114: Escape

Although he had a map in his hands, there were forests all around, with no reference points. He didn't know where he was currently located.

Gu Changan looked around and flew off in a random direction.

After flying for about several dozen miles, he felt that the surroundings hadn't changed much. He finally relaxed!

Gu Changan immersed his consciousness into the treasure gathering basin and saw an orange treasure qi spring eye slowly floating inside. Beside it was another red treasure qi spring eye.

The two spring eyes existed independently, with wisps of Treasure Qi gathering into the gems outside. The orange gem was slowly being filled at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Gu Changan felt a bit emotional; this time had gone quite smoothly, without any difficulties! But it had still been very perilous! To snatch food from the tiger's mouth of a Golden Core Cultivator, and he had actually managed to do it?

He then hurriedly took out a few top-grade solid origin pills and a top-grade spirit nurturing pill to calm his nerves!

Gu Changan sat cross-legged on the ground, absorbing the medicinal power in his Dantian to restore himself to his best state.

It still wasn't very safe right now; he was only 1,000 miles away from Blood Dragon City. He had to hurry and escape; if the area were to be locked down later, he wouldn't be able to get out even if he wanted to!

Gu Changan pinched his fingers to calculate the direction. He then began to move towards the west. Although he didn't know which direction he was currently in relative to Blood Dragon City, heading west was definitely correct; the west was the hinterland of the Blood Fiend Alliance. If he encountered a city, it would be great, as he could figure out his location!

The most important thing now was to escape Blood Dragon City! If the Blood Fiend Alliance were to lock down the area within a 3,000-mile radius, then his current position wouldn't be safe either!

As for why he had to run? He had wrecked the Great Formation of Blood Dragon City! And in the center of the Great Formation was actually a treasure qi spring eye! This should count as a relatively precious treasure. He believed that if the Blood Fiend Alliance lost such an important treasure, they couldn't possibly remain indifferent! They would definitely mobilize the entire Blood Fiend Alliance's forces to search for it! From the fact that these Treasure Qi could replicate so many things, one could see just how precious the treasure qi spring eye was!

Gu Changan rode his flying boat, flying at a low altitude. After about four or five hours, he felt he had traveled about 2,000 miles. Gu Changan planned to stop and confirm his current location. He had seen cities along the way before, but he hadn't stopped to confirm anything because he was too close to Blood Dragon City!

He had now run more than 2,000 miles away; he believed that the Cultivators of the Blood Fiend Alliance wouldn't be able to catch up even if they tried. This also gave him some time to react!

Gu Changan spotted another small city and descended with his escape light. He looked at the name on the city gate: "Blood Prison City," a city he had never heard of. Gu Changan took out the map in his hand, but it wasn't on there! That could only mean this city was truly too small, or perhaps this map only contained place names in the vicinity of Skull Ridge! Gu Changan didn't know which situation it was, so he could only enter the city to ask!

The layout of the city was no different from the previous few cities! After entering the city, he called for a Donor to take him around.

The Donor was a child of fourteen or fifteen, with a mess of long hair, from beneath which two bright, spirited eyes peeked out. His whole face was dirty, and he wore oversized Cultivator robes that he had found goodness knows where. However, his cultivation had reached the first level of Qi Refining!

Gu Changan asked about the doubts in his heart: "How is the situation with the Saint competition recently?"

The dirty-looking child glanced at Gu Changan and hurriedly lowered his head! "Uh! Generally speaking, there haven't been any changes!" "Most True Disciples are rushing to improve their own strength!" "Or causing trouble for others!"

"But it's said that Fierce Blood Heaven, who is ranked second, has defected." "There is news saying he has gone missing!" "I don't know which piece of news is true!" "However, it is certain that he will not be participating in the Saint competition!"

Gu Changan became interested: "Tell me more?"

The dirty-looking child said, "Fierce Blood Heaven's sphere of influence is in Blood Dragon City!" "I don't know what happened in Blood Dragon City; news has been blocked!"

Gu Changan was startled when he heard this; wasn't this the place he had escaped from? So it was Fierce Blood Heaven's sphere of influence! But who was that Old Man in Black Robe in the sky back then? Gu Changan suppressed the doubts in his heart, remaining calm on the surface, and listened carefully to his narration.

The dirty-looking child glanced at Gu Changan and continued, "I only know that Fierce Blood Heaven has been put on a wanted list!" "And his Family disappeared overnight!" "Their Family has occupied Blood Dragon City for so long!" "They must have stored many treasures." "Now that their Family has fallen!" "The Cultivators of the entire Blood Fiend Alliance are rubbing their hands, preparing to get a piece of the pie!" "This is also why I said he cannot participate in the Saint selection!"

Gu Changan nodded: "I didn't expect so many things to have happened while I was in secluded meditation?" "Are there any other major events?"

The dirty-looking child shook his head to indicate there were none. Gu Changan handed him 10 Spirit Stones.

"Right! How far is Blood Prison City from Blood Refining Valley?" "I came out of secluded meditation earlier, was pursued by Bandit Cultivators, and only saw Blood Prison City after fleeing for my life!" "Now I don't even know where I am!"

The dirty-looking child scrutinized Gu Changan for a moment; he clearly didn't believe this explanation. However, he still replied, "It is only about 1,500 miles from here to the Blood Refining Valley, the hinterland of the Blood Fiend Alliance."

Gu Changan nodded: "Then how far is it from the Blood Dragon City you mentioned?"

The dirty-looking child's pupils constricted, but he immediately returned to normal; however, no one knew what he was thinking! "It is 2,300 miles from here to Blood Dragon City."

Gu Changan deduced that he had previously used the teleportation talisman to transport himself to a point 1,000 miles south of Blood Dragon City. So, the most important thing now was to replenish his supplies in this city. And grab a good meal while he was at it!

Gu Changan dismissed the dirty-looking child and prepared to head to the Treasure Pavilion in Blood Prison City!

As for the dirty-looking child, he put away the Spirit Stones in his hand. Then he came to the city gate and looked at the wanted list above. "All Cultivators of unknown origin must be reported!" "Including some suspicious Cultivators!"

The dirty-looking child's eyes shifted, and he thought a lot. Finally, he gathered his courage and went to the guards at the city gate, saying he had discovered a Cultivator with strange behavior!

Before long, a small old man about five feet tall appeared before him. The small old man said with a hint of perfunctoriness: "Speak! What is it?"

The dirty-looking child began to describe Gu Changan's abnormalities! It wasn't until he said that Gu Changan asked where Blood Prison City was, how far it was from Blood Refining Valley, and how far it was from Blood Dragon City, that the small old man took it seriously. After listening, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. This person was definitely not a local Cultivator! And he had come from a very far place; otherwise, people within a thousand miles would not ask like that!
