The purpose of these three people was to probe. Gu Zheng didn't even think about it and refused.
If he let them meet, they would have already asked everything. How could they continue probing? At the very least, their probing would be much less effective. Since the steward asked him, he would definitely refuse. Not only that, he even had the steward drive them away.
Gu Zheng told the steward that the three people were friends of his friend, and that no one was to disturb them.
After hanging up, the steward was somewhat puzzled, but he still shook his head. He had already made himself very clear. Gu Zheng had acted as if he didn't know about the Radiant Church. He had directly asked these people to leave.
"Sorry, Mr. Gu doesn't want you to disturb his friend's friend. Please leave!"
The steward returned and passed on Gu Zheng's words. Arthur frowned and looked at the main hall of the castle. Finally, he coldly snorted and left.
Leaving the castle didn't mean leaving the place. Arthur had returned to the place where he was being monitored.
Seeing Arthur's gloomy expression, no one dared to step forward to speak. However, Arthur's gloomy expression soon turned serious. The Dark Association's people had come. Three Rulers had come this time. He had already sensed it.
It wasn't like this had never happened before. If an ignorant cultivator entered the castle by mistake, it would usually be the surveillance personnel who would send people to inquire and then drive them away. This time, if the three people hadn't taken out the corpses of the Jojo brothers, the Radiant Church wouldn't have sent him. He hadn't expected the Dark Association to be even more powerful and send three Sovereigns.
"Sir, could it be that these three people had taken the Jojo brothers' corpses as a reward? That's why the Dark Association is paying so much attention to them?"
A Radiant Warrior following Arthur whispered. When Arthur discovered the three Sovereigns, he had already reported it to the Radiant Church. The people around him also knew.
"Impossible!"
Arthur shook his head. Although the three people had taken out the Jojo brothers' corpses, everyone knew that they couldn't have killed them. The Jojo brothers definitely hadn't died at their hands.
If that was the case, then one Sovereign was enough. Sending three at once felt like making a big fuss over a minor issue.
"Could it be that they have some concerns, so they sent so many people?"
This time, Arthur didn't say anything. After a while, he slowly nodded. This explanation was possible. After all, the three of them had taken out the corpses of the Jobb brothers. Anyone who could kill the Jobb brothers would definitely be an extremely powerful expert.
In that case, it was reasonable for the other party to send three people.
Arthur's guess was already close to the truth. However, they thought that there might be someone else behind Jack and his brothers. They didn't expect that the Dark Association had already captured Jack and his brothers before they were rescued by Gu Zheng.
"Let's wait and see what happens!"
In the end, Arthur made a decision. Although the Light Faction and the Dark Faction were absolute enemies, and they usually fought and killed each other, this ancient castle was an accident. This was a mutual agreement between both sides. Neither side was allowed to make a move here.
This was an agreement between the upper echelons of both sides. Everyone had been abiding by it, so Arthur wasn't worried.
The Dark Association sent three Sovereigns and eight ordinary cultivators, making a total of eleven people. Just like Arthur, they knocked on the door, wanting to see Jack and the others.
The housekeeper reported again, but Gu Zheng refused once more.
Both sides temporarily returned to the monitoring area. The Dark Association's side was also discussing the situation.
"Mister Housekeeper!"
Jack and his brothers were talking in the room when someone suddenly came in. The three of them stood up when they saw who it was. Jack greeted him.
The person who came was the housekeeper. Now that they were lodging here, they had to be polite.
"Just now, people from the Light Faction and the Dark Faction came. One Angel and three Sovereigns wanted to see you, but they were all refused by Mister Gu!"
The housekeeper said indifferently. He had come to inform Jack and his brothers about the situation. At the same time, he wanted to inquire about the relationship between the three of them and Gu Zheng. He also wanted to know why Gu Zheng had taken them in.
"One Angel and three Sovereigns!"
The three of them were stunned. But soon, they felt a little excited. One Angel and three Sovereigns. How powerful was that? They were actually stopped by the master of this place. This meant that the master of this place was an even more powerful figure.
That way, they would be safer here.
Being able to stop an Angel and a Sovereign was enough to put them at ease. They knew that with their status, they could at most attract people of this level. It was impossible for them to attract the attention of the higher-ups of the Light Faction and the Dark Association. They were not qualified.
Since the master of this place could stop an Angel and a Sovereign, it meant that they were safe. Absolutely safe.
"Many thanks, Mister Housekeeper. Many thanks, Mister Gu!" Jack bowed to the housekeeper to express his gratitude.
"You are friends of Mister Gu's friend. Who is Mister Gu's friend?"
"Mister Gu's friend is a true powerhouse!"
Jack didn't suspect the housekeeper. He thought that he was just asking out of concern, so he immediately answered.
He didn't say that this person had saved the three of them. He only said that this person was an Easterner who was extremely powerful. His strength was not inferior to that of a four-winged Angel. He might even be comparable to a six-winged Angel.
There were three levels of Angels. They were differentiated by the number of wings they could manifest. Two-winged Angels were equivalent to the Qi Transformation Stage, four-winged Angels were equivalent to the Soul Formation Stage, and six-winged Angels were equivalent to the Return to Void Stage.
After hearing Jack's words, the housekeeper's brows furrowed once more.
He had observed Gu Zheng before and even tested him. Gu Zheng was just an ordinary person, but how could such an ordinary person know such a powerful expert? Or perhaps Gu Zheng himself was a spokesperson thrown out by this person, and was only here to occupy the ancient castle.
This wasn't impossible. After hesitating for a long time, the housekeeper finally went to his room and opened a box.
There was a magic formation carved into the box. He knelt in front of the magic formation and began to chant an incantation. Soon, the magic formation lit up, emitting a blue light.
Facing the light, the housekeeper explained the situation here, as well as his own guesses. After Lan Guan disappeared, he sighed and stood up again.
This was a magic circle that Mr. Brooke had left for him. Mr. Brooke was a true powerhouse. When he took over as the steward, Mr. Brooke had told him to only use this magic circle to inform him if he needed to report something.
When Brown transferred the ancient castle to Gu Zheng, he didn't report it. When Gu Zheng asked about Solomon, he also didn't report it. Now that there were three light cultivators living in the castle, as well as the arrival of the Radiant Church and the Dark Association, he couldn't help but report everything.
There was no response from the magic formation. The housekeeper shook his head and stood up, closing the box with the magic formation.
Mr. Brooke had told him that if he reported something that could attract his attention, he would give him a response. If there was no response, then it meant that the matter wasn't important enough for Mr. Brooke to pay attention to it.
The housekeeper's name was York. His father and grandfather were both housekeepers of this castle. Moreover, their family had always been the sole heir, guarding the ancient castle.
His son was currently studying in school, studying housekeeping. When he came back, he would take over his father's position and continue to be the housekeeper. It could be said that the entire York family had contributed themselves to this ancient castle. There was no doubt about their feelings towards it.
Moreover, no matter which housekeeper it was, they would be able to cultivate a special kind of power. This kind of power could only allow them to cultivate up to the second layer of Internal Strength. Perhaps this was their destiny.
Every time a new housekeeper took over, Mr. Brooke would appear and tell them something. As long as they followed Mr. Brooke's instructions, they would be fine.
Now that Mr. Brook didn't respond to the housekeeper's report, he could only continue to wait. At this time, he especially missed the days when the Brown family was the owner of the castle. Those days were always very peaceful, unlike now, which made him very worried.
Mr. Brooke had also told him that if the ancient castle was sold by the Brown family, no matter who took over the castle, they would be the owner of the castle. He would continue to assist them, unless that person was a light or dark cultivator. If that person was, then Mr. Brooke would appear. If not, then he wouldn't care.
The housekeeper had tested Gu Zheng and found that Gu Zheng was just an ordinary person. Moreover, he was a Chinese. Therefore, after Gu Zheng took over the castle, the housekeeper could do nothing but remind and threaten him.
In fact, there was another point. Even if Gu Zheng was a cultivator, as long as he wasn't a light or dark cultivator, the housekeeper couldn't do anything. Mr. Brooke's request was that the ancient castle couldn't be sold to either of the two forces.
"Amazing!"
"That's right, I finally feel safe!"
"Who is the owner of this castle? Who is the person who saved us? He can actually resist the forces of light and dark!"
In Jack's room, the three of them were still discussing. Jack was surprised, while the other two were surprised. They finally felt safe.
Without outside disturbances, and with enough resources, they could peacefully cultivate here. They could go out when they succeeded.
Among the three of them, as long as one of them could reach the realm of Radiant Angel, then they could walk out of here openly. In the future, they wouldn't have to worry about being harmed by others. At that time, they would be completely free.
"Brother Jack, no matter who it is, we are safe. You have to cultivate quickly and become a Radiant Angel as soon as possible!"
The two younger ones excitedly said to Jack. Among the three of them, Jack's cultivation was the highest, and his comprehension was also the highest. If someone could cultivate to the realm of Radiant Angel, then Jack would definitely be the first.
"That's right. When that day comes, there will be no more problems!"
Jack nodded with a smile on his face.
After reaching the realm of Radiant Angel, they would have the ability to protect themselves. The most important thing was that no one would come to snatch their cultivation resources. Offending a Radiant Angel was a very serious mistake, just like offending immortal cultivators in China.
As for the Dark Association, because they already knew the cause of the death of the Gibbs brothers, they wouldn't continue to pester them. After all, they didn't kill the Gibbs brothers. They just happened to pick up their corpses.
Moreover, they had Radiant Angels among them. If the Dark Association wanted to deal with them, they would have to send out many rulers. The Radiant Church would protect every Radiant Angel and wouldn't let them die. With the Radiant Church's protection, there wouldn't be any problems.
The three of them seemed to be able to see a beautiful tomorrow.
At the same time, in the famous Milan city of Italy, Gu Zheng was in the highest floor of a hotel, talking on the phone.
"Sect Leader, I've already found some of the things you asked me to find for you!"
The phone call was from Sora Aoi. Gu Zheng had contacted him two days ago and asked him to help him investigate the matter of Solomon in the West three thousand years ago.
Three thousand years ago, it was the time when the Age of Chaos and the Age of Chaos converged. At that time, Sora Aoi was already an immortal cultivator. Although he wasn't in the West, at least he had experienced that era. That was why Gu Zheng wanted to ask him for help.
"At that time, the immortal cultivators in China weren't interested in foreign forces. I contacted two old friends. They didn't know about Solomon, but one of them had a letter from a friend in the West. He found that letter. It might be helpful to you!"
Sora Aoi said quickly. Although he had little contact with the East and West in the past, it didn't mean that he didn't contact them. After all, they all lived on the same planet.
Gu Zheng's luck was pretty good. Among the few old friends that * * * knew, there really was someone who mentioned Solomon.
"Demon God Clan?"
Gu Zheng frowned slightly. Sora Aoi's friend had mentioned Solomon in the letter. Solomon wasn't a powerful cultivator, but he had invited a group of members of the Demon God Clan to help him. In the end, they had helped him conquer a huge empire.
"Artifact Spirit, what's going on with the Demon God Clan?"
Gu Zheng quickly asked in his heart. The Demon God Clan was actually related to Solomon. However, the Demon God Clan was also an alien race. The Artifact Spirit wasn't wrong.
"I'm not too sure about the Demon God Race, but I think I've heard Lord Gluttonous Immortal mention it once. The Demon God Race is a small race, a race that lives in the cracks. Wait a moment, I'll check it out!"
The Artifact Spirit gave Gu Zheng an answer. The Artifact Spirit wasn't omnipotent, but it had a lot of information stored in its stomach. As long as it looked it up, it would know.
"Found it!"
Not long after, the Artifact Spirit called out and said quickly.
"The Demon God Clan is actually a descendant of the Wu people. After the Wu people were defeated, they split into several parts. The Demon God Clan is an impure Wu people. Their strength is far inferior to the Wu people!"
The Artifact Spirit said quickly. It was no wonder that the Demon God Clan was similar to the Wu people. Many of them had strange shapes, such as a human head with a snake's body, or a few heads and a few legs. Many of the Wu people were like this.
However, at least some of the Wu people looked like real humans. The Demon God Clan could only transform. Their bloodline wasn't pure, so they were like this.
"The Demon God Clan lives in the cracks. They can't enter the Untainted Land and can only live in other places. It seems like they went to hell. The environment there is very bad, so many of the Demon God Clan will think of ways to come out and find resources. I guess Solomon used some methods to bring these people out!"
The Artifact Spirit concluded. This was their guess. As for the real situation, they could only verify it with the people who participated in the past.
