The Sect Leader and the Elders all flew out, and the other disciples could only wait in place.
They could hear the constant shaking outside, but there was no problem with the main peak. However, they did not know if the side peaks outside would be damaged, so they were a little worried.
In fact, the entire Shu Mountain itself was protected by a formation. However, since this demon could come to the main peak, it was obvious that the outer formation had lost its effect. The outermost formation was just a symbol, not a real protective formation.
Basically, anyone whose strength or power had reached the level of a Golden Immortal could break that array. In other words, even Gu Zheng could break the outermost array.
Each side peak also had its own protective formation, but the defensive power was also ordinary. Daluo Jinxian could also break it, so many disciples were worried that their side peaks would be affected by the battle.
Fortunately, all the disciples had arrived at the main peak, so no matter how fierce the battle outside was, it would not cause any damage to the ordinary disciples.
"He Zudao!"
Gu Zheng's face changed slightly. All the disciples of Myriad Valley Peak had arrived at the main peak, but one person was still there, and that was He Zudao. He Zudao had not left and stayed at Myriad Valley Peak as a guest. He was a disciple of Kunlun, and also a famous disciple of Kunlun. No one would say anything if he was willing to stay here as a guest.
An Elder had invited him over. He Zudao's master in Kunlun was also Daluo Jinxian. He had a good relationship with the Elder, so he showed his concern as an elder.
He Zudao was still outside, which made Gu Zheng a little worried.
Although he had not known He Zudao for a long time, he had accompanied him to fly across the desert, and he had drunk a lot of Kunlun Brew. Now he was also a guest. If something happened to He Zudao in his own territory, his conscience would not be at ease.
There were still sounds coming from outside, and Gu Zheng's face became more and more solemn.
Not only him, but many smart people were the same. There were many Daluo Jinxian in Shu Mountain, and they were all Patriarchs. Not to mention all of them, even the Sect Leader and the Twelve Elders were very powerful.
However, they had already been out for such a long time, yet they were still fighting. This meant that they had not immediately subdued the demon.
This also showed that the demon was indeed very powerful. He could not be treated as an ordinary Daluo Jinxian. It was no wonder that so many people had died at his hands. The difference in strength was too great.
About half an hour later, the noise outside finally disappeared, and Purple Cloud and the twelve elders returned.
Gu Zheng was keenly aware that there was something wrong with the complexion of two Elders. It seemed that they had suffered some injuries.
More than a dozen people besieged one person, and someone on his side was injured. This demon was not simple.
"What's the situation in the Virtual Battlefield?"
After returning, Purple Cloud Sage immediately asked. There were still some peaks in the Virtual Battlefield. They hadn't given up and hadn't used up their qualifications to challenge.
"Replying to the Sect Leader, I estimate that it will be over soon. At most, it will take another day!"
A disciple stepped forward and saluted. The Purple Cloud Sage gently shook his head. "Inform them that the Ranking Tournament is over. Based on the current ranking, all disciples are to return to their respective peaks. Without orders from the Main Peak, no disciple is allowed to leave Shushan!"
Was it over? There were still some matches in the Virtual Battlefield that had not been completed yet. It had ended early.
Not only that, but the Shushan disciples were not allowed to leave. Many people looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.
"That demon was not killed, nor was he captured!"
Gu Zheng sighed softly. The Purple Cloud Sage had given such an order. The result was obvious. They had not gotten rid of the demon. Instead, they had let him escape.
More than a dozen elders and the Sect Leader had not been able to get rid of a newly promoted Daluo Jinxian. Even Gu Zheng was secretly surprised.
When the people in the Virtual Battlefield received the notice, the discussion inside became even louder. They did not know that there was a demon outside. Some of the peaks had planned to fight for a good ranking in the end, but it had suddenly ended, causing them to lose this opportunity.
They asked inside, but unfortunately, no one told them what had happened.
Soon, the Virtual Battlefield was closed, and everyone returned to their bodies. Only then did they know that a demon had come to seek revenge and attacked Shushan.
It had been a long time since someone had dared to do this to Shushan. Not to mention the young disciples, many Jin Xian had not experienced it. The last time was 60,000 years ago. At that time, a group of demons had come to take revenge on Shushan. In the end, they were beaten back by Shushan. Shushan had suffered losses, but the other party had suffered more. Less than 10% of the people who came returned. Since then, no one dared to cause trouble in Shushan.
Many people were shocked that such a thing had happened again after 60,000 years.
"Gu Zheng, come here!"
The Purple Cloud Sage suddenly looked at the Myriad Gufeng and called out to Gu Zheng. Many people stopped talking and looked at him with envy, jealousy, and worship.
No one was surprised that the Sect Leader would call Gu Zheng alone. Gu Zheng's performance this time was too dazzling. If they were the Sect Leader, they would also call Gu Zheng over or directly ask Gu Zheng to come to the main peak to cultivate.
Many people didn't know that there were elders who did this before, but they were rejected by Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng looked at Changmei, and Changmei nodded to him.
Changmei understood that the Myriad Gufeng could not keep Gu Zheng. This time, Gu Zheng had brought them a big surprise and helped them a lot. Now, it was the Myriad Gufeng that owed Gu Zheng, not the other way around.
Therefore, he would absolutely support Gu Zheng's decision to leave the Myriad Gufeng.
Gu Zheng went out and came to the center. The Purple Cloud Sage did not say anything. An immortal sword flew out and dragged Gu Zheng's body, flying up with him.
They did not fly to the highest point of the main peak, but they had already passed the sky. There was a big hall here, and there were some people inside. They were the elders who did not participate in the ranking competition. They were talking there.
Gu Zheng also saw an acquaintance. He was very surprised, but at the same time, he was relieved.
"Brother He?"
The one who appeared was He Zudao. He Zudao was also there, but his expression was not very good.
"Brother Gu, that devil is very powerful. I'm sorry!"
He Zudao said with a wry smile when he saw Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng was confused: "Why do you say that, Brother He?"
"I couldn't help you protect the Myriad Gufeng. More than half of the peak was destroyed by that devil!"
He Zudao said again. The thing that Gu Zheng and Long Eyebrows were worried about had happened. The Myriad Gufeng was destroyed.
However, this was not a surprise. After all, it was the Myriad Gufeng who had been sent to kill the devil. If the devil knew this, even if he could not break through the main peak of Shushan, he would not spare the Myriad Gufeng. Fortunately, He Zudao was fine.
"It can be rebuilt. You don't have to worry about this. It's good that you're fine!"
Gu Zheng comforted He Zudao. He Zudao smiled bitterly again and shook his head gently: "That devil is really powerful. If I didn't have the supreme treasure of my sect, I'm afraid this time I would have been in danger!"
The Myriad Gufeng was attacked by the devil, and He Zudao was there. One could imagine the danger he was facing. A devil that dozens of elders, or even more elders, could not stop, he could not resist at all with the strength of Jin Xian.
It was really the best result that he could save his life.
"Brother He, don't be discouraged. With your qualifications and conditions, I believe it won't take long for you to reach the realm of Daluo Jinxian. Then, you can take revenge by yourself!"
Gu Zheng comforted He Zudao again. He Zudao was a little stunned, but soon his expression became a little lonely.
He was also confident that he could reach the realm of Daluo Jinxian, but he really did not have much confidence in the devil. The devil was too strong. He saw with his own eyes the scene of the devil fighting 18 Daluo Jinxian of Shushan alone, which was very shocking.
Although the devil was injured and escaped in the end, he also injured several elders of Shushan. Eighteen people were not able to stop him. This devil was really fierce.
"Gu Zheng, Kunlun has sent a message. They want He Zudao to go back. They will send someone to pick him up, so let him stay on the main peak for a while!"
Purple Cloud Sage said to Gu Zheng. Kunlun already knew about what happened in Shushan.
Gu Zheng did not know how they communicated, but there must be some special way, so he was not surprised. This was the Untainted Land. Although it was not Earth and there was not so much technology, the experts in the Untainted Land naturally had a way to do things that could be done on Earth with the help of technology.
After all, they were all powerful immortals.
He Zudao's status in Kunlun was not ordinary, so it was normal for them to send someone to pick him up. Gu Zheng nodded and did not object. Moreover, Myriad Valley Peak had been destroyed, and there was no place for them to go back. It was better to let He Zudao stay on the main peak.
He Zudao did not object. He knew that he could not stay on Shushan for the time being. The elders in the sect were worried about him, so he must go back first.
"Gu Zheng, you also stay on the main peak!"
Purple Cloud Sage said again. Gu Zheng was stunned. Just when he was about to refuse, Purple Cloud Sage suddenly said, "Myriad Valley Peak has been destroyed. We will build a new peak for them. The name can also be changed. It will not be called Myriad Valley Peak anymore. Then, we will place it in a new place for you, so don't worry!"
Purple Cloud Sage did not give Gu Zheng a chance to refuse. Myriad Valley Peak was now dangerous. Out of the 3,000 side peaks outside, the devil only went to Myriad Valley Peak first. It could be seen that he was very vengeful. At this time, Purple Cloud Sage did not dare to let Gu Zheng stay there.
He had a deep understanding of the devil's strength.
Myriad Valley Peak had been completely destroyed, and there was no value in restoring it. However, this did not matter to Shushan. They had created the 3,000 side peaks of Shushan, so there was no problem in creating another side peak. Since Myriad Valley Peak was gone, there was no need to keep its name. They could just change it.
Purple Cloud Sage was also worried that the devil would come for a second time. This was equivalent to protecting the people of Myriad Valley Peak.
"Yes!"
After hesitating for a while, Gu Zheng finally nodded. The Sect Leader was very sure that he did not intend to let him refuse. It was okay to stay on the main peak, as long as he was not asked to be apprenticed.
He believed that after the devil's disturbance, the most important thing now was to deal with the devil. As long as he objected, no one would insist on taking him as a disciple.
The disciples outside began to slowly leave. According to the usual rules, after Jin Xian's competition, the Sect Leader and the others would calculate the new ranking and announce it on the spot.
However, this time, because of the devil's disturbance, this step was no longer possible. All of them were asked to go back and wait for the notice. The new ranking would be announced to all the peaks in a few days. Now, the peaks were still arranged according to their original positions.
After leaving the main peak, they could fly. Looking from a distance, they could see that the huge main peak was flying out, and there were many small dots like flies. The disciples of each peak began to return to their peaks.
Long Eyebrows also prepared to go back with the disciples of Myriad Valley Peak.
From afar, Long Eyebrows was stunned. Many disciples were also stunned. The other peaks were fine, but at the original location of Myriad Valley Peak, they did not see the familiar towering peak. It was empty.
Long Eyebrows and the others suddenly accelerated and soon arrived at the position of Myriad Valley Peak.
Myriad Valley Peak was completely gone.
Only the foot of the mountain was left. It was completely destroyed. Many of the surrounding peaks were stunned when they saw this scene. Then, they looked at the people of Myriad Valley Peak sympathetically.
Myriad Valley Peak was really unlucky recently. First, it lost more than half of its disciples, and then the whole Myriad Valley Peak was destroyed. However, they were also lucky to have a disciple like Gu Zheng. Unfortunately, they could not keep Gu Zheng.
Not to mention the fact that the Wan Gu Peak was aware of this fact, the other peaks were also aware that the Wan Gu Peak wasn't qualified to keep a disciple like Gu Zheng. Therefore, he must've been sent to the main peak. However, the fact that the Dao Master of the Purple Cloud had taken Gu Zheng away today had confirmed their speculations.
"Master, our home!"
A female disciple came forward and said to Tianmingzi. Her eyes were full of tears, and she was about to cry.
Not only her, but many other disciples were also like this. This was the place where they had been living. It was their home. Their home was destroyed. No one would be calm if it were them.
"Our home is gone!"
Tianmingzi didn't feel good either. He was also very sad in his heart. His home was destroyed just like that. He hated that devil in his heart.
Not only him, but everyone hated that devil. First, he killed so many people of Myriad Valley Peak. Now, he completely destroyed their home. They could not wait to eat that devil's flesh and drink his blood. Unfortunately, they could not beat that devil, so they had nowhere to vent their hatred.
"Senior Brother Long Eyebrows!"
A person flew from afar. Gu Zheng had returned. He would stay in the main peak in the future. Like other disciples, he could not leave Shushan now. However, it did not mean that he could not leave the main peak. Within Shushan, he could still move freely.
"Junior Brother Gu!"
Long Eyebrows and the others came forward together with sadness on their faces. Gu Zheng also saw the miserable state of Myriad Valley Peak. Although he had known the result in advance, it was still very sad to see it with his own eyes.
He had not lived in Myriad Valley Peak for a long time, but after all, it was the first place where he really settled down in Untainted Land. It was also his home.
"Senior Brother Long Eyebrows, don't be sad. The Sect Leader and the others will help us build a new peak. When the time comes, we will move to a new home. In addition, we will not use the name Myriad Valley Peak anymore. Senior Brother Long Eyebrows, you have to give our new peak a new name!"
Gu Zheng comforted him. Building a new peak was inevitable. He could not lose one of the 3,000 side peaks. Moreover, the reason why Myriad Valley Peak suffered such a disaster was entirely because of Shushan.
Long Eyebrows nodded gently. He also knew that the old Myriad Valley Peak could not be returned completely.
Many disciples went to dig in the ruins to look for their previous things. They had not brought many things with them to participate in the ranking evaluation. They had left them at home.
Myriad Valley Peak had a Spatial Fairy Device, but not everyone had one. Basically, only Jin Xian and a few outstanding disciples had one. Many ordinary disciples put their things in their rooms.
Even if they had a Spatial Fairy Device, it was impossible to bring everything inside. The capacity of the Spatial Fairy Device was limited. Not everyone had a huge Untainted Land Space like Gu Zheng. Long Eyebrows, Tianmingzi and the others also came forward to look for their things.
The Shushan disciples passing by all stopped when they saw them. Then, many sighed and left. They sympathized with Myriad Valley Peak's experience. After all, it was a side peak. But they could do nothing about it.
Some side peaks that had a good relationship with Myriad Valley Peak also stopped to help them search the ruins. During the evaluation, they could kill each other. But after that, they were all from the same sect. Everyone in the same sect had some good friends who helped each other.
"These few days, all of you will stay with me at the main peak. When the Sect Leader and the others are done, they will help us build a new home!"
When the ruins were almost finished, Gu Zheng said that they had no home to go to these days. Long Eyebrows did not object and nodded directly.
Instead of staying at other peaks, it was better to follow Gu Zheng to the main peak. After all, Gu Zheng was one of them.
The disciples of Myriad Valley Peak returned to the main peak. At this time, the people of the other peaks had already known what had happened to Myriad Valley Peak. Among the 3,000 side peaks, only Myriad Valley Peak was in trouble. The demon was targeted and deliberately came for revenge.
However, the demon was really powerful. He had completely destroyed Myriad Valley Peak. That was a high mountain. If it were them, they would not have such power. Daluo Jinxian was really powerful.
On the main peak, there was a big courtyard on the mountainside. It was small to call it a courtyard. It could be called a small palace.
Many immortal trees grew around the palace. They were lush and the scenery was very beautiful.
"This is a house that only elders can have?"
After arriving here, Wu Chengfeng was the first to cry out in surprise. Not everyone could live in such a place on the main peak. Purple Cloud Sage had just assigned this place to Gu Zheng. It was also because this place was very big that he had invited Long Eyebrows and the others to come back and live here.
Wu Chengfeng had once been to an elder's house and knew what it looked like. He had also chatted with Jin Xian of the main peak. Jin Xian's house was just an ordinary house on the main peak. It was no different from the outside peaks. It was even smaller than the outside peaks. However, the elders' houses were different. The elders' houses were very luxurious. Moreover, they existed alone and were very quiet.
Not only that, the elders' houses had separate exits. They could fly out and land in their own houses. It was convenient for Jin Xian and other disciples to come and go.
Gu Zheng's small palace was like this. It had a separate entrance and exit. When Purple Cloud Sage had assigned it to him, he had not thought much about it. After Wu Chengfeng had told him, he knew that only elders were qualified to have such a house. This was the benefit of the elders.
