"Okay, I'll make the arrangements after I return tomorrow. This time, I'll let Commander Mi bring everyone to hold the line. We won't be as careless as last time."
Ma Nan said immediately.
"Yes, hurry up. With this batch of things, the other party can definitely create a lot of monsters. Wait for my notice and we'll set off at any time. That jade stone must be taken back." Lord Jin nodded and did not refuse.
Ma Nan also nodded because that jade stone was his stepping stone. Once the Heavenly King's method was effective, he would not have any worries and would be favored by the Heavenly King.
"Lord Jin!"
At this moment, he ran in from outside and knelt down on one knee in front of him. He paused for a moment before continuing.
"Their people didn't decrease at all, and there's no other movement."
"Okay, you can leave. Since that's the case, take precautions. Everything will be as usual tomorrow." Lord Jin knew that the other side would take action immediately. Even if there was an unknown enemy here, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
As the Demon Soul left in a hurry, the surroundings became quiet again.
Looking at his subordinates, who were starting to clean up the mess, he had no other interest. After bidding farewell, he left.
When Ma Nan saw this, he sighed and left as well. He could only wait.
Everything was going smoothly, but he encountered such an unlucky thing. Even the jade stone that he carefully prepared was gone. Fortunately, he knew the other party's location. Otherwise, he would be angered to death.
On the other side, Gu Zheng, who had successfully returned to his body, felt the inspection from the sky and smiled. He didn't expect to gain so much this time, and he wasn't discovered by the other party.
This jade stone had such a huge effect, and that Lord Jin was obviously a little slow. At this time, he didn't care about the enemy. He just took the jade stone and handed it over. The merit was many times greater than this, but he foolishly left it in his room. The heavens were really helping him. He would be a fool if he didn't take it.
If the other party carried it with him at all times, it would be difficult.
If what the other party said was true, then the Heavenly King would be overjoyed. As long as his main body could go out, it would be very easy for him to establish a stronghold outside. At that time, he would be able to establish a stable passage outside. It would not be like before, when he was repeatedly obstructed by others, and he could only watch his side fail without being able to help. In the end, he failed.
Fortunately, he had taken it away. However, if the other party knew about this, they would definitely not let it go. Once the news spread, they would definitely search for it crazily. At that time, even Wen Tianhou would come out to search for it.
Now, he vaguely understood why Wen Tianhou hadn't kept looking for him. Perhaps he thought that they had died under that attack, or else he would have come looking for them soon after they came out.
However, from the looks of it, the other party was prepared to destroy Elder Gu's forces in one go before returning. This was his chance. If he killed the other party outside, the consequences would not be as bad as this small piece of jade.
However, Gu Zheng never expected that at first, he thought it was Pan Xuan, but he would meet Elder Gu here. When the longsword was revealed, he also knew the other party's identity. Only then did he remember that Elder Gu had followed Wen Tianhou.
He didn't expect that she was still here, accumulating her strength. He also didn't expect that Wen Tianhou didn't find trouble with her. Was it because he didn't care or didn't know her identity? However, it seemed that she had already provoked trouble, and he didn't know what she had done.
However, it was also thanks to her that when she attracted the attention of the others, he had already successfully stolen the jade stone and helped her out of the predicament.
Originally, Gu Zheng's plan was to secretly leave this place and go over there to see if it was Pan Xuan. If it was, he would bring her back to Gu City and leave this place.
If it wasn't, he would leave this place and continue towards Soul Alliance to search for her.
Now, it seemed that he couldn't just leave like this. At least, he had to figure out the route and time of attack here. This way, he could lessen the pressure on the other side.
"Disperse, disperse. Tomorrow morning, let's quickly exchange some things and leave immediately."
Following the shouts of the Demon Souls, everyone dispersed. Gu Zheng and Little Hou weren't in the mood to have a "heart to heart" talk. They each returned to their own rooms and rested.
This small matter had already taken half a day. Not long after they returned, they came out one after another and prepared to leave.
The other side had already prepared to exchange for the things they had on them.
Once everyone had gathered, they left under their own lead. Along the way, they were protected by the Demon Souls. Startled by the mere twang of a bow, they practically blocked off the entire area.
However, no one cared. Carrying excitement, they came to two slightly normal rooms. Naturally, there were two people receiving them.
After a full half a day, everyone returned satisfied. Everyone had exchanged everything they had on hand.
Most of them were high quality soul stones. Not only could they relieve their fatigue, they could also be used in battle. Using them to cultivate could also increase their cultivation.
There were also a few soul armaments that were specially crafted by the Yao Soul Institute. They didn't provide any bonuses to the Yao Soul Institute, but they did provide bonuses to the Yao Soul Institute. They were more than happy to trade for these soul armaments since they didn't suffer any losses whether they had them or not.
Moreover, their losses from fighting were even greater.
Of course, there were some other strange things. In short, they were still useful. For example, they could speed up healing. However, they didn't pose any threat to the Demon Souls and could even retrieve a batch of items.
Among the higher ups, they all used the prehistoric items to decorate themselves. This trade was killing two birds with one stone. Both sides were satisfied.
When Ma Nan arrived, he personally brought them out. However, not long after they left, he disappeared. The rest of them didn't care and went back on their own.
This time, most of them were very satisfied. Apart from some people, they found that some things were missing. However, they didn't care about their complaints because sometimes they weren't fully prepared. It was normal that they didn't have anything this time.
Gu Zheng also exchanged everything he had. Because he had enough, he exchanged a lot of things. However, he wasn't ranked in the top few.
After giving the things to the captain and Little Hou, their attitude towards Gu Zheng became better. Although they knew that they wouldn't have such good things for a long time, they were satisfied. After all, such people were rare.
Although Gu Zheng gave them a lot of things, he didn't care about them. He could only pretend to be happy and discuss with them.
As for Mo You, she was the poorest one. She didn't exchange anything. She was just going through the motions.
After returning to the station, everyone discussed for a while and dispersed.
After Gu Zheng returned to the house, he disguised himself a little and sneaked into Mo You's room. His appearance gave her a fright, but she covered her mouth the moment she opened it and didn't make any sound.
"Too cowardly."
Gu Zheng felt a little regretful in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He directly took out most of the things he had exchanged. Facing Mo You's question, he directly transmitted his voice.
"Don't take these out. I've left traces on them. There might be a battle soon. Save your life. Don't expose them before."
There were a lot of things, and Gu Zheng also gave her a small hidden storage item. It was very inconspicuous, enough for her to hide without being discovered.
"Thank you! Why are you helping me? I'm just a useless and cowardly piece of trash. "
Mo You said gratefully. At the same time, she was very nervous.
"No one is born a piece of trash. Since you know that I'm also a piece of fate, you can't just stand by and watch. In any case, I don't need these things. Since you're here, don't give up so easily. Perhaps you have advantages that you can't see."
Gu Zheng was stunned. Then, he casually said, "Be careful.
At that time, I might not be able to take care of you all the time. Take them out then. "
After saying that, Gu Zheng directly left quietly, leaving only a few things behind.
Truth be told, Gu Zheng's' fate 'was naturally something he had casually mentioned. Initially, his motive for doing so was very simple. It was just to shut her mouth. However, why would a Golden Immortal be so timid? In addition, the other party was harmless. More or less, there was a trace of pity.
In addition, Gu Zheng was sure that the other party wasn't that simple. He knew where she was. When he quietly left, he could feel that the other party seemed to have seen him. This surprised him. One must know that the distance between them was very large. It was really beyond his expectations that the other party could still detect them.
If he pulled the other party over, then with the other party's perception, she might be able to help him find Pan Xuan. Of course, he had to find an opportunity to ask if the other party could be used to find people. He still had the things that Pan Xuan gave him. If she could detect him, then he wouldn't have to work so hard.
Gu Zheng's idea was not bad. This time, he sold the other party a favor. During the battle, he would take care of Ma Nan. After that, he would definitely be able to find out the other party's specific abilities.
However, when he thought of Ma Nan, Gu Zheng wanted to grit his teeth and leave when they left the city. If he really dared to accompany them back halfway, Gu Zheng would definitely kill him. Unfortunately, he didn't leave for long before the other party ran away.
Even if he forced himself to go up at that time, it would take some time to kill him. At that time, the monster spirit would definitely come over. Then, he might not be able to kill the other party. Instead, he would beat the grass to scare the snake.
However, when he thought of Elder Gu's swift actions and the monster spirit's purpose here, there was no need to look. Soon, they would start a new round of battle. Moreover, they would probably follow along.
What he needed to do was to take advantage of this opportunity to help Elder Gu uproot Ma Nan. Only in this way could he remove the threat of Elder Gu.
In the next few days, nothing seemed to happen. However, more and more people came to the camp. Some of the people who went out had already returned. Even some rumors had spread throughout the camp.
"Master Hou, do you think we are really going to take revenge?"
When they came out, Gu Zheng went to Little Hou's side and asked. Now that everyone was talking about the battle, it wasn't a question that couldn't be asked.
"Although I'm not sure, Captain Xi has already gone. It's very likely." Little Hou wasn't as happy as before. His expression was somewhat serious. After all, they all knew how powerful the other party was.
"Then do we have to go too? Why does it seem like everyone is going to fight? How many people do they have? Can we beat them? "Gu Zheng asked worriedly.
"We have more than a thousand people. The other party only has a few dozen people at most. At most, they have a few hundred puppets. However, Captain Xi said that we are going to launch a surprise attack. As for the specifics, I don't know," Little Hou said. This information was mixed with the rumors. Everyone who needed to know knew.
"I also heard about this. However, we are making such a big fuss. Are the other party fools? They should have noticed it long ago." Gu Zheng asked with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know. Perhaps the other party doesn't even know. As far as I know, the other party only has a few people. If it weren't for the monsters they summoned, we would have already extinguished them last time."
"Oh, so that's the case. We are really unlucky to have to fight as soon as we arrive."
Before Gu Zheng could finish complaining, Little Hou covered his mouth. Then, he looked around and didn't find anyone paying attention to them. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief. Then, he said to Gu Zheng in a serious tone. "Don't say that.
Everyone here is loyal to Senior Ma. Whatever he tells us to do, we do it. What's the point of thinking so much? You have to know that aside from here, there is nowhere else to go. The Demon Soul side won't take us in. Once Soul Alliance and Lonely City catch you, they will imprison you and make you work for them. It is very cruel. If you disagree, they will torture you for fun. With Senior Ma, we have a place of freedom. "
"Yes, yes!"
Gu Zheng quickly nodded, indicating that he understood. In his heart, he thought that these people had already been brainwashed to this extent. They probably hadn't even gone there to take a look. They just took it for granted.
Probably only the first batch of people knew the situation. However, they were all loyal to Ma Nan and wouldn't say anything. As for the newcomers, after being pulled here without any contact, after a long time, they would all talk bad about each other. Even with their high cultivation, they would subconsciously believe them.
Who told them to not have a map here? Wanting to find Soul Alliance and Lonely City's location was simply too difficult. Once they couldn't find them and their soul stones were gone, they could only rely on fate. More often than not, they would be killed by the small bands of roaming bandits.
In reality, the small bands of roaming bandits liked these newcomers to replenish themselves or recover their memories. Moreover, as long as they didn't target Lonely City, they could return to being good citizens in the blink of an eye.
In less than two days, Xi Xian, who had left, returned and quickly gathered everyone.
"In the past few days, you've all heard that this time, most of us have to go together. Otherwise, if this continues, the enemy will kill even more of us. Our captured companions will also be refined into various monsters. This time, we will follow Senior Ma's orders and flatten the enemy to avenge our companions."
"Kill the enemy."
Other than Gu Zheng and Mo You, the others all began to shout.
Not only them, but other places also began to let out waves of battle cries that soared into the sky.
After encouraging everyone once more, Hei Feiduo led everyone out of the room.
Each small group, like tributaries, gathered together to form a rather large river. Everyone's will was like a stronghold.
After they gathered outside, not long after, the entire group set off again, leaving behind an almost empty camp.
Gu Zheng also set off with everyone in the group. However, he still hadn't seen the person leading the way. This time, it was probably that so-called Commander Mi. However, he still hadn't seen him yet. Perhaps he would only see him once they reached the destination.
"Senior Hou, how long are we going to walk for?" Gu Zheng quietly nudged Little Hou and asked in a low voice.
Although Xi Xian didn't say anything, he felt that Little Hou definitely knew. After all, their relationship was very good.
"It's about a three-day journey. Don't worry, the supplies are already in front, and even some weapons have arrived. This time, we'll be fully armed. When the time comes, the enemy definitely won't be able to stop us."
Little Hou felt that Gu Zheng was a little worried. After all, he had just arrived, and it was impossible for him to say that he was risking his life. Therefore, he comforted him.
"Then I'm relieved. I heard from the people last time that they're bare-handed. The damage to them is very small." Gu Zheng got the information he wanted, but he still took advantage of the situation to say it.
After saying that, he chatted for a while and retreated.
Gu Zheng's body was slightly behind, and he directly came to Mo You's side at the back of the group. When he saw the other party's surprised gaze, he nodded affirmatively.
Only then did Mo You nod, indicating that she understood Gu Zheng's meaning.
In the next moment, Gu Zheng once again left his body behind for Mo You to take care of. Then, he disappeared from the group.
Gu Zheng's eyes immediately became dull because this time was different from the last time. The range of departure would definitely be much larger. If no one helped to cover him, it would be easy for him to be discovered.
However, he had three days. If he didn't stop along the way, there should be enough time.
After quietly leaving this huge group of people, Gu Zheng sped up and rushed in the direction they were heading.
Although Gu Zheng didn't know Elder Gu's location, he could still guess according to the direction he was heading.
After half a day, Gu Zheng's figure had slowly slowed down because there were already three powerful auras entrenched in front of him. It was so obvious.
Gu Zheng was very familiar with two of them. They were the so-called Lord Jin and his subordinate. However, although his subordinate was also at the mid-stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm, he could clearly feel that his strength was slightly weaker.
As for the other one, although his cultivation was at the early-stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm, his aura was not weaker than Lord Jin. He should also be a ruthless character.
Near them, there were many auras that Gu Zheng was familiar with. They were all the other party's subordinates.
He did not approach the other party. Once he approached, he would be easily discovered by the other party. Instead, he circled around from afar and continued to fly forward.
Not long after, he saw a small mountain in front of him. Some people were walking in a hurry on the open space, as if they did not notice the danger that was close at hand.
"Hmm? It's actually this. "
As soon as he approached, Gu Zheng understood why the other party was so close to him. However, he was not too worried that the other party would appear because there was an invisible barrier in front of him that had completely enveloped the area inside.
Obviously, this barrier had been placed here when they had failed the first time.
In other words, if the other party wanted to come out, he had to break this barrier and completely trap them inside.
