Ye Tian just felt his body light up, and then the blindfold on his eyes disappeared automatically. He looked around and found that he had left the valley and came to a brand new place.
He didn't know where this place was. In front of him was a black peak that was higher than an ordinary mountain. It was as steep as a sharp sword piercing the sky, and it was imposing.
Right in front of them was an opening that was about the same size as a city gate. At this time, the senior leader leading them was already flying in the air. He waited until everyone understood their situation before speaking.
"Welcome to the base of the Black Commandery. We are just subordinates of any commander. Now we are all a family. All kinds of fighting are strictly prohibited here. Once discovered, we will be executed directly."
The previous Commander Lan was gone, and the person in charge of the previous stronghold spoke from above, speaking to all of them.
"Now you will follow the person who leads you in sequentially."
Several ghost cultivators wearing different colors began to select from the team. In fact, they picked out the people who originally belonged to them.
However, a familiar person, who was also one of the first base commanders, singled out some people, including Ye Tian.
Originally he thought he had been exposed, but after seeing Yao Ji and four or five others, he felt that the matter was not as serious as he imagined.
"You guys are the carefully selected seeds this time. We will focus on cultivating them. Now come with me to see Commander Lan."
Ye Tian and others suddenly showed happy smiles on their faces, followed him respectfully, and left from here.
On the other side of the mountain, there was a small hidden entrance. He took Ye Tian and his group inside and led them around in a familiar way. Soon they came to a spacious room, where the disappeared Commander Lan had already
Wait for them here.
"Captain Blue, I have brought them here." The man said with the same respect.
Then he asked Ye Tian and others to line up as if on display, letting Captain Lan watch.
In fact, Ye Tian was also very surprised as to why these people called each other the captain, while they called the commander, but he also paid attention to the fact that all of them called the captains the core figures of the bandit group.
"Not bad, thank you for your hard work."
Captain Blue stood up and then praised him, which made the latter's face even brighter. However, he did not reply. Instead, he stood aside and continued to wait silently.
"You guys should know why you are here at this time. This is your fate." Captain Lan stood in front of them, his eyes swept over their bodies one by one, making these people puff up their chests.
"But I know everything that happened to you in the past or this time, and this time is not considered your blessing or your reward."
Captain Blue waved his hand at them, and a strange force passed through them. Then the toxins behind them and the injuries on their bodies all disappeared.
"Now let me tell you some good news in advance. If you are willing, you can advance to Golden Immortal with our help at any time, and you don't have to worry about any side effects. You can continue to advance if you continue to practice, and it will not damage you.
the foundation of.”
The blue team's proposal moved several people in front of them. Although they already knew part of it before, it was inevitable when it was actually put in front of them.
Because according to their cultivation methods, there is no telling how many years and months it will take for them to successfully ascend. The cultivation of ghost cultivators is much more difficult than theirs.
"This little girl will definitely be the commander-in-chief in the future." Ji Yao shouted excitedly from the side.
She is a member of the blue team, so naturally she won't have any burden. The other one also hurriedly expressed her loyalty.
"I know, no matter which one we belong to, we are all a family. I am just here to receive you." Commander Lan looked at the other people who looked embarrassed and smiled cheerfully, which made the others look a little better.
After all, when you join a bandit group, the leader you are loyal to is naturally your own leader.
"Captain Blue, this group of people are all back."
At this time, a man wearing a black robe suddenly came next to him. His entire head was hidden under a black mist, making it difficult to see his true appearance.
"Captain Black, I knew you would come again. Why didn't you tell us what you were looking for? Are you still afraid that we would hurt you?" Captain Blue said jokingly from the side.
"It's not like you don't know about my own affairs. I won't stay for a long time anyway. Let me take a look." The black captain said a few words casually, turned around and focused on the other party, and then looked directly at the blue captain.
The captain said, "If nothing happens, I'll leave first."
Although he said this, when the words fell, the whole person had disappeared.
"Okay, you can leave first. At this stage, it's better to get more familiar with this place. We don't have any plans at the moment. You have plenty of time." Captain Lan said to them with a smile on his lips.
After everyone saluted, they were led down and quickly returned to their companions.
More than ten days passed in a flash, and Ye Tian was probably familiar with the situation here. Unlike several others, as the only red captain, he did not choose to break through the Golden Immortal. Others had to wait for several years.
time to prepare,
And he also discovered that although there were very few people who came here with the Red Captain, most of them were blue and very few were black, there were many people in the Golden Immortal stage who were subordinate to the Red Captain, and in the
After knowing that he was also a member of the red captain, he took more care of him, and he was obviously stronger than the other two.
After a little inquiry, it turned out that the red captain actually led a group of people into the area controlled by Hades and successfully hid them. I don't know what he planned to do.
For them, these are all trivial matters. What worries him is that what Gu Zheng left for him here has already become bright. Especially when the black captain appears, he can feel the heat, as if to remind him.
You and the other party are the people Gu Zheng is looking for.
When the other party looked at them, he didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that the other party's eyes stayed on him for a little longer, which was almost negligible. He didn't know if the other party knew his identity.
He originally wanted to wait for the other party to come to him, but now it seems that he is not paying attention to him. This is not important. He is already planning to find an opportunity to notify Gu Zheng.
The danger this time was not in vain, at least he was 100% sure that the person Gu Zheng was looking for had appeared here, and he was 70% sure that Captain Hei was the person Gu Zheng was looking for.
"Ye Tian, I have something to ask you for."
Ye Tian, who was about to wait two days to call Gu Zheng, suddenly saw Ji Yao coming in front of him and speaking unceremoniously to him, and was a little confused.
"I can't get along with you, can you please stop looking for me? I left my words here because I really hate such a femme fatale person like you."
Ye Tian made no secret of his dislike for her. On the road, although the other party saved more people, more people died.
"It's up to you whether you come or not. I'll leave it to you as well, as long as you don't regret it afterwards." Ji Yao's face was stern, she left a cold sentence and left here directly.
"Tomorrow afternoon, I'll be waiting for you in the gravel valley ahead."
After leaving the address, Ji Yao's figure disappeared into the crowd of people in the distance, leaving Ye Tian thinking.
Now he has no idea what the other party's confidence is, and he dares to threaten himself like this. There is absolutely no basis for his own confidence, not to mention that the place is sparsely populated, and most people will not go there. It is a place where no passage is allowed inside, so he also puts that place
The place should be regarded as a place calling for ancient struggle.
"If you ask me to go, I will go? I won't go. I want to see what you can do to me, and you threaten me. I'm not a big deal."
...
"Let's separate here. You go to Hades and tell your name. Someone will naturally bring you your things and they will surely satisfy you."
In Gangming City, Le Wu said to Gu Zheng on the side.
"Well, I understand." Gu Zheng nodded, took out something from his arms, and then said to Feiwo next to him, "This is the token of Yunhe shop. He is a nice person. If you take this thing, he will help me."
If you give it a try, other forces won't embarrass you as long as they report my name."
"Thank you!" Facing such a heavy gift, I couldn't even say a polite word.
At this time, he represents the ancient human race. As long as he can win the position of king, the luck of the human race will be more prosperous. No matter how pedantic he is, he will not refuse. What's more, he is not pedantic at all, he just sticks to his own ideas.
.
It's just that no one knows what the competitive task is now, but he still understands that there are many friends and multiple paths.
After Gu Zheng watched the other party leave, it was obvious that their competition would begin next. However, he was really not on the human side and could not help at all. He could only help the other party in this way.
After they left, Gu Zheng did not go to Hades first, but went to other forces and visited them one by one.
It doesn't matter if one of them is not at home. After leaving one sin-washing stone each, a trace of his breath remains on it, and there are only four in his hands. Those two people who didn't give him face will not lick their faces to deal with them.
.
The last one came directly to the outside of He Yun's mansion, who happened to be at home. This time he did not leave directly, but followed the servant all the way to the innermost part, his private courtyard.
"You are really sentimental. No wonder others say you hide inside all day long and hardly ask about things outside."
The illusion inside was not lifted. Looking at the scenery outside in the small bamboo house, Gu Zheng smiled at He Yun.
"Those things outside were just a whim before, but now I feel a little boring, and I can hardly see the future. I'm thinking about whether to reincarnate, which is a kind of relief." He Yun poured a glass of wine for Gu Zheng.
Then he said.
"I didn't expect you to have this idea, but I think you are just too bored and go out to find something to do more." Gu Zheng said with a smile. When he saw that the other party did not listen, he did not say anything more, but just put the things away.
Hand it over.
"After giving them one, only these four were left, and the others were taken away by the empress."
"Oh, so you have already gone to the Tower of Hell. Have you found the person you are looking for, and what is the specific situation there." He Yun's eyes lit up, and he did not go to get the sin-washing stone, but was very interested.
said.
"You can guess it by looking at these things. Of course you have found them. But for Da Luo, it is a hellish world inside. But for Da Luo, it is just a claustrophobic space."
Gu Zheng then told some of the things in it, plus some of what Da Fei told him, some of which could not be said, and the rest.
"So it's like this. It's really painful. It's really worse to die than to live." Tianhe couldn't help but clicked his tongue after hearing Gu Zheng's description.
The situation inside was similar to what he had guessed outside, except that Daluo was a little off. He didn't expect that it was just closed, and his life was much better.
"So this time I want to thank you specifically. I'm afraid I will leave soon. But naturally I am not here to talk to you about this, but there is another important thing." Gu Zheng's expression became slightly serious.
"What's going on?" Seeing Gu Zheng's appearance, Tianhe also sat upright and said seriously.
"The Tower of Hell will soon scan the underworld for the last time. You need to pay more attention to this. Also, the sin-washing stone will no longer be useful after this scan. Do you understand the meaning?" Gu Zheng said slowly.
.
"I understand, so the Tower of Hell is about to usher in new changes, and there will no longer be a watchful eye on the underworld. The entire underworld will be under the rule of the underworld, but no matter what sins are committed, it will not matter.
Will be taken away."
He Yun didn't answer directly, but picked up his wine glass, put it to his mouth and drank little by little. Ordinary wine tasted like fairy wine after drinking it. After a full stick of incense, he digested the ancient wine.
Zheng Zheng gave him the news, put down his wine glass and spoke carefully.
"Yes, that's what I mean." Gu Zheng said seriously, "So you don't need to keep these sin-washing stones. I also left messages for other people. Once you enter the Tower of Hell, it will be difficult to come out.
Yes, I was able to have such an opportunity because of some reasons."
"Yes, I understand, thank you!" Tianhe raised the glass filled with wine and clinked a glass with Gu.
"You found the person you wanted to find, and this is not the place you should stay." He Yun put down the wine glass and looked at Gu Zheng and asked.
"Yes, I can stay here for a long time through some methods, but I am not from here after all. There are still many things to do up there, so naturally the sooner the better." Gu Zheng said after thinking for a while.
Hearing what Gu Zheng said, He Yun showed a look of envy in his eyes, "Hey, it's too difficult to cultivate ghosts up there. It's really not as good as here. And now it's different from the past. If you want to go out, you have to report to the underworld. There's no reason to do that."
If I don't let you out, you won't be able to get out even if you have extraordinary abilities."
"There's nothing I can do about this." Gu Zheng shrugged. After all, he didn't set the rules, and he also felt that powerful ghost cultivators should not run up there, lest they become sacrifices for others.
After the two of them had a few more drinks, Gu Zheng felt that time was almost up, so he said goodbye.
"I have other things, so I won't nag you here for now." Gu Zheng drank the wine in his glass and stood up directly, "I almost forgot, I have one more thing."
Gu Zheng told him the things that were not mine before, and if he came to him, I would give him a lot of help.
"This matter is simple. We will always observe their competition. After all, it has a considerable impact on us." He Yun agreed to Gu Zheng's request immediately.
"Thank you very much, I'll go first!" Gu Zheng chuckled, cupped his hands in front of him, and then walked outside without looking back.
"Goodbye! I hope we'll never see you again."
He Yun raised the wine glass in his hand and saluted Gu Zheng's back from a distance. Soon he would leave here too. He needed to inform others. The sin-washing stone in his hand was enough to ensure that several of his confidants would not be slandered in the future.
Arrive.
After Gu Zheng came out of Heyun, he headed directly towards the underworld, still taking the same old route. When he passed the Naihe Bridge, he did not go to see Heyun again or cross the bridge, because at this part of the bridge
By the way, he had been stopped by an acquaintance.
"Mr. Gu, your Majesty is currently in seclusion, and she specifically asked me to wait for you here."
The same maid smiled slightly when she saw Gu Zheng coming, handed over a square box, and said at the same time.
"Thank you Miss Qingyu."
Gu Zheng took it and thanked the other party. He looked at the box in his hand. It was only half the size of a palm. It was simple and unpretentious. There was a black button on the opposite side. As soon as he opened it, he could see what was inside.
"You hurry up and open it first, and I'll tell you." Qingyu saw Gu Zheng's hand stretched out, chuckled, and took a few steps closer to Gu Zheng and said.
Gu Zheng put down his hands and looked at the other party curiously, wondering why he had to explain something specifically.
"This is not a pill or a magic weapon, but a city. Specifically, it is an empty city. There is only a powerful wall and nothing else inside." Qingyu said slowly, but looking at it
After Gu Zheng's doubts became more obvious, he once again spoke in concise words.
"In fact, we are adding a city in the first domain. In addition to the three cities, we originally planned to add one more. The location is fixed, and you cannot build it anywhere else. However, the ownership of this city belongs to you.
Yes, in the early stage when you didn’t have the strength, Hades helped you govern it. When you have the strength, it will be handed back to you, which is equivalent to the country of China. Do you understand this?”
Gu Zheng nodded subconsciously, his eyes filled with shock and a trace of confusion. He didn't understand why Empress Houtu gave him such a generous gift. Did she want him to grow back to see it?
"I don't know either, but this is your Majesty's arrangement. There must be some reason that we don't know. But if you don't accept it, I can take it back and treat it as if there is no such reward." Looking at Gu Zheng's look, he whispered.
Thinking of what the empress said, he then said.
"Why don't you accept it? I accepted such a great gift with a smile. Thank you for me. I will definitely thank you again in person when I have the opportunity." Gu Zheng didn't need it, but if someone needed it, he would naturally not give it back.
"I will remember that Mr. Gu is back, and I look forward to meeting you next time." Qingyu nodded, tiptoed like a wild goose, and crossed the stone bridge and left here.
Gu Zheng watched the other party disappear from sight, then turned and left.
Things have been done here, the things in hand have just been sent back, and now we are ready to leave here.
