Chapter 29: Xun Er: Why is Gu Fei here? Could it be that he came for Brother Xiao Yan?

"Lion King, are you willing to follow me?"

Gu Fei stood suspended in the sky, his eyelashes lowered, his voice dissipating with the wind; the Dou Qi he applied allowed this voice to travel very far.

The words, carrying a terrifying pressure, resounded throughout this dangerous area filled with Magical Beasts.

Those low-tier Magical Beasts that had originally been baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they surrounded the area, upon sensing the powerful aura emanating from Gu Fei, retreated one after another, trembling all over and not daring to approach any further, even though Gu Fei was not intentionally targeting them.

Every Magical Beast nearby had eyes filled with fear, despite their originally ferocious pupils.

"This aura..."

Not far away, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King also heard Gu Fei's words.

Although it had already sensed Gu Fei's powerful strength from that heaven-shaking aura.

However, this was its territory! It was impossible for it to retreat before a battle had even begun.

Soon, the massive body of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King appeared above this patch of sky.

It lowered its head, glanced at Yun Yun standing beneath Gu Fei, a fierce glint flashing in its eyes, and then it turned its gaze toward Gu Fei, speaking in human language: "Human powerhouse, are you also here to snatch my Purple Spirit Crystal?"

When it said these words, the Lion King felt somewhat uneasy; if Gu Fei was standing up for Yun Yun, then a bloody battle would be unavoidable today.

【Purple Crystal Winged Lion King experiences unease, Emotion Value +50】 "That is not the case, the Purple Spirit Crystal is useless to me!" Sensing some of the Lion King's emotional changes, Gu Fei chuckled and shook his head.

Hearing this, the Lion King felt relieved, but was then choked by Gu Fei's next sentence.

"I came here because I feel your talent is passable, and you have the qualifications to become my mount!"

Gu Fei's expression was calm, yet he spoke words that caused the Lion King's expression to change abruptly.

【Purple Crystal Winged Lion King experiences shock and anger, Emotion Value +60】 "What? You actually want this King to be your mount? How arrogant, human!"

The Lion King was furious at this moment.

As Magical Beasts, especially some high-level ones, it is very difficult for them to be tamed by humans; they are born proud and will absolutely never lower their heads to humans.

Even if a human's strength is greater than theirs, they would not submit, even in death.

It is for this reason that adult Magical Beasts sold on the market are very rare; ordinary Magical Beasts are usually killed, their bodies dismembered, and then the useful parts are sold.

Those who want to purchase complete Magical Beasts can only buy Magical Beast eggs or ignorant Magical Beast cubs.

For example, the guardian beasts of large clans must be raised from a young age so that they will not have rebellious hearts and can remain loyal to the clan.

"Do not be surprised... once you become my mount, you will understand that this is the wisest decision you have made in your life."

Gu Fei ignored the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's towering rage and gave a faint smile.

Subsequently, he closed his eyes and released his own aura completely.

The moment that powerful pressure was released, not only did the surrounding low-tier Magical Beasts kneel on the ground trembling, but even the Lion King felt unprecedented pressure, with cold sweat streaming down.

As for Yun Yun, under Gu Fei's protection, she did not feel uncomfortable, but she could also sense the terror of Gu Fei's strength.

【Yun Yun experiences shock, Emotion Value +100】

【Purple Crystal Winged Lion King experiences shock and fear, Emotion Value +60】 【Third-Tier Magical Beast Earth-Splitting Bear experiences fear, Emotion Value +0.01】 Although Yun Yun did not feel the pressure, her expression was grave; this is a natural reaction when the weak face the strong.

Even one as powerful as the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King could not help but take a step back.

Yun Yun's gaze fell involuntarily onto Gu Fei's back: "Who exactly is he?"

The aura on Gu Fei's body continued to expand outward, with an endless stream of Dou Qi surging forth.

At the same time, in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Ling Ying, who was some distance away from this location, also sensed this terrifying fluctuation of aura; his footsteps suddenly stopped, and a look of shock and doubt appeared on his face.

"This aura!"

"What is it?"

Ling Ying had guarded her as she grew up, yet she had very rarely seen such a shocked expression on Ling Ying. After all, as her shadow, Ling Ying had to remain sufficiently calm to be competent.

Ling Ying had rare emotional fluctuations at this moment, and Xun Er asked in confusion.

A trace of unease also vaguely welled up in the bottom of her heart, but she deliberately ignored it.

Ling Ying was very sensitive to this aura; although Xun Er also sensed the powerful fluctuation, her strength, which was a notch lower than Ling Ying's, made her unable to perceive it clearly.

She could only vaguely detect that it was a very powerful aura.

"Miss, let me sense it carefully!"

Ling Ying, in disbelief, sensed it again.

He discovered that it was still not much different from his previous guess.

He paused for a second, his gaze turning toward Xun Er, his expression somewhat grave.

"It is the aura of Young Master Gu Fei!"

Ling Ying's voice paused, and then he answered with great certainty.

His perception could not possibly be mistaken; such a powerful and familiar aura could only be Young Master Gu Fei.

"Gu Fei?"

Hearing these words, Xun Er was also stunned.

She was very confused as to why Gu Fei would come here; what was there in a barren place like the Northwest Continent worth him coming to train in?

The Northwest Continent could not compare to the Ancient Realm at all; when Gu Fei left the Ancient Realm back then, it was for training, so it was impossible for him to abandon many fertile lands to come to such a barren place.

One might ask, in the Ancient Realm, who knows of Qingshan Town, and who knows of the Magical Beast Mountain Range? Could it really be such a coincidence that they just met by chance?

Or could it be...

"Could it be that Gu Fei came for Brother Xiao Yan?"

A wild guess arose in Xun Er's heart.

She was very worried about Xiao Yan's safety.

Because she had been unable to find Brother Xiao Yan for this period of time, Xun Er was very anxious.

After all, Xun Er was the person who knew Gu Fei's strength best; he was the number one genius of the Ancient Clan.

If Gu Fei were to truly make a move against Brother Xiao Yan, I fear that even the mysterious powerhouse by Brother Xiao Yan's side would be unable to withstand it.

Xun Er bit her lower lip nervously and exchanged a glance with Ling Ying.

She was conflicted about whether to go over there and check on the situation.

If... that fluctuation was Gu Fei fighting with Brother Xiao Yan and that mysterious powerhouse, what should she do?

"Time is pressing; for every second we delay, Brother Xiao Yan might be in one more point of danger!"

Xun Er hesitated no longer.

"We are going to find Gu Fei."

Seeing this, Ling Ying simply took her and flew rapidly toward the place where the Dou Qi fluctuations originated.

At this moment, Xun Er was extremely desperate to find Gu Fei.

However, her urgent need to find her "ex-husband" was not out of longing.

It was because she was worried that this "ex-husband" of hers would hurt her old lover.
