Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Kill Someone for Me
"Please accept these, Master."
Lan Xuan presented the two items to Zhang Chi with both hands. "Master, do you have a blank Jade Scroll?" she asked. "I can Imprint the Secret Technique and give it to you as well."
"Good!"
Zhang Chi nodded in satisfaction.
’It’s a good thing I didn’t kill Lan Xuan.’
’Otherwise, he would have struggled to find these two Spiritual Objects, and even if he had, he wouldn’t have been able to collect or use them.’
He accepted the two Spiritual Objects, then immediately gave her three blank Jade Scrolls.
"Give me the Beast Taming Secret Techniques you know, as well as the Array Control Technique for this place. Of course, you can omit any parts restricted by your Spirit Contract."
"Of course." Lan Xuan nodded obediently, taking the Jade Scrolls and beginning to Imprint them.
"Please accept these, Master."
The Imprinting was quickly finished. She respectfully handed the Jade Scrolls to Zhang Chi and continued, "By the way, soaking the Demon Snake Spine in the Eye of the Spirit Spring produces water that can enhance the strength, and even the bloodline, of Low Tier Demon Beasts."
"However, the beast also risks Demonization. If you use this method to cultivate a normal Spirit Pet, Master, you must remember to control the dosage. I have included detailed instructions on the precise amounts in the Jade Scroll."
"Alright, I’ll keep that in mind."
Zhang Chi nodded calmly, but his heart leaped with joy.
’He’d been worried his Four-legged Spirit Snake couldn’t keep up with his own pace of growth. The Demon Snake Spine had arrived at the perfect time.’
’Furthermore, he could use this Demon Snake Spine to cultivate other Spirit Beasts in the future.’
’And that was the true purpose of the Demon Snake Spine.’
"Also, the Eye of the Spirit Spring is actually the source of Spiritual Power for the Array outside. Now that it has been taken, the Array will soon dissipate. If you want to maintain it, you’ll have to use Spirit Stones!"
"Additionally, this Array is called the Thousand Illusions Spirit Lock Array. It has inner and outer layers. Used together, it’s equivalent to a typical Tier Two Middle Grade Array, but used separately, each layer is Tier Two Low Grade. And these eight stone pillars here are actually the Array Flags."
"Should I put away the Array Flags now?" Lan Xuan continued.
In fact, the Foundation Establishment Elder from before hadn’t been in a hurry to collect the Array and the two Spiritual Objects precisely because he was planning to hide here a while longer.
Otherwise, these items would have ended up in the elder’s Storage Bag. Fortunately, with Lan Xuan around, Zhang Chi was unaffected.
"Take them down."
Zhang Chi didn’t hesitate.
"Understood."
Lan Xuan nodded and formed a Spirit Technique with her hands.
RUMBLE...
The stone pillars flashed with light and trembled violently. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into eight small, foot-long black Array Flags, which Zhang Chi then swept into his storage hairband with a wave of his hand.
BANG!
At the same moment, the Illusion Array and the Protective Array outside dissipated.
"Let’s go!"
With a few flickers, Zhang Chi was back outside and began to quickly process the Demon Beast corpses.
Lan Xuan immediately followed to help.
As for Chen Ling’er and the others, they were nearby, still unconscious.
Meanwhile, with Lan Xuan, a disciple of the Spirit Control Sect, present, no Demonized Beasts came near.
"Let’s go!"
A moment later, Zhang Chi finished his work and left directly with Lan Xuan.
SWISH...
The next moment, a Spiritual Mink poked its head out from a corner, observed its surroundings, and finally scampered out.
It swatted Chen Ling’er and the others with its tail until they all finally woke up.
This mink was Chen Ling’er’s Spirit Pet.
Zhang Chi had noticed it running in circles inside the Illusion Array long ago but had simply ignored it.
"What happened?"
"We’re still alive? Where are we? Why is there a cave here? What about that old Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator? He didn’t kill us?"
"This is great! I thought I was a goner for sure!"
The group was bewildered at first, but their confusion quickly turned to ecstatic joy.
"My Sword Talisman is shattered? I know! That Foundation Establishment Elder must have been severely wounded by my Sword Talisman and fled."
"He didn’t take our things or kill us, probably because he was too injured and didn’t have time. Or maybe he didn’t dare to completely offend our Cangwu Sect and was even more afraid of being tracked by one of our Sect’s Secret Techniques!"
Chen Ling’er quickly came up with this new theory, her imagination filling in all the blanks.
"So that’s what happened!"
Her fellow disciples had a moment of realization and immediately became convinced.
"As long as we’re alive, that’s all that matters! We didn’t lose anything, anyway!"
"It’s just a shame about your Protective Sword Talisman, Senior Sister. That was from Martial Uncle Chen Bufan. But don’t worry! When we get back to the Sect, our families will make sure to thank and compensate you. We absolutely won’t let you take a loss over this!"
"That’s right."
Then, one after another, they all made promises.
"Haha, you’re all too kind. We’re fellow disciples; there’s no need for such formality. Without that Sword Talisman, I would have died too. Saving you was just incidental."
Chen Ling’er’s heart ached over the loss of her Sword Talisman, and her eyes reddened, but she still smiled and declined their offers.
"We insist..."
"That’s right!"
"Alright, then!"
But they all insisted. Seeing this, Chen Ling’er finally nodded, feeling much better inside.
"I don’t know what’s going on. Not only are the Demonized Beasts here more numerous and stronger, but even a Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator showed up."
"Let’s not worry about that for now. We should rendezvous with the other disciples first!"
"Right. We also need to send a message to the seven martial uncles. Even if an Array is blocking the signal, we have to try. What if they receive it?"
"This cave must be the Demon Cultivator’s lair. We should wait until we have more people before exploring it. It would be trouble if there’s another powerful Demon Cultivator inside."
After that, Chen Ling’er’s group left quickly, discussing the matter as they went.
***
Far away, Zhang Chi saw this and smiled faintly, only then retracting his powerful Divine Thought.
"Since you’re the ones responsible for these Demonized Beasts, you should be able to control them, right?" Zhang Chi asked, turning to Lan Xuan.
"Yes. The ones who kept the Demon Beasts away from you and led you astray multiple times... that was actually us," Lan Xuan said, bowing her head in terror.
"No matter. I guessed as much long ago. But since you can do it, use those Demon Beasts to kill someone for me. Once you’re done, you can leave for now. We can stay in touch about what comes next."
"Also, you performed well earlier, so you can have your Storage Bag, Spirit Beast Bag, and Breaking Charms back," Zhang Chi added with a faint smile.
"What? Master, you’re not blaming me, and you’re letting me leave? And you’re giving me back my Storage Bag and other things? Really?"
Lan Xuan was stunned and couldn’t help but exclaim.
She had been worried sick.
After all, this was no place for her to linger.
If she were discovered by a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Cangwu Sect, she would certainly die.
Her Storage Bag and other items were also extremely important to her.
Even with her considerable Cultivation and distinguished status, life would be incredibly difficult without them.
Without those things, she wouldn’t even be able to leave this Grand Canyon alive, let alone make it back to Yuan Bei and reach Foundation Establishment.
"Of course, it’s true."
Zhang Chi didn’t explain further, simply tossing Lan Xuan’s Storage Bag and other items over to her.
These items were quite valuable; to be honest, Zhang Chi was a little reluctant to part with them.
But Zhang Chi placed more importance on Lan Xuan’s future.
Besides, Lan Xuan’s contribution to him obtaining the spine, the Eye of the Spirit Spring, and the eight Array Flags was undeniable. Returning these items to her was, in a way, a reward.
’Besides, Lan Xuan herself belongs to me now, let alone her belongings.’
"Thank you, Master!"
Lan Xuan, however, was overjoyed.
Her eyes instantly reddened as she tremblingly accepted the items, almost suspecting she was dreaming.
"Master, who do you want me to kill? I will definitely do it for you!"
Then, Lan Xuan took a deep breath, calmed herself, and said with the utmost seriousness.
"The man is named Song Yan. He..." Zhang Chi nodded in satisfaction and began his description.
