Chapter 575
The evil spirit in the Nu Han's inner elixir was removed by Gu Zheng, and the original disaster turned into a real opportunity. With 19 inner elixirs of different magical powers in his body, the Nu Han, who could attract thunder tribulations when he was promoted, would have the potential to grow in the future. This is really unimaginable.
There was nothing to do in Wufeng Island, so Gu Zheng took Miaomiao away from Wufeng Island.
As for Lian Yuxin, Gu Zheng asked her to stay in Wufeng Island, firstly to continue her business, and secondly to protect Wufeng Island together with Nu Han.
After leaving Wufeng Island, Gu Zheng did not return to Emei directly. He took Miaomiao to Ziyan Island again.
The islanders on Ziyan Island are composed of islanders from Wufeng Island and Zhaoxia Island. After living together for such a period of time, they have become accustomed to each other. In addition, the daily life on the island is also very easy, and there is no worry about food and clothing. The islanders also live very comfortably.
After staying in Ziyan Island until the evening, Gu Zheng began to return to the sect.
On the way back to the sect, Gu Zheng was the only one left, and Miao Miao was left on Zi Yan Island.
When he first brought Miao Miao to Zi Yan Island, Miao Miao, who liked Zi Yan Island very much, built a cave for her on the island. Nowadays, the world is not peaceful. Although Zi Yan Island is a secluded island, it is hard to guarantee that it will not be targeted by the people of the Demon Sect. Leaving Miao Miao here, Gu Zheng can be more at ease.
After returning to the sect, Gu Zheng entered the Chaos Tower and handed the repair materials to Jiao Jiao.
With the Moyun Beast Bone and Xianfeng Grass, Jiao Jiao was naturally very happy, and he was finally able to carry out the final repair of the Chaos Tower at this stage.
For the next period of time, Gu Zheng stayed in the sect. In addition to helping Jiao Jiao repair the Chaos Tower every day, he spent most of his time practicing, either in the prehistoric space or in the "energy battlefield" of the Chaos Tower.
Unknowingly, there was only one and a half months left before the Zhongyuan Festival.
On this day, Gu Zheng was practicing in the Chaos Tower, and Wuyou suddenly found him and told him a piece of news.
The Demon Sect used some unknown means to destroy the protective formation of the Blood Tide Island. Without the protection of the protective formation, the Blood Tide Island was completely exposed on the sea.
This year's Zhongyuan Festival is a big day. As early as half a month ago, the righteous path sent many immortals to garrison on the Blood Tide Island to guard against the blood soul and the people of the Demon Sect. Among these immortals, there are also three supreme elders of Emei, Ouyang Hai, Jia Si and Du Wei.
With the existence of the protective formation, the righteous people have an advantage, and without the existence of the protective formation, they can't better resist the blood soul and the people of the Demon Sect. Gu Zheng has foreseen the bloody storm at that time.
Even if the blood soul cannot be prevented from entering the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone, it must be killed in the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone. This is not only Gu Zheng's wish, but also the wish of the righteous people. Because once the blood soul enters the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone and becomes the Nether Spring Blood Demon, then the world will change.
Gu Zheng originally planned to go to Xuechao Island a month in advance, but now that the island protection formation was destroyed, he decided to leave for Xuechao Island immediately, just in case.
There are many righteous people on Xuechao Island now. Although these people are so-called righteous people, it is naturally difficult to control them. Moreover, among these so-called righteous people, there are many unaffiliated cultivators, so Xuechao Island seems to be more chaotic than before.
After Gu Zheng arrived at Xuechao Island, he immediately met Ouyang Hai and Xuan Qizi, the leaders of the righteous path. He chatted with these leaders for a while and then set off for Hongtianluo Sect.
When he first came to Xuechao Island, Gu Zheng lived in the courtyard of Hongtianluo Sect. When he left Xuechao Island, Mu Chunfeng, the head of Hongtianluo Sect, also expressed his intention to follow the lead of Emei.
Knowing that Gu Zheng would definitely come to Xuechao Island, Mu Chunfeng had already instructed the mountain guarding disciples that once Gu Zheng came to Hongtianluo Sect, he would be brought in directly without notification.
When Gu Zheng was brought outside the main hall of Hongtianluo Sect, Mu Chunfeng, who was meeting with the sect leaders in the hall, immediately came out with a smile, and the leaders of Hongtianluo Sect who followed him also greeted Gu Zheng.
Today is different from the past. When Gu Zheng came to Xuechao Island last time, he was just a cultivator in the eyes of the leaders of Hongtianluo Sect, but now they all know that Gu Zheng is a cultivator in the Return to Void Realm, and their attitude towards Gu Zheng has changed a lot.
Looking at the leaders of Hongtianluo Sect who called him "Senior", Gu Zheng was also very sad. Xuechao Island was his blessed land. At the beginning, in the treasure of Tianluo Cave, his cultivation level was improved by leaps and bounds! If there was no opportunity in the treasure of Tianluo Cave, it would be difficult for Gu Zheng to imagine what realm he would be in now.
Since the last time he left Xuechao Island, Mu Chunfeng and Shangguan Feng have actually seen Gu Zheng once during this period of time. That was after the opening of Jixiang Xiaozhu, and the two of them went there to show their support.
Outside the hall was not a place to talk, so Gu Zheng was welcomed into the hall by the people of Hongtianluo Sect, and everyone started chatting about the recent situation on Xuechao Island.
During the chat, Mu Chunfeng mentioned an incident related to Hongtianluo Sect and Emei Sect some time ago, and apologized for it.
Gu Zheng naturally knew about what Mu Chunfeng said, and he did not mean to complain or complain about it, but just told Mu Chunfeng not to think too much about it.
Some time ago, Hongtianluo Sect was bullied, and the person who bullied Hongtianluo Sect was named Xiahou Shan, a visitor from the prehistoric world.
After Xiahou Shan came to this world, he founded a sect called ‘Piaomiao Mountain’. In addition to him, there were three other visitors from the prehistoric times.
Gu Zheng had never seen Xiahou Shan, but he had seen the other three members of his sect when Miaomiao was promoted to Stealing the Sky some time ago. At that time, the three people had just escaped from the prehistoric times and appeared above Mount Emei. Gu Zheng stopped in mid-air with his divine thoughts to warn them, and the three left without staying for long.
Although there are not many people in Piaomiao Mountain, there are already four immortal cultivators. The head of the sect, Xiahou Shan, is an immortal cultivator at the peak of Return to Void, and as for the other three, their cultivation is all in the late stage of Return to Void. Such a sect has great growth potential. After all, the immortal cultivators at the peak of Return to Void are still the masters of this world.
After the establishment of Piaomiao Mountain, it happened that the righteous way was carrying out the second ‘Demon Suppression Operation’. Xiahou Shan led the other three immortal cultivators to join the ranks of Demon Suppression.
Xiahou Shan and others joined after the Black Dragon Island Incident, so Gu Zheng had never seen this person. Since the Black Dragon Island Incident, there has been no major event in the Demon-Slaying Operation. Therefore, Piaomiao Mountain, which wanted to use the Demon-Slaying Operation to gain fame, did not have a particularly high reputation in the righteous path. After all, they were not able to shine and did not contribute much to this chaotic world.
When the righteous people began to garrison the Blood Tide Island, Xiahou Shan still led his disciples to come. As for the Red Sky Snail Sect and other branches of the Sky Snail Sect, Xiahou Shan, who was short of disciples, naturally set his sights on them.
What Xiahou Shan called a plan was not just a simple lobbying, but a kind of coercion with a bit of threat.
The branches of Tianluo Sect, except for the Red Tianluo Sect, had offended Kunlun, the leader of the righteous path, many years ago. For this reason, Kunlun did not invite any branches of Tianluo Sect except the Red Tianluo Sect during the Kunlun event.
Without a big boss as a backer, when facing Xiahoushan's strong attack, the branches of Tianluo Sect, no matter what their mentality was, had already surrendered to Xiahoushan.
The so-called surrender does not mean disbanding the sect and joining Piaomiao Mountain from now on, but that they will be protected by Piaomiao Mountain in the future! If Piaomiao Mountain has problems, it is their business, and whoever wants to bully them must bear the wrath of Piaomiao Mountain.
The branches of Tianluo Sect are all on some islands overseas. Their situation is similar to that of Tianxin Sect on Wufeng Island. They are all local emperors. Therefore, although their sects are not well-known, they have a lot of disciples. The surrender of the three branches of Tianluo Sect actually made Piaomiao Mountain a large sect with more than a thousand people, and its momentum in the righteous path was also greatly increased.
Xiahou Shan naturally did not give up questioning the Red Sky Snail Sect, but Mu Chunfeng would not agree, and told the matter to the boss he had already identified, Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng was still in the sect at that time, and the people of Emei had not come to Xuechao Island yet. After learning about Xiahou Shan's situation, he immediately asked Ouyang Hai, Du Wei and Jia Si to come to Xuechao Island in advance.
As a cultivator at the top of the Return to Void Peak, Xiahou Shan was naturally not afraid of Ouyang Hai, but they were all so-called righteous people. Ouyang Hai had spoken, so he could not continue to entangle with the Red Sky Snail Sect.
However, Xiahou Shan, who did not entangle with the Red Sky Snail Sect, entangled with Ouyang Hai again, and proposed to exchange ideas with Ouyang Hai.
For Xiahou Shan's request, whether it was for the glory of Emei or for his own face, Ouyang Hai had no reason to refuse.
Originally, Ouyang Hai planned to find a deserted place for the competition. After all, both of them were immortals at the top of Return to Void. Any little thing that happened to them would be widely spread in the cultivation world.
Xiahou Shan did not agree with Ouyang Hai's proposal. He believed that the competition between the top masters of Return to Void was a rare opportunity for the younger generation to gain knowledge, so they should just compete in the sky above Blood Tide Island.
Moreover, Xiahou Shan seemed to be very indifferent and said that face was a small matter! If you can't even let go of your face in the competition, then with such a calm mind, how can you talk about impacting the Golden Immortal realm? At that time, when Xiahou Shan challenged Ouyang Hai to compete, he chose a public occasion, and he said such words. Ouyang Hai, who wanted to save him some face and didn't want him to lose badly, was naturally happy to help him!
So, Ouyang Hai and Xiahou Shan had a competition in the sky above the Mist Wind Island.
The result of the competition was both within Ouyang Hai's expectations and beyond his expectations, that is, he lost! Xiahou Shan dared to challenge him, and he was undoubtedly certain about it, which he naturally knew. And the reason why he proposed to solve it privately was because he was worried that he would lose.
But no matter what, Ouyang Hai also has his confidence and pride! He has been trapped at the peak of returning to the void for many years, so his strength is naturally beyond doubt. It is not particularly embarrassing to lose only one move to Xiahou Shan.
After Gu Zheng came to Wufeng Island this time, he asked Ouyang Hai if Piaomiao Mountain had troubled Emei again recently. Ouyang Hai's answer was no, after all, Emei is truly in its heyday! Its position in the righteous path, due to its own very good growth potential, coupled with its relationship with the three giants of Shushan, Kunlun, and Buddhism, a competition like Xiahou Shan is already a very close call!
Moreover, although the Big Three did not say anything about Xia Houshan's provocation, they were already very dissatisfied with his actions in private! To take a step back, Xiahou Shan comes from the ancient times after all. If he is too strong, the local immortal cultivators will naturally not look too much on their faces.
"Has Xiahou Shan caused any trouble for your Red Sky Snail Sect in the recent period?"
Gu Zheng asked the people of the Red Tianluo Sect in the palace.
"After what happened last time, Xiahou Shan did not find any trouble with the Red Tianluo Sect. After all, he could also feel that Kunlun and other sects were unhappy with him. Moreover, in the past half month, he himself has not been in the blood tide. island."
Mu Chunfeng's voice paused, and then he laughed bitterly: "Although Xiahou Shan no longer looks for trouble, those Tianluo Sect branches that have submitted to him have always made trouble intentionally or unintentionally and created some friction during this period. , among which the Green Sky Snail faction is the most troublesome!"
"Green Sky Snail Faction?"
Gu Zheng frowned and murmured.
There are three branches of Tianluo Sect that have surrendered to Xiahou Mountain. These three sects are Yellow Tianluo Sect, Green Tianluo Sect and Blue Tianluo Sect.
I am relatively unfamiliar with the ancient dispute between the Blue Tianluo Sect, but I have some impressions of the ancient dispute between the Yellow Tianluo Sect and the Green Tianluo Sect.
The last time he came to Blood Tide Island, Gu Zheng used his 'Tai Chi Cold Shrimp' on the top of the mountain to defeat Huang Tianluo Sect disciple Xie Ying's 'Tianluo Starfish'.
Later, when the great elder of the Huang Tianluo Sect traveled around the mountains and rivers to bring resources to Guzheng to redeem the 'Tianluo Starfish', he wanted to peek into Miao Miao's true identity, but was given a lesson by Miao Miao. Elder Hu of the Huang Tianluo Sect was taught another lesson by Gu Zheng in the other courtyard where Gu Zheng lived.
Because You Shanhe saw some of Miaomiao's memories in the fantasy world and knew some of the strength of the Emei Sect, he developed a deep fear of Gu Zheng and Miaomiao! So much so that later, when it came to the deal regarding the Tianluo Cave quota, he would first ask what Gu Zheng meant.
As for the Green Tianluo Sect, they were originally on good terms with the Huang Tianluo Sect. When Gu Zheng taught Elder Hu of the Huang Tianluo Sect, Xin Qingzhu, the head of the Green Tianluo Sect, was also present and he behaved the same way towards Gu Zheng. Out of fear. As for Xin Qingzhu, Gu Zheng's impression of him was that he was very smooth and a walleye-level figure.
"Report to the leader! Elder You of the Huang Tianluo sect and leader Xin of the Green Tianluo sect have something to ask to see the ancient leader!"
Outside the main hall, the voice of a disciple from the Red Sky Luo Sect suddenly came to report.
"Humph, what the hell are you talking about!"
Mu Chunfeng sneered, with a hint of pleasure in his eyes.
Gu Zheng had just arrived at Blood Tide Island, and Xin Qingzhu and You Shanhe chased the Red Tianluo Sect to ask for an audience. What does this mean? Whether it's Gu Zheng or Mu Chunfeng, they can all guess something!
Looking at Gu Zheng with questioning eyes, after getting his nod, Mu Chunfeng said outside the hall: "Let them come in!"
A moment later, You Shanhe and Xin Qingzhu appeared in the main hall of the Red Tianluo Sect.
"Master Gu, you're fine!"
Traveling through mountains and rivers, fighting for the ancient times.
Since the last time Gu Zheng left Blood Tide Island, this was the second time that You Shanhe had seen Gu Zheng. Although Emei did not notify some sects on the hidden island of the opening of Jixiang Xiaozhu, You Shanhe, who got the news, still took the leader of the Huang Tianluo sect to Wufeng Island to praise Gu Zheng.
"Um."
Facing You Shanhe's clenched fist, Gu Zheng's faint response clearly showed his dissatisfaction.
"Master Gu, long time no see!"
Xin Qingzhu also clasped his fists at Gu Zheng, but the smile on his face was already very embarrassing due to the experience of traveling to the mountains and rivers.
"hehe."
Gu Zheng smiled and glanced sideways at Xin Qingzhu: "The Red Tianluo Sect follows Emei's lead, and you all know it now. And what I want to know is, how do you explain these unpleasant things? Or do you have any? No explanation?"
Gu Zheng's words made everyone in the Red Tianluo Sect feel happy!
Although Mu Chunfeng is the leader of the Red Tianluo Sect, he has absolute say in the Red Tianluo Sect, and his decisions can represent the entire Red Tianluo Sect. When he wanted to attach himself to Emei, no elders in the sect objected to this matter, but Gu Zheng's attitude towards this matter seemed a bit ambiguous.
Later, the Xiahou Mountain incident occurred. After Mu Chunfeng informed Gu Zheng, although Gu Zheng immediately sent Ouyang Hai to deal with it, he still didn't say much about the relationship between the two sects. This also made Mu Chunfeng and others feel like It's like carrying a rabbit! I always feel that without a clear affirmation from Gu Zheng, this relationship will not be so solid.
It's fine now. What Gu Zheng just said undoubtedly clarified the relationship between the two sects and gave them something to rely on in the future. How could they not be happy about this!
Compared with the people of the Red Tianluo Sect, You Shanhe and Xin Qingzhu trembled in their hearts. They both spoke almost at the same time: "Master Gu, please listen to my explanation!"
"Tell me one by one."
Gu Zheng looked at You Shanhe.
"Submitting to Xiahou Mountain is not what I, the Yellow Tianluo Sect, want, but now that I have surrendered, it is a done deal. The trouble caused by the Red Tianluo Sect is indeed a hint from Xiahou Mountain, but I have tried my best to control it. , This is really something that can’t be helped!”
You Shanhe had a wry smile on his face. He felt that Huang Tianluo Sect was sandwiched between two mountains, and they could not afford to offend either one.
Seeing Gu Zheng's silence, You Shanhe spoke again: "But don't worry, Master Gu! There are some things that I shouldn't say, and I have never told anyone about them."
Gu Zheng understood that what You Shanhe was referring to was what he saw in Miaomiao's memory fragments. Although those things were no longer important to Gu Zheng, it was commendable that You Shanhe could do this and cause relatively little trouble to the Red Sky Snail Sect.
Gu Zheng still did not speak, but looked at Xin Qingzhu coldly.
"Master Gu, what Elder You said is what I want to say. However, I want to add that in the Green Sky Snail Sect, my identity is only the master, and there are elders who are more powerful than me. I don't want to get stuck in the gap, but they don't want to think so much!" Xin Qingzhu's smile was like crying.
The explanations made by You Shanhe and Xin Qingzhu undoubtedly represented disloyalty to them who had already surrendered to Xiahou Shan. However, since it was a forced surrender, You Shanhe and Xin Qingzhu could not care so much. They did not want to bear Gu Zheng's anger at all.
