Chapter 224: Slaying for Justice? Nah, It's Cleaning Up Trash!
"Elder Baoshan, do you know the location where the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree will appear?" After a moment of shock in the grand hall, someone finally asked.
As the words fell, all eyes eagerly focused on Elder Baoshan.
"Hehe, everyone, rest assured. Since I've brought it up, I naturally won't keep it a secret," Elder Baoshan smiled. "The location where the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree will appear is none other than the Ancient Wasteland Region, located in the north-eastern border of Central Plains."
"The Ancient Wasteland Region?"
Upon hearing this, the grand hall immediately filled with exclamations.
The Ancient Wasteland Region is perhaps the oldest place on the current Dou Qi Continent. Simultaneously, it is a forbidden zone for all humans- harsh weather, toxic miasma, and a land filled with ferocious beasts.
These beasts are bloodthirsty and violent. Though their intelligence may not be high, their strength is terrifying. Even a peak Dou Venerate stronghold might not be confident in surviving a trip there.
No one expected that the location where the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree would emerge would be within the Ancient Wasteland Region!
"Dear, it's no wonder that the host of this auction released such information for free. With their strength, entering the Ancient Wasteland Region alone would be suicide. They're hoping to attract more people so they can fish in troubled waters," Cai Lin insightfully noted.
"Indeed," Gu Fei agreed with a nod.
Regarding the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Gu Fei was determined to obtain it this time. Although the Bodhi Ancient Tree might not offer substantial benefits to a strong cultivator like him, it could greatly enhance the growth of his loved ones.
Given the pride of ancient clans, most would likely only send their younger generations for training. But Gu Fei wouldn't take such a risk- securing the treasure first was the most practical approach.
As the atmosphere in the grand hall quieted, people began to leave one after another.
"Let's go too..." Gu Fei said as he led Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Lin out.
"Dear, are you planning to retrieve that fragment of the Heavenly Flame map later?" Cai Lin asked with a knowing smile after they left the space town.
She had already figured out Gu Fei's thoughts. The reason he hadn't continued bidding earlier was that he intended to seize it after the auction.
"And that King Kong Glass Body technique... I observed that the buyers of both items were from the same group," Xiao Yi Xian added with a smile.
"Hehe, you two have figured me out completely; nothing can be hidden!" Gu Fei chuckled with a nod.
"If it were ordinary people, I wouldn't commit such an act. However, those guys are no longer human!" he added.
"What do you mean, dear?" Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian asked in confusion.
"Those people belong to a perverse sect known as the Cloud Rain Sect. This sect cultivates by using female cauldrons to enhance their strength."
"And these so-called cauldrons are highly talented young girls who are forced to cultivate a specific Qi method for over a decade. Then, through a unique intercourse method of the Cloud Rain Sect, their Dou Qi is absorbed. Once their Dou Qi is drained, they age rapidly and die within ten days," Gu Fei explained.
"What a vile sect," Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian said coldly.
"Such people deserve to be eradicated. Killing them and taking their possessions is a service to the world!"
At that moment, both Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian were filled with killing intent.
"They're here..." Gu Fei said, his gaze fixed on a distant point.
In the distance, faint sounds of wind and thunder could be heard. Suddenly, three black streaks shot across the sky, rapidly approaching the mountain where Gu Fei and the others stood. Just as they neared the mountain, they abruptly stopped, sensing something amiss. "It's you? What, failed to outbid us and now want to rob us?"
"Daring to rob us Three Old Demons- you've got guts!" The three, upon sensing Gu Fei's aura, sneered mockingly, clearly unaware of the danger.
"You're mistaken!" Gu Fei responded calmly. "I'm not here to rob you but to rid the world of the Three Evils!"
As soon as his words fell, an immense pressure suddenly erupted. In an instant, the Three Old Demons were crushed into a bloody pulp by the overwhelming force.
They died without ever seeing how Gu Fei had acted.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After their deaths, Gu Fei naturally retrieved their storage rings. Inside, besides the fragment of the Heavenly Flame map, was the King Kong Glass Body technique from earlier.
"Let's go..." Gu Fei said as he led the two women away, paying little mind to killing a few peak Dou Venerate experts.
Soon after, the three of them arrived at a secluded mountain range in the Central Plains. Wary that the vision resulting from assembling the fragments together might be discovered by his clan members, Gu Fei chose to complete the task before returning. His caution wasn't aimed at his clan but rather at spies from the Hun Clan.
If the Hun Clan discovered that he had obtained all the fragments of the Heavenly Flame map, acquiring the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame would become much more challenging.
In a cave, Gu Fei took out all the fragments and slowly began to piece them together based on the patterns on each fragment.
When the last fragment was in place, the fully assembled ancient map displayed a landscape pattern. However, this pattern seemed rather ordinary, with no specific targets or routes. It appeared to be nothing more than a casually drawn landscape.
"The Heavenly Flame map can't be that simple; there must be more to it..." Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian, staring at the landscape pattern, didn't lose hope.
"Indeed, the secret of this map can only be revealed by refining it with a Heavenly Flame..."
As Gu Fei finished speaking, a Heavenly Flame suddenly erupted in his palm, engulfing the ancient map.
"This map doesn't burn?" Cai Lin was surprised. She knew the power of Gu Fei's Heavenly Flame, yet the seemingly fragile map didn't burn at all.
"What material is this fragment made of?" Xiao Yi Xian wondered.
It's worth noting that Gu Fei's Heavenly Flame was a fusion of five different flames, capable
of incinerating mountains and boiling seas.
As the flames intensified, the patterns on the map began to glow, as if ready to burst out of
the map.
At a certain moment, the map trembled violently. The patterns on it suddenly leaped off, transforming into ancient characters that hovered in mid-air before the group.
"Twin Moons Converge.
Nine Stars Unite.
Shift of Heaven and Earth Tides.
Heavenly Flame Descends."
