Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Forbidden Area

    ?

    "Gu Family Manor!"

    Jiang Qin''s expression remained unchanged as he looked towards the Gu Family Manor, where he could see a surge of Blood Qi that was nearly invisible to the naked eye.

    It was an interaction that only strong martial artists could perceive.

    "This person is indeed extraordinary!"

    "I''m afraid that even an ordinary martial artist in the Marrow Cleansing Realm might not possess such Blood Qi!"

    Jiang Qin felt a slight heaviness in his heart.

    Before he arrived, he didn''t take Gu Qingfeng seriously, even though the other had slain the Green Sun Ancestor.

    After all, the Green Sun Ancestor wasn''t considered very strong, at least in the eyes of the Evil Suppression Bureau.

    But now.

    Jiang Qin understood.

    The strength of Gu Qingfeng was indeed not to be underestimated.

    Such robust Blood Qi was not something an ordinary martial artist could have.

    And.

    Jiang Qin believed.

    His arrival must also have been perceived by the other party.

    Sure enough.

    Not long after Jiang Qin had this thought, he saw the main gate of the Gu Family Manor open, and Gu Peng walked out to greet him politely.

    "I am Gu Peng, the current Outer Hall Master of Gu Family Manor, ordered by our manor master to invite our distinguished guest inside for a visit!"

    "Um."

    Jiang Qin gave Gu Peng a casual glance, then nodded slightly and followed him inside.

    To him, a martial artist at the Initial Stage of Blood Refining.

    Was like an ant in his eyes.

    In the entire Gu Family Manor, only the manor master himself warranted some respect from him.

    Entering the main hall.

    Jiang Qin then saw a middle-aged man sitting at the head of the room.

    As their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

    "Manor master, your guest has been brought in!"

    Gu Peng''s words broke the silence in the hall.

    Gu Qingfeng waved his hand: "You may step back now!"

    "Yes!"

    Gu Peng withdrew.

    Afterward.

    Gu Qingfeng looked at Jiang Qin again and smiled slightly: "I do not know where you hail from, sir. May I ask what brings you to the Gu Family Manor today?"

    "I am Jiang Qin, Deputy Commander of the Evil Suppression Bureau in Guangyang Prefecture.

    I have heard that Lord Gu has slain the Green Sun Ancestor and eradicated the Green Sun Sect. Thus, I have specifically come to invite Lord Gu to join our Evil Suppression Bureau,"

    To take refuge with the Evil Suppression Bureau.

    To obtain the method of Evil Refining.

    Only then would one find the true path.

    Yet.

    Gu Qingfeng was currently digesting Jiang Qin''s words.

    Great Grandmaster!

    Forbidden zones!

    He had learned many things he had never heard of before from the other''s words.

    "May I ask what is meant by ''forbidden zones''?"

    Gu Qingfeng asked once again.

    Jiang Qin grew somewhat impatient, but still gave an answer.

    "Forbidden zones are places formed by Disaster Level Evil Spirits. Within these zones, Evil

    Spirits are virtually invincible.

    And once a forbidden zone is established, it''s difficult for any living creature to enter or leave.

    Therefore, whenever a forbidden zone appears, it signifies the extinction of all life in that area, and for this reason, such existences are given the name ''forbidden zones.""

    I see!

    Gu Qingfeng''s expression showed his understanding.

    This was what a forbidden zone was.

    Disaster Level Evil Spirits.

    Suddenly.

    A thought struck Gu Qingfeng, and he took out the black powder he had obtained earlier,

    manipulating it with the power of his vitality and blood, allowing the jade box containing the powder to land in front of Jiang Qin.

    "May I ask Commander Jiang, do you recognize this substance?"

    Upon hearing this, Jiang Qin''s gaze fell on the black powder, and the chilly aura it exuded

    caused a slight change in his expression.

    "It seems I have underestimated you indeed; I didn''t expect you to be able to slay such a

    strange creature!"

    "Strange creature?"

    Gu Qingfeng looked puzzled.

    Jiang Qin explained, "In this world, Evil Spirits are almost undying and indestructible, beyond

    the reach of common folk to slay, only Evil Spirits have the ability to cut down and devour one

    another." "During the era when Evil Spirits ran rampant, the living suffered torment, and the collected resentment of all beings eventually gave birth to something else."

    "This thing is known as ''strange creature!""

    "Strange creatures are not as hard to deal with as Evil Spirits, but they can affect the minds of

    martial artists, causing them to unknowingly sink into darkness. Many powerful beings have fallen into such traps without realizing it.

    By the time they come to their senses, their vitality and blood have been sucked dry by the strange creature, leaving them to die in regret."
