"Who is she?"
On the other side of the island, Gu Zheng found Xiao Ying, who was playing by the beach. In just three days, she had already searched through most of the island, but she still couldn't find the place that Gu Zheng had asked her to.
Originally, she had been very happy to see Gu Zheng come to see her. But then a celestial fairy-like woman had appeared from the forest. That woman's aura made her seem like a virtuous wife. She couldn't help but question Gu Zheng's actions.
"She is a friend who just woke up from a coma. Don't make a fuss." Gu Zheng looked at the jealous Xiao Ying and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"This must be Xiao Ying's friend. Don't worry, I will only follow Young Master Gu for a while. After I understand the outside world, I will naturally become more powerful and won't waste too much time by your side."
Li Le seemed to see through Xiao Ying's heart. She was used to staying with Gu Zheng, so suddenly coming out to stay with Gu Zheng made her feel uncomfortable. It was as if her things had been stolen from her, a typical child's temperament.
On the way here, Gu Zheng had already explained the basic situation to her. She wasn't ignorant of the ways of the world, so of course she knew how to deal with it.
"I'm not driving you away, that's just what I meant." Hearing Li Le's words, she stammered, not knowing what to say. Seeing Gu Zheng smiling, she immediately walked forward and handed over the stone in her hand.
"Young Master, I've searched this island and didn't find anything unusual. Is the thing you want not here?"
"It's definitely here. I'm here to call you back. You two, guard this island. Don't allow any living creatures to leave. I need to go into seclusion for a bit to refine my magic treasure. I'll be done in a few years."
Gu Zheng wasn't disappointed. Since the other party was able to hide so deeply, they must have some skills that he didn't know about. However, as long as they didn't leave this place, he would be able to find them.
"No problem, leave it to me. From the birds to the bugs, nothing can escape my senses." Xiao Ying said confidently. One had to know that her cultivation was one level higher than Li Le's, so she consciously put the difficult task on herself.
"That's good. I'll leave everything to you."
Gu Zheng chuckled and led Xiao Ye towards the open space again. The Star Formation could still be used one more time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have put in so much effort to make it.
After returning, he gave a few simple instructions before sitting down in Li Le's seat. Then, he swallowed another pill.
Feeling the power of the pill rushing through his body like a stampede of ten thousand horses, Gu Zheng slowly closed his eyes and activated the Astral Formation outside again.
There was no longer the silver light pillar from before. Only the starlight that filled the sky once again rose in the air, gradually engulfing Gu Zheng's figure.
Gu Zheng let out a low roar, and the five rings on his left wrist immediately emitted rays of light, revealing their true forms in the air, perfectly surrounding Gu Zheng.
At the same time, five golden rays of light shot out from the five rings, directly connecting to Gu Zheng's body.
Following the continuous flickering of the five golden lights, a red flame suddenly rose from under the five jade bracelets, enveloping all of them within. As for the Li Bracelet on Gu Zheng's right hand, it was also emitting a weak light.
Five tyrannical auras began to rise around Gu Zheng. Five different colored rays of light began to slowly revolve around Gu Zheng. They also lit up in the world full of silver light, very conspicuous.
This time, not only did he have to completely remove the imprint left by Uncle Gao, but he also had to refine it. When he gave it to him, he said that it was enough for him to use even if he reached the peak of the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm. He just had to continue refining it.
Not long after it began, Gu Zheng opened his mouth and spat out five rays of blood-red light, directly entering the five jade rings. The flames outside even made a "boom" sound, rising by a full ten feet, the scorching temperature accelerated the removal of the imprint inside.
This burning lasted for a year. From the moment he entered until now, the flames had finally been extinguished. At this time, it should have reached its end. However, Gu Zheng, who was about to stop, suddenly had a change in expression. A contemplative look appeared in his eyes. He was about to get up, but once again, he sat down firmly.
At the same time, his hands began to form complicated seals, continuously entering the five jade rings.
The five jade rings that were originally emitting a bright light were now shining with a dazzling light like the sun, and the light even leaked out of the shield.
Such a strange scene also attracted the attention of the two guards outside.
Little Ying looked over and said to Li Le, "What do you think Young Master is doing? Isn't that magic treasure already his? It's so troublesome to do this."
In a short period of time, she and Li Le had become close friends, and the initial grudge between them had disappeared without a trace.
"Only in this way can he become stronger and stronger. You can't always be playful. Do you need Gu Zheng to protect you for a lifetime?"
Li Le also looked over and saw that above the five rays of light, a different colored liquid was flying up and gathering in the sky, as if it was about to form something. However, it was just the beginning, so it was impossible to see anything. Hearing Little Ying's question, he took the opportunity to say.
"Why not? I'm Young Master's maid, so of course I have to follow Young Master. If there's any danger, of course Young Master has to protect me. " Little Ying said matter-of-factly, even if she usually didn't have the consciousness of a maid, and had to rely on Gu Zheng to take care of her.
"But have you thought about it? If Gu Zheng encounters danger, what will you do? Could it be that you can only watch? Not to mention that you have to be stronger than him, at least you can't drag him down. You have to know how dangerous it was this time. He almost died in there, but he didn't tell you. "
Li Le said bluntly. After knowing that Gu Zheng's cultivation was in the Grand Heavenly Realm, she was very shocked, and she also knew why he was so powerful down there. But even so, at the end of the last battle, she also sensed that Gu Zheng almost died there.
"There's always someone stronger. No one dares to say that they will always have a smooth sailing. If you encounter an obstacle that you can't cross, you don't have to help him, but you can't drag him down. If he enters a life and death situation in order to save you, let alone die, what will you do?"
Li Le continued to say aggressively, making Little Ying's face turn pale, and she could only mutter to herself.
"No, Young Noble is so powerful. Nothing can hurt him."
However, her voice became softer and softer, because she also understood that Li Le was right. However, Gu Zheng never told her these problems. She also asked Gu Zheng similar questions, but at that time, Gu Zheng would only comfort her with a smile, saying that he would take care of everything and not let her worry.
She really naively thought that as long as Gu Zheng was there, everything would be fine. As for the problem behind it, she didn't want to think about it, and she was also very afraid to think about it.
"Of course she's very powerful. She's simply the most powerful person I've ever seen." Li Le glanced inside and continued.
"But, as I said, no matter how powerful he is, there will be a time when he runs out of strength. At that time, won't it be time for you to stand up and not be a yes-man behind him and watch him die?"
Hearing this, Little Ying suddenly screamed and angrily said to Li Le, "Young Noble won't die!"
"Won't die? Let me show you what your Young Master went through when you were in the painting. Where were you at that time? "
Li Le knew of Little Ying's origin, but she didn't agree with Gu Zheng's method of education. It was too benevolent and slow. Although it was good for her to grow up slowly, the bitterness in the future would make it seem laughable. Especially in this world where the strong preyed on the weak, people were forced to advance.
No matter when, strength was the only thing to pursue. Only then could you protect the things you wanted to protect and pursue everything you wanted to pursue.
She could also see that Gu Zheng couldn't take care of Little Ying for her entire life. He couldn't be so ruthless, so she had to help him. No matter what, she had to let Little Ying, who lived in this obedient world, know just how cruel the outside world was.
Clap clap!
Li Le sneered and clapped her hands. A red light came out of her palms and formed a picture in the air.
"Young Noble!"
Little Ying looked at the picture and saw a figure falling from the sky. She recognized that figure as Gu Zheng's figure. At that time, she had also sensed that Gu Zheng's condition wasn't good. She had wanted to come out, but she had been blocked by a mysterious power. In the blink of an eye, she had arrived here. She didn't know what had happened.
As the picture fell to the ground, Little Ying couldn't help covering her mouth when she saw Gu Zheng's dying appearance. Little tears appeared in her small eyes. She hadn't thought that Gu Zheng would be so heavily injured at that time.
The picture in front of her changed once more. A huge snake broke out of the ground and appeared in the air. Everyone below fled in panic. Even from the picture, Little Ying could feel that despairing aura.
Then the huge snake's mouth began to emit a black light, giving her a bad premonition.
Sure enough, a familiar figure rushed up and was submerged by the black shadow. Before she could see clearly what happened, the picture suddenly darkened.
"What's going on? Could it be that Young Master didn't defeat the other party? "
Although she knew that Gu Zheng was safe and was refining the magic treasure in front of her, she still couldn't help but ask.
"Gu Zheng's strength isn't something that the huge snake can compare to. Although the huge snake was very powerful and had the strength of a Grand Heavenly Immortal, it was still killed by Gu Zheng in the end." Li Le looked at Little Ying, who heaved a sigh of relief, and said indifferently.
"But in the end, he met someone who could really control his life and death at any time. Are you still willing to watch?"
"I want to watch." Little Ying seemed to know that the following picture would definitely not be pleasant, but she still said firmly.
Following that, the image started to vibrate again. It was no longer as clear as before. Now, it was in the midst of the wind and rain, constantly shaking. However, one could still see a figure powerlessly being grabbed in the air. After a few breaths of time, the image stabilized, allowing Xiao Ying to see Gu Zheng's miserable appearance.
Then, Gu Zheng, who was almost powerless to resist, was trampled by the enemy step by step in front of her.
Unknowingly, the tears in Little Ying's eyes had already rushed out of her eyes and fell down silently. In the end, they gathered together under her sharp chin and dripped down drop by drop.
"I … I didn't know that he would suffer so much." Little Ying said with a little sobbing.
When she came out, she could still see Gu Zheng smiling at her. She couldn't see the suffering he had suffered before at all. It was as if it didn't exist.
"There's a lot you don't know. Although I don't know what kind of cultivation technique you cultivate, after knowing you for two years, I can see that you basically don't cultivate and play all day. It's not that I'm forcing you to do anything. If it's normal, then it's fine. But just being by Gu Zheng's side, do you have the heart to let Gu Zheng encounter such things in the future? Think about it, if you were by his side and were strong enough, how could he have fallen into such a situation? "
Li Le said with both the carrot and the stick, and didn't continue to provoke Little Ying.
"Yes, if I were here, Young Master wouldn't have such a difficult time." Little Ying thought of the past. At that time, she was much stronger than she was now. She rushed to do everything. Even if he encountered difficulties, she would help Gu Zheng.
But when did she gradually become so lazy? She didn't cultivate seriously and relied on Young Master for everything. She also didn't understand Master Wu Xiang's grievances. Her strength couldn't help at all.
If she continued like this, how could she face Master Wu Xiang and Young Master's teachings?
Little Ying's face gradually became firm. Finally, she bowed deeply to Li Le.
"Thank you for reminding me, Sister. I know what to do."
"Everything depends on you. I originally didn't want to force you, but from Gu Zheng's words, there has always been a sense of bewilderment towards the future. There is even some fear, as if there is something that can threaten him. However, it is usually suppressed by his incomparable self-confidence. He doesn't know either. No matter what, when he encounters difficulties, you must stand up for him. Only then will his path become longer and longer."
Li Le nodded and looked at Little Ying with gratification. At least Little Ying was just a moment of greed. Perhaps she could wake up without it, but it would be too late.
"Who is it?"
Just as Little Ying was about to say something, she suddenly raised her eyebrows and shouted to the left.
Li Le also looked in that direction, but didn't find anything suspicious. But looking at Little Ying's appearance, it clearly wasn't a false alarm.
"If you don't come out, don't blame me for being impolite."
At this time, Little Ying flew up and said to the other side.
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. We'll come out now. It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Following a flattering voice, a tall Little Goblin came out of the forest outside. Behind him was an equally bold and powerful black wolf. At this time, it was also following behind with its head lowered.
The moment they appeared, the little fox on Little Ying's shoulder suddenly stood on Little Ying's shoulder and excitedly neighed at them. It seemed to recognize them.
"Isn't that Young Master's weapon? Why is it with you? " Little Ying looked over curiously and suddenly found that the black wolf was holding a familiar object. Looking carefully, it was Gu Zheng's weapon. She couldn't help but be puzzled.
"It's like this." The Little Goblin slightly bent his body in front of Little Ying, who wasn't as tall as him, and explained.
"When that senior came here, my subordinate accidentally brought this treasure back. He didn't have spiritual intelligence, so he only knew to bring back good things. Who would have thought that this treasure was ownerless? I also saw the strange phenomenon a few days ago, so I felt that this treasure must have been taken by mistake. So, I hurriedly brought it back."
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why Young Master gave me this thing. It turns out that he wanted me to find it." Little Ying took out the shiny white stone and suddenly understood.
"It's my fault. If you want to hit or punish me, just do it. I definitely won't resist." The Little Goblin nodded and bowed.
"I don't care. You guys stay here and see how my Young Master will deal with you." Little Ying didn't care so much and said to them.
"Of course, of course. We'll stay here and not go anywhere. We can't go anywhere and wait for senior to deal with us." The Little Goblin immediately nodded and scolded the black wolf at the same time.
The black wolf with an innocent face also obediently lay on the ground and crawled there.
With outsiders around, Li Le couldn't say anything. No matter what, he had already said. He wouldn't ask any more questions. Otherwise, he would be crossing the line.
Everyone watched as Gu Zheng continued to sacrifice and refine his magic treasure. Even with the isolation from the outside, they could still feel the turbulent aura inside. The Little Goblin's face was pale. He was at the Sky Immortal stage, so of course he knew how terrifying the person inside was. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here to ask for punishment.
However, the black wolf and the little fox didn't feel any discomfort. They couldn't feel the aura at all.
However, this time, Gu Zheng's closed-door cultivation was beyond their expectations. It lasted for three whole years.
They had stayed outside for three whole years, and the one who suffered the most was Hei Lang. Not to mention all kinds of inconveniences, even eating food was extremely uncomfortable. His originally strong body had become thinner, and he was no longer as imposing as before. Even so, he could only stay like this.
"Seal!"
With Gu Zheng's last roar, the power of the stars in the sky gathered and flew towards the jade ring. Above the jade ring, which couldn't be seen clearly at first, there were now five clear words shining with golden light and emitting a strange aura. It was like the power of heaven and earth, making everyone have the urge to worship it.
However, as the five golden words took shape, they quickly flowed into the jade ring below and disappeared in the air. It also made everyone, who almost couldn't breathe, regain their senses and gasp for breath. Just now, they thought they were going to be sucked in together with the jade ring.
Soon, as the light screen inside dissipated, Gu Zheng's figure appeared in front of them with an unconcealable smile. When he saw Li Le and the others, he immediately said apologetically.
"This time, it's been too long. I've made you wait for a long time."
"It's okay, there's nothing to do anyway. However, these two people have been waiting here to apologize. I don't know if you will punish them now." Li Le waved his hand and pointed at the fawning Little Goblin.
When Gu Zheng came out, he saw the Cloud Desolate Sword. Or rather, when the other party came out, he arrived. He walked in front of the Little Goblin and looked at the two of them in deep thought.
"Senior, we really didn't do it on purpose. Sir, please be magnanimous and let us go this time."
The Little Goblin fell to his knees and said without caring about his dignity. He knew that after taking the sword, it would be difficult for him to escape even if he wanted to. He might as well come over and beg for a chance to live.
"That's easy. You have to tell me, how did you cut off the connection between me and the weapon?"
Gu Zheng smiled faintly and said in an amiable voice.
