Chapter 44: The Ghost Gate
In the sky, a huge griffon beast was flying slowly, and its destination was obviously the Gama Empire.
In a small wooden house on the back of the griffon beast, Xiao Yun was sitting on the bed thinking about something.
This time when he returned to the Gama Empire, he was not going to go directly back to the Xiao family, but to go to the northwest desert first to subdue the Qinglian Earth Heart Fire. As for the three necessary items for collecting the strange fire, in addition to the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, Blood Lotus Pill and Naling, he had already prepared them.
As for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, Xiao Yun remembered that in the original novel, Gu Te, the younger brother of the Dan King Gu He, had it, but he forgot where he lived. However, this was not a difficult thing. As the younger brother of the Dan King Gu He, he was a famous person. I believe that he could find out Gu Te's address by asking around. Then he would just need to exchange some natural treasures for it.
After taming the strange fire, he would contact Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian. After this round, he would have gained a lot this time when he returned to the Jia Ma Empire. As for Xiao Yan's cultivation regression, Yao Lao would not harm him anyway, so Xiao Yun was naturally not so anxious.
Time passed in the boring rush, and Xiao Yun was getting closer and closer to the Gamar Empire. According to the instructions on the map, the Griffin Beast would reach the border of the Gamar Empire after flying a few dozen kilometers. At that time, Xiao Yun would let the flying beast return to Canaan Academy, and he would fly back directly for the rest of the journey.
A moment later, when the Griffin Beast once again climbed over a majestic mountain, the outline of a huge fortress appeared faintly at the end of the field of vision.
The fortress was built on the mountain, like a tiger, guarding the road to the Gamar Empire. Anyone who wanted to enter the empire had to pass through this huge fortress. This heavily guarded fortress had swallowed countless battlefield souls over the years, making many surrounding empires fear it like a tiger.
"Xiao Yun, we have reached the border of the Gamar Empire." The foreign student riding the griffon beast shouted loudly after seeing the huge fortress. The voice was
carried into the room by the strong wind. Xiao Yun, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing, opened his eyes, stood up, opened the door and walked out of the room.
"Thank you, senior. We'll say goodbye now. This is a small gift from me, I hope you'll accept it." Looking at the Ghost-Suppressing Pass in the distance, Xiao Yun took out a jade bottle from his ring and threw it to the student from the outer school. His body shook slightly, and a pair of fiery red wings appeared behind him. With the wings flapping, Xiao Yun flew quickly towards the fortress.
Although it seemed that Xiao Yun was at least tens of thousands of meters away from the fortress, he flew rapidly in the sky with the help of the Wings of the King of Fighters. After a few minutes, Xiao Yun arrived above the fortress.
Looking at the noisy fortress below, Xiao Yun did not go down and line up to enter the customs like others. This kind of entry procedure is for ordinary people, but Xiao Yun is a fighting king. If he does not need to ask for directions, no one dares to say anything if he flies directly through such a checkpoint.
Slowly closing his eyes, the surging soul power surges from the center of Xiao Yun's eyebrows, quickly sweeping across the fortress below. After a while, Xiao Yun opened his eyes and looked at the center of the fortress wall. He already knew the situation of the entire ghost-suppressing pass, and the person he was looking for was there.
With his wings flapping, Xiao Yun's figure rushed down and flew straight down.
...
Zhen Gui Pass, in a stone room at the center of the city wall, the supreme leader of the entire fortress, the elder of the Mu family, one of the three major families in the empire, Mu Tie, was sitting inside, listening to his subordinates reporting on their work.
"You are the commander of this fortress, right? Come out, I want to ask you some questions."
Suddenly, an old voice echoed in the room, and at the same time, a strong aura enveloped the entire section of the city wall, and some soldiers with weaker strength were shocked to foam at the mouth. Mu Tie felt this breath, and a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face. He quickly stood up and came outside, only to see a figure covered in a black robe floating in the air. Behind him, there was a pair of fiery red wings, and the strong aura was constantly bursting from his body.
"What do you want to ask?" Seeing the wings behind the black-robed figure, which symbolized the cultivation level of Dou Wang and above, Mu Tie knew that he could not afford to offend this person, so he could only speak humbly.
In the air, the black-robed figure was Xiao Yun in disguise, who smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I have no bad intentions, I just want to ask for directions. Do you know where Gu Te, the younger brother of Dan King Gu He, is?"
"This..." Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Mu Tie was embarrassed. He could not afford to offend the black-robed strong man in front of him, and he could not afford to offend Dan King Gu He either. Now he was asked to leak Gu Te's information. What if Gu Te was killed because of it? Wouldn't he be enemies with Dan King Gu He?
"Don't worry, I'm not looking for trouble with him. I've heard that Master Gu Te has collected many rare treasures. I just want to exchange treasures with him." Seeing Mu Tie's embarrassment, Xiao Yun understood instantly and explained.
But it would be better if he didn't explain. In Mu Tie's eyes, Xiao Yun's explanation was no different from "Gu Te has collected many treasures. I'm going to rob him of a few." Therefore, Mu Tie's face became more and more ugly.
"Why are you dithering? I said I won't cause trouble for him, why don't you believe it!" Xiao Yun, who was completely unaware of the problem with his explanation, was a little unhappy when he saw that Mu Tie had not spoken. He was full of fighting spirit and a stronger momentum than before.
"Senior, I say, I say, don't do it." Seeing that Xiao Yun was going to do it if he couldn't convince him, Mu Tie was shocked.
Damn, it's better to offend Gu He than to lose your life now. I'm sorry, brother Gu Te.
Thinking of this in his heart, Mu Tie said quickly: "Gu Te lives in Black Rock City, hundreds of miles away from Zhengui Pass. You can find him if you fly southwest." "
Thank you, I hope you didn't lie to me, otherwise, hum!" After leaving these words, Xiao Yun's body trembled slightly, and with his wings flapping, he soared into the sky and flew towards the southwest.
"Huh, this guy is finally gone. I hope Gut is okay." Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Mu Tie took a deep breath to calm his heart that was trembling just now because of Xiao Yun's strong momentum. After a while, he calmed down and said, "Hurry up and send someone to inform Master Gu He that an unknown fighting king has gone to find Gut."
...
After flying for an unknown period of time, the sun that was originally half hanging in the sky also completely fell, replaced by a new moon.
Xiao Yun, who had already swallowed several Qi-restoring pills, finally saw a brightly lit city. His wings fluttered continuously, and his figure turned into a stream of fiery red light, like a meteor across the sky.
As Xiao Yun gradually approached the city, his rapid figure gradually slowed down, and finally stopped in the sky directly above the city. Looking down, even though he was thousands of meters away, Xiao Yun could clearly see the big words on the city gate.
Black Rock City!
Finally arrived! Exhaling lightly, Xiao Yun's body slowly landed on an empty space in the city. Looking at the already dim sky, he was embarrassed to go to Gut to exchange for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring in the middle of the night, so he found a hotel to rest and wait until tomorrow to look for Gut.
