Ju Ming couldn't be bothered to ask about Jin San anymore. The Wu Tian Tribe's counterattack had destroyed his previous plans.
His previous plans had been to attack, and he hadn't expected the other party to counterattack. If Gu Zheng were here, he would definitely laugh at Ju Ming. However, wars in this era weren't that complicated, and many people thought of them very simply.
It was so simple that they had to deal with whatever came their way. There was no flexibility, not to mention schemes.
There were pitifully few schemes in this era. Of course, it wasn't that there weren't any. If Liu Yi had been the leader, the situation would have been completely different. Liu Yi was a smart person, but unfortunately, his cultivation was too low to lead an army. Ju Ming wouldn't listen to his words and could only curse him in his heart.
The battle between Goblin and the Wu people lasted for half a year. During this time, Gu Zheng hadn't made any moves, which surprised him.
It was good that he hadn't made any moves. This way, he could make more preparations. Now, the prefectural city had over a thousand crossbows, over three thousand catapults, and close to a hundred thousand arrows. There were also huge rocks and other things. Even the city walls had been raised by two meters, reaching over seven meters.
In this half a year, Gu Zheng's cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Void Return realm. He had finally made some progress, and this was because he had collected another batch of Yuan Qi cultivation. Mado's progress was the fastest. In half a year, he had reached the early stage of the fourth stage of the Internal Strength realm. Wu You was at the late stage of the third stage, Aunt Cui was at the middle stage of the third stage, and An Zhuo was at the middle stage of the second stage.
However, they were still very far away from the Qi Transformation Realm, so they couldn't be of much help.
On this day, Gu Zheng was cultivating when he suddenly opened his eyes and walked out of the door. Several figures of light flew over from the sky. This was the sign of Sword Kinesis Flight. These people didn't hide the light of their immortal weapons, so they could be seen.
After a while, Wu You ran over.
"Young Master, five immortals have arrived in the city. They want to see you!"
"Bring them here!"
Five Celestial Immortal Cultivators. He didn't know what they were here for, but it was fine as long as they weren't Goblin or Wu people. Now that the Great War of the Witch-Demon Race was happening, the Human Race was caught in the middle. Too many humans were eaten by the two races as food, and in the end, they even incurred the wrath of the Saints.
Although the Sages could not directly attack, the disciples of the Sages did. In the end, they sped up the destruction of the Goblin.
"Eh?"
The five of them arrived very quickly. The leader even let out a soft exclamation of surprise. Gu Zheng's illusory technique was of a very low level. Even Heavenly Immortals would be able to see through it and see his true appearance.
At this time, Gu Zheng looked like a nine-year-old child. After being in the Untainted Land for a few years, he had grown up a little.
Seeing that the immortals in the city were actually children, the five immortals were very surprised. But soon, the young man who had let out the soft exclamation first saluted Gu Zheng and said, "Fellow Daoist, we are members of the Human Alliance. Recently, the Great War of the Witch-Demon Race killed too many of our people. The Wuliang Dao Master of the Wuliang Mountain, Immortal Liu Quan of the Three Gorges Cave, Immortal Huo of the Mountain of Fire, and many other fellow Daoists in the surrounding areas formed the Human Alliance to protect our people!"
The young man gave a simple introduction. Soon, Gu Zheng understood why they were here.
Humans were social creatures, and they were also social creatures. The war between the Witch Tribe and the Demon Tribe did not only affect ordinary humans, but also some cultivators who lived in seclusion. There was no lack of real immortals among them.
After losing a part of them in the beginning, the rest naturally united and formed the Human Alliance.
The three immortals mentioned by the young man were all great masters in the later stage of the Jin Xian. It was said that they even knew a Daluo Jinxian expert and wanted to invite a Daluo Jinxian expert to protect them. But there was no result yet.
The Human Alliance had more than 20 Jin Xian experts. Although there were not many Jin Xian experts, there were many Fairy Immortals, more than 800 of them. They were all gathered in a place called the Immeasurable State.
The Immeasurable Mountain was in the Immeasurable State. There was a Taoist temple in the Immeasurable Mountain. The Wuliang Dao Master lived in the temple. He was also the actual owner of the Immeasurable State. Because of his protection, the Immeasurable State had developed well in the past few thousand years. Now, the capital city was a large city with a population of more than a million people. There were also a few small cities around it.
Such a force was naturally targeted. After he led his disciples to repel several waves of forces, he deeply felt that he might not be able to protect the Boundless Nation on his own. Thus, he invited his good friends to form the Human Alliance to protect the surrounding human gathering places.
They were not only protecting the Immeasurable State, but also other places. At the same time, people were constantly looking for other Daoists to join them and protect them.
"You've done a good job protecting so many people. You've done a great service!"
After listening to the young man's words, Gu Zheng first expressed his approval. Humans had already banded together. Only by banding together could they have a better chance of survival. At present, food was scarce in the Untainted Land. In addition, there was a war. Humans had long become rations in the eyes of the Goblin. A place without the protection of strong people was bound to be destroyed.
"Taoist Gokusen, we invite you to join our Human Alliance and protect the human people together!"
The young man made the invitation. Gu Zheng stood up and nodded. "Okay, I'm willing to join the Human Alliance!"
"That's great. Taoist Gokusen, let's go back to the Immeasurable State first. I believe that the seniors there will be very happy to know that you've joined us!"
The young man said with a smile. Gu Zheng's brows knitted together.
"I'm sorry, Taoist friend. I only said that I'm willing to join the Human Alliance. I didn't say that I'm leaving!"
Gu Zheng said slowly. He couldn't leave. Once he left, the city would face retaliation. At that time, everyone in the city would be finished. Although it was difficult for him to protect so many people alone, it was a completely different situation with him and without him.
"If you don't leave, how can you be considered joining us? We have to unite to fight against the Goblin!"
Another young man hurriedly shouted. They had gone out to explore and found that there was a city here. After asking around, they learned that there was an Immortal in the city and specially came to invite him.
In fact, before they came down, they had already guessed this. There were several Liches and Demons battlefields nearby. If there were no Immortals here, this city would have been destroyed long ago. They had seen too many destroyed cities, big and small. It was not rare to see even bigger ones.
After asking around, they were even more certain that there was an Immortal here. Moreover, he was very powerful. This Immortal had led the people here and defeated three waves of Liches. To be able to defeat three waves of Liches was enough to prove the strength of the Immortal in the city.
"I can still fight against them here. If I leave, what will happen to the people in the city?"
Gu Zheng shook his head again. He was willing to contribute to the human race, but not to go to the Immeasurable State. There were many Immortals there. As long as the Goblin didn't want more enemies, they wouldn't disturb the city. Therefore, it was very safe there. This place needed him more.
Needless to say, the Immeasurable State had nothing to do with him. He only wanted to protect the people he was familiar with here.
"Taoist friend Gokusen, I know that you care about the people here. However, the Immeasurable State has gathered more than five million people. The surrounding people are all gathered there. That place needs more protection!"
The young man in the lead advised again. It seemed that in his eyes, the five million people there were more important than the two hundred thousand here.
"That is what you want to protect. I only want to protect this place!" Gu Zheng shook his head again.
"Taoist friend Gokusen, if you stay here alone, you will also be in danger. Do you understand?"
The young man in the lead said again, emphasizing the word "danger". He continued, "According to our investigation, with the Immeasurable State as the center, there are three Liches within five hundred thousand miles of it. The closest one is less than ten thousand miles away. The people who attacked you before must have come from there. Since they found you, they will definitely not let you go. You may have been lucky once or twice, but it won't last forever!"
The young man's meaning was very clear. Gu Zheng couldn't protect this place by himself. He would also implicate himself. It was better to leave with them and go to the Immeasurable State. It would be safer there.
"People who walk different paths can't make plans together. If you think that place is more important, then go back there. I won't leave!"
Gu Zheng stood up with the intention of seeing the guests out. The five youngsters were all glaring at him. There seemed to be anger and pity in their eyes.
"You are just a child. Where are your elders? Can you let us meet your elders?"
The young man in the lead suddenly said. In fact, he had wanted to say this for a long time. However, Gu Zheng was a real immortal after all, so he kept asking him. When Gu Zheng refused, he couldn't help but say it.
"I don't have any elders. I am me!"
Gu Zheng shook his head again, but soon, his expression changed abruptly. He flew out in an instant, and the five young men followed behind him and flew out together.
Gu Zheng had already reached the city wall. Outside the city, a group of demon soldiers had appeared out of nowhere. There weren't many of them, only about thirty of them. However, all of them were above the Celestial Immortal Realm. The five leaders were all as strong as Jin Xian, and the most powerful among them had reached the late stage of Jin Xian.
They were all demons at the Celestial Immortal Realm. It was very easy for them to come here without alerting any of the Beacon Towers. It was even possible that the Beacon Towers had been destroyed again.
These demons didn't conceal themselves at all. Outside the city, Demon Qi was already soaring into the sky, exuding the coercion of their realms. This let the people in the city know their strength.
"These are the demon soldiers from the Ju Ming's side!"
The five young men's faces were pale. The forces outside were too strong. Any one of those Jin Xian could easily crush them. Not to mention Jin Xian, they couldn't even deal with the Celestial Immortals of the Divine Transformation Realm and the Void Return Realm behind them.
The demons that came this time didn't even have a single Qi Transformation Realm cultivator. They really thought highly of Gu Zheng.
The battle between the Wu Tian Tribe and the Goblin had come to an end. In the past six months, they had fought very miserably. The Goblin had suffered great losses, but the Wu Tian Tribe hadn't fared much better. It could be said that both sides had suffered great losses, so the battle was temporarily suspended.
In this battle, the Goblin's strength had been reduced by more than one-fifth. Ju Ming had already ordered people to find more Loose Demons and pull them into the army. At the same time, he remembered the incident with Jin San and specially sent a large group of people here. Not only did they want to find out what had happened to Jin San, but they also wanted to kill the people in this city and bring their flesh back to make food. The rations of ordinary demons were getting less and less. Now, all the demons basically didn't have enough to eat and were in urgent need of food.
A city with more than 200,000 people. Although it wasn't a lot, it was better than nothing. Moreover, humans also needed to eat and had the habit of storing food. Occupying this city would not only turn the people in the city into food, but also obtain a lot of extra food, enough to support the army for a while.
"You are the immortals in the city? Where is Jin San? Hurry up and tell us, or we will slaughter the entire city! "
A beginner Jin Xian demon flew a few steps forward and spoke arrogantly. Gu Zheng looked at him coldly. The foreheads of the five young men were already sweating.
"My King, we are not from this city. We are members of the Human Alliance. We are just passing by. We will leave immediately!"
The young leader shouted loudly. The Jin Xian demon glared and immediately said, "Human Alliance? That annoying bug? Don't leave today. We will destroy your Human Alliance sooner or later!"
The Goblin knew about the existence of the Human Alliance. After all, they were a force. However, they were fighting against the Wu people and didn't have time to deal with them. Once they were free, they would definitely attack the Human Alliance.
Those millions of people were rich in food. If it wasn't for the Wu people, Ju Ming would have led the army personally.
The five young men's faces turned pale again. One of them even trembled. He was even worse than the ordinary people on the city wall.
"I have already killed Jin San. Let me give you a piece of advice. Don't have any ideas about this city in the future. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Gu Zheng flew into the sky and faced the beginner Jin Xian demon. He spoke softly. The demon looked up and laughed.
"You are called Zuo Jiaming. Your original form is the Sky-Devouring Python, right?"
The Sky-Devouring Python was also an ancient Goblin. It was very strong. It had already become the Sky-Devouring Python of the Daluo Jinxian. It was a large Goblin race in the Heaven Realm.
"Kid, don't be fooled by your small size. You have a lot of information. Who told you?"
Zuo Jiaming continued to laugh. Gu Zheng lowered his head and opened a yellow scroll. He took out the Soul Hooking Pen and hooked Zuo Jiaming's name.
Zuo Jiaming was laughing when he suddenly fell from the sky. He transformed into his original form in the air. A huge python that was more than ten feet long smashed heavily on the ground. Even the city wall felt the vibration.
The Sky-Devouring Python. Just from the name, one could tell that this type of demon was very big.
The sudden change stunned everyone. Zuo Jiaming's primordial spirit came out in a daze. Before he could run, he was pierced by a white light and his primordial spirit was destroyed.
A beginner Jin Xian demon, and a demon from the Heaven Realm, died just like that. It was a baffling death.
The more than 30 people on the demon's side were all silent. No one dared to say a word.
"Sir, Sir, Flying Eagle died just like that. There were no signs. He died just like that!"
Cui Wu, who was the Kingfisher Spirit, hurriedly cried out after the silence. Back then, he was with Flying Eagle and Flying Eagle died in front of him.
This Kingfisher Spirit didn't know because he was inconspicuous. Jin San didn't know his situation, so he was lucky enough to escape.
"It's you. I let you run away last time. You dare to come again this time?"
Gu Zheng recognized the Kingfisher Spirit and said to him. The Kingfisher Spirit was immediately shocked and hid at the back.
"What treasure is that?"
The leader, Jin Xian, was very afraid of Gu Zheng's methods. However, he could tell that the one who plotted against Zuo Jiaming was the scroll in Gu Zheng's hand. It was just that he didn't know what the scroll was.
"Why should I tell you? Do you want to be like that python just now?"
Gu Zheng looked at him and said softly. He wasn't afraid of the five Jin Xian in front of him. Instead, he was concerned about the Heaven Immortals. He didn't know who at least half of the Heaven Immortals were, and there were many Void Return Realm Heaven Immortals.
It couldn't be helped. Jin San couldn't remember all the Goblin people. It was already very good that he could remember more than half of them. At least, he didn't miss out on those above Jin Xian. Only half of the Heaven Immortals were left.
He knew about Flying Eagle last time, but this time, there were so many that he didn't know. Once a fight broke out, even if he could quickly use the Book of Life and Death to deal with these Jin Xian, there would be a lot of losses in the city. The destructive power of these Heaven Immortals was huge.
Gu Zheng's words made that late stage golden immortal involuntarily take a step back.
"Let's go!"
Jin Xian suddenly said. He led the people and flew away quickly. He was afraid that if they were late, they would be killed inexplicably like the Heaven Devouring Python.
This time, Gu Zheng didn't stop them. He couldn't stop them. After all, he was only one person. If there were a few Jin Xian here today, or ten Heaven Immortals above the Soul Formation Realm, he would dare to keep these people here. None of them would be able to leave.
Unfortunately, Gu Zheng was still too weak. He didn't have such power and could only scare them away.
However, his words weren't a threat. He already had the information of many people. If they really provoked him, he could kill all of them. This batch of Goblin would definitely be destroyed.
However, their destruction wouldn't benefit Gu Zheng. First, their Primordial Spirits could escape. Once they were reborn, they would definitely come for revenge. Most importantly, there was still that Ju Ming. He was a Daluo Jinxian. The soul of a Daluo Jinxian wasn't that easy to steal. If it wasn't stolen, even if it was an injured Daluo Jinxian, Gu Zheng and his people wouldn't be able to resist.
Therefore, he tried his best to threaten them. He wanted them to be wary of his methods and not find trouble with him here.
"Daoist Gokusen, you, you are really powerful. What kind of treasure is this?"
The demons retreated. Only then did the five people dare to step forward. They looked at Gu Zheng enviously. At the same time, they were wary.
"It's just an ordinary treasure!"
Gu Zheng kept the Book of Life and Death. A hint of greed appeared in the eyes of the five people. At the same time, they didn't believe Gu Zheng's words.
An ordinary treasure. How could an ordinary treasure not be able to kill a Golden Immortal level demon? Even if it was an early Golden Immortal, it was still an extremely terrifying treasure.
However, they understood that Gu Zheng was much stronger than them. With such a treasure, even if they had any thoughts, they had to hide it. Otherwise, it would be suicide.
