"It doesn't matter if you alarm the other party, as long as you come back successfully."
The elder in the middle spoke up and said with great admiration.
Not only her, but the two elders next to her also looked appreciatively. During the time when Mengzhen disappeared, because Mengzhen was the only one left, all the assessments were placed on her.
And this time is the last test of the other party. Even if Mengzhen came back some time ago and is nominally the first heir, he has completely lost hope unless the other party is doing something that all the elders agree with.
Mengshu raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, but quickly suppressed it again. She knew that even if she was qualified, it would take a long time to polish her skills, and she would take over the rights of the clan little by little.
"This time I asked the elders to see my results, and I made a surprising discovery." Mengshi continued.
Gu Zheng and Mengzhen stood aside. He looked at the high-spirited Mengchu, and could feel the other's inner confidence. Compared with Mengzhen who pretended to be weak, he felt that he was indeed more suitable for this position.
"Oh? Then bring it with you." The more mature elder on the left nodded when he heard Mengshui's words and directly agreed with her idea.
"To be honest, I can't wait to know what amazing discovery you have made." The elder on the right also smiled, with the same curious look in his eyes.
"Wait a moment, I'll come in when I'm ready."
Mengshu bowed to the people above and retreated, leaving Gu Zheng and Mengzhen alone.
The three elders immediately looked at the two of them, and quickly looked away. It was the elder in the middle who spoke first.
"I remember that there was no outstanding person like you among the Fantasy Clan. With your strength, there is no way you would be so unknown."
Gu Zheng's hidden cultivation did not escape the other party's investigation. He also knew that he could not escape at all. After all, the strength of these three elders, the lowest one on the left, had the cultivation of the middle Da Luo. In their words, they had human souls.
Mid-term.
Mengshui and Mengzhen, on the other hand, are only in the early stages of human souls, so they don't know why they choose the clan leader among them. It always feels like a child's play.
I was thinking in my mind that I had already taken a step here and returned to the top.
"I was sent to lurk in Lone Peak a long time ago. By chance, I got promoted. However, after I came out, I learned that my identity had been exposed, so I didn't go back."
This excuse was that Gu Zheng had prepared it a long time ago, and it was the only good way to conceal his identity. It was impossible for the other party to find out his identity anyway, and besides, the other party was just casually asking about it and didn't care about his origins at all.
"I see, but you and Meng Zhen have a synchronized frequency, which is beyond our expectations. We originally thought that only humans can do it, but we didn't expect that the demon spirits here can do it too." The elder on the right said with some emotion.
Her words immediately moved Gu Zheng's heart and he couldn't help but think about it.
"The demon soul here? Does it mean that the other party does not belong here, but came here through some method?"
He still said calmly and calmly, "This is also a kind of fate. If you count, I have the upper hand."
"Haha, we will not discriminate against anyone. Maybe sooner or later we will still be a family. This time I just look at you and have no other meaning. At least there is hope here." The elder on the right laughed, also charming and charming.
Said hesitantly.
"The elder is joking." Meng Zhen said deliberately from the side.
"Haha, no matter what, we finally have a good start. I will give you this thing. I hope you can practice well in the future and join the group of elders together." The elder in the middle also smiled, raised his hand and threw something out, and it fell into Mengzhen's hands.
"Thank you to the elders. I will definitely practice harder and live up to the expectations of the elders."
Mengzhen glanced at the thing in his palm, couldn't hide his excitement, and said gratefully to the three elders.
Although this thing was compensation for her to completely eliminate the competition, after all, she had always been in the lead before. If she hadn't been trapped in the black tower and lost contact for such a long time, she might not have missed any chance.
"Thank you, elders." Gu Zheng, standing aside, also expressed his thanks.
He didn't know what that thing was, but Meng Zhen was so excited, so it must be a good treasure, and he was grateful both emotionally and rationally.
"It seems that Gufeng's place is really good, at least it can make people understand a little bit." The elder on the left looked at Gu Zheng's performance and nodded with satisfaction.
Most demon souls, to put it bluntly, know too little etiquette.
At this time, Mengshui also walked in again with Black Ball, attracting everyone's attention again.
"Elder, this is my mission. Although I had a chance to kill him, I saw something strange about him, so I took the liberty to bring him back. You will know what it is exactly at a glance." Mengshi pointed at Hei.
Ball said.
"Then we'll see."
As the elder's words ended, Mengshu stepped forward, put his hand on the black ball, and began to unlock the seal outside.
As the black ball flashed several times, it finally revealed what was inside.
Gu Zheng looked at it curiously, wanting to know why it gave him a familiar feeling. When he looked at it, he was suddenly shocked because there was an unconscious person inside, who was Xu Jia from Lone Peak.
How could he be caught by this dream? You must know that his cultivation level is a level higher than hers, let alone fighting on his territory and being caught by the other party. How come it feels like the two sides are turned upside down?
.
At this time, Xu Jia's cultivation had been sealed, and his strength could only be used at one level. In this place surrounded by tigers and wolves, there was simply no hope of escaping.
The originally carefree elder, the next moment he saw Xu Jia, the three of them stood up together, their expressions were not as relaxed as before, and even became a little serious.
"Elder, you don't need me to tell you, you can also discover the strangeness of the other party, otherwise I would have killed him halfway." Mengshi said calmly.
"Okay, okay, you did a good job. You don't have to follow this matter. Leave this person to us. We will remember your contribution." The elder in the middle looked carefully and didn't seem to find anything. Then he felt relieved.
Said in one breath.
She didn't hide it at all, and even Mengzhen felt that the elder was very nervous just now.
"Well"
At this time, Xu Jia, who had escaped from the black ball, gradually woke up. He looked in front of him with some confusion and found several unknown demon souls. Then he remembered his own experience and began to struggle. The next moment he found himself
Only after his cultivation was sealed did he become honest.
"Who are you?"
Xu Jia looked at the elder in front of him, and at the same time turned his head to look nearby. When he saw Gu Zheng, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes showed a look of hatred. Then he saw Mengshui who had grabbed him. He
Knowing that she had used trickery to catch him.
But no one answered his question.
"Elders, I'm fine, please leave first." Mengshui couldn't help but feel happy at this time, with a smile on his face. He knew that he had achieved his goal. This time, the battle for the clan leader was absolutely foolproof, and he was confident in his heart.
, said goodbye to the elders.
"We also retreated first."
When Mengzhen saw the elder's appearance, she knew it was time to leave. Anyway, as long as you were willing to inquire, you would soon know what happened, unless it was necessary to keep it secret, which she knew very well.
Soon only Xu Jia and the elders were left in the room.
Xu Jia's look just now, of course, did not escape the elders' observation, and also let them indirectly know Gu Zheng's identity, but this is not important. What is important is that Xu Jia is actually a living human being.
This reminded them of the fear they had experienced before, but after thinking about this place, they calmed down again and wanted to see what the purpose of the other party's coming here was.
For such a long time, although they knew that Wen Tianhou was at war with Gufeng, after learning about it, they just thought that the primitive beings who fell here were snatching territory, and the other party actually concealed it from them for so long.
"What is the purpose of your Lone Peak!" The elder on the right stared at Xu Jia and began to ask.
She had to figure out the meaning of Lone Peak's existence. Although she knew a little before, and even went to the Soul Alliance to inquire about it, there was not much valuable information. She knew that there was an enemy who was not inferior to the King of Heaven, and she didn't know much else.
Xu Jia snorted coldly, stopped struggling, and simply closed his eyes, knowing that he had fallen into the opponent's hands, and that every opponent was stronger than him, so escaping was impossible.
Just when Xu Jia was being questioned by the elders, Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen also went back all the way to the courtyard where she was.
"Do you know that person?"
When they arrived at their place alone, Meng Zhen, who had not spoken a word along the way, asked after Hua Xin and the two men were dismissed, leaving only Gu Zheng himself.
Others don't know the details of Gu Zheng, but she knows, and even many people know it, but most people are scattered everywhere and have never seen Gu Zheng at all. Of course, she also knows that Gu Zheng's original form is also a human being, but
But now that she is covering herself up in some way, even she doesn't find any flaws.
But she didn't know that except for a few people who were released by Gu Zheng, all of them had had most of their memories about the Black Tower wiped away.
"Well, Lone Peak's leadership has a good relationship with me. I didn't expect that they would be arrested."
Gu Zheng directly admitted that he had nothing to hide, and Meng Zhen could guess it anyway.
"The opponent's strength is pretty good, but if he accidentally steps into a trap, even I can easily deal with him." Meng Zhen explained aloud from the side, letting Gu Zheng know that even she was confident that she could capture the opponent.
This is his confidence in his own strength, and also tells Gu Zheng from the side not to do anything impulsively. After all, even if he is stronger, he cannot defeat the elder.
They can all kill the enemy beyond the level, which shows that the elders are more terrifying.
"I know, I won't be so impulsive." Gu Zheng nodded, knowing that Meng really meant well.
He also knew the priorities. Regardless of whether he could secretly take Xu Jia away, the most important thing now was to explore where Xiaoying was first. The rest would have to wait until Xiaoying was rescued.
"That's good. I'll go and find out for you. That person instructed Mengshui to prove himself. If it's not important, I can help you let him go."
Meng Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Gu Zheng didn't cause chaos, he could say anything. Then he stood up and walked outside.
"If you have other things to do, just do it. Now the King of Heaven seems to be focusing on other places. Even the guards of this city have been mobilized. This is the best time. Remember to transform into us, even if something goes wrong
If something goes wrong, no one will target you."
Mengzhen left these words and walked out of the room completely.
Gu Zheng listened to Hua Xin's and the others' voices outside, and then left the place with Meng Zhen, leaving him alone in the whole yard.
"Thanks!"
Gu Zheng sighed in his heart, then stood up and walked outside. A stream of air continued to rise from his body, and soon he transformed into his original disguise again.
After walking out of the yard and looking at the intricate roads outside, Gu Zheng stood at the door and looked around, then returned along the way he originally came in.
In the Black Prison, there is no night or day, not even the Miyagi side.
After walking out of the original road, Gu Zheng walked directly onto the spacious middle road without hiding his figure, and walked straight towards the end in a swaggering manner.
Although there was no one around due to martial law, Gu Zheng could feel many eyes glancing at him in the dark, but after discovering Gu Zheng's identity, they all turned away.
They are all ghost generals hiding in the city and will not let anyone suspicious go.
Here, if you want to hide your figure, don't think too much. There are no less than thirty masters above the human soul in Guzheng's perception, not including those who deliberately restrain their aura.
If he really sneaked in, Gu Zheng could guarantee that he would flee immediately.
However, the person who painted the soul on the side was also looking towards him and approaching him quickly.
"stop!"
When Gu Zheng was walking on the road, he had only walked halfway when a scolding sound suddenly came from beside him, causing him to turn around and look in the direction of the sound.
A little girl, less than half the height of Gu Zheng, was pointing at Gu Zheng with one arm raised, looking arrogant. It was the sound she made just now.
Gu Zheng shook his head, not prepared to get angry at this child. He knew the identity of the other person at a glance. He should be an underage brat from the Huahun clan.
"Didn't you hear me tell you to stop?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng ignored her and continued to walk forward, the little girl turned a cyan scroll suspended above her head, flexibly turned in the air, knocked it down and landed at the feet of the jumping little girl, and quickly brought her to Gu Zheng
in front of.
"I don't have time to coax the child, so get out of the way." Gu Zheng looked at the little girl and said calmly.
"Who asked you to coax you? Isn't it embarrassing? You are not embarrassed, but I am ashamed. We went to find you just now and found that you were not there. We didn't expect that you had already come out." The little girl jumped down from the scroll and faced
Gu Zheng said generously, and the other person's tone was no different from that of an adult.
The scroll under her feet shrank again, floating behind her head, rising and falling.
Gu Zheng looked at the scroll and did not expect that the other party would bring out all the accompanying Horcruxes. It must be known that if this thing is damaged, it will be difficult to repair it. However, when he thought of this place, he felt relieved.
This is their base camp. Unless Wen Tianhou speaks, no one dares to hurt her.
"Hey, what are you looking at? This is something unique to us. You can't imitate it. Did you have any Horcruxes when you were born?" When the little girl saw Gu Zheng looking at her things, she immediately shouted, "Look."
Only when Gu Zheng's attention returned did he ask.
"Where are you coming from or going back to? I'll go over there and have a look." Even if the opponent is weak, Gu Zheng cannot use strength and can only leave as soon as possible.
"You are so boring. My sisters and my younger sisters are all looking for you. You can do whatever you want when you come back. Let them see what you, Mengzhen's sweetheart, really look like." The little girl
Seeing Gu Zheng being so perfunctory, his face tightened and he blocked his way again.
She knew that the other party appeared outside and transformed into a member of their clan, but he was not like this. They had heard about it when Gu Zheng went to the elders just now, and when they hurriedly gathered to look for him, they found that he had disappeared.
Others were still looking for Gu Zheng inside, but she was smart enough to come out and take a look, and saw Gu Zheng at a glance.
"You guys are really free. I have something to do now. Let's talk about it later."
Gu Zheng did not expect that the news would spread so quickly. Although he knew that the other party would not look for him after getting to know him, but here, how could he waste time when time was so tight? He could easily bypass the other party and speed up his pace.
Walk towards the front.
The little girl looked at Gu Zheng's back walking faster and faster, and clenched her feet unwillingly. She originally wanted to go back to find the others, but then she thought about it, a smirk appeared on her face, and she followed Gu Zheng's direction.
.
There is only an office in front of Wen Tianhou, which is simply handled, and behind it is his mansion. Although there are some simple houses next to it, which sometimes allow the demon spirits coming from outside to rest, in fact, there are dead ends on the left and right, and there is only one in the front.
aisle.
"Don't even think about getting rid of me Huaying."
Gu Zheng was relieved when he saw the little girl getting rid of him. If the other party hadn't been her identity, he would have directly tied her aside so as not to disturb him.
But here, it seems like I can't move any of them.
As he walked faster, Gu Zheng soon saw a larger building with a five-foot-high city wall on both sides, which stretched to both sides, blocking everyone's way.
That building is where things are handled, but now it's blocked, and everyone who needs to leave has left. Through the wide door, you can see the deserted atmosphere inside.
However, in order to be less conspicuous, Gu Zheng still walked in. To his surprise, there was a lone black ghost general sitting here. When he saw Gu Zheng come in, he just glanced at him and continued to stand in his corner.
Like a piece of wood, no one knows what he is doing here.
After taking a brief look, I discovered that there was a black passage behind the other party. It seemed that they were stationed there to prevent anyone from entering. But who is so bold and dares to enter? You must know that the inside is Wen Tianhou's territory. Are you really not afraid of death?
?
Since there was no one around, the place was completely deserted. Except for an area that seemed to be an office, it was still dark. After walking around for half a circle, Gu Zheng walked out.
After looking around for a while, I found that no one was paying attention to me, so I slowly walked to the side path, ducked, hid in an inconspicuous place, and started to observe on my own.
