Chapter 1039

Yang Dingtian and Heifeng didn't know the existence of the six human Golden Immortals. The clever Golden Immortal of the demon race couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows again.

"If there are other human Golden Immortals, they must have come later. With their strength, it's no problem to make friends with some Golden Immortals, but I didn't expect there would be so many!"

Yang Dingtian said again. They had been to the capital city and had some understanding of the situation in the capital city. It was certain that there were not so many Golden Immortals there before.

At that time, Gu Zheng and Tao were both in the Golden Immortal realm. They knew only a limited number of Golden Immortals, and they both mentioned it. Speaking of which, Yang Dingtian and Heifeng were the first Golden Immortal friends they knew.

"This is not important. These two people's cultivation realm is so fast, which is very rare. We must not ignore them!"

The smart Daluo Jinxian said worriedly. In fact, there was something he didn't say. He and his boss, Ji Meng, one of the ten demon generals, had a deep discussion. Ji Meng believed that after the war between witches and demons, the biggest enemy of the demon race would become the human race, so at this time, if there is a chance, we should try our best to weaken the human race.

It is not difficult to defeat the witch race. Not only Ji Meng is convinced, but also the major leaders of the demon race and the Daluo Jinxian are convinced.

The reason is very simple. Whether it is high-level power or low-level power, the demon race is stronger than the witch race. The demon race is convinced that they will definitely win this time.

Before, the human race was not taken seriously by them, but after the war with the witch race, the demon race suffered great losses. The human race, which was not strong to begin with, should pay attention to it. Therefore, the demon clan leaders have already taken the opportunity to eliminate part of the human race.

However, among the human race, there are immortals like Taotie who practice quickly and have strong strength. This is definitely not a good thing for their demon race.

"Yes, if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have believed that they progressed so fast!"

Yang Dingtian didn't think much about it, but he still agreed with the words of the smart Daluo Jinxian. When Gu Zheng and Tao were Jinxians, he already knew that these two were extraordinary, but he didn't expect that they progressed so fast, and Tao had already become a Daluo Jinxian.

There is another point that Yang Dingtian didn't say.

He once looked at Taotie and the two immortals carefully and found that they were very young, not very old, and definitely not over a hundred years old. At that time, he still doubted whether he had seen it wrong. How could it be possible that someone could practice so fast? In fact, until now, he didn't dare to believe the age of the two people he saw at the time.

"Don't tell anyone about these two people, and don't tell the two Taotie Immortals. We have asked you!" The clever Daluo Jinxian reminded Yang Dingtian again. If there were only two Taotie Immortals, even if there was a powerful Daluo Jinxian, he would gather some powerful Daluo Jinxians to fight and completely eliminate these two human geniuses, even if it offended Lu Ya. Most people are afraid of Lu Ya, but they are not afraid. Behind him is Ji Meng, a strong man with quasi-saint strength. Lu Ya alone dare not offend the entire demon clan. Gu Zheng didn't know that someone had already started to plot against him. If he knew the idea of ​​this clever Daluo Jinxian, he would definitely not let this guy go easily. At the beginning, he asked Zhao Gongming and others to help, and he also wanted to keep all the people of the demon clan. After killing the people of the Wu clan, the city of Fu returned to peace again. The Taoist Fire Master is now the general manager of the city. Basically, he has the final say in all matters of the city. However, like Gu Zheng, the Taoist Fire Master has no interest in the affairs of the mortal world. The specific matters are still handled by Wu You, Ma Duo, and his apprentice Hu Yiming.

The city has been safe and stable over the years, and the population has increased a bit. Now it has reached 400,000 people. The An family is still the manager of the city in name, but everyone understands that the An family is now just a name. The real managers are several immortals.

Among the three immortals, Hu Yiming is the strongest, in the late stage of returning to the void, but he is the weakest. Ma Duo and Wu You are the old people who first followed Gu Zheng into the city. They once led everyone to migrate and saved most of their lives. They also led people to guard the city many times and fought on the front line.

The people of the city have the greatest recognition of the two of them.

"Great Immortal, please make the decision for us!"

In the Wu Mansion, Wu You sat in the center, and eight ragged mortals knelt below, crying and complaining.

"Don't cry, talk slowly!"

During this period of growth, Wu You has gradually become a truly majestic immortal, no longer the little guard who wanted to rob Gu Zheng at the beginning. Until now, Wu You still lamented his fate. If he hadn't been greedy and cautious at the beginning, he probably wouldn't have met Gu Zheng.

If he hadn't met Gu Zheng, he would still be someone else's little guard. He would either die on the road in the end, or be abandoned when he was old, and eventually become lonely.

It was after he followed Gu Zheng that his fate was changed. Until today, he still deeply remembers the two children riding on the horse. Gu Zheng was only three years old at that time. His mind and means, even now, he admires them very much.

He had nothing to do today, but the guards at the city gate brought a few people to Wu's house, which were the eight mortals kneeling in front of him. The soldiers at the gate knew his temper very well. If there was nothing important, they would never come to disturb him. Since he brought these people here, there must be something wrong.

"Great Immortal, monster, there is a monster in our village, it is extremely ferocious, dozens of people in the village have been eaten by it!"

As soon as Wu You finished speaking, the oldest of the eight people raised his head and cried, and Wu You's brows knitted together.

Monsters, there are actually monsters?

At this time, he is no longer the mortal Wu You. He has become an immortal, a real immortal. He knows very well what monsters are.

At present, the witches and liches are fighting, and the demons have recruited scattered monsters from all over the country. How can there be monsters causing trouble?

Ordinary monsters, before reaching the Qi transformation realm, are basically hidden. Even if they have strength, they will not come out, or follow other monsters who have reached the Qi transformation realm and become their subordinates, small monsters.

Monsters that have not reached the Qi transformation realm are the same as ordinary beasts. They are stronger, have some ability to transform, and have opened their spiritual wisdom, but their lifespans have not increased much. Most of them are busy practicing and will not harass the human race alone.

Besides, monsters that have not reached the Qi transformation realm, unless they are birds, are not very fast and generally cannot migrate long distances. There are no monsters at all except for the thousands of miles around the city, which have been cleared by them. Where did this monster come from?

As for these eight people, they will not come from too far away. At present, there are still some people within 5,000 miles of the city. There are no people beyond 5,000 miles. Those who have been killed have been harmed by the scattered monsters that escaped during the previous war between witches and liches, so Wu You is so confused.

"What kind of monster is it? Tell me first!"

Wu You thought to himself and asked a question. However, no matter what kind of monster it is, it dares to wreak havoc around the city and hurt people. His fate is doomed.

"We can't see what the monster looks like, but every time the monster appears, it will be wrapped in a layer of black fog and can fly. It is particularly ferocious!"

The man continued to answer, and Wu You's eyebrows moved again.

Wrapped in black mist, it means that this monster has reached the Qi transformation realm. Such monsters are mostly in the Lich Battlefield. It’s not that there are no monsters outside, but they are rare. And if there are, they will not easily come out alone to harm the human race.

At this time, anyone who is not a fool will know that where there are still human beings living, there must be human immortals guarding, otherwise these mortals would have been captured and eaten.

"How many monsters are there?"

Wu You asked again. As for the authenticity of this matter, he did not doubt it. The villagers nearby would not lie to him about such things. The cost is too high.

"We don't know either, but only one appears every time!"

One, just one monster, or a monster in the Qi transformation realm. Wu You felt relieved. After thinking about it, he waved to a soldier to come over and asked the soldier to invite Hu Yiming.

Wu You is also in the Qi Transformation Realm, and he has a powerful immortal weapon. It is not a big problem to deal with an ordinary Qi Transformation Realm monster, but for the sake of insurance, it is safer. He decided to call Hu Yiming as well. Not only Hu Yiming, but also Yang Du. Yang Du is in the God Transformation Realm. With him, there are three people, one in Qi Transformation, one in God Transformation, and one in Return to Void, which is very safe.

He did not report this matter to Huo Dao Ren. After all, it was not a big deal. It was just an ordinary monster. If they couldn't even solve such a thing, they could only be said to be a waste.

Wu You asked about the village where those people were, and the three of them flew directly into the air and rushed away.

The village is only more than 2,000 miles away from the prefectural city. It is a bit far, but not very far. For mortals, more than 2,000 miles takes a long time to walk, but for immortals, more than 2,000 miles is nothing at all. Even Wu You can get there in one or two hours.

Wu You and Hu Yiming both went out. Ma Duo was in charge of the affairs of the prefectural city for the time being. Compared with Wu You, Ma Duo preferred cultivation and usually took care of the least things. This time, he had no choice but to take over.

The sky gradually darkened. Ma Duo finished a breath adjustment and then listened to the people outside reporting what happened that day. Trivial matters would not be reported to him. The main thing was some other useful things, such as someone found a better raw material, someone found an unknown thing, which might be a treasure, etc.

Collecting various raw materials in the prefectural city has never stopped.

After a night's rest, Ma Duo came to the yard at dawn the next day, looked up at the sky, and frowned.

Wu You and the others had been out for almost a day. Calculating the time, it was seven or eight hours. If it was just a little monster in the Qi transformation realm, they should have returned long ago. Why haven't they returned yet?

Could it be that the monster was cunning and was not caught, so the three of them haven't returned yet?

Ma Duo thought about it by himself, hesitated, and returned to the room.

Soon it was afternoon again. Wu You and the other two had not returned yet, and there was no news. They had been out for more than a day. Even if they had not caught the monster, someone should have come back to tell them about the situation. It was a bit abnormal that none of the three had returned.

In the evening, Ma Duo could not help but called the villagers who had not left and came for help again and asked them again.

The result was the same as what Wu You said. The villagers only saw a monster. Every time it appeared, it was wrapped in a layer of black fog, which was consistent with the characteristics of a general Qi transformation monster. Every time this monster came out, it would capture a few people. They had sent a group of people for help before, but there was no news, so the second group came.

The second group of people came separately and finally arrived at the city smoothly.

"Beacon fire, there must be!"

Ma Duo shook his head and muttered to himself. After the nearby Lich Battlefield ended, most of the beacon towers were deactivated. Only a few near Fucheng were still in use.

The beacon tower has advantages, but it also has disadvantages, that is, it is far away from the capital. Once there is an enemy situation, the people on the beacon tower are almost certain to die, so those who go to garrison the beacon tower are basically dead soldiers.

There is no Lich battlefield nearby, and after cleaning it up a few times, the beacon tower is gradually abandoned. But now, it seems that the beacon tower cannot be completely abandoned. We need to find a way to re-activate the beacon tower. What's the use of this? You can also know some things in advance.

The next morning, Wu You and the others had not returned yet.

Ma Duo stayed up all night. The moment the sun came out, he stood up suddenly and went directly to the backyard to visit the fire Taoist.

Ma Duo has a stable temperament and is also smart. He usually has nothing to do and will never trouble Taoist Huo. If he came in such a hurry in the morning, something must have happened, and it is not a trivial matter.

"It's been two days and you haven't come back?"

Taoist Huo was originally sitting cross-legged, but after listening to Ma Duo's report, he stood up suddenly with his brows furrowed.

The three people who went out were Wu You, Yang Du and Hu Yiming. Everyone knew that Wu You was the first person to follow Gu Zheng and was Gu Zheng's confidant. Although he did not have the title of master and disciple, he had a close relationship with Gu Zheng. The reality of master and disciple.

Hu Yiming is his only disciple now, and Yang Du is the immortal who followed him to win the treasure last time.

The three of them are all immortals. Hu Yiming has reached the peak state of the late stage of returning to the void. In the future, if there is a chance, he may break through to the Golden Immortal at any time. With such strength, it is simply a piece of cake to deal with a monster in the Qi Transformation Realm. But now I haven't been back for two days, which is really surprising.

"Let's go to the young master and ask!"

After just thinking about it, Taoist Huo immediately made the decision to eat, while Ma Duo was a little stunned.

"Do you want to alarm the young master about this matter?"

Ma Duo asked in a low voice. After all, it was just a matter of a little monster. They couldn't do such a thing well. Even he had no shame to see Gu Zheng. They were all immortals now.

As for Gu Zheng's strength, he knows it very well now, unlike before when he didn't know anything.

Daluo Jinxian, Daluo Jinxian, not to mention Daluo Jinxian, even Jinxian is an existence that he absolutely cannot resist. Although Gu Zheng is only in the realm of Jinxian, he has a strength comparable to Daluo Jinxian, even in the entire prehistoric era. It can be regarded as a character.

As for Tao, he is already a real Da Luo Jinxian.

"No, I have a feeling that this time is not a trivial matter. Don't forget, the young master has a treasure in his hands. Let's go ask first and don't act rashly yet!"

Taoist Huo shook his head. He had always been cautious. It was precisely because of this caution that he was able to escape after they were defeated in Wuliang Kingdom last time.

Because of this caution, he never looked down upon Gu Zheng. Even though he was in the late Golden Immortal stage, he still respected Gu Zheng very much. He never objected to anything Gu Zheng said. This became the thing he was most proud of.

You must know that Gu Zheng was just an immortal at the time, and Tao was not in Fucheng at all. He was a late-stage golden immortal, but he didn't put on airs with an immortal, and just said whatever he said was what the other person said. From an outsider's perspective, this was almost impossible. Such impossibility saved him.

It was the same this time. He instinctively felt something was wrong, so he went to Gu Zheng.

Ma Duo stopped talking, and the two flew out of the city together to the villa.

Gu Zheng was in retreat. He had done a food retreat a few days ago. Zhao Gongming and the others also ate it, and they were all amazed. Gu Zheng's cooking skills had completely impressed them.

However, the effect of food repair still calmed them down.

There is actually food that can directly increase your cultivation level after eating it, and you can keep eating it. It is more effective than the elixir. This simply subverts their understanding. Shen Gongbao even bluntly said that people with this ability will be better in the future. Even if he is a cook, he is a cook that everyone respects.

The status of a cook must change because of this kind of food.

At this time, there was no concept of the Immortal Chef, but what Shen Gongbao said was the Immortal Chef in the future, and it was indeed the case. Food cultivation played a very important role in improving the status of the Immortal Chef.

Gu Zheng usually rarely retreats, so after eating food and cultivating, he will retreat for a few days to improve his cultivation.

"The three of you haven't been back for two days?"

After listening to their stories, Gu Zheng also felt that something was wrong. After holding on to it, a yellow scroll immediately appeared in his hand. The reason why Taoist Huo came to Gu Zheng was because of this treasure.

With this treasure, at least their current life and death status can be found out.

Before he even opened it, a thick evil aura emerged from Gu Zheng's body. This evil aura made Taoist Huo feel suffocated, unable to move, and full of panic in his heart.

The Taoist Huo was in the late Golden Immortal stage. No matter how strong Gu Zheng was, he was still in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal stage and could not match him in terms of realm. He didn't expect that Gu Zheng just released the evil spirit and made him feel so uncomfortable. It was really hard for him to believe.

The evil spirits come and go quickly. Taoist Huo and the others always thought that Tao was the one with the most evil spirits. He didn’t know how many people Tao had killed. But looking at it now, they were all wrong. They were so wrong. The one with the worst evil spirits was Tao. It's actually an ancient dispute.

Gu Zheng spent most of his time in Fucheng. I really don't know how he developed such a strong evil spirit.

Of course Huo Taoist and the others don't know that Gu Zheng's evil aura is not just now, but also in the past. He has killed many people, including Daluo Jinxian. Can the evil aura be reduced?
