The City Lord’s words made everyone look at him in admiration.
A few cultivators could not help but look ashamed.
“You’re right, City Lord! Since we’ve met, as Immortal Cultivators, I’m willing to stay and eliminate the demons!”
“That’s right. I’ve been muddle-headed my entire life. It’s time for me to step forward. This damn demon. I’ll kill him even if it costs me my life!”
“That’s right. My lifespan is only a hundred years. I’ll come again in the next hundred years. This time, we must eliminate the demons!”
“Exterminate the demon, remove the demon, kill the demon!”
Many people shouted, their eyes becoming more and more resolute.
There were also some people who cowered and said their goodbyes to the City Lord.
The City Lord sighed and agreed without any dissatisfaction.
On the contrary, those who stayed behind could not help but look at them with disdain.
With the City Lord’s promise, those people prepared to leave.
But at this moment, Chu Feng spoke.
“It’s too late, the demonic qi has erupted!”
“What?” Everyone was stunned.
Then, they followed Chu Feng’s gaze.
The sky outside had indeed changed.
Boundless demonic qi instantly covered the entire sky, and the city instantly fell into boundless darkness.
“Damn it, what is this demon trying to do?” Someone asked in fear in the darkness.
“Oh no, this is an array formation!” Someone seemed to have recognized the appearance of the demonic qi and thus spoke.
Chu Feng was momentarily stunned.
He had read about array formations in the Hidden Manual Pavilion.
This was a very magical phenomenon.
It was a special zone created by spirit stones being laid in a specific formation.
There were many types of array formations. There were trapping arrays, killing arrays, illusion arrays, etc.
For example, Chu Feng’s cave abode was a type of array formation.
He was very interested, but he had not met anyone who had mastery over array formations.
To think that he would meet it here!
But what was this array formation meant to do?
Looking at the increasingly dense demonic aura around him, Chu Feng frowned.
He didn’t know why, but he had an ominous feeling. A chill ran down his back.
‘Why?’
‘Was there something I missed?’
‘Or is there something wrong with these people?’
Chu Feng moved slightly and distanced himself from these people.
He did not dare to trust anyone. This was something he had always believed in.
Soon, a phenomenon could be seen and the surrounding people exclaimed.
“What is it? I feel something grabbing my feet!”
“Dammit, it looks like a bug. Where did it come from?”
“Ah, my hand! Someone broke my hand!”
“No, no, no, save me!”
…
Chu Feng became even more cautious as he heard the sounds of fear behind him.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past him, bringing with it an extremely weak wind.
If Chu Feng didn’t have a wind spirit root, he wouldn’t even be able to feel this weak wind.
“Who?”
There was no time to explain. Chu Feng immediately used Ghostly Steps to chase after him.
That person ran very quickly like a fish in the sea.
However, compared to the speed of Chu Feng with a wind spirit root, he had clearly made a fatal mistake.
Chu Feng quickly approached and formed seals with his hands. He secretly released the Dao Technique, Wind Binding.
“Ah! What’s that?”
The person in front said in fear.
He struggled frantically, but something was holding him back.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Chu Feng rapidly approached and grabbed that person’s neck. His eyes were filled with spiritual energy as he looked over.
Chu Feng was startled when he saw him.
He had seen this person before.
It was the attendant whom he had gone to inform when he entered the City Lord manor.
Could it be that the person in front of him was the mastermind?
However, Chu Feng immediately rejected his idea.
The person in front of him was very weak. Although he had a lot of demonic qi on him, his strength was only equivalent to the Fifth or Sixth level of Qi Refinement.
It was impossible for him to kill so many cultivators.
“Speak, who laid down the great array?” Chu Feng asked.
“You, you, you’re that Star Luo Sect cultivator?” the manservant asked in horror.
“I’ll give you three seconds. You’ll die if you don’t say anything!” Chu Feng had no intention to waste his breath on him.
This place was getting stranger and stranger. He was getting goosebumps.
“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you. It’s the City…” The servant boy was killed by a hidden weapon before he could finish speaking.
“Who’s there?” Chu Feng looked around.
There was no one around.
‘Who could kill someone in front of me?’
‘It seems like this person is not simple.’
‘And what did the attendant mean by the city?’
‘Could it be the City Lord?’
‘Impossible. How could he be that kind of person?’
Chu Feng couldn’t help but think of the City Lord. However, he didn’t look like someone who would do such a thing.
Or was he trying to frame the City Lord?
Chu Feng shook his head and stopped guessing. He couldn’t stay here any longer and had to leave as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light. Sooner or later, he would be exhausted to death by the enemy.
At the thought of this, Chu Feng randomly chose a direction and ran.
But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a voice.
“Are you the Immortal Master?”
Chu Feng was startled when he heard the voice.
If he did not hear wrongly, it seemed to be the City Lord’s voice.
However, wasn’t the City Lord with those cultivators?
Why did he come here alone?
Chu Feng was even more suspicious, but he didn’t flare-up. “Is it the City Lord? I’m Chu Feng.”
“It’s really you, Immortal Master. This is great. I thought I would never see you again.” The City Lord excitedly ran over along with the voice.
“Why is the City Lord alone? Where are the other cultivators?” Chu Feng asked.
“I don’t know. They seemed to have suffered some kind of attack and all of them died. I was the only one who managed to escape!” The City Lord said with lingering fear.
“All dead?” At this moment, Chu Feng finally realized what was wrong!
With the City Lord’s strength, although he would not die from the start, if the group of cultivators had all died, he should also definitely not be able to survive.
This was because he was the City Lord, he did not have that much time to cultivate, so his ability to fight was definitely worse.
In such a situation, even those cultivators couldn’t hold on, so how could he leave alive?
It was either the City Lord was as lucky as he said, or he had killed all the cultivators!!
At the thought of this, Chu Feng’s scalp went numb.
He hurriedly looked up to check if the person in front of him was still the City Lord.
However, the City Lord had long become a demon shrouded in demonic qi. He smashed a gigantic demonic treasure at Chu Feng’s head.
The huge demonic treasure seemed to be a huge pot. In the hands of the demon, it instantly became the size of a washbasin. The terrifying power caused the demonic qi to erupt in all directions.
If Chu Feng were to be hit, he would be half crippled even if he didn’t die.
At the critical moment, Chu Feng’s battle instincts saved him.
He took a step forward and used Ghostly Steps to leave the spot.
Meanwhile, the attack directly created a huge pit in the ground.
“So it was all you!” Chu Feng now completely understood.
“Hehe, haha, haha, do you finally understand now? Unfortunately, it’s too late.” The City Lord laughed strangely.
“I don’t understand. Why are you doing this? With your status, there’s no need for you to go crazy, right?” Chu Feng said.
As he spoke, he did not stop what he was doing.
He secretly executed a Dao Technique and released the Dharma spell Wind Binding.
Using Wind Binding, he crept towards the City Lord.
“Humph! Small tricks!” The city lord seemed to have sensed it and smashed Chu Feng’s Wind Binding into pieces.
“Do you want to know why I did that?” The City Lord laughed maniacally. “It’s all because of you guys. Why can’t I be given a chance to cultivate to a higher realm? Isn’t it just because my spirit root is insufficient? Alright, I’ll raise my spirit root now. I’ll see if you people from the sect will accept me or not!”
“Spirit root?” Chu Feng was stunned for a moment. So this was the reason.
