“Thud! Thud!”

In an instant, the enemies who were running towards Chen Xiaobei began dropping like dead flies. Their faces were a chalky grey, their eyes lacklustre, as if they had fallen terribly ill and they were so weakened that they could not get themselves off the ground.

This was how evil spirits attacked! They first consumed the Yang Qi from a human – causing the victim to run out of strength and spirit. Then, they would be killed before they could even put up a fight. The rare few who managed to survive the onslaught would have to rest for at least one year before they could stand on their feet again.

Even though Chen Xiaobei’s enemies were numerous, they were unable to withstand the huge number of evil spirits. Only one wave of them had passed and over hundreds of enemies fell.

Once they fell, they would never be able to get back on their feet anymore.

If this were to continue, they would all be eventually wiped out.

“Why is it that your men are the ones falling to the ground? What is happening? Stop! The people at the back! Stop charging forward! Stop!”

There was a commotion and screams of confusion among the enemies.

But the evil spirits continued to attack, mowing down waves of enemies until their numbers dwindled to about only a dozen.

At once, Chen Xiaobei turned around and quickly started running.

It was obvious then, that Chen Xiaobei’s goal was not to exterminate his enemies but to draw them away from the dungeon.

“No! He’s running away!” Someone shouted.

“He’s too unpredictable! Should we go after him?” The evil spirits’ attacks had sowed fear in their hearts.

“Of course, we have to!” one of the grand elders shouted. “We’ll go after him but we won’t attack! Go to Crimson Ray Pavilion and report to our faction leader. Tell him that the kid is headed South! We’ll need the core elders or the co-faction leader to back us up!”

“Yes!”

The remaining Penglai disciples split themselves into two groups. One group would continue to pursue Chen Xiaobei, while the other would go to Crimson Ray Pavillion.

The enemies were successfully drawn away from the dungeon, but Chen Xiaobei left the evil spirits to keep watch as a contingency plan.

The Spirit Summoning Talisman’s effect could last for one hour, enough time for Chen Xiaobei to complete his master plan.

Confident that the people in the dungeon were now safe, Chen Xiaobei drew his enemies to the far North of the Island.

There was a thick forest there which was suitable for hiding from the enemies, its camouflage making it difficult for them to locate him.

Once Chen Xiaobei stepped into the forest, he put on his Nightstalker Outfit, and became invisible to the naked eye.

The enemy’s backup arrived immediately after.

“All hail the co-faction leader! All hail the co-faction leader!”

From the sounds of it, Chen Xiaobei should have successfully led the real enemy here.

Chen Xiaobei spied on his adversaries from a hidden spot.

The man who was walking in front was probably in his forties and had an imposing look in appearance. He was the co-faction leader, Yin Wuhuan!

Just as Fang Zi’er said, he was an elite at an early phase of Ethereal Cultivation with 180,000 combat power.

Behind him, stood a group of men who were a little older than he was – they were Penglai Faction’s core elders. All of them were at the later phase of Celestial Phase of Cultivation. Two of them had even reached 110,000 and 130,000 combat power respectively.

Being a top-tier ancient faction, Penglai Faction’s true strength had finally been showcased.

“A report, Co-faction leader! The kid has entered the forest!” A young disciple reported with his head bowed down in respect.

Smack!

Yin Wuhuan slapped the disciple hard on the face and barked, “I have no time for your nonsense! Get your ass into the forest now and find that son of a bitch!”

“Yes, sir.”

The young man’s face had swollen into a deep shade of red, and there was blood dripping from the corner of his lips. He felt wronged, but he dared not show it and went into the forest obediently.

The others followed him.

“Comb through the forest thoroughly! Even if you have to dig a ditch in the ground with your fingers, I want that punk found! He killed my nephew and I will make him pay! He will regret that he was ever being born!” Yin Wuhuan growled as he ventured into the forest.

What he was unaware was that while he was busy making threats at Chen Xiaobei, the ‘punk’ he was looking for had long since left the forest in his Nightstalker outfit and was already making his way to Crimson Ray Pavilion.

Crimson Ray Pavilion was where the faction leader Yin Wuqiu resided!

Once Yin Wuqiu was taken care of, this whole thing would be over!

Shortly after he had left the forest, Chen Xiaobei arrived at Crimson Ray Pavillion. Instead of entering the building, he used his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes to look through the walls, taking a good look at the situation inside.

Thanks to Monkey King’s guidance, Chen Xiaobei figured out how he could go up against Yin Wuqiu. For this approach to work, however, he would need to need to wait for the right moment.

He would have to wait very patiently.

After a while, that very important juncture arrived.

A young, good looking full-figured woman brought a cup of tea to the seated Yin Wuqiu.

“Darling! I’ve made this ginseng tea for you myself. Take a sip to cool off.”

The woman placed the cup on the table.

“This is it!” Chen Xiaobei took out the High-tier Prosperous Monkey Fur from the Infinite Space Ring.

Chen Xiaobei breathed on the fur and shouted, “72 Changes!”

There was a flash of bright light and Chen Xiaobei’s body began to shrink.

In a blink of an eye, he was the size of an ant, and on his back, there was a pair of wings. He took to the air, looking very much like a flying ant.

“Wow! This is incredible! With the Nightstalker outfit still on, I am now an invisible flying ant! Not only can I fly, I can also avoid detection! Yin Wuqiu! The show is about to begin!”

Chen Xiaobei flapped his wings excitedly and entered the Crimson Ray Pavilion through the cracks between the door and the frame.

“Faction leader! Just drink one sip! I’m worried that all that anger in you is going to mess with your body. Where would you find the strength to subdue the enemy then?” The woman cooed.

“Mm, you’re right! I cannot let this anger consume me! I have to focus my emotions so that I can retaliate with full force! I swear if don’t get my revenge on my son’s murderer, I’m not a real man!”

Yin Wuqiu picked up the cup and downed the tea in one gulp.

“Phew!” Yin Wuqiu exhaled, feeling the anger that was clouding his head slowly waning. With a clear head, he was now able to make better decisions.

Little did he know that inside that cup of ginseng tea was microscopic, yet alarmingly deadly ‘flying ant’!

Glug! Glug!

Chen Xiaobei was washed down with the tea into Yin Wuqiu’s stomach.

At Yin Wuqiu’s level of cultivation, he basically had no need for food consumption. Due to the abscence of sustenence, his stomach was spick and span except for the tea.

Swoosh!

Chen Xiaobei launched himself out of the tea puddle.

A sinister smile grew from the corner of his lips as he looked at the bright red wall of Yin Wuqiu’s stomach.
