Chapter 1873

At the moment when Commander Mi died.

In the wilderness outside, Ma Nan, who was moving forward, was shocked and stopped immediately.

"What's wrong? Chief Ma."

Accompanying him was a tall demon soul, who was also a subordinate of Lord Jin's clan. This time, he specially accompanied Ma Nan to the city where their clan was located, preparing to introduce each other and let the other party become an external helper here.

Seeing Ma Nan's shocked expression, he asked with some surprise.

"It's okay, I made the special envoy worried, I just suddenly remembered something." Ma Nan heard his question, and his face slowly calmed down.

"So, why don't we take a break and wait until you are in a better state before rushing on the road. Anyway, there is no rush." ​​The special envoy knew that the other party just didn't want to say it, but he didn't care, but said it intimately.

He was just an ordinary demon soul in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal, and Ma Nan's future status must be needless to say, so he was willing to make a good relationship.

"Okay, trouble." Ma Nan also said it, because at this moment he still couldn't believe it in his heart.

Commander Mi is dead!

He just felt in his heart that Commander Mi was dead. This was not simply the death of his friend who had been with him all the time. He had already thought of Lord Jin and the battle that happened over there.

Is there something he didn't pay attention to?

But it was too late to say anything now. If Commander Mi died, he felt that Lord Jin and his people, as well as his own people, would not have a good ending. The best result would be being captured by the other side.

In any case, his plan to stay with Lord Jin this time must be changed.

Although there were still some scattered guards outside, the most important combat members were taken over. As long as they helped Lord Jin to make merit, he didn't care if they died. Anyway, they were just stepping stones. They were not recruited again. At most, it would delay some time.

But if Lord Jin died, then there was absolutely no need to say more about the consequences for himself. He would definitely use him as a scapegoat. By then, he would be in the other party's power. Once the news came, his fate could be imagined.

Even if Lord Jin didn't die, his good impression of him was gone. Even Commander Mi died, which showed how bad the situation was. He had to leave and couldn't go there.

The only good news was that he had already completed the transformation, and he just had to wait quietly. The bad news was that if things were really bad, he would be alone again and be hunted down by both sides.

It was really a loss of both the wife and the army!

Thinking of this, he looked at the special envoy who was about to fall to the ground, and his figure immediately flew away. At this time, his best way was to find a place to hide first, and wait until he recovered his strength, and then go to see what happened. He would never put his fate in the hands of others again.

"Hey, where is Chief Ma?"

The special envoy who came to the ground looked back, but found that Ma Nan's figure had disappeared. He was suddenly startled, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

But without Ma Nan, he didn't dare to go back. After seeing that there was no shadow of the other party around, he was not joking with himself, and he wailed in his heart, and then flew in one direction, he was going to find Ma Nan.

"Where did you pick up this person, or is this the person you want to pick up?"

At the door of the Black Palace, Elder Gu looked at Gu Zheng coming over, and asked strangely after seeing the unconscious person behind him.

Although she didn't care about the other party's appearance, the other guy seemed to be a little weak. He was only in the early stage of the Golden Immortal, and even her guards probably couldn't beat him.

"The person I picked up just came here, and I happened to meet him. When I came halfway, it was the other party who helped me cover, so I could sneak in here, otherwise I couldn't sneak attack the other party smoothly." Gu Zheng admitted directly.

You know, when the other party came in, they must have patrolled as an exception. Gu Zheng didn't have the confidence to avoid the other party's detection. After all, the life mark was different. If they were discovered, it would be difficult to have such a result.

They were not attacked, and Gu Zheng and his team might not be able to stop them.

If the other party escapes, it will be even more dangerous here. Once they realize that there are so many strengths here, they will definitely be alert. Once one of them goes back, the next exploration will come soon.

Now the other party is completely wiped out, and no one knows about their failure. At least they can buy a long time.

"I see." Elder Gu nodded, without saying much, she also knew what was going on.

Now the entire Black Palace has returned to normal. Gu Zheng looked around and did not find any traces of those people, and then asked curiously.

"What do you do with those Ma Nan people?"

"Imprison them first, and then find time to refine them all into puppets. Some of them will supplement the materials I need." Elder Gu said as a matter of course.

"You know, the basic materials needed to summon these are very few, but there are some key places that are still very difficult to find. Not every black water contains the energy in it, but they naturally have it in their bodies. This is why I can't summon guards later."

Elder Gu still explained in detail to Gu Zheng, and was afraid that the other party would misunderstand something.

"Is it impossible to recapture him? Comparatively speaking, if we force the other party to be our subordinate, it is better than a puppet. You have to know that the other party's cultivation is still there, and their strength is not weak." Gu Zheng frowned, but soon relaxed his brows and continued to ask.

"I want to, too. After all, there are so many people. I have many ways to subdue some of them. But the other party has an indelible mark on them. I took a quick look and there is no way." Elder Gu was also a little regretful. If there was no way, he would not kill the chicken to get the eggs.

"Otherwise, I will go and see. If I can erase the mark of the other party, then keep them first. And there is a better idea. Once successful, you will not have to worry about the threat of the other party in a short time." Gu Zheng thought for a while, then said.

"Well, I will wait for your good news in the Black Palace."

Thinking of the mark in Gu Zheng's body before, which was completely gone at this time, Elder Gu agreed directly. Even if Gu Zheng wanted to try, she was willing. After all, there was a group of subordinates. Even if they were not convinced, she had a way to control them and let them do things for her.

The benefit was completely different from the decision she made. She was helpless. The worst way was not to kill them in vain. That would be a waste.

After telling Gu Zheng where they were imprisoned, Elder Gu shook his head and walked towards the Black Palace.

Taking advantage of this time, there are still some guards to do their guard work. As for their own consumption, there is no need to worry. Anyway, there will be no enemies for a long time, and the tense spirit can be relaxed a little.

Gu Zheng walked towards the mountains behind him, and those people were simply placed in that position.

"Look, it's that mysterious person who came to help Elder Gu."

After Gu Zheng bypassed the Black Palace, some of Elder Gu's men were busy around, repairing some damaged buildings. When they saw Gu Zheng coming, they immediately whispered to each other.

"Yes, I didn't expect it to be so powerful. I really don't know why they can come down with such a high level of cultivation. I can't imagine it." Another person with a lower cultivation level also echoed.

Although the other party's voice was low, Gu Zheng still heard it clearly. After the other party drove the enemy away, his body seemed to have endless energy. Several people were talking about him. He could only speed up his pace and quickly pass this distance. After bypassing the rocks in front, his ears were quieter.

"Master Gu."

Turning around, he saw Xiao Fang who was guarding not far away. After seeing Gu Zheng coming out, he immediately stepped forward and shouted.

Gu Zheng nodded, and then walked towards the other party.

Under the mountain here, there was an open space that was artificially excavated. There were some rubble scattered around and not cleaned up. It was obviously opened up by Elder Gu before to imprison them.

"I wonder if there is anything I can do for you?" Xiao Fang saw Gu Zheng coming towards him.

He knew that this was Elder Gu's friend who rescued them from danger. They were not prepared at all. Without his help, they would have been finished long ago. Therefore, he came over diligently to see if he could help, and he didn't even care about his responsibility of guarding.

"I'll go in for a while. There's nothing else to do. You continue to guard." Gu Zheng refused the other party's help and walked directly inside.

The latter retreated awkwardly and continued to stand there as a wooden stake. After all, with Elder Gu's barrier, the people inside had no chance to come out at all. His role was to be a pillar.

The passage was more than one person wide. After walking a few steps, there was a layer of gray-white barrier. Relatively speaking, the gray-white color was still very light, and the situation inside could be seen more clearly.

Standing outside, Gu Zheng looked inside very carefully. Anyway, you couldn't see the outside from inside.

As a place to temporarily detain them, of course there were no good conditions. There were rocks all around, and the space was extremely narrow. It was like driving ducks, stuffing them all in, and nothing was done.

Although they had failed and their fate was no longer on the other party, some people still couldn't stand such a crowded place. Although they couldn't go out, they could still open up a temporary foothold on the hard rocks next to them.

So Gu Zheng saw many people standing on the wall, almost filling up the surrounding area, with only palm-sized stone pillars supporting them, which made the space below a little loose.

Most of them were already dejected, without any conversation, and everyone looked lifeless. Only a few of them were unwilling to accept and whispered to the people around them, but unfortunately the other party ignored them at all. Only they talked in a low voice, and it seemed that they were planning something.

Seeing this, Gu Zheng also had some confidence in his heart, and this was the only chance.

Those unwilling people were naturally the diehards of Ma Nan, and they might have been the first batch of people to enter. For such people, there was no room for negotiation. Gu Zheng had already marked them, and then they would be trained into puppets by Elder Gu.

For such enemies, he would not show mercy.

As for the rest of the people, there was still a chance to fight for it.

After all, the mark in the other party's body, even if they were infected deeply, would involuntarily obey Ma Nan's orders, but the other party had not activated it, which meant that these people had not completely entered the abyss.

Once activated, there would be no chance at all, which gave Gu Zheng confidence and he went directly across the barrier and entered.

As for whether the other party agreed or not, it had nothing to do with him. They had to agree even if they disagreed. If they wanted to die, he would help them, and it had nothing to do with him.

Gu Zheng certainly didn't know that although Ma Nan also wanted to activate these marks, on the one hand, these marks were not planted for a long time, and many of them did not reach a very good ideal state. Secondly, they did not find a suitable opportunity, so they kept delaying and wanted to activate them together at the right time.

Instead, he was not as decisive as Commander Mi. He activated his part when he came, but unfortunately he was killed by Elder Gu in front.

The appearance of Gu Zheng made the people inside look up and look at this uninvited guest. People who knew him or not looked at him.

They knew that Gu Zheng was on Elder Gu's side.

Maybe this time it would decide whether they lived or died. Those who stood on the top did not dare to stand on it, and fell down one after another. People crowded together, and the crowd inevitably moved closer to Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng looked at the people inside. The team that Xi Yang and Xiao Hou had once been in did not dare to look up at Gu Zheng at all. Some people looked eager. Although they were Ma Nan's people, their last wish at this time was not to die for him like this.

There were also those who were nervous or pretending to be calm, and their hearts were different.

"I'll give it to you now."

Gu Zheng didn't care, and said with a slight smile, but just as he spoke, several people around him suddenly emerged from the crowd and rushed towards Gu Zheng.

And in the distance, there were more than a dozen figures rushing over, and it seemed that they wanted to throw it alone, even if there was no hope, they had to try it.

Gu Zheng's originally warm face suddenly turned cold. Looking at these people rushing towards him, murderous aura instantly rose from his heart, like a blizzard spreading around.

The members of Ma Nan here suddenly felt the surrounding temperature drop sharply, just like being naked in the ice and snow.

Those members who rushed over were also affected, and their speed dropped greatly, but they still gritted their teeth and rushed towards the other party.

They would rather these people die than be used by the other party, so they would not stop and directly anger the other party, so that their mission would be completed.

However, in their situation, even if their cultivation is still there, they can't even exert 50% of their strength in this barrier.

With Gu Zheng's cold snort, the figures in the air suddenly turned into a ball of black mist without any movement.

In order to reduce trouble, all the marked people were dealt with together. Anyway, these diehards did not expect the other party to surrender.

As the slight explosions came one by one, these people looked at their companions beside them, and they turned into a wisp of black mist one by one, thinking that it was the other party's revenge. Everyone looked at Gu Zheng in fear, leaving Gu Zheng with an empty space around him in an instant, and they all squeezed behind, with no other emotions except fear.

"Okay, now you can listen to me, anyway, I don't expect you to agree."

When all the annoying guys were dealt with, the frost on Gu Zheng's face disappeared again, and the surroundings returned to normal, but looking at Gu Zheng's smiling face and the cold tone, everyone shuddered in their hearts and felt a little bad.

Good or not, Gu Zheng didn't know, but he felt that he was about to collapse.

After five days of busy work, Gu Zheng came out and told Xiao Fang, who had been guarding beside him, to tell him to tell Elder Gu something. Then he left in a hurry and found a room next to him. After he was not on guard, he began to recover.

The process of removing the mark was really difficult. Even if the other party did not resist and let him do whatever he wanted, every person who removed the mark could not help but wail in pain, making everyone think that he was torturing them for fun.

Those who were imprinted for a shorter time were easier to say, but those who were imprinted for a very long time were more difficult.

However, despite this, more than 20 people did not endure the pain and died of pain.

If Gu Zheng had not tied them up, he would have suspected that these people would rather come to die than suffer such inhuman torture.

The other party was in pain, and he was also tortured. He could not block the other party's mouth, so he could only endure it.

It took him half a month of recuperation to recover. He decided that if there were such people again, he would rather the other party die than help them solve the hidden dangers in their bodies.

The key is that the other party is still unaware of it. It is really depressing to think that Gu Zheng has such a perverted hobby.

Shaking his head, Gu Zheng removed the barrier and prepared to go out to find Elder Gu. He had another idea that he had not told the other party.

As a result, after pushing open the door, he found Mo You wandering at the door. He was also frightened by his appearance. Now he was looking at Gu Zheng with some fear, as if he wanted to run.

"Why are you here? Did someone bully you?" Gu Zheng was helpless when he saw the other party's appearance, but at least he got used to it a little and did not show a surprised expression.

"No, I just thought that I have nothing to do here. I always feel something is wrong. I want to see if there is anything to do." Mo You said after his body returned to normal.

In fact, after knowing that she was brought by Gu Zheng, she was not bullied at all, but respected. No matter what she did, there were people to help her, so how could she be wronged.

However, this also made her a little nervous and uneasy. She knew that Gu Zheng would definitely leave here, and she couldn't follow him. As time went on, these people would not be able to remember her forever. She still thought it would be better to have a job of her own so that she would not be excluded.

Although Gu Zheng has not left yet, she already knows that she will definitely be left here. For her own consideration, she has been hovering in front of Gu Zheng.

"So it's this matter, no problem, don't worry." Gu Zheng understood what the other party meant and agreed directly.

After hearing Gu Zheng's guarantee, Mo You left here happily. For him, being able to live safely here is enough, and she really doesn't care about other things.

The only thing that puzzled her was why she came here. The part of her memory in her mind was gone.

But it doesn't matter, as long as she is alive, no matter what form, at least she is still herself, isn't it?

This is her wish in her heart.
