Chapter 148
Twelve days later, PEI Ling returned to the sect.
Considering that Lu luqiang’s situation was getting worse along the way, he first sent her to RUO Xiu peak, where she lived, and then went to the miscellaneous Committee division alone to submit the task.
After the disciple of the miscellaneous Affairs Department took the nameplate and inserted it into the array beside him, he was suddenly stunned.”Why is Shidi here to submit the mission alone? Where are the others?”
“Senior Sister Lu is seriously injured and in urgent need of medical treatment, so she didn’t come,” PEI Ling said.
The disciple heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, ” “Then it’s truly a cause for celebration that Junior Brother was able to retreat in one piece.”
“What else?” he asked.
“No,” PEI Ling said, ” the others are all dead ... The sect didn’t tell senior brother that his soul lamp went out? ”
&Quot; ... &Quot; the smile on the disciple’s face froze. They were all dead?
This mission was widely known in the entire outer sect.
After all, the best outer sect disciple had only gone to Tang Nanzhai.
However, Zhang Shuo, Guan xuerui, Jiao PU, Lu Fujiang, and Bai Kuang, who were all at the ninth level of the Qi refining stage, were also quite famous. Bai Kuang, in particular, had a close relationship with the inner sect. Otherwise, he would not have been able to borrow two magic tools.
Moreover, these ninth-stage Qi refinement cultivators did not go alone. They all gathered a group of eighth-stage or even peak eighth-stage Qi refinement cultivators and hoarded a considerable number of talismans and pills. They only set off after making sufficient preparations.
With such a lineup, they could even annihilate some small sects, let alone a mere han family villa.
At the thought of this, he could not help but look at PEI Ling carefully.
That’s right, he was at the peak of the eighth-stage Qi refining realm. He hadn’t even reached the ninth-stage Qi refining realm.
So many ninth-tier Qi refining cultivators, especially Tang Nanzhai, who was only half a step away from the foundation building stage, had not returned. On the other hand, PEI Ling had returned unscathed?
What kind of joke was this?
Even if Bai Kuang and the others were to kill each other for the foundation building Elixir’s recipe, it was impossible for this brat to be lucky enough to survive, right?
Eh?
Did he just say that there was a Senior Sister who was seriously injured, so she didn’t come?
The disciple of the miscellaneous Committee frowned slightly and immediately thought of the love Gu. Could it be that this kid was simple-looking but vicious in heart and schemed against a careless female cultivator, blocking the knife for him at the critical moment, and became a fisherman?
In any case, such a big matter was not something the miscellaneous Committee could make a decision on. Thinking of this, he coughed. &Quot; the soul lamp is guarded by the steward’s Hall. They usually don’t specifically come to inform the miscellaneous Committee. I’m sorry, Junior Brother, this is a serious matter, please wait outside for a moment, we need to check with the steward’s Hall.”
Thus, PEI Ling took his name tag and went to the outer room to wait. Not long after, Jiang Liang, who he had met before, came in with some people. When he saw PEI Ling, he gave a half-smile.”Alright, let’s go.”
After a long while, in the room in the steward’s Hall, PEI Ling honestly recounted the general process of the mission. Of course, he did not even mention the heaven-Dao Foundation establishment technique. He only said that the enemy that han sigu had provoked in his early years could transform into his appearance. He used this to provoke the Han clan to kill each other, which led to the extermination of the clan overnight.
As for why han sigu didn’t stop him, it was because he had failed in the battle in the myriad fathoms sea and was seriously injured, so he couldn’t move. The reason why the disciples who went on missions later never returned was because han sigu and his enemies needed blood and flesh.
After explaining the course of events, Jiang Liang closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. At this time, a Deacon came forward and whispered a few words into his ear.
Jiang Liang nodded and said to PEI Ling, ” &Quot; the time when Tang Nanzhai and the others ‘soul lamps went out was almost the same as you said. In that case, you can go back to the miscellaneous Committee division and continue to receive your reward. &Quot;
PEI Ling heaved a sigh of relief. He thought of the incident in Luoshan city and casually asked.
“The human-faced Spider has been killed.” Jiang Liang narrowed his eyes and glanced at him. He said faintly, ” as for the details of the incident, Chen Huan and the others are not worthy of the sect’s soul-searching and other similar methods to investigate thoroughly. According to the evidence and traces at the time, let’s just treat it as what you and the Luo Shan city Lord have said. &Quot;
“Deacon Jiang, what do you mean by this?” PEI Ling laughed drily and said, ” isn’t that what happened? ”
Jiang Liang smiled and walked to his side, saying, ” “The old hands of my steward’s Hall don’t even need to go to the scene to guess what happened. You guys did it cleanly, and we don’t have the time to pursue the root of the matter at all costs. It’s fine if it’s only once or twice, but if it’s too many times, our steward’s Hall won’t just sit around and do nothing ... Do you understand, martial nephew PEI?”
Then, he left.
PEI Ling was left behind to ponder for a moment before he left.
This time, when he went to the miscellaneous Committee division, the disciples of the miscellaneous Committee division gave him his reward.
PEI Ling split the ten thousand lower spiritual stones into two portions. He took 70% and Lu lü Qiang took 30%.
He felt a little guilty after the distribution, so he took another 2500 lower spiritual stones from Lu luqiang and put them into his storage bag.
After all, this senior did not do much. Giving her 500 low-grade spirit stones as a reward for her firm stand after the incident with Dong Caiwei was about right.
Considering that Lu lü Qiang had probably already found a doctor to treat her, PEI Ling decided to check on Jin sumian’s condition first.
A moment later, a blood-red light flashed and PEI Ling landed outside Jin sumian’s cave. Just as he took out her name tag, he saw a female cultivator with high hair tied up in a bun and dressed in a rainbow-colored feather dress slowly walking out of the cave with her brows slightly furrowed!
PEI Ling’s heart trembled. Jin sumian’s token was in his hands. Who was this person? It could actually be accessed?
He flicked his wrist and kept the nameplate. He walked forward and saluted as if nothing had happened.”Senior Sister, may I ask if Senior Sister Jin is free now?”
Jin Sutai glanced at him and said without thinking much, ” “You’re here to ask her to refine pills? Unfortunately, it’s not convenient for her now. You’d better find someone else.”
“Many thanks, Senior Sister.” PEI Ling asked, ” Senior Sister, are you Senior Sister Jin’s ...? &Quot;
“I’m her cousin,” Jin Sutai said.
Then, he turned into a rainbow and left.
PEI Ling’s expression was dark and uncertain for a moment, but he did not dare to enter without permission.
After all, who knew if his cousin had seen through Jin sumian’s condition and left any traps in the cave? in fact, Jin sumian had already been saved and was waiting for him in the cave?
“I have to find senior brother Zheng.” At the thought of this, PEI Ling did not dare to delay. He immediately took out the blood palanquin and rushed to the inner sect.
Inner sect, withered orchid courtyard.
Zheng Jingshan was travel-worn and had just entered the door when he heard the sound of someone approaching.
He activated the array and smiled. He opened the array and went out to welcome them personally.”Junior Brother PEI, I was just about to send someone to look for you!”
Zheng Jingshan laughed as he stepped forward and patted PEI Ling’s shoulder. &Quot; I have a piece of great news to tell you! &Quot;
“Senior brother Zheng, I also have a very important thing to tell you!” PEI Ling was startled and hurriedly said.
