Gu Zheng knew exactly what they were thinking.
Gu Zheng had rich experience in dealing with people. At this moment, Gu Zheng's heart was filled with murderous intent. He wanted to kill these people and keep this secret.
But soon, he suppressed this murderous intent. The five of them did not know that they had been on the brink of death.
He could not hide the secret of the treasure in his hands. Not to mention that the demons already knew, if he took it out in the future, it would be discovered by others. He could not kill everyone who saw it. That was not realistic.
Since that was the case, there was no need to kill them. He could just let them leave.
"Daoist Gokusen, we sincerely invite you to the Immeasurable State. That is the paradise of the human race!"
After the crisis was resolved, the young man came to invite Gu Zheng again. Paradise. Gu Zheng smiled. There was no paradise in the war. The so-called Human Alliance seemed strong, but whether it was the Goblin or the Wu people, as long as a Big Goblin or a Grand Wizard led the team, they could completely destroy this force.
The so-called safety there was only temporary.
In the Great War of the Witch-Demon Tribe, a large number of Sage-to-be had fallen, and even more Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals had fallen. If not for this, how could the Human Tribe rise? So far, the number of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals in the Human Tribe was pitifully small.
This was also a congenital reason. After the creation of the world, many Great Demon Beasts and Great Sorcerers appeared one after another, while the Human Tribe appeared much later. In the beginning, there were not many Human Tribe cultivators. If the Three Pure Ones hadn't recruited a group of disciples and spread out some cultivation methods, there would be even fewer Human Tribe cultivators.
Were the Three Pure Ones humans?
In fact, that was not the case. Even Gokusen himself was not. The Three Pristine Ones were transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit. Gokusen himself did not even know how he came out. They were all born of the world and had no parents. It was not appropriate to classify them as the human race.
However, both the Three Pure Ones and Gokusen viewed themselves as part of the Human Tribe. Perhaps this was the Human Tribe's fortune. Without the support of these Sages, the Human Tribe would not have persevered in the Untainted Land for so long and unified the Three Realms.
After the five Celestial Immortals left, the city regained its peace. The people seemed to have gotten used to this kind of harassment. They believed that as long as Gokusen was there, nothing would happen, no matter who came.
In a distant mountain range, Ju Ming sat at the head of the table. Below him were four people kneeling on one knee. These were the four people who had returned from the expedition against Gu Zheng.
"Zuo Jiaming is dead? He died for no reason? "
Ju Ming looked at his four subordinates in disbelief. That was an expert at the initial stage of Jin Xian. Even if he had gone to kill him, he would not have been able to kill him instantly. If the other party had been prepared, it would have taken some effort.
However, when facing a child immortal, that child had only taken out a treasure that looked like a yellow scroll, he had died for no reason. His death was so inexplicable that it made people tremble with fear.
"Six Wings, what kind of treasure is that?"
Ju Ming shouted angrily. Six Wings knew that he was in trouble. This was information that he had not found out before. As a result, he had killed Jin San and Zuo Jiaming. Now, the other Jin Xian were also glaring at him.
However, he really did not know that the other party had such a powerful treasure. If he had really found out, he might not have been able to come back to report. The other party would definitely use this treasure to kill him.
It was a pity that he could not say these words.
"Venerable One, this is my mistake. However, since it could easily kill Lord Jin San and Lord Zuo Jiaming, this treasure must have a great origin. You can ask the almighty in the Heavenly Realm what that treasure looks like. You will definitely be able to find out!"
Six Wings did not shirk his responsibility. At the same time, he suggested a new idea. That treasure was so powerful that it could not be unknown.
"You are right. It must be an Innate Treasure. Only an Innate Treasure can be so powerful!"
Ju Ming nodded. His eyes were still shining. However, he was a little afraid of Gu Zheng's weapon. Although he was powerful, he was not willing to take the risk to snatch this treasure.
The most important thing was to find out what this treasure was first. Only then could he formulate a strategy.
"Yang Da, go back to the Heavenly Realm and ask around in the Scripture Depository. Find out what this is!"
Yang Da was one of his trusted subordinates. Jin Xian was in the middle stage. Ju Ming asked him to investigate because he did not want more people to know about this treasure. This way, it would fall into his hands.
Yang Da quickly stepped forward and agreed. He immediately rushed into the clouds and returned to the Heavenly Realm.
He went quickly and returned quickly. After ten days, he returned and reported the results of his investigation to Ju Ming.
"There are a total of three similar treasures, but you can't be sure which one it is?"
Ju Ming listened to Yang Da's reply and asked suspiciously. Yang Da nodded heavily and said with certainty, "Yes, according to my investigation, there are indeed three similar treasures. However, we can rule them out one by one. This way, we will know which treasure is most likely to be the one!"
Only Ju Ming and Yang Da were left. Ju Ming asked Yang Da to continue.
"The first one is the Mountain River Map!"
Yang Da said a name without stopping. Ju Ming almost jumped up.
"Isn't the Mountain River Map in the hands of Saint Nui? How could it be in the hands of such a brat? Moreover, the Mountain River Map is white, not yellow!"
"Sir, it's true that the Mountain River Map is in the hands of Saint Nui, but who can guarantee that it is still there? Moreover, it has always been said that the Mountain River Map is white and not yellow, but who has seen it with their own eyes?"
Seeing that Ju Ming was in a daze, he continued, "The color can be disguised. The Mountain River Map can directly suck people into it, then kill them inside and release them. It seems like a long time has passed inside, but it is only a moment outside!"
"I understand what you mean. Zuo Jiaming was sucked in by the Mountain River Map, then thrown out after he was killed. Therefore, everyone only saw Zuo Jiaming die and did not know what happened!"
"Yes, sir!"
Yang Da replied. He was Ju Ming's confidant, so he did not have to be called Venerable like the others. Venerable meant that he was the commander of the Goblin. It was an honorific given to him, not a rank or realm.
"Go on, what is the second possibility?"
"The second possibility is the Tai Chi Diagram!"
Yang Da's words almost made Ju Ming jump up again. The Tai Chi Diagram was a primordial treasure, a Heaven-opening Divine Weapon, and one of the most powerful treasures. Even Emperor Jun and Taiyi wanted such a treasure, let alone him. The Tai Chi Diagram was definitely not inferior to the Bell of Chaos in the Goblin. It was even more powerful.
"Taishang Laojun will not give this treasure to others. Tell me the third possibility!"
Ju Ming shook his head and rejected it first. The Tai Chi Diagram was more powerful than the Mountain River Map. It was even more incredible. Everyone knew that it was a treasure in the hands of a Saint. If it was really the Tai Chi Diagram, that brat must have a great relationship with the Saint. They could not do anything to him.
"The third one has never appeared before. The Book of Life and Death!"
Yang Da continued, "It is said that the Book of Life and Death contains the information of all living creatures in the Vast Thousand World. There is a Soul-hooking Pen with the Book of Life and Death. As long as a person's name is scratched off with the pen, that person will die immediately unless he has jumped out of the Five Elements and his name is no longer in the Book of Life and Death. Or, his name has been removed from the Book of Life and Death!"
"The Book of Life and Death has never appeared before. Do you think that is it?"
Ju Ming's heart skipped a beat. It had never appeared before and had no origin. That was great. If that was the case, the treasure he obtained would belong to him. Therefore, he was very much looking forward to it.
"Sir, among the three treasures, I told you in order of possibility. The possibility of the Book of Life and Death is the lowest!"
Yang Da shook his head gently. Ju Ming was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Why is that?"
"Firstly, the Book of Life and Death is said to be yellow. With the appearance of the Book of Life and Death, there was also the Reincarnation Pen of Life and Death. However, there was only a yellow scroll and no Soul-hooking Pen of Life and Death!"
Yang Da said softly. According to the reactions of those who returned, Gu Zheng had only taken out the scroll and they had not seen anything else appear.
They did not know that Gu Zheng had deliberately hidden Zuo Jiaming's name in order to hide his methods. In addition, his position was higher at that time, so no one had seen the Soul-hooking Pen of Life and Death.
If they had seen it, there was no need to guess the three treasures. They would have known what it was directly.
"There is another point. The Book of Life and Death hooks one's soul. One needs to know the person's name and birth characters. Obviously, the people over there did not know about Jin San and Zuo Jiaming's situation. That is why I said that it is unlikely to be the Book of Life and Death!"
After Yang Da finished his analysis, he stood there and looked at Ju Ming quietly. Ju Ming scratched his head in distress.
"Logically speaking, Goddess Nuwa and Taishang Laojun would not interfere in these mundane matters. Why would they give their treasures to others?"
"Sir, I guess that this child might have a great relationship with Goddess Nuwa, or he might be from Taishang Laojun's lineage. Taishang Laojun is very fond of him, so he might have brought such a treasure to protect himself!"
Yang Da said softly. Ju Ming nodded in agreement.
"Yes, that must be it. When they returned, they said that this is a child, an eight or nine-year-old child. Who would be at ease with such a child running around? He probably went to that city out of curiosity. A child's heart is the most unpredictable. That must be it!"
They had also reported Gu Zheng's appearance when they returned and knew that he was a child. This made Ju Ming even more certain that Gu Zheng was someone with a great background.
"Sir, what should we do?"
"What else can we do? Order everyone not to go near that city. It's too late for us to hide from someone with such a great background like him. I hope he won't blame us for these few incidents. Otherwise, whether it's the Mountain River Map or the Tai Ji Map, even I won't be able to stop them if they come. Damn that Six Wings, the investigation is so bad. I'll transfer him to the vanguard later!"
Ju Ming cursed. Fortunately, Gu Zheng had let his people return. It seemed that he did not want to make a big deal out of it. Otherwise, he would probably have to ask for help from the higher-ups.
He had already ignored Gu Zheng's strength. Now, in his heart, Gu Zheng had become a person with a great background and a saint behind him.
How could he provoke a saint?
His guess was right. Gu Zheng did have a saint behind him, but not here. It was in the future. At this time, he was the saint of the future, and the treasure that they thought was the most impossible was the real one.
Gu Zheng did not know this. If he knew, he would only laugh. It was good that they misunderstood him. At least there would be less harassment in the future.
"Young Master, those giants have appeared again!"
A month after the Goblin attack, the smoke rose again. This time, there was a report. There were more giants that came last time, and there were several giants that were more than five meters tall in front of them.
More than five meters tall, their strength had reached the Fairy Immortal Realm. It was not clear whether they had reached the level of Jin Xian.
Many of the Grand Wizard of the Wu people were very big. Like Kuafu, when he fought with the ten Golden Crows, he drank all the water in a river because he was too hot and thirsty. One could imagine how big his body was.
The bigger the body, the stronger the strength. This was certain. However, it did not mean that the smaller the body, the weaker the strength. Some Wu people were not big, but their strength was not to be underestimated.
For example, Hou Yi was much smaller than Kuafu, but he killed nine Golden Crows and avenged Kuafu.
This time, there were more Wu people than last time. There were more Wu people than last time, and the front row was full of armored warriors. They looked more difficult to deal with than last time.
"It's you, the warriors that killed Wu people last time!"
When the Wu people came out of the city, they did not attack immediately. The leader of the Wu people asked loudly.
"We were content with staying here. Your people attacked us for no reason. We were just fighting back!"
Wu You got the hint from Gu Zheng and responded loudly. With his strength, it was not a problem for him to say something that everyone in the city could hear.
"Very good, it's you!"
The leader of the Wu people snorted. The Wu people behind him ran forward in an orderly manner.
"Catapult, throw!"
Mado shouted. The catapult immediately threw out the ignited stones that were covered in oil. This was an improved version of the catapult. During this time, the city had been trying to improve the power of the weapons. Gu Zheng could not help but sigh. War was indeed the fastest way to improve weapons.
If it were not for the immortals here, the technology of the future Earth would have been developed.
Unfortunately, there were many immortals here. In war, those things would not be used. Sometimes, the immortals were the ones who decided the war. Therefore, without the motivation to improve, the weapons remained the same.
The catapult threw out two rounds of flaming stones. The crossbows began to shoot.
The shields in the front row blocked many of the arrows, but this time, the arrows were all bone and could penetrate the shields. Some Wu people warriors were already injured.
When they neared the city wall, the arrows were even more powerful. Some Wu people warriors were even shot to death. The Wu people were the first to suffer.
Wu You was in charge of the crossbows. He understood that these enemies were very fast, so he changed them all to bone arrows. This was also the reason why the number of bone arrows had increased. The flying demons that came last time had all died here. It was just right to use their bodies to make bone arrows.
"Kill!"
The leader of the Wu people charged at the front. He roared as he rammed into the city wall. Gu Zheng flew up, his immortal sword aimed at the leader's head.
No matter if it was the Sorcerer Tribe or the Demon Tribe, they would attack them directly and treat them as food. This was the tragedy of the Human Tribe in this era. However, Gu Zheng knew that such days would not last long. When the experts of the Sorcerer Tribe and the Demon Tribe perished together, the Human Tribe would be in charge of the entire Untainted Land.
The leader of the Wu people was not weak. He was no weaker than an ordinary Return to Void Realm cultivator. Although he was tall, he was very agile. Gu Zheng was almost injured by him.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng had plenty of immortal weapons with decent power. At the very least, it was enough for him to use in the Heaven Immortal Realm. Especially the horsetail whisk, those tiny white hairs were the best weapon against the huge witches. No matter how agile the witches' leader was, it was impossible for him to dodge all the white hairs.
Soon, the leader was covered in blood. Other Wu people surrounded him. Many Wu people warriors stood in front of him, taking the attacks of the white hairs for him.
"Retreat!"
The leader of the Wu people suddenly shouted. The Wu people who had reached the top of the city wall all jumped down and retreated. Although they were retreating, they were not panicking. Gu Zheng floated in the air and did not chase after them.
He could kill the leader of the Sorcerer Tribe, and he also had a way to kill all the Sorcerer Tribe members who came this time, but so what? In the future, there would be even more powerful Sorcerer Tribe members coming, and there would also be a day when he could not stop them.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng's eyes suddenly flashed with a ruthless light. Wu You just happened to notice Gu Zheng and was startled when he saw Gu Zheng's expression. He had never seen Gu Zheng with such a terrifying expression.
"Wu You, Mado, you two stay in the city. I'll go out for a few days. If the Goblin comes, tell them that I'm back. They will definitely take revenge. Also, cover up the underground well. If they can't stop them, send the children underground to preserve their vitality!"
Gu Zheng instructed Wu You and Mado before flying out. He could not be passive like this. He had to find the Wu people. He could not let them continue to harass him like this.
As for the Demon Clan, the previous warning should have had some effect. Otherwise, it would not have taken so long for someone to come. One had to know that for those Gold Immortals or even Golden Immortals, they could travel more than 10,000 miles or even more in a day. This distance was nothing at all.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Zheng decided to make a trip to the Wu people. It was risky, but as long as he could prevent the Wu people from attacking him, it was worth the risk.
Actually, it wasn't that Gu Zheng didn't have a way to deal with the Sorcerer Tribe. He had a very vicious method that could exterminate the Sorcerer Tribe in one go. However, this was too harmful to the harmony of the world. If he really did it, it would have a huge impact on him becoming a Saint in the future.
That was to use the Book of Life and Death to kill everyone in the Wu Tian Tribe and exterminate them.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Gu Zheng would not do this. On one hand, it would affect him. On the other hand, it would be helping the Goblin. The Goblin were not good people. Helping them would be harming himself. There was no need to do this.
Letting the Goblin fight to the death was the most suitable method for the human race. Therefore, Gu Zheng was prepared to threaten the Wu people. This way, the Wu people would not dare to attack him. Only then would the people in the prefectural city be truly safe.
Gu Zheng flew stealthily, hiding his tracks. He did not know where the Wu people Wu Tian Tribe was. He had to catch one of the Wu people and ask. Soon, he found a lone Wu people warrior.
