12: First stop, Black Corner Domain!

Gu Fei and Xun'er, both of them young Geniuses of the Gu Family, were almost the targets of pursuit for all the young people in the Gu Family.

Many of the young women who admired Gu Fei, upon hearing that he was leaving, had the idea of following in his footsteps.

Hoping to win Gu Fei's affection.

How wonderful it would be if they could accompany him for a while and make Gu Fei fall in love with them too.

For a time, the minds of many young women in the Ancient World were stirred, no longer solely immersed in Cultivation, but desiring to go to the outside world.

However, Gu Yuan and Gu Lie, along with other high-ranking members, looked somewhat serious when they heard about this matter.

They were naturally the first to detect Gu Fei and Xun'er's departure.

After all, with their strength, not a single rustle of grass in the entire Ancient World could escape their notice.

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

But now, among all the remaining people in the Ancient World, no one could match Gu Fei.

Therefore, they worried that these children might encounter accidents outside, which is why they did not want them to leave the Ancient World. Moreover, the Gu Family people had always believed that within the Ancient World, the energy of heaven and earth was abundant, and they had no need to venture outside.

A group of high-ranking members gathered in the main hall, discussing matters with Clan Chief Gu Yuan, who sat at the highest position.

Everyone held an opposing view to allowing the younger generation of the Gu Family to leave the Ancient World.

Consequently, when facing the younger generation's desire to go out, some high-ranking members stepped forward and stopped them.

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

Thus, the Gu Family returned to its former tranquility, though it was unknown whether this peace would last.

On the other side, Gu Fei had been traveling continuously through space wormholes.

Because the Eastern Region was truly far from the Northwest Continent, even with continuous jumps through space wormholes, it would still take several months.

The journey was not smooth sailing and encountered many twists and turns.

Gu Fei usually disliked using his Qi to oppress others, nor did he like to let his Qi outwardly manifest.

Gu Lie had taught him since childhood to restrain his own Qi, so that others could not clearly perceive his true strength.

Gu Lie himself was also like this.

On the surface, he appeared like an ordinary person completely without Qi, but anyone who dared to attack him would regret it for life.

Gu Lie always believed that there were always people more capable than oneself, and there was always a higher power.

Although his strength had reached the peak of the Ancient World, no one could claim to be the foremost in the current era.

There would always be more formidable individuals.

If, by chance, he encountered misfortune, he might be able to snatch a glimmer of hope by deceiving them with his outwardly weak strength.

There was a reason for Gu Lie's actions.

In his youth, he was sharp and believed himself to be the strongest in the world.

His Qi was never restrained, and he never considered that people stronger than him could easily discern his Realm.

At that time, his mortal enemy, whose strength was inferior to his, went and invited their Family's Old Ancestor.

The Old Ancestor's appearance remained youthful, and the first time Gu Lie met him, he thought this person was young and certainly not as strong as him.

So he wantonly used his terrifying Aura to suppress him, but was resolved by that person with a light move.

Although Gu Lie ultimately survived, he learned to be low-key and reserved.

Thus, he began to find ways to prevent his Qi from outwardly manifesting, keeping it contained within his body.

He also taught this Cultivation method to Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was, of course, intelligent and understood with a single hint.

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

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

Since he learned it, he had never fully released his Qi again.

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

However, Gu Fei's fans did not think so.

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

If Gu Fei's Aura was like a prison and an abyss before, possessing terrifying pressure.

Then he was now like a calm sea, seemingly completely harmless, yet deep within lay a terrifying nightmare.

Those who admired Gu Fei only believed that his strength had surged, and they were no longer able to perceive his true power.

Naturally, everyone admired Gu Fei even more.

And Gu Fei smiled, enjoying the subtle emotional value brought by this admiration.

Speaking of which, because he had always hidden his strength and the Qi fluctuations on his body, several people in this space wormhole had set their sights on him.

Gu Fei's attire looked very ordinary, but those who knew their stuff could, with a little care, discover just how rare the fabric was.

Not to mention anything else, his pair of Cloud-Piercing Boots alone were made from the hide of a Cloud Beast.

Cloud Beasts were almost extinct in the Northwest Continent, and the strength of every Cloud Beast was extremely terrifying.

Yet, that young man appeared to have ordinary strength but possessed so many treasures; he was probably a Disciple who had secretly slipped out of some prominent Family or reclusive Sect.

Within the space wormhole, many vicious and evil individuals were hiding.

They feared being hunted down by enemies, so they always hid in the space wormhole, ready to escape at any time.

Now, with such a rich little lamb running in, wasn't it like entering a wolf's den?

These desperate outlaws never considered others' Family backgrounds; as long as the person was valuable and easy to bully, they would swarm like hungry wolves.

Thus, 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 kill him, then seize his treasures and flee.

Gu Fei sneered, did these people really think he was easy to bully?

Of course, when faced with sneak attacks, he showed no mercy; he dealt with them one by one, or two at a time.

Those people came aggressively and left in a panic.

No one had expected such terrifying strength to be hidden within the seemingly weak young man.

After this, no one else foolishly came to disturb his journey.

Gu Fei was also able to travel single-mindedly, heading towards his destination.

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

Because of his Cultivation Technique, he needed to absorb an exotic flame.

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

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

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

Countless fleeing powerhouses from various countries had fallen here and established the most barbaric rules.

In the "Black-Corner Region," there were no legal constraints whatsoever; there was only one Law, the Law of the jungle.

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

This was an extremely pure region; if you wished, even raping a woman in the street would go unopposed.

Of course, the prerequisite was that you had better choose your target carefully when preparing, otherwise, the outcome might be quite tragic.

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

Additionally, the Black-Corner Region could perhaps also be called a continental intelligence hub, with countless pieces of intelligence flowing out from here daily, and then countless pieces of intelligence flowing in from the outside.
