"Master Gu, some time ago, the outline of your city had been established. At that time, Queen Houtu appointed you as an honorary elder. It can be said that your status is one of the best."
Seeing Gu Zheng looking at him blankly, Le Wu explained with a smile.
Only then did Gu Zheng understand what was going on. Empress Houtu was too kind to him. She gave the city lord, a false position, and credit for himself, but he didn't do anything for this place, so he didn't understand.
This kind of thought flashed through my mind. Anyway, I will go to see her in a while, and I will know when I ask.
"In that case, I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you anymore." Gu Zheng nodded to show that he understood.
"Lord Gu, please walk slowly. If you are looking for the empress, she will have time, because we also have to go there to prepare for the final test." Le Wu said this clearly, but Gu Zheng heard his message again.
"As for the human race, the queen has given instructions and can make arrangements freely."
Gu Zheng only knew that later the palace masters were replaced by people from the underworld, and he didn't know why the three prehistoric tribes were here now. After a few simple conversations, he said goodbye to each other and headed towards the underworld first, leaving behind those who were still alive.
Everyone was in shock.
"I'm sorry, Lord Tianlang." Tianliu returned to the team and said dejectedly.
"It's not your fault. If I want to know the identity of the other party, I will never test him again. I was reckless." Tianlang naturally appeased the other party, and at the same time, he completely gave up his pursuit of Gu Zheng.
The other party's status is so high, just relying on this, you can usually less offend the other party.
The same is true for Tu Shi. Although he feels helpless and aggrieved, he also knows how to act clearly, especially when the other party is an important subordinate of the empress. If he dares to take action, he will be asking for death.
The people waiting on the other side were even more shocked when they saw such a vivid scene. The good show in front of them was really full of twists and turns. If it weren't for the fact that no one could afford to offend it, they would all be discussing it. Now we can only use the sound transmission
Discussion, some feelings are missing.
"Okay, we have to go in too, but we have to go to the Hell Tower first to get some things."
Lewu waited until Gu Zheng left and then gave instructions to the remaining people. The group also took action, but everyone's thoughts were a little different from before. It was obvious that Fei's side had more fighting spirit.
It can be said that Gu Zheng took this road for the third time. When he was about to reach the bridge, he told the two of them to wait for him here while he went to the bridge on the other side.
You can see the people queuing up from afar, but their faces have changed, and the place is never quiet.
"Naihe! Naihe!"
Gu Zheng started shouting when he was far away. When he just arrived, Naihe had already appeared in front of him again.
"Are you here to say goodbye to me this time?" Nai He waited until Gu Zheng stopped before asking.
"That's right. I'll be leaving soon, but I'm bringing you something, which belongs to one of my subordinates. You can see if it can meet your conditions." Gu Zheng didn't waste any more words and directly handed Ye Tian
The necklace was taken out.
"What is this? I don't need any magic weapon right now." Naihe didn't reach out, but said doubtfully, "If you want to commemorate me, I can't save it here."
"It's not that thing. There is a tear in this one. I don't know whether it is pure or not, but it is very precious." Gu Zheng felt that he had made it very clear, but the other party seemed to have preconceived ideas and had to explain.
"Tears? This thing doesn't exist in the underworld at all. How did you get it? You don't know how to entertain me."
It's not that Naihe suspected that this thing was in the underworld, even in the sky, it was extremely rare even outside. The empress had been looking for it for him, but she couldn't find it. They had only been separated for a long time before the other party found it.
I didn’t believe it, so I said it directly.
"You take a look first and then tell me, am I going to lie to you again?" Gu Zheng took a step forward and directly put the necklace into the other person's hand.
"Let me take a look." Naihe lowered his head and began to examine it. He soon raised his head in surprise, "There is really a tear inside. It doesn't look ordinary."
"Then see if you can use it." Gu Zheng asked expectantly.
"I don't know how to do this." Naihe looked a little excited. "You wait here, I will ask the empress."
"Why"
Gu Zheng just wanted to call the other party to stop him, but in the end he didn't give him a chance at all and disappeared in front of him in a flash. He didn't even notice how the other party disappeared.
Gu Zheng shook his head and left here directly. He still had something to do. Who knew how long it would take for the other party to come back. Maybe he could still see him there.
Returning to the bridge, Gu Zheng led them toward the inside. This time, the girl Qingyu did not come to greet him. He went directly to the place where he first saw each other.
He also didn't let the two of them follow him. He came to the top in a familiar way. The two familiar Wu Clan opened the door for him. At a glance, he saw Nai He who was excited inside. When he discovered the situation outside, he also turned around and saw the Gu Zheng outside.
, immediately waved to Gu Zheng, asking him to come in quickly.
"Although your tears are not what I am looking for, they are more precious, rarer, and more powerful than what I am looking for. I finally have the chance to leave that place." Seeing Gu Zheng approaching, Nai He
Said excitedly.
"It's good if it works. What a coincidence." Gu Zheng chuckled.
"It seems that you are very lucky. Originally I thought it would take a thousand years to find her, but you have to pay more attention in the early stage to make sure you don't make any mistakes." Empress Houtu was still the same as when she first saw her, smiling at Naihe.
"Of course I know. I'll make preparations now. I'll come back to you when I get the chance. Thank you very much. I'll leave first." Naihe nodded crazily, then said something to Gu Zheng, and his body turned into a black smoke again.
Disappeared.
It seemed that he was really holding it back there and was so impatient that he didn't even have the time to say a few words to Gu Zheng.
"Gu Zheng, do you have anything else to do here?" At this time, the empress looked at Gu Zheng and asked.
"First of all, I want to thank you for your kindness. It's really unforgettable for me. How can He Dehe be the top executive of Hades? Besides, I will leave soon and I may not come back." Gu Zheng said with some confusion.
"Of course I'm grateful for your help. Under your care, the Judge's Pen and the Book of Life and Death are far beyond my imagination. You can avoid many things. Just know this. Of course, I think you are a good person, even if you are an investor.
, maybe I can seek your help in the future." Empress Houtu said with a slight smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask me." After hearing this, Gu Zheng couldn't say anything else. He could only clasp his fists and say, "This time, I have two things to trouble Your Majesty."
"explain!"
"I have a subordinate who wants to find a position for him. Although his cultivation level is lower, I am very optimistic about him and the key person is not bad." Gu Zheng said truthfully.
"Is that the young man outside?" Houtu Empress raised her head slightly and looked towards the door, as if she saw the two people waiting outside, then she looked back,
"Yes, there is something strange about the other party, and it is also fused with something similar to this tear. The necklace should be his. Let the other party exterminate those lonely ghosts who came back because they were not guided outside."
Gu Guzheng's heart skipped a beat, and then he looked at the empress with some surprise, "Is it because the task is too heavy, and with his strength, it is too dangerous to travel in and out of the wilderness."
"It doesn't matter. In his current state, he won't stop here. You can't come here just for this one thing." The empress knows very well what kind of potential there will be after integrating with that tear, so she doesn't care.
"Well, I have one more thing to ask your Majesty. Didn't your Majesty intend to close that passage before? I want to help you investigate, and then I will rescue some friends there." Gu Zheng nodded and explained the matter in detail.
"It turns out that there are people from other worlds there. It's no wonder that these creatures are coming in endlessly. I originally wanted to leave a gap, but now it must be closed. With the current strength of Hades, even if the other party is not afraid, it will still interfere here."
After listening, Empress Houtu was silent for a moment before speaking.
Gu Zheng felt that the empress was a little strange. She seemed surprised and seemed to know something. Then he thought that the area was under her control. Maybe she knew something before.
"You came at the right time this time. In fact, I am preparing to close the place now. The same is true for the test of those witches and monsters. I also gathered a group of teams to go together and completely close the place." The empress continued.
"That's just right!"
Gu Zheng originally thought of urging the empress, which would shorten the waiting time, but he did not expect that he would just catch up with the opponent to destroy the opponent. If he waited too early, he would have no chance if he waited too late. He would not lick his face and ask the empress to open it for him.
It can only be said that the fate of the Gushu clan should not be cut off.
"Don't worry, we'll meet up one day and we'll go together. This time, just to be on the safe side, I'll follow you. Just wait here."
Gu Zheng nodded, he could still afford to wait for a day, and he couldn't go anywhere in this time, so he stood aside and waited, while curiously looking at what the empress was doing.
However, Hou Tu just turned his back to Gu Zheng, his hands dancing from time to time, and sometimes he would convey some orders, but he didn't know what he was commanding.
The day went by in the blink of an eye, and the empress, who had been busy without stopping, put down what she was doing, nodded slightly to Gu Zheng next to her, and then walked out the door.
Gu Zheng followed behind. After going out, he waved directly to the two people below. They quickly followed, but they fell behind and did not get closer.
Then, under the leadership of Empress Houtu, they continued to move towards the north. Soon after crossing the vast Hades, they saw a dark group of people waiting in the distance, at least a thousand people.
Most of them are wearing the uniform costumes of the underworld, both men and women. Each one is full of energy and full of murderous intent. Each one's cultivation is at the peak of the Golden Immortal. Upon closer inspection, except for a few local ghosts,
Apart from Xiu and Gu Zheng's old acquaintances from the Wu clan, many people were from the Shura clan, and Gu Zheng even saw a few familiar faces.
Among them, Gu Zheng also saw the complicated expressions on each other's faces between Tian Lang and Tu Shi. Who allowed him to stand next to Hou Tu Empress, directly breaking the last trace of the other's illusions.
"Mother, you are here. I have prepared everything. I am just waiting for your order and we will set off immediately." Le Wu also came up to report the action this time.
"Very good, then let's go straight away. I will only watch from behind. I won't take action unless necessary." The empress just glanced at her and gave the order directly.
Le Wu nodded and immediately walked back to the team. Soon the entire team started to move and moved quickly towards the front.
Including Earth and Stone, they soared into the sky and took the lead in clearing the way forward to make some space for the following teams. This was part of their mission.
"You stay behind, don't run around. I've already told my wife about you. A formal appointment will be made soon. It's definitely a task you won't dislike. It's just going to be a lot of hard work, but I'm afraid you'll like this position.
." Gu Zheng said with a pun to Ye Tian behind him.
"I'm not afraid of hard work. Thank you, Mr. Gu!" Ye Tian said solemnly.
"Okay, protect yourself more. This time you will follow me to increase your awareness. If I have other things to do and go back, you can just go to Lewu. The other party will arrange for you properly. If you are in trouble outside, just go to Yangdu
, the other party will also help you." Gu Zheng patted Ye Tian on the shoulder and made the final arrangements.
Ye Tian nodded excitedly and didn't say anything more, just keep it in mind.
"If I take action, just follow me." Gu Zheng also arranged for Youzhu. When the latter nodded, he also followed the team and continued to move forward.
The speed in front was not fast. After waiting for a long time, the majestic feeling unique to Hades disappeared around us. It felt darker in the distance. There was still some Ji Qi in the air that had not completely dissipated. It was already very low. It was considered to have left the scope of Hades.
.
"Actually, there is very little Ji Qi contained here. The reason why it is not included is because we are preparing to seal off those passages and raise a group of blue spirit beasts in captivity. We have already had preliminary results. By then, we can rely on them to circulate them.
." While walking here, Empress Houtu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke to her.
"Blue Spirit Beast? The name has been changed again. Can it breed here?" Gu Zheng didn't know why he wanted to talk to him, but he still said that he remembered that it wasn't called this before.
"The previous names were not nice to hear. I have asked people to research out a solution. Those spirit beasts are actually artificially raised. They don't have much intelligence. They just absorbed too much Ji Qi here, and many of them have a high desire to attack. After a simple
Through research, many problems have been solved, and we also found that the other party seems to be very good at mining, maybe that's what they do there, but the number is indeed abnormally large." The empress said lightly.
"Look ahead, you will reach the opponent's gathering area. Our manpower can only reach this side. If we go further, ordinary people will not be able to fight for a long time."
Hou Tu didn't need to say anything, there were sporadic sounds of fighting in front of him. As the team moved forward, Gu Zheng saw the entire appearance of the blue spirit beast not far away this time. It looked like a lamb, but its body was round.
Many of them don't have any hair and look quite cute. The whole body exudes an illusory blue color and looks like it can disappear at any time.
The strength of these blue spirit beasts is not high, the lowest is only the early stage of immortality, and the highest is only the peak. The eyes of those blue spirit beasts are staring here strangely, but they look unusual, as if they have fallen into some kind of madness.
However, if we only have this kind of strength, we shouldn't use such a team to come here. In other words, some unknown changes should have occurred inside.
"Three months ago, where the blue spirit beast originally appeared, a brutal jackal suddenly appeared. This jackal was very powerful and fierce. By the time I noticed it, many of these creatures had gathered below.
I don't know what's going on, but now that I heard what you said, I suspect that the other side seems to have noticed this side, so I sealed it as soon as possible. I have never encountered such a thing." The empress frowned lightly, and she was also worried about that side in her heart.
Gu Zheng glanced at her strangely. He had never met her before. This sentence sounded strange, but it passed by in a flash and he said immediately.
"We have such a huge force. As long as we block the gap and observe carefully, even if the force over there is strong, it will not be possible for us to come over."
"I know, but aren't you curious about the world over there? It may be a fusion of several worlds, but it is very rare." The empress suddenly said with meaning.
"I'm still too weak. I can't even break through the opponent's simple barrier. I definitely don't have any ideas now, but if we integrate into the underworld, then we will be stronger." Gu Zheng didn't know what she meant, so he said in a normal tone.
said.
"The current strength of the underworld can't swallow it, but I don't think we need to go there. Since there has been contact, the other party will be discovered by others. Those things will naturally be handled by the higher authorities. It is better to close it first. After a while, you can
Just take action. If you need our help, just speak up and speak as quickly as possible so as not to attract more people's attention." After Houtu Empress finished speaking, she looked away, as if she didn't want to continue the conversation.
Go down.
It was like talking to Gu Zheng inexplicably, and then ended very abruptly. It seemed to Gu Zheng that he wanted to tell something, but he had some scruples and couldn't say it. Gu Zheng was confused. He really didn't understand what the empress wanted.
Tell him something.
Gu Zheng shrugged and didn't think about it any further. Maybe the other party had some thoughts that he didn't know about. Anyway, Empress Houtu took good care of him. It seemed like she wouldn't be disadvantageous to him, and she didn't need to be so defensive.
With the road ahead opened, it took them two full days to reach a flat place, with a black hole as big as a football field in the middle, which looked quite shocking.
Gu Zheng originally thought it was a small cave or something like that, but he didn't expect it to be so big. There were signs of fighting around it. It seemed that those who were testing it had already entered before them.
"Lewu, take some people down to check if there is any danger nearby, and then go in one by one." The empress began to speak.
Lewu immediately accepted the order and jumped off the edge with several other elders of the Shura clan. After a stick of incense, Lewu reappeared above and reported that there was no abnormality below. Everyone then took turns.
