Could You Do This Old Man a Favor?

The Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor, gripping a red cleaver, Blade Flight, chasing after Song Shuhang.

His Blade Flight posture was rather peculiar. Unlike other cultivators who stepped on the sword light, he gripped the red cleaver tightly with both hands, his body dangling behind the blade, using Blade-Controlling Technique.

The red cleaver shot out with a 'whoosh,' and the Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor, gripping the cleaver, shot out like Blazing Fire.

This posture was developed by himself; it's the fastest Blade Flight posture. It perfectly conforms to aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, and a whole host of other theories.

As he chased after Song Shuhang, the Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor's lips curled up, and he murmured, "Sure enough, my senses were right. This kid has the same aura as that 'sword light'!"

This red-haired Spirit Emperor was a member of the group of cultivators who had been chasing the 'Soul-Eating Demon Gourd'. He had personally witnessed the old cultivator using the 'Mount Tai Seal' to trap Song Shuhang.

The moment the Sealing Method was cast, the Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor keenly sensed that Song Shuhang possessed an aura identical to that of the 'sword light'.

Is this boy connected to that 'sword light'?!

[Perhaps it wasn't by chance that the sword light circled around and encountered that boy. Rather, it's because the boy possesses some treasure that's connected to the sword light, which is why the sword light, carrying the Soul-Eating Demon Gourd, actively approached him!] The Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor speculated in his heart.

Perhaps, to seize that 'Soul-Eating Demon Gourd', we can start by targeting that young man!

So, the Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor quietly left the group of cultivators chasing the flying sword.

After wandering around for a while, he arrived at Song Shuhang's side and lifted the Mount Tai Sealing Technique on Song Shuhang.

He wanted to get the treasure from Song Shuhang that had the same aura as the 'sword light'.

"That guy is catching up. The Silver Dragon Puppet can't outrun him and will be overtaken soon." Song Shuhang glanced back.

Yu Jiaojiao: "Do you have any other special skills?"

"I have some Talisman Artifact, but they are all only of the Fourth-Grade," Song Shuhang said with a wry smile. Fourth-Grade Talisman Artifact are not very useful against Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor.

Yu Jiaojiao: "How about we surrender?"

"Haha." Behind him, the red-haired Spirit Emperor laughed heartily, and the distance between them closed considerably. Then, the red-haired Spirit Emperor flicked his finger, and two Saber Qi shot out from between his fingers.

Yu Jiaojiao quickly cast a spell to activate her shield. She had been building up her shield spell ever since she jumped onto the Silver Dragon Puppet.

Her shield blocked one of the Saber Qi.

Another Saber Qi slashed towards Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang gritted his teeth and drew his Overlord Shatter Saber.

<Reverse Scale Saber Technique> -- Dragon Scale Form!

As the blade was drawn, its Saber Qi transformed into True Dragon, coiling around and protecting Song Shuhang and his group.

At the same time, Song Shuhang coughed up blood. The Dragon Scale Blade Technique requires the manipulation of true energy to be used. However, he was currently on the verge of self-destruction, and his strike resulted in a backlash.

Sizzle!

The Dragon Scale Form and the Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor's Saber Qi collided.

With a single strike, the Dragon Scale Form was shattered by the Saber Qi.

The difference in strength between the two sides is too great; it cannot be bridged by 'sword skills'.

The Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor's Saber Qi, after shattering the 'Dragon Scale Form' defense, still had momentum and struck Song Shuhang.

At that moment, Shuhang's spacesuit emitted a dazzling defensive light.

A repulsive force defense was deployed.

The Saber Qi bounced off the spacesuit after striking it.

This is a defense set up by Fairy Flowing Firefly, mainly to prevent Song Shuhang from colliding with meteorites or something when he is launched into space.

This repulsive defense saved Song Shuhang from a fatal blow at a crucial moment.

"That saved me an Armor Talisman," Song Shuhang murmured.

"Ring ring~ Ring ring~" Just then, the phone rang.

Yu Jiaojiao: "Shuhang, there's a phone call."

"Who has time to answer the phone at a time like this?" Song Shuhang frantically urged the Silver Dragon Puppet to continue his escape, keeping an eye on the red-haired Spirit Emperor behind him out of the corner of his eye.

The chance of escaping from the other side is less than 10%.

The future looks bleak.

******************************

"This little guy has quite a few treasures." The Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor's lips curled up. The two Saber Qi he had just unleashed were only at the Fourth-Grade level. He didn't want to kill Song Shuhang; he needed to capture Song Shuhang alive.

Unexpectedly, his two 'Fourth-Grade Saber Qi' were blocked.

Normally, if he encountered such an interesting little guy, he wouldn't mind playing with him a little longer.

"But now, I have no time to play with you anymore." The Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor once again activated his slashing sword, increasing his Blade Flight speed threefold.

In the blink of an eye, he darted directly in front of Song Shuhang's Silver Dragon Puppet!

"You can't escape my grasp, little brat," the Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor roared, reaching out to grab him again.

To deal with Song Shuhang and the Fourth-Grade Yu Jiaojiao, the Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor didn't even need to use any Daoist techniques; he could simply grab them with his hand.

This time, Song Shuhang was no longer able to resist the Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor's massive hand, and was grabbed along with his puppet and space capsule.

They were captured.

This is actually the first time Song Shuhang has been captured by the enemy; it's quite a novel experience.

"Hehehe, I told you, you can't escape." The Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor grinned after grabbing Shuhang. Then, he reached out and summoned a spherical barrier artifact, trapping Song Shuhang inside.

There is air within the spherical magical artifact's barrier.

So, the phone rang from Song Shuhang's body. "Ring ring~~ Ring ring~~"

"Senior, why did you arrest me?" Song Shuhang calmed down and asked—since he was already arrested, he might as well take the opportunity to ask why the other party had arrested him.

It couldn't be that they just didn't like him and wanted to play with him, could it?

Song Shuhang wasn't worried about his safety—the improved version of the 'Myriad-Mile Escape Technique' from Venerable White was a strong guarantee of his safety.

The Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor chuckled strangely, "Heh heh, I need what's on you..."

"Ring ring~~ Ring ring~~" The ringing interrupted the Red-Haired Spirit Emperor's words.

The crimson-haired Spirit Emperor paused, then continued, "I need something from you. That is..."

"Ring ring~~ Ring ring~~"

Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor: "..."

"How about I take this call, senior?" Song Shuhang said, taking out his phone.

Caller ID number -- Senior Seven Cultivations.

It's Venerable Seven Cultivations.

Before entering the universe, Venerable Seven Cultivations had said that he would contact Song Shuhang at any time to explore the 'Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations'. He even gave Song Shuhang his phone number so that Song Shuhang could stay in touch.

I didn't expect them to call so soon.

"Hello, Senior Seven Cultivations." Song Shuhang answered the phone—he thought the Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor would make him hang up, but unexpectedly, he was allowed to answer?

A steady male voice came through the phone. "Young friend Shuhang, have you gone into space?"

"Yes, senior. Fairy Flowing Firefly sent me into the universe today," Song Shuhang replied.

The Venerable Seven Cultivations said, "Where are you now? Have you arrived on the moon yet? If you have, come find me. I'm at coordinates *** on the moon."

"Well, senior, it's probably not convenient right now. I've been captured," Song Shuhang replied.

Venerable Seven Cultivations: "..."

Venerable Seven Cultivations: "Who arrested you?"

"I don't know him. He's a Spirit Emperor. He has red hair, a red beard, and wears a red robe," Song Shuhang replied.

"I've never heard of such Spirit Emperor before." Venerable Seven Cultivations: "Young friend Shuhang, turn on speakerphone and let this old man have a chat with him."

"Okay, senior." Song Shuhang looked up at the red-haired Spirit Emperor, then switched the phone to speakerphone.

The voice of Venerable Seven Cultivations came through the phone. "Fellow Daoist, my Daoist name is Seven Cultivations. Has my young friend offended you in any way?"

Song Shuhang quickly replied, "I've never even met him, how could I possibly offend him?"

The Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor pondered for a moment, "This young man has indeed not offended me."

Venerable Seven Cultivations: "Since that's the case, fellow Daoist, could you do me the honor of releasing my young friend? If so, I can pretend this never happened."

"Pfft." The Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor sneered, "Who do you think you are? Why should I give you face?"

The Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor had been pondering for a long time, but couldn't recall any expert in the Cultivation World named 'Seven Cultivations'. How dare this complete unknown fellow put on airs in front of him?

Saying things like, "I can pretend this never happened," is just unpleasant to hear.

Moreover, even if the opponent is a senior figure in the Cultivator World, the Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor will not be afraid.

As long as he gets his hands on that Soul-Eating Demon Gourd, the universe is so vast, surely there's somewhere he can hide? He can find a place to hide for a hundred or two hundred years, and once his cultivation is complete and he advances to the Sixth-Grade True Lord, where in this world can't he go?

Song Shuhang chuckled and said, "Seven Cultivations, the other party said: What does your face matter? Why should he give you face?"

The Venerable Seven Cultivations coughed and said, "You don't recognize me?"

The Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor simply ignored the Venerable Seven Cultivations and said to Song Shuhang, "Little guy, hang up the phone."

Song Shuhang: "Goodbye, Senior Seven Cultivations."

Then, he obediently turned off the phone.

Then, Song Shuhang looked up again at the Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor. This time, a hint of pity appeared deep in Shuhang's eyes. This guy, had he offended the Venerable Seven Cultivations?

"Little one, I don't care about your background. But now, hand over that treasure," the Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor said in a deep voice.

Although he was not afraid of the other party's 'senior'.

But some troubles should be avoided if possible. The other party's 'predecessor' is on the moon, very close by, and may arrive soon.

Time is running out.

"What treasure?" Song Shuhang asked in confusion - he has a lot of treasures on his body, who knows what the other party wants?

"Stop playing dumb. Hand over the treasure that can attract the Soul-Eating Demon Gourd light, and I might spare your life," the Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor said coldly. He wasn't a bloodthirsty person, so if Song Shuhang cooperated with him, he could at most severely injure Song Shuhang.

As the Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor interrogated Song Shuhang, a sword light from a 'Disposable Flying Sword' seemed to be attracted from the depths of space and flew rapidly toward Song Shuhang's location.
