Volume 2: Flying Cosmos Squad Chapter 169: The Leak Chapter 106: The Name of the Spirit Temple
Guo Fei trusted nothing in this world more than the Xuan Tie sword, even more so than his own soldiers. After all, although Guo Fei and his soldiers could communicate through divine thoughts, he didn't know what they were thinking about. Whether or not they had "little nines" in their hearts was hard to say, but the Xuan Tie sword was different - it was tied to his heart and spirit, a single entity with his divine thoughts.
"There must be some trick!" Guo Fei subconsciously took a step back.
"This student, don't be impatient, wait here first. Your physique is special, we need to report to the king and decide later." The majestic warrior said in a deep voice.
"Alright, you guys go and report back, I'll be waiting at the residence of the cultivator. I have something to attend to right now, so I'll take my leave first!" Guo Fei said as he turned around and walked away.
"Stop him, this is not a place where you can come and go as you please. If I want you to stay, you'll stay." The warrior waved his hand at the soldiers on both sides, and four of them rushed up, their long spears crisscrossing in front of Guo Fei.
"Hiss!" Guo Fei didn't say a word, the long sword in his hand suddenly slashed out, and two soldiers fell into the pool of blood instantly. Guo Fei rushed out amidst the shocked cries of the crowd behind him. At this moment, Guo Fei's sensitive nerves told himself that there was extreme danger here, especially the eyes of those two people, looking at him not like looking at a person, but like looking at extremely precious prey, although it was just a glance, but this gaze made Guo Fei's heart throb.
The warrior behind him suddenly sprang into the air, flying out and chasing after Guo Fei. In an instant, Guo Fei transformed into a ninja, his body turning into a faint shadow that was in no way slower than the other man. He burst through the gate, traversed the crowded square, and instantly rushed towards the mountain where the residence of the cultivator was located.
"What's wrong, Guo Fei?" came Zhao Xue's cry of surprise from behind, but Guo Fei paid no attention to her, accelerating his speed to the limit in a flash, and quickly rushed out of the mansion, disappearing into the crowded streets.

"Xue Er, Guo Fei is a Golden Body Dark Entity, this is a great opportunity for our Zhao family. Uncle came to find you just to ask for your opinion. I know Xue Er is a girl who understands the greater good, for the sake of our clan, you can agree to anything and sacrifice everything." In the palace of the Kingdom of Zhao, King Zhao summoned Zhao Xue in a side hall.
"What chance? King above, I don't understand." Zhao Xue said in a daze.
"There are no outsiders here, don't be so formal, just call me Uncle. You know, the five elements of human attributes are determined by the soul, and it's rare for Tian Soul, Di Soul, and Ming Soul to coexist in a person's body, but there are exceptions. Today, Guo Fei was found to have both gold and dark attributes, he has two attributes, which also means that he has dual souls in his body, one is the Ming Soul and the other is the Di Soul. People with this physique are required to be handed over to the Spirit Clan by all major empires, kingdoms, and principalities, once discovered, they must be sent to the Spirit Clan, and those who send them will be heavily rewarded. To be honest, according to our speculation, the Spirit Clan will extract their souls after obtaining such people, what they do with it, we don't know, so once given to them, Guo Fei's life may not be guaranteed."
It was a coincidence that we met such good fortune, and as long as I escort it to the Spirit Clan, I dare guarantee that the Spirit Clan will surely grant my request for Zhao Guo to establish a Spirit Temple." The King of Zhao's face revealed an excited expression. Something that could make the King of Zhao so excited was obviously not an ordinary matter.
"If we can really let the Ling tribe build a spiritual temple in our Zhao country, won't it mean that our Zhao country will also have a place in the North Yuan, and can protect my Zhao country for thousands of generations? If this is indeed a good thing, then sending Guo Fei up there would be fine." Zhao Xue didn't know the importance of the spiritual temple. The spiritual temple was a branch established by the Ling tribe in each country. Don't underestimate the establishment of such a branch, it means that the Ling tribe acknowledges the existence of this country and is not subject to invasion by other countries.
At that time, the Northern Kingdom of Mohua was only a public country, but it had built a spiritual temple. However, the Iron Power Kingdom took advantage of its weakness and sent troops to attack. Just as the capital was about to be broken, the Spirit Clan suddenly intervened, sending out less than a hundred people, and annihilating the invading army. From then on, it was made clear that any country that established a spiritual temple would be protected by the Spirit Clan. Only these countries could bully and invade other countries, but other countries could not invade countries with spiritual temples.
From then on, the establishment of a spiritual temple was not only a symbol of honor but also a guarantee for the development and prosperity of a country. Many countries offer sacrifices to the spirits every year in order to establish a spiritual temple, thereby ensuring their own country's prosperity for thousands of generations.
"I know my niece is well aware of the importance, always putting the future of Zhao Guo first. As long as we offer up Guo Fei, I guarantee that our clan will definitely receive protection from the Ling tribe, and from then on, Zhao Guo will be under our control, with no more worries."
"It's just Uncle, Guo Fei has escaped, how can we catch him." Zhao Xue's face tightened, and she said in a low voice. At this moment, Guo Fei seemed to be no longer her lover, but a valuable commodity.
"He can't escape, the Soul Crystal has already sealed it, and what's left inside is his soul mark. Within a five-kilometer range, we can lock onto him. I've already dispatched people to seal off the entire Imperial City; as soon as he leaves the city, he'll be caught."
"Uncle, from my understanding of this person, we can't be careless. This person is extremely cunning. I've interacted with him for so long and still don't understand his true nature. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it's better to take action early." Zhao Xue said thoughtfully.
"Hmm, rest assured, even if it's not him, a low-level cultivator like that, even a martial arts master coming to our Zhao Kingdom, it's not like they can come and go as they please." King Zhao said in a deep voice.
…………
Guo Fei entered the mountain city of Wangdu, but instead of checking into an inn, he headed towards a low-lying residential area and slipped away, successfully hiding in a warehouse that had been uninhabited for years.
Guo Fei knew that he couldn't leave the city now, leaving the city would be equivalent to falling into the hands of Zhao's soldiers and being captured immediately. Hiding here was relatively safer.
Guo Fei found Hu Xiaoyue and asked for her opinion. As for understanding the mainland, Guo Fei thought to himself that he was not as good as Hu Xiaoyue.
"Master, this matter reeks of evil intentions, it doesn't seem like a good thing. However, from what I've seen and heard, we can't stay here for long either, we'll definitely be found soon." Hu Xiaoyue said worriedly.
"What?" Guo Fei exclaimed in surprise.
"The human tribe has many secret techniques that can track down enemies, and you've tested their properties somewhere. Although I don't know why, it feels very unscrupulous," Hu Xiaoyue thought to herself.
"Only Tiān Húnzi that old ghost might know why, but he may not tell the truth!" Guō Fēi thought to himself.
"It wouldn't hurt for the master to ask around and gather some information." Hu Xiaoyue said thoughtfully.
Guo Fei nodded, and his divine sense sank into the skull staff. "Gui Wang, I'm asking you, why did they find out that I have both gold and dark attributes, and then harbor evil intentions towards me?"
"Congratulations, sir. Sir is actually a Golden Body Dark Body. It seems that these people should be admiring you. With your dual attribute physique, you will definitely become a master in the future. I'd like to cultivate you, sir!" Tianhunzi said with a charming smile in the space of the Skull Staff.
"Crackling!" Guo Fei waved his hand, and a bolt of black lightning shot out from the skull staff's space, striking Ghost King Tianhunzi's head.
"Spare your life, I'm telling the truth. The dual-attribute physique is indeed a rare and precious material. However, based on my speculation, they plan to hand you over to the Spirit Clan."
"Give it to the Ling clan?" Guo Fei hesitated.
"It's said that the Spirit Clan has been gathering humans with dual attributes, probably to cultivate them diligently. If an adult can enter the Spirit Clan, they'll soar to great heights from then on, and even us small fries will get to live a life of luxury." The Ghost King bowed his head and chuckled, his body made of gray mist curving downward as his red eyeballs gleamed with a sinister smile.
Guo Fei didn't know whether Gu Wang was telling the truth or lying, but he made up his mind to escape. Intuitively, Guo Fei felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
