"Look, there's someone up ahead!"
Elder Xiong was leading Tang Li towards Undying Volcano under the white clouds. Meng Zhen's sharp eyes caught sight of a figure standing in the distance and called out to them.
"It's someone from the South Sea."
Elder Xiong discovered the other party at the same time. The other party seemed to be waiting for them, because his aura drifted towards them as if afraid they couldn't see him.
As the two drew closer, Meng Zhen finally saw who was blocking their way.
"It's Commander He. Why is he here?"
"You know him?" Elder Xiong asked.
"Mm. After we split up, I went to find him to ask for some information," Meng Zhen said honestly.
"Then let's go see what he wants."
Elder Xiong led the group towards the other party's location. The other party was a bit to the right, so they weren't on their path.
Commander He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the other party coming over. He glanced down and waited for them to arrive.
"Commander He, why are you here?"
Meng Zhen greeted him as soon as they drew near.
"What a coincidence. I just sensed your aura and stopped you here," Commander He said simply. Commander He gave a simple explanation and looked at Elder Xiong. Then, he said to Meng Zhen, "What about your friend? I have some things to ask him. "
"He's in the south. I was just about to find him. Why are you looking for him?" Meng Zhen pointed in that direction and asked curiously.
"You're fine too. I'm just asking about a few things," Commander He thought it over, then blurted out his question.
"I really don't know."
Meng Zhen smiled bitterly as he listened to the other party asking about the island.
"I'm just following behind him. Moreover, we split up after we came out. It's only now that we're ready to gather. We're on our way there now."
"Aye, I'm just asking. I'm taking things for granted. Third Princess was careless and got tricked by the other party. She's suffering from some strange yin energy and is currently unconscious. I had no choice but to stop you to ask about her," Commander He sighed.
"Then hurry and find the Dragon King," Elder Xiong found it strange. Why didn't he go find the South Sea Dragon King, but Gu Zheng instead?
"Due to some matters, I can't find him right now. I'll take the third princess back first." Commander He's lips moved a few times before he finally said with a gloomy expression.
"Why don't you take the Third Princess and come with me? We're going to the Phoenix Clan. Maybe they'll have a way!" Meng Zhen looked at the disappointed look on the other party's face. Furthermore, she had heard of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. However, as the only remaining dragon race, it was indeed a little shabby.
"Phoenix Clan? Can you find that place? It's not appropriate to disturb them. " Commander He originally thought that he could only go back and ask other people to take a look. He didn't expect that the other party would be able to find the Phoenix Clan.
Although he knew that the Phoenix Clan was in this sea, he couldn't find them at all. Or rather, if the other party didn't want him to find them, he couldn't see them at all.
When it came to dispelling this kind of evil energy, it was clear that no matter who he went back to find, they were not as good as the other party. The only thing he was hesitant about was that even if he found the other party, the other party might not necessarily help him. After all, there were many dirty things between the two of them.
"You've helped us before, so this is nothing. I'm just bringing you there. Even if they don't do anything, there's still Gu Zheng. Aren't you looking for him? Let's go and ask him. "Meng Zhen waved her hand and said straightforwardly.
"That's true. Anyway, it's just a short distance. A round trip will only take a few days. No matter how anxious the Third Princess is, a few days won't make a difference." Old Xiong added.
Meng Zhen didn't know how Gu Zheng was treated over there. However, she knew very well that as long as Gu Zheng asked, the other party would definitely help. As for why the other party was so bent on getting Gu Zheng's help, she really didn't know.
"Alright."
Commander He only pondered for a short while before agreeing. No matter what, this was the best solution. Even if they went back, there would be no one to help the Third Princess. Or rather, ordinary people wouldn't be able to dispel that kind of energy.
Commander He then jumped into the sea below and quickly came out with a girl in his arms.
"Let's go!"
.....
"Father, when is Mother coming over?"
Outside the volcano, Wan 'er and Gu Zheng were standing side by side in the air. Wan' er kept looking into the distance and asked Gu Zheng who was beside her.
She didn't know why but Gu Zheng didn't let her call him Father. Instead, he told her to call him Father. He said that it was like this over there. Although she didn't understand, she still did as he said.
"How many times have I told you? Your mother is in seclusion and won't be able to come over for a long time." Gu Zheng said helplessly.
"Alright, alright. I got it." Wan 'er was still very happy. She felt that Gu Zheng had purposely told her this. Her mother had secretly come over to take a look at her and then left. This way, she wouldn't be happy if she didn't know.
Gu Zheng looked at the other party. Clearly, she didn't listen to him. Who asked him to have a previous record? If he had known, he would have hardened his heart and not cowered. He should have just told her that her mother was dead. That way, everything would be settled. However, when he saw the other party's hopeful eyes, he swallowed his words.
These few days, Gu Zheng and Wan 'er were really together. Under his intentions, their relationship was like that of a father and daughter who had been together for decades. Every day made Wan' er feel so sweet that she melted. She felt that all the hardships she had suffered before were worth it.
Of course, Gu Zheng didn't give up on fusing with his spirit treasure. After a few days of familiarization, he could finally fuse it into his body. He also had a basic understanding of the spirit treasure's effects.
After a simple understanding, everything he had done was worth it, even if it meant that he had a daughter.
This spirit treasure was the amalgamation of countless magic treasures. It wasn't strong, but it wasn't weak either. However, it had a wide range of uses. This spirit treasure's effects were very much to his liking.
Gu Zheng directly named this spirit treasure Myriad Spirit Pearl because this spirit pearl could transform into any kind of magic treasure. As long as the owner had come into contact with it or understood it to a certain extent, the spirit pearl could imitate and transform it once. Naturally, the effect couldn't be as good as when the owner was in his prime. According to Gu Zheng's understanding, the lowest level was five, and the highest level was eight. However, there were some special magic treasures that it couldn't imitate. Moreover, its power level was the same as that of Gu Zheng's, so it wouldn't be uncontrollable.
For example, the Cloud Desolate Sword in Gu Zheng's hand. As it was a weapon that Gu Zheng was very familiar with, it could be imitated to eight levels. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to distinguish it. However, the Jade Dragon's Space couldn't imitate it.
There were also some special innate spirit treasures that couldn't be imitated even if they were of a higher level. For example, the Eastern Emperor Bell and the like would fail halfway. This wasn't because the power of the spirit pearl wasn't enough to imitate them.
There was also the Book of Life and Death. He could imitate it, but other than checking the names of people, it was useless. Even with the imitated Judgment Pen, it couldn't do anything.
This was one of the few shortcomings. Compared to its advantages, it was almost negligible.
In addition to being able to imitate magical treasures, there were also nine different spells stored inside. This was why Wan 'er used all kinds of strange attacks. As long as someone cast a spell in front of the spirit pearl, it didn't matter if it was a unique secret technique or a spell that required some harsh conditions to be cast. As long as it didn't exceed its level, it could record it.
However, it was a pity that it could only record nine spells. Once it was full, it couldn't record any new spells unless it was released.
Even so, Gu Zheng was very satisfied. With the Myriad Treasures Spirit Pearl, he could say that he had many precious treasures. Perhaps to others, it was just a chicken rib. After all, there were so many magical treasures in the world, and no one could know the effects of other magical treasures. It was impossible to create a new magical treasure out of thin air.
In other words, if you wanted to imitate a spirit pearl, you had to have something that really existed. Similarly, you could summon up to nine at the same time. However, if you summoned something powerful, the spirit pearl's power would be exhausted before nine could be summoned. You had to replenish yourself to continue.
The biggest weakness was that the spirit pearl didn't have any offensive power. In other words, it was essentially a support-type innate spirit treasure. Wearing it on the body could increase the absorption of spiritual qi, and it could also support a very strong defense.
Gu Zheng had been searching for a few days, but he couldn't find any way to attack it. Other than throwing it out like a stone, it wasn't weak either.
Of course, that wasn't all. At this time, the Li Ring had been brought back by him. It was now quietly worn on his right wrist. At this time, it was completely blood-red. The Li Ring itself was burning. It was very high-profile and very eye-catching, as if a flame was constantly burning on his right wrist.
At this time, the Li Ring's seal was being lifted, which was why it was so dazzling. The little bird had fallen into a deep sleep inside. When it woke up, the Li Ring would completely display its power. At that time, he could control the Li Ring to be more low-key.
"Look, someone's coming!"
Without waiting for too long, Wan 'er suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted.
Gu Zheng had already seen the other party coming, but when he saw Commander He behind him, and that the other party was carrying an unfamiliar woman, he was a little surprised.
"Are you my mother?"
Meng Zhen's group had just landed, and before they could say anything, they saw a little girl with a delicate face stride in front of them. Meng Zhen didn't even notice how the other party got close to her, but when she heard the other party's words, she looked at Gu Zheng with some confusion.
"Well, it seems like you're not. You and I don't have the same form, so you shouldn't be."
Before Gu Zheng could reply, Wan 'er had already used the opportunity to get close to Meng Zhen to figure out her identity. Although she didn't know much about it, she knew that the two of them were different.
She knew very well that although her father kept telling her that they were both humans, she could feel that her father wasn't human at all. He was a special creature like her, and they were both flesh and blood incarnations. As for what exactly they were, she didn't know herself, but their forms were very similar. They were clearly the same kind. Just like the Flying Serpents, whether they were male or female, old or young, they were all Flying Serpents. Even if they changed their faces, it wouldn't change the fact that they were Flying Serpents.
Gu Zheng patted Wan 'er's shoulder lightly. When he saw her raise her head, he said, "What are you talking about? Go find your Sister Yufei and let her ride a horse with you."
"Really? That's great. I know you have something to do, so I won't disturb you. "
Wan 'er was so excited that she jumped up. After saying that, she ran inside, shouting as she ran.
"Sister Yufei, Sister Yufei, my father agreed. Let me play with Little White."
Her voice reverberated in the empty space, and one could hear that she was extremely happy.
"Who is she?"
Meng Zhen looked at Wan 'er's disappearing figure and was puzzled.
"Didn't Elder Xiong tell you?" Gu Zheng thought that Elder Xiong would tell him. But when he saw Elder Xiong's eyes, he understood what he meant. Elder Xiong probably wouldn't believe him even if he told him. It would be more convenient for him to come back and let Gu Zheng explain it personally.
In detail, Elder Xiong found it troublesome.
"No. But you should take a look at the Third Princess. She was ambushed by a Demonic God." Meng Zhen replied quickly, then pointed at Commander He and the rest.
Along the way, they would naturally ask about it. After a simple exchange, they roughly knew what had happened. But now, they couldn't be bothered to deal with the Demonic God. They had to solve the Third Princess's current situation first.
Compared to before, the Third Princess's aura was weaker. She didn't look like she was in any danger. But from time to time, she would groan in pain. This made Commander He anxious. He couldn't wait for the Third Princess to recover. The Demonic God wouldn't dare to kill the Third Princess. If the Dragon King came, the three Demonic Gods would be reduced to ashes.
"I know. Let's go in first. If I'm not wrong, Feng Ying should be coming up from below."
Gu Zheng was right. When they came down, Feng Ying was already standing there waiting for them.
This place wasn't as shabby as it was in the beginning. In order to express their gratitude to Gu Zheng, this place was more or less the same. Although it was still surrounded by stones and there wasn't any greenery in sight, the space wasn't much different from an ordinary house.
"Father, we'll go out first."
At this moment, Wan 'er was holding Yan Yufei's hand. They walked past from the side. Behind them was a white horse that was equally excited. It greeted Gu Zheng.
"Go ahead. Please." Gu Zheng nodded at Wan 'er and said to Yan Yufei at the same time.
Yan Yufei had been released by him a long time ago. After resting, Yan Yufei was happy to see this mysterious place.
"I quite like Wan 'er. Don't worry."
Yan Yufei didn't say anything more. She pulled Wan 'er away. She could see that Gu Zheng still had things to do.
"Feng Ying, take a look at this person. Can you let Elder Wu take a look?" Gu Zheng didn't waste any time and pushed Commander He forward.
"I already know. You don't have to worry. You don't have to go down. Elder Wu already knows about the poison in her body. But I have a bad news for you." Feng Ying looked at the Third Princess and said.
"What bad news?" Commander He immediately asked anxiously.
"It's not really bad news. It's just that you might not be satisfied. Put her in the room at the side first. When Elder Wu is done with the medicine, I'll go get it." Feng Ying instructed Commander He to put the Third Princess down. Then she continued, "Elder Wu already said that he can only suppress it. He can't completely remove it. But at least he can wake the Third Princess up."
"That's great. At least the Third Princess won't be so sad. I can also find a way to solve the problem in her body. Thank you." Commander He wasn't sad at all. Instead, he was relieved.
Actually, when he knew that the Third Princess was poisoned by the Demon God, he already expected that it would be difficult to solve. In fact, he thought that as long as he could stop the spread of the poison, he would be very satisfied. But if he could wake the Third Princess up and suppress a large portion of the poison, although he couldn't completely remove it, it was enough to surprise him.
"Actually, we live here. There are some things that we need your forgiveness for." Feng Ying said politely with a chuckle. With her reputation as a member of the Phoenix Clan, she would be welcomed wherever she went. Who would dare to look down on them?
"Let's go out first. Commander He, you stay here and take care of the Third Princess."
Feng Ying chased Gu Zheng and the others out. Then, she closed the door.
"Thank you." Gu Zheng nodded at Feng Ying.
"You don't have to say that. We will all go and help. After all, her father specially looked for us once. We should take care of her. But you look like you have something to do."
"That's right. This friend of mine has some problems. Elder Wu, please take a look."
The reason why Gu Zheng wanted to pull Meng Zhen and the others back was because he wanted the phoenix race to take a look.
"Her? But I can't tell. But you will naturally take care of it. How about this? Wait for me here for a while. I will bring her down. " Feng Ying took a closer look at Meng Zhen. But she didn't find anything wrong. From the outside, she looked very normal. But since Gu Zheng said so, there must be some hidden problems in her body.
"Okay. Thank you for the trouble." Gu Zheng said politely.
But the phoenix race was very grateful to him. He wouldn't take credit for it.
"It's no trouble at all. Let's talk later. Follow me." Feng Ying was very satisfied with Gu Zheng's attitude. Not only her, but the other elders were also praising Gu Zheng.
"Right, where is Lan Hai?"
After Meng Zhen and Feng Ying left, Gu Zheng turned his head and asked Elder Xiong.
Just now, he felt that something was wrong. Now that everyone had left, he realized that one person was missing. Lan Hai was gone.
"When I went over, he had already left. Meng Zhen said that he went out to look for some clues and see if he could find some reinforcements." Elder Xiong pointed at a stone bench in the distance, indicating that Gu Zheng should sit down.
"He really doesn't want to be idle. I just hope that everything goes well." Gu Zheng was a little surprised. He didn't think that Elder Xiong would want to help at a time like this.
He didn't know either. It was precisely because Commander He had met Lan Hai on the way and had a simple conversation with him that he learned some information about Gu Zheng. He felt that Gu Zheng was too mysterious and always felt that he had a way. Coincidentally, he met Meng Zhen on the way and came to look for him. Although the results weren't satisfactory, he was satisfied that he was able to suppress the third princess's injuries.
"How is your relationship with your daughter? It seems that everything is going well." Elder Xiong sat down and leaned against the wall behind him. She didn't have any airs. Her attractive body could be seen at a glance. But she acted like a tomboy. She wasn't as delicate as Zhu Niao.
"It's going well. But having a daughter makes things a little more convenient. I'm not used to it." Gu Zheng thought about how he was interacting with Wan 'er. He couldn't help but smile.
"But how is it? It seems that you are getting along well." Elder Xiong glanced at Gu Zheng's expression. She naturally knew what he was thinking.
"Yeah. Compared to before, I feel like I'm no longer alone. Even the burden on my shoulders has become heavier." Gu Zheng sighed.
Even though it had only been a few days, he felt that he had changed a lot.
