"Elder Gu, it's all thanks to you that we were able to escape so easily this time!"
Man Li and Gu Zheng were flying in the sky when they suddenly expressed their gratitude.
"If not for your cover, we wouldn't have had enough time to cast it." Gu Zheng didn't take the credit and told them the truth.
Man Li didn't say much. It was fine as long as he knew. In any case, he couldn't delay the other side's large-scale spells.
They slightly adjusted their direction and continued forward. Although they were taking a detour, they could avoid the danger and wouldn't implicate their subordinates who had just escaped.
"They are still chasing us. Be careful before we return!"
The two thought that the other side wouldn't chase them, but as soon as they slowed down, they quickly discovered the Divine Sense behind them and had no choice but to increase their speed once again.
"No problem, at this speed, we should have enough time to return. I'm afraid the other side thinks that we have exhausted too much energy and are unwilling to give up. We should be able to recover after a while," Man Li said.
After an entire day, the Divine Sense was still faintly following them, as if it was waiting for them to give up.
Gu Zheng didn't care about it and kept flying forward. They would be able to return to the general's territory in two days at most, and the other side wouldn't dare to chase them.
But something unexpected quickly happened. While they were flying, a silhouette suddenly appeared in front of them and rushed straight at them.
When they got closer, they saw that it was actually a peak Jin Xian. From the looks of it, the other side was rushing towards them.
While they were still quite a distance away, the human opposite them waved his hand, and flames filled the sky, turning into fire dragons that rushed towards them.
This caused their already pale faces to turn even paler. They looked at each other with an unsightly expression.
It wasn't that the two of them couldn't resist at all. In fact, if they had enough time, the two of them would be able to quickly kill him.
But what they lacked right now was time. There were a few fiends following them, and if they were entangled by the other side, the two of them wouldn't be able to escape even if they had wings.
"You go first, I'll block them." At this time, before Man Li could make a decision, Gu Zheng's voice came from the side.
"Are you crazy? You're basically dead now that you've been blocked!" Man Li looked at Gu Zheng in disbelief. He felt that the other party was joking. "Why don't the two of us fight it out and rush over?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, golden light shone from the man's body again, and a huge statue projection appeared in the air above him. It quickly solidified, and a burst of golden light wrapped around the two of them.
"Stop talking nonsense. The other party isn't made of mud. How can he break through just like that? If we delay for even a moment, neither of us will be able to escape." Gu Zheng's hurried voice rang out.
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, the other side took out another magic treasure. Clearly, they knew that all they had to do was stall them.
Seeing that Man Li was still hesitating, Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and pushed Man Li. Man Li's figure instantly changed direction and flew to the other side.
"Gu Zheng!" Man Li looked back and saw that Gu Zheng had already sped up and rushed towards the enemy ahead. He destroyed the fire dragon blocking his way with a punch and attracted the attention of the enemy who wanted to attack Man Li.
He knew that he would only be letting down Gu Zheng's sacrifice if he went over. Feeling touched, he sped up. He was not far from the other side. If he was faster, he might be able to find reinforcements and rescue Gu Zheng.
Just fifteen minutes after he left, there was a huge explosion behind him. He could feel it even from so far away.
"Hold on!"
Man Li said to himself as he sped up again.
In less than a day, Man Li arrived at the Left General's camp.
He rushed into the middle tent at lightning speed, but he did not see the Left General.
"Where's the general?" Man Li's eyes were red as he grabbed a guard beside him and asked.
"The general went out a few days ago. He seems to be fighting with the human Grand Heavenly. He hasn't returned yet." The guard's heart trembled when he saw the scarlet eyes and answered without hesitation.
"Damn it, why is it so unlucky."
Man Li put down the guard and said angrily.
"What's going on? I saw you barging in and thought that someone dared to ambush us. You were so reckless. " At this moment, a figure hurriedly rushed over from a distance. After seeing Man Li, he grumbled to himself.
"What's wrong? You look so angry. What happened? Could it be that you lost all your subordinates? "
When Man Li turned around, the figure saw Man Li's anxious expression and red eyes, which made him jump in fright. He hurriedly asked.
"No, Elder Gu, who was with me, was attacked by five people in order to help me!" Man Li knew that this was one of Fan Lang's subordinates.
Qu Rong was not weak either. He was at the late-stage of Jin Xian's cultivation. However, even with him, they were unable to save Gu Zheng.
"Patriarch Fan is leading the others in a fierce battle. Otherwise, we could have gone together." Qu Rong said regretfully.
"We can only wait for the general to return."
"I don't know when the general will return. I'm afraid it will be too late!" Man Li said dejectedly.
"There's nothing we can do. However, the general has been out for a long time. Perhaps he will return soon." Qu Rong comforted him.
Man Li had no other choice. He could only suppress his emotions and wait.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. Man Li had been standing outside the camp, trying to adjust his state while waiting for the general's return. From time to time, he would look into the distance, hoping that Gu Zheng would escape in surprise.
However, as time passed, Gu Zheng's chances of survival decreased little by little. This made Man Li feel very uncomfortable.
"Elder Man, Patriarch Fan is in a fierce battle. He asked me to ask for your assistance."
While he was waiting silently, Qu Rong flew over from the distance and hurriedly said to Man Li.
"I still have to wait for the general!" Man Li subconsciously refused.
"Elder Man, I really need your help now. Can I help you look after the general? Once he returns, I will immediately tell him to rescue Elder Gu. "Qu Rong said anxiously.
Originally, Man Li didn't want to agree. However, when he saw that Qu Rong's breathing was chaotic and half of his body was covered in blood, he immediately nodded.
"Alright, help me look after him. I will go over there to help!" Man Li stood up and said to Qu Rong.
"No problem. Don't worry. As long as the general returns, he will definitely report your matter." Qu Rong said happily.
"Alright, I will go now!"
As soon as Man Li finished speaking, he rushed to the other side of the battlefield and quickly appeared in front of Qu Rong with a smile.
"Sigh, he was besieged by five people. I'm afraid that by this time, there would be nothing left of him." Qu Rong thought about Gu Zheng with regret.
This Water Tribe Elder was really unlucky. He had just come out of the mountain and was already surrounded by people. He deserved to die.
Due to Fan Lang's influence, he also found Gu Zheng an eyesore. However, no matter how much he disliked Gu Zheng, he still had to fulfill Man Li's request. He quietly stayed at Man Li's place and recuperated from his injuries.
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. At this time, Qu Rong felt that the battle was about to end and his injuries were about to heal. He stood up and looked into the distance. However, he was still very calm.
The general had not returned and the Water Tribe Elder had not returned. There was probably no hope for them to return.
Qu Rong was hesitating whether he should go back first. Suddenly, he saw a green light chasing after him at an extremely fast speed. Behind the green light, there was a black light chasing after him. The distance between the two was very close. In the blink of an eye, the people behind him could catch up.
"The Water Tribe Elder!"
Qu Rong took a closer look. It was actually the Water Tribe Elder. He didn't expect the other party to escape.
However, at this time, he saw Gu Zheng's face turn pale again. It seemed that he had exhausted all his strength. His speed suddenly decreased. The black man behind him was overjoyed. He stabbed the black spear in his hand towards Gu Zheng's back.
At the critical moment, Gu Zheng suddenly mustered up a strength that he didn't know where it came from. His whole body once again rushed forward and dodged the opponent's attack.
However, the sharp Spear Qi cut a big wound on his back. Blood continued to flow out from it.
Qu Rong saw that if he didn't take action, Gu Zheng would probably die halfway. Thinking of this, he continuously shot out light from his hand. In just a blink of an eye, a white giant python formed in front of him and rushed towards the enemy behind Gu Zheng.
This way, the enemy would not have a chance to attack Gu Zheng.
At this time, a familiar aura came from the distance. It seemed that Man Li and his companions had rushed over. If the other party didn't know what was good for them, he would probably fall here.
"Good job!" When Man Li saw this from afar, his face was full of smiles. He didn't expect Gu Zheng to really rush out. Seeing Qu Rong's actions, he immediately shouted. He didn't have a chance to rescue Gu Zheng.
Beside Man Li was Fan Lang. When he saw this scene, he felt a little regretful. He couldn't not save Qu Rong. If Qu Rong still hit him when he was down, not to mention the general, even he couldn't forgive him. Even if this person was the person he hated the most.
Even the enemy chasing behind saw this scene, his pupils shrank slightly. His whole body began to slow down. It seemed that he was preparing to escape.
But at this time, something unexpected happened.
When the white giant python passed by Gu Zheng, its tail gently turned and blocked in front of Gu Zheng.
"Bang!"
Gu Zheng's whole body collided with the python without any warning. Although it wasn't aimed at him and didn't cause much damage, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng's figure stopped in an instant. At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of blood, dying his chest red.
The unlucky man behind him didn't hesitate. After breaking through the white dragon blocking him, he threw the long spear in his hand again. This time, he didn't give Gu Zheng any time to react. The spear instantly pierced through his chest.
Originally, it was aimed at Gu Zheng's heart. As a result, Gu Zheng's body moved slightly and missed by a hair's breadth.
However, the unlucky man didn't hesitate. Even if the other party was dead this time, he didn't have the thought of perishing together with the other party. In an instant, he desperately fled to the back.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other party hadn't rushed over, he quickly disappeared.
On the other side, the angry Man Li appeared beside Gu Zheng in the next moment. He didn't chase after the unlucky man at all.
At this time, Gu Zheng's whole body wasn't very good. His eyes were half closed and he was in a somewhat unconscious state. His aura was also very weak.
Without saying anything, Man Li took out a precious pill and fed it to Gu Zheng.
Seeing Gu Zheng's aura gradually stabilizing, Man Li let out a sigh of relief. However, now wasn't the time to relax. At this time, he felt that Gu Zheng's body was very chaotic. If it wasn't treated in time, it would leave behind irreversible injuries.
Looking at the stupefied Qu Rong, Man Li's eyes flashed with anger. However, he still carried Gu Zheng and flew towards the camp.
Naturally, he would slowly settle his debt with him.
"What's wrong with you?" Fan Lang's face was also gloomy as he asked Qu Rong.
"Patriarch Fan, I really didn't want to stop him. I just wanted to stop the enemy behind him." Qu Rong asked timidly when he sensed the aura from Fan Lang's body, which was similar to the aura from the battlefield.
"But is it wrong for me to see it with my own eyes? What were you thinking? Didn't I repeatedly tell you not to provoke him? If Man Li returns and tells the general, I won't be able to protect you! "Fan Lang looked at Qu Rong as if he was looking at a dead man and said coldly.
"Patriarch, you have to save me. I really didn't want to harm him. Even if you gave me several guts, I wouldn't dare to do this in this place." When Qu Rong thought of the Left General's methods, his body trembled and he immediately begged for help.
"If you really didn't want to harm him, I suggest that you let the general use the Soul Searching Technique. Although your strength has dropped after tens of thousands of years, at least your life will be preserved. However, if you have any evil thoughts in your heart, your death will be even more painful." Fan Lang stared into Qu Rong's eyes and said.
"I'm willing, I'm willing!" Relatively speaking, this was indeed the fastest but also the most painful test. However, he didn't know why his attack had stopped Gu Zheng and almost killed him. If he didn't want to die a wrongful death, this was the only way he could do it.
"That's good. When the general returns, come with me to ask for forgiveness!" Seeing Qu Rong like this, Fan Lang understood a bit. Qu Rong probably didn't have any other thoughts. Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but more likely, the other party had strangely controlled his magic.
A month later, in a temporary tent, the unconscious Gu Zheng finally opened his eyes.
"Thank the heavens, you finally woke up. Otherwise, I would have let you down." When Gu Zheng woke up, Man Li said guiltily.
If it wasn't for Gu Zheng covering him, he wouldn't have fallen to such a state.
"It's fine. I just need to rest for a while!" Gu Zheng said weakly.
"If you recuperate like this, you probably won't be able to move for at least a few thousand years." Man Li naturally knew about Gu Zheng's injuries. It could be said that he had barely kept his life. His body was already riddled with holes, but he was still in his best condition after a few thousand years. If it was him, he probably wouldn't be able to move for tens of thousands of years.
"Cough cough, I'll just go into seclusion for a while. However, I'm a bit worried about the Water Tribe!" Gu Zheng tried to sit up, but it caused a burst of pain in his chest, causing him to lie down again.
"Don't worry. In the future, leave the matters of the Water Tribe to me." Man Li patted his chest and promised.
"That's really troublesome. I really didn't expect that I would almost die in the end!" Gu Zheng sighed in relief and said happily.
"The Left General has already investigated your matter. The other party didn't have any intention of harming you. The biggest possibility is that the enemy controlled his magic."
Before Gu Zheng woke up, Man Li had already seen everything and knew that Qu Rong didn't do it on purpose.
"Cough cough, I know. Otherwise, that magic would have fallen on my head and I would have really died!" Gu Zheng reluctantly showed a trace of a smile.
"Don't say anymore. Rest well. I've already asked the General to send you back when you wake up."
Seven days later, Man Li left with a slightly better Gu Zheng. He didn't need to participate in the battle in the future. However, the battle was already nearing its end and would probably end in a few months.
With Man Li's full speed, he sent Gu Zheng to the entrance of the canyon in a few days. Of course, Yu Ye and the others didn't know about this. They just said that Gu Zheng had gone to do a secret thing.
"You can go back. Thank you for escorting me back. Don't delay the battle. I'll take care of the rest myself!" Gu Zheng said to Man Li outside the canyon.
After a few days of rest, at least he had some strength. He wasn't as vain as he was when he first woke up, unable to sit up.
"Okay, if you need anything, don't be polite!" Man Li nodded and said solemnly.
"If I really need anything, I won't be polite. But right now, the most important thing is to recuperate. I'm afraid that the next time we meet will be tens of thousands of years apart." Gu Zheng said with a wry smile.
"I hope you come out as soon as possible so that we can drink until we're drunk. Goodbye!" Man Li didn't say anything else and quickly left towards the sky.
After Gu Zheng watched the other party completely disappear in front of him, he slowly walked towards the canyon.
At this time, the canyon was silent. It was time for everyone to rest. There were only a few people outside.
Gu Zheng hid his body and quietly went to a corner of the mountain wall.
There was no difference between hiding here and other places. Even if you used your hand to knock, as long as you didn't break the thick layer of stone, you wouldn't find anything unusual.
After carefully observing that no one was paying attention, Gu Zheng turned around and walked towards the edge of the wall. A ripple rose from the wall and in the next moment, Gu Zheng was swallowed.
"Elder Gu?"
Just as he entered, an uncertain voice sounded in the air.
This was a relatively spacious cave. At the top, there was a hazy luminous pearl that illuminated this small place.
The only thing that was different was that there was a small pool in the middle. It wasn't big nor deep. It was probably too small for a bath.
At this time, a young girl was lying on the edge of the pool, looking at the figure coming in. Because the light couldn't reach there, she could only see a figure there.
"It's me, Yingshao. Don't worry!"
