In the city, Gu Zheng and Wan'er seemed to start wandering aimlessly. However, this place had been abandoned for too long. It seemed that no one had moved here for more than a hundred years. Many houses had collapsed and the ground was dusty.
Even the two of them were suspended in the air and did not land at all.
"Yes, there is really no one left."
Gu Zheng stood outside a familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard. He remembered that he and the woman who had parted ways here had left a crab behind to protect her in the future, but he didn't know how long it had been. Maybe the woman had lost her inheritance.
, just one accident will ruin everything.
"Let's go here and take a look."
Gu Zheng took Wan'er and flew toward the tower in the middle, which seemed to have been completely broken. It seemed that a fierce battle had taken place here.
After wandering around for a while, Gu Zheng finally found what he was looking for in a damaged hall. This was a message left in a special way that only a few people, namely people from the East China Sea, could understand.
"Everyone who sees this message will come to the bottom of the sea."
This is the reminder left by General Lei. According to this, even if he does not know the location of the other party, he can still find the location. This is why he is wandering around here.
As for why he was looking for them, it was mainly to tell him the news about Xiangxiang, and he didn’t know if the sea boy had come back. If he hadn’t suddenly wanted to leave from here and almost forgot about it, the Dragon King would not have sent someone to tell General Lei alone.
This way.
Gu Zheng took Wan'er and immediately flew towards the ocean behind him, and finally plunged in again.
This is an unfamiliar area, surrounded by some unintelligent marine creatures, but the depth is obviously much deeper than other places. Near the sea, there will be no sea people at all when harassed by the monster clan.
He continued to sneak in. The surroundings here were already pitch dark. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the monsters from outside to come here, not even the water monsters. And this is where the other party made a temporary stop, but I don't know if there are still people there.
In a secret rock crevice on the side, Gu Zheng squeezed in directly, and the sea water outside disappeared immediately. At the same time, a cold air rose around Gu Zheng's neck, and a person also appeared behind Wan'er, giving her a
Press and hold.
"Don't be impulsive, you are one of our own!"
Gu Zheng had already noticed the secret whistle here before he came in. To be honest, even if the opponent directly attacks the two of them, they may not be able to break through their defense. They are just two golden immortals at the peak.
"Why do you, a human, come here?" A whistle came from the side and asked. The weapon in his hand was already clenched. If anything goes wrong, he will kill them immediately. They can't see through the disguise of the two at all.
"I am the person sent by Princess Xiangxiang. I need to see General Lei." Gu Zheng said quickly not knowing why the other party was so excited.
"Princess Xiangxiang!"
There were exclamations from the side, and they naturally knew about Xiangxiang.
"We don't have any ill intentions. Don't get excited. We'll tell you if we can go in." Gu Zheng slowly pushed the weapon in front of him with his hand and said slowly, "If Lan Hai comes back here, the other party will definitely know about me, otherwise you can ask
Ichiban.”
"Lan Hai? You have indeed come back. It seems that there is a misunderstanding. Please forgive me. We have been a little nervous these days." At this time, the two people took back their weapons one after another. They could be sure that the other party was one of their own. If the other party was from the Sea Clan,
, they won’t be so nervous.
"Can the demon clan still come here?" Gu Zheng joked, but found that the two of them suddenly became nervous again, "It can't be true. If you dare to come here, you won't come here to die."
Their combat effectiveness in the water is greatly increased, and even if the monster clan is able to pass through water, their strength will be reduced a lot. Even lakes, rivers, and aquatic clans will not adapt to the deep sea environment in the ocean. This is because the monster clan just likes to operate on the edge.
, not many really go deep into it.
"Although it's not that exaggerated, there are some water tribes who have come here, but they were on patrol and did not find us here." One of the secret sentries said.
"You go straight along here and tap Sansheng on the front wall at the next intersection. Someone will naturally continue to take you in."
After finishing speaking, the two secret whistles continued to hide in the cover gap next to them, and a black barrier appeared outside the gap, completely covering up their auras, making it impossible for even Da Luo to detect them.
Gu Zheng continued to move forward with Wan'er. Some blue luminous stones began to appear on both sides of the passage, making the place no longer so dark. Soon he came to an intersection with the left and right directions. He could tell just by observing a little.
These two sections are both traps, and behind the wall in front of you is an equally hidden passage, with a Da Luo guarding the back in the early stages.
How it is hidden here is no different from being exposed in front of the current ancient disputes, but for Wan'er, nothing can be seen through.
"Dad, there's nothing behind this?" Wan'er touched the wall and looked at Gu Zheng doubtfully, as if the other party was deceiving them.
"Then knock three times." Gu Zheng chuckled and encouraged Wan'er.
"Da da da"
Sansheng's slightly crisp voice rose in this passage, which was completely different from the ordinary dull sound of tapping on the wall.
Wan'er stepped back and took a walk, looking in front of her with confusion. She wanted to see how this passage could be created. She was convinced that the wall in front of her was an ordinary wall.
Then something surprising happened to her. The wall in front of her flashed with blue light and instantly turned into a blue water curtain. Behind it, she could clearly see a figure gesturing towards them, telling them to come directly.
"Let's go!"
Gu Zheng stepped back, and then Wan'er entered the water curtain. At this time, the surroundings seemed to be wrapped in water, and there were undercurrents behind him. He gently pushed her away. Before she could take a closer look around, she had already walked in.
, and Gu Zheng followed behind him.
"You two, please follow me in. I heard what was said outside, and Lan Hai is inside." The man turned around and led the way.
At this time, he also needs to confirm the identity of the other party.
"Xiao Yitian!"
Gu Zheng looked at the familiar people in front of him, filtered them in his mind, and quickly identified the other person with Xiao Yitian, whom he had a relationship with once. When he ran away with Xiangxiang, he let it go.
Otherwise it wouldn't be so easy.
The figure in front was shocked, then turned around and looked at Gu Zheng carefully. It took him a long time to suddenly realize it, and he pointed at Gu Zheng and said.
"Ancient struggle!"
"That's right, it seems you haven't forgotten it yet." Gu Zheng laughed, not expecting to see him again, "You have made a breakthrough in your cultivation. I'm very happy to congratulate you."
He could see that the other party did not break through because of a surge of spiritual energy, but took that step on his own, which meant that future achievements would be higher than those with passive breakthroughs. Perhaps most people would not go any further with that kind of breakthrough.
"No, you have actually reached the peak of Daluo. It's really amazing." He could also detect that Gu Zheng was sealed at the beginning. He was definitely very strong, so he asked Xiangxiang to follow him after a test.
"To be honest, there aren't many human friends outside. When I hear someone is coming, I will naturally be on guard. I didn't even recognize you. I'm really ashamed." Xiao Yitian shook his head and said with surprise in his eyes.
Zheng Xiu was shocked.
But what he didn't know was that this was just a cover-up for Gu Zheng. If someone really wanted to sneak up on him, he would just accept it.
"Come with me, there is no need to recognize Lan Hai. Is there news about Xiangxiang this time?"
Xiao Yitian turned around, leading Gu Zheng in another direction, and asked at the same time.
"That's right, otherwise when I reveal it to General Lei, things will be a bit shocking." Gu Zheng thought for a moment and said.
"General Lei... come over and talk about it."
Xiao Tiantian paused for a moment, then stopped talking, and soon led them to a side hall. There could not be more than five or six people here, and the seats next to them made them feel as if they were facing each other.
"What happened? Did General Lei have an accident?" Gu Zheng asked at this time.
"Yes, the demon clan rioted, and we also suffered an accident here. Although we fought off the opponent many times, we still gave up the city and retreated. However, at that time we were still waiting for the Dragon King, but the news we received was that all the high-level officials disappeared together.
.”
"Misfortunes never come singly. When Mushu went out to inquire for information three years ago, he was captured by the enemy. General Lei went to rescue the enemy and was also captured. I tried several times but could not get close. The enemy was too strong."
"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, many of us retreated to the deep sea. Only I am here with some personal guards, always searching for news above."
Because most of the marine races will have reduced strength if they go to land, which limits the area they can gain.
Gu Zheng was also silent. He did not expect that General Lei could still be caught. However, with the strength of the demon clan now, it is normal to do anything. The only good thing is that every demon clan wants to be king and hegemony, and no one wants to be king.
They definitely have the strength to bring everyone together and turn them into a mess. If they are really together, I'm afraid no one can deal with them.
The reason is that the patching of the sky is too fast. It is so fast that it has already disappeared without causing much damage, as if it had been waiting for a long time. This also caused many nearby monsters who should have died not to die, leaving the monsters
The strength is unprecedentedly powerful, and no one force can suppress the other alone.
Wan'er saw that the atmosphere was not right at this moment, so she sat aside obediently and said nothing.
"By the way, what happened to Princess Xiangxiang now? Did she also disappear? Do you know where they went?" After a moment of silence, Xiao Yitian broke the calm.
"Yes, they all went to a very important place, including all the saints. That place is related to the existence of all of us. It's just because of some accidents that the demon tribe left so many people." Gu Zheng said cryptically.
"Can't they all come back?" Xiao Tiantian didn't expect that the matter was so serious that even the saint was missing, so he held on to a glimmer of hope.
"They may survive, but they will never come back." Gu Zheng shook his head and affirmed.
"It seems that the world may really fall into panic. It will be a disaster for the demon clan." Xiao Yitian leaned back, extremely disappointed.
"The demon clan is powerful, but it may not last forever. Besides, it is normal to have ups and downs. Who doesn't want to stay at the top forever, but is it possible? The dragon, phoenix, and unicorn cannot escape even as far as three thousand demon gods, so
The short-term trough is not the future, but finding a way to get up from the trough is the only way."
Gu Zheng's words were not only words for him, but also an encouragement to himself.
When did the great prosperity of the human race occur? Although it lasted for a very, very long time, who knows how many people who fought for the human race died before, and how many innocent people died on the way. If we really count them,
The number of people definitely far exceeds all.
Even if all the tribes later prospered again, their status as the number one force could not be shaken. Being too hasty is not necessarily a good thing.
"You are right, I am too pessimistic. In just a few hundred years, maybe thousands of years, the other side will be rampant, but in the future, Qilin Phoenix and the others will be dozens of times more powerful than them, but in the end,
How much more can I see now? I can’t give up.”
Who can cultivate this realm is not a mentally tough person, but this time the demon clan's attack was too fierce, and there was almost no force to stop it, which also made him a little confused. Now after Gu Zheng's awakening, he finally woke up.
Get inspired again.
"That's good. Since General Lei was captured, you should know where he is." If the other party really couldn't wake up, he wouldn't say more. This was because the other party had helped him once before.
"General Lei, of course I know, but there are not only General Lei imprisoned there, but also various enemies, who seem to be their prisoners. There are at least five Da Luo Peaks guarding them around. They are tortured every day. I want some of them.
When people succumb, they are also given chronic poison, which wears away the other person's will little by little, and finally becomes the other person's slave."
Xiao Tiantian was talking, then looked at Gu Zheng with surprise, and finally couldn't help but said, "You don't want to rescue General Lei, do you? Don't be impulsive. I'll contact some people. You know, although those
The person is missing, but there are still many powerful people around us. Let me see who else is there and contact us to rescue General Lei. Only in this way can we succeed."
"My father is very powerful, but those people are like crumbling dogs in front of my father. They are completely vulnerable." At this time, Wan'er couldn't help it anymore and defended Gu Zheng.
"I know, but the opponent is more powerful. A person's power is limited after all, not to mention the opponent has a quasi-sage. Once you don't escape in time, you can easily fall into it. This scene happens almost every year. It's all about overestimating one's capabilities.
Take it back." Xiao Yitian advised.
He meant it sincerely, because Gu Zheng's cultivation was already high, even in the dark, but the opponent's defense was so strict that there was no chance at all.
"Yes, I understand, but with the method I have, is it easy to find out the information?" Gu Zheng smiled, stood up and said without revealing his own cultivation level.
"Most of them are people who have been captured. Although they are unwilling to do so, they can only be trapped there. It is easy to sneak in. Except for some strict places, the other party is not very strict. I still give you a word of advice,
Don't be impulsive." Xiao Yitian urged again.
"I have another question. If General Lei comes back, how will he take revenge? Or hide." Gu Zheng looked at the other party and asked his last question.
"Of course it's revenge. It's impossible to hide. The most likely way is to sneak up on the opponent from behind. You must know that there are many loose monsters in this area." Xiao Yitian blurted out directly.
He has followed General Lei for so many years, so he naturally knows the other side's temper. If Mushu hadn't had a problem, they would all have started acting like this.
"That's good, so what you have to do is to take action on what you just said." Gu Zheng raised his feet and walked outside, "Wan'er, let's go."
"I tell you, my dad is very powerful, hehe." Wan'er whispered to Xiao Yitian, who was in a daze, and then she swung her legs a few more steps and followed Gu Zheng.
Just when I came out of this side hall, I saw a familiar person outside.
"Lan Hai, are you waiting for me here?" Gu Zheng was a little surprised. He saw the other party pacing back and forth, looking like he was worried about something, so he stepped forward and said, which made the other party pay attention to this place.
"Mr. Gu, yes, I heard you coming from the front. I want to make sure that Princess Xiangxiang is okay? When I left at the end, I didn't know the final news." Lan Hai raised his head, looking anxious to protect his master,
But the message was transmitted privately.
"Master Gu, there is a traitor in our team. I don't know who it is, but it is definitely not Mr. Xiao. I knew it a few days ago."
"Of course the other party is fine, don't worry about that. I rescued him personally and later sent him to the Dragon King." Gu Zheng comforted with a smile.
"Then why don't you tell Xiao Yitian."
"Thank God, I'm finally relieved. I don't know how worried I was on the way back. If it wasn't for my lack of strength, I would have gone with the adults." Lan Hai had a relaxed expression on his face.
Everyone here is General Lei’s confidant, and they are all following him. If Mr. Xiao knows about it, he will find it at all costs. At that time, people’s hearts will be scattered. I want to find a chance to find the other party’s true identity and tell him, so I
I want you to tell me, give me some time, otherwise it will have a big impact, and the other party seems to be just inquiring about the information now.
"I'm interested, but I told the Dragon King and the others about you, but it's a pity that I didn't have time to praise you." Gu Zheng nodded, "Okay, I will arrange it. If something happens, you should still have something I left for you.
If something really inspires me, I will sense it and I will rush over as soon as possible."
"As long as everything is safe, I won't disturb Mr. Gu anymore." Lan Hai then bowed out respectfully.
"Master Gu, if you need any help, I still have a lot of things here that have been relocated from the city."
At this time, Xiao Yitian walked out and said to Gu Zheng.
"That's true. Do you have extra food here? The kind that ordinary people need." Gu Zheng did not refuse and took advantage of this time to tell the other party.
"Yes, but most of them are in hidden places in the city. They were used to store and supply the city, but I don't know if they have been found by the other party. I'll tell you the location. We don't need it anyway, so just go and get it." Xiao Yitian's face turned into astonishment.
In a flash, he nodded to Gu Zheng and said.
"Thank you very much. Please be more careful about what happened before. The more strength you have, the better. Anyway, I will definitely rescue General Lei."
Gu Zheng said with a pun, and after waiting for the other party to tell him his location, he took Wan'er and left here.
