The Sanxian Cave had not been doing well recently.
After the incident with Gu Zheng, they had spread the word that someone had pretended to be a Shushan disciple and committed murder. Moreover, they had made it sound as if it was real. Because they were the victims, they made themselves sound very pitiful, while Gu Zheng and Li Wuyou were very cruel.
At that time, Eldest Senior Brother had already determined that Gu Zheng was a fake, and definitely not a Shushan disciple. That was why he dared to do so. He wanted to rely on Shushan to get rid of Gu Zheng.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Before long, a real Shushan disciple came and reprimanded them.
Gu Zheng was not a fake. He was indeed a Shushan disciple and had already returned to Shushan. They would correct what they had spread before, and correct Gu Zheng's name no matter what.
This Shushan disciple was just an ordinary heavenly immortal. However, when he arrived on the Shushan Immortal Sword, no one in the Sanxian Cave dared to disrespect him. This was the authority of Shushan outside.
This person was not sent by Gu Zheng, but by Wu Zheng. Back then, Gu Zheng had saved him. He wanted to repay him, or at least bring back Gu Zheng's fake name. Therefore, he spread the news and asked his fellow disciples in the Nanzhan Department Continent to do this.
When Eldest Senior Brother heard about it, he was completely dumbfounded. Later, the three Patriarchs came out of seclusion and punished him. He was still in confinement.
After that, the Sanxian Cave sent people everywhere to spread the news that Gu Zheng was not a fake, and that they had made a mistake. It was their fault. Now, many people in the Nanzhan Department Continent laughed at the mention of the Sanxian Cave. They were laughing at them. Jin Xian and his disciple, who had wanted to take revenge on the Imperial Advisor, did not dare to make a sound.
The two of them were also confined and were not allowed to go out.
After they were done, they heard that a demon had attacked Shushan. However, Shushan was fine. After that, no Shushan disciples came to find trouble with them. Gradually, the Sanxian Cave relaxed a little.
"Look at you, you came out just because you wanted to. Why did you run so far? What's so good about the Nanzhan Department Continent? It's not even as good as our Dongsheng Divine Continent!"
There was a big palanquin in the middle. That palanquin was an immortal artifact, and a very good one at that. The space inside was not small either. Gu Zheng and Sora Aoi were sitting there tasting wine, and Su Ming was sitting beside them.
The one who was complaining was Su Ming. Great Sect Elder Su had sent his youngest uncle master to protect him. He originally did not want to come out, but this time, he was completely dragged down.
"What's wrong with the Southern Viewing Department Continent? No matter what, it's still a large continent. Moreover, there are many good ingredients here that can make even better food!"
Gu Zheng smiled. Just as he expected, once he mentioned good food, Su Ming immediately stopped complaining. He even started thinking.
Now that they had been together for a long time, Su Ming no longer had any reservations towards Gu Zheng. When they were alone, he no longer bowed to him, and neither did he call him uncle master. This made Gu Zheng feel even more at ease and at ease.
"Uncle Master, Uncle Master, we're about to reach Three Immortals Cave!"
One of the Jin Xian outside reported. Gu Zheng used Three Immortals Cave as an excuse to come here first. This time, it was much more comfortable than when he went to Shu Mountain. With a comfortable immortal artifact to sit on, he could lie down and sleep whenever he wanted. It was very comfortable.
Their group was very strong, and they had Daluo Jinxian with them, so they did not have to worry about anything. When they flew across the desert, there were some ignorant ferocious desert beasts. Gu Zheng did not even have to move before he was taken care of by the disciples outside.
The ten Jin Xian who came this time were all in the later stage of the Jin Xian Realm. With this kind of strength, they could definitely do whatever they wanted in the desert. At that moment, they were also working together to activate their immortal power and bring the palanquin flying quickly.
"Alright, I'll be right out!"
Gu Zheng smiled and walked out of the palanquin. When he came out, the palanquin had already begun to descend from the sky and soon landed in front of the mountain gate of Three Immortals Cave.
Such a large number of people had already alarmed the people of Three Immortals Cave. The three Patriarchs of Three Immortals Cave had come out of seclusion because of the matter of Shu Mountain and had not gone into seclusion again. When they saw so many people coming, they were shocked and immediately flew out of the mountain gate.
The ten Jin Xian from Shu Mountain stood on their immortal swords and flew forward together.
The ten of them were either wearing purple immortal swords or red immortal swords, which were very eye-catching under their feet.
"I didn't know that you were coming from Shu Mountain. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you!"
Among the three Patriarchs, two were women and one was a man. At that moment, the man was the one who spoke. He did not look old, only in his thirties, and was quite handsome.
At that moment, he cupped his fist anxiously. Ever since he knew that his disciple had offended Shu Mountain, he had been very worried. If it had been an ordinary offense, he could have used his connections to apologize. At worst, he would have just paid a little more. As long as the other party was satisfied, the matter would have been resolved. However, they had been framing the other party as an impostor and destroying their reputation.
Although they had been trying to make up for it afterward, after all, no one knew the truth before, and they had indeed been slandered for a while.
The ten of them did not speak. Instead, they moved aside. Gu Zheng, Su Ming, and the woman walked out of the palanquin together.
The Patriarchs of Three Immortals Cave had never seen Gu Zheng before, but the other Jin Xian behind them narrowed her eyes. At that time, the three of them had received Gu Zheng. The other two had been locked up, and only she had escaped.
When she saw Gu Zheng coming out, she quickly sent a message to her Patriarch.
The Patriarchs of Three Immortals Cave immediately looked at Gu Zheng. They immediately led their people forward and bowed to him.
"I'm Song Zhewen of Three Immortals Cave. Greetings, fellow Daoist Gu. What happened last time was purely a misunderstanding, but it has been settled. The entire Three Immortals Cave is willing to accept your punishment without any objections!"
He was very humble. He had no choice but to do so. Ten Jin Xian had come, and none of them were inferior to him. The strength of these people alone was much stronger than that of Three Immortals Cave. There would be no problem in destroying them.
Besides, if Shu Mountain wanted to destroy them, no one would be willing to help them. Even if they could escape, no one would dare to take them in. They might even be captured and sent to Shu Mountain.
Since they could not escape, they might as well admit it and let the other party deal with them.
"If it's not you, then where are the people who slandered me?"
Gu Zheng glanced at them and shook his head gently. One could not hit a smiling person. This person was so humble that he could not do anything. Besides, every injustice had its perpetrator and every debt had its debtor. They were not the ones who had targeted Gu Zheng and promoted Gu Zheng.
"You two, go and bring out those two inferior disciples. Quick!"
Song Zhewen quickly said to his companions. He was secretly relieved. It seemed that the other party did not intend to target the entire Three Immortals Cave. They only wanted the culprits.
If that was the case, handing those people over might be able to exchange for the safety of Three Immortals Cave. Losing two Jin Xian was indeed painful, but it was nothing compared to the entire foundation.
Not long after, the Eldest Senior Brother and Jin Xian with the surname Wu were sent out.
When they saw the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal and Gu Zheng standing in the void outside on their swords, they were stunned. Their eyes were bitter. Ever since they knew that Gu Zheng was not an imposter, they had been worried and afraid. They did not expect him to find them so quickly.
"We meet again. Do you believe my identity this time?"
Gu Zheng walked out and smiled at them. Back then, they had been extremely suspicious of him. In order to save Gu Zheng, they had been forced to take action. They had even chased him all the way to the imperial city.
"I haven't gone to the Ancient Holy Empire yet. I just want to ask you, is the princess alright?"
Gu Zheng said calmly. Upon hearing this, Jin Xian with the surname Wu and the Eldest Senior Brother hurriedly shook their heads, indicating that the princess was fine. They did not dare to take revenge after the incident.
It was true that they did not take revenge. It was mainly because of what Gu Zheng had said before he left. If they wanted to take revenge, they would have to wait until they caught Gu Zheng and the other person. However, they did not expect that the two of them were not imposters at all. They had made a big mistake and even harmed themselves.
"That's good. I told you repeatedly that I was a disciple of Shu Mountain. It's fine if you didn't believe me, but you still went around slandering my name. I'm here today to seek justice!"
Gu Zheng spoke slowly, but Su Ming was getting a little impatient. He cut in and said, "It's just a puny Three Immortals Cave. Why are you wasting your breath on them? Yin Feng, Yin Ping, someone is slandering your granduncle master. What should you do?"
Yin Feng and Yin Ping were brothers. They were also two of the ten Jin Xian this time. They were the people in charge.
"Uncle master, slandering our Grand Uncle Master is an unforgivable crime!" The two Jin Xian walked over and wrapped their fists in their palms as they replied. Su Ming nodded in satisfaction.
Their words frightened Song Zhewen and the others, especially their eldest senior brother and the Jin Xian whose surname was Wu. They did not know what was going on with their Grand Uncle Master, but they knew that these people wanted to kill them.
"Supreme Immortals of Shu Mountain, it's all their fault. It's our fault for not teaching them well. Today, we are willing to punish these bad disciples. Please forgive our Three Immortals Cave!"
Song Zhewen said quickly. Before he could finish, he had already charged towards the Eldest Senior Brother with hatred.
"Master!"
Eldest senior brother cried out in surprise and immediately resisted. However, he was not the only one who attacked. The four Jin Xian from Three Immortals Cave also attacked, including the Jin Xian whose surname was Wu.
The battle progressed very quickly. The two Jin Xian were nurtured by the three Progenitors of Three Immortals Cave. The three Progenitors knew their strength very well. It was very easy to deal with them. In a short while, the two were killed, and their corpses were placed on the ground.
"The culprits who offended Shu Mountain have been punished. Supreme Immortals of Shu Mountain, please forgive us!"
This time, Song Zhewen knelt down on one knee. The Immortals of the Primordial World rarely knelt, unless they were master and disciple. In Shu Mountain, all the disciples only bowed when they saw the Sect Leader and the Elders. They did not kneel.
Kneeling was already a very grand gesture.
Su Ming was very satisfied with their attitude. Gu Zheng cast a deep look at Song Zhewen, then nodded slowly in the end.
When he saw Gu Zheng nodding, the sweat on Song Zhewen's forehead fell. He finally relaxed a little.
In truth, Gu Zheng did not want to kill them. He just wanted to teach them a lesson. After all, they had spread rumors about him in the Southern Viewing Continent and Dong Sheng Divine Continent to slander his reputation. He did not expect Song Zhewen to be so ruthless. In order to protect himself, he actually killed the two of them himself.
However, Song Zhewen's actions also made Gu Zheng very vigilant.
This person was ruthless and decisive. Although they had killed their own people, it was hard to guarantee that they would not hold a grudge against Shu Mountain. This person could not be left alive. However, now was not the time to kill them. If he really killed them now, it would make Shu Mountain seem too petty.
When he had the chance in the future, he would secretly execute them.
Song Zhewen did not know that his act of saving his own life had actually harmed himself. It had caused Gu Zheng to be wary of him and want to kill him. Gu Zheng was no longer the same as when he had just started cultivating. After all, he had been the Sect Leader of Mount Emei for a few years. He knew how sinister people could be.
The group of people from Shu Mountain left. They came quickly and left quickly. From the beginning to the end, they did not attack.
Once they left, Song Zhewen let out a long sigh of relief. His body was still a little weak.
"Master, eldest senior brother and the others!"
The only remaining disciple of the third Progenitor, Jin Xian, said softly. There was a hint of guilt in her voice. Although she had also attacked, they had been fellow disciples of the same sect for many days. She had no choice but to attack with her master.
"Shut up! They deserved it!"
Song Zhewen quickly shouted. There was something he did not say. Shu Mountain was too much of a bully. Once he mastered his cultivation and had enough strength, he would definitely take revenge.
Gu Zheng's guess was right. This person was indeed filled with resentment.
"They're just a small sect. There's no need for them to come here personally. They could have just sent some disciples to get rid of them all!"
After they left, Su Ming was still complaining. For such a small sect, it would have been enough to send any one of the three hundred side summits. There was no need to send them. It made Su Ming feel as if he had used a butcher's knife to kill a chicken.
"Sect Elder Su, this is my grudge. Sending someone is different from me coming here myself!"
Gu Zheng smiled. The ten Jin Xian followed his orders and chose a direction to fly in. Gu Zheng sat by the window of the palanquin and looked down.
"Sect Elder Su, do you want to eat roasted meat?"
When he saw the familiar scene below, Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly asked.
"Roasted meat? Sure!"
When he mentioned food, Su Ming immediately stopped complaining. His eyes shone brightly. Gu Zheng's cooking was really good. He would never get tired of eating it.
"Yin Feng, let's go to the biggest mountain below!"
Gu Zheng said to Yin Feng, who was outside. Yin Feng was a Jin Xian from the main mountain. He was also a disciple personally accepted by Dao Master Purple Cloud. However, he did not dare to show any disrespect to Gu Zheng and immediately agreed respectfully.
The disciples from the main mountain did not participate in the evaluation. However, he had also seen Gu Zheng's performance in the Virtual Battlefield. He had really killed everyone. He had also compared himself to Gu Zheng. If he were to fight, he would not be Gu Zheng's opponent.
Immortal cultivators had a certain level of respect for those who were stronger than them. Not to mention, Gu Zheng's seniority was much higher than his. Besides, his master, Dao Master Purple Cloud, had ordered him not to show any disrespect to Gu Zheng. Besides going to dangerous places, he had to listen to Gu Zheng in everything else.
"We've been here before!"
Yin Feng and the others began to descend. Sora Aoi also noticed the place below. It was very familiar.
"The king sent me to patrol the mountain …"
Gu Zheng snorted again. Sora Aoi suddenly understood. This was the place where they had just entered the Eldritch Wasteland. They had also hunted wild animals on the mountain next to it and met two Little Goblin. No wonder he found this place so familiar.
"Elder Su, this is the place where we came to the Eldritch Wasteland. When we came from Earth, this was the first place we came to!"
Gu Zheng said to Su Ming with a smile. They had already landed at the foot of the mountain. There were quite a number of black dots running down the mountain. The fastest were the five black dots that were flying towards them.
"I didn't know that you would be here. Please forgive me!"
The five that could fly ran the fastest. They flew over and knelt on the ground with a thud. Their appearance made Yin Feng and the others look at them with disdain.
These five were all monsters. Moreover, they had not completely transformed. They still retained some of the characteristics of monsters. However, they were much better than the Little Goblin from before. At least they had transformed their arms and legs.
The five of them knelt there and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Gu Zheng and the others did not hide anything. They had already sensed the strength of the other party. The five of them were all Celestial Immortals. One of them had reached the Void Return Realm, while the other four were in the Divine Transformation Realm and the other two were in the Qi Transformation Realm. With this kind of strength, any one of them, Jin Xian, could easily kill them.
This was a nest of Little Goblin monsters.
Humans and Goblins did not live together. In fact, they were still enemies. After all, they were different races. Humans rarely came into contact with Goblin. However, both sides were very restrained and did not fight. After all, Goblin was also a big race in the Eldritch Wasteland. There were many of them. Moreover, Goblin also had Saints. It was impossible to completely destroy all Goblin.
Although there were no big battles, it did not mean that there were no small battles. Subduing monsters and demons was the responsibility of the righteous path. Subduing demons came after subduing monsters.
If any monster dared to cause trouble in the human world, immortal cultivators would definitely come to eliminate them. However, if they did not come out, ordinary immortal cultivators would not purposely cause trouble for them.
"We're just passing by. Go do whatever you need to do!"
Gu Zheng waved at them. The Little Goblin on the mountain also ran down. He saw the two Little Goblin that he had met earlier, but he did not greet them.
"Yes, yes. Please do as you wish, Exalted Immortal!"
It was good that they were not here to kill them. The five leaders of the monsters quickly nodded and got up to leave.
These Little Goblin monsters came and left quickly. Some Little Goblin were taken away before they could run down.
"Yin Feng, go and catch some big game. Today, we'll eat barbecue."
Gu Zheng, Sora Aoi, and Su Ming left the palanquin. The palanquin was put away. When Yin Feng heard the order, he immediately flew up with a few ordinary Celestial Immortal disciples. After a while, they came back with a few deer and a few sheep.
Gu Zheng wanted the big ones, so they did not catch the small ones.
Gu Zheng set up a few grills and barbecued the sheep and deer together. Today, they would be eating barbecued sheep and deer. In fact, they could have barbecued meat anywhere. The reason why they chose to barbecued meat here was because it was a commemorative place. After all, this was the first time they came to the Untainted Land.
Gu Zheng barbecued three deer and three sheep at the same time. He had never barbecued so many animals at the same time before. However, with his ability, it would not be a problem for him to double the amount.
They had a lot of people. It was not just him, Su Ming, and Sora Aoi. There were also Yin Feng and other people who had been following them and flying with them. They had been working the hardest these days. Gu Zheng would not barbecue meat himself and let them watch.
"It smells so good!"
Before long, many people started sniffing and swallowing their saliva. Even Yin Feng and the rest of the Jin Xian were the same. There were not many who could resist the temptation of Gu Zheng's food.
Under the activation of Gu Zheng's immortal power, it did not take long for everything to be barbecued. Gu Zheng and the rest kept two sheep legs and one deer leg. The rest were given to Yin Feng and the rest to share. These things were very big. Three legs were enough for the three of them to eat.
