According to the cultivation method of the 'Star Fatal Blow', Gu Zheng focused on cultivating the 'Mind Separation Technique' so that he could reach a point where he would no longer be bored.
Cultivating the 'Mind Separation Technique' wasn't too tiring, so it didn't affect Gu Zheng from pouring immortal energy into the immortal formation.
Unknowingly, another two days passed. Gu Zheng's days were very dull. Every day, he would go back and forth in a very regular manner.
Compared to Gu Zheng's carefree life, Sun Cheng's days were a bit difficult. Ever since he offended Shang Hong in the 'Illusory Battlefield', he hadn't been having a good time.
First, someone deliberately came looking for trouble and caused some friction with him. Later, the immortal officials also started to make things difficult for him. In Sun Cheng's opinion, this bad luck was Shang Hong's way of pressuring him.
With the bad luck plaguing him, Sun Cheng didn't dare to go to the Yaoguang Peak to earn immortal coins. Now that he had some matters to attend to, he only wanted to obediently return to his cave. However, since the bad luck had caught up with him, it wasn't something that he could hide from even if he wanted to.
Seeing a person standing at the entrance of his cave from afar, Sun Cheng couldn't help but frown. He was originally chatting and laughing with his fellow cave mates in the same cave.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, what's wrong?"
Seeing Sun Cheng stop moving forward, the cave mate beside him asked.
"You guys go back first. I plan to take a look at the Yaoguang Peak!"
While speaking, Sun Cheng turned around and prepared to find a place to hide. This was because the person waiting outside was called Jiang Li. He was one of Shang Hong's lackeys.
"Mouse Sun, where are you going?"
Just as Sun Cheng turned around, Jiang Li's voice clearly sounded nearby.
Sun Cheng frowned and said with a smile, "So it's Fellow Daoist Jiang! Unfortunately, I have some matters to attend to today. I won't be chatting with Fellow Daoist Jiang anymore. "
After saying this, Sun Cheng immediately flew towards the Yaoguang Peak. However, Jiang Li's voice sounded again.
"Mouse Sun, I have something to talk to you about. Don't play dumb!"
Jiang Li's voice was filled with displeasure. However, Sun Cheng didn't stop there. Since bad luck had come looking for him, it would be better if it didn't happen to his cave mate.
Seeing that Sun Cheng had no intention of stopping, Jiang Li coldly snorted. A cloud suddenly appeared under his feet. He stepped on the cloud and chased after Sun Cheng.
"I'm afraid Sun Cheng is going to be in trouble."
"Yes! Shang Hong's lackey has come knocking on our door. This is definitely not a good thing. "
"Should we sneak a peek?"
"Forget it! Sun Cheng doesn't want us to face Jiang Li because he doesn't want us to see his predicament! "
"It doesn't matter. We're just taking a peek and disguising our Divine Sense. Sun Cheng shouldn't know it's us."
Seeing that Jiang Li was chasing after Sun Cheng, Sun Cheng's cave friends communicated with each other and immediately split a portion of their Divine Perception to follow.
After flying to a secluded place on the immortal mountain, Sun Cheng stopped and looked at the approaching Jiang Li.
A furious Jiang Lifei walked over and slapped Sun Cheng's face twice.
Sun Cheng was an early-stage Daluo Jinxian cultivator, while Jiang Li's cultivation was only at late-stage Jin Xian. Not only did he dare to slap Sun Cheng, but Sun Cheng also didn't dodge.
"Rat Sun, if you're so capable, are you still going to run?"
Jiang Li, with a clean face and dressed like a woman, looked at Sun Cheng arrogantly.
There was no anger on Sun Cheng's face, only numbness. He said, "What do you want from me? Speak!"
"Don't you know what it is?"
Jiang Li's anger had subsided a little, but seeing that Sun Cheng didn't know what was good for him, his eyes flashed with anger again.
"Fellow Daoist Bai and I are just acquaintances. My opinion can't influence him. No matter how much you target me, if he doesn't want to spar with Fellow Daoist Shang, he still won't!" Sun Cheng said.
"Is he really that kind of person? Rat Sun, there are times when you misjudge people? "
Facing Jiang Li's mockery, Sun Cheng didn't say anything.
Jiang Li thought for a while and said, "Since he's really that kind of person, then there's no point in targeting you. Help us pass a message to him! If he doesn't go to Alkaid Peak the day after tomorrow to find Fellow Daoist Shang, then he can forget about living in peace in the immortal camp! "
Seeing that Sun Cheng still didn't say anything, Jiang Li shouted angrily, "Rat Sun, are you deaf? Are you going to pass the message or not? "
"Pass the message."
Seeing that Sun Cheng finally spoke, Jiang Li nodded with satisfaction.
"My name is Jiang Li. I'm a reasonable person. Since you've agreed to pass the message, then the matter of Bai Zhu can be considered settled. However, even though the matter of Bai Zhu has been settled, you didn't stop when I called out to you! The resentment in my heart hasn't been completely eliminated yet! "
Jiang Li laughed strangely. He raised his hand and slapped Sun Cheng twice more. Only then did he exhale and look at Sun Cheng and say, "Great!"
"Is it settled?"
Not only that, Jiang Li also looked at Sun Cheng provocatively.
"It's settled."
Sun Cheng's face was still numb, but after being slapped four times in a row, his cheeks were already swollen.
Jiang Li left. He twisted his body and flew away like a woman. He felt very satisfied. If the other party wasn't Rat Sun, he wouldn't have had the chance to slap Daluo Jinxian.
"What a coward!"
"Yeah, disgusting!"
"I thought he was a smooth talker, but I didn't expect him to be such a coward!"
"Anyway, I can't stand this kind of thing. At most, I'll go all out. What can they do?"
"The great Daluo Jinxian was slapped by a Jin Xian. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death!"
"How embarrassing! To me, this is worse than killing me! "
"Let's go, let's go. Disgusting. I don't want to see him anymore!"
The reaction of the spying cave friends was even more intense than Sun Cheng's. They all sneered at Sun Cheng's reaction.
"Hehe."
Sensing that the spying cave friends had left, Sun Cheng smiled bitterly and crushed a blue immortal coin in his hand.
Although he looked numb, Sun Cheng's heart wasn't numb. It was just that he had to lower his head when he was under someone else's roof!
Taking a deep breath, Sun Cheng decided to look for Gu Zheng.
Outside the door of Gu Zheng's cave residence, Sun Cheng stretched out his hand and brushed the door. The originally hidden immortal array shone brightly.
The immortal array was square in shape and divided into four sections, corresponding to the four stone rooms in the cave residence.
Sun Cheng used his immortal energy to tap the second grid on the left of the immortal array. Immediately, the sound of flowing water could be heard from the stone room where Gu Zheng was.
Unfortunately, Gu Zheng was focused on cultivating in the statue space. The sound of someone coming to visit didn't disturb him.
After a while, Gu Zheng didn't appear. Sun Cheng sighed and left.
At the same time, Jiang Li arrived at Tianxuan Peak.
In terms of cultivation environment, Merak Peak had the best cultivation environment in the entire camp. There weren't many abodes here, and most of them were for the immortal officials. Only a small portion of them were 'reward abodes', for those who had achieved a certain number of consecutive victories in the illusory battlefield to live in.
Shang Hong originally had a 26 win streak. Yesterday, he had a 27 win streak. Naturally, he had an exclusive cave residence on Tianxuan Peak.
Jiang Li arrived at Shang Hong's cave residence and reported to him what happened after seeing Sun Cheng.
"As the saying goes, don't hit someone in the face. Aren't you afraid that Sun Cheng will seek revenge in the future?"
A rather fat man with a face full of smiles spoke. This person was also Shang Hong's lackey. His name was Qi Xiao.
"Seek revenge? Do you think I'll be afraid? He doesn't dare to do anything in the immortal camp. When he leaves the camp and wants revenge, I've already returned to my residence. If he has the guts, tell him to come find me at my residence! "
Jiang Li spoke very stubbornly. Those who didn't know him would think that he was the master of an immortal residence. In fact, he was just a servant.
"But to be honest, beating up a Daluo Jinxian early stage immortal cultivator feels really good!"
As Jiang Li spoke, he stroked his cheeks with intoxication. As a servant, he had been slapped many times during his growth.
"You're making me a little excited. I've killed a Daluo Jinxian early stage immortal cultivator before, but I've never slapped him. Now that I think about it, I can't remember when I last did it! The feeling of slapping someone and making them not dare to fight back should be very wonderful! "
Qi Xiao licked his lips. As a devil cultivator, there was a sense of restlessness in his bones. After following the rules in the Heaven Realm for so long, there was a sense of restlessness in his body.
"Haha!"
Looking at Qi Xiao's lewd expression, Shang Hong laughed.
"You said that if Rat Sun goes to pass the message, will Bai Zhu accept the challenge?" Shang Hong frowned.
"Fellow Daoist Shang, is this Bai Zhu really that special?" Qi Xiao asked curiously.
"He's rather special! I feel that this person should have some ability. "Shang Hong said.
"It doesn't matter if he has the ability or not, he doesn't know how to appreciate favors! Such a person, if he doesn't suffer a little, he will definitely not learn his lesson. Even if Rat Sun passes the message, I don't think he will go to Yaoguang Peak the day after tomorrow. "Qi Xiao said.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Shang Hong looked at Qi Xiao and smiled meaningfully.
Qi Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Fellow Daoist Shang, I'll teach that Bai a lesson!"
Shang Hong nodded and said, "Go, be careful when you do things!"
"Fellow Daoist Shang, don't worry, I know my limits!" Qi Xiao smiled sinisterly.
Half a day later.
As Shang Hong's lackey, Qi Xiao's work in the Immortal Camp was much easier than Gu Zheng's.
When Qi Xiao arrived outside Dubhe Peak, there were already nine people there. One of them was Sun Cheng.
Qi Xiao's work was the same as Sun Cheng's. To put it bluntly, they were patrolling the Immortal Array regularly.
The Immortal Array had a cycle. When the cycle came, the people in charge of patrolling had to enter the Immortal Array to check and do maintenance that was within their scope of work.
Gu Zheng and the others had to work for sixteen hours a day, while people like Qi Xiao and Sun Cheng, who were in charge of patrolling, only had to work for four hours a day.
Four hours of work was divided into two batches, one for every eight hours, and one for only an hour at a time. It was really very easy. And this kind of easy work, people like Gu Zheng and the others who had just arrived at the Immortal Camp, were simply unable to receive it.
When it was time to work, the ten people who were originally waiting outside Dubhe Peak entered the cave in Dubhe Peak and began their work.
"Hehe."
When Qi Xiao passed by Sun Cheng, he let out a sinister laugh.
Sun Cheng frowned. Qi Xiao's laughter made him uneasy, and also made him pay attention to Qi Xiao's actions.
Unknowingly, the time for an incense stick to burn had already passed. Qi Xiao, who was originally working obediently, slowly approached Gu Zheng's grid.
Immortal power flickered faintly on Qi Xiao's fingertips. He flicked the immortal array pattern on Gu Zheng's grid twice in a row.
Sun Cheng naturally saw what Qi Xiao had done. He knew what the consequences of Qi Xiao's actions would be.
Qi Xiao flicked the immortal array pattern twice in a row, causing Gu Zheng to have a false sense after a moment.
Under the influence of the false sense, Gu Zheng was bound to make the wrong immortal power adjustment. At that time, the immortal array would produce a strange sound, and the Immortal Official would immediately rush over.
Although the immortal array was not that weak, and some wrong immortal power adjustments could be remedied, the immortal array was after all related to the operation of the Heaven Realm. Even a small matter on it was a big matter! At that time, Gu Zheng would definitely suffer the wrath of the Immortal Official.
"Damn it!"
Sun Cheng cursed in his heart. He immediately walked to the side of the immortal array grid where Gu Zheng was. After flicking the immortal power on his fingertips a few times, he removed the disaster that Qi Xiao had buried.
"Rat Sun, are you courting death?" Qi Xiao transmitted his voice to Sun Cheng.
"Isn't this too much? If he is angered by the Immortal Official because of this, the sparring you want will definitely not be possible in a short period of time. "Sun Cheng said.
"Aiyo, rat Sun is actually righteous. I really admire you!"
Qi Xiao sized up Sun Cheng from head to toe, and then said, "Alright, since you don't want me to mess with him, then you have to be prepared to be messed with. Find a place and wait for me later!"
Looking at Qi Xiao's departing figure, Sun Cheng was so angry that his heart trembled. "You're too much of a bully. You want me to find a place and wait to be beaten, right? I, I … "
Despite the anger in his heart, Sun Cheng still found a place to wait for Qi Xiao, satisfying Qi Xiao's envy of Jiang Li. However, Qi Xiao was even more hateful than Jiang Li. When he slapped Sun Cheng's mouth, he used demonic arts. This caused Sun Cheng's face to not only swell up, but also have a pig-liver-like color. Even with immortal arts and immortal pills, it would take a while for it to subside.
"Fellow Daoist Sun …"
Flying towards his cave residence, Sun Cheng met a cave friend who was about to go to Yaoguang Peak.
"It's nothing."
Of course, Sun Cheng understood that the cave friend wanted to ask him about the injury on his face.
If it was in the past, Sun Cheng would definitely find an excuse to answer the cave friend's question. Even if the other party didn't believe him, it was still his attitude.
However, last time, Sun Cheng risked angering Jiang Li even more and chose to come to a secluded place to avoid the cave friend. However, in the end, Sun Cheng still didn't avoid the cave friend. These so-called cave friends really went to see how he would make a fool of himself! Although they could all disguise their divine sense, Sun Cheng could also see through the disguise.
After saying that it was nothing, Sun Cheng continued to fly in the direction of his cave residence. This made his cave friend feel very disdainful.
"What the hell? It's good that you can be so rude to others! The nickname Rat Sun is really not wrong. This is really a rat carrying a spear in his nest! "
Hearing the cave friend's blunt evaluation, Sun Cheng, who was already angry, became even angrier. He wanted to ask his cave friend what he had done wrong! However, in the end, the anger in his heart turned into a sigh.
"Fellow Daoist Sun!"
Just as Sun Cheng was flying with his head down, Gu Zheng's voice transmission sounded in his mind.
Sun Cheng turned around and looked at Gu Zheng, who was flying over, without saying anything.
Gu Zheng frowned. "Fellow Daoist, what happened to your face?"
"What happened to my face? This has nothing to do with Fellow Daoist Bai, right?"
Sun Cheng was angry. Although all this was caused by him wanting to befriend Gu Zheng, it was also because of Gu Zheng.
"What is going on?" Gu Zheng asked solemnly.
"What's the point of asking this now? When I went to look for you, you didn't even open the door! "Sun Cheng shook his head with a smile and turned to leave.
Gu Zheng blocked Sun Cheng's path. "I've been busy cultivating these past few days. If you called through the immortal array, I didn't hear you at all. Tell me, what happened to you?"
Looking at Gu Zheng's serious face, Sun Cheng suddenly felt very wronged. He told Gu Zheng everything that had happened in the past two days.
After hearing Sun Cheng's story, Gu Zheng's anger immediately rose. He had thought that Shang Hong would cause trouble for Sun Cheng, but he didn't expect Shang Hong's people to go so far.
With Gu Zheng's character, it wasn't impossible for Shang Hong to spar if he wanted to! However, the specific time couldn't be decided by Shang Hong. It still depended on Gu Zheng's intentions.
Last time in the Illusory Battlefield, he had already spread the word, so Gu Zheng planned to spar with Shang Hong in seven days at most! However, Gu Zheng never expected that Shang Hong, in order to force him to spar earlier, would actually let people tamper with the immortal array lattice he was in charge of.
Looking at Gu Zheng's narrowed eyes and a cold smile on his face, Sun Cheng could feel his anger.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, putting aside the fact that I helped you in your immortal array today, I want to know in your heart, if something happened to me, would you care?"
Sun Cheng looked at Gu Zheng very seriously. Just as he said last time in the Illusory Battlefield, he initially wanted to befriend Gu Zheng only because he wanted to have more friends and more options. However, Shang Hong tied the two of them together!
For Sun Cheng, helping Gu Zheng in the immortal array today was not because he wanted to move Gu Zheng after the incident, but because he was resisting the power that he couldn't resist!
If he hadn't met Gu Zheng today, after Sun Cheng called outside Gu Zheng's cave and didn't answer the door, he would have already decided not to disturb Gu Zheng anymore.
"I would have helped you. After all, this happened because of you! I thought that Shang Hong might cause trouble for you these two days, but I didn't expect his people to go so far! The reason why I didn't look for you these two days was because I wanted to see how you would react to my cold attitude, "Gu Zheng said.
"Aren't you afraid that I will die because of this?"
Hearing Gu Zheng's reason, Sun Cheng's eyes widened.
"Die? That's too exaggerated. How much hatred do you have? "Gu Zheng shook his head.
"I don't make friends easily. Once I make friends, they are real friends."
Gu Zheng patted Sun Cheng's shoulder seriously and said, "Sun Cheng, you are my friend now!"
Looking at the sincerity in Gu Zheng's eyes, Sun Cheng thought about the experience of being rejected. He didn't dare to believe that this was true.
"Since my friend is being bullied, I naturally can't sit by and do nothing. Where do they live? Let's go find them now! "
Gu Zheng's tone was very calm, but it was so calm that it made Sun Cheng excited. Because when Sun Cheng heard Gu Zheng's words, he felt a kind of aura that made his heart tremble. This kind of aura could only come from people with absolute confidence.
"Their, their cave is at Tianxuan Peak. That's where the immortal officials live. Don't be rash, Fellow Daoist Bai!" Sun Cheng said anxiously.
"Sun Cheng, although I treat you as a friend, there is one thing I don't like about you! You have been slapped in the face by others, and you still don't want to resist? This is the Immortal Domain, if worst comes to worst, everyone will be punished! Now that I am bringing you to get back at them, I am not afraid, so what are you afraid of? "Gu Zheng said with a frown.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, there is something you don't know!"
Sun Cheng smiled bitterly and then told Gu Zheng his difficulties.
Sun Cheng had offended Shang Hong before. This was something that Gu Zheng knew from the 'Illusory Battlefield' last time.
But what Gu Zheng didn't know was that Sun Cheng wasn't simply dealt with that time. He was hit by Shang Hong and suffered a strange internal injury. This internal injury caused him to not dare to fight with others for two months. Once he fought with others, he would immediately suffer a serious backlash! And it was precisely because Jiang Li knew about this situation that he dared to slap him.
Gu Zheng smiled, "Internal injury? Let me examine your body! "
Sun Cheng relaxed his body and Gu Zheng quickly finished examining his body.
"Your internal injuries might be difficult for others to treat, but they're nothing to me! Let's go, let's go to Tianxuan Peak first. After the matter over there is settled, I will treat your injury! "
The moment Gu Zheng finished speaking, he immediately flew towards Tianxuan Peak.
Sun Cheng was a little stunned. He didn't think that Gu Zheng was boasting, but he didn't expect that Gu Zheng actually had the ability to treat difficult and complicated illnesses.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, wait for me!" Sun Cheng shouted at Gu Zheng.
After arriving at Yaoguang Peak, Gu Zheng shouted through the immortal array on the cave dwelling door.
The cave dwelling door slowly opened. The person standing behind the door was Jiang Li.
Jiang Li looked at Gu Zheng and his eyes widened. Then he beamed and said, "What? You came to visit? "
In Jiang Li's view, Gu Zheng came to visit other than to reconcile, there was no other reason. After all, Shang Hong was very powerful and had very strong connections in the immortal camp. Fighting with Shang Hong here was obviously asking for trouble.
"Yes, I came to visit!"
Gu Zheng sneered and kicked at Jiang Li's stomach.
Jiang Li was shocked. He didn't expect that Gu Zheng would really come to attack him! Facing Gu Zheng's kick, he wanted to dodge, but the violent energy of heaven and earth had already bound him, making him unable to move at all!
"Ah …"
Jiang Li screamed in pain. Gu Zheng's kick landed on his stomach and sent him flying.
Gu Zheng walked forward. Sun Cheng was responsible for setting up a restriction on the door to prevent the people in this cave dwelling from asking for help from the immortal officials on Tianxuan Peak.
"Rumble …"
A door on the stone wall opened and Qi Xiao walked out after hearing Jiang Li's scream.
"Bai Zhu!"
Seeing that it was Bai Zhu, Jiang Li's eyes narrowed.
"That's right!"
Gu Zheng sneered and kicked again.
Although Qi Xiao's cultivation was at the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian, he also couldn't dodge Gu Zheng's kick. After being kicked solidly in the stomach, he screamed in pain and flew out like Jiang Li.
On the way here, there was a division of labor. Gu Zheng was in charge of opening the way and Sun Cheng was in charge of cleaning up.
Now, Jiang Li and Qi Xiao had both been kicked in the stomach by Gu Zheng. The unique energy of the black hole also entered their bodies with Gu Zheng's kick and temporarily sealed their immortal power balls.
Sun Cheng flew to the side of the terrified Jiang Li and Qi Xiao and began to set up restrictions on their bodies so that they could be completely at the mercy of others for a certain period of time.
"How dare you, Rat Sun!"
Jiang Li and Qi Xiao screamed at the same time. They thought that Sun Cheng was going to cripple their cultivation.
"Bang!"
Accompanied by Jiang Li and Qi Xiao's screams, the stone door outside Shang Hong's room was shattered by Gu Zheng's kick.
