64: Xing Yunting, a steward of the Demon Suppression Hall!

Chu Yuan did not retreat, firstly, because this place was very far from Xiao Huang Village.

Secondly, because there was a cliff ahead, he had nowhere left to retreat.

"Ant, why don't you keep running?!"

"This King can tell you, ahead is the Sword Dragon Abyss, where Dragon-shaped Sword Qi permeates, even a Sixth-Rank dare not easily enter!"

"You can't escape!"

The Ghost King said with a cold and stern expression, clearly having noticed that Chu Yuan was fighting and fleeing.

Although he hadn't fully understood some of Chu Yuan's actions, it didn't stop him from wanting to kill Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan's expression changed slightly; he had thought it was just an ordinary cliff, but he hadn't expected it to have such a background!

Indeed!

In a Xuanhuan world, there is no simple place!

Even a Sixth-Rank dare not enter; if he fell, he would surely die!

Thinking of this, Chu Yuan naturally would not go towards the cliff edge anymore.

And now, his injuries had reached a point where he had to calm down and recuperate.

It seems... for now, he can only hide, recover, and then come back to kill this Ghost King.

Thinking this, he was about to escape into the primal origin space.

But at this moment, a cold shout suddenly rang out.

"Bold Ghostly Creature! How dare you be so presumptuous!"

As the voice fell, a blade light came at extreme speed, forcing the Ghost King back.

Immediately after, a burly, bearded man in a dark brocade robe appeared before Chu Yuan.

He turned and glanced at Chu Yuan, "This is a Fifth-Rank Ghost King. You stand far away, be careful not to get caught in the crossfire!"

With that, he looked at the Ghost King opposite him with a mocking gaze.

"A dignified Ghost King, attacking a Junior in the Spirit Vortex Realm like this, isn't that shameful?"

The Ghost King's expression changed slightly, "An elder of the Demon Suppression Hall? Don't interfere in today's matter!"

As he spoke, his eyes filled with anger, and he looked at Chu Yuan coldly, "He killed my woman and slaughtered my subordinates. Today, this King will surely kill him!"

Hearing this, the bearded man's eyes widened slightly in surprise, and he turned to look at Chu Yuan, "You kid really did such a thing?"

Chu Yuan cupped his hands and chuckled, "Replying to Senior, last night, relying on a Formation, I killed three Third-Rank Ghostly Creatures, one of whom was female."

Hearing this, the bearded man showed surprise, "You kid are a Formation Master?"

"I accidentally obtained the Legacy of a Fifth-Rank Formation Master and taught myself a little!"

Chu Yuan chuckled, naturally not revealing that he had obtained Duanmu Shenfeng's Legacy.

He didn't even know Duanmu Shenfeng's background, nor did he know who Duanmu Shenfeng had offended; how could he be so foolish as to say he had obtained his Legacy?

Fifth-Rank Formation Master Legacy?

Just right!

And hearing Chu Yuan's words, the bearded man nodded in satisfaction, "You have some talent. Wait by the side. I'll talk after I slay this Ghostly Creature."

With that, he turned to face the Ghost King.

The Ghost King's expression grew even colder, "Human, do you really intend to interfere in this matter?"

"Hehe!"

The bearded man sneered, "You are a Ghostly Creature, and I am an elder of the Demon Suppression Hall. My job is to suppress Demons, monsters, ghosts, and ghouls. What do you think?"

"I, Xing Yunting, am irreconcilable with you Demons, monsters, ghosts, and ghouls!"

"Die!"

With that, he said no more, drawing his blade and charging forward quickly.

Seeing this, the Ghost King's expression grew even uglier, and the atmospheric pressure around him dropped terrifyingly low.

His face was gloomy, and his body's Ghost Qi condensed into dark ghostly claws, attacking Xing Yunting.

Chu Yuan was about to warn him, but then he heard Xing Yunting let out a cold snort, "Petty tricks!"

As his voice fell, a sharp blade light shot out from his hand, directly meeting the ghostly claws.

"Boom!"

The two attacks collided, and terrifying fluctuations swept in all directions, making it almost impossible for Chu Yuan to open his eyes.

But the Ghost King was already severely injured, and the ghostly claws were ultimately no match for the blade light.

The ghostly claws shattered, and although the blade light weakened slightly, it continued to rush towards the Ghost King.

The Ghost King's expression changed slightly, and he hastily dodged. When he looked at Xing Yunting, his eyes were full of fear.

That was his strongest killing move, yet it was broken so easily by the opponent.

If he stayed, he would truly die!

Thinking of this, he already had the intention to retreat in his eyes.

He glared at Chu Yuan with hatred, his voice cold, "Ant, if it weren't for this King being injured before, how could I let you be so presumptuous!"

"I, Night Mantis, remember you. You just wait for this King!"

"This grudge will surely be repaid!"

With that, he turned without hesitation and fled rapidly towards the west.

"Trying to escape?"

"Did you ask me first?"

Xing Yunting let out a cold shout and directly pursued him.

Chu Yuan was hesitating whether to go up and help when he saw a token thrown over.

"Kid, take this token to Cuiyun City, and you can enter the Demon Suppression Sub-Hall of Cuiyun City!"

As Xing Yunting's voice fell, the two had already run far away, one chasing and one fleeing.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan shook his head helplessly, "Cuiyun City? I do want to go, but you should at least tell me which direction to go!"

He shook his head and sighed, then looked at the token in his hand.

The token was dark gold, engraved with some ancient patterns.

The front had a carving of an evil suppressing bell, with the three characters 'Demon Suppression Hall' inscribed on it.

The back had two vertical lines of characters:

Cuiyun Sub-Hall!

Demon Suppression Guard!

Chu Yuan put away the token, scanned his surroundings, his expression a little serious.

"My injuries are not light now, and I need to find a place to heal as soon as possible. This place is not suitable for staying long."

"Moreover, with that Senior there, that Ghost King is probably doomed, so I won't worry about it."

With that, Chu Yuan quickly departed in the direction Xing Yunting had come from.

On the other side.

Xing Yunting occasionally sent out a blade light, making Night Mantis extremely disheveled.

Occasionally, he would even be hit by the blade light, and Ghost Qi would constantly dissipate from his body.

In less than half an hour, Night Mantis's figure was already somewhat dispersed, looking very weak.

"Human, do you really intend to exterminate me?"

The Ghost King Night Mantis said coldly, his tone now carrying a hint of fear.

Xing Yunting sneered, "Ghostly Creatures are all dead. Why come back to suffer in the world? I am helping you find liberation!"

With that, another terrifying blade light suddenly shot out.

"Ah!"

"Damn human!"

Night Mantis failed to dodge and was struck by the blade light, letting out a miserable cry.

"Human, you just wait for me!"

The Ghost King Night Mantis let out an angry roar, and the Ghost Qi on his body surged by seventy percent.

Then, he actually transformed into a wisp of Ghost Qi and sped rapidly towards the west.

In an instant, he covered a hundred li, and in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from Xing Yunting's sight.

Seeing this, Xing Yunting's expression changed slightly.

"Fleeing with Origin Ghost Qi, it seems he's been pushed to a dead end."

"But can he escape?"

Xing Yunting let out a cold snort, his body moved slightly, and he chased in that direction.

But very quickly, he couldn't help but stop, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Wait!"

"That direction... seems to be where the Myriad Ghost Cave is located. It seems I can't pursue him!"

A hint of fear flashed in Xing Yunting's eyes as he took a deep look in the direction Night Mantis had left, then turned and quickly departed.

Not long after, he returned to the top of the Sword Dragon Abyss cliff but did not see Chu Yuan.

"This kid actually left?"

Xing Yunting frowned, "I hope he doesn't encounter any danger on the way!"

With that, he also turned and left.
