Long Tian didn't let Xing Ba wait for long as he quickly appeared in the house.
Looking at Gu Zheng's injuries and Hei Kun lying in the corner, he immediately understood what happened.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect something like this to happen." Long Tian apologized to Xing Ba as soon as he arrived.
"Now is not the time to apologize, but how did Gu Zheng end up like this? How did your young master kill him?" Xing Ba's expression relaxed, but he quickly said.
"My son is already dead, this is just his body, but let me interrogate him first." Long Tian briefly explained Hei Kun's situation, then stepped forward and pulled Hei Kun out.
When he killed his mother, the real Hei Kun had already died. No matter what, Long Tian would never admit that he had become like this.
Hei Kun, who was awakened from his coma, looked at Long Tian in front of him in a daze, then looked at the restraints on his body. The next moment, he directly knelt on the ground with a "plop", not caring that there was an outsider.
"Father, I don't know why I became like this before. It was as if a black gas suddenly surged from the inside of my body to my head. Although I could feel it, I couldn't control my body. Please believe me!"
Hei Kun had a regretful expression, and even Xing Ba at the side felt that he might have fallen into Wen Tianhou's trap. However, he didn't say anything and continued to watch.
"Alright, now that this person has been injured by you, you should know what to do!" Long Tian's face tightened as he said coldly.
"I know, I know!" Hei Kun quickly nodded and threw out another piece of information. "In my previous memories, I know everything. Moreover, Wen Tianhou isn't himself at all. He was replaced long ago in order to create a gap. It seems like something wants to come out."
Xing Ba's eyes narrowed when he heard this. Wen Tianhou had been replaced long ago? Then where did the real him go? Could it be that from the very beginning of the war, someone else was prepared to replace him? No wonder he felt that Wen Tianhou seemed to have become a different person. Since the beginning of the war, Wen Tianhou didn't show up.
"Then go. After this matter, face the wall for a million years." Long Tian's expression relaxed as he said and removed the restraints on Hei Kun's body.
"I will definitely repent!" Hei Kun immediately promised and walked towards Gu Zheng.
In order to prevent any misunderstandings, her movements were done slowly. Once she had his heart, they could imprison her at any time.
Arriving in front of Gu Zheng, he looked at the dagger that was still shrouded in black mist. He slowly reached out his hand and drew a strange symbol in the air bit by bit. It fell into his palm, and then he slowly grabbed downwards.
"Pu!"
As the dagger flashed with a faint light, black blood spurted out from the abdomen of the dagger that Hei Kun pulled out.
Starlord, who was paying attention to this, felt relieved. As the dagger was pulled out, Gu Zheng's expression became slightly better at the same time.
However, at this moment, the situation suddenly changed.
Long Tian, who was behind him, reached out his hand without any warning. The symbol in Hei Kun's hand lit up almost at the same time and entered Gu Zheng's body again.
In the next moment, Hei Kun's body was grabbed by Long Tian and pulled back. He was once again sealed.
"Haha, I knew that you wouldn't let me go. Although I pulled out my weapon, I placed a curse on the other party. This doesn't belong to the Great Desolate World. None of you can undo it. If you dare to do anything to me, even if the other party is a Grand Heavenly Immortal, he won't be able to escape death." Hei Kun said excitedly when he saw that he was being restrained.
"Looks like you want to suffer. Quickly undo it, and I can still let you die peacefully. Otherwise, you can just wait for a fate worse than death." Long Tian looked at Hei Kun and said coldly.
"Dream on. You've never treated me as your son from the start. You …" Hei Kun seemed to have gotten over it. He still had something to use against Long Tian. He started to curse at Long Tian, listing out all of his unhappiness.
Long Tian was so angry that his body was trembling, but he couldn't do anything to him.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, a trembling sound rang out in the air, attracting everyone's attention.
They all looked towards the source of the sound, only to discover that it was coming from Gu Zheng. A bright light shone from his chest, and in the next moment, an adorable little girl floated in the air. The lantern in her hand emitted a faint green light, illuminating the room in a miserable green color.
"Who are you? What happened to my young master? " That girl was none other than Xiao Ying, who had just appeared. She looked around and saw that Gu Zheng was unconscious. Only then did she ask anxiously.
When she was separated from Duan Chen below, she had already been instructed to follow Gu Zheng. Only then would she be able to survive safely outside. It was very dangerous to be alone. After all, her form was still that of a ghost.
"The other party was ambushed. It seems like only he can undo it." Xing Ba clearly saw a corner of a scroll peeking out from Gu Zheng's chest. The sound just now also came from there. It seemed like it was something that Gu Zheng had obtained.
"Let me tell you, other than me, no one can touch it. This is a unique magic from that place. You won't be able to break it even if you force it. Haha!" Hei Kun seemed to have grasped everyone's weakness. He stood there proudly as if he was the victor.
Xiao Ying looked at Long Tian and Xing Ba's angry yet powerless expressions and seemed to understand something. She turned around and flew into the air, looking at Gu Zheng below.
The green light from the lantern in her hand suddenly shone brightly. A green light fell from the lantern and slowly covered Gu Zheng's body as if it was confirming something.
"Phew, that scared me. So it was the Blood Shadow Curse."
After a while, Xiao Ying's expression relaxed and she let out a sigh of relief.
"How did you know it was the Blood Shadow Curse? It doesn't belong to this place." Hei Kun was stunned and said in disbelief.
"You're a specter? How is that possible? How did you appear here? You didn't come out from below? You actually recognized someone else as your master. " Hei Kun didn't care about other people's expressions. He had an astonished expression as if he had seen something inconceivable.
"No, no, you didn't come out from below. You were born in the world above. How is that possible? How is that possible?" Hei Kun began to struggle violently. The astonishment in his eyes had turned into great shock. He seemed to know something.
"Behave yourself!" Long Tian heavily patted Hei Kun's body and added another layer of magic. Hei Kun couldn't move or speak.
"Can you help your Young Master heal his injuries?" Long Tian asked Xiao Ying.
"Yes, this is a low-level incantation. I have this incantation in my memories. It is indeed not easy to break. However, it will take a long time. During this time, I will be very weak." Xiao Ying threw the lantern in her hand. It floated above Gu Zheng's head and spun around.
Strands of green light slowly fell from above. However, it didn't seem to have any effect.
"Little friend, leave his comfort to us. No one can harm him." Star Tyrant revealed a bit of his aura to the side and said.
"Alright, I'll leave everything to you." Xiao Ying felt the same aura from Xing Cai from Xing Ba. From their appearance, they should be father and daughter. This made her feel very relieved.
After speaking, Xiao Ying's hand made a grabbing motion. The picture scroll in Gu Zheng's bosom flew out with a whoosh. It suddenly expanded in midair. The whole picture scroll occupied more than half of the room. The only regret was that one corner of it was still pitch black.
Xiao Ying's body turned into a ball of green light and rushed into the picture scroll. She turned into a small person in the picture scroll. With a wave of her hand, a hole suddenly opened on the lantern. A large amount of green light came out and enveloped Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng's lying figure slowly floated up. Following the lantern, Gu Zheng's figure also appeared in the picture scroll. He was lying on the grass.
Then, Xiao Ying struggled to sit cross-legged on the side. She made several hand seals, and a stream of green water flew from the distant stream into the lantern.
The lantern flickered and absorbed all the water from the stream. It scattered down like flowers and landed evenly on Gu Zheng's body.
After doing all this, the whole picture scroll slowly shrunk. Finally, it returned to its normal size and fell on Gu Zheng's bed.
The only thing that was moving in the picture scroll was water. The rest looked no different from an ordinary picture scroll.
"There's hope now. If something really happened to him, I would have let down my brothers. Something like this could happen under my watch." Long Tian let out a sigh of relief.
Since it was something from Gu Zheng's body, it seemed to be quite reliable. Moreover, Xing Cai seemed to have unintentionally said that she was in the middle.
"Not to mention you, as long as there's a chance of survival, even if I go to the Heavenly Court or the Yellow Springs, I will save him. Heaven helps the worthy." Xing Ba said with a smile. He felt a lot more relaxed.
However, time was short. As long as the curse in Gu Zheng's body was broken, he could afford to wait.
"Okay, I will deal with this unfilial son first. His mother is still waiting for me outside. Since you can get rid of the black gas, then go according to your plan. I will take my demons and find a new place. If there is a chance in the future, let's meet again!" Long Tian cupped his hands and said to Xing Ba.
"If there's anything, for Gu Zheng's sake, take this and find me. No matter what, as long as I can help, I will do my best." Long Tian threw out a black dragon scale.
Just the resurrection of Madam Black Dragon already owed him a big favor. However, he secretly calculated and found that he couldn't calculate anything. It seemed that it would be very difficult to repay, so he might as well give it to Xing Ba.
No matter what, he still had a relationship with Gu Zheng, his temporary father-in-law. He understood the reason.
With Gu Zheng in the middle, Long Tian became much more friendly to Xing Ba. It was completely different from his cold attitude before.
This time, there were many Goblin that escaped from Black Dragon City. They definitely wouldn't stay together. The moment they separated from here was also the time for them to fly away.
"Okay, goodbye!" Xing Ba nodded. He didn't even look at the ashen-faced Hei Kun. As for how to deal with it, that was their internal matter.
Long Tian didn't say anything. In the next moment, he disappeared with Hei Kun.
Xing Ba carefully took the picture scroll and left the room. As for the celebration, it continued to be held to ease everyone's hearts.
As for Gu Zheng's matter, it was quietly suppressed. Other than a few people, no one knew what Gu Zheng had done.
After the celebration, the huge group began to move slowly. At this time, Long Tian and the others had completely left. Even You Hao and the others had left.
After seeing Lady Half Dream, their remaining will decided to be loyal to her. In their opinion, Lord Black Dragon could no longer disappear from this world. Lady Half Dream, who had inherited the Dao Crystal, was the most orthodox. After all, they were transformed from Black Dragons.
Only Old Man Mo and a small group of people stayed here. Other than his people, no one else was here.
Only half a month later, while he was meditating, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw a somewhat battered person appear in front of him.
"Master!"
"It's good that you're fine. I thought you were dead." The person's expression was somewhat ugly. However, after seeing that Old Man Mo was uninjured, he relaxed a lot.
"I borrowed someone's good fortune. You know him too. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to come back," Old Man Mo immediately said respectfully. He recalled what had happened along the way and sighed.
"However, the hole here has been completely patched up. However, the thing you gave me was useless. I didn't find the other party's hiding place." At this time, Old Man Mo took out an item and handed it over.
"Yes, it's fine as long as it's sealed. The other party will have one less breakthrough point and the world will suffer less disaster. If they really come out, we're the closest and can't avoid being implicated. I wonder who's so powerful?" Old Man Mo's master casually tossed the item and it turned into a ball of golden light and disappeared into the distance.
"It's my little friend, Gu Zheng, who helped me. He's also the creator of the white crystal! However, he's injured now. I don't know when he'll wake up, "Old Man Mo immediately said.
"Him? You don't have to worry. The other party's good fortune is enough to pass through this time. It seems like we still owe him a favor. Other than his location, we'll still set up our stronghold. Next, we'll seal our place and withdraw everyone. After we return, let those who want to go out go out.
"Master, what are you doing?" Old Man Mo asked in surprise.
"You're thinking too much. It's just a feeling in my heart. If you want to reach the limit, you're still far from it. Alright, let's return together. We'll send someone to contact that place later."
After that, Old Man Mo and the others flew into the distance and disappeared as well.
.....
In the blink of an eye, three thousand years had passed. Many things had already been forgotten in history.
Tens of thousands of miles away from the former Cloud Dream Swamp, a new city had been built. It seemed to have been built in an isolated place in the wilderness. It was separated from the other human countries nearby. If an ordinary person wanted to go out, they would need at least a month to get close to the other side's border.
Not far behind this city was a huge forest. It was rich in resources. An underground water channel was drawn around the city, which was enough for them to use.
There was a huge city here that accommodated millions of people. It was said that there were immortals here. Moreover, the surrounding weather was good. More and more people traveled through mountains and rivers to settle down here.
In the center of this city, there was a seven-story tower with dense eaves. It wasn't shaped like a pagoda. Instead, it looked more like an altar.
There were empty buildings thousands of meters below. Every day, there would be people praying below, hoping that they would be chosen as a member of the city's guards.
It was said that they could cultivate a mysterious power, which made many people yearn for it.
And what they were worshipping was a shining shield on top of it. It was constantly emitting a fearful aura, making people revere it.
"We should go. I'll leave the rest to you." At this moment, at the top, there were a few people looking at the densely packed population below. Among them, Xing Ba said reluctantly.
After thousands of years of difficult development, everything in the past had passed. Now, the people here, after many generations of inheritance, had almost completely forgotten about the past. Only those who had lived for a long time still knew, as if it was right in front of them. However, most of them had already left this place and went to Xing Cai's island by the sea.
Man Tian nodded and said solemnly, "I know. I'll be here. Young Master won't be harmed."
After coming into contact with the human world, they knew that they couldn't interact too much with the people below. They had to give their authority to the people below. With their cultivation, they weren't allowed to truly participate.
Now that the City Lord Manor had been set up, they had already lived behind the scenes. Most of them had already left this place.
With the endless supply of food from Old Man Mo below and the things they grew here, they were able to enjoy themselves. It was like a paradise that everyone yearned for.
"This letter is for Gu Zheng. When the time comes, he will naturally make his choice. Then, I will take my leave." Xing Ba took out a letter from his bosom and sighed when he thought of Xing Cai.
Man Tian took the letter and said, "I will stay here until he wakes up!"
Xing Ba nodded. In the next moment, his figure disappeared.
Man Tian took a few steps forward and looked into the distance. More than ten black dots were looking at him. After sighing, he walked down.
On the lower floor, there was a spacious hall. On one of the walls, there was a very ordinary picture scroll hanging on the wall. The scene on the scroll had not changed for three thousand years. The surroundings were densely engraved with Spirit Guiding Arrays, all of which were gathered on the picture scroll.
On the other side, there was a seemingly indifferent old man sitting on the ground. When he saw Man Tian arrive, he only raised his eyelids and closed his eyes to continue meditating.
Man Tian didn't mind. The old man was an emissary left behind to guard this place. His cultivation was only at the Jin Xian Middle Stage. He was only here to watch over the entrance and train some simple guards. In fact, they were former believer warriors.
After a period of time, many of the former guards returned. After all, they didn't make any progress above.
He only knew that some changes had happened below, but it wasn't a bad thing. He didn't ask about anything else.
Looking at the painting in front of him, Man Tian didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he sighed and flew outside.
He also had plans to go into seclusion. He was going to use the Scarlet Soul Pill that Gu Zheng gave him to make a breakthrough.
From now on, there would be no trace of them in this city.
Unless it was a critical moment, they wouldn't come out.
