Chapter 2023

The female Golden Immortal looked at Gu Zheng's approaching figure, her eyes were originally helpless, and now they were full of despair. She didn't expect that she would fail in the end and expose herself.

That Li Li didn't want to protect herself, but wanted to protect the things behind her.

Gu Zheng moved his hand slightly, and several golden rays of light penetrated into her body from the void, taking over the other party's actions.

Li Li's sudden death just now was beyond his expectations. Under his control, she actually committed suicide by unknown means. In order to prevent the only guy who knew the inside story from dying, now the other party is out of her control except for her mouth.

This female Golden Immortal's cultivation can be said to be the lowest here, and she looks the worst. It feels like she was forcibly promoted. He even suspected that Li Li's actions just now were deliberately exposing herself to conceal this woman.

You know, if the other party had not been exposed by his words in the end, he would not have considered asking him. The simple conversation just now has cleared the other party's suspicion. It seems that he is also very smart and knows how to use some things to clear himself. Maybe this is a disguise. He will not be careless.

And Gu Zheng also noticed at this time that as he approached, there was even a trace of anxiety in the eyes of others. If it were not for the cultivation of all of them, they would have been carefully removed from the seal by him first, and they might have fought to their death directly. This made him feel confident.

"What's your name?" Gu Zheng looked at the other party and laughed.

The other party wanted to close his eyes, but found that he couldn't even do this. He could only close his mouth tightly. He was also extremely regretful in his heart. Why couldn't he help it just now?

"I won't be soft-hearted. If you want to experience the torture just now, I can let you experience it carefully." Gu Zheng smiled even more brilliantly, but his tone made the people in front of him tremble.

"My name is Tang Qing, don't kill me!"

When Tang Qing heard Gu Zheng's threat and thought of Li Li's scream just now, she trembled all over as if she saw the torture she was suffering, and even soul-searching. Finally, she couldn't help shouting out, and there was a hint of crying in her mouth

"Miss Tang, you answer whatever I ask. If you hide anything, don't blame me for being rude unless you have another way to do the same as Li Li."

Gu Zheng looked at the other party carefully and was sure that the other party was not pretending at this time, but was really incompetent. She was simply a flower that had just come out of the greenhouse, extremely delicate, and could not withstand any wind and rain.

Not only that, he also raised a golden barrier around him again, completely isolating other people from being disturbed.

"Okay, as long as you don't torture me, it's okay to give me a quick death." Tang Qing, who couldn't see her companion, was a little calmer.

"Relax, in essence, you are just an accomplice, and you haven't reached the level of indignation of both humans and gods. Maybe I can spare your life." Gu Zheng stared at her eyes and said relaxedly to relieve the other party's tension.

"I don't know much about what you want to know, but I will never lie." Tang Qing said to Gu Zheng without moving her eyes.

"Very good, let's start the question-answering session." Gu Zheng did not release the other party's restriction and began to throw out his questions one by one.

Not long after, Gu Zheng found everything he wanted from Tang Qing, or everything the other party knew.

She shouldn't have been here, but the person who replaced her had some accidents, so the higher-ups let her stay here for the first time. Anyway, it's safe here, and there are many people around.

Her identity is the daughter of a general under the Demon God. Those people are here to protect her, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people crowded in this small city.

Li Li is the person in charge here. Originally, there would be only one person to cooperate with her, but Tang Qing's appearance forced him to cooperate with the other party. There has been no problem until Gu Zheng and the others arrived.

As for why she knew the Demon God, she still knew some things from her father's occasional mention.

As for his father, he was the general manager of another place, responsible for collecting the mortal mana confiscated by these people. It seemed that this method was necessary to sacrifice a strange treasure, and they had been taking various measures to avoid attracting attention.

The demand for that treasure was very small, and it was enough to collect it in a few places, so they were so low-key. In order to prevent the other party from suspecting, they really forced some celestial beings to give back to them. Anyway, those strengths were very weak, and the mental methods they learned were not enough for them to advance, and they would not reveal it to others.

As for the demon behind the other party, she knew nothing except the other party's name.

"It's really a headache. I didn't expect that the demon that ordinary people can't meet can make me carefully follow it. But how many are there outside? It shouldn't be many."

Gu Zheng thought helplessly in his heart, but he thought of the person he met in the Phoenix Secret Realm. He didn't know if it was because of the other party's dying curse that made him and the other party meet.

The only thing that reassured him was that the other party's cultivation level was definitely not that of a quasi-saint. This was what he had learned from Elder Jin in private, because they had already damaged their origins and had no chance of being promoted, otherwise the ancestor would not dare to accept them.

As long as this was the case, he was not afraid.

In the end, Gu Zheng forced Tang Qing to take them to where their father was. She was unwilling but there was nothing she could do. She could not get the blessing, as long as Gu Zheng searched her soul, he would know it at a glance.

After removing the outer shield, Gu Zheng walked out easily. Although there were some twists and turns, he finally solved some problems. He would definitely go back to report to the place where the old man escaped.

As for the others, Gu Zheng also knew some of their deeds at this time. Compared with Tang Qing who grew up in a greenhouse, they were full of sins. Naturally, they fell into his hands. How could he bypass them? However, he was ready to hand them over to those people at that time to let them know that evil will be punished.

Tang Qing lowered her head and followed her. She didn't dare to look at other people because she betrayed everyone. The only thing that made her feel at ease was that Gu Zheng promised him that he would bypass his father once. She also knew that the demon god was evil, but she had no way to do it. She could only take the opportunity to come out.

Gu Zheng was based on Tang Qing's guess. Because of his special talents, the other party should be controlled. How could he use such a cruel method when he had never committed any murderous thoughts before? However, everything will be seen at that time. People are always fickle. As for Tang Qing herself, at least she can guarantee that she has not done anything that hurts the world.

He did not blame the other party for not asking for support or warning others. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, even if this place was exposed, they could still hide in other places and use other methods to disguise themselves.

Tang Qing knew dozens of disguise methods, because the people they needed were too small, and the number was small, so it was difficult to attract other people's attention.

"No need to watch here, give me a quiet room, I will wait for them to come back here, if it is not necessary, don't disturb me." After Gu Zheng went out, he said directly to Bao Xu outside.

"No problem, Luan'er, you and Gu Xianren go down and find a quiet place." Bao Xu nodded respectfully.

As for the others, they wanted to talk to Gu Zheng eagerly, but Gu Zheng didn't even look at them and left directly, leaving only the yard covered by golden light.

No one could go in, and no one could come out.

"Everyone, let's disperse first. Everyone will come back in two days." After Gu Zheng left here, Bao Xu said to everyone.

"Master Bao, why don't we invite the ancient immortal tonight? We can also show our hospitality and express our gratitude." A family head said.

"The other party is an immortal. Would he care about our things? Didn't he just say that if there is nothing wrong, don't bother him. If you want to go alone first, I don't mind leading the way for you, but don't look for me for the consequences." Bao Xu glanced at everyone and said coldly.

How could he not know the other party's little thoughts? At this time, he would not act as a leader and test them for them.

"No way, since the ancient immortal has ordered, we will not bother him." The family head hurriedly said flatteringly, retreated and said nothing.

If it were normal, he would not do this, but at this time and place, there was Gu Zheng who caught all the offerings, making them subconsciously respect Bao Xu. If the other party said bad things about them behind their backs, none of them could withstand Gu Zheng's anger, and they might not even have a chance to explain.

Even if someone helped them to avenge, the other party would have already fled far away.

"Since you have nothing to do, I will not accompany you any more. I still need to prepare to take back my own children, so as not to be too late to prepare." Bao Xu left a word and left with his wife.

Everyone looked at each other. They originally wanted to discuss with each other how to deal with those offerings, but the other party did not give them this opportunity at all.

"Forget it, go back. At least we can't let our own people down." The head of the Hei family waved his hand and left with his men.

The others had to leave with him. In a blink of an eye, except for the two servants watching, the place returned to its previous quietness.

In a blink of an eye, two days passed in a flash.

After asking Tang Qing for all the news in the house, Gu Zheng, who was resting, suddenly moved his ears and opened his eyes directly.

"It's faster than I expected."

He had sensed that Meng Zhen and others outside were about to come here.

"You follow me."

Gu Zheng said to Tang Qing, who was staying aside honestly, and then strode away from here and walked towards the gate of the South City.

After he left Bao's residence, Bao Xu got the news. He hurriedly took Bao Luan and the things he had prepared and followed Gu Zheng. He knew that if he could let the other party leave, it could only mean that his companions had returned, and it also meant that the clansmen of each family had returned together.

When Gu Zheng arrived at the door, the others also got the news and rushed here with their men and horses.

"Finally, we are almost there."

Ye Qiu looked at the tall city wall in the distance. Although the city wall only had a pile of stones and no defensive formations, the defense was not high, but behind it was his home for more than ten years. Even now he couldn't believe that he was really back.

"Yeah, I don't know how my cousin is doing. Don't disbelieve it." Ming Yan said worriedly on the side.

"It's impossible. With that immortal here, the other party will definitely believe it, and the traitor inside will definitely not escape." Ye Qiu said confidently.

Everyone was exhausted along the way, but everyone was still energetic. With the replenishing pills, they only needed to stop and drink a sip of water. They would not be tired at all along the way, as if they had endless energy in their bodies, which also greatly accelerated their speed.

Most of them accepted the fact that they were saved, and they all raised their heads and looked at the city where they once lived, as if everything they had experienced before was an illusion. It was just a pity that their cultivation talents were also abandoned. I am afraid that most of them will not be taken seriously after returning, but they are also glad in their hearts, which is better than dying there.

"Oh my God, we are finally here, let's take these lunatics away quickly."

Mao Bi's eyes were also filled with tears at this time, if he had eyes.

Because those people who lost themselves were under his care, and he could tie them up, he could only persuade them with kind words, coercion and inducement to keep them from running around, which almost broke him down along the way.

It's not anyone else's fault. Who asked him to swear to hand it over to him? Fortunately, Meng Zhen was there to help, otherwise he would really break down.

Soon they approached Yancheng, looking at the dark crowd outside, a single man stood there in the front, and no one dared to cross.

As they got closer, many people here had seen their families and began to get excited. They had been able to calm down before coming out of that dark place with no future, but they couldn't help themselves when they saw their relatives.

"Give orders to let them do whatever they want." Yan Yufei pulled open the curtains and ordered the brush outside.

Soon, there was a commotion here. When there was still some distance, someone finally couldn't help but run straight to the front. Someone took the lead, and the others followed behind. The orderly formation became scattered, and only the carriage in the middle was still moving forward leisurely and slowly.

When those people went back, some crying and grievances suddenly broke out. Once upon a time, they were considered the pride of heaven here and had suffered such hardships.

"Father!"

When Mingyan saw his father looking at him worriedly, he finally couldn't help jogging over, threw himself into his arms, and cried.

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay!" His father hugged Mingyan with tears in his eyes and kept saying.

As for Ye Qiu, he was much more stable. From his shaking body, one could see his excitement. He tried to restrain himself, but his eyes carefully looked away from his family.

"It's great that they are all back." Bao Luan, who was next to him, looked around and was very happy.

"It seems that we have successfully found the other party."

The carriage slowly stopped in front of Gu Zheng, and then Meng Zhen jumped out of it and glanced at Tang Qing behind him and said.

"Yes, everything is under control, but the background of this matter is a bit scary, you can never guess it." Gu Zheng said mysteriously.

"Could the other party have a background demon?" Meng Zhen thought for a while and said, before Gu Zheng spoke, he rejected his guess.

"No, since it is unimaginable, it must not be an ordinary person. Let me think about it carefully."

"It can't be a demon god, could it be that the other party has come back to life." Meng Zhen's face soon became surprised and asked.

"You guessed right, but it's not the dead demon god, but another one." Gu Zheng shrugged and said. From what Mulang said, he knew that there were other demon gods out there.

"No way, the one who almost killed us before, we have to fight him this time!" Meng Zhen said with a headache.

"Don't be discouraged, we won't deal with him this time. Let's go find the old man who escaped. The other party is likely to hide over there. There is a secret place of the other party there. We just need to destroy it and leave immediately without fighting with the other party." Gu Zheng looked at Meng Zhen's appearance and laughed dumbly.

"Scare me, that demon god is very strange, his strength is weak and declining, relying on the opponent's weakness, plus our help to kill the other party. Who knows how powerful he is this time, let's not deal with him." Meng Zhen relaxed.

"It doesn't matter, if we meet him next time, I will go first, beat him half to death, and then let you." The brush floated over from the side and said shamelessly.

"Okay, then we will go directly to find the demon god, and leave it to you." Meng Zhen smiled and said to him.

"Well, we only solved one last time. Don't be so anxious. Let's wait for two years. I'll see how Lady Yufei is doing. I won't bother you anymore." Maobi left a word and followed carefully.

"Haha, I really don't know how the other party's character is formed." Gu Zheng had no way to deal with Maobi. Although the other party was a big talker, he could still do something. His essence was really not bad.

"Gu Xianren, thank you for your help, otherwise we would have been deceived all the time."

Several strong people from Yancheng came over, led by Bao Xu. Even the head of the Hei family was a little behind, because Bao Xu and Gu Zheng knew each other the earliest.

"Everyone is very grateful to you. Why don't we go into the city and express our feelings?" This time, the head of the Hei family said sincerely.

Before, I just saw the picture. Although I was angry, that was all. At this moment, after feeling the suffering of my own people, I naturally felt the same.

"Forget it, we have other things to do. This time we just happened to pass by. I hope you will be more vigilant next time. Mutual trust is the foundation." Gu Zheng turned around and smiled at them.

"We will never make the same mistake again, and we will never be like before." The head of the Hei family said quickly.

"This pill is for the one in your family. Although I didn't use too much, the other party will have to raise him for at least ten years. This pill is my compensation." Gu Zheng thought for a while and took out a very ordinary pill and handed it over.

His words would make them close for a few days, and sooner or later they would separate because of interests, but he couldn't care so far.

"Thank you, thank you." The head of the Hei family didn't expect this, and hurriedly took it and said gratefully.

"Okay, see you later."

Gu Zheng said goodbye to them, then turned around and entered the carriage. The white horse also turned around and prepared to leave here.

"Tang Qing, what are you still doing there? Drive the carriage quickly." Gu Zheng's voice floated out from inside, which made Tang Qing, who was still stunned outside, startled and sat in front of the carriage in one step.

So far, they finally have a formalistic coachman.

"Thank you, Immortal Gu, goodbye!"

Ming Yan saw the situation over there and immediately waved her hand and shouted over here.

Ma Luan, Ye Qiu, and other people who were rescued all waved their hands to express their gratitude to Gu Zheng. Even the few people who had lost themselves seemed to realize something and also waved their hands while shouting "Ahh", as if they were also thanking Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng could vaguely hear the voices behind him, and a smile appeared on his face.

The carriage soon soared into the sky not far ahead and slowly disappeared into the horizon.
