Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 138: People’s Reactions [2]

"Hahaha! God is helping me! God is helping me!"

A burst of crazy laughter echoed through the valley, breaking the tranquility of the mountains.

With his hair messy like a chicken coop, Zeiss rushed out from his slightly dark cave like the wind.

His eyes no longer had the lazy and sleepy look they had before, instead they were flashing with greed, madness and excitement, and the muscles on his face were trembling slightly from being too excited.

He laughed wantonly and said, "A Yue always complained to me that she learned the wrong spell. Now, as long as we capture and kill Junior Brother Li Zhi, A Yue can learn a new spell! This way, A Yue will definitely be happy!"

His voice was full of madness and joy, as if he had already seen A Yue's happy expression.

As he spoke, his figure quickly ran towards the outside of Xiaoyao Mountain, passing through the mountains in an instant. His speed was so fast that it was astonishing.

Behind him, a cloud of dust rose up, forming a long tail. He was still mumbling, "Junior Brother Li Zhi, I'm here to find you. I'll lend you my head! Don't blame me for being so cruel. It's better to give it to me than to others..."

.... ...

Xiaoyao Mountain, Punishment Peak.

In the punishment hall that makes all the disciples of Xiaoyao Mountain feel nervous.

The Punishment Elder's face was as gloomy as water, and his whole face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. His eyes were wide open and he looked angry, as if there was a raging fire burning in his eyes. At this moment, he was obviously very angry.

He paced back and forth on the spot, his steps heavy and quick, each step seemed to carry endless anger, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"Since the founding of Xiaoyao Mountain, there has never been such a rebellious person! Killing the master? What was he thinking? How dare he do that!" The Punishment Elder said almost roaring.

"This is the biggest scandal in Xiaoyao Mountain since ancient times! I will personally capture that cruel man! I will make him experience all 108 tortures of my Punishment Peak!"

The Punishment Elder's grim and cold tone echoed throughout the entire hall, making this already depressing Punishment Hall even more depressing.

Even the several deacons of the Punishment Peak below couldn't help but shiver.

They lowered their heads, their bodies trembling slightly, and were trying their best to resist the terrifying pressure emanating from the elder.

At this moment, Gu Wangjing suddenly took a step forward.

The light footsteps sounded particularly clear in this silent and depressing punishment hall.

Everyone looked over there in unison, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion, they really didn't expect Gu Wangjing to stand up at this time.

Everyone was secretly wondering, isn't he afraid of offending the Punishment Elder at this time?

Gu Wangjing leaned forward slightly and said respectfully to the Punishment Elder: "Master, let me go this time..."

After these words were spoken, not only the other deacons looked puzzled, but even the Punishment Elder frowned.

"Why?" asked the Punishment Elder in a deep voice.

"To capture a new disciple, you don't need to do it yourself, Master. I can do it for you."

Gu Wangjing lowered his head, as if waiting for his master's decision.

Although his tone was still calm, it carried a subtle hint of urgency.

The Punishment Elder frowned and looked at Gu Wangjing, as if he was thinking about something.

The hall fell silent again, with only the sound of people's gentle breathing interweaving in the air.

After a long while, the Punishment Elder slowly spoke in a low and majestic voice: "Since you are willing, then I will leave it to you. Remember! You must bring back that rebellious evildoer!"

"Yes! Disciple, obey!"

Gu Wangjing responded with a fist clasped, his voice strong and firm. At the moment of response, he also felt relieved in his heart.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, the Punishment Elder nodded slightly, then turned and left.

The other deacons followed suit, their footsteps echoing in the hall and gradually fading away.

When Gu Wangjing was the only one left in the spacious hall, he slowly took out a teacup from his arms, an ordinary teacup.

However, when Gu Wangjing turned the teacup over, he saw a "one" engraved on the base of the teacup.

Gu Wangjing looked at the word "one" and said in a voice that only he could hear: "A glimmer of hope? Is this why you came to me at that time... Well, since you want this glimmer of hope, then I will give it to you!"

 …

A strong evil aura and lingering smell of blood filled every inch of the surrounding space.

This is a demon's nest.

No, it should be said that it was once a demon's nest.

Because at this time this demon nest had been completely wiped out.

The monsters that once bared their fangs and claws have now turned into lifeless and breathless corpses, lying crookedly on the ground.

Their bodies lay scattered, twisted into strange shapes, some even piled on top of each other, as if telling us that they had experienced a brutal battle.

At the end of the demon's nest, a figure was sitting cross-legged and meditating.

He was covered in blood, and the dark red blood had dried on his clothes, forming shocking spots.

His aura was sharp and terrifying, as if he had walked out of a sea of blood.

Suddenly, an urgent shout came from outside: "Brother! Something big has happened!"

The sound was like a thunderclap, shattering the little tranquility that had just been restored in the demon's nest.

Tang Hu suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes shot out a sharp light like a blade.

A figure rushed in hurriedly, and Tang Hu's eyes fell on the person who came. This was the junior brother who followed him out to gain experience.

Seeing that his junior fellow brother was in a hurry but did not look panicked, and even had a hint of excitement, Tang Hu knew that he was not in danger.

Then, the gleam in his eyes faded, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

The junior brother raised a letter in his hand and said, "Xiao Wei sent me a letter... There is an order from the Immortal Sect..."

Tang Hu stood up, took the letter, opened it, and when he saw the contents, his breathing suddenly became rapid.

The junior fellow student at the side said, "Brother, haven't you always wanted to practice the Five Elements and Five Armor Technique? This is a good opportunity!"

Tang Hu carefully read the contents of the letter again and again, then slowly put it down, his face complicated and he said nothing.

Seeing that Tang Hu didn't say anything, the junior brother seemed to realize that something was wrong, so he asked, "What's wrong, senior brother?"

Tang Hu looked at the familiar name on the letter - Li Zhi.

In fact, Tang Hu no longer had the complicated emotions he had when they first met Li Zhi.

I still remember the first time I heard the name Li Zhi, it was when I heard that he had actually obtained the permission of the ancestor to practice magic together. At that moment, Tang Hu, who had been practicing diligently, couldn't help but feel jealous.

So when the two sides met for the first time, Tang Hu couldn't help but ridicule Li Zhi a few times, and they subsequently became enemies because of this.

However, in the subsequent exchanges between the two sides and Tang Hu's careful observation, he discovered that Li Zhi was actually a diligent practitioner like him.

Tang Hu saw Li Zhi's concentration and persistence in training, and his repeated efforts to improve his strength.

Gradually, Tang Hu's view of Li Zhi changed drastically.

Tang Hu no longer held the same opinion about Li Zhi as before. Even when he later went to Li Zhi to spar with him, it was really just a pure sparring match.

After a long while, Tang Hu sighed and said, "I won't get involved in this matter..."

"Why?" Tang Hu's junior brother couldn't help but shout.

He couldn't understand why Tang Hu gave up such a good opportunity when it was right in front of him.

The scene of his first fight with Li Zhi flashed through Tang Hu's mind. At that time, Li Zhi was undoubtedly crushed by him. However, there was no fear in Li Zhi's eyes at that time, only ruthlessness and determination.

Tang Hu shook his head, his expression unclear, and said, "We can't take him down!"

The junior fellow was stunned upon hearing this.
