In the little dog beast's memory, although it had never interacted with the Toad Beast King, it knew that the Toad Beast King had a high level of intelligence.
Gu Zheng felt that a ferocious beast with a high level of intelligence, and the king of this area, should be able to provide him with some useful information.
"Come out!"
Gu Zheng's voice was like a storm that swept into the Toad Beast King's cave.
After a while, an 'old man' with many lumps on his head walked out of the cave.
Gu Zheng had thought that even if the Toad Beast King had a high level of intelligence, it would not be able to transform. After all, it was not easy for ferocious beasts to transform, and the Toad Beast King's cultivation was not very high. However, the Toad Beast King had transformed, and this so-called 'old man' did indeed look like an old man.
The higher the level of intelligence, the easier things would be. Gu Zheng immediately used his Divine Will to tell the 'old man' that he wanted to perform a Soul Search on him.
Gu Zheng's attitude was very tough. If he did not want to die, he could only do as he said. After all, no matter which plane one was in, strength was respected.
The 'old man' did not express any objections. He extended his head that was full of lumps towards Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng did not stand on ceremony and immediately performed a Soul Search on him. The 'old man' did not dare to play any tricks.
Through the Soul Search on the 'old man', Gu Zheng had a better understanding of this world outside the circle. It was indeed a bigger plane than the Eldritch World, and it was similarly divided into regions. Now, all the places that Gu Zheng had been to in this plane belonged to the extremely remote and barren lands of the 'Xi Jiang'.
The people who had dealt with Die Ling and the angry man were considered to be from a relatively large 'sect' organization in the Xi Jiang. The few people that Gu Zheng had seen in the Time Reversal were the higher-ups of this' sect '.
After obtaining useful information, Gu Zheng immediately used Meteor Chasing Moon to rush towards the 'sect' that the few people were in.
At the same time.
In a huge mountain gate on the outskirts of the Liuhua County in the Xi Jiang, a man dressed in colorful clothes like a butterfly opened his eyes from a state of sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
The world outside the circle was different from the Untainted Land. There were Demonic Cultivators who could transform into human beings after they reached a certain level. Although they looked similar to humans, they still looked very weird. Their aesthetic standards were also different. For example, in the Untainted Land, if a man dressed like a butterfly, it was definitely not a normal aesthetic dress.
In addition to his strange clothes, the butterfly-like man also looked very strange. His mouth was a meat tube that was not too long, and there were four small eyes that were arranged in a diamond-shaped pattern on his forehead, which looked like an insect's compound Eyes.
After the butterfly man opened opened his eyes, his eyes, the four eyes on his forehead quickly.... and he was using his means, he had used a deduction.....
A moment later, the butterfly man sent a telepathic message. Soon, four other weird-looking guys arrived in the room he was in.
"Big Brother, why did you call us over in such a hurry? What happened?"
Among the four weird-looking fellows, a burly man who was three meters tall and had a round waist spoke. He was the one who looked the most like a human among them. At the very least, he didn't have any of the characteristics of a monster on the surface. At this time, the few people in the room had all participated in the battle in the ruins.
"The two life forms outside the circle that we caught in the ruins a few years ago have now caused us trouble. I just divined that the people who saved them have now entered the Liuhua County," the butterfly man said.
"Big Brother, how many people came to save them?"
A demonic being with two heads, like a gorilla, and wearing golden armor spoke. According to the address in the Eldritch World, these people should call the butterfly man 'Sect Master'. However, in this world outside the circle, organizations similar to sects called the sect master and sect master 'Big Brother' or 'Big Sister'.
"There are two. One of them should be very dangerous. That's why I called you all over to discuss," the butterfly man said.
"Big Brother, what's there to discuss? Since they are here, they can forget about leaving. Just catch them."
The only female among the four spoke. Her appearance was not ugly according to the aesthetic standards of the Eldritch World. It could only be considered very demonic. She had a typical wasp waist and fat buttocks.
"Yes, there's nothing to discuss. If we can kill them, we can also see if they brought any good things from outside the circle."
The person who spoke was so skinny that it was hard to believe. He looked like a frog standing on its hind legs.
"The situation now is not like eleven years ago. Eleven years ago, we were eight against two."
The butterfly man frowned. He picked up a bowl of bloody wine and slowly drank it. He was obviously thinking about what to do.
"Let's see how the situation goes."
After a while, the butterfly man spoke. Now that they had not seen the enemy, it was hard to say.
After a while.
"The person in charge, come out!"
A voice from outside the mountain gate entered the ears of the butterfly man and the others.
The butterfly man and the others all stood up. The voice that entered their ears was not loud and did not sound aggressive.
"Let's go and take a look!"
The butterfly man flew out of the mountain gate with everyone and saw Gu Zheng and Meow Meow standing outside the mountain gate.
"A few years ago, you captured two of my people in the ruins. Today, I'm here to ask for them." Gu Zheng went straight to the point.
"Your people took my things. If they take them out, I can let them go."
The butterfly man's compound eye lit up a few times. The sense of danger in his heart intensified.
"I didn't want to cause trouble. I want to see my people first and ask them about the situation." Gu Zheng said.
"Do you think you are …"
"Okay!"
The two-headed gorilla's irritable words were interrupted by the butterfly man before he could finish.
"Big Brother, this person is so arrogant. Who does he think he is? Let's kill him together! "The two-headed gorilla transmitted its voice to the butterfly man.
"If he dares to speak so arrogantly, he must have a certain level of strength. Moreover, the person who is talking to us right now isn't his true self. Everyone, please calm down! "
The butterfly man's compound eye lit up a few times before because he saw that the Gu Zheng in front of him was not his original body! This was something that Gu Zheng did not expect. After all, the Earth Embryo Clone was the most difficult to see through. The reason why he could see through Xiao Qi's clone was because of the weapon spirit.
"Take a look if you want to!"
The thin frog eerily chuckled. The black robes on his body opened up and Gu Zhengde could see that there was an hourglass-like object embedded in his skinny abdomen. And in the two spaces of this object, the butterfly spirit and the angry man were trapped, respectively.
The skinny frog flicked the hourglass gently and a halo swept across the hourglass. The butterfly spirit and the angry man opened their eyes at the same time.
"Master!"
When they opened their eyes and saw Gu Zheng, the butterfly spirit and the angry man immediately cheered.
Gu Zheng's clone nodded to the butterfly spirit and the angry man, then asked, "They said you took their things. What's going on?"
"Master, it's like this …"
The butterfly spirit began to tell Gu Zheng the whole story. Through her explanation, Gu Zheng also learned what had happened to them.
A few years ago, although the butterfly spirit and the angry man did not obtain anything in the main hall of the ruins, during their previous exploration, they obtained a treasure chest in a side hall. The thing that the butterfly man said belonged to them was this treasure chest.
The butterfly spirit and the angry man were trapped in the hourglass and did not suffer any damage. The main characteristic of the hourglass was to trap them and slowly wear them down. If they had stayed in the hourglass for another two years, they would have become trash who could not use their immortal power and spirit sense. They would have been at the mercy of the butterfly man and the others.
In the past few years that they were trapped in the hourglass, the skinny frog had asked the butterfly spirit for the chest many times, but the butterfly spirit had never agreed to give it to him. There were two reasons. One was that there were some things in the chest that Gu Zheng could use, such as ingredients from outside the circle and a small amount of resources to repair the Star Ruins Mountain. The other reason was that without the chest, there was almost no guarantee of safety. Who knew what the skinny frog and the others would do.
"You've already obtained most of the treasures in the ruins. If it's just this box, you've trapped my people for so many years. Take it as compensation. Let my people go, and we'll forget about this matter, okay?"
Gu Zheng did not want to cause trouble. This was the world outside the circle. It was a battlefield that was disadvantageous to them. Moreover, because they did not know enough, there was a greater possibility of unexpected variables! Therefore, Gu Zheng's plan was to avoid trouble when dealing with this matter.
"Are you dreaming or are you used to being domineering in your plane? This is not your plane. Not even a blade of grass here belongs to you, let alone a treasure chest! "
The skinny frog was very angry. The others, except for the butterfly man, all had similar expressions.
Gu Zheng's doppelganger frowned. He thought for a while and said, "Okay! It's okay if you don't want the treasure chest. Let my people go and I'll give you the treasure chest! "
"Why do I feel that you are not sincere at all? You came to our plane and were caught by us. You don't want to give us benefits to ransom them. Instead, you want to take advantage of us and not lose out? How can there be such a good thing in the world! "
The woman with the wasp waist smiled and said, "I'm really curious. This is the world outside the circle that is disadvantageous to you. Why are you so bold? What gave you the courage to do this? Are we too kind? "
The woman with the wasp waist was right. This was indeed the world outside the circle that was disadvantageous to Gu Zheng and the others. The most obvious difference was that the energy contained in the air was not the Immortal Core Power of the Untainted Land. If it was just meditation, it was not impossible to convert the energy here into Immortal Core Power that could be absorbed. For example, Gu Zheng created the 'Nine Months Food Cultivation', or the energy conversion through the Immortal Formation.
However, if it was a battle of magical powers, the disadvantages would be magnified! For visitors from the Untainted Land like Gu Zheng and the others, their Immortal Core Power would be depleted. It was impossible for them to absorb it while consuming it. If they wanted to replenish their Immortal Core Power here, they could only rely on pills like the Immortal Core Power Pill. However, to replenish one's Immortal Core Power with the Immortal Core Power required time to guide the vigorous Immortal Core Power that suddenly appeared in one's body. Otherwise, the collision of Immortal Core Power would cause internal injuries, which would be counterproductive! Therefore, the method of replenishing one's Immortal Core Power with the Immortal Core Power was not practical in a battle of magical powers where there were thousands of changes in an instant.
More importantly, because the energy contained in the air was different, all the Immortal Arts that needed to be strengthened by the energy of heaven and earth would be greatly reduced! Although Immortal Core Power did not represent the energy of heaven and earth, it was the main component of the energy of heaven and earth.
"The energy of heaven and earth is different, but the Great Dao is the same. When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, it will be a competition of the energy of heaven and earth and the control of the power of Tao."
Gu Zheng's avatar paused and said coldly, "The reason why I am so bold is really because I am used to being overbearing in my plane! As far as I'm concerned, I'm already making a big concession by offering what I just offered. If you don't even agree to my conditions just now, then this matter can only be solved through fighting! If you want to solve the problem through fighting, you also have to consider your disadvantages. This is your mountain gate, and there are many of your subordinates here. You are not afraid of death, but what about your subordinates? Won't it be a pity if they die? Moreover, once the fight starts, the conditions I offered before will be declared null and void! "
"Are you threatening me?"
The butterfly man frowned. No matter what, he was still a big brother. Even if he was afraid of Gu Zheng, he would naturally lose face when someone came to his mountain gate and threatened him.
"Yes, I am threatening you. Whether you accept my conditions or not, the choice is in your hands." Gu Zheng's avatar said.
"You are courting death!"
The two-headed gorilla roared. While the two heads roared, they also spewed flames and ice mist at Gu Zheng's avatar.
The intense heat and terrifying cold approached Gu Zheng's avatar. The gorgeous Phoenix Eagle wings on Gu Zheng's avatar's back unfolded, and the Chaos Tower flew up and cast a shield over his head. He quickly retreated into the distance.
Gu Zheng's avatar's strength was not good, but he could use all the immortal tools that belonged to Gu Zheng. Immortal tools like the Phoenix Eagle wings and the Chaos Tower, Gu Zheng could not use them when he was fighting with others, so it was not bad for him to use them.
"Whoosh …"
"Buzz …"
Two strange sounds came from the mountain gate. Wings grew on the back of the man and the woman with a thin waist. The two of them chased after the fleeing Gu Zheng's avatar and Die Ling.
"Don't go!"
The two-headed gorilla also wanted to chase, but the butterfly man shouted at him to stop. He had long understood that Gu Zheng's avatar and Meow Meow were just a smokescreen. Gu Zheng's real body, who had never appeared, was the real show. What's more, Gu Zheng's avatar had just mentioned his subordinates, so he had to guard against being lured away.
The butterfly man uttered a strange syllable. The compound eye on his forehead shot out a beam of light and began to scan the open space in front of the mountain gate. He wanted to see if Gu Zheng's real body was hiding somewhere.
At this moment, the butterfly man's subordinates had gathered in the mountain gate. There were more than a thousand of them. Since such a thing had happened in the sect, they were naturally ready to fight at any time. However, their strength was not enough. Only the butterfly man and a few others were equivalent to the Sage-to-be realm. As for the monsters below this realm, they were all trash to Gu Zheng.
"Evil beast!"
Among the monsters, a guy with a wretched appearance, who looked like a raccoon, suddenly opened his mouth and roared.
Ripples appeared in the air. The effect of the raccoon's roar was extraordinary. Out of more than a thousand monsters, at least eight hundred of them had a horrible death aura on their heads. Then, they fell to the ground collectively.
"Outside the circle is indeed outside the circle!"
The raccoon laughed strangely, as if he was not satisfied with the lethality of his roar.
Indeed, the raccoon was very dissatisfied. If it were in Untainted Land, his roar would not kill all the Monster Cultivators below the Sage-to-be realm, and there should not be many of them left. However, the things outside of the circle were strange. There were more than a thousand demonlings, but his shout only killed eight hundred of them. Furthermore, the consumption of the power of death was greater than what he had used to kill thousands of demonlings in the Toxic Swamp. How could he possibly be satisfied with that?
"You …"
The butterfly man's eyes widened and he was speechless. He didn't expect Gu Zheng himself to come to his side without him noticing. Furthermore, Gu Zheng had killed hundreds of his subordinates with a single shout. The shock was like a thunderclap in his heart! Even now, if Gu Zheng's Original Body had not used the 'Dao of Death', he still could not see that the damn raccoon was an enemy.
Among the Power of Tao that Gu Zheng had mastered, two had reached a high level. One was the Dao of Life, and the other was the Dao of Transformation.
The high level Dao of Transformation was also called 'Xuantian Eighteen Changes'. After Gu Zheng comprehended it, he had never used it. This was because the 'Xuantian Eighteen Changes' could only transform into eighteen fixed things. Every time he used one, he would have one less. However, compared with the 'Disha 72 Changes' and the 'Tiangang 36 Changes', the 'Xuantian Eighteen Changes' had a feature that was more difficult to see through.
First, Gu Zheng used 'Space Hiding' to enter the sect where the butterfly man was. Then, he killed a raccoon monster that sent wine to the butterfly man. After searching its soul, he became the raccoon monster's appearance.
"Brother, this guy sent us wine!"
Suddenly, the skinny frog whose face had changed remembered that when they were discussing how to deal with the matter at the butterfly man's place, the damn raccoon sent them wine. The wine seemed to taste better than before.
The butterfly man and others stared at Gu Zheng with their eyes wide open. Gu Zheng laughed, "How was the wine just now?"
His fingers changed and his mind moved. Whether it was the butterfly man who was not too far away, or the two-headed gorilla and the beehive-waisted woman who were chasing Meow Meow and his doppelganger, all of them couldn't help but feel pain in their stomachs.
Medicine and food are inseparable. As an Immortal Chef, Gu Zheng naturally has an unimaginable understanding of pharmacology. When he sent wine to the butterfly man as a raccoon monster, Gu Zheng added some ingredients to the wine. When he needs to use it, he can stimulate the medicinal properties through his own blood.
"Stop, stop fighting!"
The butterfly man with sweat on his forehead hurriedly shouted. The subordinates who were already attacking Gu Zheng immediately stopped attacking.
Since the enemy stopped, Gu Zheng naturally stopped as well. Although his words were tough, in fact, his original intention has not changed. He still has the mentality that it's better to avoid trouble. However, some things can't be negotiated at the beginning. There must be a process of fighting! What's more, on the surface, Gu Zheng killed hundreds of monsters and made the butterfly man and the others feel pain in their stomachs. However, these were nothing. Among the hundreds of monsters, none of them were equivalent to the Sage-to-be realm. Moreover, with the strength of the butterfly man and others, the abdominal pain was easily suppressed.
The butterfly man also understood that the abdominal pain was easy to suppress, but the shock was not easy to eliminate.
Gu Zheng came from outside the circle. The butterfly man also didn't know what tricks he had. This was also the reason why he was inevitably afraid!
Let's not talk about whether or not he could kill Gu Zheng and what benefits he would gain from killing Gu Zheng. Just from the start of the battle, he had already lost several hundred subordinates. If he continued to fight, what kind of losses would he suffer? Was it really worth it to continue like this?
It was precisely because of these considerations that the butterfly man stopped his men.
