After they all left, Gu Zheng immediately sealed the door.
At this time, Gu Zheng also groaned and pressed his palms on the table next to him. His cheeks that were originally nonchalant also turned red. After a long while, he slowly returned to normal.
A pill was put into Gu Zheng's mouth, he closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.
You must know that the purple lightning at the end seemed so powerful, but it consumed 50% of the mana in Gu Zheng's body. He was so exhausted that he almost fainted on the spot.
Moreover, the reason why Man Li was severely injured was because the opponent did not expect that he would launch such a fierce attack. As a result, his physical body directly pushed forward, but he only caused such a small amount of damage to the opponent, which shows how strong his body is.
If Ziyi had taken control of it himself, the other party would have been killed in one fell swoop.
No matter what, I will probably be clean for a while and no one will bother me, which is worth it.
However, Elder Ye’s matter may have to be put aside for the time being.
After thinking about it carefully again, only a trace of spiritual thoughts were left outside, and Gu Zheng completely fell into recuperation.
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. For Gu Zheng, it was just a snap of his fingers. At this time, he finally healed some of the injuries in his body and returned to his best condition.
As soon as I went out, the entire courtyard was completely empty. The wind blew past me, but no other sounds could be heard. It seemed as if everyone had left.
There was also a layer of dust in the yard. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned for quite some time. Even the pool in the corner had some weeds.
After a little awareness, I realized that I was indeed the only one here.
I walked towards Wenwai, not knowing where they had been this year.
After just two steps, I heard the sound of opening the door from outside.
A somewhat unfamiliar young man walked in from outside, holding some things that could be used in daily life. He immediately became excited when he saw Gu Zheng.
"Elder Gu, are you awake? I was ordered by Elder Yu to stay here and wait for you to wake up." The young man quickly put down the things in his hands and said respectfully to Gu Zheng.
"Where are they?" Gu Zheng felt that the other person's aura was indeed from the Shui Tribe and couldn't help but ask.
"They all left here not long after the ancient elder retreated. Because our water tribe was reorganized into a new place, everyone went there, but I stayed and waited for the elder to come out! Do you want to go to our new place now?
Place." The young man said quickly.
"Let's go!" Gu Zheng thought for a while, and he had nothing else to do, so he set off directly towards the territory of Shuixin.
Along the way, Gu Zheng asked the young man some things.
Thanks to Gu Zheng's blessing, his arrival allowed them to finally pass the plan they had been applying for to change their territory, but it was not the best place before. They also knew that even if Gu Zheng existed, the Shui Tribe could not occupy that place, so
They continued in the north direction and were not too far away from the Southern Demon City.
There is a natural valley there. As long as it is opened underground and water flows in, it will be a very good location.
There is always black wind on the right above, so ensure your own safety and basically don’t worry about sneak attacks from the other side.
The space in the valley is also large enough for all of them to live in it.
As for some of the loose monsters that originally lived there, they were of course expelled by them. With the prestige of the ancient battle, these loose monsters left without saying anything.
Although there were golden immortal masters among them, otherwise they wouldn't have occupied this place, but Gu Zheng could pick them all off by himself, and there was an order signed by the master, so they were wise enough to get out of the way.
And what makes Gu Zheng unexpected is that Fan Yu is still alive now, because the Fan family has spent a lot of money to find a Thousand Soul Grass, and the person with the high reward is very exciting.
This kind of grass can only survive deep in the Beishan Mountains, and it is very rare. It is rumored that Thousand Soul Grass also exists on the first line of peaks, but unfortunately no one has the courage to look for it.
It seems that an expert took action to save his life, but Gu Zheng didn't care. Now the other party may have known that it was him, so he should be careful of the other party stumbling upon him.
Soldiers will block you, water will cover you, and as long as Da Luo doesn't take action, the opponent will have no deterrent effect on you. If you threaten the Shui tribe, Gu Zheng can only say that it's up to you.
It's just a place to hide one's identity, but Yingshao needs to protect herself, maybe it will be useful.
Moreover, Gu Zheng also noticed one thing from the young man's tone, that is, Nanyao City seems to be conducting strict inspections now. In his words, usually at this time, it is the front end of the battle. I am afraid that the battle will begin soon.
It's about to start again.
This made Gu Zheng a little worried. He hadn't rescued Elder Ye yet, so the battle started again.
The frequency of this battle is completely different from what Xingcai told him, and I don't know why I feel a little strange in my heart.
A week later, Gu Zheng came to this valley. It was indeed a good place. There was a small lake in the middle, which they had dug out with great effort.
Welcomed by Yu Ye and other water tribes, and after an unusually grand ceremony, the valley calmed down again, and Gu Zheng also settled down inside.
At this time, after three years of construction, everything above and below ground has been built.
Most of the aquatic people still live below, while those humans live above and have returned to their previous life trajectory.
The only difference is that the environment has become better and no one bothers them anymore.
Three days later, in a luxurious room on the ground, Gu Zheng was sitting on the main seat, listening to Lu Jun's defeat below.
"The guy who came to humiliate us last time was beaten half to death by his parents. It's really satisfying to bring him here to confess his guilt!" After Lu Jun reported some things, he couldn't help but talk about that humiliation. If it hadn't been for that
This time, maybe we can really miss the ancient battle.
Speaking of fate, it is really amazing. If Gu Zheng had not met Gu Zheng, if Gu Zheng left here after getting his own things, then their Aquatic Tribe would be completely finished.
Now he is still in charge of the entire Shui Tribe, and Yu Ye is still giving guidance from behind. It seems that he has trained him as his successor.
"Only when you are strong can you win the respect of others. You need to practice more. Go and call Yingshao over. If you have any questions, please contact her!" Gu Zheng gave a brief warning and then said again.
"yes!"
Soon Yingshao rushed over from outside with an excited look on her face.
On the day Gu Zheng came back, she happened to be sleeping in the underground river below. As a result, Luo Xin didn't find her. When she found her again, Gu Zheng was hiding behind closed doors and didn't see anyone until this time.
"Elder Gu, I miss you so much. You have been in seclusion for so long this time, longer than the time I spent sleeping." Ying Shao threw herself directly next to Gu Zheng's chair from below and said happily.
"Then how long can you sleep?" Gu Zheng asked deliberately.
"Well, the most I slept at one time was a year. If I hadn't been so hungry, I would have still been able to sleep!" Yingshao thought for a while and said.
"Awesome!" Gu Zheng raised his thumbs and praised, looking at the other party's proud face, he continued, "Did you find out the information I asked you to inquire about?"
Previously, Gu Zheng gave her a very big task, which was to get some information from Luo Xin. Since the other party can hang out with Fan Yu, he must know a lot of secrets.
As for Yingshao's innocent and unpretentious attitude, as long as she inquired carefully, no one would doubt her motives.
"I found out that Sister Luo Xin told me about it for a long time. It was really exciting, but I felt it was too dangerous and a little scared!" Yingshao said excitedly at first, but then she turned into a worried look, as if
It was like facing the bloody storm outside.
"You, you can't hide all the time. You have to face it by yourself sooner or later!" Gu Zheng said seriously, but it seemed that Yingshao didn't care at all.
"I just follow the elder. If there is something you can't solve, I can't help you. At worst, I'm hiding. No one can find me. I will hide you together." Yingshao laughed heartlessly here.
He chuckled.
"By the way, I forgot. Sister Luo Xin told me that during that battle..."
Yingshao suddenly slapped her head and quickly told her what Gu Zheng had entrusted to her.
"It took me two years to find out these things. It's amazing!" Yingshao said proudly in the end.
"Awesome, go down and don't tell anyone about this! Do you understand?" Gu Zheng praised him again in a dumbfounded voice. Yingshao nodded with a smile and then jumped away from here.
Seeing Yingshao leaving here, Gu Zheng also stood up and walked outside.
The information Yingshao found out did point out the direction, but it would be best to find out the details herself. But now that the general is inside, she has no confidence that she can sneak in secretly under his nose.
The place where Elder Ye was imprisoned was indeed on the other side of the General's Mansion, which made him very embarrassed.
Walking on the road outside, Gu Zheng looked at the humans who were taking care of the surrounding environment, cleaning up all the useless things such as weeds, and transporting all the stones. In short, most people were not idle.
.
When some adults saw Gu Zheng approaching, they quickly knelt on the ground. It wasn't until Gu Zheng left that they dared to get up and continue doing what they were doing.
Gu Zheng didn't ask about them. Even though they were all disheveled and a little thin, he could not change their status by himself. If he gave them rashly, it would bring disaster to them.
Their situation is much better now than in Nanyao City.
At least the water tribe has a gentle temperament and will not beat them for fun without any reason.
While walking, suddenly a bird from outside flew in from the entrance and shouted loudly at the same time.
"Emergency order! Emergency order!"
The sharp voice immediately echoed in the valley, ensuring that everyone could hear what he was saying.
Gu Zheng dodged and stood in front of him, causing him to flap his wings crazily and almost bumping into him. Even so, he didn't dare to say anything because he had also watched the battle a few years ago. Of course
Understand who is this person in front of you.
"What's going on?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Elder Ancient, now the General has issued an order that all races belonging to Nanyao City must gather at Nanguan within three months to prepare for battle." This bird spoke in human language.
At this time, Yu Ye and three others also heard the sound and flew up from the water below, just in time to hear his words.
"Why is the war about to start so soon this time?" Yao Yu said with some confusion. At the same time, he looked to the side with doubtful eyes, but saw that Yu Ye was also shaking his head at him, expressing that he didn't know.
"According to previous records, each battle was separated by at least a hundred years and no longer than five thousand years before an attack would be launched on the opposite side. However, this time only fifteen years have passed, which is much earlier. How strange!
"Pi Yuanlong here said slowly.
"I don't know either. I just conveyed the order to you. This time it was very sudden. All races were notified!" The bird said quickly as he saw four people looking at him with their eyes.
"I know, we won't be late!" Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Yu Ye replied.
As the bird flew away from here, Gu Zheng turned his attention to the three of them.
"Elder, let's talk about it later. Yao Yu, go find Lu Jun and ask Zong Hua and the others to gather directly at Nanguan!" Yu Ye spoke directly here. He knew that Gu Zheng didn't understand much, so he would give it to him later.
he explained.
"You are still at home this time! You go and mobilize those people first, and we will set off in a few days." Yu Ye turned to Pi Yuanlong and said.
Pi Yuanlong nodded and without saying anything else, he fell directly into the lake below and went to inform those people below.
"Elder, please! I'll give you a general introduction and you'll know!" At this time, Yu Ye turned to Gu Zheng and said.
The two of them went down together. In fact, before they reached the hall dedicated to the parliament, where Gu Zheng had been before, he had already finished speaking.
Gu Zheng himself knew about the same and didn't say much, but it was not for the purpose of destroying the opponent, but for the purpose of training his troops, so he initiated the fight together.
But if the war goes well, they will capture some humans and bring them back to serve as slaves.
But if they go a little too far, the monster clan guarding the city opposite will also send guarding soldiers to drive them away.
It's completely different from what Xingcai said. It's indeed a bit strange. Doesn't the opponent know about such a long battle?
The only similarity is that the monsters here will not sacrifice too much. Once they reach a certain limit, they will retreat.
This weird thought passed by in a flash. Maybe they had a tacit understanding to suppress the human race. This was the biggest possibility that Gu Zheng thought of.
In short, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in Gu Zheng's heart. It seemed that it was not what he imagined. However, there were no other clues and he didn't know what it was, so he could only put it down and wait until later.
Soon, the water tribes who were underground appeared on the ground one after another, lined up neatly, and there were more than a thousand warriors. However, their cultivation levels were basically at the fourth and fifth levels, and none at the lower level. Perhaps their combat power was not up to standard.
Unable to exit.
After these people were assembled, under the leadership of Yu Ye, they headed south along the river and rushed towards the South Pass.
Gu Zheng did not interfere at all during this period and followed the other party silently. He waited until the third day after leaving their valley before he asked.
"It's so early. Isn't it a little too early for us to rush there so quickly?"
"It's getting late. The general has a habit. The later someone comes, the more difficult the battle will be. So the sooner, the better. If you don't come within three months, then wait for the general's personal greetings.
We people can't afford to sacrifice anything. If we can reduce our losses, we will lose less." Yu Ye said with an ugly face.
In a battle, it's impossible not to die, it's just a matter of how many.
"Elder Gu, why don't you go there first, there is no danger here!" Yu Ye suggested here, even if they were speeding up, it would still take at least half a month.
"Okay, I'll go take a look first and contact me in time if anything happens." Gu Zheng thought about it and decided not to accompany them.
After saying that, Gu Zheng's figure broke away from the team, turned into a blue light in the air and disappeared in front of the team.
A few days later, Gu Zheng, who was going all out, came to the east of Nanyao City again.
In fact, the location of Nanyao City is right in the middle of this huge canyon. It takes only one day's journey from the city gate to the entrance of the canyon after leaving the nearest city gate.
When Gu Zheng came here, many demon clan members were also walking inside in groups.
These people move freely and form a team to fight together. Of course, they get what they get, but they cannot interfere with the general's affairs.
Under normal circumstances, it is the demon tribe that launches the first attack. In the long history, humans over there have only taken the initiative to attack once, and the losses were huge. They stayed in and did not go out. They just relied on defense and retreated. Only in this way can the maximum damage be reduced.
.
While thinking about it, Gu Zheng followed the flow of people and walked in. The canyon was not a straight line, but it felt a bit curved. After walking for a while, there was only a mountain wall behind.
The outermost part of the Nanguan Canyon is the widest, but the further you go in, you can feel that both sides begin to become narrower. I estimate that after walking for only half an hour, the width is only one-tenth of the original size, and almost everything on both sides is
Even looking at the right-angled mountain wall, you can see traces of black mist blowing across the top.
The black wind completely dispelled everyone's thoughts of climbing over. Countless human beings and monsters were damaged on it. As long as you go deep into it, none of the weaker human beings and monsters can come out alive.
Even if some powerful people manage to break through, they will be unable to do anything if their bodies are seriously injured.
At this time, some guards in black armor stood at the front and began to block the way of the scattered people. Looking forward from here, they found a wall dozens of feet high, linking the two sides together and completely blocking the passage.
, but there are several stone gates below that are also more than ten feet tall, and they are now tightly closed.
All these loose monsters are blocked here and are not allowed to take a step forward.
There were not many people at this time, only a hundred or so people in total, so it didn't seem crowded at all.
Moreover, there are not many people following behind, and it seems that more demons have not come yet.
After all, it is still early, and as an attacker, you have enough time to prepare.
Gu Zheng took out his identity card, flashed it in front of the soldiers, and walked in smoothly.
