"Whether to spare him or not, I'm not wrong. Only our Sect Leader can decide!"
Soran Aoi said indifferently. Du Wei was slightly stunned and asked again, "Senior, the Sect Leader you mentioned, is it the Emei Sect Leader?"
"That's right, this is our Emei Sect Leader!"
Soran Aoi nodded directly, while Du Wei was somewhat lost in thought. The Emei Sect Leader was actually so young, and Soran Aoi had already joined Emei.
With the addition of Soran Aoi, one could imagine that the strength of Emei would definitely increase by a lot.
"Senior, have you already joined Emei?"
Although he knew that Soran Aoi had definitely entered Emei, he still couldn't help but ask. After all, Soran Aoi's identity was there. He was a veteran cultivator who was much older than him.
"That's right!"
"In this way, Emei finally has another cultivator. There's hope for Emei's recovery!"
Du Wei seemed to be relieved. Soran Aoi looked at him and continued, "I'm not the only cultivator in Emei. Now, there are three cultivators. Who are you?"
What Soran Aoi asked was also the question Gu Zheng wanted to ask. Who exactly was he? He had been protecting him before, and it seemed that he had only started after seeing the Emei Ring. If that was the case, it was very likely that he had a relationship with Emei.
However, in the history of Emei, there had never been such a cultivator. All the cultivators were recorded. They either entered the Immortal World of Desolation or died from exhaustion of their lifespan. There was absolutely no existence called Du Wei.
"There are three cultivators!"
Du Wei was stunned again. Then, his face revealed a look of joy, as if he was really happy. The black-clothed Devil Cultivator frowned. He wanted to say something but didn't.
"Sect Master, I beg you to spare him this time. I can guarantee that he will not target you in the future!"
Du Wei pleaded for the black-clothed Devil Cultivator. The black-clothed Devil Cultivator stood there without saying anything, but he was grateful in his heart. At this time, it was not easy for Du Wei to speak up for him.
"Supreme Elder, what did this person do? Why did you say that before?"
Gu Zheng didn't answer Du Wei's question. Instead, he asked Sora Aoi. Hearing Gu Zheng's question, Sora Aoi's eyes narrowed and a murderous aura emanated from his body.
"He's a demonic cultivator. Demonic cultivators do have some quick techniques that are harmful to the harmony of the heavens, but most of them will control themselves and won't go too far. His real name is Shen Ziming, and his courtesy name is Zhenghe. It's a good name, but what he does has nothing to do with his name!"
"At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, he, who was already a cultivator, actually helped the Qing Dynasty to slaughter three million people in the Chuan Province. He did this in order to obtain the blood of these five million people to cultivate his Blood Demon Art. Such an outrageous act, let alone the Righteous Dao, even the Devil Dao would not tolerate him. In the end, they joined forces to hunt him down, but unfortunately, they still let him escape. However, from then on, he did not dare to return to China. As long as he returned, as long as there was his aura, both the Righteous and Devil Dao would definitely hunt him down!"
Three million people?
Gu Zheng's mouth was wide open. This was too terrifying. Three million! Not three hundred, not thirty thousand, but a total of three million. So many people had been killed by him.
No wonder Sora Aoi was like this when he saw him and said that he would not forgive him.
"Originally, as long as the matters of the secular world do not affect us, we will not interfere. It's normal for dynasties to change. This is the business of the secular world. Not only did he violate the rule of the Immortal Cultivation World not to affect the secular world, but he also killed three million people. This heinous crime, no matter what, can not be washed away!"
Sora Aoi said again. Gu Zheng had already raised his head and looked at Du Wei. "Senior Du, I don't know who you are, and what relationship you have with Emei. Let's not talk about this. Let's just talk about what he did. Is there a reason to forgive him?"
"If we forgive him, what about the three million souls? Can you tell me?"
Gu Zheng looked straight at Du Wei. Although he could not see his appearance clearly, Gu Zheng's question was very powerful. Du Wei hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"I did make a big mistake, but if I didn't do so at that time, my lifespan would be exhausted. Only in this way can I be promoted and have more lifespan!" The black-clothed demonic cultivator argued.
"For the sake of your lifespan, you want three million people to sacrifice themselves for you. What right do you have?"
Gu Zheng asked loudly. This time, the black-clothed demonic cultivator did not speak, but he kept his head raised. It was obvious that he did not think that he had done anything wrong. A person like him was the kind of person who had nothing to do with the life and death of others. Not to mention three million, even if it was thirty million, as long as it was beneficial to him, he would still dare to kill.
"Supreme Elder, this person cannot be left alive!"
Gu Zheng turned his head and said to Sora Aoi. The killing intent on Sora Aoi's body became even stronger. The black-clothed demonic cultivator felt that something was wrong and suddenly stabbed the red sword in his hand towards Du Wei.
Du Wei had always helped him and pleaded for mercy for him, but at this time, not only did he not repay Du Wei, he even suddenly attacked.
"Shameless villain!"
Sora Aoi shouted angrily. Du Wei was very close to the black-clothed demonic cultivator. Although he also reacted, he was too close. He was still stabbed by the red sword and blood splattered out.
Du Wei, who was stabbed, was directly thrown towards Sora Aoi, while he quickly flew backwards.
"Supreme Elder, go chase after him. I'll be here!"
Gu Zheng anxiously shouted. Sora Aoi nodded and immediately flew out, while Gu Zheng walked to Du Wei's side. Du Wei had already fallen to the ground, the sword had pierced through his stomach, and his injuries were extremely serious.
Du Wei, who was lying there, had his hat fall off, revealing his true appearance.
Seeing his appearance, Gu Zheng was stunned again. His face was covered in blade scars, and it was impossible to see what he looked like.
"I'm sorry!"
Du Wei said weakly, while Gu Zheng pressed down on his wound, indicating that he should not speak.
Du Wei's injuries were heavy, but he was a cultivator, so this kind of injury was not fatal. It was just that the black-clothed demonic cultivator's red sword was strange, Du Wei's blood kept flowing out, and could not be stopped at all.
"A mid-level immortal essence pill can save him!"
The artifact spirit suddenly said. Gu Zheng, on the other hand, was very surprised, and quickly asked in his heart: "Isn't the immortal essence pill used for cultivation? How can it save people?"
The immortal essence pill is used for cultivation, but it also depends on who refined it. Your mid-level immortal essence pill was personally made by the Lord Gokusen, and the spirit energy is very strong. The Lord Gokusen was originally invulnerable to poison, and the immortal essence pill he made had a special kind of spirit energy. The man's sword was poisonous, and the immortal essence pill could expel his poison, the spirit explained. Gu Zheng did not care if the artifact spirit's explanation was right or wrong, he immediately took out a mid-level immortal essence pill and fed it to Du Wei.
First of all, Du Wei was not a bad person. From his pleading for the black clothed Devil Cultivator, not only was he not bad, he might even be pedantic.
Secondly, Du Wei had indeed helped him before. Without Du Wei stopping the black clothed Devil Cultivator, it would have been very difficult for Gu Zheng to hold on until the arrival of the black clothed demonic cultivator. Also, Gu Zheng had not figured out his relationship with Emei, so he could not sit back and watch him die.
The immortal essence pill was very precious, but it could not be compared to a human life, especially when this human life had helped him before. Strictly speaking, he had saved him.
Once the immortal essence pill entered his stomach, Du Wei immediately felt a warm current spreading throughout his body. Very quickly, his wounds stopped bleeding, and even his severely injured internal organs began to repair themselves.
Fortunately, he did not injure his heart. Otherwise, even if Gu Zheng had the immortal essence pill, he would not have been able to save him.
Although Gu Zheng had saved his life, because of his new injuries and old injuries, his strength had decreased greatly. The current him probably no longer had the strength of a Divine Transformation Stage cultivator, and could only be compared to a Qi Transformation Stage cultivator.
However, even if his strength had decreased, he was still much stronger than ordinary inner strength cultivators. After all, he was an immortal cultivator.
"Thank you!"
Du Wei replied and thanked him. He understood that it was Gu Zheng who had saved him. However, he hesitated when addressing Gu Zheng. In the end, he did not call him that.
"Do you still want to plead for that Devil Cultivator?"
Gu Zheng asked again. This was the real-life version of the farmer and the snake. Du Wei had wholeheartedly helped the Devil Cultivator, but in the end, the Devil Cultivator had almost killed Du Wei.
In the heart of the Devil Cultivator, only he was the most important. Everything else could be sacrificed. No matter how Du Wei pleaded for mercy for such a person, Gu Zheng would not let him go. Letting him go was equivalent to finding trouble for himself.
Du Wei laughed bitterly and did not say anything. It was useless to say anything now. The Devil Cultivator had indeed gone too far. He had actually used him to buy time for himself to escape. This was something that even he had not thought of.
If Gu Zheng had not been here today, he might have been finished just like that.
"Who exactly are you? What is your relationship with Emei?"
Gu Zheng looked at him and asked again. Du Wei was definitely related to Emei. Otherwise, he would not have acted like that before. Even more so, he would not have wholeheartedly wanted to save him after seeing the Emei ring.
"I am actually an abandoned disciple of Emei!"
After hesitating for a while, Du Wei slowly told his story. He was indeed related to Emei. He was even an Emei disciple in the past. He was even an outstanding disciple of Emei.
Du Wei was born at the end of the Qin dynasty and the beginning of the Han dynasty. It was a chaotic era, but he was lucky. He met the Elder of Emei at that time, who was also an Immortal Cultivator. He was brought to Emei to cultivate. His talent was very good, and he only used forty years to reach the Immortal Cultivator realm.
To successfully break through and become a true Immortal Cultivator in forty years was already an extraordinary existence. It was simply impossible now. Except for Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng himself was an Immortal Cultivator.
After becoming an Immortal Cultivator, he was naturally high-spirited and shouted that he would eliminate the Devil Cultivator. At that time, the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth had already disappeared. However, all the major sects still had remnants of their heritage. At that time, the number of Immortal Cultivators was also much more than now.
Unfortunately, Du Wei did not succeed in eliminating the Devil Cultivator. He almost became a Devil himself.
The story was very simple and melodramatic. After becoming an Immortal Cultivator for hundreds of years, he fell in love with a female disciple of the Devil Sect. The most ridiculous thing was that the female disciple had not yet reached the Immortal Cultivator realm.
The Devil Sect and the Righteous Sect were irreconcilable. Although they did not fight and kill each other every day, the disciples of the Righteous Sect and the Devil Sect were absolutely not allowed to be together, especially on the side of Emei.
Even people from Shu Mountain came and asked Du Wei to kill the female Devil Cultivator. Otherwise, they would kill him.
The result of breaking up the couple was imaginable. At that time, Du Wei did not think that he was wrong at all. In the end, he took the female Devil Cultivator and escaped. Since then, he had never returned to Huaxia.
Because he was the shame of Emei, Emei completely removed his name. Even his name was not on the family tree. Therefore, Gu Zheng did not know of this person's existence. However, the older generation had heard of his legend, but it was just a legend.
When he escaped, he was injured. His internal injury was left behind at that time.
The female Devil Cultivator was also injured. In the end, she did not break through to the Immortal Cultivator realm. She lived for more than 300 years, but her lifespan was exhausted and she died. The reason why she could live for so long was that Du Wei had created a method to draw in the Immortal Power. He took his own Immortal Power and guided it into her body to extend her life.
But no matter what, it was not his. In the end, she still died. For the next thousand years, Du Wei had been alone and had been hiding in India.
After hearing this, Gu Zheng was stunned. He did not expect that Du Wei had such a complicated story. He also did not expect that Du Wei and Emei had such a deep relationship. In other words, he was a disciple of Emei.
Although his name was removed, it did not change the fact that he was from Emei.
"I don't hate Emei. I only hate myself for not being strong enough. If it weren't for Master and several Martial Uncles who went easy on me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape. I have always remembered their kindness. Unfortunately, they are not here now!"
Du Wei sighed. At that time, he was only at the Huashen Realm, while his master had reached the peak of the Voiding Realm. If it weren't for his master's secret help, he would not have been able to escape.
His master did not die. After breaking through to the Jin Xian Realm, he went to the Untainted Immortal World, which made him feel gratified.
"What an old dog's blood. I didn't expect it to really exist!"
Gu Zheng shook his head affectionately. Du Wei looked at him in a daze and could not help but smile bitterly.
This was a melodramatic thing now, but at that time, it was absolutely forbidden. There was no possibility of it being allowed at all. That was why he ended up like this.
In fact, it was not easy for the righteous disciples to be with the Devil Cultivators now, and it was not allowed, but it was not as strict as before. After all, there was a reason for their existence. The Devil Cultivators had always existed, and neither side could do anything to the other.
"Are you willing to go back to Emei?"
Gu Zheng suddenly asked. Du Wei suddenly raised his head and looked at him in disbelief.
He had thought about going back to Emei in his dream, but after waking up, he did not dare to think about it because he knew it was impossible. He did not expect Gu Zheng to suddenly ask him this.
If it was someone else who asked, he might just smile and never answer. But Gu Zheng was different. Gu Zheng was the current head of Emei.
He represented the whole Emei. If he asked Du Wei to go back, Du Wei could go back. Now, he was the most powerful person in the whole Emei.
This was different from other sects. In other sects with Xiuxianists, the Sect Leader would respect the Xiuxianist Elders and listen to their opinions. However, in Emei, the three Xiuxianist Grand Elders all listened to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng had absolute power in Emei.
What was more, Du Wei's matter had happened so long ago that the disciples of Emei did not have any impression of it. It would not attract strong opposition at all.
"Can, can I really go back?"
Du Wei choked with sobs. The thing that he only dared to think about in his dream suddenly appeared in front of him. No wonder he could not control himself like this. It had been more than a thousand years. In fact, he had been thinking about whether he could go back and take a look every day.
"If I say you can go back, you can go back, as long as you are willing!"
Gu Zheng said seriously. He was the head of Emei, commonly known as the number one leader, and also the number one leader with absolute power. As long as he did not disband Emei or do something outrageous, his words were the iron law of Emei. Everyone would listen to him.
