The whole room was silent. After the advisor finished speaking, everyone was quiet. However, no one knew what they were thinking.
Not only Man Li, but the others were also very curious after hearing that Man Ling had been beaten up. The new elder of the Water Tribe was so arrogant and had offended them as soon as he arrived.
Some people who happened to come here for business also stopped, wanting to see who the elder of the Water Tribe was.
However, this silence didn't last for long. A shout from outside stirred up a ripple in the air.
"Advisor, Elder Gu has arrived."
As the sound faded, the sound of steady footsteps could be heard from outside. The person was walking towards them at a steady pace.
When everyone inside looked at the door, a young man walked in slowly from outside. Except for Man Li, everyone who saw Gu Zheng for the first time was shocked.
At first, he thought that it was an old man, but the other party looked so young. Especially the smile on his face, it was as if he didn't care about anything. He was like a sharp blade, as if he was a young man who had just stepped into this realm. He made people feel an aggressive aura, and it was impossible to associate him with a calm and steady mind.
Only that pair of eyes looked completely different, as if they were two different people.
However, they were just surprised. Perhaps this was his personality.
Everyone's surprise passed in an instant as they watched Gu Zheng walk directly to Yu Ye and the others.
"Greetings, Advisor!" Gu Zheng waved his hand as a greeting.
"Haha, Elder Gu Zheng, seeing is believing. It seems like the Water Tribe has a new hope under your leadership." Gu Zheng smiled. "Haha. The advisor didn't rely on his status. Instead, he walked down from above and waved his hand at Gu Zheng.
Just based on this, Gu Zheng's impression of him increased. No wonder he could be given such an important task by the general.
"I have also just left the mountain. Some things have already changed dramatically. If I have done anything wrong, please forgive me!" Gu Zheng also smiled.
When others showed him respect, he would return it tenfold.
"Then why didn't you know what was good for you and beat up my men?" A voice suddenly rose from the side.
Gu Zheng turned around and saw a man who looked stronger than an ox glaring at him. He was the one who had spoken.
However, after seeing the bald head behind him, Gu Zheng suddenly understood. Wasn't this the behavior of a child who couldn't win and went back to call his parents? How disappointing. Was that all he had?
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng's eyes flashed with a trace of disdain, causing the baldy's face to immediately turn red. Just as the baldy was about to say something unsightly, Man Li spoke.
"Man Ling, calm down. Don't let your emotions be easily stirred up by others. What have I taught you? Why can't you change?"
It was as if he could see Man Leng's cold expression behind him, and the cold reprimand immediately calmed him down.
"I got it, big brother!"
Gu Zheng turned around and said without looking at them, "Father and son soldiers, brothers going into battle. I've really seen a good show."
"Elder Gu, don't ruin the harmony between us. He didn't mean anything! He just wanted to see your elegance. This is your identity card. Every year, you can receive a thousand units of black gas. It's at the station outside. You can receive it anywhere. "The advisor took out a black token and handed it over.
"I didn't say anything. It's just that the other party's tone sounded unpleasant!" Gu Zheng took the token and looked at it. His family name was engraved on it. It was a faint blood-red color, which was very conspicuous on the black crystal.
"Sigh, I'm really disappointed. I thought that the elder of the Water Tribe would be a man of indomitable spirit. I didn't expect you to be such a person with such low self-esteem. I'm so disappointed. I don't even want to get acquainted with you. It seems that the Water Tribe is getting worse with each generation." Man Li stood up and said with disappointment.
"It's not up to you to decide. Speaking of which, I don't want to deal with people like you who are full of muscles." When Gu Zheng heard this, of course, he couldn't bear it and immediately said with disdain.
"Ha, you're talking big. Do you believe that I can beat the entire Water Tribe by myself?" Man Li couldn't help but sneer when he heard the other party's words.
"Let's go. This group of people is really sick in the head. If they want to find trouble for their children, just say it. Anyone can see through it. Do they need to be so secretive?" Gu Zheng walked in front of Yu Ye and said to them. He led them a few steps forward, then stopped and said to Man Li.
"What did you say?" Man Li didn't say anything, but Man Ling who was behind him suddenly said.
"Nothing. I'll stay in our Water Tribe's place for three days. If you want to find me, I'll accompany you at any time. I'll let you know that there's always someone better than you. "
Gu Zheng once again turned around and said while walking. As soon as his voice fell, his body flashed with an imposing aura and immediately walked out of the door.
Everyone inside felt the terrifying aura and stood up in shock. The advisor shook his head and once again returned to his seat.
For him, he didn't care about the enmity of the other party at all. He was just curious to see the demeanor of an elder of the Water Tribe. If the other party was really capable, then perhaps he would really be sent to participate in this operation.
"Jin Xian … Jin Xian Peak!" This time, Man Li was a little surprised. When he fought with Ye Xiwen last time, Ye Xiwen's strength was obviously the same as his. How could he be promoted to the peak in the blink of an eye?
"Humph, the other party was just trying to numb you last time. Otherwise, how could you be defeated so easily? But the other party's attitude is too arrogant." Man Li looked at Gu Zheng's back and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.
When the two saw that the others had nothing to watch, they hurriedly left. The two also left the place.
"Is it really so obvious on my face?" Just after leaving the General's Mansion, Man Li's figure suddenly stopped and asked Man Ling who was next to him.
"Well, anyway, I think you're here to help me vent my anger!" Man Ling was stunned for a moment. After a long time, she said euphemistically for fear of irritating her elder brother.
"Haha, no wonder. In that case, I didn't want to intervene in your affairs. For a person whose cultivation is not as good as mine, I disdain to intervene. But now, I'll help you vent your anger!" Man Li seemed to have figured out something and laughed.
"Thank you, elder brother!" Man Ling was overjoyed. With her elder brother's help, the Water Tribe would be severely humiliated this time.
The two soon disappeared on the street.
.....
At the entrance of the Cloud Dream Swamp, just like before, there was only a gentle breeze.
However, in the distant horizon, a huge chariot like thing was slowly approaching from the sky. The entire flying chariot was long and narrow. It was completely different from an ordinary chariot. Its surface was covered with a layer of blue crystal jade. It looked like a flying house in the sky.
In the front position, two fully armed figures stood there motionless. Their whole body was covered with layers of dense blue armor. The masks on their heads had been lowered.
As the flying chariot slowly stopped above the entrance of the Cloud Dream Swamp, a slender man walked out of the cabin above.
The man was shrouded in a layer of hazy blue light, making his face somewhat unclear. But, his facial features were vaguely visible.
As soon as he appeared, he looked around and finally looked at the depths of the Cloud Dream Swamp in the distance. He didn't move for a long time.
"It seems that I came a little early! This time, I must get it. I've been stuck here for too long. "
He muttered to himself. Then, he jumped down from the flying chariot. At the same time, the surface of the flying chariot flashed with a trace of blue light. The entire body of the flying chariot shrunk at an extremely fast speed. Along with the two people on it, the flying chariot shrunk. Finally, when the man landed on the ground, it turned into a small and exquisite blue crystal statue and fell on his hand.
After a short pause in the periphery, he directly rushed into the Cloud Dream Swamp.
.....
On the way back, Yu Ye and Yao Yu walked behind Gu Zheng. The two people looked at each other from time to time. But, they didn't speak.
"Say it. Don't look at each other anxiously. If you have any questions, ask me directly!" Gu Zheng suddenly opened his mouth.
"Elder Gu, why did you provoke that person?" Seeing that his thoughts were exposed, Yu Ye couldn't help but ask.
Although they were very happy that Elder Gu's cultivation base was revealed again, they didn't expect that Gu Zheng had never revealed his true strength before. It was no wonder that he didn't care about what others thought when he did things.
"Could it be that you really can't figure out what happened inside?" Gu Zheng didn't stop walking. He continued to walk forward and asked them instead.
"Forgive us for being stupid. We really couldn't figure it out." Yao Yu thought about it carefully. In the end, she gave up helplessly and said to Gu Zheng.
Let alone her, even Yu Ye couldn't figure out why Gu Zheng would do this.
Gu Zheng, who was leading the way, suddenly stood still. He turned around and looked at the two of them. The two of them looked like they were in a muddy situation. He sighed and said.
"Our Water Tribe has been weak for many years. Although I've returned, I can still feel the contempt of others. If we want to change their view, the best way is to show our strength so that they won't look down on us anymore."
After saying that, Gu Zheng continued to walk forward, leaving them in shock.
As for whether what he said was true, only Gu Zheng knew.
However, after Yu Ye and Yao Yu recovered from their shock, they looked at each other and clearly understood what Gu Zheng meant.
Indeed, no matter how good his words were, it was better to show his strength. Even if it was just a little bit, it would be enough to make some people less arrogant and their tribe's life would be better.
"That Man Li is very powerful. Elder Gu, are you confident that you can defeat him? And it seems that he might not come. "The two of them immediately caught up and asked Gu Zheng.
"He will definitely come. I will definitely win!"
What left them were only Gu Zheng's confident words.
Whether Gu Zheng left or not, he would only give him three days. If he didn't come in three days, he would definitely not accept other people's challenges.
On the second day after Gu Zheng's return, the other party couldn't hold back and sent someone to deliver a challenge letter.
"… At noon, meet at the southwest mountain."
Gu Zheng looked at the challenge letter in his hand and couldn't help but smile as he said to the people below.
"See that? This is clearly a trap, but the other party is completely unaware."
Yu Ye and Yao Yu looked at Gu Zheng in admiration. From the beginning to the end, they didn't know why the other party did this. They originally thought that Gu Zheng was a brute, but they didn't expect him to be so meticulous. The Water Tribe was really lucky.
If Gu Zheng knew what the other party was thinking, he would be even more disdainful. Yu Ye and Yao Yu were too narrow-minded. Basically, those Jin Xian could see through his actions.
If he really wanted to be meticulous, even in the General's Residence, he could make the other party vomit blood.
Because he walked openly, even if Man Li didn't appear, there would still be Man Niu. If others appeared, there would always be someone to test him.
Because ever since he came here, there were many spies in the surroundings. It was just that Gu Zheng didn't ask them.
"The southwest mountain is a relatively high slope, and it's very spacious. It's also far away from South Goblin City, so it's a good place. I wonder if we should go earlier?" Yu Ye asked below.
"No need. If you want to see it, you can go earlier. When the time comes, I'll naturally go." Gu Zheng waved his hand and said to everyone.
"How can I not go when the elder is fighting? I will definitely see the elder defeat the opponent with my own eyes." Yao Yu reacted quickly and said immediately.
Yu Ye also said that he would definitely go. Even Yingshao wanted to go.
"When the time comes, just bring Yingshao. Miss Luo Xin, you should wait at home if it's inconvenient."
Luo Xin didn't expect to go. Now that Yingshao brought him news, his own family was looking for him. Perhaps the Fan Family was also secretly looking for him. This was the safest place.
Originally, this battle was posted by Man Li, so outsiders didn't know about it. But in just half a day, basically everyone knew that Man Li was going to avenge his younger brother and challenge the new elder of the Water Clan.
Suddenly, half of the Goblin City was boiling. One had to know that it was normal to see a battle between experts. Almost everyone who could go would rush over at night to find a good spot.
Of course, they didn't dare to get close. They could only stay far away from that place, leaving enough distance to avoid being injured by the aftermath.
At this moment, it was already very late. Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the next day.
In a large courtyard of the Fan Family, the Fan Family's patriarch looked at the person kneeling in front of him and said in a deep voice.
"Are you sure that the person who beat up my son is the new elder of the Water Clan?"
"Without a doubt, because of the unique aura on his body. However, I was afraid that he was in disguise, so when I brought him to search on the streets, I just happened to see him come out of the water tribe's stronghold. Then, when he returned, our attendants and that little girl named Xiao Le all recognized him at a glance." A person wearing a black robe, only revealing a pair of eyes, said with certainty.
"I know. Have they dealt with it?" Fan Family's patriarch rubbed his forehead. Ever since Fan Yu was sent back, he didn't have a good day.
"Already dealt with. I guarantee that they won't leak any information." The black robed person said with a murderous look.
"Well done. You can leave. Don't ask about this matter anymore." Fan Family's patriarch waved the black robed person away and went to the back room.
This was a very luxurious room, but now the atmosphere was very heavy.
A beautiful woman was at the bedside, looking at her unconscious son. She kept wiping her tears. Seeing that her master had returned, she quickly wiped her tears and stood up.
"Master, did you find the culprit who hurt our son?"
"Found him! But we can't touch him now! " Fan Family's patriarch looked at his son on the bed. Anger rose in his eyes, but he forced himself to control his emotions.
"Why? Could it be that even we can't afford to offend him?" The woman asked unwillingly. Her pair of red and swollen eyes were already emitting fire.
"Don't think too much. At this time, the big picture is more important. You have to know that if something goes wrong, all of us will be buried together with him. There will be opportunities in the future. I swear that I will not let him go. In the future, there will be a time." Fan Family's patriarch turned his back, not looking at the woman and his son. He was afraid that he would give the wrong order. His voice was a little cold.
"Yes, I have already invited Doctor Feng. None of them are useful. They can't even treat Yu 'er's injuries. Really useless." The woman said angrily.
"Do what you have to do. Do as you see fit. If anyone dares to stop you, you can kill them first and report later. Now, I am going to the General's residence. I will not be back for a few days." Fan Family's patriarch walked to the door and stopped. He turned back and looked at his wife.
"Don't worry. Leave everything to me!"
Early the next morning, Gu Zheng left the mansion and swaggered towards the direction of the hill.
Although everyone was talking about him, most of them basically didn't know Gu Zheng. Even when Gu Zheng swaggered in front of them, they were still talking about how Gu Zheng looked like.
It was still early. Gu Zheng wasn't in a hurry. He slowly walked towards the hill and listened to the people talking about him. It was quite interesting.
"Hey, hey. Don't go any further. Be careful or you might lose your life!"
By the time Gu Zheng reached the outermost area, no one was approaching. This place was still very far away from the hill. But at this time, Gu Zheng was pulled back by someone behind him and warned him, "Let's go.
This person was similarly young. However, his cultivation was only at the early Heaven Immortal stage. Moreover, his aura didn't seem too stable. It was obvious that he had just advanced recently.
"Thanks. Of course I know!" Gu Zheng chuckled. He rejected the other party's kindness and continued to walk forward.
This time, everyone's eyes instantly focused on him. One must know that this distance was already the limit. It was the warning of some senior Jin Xian. If he went any further, he would really die early.
Everyone was talking about Gu Zheng. They all felt that he was going to be knocked out and thrown out because he was already walking towards the hill. He was simply ruining the battle.
"Hey, who can see through his cultivation?"
A surprised voice sounded in the crowd. Then, it spread like a virus.
"I can't see through it."
"I can't see through it either!"
"Who is he? Could it be? "
A terrifying thought arose in the crowd. Everyone looked at Gu Zheng with burning eyes. Because he was already standing on the top of the hill, looking in the direction of the South Demon City. It was as if he was waiting for something.
No one made them wait for too long. From South Goblin City, a figure directly shot into the sky from behind a city gate and rushed towards the hill at high speed.
Leaving a red light in the sky, the next moment, he appeared on the top of the hill. Looking down at Gu Zheng, he smiled and said.
"Elder Gu came so quickly. I was a little slow!"
