"Young Master! There doesn't seem to be anyone else here. "
Xiao Ying walked over and asked doubtfully.
"What you see may not be true," Gu Zheng chuckled and continued, "Are you going to continue hiding?"
Following Gu Zheng's threatening tone, in the distant open space, the burnt corpse suddenly burst into raging flames once again.
Soon, Captain Red, whom Xiao Ying and the others thought had been burnt to death, appeared before them once more. Apart from her slightly pale face, she did not seem to have any other injuries.
"Young Master Gu, spare me!"
Captain Red begged Gu Zheng for mercy the moment she appeared, not even making a move to run.
"Do you think that you're still alive right now isn't the result of my mercy?" Gu Zheng coldly snorted. Looking at Xiao Ying who was approaching him, he flipped his hand and handed her a medicinal pill. Xiao Ying received it and swallowed it without hesitation. Only then did a trace of color return to her face.
"Thank you, Young Master Gu, for sparing my life. I know what to do." Captain Red was overjoyed. From Gu Zheng's tone, she understood the meaning behind his words and hurriedly thanked him.
She looked at the corpses around her. Apart from her, there was no one else who survived. She understood how vicious and merciless the other party was. She slowly retreated. After putting some distance between them, she ran back as if her life depended on it.
Gu Zheng simply watched her. He did not act like a cat toying with a mouse, deliberately giving her hope and then destroying it. He simply watched as she disappeared into the distance.
"Young Master Gu, why did you let her go? This way, the other party will know about you. Moreover, some of our plans will be leaked by her. " Leng Xin hesitated to speak, but in the end, she could not hold back the question in her heart and directly asked.
"Don't worry. Other than one person, no one else will know about us." Gu Zheng recalled Pan Xuan, the one who had taken a risk in the tower, which had allowed them to obtain that item.
This Captain Red also had Pan Xuan's aura. Even the hairpin in her hair was Pan Xuan's item. There was an eighty to ninety percent chance that she was her personal maid.
Otherwise, how could she have escaped so easily?
However, Gu Zheng did not explain too much. Instead, he continued to ask about the previous topic.
"You said that all of you are here? Could it be that there are many people below? "
Leng Xin looked around and said to Gu Zheng, "Young Master Gu, this is not the place to talk. Why don't we go back together? At that time, you'll naturally know what happened.
"Alright! Lead the way! "Gu Zheng said after a moment's thought....
Five days later, in a small mountain range a thousand miles away from here, three people were shuttling through the lush forest. Soon, they stopped halfway up a mountain.
"It's here!" Leng Xin said respectfully to Gu Zheng. His injuries had already healed with Gu Zheng's help.
Gu Zheng looked at the unassuming mountain before him. At the same time, he scanned his surroundings. However, he did not discover anything suspicious. It would appear that the other party's concealment skills were quite good.
On the other side, Leng Xin walked forward and quickly knocked on an exposed rock for more than ten times according to different weights. Along with a rumbling sound, a cave as wide as two people appeared in front of Gu Zheng.
.................
"Young Master Gu, please!"
Leng Xin said and took the lead to walk in.
"They're really well hidden. Who can find them?" Xiao Ying whispered to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng smiled and did not reply. He led her and followed Leng Xin in.
Although the passage was narrow, it was not long. After walking for a while, a spacious cave appeared in front of them.
"Leng Xin, why did you come back at this time? We all thought that you were captured by the other party and were thinking of ways to find you!"
Gu Zheng was still in the passage when he heard an anxious voice in front of him.
"I met the other party's ambush. If not for the help of a noble, I would not have been able to come back." Leng Xin's voice sounded at the same time.
"The help of a noble? There are people in this place who dare to go against the other party? " Another voice sounded, seemingly puzzled. "Are they not afraid of Shura's revenge? They are the strongest here. I don't know why they sent so many people here."
"You know them too. You'll know when you see them." Leng Xin said with a smile.
As he spoke, Gu Zheng and Xiao Ying's figures appeared.
"Young Master Gu!"
The two people looked over and their eyes widened at the same time. They shouted in surprise.
They never thought that they would see him here.
Gu Zheng glanced at them. They were very unfamiliar, but they should be people who came out from below. They should be sleeping with Elder Xiong.
"I'm glad to see you. I came here to do something and happened to meet Brother Leng Xin. That's why I saved him." Gu Zheng said to the two of them with a smile.
"I see. No matter what, you saved his life this time. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to repay you." The person on the left was a one-armed man. One of his arms was broken at the shoulder. It seemed that he had not found a way to recover it.
"It's nothing. Besides, we're all on the same side. There's no need to be so polite." Gu Zheng said modestly.
"Don't just stand here. Since Leng Xin is back, we can rest assured. Let's go in quickly. This place is simply to confuse the other party's position." The other was a man with two horns on his head. He also laughed heartily. One look at his unique eyes and one could tell that he was not human.
Gu Zheng followed them and circled around this place. Finally, they arrived at an even more hidden cave entrance. A new world appeared in front of Gu Zheng.
"It's so beautiful!"
Xiao Ying could not help but exclaim as soon as she came out.
At this time, in front of Gu Zheng was a relatively narrow valley. They stood halfway up the mountain and had a panoramic view of the bottom.
Many wildflowers bloomed all over the valley, competing to be the first to show off their beauty. It was as if one was in a sea of flowers, and in the middle, there was actually a very clean pool. Under a few lush trees around it, there were a few simple houses hidden below.
It was like living in a secluded garden.
However, there were mountains all around. There was no direct way to get here. Even if one flew through the air, under the cover of those lush trees, it was very likely that one would miss this place.
If one was an ordinary person, they would first starve to death here.
However, these people had long surpassed the scope of ordinary people.
"You're tired of looking here every day. Young Master Gu, let's go down. Some of our companions are here. They will be very happy to see you."
The one-armed man was called Keymark. Seeing Xiao Ying looking here with some yearning, he smiled at her and then said to Gu Zheng.
Their appearance also alarmed the people here. Not only did a few people come out of the houses, but a few people also came out of the mountain wall next to them and gathered in the middle.
Without exception, everyone was filled with a tyrannical aura.
However, halfway through, those people looked at Gu Zheng. Their eyes were basically shocked at first, then looked at Gu Zheng with gratitude.
Xiao Ying, of course, could feel the other party's gaze. She could not help but raise her head and ask curiously, "Young Master, why do they respect you so much? Did you do something big in the past?"
"I did something in the past. Then, by chance, I saved everyone. It's just a small matter." Gu Zheng thought of that time. At that time, he also saved himself. In the end, he watched them escape. There was nothing to be proud of.
"Oh!"
Xiao Ying said. She did not believe that it was as easy as Gu Zheng said. However, if Gu Zheng did not want to say, she could not do anything. However, she was really curious. In the past, Gu Zheng did not seem to have told her in detail.
Soon, Gu Zheng and the others arrived below. Then, the people there began to talk.
"Young Master Gu, I did not expect to see you here."
"Young Master Gu, if you need anything, I will definitely not refuse."
The people below began to talk at the same time, surrounding Gu Zheng.
"Why are you so anxious? Young Master Gu only came here for other matters. Quickly go and rest. In a few days, we will be making a big move. Quickly adjust your condition." Another person, Hua Feng, coaxed and chased away those people. Then, he turned to Gu Zheng and said.
"We have made a fool of ourselves in front of Young Master Gu. Everyone is very grateful for what you did. Although it was simple, we can still rest for a while."
"It's fine. Now, can you tell me why you all gathered together again?" Gu Zheng followed them into a slightly bigger room. Other than a table and chairs, there was not a single decoration. Gu Zheng sat on one of the chairs and waited for everyone to sit down before asking.
"Actually? It's nothing much. Everyone used to be together and had some feelings for each other. Then, one of our friends was captured by the Shura people. The few of us gathered together and prepared to rescue him. Leng Xin went to scout for information and was accidentally discovered by the Shura people. Fortunately, Young Master Gu came to the rescue. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. "
Kun Yu saw that Keymark was about to speak and immediately spoke first.
"So it was like that. I thought it was something big. If you need my help, just say it." Gu Zheng said with a smile. He did not seem to realize that Kun Yu was deliberately hiding something. It was obvious that Kun Yu did not want to drag him into this mess.
"It's not a big problem. This time, we received Young Master Gu's help and obtained detailed information about the Shura people. When the time comes, we will catch them off guard. After rescuing them, we will immediately leave this place. The Shura people will not be able to find us." Kun Yu's face revealed a confident expression.
After all, they were going for a surprise attack and not a siege. Everything had been planned. They were just waiting for Leng Xin to return.
"That's good. I didn't expect so many people to gather together. It's really not easy." Gu Zheng said with a sigh. He also consciously avoided the topic.
Xiao Ying gradually listened to their conversation. Her originally perked ears fell down because she did not know where they were talking about.
Thus, she quietly walked outside. It was really boring to stay here.
It was not until half a day later that Gu Zheng came out of the room. Seeing Xiao Ying playing with water, he directly called her over.
"Young Master, are we leaving?"
Xiao Ying ran over excitedly. Then, she evaporated all the water on her body and asked Gu Zheng.
"We will rest here for a night and then leave!" Gu Zheng did not hide his voice at all. In addition, the sky was already dark. He brought Xiao Ying over.
In one of their temporary rooms, Gu Zheng was listening to Xiao Ying telling him all the information she had gathered. Finally, Xiao Ying said excitedly, "That's right.
"Young Master, if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have known that you were so powerful in the past. When you were still in Jin Xian, you were already able to kill a Grand Luo."
Listening to those people exaggerating about Gu Zheng's great achievements, Gu Zheng smiled helplessly. At that time, he was trembling with fear and wanted to leave.
In the end, it became everyone's fault. It was as if he had entered the inner circle and went through a lot of hardships and dangers to get them out of there.
Especially at the last stop, those people below the Grand Luo level all saw it. In addition to that, it was no wonder that those people were overly enthusiastic. This made him a little puzzled. He did not expect it to be like this. No wonder they did not want him to participate.
In the later conversation, they even wanted him to leave this place. "Don't praise me.
"Alright, there's no need for you to praise me. You don't know how strong I am. I can even beat back a Quasi-Saint, let alone these people. Who knows, you might encounter even more amazing things in the future. At that time, you will still be surprised. I have some things to think about. You should go and rest for a while. You should know that the damage you brought upon yourself by forcefully activating six layers of attack isn't something that I can heal." Gu Zheng completely ignored the adoring gaze of the other party.
His achievements sounded so powerful. In fact, compared to those monsters, Gu Zheng knew that the other party grew up with a silver spoon in their mouths. He had to work much harder.
He knew that even if one had the talent but did not work hard, the final result was destined. Some people did not think about making progress because of their talent, but some people still worked hard silently. The hardships they put in were not inferior to his.
"I know. I will go now. But I believe that you will be even more powerful." After saying that, Xiao Ying went to another place and floated in the air. A layer of Buddhist light flashed faintly on her body, illuminating the material.
At this time, she seemed to be fine, but she would not be able to fight for at least a few days.
For a moment, the room became quiet again. Gu Zheng was thinking about the information that Xiao Ying had just told him.
Those people were Du Yu. Xiao Ying did not guard against them. She answered almost everything she asked because she came with Gu Zheng.
In fact, it was not just a few people who were taken away. It was a large group of people who were taken away by the other party.
Thinking of the person who escaped to the underground to avoid the Asura, the battle between the two parties had probably started long ago. It was just that they did not take precautions at the beginning. It seemed that they had suffered a lot.
They were scattered like sand. How could they be a match for the Asura? One after another, some people were taken back. However, they were not sent to the underground. Instead, they were all imprisoned here.
Some people who were lucky enough to escape spontaneously gathered together. They even secretly formed an organization to resist the Asura. Now, not only those who had joined before, but also some who had been persecuted by the Asura. There were even people who were disgusted by the Asura's situation.
However, the core of the organization was still those who had escaped. If they could contact them, they would try their best to do so. Not only did they bring a heavy price to the Asura, but they also succeeded in minimizing their losses.
However, this time, they had already gathered a small group of people and were prepared to forcefully rescue those who were imprisoned here.
Moreover, there was already a group of people under the lead of two stewards. They had drawn the attention of these people away and created conditions for them.
They were hiding here, waiting for the predetermined time. However, the other party seemed to have received some information and knew that there was a group of people here. That was why they almost caught Leng Xin.
In other words, Gu Zheng's attack had almost killed all the guards here. This made the position even more vulnerable.
Most of the guards were sent away. The two Grand Luo who were guarding here were also attracted by the elder's gaze. They went over together, wanting to take the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to those who were secretly causing trouble for them.
When he thought of this, Gu Zheng felt much more at ease. If the other party did not want to get involved, then he decided to wait for them to rescue those people before he continued forward.
Early the next morning, Gu Zheng took Xiao Ye and bade them farewell. However, he hid in the surroundings and waited for them to move. He followed them to prevent any accidents from happening.
This was because although their cultivation was all at the peak of Jin Xian, there were still too few of them. If the other party had any backup plans, it would be a one-way trip.
"Steward Kun, why don't you let Young Master Gu help us? With his help, we will definitely succeed this time."
At the entrance of the stone cave where they entered, Leng Xin, who was behind them, asked after they saw that Gu Zheng had completely left.
It was not only him. Even the other two people who had followed him over were unable to understand why Gu Zheng was not allowed to help them.
"Young Master Gu has ruined the other party's plans and he must be hated by the other party. Once his whereabouts are exposed, I'm afraid it will bring him endless trouble. Therefore, I'd rather not let him help." Kun Yu glanced behind and explained to everyone.
Now, they finally understood why the two of them did not let Gu Zheng help. They did not say anything because they also understood that Kun Yu was right. If they were discovered, there was still hope for them to escape. If Gu Zheng was discovered, he would definitely be eliminated as soon as possible.
Now, they did not even need to send the other party's guards away. This was already a great help to them.
"Everyone, go back and prepare. We will be ready to set off in a day. This time, the other party has suffered heavy losses. We will definitely be able to rescue them." Key Mark raised his single arm, which reflected the silver light of metal, and said firmly.
"Young Master, they are really good to you. They would rather suffer losses than let you take the risk." Xiao Ying, who was hiding in the air, secretly transmitted her voice to Gu Zheng.
In fact, Gu Zheng had been hiding from the beginning. Those two were just illusions created by Gu Zheng. These people would not observe Gu Zheng, so they were easily deceived.
"That's why I have to protect them. Just in case, it won't take too much time."
Gu Zheng's eyes flashed. Since these people dared to come out and face the Asura, they naturally had some courage in their hearts. Birds of a feather flock together. Those cowardly and despicable people would not join this resistance group.
