Chapter 1842

"Guancheng is ahead, we're finally here!"

There was a team of not too big or too small, but someone far away made a sound of surprise.

Guancheng is the largest city in this gathering place. The difference is that there is no so-called city wall here. It is completely open and can be entered from any direction.

Looking from the outside, you can see scattered houses. Under the silver light, they look lifeless and without any vitality.

But it's just the outer city. There is a huge lonely peak in the distance, and there is a miniature city below. However, no one can enter except for certain members. Most of the members who manage everyone and demons are inside.

Of course, this is not just one city, there are three cities nearby, all with the lonely peak as the center and surrounding it. Except for a slight gap in the middle, it can be said to be a complete city.

So everyone collectively calls this place Guancheng.

After more than ten days of non-stop driving, they finally arrived near Guancheng after crossing a long distance.

Until this time, everyone took a rest where they were.

"Master Gu, we will separate after a while. Our area is in another place, relatively close to the back."

Here, Chen Lai and Youyou had come closer and said to Gu Zheng.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu!" Youyou also blushed and made a blessing gift to Gu Zheng.

"Haha, you also helped me, and everyone is even. You should pay more attention in the future." Gu Zheng said with a smile.

It seems that the mineral vein can still be used for a long time, and if the other party puts it behind the mysterious thing, it can still improve its quality.

"No one thought that I have already reported the matter, and I think more people will be sent next time." Mr. Chen touched Youyou's head and said kindly.

As they were talking here, a dozen figures appeared in the distance, approaching quickly. Gu Zheng did not say the next words, and turned his head to look over there.

Because there was an aura in that figure that was no less than his.

A dozen figures fell down in unison on the periphery and spread out to stand in front of everyone.

The leader was a man with a majestic face, wearing a black close-fitting armor. He took a step forward and shouted to everyone.

"I am the manager of the outer city of Guancheng. Who among you is in charge here!"

Although his tone was to shout to everyone, his eyes were actually staring at Gu Zheng, obviously regarding him as the leader here.

"It's the person I sent out before. It's estimated that the other party has come to take over these prisoners." Mr. Chen whispered, and then walked out of the team.

"Sir, I am the person in charge of the South Mine, Chen Kai."

As Mr. Chen spoke, he walked towards the steward.

The steward waved his hand, and a light gray shrouded it. Soon, Mr. Chen repeated everything again under the other party's inquiry.

After a while, Mr. Chen came back again, and a dozen people behind the steward also stepped forward and took Jiu Gui and his group away.

Thousands of years of work await them.

However, the steward did not leave. Instead, he came forward and followed Mr. Chen until he came to Gu Zheng.

"Friend, are you new here?" The steward's tone was much warmer, like a greeting between friends.

"Yes, I fell here by chance, and then I met a group of people and escorted them back. You know what happened next." Gu Zheng nodded and gave a brief introduction.

"Since it is fate to be here, it seems that you have passed the most dangerous period, why not come to our official residence." The steward directly extended the invitation.

After all, the fewer masters there are, the more they hope.

"I'm being rude. I'll give you this badge to enter our inner city. I'll make arrangements for you and wait for your arrival." The manager glanced around and smiled before Gu Zheng could answer. He handed over a waist card. Card said.

"good."

Gu Zheng didn't waste any time and just took it and put it away.

"Then don't bother me. You helped us deal with the crisis this time. Of course we will be grateful. You will be grateful later. I will go back first."

When the steward saw Gu Zheng take it back, his smile became even brighter, and then he left directly.

When the manager left completely, Tietou and his group were the only ones left around Gu Zheng.

"Gu Zheng, you don't have a place to live here, why not go to my place. Although it's small, it's still a good place to rest." Tietou came over and said.

"That would be troublesome."

When Gu Zheng first arrived, he just had a general understanding and agreed directly.

And why he wanted to take that waist card was because he thought that if he wanted to find Pan Xuan, he might really need the power of the palace.

"It's not troublesome, not troublesome at all, but a few brothers won't go in. They have some matters and they left with Mr. Chen just now. Let me say sorry to you." Tietou waved his hand and said quickly.

"You are making a fuss over this matter. Do you think I will blackmail you into doing something? I don't need you to repay your favor. It is fate that we are together. We all have things at hand. If I can't find the person I want to find, , I won’t stay here for too long, I just hope you don’t reveal my identity.”

Gu Zheng naturally knew about the departure of those few people. Hearing Tietou's cautious words, he couldn't help being speechless, but he still said.

"Mr. Gu said it straightforwardly. Although I am a demon and have done some unspeakable things before, I still admire you from the bottom of my heart. If there is really something, please tell the person you mentioned directly. After returning, everyone will help you find out."

Hearing Gu Zheng say this, a demon behind him couldn't help but said to Gu Zheng with excitement in his heart.

Although the others didn't say anything, they were obviously very impressed.

To be honest, Gu Zheng didn't expect to use them. He just smiled and let Tietou lead the way. The group left here.

"Mr. Gu, we will leave first. We won't go in the front. We will go in other directions."

When approaching the outer city, most of the people said goodbye.

Gu Zheng didn't stop them. After a few words, there were only four people left around him.

Tietou and Yingxi, and members of the other two teams.

"Why are they all leaving? Isn't it closer to go in from the outer city?"

Walking on the road, Gu Zheng suddenly spoke.

Because they didn't leave from this direction when they took the wine cabinet away before, it seemed that they had some concerns about the outer city in front of them.

"Mr. Gu, there is no concern. It's just that this outer city in front of us is basically full of people from the palace, such as some soldiers participating in the battle, and their families. Although it looks big, it is actually deserted after all."

Yingxi and Tietou looked at each other, and finally Yingxi spoke.

"Then who are you?"

"I am the captain of the 15th squad under the First Legion, and I am a frontal combatant." Tietou said proudly.

"I am the captain of the 2nd squad under the Third Legion, and I am an auxiliary staff." Yingxi also followed.

The other two people are also from the Second Legion at the same time, but they are just ordinary soldiers, so they follow Gu Zheng, after all, their residence is in the outer city in front of them.

"Interesting, can you introduce me to them." Gu Zheng thought that because of the coming of the battle, everyone outside had to go back to avoid being injured, so he couldn't help asking with interest.

Here, there are a total of three legions. The first one belongs to the battle sequence stationed on the front line, and the second one belongs to the reserve strength, which is slightly worse than the first one. Generally, they rotate with the first one to guard the front.

The third legion has the least number of people. They are the kind that are slightly weak in frontal combat, but they have mastered special spells, which can cause damage to the enemy or bless the defense of the second party. They are usually stationed in the front.

And the place in front of them is their base camp. It can be said that most of them are here.

It is simply divided into East, West and South, and the place they want is East City, because it is on the east side of the lonely peak.

West City is said to be a city, but in fact it is mostly deserted. Most of the bandits who are entrenched there are temporary resting places. The palace has not sent anyone to manage it, allowing the other party to occupy it.

Gu Zheng knows the tricks and of course understands why.

As for South City, most of the civilians like Chen Laoyouyou also occupy most of the population and can only serve as logistics.

And North City is where other people who did not join the army live alone.

Each place is clearly divided.

The only thing that makes Gu Zheng a little strange is why those masters built such a place and worked together to fight against the demon souls just to protect themselves. It is a bit unreasonable, and there may be hidden reasons.

It's just that I know too little and can't see through it at all.

"Mr. Gu, you can rest here. I won't disturb you. I have to go back to the team. I'm afraid I have to explain these days of disappearance, which will take a lot of time. If I go out, no one will ask about it except for daily patrols."

In a spacious courtyard, Tietou said apologetically after arranging Gu Zheng.

"You go and get busy. Don't ask me." Gu Zheng nodded.

As for Yingxi and the other three, they said goodbye halfway. It seems that they also went to report first.

After Tietou left, Gu Zheng then laid a barrier, and then came out of the black tower and began to study.

Unfortunately, he only had half of the control. Gu Zheng studied for a long time, but he didn't have any clues. This thing can play other effects. It seems that it can only be used to smash people or swallow the other party.

However, Gu Zheng did not gain nothing. At least he knew a way to swallow the other party steadily. If the cooperation is good, at least he can sneak up on people.

After putting away the black tower, Gu Zheng took out the Yunhuang Sword and placed it horizontally in front of his eyes, staring at the white beads on it, and then immersed his consciousness into it.

In the jade pendant space inside, it was still the isolated island, and there was not much change from the beginning.

The only difference was that the spirit guards who were originally scattered all over the place had gathered together, standing stiffly and neatly in the open space. In front of them was Yan Yufei riding a white horse, standing in front of them, as if inspecting his army.

As soon as Gu Zheng's thoughts approached, Yan Yufei sensed something, raised her head and looked at the sky, then she nodded, and her figure disappeared from the jade pendant space.

"Empress Yufei, there have been things outside during this period, so I'm sorry for putting you in trouble."

In Gu Zheng's room, Yan Yufei's figure suddenly appeared, and Gu Zheng immediately apologized to her.

"I can vaguely feel it. Besides, it's bigger than the place where I trained before, and there are white horses and spirit guards. I feel... well, you have a familiar aura."

Yan Yufei didn't care. After all, she could be said to be disturbing Gu Zheng at this time. As she spoke, a familiar breath in the air suddenly reminded her of something. Then her face changed and she discerned the extremely gloomy breath more carefully.

I don’t know how many years have passed, and I don’t know how many people have passed by, but I still smell a different scent in that deeply hidden place.

"A familiar scent?"

Gu Zheng looked at Yan Yufei and closed his eyes, frowning and almost coming together. He didn't bother the other person with a sound, thinking in his mind how he could have the familiar smell of the other person.

It seemed that after being pulled in, he felt a little more settled and didn't come into contact with anyone.

For a moment, the room fell silent again.

After a long time, Gu Zheng saw that the other party was still thinking hard, so he took out the black tower he had just put away again, wanting to see and study the ghosts inside.

However, as soon as the black tower was in his hand, Yan Yufei had already leaned over, his eyes staring at the black tower in Gu Zheng's hand.

There was surprise and confusion, but more importantly, he was excited, which made Gu Zheng feel moved and he spoke.

"Could this thing belong to your family?"

"No, it's not his thing, but the other person must have been in contact with it and spent a lot of time together to leave that trace of aura on it, and it's almost gone."

Yan Yufei took a few steps back, took a few deep breaths, and stabilized his somewhat swaying figure. Then he looked at Gu Zheng and spoke seriously.

"I don't know. After I fell from the top, I was plotted by others. When I woke up again, I had fallen into the tower. After a lot of hard work, I conquered the black tower, but only half of it. If you want to have complete control, you need a weapon spirit, but I don’t know where the other party is. In fact, I also need to find that weapon spirit.”

Gu Zheng briefly talked about what he had encountered, without hiding anything, and even shared some of his guesses.

"Hey, you can't force it." Hearing what Gu Zheng said, Yan Yufei said a little disappointed, his eye circles slightly red, because he could know some news about the other party, and he got a little excited.

"No matter what, at least I got news about the other party. I happen to be going there too. If possible, I will help you search for it." Seeing this, Gu Zheng said comfortingly.

"That's really troublesome. I wonder why Mr. Gu called me out?" Yan Yufei put away his thoughts and asked.

"There's nothing wrong. I'm just worried that you'll be bored in there. It's safe here now, and I want you to come out and get some air. I don't know if it's appropriate for you to stay here. The territory of the demon souls here is somewhat different from that of the prehistoric times. Yes Yes, there is this thing, can you use it?”

When Gu Zheng heard the other party's question, he remembered his purpose. Finally, he took out some of the soul sand he had retained. There were at least dozens of grains in his small palm.

Although these things seem to be useful for the soul, they are actually useless. He has already tried them, and the contents inside are completely unable to be absorbed.

"It doesn't look like much here. You may not notice it until you stay for a while. As for me, I don't feel bored in there. Sometimes I meditate. When I have nothing to do, I gather the spiritual guards and train them. Although it's useless, but At least let me find something to do." Yan Yufei said while picking up a few grains of soul sand.

"Can you still command troops?"

This was very surprising to Gu Zheng. He was just joking with the other party before. Hearing the confidence in the other party's tone, he was obviously very confident.

"Of course, my husband and I were leading an army together at that time, and some people even called me the Goddess of War, but that was all a long time ago."

Speaking of the past, Yan Yufei sounded a little proud. It was obvious that his previous achievements must have been brilliant. At the same time, he picked up a grain of soul sand and swallowed it directly.

Seeing Yan Yufei swallowing the soul sand, his body was motionless, his eyes were dull, and he seemed to be fully observing the situation inside his body. Gu Zheng did not bother him with his words, but waited quietly on the side.

After half a stick of incense, Yan Yufei came back to his senses. Seeing Gu Zheng looking at him worriedly, his heart warmed and he spoke.

"The power contained in this thing is indeed different, but for me, there is an invisible barrier on it. If I want to absorb it, it will waste at least 90%, and the remaining 10%, for me, is less than 10% effective. And it’s very labor-intensive, and the gain outweighs the loss. If you practice it, it might have some effect.”

Yan Yufei said carefully. She understood what Gu Zheng meant and spent some effort to analyze it carefully from the inside out. Unfortunately, for her, it tasted like tasteless food.

"Whether this thing is good for your injury or not, I will try to get some pure soul crystals for you to try. If it is more effective, it will be better." Gu Zheng felt a little regretful and collected the remaining soul sand. Said again.

"I already understand the core of this thing. It may be useful. Of course, it is probably the same as this. It is not a purity problem. It is probably related to the environment here." Yan Yufei did not refuse, but still said.

"It doesn't cost anything to try anyway. If you have nothing to do now, why don't we go for a walk to relieve our fatigue?" Gu Zheng invited.

This was his original goal. If he was bored in that small world all day long, he might really go crazy. And if the other party's injuries were not healed, she might not be able to withstand any golden immortal.

If I leave, I definitely can't leave her outside, otherwise it will be too dangerous. While I have nothing to do now, I have to go and see if I can find any traces left by Pan Xuan.

With her intelligence, if she doesn't want others to see through her tracks, no one can catch her. He is quite confident about this.

"Well, I haven't been out for a long time. I didn't expect that the first time is in this ghost place. Is there someone else in the place of the demon soul?" After just a little thought, Yan Yufei readily agreed.

Gu Zheng and Yan Yufei left Tietou's residence one after the other. In order to prevent Yan Yufei from being seen through, she was also covered by Gu Zheng. She looked like an ordinary civilian and had no outstanding features.

Walking on the cold street, there were only two of them on the whole street, as if it was a dead city. There was no blanket on the ground, and it looked very simple.

Thinking about the route Tietou had roughly said, they walked towards the south city.
