Chapter 79: The Ancient Sunfire Altar, the Poison Pill Method!
"Could this person be a Dou Venerate expert?"
Feeling the intense pressure emanating from Gu Fei, the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion broke into a cold sweat.
However, before he could make any move, the surrounding space suddenly solidified. Immediately, a cage formed of scorching flames enclosed him completely.
"Sss! Sss!"
In an instant, the Sky Scorpion Dragon Beast felt his skin starting to crackle and pop. "Spare me, senior! I offended you out of ignorance. I beg your mercy, please forgive me..."
Under the searing heat of the heavenly flame prison, the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion quickly realized the vast difference in power between himself and Gu Fei, and hastily begged for mercy.
"Too late..."
Gu Fei shook his head, and the range of the high-Earth tier ranked Dou Technique, Flame Devouring Cage, shrank further.
The cage, filled with a fire infused with three types of merged heavenly flames, was something the Beast, with his Dou Ancestor strength, could not withstand.
With a series of explosive sounds and painful screams, it transformed into his true form-a massive magical beast, stretching hundreds of meters long.
Even in his true form, the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion couldn't escape the flaming prison.
Meanwhile, from the distant horizon, a rustling noise arose, followed by a black line sweeping over like a tidal wave. The sky was filled with toxic gas, swirling above the black line, coalescing into a massive toxic cloud.
"The poison beasts of Luo Shen Gorge are all coming!"
Xiao Yi Xian glanced over at the approaching wave, which was not just a black line but an entire sea of poison beasts. The toxic cloud hovering in the air was formed from the breath of these creatures.
Despite the countless poison beasts approaching, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan showed no fear. After all, the strongest among them, the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion, had been easily subdued by Gu Fei. No matter how many beasts there were, they posed no real threat.
"Senior, I'm a member of the Dragon Scorpion Clan. I beg you to spare my life!"
The Beast spoke in human tongue, continuing to plead with Gu Fei, revealing his identity.
It was clear that he hoped to use the powerful influence of the Dragon Scorpion Clan to intimidate Gu Fei.
"The Dragon Scorpion Clan... Not much of a backing!"
Hearing this, Gu Fei's face showed a hint of amusement. In this world, there were few who could use their background to suppress him. After all, he belonged to the Gu Clan, widely recognized as the foremost of the ancient clans.
Even the Hun Clan had to acknowledge the Gu Clan as the leading ancient clan.
(TL/n: That's cause they're smart and hiding their true strength.)
Next, Gu Fei led the group toward Ye City, which was marked on their map.
...
A day later, a large, dark green city loomed in the distance before Gu Fei and his companions. This city sat on a vast plain, surrounded by lush forests, with roads extending from the woods
into the city.
"We've arrived!"
Seeing the city nestled in the forest, Gu Fei directed the Lion King to fly directly into it.
Ye City, ruled by the once-prestigious Ye Clan, had fallen from its former glory, yet no one dared challenge its authority.
The Ye Clan occupied the city center, where their sprawling estate was located. Ordinary people were forbidden from entering this area, which was heavily guarded. Of course, such
security measures were only effective against common experts...
Gu Fei, riding the Amethyst Winged Lion King, flew straight to the Ye Clan's estate.
"Who dares intrude upon the Ye Clan?"
Soon, numerous Dou Emperor and Dou Ancestor experts of the Ye Clan appeared to intercept
them.
"Do not be alarmed. I am here only to borrow the Ye Clan's ancient sunfire altar!"
Seeing the interception, Gu Fei calmly explained, no longer bothering to conceal his aura. The
aura of a Dou Venerate expert left the Ye Clan members in shock.
Ye Zhong feels astonished and excited. Emotional value +30
Ye Xin Lan feels astonished. Emotional value +50
"I never expected such a young Dou Venerate expert!"
An elderly man in green robes flew up and scrutinized Gu Fei, his eyes filled with surprise.
Through the emotional value notifications, Gu Fei knew this man was Ye Zhong, the Great Elder of the Ye Clan.
"Senior, you should know that our Ye Clan's ancient sunfire altar is never lent out..."
Ye Zhong spoke in a somewhat cautious tone.
