A peaceful life was what Gu Fei yearned for, but he also knew that it was only temporary.
Ever since Gu Fei defeated the Golden Crow Old Ancestor, Luoxia City became lively. The city was bustling with people and cultivators could be seen everywhere.
Not only the major forces of the Southern Mountains, but all the super forces of the Heavenly Domain had their eyes on this inconspicuous little city.
Luoxia City was originally one of the countless cities under the Southern Mountains God Emperor's control. It was located in a remote area and the city lord was an old Immortal Emperor.
The Southern Mountains God Emperor never expected that a lowly city lord under him would have a connection with Gu Fei's mission.
This was definitely a good thing for the Southern Mountains God Emperor. With the Luoxia City Lord as the middleman, he and Gu Fei would have a chance to join forces.
The alliance between the Fire Emperor and the Ancient Heavenly Emperor made the Southern Mountains God Emperor feel a great threat. If these two Emperors joined forces against him, he would lose his territory.
Fortunately, Gu Fei's appearance had completely disrupted the plans of the Fire Emperor and the Ancient Heavenly Emperor. Without the Ancient True Body, it was impossible for him to contend against Gu Fei.
If he could join forces with Gu Fei, he would have a chance to take back half of the Southern Mountains.
However, the Southern Mountains God Emperor also knew that this matter couldn't be rushed. It was impossible for a peerless person like Gu Fei not to know the reason why he was looking for him.
No one was willing to be used by others, especially by those incomparably powerful existences.
The peaceful days continued to pass day by day.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly. On a rugged mountain path a hundred miles away from Luoxia City, an old man in ragged clothes was leading a seven or eight-year-old boy towards Luoxia City.
"Grandpa, drink some water first."
The little boy took the gourd from his waist and handed it to the old man.
"Grandpa is not thirsty."
The ragged old man was sweating profusely. His clothes were drenched in sweat. He wore a straw hat and reached out to wipe the beads of sweat off his forehead.
"Grandpa, we've been walking for half a day. Why don't we find a place to rest before we continue?"
The little boy said. His clothes were tattered, and his face was dirty. However, his big eyes were black and shiny, and they exuded a spiritual aura.
"Alright."
The old man patted the little boy's head and looked around. He saw a small forest by the side of the mountain path, so he led the little boy to the small forest.
The scorching sun scorched the earth, making it very stuffy.
The old man brought the little boy into the woods and sat on the grass, enjoying the rare coolness.
"Grandpa, is the person you mentioned willing to accept me as his disciple?"
The little boy asked the old man innocently.
"Yes, he will definitely accept you as his disciple."
The old man looked at the little boy and said seriously.
"Is that person very powerful? Can he beat those bad guys?"
The little boy tilted his head and said.
"That person is definitely the strongest existence in this world. Those bad guys are no match for him at all."
The old man raised his head and looked into the distance. His eyes became incomparably deep.
"If that's the case, then I will worship him as my teacher and ask him to teach me the most powerful ability. Then, I will avenge my parents."
The little boy said fiercely. His eyes were red.
"That's a must. You have to kill those people yourself."
The old man seemed to have thought of something. His body trembled and his eyes became incomparably fierce.
"Yes, Grandpa."
A childish voice sounded.
"Alright, let's continue our journey."
The old man stood up from the ground and said to the little boy.
This pair of grandfather and grandson had a story. They didn't seem to be ordinary people. The old man's face was a little pale. Although his clothes were tattered, his exposed hands were white and flawless, as if they were carved from divine jade.
The little boy was also not an ordinary little boy. Although he was dirty from head to toe, he was a piece of unpolished jade.
The grandfather and grandson continued their journey. The mountain road was rugged, but they didn't walk slowly.
When the sun went down, the grandfather and grandson arrived outside Luoxia City. They took advantage of the fact that the city gate hadn't been closed yet and entered Luoxia City.
The grandfather and grandson didn't have anything valuable on them. They couldn't afford to stay in an inn. They could only spread a layer of withered grass in a small corner of an alley. Then, they lay on the withered grass and rested.
The next day, at dawn, the old man and the little boy got up. They inquired about the city and went directly in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, in the City Lord's Mansion of Luoxia City, the Old City Lord was holding a banquet. Because today was very special, the Old City Lord's granddaughter had returned. This made the Old City Lord very happy.
Yan 'er hadn't left the courtyard for more than half a year.
Since Gu Fei's family lived in the courtyard, the Old City Lord moved to Luoxia City. This was because Gu Fei liked peace and quiet and didn't want to be disturbed.
In fact, even if the Old City Lord also lived in the courtyard, he wouldn't be able to see his precious granddaughter. This was because Yan 'er usually cultivated in Gu Fei's Inner World.
Gu Fei's Inner World was full of Spiritual Qi. It was a treasure land that countless cultivators dreamed of for a long time. Cultivating in such a place would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
On this day, Yan 'er asked for a day's leave from her Grandmaster and returned to Luoxia City to visit her grandfather.
This was a family banquet. Although there were only the Old City Lord and Yan 'er, the dishes on the table were incomparably sumptuous. One must know that the Old City Lord was an Immortal Emperor, so he could get some rare delicacies.
Just as the Old City Lord was holding a banquet to welcome Yan 'er, two ragged people appeared outside the City Lord's Mansion. One of them was an old man, and the other was a little boy.
The old man led the little boy directly to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Halt."
An armored guard standing outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion immediately blocked the old man and the little boy with a divine spear in his hand.
"We want to see the City Lord. Please pass a message for us."
The old man said politely to the guard.
"What … …"
The guard thought that he had misheard. His face revealed an incomparably shocked expression. He then looked at the old man and the little boy from head to toe.
"Hurry up and get out of here. Our City Lord is not someone you can see."
The guard waved his hand disdainfully and said.
These two fellows were even worse than the beggars in the city. The fact that they wanted to see the City Lord made the guard feel incredulous. He couldn't imagine what kind of relationship the City Lord had with these people.
"Please pass a message for us. We really want to see the City Lord."
The old man refused to leave.
"Aiyo, are you done yet?"
The guard was annoyed. He glared at the old man and swept the divine spear in his hand.
Just as the guard's divine spear was about to hit the old man, a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the guard's divine spear.
"Don't hit my grandpa."
A childish voice was heard. The person who grabbed the divine spear was the little boy standing next to the old man.
"What … …"
The guard was extremely shocked. He never expected a seven or eight-year-old boy to be able to grab his divine spear.
He wanted to pull the divine spear back. However, he realized that he couldn't. The little boy's strength was shocking.
"Roar."
The guard roared and exerted his strength.
However, at this moment, the little boy suddenly let go.
The guard didn't expect the little boy to let go of his spear so suddenly. He immediately lost his balance and took a few steps back. Bam. His back hit the wall hard.
"You … …"
The guard was furious. He raised the divine spear in his hand and stabbed it at the little boy.
"Hmph, you've gone too far."
The old man snorted angrily and took a step forward. A powerful aura immediately erupted from his body and his turbid eyes shone with a bright light.
"Who are you? How dare you come here and behave atrociously."
The guard was shocked and quickly stopped. These two grandfather-granddaughter pair were not ordinary. Perhaps they really had some background. Could it be that they really knew the City Lord?
The guard was not stupid. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to guard the gate.
Not everyone could be a guard at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, a Divine General walked out.
"Sir, these two men wish to pay a visit to the City Lord."
The guard said to the Divine General.
"You want to see the City Lord?"
The Divine General couldn't help but size up the old man and the little boy. He frowned as he couldn't see through the duo.
"The City Lord has something to do today. He has given the order that no one is to disturb him. You two should go back."
The Divine General said to the old man.
"Hmph, how arrogant."
The old man sneered.
"What did you say?"
The divine general's eyes immediately shone with an extremely sharp light. He stared at the old man as a powerful aura of the divine way radiated from him.
"Immortal Spirit."
The old man's eyes lit up. He wouldn't care about Immortal Spirits under normal circumstances. But now, his cultivation base was half-crippled.
With his cultivation base half-crippled, he was no match for an Immortal Spirit.
"We're not people you can afford to offend. You'd better ask the City Lord to come out."
The old man said.
At this moment, the Divine General was bewildered and uncertain.
"Alright."
The Divine General thought for a moment before he turned around and entered the City Lord's Mansion.
Soon, the Divine General came out again. He opened the gate and welcomed the old man and the little boy. Then, he led the old man and the little boy into a courtyard behind the City Lord's Mansion.
In the courtyard, an old man and a young girl were having a meal under a big tree.
"You two want to see me."
The old City Lord stood up and looked at the two people in front of him curiously. Although they were dressed shabbily, their temperament was extraordinary.
"Not bad."
The old man nodded.
