"Alright, I got the gist of it. I hope you can bring me good news!" Gu Zheng did a quick check and put away the black bottle in his hand. Although he didn't know how much it would cost, it definitely wouldn't be cheap. However, a hundred units was still a little too little. After all, this was a Water Clan, a race that existed alone. It was a little pitiful.
"I believe that your return will definitely make those people reconsider," Yu Ye said happily. Through the previous few contacts, he had already sensed that the upper echelons were loosening their stance. He had even begun to think about moving to a place far away from South Goblin City. It would be quieter.
"Yingshao, you have to serve Elder Gu well in the future. If there's anything, let the human servants do it. Do you understand?" Yu Ye instructed Yingshao.
"I understand!" Yingshao had been brainwashed by Yu Ye's instructions along the way. She knew what she had to do and responded crisply.
"Elder, I'll take my leave first!" At this time, Yu Ye said his goodbyes and hurriedly left the courtyard.
On the other side, after Yu Ye left, the only two female servants came in with two steaming bowls of tea.
"Elder, Miss!"
The two human servants looked about twenty years old and looked very ordinary. However, their arms were slightly trembling and their heads were slightly lowered. They didn't dare to look at them because they were a little afraid.
Gu Zheng glanced at the tea in their hands. The teacups looked pretty good, but they were served on a slightly faded tray. In addition, the tea was steeped cheaply. Even if Gu Zheng didn't mind, he wouldn't be able to drink it.
"You can leave. Don't come in half a step without my permission. Do you hear me?" Gu Zheng ordered them.
"Yes!"
The two servants didn't dare to raise their heads and hurriedly left with the things in their hands.
"Alright, I need to go into seclusion. You can go to the side and rest!" Gu Zheng looked at Yingshao and ordered.
"Elder Gu, can I ask you a question?" Yingshao looked at Gu Zheng with sparkling eyes. Her eyes were filled with doubt.
"Speak. If I can, I will definitely tell you!" Gu Zheng also had a good impression of Yingshao. Perhaps it was because he had imitated Purple Dress' bloodline, but this junior was quite pleasing to the eye.
"Elder Gu, why did you dress up as a man? I can see that you're clearly a woman!" Naive Yingshao's eyes flashed with confusion. Her big eyes blinked as she looked at Gu Zheng, as if she was waiting for him to explain.
"What? You can see through my disguise! "This time, Gu Zheng was really shocked. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, indirectly confirming his guess.
"It's very simple. Why can't I see it?" On the other hand, Yingshao had some doubts. She pointed at Gu Zheng's shoulder and asked, "Is that where you are hiding?"
Gu Zheng looked at the position she was pointing at. That place was where Zi Yi was resting in his body. His heart moved, and he could not help but ask.
"Since you can see, can you hide? For example, make it so that no one can detect your existence. Or simply change into another person's aura. "
"Of course I can. Otherwise, I would have been eaten by some monsters in the past. This is my innate ability!" When Yingshao heard this, she immediately said proudly.
"If it was me, how long could you help me hide?" Gu Zheng continued to ask. He did not expect that a junior in Purple Dress would have such a special ability!
"Let me see!" Yingshao tilted her head and looked at Gu Zheng. Then, her palm began to gesture in the air. Strands of white crystal light began to fall from the sky with her palm.
However, under a strange force, when the white crystal light was about to fall to the ground, it began to dance in a certain trajectory. It slowly circled around Gu Zheng's lower body.
Finally, when it returned to the top of his head, the white light instantly dissipated in the air. Yingshao's face also paled slightly. This was her innate ability, so the consumption was relatively small. Moreover, she had not used it on Gu Zheng yet. She had only looked at it briefly.
"Elder Gu, if it covers your body, it will probably only last for half a cup of tea's time at most. After that, it will dissipate and lose its effect." Yingshao thought for a moment and said with uncertainty.
"That's enough! Is the consumption large? How many times can you use it? " Gu Zheng was already very surprised. One had to know that with their high cultivation, they were actually able to cover ordinary Goblin. As expected of their innate ability.
Under normal circumstances, if they could see through the other party's disguise, they would also hide themselves. Gu Zheng was confident that even the general guarding this place would not be able to see through his disguise. However, in front of her, it was completely useless. This was why Gu Zheng asked.
"I can only use it once in a certain period of time because I have to wait for my inner pearl to fully recover!" Yingshao pointed at her abdomen and said.
For example, Zi Yi's clam pearl could absorb and transform all kinds of lightning energy for her own use, greatly increasing her battle strength. However, it seemed like Yingshao's pearl was used to assist in concealment.
He did not think that he would be so lucky to encounter it so casually. One had to know that not everyone would have such a miraculous change. The right time, the right place, and the right people were all indispensable. It was all thanks to Zi Yi's luck that he met a random junior of hers that brought him such a big surprise.
"Alright, you go and rest first. After a while, I will bring you out to test it." Gu Zheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and prepared to let her personally go to the city gate to test it.
Yingshao nodded, closed the door, and left. There was a room specially prepared for the maids at the side. It was also simple and crude.
Gu Zheng casually set up another layer of barrier before sitting down on the simple bed. He put everything on the bed aside, took a deep breath, and took out the copper box.
This copper box was a very simple box. There was also a simple layer of seal on the outside. Traces of aura leaked out from the cracks.
His palm brushed across the surface of the copper box. Following a few flashes of clear light, the seal on the box was broken. With such a violent method, if the owner of the box was still here, he would definitely be able to sense Gu Zheng's location.
However, even the precious jade pendant had been lost. It was likely that the original owner had already met with misfortune.
As the copper box was opened, a piece of dull stone was revealed. It looked like a piece of soil that had been weathered for a long time. Its appearance was extremely poor. As Gu Zheng's hand shook, some of the soil fell off from the top.
A piece of Earth Attribute material that had existed for an unknown amount of time. Due to the fact that it hadn't been properly maintained, it had already become somewhat damaged. In fact, no one would even add it into the mix to create something because it could already be said to be in a scrapped state.
However, Gu Zheng's eyes were filled with joy. If it was to deal with a complete seal, then this inferior material would be useless. But for a seal that was similarly broken, this material that was not even worth his attention was enough.
When he was in the Sage-to-be Secret Realm, he had inquired many times but had not found any information. In the end, he had accidentally encountered it here. Finally, the knot in his heart had been untied. When faced with any unexpected situation, he had enough confidence to face it.
It was time to restore his strength.
Gu Zheng threw the copper box, and the broken piece of soil stopped in mid-air. Then, Gu Zheng closed his eyes. A layer of golden light began to shine in the room.
.....
At this moment, in the General's Residence, Yu Ye hurried over. After revealing his identity token, he walked in through the door that was not too small.
The General's Residence was not small. However, he was already very familiar with the place. He did not need anyone to lead him. After a few turns, he walked into an inner courtyard.
There was a group of people here who specialized in trifling matters for the General. Their cultivation was not very high, but logically speaking, they were already doing a good job. At least, nothing could be found wrong with them.
When he came to the outermost area, he saw a familiar figure standing in the corner of the courtyard. Not only her, but there were also a few people waiting beside her.
"Yao Yu, why are you also waiting here?"
Yao Yu had been sent by him to continue the matter of applying for a territory. This time, he came to apply for an identity for the Elder of his family. Only then could he go anywhere unimpeded. After all, some matters were better handled by the Elder.
"The person in charge of receiving me has already gone in to report. In the end, something urgent happened inside. I have already waited here for three days. I think I will continue to wait!" Yao Yu was talking to someone beside him. When he heard Yu Ye's voice, he waited until Yu Ye walked to his side before speaking.
"What happened inside? Why is it still not resolved after such a long time? Is there going to be another battle? "Yu Ye curiously looked inside. However, the door was tightly shut. No one could see inside.
As for using his divine sense to search, it was even more impossible. The entire General's Residence was covered by a formation. No one could use their divine sense outside. Even Jin Xian was the same.
"I don't know. A few groups of people have already gone in. No one knows what is inside now. We are all waiting here!" Yao Yu was also anxious. However, it was useless.
Not only them, but everyone else was also waiting here bitterly.
Yu Ye was also waiting here. When the door opened, he would go in.
Inside the room, the atmosphere had already reached a boiling point. There was silence in the air, and the entire room was silent.
In the middle, a man and a woman stood there. Especially the woman, she was looking at the man angrily. On the other hand, the man looked indifferent.
"Cough cough! Let me say a few words. Everything is clear now. As for the passage you mentioned, my assistant personally went there. It has indeed been sealed by you. Now, even if we want to use it, we can't. It has been completely destroyed. You said it yourself that you were the one who destroyed it, right? "On the main seat, an old man with a goatee spoke at this time.
"Wasn't it because he asked me to do so? Furthermore, I was afraid that he would chase after me, so I damaged it. However, that is not the main point. He deliberately abandoned me. If not for the fact that he disdained to compete with the younger generation, I might not have been able to come back." The woman said angrily.
"I will say it again. At that time, I didn't ask you to attack the other party. I asked you to escape with me. Don't blame me. Furthermore, the other party must have wanted to obtain that passage. If it were me, I would have killed myself to protect that passage." The man said disdainfully.
"You … you are so cruel!" The woman's eyes were glistening with tears. Although she knew that the other party was cruel, he still wanted to hit her when she was down and ruthlessly stepped on her. This made her face turn ashen.
"What do you mean by heartless? Initially, I found that place to see if we could pass through it with you, but unfortunately, we encountered an enemy. However, before I came, I had already blocked the entrance so that we could use it one day. Great, now it's completely ruined. To think that I trusted you so much!" The man ignored the other party's glare and stomped on his foot again.
The woman felt as if she had been hit by a heavy blow. Her tears finally burst out of her eyes. The last trace of hope in her heart was shattered. She was stunned and speechless.
"Alright, you guys don't have to say anymore. The matter is clear. Luo Xin, you have accused them without permission and even destroyed an important passage. However, since you did not do anything bad, I will imprison you for a hundred years. What do you think, Patriarch Luo?" The old man with the goat on top finally made the decision.
"I have no objections. I am very grateful that my daughter has received everyone's magnanimity!" Patriarch Luo said with a flattering expression. It was as if the person below was not his daughter at all.
"I wonder if Patriarch Fan has any objections?" One of the people above spoke to the other side.
"It's just a small matter. It's fine as long as we talk it out. I am really sorry for wasting the lord's hard work for a few days. I will definitely thank you when I return." Patriarch Fan said with a smile.
"No need. This is what I should do. Since that's the case, everyone can disperse. There are already many things waiting to be dealt with outside. I will not send you guys off!"
As the door opened again, another day had passed. People walked out one by one. Yao Yu who was standing outside looked at the people inside and said with a stare.
"Aren't you the Patriarch Fan of the Wolf Clan? Why are you here? "
"I guess there was a conflict with the Luo Clan. Didn't you see them walking behind? No wonder. This time, the Luo Clan will be at a disadvantage!" Yu Ye did not need to look to know the result.
The Wolf Clan did not only have their cubs. They also had many subordinate clans. For example, their original form was tiger, black bear and so on. However, the Wolf Clan had a large number of people. In addition to the strength of the Patriarch, they were called the Wolf Clan. They were the true Patriarchs of the Wolf Clan.
As for the other clans, each of them had a Patriarch who was in charge of their own clans. However, they were all under the Wolf Clan.
Compared to the Wolf Clan, the Luo Clan was simply a world of difference. A clan that was originally a rabbit clan was a first-class clan. However, under the leadership of another clan, they were led by a group of wild bulls. The Wolf Clan had a large number of people. However, the difference between the Wolf Clan and the Wolf Clan was too big. The only advantage they had was that they had more beautiful women.
The strength of the two clans could not even be compared.
"This time, you dare to report without permission. You will suffer when you go back!" Yu Ye could vaguely hear the Luo Clan's Patriarch reprimanding him.
"Sigh, no matter how weak they are, they still have more people than us. If we continue like this, we might not even exist in a few thousand years!" Yao Yu looked at the opposite side and sighed.
"Sigh, but at least we have an elder. We can consider sending some people out to capture some juniors. Hopefully, they can save us. It's a pity that we can't absorb the black gas before we open our spiritual wisdom. Otherwise, how could we fall into such a situation?" Yu Ye was also depressed. However, there was nothing he could do.
"Forget it. Let's prepare to go in. Let's take care of the things in front of us first." Seeing that some of them had already entered, Yao Yu hurriedly urged them. This was not the order of first come, first served.
The two of them hurriedly rushed inside.
.....
After a day, Gu Zheng's motionless body suddenly opened his eyes. A trace of golden light flashed in his eyes. Following a soft sound from his forehead, a wisp of black flame emerged from it, forming a black skull that floated in front of Gu Zheng.
The mouth roared at Gu Zheng, as if it was unwilling to give up. It wanted to rush into Gu Zheng's body again. However, a wisp of golden light completely blocked its path, completely trapping it inside. It could not break free at all.
All of its power had dissipated. All that was left was a frightening appearance.
"Damn traitor. You've been pestering me for too long. This time, I finally caught you!" Gu Zheng thought about what had happened at the Shura's place, as well as that cute little insect, and fell into a trance.
However, not long after, Gu Zheng came back to his senses. He looked at the black fog in front of him, which was still baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, and he looked at it with disdain.
He still had many things to do, so there was no need to waste time. He felt that his body was refreshed, and his entire body was indescribably comfortable. His cultivation had finally returned.
He stretched out his hand and grasped, causing the black fog in front of him to completely disappear.
After stretching his arms and legs, Gu Zheng opened the door and walked towards Yingshao. He wanted to test out her magic, and he also wanted to find Elder Ye's position. However, he was not in a hurry.
He had already heard from Yu Ye that the captives from the previous battle were still in this city. He had to make sure that nothing went wrong, or else he would be trapped here.
After opening the room that he had prepared for Yingshao, he found that there was no one inside. Gu Zheng carefully sensed his surroundings, but he could not find any trace of her. After thinking for a while, he walked outside.
When he arrived at the front courtyard, he saw a male servant cleaning the courtyard.
He directly asked, "Did you see where my maid went?"
"Lord Elder!" When the servant heard the voice and saw Gu Zheng, he immediately stood up. After thinking for a while, he said, "I didn't see her. I've been in the front courtyard the whole time. However, I heard a sound coming from the pond in the back. Perhaps she's there."
Gu Zheng really did not know that this place was not big, but there was a pond specially set aside. However, when he thought about it, this was a place of the Water Tribe, so it was normal for there to be a pond.
It seemed that she should be in that place.
