"Gu Zheng pays his respects to the Kao Mountain King."
Cupping his fists in a salute, Gu Zheng then turned to Xu Jianzhu. He clasped his hands and said, "Lord Xu!"
"There's no need to call me 'Lord' anymore."
Xu Jianzhu raised a hand and smiled. "Gu Zheng, since you've already advanced to the King's Body, we are now peers. You can just call me Xu."
As he spoke, Xu Jianzhu was filled with emotion.
He hadn't forgotten the reward he had promised back when Gu Zheng hadn't even broken through to the Heroic Body Realm.
Afterward, Gu Zheng, along with Huang Dajin, Zhao Danv, Jiang Hao, and the others, came to be known as the "Seven Demon Slayers."
And he certainly hadn't forgotten giving Gu Zheng pointers on how to break through to the King's Body not long ago.
At the time, besides seeing Gu Zheng's potential, Xu Jianzhu had also wanted to build a bond of goodwill.
But he never imagined Gu Zheng would advance to the King's Body so quickly.
