Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

The Shannan Ding was discovered by the Zhong family and placed in the palace?
This news is not bad at all.

As long as it's not destroyed and you know where it is, it's good.

Gu Zheng concentrated and calmed his mind, continuing to sense the whereabouts of Jian Nan Ding.

Aren’t the tripods scattered across Jiannan Road called Jiannan Ding?

And Jiannan Road belongs to the territory of Shang State.

After sensing for a while, I found nothing.

The Emperor's Seal has become invalid?

Gu Zheng checked carefully and confirmed that the embryo of the Human Emperor Seal was fine.

So the distance is too far?
Or is it that Gu Zheng’s cultivation is not good enough?
Of course, there is another possibility that it is blocked or obstructed by some force.

For example, the Jiannan Ding was placed by the royal family and the Yang family of the Shang Dynasty in their ancestral land.

The family’s ancestral land is a spiritual realm, separated from the real world by a space wall.

If Jiannan Ding was in the spiritual realm, he might not be able to sense it.

Gu Zheng tried a few more times but still couldn't find it.

Immediately, he changed his direction to the southernmost Tiannan Road, the territory occupied by the State of Yue.

This time, the whereabouts of Tiannan Ding was successfully sensed!
Gu Zheng corresponded to the ancient map in his mind.

"Not in the capital of Yue, but in a mountain in the wild?"

"very good!"

Gu Zheng's mouth corners raised.

If we were in the royal capital or the royal palace, we would still have some concerns.

After all, the capitals of various countries must have powerful people in the king body realm, and there must be more than one of them.

But in the wild, it's different.

"Take the Tiannan Ding first!"

Gu Zheng made a decision.

He put away the Human Emperor Seal, integrated it into his body, then turned around and left the stone chamber.

Follow the path you came from and return to the riverbed.

"Boom~"

As soon as Gu Zhengren came out, the corridor behind him and the space where the spherical stone chamber was located suddenly collapsed and collapsed automatically.

A large amount of fallen rocks caused the silt to roll and muddied the river water.

swoosh~
Gu Zheng sneaked upwards quickly.

"Wow!"

Water splashed up and scattered everywhere.

Standing above the river, Gu Zheng faced the river breeze, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one there, he was about to rush to the Kingdom of Yue. The Demon-Slaying General Seal in his arms suddenly vibrated.

Take it out and read the information.

A message from Montagne.

"It's important. Return to headquarters immediately!"

...A mission?
Gu Zheng understood clearly.

As the demon-slaying general, he has been able to decide his own time in the past few months. He has gone out to look for treasures, practiced in Qingshi County, and has not taken care of the work of the Demon-Slaying Bureau.

If Ji Tianping was still the commander of Fengzhou Demon Slaying Division, Gu Zheng would have simply ignored this message.

However, now that Meng Taiqi is in charge, he has to go back.

Whoosh!
Adjusting the direction, Gu Zheng flew along the high-altitude route and headed straight for the provincial capital.

……

Zhoucheng.

The Demon Slaying Division headquarters.

"came back."

In the government office, Meng Taiqi finished signing an official letter, put down his pen, picked up a cup of tea, and said while drinking, "The capital has received news that the ninth princess will marry the Dafeng Kingdom in two months, and she needs two accompanying generals. One has been confirmed, and the second one, are you willing to go?"

"I've asked, and the reward for a trip to the Great Wind Country is two Earth Element Pills and a chance to enter the ancestral land for enlightenment. Or, it can be exchanged for equivalent merits."

"This reward is not bad. You can think about it and give an answer within three days."

After saying this, Meng Taiqi slowly sipped his tea.

"I'll take it!" Gu Zheng thought for a few seconds and made a decision.

"Hmm? You accepted it right away? Don't you want to think about it?" Meng Taiqi was stunned. "This mission is not mandatory. I have asked Lord Xu. If you don't want to, there is no hidden danger."

"I've thought about it."

Gu Zheng smiled and said, "Master Meng, don't worry. I know my limits. I'm just a little curious. How did Jing Country and Feng Country form an alliance?"

Although one is in the east and the other is in the west.

But the two royal families are fighting for the dragon!

Gu Zheng had met the Ninth Princess once before.

After he, Zuo Lingfeng, Xiao Xianya, Huang Dajin and others completed the promotion ceremony to the Demon Slayer General at the Demon Slayer Division headquarters, they were provoked and teased by the Fifth Prince and others when they came out. The Ninth Princess was present at the time and was one of the active participants.

How long has it been since she was chosen to become a tool for a marriage alliance?

As for a trip to the Great Wind Country...

Gu Zheng was going to go there anyway!
The Dafeng Kingdom is on the Western Road, and to obtain the Western Tripod, one has to travel a bit.

“I don’t know the details.”

Meng Taiqi pondered, "On the surface, the marriage with Dafeng Kingdom was a decision proposed by the cabinet and agreed by the king. But the reason behind it may be other factors."

After a pause, he waved his hand and smiled, "Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with us. Ping An, you just need to send the person to the capital of Dafeng Kingdom."

"understand!"

Gu Zheng bowed.

"Come to think of how the capital could have thought of keeping you safe?" Meng Taiqi wondered. "To be the escort commander of the marriage team, you must be at the third stage of the heroic body, right?"

Hearing this, Gu Zheng asked, "Master Meng, don't you know?"

"Know what?" Meng Taiqi was stunned.

"Oh, nothing." Gu Zheng clasped his fists and said goodbye, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Well, go ahead." Montaqi waved his hand subconsciously.

It was only after Gu Zheng walked away that he suddenly reacted.

"and many more!"

"You little brat has reached the third stage so quickly?" Meng Taiqi stood up, eyes wide open, and asked in astonishment, "It's only been a short time, and you've already condensed the God Seed?"

The royal capital must have known Gu Zheng's ability before choosing him as the general to escort the marriage team, especially because they consulted him first instead of giving orders directly.

When asking for Gu Zheng's opinion, it was also conveyed through Meng Taiqi.

Before, Montaqi didn’t think much about it.

After this analysis, the new commander was shocked to find that Gu Zheng’s strength had caught up with his!

"At this speed, it won't be long before you surpass me and old man Xie!"

……

Since he was back at the Demon Slaying Division headquarters, Gu Zheng conveniently transferred the soul-eating ants that he had kept in his residence into the Insect Tower.

The Insect Tower is the best place to store strange insects.

Didn't stay in the state capital for long.

Gu Zheng set out again and rushed to the State of Yue.

All the way south.

As a result, as soon as he left Fengzhou, he sensed someone following him.

shuh~
Whoosh!
With a dive, Gu Zheng fell to the ground and entered a dense forest.

"Humph~"

A cold shout suddenly rang out.

hum!
The void suddenly shook as invisible forces enveloped it from all directions, disrupting the space like a quagmire, trapping people in it. Suddenly, with a loud "bang", the phantom of a thunder spear pierced through the void and headed straight for Gu Zheng.

Bang~!

There was a dull thud, followed by the arc of electricity shooting out.

Gu Zheng released the Hun Tian Shield to block the phantom of the Thunder Spear.

The shock wave that burst out materialized and struggled in the quagmire-like air, making a continuous "buzzing" sound.

"Huntian Shield?"

The cold shout rang out again. The person who made the move had an icy voice, accompanied by terrifying pressure. He rang a bell, and drew the power of heaven and earth within a radius of dozens of miles, gathering it into his body.

Buzz~!

The Soul-Reverse Scales spin rapidly and vibrate continuously to resist the invasion of mental attacks.

Gu Zheng was "looking at the shadow" outside, and the five divine seeds started to operate at the same time.

Swish swish swish~!

Bang! Bang! Bang~
Large ripples appeared in the space, and invisible forces collided and impacted each other. In a breath, Gu Zheng gained the upper hand over the power of heaven and earth, forcibly replaced it, and turned it into control.

"Tsk~!"

The knife flashed, tearing through the quagmire-like space like a silk thread and slashing towards the person who came.

"you……"

Swish swish swish~
Boom~!

There were sounds of surprise and anger, mixed with the strange sound of energy flowing through, and finally a loud explosion.

The quagmire-like space suddenly returned to normal.

buzz~
Gu Zheng held up the Hun Tian Shield, with the Chi Yuan Sword and Tian Shuang Sword in his hands at the same time, slashing out with sword energy.

Chi Chi Chi!
The space was like a piece of cloth, split into pieces under the sword energy.

The coverage area is hundreds of feet in radius!

Wherever it passed, black storms of nothingness appeared alternately with the shattered space, wreaking havoc on the surroundings and causing the airflow to become increasingly chaotic.

"Ten Thousand Blades Slaughtering the Sky"!
Ignoring the pressure from the half-king, Gu Zheng gathered most of the power of heaven and earth to bless himself, and resisted the projection of the divine weapon. He held the knife in both hands, slashed out sword auras, and attacked Xiao Xing in reverse!

The one who followed and attacked him was Xiao Xing.

The half-king of the Xiao family had a sullen, solemn and ugly face at this moment, with disbelief in his eyes, and he kept dodging.

Gu Zheng's air-breaking sword intent directly broke his air-staying method.

The pressure from the half-king seemed fake.

The operation of the five divine seeds robbed the heaven and earth of their power.

The last time at the exit of the Ninth Heaven Shadow Realm, Gu Zheng only revealed three divine seeds, but this time, he actually mobilized five.

Xiao Xing lost the battle for the power of heaven and earth.

As a result, the projection of the Thunder Spear could not do anything to Gu Zheng.

The mental attack caused by the vibration of the bell was also blocked.

Is this the third stage of Haoti?

The average peak body is not as good as this!
Xiao Xing was shocked and angry. As he kept retreating and dodging, a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

shuh~
Suddenly, he rushed forward and rushed straight towards Gu Zheng's air-breaking sword.

"Chichi~"

Puff~Puff!
A series of strange noises, accompanied by muffled groans.

Xiao Xing's outer clothes were all torn to pieces, revealing a thin golden armor underneath.

This piece of golden armor actually blocked the slashing of the Sky-Breaking Sword!

Amidst the flashing light, Xiao Xing rushed in front of Gu Zheng. The power of thunder surged wildly around him. He stretched out his palms and slapped Gu Zheng violently.

"Go to hell..."

"Tsk~!"

There was a flash of lightning.

Gu Zheng and Xiao Xing walked past each other one after the other.

"Boom!!"

Xiao Xing clapped out with both hands, and a palm print formed by the power of thunder slapped out hundreds of meters away, smashing trees, boulders, and mountaintops, and everything it passed was turned into debris.

But his body was split into two by a line of blood!
With the center line between the eyebrows, the whole person is split into two halves, left and right.

“Pah~” “Pah~!”

Blood, internal organs, and corpses were scattered all over the ground.

"what!"

A cry of surprise came from the distant hilltop.

The next moment, there was a magical surge, and it quickly faded away.

Swish!
Gu Zheng disappeared in a flash, and rushed after him.

Whoosh! Whoosh!
Call ~
Boom!

Lightning flashed across the sky, over several hills, and caught up with the fleeing figure.

Buzz~!

The five divine seeds worked together, and the gathered power of heaven and earth turned into an invisible pressure, which suppressed the fleeing man. With a plop, he fell to the ground, his face pale, and begged for mercy.

"Mercy, mercy! Sir, please spare me! I was just passing by and saw it accidentally, but don't worry, sir, I promise I will never leak it out, sir, please spare me! Please spare me~!"

The man knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Gu Zheng held the Sky-Slaying Halberd in his hand, expressionless. While maintaining his pressure, he released a Heart Slave Seal, which went straight into the opponent's brain.

"Hmm~!"

The man's body suddenly trembled, and his eyes showed astonishment, horror, anger, and frustration.

"Ah~!!"

He suddenly opened his mouth and roared angrily, all the momentum in the man bursting out.

The second stage of Haoti, Haoti Furnace!
The whole person turned into a furnace, releasing strong heat wave shock waves to resist the oppression that attacked Gu Zheng.

shuh~
The Sky-Slaying Halberd in Gu Zheng's hand turned and swept down horizontally, hitting the man on the head.

Snapped!
There was a muffled sound.

The man felt dizzy and his spirit collapsed. All his resistance just a moment ago disappeared completely.

The whole person was lying on the ground, shaking constantly, with struggle in his eyes.

After a while, all resistance and struggle disappeared, and his eyes were full of obedience and clarity.

Gu Zheng controlled the power of heaven and earth to dissipate at the right time, and put away the Sky-Slaying Halberd at the same time.

"Xiao Dongxuan, meet the master!"

The man half-knelt on the ground, facing Gu Zheng, and saluted respectfully.

"Get up."

Gu Zheng turned around calmly and said, "Let's go back first."

"Yes, Master."

Xiao Dongxuan stood up and followed Gu Zheng.

Call ~
call!
The two of them leaped into the air and returned to the forest where Xiao Xing's body was.

The two broken halves of the corpse were still lying on the ground, and sticky, shiny blood seeped into the soil.

On the half of the face, in each eye, there was a lingering look of fear and horror.

Split in half with one blow!
This is the power of the Heaven-Slaying Halberd.

Xiao Xing relied on the golden armor on his body that could block the sky-breaking sword energy and wanted to fight Gu Zheng in close combat.

Gu Zheng escaped into the void in an instant, and then escaped from the void. The moment he came out, he swung the Sky-Slaying Halberd and split Xiao Xing into two halves from behind.

The golden armor on Xiao Xing's body can block the Sky-Breaking Sword Energy, but it cannot withstand the power of the divine weapon!

When masters fight, the outcome is decided in seconds.

This is the story of the battle between Gu Zheng and Xiao Xing that just happened.

In order to withstand the hunting god's arrows, Xiao Xing wore a golden armor comparable to the pseudo-divine weapon level for self-defense.

But unexpectedly, Gu Zheng possessed the Heaven-Slaying Halberd, a true divine weapon that, although it had lost its spirit and its core was broken, the weapon itself remained intact!
The Hunting God Arrow is just one of the means to attack the enemy.

……

"Take off the golden armor on him."

Looking at the two halves of Xiao Xing's body, Gu Zheng spoke calmly.

"Yes!"

Xiao Dongxuan walked over calmly and took off the golden armor on Xiao Xing.

"How many people from your Xiao family came to kill me?" Gu Zheng asked casually.

"Master, there are only two of us."

Xiao Dongxuan answered as he took off the golden armor from the corpse.

"Only two?"

Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows, then understood.

Xiao Xing is a half-king, and Xiao Dongxuan is also in the second stage of the heroic body.

Under normal circumstances, killing a third-stage Gu Zheng is indeed enough.

What a pity, Gu Zheng has too many backup plans.

"Tell me about your Xiao family's situation." After calming down, Gu Zheng asked again, "Especially the King Body strongmen, how many are there in your Xiao family?"

"Master, there is only one king body left in our Xiao family."

Xiao Dongxuan had already finished peeling off the two halves of the golden armor. He held it in his hand and handed it respectfully to Gu Zheng.

"The only remaining third uncle is about to die."

Ok?
Gu Zheng was surprised, "The only one is about to die? Is his life span coming to an end?"

"Yes!" (End of this chapter)
