The guards heard the reward and their eyes instantly lit up. They exerted their utmost effort to chase after the person.
“You all should go too!”
Qitian Yu instructed the guards who were by his side.
Previously, he didn’t know who had plotted against him, which prompted him to have so many experts protect him.
Now that he knew the assassin was Gu Xiaonan, he had no reason to hold back.
Not capturing Gu Xiaonan would leave him unable to vent his hatred!
Beside Qitian Yu were three experts of the Stage of the Heavenly Realm. Apart from his personal bodyguards, the other two were ones he had hired with a hefty sum.
Just a while ago, they were regretting not being able to obtain ten thousand taels of gold. Upon hearing that they could also join the pursuit, they immediately displayed their skills to chase the target.
Experts at the Stage of the Heavenly Realm were much stronger than others. In a short while, they had overtaken most of the guards and rushed to the front.
Feng Yuanxi dashed forward with all his might, leading them southeast.
Suddenly, a sense of danger surged within him.
Relying on his intuition, he grabbed Xiao Bai and plummeted downward.
Whoosh!
A sword light swept past his head.
Boom!
A nearby wall was instantly destroyed by the sword energy.
Feng Yuanxi looked up and saw a cold-faced man.
Since his opponent’s first strike had failed, he launched another attack.
Feng Yuanxi’s young face turned serious.
This person was not weak.
In the face of a battle, Feng Yuanxi remained fearless.
However, he couldn’t waste time here; the pursuers behind him would catch up soon.
Swiftly accessing his spatial storage, he took out a concealed weapon. Purple light gleamed as it morphed into an array of razor-sharp projectiles, soaring towards his adversary.
Then, he turned and ran.
Suddenly, a tall and thin middle-aged man holding a Soul Seizing Banner appeared, chanting incantations.
In an instant, the world changed, and a fierce wind began to blow.
Black mist emerged from the Soul Seizing Banner, forming ghostly faces that rushed toward Feng Yuanxi with mournful cries.
Seeing those ghostly faces, a look of disgust filled Feng Yuanxi’s cold eyes.
He was enveloped in purple light as if bathed in sacred radiance, untouchable.
The ghostly spirits hadn’t even touched him when they were incinerated by the purple light, screaming and fleeing.
However, they couldn’t escape even a yard before being caught by the purple light and consumed.
Amidst the piercing screams, they turned into wisps of smoke.
Seeing this, the tall and thin man revealed an astonished expression on his pale face. “Impossible! My Soul Seizing Banner is a sacred artifact! How could you easily destroy my ghosts? Let’s see how many more you can eliminate!”
He infused arcane power into the Soul Seizing Banner, causing it to instantly expand and fly into the air.
The banner’s surface rolled violently like a dark cloud obscuring the sun. Below the banner, a demonic wind surged, and countless ghostly spirits emerged from the banner, their faces hideous as they rushed toward Feng Yuanxi.
They collided with the purple light and were instantly reduced to ashes.
Yet they surged forward like moths to a flame, coming one after another.
Feng Yuanxi’s youthful face gradually paled.
The purple light surrounding him also dimmed.
Seeing this, the tall and thin middle-aged man burst into hearty laughter.
“Little brat, I’m going to refine you into the Soul Seizing Banner and make you my most powerful ghostly spirit!”
As they were obstructed by him and the emotionless man, the rest of the pursuers started to arrive one after another.
Feng Yuanxi bit his lips, his face fearless, except for his tightly clenched fist by his side that betrayed his nervousness.
Qitian Yu stood not far away, panting heavily, a look of delight in his eyes. “Old ghost, don’t kill him just yet! Wait until Gu Qingluan arrives and let her witness this little brat being sacrificed to your Soul Seizing Banner!”
He wanted the person who harmed him to regret it beyond measure, to feel so much pain that they wished for death!
Yan the Old Ghost burst into laughter. “Haha, alright! Fifth Prince, don’t make this old man wait too long. I’m looking forward to using this little brat to pay tribute to my precious lost souls!”
“How dare you! You think you can use my son as a sacrificial offering? Let’s see if you can live to do so!”
A furious roar resonated through the heavens, bringing with it a pressure reminiscent of an immense tidal wave, rendering it hard to catch one’s breath.
Everyone looked up in shock.
Who was it?
Feng Yuanxi’s eyes brightened, and he looked toward the distance with excitement.
It was his mother’s voice!
