Chapter 45: Kind Elder

Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios

After a while, Chen Huan's mouth was bleeding, but everything became clearhe had rushed out of the forest!

Hahahahahahaha Although the Man-Faced Spider was still hot on his heels, Chen Huan was delighted.

After leaving the mountain forest, he would reach the Dark Demon Subduing Array about five kilometers ahead.

If the Man-Faced Spider did not stop, it would definitely die.

That little bastard, Pei Ling, almost caused all my years of hard work to go down the drain. Chen Huan took the time to turn around and take a look. Seeing that the Man-Faced Spider's eyes were bloodshot and that it had no intention of giving up, he could not help but sneer inwardly. When I come back

for it later, I'll definitely chop it up and feed it to the Soul Summoning Banner!

However, this little bastard has done a good deed by accident.

The Man-Faced Spider has yet to calm down and weigh the pros and cons of pursuing me. It's very likely that it will chase me into the City Protection Array next.

When the time comes, I'll be ready to bury it. Even if it's a demon beast at the Foundation Establishment stage, it will be reduced to ashes by the array formation. As long as there's even a little bit of ashes left, it's enough for me to make a small fortune It's just nice to use it to repair the Soul Summoning

Banner.

As he thought about this, he felt increasingly happy. Even the injuries on his body seemed to have subsided a little.

At this moment, a cool breeze blew past and City Lord Duanmu appeared in midair.

City Lord?! Chen Huan was stunned. He immediately thought that he would probably not be able to benefit from the Man-Faced Spider. However, on second thought, the effect of the Blood Ignition Technique was about to end. Even if he was lucky enough to escape into the range of the array formation,

if the Man-Faced Spider risked its life to give him a shot, or if he encountered other risks, there might be trouble.

Meeting City Lord Duanmu at this time might not be a bad thing.

A smile appeared on his face as he quickly changed directions and shouted, City Lord, save me! I don't know why that Man-Faced Spider left its nest and chased me all the way here. It has undertaken a long journey and is exhausted. It's the best opportunity for you to attack!

City Lord Duanmu's gaze swept across him. When he saw the Soul Summoning Banner, a smile instantly appeared in his eyes. Alright.

Joy appeared on Chen Huan's face when he heard this. He increased his speed and ran towards City Lord Duanmu. He saw the other party raise his hand and slap him.

It seemed like a light and powerless move, but Chen Huan was suddenly sent flying dozens of feet away, blood spurting out of his mouth! He could not even hold the Soul Summoning Banner and dropped it.

City Lord, what are you doing?! Chen Huan turned pale with fright, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope. After all, if City Lord Duanmu wanted to kill him, the attack just now was enough to take his life. Now that he was only seriously injured, it was obvious that this City Lord had no intention of

killing him.

At the thought of this, he observed the other party's expression intently. Seeing that City Lord Duanmu had turned a deaf ear to his question and was staring intently at the Soul Summoning Banner, his face could not help but twitch. Just as he was about to say something, a hand formed by spirit energy

had already risen from behind City Lord Duanmu. It grabbed the Soul Summoning Banner and handed it to the City Lord.

Good stuff! The Soul Summoning Banner was refined by Chen Huan. At this moment, it was naturally unconvinced in City Lord Duanmu's hands. It struggled and wailed, wanting to fly back to Chen Huan'ss side. City Lord Duanmu looked at it carefully but was not angry. Instead, he stroked his short

beard and praised, As expected of a high-grade talisman artifact! A mere Qi Refinement realm talisman dares to resist a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Over time, such a fierce personality will definitely be of assistance in cultivation.

With that, he flipped his hand and an array disc appeared. It flashed with a black light that enveloped the Soul Summoning Banner. In just a breath's time, Chen Huan felt as if a steel knife had been stabbed into his brain, forcefully severing something.

He could not help but let out a heart-wrenching scream!

Immediately after, he realized that his connection with the Soul Summoning Banner had been completely severed.

City Lord Duanmu slowly put away the Soul Summoning Banner and extended his hand to point at the ground. Several thick vines suddenly grew out of the originally bare ground and wrapped around Chen Huan tightly.

Then he summoned a dark cloud and sat upright on it. It floated in midair as he waited calmly.

Not long after, the Man-Faced Spider caught up with them. Sensing the aura of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it hesitated for a moment but did not retreat. Instead, it advanced ferociously!

Fellow Daoist, I'm the City Lord of Spiraling Mountain City. Not far behind me is the Dark Demon Subduing Array. City Lord Duanmu cupped his hands, bowed from the cloud, and said slowly, Although I don't know how these juniors have offended you, as the saying goes, it's easier to make enemies

than to reconcile. Along the way, I'm sure you've killed a few of them with your ability. Now, I'll give this kid at the sixth-stage Qi Refinement realm to you. Let's forget about this matter. At least let's forget about today. How about it?

Chen Huan was so scared that his soul almost left his body. He screamed, Duanmu Yan! How dare you!!! Foundation Establishment cultivators murdering Qi Refinement cultivators is bullying the weak. According to the sect's rules, you

Noisy! City Lord Duanmu's expression did not change as he reprimanded calmly. With a wave of his hand, Chen Huan felt that his tongue was stuck and could not speak.

City Lord Duanmu ignored him and discussed seriously with the Man-Faced Spider. Although this Chen Huan might not be able to compensate for Fellow Daoist's losses, it's still a token from me. Fellow Daoist has come out of the deep mountains to lay eggs. You must be badly injured now. Even without

entering the Dark Demon Subduing Array, our cultivation realms are similar. Even if your body is powerful, you and I won't gain anything from fighting each other.

If we alert the elites of our Holy Sect, Fellow Daoist will definitely die.

So let's call it a day. It's good for you and for me.

'The Man-Faced Spider's mouthpiece hissed as it waved its tentacles in midair as if rejecting the offer.

Fellow Daoist, must we have a fight? Seeing this, City Lord Duanmu could not help but sneer. Do you really think that I, Duanmu Yan, am easy to bully just because I'm backing down?!

Before he could finish speaking, spirit energy surged around him and the array disc in his hand was suffused with corpse aura and killing intent!

Instantly, he suppressed the Man-Faced Spider's ferocity.

'The Man-Faced Spider let out a low whistle. Its four pairs of feet left deep marks on the ground. When it streaked across some mountain rocks, sparks flew. It was obvious that its heart was not calm.

After a while, it raised its head and let out a shrill cry. Suddenly, it spat out a spider web!

City Lord Duanmu watched calmly.

A spiderweb enveloped Chen Huan!

The toxicity of the Man-Faced Spider Silk instantly burned his body. Even though Chen Huan could not make a sound now, he could not help twitching in pain.

However, just this was not enough to drive away the Man-Faced Spider's anger and hatred. It pulled Chen Huan forward and, with a foot like a knife, cut off Chen Huan's limbs in an instant. It even started chewing his arm in front of him!

As it chewed, its fierce eyes stared intently at City Lord Duanmu.

City Lord Duanmu played with the new Soul Summoning Banner with a faint smile. His expression did not change.

'The Man-Faced Spider deliberately slowed down its eating motion and finished Chen Huan's limbs bit by bit. Seeing that City Lord Duanmu remained calm and composed, and after weighing the pros and cons, it finally threw Chen Huan angrily like a human swine onto its back and retreated with hatred.

Fellow Daoist, take care. Seeing this, City Lord Duanmu heaved a sigh of relief. He formed an incantation gesture and Chen Huan, who was on the verge of death, immediately realized that he could finally speak. He could not help but forcefully cry out, City Lord, please spare my life! Take the Soul

Summoning Banner as my way of showing filial piety to the City Lord! I'm willing to be your servant I'm willing to swear an inner demon oath that I'll be under the orders of the City Lord and Senior Brother Mingyan for the rest of my life. I won't hesitate to go through hardships and dangers City

Lord, please spare my life!

City Lord, please show mercy!!!

City Lord City Lord, I've sent a letter to Senior Brother Mingyan. Senior Brother Mingyan and I are like brothers! City Lord!

As long as you spare my life, City Lord, I'm willing to listen to the Duanmu family's orders for generations to come!!!

City Lord Duanmu stood with his hands behind his back and a smile on his lips. He was unmoved.

'The hope in Chen Huan's heart was completely extinguished. He turned to cursing hysterically. Duanmu Yan! You bastard! As the City Lord of Spiraling Mountain City, you didn't think about protecting the disciples of the Holy Sect. You actually dared to openly rob and kill people. You will die a horrible

death!

And that little bastard, Pei Ling!!!

The Sect's Disciplinary Hall will not let you off!!!

City Lord Duanmu's sovereignty was known to everyone, so he did not care at all.

He chuckled and flicked his sleeve in a happy mood. He transformed into a breeze again and returned to Spiraling Mountain City..
