Chapter 726 How to Take Revenge
When the ancient war was still on the earth, the Wei brothers and sisters of the Demon Sect destroyed the Kunlun Sect's Ancestral Dragon Formation, which accelerated the recovery of the Immortal Essence.
The Ancestral Dragon Formation has the effect of controlling the fate of demons. After the Ancestral Dragon Formation is destroyed, it will be easier for the demon cultivators in the prehistoric times to escape to the earth. Therefore, among the immortal cultivators who have descended on the earth in recent years, the majority are demon cultivators. .
Several ruthless characters from the righteous sects rose to prominence, and with the fresh blood added by both sides, the demonic path once again had the advantage. Under the ebb and flow of one another, in the second half of the fifth year of Gu Zheng's departure from the earth, the relative calm was broken again , the forbearing demonic path began to launch a counterattack against the righteous path.
The war has been going on for more than a year now.
The old saying that Feng Shui takes turns has been confirmed, and the era of Taoism and Demonic Growth has arrived. In more than a year, the roles of the originally strong Righteous Way and the Demonic Way have been interchanged. Now the Demonic Way is at its peak, and the Righteous Way Alliance is in misery. Basically, it is just They adopt a state of forbearance and spend most of their time on their respective mountains. With the help of the protection of the mountain guarding immortal formation, they can avoid the vicious hands of the devil.
In more than a year, the Righteous Alliance has suffered heavy casualties!
All the masters Gu Zheng knew in Buddhism have died in the battle, including Master Wu Ming and Master Xing Dian who helped Gu Zheng find Zhao Yifeng.
In the Shushan Sect, there was no one else who was an immortal cultivator that Gu Zheng knew except Xuan Qizi.
It was even worse in Kunlun. Master Yufeng died in the battle, and not a single immortal cultivator Gu Zheng knew was left! The people who are in charge of Kunlun now are immortal cultivators who came to the earth from the Kunlun sect in the ancient times.
Emei also suffered heavy losses. Among the Supreme Elders Gu Zheng knew, Elder Wuyou died in the battle at the ruins of the Demon King, Eight Supreme Elders Chen Yue died in the battle between the Righteous Alliance and the Demonic Alliance, and the Second Supreme Elder died in the battle. Elder Du Wei and Seventh Supreme Elder Ling Hufei died in a mountain attack launched by Tianmo Sect against Emei.
Two months ago, Yang Zhenling didn't know that Bitao Island had fallen. He came to Bitao Island for business, and after being controlled by the bearded demon cultivator and the others, he became what he is now.
Moreover, according to Yang Zhenling, both Chaoxia Island and Ziyan Island should have fallen. However, he is not a senior member of the Emei Sect, so he does not know the specific situation. He only got some information through hearsay.
In addition, someone from the Emei Sect came to Bitao Island a month ago and had a battle with the bearded demon cultivator. It's a pity that Yang Zhenling is already a prisoner, and he doesn't know much about the outcome of the battle. However, judging from the disdain of the bearded demon cultivator and others later, it seems that Emei did not get any advantage.
After listening to what Yang Zhenling said, Gu Zheng sighed in his heart: "No wonder I can't sense the angry man, it turns out he has ascended!"
"How many people are there on Bitao Island now?" Gu Zheng asked Yang Zhenling.
"There are only more than a thousand, and most of the islanders have been harmed by these demon cultivators." Yang Zhenling said.
"Gather the islanders together, and I will remove the poison from you later."
As a carrier for several demon cultivators to practice demonic skills, the pustules on the faces of Yang Zhenling and others were a manifestation of their poisoning.
Yang Zhenling took the order and left, and Gu Zheng began to search for the souls of the three demon cultivators.
First wake up the three demon cultivators, and Gu Zheng will launch a destructive soul search on them while they are awake. This can also be regarded as their punishment.
With howls like killing pigs, the three demon cultivators were searched one by one by Gu Zheng and turned into three idiots. However, Gu Zheng did not kill them and kept them for other purposes.
The sect to which the three demon cultivators belong is the Blood Transformation Sect. This Blood Transformation Sect also has four demon cultivators who are in the realm of returning to the void, and they should all be staying at their headquarters now.
In fact, Gu Zheng had interacted with the Blood Transformation Sect when he was on earth. The first immortal cultivator he killed, the Xueguang Patriarch, was a member of the Blood Transformation Sect. However, today's Blood Transformation Sect is no longer the former Blood Transformation Sect. The immortal cultivators in this sect are all demonic cultivators who came out of the prehistoric times.
From the memories of the three demon cultivators, Gu Zheng learned that his other three islands had also fallen. Ziyan Island was occupied by the Tianmo Sect, and Zhaoxia Island was occupied by several casual cultivators who had not joined the sect. As for Wufeng Island, it fell twenty days ago and was occupied by the Xuanming Sect.
"Hua Xue Sect, Xuan Ming Sect, Tian Mo Sect, and all the devils! I am back from ancient times, and the time for blood debts to be repaid with blood is coming!"
Gu Zheng sneered and walked towards somewhere on Bitao Island.
From the memories of the three demon cultivators, Gu Zheng also learned that a month ago, the people sent by the Emei sect to attack Bitao Island were the original Third Supreme Elder Jia Si, the Sixth Supreme Elder Lian Yuxin, and that after Gu Zheng left, Join two emei elders, Cao Kang and Jian Ying.
Six years have passed, and the cultivation of these people on the earth is not what it used to be. Take Yang Zhenling, who was not an immortal cultivator at that time, for example, his current cultivation is in the late stage of Qi Transformation. As for the original Supreme Elders, their cultivation has also made good progress.
Gu Zheng came to the water prison on Bitao Island, easily broke the restrictions on the door, and saw an inhuman woman trapped in the water prison, almost tortured.
Looking at the stranger who suddenly appeared, the woman's eyes widened, she shook her head in disbelief, and then said: "You, are you Gu Zheng?"
"The Supreme Elder has suffered!"
Gu Zheng reached out and waved his hand, and the trapped immortal rope that originally passed through the woman's collarbone collapsed, and some of the poisonous insects on the woman were also killed.
Before the woman could slip into the water, Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the gentle air flow lifted the woman to her side. At the same time, a suit of clothes transformed by fairy power also covered the woman's naked body.
"Wow..."
Although her cultivation was at the late stage of Return to Void, she was still saved by her own people after being tortured for a long time and escaped. The woman couldn't help crying.
"Don't worry, I will let the people of Huaxue Sect pay you back double for the pain and torture you suffered!"
Although Gu Zheng felt uncomfortable because of the woman's crying, he didn't use the "calming technique" to calm her emotions. He knew she needed to vent.
The woman was Jian Ying who came with Jia Si and others last time. It was a pity that the big bearded demon cultivator and others were so powerful. In the four-on-three battle, Jia Si and others not only lost, but also let Jian Ying be captured by the big bearded demon cultivator and others, and imprisoned in this water prison and tortured.
"Master, why are you back again?"
After all, Jian Ying was a cultivator. It took only a short time for her to vent. In her tearful eyes, Gu Zheng saw disbelief.
Although Jian Ying joined Emei later, visiting the portraits of the ancestors of Emei was one of the first things to do after joining Emei, and Gu Zheng's portrait was among them.
Six years ago, Gu Zheng ascended to heaven, and six years later, Gu Zheng came back. This short time was not even enough for a cultivator to retreat. Moreover, Jian Ying had a deep understanding of how dangerous the current Bi Tao Island was. Gu Zheng was able to rescue her as if he was in an empty space. There must be many stories behind this.
"I came back to see my home when I missed it, but who knew that my home had been trampled on."
Gu Zheng sneered as he spoke, and his eyes narrowed into a line.
"Master, what realm are you in now?"
Looking at Gu Zheng's current appearance, and remembering what he said before that Huaxuemen would double the return, Jian Ying couldn't help asking.
"The early stage of Daluo Jinxian."
Gu Zheng's faint voice sounded like a thunder in Jian Ying's ears!
"Oh my god! In six years, he has cultivated from the early stage of Golden Immortal to the early stage of Daluo Golden Immortal. Even if the head is an immortal chef, this is incredible, right? I have never seen anyone who has cultivated so fast like the head!"
Jian Ying looked up at Gu Zheng, who just shook his head and smiled: "Tell me briefly about the major events that have happened in Emei in recent years."
"Okay!"
Jian Ying was very obedient and immediately briefly told the major events that have happened in Emei in recent years.
"Wait for me in the square outside, I will remove the poison for you later."
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he left the water prison first. He wanted to go to the temple on Bitao Island.
There were statues and incense sticks of Gu Zheng in the temple, but after Bitao Island was occupied by the people of Huaxue Sect, his incense sticks were destroyed, and the statue was burned into charcoal by the bearded demon cultivator.
"I had planned to take some ready-made pure power of faith after I came back, but now all this has come to nothing. This is the case with Bitao Island, and it must be the same for the other islands. After all, occupying a place will definitely not allow them to retain their previous faith." Gu Zheng sighed. The temple was destroyed, and the pure power of faith originally stored in the temple naturally disappeared. "What are your plans next?" asked the spirit of the weapon. "First, I will see how my father is, then notify Emei that I am back, and then treat the injuries of the islanders of Bitao Island, and then destroy the enemies who occupied my islands! What happens next, we will talk about it later." Gu Zheng finished speaking and separated his divine thoughts to fly to France. The flying speed of the divine thoughts was very fast. Gu Zheng saw many immortal cultivators along the way, but they did not have any special reaction to this hurried divine thought. Although the earth is no longer mainly developing science and technology due to the influence of immortal energy, the secular world has not become too chaotic because of this. After all, the ruling forces of various countries are still there, and they are also supported by the immortal forces behind them. However, some things seen along the way still show the difference between today's Earth and the past! For example, some buildings that meet the aesthetics of immortal cultivators, as well as some advertisements for immortal sects recruiting disciples, or cultivators who suddenly show their skills on the street.
A lot of things have changed in six years, and Gu Zheng is not sure where his father is now. However, as soon as his divine consciousness arrived in France, Gu Zheng knew where his father was, because he had made arrangements before his ascension, and the ninth great elder Yuehua was responsible for secretly protecting his father's safety. And Yuehua had a jade talisman with his divine consciousness imprint on his body, which gave him extremely accurate guidance.
It was dinner time, and Gu Zheng's father and several relatives happened to gather together for dinner.
"Dad!"
Gu Zheng's voice suddenly rang in Gu Ming's mind. Gu Ming, who was picking up the dishes, accidentally let the dishes fall back into the bowl.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Gu Ming's abnormal expression, a relative asked.
"It's okay, you eat first."
Gu Ming smiled and got up and went into the bedroom.
Gu Zheng is only sending a wisp of divine thought, but this does not affect the communication between father and son.
Gu Zheng came to see his father this time, not only to care about his safety, but also to ask him whether he wants to cultivate immortality. If he wants to cultivate immortality, no matter how big the difficulties are, Gu Zheng will find a way to overcome them. And, if there are relatives who want to cultivate immortality, they can also tell him.
Gu Ming has actually lived a good life for six years. And, because Gu Zheng has ascended, even if the people of the Demonic Path are enemies of Emei, no one has come to harass him.
However, two years ago, Gu Ming no longer worked at Michelin, and the world is relatively much more chaotic than before. In the rest of his life, he just wants to spend it quietly.
This is not the first time that Gu Zheng asked his father whether he wanted to cultivate immortality. His father's answer to this question is the same as before. Everyone has their own way of life and pursuit. For him, living in peace until old age and being a human being for a lifetime is enough. Pursuing immortality is not the way of life he likes.
Moreover, his father's attitude towards Gu Zheng's proposal to let his relatives cultivate immortality is not recommended. As for the reason, it is not difficult to understand.
Gu Zheng still respects his father's attitude. It is indeed as his father said that everyone has their own way of life and pursuit. Whatever he thinks or is happy, let him go. Not interfering with his happiness and fulfilling his happiness is also a way of filial piety!
"Master, you are back!"
Yuehua is in Gu Ming's house, but Gu Ming can't see her.
As soon as Gu Zheng's mind entered the house, Yuehua had already discovered it, and then she was ecstatic! As the Grand Elder of Emei, she could naturally recognize Gu Zheng's divine thoughts, but she knew that Gu Zheng would communicate with his father first, so she waited quietly until Gu Ming returned to the restaurant to eat again, and then she couldn't help but send a message to Gu Zheng.
"Grand Elder, how are you?"
Hearing Yuehua's excited voice, Gu Zheng's heart was also warm.
A cultivator was asked to protect a mortal, and a cultivator in the late stage of returning to the void! Moreover, she was able to protect Gu Ming for six years after Gu Zheng ascended, which had to be said to be precious.
"How are you, I just miss the master very much, and I often worry about the situation in the sect."
Yuehua paused, and then asked: "Master, what realm are you in now? Why did you come back from the prehistoric so soon?"
"The cultivation of the early stage of the Golden Immortal of Daluo, I came back to see you when I miss home." Gu Zheng said.
"The cultivation of the early stage of the Golden Immortal? Oh my God! How did you cultivate, and how did you successfully travel through space at the level of the Golden Immortal?" Yuehua's voice was full of shock.
"Don't be so shocked, you know I'm not in the ordinary." Gu Zheng smiled bitterly.
"That's true!" Yuehua sighed.
"Well, I just came back not long ago, and there are a lot of things waiting to be dealt with. After I finish the things at hand, we will talk about it in detail after we meet. At that time, if you have any requirements, whether it is food cultivation or resources, you can tell me!" Gu Zheng said.
"Yuehua thanks the master first!"
Yuehua smiled happily and then said: "Forget about food cultivation. I am now at the peak of the Return to Void. Food cultivation is of no use to me. I don't plan to return to the prehistoric world before the Chaos Tribulation is over. As for other rewards, I need to think about it carefully!"
"Okay, think about it slowly, see you later!"
Without stopping for long, Gu Zheng's mind immediately flew from France to Emei.
Six years have passed, and the vicissitudes of life have left a deep mark on Mount Emei. The original green peaks have become a scene of devastation after the battle between good and evil.
The closer he got to Emei, the heavier Gu Zheng's mood became. He had learned from Jian Ying that Jiao Jiao's sleep was not accidental.
The attack launched by the Tianmo Sect on Emei caused heavy losses to the Emei Sect. Among them, the original second supreme elder Du Wei and the seventh supreme elder Linghu Fei died in the battle. The Chaos Tower was also robbed in that battle, and the weapon spirit Jiao Jiao fell into a deep sleep.
However, what method did the Tianmo Sect use to injure Jiao Jiao? Not only did Jian Ying not know, but even the other supreme elders did not know.
Gu Zheng was naturally very familiar with the Emei Mountain Guarding Immortal Formation. His divine thoughts went straight through the life gate and entered the Emei Sect.
"Master, Master!"
The voice of surprise sounded, and the first person to discover that Gu Zheng had returned was Lian Yuxin. Similarly, Lian Yuxin's voice was also choked with sobs when she called Gu Zheng. Emei was now in a precarious situation. Seeing Gu Zheng coming back at this time, the original grievances exploded in her heart.
"Yuxin, I'm back!"
In one day, even though Gu Zheng's cultivation was already in the early stage of Daluo Jinxian, he still felt uncomfortable several times. Especially he was quite familiar with Lian Yuxin. When he opened the Immortal Kitchen Shop, Lian Yuxin also helped in the shop. Now seeing her crying like a child, Gu Zheng hated those demon sects even more.
"The head is back!"
Lian Yuxin did not care about her image and sent a message to the senior leaders of the sect in a crying voice.
The original old people in the sect were only Jia Si and Wuchou. After hearing Lian Yuxin's message, they jumped up from their meditation and ran towards the Emei Hall like a gust of wind.
As for the four great elders who joined Emei after Gu Zheng ascended, although they were confused and shocked at the moment, they also ran towards the Emei Hall.
There are more than just these few immortal cultivators in Emei now, but now the general trend is that immortal cultivators who cannot even reach the late stage of transformation are no longer qualified to be the great elders in a sect.
"Master!"
Seeing Gu Zheng's divine thoughts, Wuchou burst into tears. Although Jia Si did not cry, his eyes were red. Too many things have happened in six years. The glory of the past is gone, leaving only humiliation and unwillingness. Gu Zheng's return now, they know what this means!
"It's okay, I'm back! I will make up for what I owe to Emei!" Gu Zheng gritted his teeth.
"Master, how do you want revenge?"
"Master, you may not understand the current situation. The magic is in full swing now. We, Emei, cannot compete with the entire magic!"
"Master, you'd better be cautious!"
"Master, a month ago, we wanted to recapture Bitao Island, but not only did we fail to do so, we also let the great elder Jian Ying fall into the clutches of the devil. So, Master, you must be cautious in some of your decisions!"
