In the end, Gu Haitang hesitated a bit, but eventually let out a long sigh.
She released Chu Xuan’s hand, "Forget it, I was just impulsive earlier, I’m not using this to threaten you."
"You go, I just hope you won’t forget , and rember to co back after you leave."
"I’m really worried that after you leave, you will elope with Qingqing and wander the world, never rembering there is still soone like ."
"Absolutely not!" Chu Xuan responded in a firm and powerful tone.
He bowed his head and kissed Haitang’s forehead, "Wait for , I swear, no matter the final result, I will definitely co back to see you."
Gu Haitang finally smiled again, "Then you must go and co back quickly, don’t forget that there are many people who like too. If you co back in ten or eight years, maybe I’ll be married to soone else."
Chu Xuan promised once more, then left without looking back by controlling his sword.
Watching his distant silhouette, Gu Haitang felt a bit lancholic, but she didn’t stay in place wallowing in self-pity, there were still many things waiting for her to do.
First of all, she needed to inform the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace about Chu Xuan’s whereabouts so that they could offer support or rescue afterward.
Then, Haitang secretly decided that she still needed to prepare for the arranged marriage.
What if Chu Xuan changes his mind when he returns? I must maximize the external environnt to be as favorable as possible, so that when the ti cos, I can seize the opportunity firmly.
Needless to say, I have to go back to the family once, I must clear Chu Xuan’s suspicion, let the family completely change their view of him, even hold him in higher regard, so the two of them can have a beautiful future.
...
On the other side, Chu Xuan chased in the direction leading away from the Li’an Demon Sect, while retrieving the Six Souls Banner, dividing his focus to probe his Divine Sense into the banner.
He wasn’t foolish, he knew clearly that relying solely on himself, it was almost impossible to rescue Qingqing.
Even with the Six Souls Banner added, it was the sa, as his current strength was limited and unable to unleash the treasure’s full power.
But going back to ask the sect for help, not to ntion why the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace would rush to snatch the Saintess of the Li’an Demon Sect for a disciple, even if they agreed, it wouldn’t be imdiate, it must be planned for the long term.
Moreover, Chu Xuan always felt that the sect had been kind to him, especially his master, Floating Cloud, he didn’t want to drag the entire sect down for personal gain.
If so, then one must find another way, and coincidentally Chu Xuan captured an old ghost in a secret realm, whose strength was comparable to the Master of the Ghost Market at the seventh stage.
This guy was unfortunate, happened to be restrained by the Six Souls Banner, and embodying the gambler’s nature of greed, that’s how he ended up falling.
You see how cautious the Master of Ghost Street is, also restrained by the sky, why is he enjoying a cup of tea at ho while you got caught?
Actually, Chu Xuan didn’t know that the adult wasn’t having tea right now.
He was busy receiving and annexing the inheritance from the Ghost Market over there, anwhile guessing in the shadows that the dead old ghost probably suffered at Chu Xuan’s hands...
Back to the main topic, Chu Xuan’s idea was simple, to threaten and entice the old ghost to take action.
Moreover, to be safe, Chu Xuan wouldn’t release the old ghost, letting it act within the banner’s confines was enough.
Although doing so lost flexibility and weakened combat power, Chu Xuan fully controlled the initiative himself.
Inside the Six Souls Banner, the old ghost still shrunk into a mass of black smoke form, suppressed deep within the banner, motionless.
Chu Xuan’s voice rang out like a god’s, "Old ghost, I won’t waste words with you, today you must open the storage ring for ."
He didn’t initially reveal his aims, but spoke of other things first.
The mass of black smoke, under Chu Xuan’s imposing might, trembled slightly but continued playing dead.
Chu Xuan was prepared, "Do you really think I can’t bear to kill you?"
As the words fell, specks of faint green luminescence began to gather inside the banner, surrounding the black smoke and enveloping it.
Regarding the Hot Iron Wheel obtained from the Eight Hot Hells, Chu Xuan had already tried.
Whether because its power was insufficient or the dead old ghost was indeed resilient, it wouldn’t make a sound no matter how it was ground or burned; in the end, the Six Souls Banner was the only effective asure.
Seeing the faint green luminescence really begin to refine his form bit by bit, feeling the threat of death, the Master of the Ghost Market finally spoke for the first ti since being captured.
Still, that hoarse, aged voice: "Though I don’t know where you acquired this supre treasure of the ghost path, I can perceive it possesses a unique suppression and control over ghostkind."
"If you just refine into a pill, consuming it won’t enhance your cultivation, don’t you think it’s wasteful?"
Chu Xuan’s heart rejoiced, it finally spoke, speaking showed it feared, and fear ant room for negotiation.
Yet outwardly, he remained indifferent, "Even such a trivial matter as opening the storage ring, you’re unwilling to do, what good is keeping you around?"
The old ghost dodged the topic, "Allowing to continue living will yield you greater benefits in the future."
Chu Xuan was unimpressed, "I don’t fear telling you the truth, when I reach the sixth stage, I’ll be able to command you at will, and by then, your refusal will be futile."
"But that takes too long, I’ve just entered the Golden Core Stage, who knows in what year or month I will reach the Divinity Transformation Stage."
"If I perish midway, perhaps you could even turn the tables and take control."
