Old man Duan also took action

At this moment, Shen Fan finally reacted; it turned out Old Duan had also made a move.

His action was, without a doubt, clearly because of the insult he had suffered earlier in the day.

"Old Duan!" Shen Fan felt a lump in his throat, and his eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"There's someone else?" Zhao Erhu looked to the side in surprise, his gaze meeting Shen Fan's.

In the darkness, he didn't recognize Shen Fan, but Shen Fan didn't hesitate at all, opening his qiankun bag and flicking it.

Two figures grew larger in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, after landing, they transformed into beast-like figures, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced towards Zhao Erhu.

"There's someone else to assist?" Zhao Erhu was greatly alarmed.

"Someone is coming…"

But before he could call out, he was tackled to the ground by the two Corpse Puppets Shen Fan had brought.

"Dragon Capturing Hand!"

Under Shen Fan's control, Jack-of-all-trades's hand fiercely plunged towards Zhao Erhu's chest.

This Dragon Capturing Hand, like a black tiger digging out a heart, carried a sharp whooshing sound as it fiercely pierced through Zhao Erhu's chest, pulling out his heart.

Zhao Erhu's Cultivation was only at the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Stage; although he was an Outer Sect Disciple, Jack-of-all-trades, who had been refined into a Corpse Puppet, was also at the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Stage.

He was instantly killed when surrounded by three Corpse Puppets.

"Wind Blade Technique!"

To be absolutely sure, Shen Fan once again controlled Brother Biao to cast the Wind Blade Technique; a sharp Wind Blade flashed like lightning, directly severing Zhao Erhu's head.

Watching the rolling head, Shen Fan immediately stored the two Corpse Puppets back into his qiankun bag. The incident happened in a flash.

Old Duan, who was beside him, was completely dumbfounded; by the time he reacted, Zhao Erhu's head had already fallen.

"Let's go!" Shen Fan pulled Old Duan and immediately ran outside.

Old Duan then reacted and quickly controlled his Corpse Puppet to follow and run out.

However, the commotion here had already woken up all the Utility Disciples at Spirit Field.

Spirit Field had more than just Zhao Erhu as a supervisor; there were also two other Outer Sect Disciples assisting.

As Shen Fan and Old Duan rushed out of the courtyard, they saw the other two Outer Sect Disciples from Spirit Field rushing over.

"You left, I right!" Shen Fan whispered, directly crushing the fire poison demon core he had prepared earlier.

In an instant, fire poison spiritual power filled his entire body, causing him to emit a scorching aura.

"Who's there?"

The two had only rushed over after hearing the commotion, so they didn't know what had happened inside.

Seeing someone rush out, they were completely unprepared for battle.

"Crimson flames as a guide, burn away all evil!"

Shen Fan uttered an incantation that only he could hear, casting the Flame Snake Technique.

"Boom—!"

A fire snake roared out, like a fire Dragon howling through the dark night, illuminating the entire Spirit Field.

At this moment, all the Disciples who had rushed to Spirit Field saw it clearly.

"Fifth-tier Spell, Fire Dragon Spell!!"

The two Outer Sect Disciples who had rushed over instantly widened their eyes, their faces filled with terror.

But before they could react, the person directly facing Shen Fan was swallowed by the fire snake.

The Flame Snake Technique, enhanced by the fire poison demon core, exploded directly in front of the opponent; its power was unimaginable, and the person was instantly charred black.

On the other side, Old Duan's hands moved rapidly, controlling his Corpse Puppet, which leaped out from behind him and landed directly on the person's head.

Then it opened its wide mouth, lifted the skull cap, and sucked out the brain matter, a scene of extreme gore.

After easily dealing with the two, Shen Fan and Old Duan looked at the dazed Utility Disciples who were rushing over, bypassed them directly, and quickly headed down the mountain, disappearing into the vast night.

"Catch this!"

On the way down the mountain, Shen Fan had already planned a backup strategy to deal with unexpected situations.

His gaze sharpened, and he unhesitatingly threw his qiankun bag towards Old Duan.

Originally, his plan was to quietly return along the original path after killing Zhao Erhu.

At that time, he would only need to hide the qiankun bag in a hidden place, and even if someone had doubts, with his current strength, others would never be able to trace it back to him.

However, things were unpredictable, and the current situation no longer allowed him to proceed according to his original plan.

During the day, his conflict with Zhao Erhu had caused a huge commotion.

Now, three Outer Sect Disciples lay dead on the spot, including a supervisor from Miscellaneous Service Peak.

This incident was bound to cause a huge uproar within the Tianxuan Sect.

Once the Law Enforcement Hall intervened in the investigation, the traces of the Corpse Puppet's actions would surely be exposed.

At that time, once the news of the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect's invasion spread, the Inner Sect would surely be shaken.

And the conflict between him and Zhao Erhu would undoubtedly become the primary object of suspicion.

Once the investigation began, even if he hid the qiankun bag in the storage room, it would be difficult to ensure it wouldn't be discovered.

Thinking of this, Shen Fan steeled his heart; the only way now was to throw everything in the qiankun bag to Old Duan.

As a Disciple of Spirit Field, Old Duan would surely be thoroughly investigated along with all other Utility Disciples after this incident.

And Old Duan Cultivated the Nine Netherworld Corpse Refining Art and hid a Corpse Puppet under his bed; once this was exposed, he would certainly not be able to escape responsibility.

"Child, Spirit Field is no longer a place to stay long; come with me!"

Old Duan took the qiankun bag with a puzzled expression, advising him earnestly.

"Old Duan, I can't leave yet."

Shen Fan took a deep breath and slowly said, "This is Jack-of-all-trades's qiankun bag; it contains the bodies of Jack-of-all-trades and another person, whom I have refined into Puppets. Besides that, there are hundreds of Spirit Stones, spirit rice, demonic cores, as well as Cultivation Techniques and Spells left by Jack-of-all-trades."

The strong wind whistled past their ears, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived at the fork in the road at the foot of the mountain.

"Old Duan, take these things and leave quickly. It's my fault; I lied to you before, but I didn't expect you to stand up for me. Old man, go far away; with these things, you should be able to escape this calamity!"

Saying that, Shen Fan pointed his sword finger at the qiankun bag, instantly erasing the Divine Sense imprint on it.

Then, he bowed deeply to Old Duan.

"My great revenge is not yet avenged; how can I just leave!"

"If fate allows, we shall meet again in the Jianghu!"

At this moment, a relieved smile appeared on Old Duan's face.

In the dark night, Shen Fan did not see the tears welling up in his eyes.

"Kid, this parting, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet again. I Cultivate the Corpse Refining Technique and plan to join the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect. Next time we meet, I'm afraid we'll be on opposing sides," Old Duan said with emotion.

Shen Fan heard this and laughed, "Don't worry, even so, I won't lay a hand on you. Besides, you're no match for me at all!"

"Indeed!"

Old Duan sighed, "You little rascal, you've kept me in the dark for so long. That fire Spell of yours is truly formidable!"

Saying that, he gave a thumbs up.

"This place is not suitable for long stays! Old Duan, take care!"

After Shen Fan finished speaking, he resolutely turned and left.

He had to return to the Waste Pill Room as soon as possible, because he was the primary suspect in this incident, and if he didn't return in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Wait a moment!" Old Duan suddenly called out to Shen Fan.

"Kid, can you call me Grandpa?"

"Get lost, trying to take advantage of me!" Shen Fan cursed with a smile.

"Haha!" Old Duan chuckled and said nothing more.

Shen Fan turned to leave, but after only a few steps, he suddenly turned back.

Then, he knelt on both knees before Old Duan and said solemnly, "Grandpa Duan! If both of us can safely get through this calamity, then in the future, I will take care of you in your old age!"

Saying that, Shen Fan bowed three times to Old Duan, knocking his head loudly on the ground.

Then, he immediately got up and disappeared into the vast night.

"Haha… Haha…"

In the dark night, Old Duan let out a crazed laugh, his figure gradually fading into the distance.
