"Got it. I am on my way. Keep him occupied. I won't forget your contribution while reporting to Junior Brother Wang."

Envoy Ming's reply came quickly as well. Hearing this, the Iron Mountain Sect cultivator became happy. However, he knew that he wouldn't be able to keep Duncan on his own. So, he turned towards the other cultivator and spoke solemnly.

"Fellow Daoist, this person is a murderer our sect has been hunting for. I request your assistance in trapping him here. My Senior Brother, Envoy Ming is on the way. He will compensate you fairly. Moreover, I will also willingly give up and admit defeat," the Iron Mountain Sect cultivator spoke sincerely.

The other cultivator's eyes flickered. He wasn't ignorant of the recent happenings in the Starmist City. He knew the reason behind the other party's sudden change in attitude.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist. Eradicating evil is the duty of all cultivators. I will help you restrain this evil cultivator," the other cultivator smiled heartily and nodded.

Duncan watched the two of them perform and felt like sneering. What duty of all cultivators? Before he came out, weren't these two fighting to the death? He didn't believe such a conflict could emerge without appropriate benefit.

Now that the cultivator from Iron Mountain Sect was willing to retreat, this fellow immediately became friendly and acted all righteous. Such a double-faced character almost made Duncan puke.

"You two seem confident of handling me, huh? So, I guess the apology isn't coming. Then, in that case..."

Duncan's eyes sharpened. He immediately targeted the other cultivator and attacked. Duncan knew that if he fought both of them together, it would be hard for him to finish the battle quickly.

With both sides evenly matched, he didn't think the battle would come to a conclusion soon. If it was a normal time, Duncan would have chosen the long battle in order to hone his battle skills. However, he was a little wary of this so-called Envoy Ming arriving and tilting the scales.

In that case, it was imperative to finish the battle as soon as possible. Since attacking two of them wouldn't yield results, he will attack and dispose of one person first. Then, he will take care of the other one.

As for why he chose the other cultivator instead of the one from Iron Mountain Sect, he just didn't like his face-changing character much. Duncan felt that this person was an eyesore. So, decided to get rid of him first.

Since this guy wants to jump into Duncan's business with the Iron Mountain Sect, then let him have a taste of his wrath. Duncan was very decisive. Once decided, he didn't hesitate at all.

Seeing the attack coming towards him, the cultivator's eyes widened. He thought that it would be the Iron Mountain Sect disciple who will be fighting hard and he would just provide support. However, the sudden change of events shocked him and he was unable to react immediately.

"Aargh!" the cultivator screamed in fright and tried to retreat.

However, by then the attack had arrived. Even the Iron Mountain Sect disciple didn't expect to attack one of them immediately after his speech. So, even though he tried to help the other cultivator, he wasn't fast enough as well.

Seeing that retreat wasn't an option, the other cultivator grit his teeth and resisted hard. Unfortunately, Duncan's attack was far too sudden and very powerful as well. In the end, despite resisting hard, the cultivator was injured severely.

A long gash that was very deep appeared on the cultivator's torso. Blood sprouted from it nonstop. The wound also had a mysterious power within it that tried to burrow deep into the cultivator's body. With a scream, the cultivator fell down on the ground injured heavily.

Duncan smiled at the injured cultivator in a derisive manner. He turned his eyes towards the Iron Mountain Sect disciple with a sneer on his face.

"Well, now that he had paid with his blood, you are the only one left. By the way, what did you mean about detaining me?" Duncan asked casually as he walked towards the Iron Mountain Sect disciple.

"Despicable!" the Iron Mountain Sect disciple roared angrily and looked at Duncan with murder in his eyes. However, he didn't dare to attack Duncan. His eyes suddenly became a little ambiguous as if he was thinking hard.

"Despicable? Why do you say that? I beat him fair and square. It is not my fault if you righteous cultivators spend more time talking than cultivating to increase your power," Duncan chuckled.

"Hmmph, only a murderer like you would think attacking someone while talking isn't despicable," the Iron Mountain Sect disciple snorted and looked at Duncan vigilantly. "But, don't be too happy. There are many of my sect members currently searching this forest for you. Now that your location has been leaked, you will be hunted down like a dog."

Duncan paused suddenly and tilted his head. He looked as if he couldn't understand what the Iron Mountain Sect disciple told. He hummed a little and looked at the Iron Mountain Sect disciple with a strange gaze.

"Interesting..." Duncan hummed. I think you should take a look at

Hearing Duncan's comment, the rage on the Iron Mountain Sect disciple's face exploded. He looked ferocious as he stared daggers at Duncan.

"You heathen, you think you can escape the pursuit of my sect members? Ha ha ha, Envoy Ming is on his way here. Let's see how you will be arrogant after he arrives. Your only option is to flee while you still have time," the Iron Mountain Sect disciple sneered.

Duncan looked at the Iron Mountain Sect disciple for a long moment. Then he stared at the injured cultivator who was hurriedly taking pills by the side to restore the injury. Then he once again stared at the Iron Mountain Sect disciple. Suddenly Duncan started laughing uproariously.

Seeing Duncan laugh, the Iron Mountain Sect disciple furrowed his eyebrows. He bit his lips angrily and stared indignantly at Duncan. He couldn't believe the audacity of this man. Even after knowing that he was going to be hunted, he still had the mood to laugh. If it was him, he would have escaped as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Duncan's laughter stopped, and the next moment a fierce glint appeared in his eyes. Without saying anything, Duncan sent out another Absolute Severance sword.

The disciple from the Iron Mountain Sect widened his eyes. He hastily tried to defend himself. But, he had let his anger get his guard down a bit. Moreover, the distance between him and Duncan had been lessened. So, by the time he reacted, the attack was already in his face.

In a fight between cultivators, one moment of carelessness would spell death. Duncan's attack was fast and without any indication. He had been laughing one moment and the next moment he had attacked.

Before he could mount any defense, the Iron Mountain Sect disciple's head flew off. Duncan watched the rolling head dispassionately. The Iron Mountain Sect disciple didn't even have the chance to scream.

The same couldn't be said for the other cultivator. He gasped in disbelief seeing Duncan's ruthless attack. He immediately tried to get up and run. Even though he was injured, at this moment he burst out with a strong sense of crisis and tried to escape.

Another sword light appeared. Another head rolled.

Duncan sneered at the duo. He waved his hand and collected the two people's storage rings.

"I really couldn't understand why the idiot was running his mouth when he was facing death. I initially thought he was trying to buy time or have some trump card to resist me. He obviously realized that he wasn't a match for me. So, it was only logical," Duncan muttered derisively.

"But, the idiot actually tried to intimidate me. He must have bluffed with the power of his sect too many times in the past. There can be no other explanation for it. What an idiot!"

Duncan turned and operated his the next moment. His figure vanished from the area the next moment. He knew that lingering in this forest was really not ideal at all.

Even if that idiot was bluffing about the entire sect hunting for him, his communication with that Envoy Ming had been seen by Duncan. Seeing the confidence that idiot had towards his senior brother, Duncan didn't fancy meeting him.

He had lingered in this region for too long. It would be fine if his tracks weren't exposed. Now that his tracks were exposed, he must leave immediately. Initially, he didn't think it would take this much time to digest his epiphany. But, some complications have risen during his retreat.

Duncan didn't know why this place was teeming with cultivators. He could sense several powerful auras fighting in the distance. He hadn't noted it earlier, but he could feel their auras clashing in the distance clearly now that he was concentrating.

It made him uneasy. He could tell from the scale that some heavy struggle was happening deep in the inner forest. With so many powerful cultivators around, it wasn't appropriate for him to linger in this area. Moreover, people from the Iron Mountain Sect were looking for him specifically as well.

So, Duncan didn't hesitate. He directly activated his movement technique and fled at a fast pace. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him and he paused midair. He turned to look in the direction he came from.

"Something that could cause two people in Violet Palace realm would not be a simple item. I forgot about it after killing them. Should I go back and search?" Duncan mumbled.

A trace of indecision appeared on his face as he looked at the direction he came from.
