Chapter 109
After saying their farewells to Chu Luo, Jiang Chen and his two companions left the Vermillion Bird City to look for the airship that they’d hidden.
On their way, Meng Hao and Wen Xin were discussing whether Chu Luo and her three apprentice sisters’ reluctance to part with Jiang Chen was genuine or not.
“I mean, the spell changed how they felt about Jiang Chen, so their sadness at his departure must’ve been real,” Meng Hao explained what he thought.
“There are no rivers without sources in this world, nor are there trees without roots. How could you say it was real?” Wen Xin didn’t agree with Meng Hao. She was still in a state of shock after seeing the spell.
“But the spell is the source of their emotions. Jiang Chen, what will happen to them if the spell is removed?” Meng Hao said.
Jiang Chen frowned upon hearing their conversation and said, “Please stop talking about the spell.”
The Soul Eating Spell was one of the three forbidden spells in the Sacred Zone. Although many people used them secretly, Jiang Chen didn’t want to talk about it in public.
The flying swords that had missed their target hit the trees and penetrated them without any difficulty.
He could have caught up with me. Why does he insist on using flying swords? For the pleasure of the chase? That’s unprofessional.
Jiang Chen knew he wouldn’t be able to run away from the killer. He turned around and saw the assassin, standing stable on a branch.
He was playing with his flying swords. Despite the mask on his face, Jiang Chen could imagine his teasing expression.
“Your flying swords can’t kill me,” Jiang Chen said coldly.
“Did I say I wanted to kill you? If I catch you alive, I’ll be paid a hundred times more,” the killer said, relaxed.
“Catch me alive?” Jiang Chen didn’t understand this. Did the Black Dragon City plan to torture him to death?
Then suddenly, he recalled Chu Luo’s words and tumbled to the realization.
Ning Haotian’s holy pulse is disappearing little by little. He must have noticed it. And at the same time, mine is rising rapidly. Naturally he could guess what had happened.
Jiang Chen sneered after he realized this. He thought to himself, “Black Dragon City, do you want to deprive me of my holy pulse for a second time? No, I won’t allow it.”
Then he looked up and pretended to be frightened. He gnashed his teeth and said, “Couldn’t you let me go? You should have heard how excellent I was in the imperial mausoleum. I have some treasure from there. I can give it to you.”
“Yeah?”
The killer jumped off the branch and walked towards him.
