Chapter 1570 The First District
The disheveled Taoist looked envious. "If I had that terrifying refining ability, I would have broken through by now. It's truly one man's gain is another man's loss."
He quickly followed.
There were two routes from the fourth district to the first district. The first route passed through the fifth and sixth districts, while the second route passed through the second and third districts.
Chen Xuan naturally chose the latter route.
This route allowed them to pass through the second and third districts, thus absorbing the energy from them. Upon reaching the third district, Chen Xuan discovered that the energy there was vastly different from the fourth district; the energy was incredibly dense.
Furthermore, the third district was larger than the fourth. To cross it, it would be very dangerous without finding an identity token. As a result, they found two disciples from the Gu family and "peacefully" exchanged identity spirit tokens with them.
They did not linger in the third district and headed straight for the second district.
The situation in the second district was the same as in the third. They followed the same method, exchanging identity spirit tokens with people. This time, the two Gu family disciples they encountered might have had higher talent and were arrogant, so they were "taught a lesson" by Chen Xuan and the disheveled Taoist before they agreed to exchange identity spirit tokens.
After more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the first district.
"The first district is amazing! There's an island here, and it even has coconut trees and a beach. It's more like a vacation island!"
Gazing into the distance, Chen Xuan exclaimed in awe.
What surprised him even more was the density of the energy here.
The energy here was so dense that it had crystallized.
As the sunlight shone through, rainbows appeared everywhere.
Especially a rainbow that spanned across the distant island, which was exceptionally beautiful.
"Chen Xuan, we can't delay any longer. We need to find the identity spirit tokens quickly. If we don't find them soon, the Spirit Pool might attack us," the disheveled Taoist said worriedly, sensing something.
"The area here is five times that of the second district and tens of times that of the ninth district. There are only eight people in total. Where are we supposed to find them?"
Chen Xuan was also distressed.
If the area were smaller, he could use his divine sense to search for people, but now the place was too vast!
The martial arts world was like this, a world of the fittest.
Those with inferior talent could only stay in the areas with the thinnest energy, while those with excellent talent could enjoy inexhaustible resources.
"That island!"
The disheveled Taoist pointed to the distant island and narrowed his eyes.
"You see it?"
"Look, there's smoke there. It seems someone is barbecuing."
Chen Xuan also narrowed his eyes. Indeed, there was wisps of smoke rising.
How could someone be starting a fire here?
Was this a joke?
However, there was indeed smoke.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Chen Xuan moved his body and rushed towards the island.
At this point, they could only go to the island to see; otherwise, they had no way to find people.
They quickly approached the island, leaving ripples on the water's surface.
On the island.
Near the beach, a barbecue grill was set up. On the grill, a slaughtered sheep was placed. The lamb was now perfectly roasted, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Oil dripped onto the fire, making crackling sounds.
Beside them were two Gu family disciples, who looked identical, like twin brothers.
One was roasting the meat, while the other was holding a large mug of beer and drinking heartily.
Their eyes were fixed on the front.
In their line of sight, a slender beauty in a red bikini was shyly twisting her body, dancing a belly dance.
"Xiao Hong, dance quickly! If you don't dance properly for me, I won't spare you!"
The one speaking was Gu Ye, the elder of the twins. The one next to him, who was roasting meat, was Gu Fang, the younger twin.
"Young Master Gu Ye... Spare me this once..."
The bikini-clad woman pleaded.
Her name was Gu Hong, and she was also a Gu family disciple, but from a collateral branch, five generations removed, with a weak bloodline connection to the Gu family.
Her talent was good. The collateral branch of the Gu family, seeing Gu Hong's potential, tried their best to send her into the Gu family to cultivate and learn.
She studied diligently and achieved some success, but she was discriminated against solely because she was from a collateral branch.
"No, hurry up and dance for me. If Brother Tianxing comes back later, we won't get any!" Gu Ye said sternly.
They were responsible for cooking for Gu Tianxing.
Helpless, Gu Hong could only continue dancing.
Tears slowly flowed down her delicate face.
Her beautiful eyes held an unspeakable sadness.
This sadness of hers did not elicit the slightest pity from the Gu brothers; instead, it made them more excited.
"Brother, I can't take it anymore. You take over the roasting, I'll go first!"
After saying that, Gu Fang suddenly stood up and lunged towards Gu Hong.
"You kid, be careful not to hurt her!"
Gu Ye, being the elder brother, felt a desire himself, but he took over the barbecue grill from Gu Fang and continued roasting the meat.
He dared not stop roasting the meat. If Gu Tianxing returned later and the meat wasn't cooked, they would be in trouble.
"You can't do this... We are all Gu family members..."
Seeing Gu Fang's eyes redden, Gu Hong quickly hugged her chest and shook her head frantically.
"Gu family members? You still consider yourself a Gu family member? We are five generations removed, and you were just lucky to enter our Gu family. Hurry up and accept me!"
Gu Fang rubbed his hands, his eyes gleaming.
He swallowed his saliva, wishing he could devour Gu Hong in one bite.
"If you dare touch me, I'll tell the Clan Leader!"
Gu Hong said quickly.
"You stinking woman, stop pretending. Don't think I don't know you secretly went to Brother Tianxing's room last night! Brother Tianxing can play, and I can play too. Anyway, you're just a plaything!"
"You... How did you know...?"
"I was drunk yesterday and went to the wrong door."
"I did go to Brother Tianxing's room, but it's not what you think."
"Stop your nonsense. Today, whether you want to or not, you will!"
Saying that, Gu Fang lunged towards Gu Hong.
"Bang—"
Gu Hong slapped Gu Fang away: "Gu Fang, if you continue like this, I won't be polite!"
Being able to enter the Gu family from a collateral branch and obtain the qualification to enter the Spirit Pool, Gu Hong was not just a pretty face; instead, she possessed a more resilient personality and excellent talent.
"You dare hit me? You deserve to die!"
Gu Fang was also enraged, his face turning ashen.
His internal energy surged!
Gu Hong was only at the seventh-grade Mythical Realm, but Gu Fang had already reached the strength close to the ninth-grade Mythical Realm. In terms of strength, Gu Fang had the upper hand.
"Brother, make it quick," Gu Ye reminded him.
"I know!"
Saying that, Gu Fang immediately lunged towards Gu Hong.
After a few rounds, the gap between Gu Hong and Gu Fang was quickly exploited by Gu Fang, who knocked her to the ground. Gu Fang then quickly pinned her down.
Gu Hong struggled desperately on the ground, but it was in vain. At this moment, Gu Fang was like a small mountain, unmovable no matter how she pushed.
Despair surged through Gu Hong's heart!
Was this how it was going to end?
But just then, a mocking voice suddenly sounded: "You even bully your own clansmen. You've really grown some courage!"
