Chapter 354
Whoosh!
A blood-colored force shot towards the space between PEI Ling’s brows.
The nine souls saber immediately let out a sharp cry and floated up to protect its master.
However, the difference in their cultivation was too great. Zhou Miaoli, a direct disciple of the sage sect, was far more powerful than the two core formation realm cultivators in the Pengxi temple. The speed of the nine souls blade could not keep up with her attack.
In the next moment, just as PEI Ling was extremely anxious, thinking that he was going to perform dual cultivation with a female corpse in public, a huge force suddenly came from his forehead.
Bang!
PEI Ling’s body was instantly sent flying. After crashing into a small tree that was as thick as a child’s arm, he rolled on the ground before coming to a stop.
Although he seemed to be in a sorry state, he did not suffer any injuries.
It was obvious that Zhou Miaoli held back.
At the same time, the system instantly disappeared as usual.”Ding dong! [ an external attack has been detected. This cultivation session ends here. ] Thank you, host, for using the intelligent cultivation system. With one click of the button, you can ascend without worry! Please give me a five-star rating if you are satisfied ...”
Once he regained control of his body, PEI Ling did not even bother to give him a one-star rating immediately. His first reaction was to quickly tie his belt.
Perhaps it was because he had been scammed by the system too many times, but PEI Ling’s mental strength was now extremely strong.
He calmly fastened his belt and tidied up his robe. He looked at the crowd that had tightly surrounded him. There was no trace of shame or awkwardness. He asked in an extremely calm manner,”What’s the matter?”
Seeing PEI Ling acting as if nothing had happened, Zhou Miaoli was the one who felt slightly awkward.
She composed herself and said, ” Junior Brother PEI, senior Sihong is very fond of talents. When he heard that you were here, he traveled thousands of miles to personally come and visit you. &Quot;
Without waiting for PEI Ling’s reply, Zhou Miaoli continued, ” don’t worry, Junior Brother PEI. The Fuguang Sihong clan’s power and status are not below the nine Ali clan. &Quot;
&Quot; you must know that although junior martial brother is a heaven-sent genius, the nine Ali clan already has li lieyue, who has reached heaven-Dao Foundation establishment and first-grade core formation in this generation.
“Even if Junior Brother is loyal to the Li clan and has made great contributions, in the end, you will only be serving them like a dog and a horse, and will never be able to surpass the Li clan’s own bloodline!”
“But the Fuguang Sihong clan is different.”
&Quot; now that Junior Brother has successfully reached heaven-Dao Foundation establishment, if you’re willing to join the Sihong clan, the Sihong clan can promise to help you become the fourth core disciple of the sage sect! &Quot;
&Quot; when the time comes, you will be on the same level as me. You can even compete with su zhenhe of the pillow stone su clan. You have a chance to become the Holy Son of the sage sect! &Quot;
When he heard this, PEI Ling’s eyes revealed a strange expression.
He didn’t know Zhou Miaoli.
However, the other party claimed that he was only on the same level as him after he became the fourth true disciple, so his status was self-evident.
When he thought of this, PEI Ling did not feel any sense of urgency.
This pengyan temple’s test was arranged for him by the Li clan.
Now that he had just obtained an opportunity, the Li clan must be nearby and would naturally protect him.
“Senior Sister Zhou.” PEI Ling didn’t answer Zhou Miaoli’s question, but asked calmly, ” did you send anyone to deal with me during the Luquan City incident? ”
Not only was he su zhenhe’s mortal enemy, but Zhou Miaoli had also taken action during the incident in Luquan City.
Even if the Li Corporation didn’t do him any favors, he wouldn’t have chosen the Sihong Corporation, which was behind the Zhou family!
Upon hearing that, si honghang frowned and looked at Zhou Miaoli unhappily.
For a heaven’s favorite like PEI Ling who came from a small family and did not have any background, he was welcomed by any force!
This was especially so for the two generations of the Fuguang Sihong clan. They had many descendants, but none of them were able to successfully establish the heavenly Dao Foundation. They had no choice but to give the position of successor disciple to Zhou Miaoli ... This made them even more in need of recruiting a heaven’s favorite with a foreign surname like PEI Ling!
But now, Zhou Miaoli had offended him in advance?
Could it be that this woman was worried that PEI Ling would threaten her position or thin out her resources after joining the Sihong clan?
As he thought of this, a sinister look appeared in si honghang’s eyes.
Although Zhou Miaoli had the bloodline of the Sihong clan and was closer to the Sihong clan than PEI Ling.
But her last name was not Sihong after all!
To the Sihong clan, Zhou Miaoli wasn’t purely one of their own.
Her method of eliminating dissidents in advance, if it was done by a direct descendant of the Sihong clan, it would be harmless; But Zhou Miaoli couldn’t!
The Sihong clan had bestowed her with all sorts of opportunities and wondrous techniques, helping her to become a successor disciple and even giving her the chance to compete for the position of saintess with the talented di daughters of the Li clan. All of this was to let her secure a position for the Sihong clan and not to make it convenient for her to harm the interests of the Sihong clan!
Sensing the change in si honghang’s attitude, Zhou Miaoli looked calm and explained to PEI Ling, ” “I did find a few wandering cultivators and headed to Luquan City.”
“But my plan at that time was just to scare the PEI family.”
“After I personally visit the PEI residence, the crisis will be resolved.”
“At most, the entire PEI residence will be alarmed for nothing, there won’t be any accidents.”
“It’s just that I was stopped by li lieyue halfway, and my plan was disrupted. I couldn’t get there in time, I’m really sorry.”
After hearing this, PEI Ling immediately understood what Zhou Miaoli meant.
At that time, those freelance martial artists of the borrowing knife Hall were completely cannon fodders who sent themselves to death!
He remembered very clearly that the reason those itinerant cultivators had rushed to Luquan City from thousands of miles away was to slaughter the entire PEI estate.
If Zhou Miaoli’s words were true, according to her plan, she would wait for these itinerant cultivators to make a move. Then, she would personally appear and kill them all to ” save ” the PEI family from the disaster of extermination.
That way, the entire PEI family would be grateful to Zhou Miaoli.
After he returned to the PEI family, no matter what Zhou Miaoli asked for, the PEI family would stand on her side ...
This wasn’t a smart move, but it was enough to deal with a small family like the PEI family.
After all, a small clan in such a remote place was in short supply of resources. Even the most basic bone-tempering pills were limited in the entire clan.
They were already eager to rely on a big power.
With Zhou Miaoli’s status and cultivation, who could reject her ‘good intentions’ when she showed up personally?
At the thought of this, PEI Ling did not continue this topic.
He was already dead, and there was no way for him to take revenge. There was no point in knowing the whole story ...
&Quot; I’ve already chosen Senior Sister li in front of everyone. I won’t join the Sihong clan anymore. &Quot; PEI Ling said directly.
Si honghang remained silent.
Zhou Miaoli would be the one to talk about the recruitment.
As a nascent soul cultivator and a direct descendant of the Sihong clan, if he were to personally take part in the battle and was still rejected by PEI Ling, where would he put his face?
More importantly, no matter how much PEI Ling rejected Zhou Miaoli, as long as he didn’t say anything, there was still room for negotiation.
If he was rejected, his mission to recruit new geniuses would be a complete failure!
At that moment, Zhou Miaoli understood what SI honghang meant and said, ” &Quot; Junior Brother PEI, don’t be in a hurry to reject it. Tell me what li lieyue or the entire li clan has offered you first. Whatever the Li clan can offer, the Sihong clan can give, and even more! &Quot;
