In the wilderness outside, Ma Nan, who was advancing, was shocked and stopped immediately.
"What's wrong? Chief Ma."
Accompanying him is a tall demon soul who is also a subordinate of Lord Jin's clan. This time he specially accompanied Ma Nan to the city where their clan is located, preparing to introduce each other to each other so that the other party can become an external support here.
Seeing Ma Nan's shocked expression, he asked in surprise.
"It's okay, the special envoy is worried. I just suddenly remembered something." Ma Nan's face slowly calmed down when he heard his question.
"Well, why don't we take a rest and wait until you feel better before heading on the road. There's no rush anyway." The envoy knew that the other party just didn't want to say anything, but he didn't care and instead said thoughtfully.
He is just an ordinary demon soul in the middle stage of Golden Immortal. It goes without saying that Ma Nan's future status will definitely go without saying, so he is also willing to form a good relationship.
"That's fine, it's troublesome." Ma Nan also said according to the situation, because at this moment, he still couldn't believe it.
Commander Mi is dead!
He just felt in his heart that Commander Mi was dead. This was not just the death of his friend who had been accompanying him. He had already thought of Master Jin and the battle that took place over there.
Is there anything I didn't pay attention to?
But it was too late to say anything now. If Commander Mi died, he felt that Lord Jin and his party, as well as his own men, would not end well. The best outcome would be to be captured by the other party.
No matter what, his plan to stay at Lord Jin's place this time must be changed.
Although there are still some scattered guarding subordinates outside, the most important combat members have been brought over. As long as they help Master Jin perform meritorious service, he doesn't care if they die. Anyway, they are just stepping stones. If they are not recruiting again, it will be a delay at most.
some time.
But if Mr. Jin dies, then there will be no need to say more about the consequences for him. He will definitely be used as a scapegoat. By then, he will be in the opponent's power. Once the news comes, his fate can be imagined.
Even if Lord Jin is not dead, the good relationship with him is definitely gone. Even Commander Mi is dead, which shows how bad the situation is over there. He must leave and cannot go there.
The only good news is that I have already completed the transformation and I just need to wait quietly. The bad news is that if things go really bad, I will be alone again and be hunted by both sides.
It’s really a loss of my wife and a loss of soldiers!
Thinking of this, he looked at the envoy who was about to fall to the ground and immediately flew away. At this time, his best way was to find a place to hide and wait until he regained his strength before going to take a look.
No matter what happened, he would never put his fate in the hands of others again.
"Hey, where is Leader Ma and the others?"
The envoy who came to the ground looked back, only to find that Ma Nan's figure had disappeared. He was suddenly startled, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
But without Ma Nan, he didn't dare to go back. When he saw that there was no shadow of the other party around him, and he was not joking with himself, he wailed in his heart, and then flew in one direction. He was going to find Ma Nan.
.......
"Where did you pick this person up from, or is this the person you want to pick up?"
At the entrance of the Black Hall, Elder Gu watched Gu Zheng approaching. After seeing the unconscious man behind him, he asked strangely.
Although she didn't care about the opponent's appearance, the opponent seemed a bit weak. Even at the early stage of Golden Immortal, he probably couldn't defeat even her guards.
"The person I picked up just came here, and I happened to meet him. When I came here, the other person helped me cover him. Only then could I sneak in. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to successfully sneak attack on the other person." Gu Zheng admitted directly.
.
You must know that when the other party comes in, there will definitely be an exception to patrol. Gu Zheng is not confident that he can avoid the other party's detection. After all, the life marks are different. If he is discovered, it will be difficult to have such a result.
They were not attacked by surprise, so they may not be able to stop them.
If the other party escapes, this place will be even more dangerous. Once they realize that there is so much strength here, the other party will definitely be wary. Once one of them returns, the next exploration will naturally come soon.
Now that the entire opponent's army has been wiped out, no one knows the news of their failure, at least they can fight for a long time.
"That's it." Elder Gu nodded and didn't say anything else. She also knew what was going on.
Now that the whole outside of the Black Hall has returned to normal, Gu Zheng looked around and found no trace of those people, and then asked curiously.
"What do you do with those Ma Nan people?"
"Imprison him now, and then find time to refine them all into puppets. Some of them will supplement the materials I need." Elder Gu said matter-of-factly.
"You know, the basic materials required to summon these are very few, but there are some key places that are still very difficult to find. Not every black water contains energy, but they naturally have it in their bodies. This is what I will say later.
The reason why the guards cannot be summoned."
When Elder Gu faced the ancient dispute, he still explained it in detail, fearing that the other party would misunderstand something.
"Can't it be recovered? Comparatively speaking, if the other party is forced to be a subordinate, it is better than a puppet. You must know that the other party's cultivation level can be left, and no one is weak in strength." Gu Zheng frowned, and quickly
Just let go and continue asking.
"I think so too. After all, there are so many people. I have many ways to conquer some of them, but there are indelible marks on the opponent's body. I took a look and found that there is no way." Elder Gu also felt a little regretful. If there was no way, there would be no way.
I won't do anything like killing the goose that lays the eggs.
"Otherwise, let me go and have a look. If I can erase the opponent's mark, then I will keep them first, and there is a better way to pay attention. Once successful, you won't have to worry about the opponent's threat for a short time.
"Gu Zheng thought for a moment and then said.
"Well, I will wait for your good news in the Black Hall."
Thinking that the mark in Gu Zheng's body before was completely gone now, Elder Gu directly agreed. Even if Gu Zheng wanted to try, she was willing. After all, there was such a group of subordinates. Even if they were not convinced, she could still control the other party and make them do what they wanted.
She does things.
That benefit was completely different from the decision I made. I had no choice but to do the worst. I would not kill them in vain, which would be a waste.
After telling Gu Zheng where they were being held, Elder Gu shook his head and walked towards the Black Hall.
Taking advantage of this little time, there is still some guard work to be done. As for your own consumption, there is no need to worry. Anyway, there will be no enemies for a long time, and the tense spirit can be relaxed a little.
Gu Zheng walked toward the mountains behind him, and those people were simply placed in that position.
"Look, it's the mysterious man who came to help Elder Gu."
After Gu Zheng walked around the Black Hall, some of Elder Gu's men were busy repairing some damaged buildings. When they saw Gu Zheng approaching, they immediately whispered to each other.
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so powerful. I really don't know why they can still come down with such advanced cultivation. I can't imagine it." Another person with a lower cultivation level also echoed.
Although the other party's voice was low, Gu Zheng could still hear it clearly. After the other party drove the enemy away, his body seemed to have endless energy. Several people were talking about him. He could only speed up his pace and quickly pass this distance.
, after bypassing the rocks in front, Ergenzi was now a little cleaner.
"Master Gu."
As soon as he turned around, he saw Xiao Fang standing guard not far away. After seeing Gu Zheng come out, he immediately stepped forward and shouted.
Gu Zheng nodded and walked towards the other party.
Under the mountain peak here, there is an open space that has been dug out by humans. There are some gravels scattered around it that have not been cleaned up. It is obvious that Elder Gu opened it before to detain people like them.
"I don't know if I can help you?" Xiao Fang saw Gu Zheng walking towards this side and asked.
He knew that this was Elder Gu's friend who saved them from danger. They were completely unprepared. Without his intervention, they would have been doomed long ago, so he came over diligently to see if he could help. Even the guard
I don't care about responsibility anymore.
"I'm going in. If there's nothing else to do, you continue to guard." Gu Zheng refused the other party's help and walked directly inside.
The latter retreated sarcastically and continued to stand there as a wooden stake. After all, with Elder Gu's barrier, the people inside had no chance to come out. His role was to serve as a pillar.
The passage is more than one person wide, and within a few steps there is a layer of rippling gray-white barrier. Relatively speaking, the gray-white color is still very light, and you can see the situation inside relatively clearly.
Standing outside, Gu Zheng looked inside very carefully, but he couldn't see outside anyway.
As a temporary detention place for them, of course, there were no good conditions. They were surrounded by rocks, and the space was extremely narrow. It was like trying to drive ducks away, so they were crammed in without caring about anything.
Although they have failed and their fate is no longer on their side, some people still can't stand such a crowded place. Although they can't go out, they can still carve out a temporary foothold on the hard rock next to them.
So when Gu Zheng saw many people standing on the wall, almost filling up the surrounding area, with only palm-sized stone pillars supporting them, he made the space below a little looser.
Most of them were dejected and there was no conversation. Everyone looked lifeless. Only a few showed unwillingness and whispered to the people around them. Unfortunately, the other party ignored them at all. They only talked in low voices, as if they were planning something.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng felt partially confident that this was also the only chance.
Those who are unwilling to give in are naturally die-hard members of Ma Nan's side, and they may be a group of people who entered very early. For such people, there is no room for negotiation. Guzheng has marked them, and they will
At that time, he was trained into a puppet by Elder Gu.
He will not show mercy to such an enemy.
As for the remaining people, there is still a chance to fight for it.
After all, the mark in the opponent's body, no matter how deeply infected they are, will involuntarily obey Ma Nan's orders, but the opponent has not activated it, which means they have not completely fallen into the abyss.
Once activated, there was no chance at all. This made Gu Zheng confident and walked directly across the barrier.
As for whether the other party agrees or disagrees, it has nothing to do with him. If they disagree, they must agree. If they want to die, he will help the other party, and it has nothing to do with him.
Of course Gu Zheng didn't know that although Ma Nan also wanted to activate these marks, on the one hand, these marks were not planted for a long time, and many of them did not reach a very good ideal state. Secondly, he did not find a suitable opportunity, so he kept delaying it.
, I want to activate it together when the time comes.
On the contrary, he was not as decisive as Commander Mi. He activated his own part when he came. Unfortunately, he was all killed by Elder Gu in the front.
Gu Zheng's appearance made everyone inside raise their heads and look at this uninvited guest. People they knew or didn't know all looked at him.
They knew that Gu Zheng was from Elder Gu's side.
Perhaps this time it was decided whether they would live or die. Those who were standing on it did not dare to stand on it and fell down one after another. People were crowded together, and the crowd inevitably moved closer to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng looked at the people inside. The group of people that Xijie and Xiaohou had been with didn't dare to look up at Gu Zheng. There were some people with more eager eyes. Although they were Ma Nan's people, their last wish at this time was,
I don't want to die like this for him.
There are also those who are nervous or pretend to be calm, but their hearts are different.
"I'll give it to you now..."
Gu Zheng didn't care, he smiled slightly and spoke, but as soon as the words came out, several people suddenly appeared from the crowd and rushed directly towards Gu Zheng.
And further away, there are more than a dozen figures rushing toward them, seemingly wanting to be alone, even if there is no hope, they still want to try.
Gu Zheng's originally gentle face suddenly turned cold. Looking at the people rushing towards him, murderous aura instantly rose from his heart, spreading around like a blizzard.
The Ma Nan members here suddenly felt that the surrounding temperature plummeted, as if they were naked in a world of ice and snow.
The members who rushed towards them were also affected, and their speed was greatly reduced, but they still gritted their teeth and rushed towards the opponent.
They would rather these people die than be used by the other party, so they do nothing but make the other party angry. In this way, their mission will be completed.
However, in their situation, even if their cultivation level is still there, they cannot exert even 50% of their strength in this barrier.
Following Gu Zheng's cold snort, no movement was seen, and the figures in the sky suddenly turned into a black mist.
In order to reduce trouble, all the people who had been marked before were eliminated together. Anyway, these die-hard elements did not expect the other party to surrender.
As slight explosions came one after another, these people looked at their companions beside them, and each one turned into a wisp of black mist. They thought it was the other party's revenge. Everyone looked at Gu Zheng in fear, letting Gu Zheng
The area around him suddenly became empty, and they were all crowded in the back. Apart from fear, all other emotions were gone.
"Okay, now you can listen to me. I don't expect you to agree anyway."
After all those eyesores were dealt with, the frost on Gu Zheng's face disappeared again, and the surroundings returned to normal. However, looking at Gu Zheng's smiling face and the cold tone of his voice, everyone felt trembling in their hearts.
Something is not good.
Whether it was good or not, Gu Zheng didn't know, but he felt that he was about to collapse.
After five days of busy work, Gu Zheng walked out, faced Xiao Fang who had been guarding him, and asked him to give Elder Gu a message. Then he hurriedly left and found a room nearby. It was not easy to be alert.
, began to recover.
The process of removing the mark is really difficult. Even if the other party does not resist, no matter how he manipulates it, everyone who removes the mark can't help but wail in severe pain, making everyone think that he is torturing them for fun.
It's easier to tell if someone has been imprinted for a relatively short time, but for those who have been imprinted for a very long time, it will be more difficult.
But despite this, there were more than twenty people who did not endure the pain and died of pain.
If Gu Zheng hadn't tied up all of them, he would have suspected that these people would rather come and die than suffer such inhuman torture.
The other person was in pain, and he was also tortured, but he couldn't stop the other person's mouth, so he could only endure it.
It took half a month of cultivation to recover. He decided that if there were such people again, he would rather the other person die than help them solve the hidden dangers in their body.
The key is that the other party doesn't know yet. It's really depressing to think that Gu Zheng has such a perverted hobby.
Shaking his head, Gu Zheng removed the barrier and prepared to go out to find Elder Gu. He still had an idea that he had not told the other party.
As a result, after opening the door, Mo You was found wandering at the door. He was also startled by his appearance. Now he was looking at Gu Zheng with some fear, as if he wanted to run away.
"Why are you here? Someone bullied you?" Gu Zheng was helpless when he saw the other party's appearance, but at least he was a little used to it and didn't show any surprise.
"No, I was just thinking that I have nothing to do here. I always feel something is wrong. I want to see what I can do." Mo You said after returning to normal.
In fact, after knowing that she was brought by Gu Zheng, she was not bullied in any way. Instead, she was respected. No matter what she did, there were people to help her, so there was no need to feel aggrieved.
However, this also made her a little uneasy, and she always felt uneasy. She knew that Gu Zheng would definitely leave here, and she would not be able to follow him. As time went by, these people would not always remember it, so she still felt that having a job of her own was enough.
Okay, this way you won't be excluded.
Although Gu Zheng has not left yet, she already knows that she will definitely be left here. For her own consideration, she has been lingering in front of Gu Zheng.
"So that's what happened, no problem, don't worry." Upon hearing this, Gu Zheng understood what the other party meant and agreed directly.
After hearing Gu Zheng's assurance, Mo You left here happily. For him, it was enough to be able to live safely here. She really didn't care about the rest.
The only thing that puzzled her was why she came here. That part of the memory in her mind was gone.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you live, no matter what form you take, at least you are still yourself, right?
