On the stone bench outside, Gu Zheng and Elder Xiong chatted a lot. They talked about the past like friends. Elder Xiong even talked about the Vermilion Bird so that Gu Zheng could understand more about them.
However, Gu Zheng also talked about himself. Other than some things that he should not have said, he talked about everything else.
It had been a long time since Gu Zheng sat down and chatted with friends like this. Or rather, the friends he chatted with before could not talk so freely about the big events of the Untainted World.
For people at their level, even if they did not participate in many things, they could still see them clearly.
Besides, everyone's eyes were focused on one place. Even the commoners knew what was about to happen.
"Right now, the Goblin and Wu people are gathering at the foot of Buzhou Mountain to fight to the death. Who do you favor?" Elder Xiong suddenly changed the topic.
In fact, it was not just her. The entire Untainted World was paying attention to this matter. This was because this was similar to the previous battle between the Dragon and Phoenix.
The two sides had fought until now, and there were countless deaths and injuries. Many had been implicated, and both sides were heavily injured. They were about to fight to the death. If this continued, both sides would be heavily injured.
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Zheng was too far away, he wouldn't have been able to sense the atmosphere of the battle. However, from the fact that he couldn't even see any slightly stronger demons, he understood where the battle was.
Outside the storm, it was very lively. The battle had not started yet, but all kinds of small conflicts were already going on. It was unprecedentedly lively.
However, some people were worried that both sides would lose like before. However, this was a minority. Most people thought that it was impossible.
This was because during the great battle between the dragons and phoenixes, the leaders had perished together, causing the people below to be in a state of disunity. In addition, some people had evil intentions, so they naturally failed. However, the Demon Clan and the Wizard Clan were not like that.
This was because they did not only have one leader. Relatively speaking, most people supported the Goblin. After all, they had more people and were much stronger than the Wu people.
"Who do you think will win?"
Gu Zheng naturally knew about this as well. Or rather, almost everyone knew about this. He directly asked Elder Xiong a question.
"I think the Goblin has a greater chance of winning. After all, the other party has always been in charge of the Heavens. Furthermore, they are spread all over the Chaotic World. Most importantly, they have someone backing them up, even if the other party doesn't usually ask about things." Elder Xiong pondered for a moment before speaking.
What she said was the same as what most people thought. After all, Goblin had the advantage at the top level. Even if it was a low-level Goblin, it was still a Goblin that had the advantage.
"Actually, some things are already destined. Even if we know about it, we can't change it. Just like the ending of the war between the dragons and the phoenixes." Gu Zheng didn't say it directly.
"You mean? The Wu people don't seem to be that powerful, especially when one of the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery is missing. "Elder Xiong sat up straight and said in disbelief.
"It's just a guess. Besides, whoever wins or loses has nothing to do with us." Gu Zheng shrugged and smiled.
"That's true. However, after the war between the dragons and phoenixes, the world will be in chaos. I only hope that such a big thing won't happen this time." Elder Xiong was only speaking out her own guess. After all, there were many outside who said that the Wu people had won.
"I hope so!"
Gu Zheng sighed. He naturally knew that the catastrophe this time would be more tragic than the one between the dragons and phoenixes. However, even though he knew, he couldn't do anything about it. Even though he had become a Sage-to-be, he couldn't do anything. This was something that was bound to happen, just like the war between the dragons and phoenixes.
From their point of view, if they didn't fight for it, their fate would definitely be taken away by the other party. At that time, they would still be unable to avoid decline and death.
From the point of view of the Heavenly Way, the other party's existence had already affected the operation of the world. If their numbers were not reduced to a certain extent, they might drag the whole world down with them. In order to survive, they had to sacrifice themselves, even if they were unwilling.
The situation between the Wu people and the Goblin now was no different from before. However, everyone was confused. Although the Sages knew, they would never stop it. Instead, they would add fuel to the fire.
As for Nuwa, she only wanted to ensure the survival of the Goblin. She didn't care whether it was strong or not.
However, he didn't dare to say these things out loud. He couldn't even give a hint. He wasn't a Sage. Even if he was, he wouldn't be able to stop it.
The topic was a little heavy. Just as Gu Zheng wanted to avoid this topic and talk about something else, Feng Ying appeared from below and walked straight towards him.
"How's my friend?" Gu Zheng stood up and walked towards Feng Ying.
"She's fine. Don't worry. Elder Wu has a way to completely remove the hidden danger in her body. It won't take long. She should be about the same as your other friend. Speaking of which, she should have been treated before. Otherwise, it would be troublesome." Feng Ying said with a smile.
"That's great." Gu Zheng clenched his fist and shouted in a low voice.
The hidden danger in Meng Zhen's body was finally removed. At least it saved him a lot of time. It seemed that he had helped the Phoenix Race too much previously. Otherwise, it would be strange if they had taken care of him.
"I'm only here to inform you this time. I also need to help below. If there's anything else, wait for me to come up." Feng Ying told him the purpose of her visit.
"It just so happens that I also need to go out for something."
After learning about Godfiend's little tricks from Elder Xiong and how he even dared to provoke people from the South Sea, it was obvious that he did not trust Gu Zheng and was preparing other little tricks.
No matter what, whatever Godfiend wanted to do was something that he was against. No matter what Godfiend wanted to do, he had to act quickly. The longer he delayed, the greater the chances of an accident happening.
Taking advantage of this free time, he was ready to carry out his plan.
After Feng Ying left, Elder Xiong looked at Gu Zheng seriously. "You really don't need me to come along? Although there's order there, it's not absolutely safe. "
"No need. I can handle it alone. Have you forgotten what I did before? It won't be too dangerous for you to find me down there." Gu Zheng was very confident about this.
"Alright then. When are you leaving?" Elder Xiong recalled what Gu Zheng had told him and was relieved.
"Wait a little longer. When Wan 'er comes back, I have to let them know. Otherwise, they will come up with something." Gu Zheng smiled bitterly.
He could not just leave whenever he wanted to. He had to consider other people's thoughts and even find a good reason to avoid angering them.
"Haha, you continue to wait. I'm going to rest for a while." Elder Xiong chuckled and strode away.
Ignoring Elder Xiong's ridicule, Gu Zheng came to the room where he was temporarily staying. At this time, the Cloud Desolate Sword was erected on the side wall. He just had to lightly flick it and Yan Yufei would naturally know that he had something to do.
Immediately after, Gu Zheng walked out of the room and went outside to continue waiting.
Half a day passed in a flash. Wan 'er and Yan Yufei's figures appeared in the distance.
Wan 'er was lying on the horse's back, sitting steadily. She was still shouting excitedly. When she saw Gu Zheng, her small hand slapped to the side and accelerated a few times to arrive in front of Gu Zheng. She flew up quickly and landed in front of Gu Zheng, leaving Yan Yufei behind.
"Dad, you were looking for me?" Her red face shone with a happy smile. It was like a flower blooming in front of Gu Zheng.
"Are you happy?" Gu Zheng greeted Yan Yufei who had followed him over and asked with a smile.
"I'm happy. Little White is so gentle. He's even better than Sea Demon and Soaring Snake. Sister Yufei said you would call me if you needed anything," Wan 'er said excitedly. As she spoke, her hands and feet kept dancing. It was as if she was still on Little White's back.
"Of course, I wanted to tell you that I have something to do outside. I …"
"No!"
Gu Zheng said patiently. But halfway through, Wan 'er suddenly screamed. She hugged Gu Zheng's leg and refused to let go.
"I won't be gone for too long. At most, a few days." Feeling Wan 'er's body tremble, Gu Zheng touched the back of her head gently.
"I don't want to leave you. Last time, you were gone for so long. Take me with you. I can fight." Wan 'er raised her head. Her big eyes were full of tears. She was choking with sobs.
She was afraid that when Gu Zheng left, they would be separated for a long time. She had finally found Gu Zheng, and she didn't want to leave his side.
"Wan 'er, it's not that I don't want to take you with me. This time, Sister Yufei and Sister Xiong will be waiting for me here. I will come back. I swear I will never leave you again. But there are some things I must do." Gu Zheng squatted down and used his thumb to wipe away Wan' er's tears.
"I don't want to! Take me with you. I am very strong. I won't hold you back. "Wan 'er's eyes were even redder. Her head shook, and her tears scattered in all directions.
"Wan 'er, the place your father went cannot be reached by normal people. Even I can't go there. Even your Sister Feng Ying can't go there. Only your father can go there."
"Do you think he doesn't want to take you with him? But that place will cause more harm to you. Your father is doing this for your own good. Let's just wait here. Just like your father said, it won't take more than a few days. I promise you, your father will be back soon. "
Seeing Gu Zheng's pleading eyes, Yan Yufei also squatted down and gently comforted Wan 'er. Every word she said hit the key points in Wan' er's heart. It made her heart waver.
"You are my precious daughter. Since I am here, how can I abandon you? Wait for me here. I will be back soon." Gu Zheng gently wiped away the tears on Wan 'er's face. "If you keep crying, you won't look good."
After saying that, he held Wan 'er's head with both hands and kissed her on the forehead.
"Then you must come back soon. I will wait for you here." Wan 'er stopped crying and blinked a few times. Gu Zheng could see that her eyes were slightly red. The light in her eyes had not completely disappeared. It could flow down like a waterfall at any time.
"Yes, I promise you." Gu Zheng nodded and smiled, giving her an affirmative answer.
Wan 'er threw herself into Gu Zheng's arms, buried her head in his chest, and said in a muffled voice, "Then I will go back first. I will wait for you here. I won't go anywhere until you come back."
"I promise you, I won't make you wait too long." Gu Zheng also hugged her and promised her again.
"Okay, Wan 'er, don't waste your father's time. Let's go back first." Yan Yufei saw that it was about time, so she pulled Wan' er up.
"Father, I will wait for you!" Wan 'er broke free from Yan Yufei's hand and threw herself into Gu Zheng's arms again. She used her wet little mouth to kiss Gu Zheng's cheek. Then she quickly ran away and ran into the volcano below.
Yan Yufei and Gu Zheng looked at each other and smiled. They both stood up in mid-air. After all, this posture was too indecent.
"I will leave Wan 'er in your care."
Gu Zheng was not worried about Yan Yufei. After all, Yan Yufei was meticulous and patient. Plus, Yan Yufei was very approachable. Wan 'er liked him very much after interacting with him a few times. If she was left to Elder Xiong, with his personality, he would probably be very depressed. It was okay to take care of her occasionally, but for a long time, Elder Xiong would probably go crazy.
After all, she was so focused on cultivation that even Gu Zheng sometimes forgot that she was a woman. She was far inferior to Pan Xuan. At least she would act like a daughter.
Well, at this time, people with high cultivation would not care about love. They were all like men.
"Don't worry, I promise to return you a healthy and lively daughter." Yan Yufei chuckled. "I will not waste your time."
Seeing Yan Yufei's figure disappear beside him, Gu Zheng's figure also rapidly flew into the distance.
For three consecutive days, Gu Zheng flew above the vast ocean. He only stopped when he arrived at a small, bare island.
Standing on a higher rock, his originally clear mind was now a little confused. He thought about his past and the current situation. He did not know what to do in the future.
Ever since he started to choose to train in the Untainted Land, he had put everything behind him. These years were not long, but they were not short either. However, the effect was very obvious. His strength had improved by leaps and bounds, which was unbelievable to anyone.
In the past, humans were so naive that they wanted to help the Goblin. They even set up the Wizard Slaying Alliance. However, it was only useful in the early stages. The war had reached its end. Now, they had completely shed all pretense of cordiality. He knew that except for some larger gathering places, many Goblin were hunting and killing humans. This was also the reason why humans hated them so much in the future.
Most of the masters of the human race were still hiding. They were not willing to get involved in this mess. In fact, their appearance was useless. They could not change anything. It was better to preserve their strength and prepare for the future.
However, he felt a little uneasy. It was as if his appearance had broken the rules of the world. This was also why he only guarded his own territory.
At this moment, he was also a little confused. Why did he have to go through all this? Was it purely to become a Sage?
The sun set and the sun rose. Heaven and earth only changed once. Gu Zheng's eyes became clear again.
He knew that he could not figure out this problem now. It was because he had come to this world and walked a different path from his master. If he continued to think about it, it would only bring him harm. It was better to let go of the past first. Now, he was just taking one step at a time.
Facing the sharp sun that had just emerged from the sea, Gu Zheng stretched his muscles and took out the Myriad Treasure Pearl. A pale golden light rose from his body, completely suppressing the sun's rays. At the same time, a book appeared in the air. A few lines of records could be vaguely seen on it.
"Gu Wan 'er. Gender: Female. Daughter of Gu Zheng. Age: 9,700 …"
When the sun rose from the strait, he wanted to show this guy how powerful he was. However, the pale golden light had already disappeared, leaving him with empty air.
Gu Zheng stepped into the Underworld. Looking at the familiar yet strange place around him, he sighed in his heart.
He remembered that after he brought Mado and the others back, he had completely left that place. In fact, he knew that he had to leave. Perhaps he would have the chance to see them again. However, now that the place had changed so much, he did not know if he could still find Yang Du, or if he was no longer there.
He had not cared about them for a long time because he had helped them enough. He could not take care of them forever.
After pausing for a moment, Gu Zheng's figure began to move.
Just as Elder Xiong had said before, even if there were changes, it was impossible to form order in the blink of an eye. It would take time.
He needed to investigate the situation here before he could better carry out his plan. Even if he had some help here, it was impossible for him to find them immediately.
His fake Book of Life and Death could not find people who were already dead. He could not even determine if they still existed in this world.
Gu Zheng felt that the two of them were very likely to be alive in the current situation where the Underworld had not been perfected.
Sen Lu!
You Zhu!
.....
"Hurry up, we can go now!"
Inside a room, Hei Xiang urged the sleepy Xiangxiang Beast.
"You said that you would be able to pull me out soon. Why did it take so long? If I hurt myself on purpose, I'm afraid I would be chased out." Hearing that they were leaving now, Xiangxiang quickly rubbed her cheeks to wake herself up. At the same time, she complained to Hei Xiang.
"I want to, but your mother was delayed by something. That's why it took so long. Hurry up, your mother is waiting for you over there." When Hei Xiang saw that Xiangxiang was ready, she immediately pulled her toward the wall.
Two ripples rose on the wall. Then, the two of them disappeared from the room. The guards who had been guarding outside had no idea what was happening inside. The people they were guarding had disappeared.
Following the safe passage that Hei Xiang had opened up, they quickly squeezed into a new place through the wall.
This place was not very big and there was no light source. There were only green and blue eyes that constantly flickered in the air.
"Don't make a sound. The situation is a little special now. Your mother is in front. Just follow her."
Hei Xiang grabbed Xiangxiang and transmitted her voice to her.
In truth, Xiangxiang could already sense her mother's aura. However, there were dozens of equally powerful auras around her. Every one of them made her very uncomfortable. However, she knew her limits. It was clearly not the time to get to the bottom of things, so she did not say anything.
Soon, with Xiangxiang's mother leading the way, the group followed closely behind her and left this place.
