On the outskirts of the lone peak, there was a large courtyard. It was usually quiet, but at this moment, it was bustling with noise.
"Let me tell you, you didn't see my last dart. Tsk tsk, it was amazing. It shattered the red ball and saved everyone from danger." Xiao An's proud voice sounded from inside.
"Tch, if it weren't for me stopping that Demon Soul, you would've been killed by that guy if you still wanted to attack," Shen Qing said snappily when he saw the other party's smug look.
"That's a different matter. You didn't see me …" Xiao An didn't care and continued talking.
He wasn't the only one. The others were also discussing enthusiastically. Most of the content was about the risk of death, which was worth remembering in their hearts.
How could they not be excited? Not only did they complete the mission, but they also didn't lose a single person. Although they had rested until now and their bodies hadn't recovered by half, it was enough to let them know the power of the formation.
Gu Zheng stood outside and listened to the lively atmosphere inside. After standing for a long time, he put away the Cloud Desolate Sword and walked out.
Since these people were fine, he would let Yan Yufei, who was recuperating, hear the praises and let her know that her efforts weren't in vain.
However, Gu Zheng didn't walk far before he stopped again.
Not far away, Bai Jiajia and a group of people were waiting for him. Even Huang Wei, who he had just met, was also there. Gu Zheng couldn't pretend that he couldn't see them and could only go up to them.
"You're leaving, so we have to send you off. Otherwise, how can we live up to your contributions?" Xu Jia looked at Gu Zheng and immediately said with a smile.
After they came back, they found out what Gu Zheng had done. If it wasn't for him, their many years of planning would have been completely destroyed. Naturally, they were very grateful.
"It's my pleasure. If it wasn't for the things you provided, I wouldn't have been able to kill them so easily. I just did it casually." Gu Zheng said humbly.
"We don't know how to thank you. Most of the things we've taken out are things that can restrain Demonic Souls. However, since you're out there, I'm afraid you'll encounter some things. Take these things with you. At least for Demonic Souls, they'll be extremely lethal."
Bai Jiajia said with a smile. Although raising her head made her a little uncomfortable, she still signaled Huang Wei next to her and handed over a black box, which was only half the size of a palm.
"Hehe, then I won't stand on ceremony." Gu Zheng didn't decline and directly took it.
Judging from the other party's intentions, it was impossible for him not to take it. Besides, he needed it too. If he needed it in the future, he wouldn't be restricted.
Just by holding it in his hand, he could tell that there were weapons inside, and they didn't look weak.
"I hope you'll be able to find the person you're looking for as soon as possible. However, I do have a request. Do you have any more of those soul armaments that you give to your friends?" Bai Jiajia's smile grew even brighter as she continued to ask.
They had a few of those soul armaments, but they used them for themselves. How could they be willing to give them to their subordinates because they didn't know how to make them. Only Demonic Souls knew how to make them, and they were used to strengthen their strength.
Most of the things they gave to Gu Zheng were made by the other party, and they just took them.
The only thing they knew was how to make ordinary weapons and armors, which could only be used to deal with the other party's subordinates. No, even if they were facing a powerful Demonic Soul, their power would be reduced.
The weapons they could use here were soul armaments, exclusive weapons for Demonic Souls, defensive equipment, and magical treasures.
"I still have some. Anyway, I don't need them. I'll give them all to you." Gu Zheng understood the other party's meaning. Anyway, there were a lot of things, so he simply took out most of them and piled them on the side, forming a small mountain.
There were defensive equipment and weapons, and everything was left behind from the past.
"There's really a lot. It seems like you're really …" Xu Jiade's mouth was wide open as he said with some emotion.
However, he only said half of it. Everyone knew the rest even if he didn't say it.
"Is it enough?"
Gu Zheng looked at the other party and pointed to the side. There were good and ordinary things, but Gu Zheng still had some in his hands. If it wasn't enough, he took out most of it.
"It's enough, it's enough! With these, it's enough for us to dismantle them. In the future, our weapons and armors can also be upgraded to a higher level. At that time, they'll be more powerful and have stronger defense. "
Bai Jiajia looked at the soul armaments as if they were her favorite toys. After hearing Gu Zheng's question, she came back to her senses and took out two things that Gu Zheng was familiar with.
"We're not in any danger here, so I'll give these two things to you to protect yourself."
Gu Zheng understood that this was the benefit he got from giving them so many things. The other party gave him a reward, and it was something he couldn't refuse.
It was the soul stone that completely damaged the umbrella-shaped Demonic Soul. He didn't have the nerve to say it, but he didn't expect the other party to give it to him directly.
He didn't hesitate and took it again. To him, this thing was no less than two life-saving opportunities. If the other party didn't know about it and he succeeded in a sneak attack, then it would be a big joke.
In other words, Gu Zheng owed the other party something.
"Yes, but can you still control Ma Nan's side?" Gu Zheng seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked.
"The other party's power is already great. They left this place a long time ago. We can no longer control them. If you want to do something, don't worry. If you want to kill the other party, that would be the best." Huang Wei said directly because he was in charge of this.
"That's good." Gu Zheng nodded and didn't say anything.
"You have to be careful. It's said that he took the initiative to seek refuge with the Demonic Soul, but the Demonic Soul didn't agree. He's still wandering outside, but he can enter the city. More importantly, the other party's strength is not bad. There's also someone who's willing to join him." Xu Jia reminded.
They naturally knew that Gu Zheng and Ma Nan had some conflicts. When they were over there, everyone saw it. Therefore, Xu Jia directly gave Gu Zheng an answer.
Gu Zheng nodded and understood what Xu Jia meant.
However, he also realized that those humans or Goblin with cultivation, once they reached a certain level, they couldn't be forced or used other methods to stay here. Perhaps this was the reason why the Lord recruited people from above.
Looking at the entire Guan City, those who were above the Grand Heavenly Realm were all flesh and blood. Even the core subordinates were the same. It seemed like there were some things that he didn't know.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Gu Zheng directly asked to leave. The other party didn't ask him to stay and watched as he disappeared into the circle. They also went back.
After leaving this place, Gu Zheng didn't know where to go. After all, he still had to pass through a large area in the middle.
He took out the simple map and looked at it as he walked. After comparing it to the huge map, Gu Zheng quickly made a plan.
When he passed through this area, he still had one more thing to do.
Gu Zheng put away the things and sped up on the ground.
.....
In the boundless Southern Sea, two figures were flying quickly in the air.
"We've been here for so long. Hei Xiang, why aren't we here yet?" Xiangxiang looked at the endless sea in the distance and complained.
"I say, can you not change my name so casually? I think my previous name was very good. It's much more imposing than this." The woman next to her, who was covered in black clothes, only revealed a gaze that was very similar to Xiangxiang's. She said with some dissatisfaction.
"I'm not used to your name. That's it. We've run so far. Can my brother still come back?" Xiangxiang ignored the woman's complaints. There was a hint of worry and uncertainty on her face.
"I don't know if he'll come or not, but if he cares about you, he'll definitely come. Didn't you say that he'll definitely come after receiving the message you left behind?" A sly look flashed in Hei Xiang's eyes. Xiangxiang, who was next to her, was focused on the front and didn't see it.
"He'll definitely come back." The uncertainty on Xiangxiang's face disappeared, and she said with certainty.
"That's good. When we get there, we won't go in so quickly. We can open a path for him. Even if he doesn't come, we can act according to the situation. It's fine to wait a little longer." Hei Xiang continued.
"Alright then. I'll leave a mark here." Xiangxiang nodded, and then her figure fell rapidly from the sky.
Hei Xiang could only follow behind when she saw this. They fell down together, one in front of the other, into the sea below.
Xiangxiang picked up a blue stone in her hand, and then carefully placed it under the sea. The entire stone blended perfectly into the sea as if it was fixed there. Only wisps of a special aura were emitted.
"Alright, let's go." After Xiangxiang finished all this and made sure that there was nothing wrong, she broke through the sea and flew up again.
Hei Xiang silently left a black light in her hand. Seeing that it entered the other party's stone in the blink of an eye, her eyes showed a satisfied look, and then rushed out. In terms of time, there was no hesitation at all.
"A little further ahead. We have to be careful. There's a special place there. We have to pass through there. If we're discovered, we won't be able to go in." Hei Xiang's tone was a little nervous as she said solemnly.
"Understood!"
The two figures flew forward again, but their speed was obviously much slower.
.....
In a valley, Ren Xue finally rushed back with her people, but Li Le was not by her side at this time.
"Go in and report that we're back. Also, report everything while you're at it." Ren Xue said lightly.
Someone stood up behind her and walked directly into the valley covered in fog, while the others waited here together.
Not long after, the fog in the valley automatically dispersed to both sides, leaving a long enough passage.
Ren Xue did not hesitate at all and quickly led everyone inside. She still had to report the specific things this time. Lord Ma's death had to be explained in detail to get rid of the traces on her body.
As they entered, the fog in the valley closed again, and gradually, the shadow of the entire valley disappeared from this place.
At the same time, on another level, in a bottomless abyss, countless poisonous gas was spreading. A red formation suddenly lit up in the middle, followed by countless red lines that continuously lit up. Layer after layer, they densely surrounded a huge rock and rose up.
And with the red light brought about by the light, one could clearly see that a huge white bear was tightly bound to the mountain rock. Thick red chains tied it to the rock from the inside.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the chains were actually made up of numerous fine runes.
"Roar!"
A loud roar resounded in the air, and the entire Abyss trembled. However, the rune chains quickly lit up and firmly locked the struggling white bear on them.
Even if the other party struggled desperately, it could not break free from the chains. Gradually, its strength weakened, and the tremors became much smaller.
"Start preparing, Lord can't wait any longer."
On top of the huge mountain rock, there was a small figure. Looking at the struggle below, he did not care at all and said indifferently.
As soon as he finished speaking, streams of thick golden liquid slowly fell from the sky. They poured down from the top of the mountain rock and seeped into the gaps that had been prepared long ago. Once the gaps were filled, they continued to seep down.
Although it was very slow, and the mountain was very high, and it would take a long time to completely pour it down.
But there was enough time here to complete it.
.....
"Stop!"
In a slightly large mountain range, accompanied by a sudden loud shout, in the blink of an eye, a few people surrounded the area that seemed empty.
"Where is this? Can you explain? "
The young man who was surrounded did not panic at all, and instead asked the people surrounding him.
"Newcomers are young. If you want to know, no problem, you will know soon." The leader was also a relatively young man. Looking at the confused newcomers below, his eyes were still filled with confusion, and he said with some emotion.
"Hehe, Captain, if I remember correctly, you are always so emotional every time there is a newcomer." The person next to him laughed and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people next to him laughed as if they had heard something funny.
"You talk too much nonsense, can't you reminisce a little? The number of newcomers has decreased a lot now, I don't know why. "The leader blushed and said indifferently.
"Everyone, I want to ask, where is this place? What is going on? " The man below, seeing that he was ignored, wanted to get angry, but he suppressed it and continued to ask.
"First, tell us how you came here. We are very curious, we haven't heard anything funny in a long time. When you are done, we will tell you." Next to the young captain, another person laughed and said.
"Yes, hurry up and say it. Anyway, everyone is the same. If we get to the bottom of it, we will die." The person next to him also urged, looking impatient.
The man below looked around and found that although the other party was teasing him, they were still firmly surrounding him, so he said.
"It's nothing. My enemy came looking for me, but I couldn't beat him, so I ran all the way. The other party chased me all the way, and in the end, I was ambushed in front of him. When the other party's attack landed, I came here."
"Hehe, Captain, look at his ankle. He hid it very well, I just found it." The second person who spoke had been sizing up Gu Zheng. When the other party finished speaking, his eyes lit up and he said to the captain.
"Mm, I know. Hand over the things on you. Do you want us to search you?" The captain nodded, and a smile appeared on his face. After squatting for so long, he finally had some extra income.
"I don't … What do you want?" The man was a little flustered, but he found that the other five had already surrounded him with smiles on their faces.
"Since you don't want to take it out, of course, we will take it ourselves." The captain stayed outside and didn't go up. He heard the other party say indifferently.
"Okay, I'll give it to you. Don't do it."
The cultivation of the people around him was not weaker than the man. The situation was pressing. After a slight stalemate, he could only compromise dejectedly.
"A wise man submits to circumstances. Not bad, don't worry, we won't let you take all of it. It's just a portion that we deserve. But if you hide anything, then don't blame us for being rude." The captain said with satisfaction.
When the man heard this, he seemed to accept his fate. If the other party snatched it, he wouldn't be able to beat them. He could only take out a jade bracelet hidden in his ankle and a ring in his hair.
Naturally, one of the people next to him walked over and took it without hesitation, and then directly sent it to the captain. The rest of the people were still watching the man covetously, guarding him.
"Not bad, not bad. Next, we can eat some meat." The captain checked and the smile on his face increased.
Soon, he took out some things and put them in another place.
"Little Hou, give it back to him. Check it again. If there are no problems, it's time to go back." The captain threw the things to the person next to him and then said.
The person called Little Hou nodded and directly squeezed in. Then, he looked up and down at the man. The way he looked at him made the man feel very uncomfortable, but he endured it and watched the other party look at him unscrupulously.
"You're smart. I'll give it to you. From now on, we'll be brothers." Little Hou nodded with satisfaction and then returned the things from before.
The man hurriedly checked and found that more than half of it was gone. However, it was good enough that there was this much left. If the other party didn't want to give it to him, he couldn't do anything.
"Okay, let's go. By the way, what's your name? I'll explain it to you on the way. "The captain shouted to the crowd, then turned his head and said to the man.
"My name is Gu Zheng. Where are we going?" The man saw that the people surrounding him had dispersed and didn't ask him anymore. They even walked into the distance. He hurriedly followed and said.
This Gu Zheng was Gu Zheng himself. On the way here, he knew that he had come to Ma Nan's sphere of influence. The other party was recruiting new people here. With a flash of inspiration, he immediately packed up and disguised himself as this.
As long as the other party's Grand Heavenly Realm experts didn't observe carefully, they would definitely not find any traces.
"Of course we're going back. There are many people who came here like you. There are also unlucky people who came here from the Underworld. You haven't been here for long, so there are many things that you don't know."
Little Hou followed behind and stood side by side with him, snorting at him.
"Please tell me more." Gu Zheng hurriedly took out some things from his ring and secretly handed them over. He said sincerely.
"Haha, you're very smart. Come, come, I'll tell you more."
Little Hou's eyes lit up and his attitude immediately changed. After seeing the things that Gu Zheng handed over, his enthusiasm rose a lot.
"Thank you, Lord Hou." Gu Zheng also smiled and relaxed.
