If it was an ordinary sect, the Taishang Elder would naturally be high and mighty. However, Emei was different. Emei was high and mighty as the Sect Leader. After all, the entire Emei was revived by Gu Zheng! The Taishang Elders who joined the Emei Sect later also accepted this reality under the indoctrination of the previous Taishang Elders.
However, the newly joined Grand Elders did not know much about Gu Zheng, so when Gu Zheng said that he would make up for what he owed Emei, they immediately reminded him and even questioned him.
In the face of the Grand Elders' reminders and doubts, Gu Zheng said, "Don't worry too much, Grand Elders. I dare to say this because I have something to rely on. As for Grand Elder Jian Ying, she is fine now. Green Peach Island has been conquered by me, and the three Demonic Cultivators of the Blood Transformation Sect on the island have been restrained. "
"That's great!"
"Sect Leader is mighty!"
Lian Yuxin, Jia Si, and Wuchou did not doubt Gu Zheng's words at all. In their hearts, Gu Zheng was almost omnipotent.
"What, what?"
"Has, has it been conquered?"
"That's, that's great!"
"Did Sect Leader come back with other Fellow Daoists this time?"
Cao Kang and the other three Grand Elders were tongue-tied. They were simply too shocked.
"I didn't come back with others, I came back alone."
Gu Zheng's voice was calm and confident. Only now did Cao Kang and the others truly believe that Green Peach Island had been conquered. They immediately cheered and applauded.
Next, Gu Zheng chatted with the Grand Elders for a while, then his Divine Sense flew into the Chaos Pagoda.
The top of the forty-nine-story Chaos Pagoda was Gu Zheng's personal space. Gu Zheng's Divine Sense went straight in. After entering the top of the pagoda, he saw Jiaojiao in the form of a light ball.
Gu Zheng's Divine Sense had already arrived, but Jiaojiao did not have any reaction to it. It seemed that it was seriously injured.
"The Chaos Pagoda itself is not damaged, only Jiaojiao is damaged!" The Weapon Spirit's voice sounded.
"We're both spirits. Do you know what happened to Jiaojiao?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Don't be in such a hurry. Let me examine it first," said the artifact spirit.
After a while, the weapon spirit spoke again, "The so-called spirit body is similar to a human to a certain extent. A human can be said to be made up of a body and a soul. The structure of a spirit body is very similar to this. What you see now is only Jiao Jiao's body. It has no spirit. It is like a person whose soul has been taken away, leaving only an empty shell."
"Although the Primal Chaos Pagoda only has forty-nine levels, it can still be considered a low-grade or mid-grade Immortal Artifact. How did the other party manage to extract the spirit of the Artifact Spirit from the pagoda?" Gu Zheng frowned.
"For it to be able to do this, it must have been done using some kind of Immortal artifact that specializes in dealing with spirit bodies."
The Weapon Spirit's voice paused for a moment before continuing, "However, you don't have to worry too much. Jiaojiao's spirit has not dissipated. If its spirit has dissipated, its body will not exist. So you have to go to the Heaven Demon Sect as soon as possible and see if its spirit is in the hands of the Heaven Demon Sect."
After coming out of the Chaos Pagoda, Gu Zheng spoke with the higher ups of the sect for a while before returning to the Jade Peach Island with his Divine Sense.
The big bearded Devil Cultivator and the others had used tricks to poison the islanders. Only this kind of poisonous blood was more useful for them to cultivate their Blood Qi.
The poison that the islanders were poisoned with was not the kind that was difficult to remove. Gu Zheng made the Immortal Artifact pot become very big in the square. After all, this time he was going to make food therapy for more than a thousand people.
A large pile of ingredients was taken out by Gu Zheng. He then processed them in batches.
The islanders knew that Gu Zheng was going to make food therapy for them to detoxify the poison, so they were all very excited. As for Jian Ying, who had never seen Gu Zheng cook food therapy before, her eyes were full of curiosity at this moment.
After spending nearly an hour, Gu Zheng finally processed the ingredients. Then, he put the ingredients into the pot in batches and used the Five Elements Immortal Art to control the changes of the ingredients in the pot.
The aroma became stronger as the cooking process went on. Although the quality of the ingredients for the food therapy this time was not high, when it was cooked by Gu Zheng, even if the amount was more than a thousand at a time, it still made the islanders and Yang Zhenling salivate.
"Sect Leader, you're amazing. I've heard about your cooking skills before. This time, I've really learned something! You cooked food therapy for more than a thousand people at a time, and the smell is still so fragrant. I really don't know what to say. I just want to taste it immediately! "Jian Ying said.
"Then you'll have to wait for a while. Because of the large amount, it takes a long time to cook. I estimate that it will take another half an hour before it's ready," Gu Zheng said.
"It's worth it even if it takes an hour, let alone half an hour!" Jian Ying swallowed her saliva and said.
Half an hour later, the food therapy was ready and distributed to everyone.
The islanders were full of praise for the taste of the food therapy, but what made them more excited was the effect of the food therapy. After a bowl of food therapy, the pustules on their faces quickly scabbed over. Their bodies could not feel the discomfort caused by the poison.
Moreover, Gu Zheng also told the islanders that the effect of the food therapy was not only to detoxify the poison. After the scabs on their faces fell off, the residual effect of the medicine in their bodies would also repair the damaged skin on their faces. Such a miraculous effect naturally made the islanders extremely happy.
"Sect Leader, what are you going to do next?" Jian Ying asked Gu Zheng.
"Next, I'm going to Ziyan Island to settle accounts with the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect!" Gu Zheng said.
"You're going there alone?" Jian Ying's eyes widened.
"That's right," Gu Zheng said.
"Sect Leader, can I go with you?"
Jian Ying looked anxious. Last time, when the Heavenly Demon Sect attacked Mount Emei, she was also injured by the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
However, as soon as she said that, she regretted it. Her strength was only at the Late-stage of Void Return. She was afraid that she would be a burden to Gu Zheng if she followed him.
"There's no such thing as a burden."
Gu Zheng smiled. "If you want to kill the people who hurt you with your own hands, you can come with me!"
"Thank you, Sect Leader!" Jian Ying cheered.
Gu Zheng nodded and then looked at Yang Zhenling. "Hang up these bastards of the Blood Transformation Sect. The islanders can vent their anger on them, but you have to be careful when you attack them. Don't kill them. I still need their lives!"
Gu Zheng had set up Restrictive Spells on the bearded man and his two companions. These Restrictive Spells could protect the three of them. As long as they were not attacked by the Immortal Cultivators and the islanders were allowed to vent their anger, they would not be killed. At most, they would suffer some pain.
"Yes!"
Yang Zhenling had been waiting for Gu Zheng to deal with the bearded demonic cultivator and the other two for a long time. Now that Gu Zheng gave the order, he immediately looked at the islanders impatiently. "Men, hang these three animals up and whip them!"
The islanders were in high spirits. They soon hung up the bearded man and his two companions and whipped them one after another, making them scream like pigs being slaughtered.
Although the bearded man and his companions were only able to feel pain, this did not affect the islanders' enthusiasm. Every lash of the whip brought joy to the islanders' faces.
"Take this jade pendant with you. If anything dangerous happens while I'm away, crush the jade pendant immediately. I'll be back as soon as possible!"
Just in case, Gu Zheng gave Yang Zhenling a jade pendant.
Yang Zhenling took the jade pendant and said, "Young Master, be careful!"
Gu Zheng didn't linger on Green Peach Island for long. He took Jian Ying and flew towards Purple Yan Island.
Among the islands owned by Gu Zheng, Purple Yan Island was relatively far from Green Peach Island. However, Jiaojiao's spirit might be in the hands of the Heavenly Demon Sect, so Gu Zheng had to go to Green Peach Island first.
Although the Violet Yan Island was not close to the Peach Island, this distance was nothing to the cultivators.
Gu Zheng was also familiar with the Protective Immortal Formation of Purple Yan Island. Although the Gate of Life had been changed, Gu Zheng could still easily take Jian Ying in.
However, unlike when they first entered Green Peach Island, there were only three Demonic Cultivators on Green Peach Island. They did not happen to take care of the Protective Immortal Formation, so they did not know in advance that someone had entered.
However, since Purple Yan Island was captured, the Heavenly Demon Sect had made it their headquarters. Almost all the Demonic Cultivators in the sect were on Purple Yan Island. Therefore, there were people who took care of the Protective Immortal Formation. When someone entered the Protective Immortal Formation through the Gate of Life, the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect who took care of the Protective Immortal Formation were the first to know.
Although it was called the Heavenly Demon Sect, there weren't many people in the sect. According to the information provided by the Grand Master, there were only about five hundred people in the Heavenly Demon Sect. Among them, there should be about thirteen immortal cultivators.
Before Gu Zheng could take Jian Ying to Purple Yan Island, four cultivators flew toward them.
Jian Ying told Gu Zheng their names. The Demonic Cultivator who had hurt him was among them.
"Jian Ying, I haven't seen you for a while. You've become bolder. How dare you sneak onto our Purple Yan Island! Although your face is disfigured now, you used to be a great beauty. This Old Man will reluctantly accept you as a Cultivation Furnace! "
Gu Butong, who had hurt Jian Ying, rubbed his chin with his fingers and smiled obscenely.
Following Gu Butong's teasing, the other three men beside him laughed as well.
"Jian Ying, what do you want this time? To attack Purple Yan Island? "
Xu Sheng, the Demonic Cultivator, pretended to make a fuss. He did not notice that danger was about to happen.
"Jian Ying, who is this guy beside you? From what I know about you, you don't have the guts to come to Purple Yan Island without someone to rely on! Since you've come to Purple Yan Island with two people, it seems that the young man beside you is your backer, isn't it? "
The Demonic Cultivator, Zhong Ning, deliberately called Gu Zheng a young man. There was a strong sense of ridicule in his words.
"Hey, young man! Look, Jian Ying is so scared that she doesn't dare to say anything. As a man, shouldn't you say something? The Ancestor's saber doesn't accept nameless ghosts! "
The Demonic Cultivator grinned hideously. The Black Gold Ghost Head Saber on his shoulder emitted wisps of black fog as he laughed.
"My name is Gu Zheng."
There was no fear in his voice, only calmness and coldness. Gu Zheng's answer made the four people of the Heavenly Devil Sect frown.
"Gu Zheng?"
"Why does this name sound so familiar?"
"Wasn't the last Sect Leader of the Emei Sect called Gu Zheng?"
"Where's the one with the same name? I remember that their last Sect Leader just ascended to Untainted Land a few years ago. "
The four people of the Heavenly Devil Sect asked one after another, their eyes full of doubts.
"No, this is Gu Zheng! When I killed Du Wei, I searched his soul. He looks exactly the same as the one in Du Wei's memory! "
Zhong Ning pointed at Gu Zheng with some fear in his eyes. After all, Gu Zheng ascended to Untainted Land as Jin Xian, but his real cultivation base was only at the peak of Void Return. Even though Gu Zheng had suppressed his cultivation base, there was still a gap between them.
After all, the Earth was not the Untainted Land. This time, Gu Zheng did not wear the mask given by the Gluttonous Immortal. Therefore, his appearance and Qi did not change, which was why many people could recognize him.
"It seems that you killed Du Wei, right?"
Gu Zheng's calm eyes suddenly turned cold.
"It wasn't me!"
Zhong Ning blurted out subconsciously.
"Go to hell!"
Gu Zheng roared, and a huge fire dragon appeared out of thin air, rushing toward Zhong Ning.
Zhong Ning dodged, and the other demon cultivators also made their moves. They either attacked Gu Zheng or the fire dragon, wanting to help Zhong Ning out of this predicament. The fire dragon's aura was terrifying, and they knew that if they did not help, Zhong Ning might be killed by the fire dragon!
In the face of the attack, the fire dragon suddenly disappeared into thin air. When it reappeared, it was already behind Zhong Ning. With a swing of its gigantic tail, Zhong Ning's protective barrier was shattered. His entire body was sent flying like a kite with its string cut.
Jian Ying knew that Gu Zheng did not want these demon cultivators to die so easily. She also knew that Zhong Ning would be half-dead even if he did not die from the fire dragon's attack. Therefore, she immediately flew to Zhong Ning's side, destroyed his ball of immortal power, and placed a restriction on him to make him behave.
Ignoring the situation on Jian Ying's side, the remaining three demon cultivators were already trembling with fear after just one attack! The strange fire dragon technique and Gu Zheng, who completely ignored their attacks, were simply inhuman!
Therefore, with just one attack, the three demon cultivators no longer had the heart to fight. They immediately flew in three directions.
"You also know how to use a saber?"
Gu Zheng was the first to catch up with Esteemed Master Magic Saber. He was the one who tried to stop the fire dragon with the Black Gold Ghost Head Saber.
"No!"
The terrified Esteemed Master Magic Saber denied without hesitation, as if he would be killed if he spoke slower.
"Since you don't know how to use a saber, then don't use a saber!"
Gu Zheng waved Tang Mo in his hand. It seemed to land very slowly, but in fact, it blocked all the escape routes of Esteemed Master Magic Saber.
"Ah!"
Esteemed Master Magic Saber, who was desperate, roared. Suddenly, a black light burst out from the Magic Saber in his hand. While launching a spiritual attack on Gu Zheng, he also sharpened his saber and swept it toward Gu Zheng's lower abdomen.
The Mind Soothing Spell automatically operated, so the spiritual attack produced by the Magic Saber was useless against Gu Zheng. The saber, which originally blocked all the escape routes of Esteemed Master Magic Saber, changed its direction slightly. The two fairy weapons collided with each other, and a strange sound of metal clashing was suddenly heard.
Esteemed Master Magic Saber, a high-grade fairy weapon, was cut in half by Gu Zheng's Tang Mo. Then, a scream came from Esteemed Master Magic Saber, because his right hand, which was holding the Magic Saber, was also cut off by Gu Zheng.
"Get lost!"
Gu Zheng kicked out a wind dragon, which hit Esteemed Master Magic Saber's lower abdomen. At the same time, his Immortal Power Ball was destroyed, and at the same time, he flew to Jian Ying's side.
"Who told you to be so arrogant with me?"
Jian Ying, who was excited, shouted angrily and immediately set up a restriction on Esteemed Master Magic Saber.
Two of the four demon cultivators had been killed, and Gu Zheng flew toward Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng didn't run too far. After all, Gu Zheng's Fire Dragon had the ability to fight independently. After it sent Zhong Ning flying, it immediately targeted Xu Sheng.
Although Gu Zheng only used the Immortal Power of the Peak Void Return Stage to execute the Fire Dragon Spell. However, his Fire Dragon Spell was not released by the Spirit of the Five Elements. Instead, it was released by the Five Elements Immortal Ball, which didn't belong to common sense! Its power was not only enough to deal with cultivators at the Peak Void Return Stage, but also cultivators at the Intermediate Void Return Stage, such as Jin Xian.
"It's your turn now!"
Gu Zheng's voice sounded behind him, and Xu Sheng instantly broke out in cold sweat.
"The Heavenly Demonic Sect won't let you go. Our Sect Leader will be back soon!"
Xu Sheng, who was in deep despair, roared fiercely. A fire dragon had almost taken his life, not to mention the owner of the fire dragon was also coming.
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait for them to come!"
Gu Zheng sneered. Tang Mo passed through Xu Sheng's body and destroyed his Immortal Power Ball, but spared his life.
A restriction was placed on Xu Sheng's body and sealed his Divine Consciousness. Xu Sheng, who was full of resentment and malice, continued to roar and curse.
"Master, Gu Butong is about to escape!"
Jian Ying came over with Venerable Master Demonic Saber and Zhong Ning.
"Don't worry, he won't be able to escape!"
Gu Zheng sneered and said to Jian Ying, "Break all of Xu Sheng's teeth and treat him well!"
"Roger that!"
Jian Ying slapped all of Xu Sheng's teeth out of his mouth and stopped him from cursing. However, the pleasure on her face instantly turned into shock.
"Wow!"
Jian Ying exclaimed. She saw a pair of fiery red wings, which were two feet long, spread out behind Gu Zheng's back.
Like a meteor streaking across the sky, Gu Zheng caught up with Gu Butong, who had already flown to the island's Protective Immortal Array.
"Where are you going?"
Gu Zheng stopped right in front of Gu Butong and looked down at him from above.
"Gu Zheng, don't be so arrogant! Let me tell you, our Suzerain and a few Taishang Elders are not far from here. If you don't kill me, perhaps we can still reconcile this matter. If you kill me, my Heavenly Demon Sect will definitely fight to the death with your Emei Sect! "
Gu Butong's face had already turned pale. At this moment, he looked like a dog. Although his eyes were full of fear and his tail was tucked between his legs, he was still barking madly.
"Am I arrogant? Maybe! "
Gu Zheng smiled faintly, his eyes full of mockery. "Does your Heavenly Demonic Sect want to fight to the death with Emei Sect? Do you have the strength to do so? "
"Let me tell you, our Sect Leader is a cultivator who came to Earth during the late Jin Xian period. He can kill you easily!" Gu Butong gritted his teeth.
"Late Jin Xian period? You are not even fit to carry my shoes! "
Gu Zhen roared as he sent a palm strike towards Gu Butong's head, bringing with it an immense pressure.
Gu Butong's figure flickered, and he actually dodged Gu Zheng's slap. But before he could rejoice in his heart, Gu Zheng suddenly appeared behind him and slapped him hard on the head. He only felt a buzzing sound in his head, and then he lost consciousness.
