Peerless Fierce Beast

Blackrock City was located in the western part of the Dawnshroud Mountain Range. This place was the most remote and small city in the southwest of the empire, and was famous for its rich magical beast materials and magic cores.

However, the business here was not very developed. Because they were too close to the Dawnshroud Mountain Range, Blackrock City would often suffer the attacks of magical beasts, causing heavy casualties. As for Blackrock City's position, it was too remote and did not have much strategic value. The Empire was also unwilling to send any heavy troops to station there.

The reason why Blackrock City could still exist was because of the local warriors led by the Chen family. They protected Blackrock City with their lives, otherwise, Blackrock City would have been turned into ruins by the Demon Beasts.

All of this was the history of Blackrock City that Gu Qi had learned from Chen Qingluan.

He had to admit that Gu Qi admired them. With just a single family, they could lead those families and martial artists with different intentions to resist the beast tide together. The ancestors of the Chen family were indeed a hero.

Of course, if the forest were big, there would be all kinds of birds. The Hero Family would also produce scum like Chen Yun.

Three days later, Gu Qi and Chen Qingluan finally completely walked out of the area of the Dawnshroud Mountain Range, and Blackrock City was just inches away from them.

Originally, with their speed, they could have rushed back in one day, but because Gu Qi had consumed a lot of energy during his battle with Chen Yun, he stayed behind to recuperate and also raise his cultivation to the level of a 1-star profound practitioner.

After advancing to a one star profound practitioner, Gu Qi felt the profound strength within his body undergo some changes.

His main body was that of a magical beast, so his profound strength was not stored in his Qi Sea like a normal person, but in his Monster Core.

Along with the increase of his cultivation, Gu Qi discovered that his Monster Core was growing bit by bit, and his own two innate abilities were also increasing by bit.

Besides that, his mental strength also had a slight increase. As for the domain of a soul martial artist, Gu Qi still didn't know much.

A towering black fortress appeared in front of him.

Blackrock City was just like its name. Its entire body was made of huge, hard black stone. From afar, it looked like a piece of steel. It was indestructible and indestructible.

In order to resist the invasion of the magical beasts, Blackrock City's construction style was different from that of ordinary cities. This place was practically an imitation of a super fortress, with a single city gate, which allowed the guarding power to be highly concentrated. At the same time, it was destined that once this city was captured, there wouldn't even be a retreat path, everyone would have no choice but to fight to the death.

Perhaps it was because of this hopeless situation that the people of Blackrock City were able to resist the attacks from the magical beasts again and again.

Gu Qi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration when he saw this weather-beaten city. Finally, he returned to the human world. This feeling gave him a sense of familiarity.

After all, he was still a human. If he were to live with magical beasts in the depths of the forest, he would probably go crazy, right?

"Is Blackrock City the closest to the territory of the Magical Beasts near the Dawnshroud Mountain Range?"

On the way into the city, Gu Qi suddenly asked.

This was because he discovered that Blackrock City wasn't very bustling, and it wasn't very big either. There wasn't anything special about it, so why would the magical beasts be attracted to it?

Are all the cities near the Dawnshroud Mountain Range going to suffer this kind of invasion, or is it just Blackrock City that has this kind of "special treatment"?

In the eyes of ordinary humans, other than top-grade magical beasts, the rest were beasts without intelligence. Naturally, they would not analyze the logic behind their actions.

However, Gu Qi was different. He knew that even low level magical beasts had a certain amount of intelligence. Although they were similar to human children, they still had a normal logic to their actions and couldn't do something for no reason.

There might be some unknown secret behind it.

Chen Qingluan didn't know why he would ask that. After thinking about it, she replied honestly, "If it's only our Light Empire, Blackrock City is indeed the closest city to the Sunset Mountains. However, in the northwest direction, on the other side of the mountain range, there are also cities from other countries, their geographical position is even higher than ours. "

"Have they ever encountered a beast tide?"

Chen Qingluan froze for a moment, and said uncertainly: "I'm not sure about that. Wolf City, which is closest to us, rarely communicates with us because we are enemies of each other. But, I think, they will also encounter a beast tide? "

Gu Qi nodded when he heard this, then didn't say anything more.

Very quickly, Chen Qingluan brought him back to the Chen Clan.

The Chen Clan was the undisputed hegemon of Blackrock City. The Chen Clan's Patriarch was also the City Lord. Hence, the Chen Clan's courtyard was built within the City Lord's Mansion, looking extremely grand and majestic.

When Chen Qingluan returned, many clan disciples came out to welcome her. However, there was something strange about the expressions of these people. They would occasionally glance at Gu Qi and whisper to each other.

"I heard that the Patriarch and the others have already offered their lives." The Second Miss was extremely anxious to save her father. She ignored Chen Yun's obstruction and directly went into the Dawnshroud Mountain Range, killing several disciples who were travelling together with her. "

"Don't talk nonsense, I believe Second Miss isn't that kind of person. But for that Chen Yun, I think he must have been blabbering about it. "

"Everyone is dead. Only Chen Yun and Second Miss came back alive. Who knows if what they said is true?"

"This guy, is he the trash that Chen Yun was talking about? He seems to be quite old, to think that he has just barely reached the 1-star profound practitioner level, and is indeed a trash. "

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Gu Qi and Chen Qingluan couldn't help but frown.

It must be that despicable scumbag Chen Yun who returned to the family a step earlier and came to sue first.

The truth of the matter had turned into Chen Qingluan saving her father's life. She did not care about obstructing him and had caused the death of her clan members. Furthermore, she had forcefully accepted an unknown person to enter the clan regardless of her objections.

Gu Qi had extraordinary talent. Within a single day, he had opened his spirit, summoned his techniques, opened his mind, and even broken through to a one star profound practitioner. Even if he had the talent to become a Soul martial artist, in his mouth, he had become a piece of trash with low strength and low aptitude!

Yet, there were still many people who believed his words.

"Hmph, this Chen Yun is truly shameless." It was one thing for the evildoers to complain first, but it was another for them to turn black into white. To actually call you trash? Hehe, he is a Xuan Weapon Realm expert, yet he was heavily injured by you and was forced to flee. In that case, wouldn't he be worse than trash? "

Chen Qingluan coldly snorted. She turned around and said to Gu Qi, "Come, let's go to the clan's Discipline Hall."
