Chapter 1056: Chapter 507: I Don’t Get It, But That’s Just How Pure Deer People Are

Indeed, there were no cold arrows to harm him.

But after running a long distance, he suddenly stopped.

Because, at some point, the familiar forest around him disappeared without a trace, leaving only pure darkness.

Even the clansmen who had been following behind him were nowhere to be seen.

In the darkness, a burst of giggling laughter echoed.

...

Zhang Ze jumped down from the tree and picked up the jade token on the ground.

The few Pure Deer People lay on the ground, occasionally twitching, and their entire deer heads had turned blue.

Little Fuji, who came and went without a trace, emerged from the soil, carrying the Black Sword. She prodded here and there with the sword’s hilt.

Soon, she pried out a few small blue mushrooms from these Pure Deer People.

The mushrooms were peculiar, resembling deer heads.

"Tada! Deer Head Mushrooms!"

Fuji held the small mushroom up to Zhang Ze, "Here, eat it, and everything the deer heads know is inside!"

Zhang Ze took the mushroom and, somewhat disdainfully, shoved it into Li’s mouth.

Amidst Li’s angry resistance and wriggling, Zhang Ze obtained useful information.

This matter also involved him.

After just waking up on the Gobi Desert, Zhang Ze sent a wooden kite into the sky. Although inconspicuous, Lord God with his super sensitive skin still detected something unusual.

Then, the white-clad and black-clad people in Valley City were sent to the Gobi Desert to investigate that anomaly suddenly appearing in the sky.

And due to Zhang Ze’s constant shadowless maneuvering on the Gobi, those people had no idea where Zhang Ze was headed, so they mostly ventured deep into the Gobi to search.

The result of this blunder was a shortage of manpower in Valley City.

So one white-clothed person had a sudden inspiration and created these Pure Deer People who could never become deer again to temporarily help them carry out tasks.

Once the situation calmed, they would heartlessly discard these Pure Deer People who could never again become deer.

Utterly evil.

...

Looking at this information, Zhang Ze contemplated for a moment and made a decision.

"Li, you and Su La go back to the tribe first. Use the Spatial Magical Artifact to bring everyone over quickly. Leave behind anything you can’t carry, and then meet me at Valley City."

After saying this, Zhang Ze further explained to Su La.

"There’s nothing in the Gobi Desert. Sooner or later, those Divine Envoys will come back searching and find your tribe. It’s not that I don’t trust you.

"Besides, you know they are not reasonable people. There’s no need to get hurt again for keeping my secret.

"You might as well leave with me first, leaving them an empty village to let them guess on their own."

Zhang Ze patted Li on the head, signaling for her to protect Su La and her tribe.

After Li left, Zhang Ze took out a black jade pendant and handed it to Little Fuji.

"This pendant is a token from Mr. Wei Zhuang. Try to see if you can find his whereabouts using it.

"If you can find him, don’t act rashly. If he appears with symptoms similar to Li’s..."

"Then use those jellyfish! Steady him, and wait for you to come!

"Got it!"

Little Fuji shook her body, and a sound of swishing water came from within. It was unclear how many jellyfish she had caught.

After shaking for a while, Fuji suddenly asked, "By the way, are you sure you’ll be fine going alone? Do you need me to take a small part with you?"

Zhang Ze shook his head, "No worries. Valley City is empty now, and even if some black-clad remain, I can easily handle them alone."

After saying this, he gave a thumbs-up to Fuji, signifying that the plan remains unchanged, then transformed into the appearance of the Pure Deer People’s leader, holding the jade token, and headed alone toward Valley City.

After Zhang Ze left, Fuji played around with Brother Feng’s Black Sword and the legendary uncle’s pendant, pondering where to hang the pendant.

However, as she was fiddling, the pendant suddenly floated on its own. Then, under Little Fuji’s surprised gaze, it flew to the Sword Guard of the Black Sword.

The later-added string vanished, and the pendant itself fused with the Sword Guard of the Black Sword.

The Black Sword, originally sharp but unreflective, became even more profound, like a True Dragon emerging from a dark river.

The Black Sword gently floated up, its tip pointing straight in the direction of Valley City.

Wei Zhuang was there too...

"Yay! Traveling the same path as Zhang Ze! Little Sword, let’s go!"

Joyful, Fuji retracted the Black Sword back into her body, carefully hid it, and then chased Zhang Ze’s trail, running toward Valley City.

...

Valley City.

Within the highest ornate hall, it was quietly still.

The white-clad and black-clad who guarded this city had long since left.

Now in this place, there was only one Immortal dressed in a colorful robe playing a zither in the hall.

Behind her floated a flawless white jade sword.
