Both of them were weaker than the owl to begin with. Coupled with the fact that the owl had spatial abilities, it did not take long for them to be at a disadvantage.
Brook sighed again. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If he had not noticed the spatial ripple, he would not have been so disappointed. It was because he thought that they had found the right place. Brook even believed that this was the right place and that they could go back. But in the end, they had been played a joke on.
It was like a person buying a lottery ticket. It was fine if he did not win. But when he suddenly found out that he had won five million, he would be overjoyed. But when he went to redeem his prize, he realized that his ticket was from the previous season and not this one. He had made a mistake. The result would drive him crazy.
"Let me do it!"
Seeing that Brook was about to make a move, Gu Zheng suddenly shook his head. This beast was powerful. But it was only at the Void Return Realm. Even if it was at the peak of the Void Return Realm, it was still far from Jin Xian's realm.
That was why Babatos and Liu Bingqian did not panic even though they were no match for the beast. They knew that Brook would not just stand by and watch. With Brook, the Jin Xian, there was no way the beast could run away.
"You?"
Brook was slightly surprised. He already knew about Gu Zheng's realm. According to the Chinese, Gu Zheng was at the Void Return Realm, the same as a Level Three Dominator. But he was only at the early stage. In other words, he had just reached Level Three Dominator.
He was even weaker than Babatos and Liu Bingqian. This time, when they were together, Brook had never seen Gu Zheng fight. So, he did not know about his true strength.
Gu Zheng nodded again. This time, he did not say anything. He only extended his hand and a blade appeared in his hand. It was a black blade.
Facing the cat-headed Demonic Beast that was still fighting with the two people, Gu Zheng suddenly slashed down with his saber.
"Roar ~"
The cat-headed Demonic Beast suddenly let out a roar like a fierce tiger. A strong sense of crisis made its hair stand on end, and its body suddenly disappeared.
When it was fighting with the two Asmodians, it did not disappear like this.
This was one of its innate abilities. It could use space to hide and dodge, but it hadn't used it in the previous battle. Firstly, Babatos and the others didn't have the strength to force it to do so. Secondly, the space here was already unstable. If it used this ability rashly, it would be dangerous for it.
"Wu!"
With a muffled groan, the cat-headed Demonic Beast appeared again, but this time, it was dozens of meters away. There was a mark on its body, a vertical mark.
Although it hid in the space, it couldn't avoid Gu Zheng's attack. It was still hit, but the power of the attack was reduced a lot. It only left a mark on its body, but it didn't really hurt it.
Even so, Brook widened his eyes, while Babatos and the other two were stunned.
This Demonic Beast possessed the ability of space. Moreover, it had used space to dodge. Ordinary attacks were simply impossible to hit it. However, Gu Zheng's attack was able to injure it. There was only one explanation for this. Gu Zheng's attack was able to break through the restrictions of space and hit the Demonic Beast.
Making an attack break through the limitations of space was very, very difficult. Even Brook could do it, but he couldn't do it as easily as Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng didn't know how surprised they were, and he wasn't interested. As soon as the owl appeared, he suddenly took a step forward. This step seemed small, but it crossed the dozens of meters and directly reached the owl.
Gu Zheng held Tang Mo with both hands and slashed again.
Gu Zheng did have spatial abilities. He had comprehended a part of the Profound Meaning of Space. Although it didn't give him the ability to cross realms, it was more than enough to deal with a Demonic Beast hiding in space.
There was no gust of wind when the saber slashed down, but it gave people a feeling that it was unstoppable.
Not only did the owl have this feeling, but Babatos and the others also had this feeling. Brook's eyes narrowed slightly. The power of Gu Zheng's slash wasn't the power of an early-stage Void Return cultivator. Even a late-stage Void Return cultivator might not be so powerful.
Gu Zheng had used all his strength in this slash and sealed the surrounding space.
It was impossible for the owl to use space to escape, and it couldn't dodge this slash. It could only roar angrily and face this slash.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There were continuous loud bangs, and even the space seemed to be shaking. Babatos and Bei Lie couldn't help but take a few steps back and look ahead in horror.
They didn't think that this young man who had been following Brook, who didn't talk much and whose cultivation seemed to be lower than theirs, would be so terrifying. The Demonic Beast that the two of them couldn't deal with even when they joined forces was now standing at the side, covered in blood, looking extremely miserable.
This was the result of Gu Zheng's slash. The owl Demonic Beast had blocked it, but it had paid a heavy price. It was already injured, and it wasn't a light injury.
The two of them couldn't hurt the Demonic Beast even when they joined forces, but Gu Zheng had seriously injured it alone. The two of them looked at each other and saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes.
Fortunately, they had been polite to this young man along the way. Although they didn't deliberately try to rope him in, at least they didn't make things difficult for him for Brook's sake. The few of them got along well.
They didn't expect this young man to be such a terrifying existence. He was in a lower realm than them, but he had unleashed strength that was much stronger than theirs. It was really unimaginable.
"Again!"
Although he couldn't kill the owl Demonic Beast with one slash, it had stimulated Gu Zheng's fighting spirit. After reaching the Void Return Realm, Gu Zheng had never had such a satisfying battle. This time, he was at a higher realm, so he couldn't help but want to fight to his heart's content.
"Surrender, I surrender!"
As soon as Gu Zheng raised his saber, the owl Demonic Beast suddenly spoke in human language and waved its claws.
Surrender, this powerful Demonic Beast actually surrendered. Gu Zheng wasn't the only one who was stunned. Even Babatos and Belle were stunned.
There were many Demonic Beasts in Hell, and they were basically at odds with the Demon Gods. However, there were cases of Demonic Beasts surrendering. In some super big families, there were strong Big Goblin beasts in captivity. There were also some Demonic Beasts that surrendered and willingly became slaves.
However, these Demonic Beasts were a minority after all. Demonic Beasts were extremely wild. Under normal circumstances, it was very difficult to make them surrender. Even if there were, they would use some special methods. Demonic Beasts that surrendered voluntarily were very rare.
This yao beast was only one step away from the Gold Immortal Realm. It was definitely a powerful yao beast. Yet, such a yao beast had actually surrendered. Furthermore, it had surrendered of its own accord. It was no wonder that Babatos and the others were stunned.
"I can feel that you're not a Demon God. As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to recognize you as my master!"
The owl Demonic Beast quickly said to Gu Zheng. Although it chose to surrender, it only surrendered to Gu Zheng alone, not everyone.
If Gu Zheng was a Demon God, then it would definitely not surrender. The hatred between the Demonic Beasts and the Demon Gods in Hell was too deep. It wasn't a Demonic Beast that was particularly afraid of death. It was absolutely impossible for it to surrender to a Demon God.
"Brook, is this okay?"
Gu Zheng didn't know if the Demonic Beast was telling the truth or not. He also didn't know if he should accept such a Demonic Pet in Hell. He might as well ask Brook. After all, Brook knew more about this place than he did.
Brook hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "It's not impossible to accept it, but you have to sign a contract!"
Signing a contract was the same as the angry man that Gu Zheng accepted previously. There were also master recognition contracts in Hell and the Demon World. After signing a contract, the Demonic Beast that had acknowledged its master couldn't go against the will of its master.
"I'm willing to sign a master recognition contract!"
The owl Demonic Beast hurriedly nodded. Demonic Beasts had high intelligence, and it wasn't stupid. Although it wasn't weak, the other party was stronger, and there was more than one of them. It had the spatial talent, but the other party had someone who could restrain its spatial talent.
That wasn't all. It had already seen that Brook, who hadn't made a move all this time, was very strong. He might have already surpassed their realm. In this case, it was even more impossible for it to run away. If it couldn't run away, it would die. It was better to acknowledge this young man as its master. At least it could survive.
Most importantly, it had already sensed that Gu Zheng's power wasn't the power of a Demon God. It didn't know where exactly Gu Zheng came from, but it was enough that he wasn't a Demon God.
"Babatos, Belle, what do you think?"
Brook asked Babatos and the others. After all, this was Hell, and it was their territory.
"Since this Demonic Beast is willing, we have no objections!"
Babatos and Belle looked at each other and finally nodded together. However, they seemed a little helpless.
If possible, they were more willing to kill the Demonic Beast. This way, they could still gain some benefits. The Demonic Beast had surrendered and acknowledged them as its master, but it wasn't them. This meant that they had no benefits at all.
However, Brook had personally spoken, and the one who subdued the Demonic Beast was Gu Zheng. They couldn't do anything about it. If they didn't agree, it would mean that they had offended Brook. Although Brook couldn't do something like killing them, he could leave them and hide in Hell. That would mean that they had offended Brook for nothing and lost a friend.
"It's done!"
Babatos and Belle agreed. There was no obstacle to the Demonic Beast recognizing its master. Brook then said something to Gu Zheng.
In his heart, Brook actually hoped that the Demonic Beast would recognize him as its master. This wasn't an ordinary Demonic Beast. This was a Demonic Beast with spatial abilities and a Demonic Beast that lived in Hell. It would be of great help to them in finding the connection points.
Soon, the Demonic Beast recognized Gu Zheng as its master. After that, the Demonic Beast turned into a small ball and curled up beside Gu Zheng.
This small ball of Demonic Beast looked more like a cat. Seeing it reminded Gu Zheng of Meow Meow and made him want to go home even more.
Brook directly walked over and asked the Demonic Beast. This time, no matter what they asked, the Demonic Beast answered honestly. This allowed Brook and the others to know what was going on here.
The rumors that there were Demonic Beasts here weren't false, they were true.
When other Demon Gods came, no matter what kind of Demon God it was, as long as they hadn't arrived, the Cat Demonic Beast would hide inside the Space. Aside from people like Brook and Gu Zheng, no one would be able to discover its existence.
Experts like Daluo Jinxian might be able to discover it if they came here. However, such an expert wouldn't have the thought to come here and cause trouble for a Little Goblin.
Just like that, the Cat Demonic Beast hid here until Brook and the others arrived.
"I'll give you a name. Big Meow!"
After Brook finished asking, Gu Zheng said to the Demonic Beast. Although this Demonic Beast wasn't a real cat, it looked like one. Gu Zheng still gave it a name that was related to cats.
The Cat Demonic Beast was slightly stunned. The muscles on its face couldn't help but tremble a few times. "Thank, thank you Master for giving me a name!"
Big Meow, this name was really frustrating. Unfortunately, its Master had already said that it couldn't change it even if it wanted to. It couldn't go against its Master's will. Little did it know that in another world, there was a Demonic Beast called Meow Meow. It was because of this Meow Meow that it got the name Big Meow.
It wasn't a connection point, and there was no connection point here. In the end, the few of them had no choice but to return to Planto City.
Big Meow followed Gu Zheng's request and maintained its small cat form. This way, ordinary cultivators wouldn't be able to tell that it was a Demonic Beast. They would think that it was an ordinary pet. Only Demon Gods who had reached the Immortal Cultivator Realm would be able to tell that it was a powerful Demonic Beast.
This way, they could avoid a lot of trouble. At the very least, it wouldn't cause any panic.
"Brook, Gu Zheng, you don't have to worry. We will definitely help you find the connection point and let you return!"
In the Belle Manor, Belle and Babatos told Gu Zheng and Brook. It had been three days since they returned, and Brook was still going out to scout for information. Belle and Babatos were also helping them to scout. The information that Gu Zheng could gather was limited, so he didn't ask around. He just went out on his own every day to gather some ingredients.
"I know. I'm not in a hurry!"
Brook nodded gently. He knew very well that there was no use in being anxious. If they were lucky, they could find it the next day. If they were unlucky, they might not be able to find it in a hundred years, or even a thousand years.
Finding a connection point like this depended purely on luck. There was no point in being anxious.
"Brother Gu Zheng, what good things did you buy these few days?"
Babatos said to Gu Zheng with a smile. In the past, they would only chat with Brook. They would only occasionally exchange a few words with Gu Zheng. After returning this time, their attitude towards Gu Zheng had obviously changed.
At least every time they chatted, they wouldn't forget Gu Zheng. They would also find a topic to talk about with Gu Zheng.
The strong would be respected everywhere. Previously, they didn't know about Gu Zheng's strength. Now that they knew about it, they wouldn't neglect Gu Zheng in the slightest.
Although Gu Zheng's realm was lower than theirs, his strength was stronger than theirs. Not to mention that Gu Zheng had also obtained a Peak Realm Demonic Pet. If Gu Zheng and his Demonic Pet were to fight together, he and Belle wouldn't be a match for them even if they teamed up.
Under such circumstances, whether it was Babatos or Belle, they wouldn't neglect Gu Zheng in the slightest.
"It's okay. This city is very big. There are indeed a lot of good things!"
Gu Zheng smiled. This was a King's City. It was much bigger than an ordinary city. There were also a lot of good things in the big city. There were also a lot of Medium and Excellent grade items. However, there weren't many High grade items. They couldn't be bought in the market.
However, Gu Zheng was already very satisfied to be able to buy some Medium grade, or even Excellent grade ingredients and raw materials.
