Gu Zheng went to a farm in the suburbs and set up an immortal array in a place where there was no one around.
The immortal array was not very useful, but it could at least resist a little. Other than that, he had set up many small traps to confuse people along the way, hoping that they could buy him some time.
To be able to suddenly meet a powerful Devil Cultivator while participating in a food festival was truly out of Gu Zheng's expectations.
Although Gu Zheng did not know if this Devil Cultivator would come looking for him, it was always better to be prepared. As long as he could hold on for eight hours, when the Devil Cultivator came, it would not be the Devil Cultivator looking for him, but them looking for the Devil Cultivator to ask about the situation.
One hour, two hours.
Gu Zheng sat quietly in a small house in the field. He had already made all the necessary arrangements, and all that was left was to wait, waiting for the Devil Cultivator to come, or not come.
Everything was fine if he did not come, but with Gu Zheng's understanding of the Devil Cultivator, since he had said so before, it was very likely that he would come, so he could not take any chances.
"So you were hiding here!"
Just as the fifth hour passed, Gu Zheng suddenly stood up. He did not know when a figure had appeared outside the house. The array he had set up was completely useless.
"You're here!"
Gu Zheng looked at the figure outside and said softly. His expression did not change at all.
"You knew I was coming?"
The person outside seemed a little surprised. His voice was slightly hoarse, and he could not see what he looked like from inside. However, he could tell that he was at least 1.8 meters tall and was a very sturdy person.
"You said so before, so it's normal for you to come looking for me!"
As Gu Zheng spoke, he had been on guard. Several Immortal Equipment were ready. Although the other party was very strong, he would not give up without a fight.
If he really could not win, he could still hide in the Great Desolate Space, at least for a while.
Hiding in the Great Desolate Space was his last resort.
"I don't think I've said anything to you!"
The person outside spoke slowly. As he spoke, he had already walked in. He was wearing a cloak and a hat on his head. His head was lowered, so no one could see his appearance.
"What's your relationship with Emei?"
The person who came in asked softly. Gu Zheng's heart slightly trembled. In such a short time, he actually knew that he had a relationship with Emei. But from his tone, it seemed that he didn't know very clearly.
"This has nothing to do with you!"
"That's true, it has nothing to do with me!"
The person who came in laughed self-deprecatingly. After laughing, he found a place to sit down, as if he had no intention of making a move.
Seeing him like this, Gu Zheng was slightly relieved. It was best if he didn't make a move. If he didn't make a move, he could stall for time. When * * * came, he would be safe.
Just as the person sitting down was about to speak, he suddenly raised his head. After a while, Gu Zheng also raised his head.
Someone flew over from the outside and stopped above them. Not long after, he landed on the ground and began to break Gu Zheng's array formation. The people outside discovered the array formation.
When the people outside broke the array formation, Gu Zheng and the person who came in stared at each other. No one spoke.
Gu Zheng didn't expect that there would be someone else. Since this person could fly over, his strength was not weak. At least, he was at the Immortal Cultivator Realm. However, he didn't know what relationship he had with the person in front of him.
The two of them shouldn't be accomplices. If they were accomplices, they wouldn't separate, and one wouldn't break the array formation while the other didn't.
But if they weren't accomplices, why would two cultivators come to find him? Did he offend so many people during this period of time?
The array formation set up by Gu Zheng was quickly broken in the hands of a real cultivator. A person dressed in black came in from the outside. He didn't wear a hat, revealing his appearance.
It was an oriental face, but it looked very fierce.
"Xue Lao Er, how come it's you?"
The person who came in earlier cried out in surprise. Gu Zheng felt that things were not good. The people who came in earlier actually knew each other. This was not a good result for him. If things went wrong, he might really have to rely on the Great Desolate Space to avoid this calamity.
However, after he entered the Chaos Space, he couldn't locate him. It would be dangerous for him to come out.
"Du Wei, why aren't you staying in India? Why are you here?"
The black-clothed man who came in was silent for a while before saying something. The two of them did know each other, and they had known each other for many years.
"India?"
Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He finally understood who the person who came in earlier was. Before the Food Festival, he had met a few Indians who had immortal energy on them. He had even checked them out and left a message.
No wonder he asked about his relationship with Emei. Gu Zheng still wanted to lure the other party to Emei, but he didn't expect him to actually find this place. It seemed like he had some hidden method to find him.
As for the person who came later, it was obvious that he was the Devil Cultivator he met before.
"I'm here. It has nothing to do with you, right?"
The person called Du Wei said softly. The black clothed Devil Cultivator looked at him, then looked at Gu Zheng, and finally said: "Is this brat one of your people?"
"No!"
Du Wei answered very straightforwardly this time. Gu Zheng was indeed not one of his people. To be exact, he was actually here to cause trouble for Gu Zheng.
"It's best if you don't. Leave him to me!" The black clothed Devil Cultivator said again.
"What, do you have a grudge with him as well?"
Du Wei asked with interest. The black clothed Devil Cultivator nodded and said, "He ruined my plans and made me have to rearrange them!"
"Can you tell me what I did to ruin your plans?" Du Wei asked again.
"This has nothing to do with you!"
This time, the black clothed Devil Cultivator did not answer. As he spoke, he suddenly attacked and threw out a chain towards Gu Zheng. From the looks of it, he was planning to directly lock Gu Zheng away.
"Bam!"
A ray of light exploded from Gu Zheng's body, and a circular light shattered. Gu Zheng also retreated a few steps.
"Emei Ring!"
Du Wei suddenly cried out in alarm. The black clothed Devil Cultivator was also surprised, but he did not stop. After the chain returned, it struck towards Gu Zheng again.
"Stop!"
Du Wei cried out in alarm and stopped the chain. He stood in front of Gu Zheng, facing the black clothed Devil Cultivator.
"Du Wei, what do you mean?" The black clothed Devil Cultivator retracted the chain and asked angrily.
"Xue Lao Er, I don't care what grudges you have with him. This time, give me face and let him go. I will compensate you in the future!"
Du Wei cupped his fists and said softly. Gu Zheng frowned, but didn't say anything. He didn't know why this cultivator called Du Wei would help him, but it was always a good thing that someone helped him. He could delay for a bit more time.
Now, the most important thing for him was time. * * * was already on the way, and he had already arrived. Even if the two of them worked together, they would not be a match for * * *.
* * * was a veteran cultivator who had existed since the Flourishing Magic Era. This kind of seniority represented a powerful strength.
"I don't want compensation, I want him. Du Wei, get out of the way!"
The black clothed Devil Cultivator said. If Gu Zheng was just an ordinary chef, then it would not matter if he gave this favor to Du Wei. The two of them had known each other for thousands of years, and could be considered old friends.
However, Gu Zheng's culinary skills were not ordinary. He could even win against him, which made him feel very strange. No one knew that the black clothed Devil Cultivator was actually an Immortal Chef. He believed that no one could compete with him, but in the end, he lost to a nobody today.
This made him angry and curious at the same time. At the same time, he also wanted to capture Gu Zheng.
The reason why he did not make a move at the venue was that it was inconvenient there. He had his own plans, and that was not his main body. The energy there was limited. Even if he captured Gu Zheng, it would not be easy to bring Gu Zheng back. Therefore, he chose to return to his main body and come here. However, he did not expect to meet Du Wei here.
"No, I will never hand him over to you!"
Du Wei lowered his head, but his attitude was very firm. The black clothed Devil Cultivator frowned and said again, "You want to be my enemy for him? Think carefully. Although you are also in the Divine Transformation Realm, your injuries have not recovered. You are not my opponent!"
"No matter what, you can't take him away today!"
Du Wei still shook his head, not giving in at all. The black clothed Devil Cultivator laughed angrily and suddenly attacked. This time, it was not a chain, but a sword, a red sword.
The sword had reached the immortal level and was very sharp. After all, Du Wei was not Gu Zheng. Even if Du Wei had old injuries, it would not be so easy to defeat Du Wei. Therefore, the black clothed Devil Cultivator went all out from the beginning.
"I'll hold him back. Hurry up and leave. It's best if you return to the country as soon as possible. Once you return to the country, you'll be fine!"
When Du Wei was defending himself, he sent a sound transmission to Gu Zheng. His tone was extremely anxious. Gu Zheng frowned and retreated a few steps, but he did not leave.
Almost six hours had passed, and the * * * was about to arrive. As long as Du Wei could hold on for two hours, once the * * * arrived, he would be safe.
As for his return, even if he went to the airport now and took a private plane, it would still take more than ten hours. He might as well stay here.
"I'm fine. Senior, why are you helping me?"
Gu Zheng had distanced himself, but he did not leave. Instead, he asked a question, causing Du Wei to be very anxious.
"Don't worry about that. Although my strength is on par with his, the one who will lose in the long run will definitely be me. Hurry up and leave!"
"Senior, can you hold on for two hours?"
Gu Zheng asked again. If Du Wei really couldn't hold on, he still had the Great Desolate space, so he wasn't in such a hurry.
"Two hours, of course there's no problem. Could it be that you have some backup plan for two hours?"
"That's right. Senior, as long as you can hold on for two hours, I'm afraid the one who wants to leave will be him!"
Gu Zheng also sent a sound transmission, not letting the black clothed Devil Cultivator know about their conversation. Du Wei did not speak to Gu Zheng and fought with the black clothed Devil Cultivator with all his might. However, it was obvious that he agreed with Gu Zheng's words.
He could still hold on for two hours.
The small house quickly fell apart. The black clothed Devil Cultivator set up a barrier in the air so that others could not see their battle and would not attract other people.
Du Wei had hidden injuries on his body and was unable to unleash his full strength. After all, he was an expert of the Semi-god Realm, and his opponent was at the same level as him.
The battle between the two was very intense, but both of them held back. It was obvious that the black clothed Devil Cultivator only wanted to force Du Wei to retreat, and did not want to fight to the death with Du Wei. Especially after noticing that Gu Zheng did not leave, it was even more so.
He believed that as long as he continued to fight, the one who would not be able to hold on in the end would be Du Wei.
Seven hours, eight hours.
Du Wei held on for two hours, but he also had some minor injuries on his body. The black clothed Devil Cultivator was also panting. After fighting for such a long time, they had used up a lot of their strength. In a battle between two people of the same level, endurance was often the deciding factor.
Fortunately, the opponent was injured. Otherwise, it would be unknown who would win in the end.
"He's here!"
Gu Zheng, who had been watching the battle, suddenly raised his head. A ray of light quickly flew over from the distance. Sora Aoi, who had traveled thousands of miles, had finally arrived.
As soon as Sora Aoi arrived, he released the unique pressure of a Void Return cultivator. Du Wei and the black clothed Devil Cultivator stopped fighting and looked at Sora Aoi in surprise.
"Sect Master, are you alright?"
Sora Aoi directly landed beside Gu Zheng and sized up Gu Zheng. Only then did he relax. Du Wei and the black clothed Devil Cultivator both stopped fighting. The black clothed Devil Cultivator even wanted to escape at any time.
"I'm fine." Gu Zheng shook his head. Seeing that Gu Zheng was indeed fine, Sora Aoi turned back and looked at Du Wei and the black clothed Devil Cultivator. Finally, his gaze fell on the black clothed Devil Cultivator.
"I was wondering who it was. So it's you, the demon brat that everyone hates!"
Sora Aoi stared at the black clothed Devil Cultivator and said coldly. From the looks of it, he knew this black clothed Devil Cultivator.
"Senior Ouyang, I didn't know he was related to you. Everything is a misunderstanding!"
The black clothed Devil Cultivator was a little bitter. He didn't expect Sora Aoi to come, and he didn't expect Sora Aoi to be related to this Gu Zheng. If he had known earlier, he definitely wouldn't have come, and he wouldn't have been entangled with Du Wei for so long.
In the entire world, there weren't many people who could pose a threat to him, but Sora Aoi was one of them.
"Misunderstanding? Even if it's really a misunderstanding, do you think I'll let you go after meeting you today? "
Sora Aoi said coldly, then looked at Du Wei and asked vigilantly, "Who are you? Were you the one who was holding back this demon brat just now?"
Sora Aoi saw the two of them fighting from afar, so he asked this question. Gu Zheng was on one side, and the two of them were on the other side. Gu Zheng hadn't mentioned about his enmity with other cultivators before, so it seemed that Du Wei was most likely helping Gu Zheng.
"Senior, I was indeed holding him back, but I have a request. Can you let him go?"
Du Wei's expression was somewhat bitter. He finally understood why Gu Zheng didn't leave. He didn't expect that Gu Zheng had such a strong person like Sora Aoi behind him. However, Sora Aoi was clearly a rogue cultivator, so how could he be with Gu Zheng?
It was true that Gu Zheng had the Emei Ring. With the Emei Ring, he was the Sect Leader of Emei. He still had some understanding of Emei's situation. They didn't even have any cultivators, so how could they have such a deep relationship with Sora Aoi?
Looking at Sora Aoi's appearance, he knew that he had rushed over from thousands of miles away, and he had flown for a long time.
"For the sake of you protecting my Sect Leader, I won't make things difficult for you. However, I definitely can't let this demon brat go. Don't tell me you don't know what he has done?"
Sora Aoi pointed at the black-clothed devil cultivator and said slowly. The black-clothed devil cultivator was a little surprised that Du Wei would help him, but it was a good thing that Du Wei helped him. He really didn't have much confidence in facing Sora Aoi alone.
"I know, but he has been trapped outside for all these years. He has a home that he can't return to. He has regrets. Senior, please spare him this time!"
Du Wei said softly. The reason why he helped the black-clothed devil cultivator was purely because he knew very few cultivators outside. The black-clothed devil cultivator was one of them. They were all outside and had homes that they couldn't return to. They were all in the same boat.
