The anxious Shangguan Xusheng opened his mouth and spat out a large amount of blood-red smoke at Meow Meow.
"Interesting!"
The smoke was not affected by the energy of heaven and earth and swept toward Meow Meow in the air. This made Meow Meow's mouth curve into a sneer.
"Whoosh!"
Meow Meow waved his sleeves and a strong wind blew the blood-red smoke away. Even some trees on the ground were uprooted. Shangguan Xusheng was blown up and his body hit a big tree heavily. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. However, before Shangguan Xusheng landed, Meow Meow raised his little hand and his body immediately floated in the air.
"How dare you plot against us with this little ability? Did you eat a bear's heart or a leopard's gall? "
Meow Meow in the air waved his little hand forward and a crisp slap sounded on Shangguan Xusheng's face. He spat out blood again and two teeth flew out.
"You, you …"
Shangguan Xusheng's eyes were filled with horror. He could not speak a complete sentence.
"Beast!"
An angry roar came from the sea. Without Shangguan Xusheng's control, the strange fish had already returned to their previous state. Shangguan Feng had also rowed the boat and quickly approached the coast.
Disappointment, anger, and heartache. Shangguan Feng looked at Shangguan Xusheng with a complicated expression.
"Uncle, uncle, save me!"
Shangguan Xusheng was still fixed in the air. He wanted to struggle, but he could not move. In his eyes, there was only fear. There was no hatred like when he was alone in the forest.
When the Red Sky Conch Sect held a banquet for Gu Zheng last night, Shangguan Xusheng was called out from the place of seclusion. He did not know about Meow Meow's identity as a beast cultivator. He only knew that Gu Zheng was the head of the Emei Sect and Meow Meow was his follower.
Shangguan Xusheng, who thought highly of himself and was dissatisfied with the sect finding outside help to replace him, was reprimanded by the elders of the sect after he spoke sarcastically to Gu Zheng at the banquet. After he was ordered to get out by Mu Chunfeng, he left the sect with resentment in his heart.
Shangguan Xusheng did not know much about Gu Zheng and Meow Meow, nor did he have the time to do so. After being depressed for an entire night outside, he immediately had a vicious thought when he saw Gu Zheng and the others entering the Blood Tide Forbidden Area and entering the sea on a boat.
In Shangguan Xusheng's opinion, Gu Zheng's cultivation was at most at the late stage of the fifth stage. As for Meow Meow, he didn't even consider it at all. It was no surprise that two people with such cultivation would die in the sea.
Unfortunately, the ending was beyond Shangguan Xusheng's imagination.
In fact, Shangguan Xusheng was not stupid. If he had known in advance that Meow Meow was a demon cultivator, he would not have acted rashly.
"Xusheng, the whole sect has high hopes for you, but you've gone too far, so far that you can't go back."
Shangguan Feng's body trembled. After he finished speaking, he turned to Gu Zheng and said, "Leader Gu, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. I'm deeply sorry for this! I'll have to trouble you to bring this little bastard back to the sect. Red Sky Snail Sect will definitely give you an explanation for what happened today. I … I'm afraid I can't do it! "
"Pfft …"
As soon as Shangguan Feng's voice fell, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face also turned blood-red. The part of his body that had been corroded by the strange fish's blood on the ship was even more itchy.
"What a tyrannical evil aura!"
The voice of the artifact spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"Is there any way to save him?" Gu Zheng asked.
"If it were anyone else, they would be powerless to reverse the situation! But you have the Dragon Blood Crystal. Not to mention that the evil aura has just entered his body, even his old illness can be cured by you! I'll tell you the method to activate the Dragon Blood Crystal now, but if you want to completely cure him, you'll need two days! "The artifact spirit said.
"Fellow Shangguan, don't despair. You won't die yet!"
Gu Zheng waved his hand and the Dragon Blood Crystal appeared in his palm.
"I can still be saved?"
Shangguan Feng, who was already in despair, looked at Gu Zheng in disbelief.
It was no wonder that Shangguan Feng was so shocked. Anyone who was injured by the strange fish in the Blood Tide Forbidden Area, without exception, died very quickly. There had never been a precedent of being saved.
"That's right. Not only can you be saved, I am even able to cure your previous injuries. However, it will take me two days."
While speaking, Gu Zheng had already sent his immortal power into the Dragon Blood Crystal. It also emitted a red light and a slight hot aura.
"Gu, Sect Leader Gu, if, if you can cure me, I, Shangguan Feng, will repay you like an ox or a horse!"
The desire to survive surged in Shangguan Feng's eyes. He was so excited that he stuttered.
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. After injecting his immortal power again, he brought the shining Dragon Blood Crystal close to Shangguan Feng's wound.
"Ah …"
Shangguan Feng let out a heart-wrenching scream. Traces of blood-red mist were pulled out of his wound by the Dragon Blood Crystal.
The screams continued, but as the blood-red mist was pulled out, Shangguan Feng's originally weak screams became more and more powerful.
After a while, there was no more blood-red mist being sucked out of Shangguan Feng's wound. He, whose voice had become hoarse, looked at Gu Zheng excitedly. "I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that I could still survive like this!"
"It will take two more days for you to be truly alive." Gu Zheng smiled.
"Sect Leader Gu, I, Shangguan Feng, am a man of my word. You saved my life, I will repay you like an ox or a horse!" Shangguan Feng said seriously.
"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, don't be too serious. You really don't need to be an ox or a horse."
Gu Zheng's voice paused. He didn't want to say anything more about gratitude. He pointed to Shangguan Xusheng, who was still trapped in the air. "Let's take him back first! I also have a question to ask Fellow Daoist Shangguan. "
"Okay!"
Shangguan Feng responded. The group of people took the ashen-faced Shangguan Xusheng and began to rush back to the Red Conch Sect.
Gu Zheng's question was naturally about Shangguan Feng's various abnormalities after the strange fish appeared. Shangguan Feng also knew what Gu Zheng wanted to ask. On the way back, she took the initiative to tell Gu Zheng.
The branch of the Heavenly Conch Sect had never given up on exploring the Blood Tide Forbidden Area. Gu Zheng also knew this. In the process of exploring the Blood Tide Forbidden Area, there was a different period of time more than five hundred years ago.
During one of the exploration of the Blood Tide Forbidden Area, a huge strange fish appeared, and those who explored the forbidden area were all wiped out.
The sudden appearance of the huge strange fish didn't scare the people of the Heavenly Conch Sect. Instead, it made them even more curious.
In the next few explorations of the Blood Tide Forbidden Area, the strange fish appeared again! These strange fish were very powerful. Their combat power wasn't inferior to a cultivator at the late stage of the fifth level. Those who explored the forbidden area didn't come back alive.
In the end, the Heavenly Conch Sect still told the other branches of the Heavenly Conch Sect about the abnormalities of the Blood Tide Forbidden Area. As a result, there was the largest exploration of the forbidden area in history. The people who explored the forbidden area this time were all at the late stage of the fifth level.
During this exploration, the strange fish still appeared. Many branches of the Heavenly Conch Sect still suffered heavy losses. However, it was also during this exploration that everyone discovered a secret! The huge strange fish seemed to be controlled by someone. They grew from small strange fish in an instant in a short period of time!
At that time, it was a coincidence that an elder of the Red Conch Sect was heading to the coast of the forbidden area. He found a Heavenly Conch Sect disciple in the forest whose face was covered with light patterns and who was making hand seals. The disciple named Gongsun Chang Sheng panicked when he saw the elder coming. After injuring the elder, he escaped from the Blood Tide Island.
Gongsun Chang Sheng stopped making hand seals and the strange fish in the sea immediately returned to their original size. A young elite disciple actually had the strength to injure an elder. In addition to the various abnormalities he showed, the branches of the Heavenly Conch Sect came to a conclusion!
Gongsun Chang Sheng, who had explored the Blood Tide Forbidden Area, must have grasped some secrets of the forbidden area and obtained benefits that others didn't know about!
However, it was a pity that Gongsun Chang Sheng seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. The various branches of the Heavenly Conch Sect didn't receive any news about him.
The abnormality on the sea today reminded Shangguan Feng of the legend of Gongsun Chang Sheng. Therefore, she quickly asked Gu Zheng to send Miaomiao to the forest to check it out. After all, Gongsun Chang Sheng was a precedent. If this control could be done from a distance, he wouldn't have been discovered by the elder who passed by the forest.
However, what Shangguan Feng didn't expect was that the person controlling the strange fish was actually her nephew, Shangguan Xusheng!
As Shangguan Feng's scream was too loud when she was being treated by Gu Zheng, before Gu Zheng and the others returned to the Red Sky Conch Sect with Shangguan Xusheng, they had already met people who came to see what had happened.
These people met Gu Zheng and the others in batches. Among them were Sect Leader Mu of the Red Sky Conch Sect and the higher-ups of other sects. After all, it wasn't a secret that Gu Zheng and the others had come to the Blood Tide Forbidden Area today. No matter which branch of the Heavenly Conch Sect it was, if they wanted to bring outsiders to see the Blood Tide Forbidden Area at a close distance, even if it wasn't an exploration, they had to inform the other branches. This was the rule.
The people who came naturally asked what had happened, and Shangguan Feng answered all their questions. After all, this matter couldn't be concealed. The light patterns on Shangguan Xusheng's face had yet to disappear.
When Gu Zheng went to the beach, there were only a few people. When they returned to the Red Sky Conch Sect, there were more than a hundred people following behind them.
There were 50 people sitting in the main hall of the Red Sky Conch Sect. The few people involved in the Forbidden Area incident were all present. The higher-ups of the Red Sky Conch Sect were also present. As for the rest, they were naturally the higher-ups of the other Heavenly Conch Sects.
Now that they were gathered together, the various branches of the Heavenly Conch Sect had two purposes. One was to ask Gu Zheng and Miaomiao if they had found anything, and the other was to interrogate Shangguan Xusheng.
"Sect Leader Mu, you asked Sect Leader Gu and Miss Miaomiao to go to the beach of the Forbidden Area, but in the end, they boarded the ship and went to the center of the Immortal Array. Does this mean that they have used up the opportunity to explore the Blood Tide Forbidden Area? After all, Miss Miaomiao is a powerful Demonic Cultivator. Even if she doesn't go into the sea, she can still explore with her Spiritual Force, right? "
The one who spoke had a long beard and a very serious face. He was the Grand Elder of the Black Sky Spiral Sect, Leng Feng. Today, the sect leader of the Black Sky Spiral Sect, Rong Qiu, was not here, so he was the representative of the sect.
When Gu Zheng and Miaomiao went into the water, the other branches of the Heavenly Conch Sect didn't say anything. When Leng Feng spoke at this time, Gu Zheng naturally looked at him.
Without waiting for Gu Zheng to speak, Mu Chunfeng said unhappily, "Sect Leader Gu and the others naturally didn't use up the opportunity to explore the Blood Tide Forbidden Area. Although Miss Miaomiao has the ability to explore without going into the sea, that doesn't mean that she has already done so! Besides, the rules say that you can take people to explore, but they don't say that you can't take people into the sea, right? "
Leng Feng smiled noncommittally at Mu Chunfeng's words, then turned to Miaomiao beside Gu Zheng. "Miss Miaomiao, did you really not explore the Blood Tide Forbidden Area?"
"No."
Due to Gu Zheng's teachings, Miaomiao only responded coldly and didn't say much.
"Elder Leng, what exactly do you want to say with your doubts?"
Gu Zheng's voice was flat, but his eyes were fixed on Leng Feng without blinking. He didn't understand what the Black Conch Sect was up to. Logically speaking, after Rong Qiu's probing, the Black Conch Sect shouldn't have done such a thing again.
"I'm just questioning you to prevent the rules from being broken. I don't mean anything else."
Leng Feng smiled slightly, then looked at the other Heavenly Conch Sect representatives after avoiding Gu Zheng's gaze. "Since Miss Miaomiao didn't break the rules, this matter can be considered settled. But I'm curious, don't you have any doubts about something that might break the rules? "
Faced with Leng Feng's "questioning," the Heavenly Conch Sect representatives' reactions were the same as before, as if they hadn't heard him at all. They looked away, lowered their heads to drink tea, or frowned in deep thought. Instead, there was an imperceptible sneer in the eyes of You Shanhe of the Yellow Conch Sect.
"Alright! Since you're all turning a deaf ear, I don't think there's any need to follow the rules in the future. "
Leng Feng sat down hard in his chair with an angry expression.
"Elder Leng, you're the only one who follows the rules. Don't we know how to follow the rules? We're not stupid. We know Miss Miaomiao didn't break the rules, so we didn't ask. "
Xin Qingzhu, the leader of the Green Conch Sect, said in a mocking tone, then smiled at Gu Zheng in a friendly manner.
Since the incident in the courtyard, Gu Zheng had met Xin Qingzhu twice. Both times, Xin Qingzhu was very polite, as if he wanted to be on good terms with the Emei Sect. Although Gu Zheng didn't talk much with him, he was still polite to him on the surface.
"That's right, only you, Elder Leng, know how to follow the rules!"
"Elder Leng, you've worked hard!"
"Elder Leng, take a break when it's time. Don't tire yourself out!"
After Xin Qingzhu took the lead in mocking Leng Feng, the other branches of the Heavenly Conch Sect immediately followed suit. After all, Leng Feng's "questioning" made them lose face.
"Hmph."
Leng Feng snorted in the face of the mockery from the other sects. He closed his eyes and stopped talking.
"Alright, let's get down to business!"
After Mu Chunfeng spoke, the main hall fell silent.
"Leader Gu, did you find anything at the seaside or even at sea this time?"
Mu Chunfeng asked. This was the rule. No matter what Gu Zheng found, according to the agreement, he had to tell the various branches of the Heavenly Conch Sect.
Gu Zheng smiled and told her what happened at the seaside and even at sea. However, of course, he hid the parts that should be hidden. Therefore, his answer could be summed up in five words — nothing.
Mu Chunfeng nodded in agreement with Gu Zheng's answer. The other members of the Heavenly Conch Sect also didn't raise any objections.
Mu Chunfeng didn't say anything immediately. Instead, she looked at Gu Zheng awkwardly. Just as Gu Zheng frowned slightly and guessed what Mu Chunfeng meant by this, Leng Feng's sneering voice sounded.
"Leader Gu, don't you know that the interrogation of Shangguan Xusheng is about to begin? As an outsider, you don't have the right to listen in! "Leng Feng said happily.
"Bam!"
Shangguan Feng slapped her head hard and said apologetically, "Leader Gu, I'm so sorry. I was so angry at that bastard that I forgot about it because I was busy telling them what happened on the way!"
"It's okay."
Gu Zheng smiled at Shangguan Feng. He knew that even if Shangguan Feng was a hundred times more courageous, she wouldn't dare to make things difficult for him. Leng Feng, on the other hand, had finally made him laugh.
"Which eye of yours saw and which ear of yours heard that I didn't leave because I wanted to listen in? It's good to be confident, but it's annoying to be so full of yourself, Elder Leng! "
Gu Zheng's voice paused for a moment. Then, he looked at Mu Chunfeng and said, "Sect Master Mu, we were schemed against on your Blood Tide Island. I don't care who that person is. You must give me an explanation for this matter."
"Of course, of course!"
Mu Chunfeng hurriedly replied and then glared at Leng Feng. "Elder Leng, mind your status! Leader Gu is an important guest of the Red Conch Sect. Even if he doesn't leave, it's not up to you to chase him away, right? Shangguan Xusheng is still a member of the Red Conch Sect. We should share any secrets we get from him. However, the Red Conch Sect doesn't welcome you, Elder Leng Feng! The other members of the Black Conch Sect can stay and listen. As for you, Elder Leng Feng, you can leave now! "
"You …"
Leng Feng's face was filled with anger, but he only said one word.
"Good, very good!"
Leng Feng smiled coldly at Mu Chunfeng and left under the gazes of hundreds of people.
"Leader Gu, don't worry. We'll definitely give you an explanation for this!" Mu Chunfeng cupped his fist at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng returned the gesture and said, "Alright, I'm relieved to hear Sect Leader Mu's words. Goodbye!"
Gu Zheng left the main hall of the Red Conch Sect, and Leng Feng didn't go too far.
Whoosh …
Meow Meow, who understood Gu Zheng's intention, stopped Leng Feng before Gu Zheng could say anything.
"What's wrong? Miss Meow Meow wants to fight? Do you want to fight in the Red Conch Sect? "
Leng Feng smiled, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Heh."
Gu Zheng sneered.
Slap!
Meow Meow slapped Leng Feng's face like the wind.
Two of Leng Feng's teeth flew out of his mouth, and he was sent flying into a nearby tree.
Meow Meow's body swayed, and Leng Feng, who was about to get up, was kicked to the ground again. He opened his mouth to say something, but he could only make a muffled sound because Meow Meow's foot was on his neck.
"If we weren't here to visit the Red Conch Sect, you'd be a dead man by now based on your attitude today! Don't think that just because my master has a good temper, he doesn't have a temper at all! If you continue to be so shameless, I guarantee that you'll lose more than just your teeth! "Meow Meow said coldly.
"That's enough."
Gu Zheng smiled and stroked Meow Meow's hair. Only then did Meow Meow move her little foot away.
"Elder Leng, did the slap just now hurt? If it hurts, that's right. Pain will teach you a lesson! "
Leng Feng's eyes no longer had the arrogance from before, but there was a trace of fear.
Without waiting for Leng Feng to say anything, Gu Zheng left with Meow Meow. The disciples of the Red Conch Sect, who had stopped to watch Leng Feng get beaten up, saw Gu Zheng and Meow Meow looking at him, and immediately acted as if they hadn't seen anything.
"Meow Meow, well done. This guy deserves a beating!"
The Weapon Spirit's voice was heard, and there was a hint of satisfaction in it.
"We have to teach him a lesson. How dare he speak to the master like that!"
Meow Meow was still huffing and puffing. It wasn't until Gu Zheng pinched her soft cheeks that she finally smiled.
