There were more people, but they had already made sufficient preparations beforehand. The four carriages were all double-horse carriages, which were sufficient.
The six of them were currently weak, so they were all allowed to recuperate in the carriages. They no longer ate the coarse grain here, but the delicacies that they had brought with them. After the six of them ate their fill, they cried again.
Some things could only be cherished after they were lost, and it was even rarer to have them back.
Gu Zheng believed that they would not be fooled by others in the future. Since they were loyal, it was good to keep them. It was not a bad thing for Gu Zheng to have more people around him.
After picking them up, Gu Zheng changed his direction and headed south.
The reason why Gu Zheng chose the south was purely because of a moment of excitement. He tossed up a tree branch and headed south. It was not a plan he had in mind. This time, he did not have any plans to go out.
Five days later, there was a rainstorm.
Usually, Gu Zheng would let them travel in the rain. However, as long as it was a rainstorm, no matter where they were, Gu Zheng would ask them to find a high ground to rest and continue after the rain stopped.
Some of the roads in this era were not roads at all. It was difficult to travel when it rained, especially in heavy rain. Moreover, natural disasters such as floods and landslides were common after heavy rain. Gu Zheng was not afraid of these, but there were many mortals in his group. For their safety, he had to stop.
This time, the rainstorm was very heavy. They could not see anything more than ten meters away. Wu You found a high ground on a hillside and stopped the four carriages there.
The carriages were exquisitely made and waterproof. Wu You even built a simple shed for the horses. Although it was leaking, at least they did not have to stay in the rain all the time. It was much better.
"This rain, could it be that the Dragon King is angry?"
Auntie Cui lifted the curtain and looked outside. She couldn't help but ask. Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head. But soon, his smile froze.
He had already sensed a powerful force flying across the sky. There was more than one, and there was another. It seemed like one was chasing and the other was escaping. There were experts chasing after each other in the sky.
These two forces were not small, far stronger than the current Gu Zheng. They were not something he could participate in. If that was all, it would be fine. However, Gu Zheng could clearly sense a dragon aura. There was also a dragon flying in the sky.
When did Aunt Cui have such a crow's beak? Everything she said was accurate.
The flying fellow with the dragon aura in front suddenly turned around and headed towards Gu Zheng and the others. Gu Zheng and Taotie stood up together. Even Wu You and the others were shocked.
This power was not concealed at all..........
................................................
One horse was not enough. It swallowed a total of four horses before it raised its head.
Gu Zheng was dumbfounded. The others were also dumbfounded. This Yellow Dragon was really huge. It was several times bigger than the dragon that the eel demon had transformed into. It was not longer than the eel demon. It was only twice the length, but its body was several times bigger.
After eating four horses, the Yellow Dragon raised its head and stared straight at the sky.
"I won't bully you. I'll let you eat your fill!"
A voice came from the sky. Gu Zheng raised his head in shock. This voice was very familiar. He had heard it before. It was the skinny old man who had ordered him to roast fish and wanted to take him away by force.
This old man had wanted to take the eel demon away as a mount. The eel demon had been sent away by Taotie. This guy actually had his eyes on a Yellow Dragon. Could it be that this guy had some hobby? Dragons, and yellow dragons at that?
Gu Zheng was not clear about this. However, he still had to take precautions. Gu Zheng took out the Immortal Slaying Gourd and put it away. He also took out the Book of Life and Death.
"Xiao Yao Zi, you are just a small Jin Xian. How dare you dream of enslaving the dragon race. Aren't you afraid of the dragon race's revenge?"
The Yellow Dragon spoke. It seemed unusually angry. This Yellow Dragon was not weak. It was at the intermediate Jin Xian level. Unfortunately, the old man was at the advanced Jin Xian level. He was stronger than the Yellow Dragon by a level.
However, it was still a little difficult for an advanced Jin Xian level to capture a dragon at the intermediate Jin Xian level. It seemed like this skinny old man had other trump cards in his hands.
However, he finally knew the old man's name. Xiao Yao Zi. He had never heard of him. At least, there was no mention of him in the later generations. He was also not one of those famous people during the Investiture of the Gods period. He probably died before he reached the Investiture of the Gods period.
The possibility of him living in seclusion was not high. Just by looking at his personality, it was possible that he had suffered because of his personality. Otherwise, with his strength, even if he was not as famous as the disciples of the Saints, he would still be a small character.
"Hehe, if I was afraid, I wouldn't have captured you. But you are right. The dragon race's revenge cannot be ignored. Looks like I can't capture you alive today. I have to kill you!"
The skinny old man laughed evilly. His laughter made people feel uncomfortable.
"Tie!"
Tie called out to Gu Zheng. He did not like this person, but he knew that he could not defeat him. Even if he could not defeat him, there was someone else who could. Last time, it was Gu Zheng who had scared him away.
"Wait!"
Gu Zheng opened the Book of Life and Death and immediately wrote down Xiao Yao Zi's name. A bunch of Xiao Yao Zi's names appeared in the Book of Life and Death.
With so many Xiao Yao Zi, it gave Gu Zheng a headache. He could not just lure all of them away. That would mean he would have to kill a lot of people. He could not do something like that.
"Roar!"
The yellow dragon in the sky let out a furious roar and suddenly charged toward Xiao Yao Zi. He could already feel Xiao Yao Zi's killing intent. Earlier, Xiao Yao Zi only wanted to capture him, but he could not escape. Now that he wanted to kill him, there was no way he could escape.
The yellow dragon was ruthless. Since he could not escape, he wanted to fight Xiao Yao Zi to the death.
"Too many!"
After reading for a while, Gu Zheng had no choice but to close the book. It recorded all the people in the Elemental Wilderness. Xiao Yao Zi might be a rare name, but there were many people with this name, especially those with the Taoist title Xiao Yao Zi.
After all, the Elemental Wilderness was so big and there were so many humans.
Unfortunately, the Book of Life and Death did not have the ability to sort by cultivation. Otherwise, he would have been able to find him. Now that there were thousands of Xiao Yao Zi in the Book of Life and Death, it would take a lot of time to look at them one by one.
In the sky, there was already a loud noise. The yellow dragon and Xiao Yao Zi were fighting. Xiao Yao Zi had a horsetail whisk in his hand. The horsetail whisk was a high-rank Immortal Artifact. All the white hairs on it could be turned into arrows. In just a short while, the yellow dragon was covered in wounds and bleeding.
Looking at the dragon blood that was dripping down from the rain, Taotie licked his lips.
"Whatever, let's give it a try!"
Gu Zheng suddenly called out his Immortal's Sword and flew into the sky with the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and the Book of Life and Death. Once the yellow dragon was killed, Xiao Yao Zi would definitely bring him down to take a look. He would definitely find them.
Xiao Yao Zi already knew that he had the Immortal-Slaying Gourd. Once he found them, he would be at a disadvantage. The biggest weakness of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd was that it was too slow to activate. Xiao Yao Zi would not give him the time to activate it.
Before the yellow dragon was killed, he had to think of a way to kill Xiao Yao Zi or scare him away. At least the yellow dragon could stall him for some time.
Gu Zheng flew out. Taotie also stepped on the black blade and followed him out.
Before the two of them arrived, the yellow dragon and Xiao Yao Zi in the sky had already sensed them. However, the two of them were very weak. The yellow dragon did not care about them at all. However, Xiao Yao Zi's expression turned grave.
He was very familiar with these two auras. He had seen them not long ago. He did not expect to meet Gu Zheng again here.
"Xiao Yao Zi, I did not expect to meet you again so soon!"
Gu Zheng flew into the sky and greeted Xiao Yao Zi with a smile. The yellow dragon was somewhat vigilant. Although the cultivation of these two children was not high, they were still people who knew the enemy. It was already at a disadvantage. At this time, even if the other party's strength increased a little, it would not be good news for it.
"It's you!"
Xiao Yao Zi was also very surprised. Gu Zheng had left a deep impression on him. The biggest reason was the Immortal Beheading Flying Saber on Gu Zheng's body.
He recognized this treasure and was very jealous of it. However, he also knew that this treasure was not something he could obtain. This was Lu Ya's treasure. Because of this, he did not look for Gu Zheng after the incident. He thought that Gu Zheng was Lu Ya's man.
At that time, he was still thinking that he had bragged this time. He told Gu Zheng that no matter who was behind him, they would not be as good as him. However, he did not expect that Gu Zheng was backed by such a big shot. He absolutely did not dare to provoke Lu Ya. Therefore, in the end, he did not think about revenge. He did not even return to Dragon Lake Town.
Gu Zheng did not know this. If he knew, he would not have let the eel monster hide first. Of course, even if he knew, he had to be careful because he was not Lu Ya's man.
Xiao Yao Zi held his breath and carefully probed. There were many people below, but most of them were mortals. Only the weak aura of the three heads indicated that they had just started cultivating. There was no one else. This result made him slightly relieved.
"It's us. You have always been nearby. Could it be that you live here?"
Gu Zheng did not mention the eel monster, nor did he mention the yellow dragon at the side. Instead, he started to talk about daily life.
"Where I come from has nothing to do with you. Today, it's none of your business. Let me kill this dragon first!"
He had already attacked the yellow dragon. It was impossible for him to capture the yellow dragon alive, so he had to kill it. If he did not kill the yellow dragon and let the dragon race know what he had done, it would be a big trouble for him.
"Didn't you just help the eel monster transform into a dragon last time? Why do you want to kill a dragon now?"
Gu Zheng deliberately said with surprise. The yellow dragon at the side understood that these two children were not Xiao Yao Zi's helpers. At least, they were not friends. Otherwise, Xiao Yao Zi would not speak like this.
These two children were obviously not strong, but Xiao Yao Zi seemed to be very afraid of them. This made the yellow dragon somewhat puzzled.
"It also has nothing to do with you. I can't afford to offend the people behind you, but now there are only you two children. I have already let you go. You have to take care of yourselves!"
Xiao Yao Zi said with a sullen face. Gu Zheng had a helpless look on his face as he continued, "Fine, we won't ask, but at least let us know where you are from. Otherwise, we will have to avoid you the next time we meet!"
Xiao Yao Zi hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I am in Quantification Mountain, but I often don't go back. Don't worry, I also don't want to meet you."
While Xiao Yao Zi was speaking, he kept staring at the Immortal Beheading Gourd in Gu Zheng's hand. Once Gu Zheng made a move to activate this treasure, he would immediately leave, not even caring about the yellow dragon.
"Quantification Mountain?"
Gu Zheng immediately opened the Life and Death Book. Although the Life and Death Book did not have the ability to search based on cultivation, it had the ability to search based on location and birth date. Soon, Xiao Yao Zi of Quantification Mountain came out.
This time, there were only five. One name immediately entered Gu Zheng's sight.
Seeing Gu Zheng open the Life and Death Book, Xiao Yao Zi's eyes flashed with greed. However, he was more on guard. He did not know what kind of treasure it was, but he was very clear about its level. If it was not for this treasure, he would have been able to capture Gu Zheng before Gu Zheng used the Immortal Beheading Flying Dagger.
At that time, he did not think about killing Gu Zheng. He was also afraid that Lu Ya would find him. Facing a big shot like Lu Ya, he knew that it was useless no matter where he hid.
The yellow dragon's eyes also widened. It also felt that this treasure was extraordinary. This child's cultivation was not high, so it did not expect him to have a treasure of this level.
"Xiao Yao Zi, real name Li Yao, Daoist Priest of Quantification Mountain, Gengzi, 32,500 years old!"
Gu Zheng looked at the Life and Death Book and read softly. Xiao Yao Zi was stunned. He did not expect Gu Zheng to read his origin. What exactly was this treasure with a Xiantian aura? How did he find out about him?
"The Temple Master of Immortal Wu Temple, who is also your master, took you in when you were young and taught you to cultivate. After you broke through the Jin Xian, you killed him just to seize the Myriad Treasures Horsetail Whisk!"
Gu Zheng continued, his expression turning cold. He did not expect this Unfettered One to have killed so many people. There were more than three hundred of them. Other than the various Demon Clans and Immortal Cultivators, there was also his master and dozens of mortals.
He was actually a person who deceived his master and killed his ancestors.
"What exactly is this treasure of yours?"
Xiao Yao Zi was a little shocked. His body instinctively rushed towards Gu Zheng, but the yellow dragon met him. Although the yellow dragon was not his opponent, it had no problem blocking him.
"What is this treasure? It's going to take your life!"
Gu Zheng took out the Brush of Reincarnation and directly hooked Xiao Yao Zi's name. Xiao Yao Zi's body suddenly stiffened and his Primordial Spirit came out.
After all, he was a Jin Xian. His soul and Primordial Spirit had fused together. Gu Zheng could hook his soul, but not his Primordial Spirit. It was just that he had lost his physical body and his Primordial Spirit was injured, so his strength was greatly reduced.
Only Gu Zheng might be able to let him escape, but there was still a yellow dragon, a Middle Jin Xian Stage Yellow Dragon.
The yellow dragon was not polite. It went forward and bit the Primordial Spirit of Xiao Yao Zi, who could not escape, was torn apart by the yellow dragon. At this time, Xiao Yao Zi did not even have the strength of an Early Jin Xian Stage Yellow Dragon. He was no match for the yellow dragon.
Xiao Yao Zi died and his body fell from the sky. Gu Zheng chased after him and grabbed him. He took a storage bracelet from his hand and the weapon he had just used, the Million Treasures Horsetail Whisk.
Xiao Yao Zi's storage immortal tool was what Gu Zheng needed the most. He had to carry everything with him when he went out, which was very inconvenient. With this storage bracelet, he could go out easily in the future.
"Child, Fellow Daoist, thank you for your help. This yellow dragon is very grateful!"
After the yellow dragon killed Xiao Yao Zi's Primordial Spirit, he did not leave. Instead, he came to thank Gu Zheng and turned into his human form.
He could transform, but when he was fighting with Xiao Yao Zi, his human form could not display the strength of his original form. Therefore, he had been maintaining his original form.
"You're welcome. I have some grudges with him. This time, I met him. Since you were here, I took the opportunity to get to know him!"
Gu Zheng also cupped his fists. At the same time, he was vigilant. The Book of Life and Death had always been in his hands. If the yellow dragon did anything bad to them, he would definitely use the Immortal Beheading Gourd.
Xiao Yao Zi had killed a Jin Xian late stage. He was not afraid of killing a Jin Xian middle stage dragon.
"Even so, you have saved my life. If you have any errands in the future, just tell me!"
The yellow dragon seemed to be very straightforward. He did not care if Gu Zheng agreed or not and continued, "However, I want to become a disciple of the Sage. This time, I came out to find a good friend, hoping that he could introduce me. Unfortunately, that good friend was not here and I met this thief. Now, I don't want to find that good friend anymore. I'm going to go outside the 33 Heavens and worship the Sage. So, Fellow Daoist, I'll repay your kindness another day.
Today, I'll take my leave. "The yellow dragon said quickly. He did not wait for Gu Zheng's reply and directly flew into the sky.
The rain finally stopped. The yellow dragon left just like that. Gu Zheng was a little stunned. However, the departure of such a powerful dragon was not a bad thing for him.
"He wants to become a disciple of the Sage. How can it be so easy to become a disciple of the Sage?"
Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head. Halfway through, he suddenly froze and looked up at the sky.
There were twelve Jin Xian under the Primeval Lord of Heaven. One of them was the Immortal Yellow Dragon. Could this yellow dragon be the future Immortal Yellow Dragon?
However, Gu Zheng was just thinking about it. Even if he succeeded and became a disciple of the Primeval Lord of Heaven, he would only be a disciple of the Sage. Moreover, he would be one of the weaker disciples of the Sage.
Gu Zheng's goal was to become a Sage. Those below the Sage level were nothing to him.
Seeing the two of them return to the carriage, the crowd was relieved. They did not know what happened in the sky. Gu Zheng did not say anything and no one dared to ask.
"Sure enough, the bad guy has a lot of money!"
After returning, Gu Zheng opened the storage bracelet and checked the things inside. Soon, he grinned. Xiao Yaozi was dead. The storage bracelet had become an ownerless object and could be opened easily.
There were a lot of good things inside. There were three middle-level immortal tools. One of them was a defensive immortal tool. However, Xiao Yaozi did not use it before. Such an immortal tool was not very useful to a middle-level Jin Xian Goblin like the yellow dragon. Its defensive ability was limited and it could be easily damaged.
However, it was just right for Gu Zheng and Taotie.
Additionally, there were seven low-grade immortal artifacts. There were two immortal swords and quite a number of immortal pills. Although their quality was average, they were still very useful to the current Gu Zheng. They were all items that he could use.
In addition, there were various raw materials. There were a lot of high-level raw materials. This was the collection of Xiao Yaozi for tens of thousands of years. Now, they all fell into Gu Zheng's hands.
"It's a pity that there are no low-level things!"
Gu Zheng shook his head and sighed. He could use the things inside now. However, Wu You and the others could not. However, the raw materials inside were enough to make a few servings of Yuan Xiu. Later, he would dilute it and give it to them to help them with their cultivation.
Gu Zheng was referring to the items that people at Wu You's level could use. Indeed, he did not have any. Thinking about it, it made sense. After all, Unfettered One was a Golden Immortal. How could low-level items enter his eyes?
