After they all left, Gu Zheng immediately sealed the room's door.
At this moment, Gu Zheng also let out a muffled groan. His hand was pressed on the table beside him. His originally nonchalant face had become flushed red. It was a long while later before he slowly returned to normal.
A medicinal pill was placed in Gu Zheng's mouth, then he closed his eyes and began to adjust his breath.
It had to be known that although the final bolt of purple lightning appeared to be very powerful, it had consumed fifty percent of Gu Zheng's magic power. With that, he had almost fainted on the spot.
Moreover, the reason why Man Li was seriously injured was that the other party didn't expect him to launch such a fierce attack. As a result, his physical body only caused so little damage to the other party. It could be seen that his body was strong.
If it was controlled by Zi Yi, this attack would have taken the other party's life.
In any case, he estimated that he would have peace for a period of time. No one would disturb him, so it was worth it.
However, Elder Ye's matter would have to be put aside for the time being.
After thinking carefully again, Gu Zheng only left a trace of Divine Sense outside and completely fell into recuperation.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed. For Gu Zheng, it was just a snap of the fingers. At this time, he finally recuperated and recovered to his best state.
As soon as he went out, the whole courtyard was empty. Except for the sound of the wind, he couldn't hear any other sound. It seemed that everyone had left.
In the courtyard, there was also a layer of dust. It seemed that it hadn't been cleaned for quite a while. Even the pool in the corner had some weeds.
After a little perception, he found that he was indeed the only one here.
He walked out of the room. He had no idea where they had been for the past year.
Just after taking two steps, he heard the sound of the door opening from outside.
An unfamiliar young man walked in from outside. He was holding some things that could be used in daily life. When he saw Gu Zheng, he immediately became excited.
"Elder Gu, you're awake? I've been here waiting for you to wake up. "The young man quickly put down the things in his hand and said respectfully to Gu Zheng.
"Where are they?" Gu Zheng could feel that they were indeed from the Water Race, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Not long after Elder Gu went into seclusion, all of them left this place. Because our Water Clan was allocated to a new place, everyone went there, while I stayed behind to wait for Elder Gu to come out! Do you want to go to our new place now? "the young man said hurriedly.
"Let's go!" Gu Zheng thought for a while. Since he had nothing else to do, he headed straight for the Heart of the Water Tribe.
Along the way, Gu Zheng asked the young man some questions.
Thanks to Gu Zheng, their request for a new territory was finally approved. However, it wasn't the best place they had before. They knew that even with Gu Zheng's presence, that place wasn't something the Water Tribe could take over. Therefore, they continued north, not too far away from South Goblin City.
There was a natural valley there. As long as they opened up a channel to draw water in, it would be a very good location.
Hei Feng, who was always on the right side of the valley, ensured his safety. He basically didn't have to worry about a sneak attack from the opposite side.
The space in the valley was large enough for all of them to live in, with more than enough room to spare.
As for the loose demons that were originally living in the valley, they were naturally expelled. With Gu Zheng's fame, these loose demons didn't say anything and directly left.
Although there were experts like Jin Xian among them, otherwise they wouldn't have occupied this place. However, Gu Zheng alone could deal with all of them. In addition, there was an order issued by the advisor, so they were very tactful and gave up their position.
Moreover, what surprised Gu Zheng was that Fan Yu was still alive. This was because the Fan Clan had spent a lot of money to find a Thousand Soul Grass. The reward was so high that it made people's hearts move.
This kind of grass only grew in the depths of the North Mountain. Moreover, it was very rare. It was rumored that the First Line Peak also had Thousand Soul Grass. Unfortunately, no one had the guts to look for it.
It seemed like there was an expert who saved his life. However, Gu Zheng didn't care. The other party probably already knew that it was him. He had to be careful of the other party causing trouble for him.
Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. As long as it wasn't a Grand Luo, the other party wouldn't be a threat to him. If it was a threat to the Water Clan, Gu Zheng could only say that it was up to them.
It was just a place to hide his identity. However, if he wanted to protect Yingshao, she might be useful.
Furthermore, Gu Zheng noticed something else from the young man's tone. South Fey City's security seemed to have become stricter. In his words, this was usually the start of a battle. It was likely that another battle was about to begin.
This made Gu Zheng a little worried. He hadn't rescued Elder Ye yet, but the battle had already started.
The frequency of the battle was completely different from what Xing Cai had told him. For some reason, he felt a little strange.
A week later, Gu Zheng arrived at the valley. It was indeed a good place. In the middle, there was a small lake that they had painstakingly dug out.
Under the welcoming of Yu Ye and the other Water Clan members, after an unusually grand ceremony, the valley calmed down again. Gu Zheng also settled down inside.
After three years of construction, everything above and below ground had been built.
Most of the Water Clan members still lived below, while the humans lived above ground. They had returned to their previous lives.
The only difference was that the environment was better. Moreover, no one came to disturb them.
Three days later, in a luxurious room above ground, Gu Zheng was sitting on the main seat and listening to Lu Jun's defeat.
"The guy who humiliated us last time was beaten half to death by his parents. He's here to plead guilty. How satisfying!" After Lu Jun reported some things, he couldn't help but talk about the humiliation. If it wasn't for that, he might have missed Gu Zheng.
Speaking of which, fate was really strange. If he didn't meet Gu Zheng, what if Gu Zheng left after getting what he wanted? Then their Water Clan would be finished.
Now, he was still in charge of the entire Water Clan, and Yu Ye was still teaching him from behind. It seemed like he was grooming him as the successor.
"As long as you are strong, you can win the respect of others. You have to cultivate more. Go and call Yingshao over. I have some things to ask her!" Gu Zheng gave a simple warning.
"Yes!"
Soon, Yingshao rushed in from outside with a face full of excitement.
On the day Gu Zheng returned, she happened to be hiding in the underground river and sleeping. In the end, Luo Xin did not find her. When she came looking for her again, Gu Zheng had closed his door and refused to see anyone. It was only now that she saw him.
"Elder Gu, I missed you so much. You've been in seclusion for so long this time. It's even longer than the time I sleep!" Yingshao said happily as she threw herself beside Gu Zheng's chair.
"Then how long did you sleep?" Gu Zheng asked deliberately.
"Mm, the longest I slept was a year. If it wasn't for my stomach being too hungry, I would definitely be able to sleep!" Yingshao said after thinking for a while.
"Amazing!" Gu Zheng gave her a thumbs up. Looking at her proud face, he continued, "Did you find out the information I asked you to?"
Previously, Gu Zheng had given her a very big task, which was to get some information from Luo Xin. Since Luo Xin was able to hang out with Fan Yu, she must know a lot of secrets.
With Yingshao's naive and unpretentious attitude, as long as she asked, no one would suspect her motives.
"I found out. Sister Luo Xin even told me a lot of stories. It was really exciting. However, I feel that it's too dangerous. I'm a little scared!" Yingshao said excitedly at first. However, in the end, her expression turned into one of worry, as if she was facing a bloody storm outside.
"You can't always hide. Sooner or later, you'll have to face it yourself!" Gu Zheng said earnestly. However, Yingshao didn't seem to care at all.
"I'll just follow you, Elder. If there's anything that you can't solve, I can't do anything either. At worst, I'll hide again. No one will be able to find me. I'll hide with you as well!" Yingshao giggled.
"Oh right, I forgot. Sister Luo Xin told me that during that battle …"
Yingshao suddenly slapped herself on the head and hurriedly told him about what Gu Zheng had told her.
"It took me two years to get the information. Isn't that amazing!" Yingshao said proudly.
"Amazing. You can go now. Don't tell anyone about this! Do you understand? " Gu Zheng praised her again, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Yingshao smiled and nodded, then skipped away.
Seeing Yingshao leave, Gu Zheng stood up and walked outside.
The information that Yingshao found out did point him in the right direction. However, it was best for him to investigate it personally. However, now that the General was inside, he didn't have the confidence to sneak in under his nose.
The place where Elder Ye was being held was indeed on the other side of the General's Mansion. This made things very difficult for him.
Walking on the road outside, Gu Zheng looked at the humans who were cleaning up the surroundings. They cleaned up the weeds and other useless things, and moved away some rocks. In short, most of them weren't idle.
When some adults saw Gu Zheng walking over, they hurriedly knelt on the ground. Only after Gu Zheng left did they dare to get up and continue doing what they were doing.
Gu Zheng didn't ask them about their matters. Even if their clothes weren't neat and they were a little yellow and skinny, he couldn't change their status by himself. If he rashly asked them, it would only bring disaster to them.
Their current situation was much better than South Goblin City.
At least, the Water Tribe was gentle and wouldn't beat them up for no reason.
While they were walking, a bird suddenly flew in from the entrance and shouted loudly.
"Emergency order! Emergency order! "
His sharp voice reverberated throughout the valley, ensuring that everyone could hear what he was saying.
Gu Zheng flashed and blocked in front of him. The bird flapped his wings wildly and almost crashed into Gu Zheng. Even so, he didn't dare to say anything because he had seen the battle a few years ago. Of course, he knew who this person in front of him was.
"What's going on?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Elder Gu, the General has issued an order. All the tribes belonging to South Goblin City are to gather at the Southern Pass within three months and prepare for battle." The bird spoke in human language.
At this time, Yu Ye and the other two also heard the voice and flew up from the water below. They happened to hear the bird's words.
"Why is it so fast this time? Is there going to be a battle again?" Yao Yu asked in confusion. At the same time, he looked to the side in confusion. However, he saw Yu Ye shaking his head at him, indicating that he didn't know.
"According to previous records, every battle would be at least a hundred years apart, and the longest would not exceed five thousand years. Then, they would launch an attack on the opposite side. However, only fifteen years have passed this time, which is way ahead of schedule. It's really strange!" Pi Yuanlong said slowly.
"I don't know either. I'm just passing on the order. This time, it's very sudden. All the tribes have been notified!" The bird saw that the four of them were looking at him and quickly said.
"Got it. We won't be late!" Yu Ye replied when he saw that he couldn't get anything out of the bird.
As the bird flew away, Gu Zheng turned his attention to the three of them.
"Elder, we'll talk about it later. Yao Yu, go find Lu Jun and ask Zong Hua and the others to gather at the Southern Pass!" Yu Ye said directly. He knew that Gu Zheng didn't understand and would explain it to him later.
"You're still at home this time! Go and mobilize those people first. We'll set off in a few days. "Yu Ye turned to Pi Yuanlong and said.
Pi Yuanlong nodded and didn't say anything. He directly dove into the lake below and went down to inform those people.
"Elder, please! You'll understand after I explain it to you! "At this time, Yu Ye turned to Gu Zheng and said.
The two of them went down to the side. In fact, before they reached the hall that was specially used for the meeting, which was the place where Gu Zheng was before, Yu Ye had already finished his explanation.
It was similar to what Gu Zheng knew and didn't say much. However, it wasn't to destroy the other side. It was to train the soldiers that they started the battle together.
However, if the battle went well, they would also capture some humans back and use them as slaves.
However, if they went overboard, the Goblin guarding the opposite city would also send soldiers to chase them away.
It was completely different from what Xing Cai said. It was indeed a little strange. After such a long battle, how could the other side not know?
The only similarity was that the Goblin here wouldn't sacrifice too much. They would only retreat once they reached a certain point.
This strange thought flashed through Gu Zheng's mind. Perhaps they had a tacit understanding to suppress the human race again. This was the biggest possibility that came to his mind.
In short, Gu Zheng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. It seemed that it wasn't what he imagined. However, he didn't have any other clues at the moment and didn't know what it was specifically. He could only put it aside for now and wait for the future.
Soon, the Aquatics underground appeared on the surface one after another and lined up neatly. There were more than a thousand soldiers, but their cultivation was basically at Rank Four or Rank Five. There wasn't a single one lower than that. Perhaps their combat strength didn't meet the standard and couldn't stand out.
After these people were assembled, they followed Yu Ye's lead all the way south along the river and rushed towards the Southern Pass.
During this period, Gu Zheng didn't interfere at all and quietly followed the other party. It wasn't until the third day after they left the valley that he asked.
"It's so early. Isn't it a little too early for us to rush over so quickly?"
"It's not early. The General has a habit. The later someone comes, the more difficult the battle they will be sent to. Therefore, the earlier the better. If we don't come within three months, we'll have to wait for the General's personal greetings. We can't do anything else. If we can reduce our losses, we'll do it," Yu Ye said with an ugly expression.
How could there be no deaths in battle? It was just a matter of how many there were.
"Elder Gu, why don't you go first? There's no danger here!" Yu Ye suggested. Even if they sped up, it would take at least half a month for them to arrive.
"Alright, I'll go take a look first. If there's anything, contact me immediately." Gu Zheng thought about it and decided not to accompany them.
After saying that, Gu Zheng's figure separated from the group and turned into a blue light in the air before disappearing in front of the group.
A few days later, Gu Zheng, who was rushing at full speed, arrived at the east side of the Southern Goblin City once again.
In fact, the location of the Southern Goblin City was right in the middle of this huge canyon. After exiting the nearest city gate, it would only take a day's journey to reach the entrance of the canyon from the city gate.
When Gu Zheng arrived, many Goblin lone wolves were also walking in groups of three to five.
These people were free to move around and form teams to fight. Of course, the things they obtained would belong to them, but they couldn't interfere with the General's matters.
Under normal circumstances, the Goblin would be the first to launch an attack. In the long history of the humans, they had only taken the initiative to attack once, and they had suffered huge losses. Hence, they didn't go out and only relied on defense. Only this way could they minimize the greatest losses.
As he thought about it, Gu Zheng followed the flow of people and walked in. This canyon wasn't a straight line. Instead, it felt a little slanted. After walking for a while, there were only mountain walls left behind.
The outermost part of the Southern Pass Canyon was the widest, but the further one walked in, the narrower the two sides became. It was estimated that after walking for an hour, the width was only one-tenth of the original width. Both sides were almost at a right angle, and if one looked at the web, one could even see wisps of black fog blowing at the top.
Hei Feng completely dispelled any thoughts of climbing over. Countless transvestites had died above. As long as they went in, none of the weaker transvestites would be able to come out alive.
Even if some of the stronger ones managed to break through, they would be severely injured and unable to do much.
At this time, some guards in full black armor stood at the front and began to block the path of the unaffiliated people. Looking ahead, one could see that there was a wall that was dozens of feet high. It connected the two sides together and completely blocked the passage. However, there were several stone doors that were also dozens of feet high. They were now tightly closed.
These lone demons were all blocked here and weren't allowed to take a step forward.
At this time, there weren't many people, only a hundred or so in total. It didn't seem crowded.
And there weren't many people following behind. It looked like more demons had yet to arrive.
After all, it was still early. As the attackers, they had enough time to prepare.
Gu Zheng took out his identity card. After flashing it in front of the soldiers, he walked in smoothly.
