Chapter 1089: Chapter 1089: Old Man Spirit Manor, Spiritual Shadow Array

At this moment, the old man who was severely injured by Duanmu Chun said, “Chairman, I’m afraid our mole has long been exposed, so it’s Duanmu Chun’s plan all along. He must have sent masters to be around Sikong Jing.”

Upon hearing this, Pei Feishan immediately acknowledged it.

Then came an outburst of blame on Duanmu Chun’s insidiousness and cunning, outwardly honest and straightforward, but inwardly treacherous.

He also failed to realize that this was entirely due to Sikong Jing.

After cursing for a while, he suddenly looked at the Shi’an Assassin Group’s leader and said, “I have to find a way to capture Weng Ting. I remember you dispatched a few assassins near Old Man Spirit Manor?”

The Shi’an Leader nodded and replied, “Yes, but they’re just a few minor assassins at the Spiritual Movement Realm.”

The Spiritual Movement Realm is precisely the second stage of the Spirit Martial Stage.

“Chairman, these few assassins are not enough to take down Weng Ting, and even Zhang Duiyi siblings would be difficult to overpower.”

“The only ones possibly to be captured are Xiao Qibo, Hua Meixi, or the East Dominator Sky Wolf team members after arriving at Old Man Spirit Manor.”

“I just received their message, Weng Ting has set up a Spiritual Shadow Array around Old Man Spirit Manor, similar to the Soul Snatching Battle, intending to test the specific strength of her family’s five external aides.”

“I think we can have the assassins infiltrate the Spiritual Shadow Array and assassinate the five people.”

Hearing the Shi’an Leader’s words, Pei Feishan’s eyes gleamed coldly…

Finally, he looked up and responded, “Do as you said, have those assassins mix into the Spiritual Shadow Array disguised as spirits, and do not target Zhang Duiyi siblings and Xiao Qibo, focusing instead on Hua Meixi and Sikong Jing.”

“If we can’t capture Weng Ting, we’ll take Hua Meixi. I believe Yao Yulou will agree to exchange hostages.”

Upon understanding, the Shi’an Leader nodded heavily and immediately sent out messages.

Then, Pei Feishan had the Shi’an Leader accompany him as they left Hanluan City, heading towards Old Man Spirit Manor, naturally to respond to Duanmu Chun’s invitation, and Pei Fenyi was still in the latter’s hands!

…

Elsewhere, in the mountain forest outside Hanluan City, Yao Yulou waited for Duanmu Chun and saw the latter with a young woman.

However, Yao Yulou did not recognize her and asked, “Brother Duanmu, who is this woman?”

Hearing this, Duanmu Chun chuckled, “The more I think about Pei Feishan’s deeds, the less I can stand them, so I happened to go to Shiyu Commerce when I came and captured his niece Pei Fenyi.”

Then Duanmu Chun mentioned that Pei Fenyi was a hidden super genius within Shiyu Commerce, prepared to amaze everyone.

Capturing Pei Fenyi was to teach Pei Feishan a lesson and to give him a swollen face.

“Moreover, Sikong Jing’s participation in the Soul Snatching Battle was exposed, so I need a hostage to negotiate.”

Saying this, Duanmu Chun’s tone was chillingly sinister.

Once Yao Yulou nodded to indicate understanding, Duanmu Chun again looked at the bodies of two assassins…

“No wonder Brother Yulou settled two assassins so quickly, did Sikong Jing and Meixi join forces and head towards Old Man Spirit Manor?”

Duanmu Chun naturally assumed the two assassins were killed by Yao Yulou without closely examining them.

Regarding this, Yao Yulou paused slightly and said, “The two assassins weren’t killed by me. They were already dead when I arrived.”

Then, he relayed the situation, indicating he still hadn’t seen Sikong Jing…

Duanmu Chun was stunned upon hearing this, foolishly said, “Was it Sikong Jing who killed them? What kind of joke is this?”

In response, Yao Yulou replied with a wry smile, “Although incredible, it appears to be the truth.”

“Let’s go, Pei Feishan will certainly proceed to Old Man Spirit Manor for the negotiation, let’s wait there.”

Duanmu Chun twitched his lips, ultimately choosing not to dwell on it, deciding he’ll know upon seeing Sikong Jing.

Afterwards, the two flashed and arrived at Old Man Spirit Manor.

They are experts at the Emperor Martial Stage, their speed much faster than several young ones like Sikong Jing, but they did not immediately reveal themselves, instead observing the formations surrounding Old Man Spirit Manor…

At this moment, Yao Yulou lightly said, “Spiritual Shadow Array!”

Duanmu Chun replied, “Yes, Weng Ting had her family’s experts set it up to test the five external aides’ abilities and let them experience the feeling of the Soul Snatching Battle in advance…”

Upon hearing, Yao Yulou nodded, understanding Weng Ting’s intentions.

Just then, Yao Yulou’s eyes faintly caught sight of the Zhang Duiyi siblings arriving.

In an instant, a pair of men and women appeared outside the Spiritual Shadow Array, belonging to the East Dominator Branch’s fifth-grade War Body geniuses, the siblings’ realm peak at the Spiritual Battle Realm, naturally recognizable to Yao Yulou.

At this moment, Zhang Duiyi siblings landed, glancing puzzled at the Spiritual Shadow Array.

Next, an elderly man resembling a butler emerged from the Spiritual Shadow Array…

“Are you Young Master Zhang Duiyi and Miss Zhang Duiyin?”

“Our Miss Weng Ting said you might be interested in experiencing the feeling of the Soul Snatching Battle firsthand, so we arranged a small Spiritual Shadow Array. Would you be interested in playing?”

“If not, I can directly take you to Old Man Spirit Manor.”

After hearing the butler’s explanation, as the elder brother, Zhang Duiyi stepped forward…

“Of course, interested, we will show Junior Sister Weng our capabilities, though we are merely external aids, we might be leading when the time comes!” Zhang Duiyi smiled slightly, aware Weng Ting might be suspecting their talents.

Yet they didn’t mind; they are East Dominator Branch’s fifth-grade War Body geniuses, often competing against each other, they would show Weng Ting that her recent breakthrough to the Spirit Martial Stage is yet unequal to their sibling abilities.

As such, the Zhang family siblings stepped into the Spiritual Shadow Array.

Half a day later, Pei Feishan also arrived at Old Man Spirit Manor with the Shi’an Leader. They coolly confronted Duanmu Chun and Yao Yulou.

Just when Duanmu Chun wanted to speak, Pei Feishan suddenly waved and said, “No rush on the negotiation, this Spiritual Shadow Array interests me. I’ve become intrigued by your East Dominator Branch geniuses; let’s check it out before talking.”

Hearing this, Duanmu Chun and Yao Yulou exchanged puzzled glances, not knowing what Pei Feishan aimed to do.

Bear in mind, Pei Fenyi was still in Duanmu Chun’s hands; weren’t they anxious?

Before Duanmu Chun could respond, a shadow of an Iron Bone Flying Vulture emerged from the distance, growing ever larger, approaching the Spiritual Shadow Array at Old Man Spirit Manor, and of course, Sikong Jing was on it.

At this moment, Sikong Jing held a sword, slashing swiftly.

Then he paused, shaking his head, “Shiyu Commerce’s assassin swordsmanship is decent, but always seems lacking spirit; better find time to trade it at East Dominator Branch for some Domineering Crystals.”

His voice wasn’t loud, but Pei Feishan heard it, his face turning livid.

This East Dominator Sky Wolf brat is outright reckless, practicing with Shi’an Killer’s sword skills and scoffing at its lack of spirit.

Who the hell does he think he is?

Arrogantly considering trading it for Domineering Crystals, does this brat know he’s here, was Duanmu Chun informing this kid to deliberately say such things to embarrass me?

Beside him, the Shi’an Leader gnashed his teeth, for he had crafted the Shi’an Sword Skill himself.

Damn it, I must kill this brat who dares to scorn my sword skills.

Looking at their faces, Duanmu Chun found it amusing and asked, “Chairman Pei, what would be a reasonable amount of Domineering Crystals for killing two Spirit Martial Stage Peak assassins?”

This statement enraged Pei Feishan, turning his head full of murder intent.

Yet he hadn’t realized the meaning behind Duanmu Chun’s words, that it was Sikong Jing who singlehandedly killed two Spirit Martial Stage Peak assassins.

In Pei Feishan’s mind, he still believed it was Duanmu Chun’s doing.

Pei Feishan didn’t want to speak, but the Shi’an Leader coldly responded, “Dead, no amount of Domineering Crystals can be spent.”

Saying this, a deep cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

A few minor assassins at the Spiritual Movement Realm had already blended into the Spiritual Shadow Array, neither Duanmu Chun nor Yao Yulou have noticed yet.
