The two-headed leopard came quickly and ran quickly as well. Moreover, it ran stealthily.
The guide who was crying on the ground in despair was also dumbfounded. He stared blankly in front of him. He didn't know what happened, but the demonic beast just left like that.
"Let's go!"
The demonic beast was scared away. Even though Brook couldn't hear Gu Zheng's voice transmission, he knew that it was Gu Zheng's doing. With their strength, it was too easy to scare away a demonic beast that was only at the fifth level of Internal Strength.
"Ah, go, yes, go, let's go!"
The guide hurriedly got up. Brook was right, they had to leave quickly. Who knew if the demonic beast had left first because it had something else to do? If it remembered them after it was done and came back to eat them, they would be in trouble.
They walked very slowly when they came, but on the way back, the guide walked very quickly. He was three to four times faster than when he came.
Not long after, they walked out of the danger zone. The guide was slightly relieved and slowed down, but it was still much faster than before. He brought the three of them out.
On the way back, they rested at a safe place. After about ten hours, they returned to the small town.
The guide said goodbye to Gu Zheng and went home in high spirits. To him, this trip into the mountains was a big fortune. He wanted to send the Chestnut Plant to Lyle City as soon as possible, get the gold coins, and move his family.
Gu Zheng and the other two also left. However, they flew. If it wasn't for the fact that they didn't want to expose themselves, they could have just flown away in the mountains. There was no need to waste time.
In fact, Gu Zheng also had a way to erase the guide's memory. However, this was hell, not earth. There were more powerful people here. To avoid any potential trouble, Gu Zheng didn't do so. They just went back to the town together. It wouldn't be too late to leave after saying goodbye to the guide.
Seven thousand miles east of Lyle City was the main city of another family. This family was slightly bigger than the Cassissil family. This family had three Jin Xian and more than two hundred cultivators.
At the same time, this family was also one of the four great families in the kingdom. This family's main city had more than eight million people. It was definitely a big city.
Before Gu Zheng and the other two arrived at the city, they descended from the sky and hired a carriage to hasten their journey.
Fiendcelestials often flew out of this city, and there were also fiendcelestials from other cities flying in. It was easy for them to be discovered when they were flying in the air, so they might as well come down. After all, they didn't lack time.
Hell's food was not good, but their craftsmanship was not bad. For example, the carriage that Gu Zheng and the others hired was very well-made. It was very exquisite and comfortable to sit on.
Hell's horses were the same as Earth's horses, but they were much faster. They were about two to three times faster than Earth's horses. The roads here were also well built. The carriage ran quickly on the road without any bumps.
There was a lot of space in the carriage, and there was also a young man inside. Gu Zheng took out some good wine and some fresh fruits that he had collected in Mount Ali. These fruits were all Normal grade and tasted quite good.
After running like this for two days, the three of them arrived at this big city.
The walls of this big city were very long. They couldn't see the end at a glance. The wide city gate was guarded by specialized cultivators. These were only ordinary cultivators. Their strength had not reached the Immortal Cultivator Realm.
After all, Immortal Cultivators were considered to be stronger in Hell. It was unrealistic to let Immortal Cultivators guard the city gate.
This city was called Wangzhou City. It was the territory of the Wang Family. When Gu Zheng first heard this name, he suspected that this family was yellow like him. After entering the city, there were indeed many yellow people here. Almost half of them were yellow.
There were a few famous inns in the city. Brook chose one at random and asked for a room of the highest quality, one for each of them. They settled down first.
"You, you!"
When they were checking in, a person walked out. When he saw Brook, he was stunned and pointed at him.
Brook turned around and was also stunned when he saw him.
"Barbatos!"
Brook was also very surprised. He never thought that he would meet someone he knew in this huge Hell.
"Brook, it's really you. Why are you here?"
The person who walked over was wearing a hat and a shawl. He looked like a westerner and looked at Brook in shock.
"Let's talk in my room!"
Brook grabbed him. The man called Barbatos nodded slightly and didn't say anything. He was pulled into the room by Brook just like that.
"Let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Gu Zheng. This is one of my butlers, Berlusconi!"
After entering the room, Brook first introduced Gu Zheng and Barbatos to Barbatos. Then, he said to Gu Zheng, "Barbatos is a good friend of mine that I met three thousand years ago. He was also one of the 72 Demon Gods that helped Solomon back then!"
Barbatos was ranked eighth among the 70 Demon Gods. He was skilled in archery and had the ability to communicate with animals. When he was on Earth, he was a great general of the 72 Demon Gods. His strength was at the Soul Formation Realm back then. Now, he was at the mid-stage Void Return Realm.
According to Western cultivators, he was at the mid-stage of a third-level Dominator.
In terms of realm, he was slightly stronger than Gu Zheng.
"Let's not talk about this first. Why are you here? How did you get here?"
Barbatos said quickly. He was very clear about Brook's identity. He also knew that Brook was an Earthling. After Earthlings cultivated successfully, even if they could come to the Nine Upper Realms, they wouldn't go to Hell.
The Upper Realms where Earth's cultivators ascended didn't have the option of Hell. He was very clear about this.
"Actually, I didn't want to come at all. It was an accident!"
Brook smiled bitterly and explained how he and Gu Zheng got here. They were sent here by the teleportation formation by accident. His initial destination wasn't here at all. As for Gu Zheng, he was also sent here by accident.
"If that's the case, why didn't you use the magic formation that sent you here to return to Earth?"
Barbatos asked again. Brook shook his head gently. "We were sent here by accident. The place where we were sent here didn't have a magic formation at all. I tried it before, but it wasn't a connection point. It meant that we were sent here randomly. So, we couldn't go back at all!"
"I see. No wonder when we came back from Earth back then, we realized that there was nothing after we came back!"
Barbatos was enlightened. He had used that teleportation formation before. Back then, he and his companions went back and forth through that teleportation formation. However, they never went back to Earth after they came back.
"Brook, you were very strong back then. Have you broken through now? I can't see through you anymore!"
Barbatos asked again. This time, Brook didn't deny it. He nodded and admitted it.
"Congratulations!" Babatos congratulated Brook with an envious look.
"How are Barr and the others?"
Brook smiled. Barr was also one of the 72 Demon Gods. Moreover, he was the boss of the 72 Demon Gods. Back then, he had the strength of a late-stage Void Return cultivator and was the strongest among the 72 Demon Gods.
"Boss forcefully broke through his realm. He was no longer around fifteen hundred years ago!"
Barbatos was a little sad. Barr's lifespan was about to run out, so he forcefully broke through. In the end, he failed and suffered from qi deviation. In the end, he died.
"It's a pity. Barr's talent was actually very good. If he wasn't so competitive, he could have broken through!"
Brook sighed softly. He had a good relationship with Barr back then. Speaking of which, he and Barr got to know each other through fighting. Solomon's expansion must have affected a lot. When they didn't know each other, they fought once. Neither of them could do anything to the other. In the end, they stopped fighting when they found out that Brook was neither from the Luminous Church nor the Dark Association.
After that, they got to know each other first. After that, Brook got to know the other Demon Gods.
Back then, the 72 Demon Gods didn't stay on Earth for long. It was only a few decades. Therefore, although the 72 Demon Gods were very strong, they didn't cause much harm.
However, at that time, the Radiant Church and the Dark Association were not weak either. With just the seventy-two of them, they were not a match for either of the two major powers. Thus, Solomon had focused on developing his forces in the surrounding areas, avoiding direct confrontation with the two major powers as much as possible.
On Earth, none of the seventy-two Demon Gods had perished. However, after returning, due to their lifespans and other reasons, more than ten of them were no longer around. None of the remaining ones had broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm.
Now that he saw that Brook had broken through, Barbatos was actually very happy.
"Barbatos, I need your help!"
After reminiscing for a while, Brook suddenly said something. Barbatos was slightly stunned and immediately understood what Brook meant.
"You want me to help you go back?"
Brook was now much stronger than him, but he said that he needed his help. There was no need to guess why. Brook wanted to go back, but this was Hell. He didn't know anyone else in Hell, so he could only rely on him, an old acquaintance.
"That's right. I need to find a connection point to Earth or the Demonic Realm to make it easier for me to go back!"
Brook nodded heavily. Whether he went back to the Demonic Realm or Earth, it was the same as going back. It was better to go back to the Demonic Realm. He didn't have to go back from Earth. When the time came, if Gu Zheng wanted to go back, he naturally had a way to send Gu Zheng back.
"Brook, why do you have to go back? Actually, it's not bad here. With your current strength, if you join our family, you will definitely receive excellent treatment. It definitely won't be inferior to the Overlord of the Demonic Realm!"
Barbatos looked at Brook and said slowly. Gu Zheng frowned. In fact, he was a little worried when Brook met someone he knew. Now, his worry had become a reality. Because of Brook's strength, Barbatos wanted to rope him in.
"No, thank you, Barbatos. You know my character. I want to go back!"
Brook shook his head gently. Barbatos sighed. "I knew it. I definitely can't persuade you, but I still want to try!"
In Hell, the number of Immortal Cultivators wasn't small. Every family had them. The number of Jin Xian was relatively small. Only the bigger families had them. The super families had more Jin Xian.
No matter which family it was, a Jin Xian would be roped in. Brook had already reached the strength of a Jin Xian. Therefore, Barbatos wanted to rope him in. If Brook agreed, not only would he have made a contribution, but his future would also be better.
Having a Jin Xian behind him and having nothing behind him were definitely two different things.
Back then, why were they invited to Earth by Solomon? Wasn't it because their days here were very ordinary? The seventy-two demon gods weren't together in the beginning. They were coincidentally invited by Solomon. After that, they established a relationship on Earth. After they returned, these feelings remained.
Although they had a lot of people, they didn't really have powerful strength. After they returned, there wasn't much difference from before.
"Okay, I agree to help you!"
Looking at Brook, Barbatos finally nodded gently. Brook heaved a sigh of relief and said happily, "I knew it. You're my good brother. You'll definitely help me!"
With Barbatos' help, the speed of gathering information was faster and more accurate.
In the next few days, Barbatos had indeed been helping Brook to gather information. It wasn't suitable for Brook and Gu Zheng to reveal their strength, but Barbatos could. After all, he was a powerful Demonic God. The information he wanted would be given to him by ordinary people.
Barbatos wasn't from the Wang Family. He was just passing by and happened to meet Brook. This made Brook sigh. It was indeed fate that they could meet in such a big Demonic Realm.
"Based on the information from these few days, there are currently three places that can be confirmed as suspicious!"
Seven days later, in Brook's room, Gu Zheng, the butler, and Barbatos were all present. Brook took out a map and pointed at it as he spoke.
This time, there were three suspicious places. It was much better than the previous time when there was only one. Although they went to many places last time, there was only one place, which was Mount Ali. This time, there were three places similar to Mount Ali.
With a place to search, the few of them didn't delay and set off immediately.
This time, they didn't look for a guide. With Barbatos around, it was indeed much more convenient. Barbatos flew them over and acted as their guide. Not only was it much faster, but it also reduced a lot of trouble.
"No!"
"Wrong!"
"Not here either!"
The first place was quickly searched, but the result was still disappointing. A day later, the four of them went to the second place and were disappointed again. The third place was still wrong.
After searching the three places, it was equivalent to searching the vicinity of Wangzhou City. If there wasn't anything here, they could only go to the next place.
"Brook, the connection points aren't something that can be found in a day or two. Why don't you go to my house first? I'll call my brothers over and we can gather together!"
Seeing that Brook was a little disappointed, Barbatos added. As soon as he finished speaking, Brook hurriedly shook his head. "No, Barbatos. I understand your good intentions, but you can't do that. If you make such a big fuss, it will be equivalent to telling others that my identity is different. Once it attracts the attention of people with ulterior motives, it will be troublesome for me!"
"Alright then. Since you want to find the connection points and don't have a fixed destination, why don't I bring you guys to search one place at a time? At the same time, you can visit your former brothers!"
Barbatos shrugged his shoulders regretfully. In fact, he suggested this idea with the intention of exposing Brook. He valued Brook so much that others would definitely be suspicious. As long as they were suspicious, Brook's identity would be exposed. Unfortunately, the smart Brook noticed this and rejected it directly.
