My talisman pen is omnipotent. How should you deal with it?

Chu Ci sat quietly in the teahouse for nearly an hour, his eyes slightly closed. He seemed to be immersed in the fragrance of tea, but in fact he was listening to everything in all directions with his mind highly concentrated.

The laughter of the people around him, the hustle and bustle of the streets, and even the sound of the swords of the monks flying in the wind in the distance, all reached his ears clearly.

After careful screening, he did not find anyone suspicious.

After making sure there was nothing unusual, Chu Ci decided to get up and leave.

It was almost noon and the streets were bustling with people coming and going.

Many cultivators also chose to leave Lingxi City at this time and fly outside the city to practice or perform missions. Chu Ci felt that now was a good time to leave, as there were many people around and it would be difficult to be noticed.

He paid the spirit stone and left the teahouse silently. Not far away was a huge square called "Liuhetai". It was very wide and most monks would choose to take off from here and fly to various places outside the city.

Chu Ci mixed into the crowd and, together with other cultivators, took off from Liuhe Terrace and flew towards the distance.

After flying for about four thousand miles, Chu Ci landed in a dense forest.

He did not go directly to where Peng Qi was, but chose the opposite direction.

As it was difficult to determine whether someone was secretly following him, he decided to hide in the woods temporarily and wait for a while. If no one caught up with him, he would go and meet Peng Qi.

Half an hour later, Chu Ci's eyes, which had been slightly closed, suddenly opened, and he felt a fluctuation of spiritual power appearing at the edge of his consciousness.

Sure enough, someone came, and there were two of them.

The other party must have used some special means that made me unaware.

Chu Ci carefully sensed the other party's speed. He judged that these two people were at least cultivators in the late stage of foundation building or the perfect stage of foundation building.

The other party was not a master in the Jindan stage, which made Chu Ci feel much more at ease.

Just as Chu Ci was preparing to respond, his consciousness suddenly caught a glimpse of something strange. The other party was not two people, but to be exact, one person and one beast. Like himself, the person who came also had a flying spirit beast.

At this moment, the opponent's attack came whistling. A stream of green spiritual energy as thick as a water tank cut through the sky and headed straight for where Chu Ci was.

Chu Ci moved and turned into a stream of light, cleverly avoiding the attack.

His body was suspended in mid-air, his eyes as sharp as lightning, staring straight at the other person.

The person who came was a thin and dry old man, who was in the late stage of foundation building, with a head of unkempt hair and eyes that flashed with cunning light. He was sitting on a green dragon-shaped spirit beast, which was five meters long, with eyes like lamps, emitting a powerful aura.

The skinny old man looked Chu Ci up and down, suddenly grinned, revealing two rows of yellow and black teeth, and let out a strange laugh.

“Hehehe, I never thought that a mid-stage cultivator like you would have such a talent. You could actually see that I was coming and wait for me here.”

The skinny old man's voice was shrill and harsh, as if it was squeezed out from the depths of his throat.

It seemed that the other party thought he had discovered his tracking.

Chu Ci did not explain, but also looked at the other person carefully.

Seeing Chu Ci's silence, the skinny old man mistakenly thought that Chu Ci had been intimidated by his aura, and couldn't help but laugh smugly:

"Hehehe, why is Brother Tiger silent?"

Chu Ci narrowed his eyes, revealing a sharp look. He instantly understood that the other party was a cultivator in the Ghost Market, and he must have used a tracking technique on him in the Ghost Market.

No wonder he looked so unfamiliar to him. If he were on the street, based on the old man's appearance, he would definitely be able to remember him at a glance as long as he got close to him and performed his secret technique.

Only in a place like the Ghost Market, where everyone wears a mask, can one escape Chu Ci's Golden Eyes Technique.

However, the other party's cultivation was not good enough in front of him. He sneered and said:

"If you want to take action, please start now. Don't waste my time."

As soon as these words came out, the skinny old man's originally evil smile suddenly turned cold. He snorted from his nose, and his voice revealed a strong anger:

"Hmph! You little bastard, you don't know how powerful your ancestor is. Let me tell you, I don't need to do anything, my spirit beast can tear you to pieces."

As he finished speaking, he tapped a green spirit beast bag on his waist. A green light flashed, and a strange mantis with a body more than three feet long and four eyes appeared out of thin air.

Its eyes were ferocious, as if it regarded Chu Ci as food and couldn't wait to tear it into pieces.

Chu Ci then carefully observed the skinny old man and found that he had no less than ten spirit beast bags tied around his waist, each of which was of a different color.

It seems that this is a monk who specializes in raising spiritual beasts.

This four-eyed mantis was only a level three monster, so Chu Ci didn't take it seriously. For him, killing this mantis was just a matter of waving his hand.

However, it seems a bit of a waste to kill them directly. It would be a good opportunity to train the few spirit beasts in my hands.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci patted his spirit beast bag and imitated the old man's tone and said:

"Hmph, you old bastard, it seems you don't know how powerful your young master is. I won't make a move either, let's see which one is more powerful, your spirit beast or mine."

As he spoke, a huge blood-sucking spider crawled out of Chu Ci's spirit beast bag.

Its appearance immediately surprised the skinny old man. He obviously didn't expect that the other party also had a spirit beast.

As soon as the blood-eating spider appeared, it immediately displayed a powerful momentum. Its two inky black eyes stared closely at the four-eyed mantis opposite, as if it had sensed the threat from the other party.

The four hairy chelicerae stand in front and back, in an obvious attack posture.

The four-eyed mantis on the opposite side was also frightened by the blood-sucking spider's momentum. It suddenly stood up, with its two sharp serrated forearms hooked in front of its body, taking a defensive posture.

The skinny old man saw this and moved his mouth slightly, as if he was giving some kind of command to the mantis. After hearing this, the four-eyed mantis moved its four eyes, as if it understood its master's intention, and it suddenly jumped up and pounced on the blood-eating spider.

In a blink of an eye, the four-eyed mantis rushed in front of the blood-eating spider. However, the blood-eating spider did not move at all, and seemed to be confident.

Just as the mantis's sharp claws were about to pierce the spider's head, the big spider suddenly leaned forward slightly.

Although the spider's body speed was not fast, its attack speed was extremely fast. This time, it struck first and before the mantis could react, its two forelimbs had already hit the mantis's chest.

The sudden heavy blow sent the mantis flying. With a loud bang, it was thrown more than ten feet away before it barely stopped.

The attack was so fast that even Chu Ci could not see it clearly. But he knew that his spirit beast had gained the upper hand.

The mantis seemed to be irritated and let out a hissing sound from the depths of its throat. Four rays of light suddenly shot out from its four eyes, shooting straight at the blood-eating spider.
