Chapter 105: Come Back With Me, I

"Heh, it's just that many in the clan were worried about you heading out, kid!"

The old man whom Gu Fei called Gu Qian smiled, his figure flickered, and in an instant, he appeared directly before Gu Fei.

"I've troubled you, Elder, during this time!"

Gu Fei performed the junior's salute to Gu Qian.

"It's nothing. At my age, let alone a year, even ten or twenty years wouldn't see much progress in my cultivation!"

"You, however, are different!"

"In the future, you will surely become a pillar of our clan; we cannot afford any mishaps!"

It was clear that Gu Qian held Gu Fei in high regard and placed great expectations upon him.

This time, he had been ordered to hide by Gu Fei's side, and besides protecting Gu Fei, he was also responsible for observing and evaluating him.

Throughout the journey, Gu Fei's various performances had left Gu Qian feeling very satisfied.

Although Gu Qian occasionally had doubts, wondering why Gu Fei seemed to know things in advance before doing them.

But in the end, he attributed it to Gu Fei being meticulous and steady in his actions.

"It seems that even among those Ancient Races, Gu Fei carries significant weight!"

After being rescued by Gu Fei, Cao Ying's gaze had remained fixed on him.

The tenderness in her eyes held a hint of shock after hearing the conversation between Gu Fei and Gu Qian.

Although the Cao family could not be considered a super clan, relying on their relationship with the Pill Tower, they knew a thing or two about the continent's secrets.

It is said that the Ancient Races do not live on the Dou Qi Continent, but reside in independent spaces.

These Ancient Races almost all possess the power to shake the heavens and the earth.

Even top-tier powers on the continent like the Pill Tower and the Soul Hall are not enough to look at when facing any one of the Ancient Races.

Thinking of this, a trace of loneliness flashed through Cao Ying's eyes.

Gu Fei was becoming increasingly dazzling before her, so dazzling that he almost threatened to consume her.

Could she, herself, ever climb high enough to reach such a heaven-sent genius with a powerful background?

【Cao Ying feels admiration, Emotion Value +40】

【Cao Ying feels shock and loss, Emotion Value +40】

Gu Fei listened to the constant reminders of Emotion Value in his mind and glanced at Cao Ying from the corner of his eye.

"This little enchantress is truly fickle in her emotions."

Gu Fei clicked his tongue secretly in his heart.

Just then, the sky above the crowd was suddenly torn open again.

An old man stepped out from within.

This person was none other than the late-arriving Xuan Kongzi.

"Greetings, Senior!"

When Xuan Kongzi appeared and looked at Gu Qian, his mind tightened abruptly, and he hurried forward to salute.

"Hmm!"

"Judging by today's events, the defensive strength of your Pill Tower still needs strengthening..."

Gu Qian nodded and said indifferently.

"What Senior says is absolutely correct... This incident was indeed my Pill Tower's negligence, actually allowing people from the Soul Hall to commit crimes within the city..."

Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi replied very earnestly, not daring to refute anything.

After saying this, Xuan Kongzi's gaze glanced at Gu Fei standing beside Gu Qian, and he sighed inwardly: "It seems this young man is highly valued even within that Ancient Race; in just two months, two Dou Sheng experts have come in succession to assist him!"

Before long, Xiao Yixian, Venerable Tianhuo, Qing Lin, and the Lion King also arrived at this spot.

"Gu Fei, kid, when do you plan to return to the clan?"

Gu Qian suddenly spoke at this moment, asking a question that Gu Xiong had also asked before.

Gu Fei already had an answer to this question in his heart.

This time, the Soul Hall had lost two Dou Zuns directly and would certainly not let the matter rest.

With the Soul Hall's methods, they would surely investigate in secret, and by then, Gu Fei's whereabouts would naturally be known to the Soul Clan.

If he continued to linger outside, there was no telling what crazy things the Soul Clan might do.

Therefore, Gu Fei's plan was to return to the clan for a while.

And for this trip, he was determined to take Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin back with him; as for Zi Yan...

"Zi Yan, what are your plans for the future? Do you want me to send you back to Dragon Island?"

Gu Fei looked at Zi Yan.

Zi Yan shook her head without hesitation: "Not going back, not going back, if I go back, they'll force me to drink those nasty things again!"

"Big Brother Gu Fei, just let me follow you, I promise I'll be obedient..."

She suddenly grabbed Gu Fei's sleeve, fearing that Gu Fei would leave her behind this time.

"Fine! Fine! I promise you!"

Gu Fei nodded helplessly.

Gu Fei took Xiao Yixian's jade hands and said softly: "We've known each other for so long, it's time to go back and meet the parents!"

"Meet the parents..."

These words made Xiao Yixian freeze.

She felt very nervous.

After all, the parents she was to meet this time were all great powers of the Ancient Races.

However, she did not refuse, and after a brief hesitation, she nodded happily.

"Elder Gu Qian, I have troubled you!"

Having decided, Gu Fei turned his head to look at Gu Qian.

"Haha, you brat, you've been out for over a year, and the old fellows in the clan have been quite concerned; don't forget to pay your respects when you return!"

Gu Qian laughed aloud; he did not express any opinion regarding the matter of Gu Fei and Xiao Yixian.

After speaking, he lightly swept his palm across the void, and a spatial rift appeared.

Upon reaching the Dou Sheng level, one can construct a long-distance Space Wormhole with a casual wave of the hand.

"Senior Xuan Kongzi, Miss Cao Ying, we shall meet again if fate allows!"

After bidding farewell, Gu Fei took Xiao Yixian, Zi Yan, and the others into the spatial rift.

"Meet again if fate allows..."

Cao Ying watched Gu Fei's receding back, feeling secretly sorrowful; she swore to herself in her heart that she must see Gu Fei again in the future. Gu Fei was so dazzling, and she too must continue to work hard.

Along the way, with the help of Gu Qian, a powerhouse at the Dou Sheng level, Gu Fei and his group arrived in the Eastern Region in just half a month.

Not long after leaving the Wormhole, a massive city clearly appeared within their field of vision.

"Up ahead is Ancient Holy City!"

Gu Fei said, pointing to the massive city before them.

Upon seeing this city for the first time, Xiao Yixian and the others were all stunned.

The entire Ancient Holy City was built from pale cyan giant rocks; as time passed, pale green moss clung to the giant rocks, making the entire city look somewhat decayed, and an exceptionally ancient aura permeated from within the city.

"It looks a bit dilapidated here!" Zi Yan muttered; this city was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

Gu Fei smiled slightly and said, "Ancient Holy City was left behind from the ancient times; it is said to have been built by the Dou Di ancestor of our clan, and that light barrier contains a trace of Dou Di power. With this light barrier protecting it, this Ancient Holy City can be described as impregnable."

"The power of a Dou Di!"

Hearing this, everyone gasped; no wonder the pressure coming from the soul grew stronger the closer they got to Ancient Holy City.

"To show reverence for the Dou Di powerhouse, flying is prohibited within a thousand zhang of Ancient Holy City. Let us walk over; otherwise, we will be swatted down from the sky by the pressure."

Having said that, Gu Fei slowly descended to the ground, and the rest of the group followed one after another.
