Foggy Wind Island was the first overseas island that Gu Zheng owned on Earth. He had the deepest feelings for this island.
Compared to the other three islands, the existence of Foggy Wind Island was not a secret in the Cultivation World. However, it was the last of the four islands to fall. The cultivators of Emei knew that this island was of great significance to the whole of Emei!
When Foggy Wind Island had become the territory of Emei, it had made countless sects that wanted to attack Foggy Wind Island envious. It had also become a symbol of Emei's glory. Especially in the current situation, Emei Mountain had been attacked. If they lost this last island, their so-called glory would really cease to exist. They would really be trampled into the mud.
Therefore, several sects that came to attack Foggy Wind Island were resisted by Emei and the allied forces. However, it was finally conquered by the Xuanming Sect more than 20 days ago.
Foggy Wind Island was not far away, so Gu Zheng became more anxious. There were only 20 days left until Foggy Wind Island was conquered. Gu Zheng hoped that the people of the Xuanming Sect had not had time to kill the islanders.
Gu Zheng was lucky. Things were as he had expected. There were still more than 3,000 islanders on Foggy Wind Island, and they were not poisoned. Other than the temple and the Heaven Will Sect that had been destroyed, the Xuanming Sect had not had time to modify Foggy Wind Island after conquering it. Therefore, the environment of Foggy Wind Island was not destroyed, and the ordinary islanders were spared.
After conquering Foggy Wind Island, they did not have time to modify it. This was because the higher-ups of the Xuanming Sect had been summoned by the Demonic Dao Alliance and had not returned yet. There were only two cultivators of the Xuanming Sect on the island, who were of a lower realm. They had been killed by Gu Zheng as if they were ants.
Although they did not suffer too much, when the islanders of Foggy Wind Island saw Gu Zheng return, they were extremely excited and fanatical. Their cries and shouts did not stop for a long time.
To Gu Zheng, he had the deepest feelings for Foggy Wind Island. How could the islanders not feel the same way?
After comforting the islanders, Gu Zheng didn't stay on Foggy Wind Island for long and flew back to Morning Cloud Island.
As of now, Gu Zheng had already reclaimed three islands. Although he hadn't stayed on the three islands for long, he had made some arrangements. If there were Devil Cultivator who had designs on these three islands, he would immediately know and be able to rush back in the shortest amount of time.
Morning Dawn Island wasn't close to Foggy Wind Island, and it had been occupied for a long time. Gu Zheng didn't dare to be too optimistic about the situation of the islanders on this island.
Even if Gu Zheng wasn't optimistic, the situation on the island was still beyond Gu Zheng's imagination! There was not a single living person here. All the islanders had died tragically. The entire island was shrouded in a gloomy and miserable atmosphere.
Anger, incomparable anger flowed in Gu Zheng's heart! He waved his hand in the air, and the Law of Time immediately reversed the flow of time.
With Gu Zheng's current cultivation, the Law of Time wasn't enough to bring the dead back to life. What he needed to do was reverse the flow of time and see what had happened here. After all, the islanders hadn't been dead for long. This was within the scope of his Law of Time.
What was affected by the Law of Time wasn't reality. The scene of the time reversal was displayed in the void, where the silence had turned into screams and wails, and then from the hell on earth where the screams and wails had turned into the source of the incident.
Gu Zheng's brows furrowed. The scene that was rapidly rewinding in the void slowed down and moved forward at a normal speed.
The time was right after Yu Yang left and the four Devil Cultivators returned to Morning Dawn Island.
"Big Brother, what should we do?"
Ding Fei looked at Xi Hao from above Morning Dawn Island.
"Who knows what the Devil Dao Alliance's strategy is? They want us to stay here and wait to meet Gu Zheng head-on? Does Yu Yang really think we're all fools? "
Before Xi Hao could speak, Hou Hualin sneered.
"We definitely won't stay here. Since Gu Zheng has the strength to reclaim Violet Yan Island, it's not worth it to stay and fight him! Although Yu Yang agreed to give us the position, this matter hasn't been settled yet. We're not part of the alliance yet. Even if we give up Morning Dawn Island, we won't have anything to say in the future if someone uses this against us, "Fan Haining said.
Xi Hao looked at the islanders below and sighed. "Brothers, what you said is exactly what I'm thinking. But it's really a pity to give up Morning Dawn Island! After conquering Morning Dawn Island, we set up an immortal formation suitable for Devil Dao cultivation. Because of this, we spent a lot of resources. Once we leave, all of this will turn to nothing! The immortal formation is a small matter. The most important thing is these 'medicine men'! "
"We'll just destroy everything we can't take with us," Ding Fei said coldly.
"There are still more than two thousand islanders on the island. We spent a lot of resources to cultivate these 'medicine men'! They're also what we'll rely on to improve our Devil Dao cultivation in the future. Are we really going to give them up? "Hou Hualin frowned.
"No one is willing to do that!"
Looking at the islanders below, Fan Haining licked his lips.
There was a moment of silence.
Xi Hao narrowed his eyes and said through gritted teeth, "Kill them and take their souls. Don't leave a single one alive!"
"If we really kill these islanders, we won't rest until Gu Zheng is dead!" Fan Haining reminded.
"Gu Zheng is definitely someone who will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. We've conquered Morning Dawn Island, so we won't rest until he's dead! So don't think that you can get his forgiveness by letting these islanders go. "Xi Hao sneered.
"Okay!"
The hesitation only lasted for a moment. After Xi Hao said that, Fan Haining's eyes flashed with excitement.
Following this, a bloody and brutal scene unfolded. The four demonic cultivators unleashed their techniques and slaughtered all of the residents of Morning Dawn Island, capturing their souls.
The corner of Gu Zheng's mouth twitched. When he closed his eyes, although the scene in the air disappeared, the scene in his mind was still the screams of the elderly, women, and children before they died, as well as the islanders cursing the four Devil Dao cultivators and calling for their God in their hearts!
"Ding Fei, Hou Hualin, Fan Haining, Xi Hao!"
Gu Zheng opened his eyes as he recited the names of the four Devil Dao cultivators. His gaze was as cold as ice.
"My people, rest in peace! I, Gu Zheng, promise you today that your curses will come true on Ding Fei, Hou Hualin, Fan Haining, and Xi Hao. If I can't do this, I, Gu Zheng, am not worthy of being your God! "
After making the promise, Gu Zheng waved his hand and brought the corpses of more than two thousand islanders to the mountain of Morning Dawn Island.
The Five Elements Immortal Sphere in his body vibrated and the mountain cracked in front of Gu Zheng. The rocks fell off in an orderly manner.
After a while, Gu Zheng buried the bodies of the islanders in the mountain.
"Rumble!"
The mountain where the islanders were buried closed and Gu Zheng used Tang Mo to carve a tombstone on it to engrave his promise.
"I originally planned to return to Emei after recovering Morning Dawn Island, but now it seems that I have to do something."
"The Blood Transformation Sect, the Heavenly Demon Sect, the four Devil Dao cultivators, the Stygian Sect, and the Alliance of the Devil Dao!"
"The Heavenly Demon Sect is basically finished. The whereabouts of the four Devil Dao cultivators are unknown and the main figures of the Stygian Sect have all gone to the Alliance of the Devil Dao."
Gu Zheng really wanted to kill his way to the Alliance of the Devil Dao, but the exact location of the Alliance of the Devil Dao was a secret. For example, if a Devil Dao cultivator of Yu Yang's level wanted to go to the Alliance of the Devil Dao, they would first have to wait at a specific place. That place had a restriction. Once someone went there, the disciples in charge of the Alliance of the Devil Dao would discover them and take them away with a flying immortal artifact.
On the way to the Alliance of the Devil Dao using the flying immortal artifact, the Devil Dao cultivators would lose their five senses and their Divine Sense would be sealed. They would only return to normal when they reached the Alliance. Therefore, the location of the Alliance of the Devil Dao had always been a secret.
"Since the location of the Alliance of the Devil Dao is a secret, let's go to the Blood Transformation Sect's lair now!"
Among the several sects that Gu Zheng hated to the core, he only knew the location of the Blood Transformation Sect's lair. This was the Blood Transformation Sect's bad luck.
According to the soul search on the bearded Devil Dao cultivator and the others on the Emerald Peach Island, Gu Zheng knew that there were still six Devil Dao cultivators in the Blood Transformation Sect.
The remaining six Devil Dao cultivators in the Blood Transformation Sect varied in strength. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation was the Grand Elder of the Blood Transformation Sect, Diao Ying.
Although Diao Ying was an early Jin Xian cultivator who returned to Earth, he was still able to stand firm in the Devil Dao because he had a top immortal artifact.
The Blood Transformation Sect's lair was in the Weibao Mountain, where there used to be a second-rate Cultivator Sect. After the Blood Transformation Sect destroyed the second-rate Cultivator Sect, they took root in the Taoist temple of the original Cultivator Sect.
Nothing happened on the way, but when Gu Zheng flew to the Weibao Mountain, he found that a fierce battle was taking place in the Blood Transformation Sect's lair.
The battle was composed of two sides. One side was the Blood Transformation Sect's people, and the other side was the Shushan Sect's people.
The battle was coming to an end. Both the Blood Transformation Sect and the Shushan Sect had suffered heavy casualties, but overall, the Shushan Sect's people were at a disadvantage. After all, there were still three Cultivators in the Blood Transformation Sect. They were Diao Ying and the other two Grand Elders of the Blood Transformation Sect. There were only two Cultivators left in the Shushan Sect, whom Gu Zheng had never seen before. Their strength was not bad, so they were ready to evacuate when they saw that the situation was hopeless.
"You want to leave? It's not that easy!"
Diao Ying was furious when his sect was attacked. He immediately flew into the air to chase the two Cultivators of the Shushan Sect.
"Stop right there!"
The two Grand Elders of the Blood Transformation Sect followed Diao Ying and flew into the air. One of them shouted and took out an immortal weapon that looked like a box.
"Buzz buzz buzz …"
The box opened in the air and a lot of fog-like Ghost Bees flew out of it. There were more than a thousand of these Ghost Bees. They flew behind the two Cultivators of the Shushan Sect at an extremely fast speed and accelerated into their bodies!
The two Cultivators of the Shushan Sect had to stop. One of them waved the immortal sword in his hand. Suddenly, sword shadows all over the sky formed a light curtain, bouncing back all the Ghost Bees. At the same time, sword Qi shot toward Diao Ying and the others who were chasing them.
"Ten Thousand Swords Return to Sect!"
The other Cultivator of the Shushan Sect pointed his sword at Diao Ying and the others. The immortal sword on his back came out with a clang. After it was suspended in the air, countless sword-shaped phantoms shot toward Diao Ying and the others.
"Demon Heart Bodhi!"
Diao Ying took out his top immortal weapon that made people fear him.
The blood-red immortal weapon was the size of a palm. It looked like a bodhi seed, but also like a heart. While it was beating, the powerful sound waves not only scattered the sword Qi and sword-shaped phantoms all over the sky, but also made the two Cultivators of the Shushan Sect let out a muffled groan. They had to divert their attention to resist the attack of the sound waves.
"Let's go!"
One of the Cultivators of the Shushan Sect took out an array disc. Suddenly, a powerful protective light curtain appeared on the two of them. With the protection of the light curtain, they wanted to quickly distance themselves from Diao Ying and the others.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
One of the Grand Elders of the Blood Transformation Sect sneered. His whole body turned into mist, and he turned into a blood-red ghost. The ghost was also very fast. It caught up with the two Cultivators of the Shushan Sect. Like a ball of thread, it entangled the two Cultivators with its mist-like body.
"I'll turn you into vengeful spirits in the Demon Heart Bodhi!"
Diao Ying's Demon Heart Bodhi flew to the top of the red ghost and suddenly expanded to the size of a house. The thumping sound became even faster.
"Ah …"
One of the Cultivators entangled in the ball of thread didn't even last for two breaths of time before he screamed in pain. The light curtain formed by the array disc, as well as the Immortal Force in his body, was absorbed by the Demon Heart Bodhi like mist.
A black ray of light suddenly attacked the Demon Heart Bodhi. It was particularly dazzling in the clear sky.
"Who's there?"
Diao Ying's hand seals changed. Just as the black saber-light struck the Demon Heart Bodhi, she pulled it back into her hand.
Gu Zheng was still in the distance when she slashed with the saber. While Diao Ying was talking, he had already flown to the front.
Gu Zheng glanced at the two Cultivators of Shushan he saved, then sneered at Diao Ying. "The one who's going to kill you!"
"Boy, don't bite your tongue in the wind. You …"
One of the Grand Elders of the Blood Transformation Sect sneered. But then, he couldn't continue his words, and his eyes widened in an instant.
"You, you're Gu Zheng?"
The other Cultivator of the Blood Transformation Sect also widened his eyes.
"It's good that you know who killed you. I greet you on behalf of Sun Hu and the other two!"
The Sun Hu that Gu Zheng spoke of was the big bearded Demon Cultivator on Emerald Peach Island. As he spoke, Tang Mo in Gu Zheng's hand shook. A spiral of black light shot out and went straight for the abdomen of the Demon Cultivator who spoke just now.
"Save me!"
The Demon Cultivator targeted by Gu Zheng changed his expression. The powerful force of the black light made it difficult for him to move. It also made him feel that no matter how he dodged, it would be wrong.
Diao Ying and the other Demon Cultivator naturally wouldn't watch their companion die without doing anything! They immediately launched an attack on the black light and Gu Zheng. Unfortunately, their attacks on the black light were ignored, and their attacks on Gu Zheng were like clay oxen entering the sea! Diao Ying's companion had his dantian destroyed without any resistance in front of their eyes, turning him into a cripple.
"Die!"
Diao Ying was furious. He spat out a mouthful of blood on the Demon Heart Bodhi in the air. The Demon Heart Bodhi instantly became like a mountain and smashed toward Gu Zheng with blood energy swirling around it.
Diao Ying was even using the blood from the tip of his tongue. He was going all out! By using this method to activate the Immortal Weapon, he was sacrificing eight thousand to injure the enemy. Under the activation of his heart's blood, the Demon Heart Bodhi's power was greatly increased.
"Trash!"
Gu Zheng sneered. He raised Tang Mo in his hand and slashed out in a seemingly slow manner.
The seemingly slow slash was actually an illusion due to the influence of the force. This slash actually contained eighty-one slashes. This was Gu Zheng's current strongest saber technique — the Demonic Frenzy Saber.
As Immortal Cultivators who had suppressed their cultivation to stay on Earth, although they were all at the peak of the Void Return Stage on the surface, they actually had an advantage in many aspects compared to those who were truly at the peak of the Void Return Stage.
For example, if Gu Zheng's cultivation was truly at the peak of the Void Return Stage, then he would definitely suffer a backlash when using a domineering Immortal Technique like the Demonic Frenzy Saber.
Another example would be if Diao Ying's cultivation was truly at the peak of the Void Return Stage, then he would also suffer a backlash when using a top-grade Immortal Weapon. After all, a top-grade Immortal Weapon was not a treasure that a Void Return Stage cultivator could perfectly control.
However, regardless of whether it was Gu Zheng or Diao Ying, they would not suffer a backlash when using the Demonic Frenzy Saber or top-grade Immortal Weapon. This was because their true cultivation had already reached the point where they could easily control these Immortal Techniques or Immortal Weapons.
Moreover, on Earth where one's cultivation was suppressed, Immortal Weapons had an advantage over Immortal Techniques! For example, although Gu Zheng would not suffer a backlash when using the Demonic Frenzy Saber, the Demonic Frenzy Saber was still being used at the peak of the Void Return Stage. Thus, its power would still be somewhat lacking.
However, Immortal Weapons were not humans. They were less restricted by the laws of Earth. In such a large environment, the power that a good Immortal Weapon could unleash was naturally more impressive. It was also for this reason that the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect were unable to take down Emei in the end by relying on the top-grade Immortal Weapon, the Chaos Pagoda.
Diao Ying had originally thought that even if he could not kill Gu Zheng with his powerful attack, he would definitely be able to severely injure Gu Zheng. After all, in such a large environment, the power that a top-grade Immortal Weapon could unleash was really great.
However, what Diao Ying did not expect was that the black Tang Saber in Gu Zheng's hand and the saber technique he used were both so terrifying.
When Gu Zheng was still in the Wilderness, he had used his immortal power to conceal the aura of Tang Mo, a top-grade Immortal Weapon, so that on the surface, it would appear to be an inconspicuous middle-grade Immortal Weapon. If not for this, just based on the few battles he had fought back on Earth, he was afraid that once he took out Tang Mo, a top-grade Immortal Weapon, he would be able to scare off many enemies.
"No!"
Diao Ying roared at the top of his lungs. The powerful saber technique unleashed by a top-grade Immortal Weapon completely shattered his beautiful dream.
Diao Ying understood that even if his opponent was only at the Peak Return to Void Stage, under such circumstances, this saber technique would be enough to end the battle. After all, his Demon Heart Bodhi was only a low-grade Immortal Weapon among top-grade Immortal Weapons. However, the terrifying aura emitted by the black Tang Saber indicated that it was a high-grade Immortal Weapon.
"Let's go!"
Diao Ying reminded his companions who were already scared out of their wits. As for himself, despair appeared in his eyes and his body did not move at all.
The Demon Heart Bodhi was Diao Ying's Natal Immortal Weapon. If his Natal Immortal Weapon was destroyed, the owner would suffer a huge backlash. Under such circumstances, there was no difference whether he ran or not.
Bam!
Amidst a deafening boom, the black saber light finally collided with the Demon Heart Bodhi.
Although it seemed like a simple collision, it was actually eighty-one exchanges. When the black saber light disappeared, Diao Ying spat out a large mouthful of blood. The Demon Heart Bodhi in the air instantly disintegrated into a large pile of blood-red fragments that fell from the sky.
