Chapter 120: Dark Summoner

  Dee Penson motioned him to stop, and bowed his head towards Jack: "So the bandits have been wiped out, what great news! But I wonder if the bandit leader has been caught?"

  Jack knew what Des Panson meant, and Jack didn't want Jiuhua City to suffer from war. Even if they were besieged by the enemy, it was best not to fight if possible. He said: "The leader has not been caught yet, only knowing that they are still escaping, but the commander-in-chief has ordered someone to intercept and kill them. If you want to seize military merit, you should hurry up and catch the leader! Instead of staying in Jiuhua City!"

  It was said that their eldest brother was not among these people, so Di S Pansong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately cupped his hands and smiled: "The evil leader has made great contributions to the elimination of bandits. Can we ask him to come out and let this deputy commander of the army express his congratulations in person?"

  "Hahahaha!" Jack burst out laughing: "Joke! What qualifications do you have? Want our great leader to come out in person? Humph! Come on, open the city gate!"

  Jack's long gun pointed straight at Des Penson: "The city gate is open, if you want to congratulate, enter the city and pay homage to our great lord!"

  Do you dare to enter?

  "Second brother, the city gate is open, we can take them down in no time!" Lundesman Panssen whispered to Dais Panssen.

  Dees Panson, however, narrowed his eyes and hesitated!

  "Jie Ke saw that he didn't make a sound, and coldly shouted: "Di Si Pan Sen! Now the city gate is open, but you don't enter, instead gathering 800,000 troops outside my Jiu Hua City, what are your intentions? Are you thinking of rebelling?"

  Jack's voice was like thunder, and it shook Dais Panson's heart!

  Dees Panson finally made a decision and waved his hand: "Withdraw!"

  "Second Brother!" Lundesgaard Panser exclaimed urgently.

  "Can't confirm if Li Xie is dead, we can't attack rashly! If Li Xie isn't dead, attacking Huahua City would be rebellion no matter the excuse! Mercedes VII will have to take action against us even if he still fears our Pan Sen family! We're not at odds with him yet! Moreover, taking down Huahua City doesn't mean we can kill those three - a 9th rank summoner and two 10th rank sword saints! Unless we can kill them, it's trouble for our family too... Who knew Li Xie had so many strong allies? Maybe we should change our strategy against him..."

  "What should we do then?"

  "Go back first and find Big Brother quickly. Also, report the situation of Chrysanthemum City to Third Brother and Right Minister, they should think about their relationship with Li Xie."

  Longde Sheng Pansen let out a disappointed sigh and didn't say anything else.

  Dees Pansun said no more and waved his hand for the Cheetah Troop to withdraw.

  As he watched them slowly leave, Jack finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he had never been confident about defending Chrysanthemum City.

  However, Jack still had one concern, and that was Li Xie.

  Li Xie, if he doesn't show up for a long time, is afraid that the Sunflower City's Cheetah Legion will find another excuse to attack the city. Next time, can it be peacefully resolved without any surprises?

  "Jack looked up at the sky: 'Sir, since you have nothing to do, why haven't you come back yet?'"

  Where is Li Xie?

  A dimly lit staircase with a sixty-degree incline stretched for several hundred meters, connecting to a spacious cave that was roughly the size of a football field. The walls surrounding the cave were adorned with numerous iron fixtures shaped like skulls, and the eyes of the skulls had blue flames burning continuously, which served as some sort of magical lamp.

  The magic lamp illuminated the cave with a blue glow, which was neither dazzling nor very bright, but slightly eerie.

  The cave is surrounded by many instruments, unknown for what purpose, and in the middle of the cave there is a three-meter-long, two-meter-wide pool made of jade stone, but it's not clear water inside, instead it's full of and constantly rolling red **.

  In front of this pool, there is a square platform three meters long. The platform has a skull-shaped chair stacked on it, and the surface of the platform is drawn with mysterious patterns made of crystal powder, which seems to be a magic array. And this platform looks like an altar.

  In front of the altar, there are several long tables and a few wooden racks in the shape of the character "wood".

  One of the wooden frames had Li Xie locked up with his limbs tied and hung above.

  A man with a black cloak and a hunched back stood in front of Li Xie.

  Why did Li Xie appear in this place?

  At that time, Li Xie was caught in the web of Bu Tian, and fell from a high altitude. Although there were trees to buffer him, he was still severely injured, and his hands were tied up by the web, unable to use the sharp blade to cut it open. For a moment, he thought he had reached the end of his life.

  Just then, the man in black cloak suddenly appeared and quickly dragged him away. As the Kyroff airship was landing in the sky, Li Xie had already been dragged into the vast desert of Kanris by this person.

  Yes, this cave is indeed located under the vast desert of Karez! On the endless dunes above, probably no one can find that there is such a cave under the desert!

  "Who are you? What do you want from me?" Li Xie felt like he had jumped out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's lair, everything was going wrong.

  The strange person in front of him was emitting a gloomy and cold aura that made Li Ye feel very uncomfortable.

  "Tell me, what is your race?" The voice of the black-cloaked man was hoarse, like an old man in his twilight years shouting with all his might.

  "Human tribe." Li Xie was somewhat perplexed, but he wasn't very worried. Although his limbs were locked in iron chains and his palms and ankles were nailed to a wooden board, these couldn't stop a green-eyed vampire from escaping.

  There was only one thing that made Li Xie very curious, he used his blood to super-sense the person's blood energy, wanting to determine the person's strength, but saw that the person's blood energy had only 1,000 points.

  A thousand points of blood energy, and yet this person is just an ordinary person. But when he brought Li Xie here, his speed was almost as fast as a thunderbolt warhorse. This made Li Xie certain that this person had some real power. As for why his blood energy was so low, Li Xie only felt puzzled. But puzzlement aside, he couldn't determine this person's true strength, and Li Xie didn't dare make any rash moves for the time being.

  "Humans? Hahahaha..." The man in the black cloak laughed loudly: "Humans? Do you think I'm a fool? Humans grow strange wings? Humans can withstand so many injuries without bleeding? Humans have such terrifying regenerative power? Humans, heh heh! I've lived for two thousand years, it's not something that can be deceived by just a few words. I'm very curious about you, such good material, I don't want to waste it. Tell me the truth, and I won't kill you."

  Two thousand years?

  Is this Warcraft?

  Li Xie coldly smiled and said: "To tell the truth, shouldn't you also let me know who I'm telling the truth to? What kind of person are you? Or what kind of demon beast?"

  Now, Li Xie has some understanding of the Gods' Continent. The maximum lifespan of humans on the Gods' Continent is 500 years, which is the highest limit that a summoner with a Benming Beast can achieve. Because when the human body reaches 500 years old, it will weaken to the point where it cannot provide vitality, and even if there is still life, it will die due to physical exhaustion.

  But can live for two thousand years, there are only magical beasts! Or, reaching the twelfth rank, it can no longer be considered a demigod of human origin!

  There are only a few demigods in this world, Li Xie doesn't believe that this person is a demigod, so, this guy must be a demon beast!

  But if he knew what kind of demon beast it was, Li Xie might be able to tell how strong it was and whether he could escape immediately.

  The man in the black cloak chuckled and shook his head, saying: "You think I'm a demon? Ha ha, normal! However, I am not a demon, my name is Robert, a name you may not have heard of. Another name, you should have heard of! Dark Apostle Robert!"

  "Dark Apostle? What's that?" Li Xie expressed his confusion.

  Robert was taken aback, then shook his head and sighed: "It's been too long, it seems that the world has already forgotten one of the greatest dark summoners, the Dark Apostle. However..."

  Robert's voice grew even colder: "Soon, people will know this name again and tremble under it!"

  "Dark Summoner!" Li Xie finally showed the shock he should have! What Dark Apostle, he had never heard of, but Dark Summoner was what Li Xie had been hearing about since he came to the Continent of Gods.

  I heard that Dark Summoners like to study fresh blood!

  "Hmph!" Robert snorted: "You should tell me what kind of breed you are now?"

  "Hua Xia tribe." Li Xie wanted to say he was a blood tribe, but thinking about it seemed somewhat fawning on foreigners, so he directly said Hua Xia tribe. Even if he was a vampire, he was still a Hua Xia vampire! Moreover, this vampire of his had no relation whatsoever with the vampires from the Western world!

  "Hua Xia?" Robert was silent for a long time, then said to himself: "In the past, when the Supreme God was defeated by outsiders, it seemed that those outsiders were the Hua Xia people! This is recorded in the history of the gods, but ordinary people only know the Hua Xia language and do not know that Hua Xia is an ethnic group!"

  Uh... accidentally bumped into a senior from the same clan?

  Li Xie couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, but he still had to know Robert's true strength, so he said: "You can live for two thousand years, you should be a demigod, right? Demigod, what do you want from me by catching me?"

  "Demigod? Haha, do you think only demigods can have eternal life? Do you know what a Dark Summoner is?"

  "It's unclear." Li Xie replied honestly.

  "It doesn't matter if it's unclear." Robert raised his finger, and the withered hand with black fingernails drew a line on Li Xie's body, creating a three-inch long wound. As he watched the wound heal quickly, Robert's voice was filled with excitement: "Originally, I thought that since those people were chasing you, if I caught you, maybe I could use you to exchange for some things I want. Now, you're a treasure!"

  Li Xie could sense the malice in his tone and wondered if he should make a move.

  Li Xie knew that he could be immune to magic and Dou Qi below the 8th rank, plus his own defense and recovery speed, it was not a problem for him to escape from an 8th rank master. The problem was that the opponent was a monster who had lived for two thousand years and was also a legendary dark summoner, saying that he didn't have strength above the 8th rank? Even ghosts wouldn't believe it!

  "What exactly do you want? Let me tell you, I have a Ten-Step Sword Saint Guardian, they can track my aura and will find this place soon!"

  "Ten-tier Sword Saint?" Robert's tone was laced with disdain, and he continued to caress Li Xie's chest. Li Xie's shirt had long been torn apart by the sword's wing, and his skin broke out in goosebumps under Robert's rough fingertips. Listening to Robert's seemingly gentle and affectionate tone, he said: "The Huaxia tribe, a race even stronger than the Supreme God! Hehe, this body is exactly what I've always dreamed of! I'm going to make you mine!"
