Chapter Seven, the Immortal Lady Li

Damn it! Wu Tingxi's eyes widened in fury, and in an instant, he delivered a headbutt that struck heavily against Pei Ling's head. Pei Ling immediately felt a wave of dizziness, and taking advantage of the moment, Wu Tingxi stood up, grabbed a nearby stone, and without hesitation, hurled it towards Pei Ling.

"Master of the house," Pei Ling could not help but ask, "How does this Fairy Li's strength and status compare to that of Master Zheng?"

Pei Lingxin's thoughts raced as she looked at the belongings of Wu Tingxi in her hands. Her expression changed unpredictably for a moment, and with a firm resolve, she turned around and walked towards Luquan City

What exacerbates the situation is that the pain in his left arm gradually fades away, giving way to numbness

"Master of the family, my nephew was severely injured at that time. He feared that sending a signal would attract Wu Tingxi's attention, and if that happened, my nephew might not return. " Pei Ling gasped slightly and asked in a deep voice, "May I ask, Master of the family, where is Master Zheng? My nephew wishes to report in person."

Now, without Wu Tingxi's obstruction, Pei Ling took some time and finally found the path leading to the surface from the web-like corridor

Pei Ling expressed her deep gratitude and accepted it, using the excuse of returning to the city to find a doctor, and calmly made her exit

Wu Tingxi instinctively closed his eyes, but Pei Ling seized the opportunity to pounce on him, wrapping his arms around his waist and throwing him to the ground

Bang

However, after a short while of swift movement, Pei Ling once again sensed that someone was secretly watching him

Pei Ling rummaged through the belongings left by Wu Tingxi. Perhaps due to being pursued all the way, this fellow had little medicine left on him, and among the few remaining jade vials, he recognized only the Blood Qi Pill, while he was unaware of what the others were.

Pei Xuan lowered his face and stared at him intently

"That place is very complicated." Pei Ling firmly rejected the idea. The reason he took the risk to return was to negotiate terms directly with Zheng Jingshan; how could he possibly allow Pei Xuan to act as an intermediary? He immediately said, "I fear that even if I speak, the head of the family may not understand. If it delays Master Zheng's matters, it would be difficult for all of us in the Pei residence to take responsibility."

After a short while, in the Pei residence of Luquan City, the head of the family, Pei Xuan, looked at Pei Ling, who was ragged and in a disheveled state, with surprise: "You say you have found Wu Tingxi? Then why did you not send out the family signal?"

Pei Ling, remember this! Just as the words fell, Pei Xuan's expression suddenly changed, and he solemnly instructed, "This esteemed fairy Li, although low-key, possesses a cultivation level and status that far surpass what Daoist Zheng can compare to in terms of future prospects"

He killed Wu Tingxi

Pei Ling was struck by this punch, leaving him dizzy, yet he felt a surge of joy in his heart: he had only reached the third layer of Qi training and had not learned any offensive techniques. If Wu Tingxi continued to use the Five Poisons Finger, even if he managed to evade the previous strike, he would still be facing certain death in the next attack

Pei Ling heard the sound of the wind was off, and quickly rolled to the side. At the same time, he picked up a handful of dust from the ground and threw it towards Wu Tingxi's face.

On the way, I also encountered one or two members of the Pei family. Fortunately, he had just received orders from the main hall of the Pei residence with them. Although he now appeared disheveled, he claimed to have been overpowered by wild beasts, and his kin did not suspect him.

This is the full-force strike of a practitioner with top-tier iron bones at the third level of Qi training. In the past, Wu Tingxi would have dismissed such an attack entirely, but now he is severely injured. Not only was he unable to evade it, but as his face was suddenly knocked to the side, a faint metallic taste of blood rose in his mouth

Pei Ling felt a heavy heart upon hearing this. Could it be that Zheng Jingshan is now at Yuanlaoshan?

He was filled with shock, anger, and regret, his spirit deflating, while Pei Ling's ferocity was ignited, growing bolder with each battle. In an instant, the outcome became clear, and Pei Ling seized the opportunity to knock him down to the ground with a stone.

Just as I was about to ask the master of the house if there was a way to immediately notify Zheng Jingshan, and how long it would take for Zheng Jingshan to return, I heard Pei Xuan say: "How about this, although Daoist Zheng has gone to Yuanla Mountain, fortunately, Fairy Li is still in Bawu Courtyard in quiet cultivation. I will take you to see Fairy Li now"

Wu Tingxi winced in pain, and the bullet in his hand involuntarily rolled to the ground

Seeing Pei Ling follow suit a moment later and bowing, he frowned and reprimanded, "In front of the fairy, why are you not kneeling!"

Wu Tingxi hesitated slightly, when suddenly a sharp pain shot through his wrist. It was Pei Ling who sensed something amiss, enduring the blows to his head and kicks to his legs, as he forcefully grabbed Wu's wrist and slammed it hard against the nearby stone several times.

There was even a kind-hearted cousin who threw him a bottle of hemostatic powder

Moreover, this foolish system took him to steal the Bone Tempering Pill from Zheng Jingshan during the first cultivation, which led to the entanglement with the Enchanting Bone Rakshasa Diagram; during the second cultivation, it brought him to snatch the Blood Qi Pill from Wu Tingxi, and he barely survived after a desperate struggle—who knows what kind of situation this time's cultivation will lead him into

Fairy Li

This is the first time Pei Ling has come to this place, after all, such a courtyard for receiving distinguished guests has always been advised to be avoided due to his status and position within the clan

Pei Ling's heart filled with joy, and she hurriedly said: "Yes!"

Pei Xuan's gaze flickered as he said, "You have worked hard. Since Zheng Daoist is not in the residence at the moment, let me have someone take you down to recuperate. Please tell me the whereabouts of Wu Tingxi, and I will convey the message to Zheng Daoist on your behalf"

Moreover, are you certain that you know the whereabouts of Wu Tingxi and that you will not cause Fairy Li to make a wasted trip? Pei Xuan seemed to hold a great deal of apprehension towards this Fairy Li; even after having walked ahead, he still felt uneasy, stopping in his tracks to solemnly warn, "This matter is of great importance. If Fairy Li feels that we are toying with her, it will not be a trivial matter."

Worried that the underworld sect member might feign death and launch a surprise attack, Pei Ling, even after sensing that the opponent had stopped moving, did not dare to be negligent. He continued to smash more than a dozen stones, confirming that Wu Tingxi's head was already smashed into the ground. Only after the body had grown cold did he finally stop, panting heavily, and wiped his face with lingering fear. He had won! The body had already grown cold, and only then did he stop, panting heavily, and wiped his face with lingering fear. He had won!

Thanks to his stepmother, he had to come to Yuanshan Mountain to gather herbs and hunt for his livelihood since childhood, making him very familiar with places beyond the depths of Yuanshan Mountain. At this moment, after slightly discerning the direction, he hurriedly sought a secluded path down the mountain

Cough cough cough ... ... Wu Tingxi had originally suffered severe internal injuries; after being thrown down like this and with Pei Ling pressing down on him, blood once again seeped from the corner of his mouth

This bullet is merely a relic passed down to him along with the jade slip of the cultivation method by his master, and it is also the last trump card of his master's lineage. It is an overkill to deal with Zheng Jingshan, as Pei Ling is nothing more than a worthless practitioner at the third level of Qi Refinement

Pei Ling's hair stood on end, yet at the critical moment, it instead awakened the potential deep within him. He hurriedly rolled on the spot, narrowly avoiding the strike in that perilous instant

"Rest assured, esteemed head of the family!" Pei Ling hurriedly replied, "If I did not have absolute confidence, how could I dare to deceive you? Moreover, I seek an audience with the immortal master of the Chongming Sect for a specific request."

At this moment, preoccupied with his own injuries and the upcoming negotiations, he had no interest in appreciating the elaborate arrangements made by the Pei residence, yet he secretly tightened the bullet in the palm of his hand

If this continues, even if he temporarily uses the system to block the Enchanting Bone Rakshasa Diagram, it is unlikely that he will be able to survive

He knew he was in trouble, not only had the alluring demoness reappeared at his door, but most critically, the places injured by Wu Tingxi had evidently been poisoned

Having descended from Yuanshan Mountain, he recalled that Wu Tingxi had instructed him to head west, and he decisively chose the eastern route

He immediately wrapped his legs around the opponent's body to prevent him from creating distance and using other means, while simultaneously swinging his right fist down hard towards the opponent's chin

In the next moment, his fist struck heavily against Pei Ling's face

For a moment, Pei Xuan paused slightly and lowered his voice to remind: "Don't look up later, especially don't look at the wind chime in the corner of the room."

Now, Wu Tingxi actually resorts to using fists and feet, which shows how severely injured this person is, not much better off than himself

Indeed, with so many members of the Pei family searching in the mountains, Zheng Jingshan is waiting on-site for a signal, which makes it easier to intercept Wu Tingxi at the fastest speed... But what about him? His current situation is already quite critical, and he may not be able to wait for Zheng Jingshan to return

Pei Xuan glanced at him deeply and said, "Let's go!"

If nothing unexpected occurs, she will still be the next Saintess under the Holy Ancestor

However, seeing this side nephew showing no fear, and even having a hint of a willingness to fight to the bitter end, he pondered for a moment and changed to a smiling face: "That is acceptable. However, it is true that Friend Zheng is not currently in the residence."

When you meet her later, you must be even more respectful than you are to me and to Daoist Zheng, understood

The room was empty, yet the dense gazes were continuously increasing ... ! ... Pei Ling's steps grew slower and slower, his face turning ashen

He hurriedly led Pei Ling into the Biyu Courtyard, ignoring the main house ahead, and instead took a small path to go around to the back.

Pei Ling was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized that this must be the disciple of the Chongming Sect who had come to Luquan City with Zheng Jingshan. However, this person was too low-key; in the past few days, all he had heard were the deeds and character of Zheng Jingshan, and he had subconsciously overlooked him.

Wu Tingxi's lethal finger strike missed its target, leaving him momentarily dumbfounded. However, being of noble lineage, he reacted swiftly, quickly adjusting his stance that was originally meant to be a casual display of disdain towards Pei Ling's corpse. He suddenly stomped his foot on the ground and leaped forward.

In a dire situation, Pei Ling was only momentarily delighted before hurriedly getting up, disregarding the pain. First, he gave the system a one-star review, then he thoroughly searched Wu Tingxi inside and out. Remembering the bullets that this person had just been reluctant to use, he found some nearby and tucked them into his pocket. After a final effort to destroy the evidence, he endured the dizziness and, leaning against the mountain wall, staggered away.

He knew it was not good. In the midst of the scuffle, his fingertips searched several times in his sleeve and skillfully retrieved the bullet he had held moments ago when startled by the mouse

He then stepped forward to a temple, bowing deeply and saying: "Pei Xuan of the Pei family, pays respects to the esteemed Immortal Li."

It is the true transmission of the Heavy Abyss Sect

If it turns out to be someone who is just passing by and cannot help him at all, then it is of no use
