"Master's Junior Zhang, I'll be right there!" Yang Zhenling replied to the elders' urging. Then, she looked at Gu Zheng and said, "Fellow Cultivator Gu, since you are a Rogue Cultivator, why don't you travel with us?"
Gu Zheng saw a strange glint in Yang Zhenling's eyes when he said this. It seemed like there was a deeper meaning behind his suggestion.
"Junior Yang, isn't it too abrupt of you to send such an invitation? Fellow Cultivator Gu is an independent cultivator. Independent cultivators like to be alone, so let's not force him to do anything, "Luo Jin said with a hint of reproach in his voice.
"That's right. I also like to travel alone. I appreciate Fellow Cultivator Yang's kindness. Let's part ways here!"
Although he didn't know what Yang Zhenling and Luo Jin were up to, Gu Zheng took this opportunity to leave.
"Well, since Fellow Cultivator Gu likes to travel alone, I won't keep you any longer. We'll meet again someday. The road ahead is dangerous, so please be careful, Fellow Cultivator Gu."
Yang Zhenling cupped his hands and bid farewell to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng returned the gesture and immediately set off. As for the middle-aged man, Luo Jin, he watched Gu Zheng's disappearing figure with a sinister and complicated smile.
Gu Zheng's figure soon disappeared into the wind and snow. The 15 people from the Heavenly Spiral Sect also set off immediately, as if they wanted to keep up with Gu Zheng's pace.
The 10 people from the Sky Heart Sect also set off. However, they didn't follow the people from the Heavenly Spiral Sect closely. Instead, they kept a distance from them.
Among the 10 people from the Sky Heart Sect, Master's Junior Zhang, Yang Zhenling, and a person wrapped in a white fox robe walked at the back of the group.
"Junior Zhenling, did you discover something when you invited Gu An to travel with us?" Master's Junior Zhang asked softly.
"I didn't discover anything. I just felt that Rogue Cultivators must have a hard time cultivating. He's about the same age as me, so I invited him," Yang Zhenling said with a smile.
"If you didn't discover anything, then what was it? I don't believe that you would be willing to risk offending Luo Jin and invite him to travel with you just because of what you said. "Martial Uncle Zhang also smiled.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Zhen Ling has the ability to see through other people's cultivation. Could it be that this man who looks like you has a very high cultivation?"
The person wrapped in the white fox robe spoke. It was a woman, and her voice was as clear as a mountain spring.
"I wasn't able to see through his cultivation, so it was a strange thing. However, I wasn't lying. The reason I invited him wasn't because he was unusual! I really feel that he's about the same age as me and is also a rogue cultivator, so I don't want to see anything happen to him. "Yang Zhenling smiled bitterly.
"You couldn't see through his cultivation? What kind of situation was this? Could it be that his cultivation has reached a terrifying level, so you can't see through it? "Martial Uncle Zhang was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.
"Even if he is a late stage Qi Condensation cultivator, I can still see through his cultivation with a single glance. Martial Uncle Zhang wondered if Gu An's cultivation had already surpassed the late stage of Qi Condensation. That's obviously impossible! "Yang Zhenling shook his head.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Yang, according to what you said, what's this strange situation about?" The white-robed woman asked curiously.
"There are all kinds of strange things in this world. It's strange that I can see through other people's cultivation! Tell me, what's going on here? "Seeing that the two of them were silent, Yang Zhenling chuckled and said," That's why I said it! You don't have to be too surprised about this. Although I couldn't see through his cultivation, it doesn't mean that his cultivation is very high. "
"That's true." Martial Uncle Zhang nodded.
"Luo Jin is really sinister. To let him go on alone …"
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. If he hears about it, it'll affect the harmonious relationship between Heaven's Will Faction and Heavenly Spiral Faction. Besides, your Senior Apprentice Brother Yang has already warned him about the dangers of the path. As for whether he can understand it, it'll depend on his luck. "
Before the white-robed woman could finish, she was interrupted by Martial Uncle Zhang.
"What's the big deal? They just have more people in their faction than us."
The white-robed woman muttered in a low voice, and the three of them fell into silence.
The Heavenly Spiral Sect's speed was so fast that Gu Zheng, who had originally disappeared from their sight, could already be seen faintly in the wind and snow.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Luo, do you think the people from the Demon Path will make a move?"
Looking at Gu Zheng's figure, the seductive man walking with Luo Jin asked softly.
"Shangguan Feng, can you please stay away from me?" Luo Jin glared at the seductive man in disgust.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Luo, do you think the people from the Demon Path will make a move?"
Facing Luo Jin's disgust, Shangguan Feng didn't do as he was told. He just asked the same question again.
"I don't know, but according to their style of doing things, it's very likely that they will make a move." Luo Jin restrained the disgust on his face and said impatiently.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Luo, the people from the Demon Path came prepared. If they make a move later, you can take revenge, but don't go too far, lest you fall into their trap." Shangguan Feng paused and then said, "It was an accident that we met the people from the Demon Path on our trip to Kunlun this time. But as the two leaders of the Heavenly Spiral Faction, the most important thing for us is to ensure the safety of our disciples to the greatest extent. So I don't want you to act on impulse."
"Got it."
Luo Jin waved his hand impatiently. The scene that made him furious the day before yesterday appeared in front of his eyes again.
The day before yesterday, the people from the Heavenly Spiral Faction and the Heavenly Heart Faction were ambushed by the people from the Demon Path in the Kunlun Mountains.
The people from the Demon Path were very arrogant. They said that this was the era of the decline of the Orthodox Faction and the rise of the Demon Path. Now that all the factions had to go to the Kunlun Sect to receive benefits, they had to give the people from the Orthodox Faction some benefits. As for the benefits mentioned by the people from the Demon Path, it was naturally a sneak attack. They would not let Luo Jin and the others go to the Kunlun Sect too smoothly.
The people from the Demon Path dared to be so arrogant during the Kunlun Grand Meeting. This kind of thing had never happened before. The people from the Heavenly Spiral Faction and the Heavenly Heart Faction were naturally very angry at the arrogance of the Demon Path. So, there was a big battle later.
It had to be said that the people from the Demon Path dared to choose this time to ambush the people from the Orthodox Faction. Their strength could not be underestimated. In the following battle, the people from the Heavenly Spiral Faction and the Heavenly Heart Faction suffered casualties. Luo Jin's beloved disciple even died in the battle.
The battle finally ended after both the Orthodox Faction and the Evil Faction paid a price. Before the people from the Demon Path left, they said that this sneak attack was just the beginning. As long as the people from the Heavenly Spiral Faction and the Heavenly Heart Faction did not arrive at the Kunlun Sect, they had to be in fear.
Since the people from the Demon Path had already spoken, Luo Jin, who was eager to take revenge, thought that this was a good opportunity to take revenge after seeing Gu Zheng.
The snowfall became heavier. The snowflakes that were like goose feathers were swept up by the strong wind, making it hard for people to open their eyes.
Yang Zhenling and Luo Jin's attitudes were different. Luo Jin, who did not want him to go with them, was now following them at a distance. This made Gu Zheng have to be more careful. It was reasonable to say that since Luo Jin did not want him to go with them, the people from the Heavenly Spiral Faction should stay away from him.
"Is it just because I am too cautious?"
Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly sped up. After walking for about ten minutes, he slowed down again.
"Sure enough, there is something fishy. If I am fast, you are fast. If I am slow, you are slow too. If this is not following me, then what is it? If the snow was not so heavy and they were afraid of losing me, they would have followed me closely. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to be discovered. But then again, what is the purpose of following me? "Gu Zheng thought.
"You are not looking for any treasure. It does not make sense to follow you. But if they are using you as bait, then everything makes sense." The voice of the weapon spirit sounded.
"Bait? Who are they trying to tempt? People from the Devil Path? "
Gu Zheng frowned and thought of this possibility. After all, when he was in the sect, he had heard Elder Wuyou mention that the activities of the Devil Path had become more frequent recently.
"It is very likely." The weapon spirit said.
"If this is the case, the Devil Path is really rampant. After all, this place is not far from the Kunlun Sect." Gu Zheng shook his head.
"Be careful. If it is really the Devil Path, and they dare to make a move in the Kunlun Mountains, they must have something to rely on." The weapon spirit reminded.
"Haha." Gu Zheng laughed. "Since I know that I am being used as bait, I might as well jump out of this trap! Whoever wants to be bait can be. Anyway, I am not doing it. "
In the wind and snow, Gu Zheng's figure deviated from the route, which made Luo Jin, who was following behind him, frown.
"What is he going to do? If he goes that way, he will be further away from the Kunlun Sect. "Luo Jin murmured.
"There are two possibilities. One is that he has something else to do. The other is that he has noticed our intentions." Shangguan Feng said.
"Damn it!" Luo Jin cursed. "No matter why he is going that way, I can't let him do what he wants."
"What are you going to do?" Shangguan Feng frowned.
"Tell him that he has to go, even if he doesn't want to!"
As soon as Luo Jin's voice fell, he had already rushed out. Shangguan Feng did not stop him. After all, what Luo Jin said was not a bad idea.
Although Shangguan Feng wanted to ensure the safety of the accompanying disciples to the greatest extent, it was better to take the initiative to attack instead of always being on tenterhooks and guarding against sneak attacks. Therefore, Shangguan Feng also followed Luo Jin out.
Seeing that someone was chasing after him, Gu Zheng stopped and a trace of ridicule appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Fellow Daoist Luo, are you reluctant to part with me?"
As soon as he saw the sneer on Gu Zheng's face, Luo Jin understood that this was the second possibility mentioned by Shangguan Feng. The other party had guessed their intentions! In this case, Luo Jin also felt that it was better to save himself some trouble and directly get to the point.
"Yes, I am very reluctant to part with you, Fellow Daoist Gu!" Luo Jin also sneered. "To be invited to the Kunlun Sect, even if he is a rogue cultivator, he must be a righteous person. As a righteous person, it is our duty to eliminate the devil and defend the righteous path. Now, there are people from the Devil Sect sneaking around in the dark and attacking us righteous people who are going to the Kunlun Sect! Previously, we and the Tianxin Sect had a big fight with them. In the end, they were defeated and fled. However, they also said that they would not let us have a peaceful journey. Therefore, no matter what, Fellow Daoist Gu must be the bait. This is also for your own good! "
"For my own good? Why can't I see it?" Gu Zheng sneered.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, think about it. If you go on alone and encounter people from the Devil Sect, you will definitely die. If you go on as the bait, although there will be some danger, we will be your strong backing! "Shangguan Feng giggled.
Gu Zheng frowned in disgust. For a grown man to laugh like that, it really gave people goosebumps.
"Even if I die, it has nothing to do with you, right? I chose this path myself. Even if I die, I will be happy! Don't talk to me about righteous people. Righteous people have to be used by others. Do you still need to smile? Besides, aren't you also righteous people? Since you only need a bait, with so many of your disciples, you can find a few to walk in front and replace my role! "Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense with me! Are you going to go or not? "
Luo Jin roared and took a step forward. He looked like he wanted to use force to solve this problem.
"Senior Luo Jin, no matter what, we are righteous people. Isn't it inappropriate to do this?" The people from the Tianxin Sect had also arrived. Yang Zhenling ignored his Martial Uncle Zhang and said.
"Boy, don't you want to avenge your dead disciples? If you want to, stay here and don't look for trouble! "Luo Jin turned around and glared at Yang Zhenling.
"Even if you want to take revenge, you don't need to use this method, right? What's the difference between this and the so-called Diabolism? In order to achieve your goal, you can use unscrupulous means? "The white-robed woman from the Tianxin Sect also spoke.
Luo Jin flew into a rage out of humiliation. "You …"
"Enough, the two of you are really impudent. Am I, your Martial Uncle, the leader, or are the two of you the leaders?"
Martial Uncle Zhang quickly reprimanded them when he saw that they were about to become enemies with the Heavenly Spiral Sect. Although Yang Zhenling and the white-robed woman had a special status, their disobedience made him unhappy.
"Sigh." Yang Zhenling sighed and returned to the group.
"Of course you are the leader," the white-robed woman muttered softly and also returned to the group.
"Hmph." Luo Jin sneered at the people from the Tianxin Sect with satisfaction. Then, he looked at Gu Zheng with hatred. "Go? Or not? "
"You look like you want to fight? Do you think I'm scared? Or do you think that itinerant cultivators are easy to bully? "
Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes and felt that it was very funny. As far as he was concerned, the current situation was like a child threatening an adult. Furthermore, he was using martial strength that he thought to be amazing.
"So what if I think you're easy to bully because you're an itinerant cultivator?"
Luo Jin roared and kicked at Gu Zheng from a distance.
The Internal Strength he released transformed into the shape of a tiger's head. The surrounding snow seemed to be swept up by a fierce wind and looked very powerful.
Gu Zheng sneered in his heart. Using the Ethereal Illusion Skill, he easily dodged the Internal Strength attack and quickly approached Luo Jin.
The distance between the two of them was not far. Gu Zheng's Ethereal Illusion Skill was fast and strange. Luo Jin, whose eyes were wide open, did not expect things to turn out this way. In his opinion, Gu Zheng's Level Four cultivation was not bad. But now, it seemed that it was not what he had imagined.
The flustered Luo Jin immediately launched his fists and legs in a futile attempt to stop Gu Zheng from approaching. However, Gu Zheng had already arrived in front of him. The internal strength he released turned into a fist and ruthlessly punched him in the stomach.
"Ah!"
Luo Jin screamed in pain and flew backward.
