"Hey, why do you think the City Lord is looking for this person? Although the things he's researching are useful, there's no need to make such a big fuss. It's as if we won't come back if we can't find them. "
At the place where they stayed behind, a few people were gathered inside. The side had been rummaged through again, but other than some low-value soul stones, they didn't find anything valuable.
They came late, and the things that could catch their eye had already been taken away.
"How would I know what the City Lord is thinking? If this guy didn't come back to get something, we wouldn't have any clues at all."
The other person pursed his lips and gestured at the half-dead young man below.
However, under their many interrogations, the other party didn't reveal any information at all. Just as they were about to capture him and bring him back, another one came.
However, the leader had already gone to capture him. In his opinion, there was no more suspense. Perhaps he could get some clues from the little guy.
"Hey, this guy woke up."
A person next to him saw the young man slowly wake up and didn't hold back. He directly walked over, grabbed the lapel of the young man's chest, dragged him over, and threw him on the table in front of him.
"Stay here obediently. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame us for killing you." He looked at the young man coughing twice and turned his gaze to himself. He stretched out his hand and wiped his neck, threatening him sinisterly.
"Haha!"
The few people next to him laughed, but they still firmly surrounded the young man, not giving him a chance. They still knew their mission and had the necessary vigilance.
He sat up with difficulty and looked at the few people next to him with sorrow in his heart. He came to get an important thing, and just as he was about to leave, he met them and was directly blocked here.
Now there were only a few people left, and they had obviously gone to catch the little guy. He didn't know if she escaped or not, but he really didn't come back at the right time. He also pretended to accept his fate and sat on the table to lower their vigilance. His eyes were constantly looking around, trying to find a chance to leave.
"Kacha!"
As they continued to talk, a soft sound suddenly came from the door. It was like a person accidentally stepped on a piece of rotten wood and stepped on it in half.
"You guys watch him. I'll go take a look. Don't let others take him away."
The person who first grabbed the young man said to his companions as he carefully walked forward.
Even if he could see everything in front of him, he couldn't sense any threat, and he couldn't see any enemies.
He knew that they were not the only ones who were eyeing that person.
The others also took out their weapons and looked around vigilantly.
The young man's eyes lit up. At this time, they were all vigilant outside and did not pay attention to him. This was the best opportunity. Even if his internal injuries were not light, he stood up directly and slammed into the wall behind him.
That wall used to be where the door used to be, but after some simple modifications, its position was changed. Now, it was the weakest part of the wall, and it could be broken open with a single bump.
His movements were fast, but the person next to him was even faster. After he moved, the person reached out to grab him. When he saw that he couldn't stop him, the person's claw turned into a palm and slammed it heavily on his chest.
They had received instructions that they would rather die than let the other party escape. Thus, they did not show any mercy at all.
The young man gathered all his strength and crossed his arms in front of his chest. Then, it was obvious that his arms were flattened by the other party, and then the other party hit him right in the middle of his chest.
His face swelled, and a large mouthful of black gas was spat out from his mouth. His whole body was like an arrow, and he directly hit the wall behind him, creating a hole. A large amount of smoke and dust came out of the hole, blocking everyone's sight.
However, the moment he hit the wall, another person had already stepped forward, crossed the dust, and was ready to grab him back.
"He's gone! He's luring us away. "
A shout came from behind, and the faces of the people in front changed when they heard it. They broke through the walls and rushed over, shooting in all directions at the same time. There was even one person who flew to the roof, looking around, trying to find traces of the other party.
Soon, their figures gathered again, and their faces became very ugly because they couldn't find the young man's figure at all.
"I'm sure that I didn't show any mercy. The other party is at least half dead. It's impossible for him to get up and escape." The person who attacked said with gritted teeth.
"I know, but who can save him from under our noses?" The person on the roof also jumped down. He also didn't find any traces, and asked curiously.
Although these people weren't weak, the other party's strength was definitely not strong. If he was really an expert, he wouldn't be afraid of them and directly come up to snatch him. Why did he have to do that to distract them?
"Ah!"
The others were about to speak when suddenly, a familiar scream came from afar, causing them to be terrified.
"It's the leader's voice, quickly go!"
When they saw this, they didn't have time to look for that person and immediately rushed over.
Soon, they arrived in front of a small alley, but what they saw made them panic.
In the small alley, all their people were lying on the ground unconscious, which made them feel relieved. At least they weren't dead. They were really dead, but there wasn't a single trace left behind. They didn't even have to destroy the corpse to get rid of the evidence.
They hurriedly swept their eyes over the crowd and saw the leader in the farthest place. At this time, he was resisting the pain and was trying to get up. They hurriedly went over and helped him up in a hurry.
"Leader, what's going on? Is that brat really that strong? "A member said in shock.
It had to be known how much time had passed, and they were all knocked down. And from the surrounding traces, they didn't even have the slightest ability to resist.
"No, we're just a little unlucky. We just happened to meet a busybody whose cultivation is the same as the City Lord's. It's really a blessing in disguise. At least the other party isn't so cruel and left us all alive."
The leader said with some relief. He didn't think that there would be such a strong hidden expert in this place. Fortunately, they didn't have time to provoke the other party before they were knocked down. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to keep their lives.
"Let's go, wake the others up. We're leaving this place. The City Lord's mission has failed."
Thinking of that person's threat before he left, he immediately shivered. He didn't care about their injuries and immediately wanted to leave this place. He didn't care about the danger.
If they stayed here for a little longer, the other party might be unhappy and none of them would be able to leave.
After the group of people woke up, they didn't stay any longer. They supported each other and left this place.
At this moment, outside the city, Hua Xin had already met up with Gu Zheng who had been waiting for a while. She was dragging an injured and unconscious man. It was none other than the young man who had disappeared.
"Let's go. You take her and give him a simple treatment."
Gu Zheng took a look and confirmed that the other party's life wasn't in danger. Then, he didn't stay any longer and left with Hua Xin.
After changing her appearance and saving the little guy, the other party had already left this place. Moreover, it seemed that she already knew where her husband was and was speeding over there.
Soon, they caught up with the little guy again and followed far behind him.
"Why are you following him? Are you in contact with the person behind him? "
On the way, Hua Xin couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked again.
"There's nothing to hide. I'm going to find someone. I can feel the other party's aura from her body. I'm sure I've come into contact with her before," Gu Zheng said directly.
He was taking advantage of this to get closer to her so that she would be more willing to help him. He also knew about this little scheme.
He had to give her a carrot after beating her with a stick. He couldn't keep suppressing her. Even with her personality, it was easy for her to rebel.
"Is it a very important person? Weren't you going to the palace city in a hurry? Now that you've changed your path, you're no longer in a hurry."
Hua Xin didn't know what it meant to be insatiable. Hearing Gu Zheng's words, she immediately leaned over and asked curiously.
"You can say that. They're all important people. However, if I find her, she can help me better. I don't know how much stronger she is compared to you," Gu Zheng said calmly without any emotion on his face.
In reality, his heart wasn't as calm as he looked on the surface. This was because at this moment, he realized something terrifying. Unknowingly, the other party had indeed become a more important person to him.
It had nothing to do with love. It was just friendship. He was very clear about this.
This was because he wasn't a heartless person. A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. Moreover, the other party had helped him many times without asking for anything in return. Even if he rejected the other party, the other party was still helping him.
Even if he had a heart of stone, he couldn't just leave her in the lurch. Especially when the other party was looking for a healing item, the situation probably wasn't good. This was why he didn't hesitate to search for the other party's information first.
No matter what, he had to at least let the other party leave first.
Hua Xin saw Gu Zheng's calm expression and didn't discover anything. She didn't continue asking curiously. The other party even gave a reason, so there was nothing to ask. She couldn't help but shift her gaze to the young man whose situation had improved.
"Why do you think that city became like this? Isn't that soul alliance's territory? Why do I feel like everything has gone out of control?"
"You don't know?" Gu Zheng was stunned and looked strangely at Hua Xin.
From what he had eavesdropped and the information he had interrogated the leader, he vaguely knew a bit.
"Of course I don't know. If I knew, why would I ask you? Could it be that you know? " Hua Xin's eyes lit up. She had just pulled away and came over again. With a gossipy look, she asked with glowing eyes.
"If you don't know, how could I know? Don't talk about it. You'll probably know in a while. "Gu Zheng's one sentence ended the topic.
Seeing this, Hua Xin could only shut her mouth. Even if she still had countless questions in her heart, when she saw Gu Zheng's tense expression, she didn't dare to speak.
Gu Zheng's ears were cleared and he felt much better. The other party was truly a descendant of the same bloodline. Like Meng Zhen, they were practically chattering non-stop. He felt like they were going to say everything they hadn't finished in their last life.
Soul alliance's current state made him feel like the demon souls had already made their move.
Originally, soul alliance already had some conflicts between them. This time, the eruption was like water flowing out of a canal. First, it was between the outer city lords. A few city lords were attacked by a mysterious faction when they weren't at home. From the traces left behind, it wasn't demon souls.
Through the traces, they found the other party, but the other party refused to admit it. The two sides got into a fight and their subordinates began to fight. Then, the entire soul alliance became a barrel of gunpowder. Then, for some reason, it exploded.
Then, from the outer city to the inner city, they began to fight randomly. The entire order became chaotic.
At the most intense moment, there were battles everywhere. That was when the final battle was at the Sighing Plains. Now, compared to the beginning, it was much calmer.
After this scene, soul alliance's strength weakened a lot. This was the result of soul alliance's alliance master, Lord Luo, trying his best to persuade everyone. At this time, other than the sporadic fighting, the fighting had basically stopped.
However, the fighting had stopped. Everyone's conflicts were out in the open. Now, soul alliance was fragmented and wasn't as united as before. Now, city lord Luo was preparing to invite all the city lords to his place, which was also where soul alliance had taken root. He was preparing to resolve this meaningless conflict.
Otherwise, without anyone else doing anything, the soul alliance that had been maintained until now would cease to exist.
This was all the information that the leader said. As for more detailed information, there wasn't enough time, so he didn't ask. After teaching the other party a lesson, he left.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Gu Zheng and the others followed the little fellow in front of them closely. They came to a place in the middle of nowhere. After the other party took a strange step on the ground, it seemed to enter another time and disappeared in front of them.
Gu Zheng stopped in the distance and squinted his eyes to observe the front. The moment the other party disappeared, he felt a special aura that disappeared in an instant. He couldn't catch it.
However, he was sure that the other party was in this place. Perhaps they could only enter using a special method.
"I remember her steps. Maybe we can follow her in." Hua Xin suggested. Then, she glanced to the side, "He's about to wake up. She can definitely bring us in."
"Not necessarily. Let's wait and see. If it doesn't work, we'll try again." Gu Zheng didn't reject. After all, this was also a method. This was also letting Hua Xin save the other party. At least it would show that they weren't targeting them.
As for whether Pan Xuan was here, he wasn't sure. However, he felt that the medicine was definitely what she wanted.
If the strength of the other party was good, he had already picked out the imprint on the little fellow's body. She would definitely notice and know that they were outside. As for whether the other party would see them or not, it wasn't up to them to decide.
Gu Zheng found a temporary place to hide their figures. He was prepared to wait for a while and observe the other party's reaction before deciding on his next course of action.
"Sir? Sir! "
On this side, the little fellow, who was in a hurry, shouted again after entering the hidden place in the wilderness.
At this moment, the landscape she was in was no different from the outside world. It was just hidden by some means. Those who didn't know would not be able to notice the difference even if they walked on it. They wouldn't interact with this place either. It was as if they were in another space.
In a courtyard surrounded by a fence, there was only a room surrounded by straw. There were a few withered trees outside. An old man was resting on the only stone bench in the garden. He only stood up when he heard the noise outside.
With a head full of white hair, a warm smile, and a simple gray gown, his temperament was particularly otherworldly. It was easy for people to associate him with a hermit living in seclusion, making people subconsciously ignore that he was actually a member of this place.
"You're finally back. If you didn't come in a few days, I would have gone to find you."
Seeing the little fellow come back excitedly, the old man went up and said with a smile.
"Sir, look, I've already mixed everything together and completed the task perfectly." The little fellow said with a smile. At the same time, she performed a magic trick and took out a small bag. It was only the size of her fist. All the things she had prepared had been placed together. She was only waiting for the master's sacrificial refining to be completed.
"Amazing. I thought something had happened to you outside. I was already preparing to look for you." Did something happen to you? Tell me about it. "
As the master spoke, he took the things over. At this time, the little fellow also approached him. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly covered it up and asked.
He had already discovered the mark on the little fellow's body. It was more like it was actively exposed. As long as he got close, he could easily find it.
"This time, the beginning was still very smooth, but the later part was a little dangerous. Fortunately, my luck was better …" the little guy said excitedly, quickly recounting his story, and at the end, his expression became gloomy, and he added another sentence.
"This is all thanks to the master's fortune! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come back. It's just a pity that senior brother was captured by the enemy. "
"I was wondering why he didn't come back. But don't worry, if I'm not wrong, your senior brother should be safe."
In the back room, the faintly discernible black light also dimmed, and the fierce aura in the air also fell.
He knew that someone was looking for him, and this place was not without precautions.
"Is that so? Could it be that you've already sent someone to save senior brother? "
Hearing that her senior brother was fine, the little fellow was obviously very happy. She circled around the master.
"Wait here. I'll be right back."
The master felt that he was almost dizzy from being circled around by the little fellow. He quickly pressed her head and ordered.
It seemed that the little fellow's journey was smooth, but he knew that there must be someone helping her behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could there be someone who randomly found those precious herbs for her, and someone who coincidentally protected her from the robbers of the water demons.
She was even able to escape from the encirclement of so many people, and the reason was that she disturbed the person who was resting nearby. That city could have run away long ago. How could there still be someone there? Only she, who was easy to fool, did not notice.
However, from the other party's actions, they should not have any malicious intent. If he guessed correctly, the other party should be outside. No matter what, he had to go and see the other party once, even if he was in a very bad situation now.
"Whoosh!"
However, just as he was about to go out, he suddenly heard a piercing sound in the air. Before he could react, a six-pronged dart the size of a stone mill suddenly appeared in the air. Half of its body was inserted into the ground beside him. Then, the sound of bubbles popping rang in the air.
Around the house, layers of ripples continuously appeared in the air.
The place where they were originally hiding was violently broken open, and they reappeared outside.
At this time, a woman with snake-like eyes appeared in the air. She was wearing a beautiful black armor, which set off her exquisite figure. At this time, she looked down from above and chuckled.
"Finally found you!"
