King of Gods

Chapter 1217 – Gulong Martial Gathering

“Junior, you are very bold…” The Nether Ghost Race elder’s eyes shone with a sinister light, and he paused between each of his words.

This icy killing intent was so distinct that it made everyone nearby shiver.

“Let’s go!” With an angry snort, the Nether Ghost Race elder led his juniors away.

If it wasn’t for the fact that people from the Sky Haze Race were present and that Quasi-God Jian Feng knew Zhao Feng, he would have already killed Zhao Feng.

Once the people of the Nether Ghost Race were gone, everyone else instantly breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure and killing intent of a Rank Four True God were not easy to endure.

“How dangerous! I didn’t think he also knew someone from the Sky Haze Race!” Han Ning’er gave a light gasp of surprise.

Although Zhao Feng was strong enough that he wouldn’t necessarily be killed by a Rank Four True God, the two of them would have certainly ended up being exposed. Fortunately, Zhao Feng knew someone from the Sky Haze Race, allowing him to resolve this crisis without fighting.

The Sky Haze Race was a peak four-star faction, a level higher than Spirit Grass Gate and Yellow Dragon Pavilion.

“Quasi-God Jian Feng, my deepest gratitude for your assistance in resolving this problem!” Zhao Feng walked over to Quasi-God Jian Feng and smiled.

“Please! If Brother Zhao hadn’t captured Hou Qing at the phoenix nest, drawing away the forces of the Sky Water Yao Race…” Quasi-God Jian Feng looked at Zhao Feng with praise.

In the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, in front of the many True God experts of the Sky Water Yao Race, Zhao Feng defeated and captured Hou Qing, drawing away the forces of the Sky Water Yao Race. In the end, he even managed to escape from a Rank Four True God. Quasi-God Jian Feng was filled with admiration for such feats.

In addition, it was precisely because Zhao Feng had drawn away the experts of the Sky Water Yao Race that the Sky Haze Race had been able to extricate themselves from that dangerous situation.

Hearing this, the old lady of the Sky Haze Race and the young blue-haired girl with them couldn’t help but glance at Zhao Feng. They had also heard of what happened to the Sky Haze Race in the phoenix next.

At the time, the Sky Haze Race was being pressured by the Sky Water Yao Race and another peak four-star race. When Zhao Feng captured Hou Qing and restrained the Sky Water Yao Race, the Sky Haze Race was able to escape.

He had captured Hou Qing, threatened a Rank Four True God, and still smoothly escaped. This golden-haired youth was definitely not simple!

The blue-haired old lady of the Sky Haze Race gave a slight nod. For Quasi-God Jian Feng to form a relationship with such a talented individual was a boon for the Sky Haze Race.

“Quasi-God Jian Feng, my reputation isn’t that good, so don’t mention these things anymore!” Zhao Feng secretly messaged Jian Feng.

“Understood!” Quasi-God Jian Feng immediately understood.

Zhao Feng’s actions back then could be said to have thoroughly offended the Sky Water Yao Race. Zhao Feng didn’t have any major faction backing him, so Zhao Feng hoped that his name wouldn’t spread too far so as to avoid the Sky Water Yao Race hunting him down.

“Brother Zhao, you need a map of the nearby area?” Quasi-God Jian Feng suddenly asked.

“Yes. I need to leave the Gulong Zone and travel very far,” Zhao Feng directly said.

At the same time as getting a map, he implied that he also hoped Quasi-God Jian Feng could help by providing him an identity that would allow him to use higher-ranked teleportation arrays.

“Leave the Gulong Zone?” Quasi-God Jian Feng was slightly stunned.

The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was vast and boundless. Even a single one of its zones was unimaginably enormous. When the disciples of the Sky Haze Race wandered in the outside world for training, they would basically never leave the Gulong Zone.

“That’s difficult. Even when the members of the Sky Haze Race go training in the outside world, they’ll only use the teleportation arrays of the nearby four-and-a-half-star factions,” Quasi-God Jian Feng awkwardly said.

At the same time, he was thinking, could Zhao Feng’s faction be in a different zone?

In his mind, how could a person without a faction possibly be so strong?

“So that’s the case.” Zhao Feng nodded.

There were ten-some four-and-a-half-star factions in the Gulong Zone, and some of these factions that were farther from the Sky Haze Race would not show any courtesy to it. Of course, there were also enemy factions that would even target the members of the Sky Haze Race beyond its borders.

“Even if the journey is difficult, I still have to head to the Ziling Zone. This can also be considered a sort of trial on my martial path,” Zhao Feng said with a smile.

“The Ziling Zone?” The three from the Sky Haze Race were rather surprised.

The Ziling Zone and Gulong Zone were separated by three zones. This was an incredibly long journey!

However, they were even more confused as to why Zhao Feng needed to go to the Ziling Zone.

“Haha, Brother Zhao truly is an unusual person!” After a few moments of shock, Quasi-God Jian Feng broke into laughter.

Even though he was a mere Quasi-God, Zhao Feng still wanted to cross through three zones. This courage and determination truly won Jian Feng’s admiration.

“Brother Zhao, if you come to my Sky Haze Race, I can help you save some time on your journey. But we’ve also got our own matters to attend to, so this is all I can help you with.” After saying this, Quasi-God Jian Feng sent a blue ball of light out from the center of his brow.

Whoosh!

Zhao Feng did not resist, allowing the ball of light to sink into his brow.

A map – one covering the territory of ten four-and-a-half-star factions! Zhao Feng’s eyes glimmered.

“Many thanks!” Zhao Feng said in gratitude.

This map was the largest map Quasi-God Jian Feng could get from the Sky Haze Race. Moreover, this map was extremely detailed, almost like it was a small-scale model.

“That’s right…! With Brother Zhao’s strength, you could definitely enter the Gulong Zone’s Quasi-God Ranking. With this identity, it’ll be easy for you to use the teleportation arrays belonging to other factions!” Quasi-God Jian Feng mentioned, the thought having just come to his mind.

“The Gulong Zone’s Quasi-God Ranking?” Zhao Feng had heard of it before.

With his strength, he would have no difficulty entering this ranking.

However, the ranking competition was held once every century. There were still fifty years until the next one. In fifty years, even if Zhao Feng used only small-scale teleportation arrays, he would have left the Gulong Zone long before the competition.

“Brother Zhao doesn’t know? Recently, two prodigies of a five-star faction have decided to open a Gulong Martial Gathering, gathering all the geniuses of the Gulong Zone to exchange pointers. Although it’s not the actual Gulong Zone Quasi-God Ranking Competition, a few of the geniuses on the Quasi-God Ranking will show up. If Brother Zhao defeated them…” Quasi-God Jian Feng explained to Zhao Feng.

Jian Feng had left the Sky Haze Race precisely to take part in this Gulong Martial Gathering. He would get to know the various prodigies from around the Gulong Zone as well as challenge some of the people on the Quasi-God Ranking.

“Gulong Martial Gathering?” Zhao Feng had never heard of it.

Han Ning’er also indicated that she knew nothing. After all, Yellow Dragon Pavilion and Spirit Grass Gate were at war with each other, so they had no time to worry about some martial gathering.

My identity is a little sensitive. If it’s the Gulong Zone Quasi-God Ranking Competition, I wouldn’t be able to go, but I can attend this Gulong Martial Gathering, Zhao Feng pondered to himself.

The Gulong Zone Quasi-God Ranking Competition could be considered a summit for the entire Gulong Zone. Almost all the factions of the Gulong Zone would be there so that their disciples could show off their abilities.

But the Gulong Martial Gathering was a little lower on the scale. Only a few factions would show up, and in extremely small numbers. Some factions might only send a single scout to gather information.

“If the Sky Haze Race does not mind, I hope that you can bring me along to experience this Gulong Martial Gathering!” Zhao Feng looked at the trio from the Sky Haze Race and smiled.

A few prodigies from the Quasi-God Ranking would show up at the Gulong Martial Gathering. Zhao Feng would only need to defeat one of them to gain a little reputation for himself. Since Zhao Feng didn’t belong to any faction, many factions would even try to bring him to their side. Using teleportation arrays would naturally cease to be a problem.

“Then let’s go together,” the blue-haired old lady of the Sky Haze Race immediately replied.

An extra person would be no problem at all. Besides, she wanted to see Zhao Feng’s abilities for herself.

“This person is…?” The old lady suddenly turned to Han Ning’er.

With her powerful Divine Sense, she could only see a part of Han Ning’er’s face. However, Han Ning’er’s complexion was flawless. Even this blurred face was enough to topple countries. Even more importantly, Han Ning’er’s demeanor and the unique vitality surrounding her had truly piqued the old lady’s curiosity.

“This is my younger sister. She’s traveling with me to the Ziling Zone.” Zhao Feng smiled.

Calling Han Ning’er his younger sister would avoid drawing the suspicion of others. If Zhao Feng were to claim that he was bringing an unrelated weakling with him all the way to the Ziling Zone, then he would attract far too much doubt.

Zhao Feng and Han Ning’er soon left this Exchange Spiritual Hall with the Sky Haze Race. The hunters who were watching Zhao Feng from the shadows could only give up on their prey.

“Quasi-God Jian Feng is going to attend the Gulong Martial Gathering!”

“Just who is that golden-haired youth? Quasi-God Jian Feng seemed to treat him with great respect!”

Once the Sky Haze Race group had left, the crowd immediately began to chatter amongst themselves. The Gulong Martial Gathering would gather many geniuses of the Gulong Zone so that they could exchange pointers and improve together.

But not just anyone had the right to observe it.

Together with the Sky Haze Race, Zhao Feng was able to use teleportation arrays to arrive in the territory of the four-and-a-half-star race that governed the area. Using the teleportation array under the control of this four-and-a-half-star, Zhao Feng and the Sky Haze Race were able to travel across the territory spanned by five or six four-star factions.

“This is the territory of Stellar Tower. The Gulong Martial Gathering is being held within Stellar Tower’s Five Star Mountain,” Quasi-God Jian Feng explained to Zhao Feng.

There was still one month until the Gulong Martial Gathering began. The Sky Haze Race could be considered to have arrived early. For this reason, the group chose to stay at a nearby Exchange Spiritual Hall.

“Brother Zhao, this Exchange Spiritual Hall is operated by Stellar Tower. It’s on a much higher level than those ordinary Exchange Spiritual Halls run by the four-star factions!”

On this journey, Quasi-God Jian Feng had been the most talkative of all. After him was the Quasi-God girl of the Sky Haze Race, while Han Ning’er had said almost nothing.

“Mm, it’s truly different.” Looking around, Zhao Feng could see that this Exchange Spiritual Hall was at least five times larger than the Exchange Spiritual Hall of Sky Feather Island. An ordinary person simply didn’t have the vision to see where it ended.

Within the Exchange Spiritual Hall, all kinds of ancient, magnificent, and mysterious buildings could be seen. In addition, because of the Gulong Martial Gathering, all the Exchange Spiritual Halls in the territory of Stellar Tower were packed. Rank Two and Rank Three True Gods could be seen wherever one looked, and even Rank Four True Gods were a common sight.

“Quasi-God Di Lin!” Zhao Feng spotted Quasi-God Di Lin in one of the buildings.

Di Lin had clearly not noticed Zhao Feng. After all, there were far too many people, and it was easy for a person to go unnoticed in the crowd.

“It seems that Quasi-God Di Lin is representing the Golden Jade Race in the Gulong Martial Gathering,” Zhao Feng muttered.

Zhao Feng was with the Sky Haze Race right now, so even if Quasi-God Di Lin noticed Zhao Feng, he wouldn’t dare to do anything.
