Chapter 345 Meeting an Old Friend (Part 1)
Zhang Zhen felt that apart from leading the way, he could not help in any other way, and had no right to touch the ginseng fruit that Gu Chi and the others had worked so hard to pick, so he did not step forward.
Jiang Chong and Zhao Shuo also had self-knowledge. They knew that they were just captured servants and were lucky enough not to be sent to die. How could they dare to expect to get any share of the divine fruit?
Gu Chi raised his eyes and glanced at them. After thinking for a while, he moved his fingers and put three ginseng fruits into the hands of the three of them.
"This is... for me?!" Zhang Zhen was stunned. He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Jiang Chong and Zhao Shuo were also shocked. They never expected that Gu Chi would actually give them such a rare and precious object. After all, they were just servants now.
Beside them, Murong Zhixiu, Tuoba Cang and others also showed confusion in their eyes.
Gu Chi secretly used his spiritual power to explain to them, "To win people's hearts, we need to move them, coerce them, and lure them. These three are indispensable. Only by combining kindness and power can we make them loyal to us from the bottom of their hearts."
"Moving them, coercing them, tempting them with benefits..."
Tuoba Cang pondered it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He silently memorized these nine words in his heart.
At the same time, when they had made huge gains, more and more monks rushed over from the outer areas of the evil nest.
"Is this the place where the ancient sages retreated? It is indeed extraordinary." A woman wearing a purple gold crown and a gilded Kuilong-patterned robe stood with her hands behind her back in the outer area, looking forward.
If Gu Chi and Big Black Dog were here at this moment, they would be extremely surprised when they saw this woman, because this tall and slender young woman was none other than the adopted daughter of the former head of Xuanwu Hall of Heming Sect - Liu Qingyun!
In another direction, a man with red hair dancing wildly and a majestic figure walked with his hands behind his back, carried by a colorful divine road into a peaceful pure land.
On the other side, the seventh-generation monarch Yu Huachen, dressed in white, stood in the foggy woods, gazing at the evil nest ahead from afar.
There was a chaotic mist spreading there, with ten suns and thirty-three stars and moons divided into two layers, filling the entire sky. It gave people a suffocating feeling of oppression both visually and psychologically, and everything was as red as blood. The weird scarlet blood light rendered the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles.
Higher up, there are thousands of colorful stars crowded together, shining brightly. If you look closely, you can see that these stars also have dark red blood spots, exuding an evil nature.
Yu Huachen's eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
"That's... the Seventh Lord, Yu Huachen?"
In the foggy woods, people appeared from time to time. Someone recognized the man in white in front of him and was immediately surprised. He didn't expect that even such a person would come.
……
"Very good, since you are here too, I can just kill you." Yu Huachen murmured, playing with a bracelet in his hand. It was warm and beautiful, with six extraordinary things connected on it, including bird beaks, scales, eyeballs and animal teeth.
They were all six young supreme beings who had been defeated miserably by Yu Huachen. After their death, a piece of their relics was taken away and used to refine them into such a powerful secret treasure.
Before the Kunlun Ruins secret realm was opened, he ordered people to take this bracelet to Liangzhou, hoping to suppress Gu Chi. However, those people were not strong enough to bring out the true power of the bracelet, and were all killed by Gu Chi.
At this moment, a faint smile appeared on Yu Huachen's lips, and he looked peaceful and calm.
The bracelet he was playing with glowed, pointing to the depths of this ancient land, and sensing Gu Chi's breath.
Not long after, Gu Chi and his group also left the area filled with deathly silence. The tens of thousands of dead bodies and the foul and pungent smell of decay behind them all disappeared.
"I'll never go back to that damn place, even if you kill me!"
Zhang Zhen was still in shock. He walked out of the desperate situation and felt the warm sunshine falling on his body, which made him feel like he had survived a disaster.
Zuo Shiji glanced at him and said, "You know how to seek wealth and honor through risk? If you don't take risks, will good things come to you? With your little courage, you're destined to live a life of mediocrity!"
Zhang Zhen shrugged nonchalantly and said, "I don't have such lofty ambitions. So what if I live a mediocre life? As long as I can live a peaceful life until the end of my life, I'll be thankful."
Gu Chi said, "Then why did you come to Kunlun Ruins? Don't you know that those ancient freaks and those monstrous and peerless geniuses will start a massacre in the end?"
Zhang Zhen said frankly that it was not his own wish to enter Kunlun Ruins. He was dragged in by his master. Otherwise, he would not have gone straight to the relatively peaceful Zhaoyang Realm as soon as he entered.
The group talked as they walked. There were many ancient trees around, with swaying shadows. Ten scarlet suns and thirty-three stars and moons hung high in the sky, casting a brilliant red light.
With a "boom" sound, a shining seal as big as a mountain suddenly fell from the sky and smashed towards Gu Chi and the others.
At the same time, many magical weapons with brilliant divine light rushed out from the surrounding mountains and attacked them.
"boom……"
The earth shook and the mountains trembled, but Gu Chi and the others each held up a protective light curtain and were not hurt at all.
When the smoke and dust cleared, dozens of cultivators walked out from the surrounding mountains. Each of them had a strong aura and stared at Gu Chi and the others with unfriendly expressions.
"What do you want to do?" Zhao Shuo stepped forward to negotiate.
"From what I heard from your conversation just now, it seems that you have found some extraordinary magical object?" a man asked.
"So what?" Zhao Shuo frowned slightly.
"There are still a lot there. If you have the ability, go and get them yourself!" Jiang Chong pointed behind him.
A blond man on the opposite side sneered and said, "You already have it here, so why should we travel all the way here?"
Zhao Shuo's expression suddenly darkened: "You want to rob people?"
The blond man shook his head and said, "No, we're willing to buy it from you."
Gu Chi walked forward, glanced at the group of people opposite, and said with a chuckle, "Looking at your attitude, if we don't sell it, will we be killed?"
Murong Zhixiu also followed up, "You said you're willing to buy from us, so I wonder what bargaining chips you can offer?"
The blond man held up a finger and said, "One thousand gold crystal copper coins."
When these words came out, not only Murong Zhixiu and the other little bandits, but also Gu Chi was stunned. He wanted to buy all the ginseng fruits on them with just one thousand gold crystals and copper coins. How was this different from robbery? He really didn't treat them as human beings at all?
"One thousand gold crystal copper coins is not a small amount. How about we just make friends?" The blond man opposite said arrogantly. His expression and posture seemed to be saying that giving one thousand gold crystal copper coins was already a gift to Gu Chi and the others.
