Chapter 118: The Plan for Escaping

  When he heard the word "demon", Guo Fei was also extremely shocked, never expecting that this delicate girl would be a "demon".

  The Demon Clan and the Spirit Clan are both extremely mysterious existences, not only because of their strange and powerful abilities, but also because of their extremely long lifespan. Especially the Demon Clan, which is despised by the Human Clan, in all recorded books, the Demon Clan is depicted as an extremely ugly existence, with men being described as having wings on their backs, horns on their heads, green faces and sharp teeth, drinking blood and eating humans. Their women are born with a bewitching charm, specializing in seducing cultivators to absorb their vital energy and increase their own cultivation.

  Guo Fei did not expect that the one who would save him was actually a demon, and he was both shocked and secretly on guard in his heart. His figure retreated backwards, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to escape.

  "Little brother, I saved you, and you don't even show a little gratitude? Not even a thank you to your sister?" The woman looked at Guo Fei with a glance, swaying her extremely seductive body in the air, and said in a soft voice.

  "Heh heh. I'm afraid you're just like them, with ulterior motives too. However, this young master isn't someone who forgets kindness and betrays trust. Today's matter, I will remember." Guo Fei said coldly with a slight smile to the woman floating in mid-air.

  "Hehehe! Sister will save you, of course, I'll save you to the end. Come with me now, or these bad people won't let you off." The woman giggled and swung her body, like a black mist swiftly floating towards Guo Fei.

  "Whoosh!" A blinding flash of lightning suddenly shot out from the direction of the County Master's mansion, striking towards this woman. The woman was taken aback, her body tensed up, and with a flick of her wrist, a black light ball shot out, dispersing the lightning.

  "Heh heh, is the Dark Demon Temple going to make a move? The long unseen Dark Demon has actually come out to send himself to death!" A deep voice came from the direction of the County Master's mansion, followed by three streaks of lightning clouds floating in the dark night sky. Three warriors riding thunder leopards descended from the air and surrounded the woman in a triangular formation.

  "Haha, so it's the Thunder Leopard Knight. What good luck!" The woman said with a light smile, seemingly unaware of what was going on.

  His laughter had not yet faded, and with a wave of his hand, the floating willow leaf knife suddenly flipped out and swiftly slashed towards one of the Lei Bao riders. This rider was like an enemy at the gate, and the long spear in his hand instantly shot out over a dozen times in rapid succession, the spearhead flashing as it drew a lightning-fast electric net in mid-air that shot towards the willow leaf knife.

  The willow leaf knife stabbed like lightning, but was instantly blocked by the web of electric arcs. The willow leaf knife did not pierce the electric arc, and the electric arc web split out flashes of lightning that shot onto the willow leaf knife, pinning it in mid-air.

  At the same time, two other Leopard Riders also made their move, their long spears flashing as they shot out arcs of electricity that formed a wrist-thick net hurtling towards the woman. The net flashed with an intensity that seemed to envelop the entire sky.

  "Hmph, the Ling tribe's Thunder Net technique is indeed becoming more refined. Even a small Spirit General has such refined skills, not simple at all." The woman seemed to be unaffected, her body spinning as large amounts of black mist surged up from around her, enveloping everything in its surroundings. As soon as the black mist came into contact with the Willow Leaf Blade, it was as if the blade had received a massive surge of energy, instantly cutting down all the lightning arcs. In the space filled with black mist, the lightning arcs seemed to be corroded, their light unable to shine far before disappearing. The entire Thunder Net gradually dispersed into thin air.

  "Devouring Light, Dark Fog! The exclusive technique of the Shadow Palace's direct lineage, what is your origin!" The three knights shouted in unison, slapping the head of the Thunder Leopard, which quickly retreated and instantly escaped from the range of the dark fog, fleeing in all directions.

  Guo Fei took a look and saw that the place was shrouded in a thick black fog, knowing that his chance had come. In an instant, he transformed into a hidden figure, hastily retreating under cover of stealth.

  Now that Zhao Tianyu's Soul Crystal has been destroyed, Guo Fei knows that the Ling Clan has a secret method to find himself, but he also knows that cultivating the Heavenly Eye is not something an ordinary warrior can do, so Guo Fei thinks he has a chance to escape.

  Kuo Fei unfolded his body method and flew out of the Upper Boundary County, fleeing far away. In the distance, he heard the rumbling thunder behind him, and in the sky, two more lightning bolts shot out, probably the Spirit Clan had come to assist again. Kuo Fei couldn't help but take a closer look, and desperately fled for his life.

  Out of the city, Guo Fei rode on Jin Mao Hou, leaving in a flash.

  "Master, where are we going?" In the space of the military symbol, Guo Fei did not block Hu Xiaoyue's spiritual consciousness, because Hu Xiaoyue had extraordinary vision and could offer some advice to Guo Fei at critical moments.

  "I don't know, but I feel that we can't go to Wan Ku Shan, where there must be many soldiers and horses waiting in ambush. If we go, it's like jumping into a net, with only one chance in nine of surviving." Guo Fei rode on Jin Mao Hou, deep in thought.

  "Then we'll go in opposite directions and lead them away before entering from somewhere else." Hu Xiaoyue thought to herself.

  "Hmm, since that's the case, let's play big then." Guo Fei let out a loud whoop and sped off towards the north, heading straight for Zhao Kingdom's royal city.

  …………

  Although a major event occurred in Zhao Guo, the Shu Shi Fu located in Wang Cheng remained quiet and peaceful. No matter who was in power, they knew that talent is the foundation of a country and the cornerstone of its standing on the mainland. Once talent is lost, the country will lose its driving force for development. Therefore, protecting the country's population from loss and allowing people to live and work happily is the fundamental guideline for national prosperity.

  Although Zhao is a small country, it also upholds the national policy that development is the hard truth.

  The library of the Zhao State Cultivation Manor is located in the belly of a mountain, surrounded by dozens of high-ranking monks guarding it. The entrance is set up with an array of talismans that can filter out all kinds of storage equipment and prevent anyone from entering to steal books and cultivation scriptures.

  Moreover, for safety reasons, every time the library is open, five management personnel from the monastery will check one by one at the entrance.

  That day was the opening day of the Shu Shi Fu Bookstore. Dozens of students came one after another, queuing up to enter the bookstore.

  In the middle of the mountain where the mansion is located, there is a small square. On the cliff wall of the mountain next to the square, there is a large gate made of fine steel casting. At the edge of the square outside the gate, there is a small building that serves as the residence of the guards responsible for watching over the gate day and night.

  After each student showed their ID card, they entered through the half-open large iron gate. Inside the large iron gate, there was a light door that kept flashing. Each passing student had to show their ID card, which emitted a beam of light and corresponded with the light door. The light door opened a gap, and the students walked in one after another.

  After the thirteen students went in, the gatekeeper picked up a teapot, took a sip from it, and then closed the large iron gate with his hand. He turned around and walked towards the small building. Not long after he left, a figure flashed in the dark space inside the large iron gate, and one person appeared, wearing the uniform of the Xiu Shi Fu Academy, holding an ID card.

  This was indeed Guo Fei, who carefully observed the people coming to read books and knew that this ID card was very important.

  "It's a good thing I didn't hand it over!" Guo Fei, as he passed through the light gate, mimicked the posture of the students who came to read books, and with a flick of his wrist, a beam of light shot out and landed on the light gate. The light gate flashed open a slit, and Guo Fei stepped inside in an instant.

  After walking through a long corridor, I came to a huge empty cave in the middle of the mountain, where a five-story small building stands.

  "Roar!" A thunderous sound rose up beside Guo Fei's ears, and he looked up to see a huge cave on the mountain wall. Inside it lay a monstrous creature over 10 feet long, with a snake-like head that was extremely agile, but also had four limbs, sharp claws, and a pair of wings, clearly capable of flight.

  At this time, his eyes shone with a red glow, staring fiercely at Guo Fei, as if he would pounce and attack at any moment.

  "Dungeon beast! Flying snake!" Guo Fei's heart moved, and he suddenly understood. Some major powers would find and raise some powerful demonic beasts to help guard important places. These demonic beasts had strong attacking power and were extremely sensitive to smells, making them good guards. This beast was a type of snake, commonly known as the flying dragon, but its proper name was the flying snake. It was an evolved form of the four-legged snake and was even more troublesome than the Jiaolong.

  Guo Fei thought for a moment, then held out the identity card in his hand and shook it slightly. The identity card emitted a beam of light. The flying snake sniffed, then withdrew its head into the cave.

  Guo Fei smiled lightly and walked up the stone steps to the stone tower. At the entrance, he raised his ID card, a beam of light flashed, and the stone door of the tower slid open quietly, revealing the passage inside.

  "The rune-engraved formation is indeed mysterious!" Guo Fei was amazed in his heart. The pattern on the identity card matched perfectly with the unique entrance rune formation of this stone tower, just like a password. Only by doing so could one open the guardian formation and enter; otherwise, no matter how high one's cultivation was, it would be impossible to get in.

  Entering the stone tower, Guo Fei found that each stone tower had a study in the middle, equipped with wooden benches and chairs, and the top of the tower was inlaid with shining crystals to provide light for reading.

  Around the study, there were several bookrooms, with books placed inside. The bookrooms on the first floor seemed to have no doors, allowing people to enter freely, apparently not storing any valuable books. There were a few students studying on the first floor, Guo Fei did not disturb them and quietly walked upstairs.

  Guo Fei found the stairs of the stone tower and went up layer by layer. He discovered that in the bookrooms above the third floor, each room had a door. According to the instructions, Guo Fei knew that to enter and read books, he must inject yuanqi into the symbols carved on each door, otherwise the stone doors would not open. This was because this place was for high-level masters above Wu Zong.

  "It's here!" Guo Fei pondered for a moment, transformed into a sword soldier, and the Xuan Tie Sword unfolded. A sword aura infused the talisman on the door with yuan energy, and the talisman flashed as the door quietly opened.

  "As expected, just like I thought, after transforming into a second-level soldier, the energy and yuanqi energy within me are roughly equal." Guo Fei was overjoyed, stepped into the room, and carefully examined.

  If you don't look, it's fine. Once you take a look, you'll be overjoyed. The books in here not only record the knowledge points of cultivation above Wu Zong, but also the secrets of the four clans' cultivation, as well as records of heavenly and earthly spiritual objects, minerals, and demonic beasts. It's much more detailed and advanced than the Blackstone County Martial Arts Academy.

  "Since you're treating me like this, I won't be polite either!" Guo Fei smiled and quickly collected all the books into the space of the military symbol. Anyway, the space inside was vast, and this time he would let Zhao's country cut off its roots and make them remember him forever.
