Xiao Tasha frowned slightly. Chen Huan quickly said, “Junior Sister, don’t stoop to her level. When the Soul Summoning Banner is completed, I’ll hand her over to you.”
With that, he glanced at her cousin extremely coldly and said coldly, “Junior Sister Xiao is devoted to me. At first, I had no romantic feelings toward her. As time passed, I started to develop feelings for her. How could I bear to be heartless and disappoint her? You’re an unreasonable slut who only knows to
pursue the Great Dao. How could you know about true feelings?”
That cousin laughed coldly but did not say anything else.
Xiao Tasha thought that she was at a loss for words and was delighted. She burned a drop of blood essence and urged the Mother Array to speed up the refinement. A light flashed on the Soul Summoning Banner and its aura fluctuated. She quickly shouted, “Senior Brother! Hurry up and drip your blood
essence, From now on, you will be the owner of this Soul Summoning Banner. The Accomplice Ghosts will not be able to resist you!”
“Alright!” Chen Huan had been planning this for many years. Now that he had succeeded, his heart could not help but beat faster. He quickly cut his fingertip and forced out a drop of blood essence. He flicked it onto the Soul Summoning Banner. After obtaining that drop of blood essence, the Soul
Summoning Banner quickly stabilized. At the same time, Chen Huan felt its connection to his heart. With just a thought, he understood its functions.
Even though the Accomplice Ghosts had a deep-seated hatred for him a moment ago, they were all subservient now and could not even think of resisting him.
“Good! Good, good, good!” Chen Huan extended his hand and beckoned. The Soul Summoning Banner left the spot and flew into his palm.
He rubbed the banner and was overjoyed.
Xiao Tasha was on the verge of collapse and panting heavily. She felt a little resentful that he did not come over to help her immediately like before. However, on second thought, he had been busy refining this Soul Summoning Banner since entering the sect. Now that his long-cherished wish had been
fulfilled, it was alright for him to ignore her in his ecstasy.
So she leaned over and called out “Senior Brother” sweetly. Just as she was about to remind him of her hard work, Chen Huan looked up and smiled at her. “Junior Sister, I almost forgot about you.”
“It’s alright…” Xiao Tasha thought that he was apologizing to her, so she spoke gently. However, before she could finish speaking, there was a sound of a giant tree falling to the ground not far away. Immediately, a spider web covered the Mother Array—the Man-Faced Spider had caught up with them!
Xiao Tasha’s expression changed. Ignoring her own sufferings, she urged Chen Huan, “Senior Brother, leave quickly! I’ll control the array to hide you for a while. Later, I’ll use the Breath Restraining Talisman to contact you…”
Before she could finish, she felt a chill in her chest!
She was stunned for a moment before she realized that Chen Huan was holding the Soul Summoning Banner in one hand and her beating heart in the other.
“Senior Brother… You… You…” Xiao Tasha was shocked and confused. She wanted to say something, but blood was flowing out of the corner of her mouth and she fell to the ground.
“Junior Sister Xiao, don’t blame me.” As Chen Huan urged the Soul Summoning Banner to transform into a black cloud that swept him towards Spiraling Mountain City, he grabbed her corpse to facilitate the absorption of the talisman. He said calmly, “You said it yourself. Huang Xian and Zhang Zhongqin
are badly injured now. The timing is also wrong, I’m afraid the effect might not be good.
Thave to borrow Junior Sister’s soul and flesh to nourish it.
Junior Sister is so loyal to me that even your biological cousin, who has always treated you well, was deceived into the Soul Summoning Banner. I’m sure you can’t bear to see my hard work over the years go down the drain at the last minute, right?
Moreover, the Soul Summoning Banner will be with me from now on and will never leave my side. Junior Sister, as an accomplice ghost, you must be very happy to be able to accompany me at all times.
In the end, I didn’t let you down.
Thank you, Junior Sister, for your kindness to me.
When I return to the sect, I’ll definitely find a place with auspicious geomantic omens in the back mountain of Shady Sophora Peak. I’ll set up a cenotaph for you as your husband and offer sacrifices year after year!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the blood in Xiao Tasha’s body disappeared. The Soul Summoning Banner rippled like water. A blank-faced Xiao Tasha appeared.
Chen Huan raised his hand to touch her face and said slowly, “Good junior sister, stay inside obediently. I’ll fulfill my promise and take you out of here.”
Meanwhile, Pei Ling had already fled to the edge of the forest. However, because his spirit energy had been completely exhausted, not only was he unable to use the Blood Spiraling Escape Technique, he felt dizzy. The scenery in front of him spun and overlapped, and he almost fainted.
He knew that if he lost consciousness here, he would most likely die. He pulled out the Life-Extinguishing Blade and struck his own arm!
The pain sobered Pei Ling up a little, but this situation could not last long… Pei Ling forced himself to calm down and took a deep look at the distant Spiraling Mountain City. He did not go straight there. Instead, based on his memory, he changed directions and forced himself to head for the nearest main
road that led to Spiraling Mountain City.
Spiraling Mountain City was much larger and more prosperous than Deer Spring City. Before long, a convoy passed by on the road.
Seeing that he was in a sorry state, the guards were a little surprised and uncertain. They even held the swords at their waists and looked at him warily.
“1m a disciple of the Deep Sea Sect!” Pei Ling was already a spent force at this moment. He even had to lean on the Life-Extinguishing Blade as he stood up. He raised his nameplate high and shouted, “There’s a matter from the sect that needs to be reported to City Lord Duanmu. All of you, quickly send me
into the city… Those who violate the sect’s rules will not be let off lightly!”
The expression of everyone in the team changed when they heard this. One of the guards received a signal from his leader and said, “Excuse me.” He braced himself and rushed forward to check the nameplate. He immediately got off his horse and knelt on the ground. “The Shen Family Trading Company
will comply with your orders!”
Before the group of people were done with kneeling, they heard a thud. When they looked up, Pei Ling had fainted on the ground.
Meanwhile, in the forest, Chen Huan was tumbling through the air for dozens of feet before crashing heavily into a towering ancient tree. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
He did not even dare to turn around. He steered the Soul Summoning Banner and ran!
The moment he left the spot, a pool of venom fell. The vegetation that it touched instantly withered, and even the mud started to emit smoke.
Damn it… What did that little bastard, Pei Ling, do to this bastard?! At this moment, Chen Huan was no longer as skillful as he was when he was scheming against his companions. His face was livid and he looked disheveled. As he ran through the forest, his mind raced. Even if Pei Ling, a fourth level Qi
Refinement cultivator, accidentally attracted the attention of the Man-Faced Spider, it should have given up after chasing him for so long. Why does this Man-Faced Spider seem to have an irreconcilable grudge against him? Not only has it not turned back, but it has also become increasingly crazy!
Isn’t it out to lay eggs? Isn’t it afraid that its nest will be destroyed after leaving it for so long?!
At this moment, there was a shadow above his head. It was a spider web!
Chen Huan quickly changed direction. Unexpectedly, just as he dodged, the spider’s abdomen was raised high again and another spider web suddenly appeared.
After all, after chasing these cultivators for so long, even if the intelligence of a Foundation Establishment demon beast was inferior to that of a human, it was enough to figure out some strategies.
Bastard! Chen Huan was furious. Seeing that it was too late to dodge, he had no choice but to endure the pain in his heart and summon the Soul Summoning Banner to block the spider.
He heard a wail. The Soul Summoning Banner, which he had worked so hard to refine, was considered powerful in the Qi Refinement realm. However, in the face of an angry attack from a Foundation Establishment demon beast, a crack almost appeared on it! Two of the Accomplice Ghosts in it vaporized
in an instant.
If this continued a few more times, this high-grade talisman treasure that was rarely seen in the Qi Refinement realm would probably be scrapped on the spot.
Chen Huan’s heart was bleeding. He hated Pei Ling to the core. It’s best that this little bastard returns to Spiraling Mountain City peacefully. I’ll deal with him personally when I get back!
