Chapter 1693
In a blink of an eye, a year has passed again.
During these days, Senlu came here once. After leaving some precious elixirs for Gu Zheng, he left in a hurry without saying a few words.
Xiaoying and Gu Zheng almost never went out of the main gate or the second gate except for the necessary inspections.
It looked calm outside, not much different from when he came.
Of course, there were some differences. After all, there were many people living next to Gu Zheng. More than a dozen people at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm also moved in, but they were all under the jurisdiction of Gu Zheng.
On this day, Gu Zheng stood in the yard, looking at the clear sky, ready to go to Pan Xuan. No matter what, in Gu Zheng's view, the Blue Medicine Gate could not hold on to this battle, even though there were nearly 700 reinforcements, but Gu Zheng had no confidence at all.
The gap between the enemy and us was a bit huge. Even with the resistance of the formation, it was only to save his own fate.
"Miss Sen, this is the temporary resting place of Yaoguang Island."
At this time, a somewhat flattering voice came from outside. Gu Zheng looked down from the sky and looked towards the gate.
An elite disciple of Lan Yaomen walked in first, and then a woman also stepped in from outside and saw Gu Zheng standing in the garden at a glance.
"This is Elder Gu stationed here, in charge of everything here." The elite disciple immediately introduced to Miss Sen.
Gu Zheng also knew this elite disciple. His name was Cao Xi. He was a person with outstanding ability and cultivation. Many ordinary things on the island were conveyed by him. He was often seen going to Elder Qi every ten days.
"Elder Gu, this is Sen Yan, the only beloved daughter of our Sect Master Sen. This time she came to inspect the surroundings as a routine." After Cao Xi introduced Sen Yan, he immediately turned his head to introduce the identity of this woman to Gu Zheng.
Everyone with a cultivation level above Daluo was pressed by Lan Yaomen to the door of an outer elder. In this way, at least the title was easy to address and the relationship between each other could be brought closer.
"Miss Sen, it's the first time we meet. You are as beautiful as the rumors say." Gu Zheng looked at Sen Yan and praised her.
Her skin is whiter than snow, her teeth are white and her lips are red, her face is beautiful, and her eyes are full of tenderness. It makes people feel distressed. Gu Zheng has to admit that she is indeed a beauty.
"Elder Gu, you are too polite. Originally, my husband should come here, but now I am busy with affairs and can't spare the time. I have entrusted you to come and see if you need anything."
Sen Yan smiled slightly, and her voice was soft and crisp, which was very pleasant to hear. From the other party's words, it can be known that she should be a relatively weak woman, unlike many women who are alone outside, so strong, which has a lot to do with the environment she is in.
"Everything is fine here, everything is very sufficient, and there is no slight neglect." Gu Zheng sighed in his heart, and his face was indeed smiling.
"That's good. If there is really anything you need, Elder Gu, don't be polite. Just tell us. We will definitely do our best to do what we can." Sen Yan was not impatient, which made people feel a very peaceful context.
"If you need me, I will not be polite." Gu Zheng said politely.
"Sorry to bother you, Elder Gu. I have many things to do outside, so I won't talk to you in detail." Sen Yan smiled slightly, and then said goodbye to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng walked to the door symbolically, watching the other party walk in another direction. It seems that he should go to the middle stone hall. At this time, Elder Qi should be there.
The other party came here and visited him first, and he didn't miss this detail.
"No one is gone? Still looking!" Xiaoying came up from behind and watched the other party disappear, saying a little jealously.
"What do you know? I just feel something in my heart!" Gu Zheng laughed, he knew Xiaoying didn't know why.
"Isn't there a person who is paying for it over there? You still have to look at others." Xiaoying pointed to that place with her little hand. That was the island where Pan Xuan was stationed.
"Don't you say it, we will go there in a while, what do you think?" Gu Zheng said deliberately.
"I'm not going to pay attention to you." Xiaoying snorted, turned around and walked towards the house, leaving Gu Zheng alone in the yard.
After a while, two figures rose from the other side of the island and flew in another direction, apparently heading towards other islands.
"Senior Gu."
At this time, two people came out of other rooms and greeted Gu Zheng.
"Is it your turn to patrol today? It's really fast!" Gu Zheng looked at the two people in front of him, one in the late Golden Immortal stage and the other in the middle Golden Immortal stage. They were in groups of two, each responsible for patrolling Qitian.
"Well, although the other party has not come back, we have to set off too." One of them smiled.
Anyway, the next reincarnation will take at least two months. As long as he does not leave the island and completes his duties, Gu Zheng will not ask him what he is going to do. The most likely place is near the middle stone hall, which is full of spiritual energy and good for cultivation and conditioning.
"Xiaoying, we are leaving. If you don't leave, I will leave first!" Gu Zheng shouted to the back, but no one moved behind.
Gu Zheng shrugged his shoulders, and the next moment he was in the air, flying towards the far side of the sky.
As expected, at the same time when Gu Zheng was flying away, a stream of light rushed out of the house and flew directly in front of Gu Zheng.
"I want to see what I want to do. I'm bored at home anyway." Xiaoying said seriously, almost making Gu Zheng laugh.
After a while, Gu Zheng had already arrived at Pan Xuan's island. Before he got close to here, more than a dozen divine senses swept over and quickly retreated.
Pan Xuan's island was completely different from Gu Zheng's. The entire island was flat, like a grassland, with no hidden places.
However, Gu Zheng saw at a glance that in that somewhat domineering room, a tall three-story independent villa room, the outside was dyed bright red, really afraid that it was not conspicuous enough.
No need to look, this must be Pan Xuan's approach. For the Blue Medicine Gate, as long as they don't destroy the most basic formation, they will toss with them. After all, everyone has different ideas, and the Blue Medicine Gate will of course choose to satisfy them as much as possible.
When Gu Zheng and Xiaoying landed, Pan Xuan had already waved away the people around him, and had set up seats on a grassy area outside, waiting for their arrival.
"This place is really nice. It's not like my place, which is full of hills. There are too many places to set up defenses. It's really a headache." Gu Zheng sat down without hesitation after coming down, took a sip of hot tea, and felt the sea breeze. Then he said comfortably.
"I am not prepared here. There are no natural barriers. The other party can come back from all directions. The scope of the alert is even larger. Didn't you see that people were sent to the edge?" Pan Xuan ignored Gu Zheng's complaints, but complained herself.
"I thought you were going to say that you are not afraid of any difficulties." Hearing the other party speak, Gu Zheng looked at her strangely, but then he noticed the bracelet on her wrist and smiled.
"Maybe, maybe I said that before, and now I don't feel that I have the energy to face difficulties." Pan Xuan didn't care at all, handed Xiaoying a blood-red gem, and then continued.
"I thought you would stay on that island. What's wrong? Otherwise, why would you come to me so miserable?"
"If there's nothing wrong, why can't I find you? At least I want to see if you are used to it here." Gu Zheng gave a lame excuse, but saw Pan Xuan's expression of disbelief. Even Xiaoying next to him rolled her eyes. Obviously, she didn't believe it either.
"Well, this time I have something very important to say. It's absolutely very important." Gu Zheng's face condensed, and then he said seriously.
"Then you can talk about it later." Pan Xuan looked at Gu Zheng's serious expression, and understood that the other party must have something very important to say. He stretched out his hand and flicked it. A red blood cover instantly covered them.
"Now I can say that no one can find out what I said." Pan Xuan said with interest.
"I have some accurate information. This time the other party is coming fiercely. I'm afraid that we can't stop the other party. Even with the current strength, I'm afraid you will lose too much. After all, these are your subordinates." Gu Zheng said seriously.
"Are you caring about me?" Pan Xuan said suddenly.
"No, well, it's kind of true. After all, you helped me before, and I don't want you to suffer too much loss. The people of Lan Yaomen are ready to leave here. What they said about fighting to the death here and there will be no more trouble in the future is just a lie to buy time for them to leave." Gu Zheng looked at Pan Xuan's serious expression and changed his words after speaking.
During this year, although Gu Zheng did not go out, he also knew some things outside through those who came to the island, and someone regularly notified them of some things.
"What information do you have? Is it reliable? You should know that the other party is through the favor of the ancestor, otherwise why would we intervene in such a trivial matter? This matter cannot be sloppy." Pan Xuan also stood up and said.
"Very reliable, because of some unexpected reasons, I saw the other party's outpost, and the other party was my former registered disciple, and the leader of the team at this time is his father, a powerful person." Gu Zheng simply said some of the selections so that the other party could understand.
"How many races to unite? What wealth do they hide under the Holy Ruins?" Pan Xuan fell into deep thought after hearing this. Since Gu Zheng said this, it was obvious that he must have the exact information.
"No wonder my people found that the other side's people were getting fewer and fewer, and the number of people invited from outside was increasing. Could it be that there were too many casualties here, and we were not afraid that the ancestor would come to our door to ask for punishment?" Pan Xuan said thoughtfully.
"Why would the other side be afraid? Even if your ancestor knew, would he really come out? Besides, the sea clan would probably show mercy to your people. If the loss was less, then everything would be fine." Gu Zheng said meaningfully.
"That's true! The ancestor said a long time ago that he would never interfere in everything unless it was something very important." Pan Xuan was shocked, but he still said what was in his heart when facing Gu Zheng.
"But we have promised the other side to help them defend here." After hesitating for a while, Pan Xuan still spoke.
If it was really as Gu Zheng said, then all of them were used, and they were just used to block the other side's pawns, so they bribed everyone with a lot of money and told everyone that this side would definitely win to strengthen everyone's confidence.
"Are you not feeling well? What if something happens to you? You saved me once, and I don't want you to die here." Gu Zheng said with some regret.
"Haha, since you said that, I can help you deal with the Blue Medicine Sect. Anyway, the other party is unkind first." Pan Xuan showed a charming smile on her face, and she didn't doubt that Gu Zheng had deceived her at all.
If by any chance, Gu Zheng was bribed by the other party and deliberately misled her, then it would be digging his own grave, but Pan Xuan believed in Gu Zheng, for no reason, even this task was changed, without considering the consequences of violating it in the future.
"It's good to know, it's for your consideration. You should know that these people are your subordinates. If you lose your strength, it will be much smaller. I'm afraid it will bring you a lot of harm."
Facing this woman who once loved him, Gu Zheng was also very troubled. Although everything had been said, the other party's efforts made Gu Zheng unable to bear it.
If it were someone else, Gu Zheng would just leave here, no matter how big the flood was.
Gu Zheng knew that he was a little good to his friends, but he just couldn't change it.
"Okay, I got it. I can give orders to those subordinates gathered on the middle island to resist passively, but how can they be identified? At that time, the other party will be bloodthirsty and will not recognize relatives." Pan Xuan thought of this most critical question.
"For this question, when I leave here, I will go to the other party to ask, and then I will come and give you the answer." Gu Zheng understood the other party's concerns. In order to prevent the news from being leaked, the other party will definitely only issue this news at the last minute, even if the Blue Medicine Gate knows it, it will be too late.
"Well, I know, why don't you sit for a while?" Pan Xuan looked at Gu Zheng who had stood up over there, and said subconsciously.
"They won't give the Blue Medicine Gate a chance, so once they are ready, they will seize the time to attack. I found that the other party was almost ready before, so let's act quickly." Gu Zheng stood up and said.
The other party even prepared the ambush under the first wave, and it seems that they are almost ready.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here, you have to be careful!" Pan Xuan tore off the blood cover outside and couldn't help saying.
Gu Zheng did not speak, but Pan Xuan nodded, and then took Xiaoying to fly towards his island.
He did not hide his figure at all, after all, he and Pan Xuan came here together, and it was normal to meet.
"Young Master, why do we have to help the sea tribe on the opposite side of the North Sea? Aren't most of the Blue Medicine Sect your kind?" Xiaoying couldn't help asking halfway.
She was really strange. Theoretically, humans should help the Blue Medicine Sect.
"You can't say that. You must know that the prehistoric world is not just a splash in front of you. On the road of cultivation, you face a lot of tests, and you can fall if you are not careful. If the Blue Medicine Sect on the other side has no major problems, I will take action for the sake of humans, but I will definitely not put myself in it. But the other party has already cut off their own destiny, and this is their own fault." Gu Zheng looked at Xiaoying with a curious face, and then slowly spoke.
He knew that his words would definitely affect her. In fact, his behavior had already affected her unconsciously. As the saying goes, "If you are close to a red man, he will be red. If you are close to a black man, he will be black." Gu Zheng instilled some truths into Xiaoying bit by bit, because he didn't want her to go astray in the future.
After all, the other party is a soul body, even if it is special, it is still attracted to darkness. Therefore, Gu Zheng was very careful about his words on some things along the way.
"And the more critical point is, who do you think will be close to me between Lan Yaomen and my registered disciples over there?" Gu Zheng also raised a question.
"Of course, there is no relationship between Lan Yaomen and us here. If it weren't for that woman, we wouldn't come here." Xiaoying blurted out immediately after hearing Gu Zheng's question.
"You know, so when faced with a choice, you will naturally choose your own people, or people who are close to you." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"But in the face of right and wrong, sometimes you can even give up your own life and not let the other party succeed, even if the other party is someone you know."
"Right and wrong? Is that the same as this?" Xiaoying blinked her big eyes and asked again.
"Of course it's different. I hope I'll never encounter it. For example, if you have a good friend who wants to kill your grandfather, no matter how good he is, you can't give way, let alone give way, right?" Gu Zheng thought for a while and said again.
"That's right, even if I die, I can't let my grandfather sacrifice." Xiaoying said excitedly, even raising her little fist.
No matter how dim her expression was in the blink of an eye, because she knew her grandfather was no longer there.
"Is it that grandpa also chose to sacrifice himself voluntarily in the face of right and wrong at that time?" Xiaoying said a little depressed.
"Your grandfather's situation is a little special, but it's almost the same. It's all for the deepest protection in his heart. He made the choice voluntarily, even if no one knows, even if no one will remember." Gu Zheng said a little seriously.
"I know that my grandfather sacrificed himself for the black dragon. He told me that he didn't regret it at all." Xiaoying said in a daze, and now she understood a little.
"So, I don't want to face this moment at all, because no matter what choice I make, I have to face it and can't escape it at all." Gu Zheng sighed.
Then, neither of them spoke, and soon returned to the island again, but did not return directly to their residence, but came to the outside of the middle stone hall.
"What's the matter, Elder Gu?" Elder Qi came out and asked after feeling Gu Zheng's breath.
"It's like this. I suddenly felt something and need to retreat. Elder Qi needs to take care of the things on this island." Gu Zheng said to Elder Qi with an embarrassed look.
"No problem, congratulations Elder Gu. If your strength breaks through, you will definitely be a great force." How could Elder Qi refuse? He immediately congratulated Gu Zheng.
"Not necessarily, but to prevent accidents, please take this thing. In case I haven't come out when the other party comes, just wake me up. The safety of the island is the most important." Gu Zheng was modest and took out a golden crystal core from his hand and handed it over.
"Okay, then I will help you take care of some things, and you can go to retreat with peace of mind." Elder Qi did not refuse. He also thought of Gu Zheng's thoroughness and had no reason to refuse.
After Gu Zheng said goodbye, he went directly back to his room, set up thick barriers, and began his "retreat".
