"Crazy? I think you're the one who's crazy. "
Facing Pang Xin, who had yet to reach him, Elder Wu You laughed heartily. He and Gu Zheng increased their speed and took down the last five people.
"Too arrogant!"
"Take them down!"
"How dare you make trouble in our sect? Who gave you the courage?"
"When did Emei Sect become so arrogant?"
"We'll deal with them the way they deal with our disciples!"
Pang Xin and the others had already rushed to the front. Facing the anger of the disciples behind him, he waved his hand and shouted, "Wait!"
As the leader of a sect, Pang Xin was more rational than his subordinates. Emei Sect was no longer a pushover. He had already understood this before and after the opening of the Shu Ruins. At least Gu Zheng, the new leader of Emei Sect, was completely different from Wuyou and Wuchou. Emei Sect might usher in a new era because of this.
However, Pang Xin did not think that Emei Sect dared to make trouble in Qingcheng Sect! He also did not think that Gu Zheng and Wuyou had the courage to attack Qingcheng Sect! Therefore, when Pang Xin knew that such a thing had really happened, he was angry and suspicious at the same time.
No matter what the reason was, daring to attack a sect's mountain gate was not a small matter that could be easily forgotten! Because of this, the only possibility that Pang Xin thought was possible was that Qingcheng Sect had lost more than half of its elders and Gu Zheng had become a demon slayer hero in the Shu Ruins. Maybe there was some other reason that he knew. Anyway, Shu Mountain had decided to support Emei Sect, so Gu Zheng and Wuyou were arrogant now.
As for Elder Wuyou had become a cultivator, Pang Xin did not think about it at all. After all, he had only returned from Shu Mountain for more than a month. When Elder Wuyou was in Shu Mountain, he had not even purified his internal strength.
As for the fact that Gu Zheng had mentioned an old senior who could impart skills with just one finger during the Ranking Ceremony, Pang Xin thought it was nonsense. With Wuyou and Wuchou's character, if they really had such a backer, they would definitely publicize it so that others would pay more attention to their Emei. Pang Xin also didn't know that Lao Ai had already become the Tai Shang Elder of Emei Sect. If he knew, he would definitely tell his disciples to exercise restraint. He himself would personally go to Emei Sect to apologize to Lao Ai in order to ask Lao Ai to forgive them for bullying Emei Sect in the past.
"Sect Master Gu, what's going on?"
Pang Xin suppressed his anger and looked coldly at Elder Wu You and Gu Zheng.
"What's wrong? You're asking me what's wrong with the good deeds your disciples have done? Is it because your Qingcheng Sect is used to bullying my Emei Sect? "Gu Zheng sneered.
"What happened?"
Pang Xin questioned the mountain-guarding disciple, and the mountain-guarding disciple hurriedly explained what had happened, but it was just as Elder Qi had said.
"Sect Master, you must uphold justice for the disciples! The Emei Sect is too arrogant. They actually dared to attack our mountain gate and even injured dozens of disciples. We can't let them off so easily. We must let the Shu Mountain Sect know about this! "Elder Qi, who was seriously injured, still had blood flowing out of his mouth as he spoke.
"The mountain-guarding disciple didn't report it in time. Although it was his dereliction of duty, there must be a reason for it, right? Just because of this little conflict, you want to attack our Qingcheng Sect's mountain gate and injure dozens of disciples. Do you really think that Qingcheng Sect can be bullied by others? Or are you saying that you don't put Mount Shu in your eyes at all? Aren't you afraid that Mount Shu will launch sanctions against you after knowing about this matter? "
Pang Xin mentioned Mount Shu with a deep meaning. If Gu Zheng and the others had already obtained the support of Mount Shu, then when he mentioned Mount Shu, the other party would definitely sneer. After all, if Mount Shu decided to support a sect and suppress another sect, the supported sect would definitely be very arrogant and fearless.
"The mountain-guarding disciple neglected his duty and the welcoming deacon was rude. Rome wasn't built in a day. Isn't the reason why they are like this because of your attitude? Your Qingcheng Sect can't be bullied by others, but when you bullied my Emei Sect, have you ever asked yourself if you have gone too far? As for teaching your disciples a lesson, it means that you don't put Mount Shu in your eyes. This is too high a hat! If you're not convinced, we can go to Shushan to argue. "" That's right.
Gu Zheng understood that when Pang Xin mentioned Mount Shu, he must be worried that they had the tacit approval of Mount Shu. However, in this matter, Gu Zheng didn't even ask Mount Shu about it.
Emei Sect and Qingcheng were feuds. If Mount Shu came to Qingcheng to look for the dark ancient wood, this matter would definitely be easily solved.
However, if Mount Shu came, it would be impossible for Elder Wu You to take revenge! Therefore, Gu Zheng didn't tell Mount Shu that they came to Qingcheng Sect to look for the dark ancient wood. If Pang Xin was easy to talk to and politely handed over the dark ancient wood, then everyone would be happy. If the people of Qingcheng Sect were not polite, Gu Zheng would let Elder Wu You take revenge! After taking revenge, if Pang Xin still had the courage to not hand over the dark ancient wood, Gu Zheng would inform Mount Shu and let them put more pressure on Qingcheng Sect.
"Without Mount Shu's tacit approval, how can you be so arrogant?"
Pang Xin was really angry. Since Gu Zheng wanted to be reasonable, then he was not afraid of making a big deal out of this matter. Anyway, everyone was right. Even if they made a big deal out of it, all the fault could be pushed to the mountain-guarding disciple and Deacon Qi.
"Why? When you bullied Emei before, why? "
Elder Wu You laughed, and he laughed very happily. Pang Xin, who had already been blinded by hatred, did not understand the deeper meaning behind his words.
"To think that you're so arrogant. It seems that Zhao Xin's death in the Shu Ruins is related to your Emei Sect. You can do something like attacking the mountain gate. What else can't you do? "Pang Xin gritted his teeth. The anger in his heart was like a prairie fire.
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! You dare to suspect that we did such a heartless thing in Shu Ruins. It seems that I have to teach you how to speak and how to be a person today! "
Gu Zheng laughed. As the Sect Leader, Pang Xin finally said something that he shouldn't say. Then he couldn't escape today.
"Take them down for me, as long as you don't kill them!"
Pang Xin roared and waved his hand at Gu Zheng and Elder Wu You. The people behind him immediately launched an attack.
There were more than forty people behind Pang Xin. Their overall strength couldn't be compared to the group that Gu Zheng and Elder Wu You had defeated earlier. In the face of the storm-like attack, Gu Zheng sneered and didn't move. Elder Wu You, who was in front of him, roared and waved his hand.
Unlike Pang Xin's wave, Elder Wu You's wave used the energy of heaven and earth.
The pure red inner strength mixed with the energy of heaven and earth turned into a gust of wind that blew towards the incoming inner strength attacks.
All of the inner strength attacks turned into nothingness in the wind. Everyone felt as if they had been hit in the chest by a heavy punch. They either took a few steps back or were directly sent flying. The dozens of people who were originally very imposing suddenly screamed in horror.
There was an essential difference between cultivators and cultivators. Although it was possible for cultivators to kill cultivators, not everyone was like Gu Zheng, who had an immortal item that could not be explained by common sense. The energy in his body was immortal energy, and he also had all kinds of immortal techniques and immortal skills. Therefore, although the Qingcheng Sect had a lot of people, Elder Wu You was like a tiger in a flock of sheep.
After just one confrontation, the people of the Qingcheng Sect had lost the courage to fight again. Most of them had never seen a cultivator fight, but this didn't mean that they had been beaten and still couldn't see what kind of existence the other party was.
"You've become a cultivator?" Pang Xin shouted, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
At this time, Pang Xin was bleeding from the corner of his mouth because of Elder Wu You. His face was covered with sweat caused by the shock.
Wu You had unexpectedly become an immortal cultivator. Emei Sect's position among the five major branches would certainly skyrocket! Not to mention that the Qingcheng Sect couldn't afford to offend Emei now, even if they were the right side in today's conflict, Mount Shu would still side with Emei because of Elder Wu You.
"That's right. I accidentally became an immortal cultivator. Pang Xin, the Qingcheng Sect used to bully Emei. Do you admit this mistake? "
Elder Wu You felt very happy. The resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for many years was mostly vented with the wave of his hand just now. If Pang Xin admitted his mistake, everything would be fine. If he dared not to admit his mistake, he would definitely suffer today.
"I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake! I hope Senior Wu You won't vent your anger on the entire Qingcheng Sect because of this. After all, we are all members of Mount Shu! "
Pang Xin couldn't be tough anymore. He not only admitted his mistake, but also knelt down in front of Elder Wu You and kowtowed.
In fact, they were all members of Mount Shu. Pang Xin also knew that Elder Wu You wouldn't go too far. Even if he apologized, there was no need to kneel. But he knelt to let Elder Wu You understand that he really knew his mistake and that he was soft!
"What about you guys?"
Elder Wu You was happy in his heart. He shouted at the people behind Pang Xin.
The people behind Pang Xin were still a little stunned by Pang Xin's kneeling. Elder Wu You's shout woke them up from their shock. Regardless of whether they understood the meaning of Pang Xin's kneeling or not, they were all shocked and couldn't help but imitate Pang Xin and kneel in front of Elder Wu You.
"Senior Wu You, please forgive us. We know our mistakes in the past!"
There was nothing wrong with everyone calling Elder Wu You "Senior". After all, Elder Wu You was now an immortal cultivator and a transcendent existence.
"Deacon Qi, you called yourself an Old Man in front of our Sect Leader. What do you have to say about this matter?" Elder Wu You shouted at Deacon Qi, who didn't even dare to raise his head.
"I deserve to die. I know my mistake. Please forgive me, Sect Leader Gu!"
Deacon Qi's reaction was not slow. Before Elder Wu You could say anything, he had already slapped his own mouth with both hands.
Seeing that Deacon Qi's face was swollen, Elder Wu You snorted coldly and turned to look at Gu Zheng. "Sect Leader, do you want to forgive these people?"
With Elder Wu You's question, the people of the Qingcheng Sect, whose hearts were clenched together, all looked at Gu Zheng with nervous, fawning, and frightened eyes.
"Humph." Gu Zheng smiled coldly at the people of the Qingcheng Sect. "Let's forget about this matter. But if you want to write off the old score, it depends on Sect Leader Pang's next performance."
"Sect Leader Gu, what do you want me to do to calm down? Just tell me!" Pang Xin smiled at Gu Zheng in a very flattering way.
"Well, in that case, the rest of you can leave!" Gu Zheng said lightly.
"Didn't you hear what Sect Leader Gu said? Everyone, leave! "
Pang Xin shouted at the disciples who were still waiting for his order. After they all left, he asked, "Sect Leader Gu, how can I calm down?"
"I heard that your Qingcheng Sect takes the dividends of the Emei Sect's property at the foot of the mountain every year, right? Do you deserve these dividends? "
In the face of Gu Zheng's question, Pang Xin immediately answered, "I don't deserve it. I will return all the dividends I have received from the Emei Sect over the years!"
"Your attitude is not bad. Then, after you return all the dividends, we'll forget about the old score." Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said, "I didn't come to Qingcheng to settle the old score with you. The old score was caused by your attitude. I came here to make a deal with you. I want to buy ten kilograms of Dark Ancient Wood from your Qingcheng Sect. "
"Ten kilograms of Dark Ancient Wood?" Pang Xin's eyes widened.
"What's wrong? Is it a lot? "Gu Zheng frowned.
"If it were thirty years ago, ten kilograms of Dark Ancient Wood would not be a lot. After all, the Dark Ancient Wood we obtained at that time weighed more than a thousand kilograms. However, not long after we obtained the Dark Ancient Wood, Mount Shu came and took away more than half of it. It was said that they wanted to use it for refining weapons. The remaining half was exchanged with other sects over the years for cultivation resources. Now, there are only two kilograms of Dark Ancient Wood left in the Qingcheng Sect. "Pang Xin said with a bitter face.
"Two kilograms, two kilograms is not enough!"
Gu Zheng murmured. Mount Shu once had the Dark Ancient Wood, but it only gave him clues to find the whereabouts of the Dark Ancient Wood. Could it be that they had used up all the Dark Ancient Wood?
Pang Xin clenched his teeth, "Regarding the matter of the Darkened Ancient Wood, this Pang did not lie. Even though it's only one kilogram, if Sect Leader Gu needs it, there's no need to talk about trading or selling this one kilogram of Darkened Ancient Wood. I'll directly give it to you as an apology!"
Pang Xin had made up his mind. He was afraid that Gu Zheng would be like how Mount Shu was against Mount Shu in the past, looking for trouble openly and secretly. Two kilograms of Dark Ancient Wood was not cheap. Not to mention its value in the cultivation world, just in the outside world, it was not something that could be bought with money. After all, this kind of thing had not been discovered in today's world.
"Sect Leader Pang, although I said that I would let bygones be bygones, if I don't accept your kindness, will you be able to feel at ease?" Gu Zheng smiled.
"Yes!" Pang Xin smiled apologetically.
"In that case, I will accept your kindness. Although two kilograms is a little little, it is better than nothing." Gu Zheng said lightly.
"Okay, I will get it for Sect Leader Gu later."
Although Pang Xin felt the pinch, he still had to smile like a flower.
"Sect Leader Gu, the Dark Ancient Wood in Mount Shu may have been used up. The Dark Ancient Wood that the Qingcheng Sect traded out over the years is also very unlikely to be left. However, there is a place where we can get Dark Ancient Wood." Pang Xin said flatteringly.
"Oh? Where? "
"In the Zhao Mansion under Mount Emei! At that time, our Qingcheng Monastery only got a small part of the entire Dark Ancient Wood. The rest was taken away by the Zhao Mansion. "
"I heard from the Zhao Mansion that you have Dark Ancient Wood. As for the Dark Ancient Wood on their side, it has been used as the coffins of their ancestors."
"Sect Leader Gu, regarding this matter, it's not impossible!"
Pang Xin frowned. Gu Zheng could not help but be curious. "What do you mean?"
"Two years ago, someone asked me to buy Dark Ancient Wood. I did not have much Dark Ancient Wood here, so I went to the Zhao Mansion. Under my questioning, the head of the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Wen, told me that his Dark Ancient Wood was used as his grandfather's coffin. "
"At that time, I was anxious to get the Dark Ancient Wood. I did not believe Zhao Wen's words, so I secretly visited the Zhao Mansion. In a secret room, I saw a coffin made of Dark Ancient Wood. In that coffin, I heard an inhuman snoring sound!"
At this point, Pang Xin stopped and looked at Gu Zheng with deep meaning.
"You mean to say that the Zhao Mansion people used Dark Ancient Wood to make coffins, but they were actually raising corpses?" Gu Zheng frowned. Other than this, he could not think of any other reason.
"Yes, raising corpses is a demonic technique, so it is not excessive for Sect Leader Gu to take such a coffin!" Pang Xin said.
"In that case, did Sect Leader Pang take any coffins back then?"
"No, there is a formation outside the secret room where the coffin is located. There is an immortal formation on the coffin. I can walk through the formation and enter the secret room, but I can't break the immortal formation. Otherwise, I would not only take the coffin, but also the corpse monster inside! Sect Leader Gu is different. Now that Elder Wuyou is an immortal cultivator, he can break the immortal formation and get rid of the corpse monster. "
"Since you also have the idea of getting rid of the corpse monster, have you told Mount Shu about the Zhao Mansion refining corpses?"
Gu Zheng's question made Pang Xin embarrassed. "No, I have been studying the immortal formation for the past two years, hoping to break the immortal formation with my own strength and challenge myself. Anyway, raising corpses is not something that can be done in a short time, so I am not in a hurry to tell Mount Shu. "
Gu Zheng just smiled at Pang Xin's explanation. He naturally understood that Pang Xin did not tell Mount Shu because he did not want Mount Shu to come forward and "confiscate" all the Dark Ancient Wood in the name of eliminating evil and defending the Dao. Who doesn't have a little selfishness?
"Sect Leader Pang, the Zhao Mansion is not an ordinary place. Do you know the power behind it?" Gu Zheng asked again.
Pang Xin thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but according to my guess, it should belong to the overseas power."
He didn't stay at the Qingcheng Sect for too long. After ending his conversation with Pang Xin, Gu Zheng took two catties of Dark Ancient Wood and flew in the direction of the Zhao Mansion with Elder Wuyou. He wanted to settle the matter of the Dark Ancient Wood today.
Gu Zheng and Elder Wuyou waited until it was dark to sneak into the Zhao Mansion. According to the clues given by Pang Xin, they found the location of the secret room without much effort.
Pang Xin had also told Gu Zheng how to get to the array formation outside the secret chamber. Gu Zheng led Elder Wu You through several twists and turns in the illusory array before arriving outside the secret chamber.
Other than a coffin made of Dark Ancient Wood, there was nothing special in the secret room. A few everlasting lamps were burning on the walls, and many white flowers were hanging in the room. There were tributes and portraits of the deceased on the table. It was decorated like a mourning hall.
The coffin made of Dark Ancient Wood was very big and heavy. To be exact, it was a coffin. The one carved with mysterious patterns and characters was an outer-coffin, and the one inside was a coffin.
Gu Zheng and Elder Wuyou approached the coffin. Immediately, a low snoring sound came from the coffin.
The snoring sound wasn't loud. A normal person wouldn't be able to hear it. It sounded like someone was strangling the neck and squeezing it out of the throat.
Gu Zheng pushed the coffin. A faint light suddenly appeared, and the air seemed to wrinkle a little.
"Weapon spirit, how do I break this immortal formation?" Gu Zheng asked the expert.
"It's just a simple immortal formation. It's not as difficult as the one you encountered in the Taiji Sect's lair. Send your immortal power in and I'll tell you how to break it, "the weapon spirit said disdainfully.
Gu Zheng didn't spend too much time breaking the immortal formation.
Without the protection of the immortal formation, the sealed coffin couldn't stop Gu Zheng from destroying it.
Inside the opened outer-coffin was a normal-sized coffin. There was also an immortal formation on the coffin, but the roar of the corpse monster in the coffin was very clear. It also carried a kind of spiritual attack that made people feel drowsy.
"Insignificant skill."
Gu Zheng sneered. His Mind Calming Art easily dispelled the spiritual attack. As for Elder Wuyou, he was now an immortal cultivator. This level of spiritual attack was nothing to him.
According to the method provided by the weapon spirit, Gu Zheng broke the immortal formation on the coffin.
Bam!
Gu Zheng had just broken the immortal formation when the heavy coffin lid was pushed away by two green-furred arms.
"Lie down!"
Elder Wuyou, who was already prepared, made his move. His red inner strength turned into a curtain of light that pressed down on the evil creature in the coffin.
The evil creature in the coffin no longer looked like it had when it was alive. Its body was covered in long green hair, its mouth had sharp fangs, and the nails on its hands flashed with a metallic luster.
"Lift it up."
Gu Zheng said faintly. Elder Wuyou immediately used the Dragon-Catcher Hand and grabbed the green-furred corpse monster's neck, lifting it into the air.
The green-furred corpse monster could spit poison, but with its throat tightly gripped, it couldn't even make a sound, let alone spitting poison. Green liquid constantly flowed from the corner of its mouth. However, the green-furred corpse monster's eyes still shone with an extremely bloodthirsty and savage light.
"Die!"
Gu Zheng said and pushed his palm forward. A three-meter-long Fire Dragon immediately appeared in the air and circled the green-furred corpse monster.
In just a short moment, the green-furred corpse monster that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws was burned to ashes by Gu Zheng's Fire Dragon Technique.
Whoosh!
Elder Wuyou waved his hand, and the ashes in the air and on the ground all gathered together and were put into a bag.
With a thought from Gu Zhengyi, the enormous dark ancient wooden coffin was stored into the Desolate Space.
Without touching the other people in the Zhao Mansion, Gu Zheng and Elder Wuyou disappeared into the night.
Although the process of obtaining the Dark Ancient Wood was a bit tortuous, Gu Zheng finally achieved his goal and obtained the Dark Ancient Wood that weighed a thousand jin.
In the following period of time, Gu Zheng cultivated every day and contributed some blood and immortal power to the Chaos Pagoda.
Unknowingly, the Chaos Pagoda's primary restoration was completed. Although the pagoda's body had not returned to its original shape, the color was already one, giving off an ancient feeling.
The Chaos Pagoda's primary restoration took more time than expected. It took a total of two months.
"Sect Leader, I don't know when you will come back after leaving."
In front of the Emei Sect's mountain gate, Elder Wuchou looked at Gu Zheng who was preparing to leave and seemed very reluctant.
"Don't worry, it's not like I won't come back. If there's anything in the sect, just call me!"
Gu Zheng waved at the people who were sending him off and walked down the mountain alone.
"Really, I can't stand this kind of farewell scene the most. It's as if I'll never see you again."
"Those who can come to send me off have all come, but only that white cat is missing. Ever since it ate the Beast Spirit Food to cultivate, it has been in a deep sleep. It didn't come out to enjoy the 'farewell meal' that was prepared for the people in the sect."
"Fortunately, the Artifact Spirit said that the white cat's deep sleep is a good sign. I hope that the next time I return to the sect, it will have advanced."
Gu Zheng chose to leave at night. After leaving the mountain guarding array, he immediately took out the Thunder Tooth Sword and flew into the air.
"My little nest is finally going back!" Gu Zheng said in his heart.
