"Mister!"
The little fellow saw the unkind gaze sweep down from the sky and felt a shiver run down her body. She couldn't help but hide behind the mister.
"So it's you people. It seems I remembered incorrectly. To find me, you really put in a lot of effort."
The mister put his hand on the little fellow's shoulder to calm her trembling body. At the same time, he raised his head and spoke in an unkind tone.
He thought that the little fellow's troubles were all arranged by the other party to find his hiding place. The only thing he was confused about was that if the other party caught her, they could forcibly find out where he was from her mind. Why did they have to go through so much trouble? It could only be said that the other party did it on purpose.
"Of course. I never expected you to hide here. You made me look for you for a long time, but I finally found you. My family's boss has invited you. Are you going to refuse this time?"
She stared at Mister with her snake-like eyes, and her snake-like body was wriggling non-stop, as if she was following a snake. She stuck out her somewhat long and narrow scarlet tongue, licking her own cheek, and said sinisterly.
"You've done so much evil, yet you still dare to appear here. If Soul Alliance knew, do you think you'd be able to escape?" The mister knew he couldn't escape this time, so he didn't care about the other party. After all, the other party had a request, so he didn't give her any face.
"Laughable. Soul Alliance hasn't even settled their mess yet. How would they have the time to ask us? If you don't take the initiative, then don't blame me for being impolite. Though you're an important guest, the cute little fellow behind you looks delicious." The snake woman looked behind the mister and laughed. Her tone was even more threatening.
In her opinion, the other party had nowhere to go. The mister wasn't weak, but was still within Jin Xian's range. If it wasn't for the boss repeatedly telling her to use peaceful means before resorting to force, she wouldn't have wasted so much time talking and just forcefully kidnapped him.
"You …" the mister's face turned red, but after that, he didn't say anything. He then sighed and continued speaking.
"Fine, I'll go with you this time as long as you let my people go. Then again, the little fellow owes you a favor on the way here. Otherwise, he would've died already. Hand over my disciple, he's useless to you."
"What disciple? What use do I have for your disciple? If I had one, I would have eaten it long ago," the Snake Woman said impatiently.
Just now, a trace of fear flashed through her heart, as if the surroundings were spying on her.
She had already decided not to waste any more words with the other party. Even if the other party didn't want to leave, he had to leave. Her eyes flashed and her body was about to descend. However, at this moment, not far away, a strong aura suddenly rose up. At the same time, a figure quickly rose up and flew towards her. In the blink of an eye, it was above Mister and directly opposite her.
"If you want to take him away, you'll have to see if I'm willing." Gu Zheng stood on top and looked at the other side as he spoke unhurriedly. It was as if he was explaining something. He was definitely going to protect the other party.
The young man from before had already woken up, and Gu Zheng had already received news of Pan Xuan. The other party had indeed come here, and the thing he went back to take was the token that Pan Xuan had left for this place. However, as for where exactly it went, he would have to ask his master. Only he knew where the refined item would be sent to.
Even if he was asking, he was always paying attention to this side. When he saw the other party showing signs of impatience, he didn't have time to ask if he knew her origin and immediately rushed out.
"Who are you? How dare you go against us? If you don't want us to find you, then go back to where you belong. Don't make trouble here."
The snake woman saw that a troublemaker had appeared. His aura was not below hers, and she felt a strong sense of threat. Judging from the other party's position, it seemed that he had been protecting Mister.
"The Dark Snow Organization!"
In a heavily guarded place in the distance, he had just woken up and was thanking Hua Xin. When he heard the voice above him, he subconsciously shouted. At the same time, he turned his head and saw the huge Six Chestnut Snow Dart on the ground in the distance. His body became even more panicked.
Not to mention him, even Mister clenched his fists tightly. Blue veins were popping out. He didn't expect to meet the other party in this place. He had thought that it was some city lord who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kidnap him and work for them.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and glanced at the person who had just come out to protect him. He whispered to the little fellow behind him.
"Have you seen the other party?"
"I have. It's just that the other party gave me a few extra herbs." Hit by the aura, the trembling little fellow raised his head and looked carefully before immediately speaking.
Gu Zheng's appearance hadn't changed. Although he couldn't see clearly at that time, he left a deep impression and recognized him instantly.
"It seems that it's the other party. I misunderstood."
Mister finally understood something. However, he didn't say anything right now. He directly pulled the little fellow into the distance, afraid that once the other party started fighting, they wouldn't be able to withstand the shockwaves alone.
As for the things on his side, he didn't care. Compared to his little life, even if there were some good things he had stored inside, he wouldn't risk staying here.
"So that's the case. This is the first time I've heard of this terrifying organization. So it's Soul Alliance's number one enemy. However, I have a premonition that the other party is finished." Hua Xin listened to the young man's narration and satisfied his curiosity.
"The other party is very strong, especially this woman. It's said that her original body is a Goblin monster snake. After coming here, she was like a fish in water. Her strength isn't as simple as it looks. If your companions can't do it, I think it's best not to take the risk." The young man advised. He knew that the other party, Xiong Ming, was very strong outside.
"I think that no matter how strong the other party is, they won't be his match."
Thinking of how Boss Jin and three others who were one level higher than him all died in defeat, the other party's strength couldn't be weak. More importantly, he had already gone out. Her opinion was useless.
The young man was stunned. He didn't know where her confidence came from. However, since things had come to this, it seemed that he couldn't do anything. He hoped that everything was going in the right direction.
At this moment in the sky, the two sides quickly broke down their negotiations. Their goals were completely opposite and neither side would give up.
Even if Snake Woman didn't really want to fight this unknown enemy, he had obstructed her mission. The only outcome was death.
The moment the negotiations broke down, it couldn't be less than a fight. Snake Woman wanted to see how strong this person who threatened her was.
A reddish purple whip appeared in her hand. She threw it directly at Gu Zheng. Accompanied by the sound of the whip, an enormous figure appeared in the sky and smashed down with a fierce momentum.
There were countless barbed hooks on it. Under magnification, it was very obvious. If it were to be scraped off from the body, it would bring up countless black fog. This was a soul tool that she had spent a lot of money to refine. It was extremely powerful even against demon souls.
Even if Gu Zheng wasn't a demon soul and this weapon's effect would be greatly reduced if it landed on him, he wouldn't stand still and let the opponent attack.
At the same time as the opponent's attack fell, he took out the green sword given to him by Elder Gu. It was enough to deal with her.
Jumping in the air and avoiding the opponent's attack, Gu Zheng directly rushed up, wanting to get close to the opponent and fight.
However, just as he pounced, he saw the ridicule in the opponent's eyes. He cursed in his heart, but then he saw the whip in the opponent's hand sweep across the air. An equally huge whip shadow appeared again and rushed in the direction he had to go.
At this time, although Gu Zheng felt that something was wrong, he couldn't change his direction. He could only support a green light to forcibly resist the opponent's attack.
Bang!
The next moment, his figure was directly sent flying by the whip shadow. The huge force made him unable to control himself. He fell to the ground, creating a large furrow. Fortunately, the green light was still stable. It only flickered a few times and didn't shatter.
The snake woman had already caught up. She swung the whip in her hand again. This time, countless hooks appeared in the air. They flickered with cold light and formed a dense wall in the air. It shot towards Gu Zheng's location.
Even if the dust below was rolling, the green light was very conspicuous. It was impossible not to see it.
But before the hooks fell, the green light below had already soared into the air. Facing the hooks that were close at hand, he directly punched the air. With a boom, a shockwave visible to the naked eye was instantly dispersed. The hooks in the air suddenly stopped, and at the same time, they began to shake. They were no longer as neat as before.
Then a green light flashed, and a hole was opened one after another. Gu Zheng's figure was already close to Snake Woman, and he launched an attack.
When Snake Woman saw this, she chuckled. No matter how the enemy attacked, she wasn't afraid. She had enough confidence.
After a short exchange, it seemed that the opponent didn't have a very good weapon. This made her feel a lot more at ease.
The whip in her hand swung flexibly. With a crisp sound, it was like a flexible snake, constantly attacking Gu Zheng in the air.
At the same time, the hooks outside formed a black ball under her control. It surrounded the two of them and constantly attacked Gu Zheng from the outside.
Gu Zheng did the same. He kept the shield and faced the opponent's strong attack. He calmly looked for the opponent's weakness. The opponent wasn't that stupid bull-like brother of his. He knew that once he reached the Grand Heavenly Realm, the opponent's memory wouldn't be lost. Although some spells couldn't be used because of the transformation of the body, the experience was still there.
Overall, the battle experience was relatively more than the demon soul. Under the same level, theoretically, the opponent would be suppressed. The only disadvantage was that the opponent didn't have a good weapon.
The shockwaves from the battle between the two would fall from time to time. The mister's house was now full of holes and no longer existed. The defense that he had set up could not withstand more than a few attacks and was directly shattered. Countless dust particles were stirred up in the air and the ground was constantly shaking.
"Our house is gone!"
The little guy who was pulled away by the mister and hid far away looked at the ruins with tears in his eyes. A few pieces of wreckage were still floating in front of him. He said sadly.
The mister's focus wasn't on his own house. To him, it was gone. At least it could be rebuilt. There were other places where he hid. He didn't feel any heartache, nor did he think of taking advantage of this opportunity to leave. He looked up with full concentration. No matter how fast he was, it would be very easy for the opponent to catch up to him no matter who won.
However, in his eyes, he could only see streaks of black and green light clashing. At the same time, sounds like the rumbling of drums were constantly heard. It made him dizzy and disoriented, and he didn't know who had the upper hand.
In his heart, he hoped that the mysterious young man would win. At least he wouldn't be captured by the opponent. Who knows what the opponent could do with him.
On the other hand, although the place where the young man and Hua Xin were was constantly exploding, they were still dizzy with Gu Zheng's defense. Other than the lack of strength in their bodies, they could only crawl weakly to reduce the interference from the outside world. They couldn't do anything else.
Even if Hua Xin wanted to look at the battle above, she couldn't do so. She could only prick up her ears and listen to the sounds of the battle above to judge the situation. Unfortunately, she couldn't distinguish anything.
"Ding ding ding"
Gu Zheng smashed the surrounding hooks into powder with a punch. At the same time, a large amount of energy erupted from his body, forcing back the hooks that surrounded him.
No matter how sharp these hooks were, they couldn't do anything if they couldn't advance to Gu Zheng's side. When dealing with the Snake Lady's attack, they could still accurately block the hooks' attacks.
However, with the obstruction of these hooks, and the fact that the opponent didn't seem to have much desire to attack, Gu Zheng didn't have any good ideas for the time being. He could only be in a stalemate for the time being.
"The opponent's strength isn't below mine, and it doesn't seem like he has any intention of engaging in a fierce battle. Some of the flaws seem to be deliberately exposed by the opponent to lure me into attacking."
The Snake Lady understood that the opponent was difficult to deal with as soon as they exchanged blows. She felt a faint sense of threat in her heart, as if she could cause unpredictable consequences if she took the opportunity to attack the opponent with all her strength.
It seemed that the opponent wasn't like this.
She believed in her intuition. Moreover, she had more important things to do later. Even if she injured herself and killed the opponent, the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
As she thought about it, a flaw suddenly appeared in front of the Snake Lady. Seeing this, Gu Zheng wasn't worried that it was a trap set by the opponent. Even when he lured the opponent just now, she didn't advance rashly. She was really very stable. Now that he didn't know why the opponent was distracted, he naturally wouldn't be polite.
This made the Snake Lady somewhat passive. In the face of Gu Zheng's attacks, they were like a storm. They didn't go back and forth like before. A few pieces of black fog were removed by Gu Zheng before she recovered and forced Gu Zheng to retreat.
At this time, she finally had the intention to retreat. Thinking about her mission, she didn't have much time left. She carefully looked at Gu Zheng, as if she wanted to remember him. A fierce look flashed in her eyes.
"This time, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I believe we'll meet again soon."
As soon as her voice fell, countless hooks around her rushed toward Gu Zheng in a suicidal manner. Before they could get close, they exploded in mid-air, blocking Gu Zheng's line of sight.
By the time the explosion subsided, the Snake Lady's figure had disappeared and left this place.
In fact, when the opponent left, Gu Zheng also knew that although he could stop the opponent, he didn't do so. He didn't come for Pan Xuan, so he naturally knew what was more important.
Everything would wait until he found Pan Xuan.
The mister, who was hiding below, also flew over quickly from afar. He saw that it was over and was afraid that the opponent would secretly kidnap him behind his back. It was better to stay close to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng landed from the sky and waved to another empty space, indicating that the surroundings were safe.
Seeing this, Hua Xin and the other two also walked out from their hiding places.
"Thank you, my friend. Thank you for saving my life." The mister leaned over and bowed solemnly.
On the other hand, the little girl behind the mister had a look of disbelief. She didn't expect Gu Zheng to be so powerful. There was also the Demon Spirit beside him and her senior brother. Only now did she understand why she was so safe along the way. She thought that she was lucky, but it turned out that someone was protecting her.
"Mister, it's also fate. I met this little girl on the way and learned about my companion. That's why I followed her. Please don't blame me!" Gu Zheng quickly helped the mister up and said at the same time.
"Why would I blame you? If it wasn't for your help, my disciple and this little girl might not be able to see each other again. Hurry up and thank me." The mister pulled the little girl to the front and signaled for her to thank him.
"Thank you!" The little girl also knew and quickly thanked him.
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. He bowed with his palm and helped the little girl up.
"Master!" The young man finally had the chance to talk to the mister. He came to the mister's side and said with a face full of guilt. Because of his recklessness, he almost couldn't make it back. His mister had previously objected to him taking the risk to get it.
"Mm, as long as you're safe." The mister looked at the young man with a good complexion and nodded. He didn't say much and turned his head to Gu Zheng to continue inviting him.
"This isn't the place to talk. Why don't we go to my other place? It's not far from here."
He knew that Gu Zheng had put in so much effort to find him. He was afraid that there was something going on.
Gu Zheng nodded and followed the young man out of the place.
A day later, in another place where the mister was hiding, Gu Zheng waited for everyone to settle down. After a few words of greeting, he finally spoke about his purpose for coming.
"You're looking for her? But do you know her name? "
The mister didn't expect that Gu Zheng wasn't looking for him. He was a little surprised. When he heard that he was looking for the owner of the stone in the little girl's hand, he also asked.
"Mister, please don't worry. I'm not her enemy. We're also very good friends. I'm here this time to look for her." After reporting the name, he roughly described Pan Xuan's appearance. Gu Zheng saw the mister's doubts and explained.
"I see. She left when the city was breached. It seemed that she had something important to do. However, she gave me a place and asked me to prepare the things and send them to her." The mister only knew the woman's surname. After the other party spoke, he also said.
He didn't think that Gu Zheng was her enemy. He had seen countless people and could recognize them. More importantly, Gu Zheng's approach was more important.
If she was an enemy, he wouldn't have spent so much effort to inquire about it. Just like the Snake Woman, with the other party's cultivation, he had no other choice but to compromise.
"Can you tell me the location of the other party? Thank you very much! "Gu Zheng immediately said after listening.
"In fact, I don't know the whereabouts of the other party. However, before the other party left, she asked us to refine a strange medicinal material. She asked us to bring the token and send it to the designated place." The mister took out the token handed over by the disciple.
It was a blue token, which seemed to be carved out of ten-thousand-year-old ice. It exuded a cold air that wasn't cold. There were no markings on it. It was simple.
"If you want to know, wait for me to refine the thing for the other party. Come with us to that place. You can ask the other party later."
