Chapter 111: The Power of the Spirit Clan

  Guo Fei bypassed the soldiers around the barracks and quickly escaped from the Lingdian Temple. The temple was located in a small garrison town with few residents, narrow streets, but high city walls. Upon receiving orders, the soldiers had already closed the city gates tightly.

  Although the city wall was very high, it could not stop Guo Fei. Guo Fei climbed up the city wall and slid down, escaping smoothly.

  After transforming into a second-class warrior with a fifth-level hidden endurance, Guo Fei discovered that his movements had become even more agile, with a feeling of floating and flying. Through learning basic cultivation knowledge, Guo Fei knew that strong beings who could fly in the sky must reach the realm of momentum among humans, comprehend the momentum of heaven and earth, break free from gravity and ascend to become a martial honor. Correspondingly, for the human tribe, the demon tribe needs to reach the demon king realm, the magic tribe needs to reach the magic king realm, and the ghost tribe needs to reach the ghost king realm; only those who reach this level can touch the momentum of heaven and earth and leap into the air.

  However, there is a big difference in flying in the air. One can feel the momentum of heaven and earth. Although the cultivators who can fly have an advantage, their flying speed varies greatly. Only by practicing high-level flying skills can one roam freely in the sky and travel thousands of miles in a day.

  Kuo Fei's speed on the ground had become exceptionally swift after advancing to Yin Ren. A cold current circulated within his body, allowing him to rapidly dash away. Under the cover of stealth, a faint layer of light seemed to envelop his body, blending with the surrounding night colors, rendering himself invisible to anyone.

  Ten kilometers away from the Lingdian Temple in Weicheng, a fish belly white rose in the east, and the thin mist of dawn rose faintly. Busy vendors puffed out thick breaths as they walked on the road.

  Guo Fei glanced at his own shadow, and under the morning sunlight, there was a faint shadow. He suddenly felt a shock, it seemed that even after becoming stealthy, there were still drawbacks. It must be in dark or shaded conditions to completely hide one's body. However, this faint shadow would generally go unnoticed by ordinary people. But when encountering an expert, it wouldn't work.

  For safety's sake, Guo Fei went to a deserted place and summoned Liang Tie. He let him walk in the bright area while he followed behind, hiding in his shadow, making it much safer. Guo Fei knew that with this commotion, he would probably be wanted by the authorities all over Beiyuan soon.

  The Ling tribe warriors arrived here the day after Guo Fei rushed out of the spiritual hall in the afternoon, and when they saw the miserable scene of the spiritual hall, they suddenly became furious. For hundreds of years, except for the demon tribe, no cultivator dared to disrespect the Ling tribe, let alone destroy the spiritual hall.

  After reporting to the master of the house, the Ling tribe issued a wanted order, wanted Guo Fei, which shocked the northern countries. For hundreds of years, the Ling tribe had only issued a wanted order for the assassination of the Demon tribe. Unexpectedly, today, they issued a wanted order for a human being, which shocked the Empire, Kingdom, and Principality. At the same time, they also felt that an opportunity had come. As long as they completed the Ling tribe's wanted order, the benefits would be boundless.

  Such a situation was long anticipated by Guo Fei, the prestige of the Ling tribe is as great as that of a "god" in the human world. In just three days, troops were mobilized frequently along the way, as if something big had happened. Only in the Kingdom of Muhua, the portraits of Guo Fei were quickly posted in various counties and cities, with a reward of 10,000 gold for anyone who provided clues and reported them, and anyone who captured Guo Fei would be granted the title of Marquis of 10,000 households. The rewards are extremely generous.

  After escaping from Weicheng, Guo Fei didn't know where to go. He was unfamiliar with the Beiyuan continent and thought for a moment before deciding to head towards the northern country of Wei. Firstly, he was familiar with the terrain there, and secondly, he guessed that they wouldn't expect him to return north, which would be unexpected; also, he had promised Jin Datong to deliver his token and soul crystal to his family, although he had gotten into trouble, this item still needed to be secretly returned, a person must keep their promises.

  Three days later, Guo Fei had Liang Tie in the light and himself in the dark, walking through the mountains and forests, entering the state of Wei. Through inquiries along the way, Guo Fei learned that King Zhao had been summoned back to the Ling Temple in Muhua State by the Ling clan. Without thinking, Guo Fei understood that this was a plot by the Ling clan to capture him.

  "Stealing a chicken without getting the rice! Zhao Guo probably won't get any benefits this time and will be blamed by the Ling tribe instead. It's likely that Zhao Guo won't last long in Bei Yuan.

  Hehe." In a remote roadside restaurant, Guo Fei appeared, wearing a bamboo hat and eating with Liang Tie, listening to the discussions of warriors traveling across the continent, feeling extremely pleased in his heart.

  "Hmm. Zhao Guo, if you treat me like this, I'd be too kind to let you forget about me. Heh heh." Guo Fei sneered in his heart.

  That night, Guo Fei camped in the mountains and forests of a high mountain, summoning all the Giant Spirit Warriors, Hu Xiaoyue, etc. to be on guard. Guo Fei himself sank his divine sense into the Soldiers' Symbol Space, beginning to repair the Heavenly Soul Orb that had been damaged by his own deception.

  "You old cheat, you want to get me killed? I'll torture you to death first!" Guo Fei cursed at Tian Hunzi as a bolt of black lightning struck towards him.

  "Guo Fei, you're just a low-level human cultivator. I, Tian Hunzi, have roamed the mainland and ghost realm for over a thousand years. If not for your good luck, how could you possibly trap me? I advise you to release me as soon as possible, and I won't hold it against you. Otherwise, one day I will devour you."

  "You're a dog that can't be tamed, today you'll be annihilated!" Guo Fei's mind stirred, and he grasped the Skull Staff in his hand. Guo Fei knew that as long as the Skull Staff was destroyed, this space would collapse, and everything inside, whether it was Tian Hunzi or the two Battle Ghosts, or even the Soul Worm, would all return to nothingness along with the destruction of the Skull Staff.

  "No! Master!" The two conscious war demons were frightened and trembled all over, begging incessantly.

  "Guo Fei, you can't kill me. I am the King of Ghosts!" Tian Hunzi was flustered upon seeing Guo Fei like this.

  "Old cheat, I'll kill you first!" Guo Fei made a move to destroy the skull staff.

  "Don't even think about it. You've offended the Ling tribe and without my guidance, you'll never escape their pursuit." Tian Hunzi said urgently.

  "Heh heh. This young master has a stealth technique, can they find me?" Guo Fei said with a smile.

  "Stealth technique! Although it surprises me, with this secret method, you can't escape either. The Spirit Clan has the Heavenly Eye, which can dispel stealth techniques and track down all phenomena in the world. How can you escape?" Tianhunzi exclaimed urgently.

  "Heavenly Eye?" Guo Fei was shocked, he had never heard of it before.

  "Alright. Old cheat, if you give Young Master Ben a reasonable explanation today, I'll spare your life." Guo Fei hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

  "No way, you promised to let me go if I told you."

  "Don't push your luck!" Guo Fei swung his skull staff, and several black lightning bolts shot out from the skull space, striking Tianhunzi's body. Tianhunzi's eyes, which had been filled with frustration, became incredibly mournful, and he reluctantly lowered his head.

  "The Spirit Clan is different from the Human Clan and the Ghost Clan. Some people in the Spirit Clan are born with two souls in their body, one is the Heavenly Soul and the other is the Life Soul. Therefore, the attribute of the Spirit Clan is determined by the Heavenly Soul, and the attribute dominated by the Heavenly Soul is thunder and lightning and the power of Qiankun. So the Spirit Clan has an unparalleled advantage."

  Guo Fei's expression changed as soon as he heard this. He lowered his voice and said, "Wait a minute. I have both the Earthly Soul and the Mortal Soul coexisting within me. What kind of physique is that?"

  "With a physique like yours, it's called the Golden Body Dark Body. It's a physique for cultivating demonic powers. Anyone with both their earthly soul and mortal soul within their body has this kind of physique. This physique isn't inferior to that of the Spirit Clan. You can cultivate dark magic, but the magical techniques of the Demon Clan have always been passed down through one lineage, mysterious and unpredictable, with unmatched power. Only they have the ability to counterbalance the Spirit Clan. However, the Demon Clan has always been solitary, each sect and faction not cooperating with others, so they were defeated by the Spirit Clan one by one and now are basically extinct on the mainland." Tianhunzi said in a low voice.
