Chapter 1534
After they all left, Gu Zheng immediately sealed the door.
At this time, Gu Zheng also groaned, and pressed his palm on the table next to him. His cheeks, which had been calm, became flushed. After a long time, he slowly returned to normal.
He put a pill into Gu Zheng's mouth, closed his eyes and began to regulate his breath.
You know, the last purple lightning seemed so powerful, but it consumed 50% of Gu Zheng's mana. So all the mana was drained, and he almost fainted on the spot.
And the reason why Man Li was severely injured was because the other party did not expect that he would launch such a fierce attack at all. As a result, his body directly hit him, but only caused such a little damage to the other party, which shows how strong his body is.
If Zi Yi controlled it personally, this would have killed the other party.
In any case, I guess I will be quiet for a while, and no one will disturb me, which is worth it.
But Elder Ye's matter may have to be put aside for the time being.
After thinking carefully again, leaving only a trace of his mind outside, Gu Zheng completely fell into recuperation.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye. For Gu Zheng, it was just a snap of a finger. At this time, he finally recovered from the injuries in his body and recovered to the best condition.
As soon as he went out, the whole yard was empty. There was only the sound of the wind passing by, and no other sounds could be heard. It seemed that everyone had left.
There was also a layer of dust in the yard. It seemed that it had not been cleaned for quite some time. Even the pool at the corner had some weeds.
After a little perception, he found that he was indeed the only one here.
He walked out of the door, and he didn't know where they had gone this year.
Just after taking two steps, he heard the sound of the door opening outside.
A somewhat unfamiliar young man walked in from outside, holding some things that could be used in life in his hand. When he saw Gu Zheng, he immediately became a little excited.
"Elder Gu, are you awake? I was ordered by Elder Yu to stay here, waiting for you to wake up." The young man quickly put down the things in his hand and said respectfully to Gu Zheng.
"Where are they?" Gu Zheng felt that the other person's breath was indeed from the water tribe, and couldn't help asking.
"They all left here not long after Elder Gu was in seclusion. Because our water tribe was re-divided into a new place, everyone went there, and I stayed and waited for the elder to come out! Do you want to go to our new place now?" The young man said hurriedly.
"Let's go!" Gu Zheng thought about it, and he had nothing else to do, so he set off directly to the territory of the water tribe.
Along the way, Gu Zheng asked the young man some questions.
Thanks to Gu Zheng's blessing, his arrival finally passed the plan they had been applying for to change the territory, but it was not the best place before. They also knew that even if Gu Zheng existed, that place was not something that the water tribe could occupy, so they continued to go north and were not too far away from the South Demon City.
There is a natural valley there. As long as a water flow is brought in through the ground, it will be a very good location.
There is a black wind all year round on the right. You can ensure your safety and basically don't have to worry about sneak attacks from the opposite side.
The space in the valley is also large enough for all of them to live in it.
As for the scattered monsters that originally lived in it, they were of course expelled by them. With the reputation of Gu Zheng's battle, these scattered monsters left without saying anything.
Although there are also golden immortal masters among them, otherwise they would not occupy this place, but Gu Zheng can pick them all by himself, and with the order issued by the master, they are also very sensible and give up their positions.
And what surprised Gu Zheng was that Fan Yu was still alive, because the Fan family had already spent a lot of money to find a thousand soul grass, and the high reward was attractive.
This kind of grass can only survive in places deep in the North Mountain, and it is also very rare. It is rumored that there is also a thousand soul grass on the first line peak, but unfortunately no one has the courage to find it.
It seems that a master saved his life, but Gu Zheng didn't care. Now the other party probably knew that it was his doing, so he had to be careful that the other party would trip him up.
If the enemy comes, the general will fight, and if the water comes, the earth will cover it. As long as it is not Daluo who takes action, the other party will have no deterrent power against him. If it threatens the water clan, Gu Zheng can only say that it's up to you.
It's just a place to cover up his identity, but Ying Shao should be protected by himself, maybe it will be useful.
And Gu Zheng also noticed one thing from the tone of this young man, that is, the strict inspection of Nan Yao City seems to be strict now. In his words, usually at this time, it is the front end of the battle, and I am afraid that the battle will start again.
This made Gu Zheng a little worried. He hadn't rescued Elder Ye yet, but the battle started again.
The frequency of this battle is completely different from what Xingcai told him. I don't know why I feel a little strange in my heart.
A week later, Gu Zheng came to this valley. It was indeed a good place. There was a small lake in the middle, which they dug out with great effort.
After a grand ceremony, the valley calmed down again after Yu Ye and other water creatures welcomed them, and Gu Zheng settled down there.
After three years of construction, everything above and below ground had been completed.
Most of the aquatic tribes still live below, while those humans live above, returning to their previous life track.
The only difference is that the environment has become good, and no one has come to harass them.
Three days later, in a luxurious room on the ground, Gu Zheng was sitting on the main seat, listening to Lu Jun's gray defeat below.
"The guy who came to humiliate us last time was beaten half to death by his parents. It's really gratifying to bring him up to confess his crime!" After reporting some things, Lu Jun couldn't help but talk about the humiliation. If it weren't for that time, he might have missed Gu Zheng.
Speaking of fate, it's really wonderful. If they didn't meet Gu Zheng, if Gu Zheng got his things and left here, then their aquatic tribe would be completely finished.
Now he is still in charge of the entire aquatic tribe, and Yu Ye is still instructing him from behind. It seems that he is training him as an heir.
"Only if you are strong enough can you win the respect of others. You need to practice more. Go and call Yingshao over. There are things to ask her!" Gu Zheng gave a few simple warnings and said again.
"Yes!"
Soon Yingshao rushed over from outside with an excited look on her face.
On the day Gu Zheng came back, she happened to be hiding in the dark river below to sleep. As a result, Luo Xin did not find her. When she came again, Gu Zheng was closed and did not see anyone until this time.
"Elder Gu, I miss you so much. You have been in seclusion for such a long time this time, longer than the time I sleep." Yingshao threw herself next to Gu Zheng's chair from below and said happily.
"Then how long can you sleep?" Gu Zheng asked deliberately.
"Well, the longest time I slept was a year. If I was not so hungry, I would definitely be able to sleep!" Yingshao thought for a while and said.
"Great!" Gu Zheng praised with a thumbs up, looking at the other party's smug face, and continued, "Did you find out the information I asked you to find out?"
Before, Gu Zheng gave her a very big task, which was to get some information from Luo Xin. Since the other party could mix with Fan Yu, he must know a lot of secrets.
As for Ying Shao's innocent and unpretentious attitude, as long as she deliberately inquired, no one would doubt her motives.
"I found out, and Sister Luo Xin told me a lot. It was really wonderful, but I felt it was too dangerous and a little scared!" Ying Shao said excitedly at first, but later she turned worried, as if she was facing the bloody storm outside.
"You, you can't hide all the time, sooner or later you will have to face it yourself!" Gu Zheng said earnestly, but it seemed that Ying Shao didn't care at all.
"I'll just follow the elder. If there's anything you can't solve, I can't do anything about it. At worst, I'll hide myself and no one can find me. I'll hide you with me." Ying Shao laughed heartlessly.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot. Sister Luo Xin told me that during that battle."
Ying Shao slapped her head suddenly and quickly told Gu Zheng what he had given her.
"It took me two years to find out these things. Isn't it amazing!" Ying Shao said proudly at last.
"Awesome, go down, don't tell anyone about this! Got it!" Gu Zheng praised him again, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Ying Shao smiled and nodded, and then jumped away from here.
Seeing Ying Shao leave here, Gu Zheng also stood up and walked outside.
The information Ying Shao had found out did point out the direction, but it would be best if she could find out the details herself. But now the general is inside, and she has no confidence in sneaking in under his nose.
The place where Elder Ye was imprisoned was indeed on the other side of the general's mansion, which made him very embarrassed.
Walking on the road outside, Gu Zheng saw that the humans were taking care of the surrounding environment, cleaning up some useless things such as weeds, and transporting away some stones. In short, most people were not idle.
When some adults saw Gu Zheng coming, they immediately knelt on the ground. They didn't dare to get up and continue to do their work until Gu Zheng left.
Gu Zheng didn't ask them about their affairs. Even though they were all in tatters and a little yellow and thin, he couldn't change their status by himself. If he gave them rashly, it would bring disaster to them.
They are now in a much better situation than the South Demon City.
At least the water tribe is gentle and will not beat them for fun for no reason.
While walking, suddenly a bird flew in from the entrance outside, shouting loudly.
"Emergency order! Emergency order!"
The sharp voice immediately echoed in the valley, ensuring that everyone could hear his shouting.
Gu Zheng dodged and blocked in front of him, causing him to flap his wings frantically and almost collide with him. Even so, he didn't dare to say anything more, because he had also seen the battle a few years ago and of course knew who the person in front of him was.
"What's going on?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Elder Gu, now the general has issued an order that all the races belonging to the Southern Demon City should gather at the South Gate within three months and prepare for battle." The bird spoke in human language.
At this time, Yu Ye and the other two also heard the sound and flew up from the water below, just in time to hear his words.
"Why is it so fast this time? Are we going to start a war again?" Yao Yu said in confusion. At the same time, he looked to the side in confusion, but saw Yu Ye also shaking his head at him, indicating that he didn't know.
"According to previous records, each battle was separated by at least hundreds of years, and the longest was no more than five thousand years, and they would launch an attack on the opposite side. But this time it was only fifteen years later, which was much earlier. It's really strange!" Pi Yuanlong said slowly.
"I don't know either. I just conveyed the order to you. This time it was also very sudden. All races were notified!" The bird looked at the four people looking at him and said hurriedly.
"I know, we won't be late!" Yu Ye saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he replied.
As the bird flew away, Gu Zheng turned his attention to the three of them.
"Elder, we'll talk later. Yao Yu, go find Lu Jun and let Zong Hua and the others go directly to the South Gate to gather!" Yu Ye spoke directly. He knew that Gu Zheng didn't understand it very well, so he would explain it to him later.
"You are still at home this time! You go and mobilize those people first, and we will set off in a few days." Yu Ye turned and said to Pi Yuanlong.
Pi Yuanlong nodded, and without saying much, he fell directly into the lake below and went below to inform those people.
"Elder, please! I will give you a general idea and you will know!" At this time, Yu Ye turned and said to Gu Zheng.
The two of them went down one by one. In fact, before they fell down, they had not reached the hall dedicated to the parliament, where Gu Zheng had stayed before, and he had finished talking.
It was similar to what Gu Zheng knew himself, and there was nothing much to say. It was just that they did not initiate a battle to destroy the other side, but to train soldiers.
However, if the war went well, they would also capture some humans and serve as slaves.
But if they did a little too much, the demon tribe guarding the opposite city would also send soldiers to come and expel them.
It was completely different from what Xingcai said, which was indeed a bit strange. After such a long battle, didn't the other side know?
The only similarity is that the demons here will not sacrifice too much. Once they reach a certain limit, they will retreat.
This strange thought flashed through his mind. Perhaps they tacitly suppressed the human race again. This is the biggest possibility in Gu Zheng's mind.
In short, Gu Zheng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. It seemed that it was not what he imagined, but now there were no other clues, and he didn't know what it was. He could only put it aside and wait until later.
Soon, the water tribes underground appeared on the ground one after another, lined up neatly, with more than a thousand warriors, but their cultivation was basically level four or five, and there was no one lower, perhaps because their combat power was not up to standard and could not leave.
After these people gathered, they were led by Yu Ye and headed south along the river, heading towards the South Gate.
Gu Zheng did not intervene at all during this period, and followed the other party silently. He asked on the third day after leaving their valley.
"It's so early, isn't it too early for us to rush over so quickly!"
"It's not early anymore. The general has a habit that the later the people come, the more difficult the battle will be. So the sooner the better. If you don't come within three months, then we will have to wait for the general's personal greetings. We can't do anything. The less losses we can suffer, the less losses we will suffer." Yu Ye said with a grim face.
In the battle, it is impossible not to die, it's just a matter of how many.
"Elder Gu, why don't you go first? There is no danger here!" Yu Ye suggested here. Even if they speed up their journey, it will take at least half a month.
"Okay, I'll go and take a look first. If there is anything, contact me in time." Gu Zheng thought about it and decided not to accompany them.
After saying that, Gu Zheng's figure broke away from the team and turned into a blue light in the air and disappeared in front of the team.
A few days later, Gu Zheng, who was rushing at full speed, came to the east of Nan Yao City again.
In fact, the location of the South Demon City is right in the middle of this huge canyon. After leaving the nearest city gate, it only takes one day to reach the entrance of the canyon from the city gate.
When Gu Zheng arrived here, many scattered demons were walking in groups of three or five.
They were free to move around and form teams to fight together. Of course, what they got was theirs, but they could not interfere with the general's affairs.
In general, the demons took the lead in launching attacks. In the long history of humans, there was only one active attack, and the loss was huge. They did not go out, but relied on defense to defend. Only in this way could the greatest damage be reduced.
While thinking, Gu Zheng followed the flow of people and walked in. This canyon was not a straight line, but felt a little curved. After walking for a while, there was only a mountain wall behind.
The outermost part of the Nanguan Canyon is the widest, but the further you go inside, you can feel that the two sides are becoming narrower. It is estimated that after walking for half an hour, the width is only one-tenth of the original size. Both sides are almost right-angled mountain walls. Even from the online magazine, you can see a wisp of black fog blowing over the top.
The black wind completely discouraged everyone from wanting to cross over. Countless humans and demons were killed there. As long as they went deeper into the cave, none of the weaker humans and demons would be able to come out alive.
Even if some powerful people succeeded in breaking through, they were seriously injured and could not play any role.
At this time, some guards in black armor stood in the front and began to block the way of those scattered people. Looking forward from here, you can see that there is a wall dozens of feet high, connecting the two sides together and completely blocking the passage, but there are several stone doors below that are also more than ten feet high, now tightly closed.
All these scattered monsters were blocked here and were not allowed to move forward.
There were not many people at this time, only a hundred or so people in total, so it didn't seem crowded.
And there were not many people following behind, and it seemed that more monsters had not come yet.
After all, it was still early, and as an attacker, there was enough time to prepare.
Gu Zheng took out his identity card, flashed it in front of the soldiers, and walked in smoothly.
