Chapter 14: Target, Qing Shan Town!

"Rest assured, I have only come for the Exotic Fire, I will not take your life!"

A moment later, Gu Fei opened his eyes, his sharp gaze fixed on Han Feng.

He lowered his voice, making it sound hoarse and gloomy, and at the same time, Han Feng sensed that his connection to the Sea Heart Flame had been completely erased.

"This person is actually terrifying to such a degree; in a mere moment, he erased the connection between me and the Sea Heart Flame..."

【Han Feng experiences fear and gratitude, Emotion Value +50】

Just as Gu Fei expected, Han Feng, who occupied a significant amount of space in the original work, possessed very high luck; a single instance of providing emotion actually yielded dozens of points, which made Gu Fei even more convinced that his decision to come to the Northwest Continent was correct.

After Gu Fei left, Han Feng felt a sense of surviving a disaster, and only after a long while, seeing that Gu Fei had truly departed, did he heave a sigh of relief.

On Gu Fei's side, since he had already obtained the Sea Heart Flame, his next plan was to head to Black Mark City.

He wanted to go and scavenge there once more.

Actually, it wasn't specifically to head to Black Mark City, just to take a look while passing by.

Although he didn't know if the Demon Fire Fragment Map had been acquired by Yuan Yi of the Eight Sects Gate yet.

But Gu Fei had to rush to the Jia Ma Empire, and he would pass by Black Mark City on the way.

It wouldn't hurt to go and ask.

In the original work, Xiao Yan headed to the Black-Corner Region after the Three Year Agreement, and caught the auction of the third Demon Fire Fragment Map in Black Mark City.

If by any chance that Yuan Yi had already obtained the Demon Fire Fragment Map, then Gu Fei could take that Demon Fire Fragment Map in advance.

Feng City was quite far from Black Mark City, so Gu Fei rested briefly after arriving at Black Mark City.

Subsequently, he inquired clearly about the location of the Eight Sects Gate and concealed his own aura.

No one blocked him along the way; it was as if he had entered an uninhabited land.

Gu Fei closed his eyes, using his Dou Qi to sense the fluctuations in the surroundings.

Within a radius of five miles, in the northwest direction, there was an extremely powerful person.

That should be Yuan Yi!

Like a ghost, Gu Fei arrived directly in the secret chamber of the sect leader, Yuan Yi.

He was dressed in a black robe, which covered his face.

Yuan Yi was drinking tea at the time, and upon hearing the movement, he looked at him, appearing very calm.

Relying on his status and strength, Yuan Yi believed he had no need to fear anyone.

The black-robed person before him must have had a request for him; otherwise, he would have attacked upon meeting.

Yuan Yi had seen many people like Gu Fei, who broke through various checkpoints and heavy defenses to appear directly in his secret chamber.

These powerhouses who were unwilling to reveal their true faces and concealed their own auras to find him were there because they had requests and found it inconvenient to expose their identities.

Whether it was treasure hunting, killing to seize treasures, or hiding from enemies... he had seen too many.

Every time he raised the price on the spot, it allowed Yuan Yi to make a fortune.

It was just that he didn't know what exactly the person before him was seeking.

Immediately following, just as Yuan Yi expected, Gu Fei stated his purpose directly.

"Do you have the whereabouts of a Fragmented Map?"

He stared intently at Yuan Yi with his deep eyes, throwing out his conditions unhurriedly.

"I can trade a Tier 6 Medicinal Pill for it."

【Yuan Yi experiences surprise, Emotion Value +5】

Hearing the system's notification sound, Gu Fei watched him with an unchanging expression.

Through the gap in the black robe, he clearly noticed that Yuan Yi's hand holding the teacup paused for an instant, before he brought it to his lips and took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened.

Only then did he turn his head to look directly at him.

His gaze was calm, well-concealing the ecstasy in his heart.

A Tier 6 Medicinal Pill!

If this Pill were brought out in Black Mark City, it could also stir up a storm of blood.

Although a Tier 6 Medicinal Pill could not compare to a Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill, it was still a scarce item with extremely high value.

Yet, it was being used by this black-robed person to trade for a Fragmented Map?

Moreover, looking at his appearance, he likely had quite a few treasures on him.

Yuan Yi's eyes rolled, and he had an idea.

When Gu Fei mentioned the words "Fragmented Map," Yuan Yi understood which one he was talking about.

Logically speaking, an ordinary Fragmented Map was not worth this price.

After all, a Fragmented Map was a Fragmented Map; although it was possible to discover treasures, it was ultimately incomplete.

Searching for treasures with it was also more difficult.

But that Fragmented Map was different.

That was a Fragmented Map that might lead to the Demon Fire!

Yuan Yi pondered for a moment and said, "I do not have a Fragmented Map here."

【Yuan Yi experiences greed, Emotion Value +30】

Gu Fei raised an eyebrow, immediately knowing that Yuan Yi indeed possessed the Fragmented Map.

Since he could experience greed, it meant that Yuan Yi clearly had the Fragmented Map but wanted to drive up its price to obtain more benefits.

Gu Fei rubbed his fingertips together, deciding not to restrain himself anymore, and directly unleashed his aura.

Yuan Yi was startled at once.

【Yuan Yi experiences fear, Emotion Value +10】

The cup in his hand shattered instantly, his face turned pale, and his pupils were filled with dread and fear.

Yet, greed still made him hesitate somewhat.

Gu Fei shook his head, inwardly sighing that Yuan Yi did not know what was good for him.

He continued to release eighty percent of his aura; the entire secret chamber seemed about to be crushed, let alone Yuan Yi, who was being targeted.

【Yuan Yi produces extreme fear, Emotion Value +12】

Under the pressure of the powerful aura, Yuan Yi felt the crisis of death for the first time in a long while.

With a deathly pale face and unable to move a muscle, he could only shout, "I'll give it! I'll give it! Spare my life!"

Although Gu Fei had no intention of killing, he could release an aura and killing intent that even the leader of the Eight Sects Gate, Yuan Yi, feared.

He smiled slightly and withdrew his aura.

Yuan Yi felt his whole body relax instantly.

He stood up to retrieve the Fragmented Map for Gu Fei, and under Gu Fei's calm and rippleless gaze, he tremblingly offered it with both hands.

Gu Fei put away the Fragmented Map and swaggered out.

Along the way, he also harvested scattered Emotion Values from Yuan Yi, mixed with fear, dread, and resentment.

He did not pay it any mind, but instead calculated the time.

Gu Fei guessed that Xiao Yan had likely not yet entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range for training.

After all, with his current strength, entering would only be courting death.

Because Xiao Yan had not yet gone, the Fragmented Map in that cave should still be there.

Since one Fragmented Map was already in hand, Gu Fei simply decided to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range to also obtain the one in the cave.

Relying on his current strength, as long as he did not provoke those terrifying Magical Beasts that occupied the region, he could walk sideways through the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

With more than half of the resources in his Storage Ring remaining, Gu Fei did not need to stop and rest.

He hungered to constantly grow stronger and urgently needed the Demon Fire.

One Fragmented Map was already in hand; the next step was the other one.

Once the Fragmented Maps were collected, he could obtain the contingency left behind by the Jinglian Yaosheng of that year.

In this way, when the Demon Fire emerged, Gu Fei would be able to occupy the greatest advantage and finally claim the Demon Fire for himself.

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame is the third-ranked Exotic Fire in the world, and its strength is comparable to a Seven-Star Dou Saint, second only to the Void Swallowing Flame and the so-called number one on the Exotic Flame Ranking, the Emperor Flame.

Upon obtaining the Demon Fire, Gu Fei's strength would receive a rapid boost!

Next, Gu Fei immediately set off, rushing toward Qingshan Town on the edge of the Jia Ma Empire.
