The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2861 Gu Qingfeng

Zheng Tuo looked at the old man in front of him, his heart filled with turmoil.

He had already guessed the other party's identity, and with the other party arriving in such a manner, things were clearly not going to be simple.

"Young friend, it seems you have taken something from my clan. Please hand it over." The elder of the mythical ancient clan spoke calmly, without making a move against Zheng Tuo.

"Senior, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a complete stranger to you, so how could I have taken anything from you? Please enlighten me."

Zheng Tuo naturally wouldn't admit to this.

The Golden Halberd has been refined by the Golden Emperor's Dao Body, and the two are perfectly matched. He will absolutely not hand over the Golden Halberd.

The elder of the Mythical Ancient Clan looked at Zheng Tuo and continued, "I am Gu Qingfeng, a member of the Mythical Ancient Clan. Young friend, you have taken my clan's most treasured Golden Fangtian Halberd. Hand it over now, and I will not make things difficult for you. If you do not hand it over, I will have no choice but to take action."

Gu Qingfeng is very reasonable.

In reality, Gu Qingfeng had to be reasonable because he didn't know if Zheng Tuo had any powerful figures backing him.

Gu Qingfeng was merely a first-level Wall Breaker. To many, Gu Qingfeng was naturally a high and mighty Wall Breaker. In reality, Gu Qingfeng himself knew that within the Wall Breaker group, he was nothing.

There are many barrier breakers in the Primordial Immortal Realm, and their strength is extremely powerful. Gu Qingfeng is just the last one.

and so.

He was exceptionally polite to everyone, even those who were younger than him.

He didn't want to have any conflicts with anyone, because one careless move could bring disaster to the mythical ancient clan.

The mythical ancient clan has very few members left, and if they are targeted, they may face annihilation.

"I don't know what you're talking about, senior." Zheng Tuo didn't want to hand over the Golden Halberd.

Upon seeing this, Gu Qingfeng immediately opened his palm.

Suddenly.

An image appeared on his palm, showing Zheng Tuo refining the Golden Fangtian Halberd in his Golden Emperor Dao Body.

"this!"

Zheng Tuo was completely astonished!

He never expected that Gu Qingfeng would actually see him refining the Fangtian Halberd with the Golden Emperor Dao Body.

He racked his brains, thinking about how to respond.

However, after thinking for a long time, it seemed that there was only one way: to take it by force.

Now that Da Long is by his side, as long as Da Long makes a move, he will surely be able to suppress Gu Qingfeng and then escape from this place.

I have already made the worst-case scenario plan in my mind.

brush!
Da Long, sporting a shiny bald head, appeared beside Zheng Tuo.

"Boss!"

Da Long is over two meters tall, with a full beard and a bald head; he doesn't look like someone to mess with.

Gu Qingfeng's heart stirred upon seeing the appearance of the giant dragon.

The Mythical Battlefield is very special; in this world, many Barrier Breakers cannot descend in their true forms.

Those who can descend upon the mythical battlefield in their true form are all extraordinary and powerful beings.

In other words, he might not be a match for this bald man.

Gu Qingfeng remained calm even as he thought about this.

"It seems that you do not intend to return my clan's most treasured Golden Halberd. If so, I think you will be unable to leave this mythical battlefield."

"What do you mean by this?"

"I have no other skills, but the only one I possess is the ability to control the entrance portal to the Mythical Battlefield. If you do not return the Golden Fangtian Halberd, you will not be able to leave. Moreover, I will join forces with several Breakers from the Undying Mountain to take action. I believe that even with the protection of this guardian by your side, you will inevitably be defeated and die. And the Undying Mountain will likely be very interested in you."

Gu Qingfeng had known Zheng Tuo's identity as a member of the Sword Sect for a long time.

This is also why he didn't directly break ties with them.

Zheng Tuo understood the meaning behind Gu Qingfeng's words. It seemed that this guy had been following him and observing him for a long time, but he hadn't noticed because of his strength.

How to do?
If Gu Qingfeng really brings those wall-breaking individuals from Undying Mountain to target him, he will surely die.

But he was unwilling to hand over the golden halberd.

The Golden Emperor's Dao Body and the Golden Fangtian Halberd have been perfectly fused together. Forcibly separating the two will inevitably damage the Golden Emperor's Dao Body.

His mind was racing, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

Things have come to this point, and we absolutely cannot go to war with them.

He also believed that what Gu Qingfeng said was true. This guy could indeed control the entrance and exit portals of the Mythical Battlefield. That was why the Undying Mountain did not kill him. Only by keeping him alive could they freely enter and exit the Mythical Battlefield.

Oh, right, Mount Undying!

Zheng Tuo keenly sensed something.

He looked at Gu Qingfeng, and after a moment of thought, gave an order to Da Long beside him.

Da Long immediately took action, sealing off this space to prevent their conversation from being transmitted out.

“Senior Gu Qingfeng, the Golden Fangtian Halberd of your Mythical Ancient Clan is indeed in my hands.” Zheng Tuo was the first to admit this.

Gu Qingfeng did not respond and continued to listen to what Zheng Tuo had to say.

"But I don't want to return the Golden Halberd to you."

Gu Qingfeng still did not respond, but continued to listen calmly.

"I can exchange something with you, senior. I believe that this thing is ten thousand times more important to you than the Golden Halberd."

"What is it?" Gu Qingfeng finally spoke.

“I can help your Mythical Ancient Clan break free from the control of the Undying Mountain. From now on, your Mythical Ancient Clan will no longer be a vassal of the Undying Mountain. Your Mythical Ancient Clan will have a bright future and will not be controlled by anyone. Not only that, I am willing to form an alliance with you, senior. If your Mythical Ancient Clan is in any danger, I am willing to help you. What do you say, senior?”

Zheng Tuo's words hit Gu Qingfeng's sore spot.

Originally, the ancient mythical race lived peacefully and harmoniously in the mythical ancient city. Because of the mythical battlefield, they could collect tolls, making their life quite prosperous and wonderful.

Until the appearance of the Undying Mountain, those guys were extremely domineering. They directly told him that they wanted to occupy the Mythical Ancient City, and if he did not agree, they would wipe out his Deep Sea Ancient Clan.

Ultimately, he had no choice but to compromise. Now, upon hearing that someone could help him, he was so excited that he almost lost his composure.

however.

After he calmed down, he looked at Dao Shisi in front of him, feeling quite hesitant.

"What means do you have to help my clan? Just him?" Gu Qingfeng pointed to the large dragon beside Zheng Tuo.

“It’s not just Da Long. Since you know my identity, you should understand that if I were to cause trouble, the Blade Sect would intervene. Moreover, I am very familiar with the people of the Sword Sect. Given the relationship between the Sword Sect and the Undying Mountain, they will definitely help as well. At that time, the Blade Sect and the Sword Sect will join forces, along with you and Da Long, and we will surely be able to wipe out the Undying Mountain in one fell swoop. What do you think, Senior?”

The Undying Mountain must be wiped out.

Because he had a deep-seated hatred for the immortal Yamamoto, annihilating the immortal Yamamoto was part of his plan.

Being able to bring in Gu Qingfeng as a helper and at the same time earn a supreme innate treasure, the Fangtian Halberd, is undoubtedly an excellent thing.

Gu Qingfeng remained calm in the face of Zheng Tuo's words, but his heart was already wavering.

He harbored resentment towards the Undying Mountain for a long time. If he hadn't broken through and become a barrier-breaker back then, the entire mythical ancient race would probably have become slaves of the Undying Mountain, or even more terrifying experimental subjects.

Now that someone can help him, and it sounds promising, he is naturally tempted.

But this is no small matter.

The Undying Mountain is still a formidable force, even if it's weakened; to completely eradicate it, a long-term plan is needed.

He couldn't fully believe Dao Shisi's words, which came from a half-step Breakthrough cultivator.

If the sect leader of the Blade Sect or the Sword Sect had said these words to him, he might have believed them to some extent.

"How can you convince me that what you say is true? Right now, you are merely a half-step Breakthrough. Even if you have some talent, talent is ultimately just talent."

Faced with this moment that could change the fate of the entire clan, Gu Qingfeng chose to respond cautiously.

“You have no choice. You know this is your only chance. Only by cooperating with me can the Mythical Ancient Clan be completely freed from the suppression of the Undying Mountain. If you miss this opportunity, no one will be willing to confront the Undying Mountain head-on for your Mythical Ancient Clan in the future.”

Zheng Tuo tried to persuade Gu Qingfeng with these words, but unfortunately, Gu Qingfeng was not buying it.

“Young friend, you should offer some real leverage instead of spouting these baseless accusations to try and convince me that you have the ability to help me,” Gu Qingfeng replied calmly to Zheng Tuo.

"To be honest, I have a deep grudge against the Undying Mountain. You and I are on the same side, so you don't need to worry about my intentions. I'm not lying to you. I'm serious about targeting the Undying Mountain."

"You have a grudge against Undying Mountain, and many others do too. The real question is, what means do you have to target Undying Mountain, and what ability do you have to get the Blade Sect to take action against it? As far as I know, the Blade Sect and Undying Mountain have no enmity, so there is no possibility of a fight to the death."

Gu Qingfeng naturally wanted to target and destroy the Undying Mountain in order to find his mythical ancient clan and regain its new life.

However, even though the Undying Mountain had fought an epic battle with the Sword Sect, it still possessed its own strength.

Moreover, there is an alliance behind the Undying Mountain. If the alliance behind the Undying Mountain were to take action, even if the Sword Sect and the Blade Sect joined forces, they might not be able to destroy the Undying Mountain.

Gu Qingfeng has been busy all these years.

He also secretly investigated the Undying Mountain, trying to find information about it in order to ensure that he would have a chance to destroy it in the future.

Based on the information he gathered, the Undying Mountain was not an easy force to target.

Zheng Tuo understood Gu Qingfeng's meaning. It seemed that Gu Qingfeng would not take action against the Undying Mountain unless he was absolutely certain, because for Gu Qingfeng, he only had one chance.

If Gu Qingfeng directly turns against the Undying Mountain and ultimately wins, that's fine. But if he doesn't win, the Mythical Ancient Clan will inevitably be purged, and at that time, the entire Mythical Ancient Clan will be completely annihilated.

Zheng Tuo pondered for a moment, then said, “Senior Gu Qingfeng, since you have been monitoring me all along, you should know that there is a woman by my side named Jiu Li’er.”

Gu Qingfeng nodded. "Jiuli'er is the personal disciple of the Earth God. This matter has spread throughout the entire Primordial Immortal Realm. It seems that the Earth God must have taken the initiative to spread the word that he would fight to the death with anyone who dares to touch his personal disciple."

"So, senior, do you know the methods of the Earth God?"

"Of course I know that the Earth God broke through the barrier by using the Dao of Array. He was a self-breakthrough, with extremely powerful strength. No one wanted to be his enemy because there was a rumor in the Primordial Immortal Realm that the Earth God's Great World was an Immortal Array, and it had the ability to exchange with any strong person one-on-one."

"That's right, there are indeed such legends about the Earth God, so no one dares to provoke him easily."

"What do you want to say?"

"What I'm trying to say should already be clear to the seniors."

"You mean, can you ask the Earth God for help?"

"The relationship between the Earth God and the Undying Mountain is not good. Although there is no great enmity between them, there are frictions. Given my relationship with Jiuli'er, it should not be a problem to ask the Earth God for help later."

Gu Qingfeng remained silent.

"With the powerful figures from the Blade Sect and the Sword Sect, plus the Great Dragon and Earth God by my side, I believe that with the support of so many powerful individuals, helping our senior besiege the Undying Mountain and helping the Mythical Ancient Clan escape the clutches of the Undying Mountain should not be a problem."

Zheng Tuo showed his sincerity.

Because that's what he really thought.

He had long been planning and collecting information about the Undying Mountain, but now it was just a coincidence that he encountered Gu Qingfeng, who was also targeting the Undying Mountain.

Gu Qingfeng was full of hesitation.

If he could truly exchange his golden halberd for the freedom of the mythical ancient race, he would be more than willing.

But this matter is ultimately about the survival of the Mythical Ancient Clan. If he doesn't resist now, even if the Mythical Ancient Clan is oppressed by the Undying Mountain, at least they can develop in an orderly manner. Perhaps a thousand years later, the Mythical Ancient Clan will be able to produce a second Breaker.

With two Wall Breakers in charge, the Undying Mountain should think twice.

But how difficult it is for a Wall Breaker to be born. As a Wall Breaker, he clearly understands that he also encountered various adventures, went through countless hardships, and finally relied on luck to break through and become the Wall Breaker he is today.

It would be extremely difficult for the ancient mythological race to produce a second barrier-breaker.

Not only that.

Will the Undying Mountain truly allow its mythical ancient race to produce a second Breaker?

He thought about it carefully. The Undying Mountain was already severely weakened, and it would never watch its mythical ancient clan grow stronger.

Thinking about this, he clearly understood that cooperating with Jian Shisi might be his only chance.

But he couldn't reveal it, because if the Undying Mountain found out about this, they would definitely take action against the Mythical Ancient Clan ahead of time.

"Young friend Dao Shisi, your sincerity is insufficient."

"Not enough sincerity?" Zheng Tuo looked at Gu Qingfeng, who was beginning to waver. "Senior, if I can break through to the level of a Wall Breaker, I wonder if this sincerity is enough?"

"You've broken through to the Breaker level!" Gu Qingfeng looked at Zheng Tuo with great surprise.

This person has a deep grudge against the Undying Mountain. If he can break through to the level of a Wall Breaker, he will definitely be a great help.

He seemed to be deep in thought, considering the pros and cons, and seeking the safest approach to plan the matter.
