270. Chapter 270: Re-entering the Void Lightning Pool!

Zi Yan's voice had just fallen.

Gu Fei and Cai'er were still immersed in the shock of the Dragon Clan's foundation.

"Sigh."

Zi Yan suddenly let out a soft sigh, her expression becoming somewhat melancholy.

"If those seniors hadn't left back then, how would it have been the turn of those three guys, Zhu Bei, to claim kingship and split the Dragon Clan!"

A trace of desolation flashed through her bright, purple-gold eyes as she muttered to herself.

This was indeed true! As she spoke, Zi Yan's petite body trembled slightly, and a look of pain appeared in her eyes.

Clearly, mentioning the past reminded her of her father, who was trapped in the Ancient Emperor Space.

Seeing this, Gu Fei also felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"Don't worry, it won't take many years before I will definitely be able to gather all the Ancient Jade."

The next moment, Gu Fei reached out, gently grasped Zi Yan's soft, cold little hand, and comforted her tenderly.

Warmth radiated from his palm; Zi Yan looked up at Gu Fei, the sorrow in her eyes gradually dissipating, replaced by a touch of gratitude and trust.

She flashed a brilliant smile at Gu Fei and nodded gently.

Heh heh!

This girl was actually very strong inside. It seemed he didn't need to worry too much.

The corners of Gu Fei's mouth curled up slightly. Cai'er stood to the side, watching this warm scene, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

However, Cai'er did not show any unhappiness; instead, she revealed a look of relief. She knew very well that Zi Yan and Gu Fei had known each other for so long and had experienced so much that the pure friendship between them had long since transcended the feelings between a man and a woman.

Naturally, she would not be jealous because of such an action; instead, she felt happy that Gu Fei could have such a close friend.

Just as the three were immersed in this warm atmosphere, an aged voice suddenly came from the horizon: "Dragon Emperor!"

Before the voice had faded, a figure appeared above Dragon Island. It was a tall old man with silver hair fluttering in the wind; although his face was covered in wrinkles, his eyes were piercingly bright, and his entire body exuded a powerful aura that made one's heart tremble.

As soon as the old man appeared, he bowed to Zi Yan, appearing extremely respectful. However, when he saw the intimate interaction between Gu Fei and Zi Yan, his brows could not help but furrow slightly.

As an Elder of the Dragon Clan, he naturally understood the importance of Zi Yan as the Dragon Emperor. If Zi Yan were to be lured away by someone from an outside clan, it would be a huge loss for the Dragon Clan!

No!!!

This kind of thing must absolutely not be allowed to happen. "Elder Zhu Shang, no need for such formalities!"

Seeing this, Zi Yan hurriedly withdrew her little hand, put on a serious expression, and said politely.

Although Zi Yan was usually lively and cute, in front of this Elder, she acted extremely respectful.

Actually, this was no wonder. Who didn't know that the Elder Zhu Shang before them was the strongest existence on Dragon Island today, with a cultivation that had reached the astonishing Eight-Star Dou Saint realm.

"Brother Gu Fei, this is our clan's Elder Zhu Shang!"

Afterward, Zi Yan turned her head to introduce him to Gu Fei.

"This junior has met Elder Zhu Shang!"

Hearing this, Gu Fei immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

No matter what, the proper etiquette had to be maintained. Although Gu Fei was now a Six-Star Dou Saint powerhouse, facing Zhu Shang, who had a higher cultivation and was older, Gu Fei appeared neither humble nor arrogant.

However, while bowing, Gu Fei also quietly released his own aura, demonstrating his Six-Star Dou Saint strength.

Feeling Gu Fei's aura, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhu Shang's eyes.

"You are the Gu Fei of the Ancient Clan that the Dragon Emperor often speaks of; you are truly extraordinary!"

Zhu Shang looked Gu Fei up and down and spoke slowly. These words were both an affirmation of Gu Fei and revealed a hint of testing.

Zhu Shang knew very well that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, strength was the most important standard for measuring a person's value.

In this world, no logic could overcome the fists of the strong.

If Gu Fei were just an ordinary person or had low cultivation, these top powerhouses of the Dragon Clan would likely not give him a good look. But the strength of a Six-Star Dou Saint was enough to make Zhu Shang look at Gu Fei with new eyes.

Although human nature is cruel, there is no help for it! But this is the truth!

"To think that the Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python has actually reappeared in the world."

Afterward, Zhu Shang's gaze fell upon Cai'er. A trace of astonishment flashed in his cloudy old eyes as he sighed.

"I was lucky enough to obtain a Nine-Colored Original Stone."

Hearing this, Cai'er smiled slightly and responded modestly.

In the time that followed, Gu Fei and Cai'er, accompanied by Zi Yan, stayed on Dragon Island for a period. They visited the various wonders of Dragon Island, got to know many Dragon Clan powerhouses, and also became familiar faces to those few top Dragon Clan powerhouses who had just returned.

During this time, Gu Fei gained a deeper understanding of the Dragon Clan's foundation.

Those powerhouses who returned from the Void Space each possessed astonishing strength and rich experience.

Their return undoubtedly caused the Dragon Clan's strength to skyrocket, leaping to become a super force comparable to the Ancient Races.

"I am going to the Void Lightning Pool!"

A few days later, Gu Fei suddenly said to Zi Yan.

Zi Yan was startled upon hearing this, then recalled Gu Fei's experience in the Void Lightning Pool back then and could not help but feel a bit worried. But upon second thought, with Gu Fei's current strength, those Black Demon Lightning were likely no longer anything to fear.

"Be careful."

Thus, Zi Yan nodded and whispered a reminder.

Gu Fei smiled and waved his hand, his figure flashing as he disappeared from where he stood.

Before long, Gu Fei arrived above the Void Lightning Pool.

Looking out, he saw an endless sea of lightning rolling beneath his feet.

Countless bolts of lightning roared like wild dragons; the scene was spectacular.

Compared to back then, Gu Fei now appeared much more calm and composed when facing this massive Void Lightning Pool.

His figure swept over the Leichi at a steady, unhurried pace; those crazily flashing, massive bolts of lightning would suddenly stall when they approached within a dozen or so zhang of his body, then scramble to dodge away in a panic.

Evidently, these lightning bolts had already sensed the power within Gu Fei's body that made them fearful.

Along the way, Gu Fei did not stop in the slightest, heading straight for the deepest part of the Void Lightning Pool.

With the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame protecting his body, even those ferocious lightning forces dared not approach easily; this scene undoubtedly confirmed that the ranking of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame on the Exotic Flame Ranking was not an empty reputation.

Before long, Gu Fei arrived at the depths of the Leichi, where he saw vast stretches of Black Demon Lightning; these Black Demon Lightnings were more violent than ordinary lightning, each bolt containing astonishing destructive power.

Gu Fei's appearance immediately triggered a riot among these Black Demon Lightnings; in an instant, dozens of Black Demon Lightnings struck at him crazily, each one comparable to the full-force strike of a One-Star Dou Sheng.

Such terrifying power would likely make even a Two-Star or even Three-Star Dou Sheng expert feel apprehensive upon encountering it.

However, for the current Gu Fei, unless ten thousand bolts were fired at once, they would pose no significant threat at all. (End of chapter)
