Elsewhere in Tianyu City, in an extremely luxurious manor, deep in a bamboo forest environment, a young man who looks as good as Gu is leisurely looking at the flowers in front of him, which look lifelike to outsiders at first glance.
I thought they were flowers from the outside world.
Outside, there is a gurgling stream, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. From time to time, there are even naughty red carp jumping out of the stream. Take a look at the scenery outside. As a breeze blows, the bamboo forest also makes a "sand" swaying sound. Everything looks so beautiful.
of beauty.
"Sir, there is a servant outside who calls himself Gu Zheng and says he wants to deliver an envelope to you."
An uncoordinated sound sounded outside.
The young man looked at the flowers in front of him, and then sighed. Large ripples appeared around him. The scenery that looked beautiful restored its original appearance among the ripples.
This is an empty yard, with a dug ditch on the ground and some piled things around it. If anyone can see that scene, they will know that it is just an outline, and everything else changes according to the terrain.
come out.
"Come in!"
The young man waved his sleeves, and the door outside opened immediately, and then he sat on the only chair.
A smart and capable man trotted in, finally stopped at the door, then bowed down respectfully and stretched out his hands.
On the palm of the hand, there is a letter transformed by mana. There are only two golden and illusory words on it, which seem to be constantly flowing on it. If you look closely, the words will change into other forms, and eventually return to their original appearance.
"Ancient struggle!"
With a "swish" sound, the letter automatically flew in front of the young man and unfolded automatically.
"Haha, that's interesting. Shall we meet in five days? It's still early."
As the letter in front of him automatically burned, after the subordinates outside left, the courtyard returned to its previous appearance.
"It's so bold that he actually asked everyone to join him at his place!"
In another mansion, an old man's eyes were filled with coldness. Looking at the letter that was gradually burning in his hand, he couldn't bear it any longer and burst out.
"Sir, the other party seems to be trying to test, but we don't have any news right now. Why don't we let this villain go for you." A man stood behind the old man and naturally saw the content of the letter. He immediately volunteered after hearing this.
"Let me think about this again!"
Those several factions received Gu Zheng's letter one after another, and they all had different reactions. Some were indifferent, while others felt that Gu Zheng was a bit arrogant and disgusted.
No matter what they thought, time passed by like this.
After Gu Zheng just checked Qi Yue's status, he recovered well. Now he has the early stage of Jinxian's cultivation. It seems that it will take a long time to return to the peak, but at least he helped her solve the problem.
Feeling that time was almost up, Gu Zheng went directly to the courtyard.
The small courtyard has also been slightly renovated. There are some very large tables in the middle, which are enough for ten people to sit down very loosely. Around it, light golden shields like lanterns are also raised, blooming inside.
There are ordinary flowers that can never be seen here. Although they look a bit strange, those flowers cannot be exposed at all and will die in an instant.
"It's almost time for people to arrive, please open the door." Gu Zheng sat in the upper position and nodded to the shadow.
The courtyard is facing the gate, but from the outside, there is a light cyan light curtain blocking the outside view.
The young man who came alone from afar was the owner of Yunhe's shop. His strength was at the late stage of Da Luo, but his combat power was very high. With only one shot, he repelled two other people who wanted to compete.
Looking at the cyan light curtain in front of him, the young man walked in without any hesitation.
The moment before his eyes changed, a faint aroma entered the tip of his nose, subconsciously making him hold his breath, and then he became alert. However, the next moment he saw the table looked like a banquet that was not luxurious, so he put down his alert.
, full of surprise. When he saw dozens of pots of beautiful flowers around him, he didn't even bother to say hello to Gu Zheng. He stepped directly in front of one of the flowers and observed it carefully.
The stem of this flower is slender and tall, covered with small thorns that are almost imperceptible to the naked eye. Anyone who tries to grab it will be injured. A little further up, the blue flowers branching out are swaying slightly.
, looks tender and tender, as if it becomes short when folded, giving a "weak" look.
"Friend, you came early." Do as the Romans do. Although Gu Zheng knew that he was the owner of Yunhe's shop and knew the other person's name, he still didn't want to be so enthusiastic before a formal introduction. "You have good taste. This one is inside
It’s the rarest, and if it’s outside, it can emit a scent that’s like elk, so it’s very popular.”
"It's a pity that I can't smell it. It's a pity." It's a pity that he glanced at the flowers in front of him and the man turned his head, "Fellow Taoist Gu, it's our first time meeting, He Yun really gave me a surprise."
"If you like her, you can take a few away later. Anyway, I really can't appreciate her beauty." Gu Zheng chuckled. He could see that he really liked her.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Thank you for your generosity, fellow Taoist priest." He Yun had no ability to resist this request and readily agreed, which also made the distance between the two feel a little closer.
"It's all fake, it's all fake."
At this time, a middle-aged man came in again. He looked around and squeezed out disdainful words from his nose.
"You'll know what's true and what's false as soon as you taste it. Fellow Taoist, please take a seat." Gu Zheng still had a smile on his face and was not angry because of what the other party said.
The place where he often lives is where he operates. He has a bad temper and hates others saying bad things about him. Mao Zhen is his real name.
"Then I'm not polite. It's best not to use other things here to deliberately look like this, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
Mao Zhen sat directly on the side, stretched out his hand without politeness, tore off a chicken leg, and smelled the fragrance coming from it, as if it was the real thing.
Then he took a small bite, and the next moment he closed his eyes, and his whole body became stiff. Only his mouth was still moving slightly, and his face looked like he was enjoying it.
Seeing the other party's exaggerated look, He Yun felt that even if he had never eaten anything here again, it wouldn't be like this. He would never go out of his way to eat these foods when he was alive.
Another person came in and happened to see Mao Zhen like this. He smiled at Gu Zheng, then stood aside and looked at him similarly.
As if they had made a collective appointment, Mao Zhen here was eating ordinary chicken legs one bite at a time, as if he was tasting the delicious food at any time, and everyone came in.
But what surprised Gu Zheng was that two of them were not from the master, but were subordinates who had reached the peak of their cultivation. They explained that they were sent here because they had something to do, and asked Gu Zheng not to be angry.
, go back and come to apologize in person.
Gu Zheng naturally said that there was no problem on the surface, but in reality he knew what the response would be. The other party obviously felt that he was too arrogant and did not even bother to come.
In the end, apart from those two people who didn't come, the person who thought he wouldn't come actually rushed back from outside, which really surprised Gu Zheng.
After introducing each other, everyone got to know each other, and then sat down one after another, waiting for Mao Zhen to finish his last bite. However, the two representatives of the Golden Immortal Peak stood beside them a little awkwardly, neither sitting nor standing.
They were not qualified to sit with these people. They originally thought it was just a simple gathering, but they didn't expect it to be so formal. They regretted it and even wanted to go back and inform the adults.
But they also knew that even if they went back, it would be useless, because for the sake of truth, they had left Hades City two days ago, and they would not be able to find anyone when they went back.
"Ah, I have never tasted such delicious food. I never thought I could taste it after death." After Mao Zhen finally swallowed the bones together, he looked satisfied.
The others didn't say anything. They had the same idea as He Yun had before. Is it so exaggerated for just a dish?
"Hey, why are there two people missing?" Mao Zhen was a little surprised and looked at the empty seats on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, which made him stand out.
"Oh, they had something to do and didn't come over. It doesn't matter anyway. I just want to meet everyone and make friends." Gu Zheng chuckled, but no one could tell his true thoughts from his tone.
"You are really short-sighted. I have discovered this from previous contacts." Mao Zhen opened his mouth and did not hide his disgust. "Since your master has not come, what are you still doing here? Get out of here."
The two people looked at each other, and then said bravely, "I'm really sorry for everyone. Our master has said that we will ask everyone to apologize later."
"Please ask me whatever you want, I won't go even if you ask me, just get out of here." Mao Zhen said unceremoniously.
The two men shrank, as if they were very afraid of Mao Zhen, and immediately left the place without saying anything.
"The troublesome guy is gone. It's their loss if the other party doesn't come." Mao Zhen didn't care at all, and then turned to look at Gu Zheng, "By the way, I have known you a long time ago, and now it seems that I feel good at first, forcing them to
, so He Yun is a bit interesting."
Mao Zhen brought everyone on the table with him, without fear of offending them at all. The latter also smiled awkwardly. Others also knew his temper and didn't care. Anyway, it was not the first time or the second time.
What can I do if I have an opinion? I can only suppress it. Mao Zhen is the strongest among them, so I can't even be convinced.
At this time, there were a total of seven people on the table, including Gu Zheng, and they were all the powerful people in the area controlled by Hades.
Gu Zheng looked away, and Shadow acted as a waiter and started pouring wine for everyone. He waited until the round was over before speaking.
"Thank you all for helping me search. Although there is no definite news now, I see everyone's hard work and I would like to toast you all."
After talking about Gu Zheng, he drank it all in one gulp.
Although it was just a scene, everyone did not deny Gu Zheng's face. Just these things in front of them were worth sitting here.
"It's been a long time since I've tasted the taste of real wine. The wine brewed here is called wine, but it's actually just an aura with a bit of wine flavor." A restaurant owner named Lan Ji said with emotion as he put down his wine glass.
Although Gu Zheng's wine was good, due to their previous status, the contact was naturally more advanced, and a good rescue was just average. Despite this, they were satisfied.
"That's right, although it's a bit ordinary, it's still better than everything here." He Yun also said, and then looked at Gu Zheng with bright eyes, "Let's not mention the matter of you getting rid of us. I want to ask about these things.
Where did they come from? It is impossible for them to appear here."
He also pointed to the decorated flowers nearby. Although they were simple, they were unprecedented here.
Not to mention him, other people were also looking at Gu Zheng with interest, wanting to know this question. They couldn't drink it even if they lost everything here.
"So you can understand."
Gu Zheng took off the disguise on his body. Others were puzzled at first, and then noticed some changes in Gu Zheng's aura. After taking a closer look, their expressions changed, and then they suddenly realized.
"It's such a clever disguise. If you hadn't shown it deliberately, we wouldn't have been able to see through it."
After truly seeing Gu Zheng's strength, another Cang Feihai said with emotion.
Not only is Da Luo's peak strength, but what's even more impressive is that the opponent himself is a living person, and his physical body comes directly. He is really not afraid of being contaminated by some bad aura, which will hinder his future. But why do these things appear in front of him?
I also know why the other party doesn’t value the sin-washing stone.
The other party is obviously looking for his relatives this time. It is impossible for the other party to stay here for a long time, which means that we are not any competitors at all.
"Just to protect myself." As he said this, Gu Zheng covered his disguise again and returned to his previous appearance.
"I understand, I understand." He Yun nodded to express his understanding, "Actually, we have a little idea of the person you asked us to find, but the matter is a bit tricky and we don't know whether the information is true or false."
"Really, we were talking while we were eating. Shadow brought the wine and let everyone drink freely." Gu Zheng was startled at first, and then said.
"But isn't the person you are looking for important?" He Yun asked doubtfully.
"Since you said it's difficult and you don't know whether the news is true or false, even if you are anxious, don't worry about this moment."
Facing Gu Zheng's explanation, He Yun thought it made sense, especially since that place was not only tricky, but even they didn't want to go in.
Even though it is open to eat, even though the table is full, they can continue to eat for thousands of years without any problem. Anyway, for them, it is just a taste, and it is impossible to be full.
But every time they put the dishes in their mouths, they also showed the same expression as Mao Zhen.
Because it was so delicious, even though they had eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas before, they did not find the simple side dishes in front of them delicious. They ate them bit by bit like Mao Zhen, while drinking a small amount of wine, as if they had returned to the days when they were alive and drinking heavily.
.
While chatting with each other, the relationship between Gu Zheng and everyone has improved a lot. At least we have a preliminary understanding and understanding. Others also took this hard-won opportunity to communicate with others and resolve some issues between them.
Little things.
In the middle of eating, Mao Zhen suddenly changed his voice and said, "Gu Zheng, are you the leader of the human race this time, coming to compete for the position of king?"
Others also stopped talking and looked at Gu Zheng. It was not difficult for them to suspect that although this matter was a big secret to the outside world, they still knew a little bit about it. Unfortunately, that position must be filled by a living person now.
, they have no hope at all.
"That's not the case, I just said to take care of it. After all, my identity is still human, there is no doubt about it." Gu Zheng said with an affirmative tone.
It can be said that none of the people in front of him, including the others, is a human race. If he knew it, only Senlu was the most powerful human race he had ever seen. To become so powerful on his own, his methods were too cruel.
Even Gu Zheng couldn't stand it anymore. In fact, he didn't interfere much in the end and went directly to chase his enemies.
However, he believed that there must be masters in the world that he didn't know about, but they just didn't show it, and no one knew the other's existence.
"Of course, for some reasons, I am now also a member of Hades, and there are still people on the human side leading the team." Gu Zheng escaped from the badge in his hand and showed it to them.
"You are still a senior patrol leader. This status is really unusual. You can be considered a high-level figure." Mao Zhen blurted out after seeing the badge.
What he said was right. There was no one with more power than him outside. The best people who entered Hades were the team captains outside. There was no comparison between the two.
It can be said unceremoniously that no matter what Gu Zheng's cultivation level is, his identity alone is enough for everyone to take him seriously.
"It's just a matter of relationship. In a few days, I will go to the underworld to meet the empress." Gu Zheng said modestly.
This news shocked everyone even more, and everyone looked at each other. This was a small relationship, but it was rumored that the Empress Houtu was related. No wonder they dared to invite everyone over confidently. Fortunately, they all felt that the other party was generous and had given them the cleansing before.
The sin stones also fell into their hands, so they came over to take a look.
Of course, I also felt some silence for those two people, and made up my mind to stay away from those two unlucky people in the future.
He Yun, who was next to him, had a thought in his mind, and then said to Gu Zheng, "Do you remember that I told you about the difficult things just now? Since you and the empress know each other, maybe it is not that difficult for you."
"Whose news is it?" Seeing the other party mentioning it, Gu Zheng didn't leave the ink mark and asked directly.
"It's the second person you mentioned. This is the news that one of my subordinates just sent back two days ago. This has also accelerated the speed. Of course, we don't know whether it is true or not, and we can't confirm it. We just took advantage of this opportunity to...
I didn't tell you in advance." He Yunduo explained.
"The second one is his news. Where is the other party?" Gu Zheng knew that the other party should be talking about Senlu. It was impossible to shirk the blame at this time, so he asked directly.
"According to the information I received, the opponent last appeared somewhere in the third domain. It seemed that he had some conflict with other people, but suddenly a red beam of light fell from the sky, and then he and his opponent disappeared." He Yun continued.
"did you mean!"
Gu Zheng looked at the other party's eyes and then asked uncertainly.
