Chapter 1448
The two walked in the other direction, because the information they provided before was indeed accurate. After the battle was over, those who did not participate in the battle were invited to the vacant house and provided with good food and drink.
There were even some demon residents. Some of them were afraid of being hurt before and fled to the surrounding areas. Seeing this, they still wanted to sneak in. Unfortunately, those who did not go had been marked with ink by Qiaoqi and others, and they were identified at a glance and all arrested and placed in the prisoner camp.
As for the rebellious prisoners, the treatment was not so good. Not only were they locked up among the people who were also captured, but they could only eat one meal a day to ensure that they would not starve to death.
No matter how much supplies there were, they were not for these people to eat.
As for why they were treated so well before, it was actually to get some information.
After a while, Gu Zheng found Qiaoqi, who surrendered first, in a room.
"Lord Zushen!" Qiaoqi drove everyone else out wisely, and he was the only one in the room.
"You did a good job this time. Do you have any other requests?" The fact that the other party won over some people during the battle can prove that the other party is really thoughtful, even if it does not help them in any way.
"Thank you, sir. I feel everything is fine. I have no other requests!" Qiaoqi said respectfully. He originally only wanted to survive this war, but did not want to die like this.
"I said that there must be rewards for merit. Since you don't say it, then take this thing and find us if you have any problems." Gu Zheng threw a round pill directly into the other party's arms, left a word and left here.
As for their arrangements, Gu Zheng also had a plan in his mind. It was impossible to leave here!
They just stayed here honestly, which was equivalent to putting the other party under house arrest. When the final island battle was over, they would see the situation.
He gave Ren Jie a few simple instructions, then went to the other side of the stream, found Haiming who was guarding the other party's captives, and took him to fly towards the opposite abdomen.
Many scattered people were resting in between the hills. For most of them, the battle was over. They knew what was happening above, but they had no say. They could only look at the two figures in the sky from time to time, showing a complicated look.
Gu Zheng had come here and saw two figures waiting for him. He could not help but speed up his pace.
"Hello, uncles!" As soon as he approached them, Hai Ming greeted them in a familiar way before Gu Zheng spoke.
"Haha, Xiao Hai, go and play with your friends. Your master and I have something to talk about." The old man on the left, wearing a black coat, said to Hai Ming with a kind face.
"I know!" Hai Ming cheered and fell down. After climbing over a few hills, he disappeared.
"Mr. Gu, please come in. It's not our way to entertain guests outside." The old man on the right, who was wearing a long robe over his knees, also responded to Gu Zheng's initial invitation gesture.
The three of them sat down in a small wooden house, and there was a pot of steaming tea on the table, which looked like it had just been brewed. It was obvious that they had known that Gu Zheng would come here at this time.
"I wonder what the two seniors want to see me about."
As soon as the three of them sat down, Gu Zheng stood up and poured them tea, and the air became quiet.
The two opposite just sipped the tea, and then kept looking at Gu Zheng, and did not speak. Gu Zheng was a little embarrassed by the other party, so he had to speak first.
"It's okay, I just want to see how the person who can cure Haiming is. At least it seems that he didn't disappoint us." Hearing Gu Zheng speak, the black old man smiled and said.
"Thank you, thank you, if it weren't for the help of the two elders, it wouldn't be so easy." Gu Zheng quickly flattered him. Not to mention his relationship with Haiming, just relying on the two old golden immortals on the other side, he would probably have to flee in embarrassment.
"Hehe, don't be modest. In our place, strength is everything. Your strength is worthy of everyone's special attention." The old man in the robe next to him glanced at Gu Zheng and said with some dissatisfaction.
These humans just like this line, too slow.
Gu Zheng had to laugh dryly. The other party was not disgusted with him, but was dissatisfied with the modesty of humans.
"Okay, I won't say more to you. We don't have any other intentions. We just want to see you before leaving. I hope you can treat Xiao Hai well!" The old man in the black robe laughed, then took out a piece of his own red crystal core and put it on the table.
"Just destroy this. We are still bound and can't do it ourselves."
"This won't cause you trouble!" Gu Zheng hesitated and reached out to take it.
"Good boy, I think I like you for what you said." The old man in the robe slammed the table and said to Gu Zheng.
Looking at the old man who changed his face so quickly, Gu Zheng almost couldn't keep up with his rhythm.
"I'll give you mine too, so we can withdraw from the battle on the island."
"Well, after we finish this mission, we will leave here. We won't be punished. Don't worry!" The old man in black robe explained to Gu Zheng without any surprise.
"Okay then!" Seeing the other party say this, Gu Zheng grabbed the two crystal cores in his hand, and gently squeezed them. The two crystal cores were completely damaged, which also meant that the old man had completely lost his identity as the ancestor god.
"Thank you for your help. If there is a chance, I will definitely repay you." Gu Zheng sincerely thanked them.
"Haha, I hope so. If something really happens and we can meet again, I will definitely not let go of such a powerful labor force." The old man in long robe laughed.
"You are really embarrassed to flatter yourself. To be honest, we still forced to return this time. Of course, it was the people over there who notified us. We should thank them." The old man in black robe pointed outside and said deliberately.
"Even so, thank you!" Gu Zheng immediately understood what they meant.
I'm afraid that the priests didn't know how to notify them and let them help themselves more.
This also explains why the tribe without the ancestral god was actually interfered by the two of them. Just like the way Gui Xi came here, it probably cost a lot of money. Fortunately, they are leaving this time, otherwise the people in the west don't know how to look at the two of them.
"Don't waste your time. Just take all these things away. We don't need them anymore. Just consider them as my apprenticeship gift to Xiao Hai. Otherwise, Xiao Hai will suffer!" The old man in black robe smiled slightly and took out several more standard bracelets, as if he was giving benefits to Gu Zheng.
This kind of bracelet is basically in abundance, but it can only be used here. It will break after leaving here. As for the one Gu Zheng gave to Ren Ling, it was the one he brought from outside.
This kind can be submitted again in exchange for some meager supplies.
As for not exchanging, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. After all, there are so many that they are not worth anything at all. Moreover, after a certain number of years, this thing will explode and everything stored inside will fall out.
"Don't worry. As long as I am here, Hai Ming will never be bullied!" Gu Zheng did not refuse and put it away neatly.
"I hope so. By the way, you can take these villagers back with you. They are still somewhat useful." This is when the old man in the long robe spoke, and he became serious again.
After saying that, the two men raised their glasses almost at the same time. Gu Zheng stood up and nodded slightly to the two old men, and then left.
As soon as he went out, he met three people standing outside the door. When he was surprised, one of them spoke.
"Mr. Gu, we are all ready, just waiting for you to come out together!"
Gu Zheng didn't expect that the other party had already arranged it. Looking around, everyone was ready to leave here. Looking back, Gu Zheng nodded to them.
"Let's leave here together!"
The three people went down again soon. With shouts, everyone started to set off forward.
Gu Zheng saw Haiming talking and laughing with his friend in the distance. It seemed that the other party didn't know Haiming's identity, and didn't call him over. Instead, he slowly flew up and went back with the monsters who volunteered to be his captives below.
It took a whole month for Gu Zheng to bring this group of monsters back to the camp.
It is worth mentioning that Gu Zheng had sensed the location of the cold-faced man and his men halfway, but he did not go to find the other party because the other party had joined the Tiger King Tribe. In fact, when the Tiger King Tribe statue was destroyed, the Tiger King Tribe had already lost.
Even if the Dark Tiger is resurrected now and he kills everyone, the person with the red bead is the final winner, and he cannot change the fact.
And the cold-faced man and his men also knew it, so they did not want to trouble Gu Zheng.
Ren Jie on this side also received advance notice from Gu Zheng, and urgently sent more people to rush to build some houses, but most of them still used the things of the Tiger King Tribe. It happened that most of them were idle, so they were all allowed to live in this group of special guests.
After the smooth handover, Gu Zheng did not ask any more questions. Anyway, Ren Jie was very familiar with some of them, so he just let them take charge and they would definitely not treat them unfairly.
At this time, Gu Zheng finally had a chance to rest.
After briefly informing He Sheng, Gu Zheng entered the retreat and began to meditate and recover.
After this series of battles, he was already very tired, and he had to force himself to transform the statue. After so many things, he felt that he had reached his limit.
He Sheng also understood Gu Zheng's fatigue, and came down from the top of the mountain directly. He started patrolling as usual every day, and if Ren Jie had any undecided things, he would make a decision directly.
After all, he was also the ancestor god, and he was much better at dealing with some trivial matters in the tribe than Gu Zheng.
Half a year passed in a flash, and everyone lived peacefully during this period, but everyone knew that this was just a calm lake surface. When Gu Zheng came out, it would probably not be calm again.
And on this day, Gu Zheng finally appeared from his retreat.
"Master Ancestor God, we are all ready, just waiting for your order!"
When Ren Jie was listening to his elders reporting the task, Gu Zheng suddenly appeared in front of him, making him stop talking immediately and speak loudly to Gu Zheng.
Including the few people below, all looked at Gu Zheng with shining eyes, because they were now the most powerful on the entire island, and those monsters would continue to help them secretly.
They have only one opponent, the human village in the distance. As long as they defeat them, this beautiful island will be theirs!
"No, no, I'm not here to go to war right now, but you did a good job. I originally asked you to prepare and be ready to go at any time, but now it seems that it's not necessary!" Gu Zheng chuckled and said to everyone.
Although the village looks the same now, Gu Zheng knows that with just one order, a large army can be assembled in a very short time. It seems that none of them have been idle in the past six months.
Under the pressure from outside, no one relaxed themselves.
"The main thing is that the ancestor god needs us to go at any time!" Seeing that Gu Zheng was not preparing to march, Ren Jie could only say so. He thought that this time Gu Zheng came out of retreat to let him prepare for battle.
"You guys continue, I won't bother you." As soon as the voice fell, Gu Zheng disappeared in front of them.
This time, Gu Zheng found He Sheng who was patrolling outside.
Although he had just emerged from retreat, he had already sensed what was happening outside. Of course, he knew He Sheng's ability very well. If the ancestor god could not be the patriarch, Gu Zheng even wanted to replace Ren Jie.
"Mr. Gu!" He Sheng was patrolling alone. At this time, he was looking at a group of captives here, observing whether there were people making trouble secretly. The lack of food for the past six months has made them all weak, but he still did not slack off. He shouted immediately when he saw Gu Zheng coming.
"Put down everything in your hands and leave!" Gu Zheng did not say much nonsense and immediately arranged.
"Yes!"
The figures of the two disappeared from the sky above the tribe in a blink of an eye.
This time, Gu Zheng took He Sheng directly to Sun Weixin's tribe. Before the battle, he wanted to try for the last time to see if he could solve it peacefully.
If the other party was really stubborn, Gu Zheng would not show mercy.
Soon the two people came to the outside of the village here at lightning speed.
Wisps of green smoke rose from the village. At this time, they were eating.
But what surprised Gu Zheng was that he remembered that the last time he saw them, they still looked hungry and cold, but now looking at them, although not compared with his own place, it was better than before.
The two had just arrived here and were still observing when two figures suddenly appeared beside them. They were Sun Weixin and Gui Xi.
They did not hide their aura at all, so when they came, they were sensed by Sun Weixin.
"Gu Daoyou!" Sun Weixin bowed to Gu Zheng, and his tone was obviously different from what he had seen at first. His condescending attitude had completely disappeared.
"Senior Sun, it seems that your injuries have all healed. Congratulations!" Gu Zheng felt their auras, including Gui Xi who was seriously injured before, and found that he had recovered like himself.
"Thanks to you, otherwise I would not have the chance to talk to you here!" Sun Weixin smiled and then asked Gu Zheng.
"You two should come in and talk."
Gu Zheng's heart moved. The other party's tone was very different from before, and it seemed that there was a play, but there was no flaw on his face. Instead, he nodded and said.
"Excuse me!"
The group did not walk over from the ground, but flew directly to a house near the sea. The house here covers a large area, and there is no one within a thousand meters. It looks like Sun Weixin's room.
As expected, as soon as you enter the house, you can see that the decoration inside is luxurious, which is not easy in this place.
"Please sit down, fellow Daoist Gu, thank you very much for your help last time, otherwise I would have been doomed!"
There are only a few seats here. After sitting down together, Sun Weixin thanked Gu Zheng again.
"Senior Sun is joking. Even without me, you will be fine!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Although I was a little proud before, I still understand that if you didn't appear, I really couldn't escape from the Tiger King, even with a few of us!" Seeing Gu Zheng refuse, he understood that the other party was just being polite, and insisted again.
"By the way, why didn't I see Miss Qinglian? I wonder if her injury has healed!" Gu Zheng didn't go on to the topic, otherwise it would seem that he was taking advantage of someone's misfortune. Besides, at that time, he just wanted to drag Sun Weixin to deal with the Tiger King together, so that he could be more relaxed and consume Sun Weixin by the way, but he would not say this.
After all, at that time, he was not sure that he could defeat the Dark Tiger, but it happened that he had something that restrained him, otherwise, like before, he might be chased and killed by Ling Fei.
Even in the end, he succeeded in killing him by relying on the formation, because the opponent was really powerful, Gu Zheng was not sure to defeat him head-on.
Gu Zheng didn't dare to hold his chest and say that he was invincible in the Golden Immortal Stage, and there were many people who were more powerful than him.
"She? She is still recuperating in the distance. It's thanks to you that she can save her life, otherwise we won't save her!" As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, Gui Xi said disdainfully beside him.
"That's right." Sun Weixin looked at Gu Zheng's puzzled expression and quickly told him the situation at that time, which made Gu Zheng suddenly realize.
"I knew that woman would end up like this if she continued like this!" He Sheng, who was standing next to him, also said disdainfully after hearing it, and was disgusted with her shameful behavior from the bottom of his heart.
"Who would have thought that she would be like this? Anyway, she has been excluded from the outside!"
Gui Xi and He Sheng had a common topic and began to chat continuously.
Gu Zheng didn't interrupt, but looked at them with a faint smile, but his peripheral vision was always paying attention to Sun Weixin, because at this time his eyes were a little absent-minded, and his face also changed slightly, as if he was struggling with something.
After a while, Sun Weixin finally looked firm and said to Gu Zheng beside him.
"Gu Daoyou, I won't fight with you for the island battle this time. This is the core of my statue. You can take it and destroy it."
After saying this, Sun Weixin took out the crystal core that he had prepared long ago from his arms, threw it forward, and it floated in front of Gu Zheng.
At this time, even He Sheng and the other person who were chatting next to them also fell silent, and their eyes looked at Gu Zheng at the same time.
The air was silent.
