I'm The One Who Will Take Your Life!

Upon arriving in the Pill Region, Gu Fei and his group, decided to rest in a nearby city. After consulting a map, Gu Fei noted that Luo Shen Gorge was to the north. Even at their current pace, it would only take a few days to reach it.

On the way, Gu Fei lingered in several nearby cities. He currently possessed three types of Heavenly Flames, but the reward given by Sky Fire Venerable, the "Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique", required five types of flames. To enhance the technique's power, Gu Fei took some time to gather two additional Beast Flames.

The Pill Region, being the center of Central Plains and the Dou Qi Continent, offered resources far more accessible than elsewhere. In just one day, Gu Fei managed to find two types of Beast Flames that would typically only appear at auctions in other regions. Though the cost was significant, Gu Fei didn't mind, as his status and background afforded him the luxury to spend freely.

"Brother Gu Fei, are you done?" Xiao Yi Xian asked with a smile as she saw Gu Fei emerge from his room.

"Yes, we can head out now," Gu Fei nodded.

"Call those two girls," he added.

Xiao Yi Xian acknowledged and called out to Zi Yan and Qing Lin. Zi Yan, with her mouth full of medicinal pills, responded lazily while chewing, then grabbed Qing Lin and walked over.

"The space wormhole was so boring. Can we ride on the Lion King for a while?" Zi Yan ran up to Gu Fei, grabbing his arm and shaking it.

Gu Fei looked down at Zi Yan, who was giving him an innocent look, her almond eyes blinking, with her sharp little fangs showing.

When Gu Fei didn't immediately respond, Zi Yan shook his arm again, her voice becoming even more coquettish.

"Brother Gu Fei, please~"

Zi Yan's pleading emotion increased, Emotion Value +100

Gu Fei pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed helplessly. He couldn't help but wonder how Xiao Yi Xian managed to keep this girl in line when he himself was already caving in to her pleas.

"Alright, but you must behave on the way," he conceded.

Zi Yan's joyful emotion increased, Emotion Value +100

"Thank you!" Zi Yan beamed with a wide smile.

Gu Fei then turned to the Amethyst Winged Lion King and gave it instructions. The Lion King moved to an open area, where its form shimmered before reverting to its massive beast form.

Zi Yan burst into laughter and quickly jumped onto the Lion King's back. Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin followed Gu Fei and boarded right after.

...

Luo Shen Gorge, located in the northern part of the Pill Region, was a place with extremely complex terrain. Gu Fei's group, riding the Amethyst Winged Lion King, arrived at the location. Standing on a high vantage point, Gu Fei gazed into the distance with a calm expression.

In front of him was a vast, seemingly endless plain of chaotic rocks. The plain was littered with countless dark cracks, like the gaping maws of demons, emerging from the ground and extending far into the distance. The eerie blackness of the cracks sent chills down one's spine.

The plain was also scattered with enormous boulders, some as large as small mountains, exuding a dark, ominous aura. In the sky, thick black fog swirled, a result of the toxic fumes rising from the gorge over many years, almost completely obscuring the sky.

"Let's go in!"

Faced with this treacherous land, Gu Fei did not walk on the ground. Instead, he continued to have the Lion King fly.

Inside the gorge, poisonous creatures roamed freely, and even the ambient energy was tainted with toxic gas. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare to train here, let alone fly in the sky. However, with Gu Fei's Heavenly Flames, any poison in the air that approached them was instantly burned away by the terrifying heat of the flames.

Soon, the Lion King reached the depths of the gorge, where the toxic fog was thick, and the air carried a slight stench. Inhaling it could cause serious trouble, but thanks to Gu Fei's protection, Xiao Yi Xian and the others remained unharmed.

"We're almost there. That's our target," Gu Fei said a few minutes later, instructing the Lion King to stop as he pointed ahead.

Through the thick poisonous fog, a massive white stone fortress could be seen, its outline faintly visible.

*Roar!*

As the Lion King flew within a hundred meters of the fortress, the ground suddenly shook violently. A deafening dragon roar erupted from within the fortress, sending a wave of force that scattered the rocks on the ground.

"This aura... it's actually the Woeful Poison Body! Haha, what luck to run into such a prize today!" 

The dragon roar was followed by a booming laugh, echoing like thunder from within the fortress and rippling through the air.

As the laughter subsided, the sharp sound of something cutting through the air was heard. A blood-red figure shot out from the fortress at lightning speed.

A pair of massive dragon wings, ten meters wide, spread out behind the figure. Trailing behind them was a blood-red scorpion tail, its tip gleaming with a sharp, cold light.

Even the Lion King couldn't help but stiffen, its huge pupils reflecting fear. The figure before them was far more powerful than the Lion King, likely reaching the level of an eight-star Dou Ancestor.

The blood-red figure hovered in the sky, its enormous dragon wings creating gusts of wind with each slow flap. Apart from the wings and the sharp scorpion tail, this Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast was almost indistinguishable from a human. Its face was strikingly handsome, with a hint of sinister charm.

"Don't panic," Gu Fei said calmly, placing a protective barrier around the Lion King before leisurely stepping off its back. He walked towards the Sky Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, each step causing his aura to grow stronger.

As Gu Fei approached, the Sky Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's eyes gradually filled with fear, a stark contrast to its earlier arrogance before the Lion King.

Sky Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's fear increased, Emotion Value +15

But the beast, having grown accustomed to ruling over Luo Shen Gorge, was not about to surrender easily, even in the face of Gu Fei's terrifying pressure.

"Who are you? Are you willing to give up the Woeful Poison Body behind you? This king will reward you handsomely!" 

Sky Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's wariness and greed increased, Emotion Value +15

Its gaze shifted towards Xiao Yi Xian behind Gu Fei, a glint of greed flashing in its eyes.

"Hmph!"

Seeing that the Sky Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast was still harboring evil intentions towards Xiao Yi Xian, Gu Fei snorted coldly. His aura surged like a tidal wave, crashing down on the beast.

"I am the one here to take your life!"
