Chapter 76: The Old Man Intends to Slaughter the City Today!

Yu Chunlan panicked immediately.

This was the first Waterloo she had encountered in her life.

The Jade Pendant.

The small world contained within it was her only trump card.

And the most important one! Ever since Yu Chunlan had dripped her blood to bind the Jade Pendant to herself, the pendant had hidden its form; no one could see it except for her.

The Tianxuan Continent is fraught with crises.

When out training, if she encountered an enemy she could not defeat or a crisis she could not face, Yu Chunlan would shake her body and hide, slipping into the Jade Pendant to evade everything.

This was also her only source of confidence.

But now, this confidence was no longer unique.

Yu Chunlan was panicked to the point of collapse.

How on earth was Lu Ren able to discover her Jade Pendant!?

Yu Chunlan's gaze fell upon the hand Lu Ren was using to hook her Jade Pendant, and a string in her brain snapped violently.

She trembled with her lips and teeth, not even caring that she might expose herself, and screamed frantically in her heart.

【Get in! I want to enter the space!!】

Swish.

Yu Chunlan's entire person vanished directly from where she stood.

As if she had never appeared at all.

Dantai Jingcheng could not help but shrink his pupils.

He had always known that Lu Ren was very strong, and he had always avoided coming head-on against Lu Ren.

But man proposes, and Heaven disposes.

Not only had he come up against Lu Ren, but he had also been captured.

Dantai Jingcheng felt even more remorseful in his heart.

Yu Chunlan was able to vanish into thin air right under Lu Ren's nose; she actually possessed a treasure that even a Saint Realm powerhouse like Lu Ren could not block.

If he had known earlier, he would have seized the treasure on her as soon as possible.

Regret.

Regret not acting sooner!

But Dantai Jingcheng had always been a person with good judgment.

Now that Qin Yuan had run away and Yu Chunlan had disappeared, only he remained.

Dantai Jingcheng's mind went into an emergency storm.

Was there anything on him that could move Lu Ren?

However... he was not the "biological son" type of protagonist like Qin Yuan; Dantai Jingcheng could at most be considered an adopted son.

Therefore, he simply did not have that many treasures.

It was not that he had none, but those were the things closest to his heart, or even his life-bound items.

It was absolutely impossible for Dantai Jingcheng to hand them over.

He could only...

"You cannot touch me!"

Dantai Jingcheng spoke with sonorous force.

His eyes stared straight at Lu Ren.

"If you touch me, you will definitely be retaliated against by the forces behind me. I am different from them; I am not a rogue cultivator fighting alone."

"The strength of my Dantai Family's ancestor is already approaching the Emperor Realm."

"Even if you are not afraid, it is not good to gain a powerful enemy for no reason. If you let me go, I can swear to the Heavenly Dao that I will never speak of today's events."

Dantai Jingcheng spoke with extreme sincerity.

But what the truth was, only he himself knew.

However, what he said was indeed true.

Ever since he transmigrated to this world, he had been a good-for-nothing who could not sense Qi, but fortunately, through Technology Cultivation, he successfully stabilized his status in the family step by step.

And because of the Spirit-Compatible Creations based on the technology he researched, the Dantai Family had also stepped up to become one of the top-tier families in the Tianxuan Continent.

If he died here, the Dantai Family's ancestor would surely be furious.

Therefore, Dantai Jingcheng was not at all worried about his own life or death.

But he also kept an ace up his sleeve, not revealing his own importance.

Yet Lu Ren's reaction was different from any he had imagined.

He merely raised his eyebrows faintly.

"Ancestor?"

"The number of ancestors I have killed is as numerous as the hairs on an ox; your Dantai Family is not missing one." The moment Lu Ren's voice fell, the Red Lantern floating to the side swayed over according to his will.

The Immortal Binding Rope tied around Dantai Jingcheng tightened and extended, and Lu Ren directly hauled the person onto Chaos.

Dantai Jingcheng could only hunch his body like a large shrimp, being ridden by Chaos, dragged by the rope at his waist, and floating toward the direction of the Lu Family.

Looking from afar...

He looked like Chaos's mount! Such a great humiliation caused Dantai Jingcheng's face to flush red.

But he had no way out.

The Immortal Binding Rope was definitely not something an ordinary person could break free from.

This thought flashed through Dantai Jingcheng's mind, and he did not take it to heart.

Naturally, he had no way to ponder how Qin Yuan had managed to break free, or whether someone had helped him in secret.

Chaos rode Dantai Jingcheng as they drifted away, and Lu Ren waved his hand casually.

The Lu Family Shadow Guard emerged from the shadows, kneeling silently at his feet.

Lu Ren said, "Bring men to surround this place; if anyone appears, show no mercy, as long as they still have a breath left, it is fine."

"I want to see the person if they are alive, and their corpse if they are dead."

The Shadow Guard remained silent, their figure once again merging into the shadow behind Lu Ren.

Lu Ren was in an excellent mood, his lips curling slightly.

Yu Chunlan hiding inside and Qin Yuan escaping were both things he had helped with in secret.

If not for his will, with the mere amateur skills those two possessed, they would never have been able to break free from the power of the Immortal Binding Rope.

Now that Yu Chunlan has hidden inside the space, how long can she hide for?

One year? Ten years?

Or a hundred years?

A space that is self-contained and perhaps even carries the aura of laws—Lu Ren has the time to wear Yu Chunlan down.

She can hide inside for as long as she likes.

Lu Ren had long since viewed the space as something already in his pocket.

……

……

Chunfeng City, not far from Wanren City.

An old man in a hurry had a gloomy expression.

He wore a dusty robe and looked completely unremarkable, like an ordinary old man, yet Chunfeng City was like the mortal world, filled with high-ranking officials and noblemen.

The old man carried a bundle on his back and walked in the middle of the road, but suddenly, the sound of galloping hooves came from behind him, as urgent as a drumbeat.

Even though they were already close to him, the sound of the hooves did not stop.

Instead, there were arrogant shouts.

"You old thing in front, get out of the way for this young master, or I will make you a ghost under my horse!"

A neighing sound from the horse rang out, and its speed did not decrease.

The wealthy young master in fine clothes held a horse whip in his hand and was just about to swing it down to whip the gray-robed old man until his skin split and flesh tore, but he did not expect the person to disappear right under his whip.

Before he could even react, his neck was suddenly grabbed by a withered, large hand, which yanked him off the horse's back.

The gloomy face loomed large before him, and an overwhelming aura pressed down; even a pig-brained person would know they had provoked someone extraordinary.

The wealthy young master's body suddenly began to tremble violently, and he nearly wet himself in fear.

He cried out repeatedly, "Don't, don't, don't kill me, my father is the City Lord!"

But it would have been better if he hadn't said that.

The old man, who had originally loosened his grip on the neck slightly, clamped his fingers onto the neck again like an eagle's claw.

He suddenly let out a low laugh, his face ferocious and gloomy.

"City Lord?"

"The person this old man is killing is precisely the City Lord!"

"The City Lord of Chunfeng City having a son as stupid as a pig, he must not be a very smart person himself."

*Snap. *

The old man discarded the twisted neck in his hand, looked at the people around him with terrified expressions, his face becoming even more unpredictable, and said slowly, "This old man is in a bad mood today; Chunfeng City has committed a taboo—leave the city within three sticks of incense!"

"This old man is going to slaughter the city today!"

His sleeves fluttered, and just below the corner of his robe, a small family crest was revealed.

"Mo".
