Chapter 12: First Stop, the Black-Corner Region!

Gu Fei and Xun Er, both of them are talented youths of the Ancient Clan; the two of them are almost the targets pursued by the young people of the Ancient Clan.

Many of those young women who admire Gu Fei have the thought of following in Gu Fei's footsteps the moment they hear he is leaving.

Hoping to be able to obtain Gu Fei's love.

If only they could accompany him for a leg of the journey, how wonderful it would be if Gu Fei could also fall in love with them.

For a time, the minds of many in the younger generation of women in the Ancient Realm fluctuated; they were no longer solely immersed in cultivation, wanting to head to the outside world.

However, when the high-level figures such as Gu Yuan and Gu Lie heard about this matter, their expressions were all somewhat serious.

Naturally, they were the first to notice that Gu Fei and Xun Er had left.

After all, relying on their strength, any slight disturbance within the entire Ancient Realm could not be hidden from this group of people.

Letting Gu Fei leave was because he possessed enough strength to protect himself.

But now, among all those remaining in the Ancient Realm, no one could rival Gu Fei.

Therefore, they were worried that these children would encounter some accident while outside, which is why they did not want them to leave the Ancient Realm; moreover, the people of the Ancient Clan have always felt that within the Ancient Realm, the heaven and earth energy is abundant, and they have absolutely no need to go out and roam.

A group of high-level figures gathered in the great hall to discuss the matter with the Clan Leader, Gu Yuan, who was sitting in the highest position.

Everyone held an opposing attitude toward allowing the younger generation of the Ancient Clan to leave the Ancient Realm.

Consequently, when faced with the younger generation wanting to go out, some high-level figures stepped forward and stopped them.

At the same time, Gu Yuan officially issued an order that no one else was allowed to leave without authorization.

Thus, the Ancient Clan returned to its former tranquility, yet it is unknown whether this tranquility can last.

On the other side, Gu Fei was traveling through a Space Wormhole the entire way.

Because the Eastern Region is truly far from the Northwest Continent, relying on the Space Wormhole to jump continuously would still take several months.

The journey was not all smooth sailing, and he encountered quite a few setbacks.

In his daily life, Gu Fei does not like to use Dou Qi to suppress others, nor does he like to release his Dou Qi externally.

Gu Lie taught him from a young age to restrain his own Dou Qi, so that others cannot figure out his true strength.

Gu Lie himself is the same.

On the surface, he looks like an ordinary person with absolutely no Dou Qi, but if anyone truly dared to attack him, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

From beginning to end, Gu Lie has believed that there is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond the heaven.

Although his strength has reached the pinnacle of the Ancient Realm, no one can say they are the number one in the world.

There are always more formidable figures.

If one were to be unlucky enough to encounter them, by using his seemingly weak strength to deceive them, perhaps he could still win a glimmer of survival.

There is a reason why Gu Lie does this.

When he was young, he was sharp and exposed, feeling that he was the number one in the world.

He never restrained his Dou Qi, nor did he think that someone with higher strength than him could easily judge his realm.

At that time, his arch-enemy was not as strong as him, so he went to invite the ancestor of his family.

The ancestor had a face that remained young forever, and when Gu Lie first met him, he thought this person was young and definitely not as strong as him.

He wantonly used a terrifying aura to suppress him, only to be solved by that person with a single light move.

Although Gu Lie managed to save his life in the end, he learned to be low-key and restrained.

Thus, he began to find ways not to let his Dou Qi be released, keeping it within his body.

He also taught this cultivation method to Gu Fei.

Gu Fei is, of course, intelligent and understood it at once.

Isn't this just playing the pig to eat the tiger?

Gu Fei realized this and earnestly learned how to restrain his own Dou Qi.

Ever since he learned it, he has never released his full Dou Qi again.

Sometimes even Gu Yuan and Gu Lie would be deceived by him, truly believing that this kid's strength had not improved.

Those fanboys and fangirls of Gu Fei did not think so.

Although their strength was not as good as Gu Fei's, they could still perceive the intensity of his Dou Qi fluctuations.

If one were to say that Gu Fei's aura was previously like a prison or an abyss, possessing a terrifying pressure.

Then he is now like a calm ocean, looking completely harmless, yet deep down, a terrifying nightmare is hidden.

Those who admired Gu Fei only thought that Gu Fei's strength had skyrocketed, and they were no longer able to perceive his strength.

Naturally, everyone worshipped Gu Fei even more.

And Gu Fei also smiled, enjoying the small Emotion Value brought by this worship.

Then again, because he had been hiding his strength and the Dou Qi fluctuations on his body, several people in this Space Wormhole had set their sights on him.

Gu Fei was dressed in what looked very ordinary, but those who knew their goods could carefully discover just how rare that fabric was.

If nothing else, his Cloud-Piercing Boots alone were made from the skin of a Cloud Beast.

Cloud Beasts are already an existence near extinction in the Northwest Continent, and the strength of every single Cloud Beast is extremely terrifying.

Yet that young man looked average in strength, but carried so many treasures; he was probably a disciple who had snuck out from some large family or hidden sect.

Hiding in the Space Wormhole were quite a few wicked and vicious villains.

They were afraid of being hunted by enemies, so they stayed in the Space Wormhole, making it convenient to run away at any time.

Right now, with such a rich little fat sheep running in, wasn't that walking into a wolf's den?

These desperate villains never looked at other people's family backgrounds; as long as that person was valuable and easy to bully, they would swarm like evil wolves.

Consequently, for several days, Gu Fei had no peace.

He had to face a hand that might reach out from the shadows at any moment, or a sword that appeared out of thin air.

Those people all wanted to put him to death, then seize the treasures and flee.

Gu Fei sneered; did these people truly think he was someone easy to bully?

Naturally, facing sneak attacks, he showed absolutely no mercy; he would strike down one if one came, and strike down a pair if two came.

Those people came with aggressive momentum and fled in a panic.

No one had expected that within the seemingly weak young man lay hidden such terrifying strength.

Consequently, after this, no more blind fools came to disturb his journey.

Gu Fei was also able to travel with a focused mind, setting off toward his destination.

Gu Fei's first destination was that Black-Corner Region.

Because of his cultivation technique, he needed to absorb an Exotic Fire.

Therefore, Gu Fei wanted to directly seize Han Feng's Sea Heart Flame.

Thus, after two and a half months of trekking, Gu Fei finally arrived at the Northwest Continent's famous land of extreme evil—the Black-Corner Region.

Here, due to the special terrain, it had become almost the most chaotic region on the entire continent.

Countless fugitive powerhouses from various nations had fled to this place and established the most barbaric rules.

In the "Black-Corner Region," there were no legal constraints; there was only one law: Jungle Law.

In other words, it was the survival of the fittest; the weak had no right to survive here.

This was an extremely pure territory; if you wanted to, even if you forcibly took a woman in the middle of the street, no one would stop you.

Of course, the prerequisite was that you had better choose your target well when preparing, otherwise, the outcome would likely be quite miserable.

In the Black-Corner Region, women might sometimes be even more terrifying than men, for only one reason: they had survived here.

Additionally, the Black-Corner Region could perhaps also be called an intelligence intersection of the continent, where countless pieces of information flowed out every day, and then countless pieces of information flowed in from the outside.
