In the spacious room, Gu Zheng sat on a chair to the side. He looked at Sen Yan, who was sizing each other up, and sighed in his heart.
The once innocent and adorable girl was gone forever. At this moment, she was emitting an aura that kept people away. Even her beautiful face was covered with a layer of frost. Her eyes were filled with sadness and hatred. With just a glance, anyone could tell what she had gone through.
But the most eye-catching thing was the faint aura on her body. It was the aura of the demon god, but she didn't seem to want to be controlled. But demon gods had many tricks up their sleeves. For instance, Tang Li didn't think he was under their control, but he was already under their control.
"Clan Head Sen, long time no see," Gu Zheng greeted Sen Yan as if nothing had happened.
It had to be said that her icy aura only made him want to conquer her, especially given her status. Of course, he had no such thoughts.
"Long time no see, Gu Zheng!" Sen Yan's attitude was hard to tell whether she was good or bad. Her tone was icy and her voice was flat.
"I don't know why you invited me here," Gu Zheng felt the awkward atmosphere and took the initiative to ask.
He felt that if he didn't speak first, the other party might really end up wasting their time here.
"I didn't ask you to come, but someone else did."
Sen Yan raised a hand and a small silver ball flew out from her palm. It floated in the air and spun slightly, reflecting a silvery white light.
"This?"
Gu Zheng looked at the silver ball. From what he could sense, it was a very ordinary object. He couldn't tell what it was used for.
"You've just killed two of my companions. Have you already forgotten?" A sharp voice, as if someone was choking its throat, came from the silver sphere.
"Demonic God?" Meng Zhen looked at the small ball and said in disbelief.
"Of course. This is only my clone. My main body has important matters to attend to, so I don't have time to waste words with you," the silver ball continued to speak in that headache-inducing voice.
"Then why did you ask us to come here?" Gu Zheng's mind raced. He didn't know if the old man knew about the Patriarch, but since the old man's clone couldn't summon the Patriarch, he could only wait patiently.
"Although you once ruined my plans, I don't care. I'm not as stupid as my two companions. This world will not allow us to step into a higher level. Breaking through like this will only bring about a fatal disaster." "I didn't kill the innocent, and I didn't kill people indiscriminately. I just wanted to survive here. Don't use that ancestor to pressure me. I don't want to go back to that place where there isn't even a breath of fresh air."
Gu Zheng didn't believe his words at all, but he also knew that he was definitely aware of what had happened before.
"As long as you don't kill the innocent and don't interfere with my business, I won't care about you." Gu Zheng immediately said, "You also know that the other party is a friend of mine. Of course, I will ask."
"I can naturally let your friend go, but you have to swear that you won't ask about anything." The silver ball turned slightly and said.
"No problem. I can't be bothered to deal with you. I still have many things to do. As long as you're under my nose and you haven't hurt my friends or killed the innocent, I won't ask you anything." Gu Zheng only thought for a moment before agreeing to the other party's suggestion.
After the other party agreed, Gu Zheng immediately asked, "I'll take my friend and leave now. I don't want to be entangled with you here."
"No problem. Sen Yan, go with the other party and make sure they leave." The silver ball also agreed.
"No problem." Sen Yan stood up and said coldly, "Gu Zheng, just follow me."
However, Gu Zheng saw a flash of anger in the other party's eyes. He almost couldn't control his expression. This made him think again, but he had already stood up. He ignored the other party's tone and nodded at her.
"Sorry to trouble you, Sect Master Sen."
After leaving the silver ball alone, the group left the place and soared into the air, flying toward the other side of the island.
"I didn't think that after so many years, you would become the Sect Master. As a friend, congratulations." Gu Zheng said to Sen Yan with a smile on his face.
"What's there to congratulate? Father is dead. My husband is dead. That's why I was pushed up. Otherwise, if it was you who experienced the same thing, I would have immediately given up the position of Sect Master." Sen Yan was still the same. When she heard Gu Zheng's words, her face turned even more expressionless.
"Ha, my condolences." Gu Zheng didn't expect the other party to checkmate him. He laughed and said, "No matter what, we are still fated to meet. Can I ask you a few questions about medicinal herbs?"
"Speak!"
Sen Yan's speed began to decrease as she began to descend towards the bottom of the island. This was the edge of the island. Even from here, one could still feel the sea breeze blowing against them.
"I just have a few doubts in my heart. Help me clear them up. If it's Flowerview Grass and Flowerview Beads, how many of them can be used to refine the essence without any impurities?"
Coming down to the bottom, Gu Zheng continued to keep up with Sen Yan's pace. "Also, if you want to refine a low-level recovery pill, why do you need to use eight different kinds of herbs? The effect isn't that amazing. On the contrary, it feels a bit wasteful."
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, Sen Yan's footsteps abruptly came to a halt. Her pair of cold eyes then stared at Gu Zheng as if she wants to swallow him alive.
"What's the matter? You want to fight? " Meng Zhen immediately spoke up after seeing the other party's reaction. However, he didn't pull out his weapon.
"Who told you this? These things belong to our Medicine Sect, how do you know so much about them?" Sen Yan ignored Meng Zhen and continued to stare at Gu Zheng.
"Have you forgotten? During the last defensive battle, I spent a lot of time there so I naturally learned a thing or two. Walking in the wilderness, it's never a burden to have more skills. "Gu Zheng reached out his hand to signal Meng Zhen that he's fine.
"Then don't bother, I won't tell you." Sen Yan turned around and continued to lead the way. She had already rejected Gu Zheng's request.
Gu Zheng wasn't disappointed in the slightest. Shrugging his shoulders, he continued to follow.
"What's the big deal about that? I heard from the elders that we have even more advanced techniques. I'll help you find one later, it's even better than theirs." Meng Zhen grumbled as he came to Gu Zheng's side.
"It's okay, I'm just saying. It's a lot of work to go deeper, I'm just curious." Gu Zheng smiled and didn't explain much.
This was because only a select few knew the meaning behind those words. It was the core secret of the Blue Medicine Sect. It meant that there was an important clue that needed to be discussed. Moreover, it needed to be kept absolutely secret. Within the Blue Medicine Sect, there were only three people who knew of this secret.
They are the former Sect Master Sen Lu, the Vice Sect Master You Zhu, and the current Sen Yan.
Because this secret code was created by the three of them, it was to prevent them from being monitored if they were kidnapped one day. They also had another method, which was to separate a strand of their divine sense and create a space where no one could spy on them and communicate in it.
The reason why Gu Zheng knew about this was because he had obtained a collection from the underground ruins. You Zhu had purposely placed it there to inform the Oceanic Tribe so that they would be on guard. After all, the Sea King would not have kept them alive at that time, which led to them not being valued and allowed Gu Zheng to obtain it.
As for the other party's reaction, it's already confirmed. However, he has to wait until the other party initiates a meeting before he can secretly communicate with the other party. He doesn't know how to create a secret space without being discovered.
Next, Gu Zheng kept a close eye on Sen Yan. Even when they entered a large cave, the other party still didn't make any movements. She just silently led him and Meng Zhen forward.
This cave has been hollowed out. Rows of cages are densely packed on both sides. Upon closer inspection, there are at least a hundred of them.
The space inside each one is very narrow. At most, it's enough for people to lie down on the left and right sides. Outside are cages made of black light pillars, completely blocking the freedom inside.
Inside, most of the cages are already filled with people. As soon as they entered, they saw countless people looking at them.
These cages have no walls, and the gaps between the black pillars are enough for a hand to pass through. Of course, if anyone dares to reach out, they'll lose their arm. Some people have already experienced it and even lost their lives.
"Sen Yan, how can you face your father? You killed so many of your own people and even learned the power of darkness. You've completely changed. "
In one of the cages, a weak-looking old man stood up from the ground and shouted at Sen Yan the moment they entered.
His shout is just the beginning. Everyone else shouted at Sen Yan. Without exception, they all criticized her for everything she's done. She's changed the entire sect and made it fall into the abyss.
At the back, when a figure saw Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen, he shouted excitedly. Unfortunately, his voice couldn't be heard by so many people. However, Gu Zheng still saw the other party at a glance. After seeing that the other party's body is intact and didn't suffer any abuse, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Noisy!" Sen Yan glanced at the others and squeezed out these two words from her mouth. It was like a cold wind blowing through the crowd. The latter shuddered. The fear in their hearts made them stop talking.
The entire cave suddenly fell into silence.
"Whoever speaks will be punished by the sect rules. Now, everyone sit down obediently. I still have things to do. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
This time, everyone looked at each other. Soon, half of them listened to Sen Yan's words and sat down on the ground.
"I'm not afraid. When the previous sect master was here, how could we … Ahhhh!"
A strong Blue Medicine Sect disciple spoke very righteously. But before he could finish his words, Sen Yan pointed her finger at him. Suddenly, more than ten black pillars shot out from the black pillar beside him and hit him directly. As the black arc flashed, the disciple immediately screamed.
This kind of torture wouldn't take his life, but that kind of extreme pain wasn't something an ordinary person could endure. In just ten breaths of time, this courageous man fainted. Only then did the black light disappear, leaving him unconscious on the ground.
At this time, almost everyone sat down obediently and stopped talking. They've all experienced this kind of pain before. Unfortunately, Sen Yan has a heart of stone. She doesn't care about them at all.
On the other side, Lan Hai also didn't have his initial excitement. He stood there obediently and looked at Gu Zheng with burning eyes, hoping that the other party would come and save him.
Sen Yan looked around with satisfaction, then continued to walk towards Lan Hai's position.
"Lord Gu, are you here to save me?" Lan Hai waited until Gu Zheng and the rest arrived before he couldn't help but ask.
Gu Zheng glanced at Sen Yan. She simply stood to one side and extended her arm towards the black pillar in front of her. Simultaneously, the black pillar around her flickered with a black light, causing Blue Ocean to retreat two steps in fright. Only then did Gu Zheng speak slowly.
"Wait a little longer, the other party will be able to come out."
"Great, thank you Lord Gu for saving me." Lan Hai felt his tensed heart finally relax a little. He thanked Gu Zheng.
"What happened to you? How did they catch you?" Meng Zhen asked curiously from the side.
"Before I was caught, I went to the deep sea and found that the last piece of information had been taken away. I searched everywhere but couldn't find it. Just when I was in the city, I found some traces. Listen to me one by one." Lan Hai felt that he wanted to make the other party feel that he wasn't caught for no reason and that he was working hard. Therefore, he began to narrate.
While Lan Hai was recalling what happened to him, Gu Zheng and Sen Yan stood in place. They seemed to be listening to him. In fact, in a small space beside them, he and Sen Yan had already started a conversation.
Two golden and black dots of light, which was also a strand of their Divine Consciousness, started to interact with each other in this palm-sized space.
The golden dot of light was naturally Gu Zheng. He directly asked, "How did you become like this? Are you really working with the Demon God? But why didn't he confuse you? "
This was something that Gu Zheng couldn't understand. Based on what he saw and what Elder Qi said, it seemed that the Demon God didn't want to control this place. Even if he ordered the other party, he didn't force them too much.
This was completely different from what Elder Qi said. He had eyes, so naturally, he could see everything around him.
"Is the other party the Demon God? I thought he was just a demon that fell into darkness. " The black dot of light was silent for a while before it continued, "Why do you only have our secret code? If you don't make it clear, we have nothing to talk about."
"I got it from your Vice Sect Master, You Zhu. She asked me to take care of you. For this reason, I asked around for your location and rushed all the way here. However, your location is related to a missing friend of mine. I only found out about it a few days ago." Gu Zheng said very "frankly". With the other party's strength, it was still unable to see through the loopholes in his words.
Of course, what made Gu Zheng excited was that although the other party was under the influence of the Demon God and seemed to have to listen to him, it was still not completely under his control. Otherwise, it wouldn't talk to him at all.
"Husband …"
Gu Zheng could clearly feel the other party's low mood. In this narrow space, the emotions of both parties were easily magnified by this wisp of Divine Thought.
"I can answer your question. Regardless of whether the other party is good or bad, even if I have to pay any price, as long as my husband and father can be revived, I am willing to do anything." Sen Yan's voice was no longer as cold and distant as before. It sounded much more normal.
At this moment, she naturally understood everything that her father had done. Since he had done such a thing, he had formed karma with the other party. If the other party came looking for him, he couldn't blame them. Could it be that the other party had to listen to her father obediently and let him kill the other party's people without any fear? The attack of the Sea Clan was just a trigger.
She had never thought that her kind father would be so cruel behind the scenes. Perhaps that karma also fell on her. After a trip, she met her husband, fell in love with him, and only returned after thousands of years. At that time, the other party didn't know her identity and background at all.
She didn't realize at all that since he came to the island, everything else had changed except for his love for her. She saw him sitting alone by the sea many times, so lonely that she didn't know what he was thinking. At that time, she thought that the other party was under too much pressure and didn't realize anything at all. If she had been able to comfort him at that time, perhaps there wouldn't have been the tragedy in the end.
Thinking of the other party's tragic death in order to protect her in the end, her heart became heavier because she loved and hated You Zhu. Even if the other party wasn't dead and was standing in front of her, she didn't know what to do. The other party had killed her father with his own hands, even if he was also carrying a blood feud.
At this moment, her wish was so simple. It seemed that she didn't even think about what kind of battle would happen if the two of them were really together.
"The other party agreed to this condition of yours, so you agreed to it? But the other party is so strong, why would he still negotiate with you? " Gu Zheng naturally didn't know about the other party's inner turmoil. It was a nightmare that woke her up from countless nights of nightmares. However, he knew that the Demon God's character wouldn't be so weak. To them, he was the only existence, and everyone else was a slave that could be abandoned.
"After coming to this island, I found the other party by chance. However, the other party was extremely weak, and even felt that he would die at any time. If the other party didn't say that he could revive me in time, I would have killed him. Later on, I heard that everything he had was destroyed by someone, especially the most important secret realm. That place was completely destroyed, and he was almost dragged down." Sen Yan answered directly.
Gu Zheng didn't expect that he would unintentionally ruin the other party's plans. However, the other party deserved it. "Then can you tell me the location of the other party's main body?"
Now that the other party obviously hadn't recovered, it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill the other party. This was a very rare opportunity. Once the other party recovered, he didn't know how dangerous it would be. He wasn't a masochist. If he wanted the other party to recover his perfect strength and fight with him again, the right way to deal with uncontrollable things was to kill the source.
"No, I know that you want to kill the other party. In fact, I want to as well. However, everything is for my husband and father, so I'm sorry that I have to reject your suggestion." Sen Yan rejected Gu Zheng's suggestion without any hesitation.
Feeling the other party's determination, Gu Zheng suddenly said.
"If that's the case …"
"I agree! As long as you can do it! "
