The Barbarian Ancient City Lord had another identity, the Barbarian Race's Patriarch.
The Barbarian Race was also a branch of the Human Race. However, the Barbarian Race's ancient human bloodline was much thicker than ordinary humans. Therefore, the Barbarian Race was much stronger than ordinary humans.
The Barbarian Race's Patriarch was undoubtedly powerful. When the disheveled old man heard that Gu Fei wanted him to lead the way to the Barbarian Race's Patriarch, the disheveled old man turned pale with fright.
"What, you don't want to?"
Gu Fei glanced at the disheveled old man and said.
"You don't say, I really don't want to. I haven't lived long enough, I don't want to die yet."
The disheveled old man shook his head and said.
"Why are you so afraid of the Barbarian Race's Patriarch?"
Gu Fei was a little surprised. This disheveled old man wasn't simple at all. Under the scan of his Martial Path Heavenly Eye, he discovered that this disheveled old man was actually a powerful Sage.
He could only sense the aura of two Sages in Barbarian Ancient City, but this disheveled old man wasn't one of them.
In other words, this disheveled old man possessed some sort of secret technique that could completely conceal his Sage aura, preventing other Sages from discovering it.
If it wasn't for Gu Fei's Martial Path Heavenly Eye, he wouldn't have been able to see through this disheveled old man.
"Tsk, I'm not afraid of that guy, I just don't want to see him."
The disheveled old man was unhappy.
"Is that so?"
Gu Fei didn't believe it.
"Hmph, believe it or not."
The disheveled old man said disapprovingly. Then, he drank the wine in his bowl and touched his mouth as though he was enjoying it.
In fact, the wine provided by this inn was really ordinary. It wasn't any spiritual wine or immortal brew, it was just a wine brewed with some common spiritual herbs.
Of course, this wine wasn't of much use to cultivators, but it could strengthen the body of mortals.
Therefore, many mortals in Barbarian Ancient City would come here to drink a few cups from time to time. The humans in Barbarian Ancient City rarely fell sick.
"Hmm, how about this? You just need to tell me where the City Lord of Barbarian Ancient City is and this pot of wine will be yours."
After saying that, Gu Fei took out a jade pot and pulled out the cork. The fragrance of wine immediately filled the air, but he immediately closed the mouth of the pot.
"This is …"
Upon smelling the fragrance of the wine, the disheveled old man was moved. He stared at the jade pot in Gu Fei's hand as his hands trembled. It was as though he could pounce over and snatch the jade pot away at any moment.
"As long as you tell me where the Barbarian Ancient City Lord is, this pot of wine will be yours."
Gu Fei looked at the disheveled old man and said with a smile before placing the wine flask on the table in front of him.
The disheveled old man was definitely an alcoholic. He should be a Wine Saint. This rare immortal wine was definitely a great temptation for him. He was struggling in his heart.
Within the jade pot was definitely a rare immortal wine. Just the smell of the wine was enough to make the disheveled old man feel as though his heart was being bitten by countless ants.
"Why? You still won't tell me? Alright then, I don't want to force you."
Gu Fei said and was about to take back the jade pot.
"Don't."
The disheveled old man hurried to stop Gu Fei.
This fella was simply too despicable. Even though he said that he didn't want to force others, he was doing it openly. This was preposterous!
"Why?"
Gu Fei said.
"Hais, forget it."
The disheveled old man sighed before sending a voice transmission to Gu Fei.
Gu Fei smiled. The City Lord of Barbarian Ancient City wasn't in Barbarian Ancient City. It seemed like a forbidden ground in the Northern Snowy Region had opened up. The City Lord of Barbarian Ancient City had left Barbarian Ancient City and headed towards that forbidden ground. He wanted to obtain the legendary heaven-defying fortune.
"Heaven-defying fortune? What is that?"
Gu Fei was very curious as he sent a voice transmission to the disheveled old man.
"Hehe, this is a heaven-defying fortune …"
The disheveled old man wanted to say something but stopped.
"Hurry up and say it."
Gu Fei said hurriedly.
"I don't know either."
The disheveled old man scratched the messy white hair on his head and said.
"What …?"
When Gu Fei heard this, he really wanted to kick this unreliable disheveled old man into the West Underworld Ocean of the Heaven Realm.
"Heaven-defying fortune …"
Gu Fei fell into deep thought. He had found out some things about Barbarian Ancient City from the disheveled old man. The City Lord of Barbarian Ancient City was a Saint. What kind of heaven-defying fortune was there for a Saint to risk his life and head towards that forbidden ground?
Something that could make a Saint to risk his life was definitely not simple. Perhaps, it was something left behind by a Supreme.
At this moment, the disheveled old man had already snatched the pot of wine in front of Gu Fei. He then took out a small wine cup from his body and carefully removed the cork before filling it up.
"Are you tempted? But I advise you to stop dreaming. That heaven-defying fortune isn't that easy to obtain. If it was that easy, this old man would have gone there long ago."
The disheveled old man glanced at Gu Fei and said.
"Hmph, you can't get it because you don't have the luck. It doesn't mean that others can't get it."
Gu Fei said.
"Haha, could it be that you are one of those lucky ones with great luck?"
The disheveled old man glanced at Gu Fei in disdain and said. Luck was something that was very elusive. It couldn't be caught or touched. It was hard to say.
Gu Fei didn't say anything else. He already knew what he wanted to know. He planned to go to that forbidden ground to take a look. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a heaven-defying fortune?
Everyone was tempted. Otherwise, the City Lord of Barbarian Ancient City wouldn't have taken the risk to head there.
"You really want to go?"
This time, the disheveled old man was a little surprised. He couldn't see through this young man in black. Only someone who was also a Sage and had a secret technique to hide his aura could not be seen through.
"I can't say. Haha …"
Gu Fei said with a smile. Then, he stood up and threw a spiritual stone on the table. He then left the hall and returned to his residence.
"Spiritual stone, this is good stuff."
The disheveled old man snatched the spiritual stone and kept it. This spiritual stone was the size of half a fist. It was enough for him to eat and drink here for at least a month.
"Where did this guy come from? He's so generous."
The disheveled old man sighed.
There weren't many spiritual stone mines in the Northern Snowy Region. Moreover, they were all controlled by the major forces. It wasn't impossible for outsiders to obtain spiritual stones. They just had to exchange spiritual materials and medicine with the major forces for spiritual stones.
Although the disheveled old man was a Sage, he was a rogue cultivator. He had suffered a lot to reach the Sage Realm. Naturally, he had developed the habit of being thrifty.
The night passed uneventfully. On the second day, Gu Fei left Barbarian Ancient City and headed to the forbidden area that the disheveled old man mentioned.
The so-called forbidden area was actually the forbidden area in the Heaven Realm. Just like the West Mysterious Ocean, there were all kinds of dangers in the forbidden area. One could die there if one wasn't careful.
There was also a forbidden area in the Northern Snowy Region. It was located at the extreme north. It was a mountain range without ice and snow. The mountain range had a radius of a million miles. It was full of vitality and spiritual energy. It was a warm place like spring.
However, such a treasured land was a forbidden zone for the countless living beings in the northern snowy region. Very few living beings that stepped into the forbidden zone were able to walk out alive.
This forbidden area was usually hidden from the world and was enveloped by a supreme grand formation. However, every ten thousand years, the power of the grand formation would weaken. At that time, this forbidden area would appear in the world.
Every time this happened, countless living beings would come and enter the forbidden area. They wanted to obtain the legendary great fortune.
The formation of the forbidden area would only weaken for about half a year. All living beings that entered the forbidden area had to come out in this world. Otherwise, they would be trapped inside until they died.
At this time, three months had passed since the forbidden zone had appeared. In another three months or so, the forbidden zone would disappear.
After the forbidden area disappeared, even Holy Venerables would not be able to sense the existence of the forbidden area.
Gu Fei headed straight for the extreme north. Very quickly, he discovered that someone was following him. He tried to shake that person off several times, but to no avail.
In the end, Gu Fei used the Anti-Void Secret Technique and hid in the void.
Soon, a disheveled old man with a big gourd on his waist appeared behind a huge rock in the distance. He was looking at where Gu Fei was.
"What's going on? Where did he go? Why did he disappear all of a sudden?"
The disheveled old man was puzzled. He could not sense the aura of the black-robed young man any longer – that was unbelievable. After all, he was rather confident in his tracking skills.
"So, it's you, old fogey."
Just as the disheveled old man thought that he had embarrassed Gu Fei the most, a voice rang in his ears.
"Bloody hell!"
The disheveled old man's shock was no small matter as he jumped up from the ground in fright.
Right then, Gu Fei's figure appeared in front of the disheveled old man.
"You …!"
The disheveled old man's eyeballs were about to pop out. How could this be? How did this black-robed young man manage to fuse with the world such that even he could not sense his existence?
"You what? I'm asking you, why are you following me?"
Gu Fei glared at the disheveled old man and a powerful aura emanated from his body.
"You're a Saint indeed."
The disheveled old man sighed.
"You haven't answered my question."
Gu Fei said indifferently.
"Haha, who said that I'm following you? Are you the only one allowed to enter the forbidden zone and I can't?"
The disheveled old man burst into laughter.
"You're pretty eloquent, old fogey."
Gu Fei stared at the disheveled old man for a long time before replying.
"Eloquent."
Gu Fei's reply was so baffling that the disheveled old man was bewildered.
"Alright, let's go on our way then."
Gu Fei said before turning around and continuing forward.
The disheveled old man laughed and chased after him.
