Gu Yuan walked in the Stone City, feeling the bloody smell in the air. He secretly sighed that this city was worthy of being called the City of Darkness. Most people might not be able to bear it when they came here.

At a distance of only a few hundred meters, Gu Yuan had already seen three fights, in which two people died. No one stepped forward to stop them. Instead, they stood aside and watched and commented with interest. Some were even eager to join the battlefield.

"This is simply a city of sin!"

Gu Yuan sighed and suddenly stopped.

"Why are you following me? Do you want to die?" Gu Yuan said coldly.

Behind him followed a thin young man who looked not very old.

Gu Yuan stopped, and the thin boy also stopped.

Gu Yuan turned around and asked, "Why are you following me?"

The thin young man didn't look scared. Instead, he smiled and said, "Is this gentleman a newcomer?"

With the previous experience as a lesson, Gu Yuan immediately denied it, "No!"

The young man's smile widened and he said, "Now I can confirm that you are the new one."

The aura around Gu Yuan gradually grew colder, and he didn't know why this guy was following him.

"Don't worry, sir. I'm just an ordinary person. The reason I followed you is just to tell you some news." said the young man.

"What news?" Gu Yuan asked with a frown.

"Hey, sir, I'm paid to provide information."

The young man scratched his head as if a little embarrassed. Seeing that Gu Yuan didn't react, he hurriedly said, "My information can definitely help you, sir. Please don't be careless. After all, the person you just killed at the door was from the Black Ghost Sect."

He relaxed a little, but Gu Yuan still remained absolutely vigilant. He threw a bag of gold coins over and said, "Okay, tell me about the Black Ghost Gate."

After taking the gold coins, the boy seemed a little surprised by Gu Yuan's handiwork. Although he was very happy, he showed a hint of frustration. He took out two gold coins from the bag. He looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention before putting the two gold coins into his pocket and returning the remaining gold coins to Gu Yuan.

"What does this mean?" Gu Yuan was puzzled.

The young man said calmly, "Oh, I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have any cultivation. Two gold coins are a lot of wealth to me, but a bag of gold coins is like the coming of death. I can't protect it, and I will even lose my life because of it."

Gu Yuan was stunned and felt a little blocked in his heart.

This young man looked only one or two years younger than himself, but he had been turned into this by the environment he was in.

"Well, sir, let me tell you about the Nigger Gate."

The boy always had a smile on his face, and he was very satisfied with today's harvest.

"The Black Ghost Sect is one of the three major forces in Giant Stone City. Although it ranks at the bottom, no one dares to underestimate its strength."

Gu Yuan smacked his lips. The Black Ghost Sect was actually one of the three major factions. He hadn't expected that he would get into such a big mess just after arriving in Giant Stone City.

"The Black Ghost Sect has a deep foundation and many masters within the sect. They act in an extremely strange and cold-blooded manner. Almost anyone they want to kill will die in various ways. Few people can escape their pursuit. So sir, you have to be careful. You just killed someone from the Black Ghost Sect." The young man reminded.

"Okay, I understand." Gu Yuan said.

The young man nodded and continued, "The man you just killed was an ordinary disciple of the Black Ghost Sect. They were sent by the Black Ghost Sect to collect the city entrance fee. The city gate is managed by the three major forces in turn, and the annual entrance fee is a considerable income. Although you only killed an ordinary disciple, they are the symbol of the Black Ghost Sect after all. Sir, you have slapped the Black Ghost Sect in the face."

Gu Yuan frowned. It seemed that things were not as simple as he thought.

"However, seeing that you are quite powerful, you can choose to join one of the two merchants, or join the other two sects. These are all ways to resolve the crisis at present. After all, you do not have the ability to fight against the entire power of the Black Ghost Sect."

"Ershang? What kind of force is this? What are the other two forces?" Gu Yuan asked again.

"The two chambers of commerce in Giant Stone City are the Blood Chamber of Commerce and the Desert Chamber of Commerce. The two major forces on par with the Black Ghost Sect are the Small Buddha Sect in first place and the Xuanming Sect in second place. These two chambers of commerce and the three major forces control almost all of Giant Stone City's open business channels."

"It's quite interesting. A place as chaotic as Boulder City can actually control such a large market share. It seems that these forces should not be underestimated!"

"By the way, how do these major forces compare to the Huoyun Sect?" Gu Yuan suddenly asked.

The young man thought for a moment and said, "The Fire Cloud Sect? That sect you're talking about is barely comparable to the weakest, the Black Ghost Sect, but definitely not as strong as the first two. It's just that the first-ranked Small Buddha Sect is a bit more mysterious. It's said that there aren't many disciples there, but each one is an elite among elites, a genius among geniuses! As for the second-ranked Xuanming Sect, it's actually a bit stronger than the Fire Cloud Sect. After all, their Sect Master is a Level 7 Spirit King, which is a bit underwhelming."

Gu Yuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that with the strength of the Huoyun Sect, they could only barely catch up with the Black Ghost Sect!

"Sir, that's all I know. I'm leaving now. I wish you good luck."

After saying that, the boy left with a smile on his face.

Gu Yuan looked at the departing figure, turned around and left without saying a word.

"I don't know where the Spirit Trial Ground is, but I'm curious about what the environment was like for Number One and the others."

After thinking about it, Gu Yuan decided to go to the so-called spirit trial field to take a look. Perhaps only in that kind of environment could he feel the oppression of death at all times.

After some inquiries, Gu Yuan finally found out the location of the spirit test field.

It turns out that this spirit trial field was actually opened underground by the Blood Chamber of Commerce, and it is basically no longer a secret.

The Stone City is very large and is divided into five areas: east, west, south, north and center.

The headquarters of the Blood Chamber of Commerce is in the eastern region, and the spirit trial fields are located in five regions.

While inquiring, Gu Yuan also paid attention to the news of the Black Ghost Sect intentionally or unintentionally. The headquarters of the Black Ghost Sect was in the northern area, so Gu Yuan headed towards the southern area. After all, Gu Yuan did not want to cause trouble for himself. That place was the sphere of influence of the Small Buddhist Sect, and the Black Ghost Sect had no control over it.

After walking quickly for half an hour, Gu Yuan entered the southern area.

People coming and going in the southern area are basically heading for the Spirit Trial Field, where not only can they participate in ranking matches, but they can also get various rewards.

After searching for a while, Gu Yuan finally arrived at a branch of the Blood Chamber of Commerce.

"Sir, do you want to bid or buy something, or do you want to enter the Spirit Trial Field?"

As soon as I walked into the Chamber of Commerce hall, a maid with a sweet voice came up to me and asked respectfully.

The maids did not show any surprise at Gu Yuan's strange dress. After all, such an outfit was very common to them.
