Gu Zheng had already put the roasted bear meat into his mouth. When he bit down, it made a crisp sound, as if he had bitten into candied haws.
The crispness was only the superficial layer of the roasted meat's skin. The real skin did not have this kind of texture. It still tasted like the skin of meat, but the roasted meat was very soft and did not lose any of its original chewiness.
Under the skin was naturally the white and tender roasted meat. Although it had been roasted, it still tasted juicy. Eating it with the skin of meat was very enjoyable.
Sweet, spicy, fresh, fragrant, and other flavors wantonly filled Gu Zheng's mouth as he chewed the roasted bear meat.
"Not bad."
After taking a bite of the roasted meat, Gu Zheng commented.
The meal was very pleasant. During this time, Gu Zheng and Xiahou Shan also looked at each other, but at least on the surface, Xiahou Shan did not show any hostility.
After the meal, Gu Zheng returned to Purple Yan Island and sent Old Cheng and the others to Morning Clouds Island first.
Gu Zheng could give Morning Clouds Island to the Red Sky Snail Sect and let them take care of themselves, but there had to be pure power of faith produced here.
With Old Cheng and the others on Morning Clouds Island, Gu Zheng could at least be sure that there would soon be a temple that belonged to him. As for the production of pure power of faith, it was only a matter of time.
After returning to Blood Tide Island again, Gu Zheng began to arrange for the islanders' migration.
After migrating the islanders of Blood Tide Island to Morning Clouds Island, Gu Zheng stayed on Morning Clouds Island for five days in a row.
The islanders were still very unfamiliar with Gu Zheng. If he wanted them to contribute pure power of faith in the future, he had to do something that was "close to the people" and make them look up to him and worship him.
During the few days he stayed on Morning Clouds Island, Gu Zheng treated the islanders' illnesses, helped them build their homes with immortal skills, cooked them with immortal food, and told them where the immortal food came from.
Shangguan Feng and the others had already followed Gu Zheng to Morning Clouds Island. As for Sect Leader Mu Chunfeng, he would also come to live on Morning Clouds Island after dealing with some matters on Blood Tide Island. At that time, there would no longer be disciples of the Red Sky Snail Sect on Blood Tide Island.
When the Red Sky Snail Sect abandoned the island, the alliance of the righteous sects did not say anything. After all, in the upcoming battle between the righteous and evil sects, cultivators would not be of much use even if they stayed on Blood Tide Island. They would have to leave sooner or later.
...................................... from the bottom............................
During the time they stayed on Blood Tide Island, Gu Zheng also passed down a set of cultivation methods to Shangguan Feng and the others. This set of cultivation methods came from the treasure trove of the Void Sect. It could be considered as an inheritance of a great sect that had disappeared in history.
The treasures of the Void Sect were nothing to Gu Zheng, who was not afraid of exposing his high-grade Spatial Immortal Tool. He was no longer worried that it would cause any trouble if it was exposed. . With his current strength, he was not afraid of any challenge in today's world...
. Although Mu Chunfeng had not yet come, the Red Sky Snail Sect had already become history. In the future, there would only be a subsidiary of Emei — Morning Clouds Sect.
Time passed unknowingly, and the Hungry Ghost Festival was getting closer and closer.
During this time, there were divine senses spying on Blood Tide Island from time to time. The Alliance of the Righteous Sects' team had also become stronger due to the addition of some cultivators. Among them were Kong Qing and Chen Yue, who had been to the Extremely Fragrant Villa.
Gu Zheng transferred an angry man from the cultivator force belonging to Emei. Although his cultivation was a little low, he had nineteen Neidans. He might be able to play a miraculous role at a critical moment. However, Gu Zheng did not let the angry man go ashore. He hid in the sea. With his strange Neidans, it was extremely difficult to be discovered. As for Meow Meow and Lian Yuxin, they naturally wanted to come, but Gu Zheng told them to guard the two islands well.
During this time on Foggy Wind Island, Gu Zheng and the others did not have nothing to do. They spent a lot of money to set up an immortal array in the sea region where the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone was located. This immortal array was relatively strong. If there were not two or three cultivators above the Late-stage of Void Return attacking at the same time, it would be extremely difficult to break it. With the existence of this immortal array, it would be much more difficult for the Heterodox Dao to enter the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone.
In addition to the immortal array above the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone, the Alliance of the Righteous Sects also prepared three other immortal arrays.
One was called the Four Spirits Array. This immortal array was formed by four people. They were Sun Rui, Master Yu Feng, Xuan Qizi, and Xiahou Shan.
The second immortal array was the Mount Shu Sword Array. However, the members of the Mount Shu Sword Array were all cultivators.
The third immortal array, to be precise, was a Buddhist array. This array was presided over by Great Master Xin Jing. Great Master Xing Dian and other eminent monks of the Buddhist Sects participated in it. The array was called the Boundless Buddha Dharma.
Among the three immortal arrays, the Four Spirits Array was considered the outermost immortal array. When the Heterodox Dao wanted to destroy the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone's sea region immortal array, they would first be killed by the Four Spirits Array. The Four Spirits Array was formed by four cultivators at the peak of Void Return. It was considered a great killing weapon prepared by the Righteous Sects for the Hungry Ghost Festival.
The Mount Shu Sword Array was famous and its power was even more unquestionable. Gu Zheng was also a member of this immortal array. There were a total of eighteen cultivators in this immortal array.
The Boundless Buddha Dharma was considered a supporting array. With the existence of this Buddhist array, no matter which immortal array was on the Righteous Sects' side, its power would increase because of it.
A storm was brewing. The Righteous Sects were well-prepared, but the Heterodox Dao was not unprepared.
According to reliable sources, the Heterodox Dao led by the Blood Soul Sect and Wei Fengxing did not make any moves. However, the Heterodox Dao led by another demon, Patriarch Corpse Demon, also made corresponding preparations.
Patriarch Corpse Demon was a guest from the Wilderness, and his cultivation base was at the pinnacle of the Void Return Stage. According to incomplete information, he had at least twelve Immortal Cultivators from the Wilderness under his command, which made him a very powerful force.
In the next few days, the atmosphere on Blood Tide Island became more and more solemn. The Heterodox Dao cultivators, who were only spying on Blood Tide Island with their divine senses, became bolder and bolder. Not only would they appear in the sky above Blood Tide Island from time to time, there were even some Heterodox Dao cultivators who thought they were strong enough to harass Blood Tide Island.
Finally, regardless of whether the Righteous Sects were willing or not, the Hungry Ghost Festival had arrived.
The sky was gloomy, as if it was going to rain. It was clearly only afternoon, but the sky was as dark as dusk.
The cultivators of the Righteous Sects' alliance were all waiting in formation above the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone. In the distant sky, the Heterodox Dao cultivators were also continuously gathering. There were already close to thirty of them!
"Although many people expected the Heterodox Dao cultivators to come, this is still a bit beyond my imagination!"
The Tool Spirit's voice sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"Adding up all the cultivators of the Righteous Sects, there are only thirty-eight of them! Among these thirty-eight cultivators, there are twenty who have reached the Void Return realm. Among them, there are also a few who are at the peak of the Void Return realm. As for the remaining cultivators, their cultivation bases are below the Void Return realm. "
Gu Zheng's voice paused. Then, he frowned and said, "On the other hand, the Heterodox Dao cultivators are all from the Wilderness. Among them, there are very few who are below the Void Return realm. Most of them are in the middle and late stages of the Void Return realm! And this is only the group led by Patriarch Corpse Demon. The main force of the Blood Soul Sect has yet to appear. "
The Tool Spirit's eyes were filled with emotion. "That's right! If it weren't for the fact that they were on the defensive side, there would be almost no need to fight with such a great disparity in power. Gu Zheng, are you nervous? "
"I'm not nervous. Instead, I feel like I can't wait. It's as if my blood is burning. I think my flying sword is already thirsting for blood," Gu Zheng said coldly.
"Boss Gu, why do you think this Patriarch Corpse Demon has such a strong cohesive force? Why are so many Heterodox Dao cultivators willing to listen to him? "
The person who asked Gu Zheng was Jiang Yizhen. Although Gu Zheng didn't run the Extreme Fragrance Villa anymore, he was still used to calling Gu Zheng boss. During the business period of the Extreme Fragrance Villa, Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou acted as a notary in the "business affairs".
Jiang Yizhen came to the Blood Tide Island earlier than Gu Zheng. The reason why he didn't have complete information was that after he came to the Blood Tide Island, he went into seclusion and only came out today.
"First of all, for the Heterodox Dao cultivators, today's battle is a battle to conquer the world. If they win this battle, the Heterodox Dao will weaken and the Heterodox Dao will flourish. Those who follow Patriarch Corpse Demon are undoubtedly the founders of this generation. Secondly, they don't have many ways to retreat in this battle. After all, they know the purpose of the Blood Soul and the style of the Youquan Blood Devil. If the Blood Soul becomes the Youquan Blood Devil, then the Heterodox Dao will suffer as well! "
After listening to Gu Zheng's analysis, Jiang Yizhen asked again, "Although the Blood Soul is everyone's enemy, Boss Gu, do you think it's possible for him and Patriarch Corpse Demon to join forces?"
"No matter what, they are both on the Heterodox Dao side. There is indeed a possibility for them to join forces. This is the situation that we don't want to see the most!" Gu Zheng said.
At the same time.
Everyone on the Heterodox Dao side looked at a Heterodox Dao cultivator who had just arrived.
"Mo Xin, what's the reply from the Blood Soul?"
The white-haired, bony Corpse Devil Ancestor opened his mouth.
"Patriarch, there is no reply from the Blood Soul." Mo Xin said.
Patriarch Corpse Demon did not speak immediately. He just frowned.
For Patriarch Corpse Demon, his and the Blood Soul's goal was the evil source under the Blood Tide forbidden area. However, he and the Blood Soul had a common enemy! Therefore, at this time, Patriarch Corpse Demon felt that cooperation was the best solution. As for who the evil source would belong to, it would depend on their own means after the Heterodox Dao side was dealt with.
Patriarch Corpse Demon sent Mo Xin to contact the Blood Soul after much difficulty to obtain the news of the Blood Soul's hiding place. However, he received such an answer.
"It seems that he wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman?"
Patriarch Corpse Demon sneered and said, "No matter what, when the Blood Tide rises, we will attack the Immortal Array set up by the Heterodox Dao alliance. The Blood Soul doesn't care if he comes or not!"
Patriarch Corpse Demon slowly swept his gaze across the crowd and said, "When we attack the Heterodox Dao alliance, I hope that everyone will go all out. If anyone wants to fish in troubled waters, don't blame the Old Man for being impolite after this!"
"Patriarch, please don't worry. We will never do that!"
"Patriarch, don't worry. If we want to gain a foothold in this world, this battle is very crucial!"
"Patriarch, please don't worry. We will go all out!"
Patriarch Corpse Demon nodded his head in satisfaction as he looked at the demonic cultivators.
The sky was getting darker. The clouds in the sky were getting thicker. Lightning was faintly discernible in the clouds. It seemed that a heavy rain would fall soon. It was already dusk. Specks of red appeared on the sea surface. The Blood Tide forbidden area's phenomenon had finally appeared!
The Blood Soul's side still did not appear. However, Patriarch Corpse Demon did not intend to wait any longer.
"Kacha …"
A thunderclap sounded in the sky and bean-sized raindrops suddenly fell.
"It's time!"
Patriarch Corpse Demon's majestic gaze swept across the crowd. He pointed the Myriad Ghost Banner at the Heterodox Dao alliance and shouted, "Kill!"
"Charge!
"Kill!"
More than thirty demonic cultivators roared at the same time. In the heavy rain, they charged toward the Heterodox Dao alliance.
"Immortal Artifact Sacrifice!"
Guru Yu Feng roared. Those people in the sky who were not in the immortal array, who had immortal artifacts, immediately launched their immortal artifact divine abilities. All kinds of immortal artifacts either attacked the Devil Dao from afar or smashed towards the Devil Dao like meteors.
"Demonic Artifact Sacrifice!"
Patriarch Corpse Demon sneered. The demonic cultivators behind him also took out their immortal artifacts.
"Bang Bang Bang Bang …"
The sound of explosions in the sky was continuous. In the dusk of the dark night, dazzling lights burst out.
In the first round of immortal artifact confrontation, the Heterodox Dao alliance was completely defeated. Many of their immortal artifacts were smashed back. Some of their immortal artifacts were even destroyed in the first round of confrontation.
Patriarch Corpse Demon did not use his immortal artifact again. When the demonic cultivators rushed into a suitable range, he cast an incantation to activate the immortal array.
The scene in the heavy rain suddenly changed. The scene in everyone's eyes was no longer above the Blood Tide forbidden area. They were now in an empty space.
"Roar!"
Roars sounded in the void one after another as four white light balls appeared out of thin air.
At first, they were only the size of a longan, but in an instant, they were as big as a house.
"Bang!"
A loud sound was heard. The explosion of the four light balls brought a powerful shock wave. Although the demonic cultivators were already prepared, there were still some demonic cultivators who did not dodge fast enough. They were shaken by the first attack of the immortal array and spat out a mouthful of blood.
After the four light balls exploded, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise respectively appeared.
"Four Spirits Array!" Patriarch Corpse Demon sneered. "The four spirits represent the four people controlling the array. If you hurt the four spirits, you will also hurt the four people controlling the array. As for the matter of breaking the array, leave it to me!"
Patriarch Corpse Demon had already ordered the demonic cultivators to attack the four spirits.
The four spirits were inextricably linked to Patriarch Corpse Demon's group. Injuring them was indeed the same as injuring Patriarch Corpse Demon's group. However, with the help of the array, they placed their divine sense on the four spirit incarnations. Wanting to injure them was easier said than done.
The four spirits in the sky were very ferocious. They did not dodge ordinary attacks at all. With a raise of their claws or a flick of their tail, people would be sent flying.
"Delay them!"
Seeing that the four spirits were about to rush towards Patriarch Corpse Demon, who was looking for a point to break the array, Mo Xin immediately roared.
The air was filled with a foul miasma. The demonic cultivators used all kinds of evil arts. Even the powerful four spirits had no choice but to dodge.
"Whoosh …"
The fiery red Vermilion Bird let out a cry. It spat out flames from its mouth and opened a path in the foul miasma.
The one controlling the Vermilion Bird was Xiahou Shan. He had just received instructions from Master Jade Peak to deal with Patriarch Corpse Demon. As for the rest of the demonic cultivators, Master Jade Peak and the rest would be responsible for dealing with them.
The Vermilion Bird turned into a streak of fiery light and flew towards Patriarch Corpse Demon through the opened path.
The easiest way to break the Four Spirits Array was to find a point that was equivalent to a weak point in space. Patriarch Corpse Demon, who was looking for a point to break the array, did not want to be distracted by the arrival of the Vermilion Bird.
"Wuwuwu …"
Ghostly cries came from the Myriad Ghost Banner floating beside Patriarch Corpse Demon. A greyish white fog rushed out from the banner and turned into thousands of malicious ghosts. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they pounced towards the Vermilion Bird in the sky.
"Whoosh!"
The Vermillion Bird let out a shrill cry and stopped in midair. Then, it flapped its two huge wings and a huge flaming tornado suddenly appeared.
The thousands of malicious ghosts in the Myriad Ghost Banner were not ordinary souls. They had been refined by Patriarch Corpse Demon for thousands of years. Their combined power was very powerful.
"Whoosh …"
The thousands of malicious ghosts opened their mouths at the same time. The green flames they spat out instantly condensed into a huge skull that bit towards the flaming tornado.
The green and fiery red collided. Although the flaming tornado disintegrated the huge skull, it lost its original color and turned into a mixture of red and green before disappearing into the air.
The malicious ghosts were still rushing forward. This time, the Vermilion Bird hovering in the sky shook its three tail feathers and shot three streaks of fiery light at Patriarch Corpse Demon like meteors.
"Roar!"
The scattered ghosts instantly gathered and turned into a huge ghost with black hair and bull horns on its head.
"Whoosh …"
The ghost thrust its trident forward. A powerful airflow visible to the naked eye immediately caused the three streaks of fiery light to lose their aim.
"Whoosh!"
The Vermilion Bird's body was ablaze. The flame that suddenly burst out was at least ten feet long and was dripping continuously.
The Vermilion Bird that had entered the state of flame closed its wings and rushed towards Patriarch Corpse Demon.
The huge ghost standing in the sky swung its trident like a club and smashed it at the Vermilion Bird, causing the air to ripple.
"Bam!"
A huge sound was heard. Although the trident hit the Vermilion Bird, its speed only paused for a moment before it continued flying towards Patriarch Corpse Demon. On the other hand, although the huge ghost hit the Vermilion Bird, its body strangely burst into flames the moment it hit the Vermilion Bird.
"Bam!"
The huge ghost in the sky let out an explosive sound. Although they had escaped the danger of being burned to death by the Vermilion Bird's flames, they also lost the ability to stop it.
"Get lost!"
Corpse Devil Ancestor sneered as he pushed both of his palms forward. The space around him instantly turned dark.
"Whoosh …"
The Vermilion Bird let out a sad cry. When the light returned to normal, its body was already sent flying.
"Ugh!"
Patriarch Corpse Demon groaned. He didn't feel good after repelling the Vermilion Bird. After all, it was really powerful.
He didn't take the opportunity to attack the Vermilion Bird. For him, breaking the array was more important.
"Everyone, attack this point with me!"
Patriarch Corpse Demon, who had found the point to break the array, roared. He summoned a bell-shaped immortal artifact and smashed it at a spot in the void.
"Rumble …"
The entire immortal array space shook because of Patriarch Corpse Demon's attack.
