In an abandoned courtyard in the east of Hong Yue City, Gu Fei sat cross-legged under a withered tree as he circulated his Xuan Qi to heal his injured body.
With his cultivation at the peak 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm, he had trained his bones to the point that they were as tough as steel. He was strong enough to fight against magic treasures of cultivators at the same level as him.
However, demonic cultivators at the 7th and 8th Sky of the Ascended Realm were extremely powerful. They were at least 4 or 5 Heavens higher than him. The current Gu Fei still couldn't fight against such a powerful opponent.
The kick from the Zhao Clan's older generation expert was so powerful that not only did it shatter his sternum, but it also penetrated his internal organs, causing his internal organs to be shaken violently.
Under the tree, rays of spiritual light flowed on the surface of Gu Fei's body. This was the origin energy of a cultivator. It originated from the flesh and flowed out. The five elements resonated with each other. Gu Fei seemed to have escaped into the world around him.
He didn't dare to connect with the world and use the power of the 5 elements to heal his injured body. This was because if he did, it would be easy for the experts in the city to sense the ripples of energy between Heaven and Earth.
There was no lack of experts in Hong Yue City. Those true experts could even sense the slightest ripple of energy in the air and find the source by following the ripple.
This was also the reason why Gu Fei had to consume a spiritual herb. The purple mark between his eyebrows appeared, and the Space Energy within the Inner Space spread out like ripples of water from the vertical mark between his eyebrows.
Under the cover of the power of the Inner Space, Gu Fei seemed to have jumped out of the three realms. Although he didn't enter the Inner Space, it was as if he was inside it.
His aura and energy fluctuations were completely isolated, sealed in the void around him, unable to benefit in the slightest.
Just now, he had used this ability to successfully ambush the elder from the Zhao family.
Under the cover of the Inner Space, not to mention cultivators at the Ascended Realm, even those at the Void Controlling Realm who had a basic understanding of "Dao" wouldn't be able to sense Gu Fei's existence.
This skill that came from Gu Fei's Inner Space was more useful and powerful than any concealment technique. This was a skill that only those who had opened up their own Inner Space could have.
Gu Fei was not the kind of Great Divine Ability that could open up an Inner World. It had to be said that the fact that he could possess such a technique was a complete exception. Perhaps he was unique, an exception that had never been seen before or since.
One had to say that Gu Fei's physique had reached an unbelievable level. Four hours later, Gu Fei's cracked ribs had already healed.
His internal injuries were all healed as well. Wave after wave of powerful energy washed through his flesh, blood, tendons, and bones, causing Gu Fei to feel as if he was cast from steel, giving off a powerful pressure.
The medicinal power of the Spirit Grass was completely absorbed by his body and transformed into a huge amount of energy that was stored in his body. Looking inside himself, he could see that every inch of his flesh and blood, every piece of his muscles and bones, was emitting a faint five-colored glow.
His cultivation seemed to be purer than before he was injured. However, his cultivation didn't break through because of this. He was still at the peak of the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm.
"When can I break through to the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm?" Gu Fei opened his eyes and stood up from under the tree. He habitually lifted his head to look at the sky, only to find that there was no starlight in the dark sky. He couldn't tell the time at all.
If it was in the Central Plains, he could use the strength of the starlight and the position of the moon to tell the approximate time. However, in the extreme northern demon region, this method didn't work.
In the extreme northern demon region, seeing the stars and the moon was a luxury.
"It's time to find some trouble for the Zhao Family." Gu Fei muttered to himself. A sharp light flashed in his eyes and the entire deserted courtyard suddenly lit up.
Then, Gu Fei's figure disappeared into the darkness. The deserted courtyard seemed so quiet and desolate in the darkness.
The night wind blew and the broken doors and windows made creaking sounds. In this dark night, it was especially creepy.
After daybreak, the various demon sects in Hong Yue City were in an uproar. Some people found high levelled cultivators lying on the streets or dead in their residences.
A demon master of the Ascended Realm from the Zhao Family was killed in his residence. When his servant woke up in the morning, he found that the bedroom door was unlocked. The servant didn't dare to disturb the demon master and waited outside for half a day.
However, the bedroom was very quiet. There was no sound at all, so the servant carefully walked into the bedroom. The scene in the bedroom almost made the servant faint.
The demon master died a horrible death. His chest and abdomen were pierced through. His head was smashed by something and the blood that splattered had already dried up.
The experts of the Zhao Family who received the news rushed over. After seeing the demon master's corpse, their faces became extremely ugly. They seemed to have seen something but they didn't say anything.
In the Meng Family of Hong Yue City, a demon master's corpse was lying on the street. There were only two wounds on his body and they seemed to be caused by the finger force. One was on his forehead. His brain was shattered and his head was pierced. The other was on his abdomen. Even the demon core in his abdomen was broken into thousands of pieces.
The two wounds looked like they were burnt. There was not a drop of blood on the corpse or the ground. This overbearing finger force was very similar to the Divine Piercing Finger force of the Zhao Family.
In Hong Yue City, besides the Meng Family, experts from other forces were also killed. There were only two wounds on their bodies. One was on their forehead and the other on their dantian.
"This is a conspiracy. Someone is framing my Zhao Family!" Zhao Shentong, the head of the Zhao Family, roared in front of the higher-ups of the major forces who came to question him.
Because even someone from the Meng Family was suspected to have died under the Divine Piercing Finger of the Zhao Family, and the City Lord of Hong Yue City, Meng Lang, had personally come to the Zhao Family to denounce them. In an instant, all the spearheads were pointed at the Zhao Family.
In Hong Yue City, the Zhao Family was a major demonic force second only to the Meng Family. Not only was the Meng Family afraid of the Zhao Family, but the other demonic forces were also eager to take this opportunity to attack the Zhao Family.
There were even people who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to bring down the Zhao Family.
The atmosphere in Hong Yue City suddenly became tense. Even if the other forces in Hong Yue City knew that someone was framing the Zhao Family, they didn't plan to let the Zhao Family go.
This was especially true for the Meng Family. The strength of the Zhao Family threatened the Meng Family's rule over Hong Yue City. If the Meng Family didn't have a super expert holding down the fort, the Zhao Family would have taken action long ago.
Even so, in the past few years, the Zhao Family had gradually become restless. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Zhao Family was eyeing the position of City Lord of Hong Yue City covetously.
At this time, Gu Fei had changed his appearance again. He mingled in the city and observed the movements in the city. He knew that the Zhao Family had to deal with the pressure from all sides and still couldn't send people to kill him.
The City Lord's Mansion was the largest and most imposing building in Hong Yue City. The City Lord's Mansion was located in the center of Hong Yue City. It was like a city within a city, and it was formed by a group of magnificent buildings.
In an inconspicuous courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion lived the most powerful person in the entire Hong Yue City. However, this person wasn't the City Lord of Hong Yue City, Meng Lang.
At this time, there were disputes everywhere in the city. However, the several major forces had been causing trouble in the Zhao Family for an entire day, but no intense conflict had broken out. The major forces had vaguely formed a common front against the Zhao Family. However, these people were loud like thunder, but there was no rain.
To be able to survive in Hong Yue City, the upper echelons of these forces were all shrewd. No one was willing to stand out. They all waved the flag and shouted, then watched from the side.
The situation didn't develop as Gu Fei had expected.
It was dusk again. The sun shone through the dusky sky, but it wasn't able to penetrate the dark sky and shine into the Northern Demon Region.
No one knew what caused such an abnormal phenomenon to appear in the Northern Demon Region. Some people said that in order to understand why the Northern Demon Region didn't see the light of day, they would have to trace it all the way back to when the Northern Demon Region was formed.
However, no one knew how the Northern Demon Region was formed, and no one knew when the Northern Demon Region had appeared. From the beginning of the written records, the Northern Demon Region had already existed.
No one knew what had happened in the distant ancient times.
In the ordinary courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion of Hong Yue City, an old man was lying on a rattan chair under a tree. He held a white jade wine pot in his hand, leisurely tasting the wine.
The fragrance of the wine could be smelled from far away.
This old man was thin and wore a purple robe. He had white hair and a youthful complexion. The bright red nose on his face was extremely conspicuous.
This unprepossessing and somewhat wretched looking old man was the old man who had gotten drunk on the ninth floor of the Red Moon Restaurant yesterday.
Just as the old man's eyes were slightly closed and he was gently rocking the rattan chair, enjoying the leisurely time, a red-faced man wearing a black robe and a purple crown on his head hurriedly walked in from outside.
"What matter has made you so impatient!?" The red-faced man walked closer. The old man's eyes were still slightly closed, but he had already opened his mouth to speak. There seemed to be a hint of reproach in his tone.
"Father, I'm afraid you'll have to take action this time!" The red-faced man wearing a purple gold crown stood respectfully beside the old man as he spoke.
If anyone saw this scene, they would probably be so shocked that their jaws would drop to the ground.
The middle-aged man wearing a purple gold crown and a face that seemed to be smeared with a layer of cinnabar was none other than the City Lord of Hong Yue City, Meng Lang. It was obvious who Meng Lang called his father.
This somewhat wretched looking old man who loved wine as much as his life was Meng Lang's father, the true ruler of Hong Yue City, Meng Changkong.
