Gu Zheng looked at the empty teacup in his hand that he had finished drinking. He turned his head, stretched out his hand, and shouted to the maid standing beside him.
“Ah, okay, wait a minute!”
Perhaps the maid didn’t expect that there was someone asking for a refill of water in this place, so she didn’t react for a moment, but it was still your responsibility to step forward, take it and walk out.
“Sir, this is your tea.”
Soon the maid returned again and was already bringing new tea to Gu Zheng.
“You’re already cold if you don’t drink it. It’s such a waste.” Looking at the tea next to Mrs. Xue that she hadn’t even taken a sip of, Gu Zheng reminded her kindly.
"You are still in the mood to drink." Mrs. Xue glanced at the newly filled tea that Gu Zheng was collecting and felt helpless.
Now the whole room has begun to quarrel, and the topic has started from the beginning, first to the Soul Alliance and the outside world, and now it has nothing to do with their respective grievances, and basically has nothing to do with Mrs. Xue, and she is even more confused.
open.
"Of course I'm in the mood, or should I be angry with them? Anyway, I won't do such a losing business." Gu Zheng shook his head, and then took a sip of tea happily, feeling the fragrance flowing on the tip of his tongue, which was quite good.
Yes, fully release the internal flavor, then swallow and say.
Mrs. Xue suddenly laughed. She knew what Gu Zheng meant. Although it was hard to understand, she understood it.
In fact, except for City Lord Fan, everyone else just wanted to take this opportunity to have a good debate with the other party, hoping to occupy the moral high ground.
“This tea is still not as delicious as the first time.” Gu Zheng put down the half-empty teacup in his hand.
"You don't even look at it. This is a place for you to drink tea. You are really ignorant." On the side, the man led by City Lord Fan couldn't help but said when he saw Gu Zheng like this.
"I'm not interested in chatting with you." Gu Zheng glanced at this man. His red hair was very conspicuous, and he was staring at him from the beginning, as if he and he had sworn hatred.
“I don’t want to chat with you, a piece of trash. If we were outside, I would definitely blow your head off with a blow.” The red-haired man turned his head in disdain.
"It's just the early stage of Da Luo, and it seems that you were killed when you broke through, and then you came here by chance. Even now, you can't use your full strength, so it is estimated that there is no one here who can compete with you.
You are weaker." Gu Zheng looked at the other person and said to him casually.
“By the way, I would also like to add that it’s okay to bully a peak Golden Immortal like me.”
“Ha, that’s a good guess, but I still have a little bit of self-awareness.”
The red-haired man, when Gu Zheng was halfway through speaking, had already turned his head and stared at Gu Zheng. The fear hidden in the depths of his eyes was still clearly visible to Gu Zheng, but he held it in disdain.
said.
But he knew in his heart that what the other party said was absolutely correct, almost most of it was correct, which suddenly made Gu Zheng feel mysterious.
“Are you serious or fake?” Mrs. Xue said with some surprise as she watched the red-haired man go back.
"Of course it's true, but it's not easy to see it. But unlike you, I can naturally see it a little bit." Gu Zheng said modestly.
"You little golden fairy is quite interesting. When the time comes for the competition, I will let my men teach you a lesson. I just hope you won't be eliminated right from the beginning." At this time, City Master Fan heard what the red-haired man said.
, who had been looking coldly outside, turned his head and said specifically towards this side.
The voice was not loud, just enough for Gu Zheng and Mrs. Xue to hear clearly, but both of them ignored him.
“Mrs. Xue, you know, there is a kind of person who is very strange?” Gu Zheng suddenly said meaningfully to Mrs. Xue.
"Oh? What kind of person? What's wrong?" Mrs. Xue also said very cooperatively.
"When the opponent was high-spirited and wanted to take revenge, the early stage went very smoothly. That was because he failed to take any measures to hit the opponent. The opponent did not expect that he would attack. But when he reacted and fought back, he was hit with a blood bag and suffered heavy losses. The feeling in his heart
The resentment has escalated, but there is no other way but to endure it." Gu Zheng said slowly, and when he saw the two people below turning to look at him angrily, the corners of his mouth curled up.
“This is not a surprise, more outrageous things are yet to come.”
“Isn’t the other party afraid of death and charging forward again?” Mrs. Xue could imagine the ugly look even if she couldn’t see the expression behind her. Seeing that Gu Zheng still had something to say, she couldn’t help but guess.
"Of course not. The other party is at least a little smarter than a pig and cannot make such a stupid mistake." Gu Zheng waved his hand as if to praise, and continued, "The other party was naturally unwilling to give in, but for a while there was nothing he could do.
Just when he felt that there was no hope, someone came and brought him an absolute temptation that he couldn't resist. It was not only revenge, but also hope for the future."
“So he didn’t refuse.”
"Then what?"
Gu Zheng looked at the two people whose expressions changed slightly, and then said in a pretense of distress, "This is also a guess. After the other party did not refuse, he got what he dreamed of, and then his cultivation level unexpectedly improved a lot, giving him revenge.
hope, but you have to agree to the other party’s things.”
"What's going on? You can't possibly lose your freedom, right?" Mrs. Xue said with a dumb smile, feeling that Gu Zheng's ability to make things up was pretty good.
“Nonsense.” City Lord Fan suddenly shouted, startling the two of them.
“How can I know? Do you know what you are excited about?” Gu Zheng’s eyebrows were raised and he asked nonchalantly.
But the latter had turned away and ignored them at all.
"Your way of irritating people is really good. It really made me angry." Mrs. Xue said with a smile, thinking that Gu Zheng said this deliberately to help her vent her anger.
“You’re welcome, who asked the other party to mess with us first?” Gu Zheng said with the same smile.
The entire hall was in chaos, and no one noticed what was happening in this corner, even Mr. Wang was still focusing his eyes elsewhere.
"By the way, since we are all here, please tell me what happened during the competition. I don't understand many details very clearly." Gu Zheng glanced around and saw everyone arriving, but the alliance leader
He hadn't arrived yet, so he asked.
And Gu Zheng’s point is that everyone only has one person with them, so it seems that they all know more or less the inside story.
Mrs. Xue nodded and was about to speak when a loud voice appeared in the hall.
“Haha, you guys have been waiting for a long time, something has delayed me, I’m really sorry for you.”
With hearty laughter, the leader of the alliance, Mr. Luo, finally appeared here, walking towards his position as he spoke.
“The time has not come yet, I am waiting for you to arrive early.”
“If the leader has something to do, just do it and don’t worry about us.”
Nearly everyone below stood up and said in confusion.
"Okay, we are all members of the alliance, so don't be polite, please sit down." Lord Luo pressed his hands and said with a smile.
Seeing everyone sitting down, the Lord of Luo City sat down.
Gu Zheng also stopped talking with Mrs. Xue and looked up like everyone else.
"If you can all gather together, you should give me face as the leader of the alliance. I believe everyone knows the purpose of our gathering this time. I won't talk nonsense. The main purpose is to mediate the previous conflicts between us and not to make outsiders laugh.
." Lord Luo City spoke first.
“I know Mr. Luo understands justice well and will definitely give us justice, unlike some people who pretend to be benevolent and righteous.”
Just below the Lord of Luo City, the first man on the left stood up. He looked very mighty and imposing, and took the lead in speaking.
"Who are you talking about? Whoever is hypocritical knows best." Opposite him, the grumpy man stood up and said.
The muscles all over his body were trembling constantly, making his delicate face look arrogant.
“Of course it was you, who else, you must know that it was you who made the first move.”
“You obviously killed my people first.”
"enough!"
Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, City Lord Luo immediately shouted loudly and said with a gloomy face.
"Please forgive me, sir. I was reckless."
The two people apologized almost at the same time.
"Why are you still arguing now? I remember that you had a good relationship before." Lord Luo sighed as he watched the two of them go on calmly.
"snort!"
The two people below looked at each other, and then separated the next moment, snorting coldly in their mouths, as if it was a shame for them to know each other.
"Those two did have a good relationship before. On the left is City Lord Liu, and on the right is City Lord Duan. They are second only to City Lord Luo in terms of strength. They also have some cultivation in the late Daluo period, and their combat power is almost among the top."
“I don’t know why, but the relationship between the two has become more and more tense. It’s just that they didn’t take action before, but basically they have never interacted with each other.”
Mrs. Xue is introducing Gu Zheng below so that he can know the relationship.
"This gathering of our Soul Alliance is not an easy one, so we have to be open-minded about some things. I probably already understand your respective matters. This time, I will personally mediate. As long as it can pass, then we will let the past matters go.
It’s all over.”
"If I can't make it, then I think I can't take on the responsibility of being the leader of the alliance, so I will naturally resign as the leader of the alliance and give it to everyone."
The words of City Lord Luo shocked everyone. They never expected that City Lord Luo would give strong medicine as soon as he came up. You must know that if City Lord Luo resigns, no one will be convinced as the leader of the alliance, and the Soul Alliance will immediately fall into pieces.
Say more and everyone will get it.
"Leader Luo, you must not do it. We will naturally cooperate and won't be so fussy." City Lord Liu said immediately.
“That’s right, Leader Luo, don’t be so impulsive. Our affairs can be solved naturally, and everyone’s problems can also be solved. Do you think you are right?”
Everyone below agreed and said, in case Leader Luo really quits, then all of them would be in the same misery.
“That’s good, Wang Cheng, you set up a barrier and I’ll communicate with them one by one.” City Lord Luo nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered.
“Yes, sir!” Wang Cheng stood aside and said as if he had come back to his senses.
With a wave of his hand, a transparent shield enveloped him, City Lord Luo, City Lord Liu, and City Lord Duan inside.
People outside could only see the expressions inside, but could not hear what was said inside. Some people tried to interpret it from the lips, but found that there was an invisible interference that made it impossible to see clearly. The protection must have been manipulated to prevent the outside world from knowing what was inside.
Things that happened.
Now it is just the two of them who are mediating their biggest conflict. After they are over, it will be the turn of others. And according to Mr. Luo's wishes, I am afraid that I have to make concessions. Otherwise, if I say disbandment, I will disband, even if it is just a joke.
They didn't dare to block it either.
Even the Lord of Luo City will suffer heavy losses, but since he is the most powerful, he will probably be the last one.
When several conflicting people started negotiating inside, they also started negotiating outside, trying to gain favorable conditions for themselves before the Lord of Luo City intervened.
There was a moment of quarrel in the hall, but this time everyone was much more restrained and did not almost get into a fight like before.
Everyone knows that this mediation will not end so quickly, and long-term plans have been made.
The only people who didn't move in the hall were Mrs. Xue and City Lord Fan. Both of them seemed to not care, and they were silent.
"Mrs. Xue, who is that person? Please introduce to me the people I am referring to in detail." Gu Zheng asked, pointing to the people arguing over there.
"City Master Mian is the second demon soul here to join. The one we are quarreling with now is the first person to join the demon soul, and the entire clan has moved in, City Master Niu." Mrs. Xue just glanced at it and said accurately.
the identity of the other party.
Mian City Lord looks personable and has a relatively good appearance, which at least makes people feel good at first glance. As for Niu City Lord, he has a look that lives up to his name, with obviously widened cheeks, which makes people look very uncomfortable.
“Do you know the person brought by the Lord of Mian City?” Gu Zheng continued to ask.
"We know each other, and he is also the most proud subordinate of the opponent. He also came from the demon soul, but at that time the soul alliance had entered the middle stage, and it seemed that the second alliance leader had just taken office." Mrs. Xue didn't quite understand what Gu Zheng meant, but it was still simple.
said.
“You are giving me more introductions.” Gu Zheng nodded, and then pointed to several others.
“I know all those people, do you think I should know more about them in advance?” Mrs. Xue said with some surprise, and then explained to Gu Zheng in detail.
Gu Zheng also listened carefully, and at the same time looked at the others carefully, as if he wanted to find some clues in them.
Because just now, when Lord Luo City raised the shield, Gu Zheng, like everyone else, wanted to try to find out what happened inside. Of course, the result was the same as everyone else, there was no way to know what happened inside, but it was interesting.
happened.
Just when Gu Zheng was about to take it back, he felt a familiar aura from a person, so he continued to look around and found that several people also had the same aura.
With the appearance of this aura, he thought of the stubborn and different Wuxiang Master. Even though he was a demon, he used his life to explain his beliefs, which was admirable from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Zheng never thought that the group of guys who opened some entrances would be here.
When he came here, he had no doubts. However, for so long, especially after coming out of Miyagi, he just thought that it was a very old attempt here and gave up completely. The previous action was just left over there.
The final struggle.
But after "seeing" the familiar aura here, he realized that everything over there was done here, and it was done by a group of people in the Soul Alliance.
If this was the case, Gu Zheng would be wary at best, but when he thought of the demon spirits surrounding him, an incredible idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
That is, the soul alliance has been infiltrated by the other party, and some members may have become the other party's people.
Although this idea is a bit horrifying, no one believes it. After all, the current city lords of the Soul Alliance are basically the original members. I don’t know how many demon souls have been killed from the beginning to the present. If it weren’t for their bloody battle, they wouldn’t be able to believe it.
There is no current soul alliance.
Even though the Lord of Niu City joined later, he also contributed a lot to the early soul alliance. Everyone has lost countless blood of demon souls, so how could he be chosen to join them?
Thoughts were constantly circulating in Gu Zheng's mind. Unfortunately, no trace could be seen from the faces of those people. Everyone seemed to be fighting for themselves and the Soul Alliance.
As everyone put away their gazes, Gu Zheng had to put away his visit and could not continue to observe. Although he took a general look, he only found two people with a very faint aura that could disappear at any time.
But Gu Zheng is not sure whether there are other accomplices.
If there are only two people, they may not be able to find the top and temporarily open a passage. However, Gu Zheng also discovered that this seems to be a way to enter here, but everything must wait until the right opportunity comes.
“Mrs. Xue, I have something that I don’t know whether to say or not.”
"Just say what you have to say. If you still play your own tricks, let's wait for the Lord of Luo City to judge."
Madam Xue was still introducing Gu Zheng, and City Master Fan next to her had already greeted Madam Xue. Even though Madam Xue didn't want to talk to her, she knew what she meant and had to accept it. Since the other party spoke first, then from a certain
To a certain extent, it can be considered as submissive.
After all, although the two of them are powerful, the conflict is still serious in the Soul Alliance, and they don't even have the strength to resist the Lord of Luo City.
"Since we are talking, Lord Luo City will not completely favor you. Don't let him pressure me. You haven't done anything, but your husband has done something to me in the past. Don't say you don't know. It didn't happen.
, why will I bite you and not let go."
Hearing Mrs. Xue’s words, City Lord Fan also snorted coldly.
"Oh? Really? Then I think we have nothing to talk about. The things between us, including the past things between you and my husband, City Lord Luo will not be unclear about." Mrs. Xue looked at the other party expressionlessly, and then
He said, completely ignoring the other party's faint threat.
The contradiction between the two can be traced back to a long time ago. If you say who is right or wrong, each has his own reasons. From another perspective, neither is wrong, both are wrong.
However, it is obvious that the recent events were City Master Fan's fault, or even entirely his fault, so he had to take the initiative to ask for negotiation.
“It’s up to you. Since you’re not sincere, let’s wait for the Lord of Luo City’s decision.”
The cold-faced City Lord Fan saw Mrs. Xue’s attitude, and his forced smile dropped. He no longer looked warm and affectionate, and seemed to be ready to wait for City Lord Luo’s judgment.
