After looking at everyone, Peerless Hermit smiled and nodded when he saw that no one was injured.
"That's right. He left with all his hair and tail, and returned with all his hair and tail. It met my requirements."
Hearing this, everyone felt warm in their hearts.
Peerless Hermit always puts their safety first. Every time she comes back to the Cloud Sea, she only cares about their bodies and nothing else matters. This makes them extremely touched.
"Gu Sheng, what can you gain from this trip?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng nodded and turned to look at Shi Lou.
After receiving his look, Shi Lou pushed his hand, and the man was immediately pushed to Peerless Hermit.
"Peerless Hermit, this is the dead soldier of Son of King Luo Qin. We left one alive and brought it back to you specially."
After looking the man up and down, all the smiles on Peerless Hermit's face disappeared.
"No wonder they are so confident. They have already trained the dead soldiers to this point."
"It is said that they have trained a large number of dead soldiers. This time we only killed a dozen or so. I don't know if they were all killed. Moreover, Luo Qin is still recruiting troops. It is said that they will train a group of dead soldiers."
"King Luo That old thief has a lot of thoughts. Naturally, he won't let Luo Qin take out all the dead soldiers at once. You only killed some of them, but this is enough. As long as it can knock down the Zhenhu, it will be good."
As he said that, Peerless Hermit raised his hand and grabbed it. The man's steps moved forward uncontrollably, and Peerless Hermit soon grabbed him by the collar.
"You guys go back and rest first, and I'll deal with him."
After the words fell, Peerless Hermit took the man and left.
Seeing the two people's backs disappearing quickly, Gu Sheng turned to everyone and said, "Let's all take a rest."
"Brother Sheng, can he still be alive?"
"Don't worry, Peerless Hermit will put his life in our hands."
With Gu Sheng's words, Shi Lou finally felt relieved and turned around and walked towards his courtyard.
It was a rare break and everyone relaxed.
After meditating, Gu Sheng fell asleep directly.
During this sleep, he slept for a day and a night, and when he woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Looking at the sunshine outside, Gu Sheng got up and went out.
"Brother Sheng, you have slept for so long, how did you sleep?"
Looking at Er Gou, Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.
"Very good, how about you?"
"I sleep for a shorter period of time than you, but it's rare to sleep so soundly. If it were Stone Village, I guess I could sleep for a few days."
"Don't worry, Liu Ping has gone. We haven't communicated with Third Elder yet. We will return to Stone Village after the matter here is settled."
Er Gou's eyes lit up with joy when he learned that he could return to Stone Village.
"Great! I'm going to tell Shi Lou the good news!"
Seeing his excited look, Gu Sheng couldn't help but curl up his lips.
At this time, Hong Mei came over and said seriously, "Gu Sheng, my master has something to do with you."
Knowing what was going on, Gu Sheng nodded, and the two walked towards Peerless Hermit together.
Before he arrived, Gu Sheng felt a strong evil atmosphere mixed with an uncomfortable aura.
"Is this the aura emanating from that person?"
"Yes, he is worthy of being a dead soldier. Even though my master tried his best, he still remained silent. Now he only has half a life left."
"They cultivated it carefully. I have probably guessed the consequences. Let's go and take a look first."
The two of them strode forward. Peerless Hermit felt their breath and raised his right hand. The door immediately did not open.
Seeing that it was full of blood, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Didn't say anything?"
"There is no need for him to say anything now. I already know what you want to know. Gu Sheng. Call everyone and I will tell you one by one."
Gu Sheng nodded, flicked his fingertips, and a wisp of breath flew out. Passers-by sensed it and rushed here immediately.
In less than a moment, everyone gathered here.
Smelling the smell of blood, everyone's expressions were extremely serious.
After looking at them, Peerless Hermit said, "The reason why King Luo's dead soldiers are invulnerable is because they wear soft armor made by Mystic Iron."
As she spoke, she tore off the remaining strips of cloth on the man's body with such force that she tore off a piece of skin from the man's body.
"Did you see it? It's this kind of dark iron soft armor that makes you invulnerable when you put it on your body. But King Luo's methods are very poisonous. The soft armor he made will last a lifetime if you put it on, and you will die if you take it off. In other words, if you want to get rid of his control, you can only die."
Looking at the black iron on that man's body, Gu Sheng frowned.
"Householder, when we killed those dead soldiers, we found that iron chains fell from their bodies. Is it this dark iron soft armor that fell off?"
"Yes, this thing is a piece of soft armor when worn on the body. When taken off, it becomes an iron chain. Because when a person dies, this thing cannot fall into other people's hands, so it will look like an iron chain. Even if it is picked up, it will have no effect."
"So this thing traps their bodies and they can only fight to the death?"
"Yes, in addition to this, King Luo also has more sinister methods."
Speaking of this, Peerless Hermit took out a dagger and stabbed the man's shoulder hard, causing a stream of blood to spurt out instantly.
"Feel it and see if there is something wrong in his blood. This is new. Your feelings should be stronger."
After hearing this, everyone felt it seriously.
After a long while, Gu Sheng frowned tightly.
"Their bodies are cultivated with herbs, so they are immune to all poisons, but will they corrode themselves?"
After hearing what Gu Sheng said, Peerless Hermit nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, that's it. Their bodies are cultivated with herbs. Since they can eat independently, they have been living on herbs, so they have developed such a body. They are immune to all poisons. Poison masters are like ants in their eyes, but the corrosive effect of herbs on themselves is real. But depending on the situation, King Luo will give them antidotes every once in a while, otherwise they won't be able to endure it."
"I see, but they have suffered so much in the Luo family, why are they still so loyal?"
After Lan Yao asked what he said, everyone was a little confused.
Peerless Hermit glanced at the man again, and then said calmly, "Because they are dead soldiers, they have been bound by the word "loyalty" since they were young. This is the mission they must complete when they are born. It has been embedded in the bone marrow, and they cannot forget it or get rid of it. Even if they get into my hands, they will not say a word more, but it doesn't matter. As long as we can study how the dead soldiers come from, we can naturally develop a method to crack it."
"Peerless Hermit, do you have any idea now?"
"I have some, but some things still need repeated experiments, Gu Sheng, and there is still something you need to do personally."
Hearing the spring breeze, Gu Sheng immediately stood up straight.
"Bushi, just tell me what you need me to do. I will definitely fulfill my mission."
"The dark iron soft armor on these dead soldiers is difficult to break. The reason why you were able to kill them this time is because their number is small. Once the number increases, the consequences will not be like this, so we have to break their soft armor and remove half of their defenses, and then we can easily kill them."
"How to break the soft armor on their bodies?"
"The software on them is made by mid-grade Mystic Iron. If you want to break it, you can only find high-level black iron to fight violence with violence. In front of high-grade Mystic Iron, the software on them is vulnerable."
"Bushi, where should we go to find high-level black iron?"
"You go to Kunming Mountain to find Wang Chunshi. He controls the lifeblood of the party. The sect is located on Mystic Iron Mountain. The most indispensable thing is this thing, but he is a weird person. Not everyone can catch his eye. I can only recommend you and let you enter Kunming Mountain. The rest is up to you."
Hearing this, Hong Mei was a little anxious.
"Master, what if we can't see him and can't find Xuan Tie?"
"Then we can only use stupid methods and sacrifice more lives to get rid of these dead soldiers."
Knowing that human lives would be exchanged for the lives of these dead soldiers, Gu Sheng stepped forward and said, "Peerless Hermit, I want to try."
Looking at him, Peerless Hermit's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
"Okay, you go with my token. I guarantee that you can enter Kunming Mountain, but you have to walk the rest of the way on your own. If he is willing to give it, you can give it as much as you want. If he is not willing, don't get involved with him too much. He is an extremely weird person and his methods are extremely vicious. Don't offend him."
Peerless Hermit tossed it casually, and the token fell into Gu Sheng's hand.
Holding the token, Gu Sheng thought for a long time and then asked, "Layman, can their sect be comparable to ours Heavenly Cang Sect?"
"Many years ago, we coexisted. There is no sect that is more powerful, because they are unique and not restricted by any sect. We have some intersections, but we are all based on the principle of peaceful coexistence and not offending each other. Now that we have fallen, they have always been firm. I can't guarantee whether they will still follow the previous principles, so let's give it a try."
Understanding what it meant, Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
"She, we are going to Kunming Mountain, what should we do with the Luo family?"
"Don't worry, Hong Mei has already told me the situation over there. I'm going to start with Luo Qin first and let King Luo have a taste of what it's like for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person to someone else. I'll confront him after you come back."
"You want to go out in person?"
"No, the poison on my body has not been released yet, so I cannot confront them face to face. Otherwise, if that old thief Saintly Hermit comes, I will definitely die in his hands. I am sending people to do this. Don't worry, they have dead soldiers, and I also have secret guards."
Gu Sheng was relieved when he learned that Peerless Hermit had a backup plan.
"Okay, let's go to Kunming Mountain first."
"Go ahead. Before you go, help me bring these things to Stone Village and give them to Third Elder and my men. They will know what to do after seeing them."
Taking the things, Gu Sheng nodded.
Just as he turned to leave, Hong Mei grabbed him.
"Gu Sheng, are we leaving today?"
Looking at her, Gu Sheng could clearly see the reluctance in her eyes.
"There's no rush. Let's tidy things up today and we'll have time to hit the road tomorrow."
Hearing his answer, Hong Mei immediately beamed.
"Master, we won't leave until tomorrow. Can I drink some more of your wine tonight?"
Looking at her, Peerless Hermit's eyes were a little more doting.
"Okay, you girl is the most greedy for the wine I brew. I already knew you would tell me when you came back. I prepared it for you early. Gu Sheng. I will prepare a banquet tonight and everyone will come."
After everyone responded respectfully, they turned and left.
After leaving the door, Bai Yu touched Gu Sheng's shoulder.
"Peerless Hermit is preparing a dinner here, won't you stay to help?"
Turning around and taking a look, Gu Sheng said with a smile, "It's enough to have Hong Mei and Fan Sect here. Let them spend more time alone, and we won't get involved."
"So you left a day late just to make Hong Mei happy?"
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows. "That's right, do you have any objections?"
"No, no, it's my honor to do something for your love."
Looking at Bai Yu's playful smile, Gu Sheng suddenly said, "When we come back from Kunming Mountain, we will accompany you back to Bai Yu faction."
Hearing this, Bai Yu was obviously excited.
"Are you serious?"
"Well, I have told Peerless Hermit about King Luo's plan to deal with Bai Yu's faction. After the matter is resolved, not only will we go, but Heavenly Cang Sect will also send people there. We will make sure that White Cloud Sect is safe and sound."
Knowing that Peerless Hermit also secretly contributed, Bai Yu was extremely grateful.
"Why didn't you say this earlier? If you had known, I would have thanked the layman in person just now."
"This is what Peerless Hermit meant. She was afraid that you would be burdened, so she didn't say anything. You have helped so much here. Peerless Hermit sent someone to give your father a lot of good things. You will know it when you go back this time."
"Why don't I know anything about this?"
"I never told you before, but now I think I'm going to the White Cloud Sect when I come back. It's time for you to know, so I'm telling you."
"You guy, I'm not an outsider, you should have told me earlier! No, I must say thank you to Peerless Hermit in person tonight."
"Then it's up to you, but don't put too much burden on it. You deserve this."
"Actually, I didn't help much. On the contrary, Peerless Hermit gave me a lot of benefits. Since I followed you and helped Peerless Hermit, I got a few secret books here. My cultivation level has improved a lot, much faster than what I have experienced in previous years. Logically speaking, I should be grateful, but I didn't expect to get so much extra reward."
Saying that, Bai Yu sighed softly.
Seeing him like this, Gu Sheng raised his hand and gave him a hammer.
"Peerless Hermit is just afraid that you will be like this, so that's why I never told you. If you show it, wouldn't she be the one who is burdened? Everything is a good thing, don't cause any unpleasantness."
Understanding what he meant, Bai Yu nodded immediately.
"You're right, everything is a good thing. I can't affect people's moods so easily. Don't worry, I know what to do."
Seeing his serious look, Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go back and pack our things first. After tasting Peerless Hermit's fine wine tonight, we will set off early tomorrow morning. Then we will go back to Stone Village first, and then go to Kunming Mountain."
