Chapter 793: You Save Me, I Save You.
Shi Lang and Allure stood facing each other and the Terran had a smirking expression on his face. The lady had just asked him about his idea of dealing with the predicament before them. Dealing with the remnant soul of the Alpha was not going to be easy. Imagine someone holding onto a grudge for five hundred years.
One thing was sure that his soul was now just a vengeful spirit and it would not give up easily. Shi Lang would have to think out of box for this one. He asked, "Senior, let us try this."
Allure nodded and Shi Lang waved his hand. The next moment a void tunnel appeared out of no where. The lady said, "Did you not here that I cannot step outside this array even if you have a void tunnel?"
Shi Lang smiled and said, "Senior, this tunnel is not a void tunnel but an entrance to a secret place. We can try this first as it would not do you much harm."
Allure raised her eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean by much harm? Human if you played any tricks on me, then you will have to deal with more than just the Spirit Beast Emperors."
Shi Lang waved his hand and said, "I know, do not worry. You can poke in your head first and then see if things work for you. If you are fine then go in. Then I will move out of the valley. If it did not work then we will use the second method."
Allure was skeptical but she still poked her head inside the void hole. When she found that nothing was wrong, she stepped through the portal and Shi Lang closed the void tunnel.
He did not bother telling her not to move around in the palace. If she offended any of those spirit remnants, then she would be on her own. Shi Lang took a deep breath and then decided to move forward to leave the valley.
He moved quickly and came to the entrance of the valley, and tried to move out. He was expecting some kind of resistance from the barrier, but nothing of that sort happened. Shi Lang moved out and wanted to open the portal once more when suddenly he sensed a strong baleful energy erupting behind him.
He kept moving forward until the baleful energy materialized into a spirit phantom of a man. Shi Lang felt a strong pressure descend on his body. He was frozen in his place unable to move ahead. He sighed and turned around to find a man glaring at him with cold red eyes.
He had a buffed up physique and his hair were flowing over his shoulder. The man had a rough vibe about him but it did not stop there. His red eyes were a sign of his vengefulness. Shi Lang asked, "Senior, may I be of any help to you?"
The phantom spat on the side and said, "Do not overestimate yourself human. Bring back Allure. I know that you have done something to her. Even if she is hidden from my senses. She will not be able to escape me."
Shi Lang smiled and shrugged his shoulder, as he replied, "I apologize, Senior, I do not understand what you are talking about."
The Phantom furrowed his brows and asked, "Do you think I will not notice if that woman is not inside the barrier? There is only one way for her to leave and that is without her soul."
Shi Lang raised his hand and asked, "Can you detect her soul on me? Or can you detect any strong spirit energy on my body? How do you think I would have sent out Allure from that array?"
The spirit phantom's expression changed, and he said, "Boy, do you think this banter will get you away from me? I have frozen you in your spot, would I not be able to kill you?"
Shi Lang smiled and said, "I have two reasons to believe that you will not kill me, senior."
The man was amused and he crossed his arms before him and remarked, "Let's hear it then."
The Terran smiled and said, "This barrier was created at your dying breath. I do not believe you have strength to attack me and then maintain the barrier. Your clan's people will not be coming over for the next decade or so to replenish the blood sacrifice. That's the first reason, second is that even if you kill me, you will not find Senior Allure."
The man was dazed by these words, he did not expect that this young man would have seen through his plan. However, he was not going to give up easily and said, "What if I trap you in there?"
Shi Lang watched the smirk on the corner of the man's mouth and said, "Sir, I could have ran away using the same trick that senior Allure used. Do you think if you could not stop her, you would be able to stop me?"
He was acting calm but his thoughts were all over the place. He was facing an Alpha, if he did not show that he was significantly dominant in this situation, he would end up died. Another thing was that he could not use the portal inside the Titan Mountain again. The reason was that the space manipulation would alert the Legendary Beasts.
Inside the barrier no spiritual consciousness could reach them, it was like an independent world. However, if he was to use the portal to leave, then to come back he would have to ask that eccentric fox senior for help. Who knew if she would stick to her word. Heck, he was not even sure of the lady had not taken off right after she appeared in the inheritance palace.
The man asked, "What can be done in this situation? What if I decide to give up my grudge with Allure and just kill you?"
That said, he revealed a killing intent that materialized behind him with a red fog. Shi Lang was shocked, he realized that his plan has backfired, this guy was a left over spirit and he was going to kill him no matter what. Shi Lang's forehead was covered with sweat.
He was cursing himself for the seal on his spiritual energy. If he had the energy then he could have at least put up a desperate struggle. He thought about using the Dao Laws, however, that would cause the Legendary Beasts to come after him even if he survived under the hands of this big guy.
Shi Lang watched the man transform into a werewolf and he was thinking what he could do when a calm voice sounded beside him, "Haven't you grown tired of this approach of yours, Clan Leader Soma."
Shi Lang turned his head and found Allure walking over from the side and she was looking as beautiful as ever. The Terran could sense that something was different about this woman in this moment, but he could not put his finger on it. Just when he was wondering if the lady just used her void tunnel she said, "Do not worry too much, I flew here. That is why I took so long."
Shi Lang nodded and the Werewolf phantom before him roared. Allure waved her hand to create a barrier around the mountain. She said, "We would not want anyone to hear you so loud, right?"
That said she made her way to the phantom very slowly. The alpha wolf said, "Fine, since you want to die, then I will satisfy you, whore!"
Shi Lang frowned and Allure's ever so charming face turned cold. She moved in a blink and said, "Soul Fire."
An ice blue ball of fire appeared hovering above her palm and then she shoved the ball of fire at the phantom. Shi Lang shivered, the ball of flames was so cold that the entire place around them was covered in a two inches thick layer of frost.
The ball of flames touched the spirit phantom. It caused the victim's soul to wail in agony but it did not kill him instantly. Shi Lang grew numb as he stood on the side watching this scene. In the end, the soul of the alpha wolf was reduced to the size of an inch.
Allure waved her hand and collected the soul inside a jade bottle. Shi Lang was perplexed as to why Allure did that. The legendary fox beast gazed at him and said, "It amuses me how you could be such a dummy."
Shi Lang furrowed and asked, "Excuse me, Senior. Could you please tell me what do you mean by this?"
Allure rolled her eyes and said, "That man caused me to be stuck in that circle for five hundred years. Do you think I would let him get away from me so easily? I am beautiful but I am not a saint."
Shi Lang was shocked but then he nodded in understanding. He turned his head in the direction of the ruins, and Allure said, "First you need to grow to the Immortal Emperor level. Otherwise, you would not be able to enter that place."
Shi Lang was stunned and asked, "Are you kidding?"
Allure shook her head and said, "Come, I will bring you over to see for yourself."
