"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't bother to ask you about this little thing, but since I bumped into you, I have to ask." Gu Zheng said casually making an excuse.
"Senior, can you tell me what's going on?" After hearing this, the immortal master asked again.
Seeing Du Fang still hesitating at the door, Gu Zheng grabbed the air in his direction, then pulled him back, and at the same time waved his hand and shot a white light around.
"Why are you still standing there, waiting for the other party to find out something is wrong?"
The immortal master only felt an irresistible force coming from in front of him. He unconsciously jumped ahead and found that he was already sitting opposite the senior, but he did not react at all.
Because he was still immersed in the moment when the opponent took action, the aura leaked turned out to be a senior in the Golden Immortal stage.
Although he has never met Jinxian's senior, he was lucky enough to see a battle between Jinxian's seniors many years ago. The feeling that the other party gave him just now, with just a trace of this senior's aura, was actually more powerful than the people fighting at that time.
.
It made him extremely shocked. Why didn't he expect to meet such an expert here?
It took dozens of breaths for the immortal master to wake up from the shock. Seeing Gu Zheng still looking at him indifferently, his face turned red and he quickly stood up and said, cupping his hands.
"Junior Cao Fang, I have met senior." His expression became more and more respectful, because the other party really wanted to deal with me, it was so easy, and he didn't want to talk to me so much.
Gu Zheng looked at the other party. In fact, he was deliberately leaking his aura. Of course, other than him, he would never leak it out. He just wanted to save trouble and spend a long time in ink like just now.
From this point of view, the effect is very good. The other party no longer makes a fuss, which makes it easier for me to ask questions.
"Sit down, don't be formal." Gu Zheng smiled slightly and asked the other party not to be nervous.
"Senior, what you said is right. I felt something was wrong when I was there before. After you said this, I realized that it seemed that someone really wanted to harm me, but I had only gone down the mountain for a short period of time.
How could you mess with other people?"
As soon as Cao Fang sat down here, he talked about his problems at once, his face was also nervous. When facing his own life and death, even an immortal could not avoid being nervous.
And the key is that he doesn't know who the enemy is or how to prevent it, which makes him very uneasy now.
"Don't be nervous. Calm down. I'm here just to solve this matter for you. You sit down first and I'll ask you some things so that I can understand the situation better." Gu Zheng comforted the other party.
"Okay, senior, as long as I know, I will tell you everything." Cao Fang took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and his face returned to a little normal.
"Do you know that magazine manager? He's the one who brought you tea during your break." Gu Zheng saw that the other party had controlled his emotions and said straight to the point.
He is not going to take action to solve the mark in his body now, nor is he going to tell him. Naturally, he has his own ideas.
"Manager? I don't know his name, but when I was chatting with King Wei, King Wei once said some things about him." Cao Fang thought about it carefully and knew who Gu Zheng was talking about.
"According to King Wei, that man has stayed in the palace since he was a child. His father, including his ancestors for more than ten generations, has been the great steward of the palace, and he is among the princes. However, he was sent to the young prince more than ten years ago.
To serve him, he is almost invisible in normal times. Only at important times, he is still handed over by the prince to take charge of his tasks. It can be said that the prince and his family regard him as the closest person. "
"Then do you know why he was suddenly sent to the young prince? According to you, he held great power before, and he is still strong now, let alone more than ten years ago?" Gu Zheng asked in confusion.
"This King Wei happened to tell me that when he was a child, the young prince had a very bad temper and would not listen to anyone. He was like a little devil, but he was very polite to the housekeeper, so King Wei let him
He used to take care of the young prince, and the young prince's temper gradually got better and better from then on. After only one year, he not only treated others politely, but also knew how to advance and retreat when dealing with outsiders, which greatly pleased the prince. Then the young prince directly
If we take him over, is there something wrong with him? I have observed him and he is just an ordinary person."
Cao Fang finally said doubtfully, because after taking out a good elixir and curing the young prince, King Wei specially asked himself to see the housekeeper to see if there was anything wrong with him, and he looked at everything inside and out.
After checking the other party once, I can't help but feel that he is in good health. There is no other doubt at all. He is just a strong and normal person.
After Gu Zheng heard this, his expression did not change at all, but he sneered in his heart.
Although it sounded like there was nothing wrong with the housekeeper, Gu Zheng was sure that there must be something wrong with the housekeeper, and if he guessed correctly, the young prince might no longer be the son of King Wei.
Or to be precise, the little prince only had one skin, and the rest had probably been taken over by the demon clan, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to feel that faint trace of demonic energy.
You must know that you are not an ordinary monk, but how deep the other party hides it, even if you can hide it from others, you will never hide it from yourself.
But he could not prove that the young prince had died. The monster possessing the young prince was the young prince and had completely replaced him.
Seeing Gu Zheng being silent, Cao Fang was also very anxious, but still did not dare to speak and wake up Gu Zheng.
However, Gu Zheng didn't let him wait much longer. He quickly came to his senses and said to Cao Fei, "I suggest you not to leave in two days. Don't stay here anymore. The person who is keeping an eye on you can't get away yet."
Body, if you really stay too long, then he is very likely to come here directly like me, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, I understand. I will leave early tomorrow morning. I will make an excuse to go out for a while. I won't take the young prince and the others with me." Although Gu Zheng didn't say it clearly, he was so smart that he didn't know that there was something wrong with the young prince.
For the sake of your own life, even if you don't want these apprentices, you can slowly find them if you don't have them anymore, but you only have this one life.
Of course, all of this is Gu Zheng's guess, even though he has nine levels of certainty, so he won't say it explicitly.
"Well, here you go." Gu Zheng took out a dark crystal ball in his hand, "This is a one-time defensive shield. If you encounter danger, break it and it will naturally release a layer of protection for you. Maybe you will encounter danger."
You can still escape from danger."
"Thank you, senior." Cao Fei was very moved and thanked him hurriedly.
"But you still have to be careful. Since you have been beaten, you might be blocked by the other party when you go out. I can only say that the sooner you leave, the lower the risk." Gu Zheng gave final instructions.
"I understand. I guess I was already being watched by the other party when I cured the young prince, because I was a little aware of it, but it was not as obvious as it is now." Cao Fei thought about his own affairs, and was afraid that he
He has fallen into an invisible whirlpool. If Gu Zheng hadn't reminded him, he might have died without knowing how he died.
"But, senior, can't you deal with the other party?" At this time, Cao Fei said cautiously.
"You don't even look at where this is. Could I have intervened?" Gu Zheng said coldly, while pointing up.
"I'm confused." Cao Fei then remembered that not to mention the Golden Immortal, not even the Saint had the right to interfere in the replacement of the imperial power. He had been here for so many days and had a general understanding of the current situation. In addition, the Ye family's arrival in the evening
Yes, some problems have been brought to the surface.
"Well, you should be careful next time, I'm leaving first." As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, he disappeared from the other party's room.
Although Cao Fei wants to leave now, the city gate has been sealed. Although he has a way to get out, it is a dark and windy month. If the other party keeps staring at him, it will be the best chance for the other party.
Cao Fei decided to wait all night, until noon in the day, when there were many ordinary people outside, and it was impossible for the other party to dare to attack him in broad daylight.
Thinking of this, Cao Fei felt a little more at ease and put up layers of protection around his room.
He didn't have the slightest doubt about Gu Zheng's words. Not to mention that the other party had helped him before, but with the other party's cultivation, it was too easy to kill him silently, and there was no need to go to such trouble.
Gu Zheng, who had just walked out of the palace, already felt that the demon clan had begun to take action to clean up the end. He did not expect that the other party had penetrated so much power. If it were later and waited for the other party to continue to grow, I am afraid that Gu Zheng would not be able to stop the other party in the end.
Now before the other party notices that he is here, cut off a section of the other party's claws.
And Cao Fei is the person who leads the opponent. Gu Zheng doesn't think that he can find the opponent's backbone by going to the snow mountain station. Even if there are monsters, they are probably just a few indifferent kittens, which will not harm the overall situation at all.
However, the protection Gu Zheng gave him had already put a bit of his evil power into it, so he couldn't help but strengthen the defense. Moreover, he knew the location of his accident immediately and could rush there quickly.
But Gu Zheng's smile didn't last long. As soon as he left the palace, Gu Zheng rushed towards Xu's mansion. On the way, he suddenly frowned again because the protection he left on Yu Tian's body was activated.
When leaving, because Gu Zheng was worried, Yu Zhen and the others left a trace of protection on their bodies, mainly because they were afraid that if the other party could not enter the Xu Mansion, he would be able to find them.
The second is that Yu Zhen was indispensable for Cao Fei to come to the palace, because he was the one who introduced Cao Fei to the palace, and everyone knew that they were leaving today, so they were afraid that the other party would ambush them.
He couldn't sense what was going on outside at all in the palace. As a result, he didn't realize it until he came out and Yutian's protection was activated.
As for Yu Zhen, the protective shield on his body had already been activated.
With a slight awareness, the opponent's figure had already left the city. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened in such a short period of time. Gu Zheng flashed towards the west gate in a flash.
At this time, in an open space not far from the north gate, five people surrounded a relatively dim white figure and kept attacking. And outside, there was another person, looking at the figure outside, constantly blocking the figure's attack.
Although he could defeat her easily, he still couldn't break through that layer of protection.
Although there was only a thin layer, it still left them somewhat helpless.
So at present, it seems that they are attacking them, but in fact they know that they are just trying their best to prevent the other party from breaking out.
The businesswoman in white clothes on the outside once again repelled the opponent's desperate attack. Looking at the difficult situation behind her, she said anxiously, "Brother, do you want me to help?"
"No, the other party can't hold on any longer. Just keep an eye on the other party and don't let them run away." came a thick voice, looking obviously tired.
Not only him, but the other four people were also a little out of breath. They didn't expect the opponent to be so difficult to deal with, but the opponent's protective shield was about to fall off, indicating that the opponent could not hold on for much longer.
Originally, they obeyed the orders from above and ambush the other party's route, but after waiting for them to come, they sent someone to inquire, and they actually went towards the route of Xu Mansion, which shocked them.
Fortunately, their speed was not very fast. They seemed to be talking about something along the way and did not notice their hasty ambush. However, when they launched the attack, this old man, who seemed to be about the same strength as them, actually instantly killed the four of them.
They all blocked it back.
This was really beyond their expectations. The old man's explosive power was something they had never thought of before.
Fortunately, the fifth and sixth sisters who were standing by saw that the situation was not going well. They took advantage of the girl disguised as a teenager and took a few steps back in surprise. They rushed towards her and snatched her away.
When everyone saw it, they were overjoyed and retreated towards the north gate according to the original plan. At this time, their battle had attracted the attention of some people.
Because the order from above was to capture them alive, and they were given detailed information about the target mission. If they caught the other party's granddaughter, the other party would definitely follow them obediently.
Everything was back to normal. They knew the old man's fighting power, otherwise they wouldn't have sent all of them here. Unexpectedly, the four of them surrounded him and barely managed a draw with the opponent.
However, no matter how strong the opponent was, it didn't take long for the breath to fall quickly. But when they were about to succeed, there was a magic weapon on them, and it seemed to replenish the opponent's exhausted body, catching them off guard in an instant.
The fifth sister on the periphery also joined the fight and barely blocked the opponent. Originally, the sixth sister wanted to use the granddaughter to threaten the opponent. It had some effect at first. This discovery made the opponent afraid and worried about her comfort.
.
But when the girl got angry, she grabbed a dagger out of nowhere and stabbed Liu Mei's arm instantly. Although the opponent's strength was only two levels, she didn't have any protection at the time, so she subconsciously hit the opponent's arm.
This was an incredible move, and her protective shield was instantly knocked out. This time, no one had the energy to do anything to her. Fortunately, she was not strong, and Liu Mei could only block her troubles by herself.
"Yutian, leave quickly, leave me alone, and go find Mr. Gu." Yu Zhen over there saw that the shield outside him was about to go out, and couldn't help shouting.
He knew that this defense might be the protection given to them by Gu Zheng, otherwise they would have been captured by the other party, but that silly girl still wanted to rescue him.
"I won't leave, I want to be with grandpa." She knew in her heart that she couldn't run out at all. Although she was not in danger for the time being, when she ran, the other party blocked her, and her speed was not fast. It was no different from this situation.
, it is better to harass them and cause trouble for them.
"None of you can run away, so just stay put and you won't have to suffer much later." At this time, the eldest brother could finally breathe a little easier and couldn't help but laugh.
This was their first mission. Unexpectedly, this time the mysterious man promised them that if they completed six missions for him, he would give them an antidote each time. This time, he gave them an antidote directly.
When the girl ate it, the poison in her body was detoxified, which made them ecstatic.
That's why I work so hard. No matter what, at least I have a hope.
"You will be dead when my master comes." Yutian said angrily over there, looking at them fiercely.
"Stop scaring us. I know your details very well. You are just learning from your grandfather and you want to scare us. I think you can give up your resistance. Maybe I can work together with you in the future." I continued to resist the rain inside.
The fifth sister, who was attacking, smiled sweetly and said, "I have seen through your trick a long time ago."
Although once they were caught, their fate would definitely not be much better, but in order to offset the other party's thoughts of resistance, they lied casually.
"Humph, I just recognized the master today. He is an immortal. It's too late for you to regret it." Yutian looked at his grandfather who was now unable to break out. He could only block the opponent's attack with difficulty, and the protective shield on his body was almost almost gone.
I can't see clearly, it will probably break soon.
"Okay, little guy, I won't say whether your master has met today, but you are going to have a visit with me today. When your master comes, let him go there to find you." Liu Mei, who was leisurely outside, said.
.
There was a slight "pop" sound, and finally the protective shield on Yu Zhen's body was broken. He was knocked over by the opponent without resisting a few moves and was knocked unconscious.
"grandfather!"
Yutian watched his grandfather pass out and couldn't help shouting.
"Are you going to surrender on your own, or should I force you? You don't want your grandpa to get hurt." The elder brother weighed Yu Zhen out and put a long knife between his neck, threatening him.
Yutian watched as the other party slowly gathered around him. With the sound of glass shattering slightly in the air, she simply closed the shield.
"Hurry up and tie her up. There is news over there that someone is coming this way." As soon as Zai Yutian heard these words, he felt a pain in the back of his head and passed out.
"If I had known, I would have persisted more." Before Yu Tian fell into coma, a thought flashed through his mind, thinking that Gu Zheng must have discovered their situation and was looking for them here, and then fell into coma.
In the sky, a stream of light came here instantly, and a figure stayed in the sky. There were still some scattered traces of shock on the ground, but there was no one nearby.
After searching to no avail, a violent aura suddenly erupted from the figure, forming a hurricane that swept across the ground, and then turned into a meteor and disappeared in the distance.
