78: Who are you? The person who takes your life!
Arriving in the Pill Domain, Gu Fei brought Xiao Yi Xian and the others to a nearby city for a rest.
He glanced at the map; Luo Shen Ravine was to the north, and even at their current speed, it would only take a few days to reach.
On the way to Luo Shen Ravine, Gu Fei lingered in a few nearby cities for a while.
Gu Fei only possessed three types of Heavenly Flames, and the Five Round Li Fire Method, the reward Venerable Skyfire had given him earlier, required five types of flames.
Therefore, to gather two more Demonic Beast flames and enhance the power of the Five Round Li Fire Method, Gu Fei chose to stay here for a short period.
The Pill Domain truly lived up to its reputation as the center of Central Plains and even the Fighting Qi Continent; everything here was much easier to find than outside.
Demonic Beast flames, which only appeared fleetingly at auctions in the outside world, were found by Gu Fei in just one day.
Although the cost was considerable, Gu Fei didn't care about such external possessions; his background provided him with the capital to spend lavishly.
"Brother Gu Fei, are you done?"
Xiao Yi Xian watched Gu Fei walk out of the room and asked with a smile.
"Mm, we can set off now!"
Gu Fei nodded.
"Call those two girls."
Xiao Yi Xian responded and then called out to Zi Yan and Qing Lin.
Zi Yan, currently munching on a mouthful of pills, slowly chewed them upon hearing this, mumbled a response, and then pulled Qing Lin over.
"Brother Gu Fei! The Void Realm wormhole was so boring. Next, can the Lion King carry us for a while?"
Zi Yan quickly ran over, wrapped her arms around Gu Fei's arm, and swayed back and forth.
Gu Fei looked down at Zi Yan; she was looking at him with an innocent expression, her almond-shaped eyes blinking, and her sharp little canine teeth showing.
Seeing that Gu Fei didn't answer, Zi Yan shook his forearm again, her voice becoming even more coquettish.
"Brother Gu Fei, please~"
[Zi Yan generates a pleading emotion, emotion value +100]
Gu Fei pinched his brow, letting out a helpless sigh.
He was truly curious how Xiao Yi Xian managed to control this girl; after a round of pouting, even he couldn't help but give in.
"Alright, but you must be obedient on this journey."
[Zi Yan generates a surprised emotion, emotion value +100]
"Thank you, Brother Gu Fei!"
Zi Yan's eyes curved at the corners, and she broke into a wide smile.
Gu Fei turned and instructed the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who then retreated a bit. In an open space, its figure flickered, and then it reverted to its massive Amethyst Winged Lion King Demonic Beast form.
Zi Yan laughed happily and quickly climbed onto the Lion King's back.
Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin also walked in front of Gu Fei, and the three of them successively climbed up...
Luo Shen Ravine, located in the northern part of the Pill Domain, had extremely complex terrain.
Gu Fei and his group, riding the Amethyst Winged Lion King, arrived here. He stood on a high vantage point, gazing into the distance with a calm expression.
Before them was a vast, endless plain of scattered rocks. The plain was covered with countless dark fissures, which, like the gaping maws of devils, emerged from the ground and extended into the far distance. The eerie blackness made one's heart chill.
The plain was strewn with extremely massive boulders, some of which looked like entire stone mountains, emitting a dark, dark color. In the sky, black mist perpetually lingered.
These were poisonous mists rising from the ravines, which, having accumulated over many years, almost completely obscured the sky above this vast plain.
"Let's go in!"
Facing such a perilous place, Gu Fei did not travel on the ground but still had the Lion King fly.
Within Luo Shen Ravine, poisonous creatures ran rampant, and even the surrounding Qi was mixed with some poisonous Qi. Ordinary strong cultivators dared not Cultivate here, nor did they dare to fly in the sky.
However, Gu Fei possessed Heavenly Flames. When the surrounding Qi passed through the Heavenly Flame protective barrier, the poisonous Qi mixed within it automatically dissipated completely under the terrifying high temperature.
Soon, the Lion King arrived deep within Luo Shen Ravine. Here, poisonous mist swirled, and the air even had a slightly fishy smell. If inhaled, it would be quite troublesome.
But fortunately, with Gu Fei's protection, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and the others were safe and sound.
"We're almost there; that's our destination."
After a few more minutes, Gu Fei uttered a low command, telling the Lion King to stop, pointed his finger forward, and looked back.
Beneath the dense poisonous mist, a massive white stone fortress appeared intermittently.
Roar!
Just as the Lion King flew within a thousand meters of the stone fortress, the ground suddenly vibrated violently. Immediately, an earth-shattering Dragon roar suddenly erupted from within the stone fortress. The sound swept forth like a fierce wind, shaking all the loose stones on the ground into the air!
"This Aura, it's actually a Calamity Poison Body! Haha, I didn't expect to be so lucky today as to encounter this King!"
As the Dragon roar echoed, a loud laugh, like rolling thunder, also emanated from within the stone fortress, then spread out like ripples.
After the laughter subsided, a sharp whooshing sound was heard, and a blood-red figure shot out from the stone fortress like lightning.
A pair of Dragon wings, ten zhang wide, extended from behind the figure. Behind him, there was a blood-red scorpion tail, over ten meters long, with a sharp, cold glint at its tip.
Even the Lion King's body stiffened involuntarily at this moment, and a hint of fear appeared in its huge pupils.
This was a Demonic Beast's instinct; the figure opposite him was far stronger than the Lion King, probably reaching the level of an Eight-star Dou Zong.
The blood-red figure hovered in the sky, its massive Dragon wings slowly flapping, stirring up gusts of wind.
However, apart from the wings on his back and that sharp scorpion tail, this Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast was almost indistinguishable from an ordinary human, and his appearance was also extremely handsome, subtly exuding a hint of evil charm.
"No need to panic."
Gu Fei said indifferently. He set up a protective barrier around the Lion King, then casually walked off the Lion King's back, and step by step, walked through the Void Realm to stand before the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast.
He did not restrain his own Aura, but instead released it forcefully.
With each step closer, Gu Fei's Aura also climbed steadily.
Gu Fei clearly saw that as he approached, a hint of fear gradually emerged in the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's eyes.
Compared to his arrogant demeanor in front of the Amethyst Winged Lion King just now, he was like a completely different person.
[Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast generates fear emotion, emotion value +15]
But he was accustomed to acting arrogantly in Luo Shen Ravine. Even if Gu Fei's oppressive Aura was terrifying, he would never concede defeat so easily.
"Who are you?"
"Are you willing to hand over the Calamity Poison Body behind you? This King will surely present you with a grand gift!"
[Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast generates apprehension plus greed emotion, emotion value +15]
His gaze unconsciously fell upon Xiao Yi Xian behind Gu Fei, and greed flashed in his eyes.
"Hmph!"
Seeing that the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's ill intentions persisted and he even dared to covet Xiao Yi Xian, Gu Fei snorted coldly. The oppressive Aura from his body surged towards the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast like an overwhelming tide.
"The one who came to take your life!"
