Heading to the Northwest Continent!

The Northwest Continent had a great many people blessed with immense fortune.

If he could stir the emotions of those favored by fortune over on the Northwest Continent...

Gu Fei narrowed his eyes. That would be far better than staying in the Gu Realm.

Moreover, with his current strength, he had more than enough ability to establish himself on the Northwest Continent.

The Northwest Continent was barren and lacking in resources, so powerful experts were generally scarce.

Though it had its top figures, its overall strength was completely inferior to that of the Eastern Region.

Setting aside Gu Fei's strength, his ability to refine Seventh Grade Pills alone would be enough to make many great clans treat him as an honored guest.

After all, Seventh Grade Pills were not something commonly found throughout the Northwest Continent.

Since he had decided to leave, Gu Fei needed to make preparations.

He had never fought an unprepared battle. Though he was confident in his own strength, Gu Fei had never liked being overconfident.

It was better to make thorough preparations.

The Gu Realm possessed abundant cultivation resources and rare medicinal herbs. It would be far too wasteful if Gu Fei did not make use of them.

With his status and formidable strength, recognized by everyone among the younger generation, many resources were preferentially allocated to Gu Fei.

Not to mention that his grandfather was the Black Annihilation King.

Quite a few precious medicinal herbs had remained after his previous refinement of Seventh Grade Pills, and Gu Fei gathered all of them.

He also brought along a great deal of cultivation resources, stuffing everything into his Storage Ring.

Over the past few days, Gu Fei had been so busy preparing resources that he had become somewhat flustered.

After taking a brief rest, he finally remembered that he had forgotten to inform his grandfather, Gu Lie.

He walked unhurriedly to the door and raised a hand to knock.

After a moment, Gu Lie opened the door. Seeing his grandson, who was hardly ever around all day, he smiled faintly.

Though he was Gu Fei's grandfather, he did not look particularly old.

On the contrary, Gu Lie had a handsome face and a straight, upright figure. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a faint glint in his eyes.

There was no fluctuation of Dou Qi around Gu Lie, but Gu Fei knew that if his grandfather did not act, that was one thing—once he did, blood would surely be spilled.

Anyone who dared underestimate him because of his appearance would be finished.

"Grandfather, I plan to go out and travel for a while. If I keep staying in the Gu Realm, I won't be able to grow stronger."

Gu Fei simply spoke his mind. After all, Gu Lie understood him best.

Gu Lie had learned early on about Gu Fei and Xun'er's separation. Though he had not deliberately sought Gu Fei out, he knew that his grandson might be in a poor mood right now.

Even though Gu Fei appeared calm and indifferent, as though he did not care at all.

But Gu Lie remembered clearly how full of love Gu Fei had been when he sought to marry Xun'er.

When Gu Yuan had agreed, Gu Fei had been unable to keep the smile off his face all day. Gu Lie had laughed at him for quite some time over it.

Now, Gu Fei had become much more steady in temperament, and his emotions no longer showed any obvious fluctuations.

Gu Lie did not know whether that was good or bad. He only wanted his grandson to be healthy and happy.

Since Gu Fei had taken the initiative to say he wanted to go out, it would be good for him to take a walk outside.

Gu Lie was not particularly concerned with whether Gu Fei's strength could improve.

In his view, his grandson was already outstanding and exceptionally talented. His strength would certainly reach great heights in the future; there was no need to rush over this little bit of time.

What Gu Lie hoped for was for Gu Fei to be happier.

Besides, Gu Fei had always been someone with his own ideas.

Since he had brought it up, Gu Lie naturally agreed without hesitation.

He even took out quite a few treasured items he had kept hidden away, along with a large pile of cultivation resources, and stuffed them all into Gu Fei's hands.

Gu Fei did not know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only accept everything.

Once he had packed all his belongings, he gave Gu Lie a simple farewell and quietly left the Gu Realm.

Other than Gu Lie, Gu Fei told no one.

But he was a prominent figure in the Gu Realm. Once he had not been seen for several days, there would always be clever people who could guess that Gu Fei had left the Gu Realm.

However, that was a matter for later.

At this moment, Gu Fei had left the Gu Realm and entered Ancient Saint City, arriving in the Eastern Region.

Ancient Saint City was where the passage connecting the Gu Realm to the outside world was located. The moment he stepped out of the spatial passage, he felt wave after wave of scorching gazes.

Outsiders were strictly forbidden from entering Ancient Saint City, and most of those stationed there were powerful experts of the Gu Clan.

These experts all knew Gu Fei. He was the strongest among the younger generation.

Yet they were well-trained and did not come over to strike up a conversation.

They merely stood where they were, looking at Gu Fei with the admiration reserved for the strong.

Gu Fei paused for a moment, then headed toward the gates of Ancient Saint City.

The soldiers guarding the gates respectfully greeted him before stepping aside to let him pass.

If Ancient Saint City had the greatest reputation in the Eastern Region, then the Gu Realm was the supreme ruler of the entire Eastern Region.

The Eastern Region of the Central Plains was vast beyond measure and filled with all sorts of people. The easiest way to get by here was to have the backing of a Gu Clan-affiliated faction.

There were even many in the Eastern Region who regarded members of the Gu Clan as gods and worshipped them fanatically.

Such frenzied attitudes were astonishing, yet they also revealed just how exalted the Gu Clan's status was in the Eastern Region.

If Gu Fei chose to develop in the Eastern Region, he would be like a fish in water; nothing could go more smoothly.

However, as good as the Eastern Region was, it was not the place where Gu Fei wished to temper himself.

His destination was the rather barren Northwest Continent.

Gu Fei had already embarked on his journey to the Northwest Continent.

Yet he received a baffling system notification.

Xun'er felt regret. Emotion Value +300

It turned out that news of Gu Fei leaving the Gu Realm had quietly spread elsewhere. Upon learning of it, Xun'er felt even more regretful.

But after that notification, there were no further changes. Gu Fei's gaze remained indifferent, and he did not care.

Within the Gu Realm, although Xun'er regretted it, she seemed even more worried about Brother Xiao Yan's safety.

After all, ever since Gu Yao sent people to kill Xiao Yan, leaving him gravely wounded and missing, Xun'er had not seen Xiao Yan even once.

Xun'er convinced herself that her trip to the Northwest Continent was to search for Brother Xiao Yan.

It was definitely not because Gu Fei had gone there too.

After convincing herself, she planned to quietly leave the Gu Realm and head for the Northwest Continent.

Within the Gu Realm.

When Xun'er quietly departed that day, quite a few people saw her figure.

Though she had wanted to slip away secretly, her strength would have allowed her to avoid detection by the vast majority.

However, because Xun'er was restless and distracted when preparing to leave, some people noticed that she had already departed from the Gu Realm.

As Gu Fei and Xun'er, the two most talented young man and young woman of their generation, left one after the other, many people could not help but feel moved.

"Do you think Brother Gu Fei and Miss Xun'er left the Gu Realm to seek opportunities?"

"Even an unparalleled genius like Brother Gu Fei has left. If we want to grow stronger, should we remain in the Gu Realm, or follow in his footsteps and leave as well?"

The Gu Clan had always been powerful, but they also revered strength even more.

They would do everything possible to become stronger, but they would never resort to such despicable methods.
