"Thank you."
Fei Yi smiled at the demon soul guard here.
"Small matter, you should hurry over. These days, people often pass by here. Be careful not to bump into them. Speaking of which, why are you so conspicuous this time?" The guard lazily leaned against the bridge and said to Fei Yi.
"Something happened. A friend was injured, so I had to invite a senior over to take a look." Fei Yi pointed at the carriage behind him and said helplessly.
"I was just asking. I couldn't be bothered with you." The guard watched the carriage slowly climb up the bridge and retracted his gaze.
"Next time, I'll invite you for a chat. I'll take my leave first." Fei Yi said goodbye again and left with the carriage behind him.
Under the watchful eyes of another Demonic Soul stationed on the opposite side, he gradually left.
At the top of the bridge, there was a demon soul guard on the left and right. In reality, this place was no different from an exile. Normally, there wasn't even a ghost here. After all, demon souls wouldn't go there, and soul alliance wouldn't come here. Even if there were private interactions, they would secretly do it at the bottom. Who would walk here openly?
It was only in this period of time that there were too many people passing by. If one counted carefully, there were several times more people than in all the previous years.
The meaning of their existence was to show that this place was controlled by them. In reality, the two of them were at the bottom of the hierarchy who weren't valued. Otherwise, they wouldn't have guarded here for so long. With a few tricks by the outer soul, the two of them were able to sympathize with them and support them.
Of course, this required some resources. No matter how poor the outer soul was, they could still take this out.
"Hurry up."
After crossing the bridge, they would, in theory, enter soul alliance territory. However, there were no traces of soul alliance in the distance. Although they called themselves the free soul alliance, they were still afraid of causing misunderstandings and tried their best to stay away from demon soul territory. Fei Yi said as he approached the carriage.
"Yes, Senior Fei."
A six-limbed, fat, and huge beast that looked like a pig was moving swiftly in front of them. Other than the soft sound of the wheels turning, no other sound could be heard.
This was because the beast pulling the carriage was also an external soul. However, it was quite deformed and could not completely transform into a human, so it usually maintained a half-human half-beast appearance. Its strength was at the early Jin Xian Stage, and there was another external soul with similar cultivation acting as the driver.
Fei was also taking care of Gu Zheng inside.
As for why he had to go through so much trouble to disguise himself, it was because he knew that this place had already been taken over by the Demon Souls. And with Gu Zheng's uniqueness, it was better to keep a low profile. If the Demon Souls encountered him, he could still disguise himself and fool them.
Even if they relied on the soul river and Soul Alliance's demon souls, they could barely maintain their strength. However, if they wanted to recover and cultivate, it was impossible.
Once they were exhausted in a battle, they would have to return to recover. He was very clear about this. Of course, he could also use more soul stones to replenish his energy. However, that was relatively more extravagant. For most people, it was definitely not a feasible method.
This was also the reason why all the demon souls were envious of the humans and demons who came here. Although they couldn't rely on this place to increase their cultivation, they could use the Soul Stones to cultivate. Of course, the speed was simply too slow. He was envious that the other party could recover their cultivation wherever they were.
"Stop, where are you from? What are you doing?"
In just half a day, two Demon Souls suddenly blocked their path. An aura instantly emitted from their bodies and enveloped their group. The moment they made any movements, they would be able to react immediately.
Only two early-stage Golden Immortal demonic souls were blocking their path.
They saw them from afar and knew their identities. They were also on the Demon Souls' side. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as interrogating them.
"I was asked by Senior Qi to come here for a private matter." Fei said the excuse he had thought of long ago.
The other party was a middle ranked Clan Leader. They had a good relationship and secretly supported them. Many times, they would use his name. Even if they investigated seriously, the other party would cover for them.
"I see. Looking at your direction, you seem to be going down?"
As Fei Yi spoke, he pulled open the door of the carriage so that they could clearly see Gu Zheng, whose appearance and aura had been changed, lying weakly inside. One of them saw this and nodded his head.
"Yes, I naturally know about this. There is a senior living in seclusion down there. He asked me to ask for help from them." Fei said with a bitter face.
On the outside, under a little disguise, it was difficult for the other party to distinguish their identities. Moreover, they were Demon Souls with better integrity. The flaws on their bodies were not something they could see through with their strength.
"Then you can go. Without a pass, don't come near here."
After saying that, the two Demon Souls disappeared in front of them.
"I hope the journey will be so safe."
Seeing that they had passed smoothly this time, Fei also breathed a sigh of relief. However, he knew that this was just the beginning. He would naturally not encounter any serious questioning in the periphery. His destination was a city that was surrounded. It was just at the edge of the encirclement. At that time, he would be in real danger. It was very likely that he would encounter patrolling experts.
Although he was not afraid of meeting them, he was worried about Gu Zheng in the carriage. After thinking for a day and night in the temporary stronghold, he felt that this was the best way.
The small convoy began to move again. Although the route he chose was a bit of a detour, it could indeed avoid the other party's questioning. If they went straight through the other party's blockade, they would definitely be intercepted halfway.
As the convoy moved forward, there were close to two waves of questioning along the way. It was scary but not dangerous. After that, there were no more questions. They were almost at the bottom. Only then did they turn around and leave in the direction of the outer area. Fei Yi's idea was to go to the outermost area to avoid attracting the attention of others as much as possible.
In addition, their current attire had changed. The conspicuous carriage was naturally gone. Among them, the Outer Soul that was originally fat and followed the small house was now much slimmer. Its six limbs had turned into four limbs. Its outline was similar to a horse's, but it was still quite majestic.
Fei Yi hugged Gu Zheng and sat on it. Gu Zheng's eyes were closed tightly as he leaned against the back. Beside him was the coachman, but the coachman was also dressed as an attendant. A weapon hung on his waist, looking very much in line with human aesthetics.
After doing all this, they rushed towards the destination city with all their might.
At this time, more than half a month had passed, and they rushed from the edge to the inside.
For seven days in a row, they had already approached the edge from the outside. They did not stop along the way. Fei Yi also discovered that the cities they passed by were all tightly shut and had activated their defensive formations. It looked like a great war was about to come. It was very troublesome to enter and exit.
Fei Yi naturally did not know that some time ago, under the provocation of Zhu Hun, a very far-reaching battle had been launched here. Almost all of the members were involved.
However, looking at the surroundings, he was not too sure whether the other party was still in that city. After all, the information he knew seemed to be from a thousand years ago. Under normal circumstances, the other party would not leave at all. However, it was hard to say at this stage. Who knew if the other party had left because of the war? Moreover, the other party was not very strong. What if the other party died?
"Forget it, let's wait and see."
At this time, there was only a day's journey left. Even if Fei Yi was feeling more and more uncertain, he would still go and take a look first. If there was no other way, he would bring the other party back. Perhaps that Elder Gu would have a way.
Thinking of this, he wanted to slap himself twice. Why didn't he think of this at the beginning? Perhaps it was because the other party was also a special Monster Soul, so he subconsciously excluded the other party.
When they had already seen half of the city's outline and could vaguely see the other party's open city gate, they would only need a short while to enter. This made his tense heart relax.
Firstly, the other party's city was not as tense as the outside. It seemed that it would be easier to enter.
Of course, the most important thing was that they did not encounter a single interrogation along the way, which made them feel much more relaxed.
"Looks like my disguise is not bad. At this distance, the other party will definitely not come."
Sensing that Gu Zheng's aura had not changed, Fei Yi looked around and did not sense any aura. He was somewhat proud of himself.
However, the more he spoke of it, the more it would happen. Seeing that they were less than a kilometer away from the city, two figures suddenly flashed and stopped in front of them, coldly looking at Fei Yi and the others.
Fei Yi and his companions could not help but stop when the other party did not even open their mouths.
The pressure that the other party gave them was too great, and they simply did not have the slightest ability to resist. It was as if under the other party's gaze, the control of their bodies had been handed over to the other party. By the time they reacted, they found that they had already stopped.
"Se … Senior, I wonder what's the matter?" Fei Yi stuttered after seeing the symbol on the other party's chest.
"Oh, you know me?"
The woman in front of him saw Fei Yi's reaction, raised her eyebrows, looked up and down, and then said.
This was because although the person next to him was also terrified, it was obviously the kind of instinctive fear towards the strong, unlike the person in front of him who seemed to know his identity. Moreover, the other party seemed to be somewhat interested.
Fei Yi looked at the other party's playful eyes and could not help but swallow a breath, but he still spoke honestly.
"I found out about your existence by chance, the boss of the Dark Snow Organization."
"As expected of an Outer Soul. However, I have no interest in finding trouble with you. You look so sneaky and dress up like that. What are you going to this city for?" The woman looked around and then fixed her gaze on Gu Zheng.
"We have something to do. Please don't make things difficult for us, Master. We, the Outer Soul, will remember this time." Fei Yi forced himself to explain.
"Master Gai, why are you talking nonsense with the other party. We …" The woman next to him spoke. She wanted to say that they still had a mission and that they should capture them first, but she was immediately interrupted by Gai Jin.
"I know. You don't need to remind me."
As he spoke, Gai Jin walked forward, looked at Fei Yi who was riding on top of him, and said coldly.
"Get down."
Without waiting for Fei Yi to speak, the Outer Soul under him had already knelt on the ground as if his legs had turned to jelly. Fei Yi also obediently got down from above, and laid Gu Zheng on top of him.
"What are you doing here?" Gai Jin waited for Fei Yi to get into position, and immediately questioned him rudely, like a superior questioning a subordinate.
"I'm carrying out a mission. Someone on my side is injured …" Fei Yi still forced himself to speak.
He was not lying about this, because the other party could completely tell if he was lying or not. Only when he was ninety percent true and one percent false could he not be seen through.
"Hehe, is that so?" Gai Jin gave a fake laugh. Clearly, he did not quite believe him, and stared at Fei Yi with a very threatening gaze.
"It's true. Master, you can tell at a glance." Fei Yi felt that the other party had seen through his little trick, and felt a chill in his heart. However, he could only reply firmly.
"Then I'll take a look. The situation here is special now. In order to prevent people who shouldn't enter, I'm sure you're aware of this." Gai Jin directly went with the flow.
"Of course I know. I don't know what Master wants to do, but I'll do it!" A drop of cold sweat dripped down Fei Yi's heart, but he had no other choice. Who would have thought that he would be stopped here?
Gai Jin did not stand on ceremony. He directly stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and touched Gu Zheng's face.
Speaking of which, it was quite a coincidence. Because they had just returned from scouting outside, they encountered the Outer Souls sneaking around, and seemed to want to enter this place.
In reality, she shouldn't have cared about this. However, she just happened to be passing by, and with a sweep of her eyes, she felt that something was wrong, so she came down to take a look.
However, she didn't hate the Outer Souls, but she also didn't like them, even if she had almost been included in the Outer Souls.
However, she was very curious about what the Outer Souls wanted to do, especially this unconscious and seemingly injured person. However, to be able to come here, he had naturally been questioned by many people. Perhaps there was nothing wrong with him, but she felt that this person was somewhat familiar.
Originally, she didn't want to meddle, as she still had to go back and report. However, the feeling in her heart caused her to stop.
Although the Outer Souls had so-called friends in Soul Alliance, she believed that if they dared to speak any unfavorable news, the moment this side found out, Wen Tianhou would probably personally come and get rid of them.
Seeing the hands approaching Gu Zheng's face, even Fei Yi's heart was burning with anxiety, but he didn't dare to stop it. Although his disguise was exquisite, in front of absolute strength, it was still not enough, and the opponent easily found a flaw.
At this moment, Gai Jin's hand was already on Gu Zheng's face. Afterwards, a faint black stream of air emitted from her hand. It was like a gentle breeze blowing through willow branches. However, the originally ordinary face began to dissipate under this gentleness.
At this moment, Fei Yi felt his heart in his throat. Not only him, but his two companions were also like this. Although they didn't recognize Gu Zheng, his aura clearly wasn't a Demon Soul. However, after training in the outside world for a long time, he could at least control his own emotions and not reveal them.
"Yi."
As the original face disappeared, an angular face appeared. However, Gai Jin also didn't recognize this person.
At this moment, Gu Zheng, who originally had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. His gaze was like a sharp arrow that shot into Gai Jin's eyes. His sharp gaze caused the latter to jump in fright and subconsciously take a step back.
"I don't know why you're blocking my path." A hoarse and dull voice was squeezed out from Gu Zheng's throat like a heavily injured person.
"It's just a routine inspection. I hope you understand."
Although Gai Jin said this, her eyes were still closely staring at Gu Zheng, trying to find something on him. She didn't expect him to be a Human Soul Initial Stage person. However, she still felt it was strange.
Suddenly, a small token appeared from the waist of the person in front of her. At the same time, Gu Zheng released a portion of his aura, allowing the opponent to easily sense his aura.
"Sorry, I didn't know Heavenly King's subordinates were carrying out a special secret order. I'll personally ask for forgiveness later."
When she saw the token, her heart thumped. Sensing the faint aura in the other party's body, she immediately said in a fawning manner.
Gu Zheng nodded slightly and closed his eyes again. At the same time, another ordinary face covered his face. Only the token was still slightly rippling in the air. There was only one word on it.
"Palace."
"Let's go!"
Gai Jin immediately turned her head and shouted to her subordinate. At the same time, she gave Fei an apologetic look. Then, the two quickly left and disappeared into the distance.
Even now, Fei still couldn't react. When did Gu Zheng become a subordinate of the Heavenly King? Why hadn't he seen or heard of that token before? The only fortunate thing was that the other party seemed to be afraid of this token and left on his own accord.
However, he quickly reacted and hurried to Gu Zheng's side.
"Sir, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Let's continue. Take this token with you. Although it won't be able to hide it from some people, it will still be a deterrent to some people who don't know about it," Gu Zheng said weakly with his eyes closed.
The aura he had released earlier did indeed contain a trace of Wen Tianhou's aura. After all, with his current state, he had really been injured by Wen Tianhou. In addition, the token in his hand made the other party think that he had some special mission.
If he hadn't woken up in time and the other party had discovered his identity, he wouldn't have been able to escape. Fortunately, he had woken up in time.
"Okay, what is this?"
Fei took the ordinary-looking token, but its weight was beyond his expectations. He almost couldn't hold it steady, so he couldn't help but ask.
"It's the identification method of the Heavenly King's secret team. Only people of a certain level can recognize it. However, if you use it a few times, you will definitely be exposed. Be careful," Gu Zheng said briefly.
That was the token that fell from a team of Little Goblin when he killed them in the Sword Mausoleum. At that time, he thought that it was something used to identify people, but he didn't see a single one. Later, he took it out to ask Meng Zhen. Only then did he know about its use.
"Thank you, sir. Let's hurry into the city now. There are some things that you must be confused about. I will explain them to you on the way."
When Fei Yi heard Gu Zheng's words, he hurriedly put away the token. Not to mention a few times, even if it was just once, it could save their lives. Naturally, he had to put it away solemnly. However, he didn't know that this thing wouldn't be used for long. Its only value was to let people know that there was an additional story behind the token.
Following that, Fei Yi also walked beside Gu Zheng. As they walked toward the city not far away, he began to tell Gu Zheng about what had happened after he fainted.
