"My Lord, it's up to you now!"
Luzern said respectfully to the Ruler of Darkness. The Ruler of Darkness nodded and took out his staff.
This was a Dark Magician. Dark Magicians were the most common among Dark Magicians, and Rulers of Darkness were also the most common among Dark Magicians. The Ruler of Darkness held his staff as he chanted an incantation. Waves of energy appeared on his staff.
"Restore!"
The Dark Dominator suddenly shouted, and a round mirror-like object appeared in front of him, displaying the scene in front of them.
The scene quickly changed. Soon, Jack and the other two appeared in the mirror. However, they entered the scene backwards, carrying the Jobb brothers' bodies.
They quickly put down the bodies and searched the hall.
Gu Zheng's heart trembled slightly. This magic could actually show what had happened here. No wonder the Ruler of Darkness called for it to be restored.
Although the West's cultivation system was different from that of the East, it still had its merits.
After the scene appeared, the Dark Magicians understood that Jack and the other two weren't lying. The Jobb brothers had indeed been killed here. They had taken advantage of the situation and taken the bodies away to receive a reward.
The scene was like a fast-forwarded shot. The three disappeared again, leaving only the Jobb brothers' bodies lying there.
All the Hei Nan cultivators stared at the mirror. They all knew that the murderer of the Jobb brothers would appear soon, and they would know the truth of their deaths.
"Bang!"
The mirror suddenly shattered, and the Dark Dominator let out a muffled groan. His body continuously retreated, and finally, he sat on the ground.
"My Lord, what happened to you?"
Luzern hurried forward and supported the Ruler of Darkness. The Ruler of Darkness smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I'm fine. It's just a magic backlash!"
"Magic backlash?"
Many Dark Magicians looked at each other in dismay. Magic backlash was an extremely terrifying thing. If it was light, one would be injured. If it was heavy, one would be consigned to eternal damnation. It was just like how Huaxia's cultivators went berserk. However, it was slightly less severe. Moreover, under normal circumstances, Western Magicians wouldn't experience magic backlash. It was only possible when they forcefully cultivated magic that they hadn't mastered.
"I won't be able to use magic for the time being. Let's leave first!"
The Ruler of Darkness was also quite depressed. He didn't understand why magic backlash suddenly occurred. It didn't make sense, but since it had already happened, he had no choice but to leave first.
However, the consequences of the magic backlash this time were not serious. He was only injured and temporarily unable to use magic. His body was fine, which was a blessing in disguise.
"My Lord, what about these three people?"
Luzern asked the Darkness Dominator. Although the Darkness Dominator had suffered from magic backlash, he still had the strength of a ruler and had the highest status among them.
"Kill them!"
The Dark Ruler raised his hand, and Jack and the other two trembled slightly. Although they had expected this outcome, they couldn't help but feel a little afraid when they heard this.
This was also a normal reaction. In fact, as bounty hunters, they had long known that such a day would come. They were mentally prepared, but they did not expect that it would still be so hard to accept when the day came.
........
. "Gu Zheng muttered to himself. He originally didn't want to get involved in this matter. But since this matter was related to him, he couldn't help but think about it.
Not to mention, three Dark Magicians had already died on his side. This meant that he had a grudge with the Dark Association. The enemy of an enemy was a friend. If he saved these three people, he could at least learn more about the western cultivation world.
Gu Zheng concealed his appearance and quickly flew into the cave.
"Who is it?!"
This time, Gu Zheng didn't hide himself. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he was discovered by the Dark Dominator. The Dark Dominator only shouted, and the Dark Dominator who was watching over Jack and the other two felt his vision blur.
"My Lord!"
Luzern hurriedly stepped forward. The Ruler of Darkness's expression was ugly, and he was still afraid. He hadn't been able to see the other party's movements clearly. It was obvious that the other party wasn't weaker than him.
Normally, he would be fine. However, he had just suffered a Magic Backlash. He couldn't display even 30% of his usual strength. If the other party really made a move against them, they would be doomed. Although they had the advantage in numbers, the ordinary Dark Magicians were nothing more than food. They couldn't pose any threat to the other party.
"I don't know who it is. Leave immediately!"
The Ruler of Darkness said gloomily. The group quickly left. As they left, they rejoiced that the mysterious expert hadn't made a move against them. Otherwise, they would've died here, just like the Gibb brothers.
Jack and the other two Dark Magicians felt their vision blur. When they opened their eyes, they discovered that they were in the air. A person was carrying them.
Flying meant that this person was at least a Radiant Angel. As for the Ruler of Darkness, they didn't even think about it. The Ruler of Darkness wouldn't save them. Not to mention, they were already worthless.
Not long after, Gu Zheng landed on the ground and put the three Dark Magicians down. At this moment, Gu Zheng still had the face of an Asian, but he had changed his appearance.
"T-Thank you for saving our lives, sir!"
After landing, the ropes binding the three Dark Magicians loosened. Jack hurriedly stood up and bowed to Gu Zheng.
"No need to thank me. You and I are fated to meet. Do you know who I am?"
Gu Zheng said slowly as he looked at Jack and the other two Dark Magicians. His appearance was somewhat similar to Mao Zedong's, but he was much younger.
Seeing Jack and the other two Dark Magicians shake their heads, Gu Zheng smiled and continued, "You took away the people I killed and brought them to this place. Do you still not know who I am?"
When Gu Zheng said this, the three Dark Magicians were stunned. However, they quickly nodded.
It turned out that this Asian was one of the three Dark Magicians. That day, Jack and the other two Dark Magicians were too far away and only saw three figures leave. They didn't see their faces clearly at all. When Gu Zheng said this, they naturally believed that Gu Zheng was one of the three Dark Magicians.
Gu Zheng was indeed one of the three Dark Magicians, but at that time, he didn't have the ability to kill the Gibb brothers. However, what he said wasn't wrong.
"I've been living in seclusion for many years and haven't asked about the outside world. Tell me, what's the situation outside, especially the situation between the Radiant Magicians and the Dark Magicians?"
Gu Zheng said calmly. Hearing this, the three Dark Magicians didn't doubt him. Although Gu Zheng had the face of an Asian, they knew that the East also had powerful cultivators.
In the East, such cultivators were called Immortal Cultivators. Like their Radiant Angels, they had a long lifespan and the power to fly.
"Yes, sir!"
Jack immediately nodded, looking very respectful. To him, at least his life was saved. Only by saving his life could he have the foundation of everything.
Jack spoke slowly, and the two Dark Magicians beside him added on from time to time. This allowed Gu Zheng to have a deeper understanding of the two Dark Magicians in Europe.
The two Dark Magicians and the Dark Magicians had both existed during the Flourishing Magicians Era. At that time, it was equivalent to China's Mythological Era. Many outstanding talents had appeared from both sides. Of course, they had also fought against each other.
During the Age of Chaos, cultivation had become very difficult. The Light Magicians and the Dark Magicians had fought less, but the fighting had never stopped. However, there were very few real wars. Only a thousand years ago had a great war, and it had lasted for a very long time, more than 200 years.
That war had ended with the defeat of the Dark Magicians. However, the Light Magicians had suffered great losses and were unable to fight again. They had been recuperating until now.
This was the same as what Brown had said. It seemed that Brown hadn't lied to him.
"Do you know where the Dark Magicians' headquarters are now?"
Gu Zheng suddenly asked. Jack and the other two opened their eyes wide and looked at Gu Zheng in disbelief.
"Sir, I don't know. But the former Dark Magicians' headquarters seemed to be in a castle near London. That castle is now in the possession of ordinary people."
After Jack finished speaking, he hurriedly said, "Sir, there are too many experts in the Dark Magicians' headquarters. Moreover, they have many top magic tools. You can't go there. It's too dangerous."
This time, it was Gu Zheng's turn to be stunned. Then, he smiled.
The reason why he had asked about the past and present Dark Magicians' headquarters was because he didn't want Jack to think that he was only inquiring about the past. He didn't want to know the location of the Dark Magicians' headquarters. It was purely Jack's misunderstanding.
However, Gu Zheng didn't explain. He only knew that what Brown had said was correct.
After the war between the Dark Magicians and the Light Magicians, both sides were recuperating. There hadn't been any major war in the past eight hundred years. However, there were still small conflicts. There were also battles between Angels and Dominators. However, very few Angels or Dominators died because there weren't many of them left.
It was precisely because of this that the Dark Association had paid so much attention to the deaths of the Gibb brothers. They had sent people to investigate, and not just the Dark Association, but even the Radiant Church had sent people. Only, Jack and his brothers had escaped too quickly, and they hadn't been able to find them.
The current situation was that both sides were constantly having small conflicts. Especially the lower level cultivators, there were a lot of killings. However, the upper level cultivators were very restrained. Both sides didn't have any plans to go to war for the time being.
"I understand. You can go now. Don't come to this place again."
After knowing what he wanted to know, Gu Zheng waved his hand. He had already confirmed a few things from the three. First, the most important thing was that Brown hadn't lied to him. The castle he had given him was indeed the former Dark Magicians' headquarters. There was indeed a big secret there.
Second, although the Western Magicians had fought a great war before, they had been recuperating for nearly a thousand years. Their overall strength wasn't weak. If he didn't have to provoke them, it was best not to go there.
With these two things, he could make better plans for the future.
Gu Zheng would definitely investigate the castle's secret. It wouldn't be in line with his character if he didn't. However, now wasn't the time. He had to make sufficient preparations before investigating. After all, the two major forces were watching from the sidelines. If there was any movement, they would inevitably be alarmed.
Magic arrays and outsiders. It was hard to say if there was no movement.
However, Gu Zheng didn't plan to call Sora Aoi and the others to come with him. After all, this was the Western Magicians' territory. Even if Gu Zheng couldn't beat them, running away wasn't a problem. Sora Aoi and the others couldn't, so he didn't want them to take the risk.
"Your Excellency, can we follow you?"
Jack hesitated. He looked at the two people beside him and suddenly said to Gu Zheng.
"Follow me?"
Gu Zheng looked at him in surprise. Jack's request was completely out of Gu Zheng's expectations.
"Yes, Your Excellency. We can become your servants and serve you!"
Jack quickly said. Becoming a Radiant Angel's servant wasn't a shame, but a pride. Although Gu Zheng wasn't a Radiant Angel, he had the same strength.
The place where they lived in seclusion was gone. They were worried that the Dark Magicians would find them again. Once they were caught by the Dark Magicians, they wouldn't be so lucky. Gu Zheng was strong. When they were weak, hiding by Gu Zheng's side would only be beneficial to them.
"No, you can't follow me, but I can guide you to a place!"
Gu Zheng suddenly shook his head. It was impossible to take them with him. However, the three people's proposal gave Gu Zheng a bold idea. If he sent the three people into the castle and the three of them appeared in the castle, it would definitely break the balance there. He could test the reaction of the Light Magicians and the Dark Magicians.
"Where do you want us to go?"
The three people were at a loss. Gu Zheng told them the address of his castle and told them that it would be safe there. After that, he flew away.
"Brother Jack, what should we do?"
After Gu Zheng flew away, the three people stood there in a daze. Jack hesitated for a while before he gritted his teeth and said, "Do as Your Excellency said. Since Your Excellency has guaranteed that it will be safe there, we will go there first!"
The three people didn't have a better choice now. They had exchanged a lot of cultivation resources. These resources were hidden in different places. However, after this incident, the three of them didn't dare to take these resources or hide them. The three of them were a little scared.
They had hidden so deeply that they were found. Who knew if they would be found again?
It wasn't only the Dark Magicians who were looking for them. The Light Magicians were also looking for them. Moreover, if they were found by these people, they wouldn't have a good ending. These people were after their cultivation resources. They were afraid that when the time came, they would be squeezed dry. After that, it would be their time of death.
No force was balanced internally. Just like China, the righteous sects would compete and kill each other. This was very normal.
Gu Zheng told them about a castle. The three people couldn't fly, so they quickly went down the mountain and found a car. They drove towards the place that Gu Zheng told them about. At this time, Gu Zheng had already arrived in London and continued his tour.
Gu Zheng had eaten a lot of London's delicacies during this time. Moreover, Gu Zheng also wrote two manuscripts and sent them to Mumu. Mumu would arrange time for them to be published.
Gu Zheng's manuscripts would definitely make the headlines. If the two manuscripts were done well, it would bring a lot of traffic. Both Mumu and Chief Wu were very confident about this. After all, Gu Zheng's position in China's food industry was still there. In the past three years, it didn't decrease because of time.
