Chapter 44: Ghost GateIn the sky, a huge griffin was flying slowly, and its destination was obviously the Gama Empire.
In a small wooden house on the back of a griffin, Xiao Yun was sitting on the bed thinking about something.
This time when he returned to the Jia Ma Empire, he did not plan to go back to the Xiao family directly, but to go to the northwest desert first to subdue the Qinglian Earth Core Fire. As for the three necessary items for collecting the strange fire, in addition to the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, Blood Lotus Pill and Na Ling, 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 Pill King Gu He, owned it, but he forgot where this person lived. However, this was not a difficult thing. As the younger brother of the Pill King Gu He, he was a big celebrity himself. I believe that he could find out Gu Te's residential address by asking around, and then he would just need to exchange it for some rare treasures.
After taming the strange fire, he would contact Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian. After a round like this, he would have gained a lot when he returned to the Jia Ma Empire. As for Xiao Yan's cultivation level regressing, Yao Lao would not harm him anyway, so Xiao Yun was naturally not so anxious.
Time passed in the boring journey, and Xiao Yun was getting closer and closer to the Gama Empire. According to the instructions on the map, after flying for a few dozen kilometers, the griffin will reach the border of the Gama Empire. Then Xiao Yun will let the flying monster return to Canaan Academy, and he will fly back directly for the rest of the journey.
A moment later, when the griffin once again climbed over a majestic mountain, the outline of a huge fortress appeared faintly at the end of its sight.
The fortress was built on the mountain, like a tiger, guarding the road to the Gama Empire. Anyone who wanted to enter the empire had to pass through this huge fortress. This heavily guarded fortress had swallowed up countless battlefield souls over the years, making many surrounding empires fear it like a tiger.
"Junior brother Xiao Yun, we have arrived at the border of the Gama Empire." The external school student who was riding the griffin shouted after seeing the huge fortress.
The sound 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, pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
"Thank you very much, senior. Let's say goodbye now. This is a small gift from me, I hope you will accept it." Looking at the Ghost Pass in the distance, Xiao Yun took out a jade bottle from his ring and threw it to the outer courtyard student. 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 meters away from the fortress, he was flying rapidly in the sky with the help of the Fighting King's Wings. After a few minutes, Xiao Yun arrived above the fortress.
Looking at the noisy fortress below, Xiao Yun did not go down and queue up to enter the customs like others. This kind of customs procedure is for ordinary people, but Xiao Yun is a Dou Wang powerhouse. If he did not need to ask someone for directions, no one would dare to say anything if he flew over such a checkpoint.
He slowly closed his eyes, and a surging soul power surged out from between Xiao Yun's brows, quickly sweeping across the fortress below. After a while, Xiao Yun opened his eyes and looked towards the center of the fortress wall. He already knew the situation of the entire Ghost Pass, and the person he was looking for was there.
With his wings vibrating, Xiao Yun's figure whizzed down and flew straight downwards.
……
In Zhengui Pass, in a stone house in the center of the city wall, the highest 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 must be the commander of this fortress. Come out. I want to ask you some questions."
Suddenly, an old voice resounded in the room, and at the same time, a powerful aura enveloped the entire section of the wall, and some soldiers with weaker strength were shocked to the point of foaming at the mouth. Mu Tie felt this aura, and a look of fear suddenly appeared on his face. He quickly stood up and went 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 powerful aura was constantly bursting out of his body. "I wonder what you are asking?" Seeing the wings behind the black-robed figure, which symbolized the cultivation level of Dou Wang or above, Mu Tie knew that he could not afford to offend this person, so he could only speak humbly.
In midair, the black-robed figure was the disguised Xiao Yun, who smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions, I just want to ask for directions. Do you know where the Dan King Gu He's brother Gu Te is?"
"This..." Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Mu Tie looked embarrassed. He couldn't afford to offend the black-robed strong man in front of him, and he couldn't afford to offend the 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 then become enemies with the Dan King Gu He?
"Don't worry, I'm not looking for trouble with him. I've heard that Master Gute has collected many rare treasures. I just want to exchange treasures with him." Seeing Mu Tie's embarrassment, Xiao Yun understood instantly and began to explain.
But it would have been better if he didn't explain. In Mu Tie's eyes, Xiao Yun's explanation was no different from "Gu Te has a large collection of treasures, and I plan to rob him of a few." Therefore, Mu Tie's face became even uglier.
"Why are you dithering? I've already told you not to cause trouble for him, why don't you believe me?" Xiao Yun, who was completely unaware that there was something wrong with his explanation, was a little unhappy when he saw that Mu Tie hadn't spoken. His fighting spirit was surging, and an even more powerful momentum surged out than before.
"Senior, I'm telling you, don't do it." Seeing that Xiao Yun was about to do it if he couldn't convince him, Mu Tie was shocked.
Damn, just offend Gu He, it’s better than losing your life now. But I’m sorry, brother Gu Te.
Thinking this in his mind, Mu Tie quickly said, "That Gut lives in Black Rock City, hundreds of miles away from the Ghost Pass. You can find him if you fly southwest."
"Thank you very much. I hope you didn't lie to me, otherwise, hum!" After leaving these words, Xiao Yun's body shook slightly, and with his wings flapped, he soared into the sky and flew towards the southwest.
"Huh, this guy is finally gone. I hope Gu Te is okay." Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Mu Tie took a deep breath and calmed his heart which had just been trembling due to Xiao Yun's powerful momentum. After a while, he calmed down and said, "Hurry up and send someone to inform Master Gu He that an unknown Dou Wang strongman has gone to look for Gu Te."
……
I don’t know how long I flew, but the sun, which was originally half hanging in the sky, finally set completely and was replaced by a new moon.
Xiao Yun, who had already swallowed several Qi-regenerating pills, finally saw a brightly lit city. His wings vibrated continuously, and his body turned into a stream of fiery red light, streaking across the sky like a meteor.
As Xiao Yun gradually approached the city, his originally rapid figure gradually slowed down, and finally stopped in the sky right above the city. Looking down, Xiao Yun could clearly see the large words on the city gate even though he was a thousand meters away.
Black Rock City!
Finally, we're here! With a light breath, Xiao Yun's body slowly landed on an empty space in the city. Looking at the dark sky, he was too embarrassed to go to Gu Te to exchange for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring in the middle of the night, so he just found a hotel to rest and wait until tomorrow to look for Gu Te again.
