Chapter 496: Pointing You to a Place
"Sir, it's up to you next!"
Lucen said respectfully to the Dark Lord, who nodded gently and took out his staff.
This is a dark magician. There are the most magicians among the dark practitioners, and the most magicians among the Lords. The Lord holding the magic staff kept chanting spells, and streams of energy appeared on his magic staff.
"Restore!"
The Dark Lord suddenly shouted, and a round mirror-like thing immediately appeared in front of him, showing the scene in front of them.
The scene turned quickly, and soon Jack and the other two appeared in the mirror screen, but they entered the screen backwards, and they were carrying the bodies of the Gibb brothers.
Soon they put the bodies down and searched in the hall.
Gu Zheng's heart moved slightly. This magic could actually show what happened here before. No wonder the Lord Magician called out "Restore".
Although the Western cultivation system is different from the Eastern one, it also has its merits.
After the picture appeared, the dark practitioners understood that Jack and the other two were not lying. The Gibb brothers were indeed killed here, and they took advantage of it and took the bodies away to claim the reward.
The picture was like a fast-forward shot, and the three disappeared again, leaving only the bodies of the Gibb brothers lying there.
All the black Nan practitioners stared at the mirror screen closely. They all understood that the murderer who killed the Gibb brothers would soon show up, and they would know the truth about the Gibb brothers' death.
"Snap!"
The mirror suddenly broke, and the dark master groaned, retreated continuously, and finally sat on the ground.
"My Lord, what happened to you?"
Lucen hurried forward and supported the fallen Dark Lord. The Dark Lord smiled bitterly and shook his head gently: "I'm fine, it's just the magic backlash!"
"Magic backlash?"
Many dark practitioners looked at each other in bewilderment, especially magicians. Magic backlash is an extremely terrible thing. At the least, it will cause injuries, and at the worst, it will be irreparable. It's like the Chinese practitioners' obsession, but it's lighter than obsession. Moreover, Western magicians generally don't have magic backlash. It's only possible when they practice magic that they haven't mastered.
"I can't use magic in the short term. Let's leave first!"
The Dark Lord was also very depressed. He didn't understand why the magic backlash suddenly occurred. It was very unscientific and unreasonable, but the magic backlash had already appeared, and he had no choice but to leave first.
However, the consequences of the magic backlash were not serious this time. He was only injured and temporarily unable to use magic. His body was fine. This was a blessing in disguise.
"Sir, what should we do with these three people?"
Lucen asked the Dark Lord again. Although this Dark Lord suffered from the backlash of magic, he was at the level of a Lord after all, and he was also the one with the highest status among the crowd.
"Kill them!"
The Dark Lord raised his hand, and Jack and the other two trembled slightly. Although they had long anticipated this consequence, they were still a little scared when they heard this.
This is also a normal reaction of a person. In fact, as bounty hunters, they had long known that there might be such a day, and they had been mentally prepared, but they did not expect that it would still be so difficult to accept when this day came.
"Forget it, you are lucky!"
Gu Zheng said to himself. He didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Qingzhong was actually related to him, so he had to think more.
What's more, three dark practitioners had died on his side, which meant that he had a grudge against the Dark Association. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Saving the three people can at least learn more about the situation in the Western cultivation world.
Gu Zheng hid his appearance and flew quickly into the cave.
"Who!"
This time Gu Zheng did not hide himself. He was discovered by the Dark Lord as soon as he arrived at the cave entrance. The Dark Lord just shouted, and the dark practitioner who was guarding Jack and the other two felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the three people in front of him had disappeared.
"My Lord!"
Lucen hurried forward. The Dark Lord's face was also very ugly, and he was still afraid. He didn't even see the opponent's movements clearly. It can be imagined that the opponent's strength is definitely not weaker than him, and may even be stronger than him.
If it were normal, it would be fine, but he just encountered a backlash of magic, and his strength could not be exerted to 30% of the usual. If the opponent really attacked them, then they would definitely be in danger. Don't look at their large number. Those ordinary dark practitioners will only be sent food and will not bring any threat to the opponent at all.
"I don't know who it is, leave now!"
The Dark Lord said gloomily, and the group left quickly. They left and were somewhat fortunate that the master who had just appeared inexplicably did not attack them, otherwise these people would die here like the Gibb brothers.
Jack and the other two felt a flash before their eyes. When they opened their eyes, they found that they were in the air and a man was flying with them.
Those who could fly must be at least the strong ones of the Angel of Light. As for the Dark Lord, they didn't even think about it. The Dark Lord would not save them, and they were no longer valuable.
Not long after, Gu Zheng landed on the ground and put the three people down. Gu Zheng still had an oriental face at this time, but his appearance had changed.
"Thank you very much for saving my life!"
After landing, the ropes on the three people were loosened. Jack stood up hurriedly and saluted Gu Zheng to thank him.
"You're welcome. You and I are destined to be together. Do you know who I am?"
Gu Zheng looked at Jack and the others and spoke slowly. His transformed appearance looked a bit like Ouyang Hai, but he was much younger than Ouyang Hai.
Seeing the three Jacks shaking their heads together, Gu Zheng showed a smile on his face and continued: "You took away the people I killed and brought them to this place. Don't you know who I am?"
When Gu Zheng said this, the three of them were startled, and then nodded sharply.
It turned out that this oriental man was one of the three people that day. Jack and the other three were too far away that day, and they only saw three figures going out, without seeing the person clearly at all. When Gu Zheng said this, they naturally assumed that Gu Zheng was the one. One of those three masters.
Gu Zheng was indeed one of the three people at the time, but at that time, he had no ability to kill the Gibb brothers, but he was right to say so.
"I have lived in seclusion here all year round and have never asked about things outside. Let me tell you what is happening outside now, especially the situation between your light forces and dark forces!"
Gu Zheng said calmly, and the three of them had no doubts when they heard what he said. Although Gu Zheng was from the East, they knew that there were practitioners in the East, and there were also very powerful practitioners.
In the East, such practitioners are called immortal cultivators. Like their angels of light, they have long lives and the power to fly into the sky and escape from the earth.
"Yes, sir!"
Jack nodded immediately, looking very respectful. For him, at least his life was saved now, and only by saving his life could everything be possible.
Jack spoke slowly, and the two young men next to him added something from time to time, which gave Gu Zheng a deeper understanding of the two major forces in Europe, and was not limited to the previous ones.
The two major forces also existed in the Golden Age, which was equivalent to China's mythical age. Both sides had many outstanding talents. Of course, they also fought a lot. China fought equally many good and evil forces.
During the Dharma Ending Period, cultivation became more difficult, and the two forces of light and darkness fought less. However, the battles never stopped, but there were very few real wars. Only a thousand years ago, a war broke out, and it lasted a long time. Long, more than two hundred years.
This war ended with the defeat of the dark forces, but the light forces were also severely damaged and unable to fight anymore, and have been cultivating to this day.
This is exactly what Brown said. It seems that Brown did not deceive him.
"Do you know where the headquarters of the dark forces were and are now?"
Gu Zheng suddenly asked, while Jack and the other three stared at Gu Zheng with their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Sir, I don't know, but the former headquarters of the dark forces seems to be in an old castle near London. That castle is now owned by ordinary people!"
After Jack finished speaking, he hurriedly said: "Sir, there are too many strong men at the headquarters of the Dark Association, and there are many top-notch magic weapons. You can't go there, it's too dangerous!"
This time it was Gu Zheng's turn to be stunned for a moment, then smiled.
The reason why he asked about the past and present headquarters of the Dark Association was because he did not want Jack to think that he was only inquiring about the past and asked where the current headquarters was by the way. However, he had no intention of knowing the headquarters of the regional Dark Association. It was purely Jack's misunderstanding.
However, Gu Zheng did not explain. He only knew that what Brown said was correct.
After the war between the Dark Association and the light forces, both sides are cultivating. There have been basically no wars in the past eight hundred years, but there must be small frictions. There are also battles between angels and masters, including those with the strength of cultivators, but there are few angels or The Overlord has fallen, because there are not many angels and Overlords left on both sides now.
It is precisely because of this that the Dark Association paid so much attention after the death of the Gibb brothers. There have been people investigating. Not only the Dark Association, but also the Holy See of Light also sent people. However, the three Jack brothers escaped so quickly that they did not find them, and then nothing happened. .
The current situation is that there are constant small frictions between the two sides, especially the cultivators at the bottom, who are killing a lot, but the higher-ups are very restrained, and the two sides have no preparations or ideas for a war for the time being.
"I understand, go ahead and don't come to this place again!"
Knowing what he wanted to know, Gu Zheng waved his hands to them. From the three of them, he had determined a few points. The first and most important point was that Brown did not deceive him. The castle he was given was indeed the dark one. The headquarters of the association does have a big secret there.
The second is that although the Western cultivation world has had wars before, it has been cultivating for the past thousand years and its overall strength is not weak. If you can avoid provoking them, try not to go there.
With these two points of understanding, he can also make better plans for the future.
Gu Zheng will definitely investigate the secrets of the old castle. It is not in line with his character not to investigate. But not now, but he will investigate after being fully prepared. After all, the two major forces are watching from the side, and if there is any movement, it will be inevitable. It will alarm them.
The magic circle, foreigners, it is difficult to say that there is no movement.
However, this time Gu Zheng did not plan to ask Ouyang Hai and others to come together. After all, this is the territory of Western cultivators. Even if Gu Zheng cannot defeat Gu Zheng, there is still no problem in running away or hiding in the ancient space. Ouyang Hai and others are not good at it, so they will not let them. They came for an adventure.
"My lord, can we follow you?"
Jack hesitated, looked at the two people around him, and suddenly said something to Gu Zheng.
"Follow me?"
Gu Zheng looked at him in surprise. Jack's request was completely beyond Gu Zheng's expectation.
"Yes, sir, we can become your servants and serve you!"
Jack said quickly that being a servant of the Angel of Light was not a shame, but a pride. Although Gu Zheng was not an Angel of Light, he had the same strength.
Their secluded residence was gone, and they were worried that the dark forces would find them again. Once they were caught by the dark forces, they might not have such good luck. Gu Zheng was strong, and when they were weak, hiding by Gu Zheng's side would only be beneficial to them.
"No, you can't follow me, but I can point you to a place!"
Gu Zheng suddenly shook his head. It was definitely impossible to take them with him, but the three people's proposal gave Gu Zheng a bold idea. Sending the three people into the castle, the three people appearing in the castle would inevitably break the balance there, and they could test the next reaction of the two major forces of light and darkness.
"Where do you want us to go?"
The three people were a little confused. Gu Zheng told them the address of his castle and told them that it would be absolutely safe there, and then flew away directly.
"Brother Jack, what should we do?"
After Gu Zheng flew away, the three stood there stupidly. Jack hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Do as the adults say. Since the adults have guaranteed that there is nothing wrong there, let's go first!"
The three people have no better choice now. They have exchanged a lot of cultivation resources before, and these resources were hidden in different places. But after experiencing this incident, the three did not dare to take these resources, or hide them. The three were a little scared.
They were found even if they hid so deeply. Who knows if they will be found again.
The people who are looking for them are not only the dark forces, but also the light forces. People are looking for them, and the result of being found by these people is not much better. These people are all coming for their cultivation resources. I am afraid that they will be squeezed dry at that time, and then they will die.
Any force is not balanced internally, just like China, the righteous sects have disputes and fights, which is normal.
Gu Zheng was talking about an ancient castle. The three of them couldn't fly, so they quickly went down the mountain, found a car, and drove to the place Gu Zheng mentioned. Gu Zheng had already arrived in London and continued his travels.
Gu Zheng had eaten a lot of London food during this period, and Gu Zheng also wrote two manuscripts, which he had sent to Mumu. Mumu would arrange a time to publish them.
Gu Zheng's manuscripts were definitely headlines. If the two manuscripts were well managed, they would bring a lot of traffic. Both Mumu and Mr. Wu believed in this very much. After all, Gu Zheng's status in the Chinese food industry was there, and it had not decreased in the past three years.
