Chen Fei stared straight at the withered shadow. The Night Demon War Soldier appeared behind him once more, then charged toward the Ancient City.
Using the Night Demon War Soldier in Chen Fei's place was indeed effective. Chen Fei had failed to escape the Ancient City's lock-on earlier because there had been a black spot on his soul barrier.
It was precisely that black spot that allowed the Ancient City's rules to continue hunting Chen Fei, leading to what had just happened.
Now that Chen Fei had fully confirmed that the black spot on his soul had been severed away, he only needed to keep using the Night Demon War Soldier in his stead to completely escape the Ancient City's lock-on.
Chen Fei also informed Zhu Shiyu within the Void Return Realm to remove the abnormality from his own soul.
Due to the shielding of the Space Grid, the Ancient City's contamination in Zhu Shiyu's soul was in a sluggish state. Now, clearing away that sluggish contamination did not require Zhu Shiyu to forcibly sever his own soul as Chen Fei had done.
The Night Demon War Soldier's strength had not yet recovered to the Realm Lord Realm, but even with only ninth-rank cultivation, it was enough to replace Chen Fei.
As the withered shadow within the Ancient City absorbed the Night Demon War Soldier, the Ancient City's suppression of Chen Fei vanished once again. Chen Fei rushed out without the slightest hesitation.
Chen Fei continuously observed the situation within his soul barrier. After confirming that there were no problems with it, his soul also began recovering rapidly under the activation of the Panel Backup.
Thus, Chen Fei avoided a deadly crisis where the slightest carelessness could have resulted in his death and the dissipation of his Dao.
