Gu Zheng's vision blurred. Then, he found himself on top of a cliff. On his right, he could see the unobstructed sky and the small island that he saw before.
He didn't expect to be teleported to this place. Moreover, there was a layer of invisible white light shrouding the outside. This place was really cautious.
There was no need to look behind him. There was a narrow path behind him. He didn't know where it came from, but it was also blocked by the invisible white light. At the corner in front of him, there were two elite disciples of the Blue Medicine Sect standing guard. Behind them, he could vaguely hear the sound of a conversation.
Gu Zheng leisurely walked inside, passing by the two disciples and entering.
There were a few simple stone benches and a cave with ventilation all around. It was a different kind of atmosphere.
At this moment, there were already many people sitting inside. The black-clothed man from before, Uncle Gao, and Pan Xuan were all here. Although Gu Zheng didn't know the rest, the aura they emitted was at least at the Grand Luo level.
"Hehe, we've been waiting for you. Hurry and sit down." At the very front, a sturdy looking man stopped talking when he saw Gu Zheng coming in. Then, he said to him.
Gu Zheng looked around and sat beside Pan Xuan, looking at the strong-looking man above.
"Up there is the Sect Master of the Blue Medicine Sect, Sen Lu. He is at least at the peak of the Grand Luo level."
As soon as Gu Zheng sat down, Pan Xuan's introduction came from the side, shocking Gu Zheng. He didn't expect the other party's cultivation to be so high. He looked like an ordinary person. You really can't judge a book by its cover.
"Everyone should have a brief understanding of our current situation. A small tribe in the North Sea has joined forces with several other Sea Tribes to make us submit to them. This kind of bullying is too much. Naturally, we won't agree to it if they want to make us their subordinates. The other party has already gathered their troops and can come at any time." Sen Lu continued on the previous topic.
Pan Xuan looked up and transmitted her voice to Gu Zheng. "The first few words were all thanks and nonsense. This is only the beginning. I feel that you should come here as well. You either promised me something or helped us defend this place. Of course, you have to do your best." Pan Xuan looked up and transmitted her voice to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng nodded slightly at Pan Xuan, indicating that he had not forgotten.
"Although our clan is not large, we have been around for a long time. Naturally, we cannot be bullied by them. That is why I have invited you all to help us. As long as we can repel their attack this time, they will promise not to invade us again," Sen Lu continued.
"Then how many do they have? If there is a Quasi-Saint, then forgive me for not being able to help you, even though I owe you a debt of gratitude. "A woman in a white palace dress in front of him said faintly after hearing his words.
Gu Zheng was very familiar with this question, but he did not know how Sen Lu would answer it.
"First of all, they definitely don't have a Quasi-Saint. If that's the case, we'd rather lose this place than go against them. After all, it's a shame that we haven't had a Quasi-Saint after so long. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such a difficult situation."
Sen Lu said resolutely, reassuring everyone. Although they had already asked around before coming, they still didn't believe him. Sen Lu continued.
"Moreover, we naturally have the Seven Star Luan Sky Formation that has been passed down until now. We can show them that we are not a persimmon. However, we need everyone's help. After all, we don't have enough experts, so we can't unleash the formation's power. Moreover, the formation is scattered, so we need someone to guard it and block their attacks."
"However, I know that our sect's strength is a little weak compared to the other party. That's why I underestimated everyone. Right now, we have close to five hundred people above the Jin Xian stage, and close to twenty people above the Grand Luo stage. However, no matter how many people they send, we will face them with our full strength," Sen Lu said confidently.
It wasn't easy for him to gather so many people at his expense. Among them, there were at least two hundred Golden Immortals who were personally recruited by him. It was the same for most of the Grand Luo as well. It seemed like they had really spent a lot of money this time.
Hearing Sen Lu's words, the people below also felt a little more confident. With so many people, plus the fact that they were defending, they were strong enough.
"However, I know that war is cruel and uncertain, so I have prepared a gift for everyone. Consider it an extra gift for everyone. Thank you for coming here and helping us protect this place." After Sen Lu finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a white light shot out from his hand and flew towards everyone.
Gu Zheng saw the white light stop in front of him and a pure white jade bottle appeared in front of him.
"Inside this bottle is a kind of pill that our Blue Medicine Sect has recently developed. It can guarantee that under the mid-stage Grand Luo stage, as long as your injuries are not severe enough, you can recover eighty percent of your strength in half a day. There will be some effect for higher levels, but the effect will decrease. At the peak, you can only recover ten percent of your strength and barely save your life."
Sen Lu's voice sounded again, his tone full of pride.
Gu Zheng looked around with a satisfied expression and kept it as well. This thing could be said to be half a life. He did not expect the other party to give him such a good thing right off the bat. How generous. He wondered if the other party would also want something to appease the Gold Immortals below.
With so many people, if each of them received a pill of the same quality, it would be considered a loss.
"Although we have many people and have made a foolproof plan to defeat the enemy and teach them a lesson, we still need a few Fellow Daoists to guard the formation core outside …"
Sen Lu saw that everyone had accepted the gift and continued.
.....
Seven days later, everyone was dismissed. Everyone's mission was given individually. Although they did not know what the others' mission was, Gu Zheng and Pan Xuan were assigned to two small islands in the south.
The elite disciples outside were also ready to wait for orders. When the two of them came out, they flew outside. The others were also led in other directions.
A while later, the two small islands not too far away appeared below them. However, Gu Zheng's island was slightly more protruding, while Pan Xuan's island was quite close to the central island.
"Then we'll split up for now. If you need anything, come find me." Pan Xuan left Gu Zheng with these words and descended. Soon, she turned into a small black dot.
Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled as he followed the disciple in front of him.
On his island, Gu Zheng could see that the entire island was mostly covered in mountains and forests. There were also many scattered plants, and there were a few waves of seawater washing over the island.
In the middle, there was a man-made plain, and a huge stone house stood in the middle. Above the ground, one could see that the surrounding ground was surrounded by surging waves of seawater.
Moreover, Gu Zheng could see many black hole-like caves with a layer of white light outside. He could feel waves of Spirit Qi coming from below.
The elite disciple quickly led Gu Zheng to the front of the stone hall in the middle. At this time, he could see that there were two or three disciples guarding the surroundings. However, they were only ordinary disciples, and their cultivation bases were only at the fourth or fifth step. They patrolled the surroundings.
When they saw them coming down, they stopped and saluted before going back to patrol.
Gu Zheng and the elite disciple went all the way to the entrance of the stone hall before stopping.
A white-bearded Jin Xian old man rushed out from the side and looked at Gu Zheng and asked.
"These are the young people guarding here?"
"Elder Qi, the Sect Master appointed them to guard here to ensure the protection of Alkaid Island." The elite disciple said respectfully.
"That's good. When the time is right, I can lead some people to guard here and activate the formation at any time, waiting for the enemy to attack." Elder Qi stroked his slender chin and said with satisfaction.
"Then, I'll take my leave first." The elite disciple's cultivation was obviously higher than his, but he seemed to be more respectful. After saying that, he directly soared into the sky and left.
"I'm Gu Zheng. How should I address you, Senior?" Gu Zheng looked at the old man and said respectfully.
"Kid, you're really good. It's been a long time since I've seen someone who respects the old and cares for the young. Just call me Elder Qi." Elder Qi looked at Gu Zheng from head to toe and said with a smile.
After all, the old man could guard here, and his cultivation would not be lower than Grand Luo. He was many times stronger than him, who was only at the early Jin Xian stage.
Gu Zheng was speechless and did not know how to respond.
"I'm going to continue to pick some spiritual herbs. Before the enemy comes, I'll have to hurry up and refine them. Only then will I have more confidence." Elder Qi said as he walked outside. But after taking a few steps, he thought of something and immediately turned his head to Gu Zheng and said, "Don't worry.
"You can't enter the stone hall in front, or you'll cause a backlash from the formation. There are some restrictions on the island, so you have to be careful. Other than that, there are no restrictions on your movements. Oh, right, there are some temporary cave residences not far from here. Although they're simple, they're still clean. If you want to rest, you can go there. I still have some things to do, so I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, Elder Qi flew towards the outside and quickly disappeared from this place.
Gu Zheng thought for a while and decided to go there first to find a place to rest. After all, there was still a long way to go.
After walking for a few steps, a huge courtyard appeared in front of Gu Zheng. The periphery was made of rough rocks, and there was only a symbolic door in the middle.
Gu Zheng was a bit speechless when he walked in. This was because the temporary cave residences were really built on the huge rock walls. There weren't many rooms, but there was a door inside, so it wasn't hard to see inside.
Gu Zheng glanced around and directly pushed open the door of the room near the edge. He thought that there was nothing good inside.
But when Gu Zheng pushed open the door, he was shocked. After all, the inside was not small. It was twice as big as an ordinary house. Moreover, it had everything. Moreover, there was a faint fragrance in the air. It was not as stuffy as he had imagined. Obviously, there was a formation protecting this place.
Except for the appearance, Gu Zheng was satisfied. It was enough as a temporary place to rest.
However, Gu Zheng did not intend to waste time. He did not want to go out and check. He took out his Cloud Desolate Sword and sat cross-legged on the bed. He placed it in his palm and used his Divine Sense to explore it.
He did not have time on the way. Now, he finally had time to observe what the evil black Qi on the Cloud Desolate Sword was.
After a long while, Gu Zheng's expression became serious. Looking at the Cloud Desolate Sword in front of him, he helplessly sighed. After half a day of observation, he was unable to recognize what this black gas was. He only knew that it was filled with countless negative auras.
Just now, the slight contact almost caused Gu Zheng to lose control, wanting to be assimilated by the other party. It was no wonder that the other party wanted to specifically trap him. If he couldn't be completely destroyed, then he would have to hide forever, never to see the light of day. However, those evil monsters still found this place and destroyed his seal.
Although he did not recognize it, Gu Zheng did not plan to give up. He wanted to try.
After placing a restriction on the outside, Gu Zheng took a deep breath. He threw the Cloud Desolate Sword in his hand into the air. Soon after, a white flame rose from his right wrist. Under his control, it formed a thin white line that flowed towards the Cloud Desolate Sword. In the blink of an eye, it adhered to the tip of the sword.
The entire Cloud Desolate Sword trembled. However, in the next moment, it was calmed down by Gu Zheng. Although the sword did not have its own sword spirit, it could sense danger. It was like an animal's instinct.
A ball of white flame followed the Cloud Desolate Sword's body and seeped into it. Soon, other than the handle, it had turned into a flaming sword.
Gu Zheng closed his eyes and carefully controlled the white flame. It seeped into the Cloud Desolate Sword and attacked the black Qi inside.
Even though it was only a little, the black Qi seemed to be afraid and did not want to fight. This made Gu Zheng happy. He thought that the white flame countered the black Qi and continued to press forward.
The black Qi ran back and forth in the sword's body. However, it was quickly forced into a corner.
Facing the white flame's pressure, the black Qi shrunk into a ball. It became the size of a grain of rice. It allowed the white flame to surround it. The flames on the Cloud Desolate Sword once again increased.
After a long time, the white flame on the Cloud Desolate Sword slowly subsided. Gu Zheng wiped the sweat on his head. He was too nervous.
If he accidentally damaged the Cloud Desolate Sword, it would be too late for him to cry.
However, what made Gu Zheng disappointed was that after the white flame subsided, the black Qi did not decrease in the slightest. This proved that although the white flame countered it, its current power was far from enough.
Looking at the black Qi spreading out again, Gu Zheng thought of the Cleansing Glass Fire inside. It seemed that only it could completely destroy it. It seemed that he had to wait for a good opportunity. At this time, Gu Zheng was still unable to control it and had no other choice.
Just as he was about to put it away, Gu Zheng raised his hand. A normal golden flame rose from the Cloud Desolate Sword and attacked the black Qi. However, in the next moment, a black light flashed and all the golden flames on the Cloud Desolate Sword were extinguished. The black Qi even more arrogantly flowed around the sword.
However, with a thought from Gu Zheng, traces of golden patterns appeared on the sword. The Cloud Desolate Sword's defense that was forcefully released by Gu Zheng was once again activated. The black Qi once again retreated and hid within.
Gu Zheng sighed. It seemed that the Cloud Desolate Sword would not be able to get rid of it in a short period of time.
Gu Zheng tore off the outer defense. Only then did he realize that a day had passed.
Suddenly, Gu Zheng felt a tremor in his bosom. Following which, a ray of light flew out. Before it landed on the ground, a small and cute figure appeared in the air.
She was wearing a small purple dress. There were faint wrinkles on it, causing the patterns on it to be difficult to see clearly. She had a petite face and sleepy eyes, as if she had not yet woken up.
"Ha, so comfortable. Home is still the most comfortable." Xiao Ying stretched out her snow-white arms and let out a comfortable yawn. Then, she rubbed her eyes and looked around.
"Eh? You're done already? "
It turned out that Xiao Ying had felt bored listening to Sen Lu's long speech. Thus, she had returned to the painting to sleep. Only now did she wake up.
"Of course. Right now, we're on an island that we saw before." Gu Zheng pushed open the door and walked out. Breathing in the fishy smell of the sea, he did not know what to do for a moment.
Instead, Xiao Ying jumped out from the side and flew into the air. Looking around, she shouted in surprise.
"Wow, wow, what a beautiful scenery! Little kitty, look. "
"When are you going to take me to find my sister?" The kitty did not look around. She was not interested at all.
"Don't worry. You said your home is far from here. Wait until we return this favor. I promise you, I will accompany you. You know, if it wasn't for the other party, we wouldn't have been able to come out." Xiao Ying's expression froze.
"Okay!"
The kitty said concisely. Then, she continued to stand on Xiao Ying's shoulder in a daze. It was as if this place had become her new lodging place.
"Can I go out and have a look? What's there to see around here?" Xiao Ying shouted at Gu Zheng from above.
Although the painting had a certain distance limit, it was still very far away. At least within this Blue Ocean Sect, she could walk as she pleased.
"Okay, I'll give you this thing. This way, you can go unimpeded. But don't cause any trouble." Gu Zheng thought that there was no danger here. If the enemy came in, they would have to pass through the fog outside. Moreover, the Blue Medicine Sect was also on guard outside. So, there was enough time for him to react.
After saying that, Gu Zheng took a blue badge from his shoulder and threw it up. It was a badge that represented his identity and had no other use.
"I know, I won't cause any trouble." Xiao Ying cheered after receiving the badge and immediately flew outside.
Just in case, Gu Zheng also left a trace of his aura on the badge.
Watching Xiao Ying fly away, Gu Zheng thought for a moment. Then, he simply went to the courtyard and took out a pile of items. In fact, some of them contained strong fluctuations.
Gu Zheng picked and chose a few items. Then, satisfied, he put away the rest.
Those things could be said to be useless to him. So, he chose some of the powerful magic weapons and prepared to refine them.
Although it was still a bit difficult to fight against an opponent of the same level, it was still good as a supplement.
Gu Zheng set up a few simple arrays outside. Then, he began to refine them quietly.
Soon, an inexplicable fluctuation rose. Gu Zheng only left a trace of his consciousness outside. The rest of his energy was placed on the magic weapons in his hand.
