honest, facing such a strange attack, he was also a little worried.
It was really too strange!
"Want to leave in one piece? No way! " Gu Zheng saw the other party running away and shouted loudly. Between his two hands, balls of yellow mist appeared in a flash, and he crushed them one by one.
In the crowd, more than a dozen people suddenly spat out blood, but they were still pulled away by their own people and left outside.
Looking at the empty scene, Full Sky behind him closed his mouth, which had been left open due to his shock, and said with admiration.
"Young Master Gu, you're too powerful. In the blink of an eye, you completely crippled more than a dozen people! If the other party was a little later, I'm afraid you could have eliminated them alone. "
Qing Xuan also knew why Gu Zheng was so confident. He didn't even put the other party in his eyes. He could almost eliminate the other party by himself.
"He's simply too invincible. We just need to hold the line!" Xing Xing said dryly when he saw this scene.
It seemed that Xing Cai's friend was a little too strong.
"Don't be happy too early. The effect of this move on the enemy isn't as strong as imagined. Moreover, it's not effective on all of them." Looking at this scene, Gu Zheng wasn't as optimistic as they were.
Looking at the empty opposite, the passage on that level closed instantly when they entered. Even if Gu Zheng's group followed behind, there were people who specifically blocked them. Thus, Gu Zheng simply stayed where he was and watched them leave.
"Why do you say that? Is there a limit to it? "Alder asked puzzledly.
"Because they will soon know that this weapon of mine is only used against people who have the power of incense. I can't do anything to those who don't have it. We have to rely on ourselves to defeat the other party!" Gu Zheng directly told them.
"I see. But Young Master Gu, why don't you accumulate all of it and injure the other party to the greatest extent to reduce their combat strength?" Qing Xuan nodded and asked in confusion.
"Because we are not strong enough. At least half of the other party has yet to absorb the Joss Flame power. We still need some allies. Only then will we be able to minimize our losses. I do not wish for any of us to suffer any losses," Gu Zheng turned around and said to everyone. "That's right.
"Allies? How can we still have allies? The other party will definitely gather some people and return quickly. Next time, after the other party finds a way to deal with you, they will definitely come out in full force. In this way, won't we have more enemies?" Man Tian said in confusion. He felt confused from the beginning to the end.
"Of course we have allies. Our allies are among the enemy. Everyone, go back and prepare. Ten days later, it will be the time of the final battle." Gu Zheng looked into the distance. The silver needle in his hand was intertwined with his fingertips. A silver light flashed inadvertently as if it was waiting for the moment to come into play.
It might seem impressive that he could injure the other party in an instant and take them down in one breath. However, it was built on the fact that he could slowly infiltrate their bodies in this short period of time. He didn't believe that they only had this few people.
Moreover, it might seem easy for him, but the consumption in his body was huge. Compared to Chi Wen's suggestion, his method would be more reliable.
Even if Chi Wen's plan failed, he naturally had other methods.
.....
On the other side, the general and the others returned in a sorry state. Everyone didn't look too good. Those who held back saw this scene and didn't ask anything.
Some people started to help these injured people. However, in the later stages, not everyone was seriously injured and fainted.
The general didn't return. He called out to one of them. He was also seriously injured in the end. Fortunately, he didn't faint.
"Tell me, what exactly injured you?!"
"I'm not too sure either. However, I know that it's because the Joss Flame Power in my body is acting strangely. It's as if it suddenly rebelled and attacked my body. I couldn't do anything about it. That's why it's like this." That person answered honestly.
After asking a few more people, they all gave the same answer. This made everyone more or less certain that it was because of the Joss Flame Power.
At this moment, the few people who were seriously injured woke up one after another. After asking, they all gave the same answer. However, the counterattack of the Joss Flame Power was even more powerful. They couldn't withstand it at all.
"General, what should we do?" Officer Miao asked worriedly.
Including himself and the general, all of them had cultivated the Joss Flame Power. However, they had no way to get rid of it. It was as if they had a ticking time bomb in their bodies that could explode at any time.
"I have my ways. There's no need to worry. However, it's a little difficult for the others." The general pondered for a moment before saying.
"Why don't we send all of us who are loyal to Jin Xian as well? You have to know that none of them have cultivated the Joss Flame Power." Officer Miao looked around at some of the people who were threatened by them and suddenly said to the general.
Because of the limited resources, they only took in those who were truly desperate, unlike before when they took in anyone. Those who refused to take in people either disappeared from the face of the earth or became their puppets, subject to their control.
However, there was also a disadvantage to being a desperate person. When they saw that they were unstoppable or were at a disadvantage, they would waver. However, if they were in an advantageous position, then they could exert strength beyond their imagination.
This was also why the general ordered them to return after Gu Zheng used this mysterious method to injure their people. If Gu Zheng really attacked at that time, some of them would become deserters. Even if they fought, they wouldn't be able to exert much combat power.
"Those people? Not a bad idea. Even if the other side has five people, the pressure on our side will be reduced. However, what if the other side goes all out and wants to die together with us? "The general knew who they were talking about as soon as he heard them.
There were still close to thirty Jin Xian here. There were strong and weak people who were controlled by them.
"General, please don't worry about this. If we really use them, I will make them take the poison again. Although we don't have much now, it's enough for them to take again. If they dare to resist, they will die in our hands in an instant." Officer Miao assured the general.
The poison they developed could be said to be extremely tyrannical. It used the extremely rare Soul Leaf. After a special concoction, once consumed, one would be firmly controlled. If one had any other thoughts, with just a thought, their soul would be erased and they would become an idiot.
It could also control the intense pain in the other party's body. It was the kind of pain that would be imprinted in the depths of one's soul.
Previously, these people's lives were in the general's hands. However, Officer Miao's intention was to consume the pills that were mixed with other people's minds. This way, they could control the other party and ensure that they would be stopped at the first moment.
As for the antidote, they didn't have it in their hands. This was because the thing that they needed was even rarer and could only be found by chance.
"Alright then. This time, you are in full charge. Don't let me down. You know what our wish is. That rising Gu Zheng, I will deal with him! The rest is up to you. " The general's eyes flashed with a cold light. He hated Gu Zheng very much in his heart. Right now, he couldn't wait to chop him into pieces and break his bones bit by bit.
He had worked so hard for so long. For this, not only would he lose his territory, whether he won or not, but the wealth that he had painstakingly accumulated would also be swept away.
He didn't have a Concealment Jade Stone, but he had enough contribution points to exchange for it.
The country was broken, the mountains and rivers were shattered. Everything was the same but people were different. He had to go back. Those people had to die!
"General, General!" Officer Miao saw that his general was in a daze and shouted repeatedly. Only then did he call the general back.
"Alright, let's do it this way. First, send people to gather those Jin Xian. After you are done with the matters at the front, you will go. I have a premonition that the other party might have found a way to break the Concealment Jade Stone. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so aggressive. Otherwise, if we continue to stay inside, they will be very passive." The general's eyes were firm as he said to Officer Miao.
"As for me, I need to go and make some preparations. The other party was able to kill a few people by himself. He must be extraordinary."
"No problem! This subordinate understands! "Officer Miao said in a deep voice. After his eyes swept across the area, he spoke to someone.
"Go and gather all those people at the south side. Wait for me to go over!"
The person who was pointed at was originally in charge of that side. After hearing this, he immediately left.
After the general finished speaking, he disappeared. After Officer Miao arranged the people, he began to instruct them one by one.
Since the general would find a way to lure that person away, those who had the power of incense would have to delay their departure. They needed those who didn't have the power of incense to be the vanguard.
Soon, this group of people also left. However, no one noticed that a figure had sneaked out while Officer Miao was instructing everyone.
On the street not far away, many people were also looking over. After a few pairs of eyes saw this scene, they also walked back to their homes as if nothing had happened. After a few turns, they arrived at an ordinary door. They pushed the door open and entered as if it was their own home.
"Great grandfather, there seems to be a situation outside. Perhaps the rumors from before are true!" A young man said to an old man in front of him.
"Cough cough, is that true? Go and ask around. Could it be that I will be able to see the return of our village in my lifetime? " The old man had a head full of white hair and countless wrinkles on his body. He was already extremely old. After hearing this, he recovered from his dazed gaze and spoke.
"Yes, but should we do something? If it is true! We can help. " The young man didn't quite understand the old man's feelings. However, he knew that this place used to be his village's territory. For some reason, it was forcefully occupied by the current ancestor god.
Of course, all of this was told to him by his great grandfather. Although his great grandfather was very weak now, he knew that it wouldn't be a problem for him to live for a few hundred more years.
"No need. You just need to spread the news in the hall. If you meet the other party's ancestor god, try your best to tell him that I have something to tell him. It has to do with them hiding something in the center." The old man raised his arm and pointed at the young man.
"Okay, I understand!"
On the other side, at the edge of the village, groups of people were chased out of various resting places. They were all gathered in an open space outside.
"You all wait here for Officer Miao. If you know what the consequences of walking around are," this person arrogantly threatened them before hurriedly leaving.
Most of the people below only raised their eyelids slightly and looked up. There wasn't a single ripple in their hearts. However, there were a few people who were indignant. However, when they thought of the consequences of leaving this place, they calmed down.
What else could they do? They didn't want to be unwillingly controlled by the other party after being tricked here. They could only think of a way to find an opportunity in the future.
Although their position was at the edge and there was no obstruction outside, it was a pity that they would never be able to leave. This was the result of several people trying.
After that person completely left their line of sight, some people sat on the ground. Some people walked left and right, looking at the people around them. Some people were still the same, standing in the same place like walking corpses. However, some light could still be seen in their eyes, indicating that they hadn't completely fallen.
"Did you see that? I smelled the scent of blood from that person's body. In addition, he seemed to be in a hurry. It seems that something has happened!" One of the people, who was clearly shorter than the others and had a pair of strange ears, suddenly said.
"Your nose is really sharp. I smelled it too. However, what can happen? It can't be that someone is attacking us, right?" the person sitting next to her said indifferently.
According to what he knew, the longest person here had been here for tens of thousands of years. Their temperament still hadn't been completely worn out. They were really amazing.
One had to know that every once in a while, the other party would torture them. Moreover, under the corrosion of that kind of poison, their souls would slowly be damaged, and their perception would slowly decrease.
If they couldn't endure it, then their whole body would become a walking corpse, and they would become the other party's slave.
If the other party was determined enough and there was no way out, then this person would be killed in the end.
"It's hard to say. Didn't someone escape from here some time ago? He definitely wasn't caught. Perhaps they reported it to the higher-ups, and now they are wanted!" another burly man said with a smile.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. The people here won't ask about this. I think it should be the person who escaped. He went to find his own people to look for trouble. If I went out, I would do the same. You know, there are a few big tribes waiting for some of these people. If they don't find them and kill them, they won't leave this place at all." the first person said indifferently.
"It would be great if the other party could break through this place. Right now, we can't even commit suicide. What a disgrace!" The third person had a head full of thick red hair. His entire person was comparable to the two people beside him, and he was even more majestic.
"Who said it wasn't? If I knew that coming here would be like this, I would have fought fiercely with the people who were chasing me. It's just that I died a little unwillingly. I was wronged. I'm really ashamed to face my ancestors!" the burly man said with a sigh.
"Let me tell you, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is here. As long as you dare to take the risk, you will definitely survive." At this time, a stranger suddenly came from the side. His thin body forcibly squeezed a space beside them.
