Chapter 164: Rushing to the Town Market

  "Chirp, chirp, chirp!" The white feathered bird let out a long cry towards the sky, and a rumbling sound came from above. Listening carefully, it was the sound of flapping wings. Looking far into the distance, a patch of white cloud quickly approached, covering half of the sky. In an instant, upon closer inspection, twenty-three large white birds landed in the valley, their feathers ruffled together.

  "Everyone, in order to save time, let's ride on Peng Beast and go!" Bai Yu smiled at Guo Fei and the others.

  This white Peng bird is indeed a good means of transportation. Its body is sturdy, and its back can carry three people without feeling crowded. Guo Fei and the others did not decline, flew onto the white Peng's back, and sat steadily on its back.

  The white swan spreads its wings and rushes into the sky, with a speed that is astonishing. A fierce gust of wind hits you head-on, almost knocking you over in an instant.

  Guo Fei was still on his first ride on the flying beast, and as he felt a sudden drop in altitude, the yuanqi inside him churned and pushed against the gale force winds, forming an invisible protective membrane around his body. Looking over at Bai Yu and his followers, a white, ethereal image of a Peng bird suddenly appeared outside their bodies, its two white wings shielding their entire figures as the gale force winds whizzed past them.

  The monkey, on the other hand, stood upright, letting the gale blow past his body as if it were a knife. The wind whipped his clothes into a loud flutter, but he seemed completely unaware of it. His skin rippled with wave after wave, and there was even a faint metallic sound.

  "The mighty physique of the ape is indeed extraordinary!" Guo Fei took a glance and was instantly slightly shocked, while a sense of reverence rose in his heart. This tenacity was truly exceptionally strong. Guo Fei thought to himself that he hadn't paid such a high price for his own cultivation.

  "Perhaps I should work harder." Guo Fei thought calmly, instantly dispersing the protective yuanqi on his body's surface. He let the fierce winds batter his body, and a chilling "wind blade" swirled around him, making Guo Fei feel as if countless needles were rolling across his body, each one piercing to the bone with intense pain.

  But at the same time, he felt a strong surge of energy automatically rolling out from his body surface and seeping into his skin, as if his skin had become even more solid. Indeed, it was effective. Cultivation was always present, and learning was everywhere. Guo Fei thought to himself, closing his eyes and enduring the biting wind outside his body, gradually getting used to it.

  "Huh!" Looking at Guo Fei, who didn't use his protective yuanqi, yet managed to withstand the full force of the gale, Bai Yu was taken aback. He knew that these white cranes' speed was such that without an extremely strong physique, it would be difficult to endure such a fierce gust. As a member of the demon tribe, Hou Da's body was robust, which he was aware of. But unexpectedly, Guo Fei could also resist the head-on gale in mid-air with his physical body alone, earning Bai Yu's utmost respect.

  At the speed of a white swan, in two days and two nights, a group of people flew over mountains and rivers, and stopped in front of a desolate mountain.

  "After crossing the sharp mountain in front, it's the territory of Huoyun Cave. The Huo Chong tribe has a vast force and occupies many mountains. These mountains have extremely deep caves, with molten lava flowing inside. There is little vegetation on the surface of the mountains. In the Wan Kuang Mountains, this is a particularly special area. Within its jurisdiction, it's not convenient for us to fly, so we can only walk." Bai Yu explained.

  Guo Fei and others nodded, got off the white bird, and walked away. After crossing the mountain, they looked around and saw that layer upon layer of red mist was flowing in the bare mountains, looking exceptionally eerie.

  In the mountains, teams of soldiers wearing armor uniforms patrolled between the mountains. Behind these patrol teams followed a giant fire-red scorpion, some as small as a palm, others several meters long, and some even had two tails with a dark red hook hanging from them, looking cold and menacing.

  Guo Fei knew that this was the territory of the Huo Xie tribe. In the mountains, a wide and spacious road wound its way deep into the mountain interior, with a steady stream of people flowing along the road towards the inside. Guo Fei and his companions followed the crowd onto the road, and from the signs, they saw that the Huo Xie tribe had strictly ordered that anyone entering the Huo Yun Cave must take this road. Since Guo Fei and his companions were there to attend the Fang Shi conference, they naturally didn't want to look for trouble, so they proceeded in an orderly fashion along the road.

  "Oh, isn't that Waste White Feather? How did he end up mixed in with these weak humans. He's really becoming more and more useless!" Just as they had walked out not far away, a mocking voice came from the cave on one side of the passageway, followed by several people flashing out to block Guo Fei and company's path.

  Guo Fei looked up and saw about a dozen people in front of him. The one standing at the forefront was wearing a cyan-colored armor, looking around twenty years old, with an air of mystery and a hint of evil. His eyes were fixed on Bai Yu, with a faint smile that seemed to be mocking him, revealing a thread of contemptuous laughter.

  "Aoki, don't be too arrogant, this isn't your Aokiyama." Shiratori's face turned cold, seemingly wary of the man, and said in a low voice.

  "What's the point of that? Are these useless people going to back you up or something?"

  "Bang!" As soon as the man's voice fell, he suddenly flew out several meters away, scraping out a deep groove of over ten meters long on the ground, and spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

  "Hmph, you dare to be so arrogant in front of my young master?!" The person who made the move was Tianhunzi. He quickly punched the man and knocked him down, then turned around and coldly sneered.

  "Be careful, this person is from the Qingyang Mountain Qinglang tribe, the Qinglang tribe's power is not to be underestimated!" Bai Yu said with a hint of apprehension.

  "Looking for death!" The person who was knocked down jumped up and shouted loudly, with more than a dozen people rushing forward, wanting to take action.

  "Halt! Do you think Fire Cloud Cave is a place for fighting? The current market gathering does not allow brawling, if you want to fight, please go outside the Flame Scorpion Tribe!" A figure clad in red armor descended from the mountain top beside the city, standing before several people and shouting sternly.

  "When the market is over, don't run away, I want your lives." The man's eyes turned cold, and he shouted angrily, quickly running away with a few people by his side. After a brief fight, the man found that Guo Fei and others were not weak, knowing that they couldn't get any benefits, so they took advantage of the opportunity to run away.

  "Be careful, this person's cultivation is not high, but his brother Qing Ya is a genius and has already broken through the boundary of transformation, entering the stage of small success in transformation. His attack power is terrifying, and among our clan, only my cousin Bai Ling can match him. However, my sister rarely goes out, so among the young generation of the Wan Kuang Mountain demon tribe, this person is extremely arrogant and domineering, often bullying us." White Feather said with some resentment.

  "Are you saying that the strong ones from White Peng Cliff don't care?" Guo Fei asked in surprise.

  "The customs of the demon tribe are something you may not know, but things like this are usually settled by oneself. If one goes back to gather help, it won't only fail to achieve a good outcome, but will also be ridiculed by others in the tribe. It's better to just swallow one's pride and endure." White Feather said with some helplessness.

  "Haha. This custom is quite good, it can motivate you to work hard. However, the people of the Qingmu Wolf Tribe had best not provoke me, otherwise I'll let them know that not all humans are pushovers!" Guo Fei said with a faint smile, his eyes revealing a hint of sternness.
