Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A moment later, at the City Lord’s Residence in Spiraling Mountain City, Pei Ling, who had just washed up, was notified by the steward and went to the main hall anxiously.
The moment he entered, he saw the neat and elegant City Lord Duanmu sitting in the hall. He was holding the Soul Summoning Banner.

“Little Friend Pei.” Only then did City Lord Duanmu see Pei Ling, He immediately showed a sorrowful expression and gently placed the Soul Summoning Banner on a bench beside him. He sighed and said, “I’m really sorry. The Man-Faced Spider was fierce and took advantage of the fact that I was a step
too late. Your senior brother, Chen Huan, had died in the mouth of the beast. After several twists and turns, I fought desperately to retrieve his remains.”

II! This is really great!!

The Man-Faced Spider is really a good demon beast!

Pei Ling was overjoyed. He tried his best to calm down before suppressing the smile on his face. He stepped forward and consoled him hypocritically, “City Lord, you must not say that. You did not want this to happen, City Lord. The dead are gone. Please restrain your grief.”
After saying this, he was a little worried and probed, “Oh right, City Lord, other than Senior Brother Chen, the other senior brothers and sisters… ?”

“Sigh, when I arrived, I happened to see Little Friend Chen being killed by the Man-Faced Spider.” City Lord Duanmu had a sad expression.” After that, I searched carefully. Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything. But I hope they can return safely.”

Pei Ling’s heart sank when he heard this. He thought to himself that those people must die in the hands of the Man-Faced Spider.

Otherwise, even if they did not have evidence to frame him and could not use the sect rules to deal with him, they would definitely think of ways to take revenge.

This kind of hidden danger is too troublesome. Should I go and hide outside the city later and strike first?

Just as he was pondering, he suddenly heard City Lord Duanmu sigh. “No matter what, you two were in the same team. Now that you’re here, I’ll hand over Little Friend Chen’s inheritance to you, Little Friend Pei. This Soul Summoning Banner is a high-grade talisman artifact. It’s also one of the best
high-grade talisman artifacts recorded in the various technique pavilions of the outer sect. Take it. It can protect your Dao and is also a keepsake.”

As he spoke, he handed the Soul Summoning Banner over.
So good?
Pei Ling was stunned when he heard this. He could not suppress the smile on his face. He instinctively reached out to receive it. However, just as he was about to say some polite words, he looked up and saw City Lord Duanmu’s clean outer shirt. He instantly quivered!

“City Lord!!!” Pei Ling suddenly pushed the Soul Summoning Banner back and said righteously, “Who do you think I am?! We, a group of juniors, set out on a mission just to help you deliver a letter from family. It was nothing, but I had to trouble you for your hospitality. Not only did you sincerely inform
me about the Man-Faced Spider, but you also bestowed me with spirit wine that was helpful in cultivation.”

“You’re so loving, like a blood-related nephew.”

“We have nothing to repay you with. In fact, because Senior Brother Chen and the others provoked the Man-Faced Spider, they added a lot of trouble to you and Spiraling Mountain City.

City Lord, you did not hold it against us. Now, this Soul Summoning Banner is something that you have worked hard to retrieve. If I, Pei Ling, still want to take it, wouldn’t I become a shameless person?!”
He stuffed the Soul Summoning Banner into City Lord Duanmu’s hands and said in a low voice, “City Lord, please accept this Soul Summoning Banner. Take it as an apology from us!”

“This isn’t too good, right?” City Lord Duanmu sighed, his gaze sad. “This Soul Summoning Banner is quite famous in the outer sect of the Holy Sect. Little Friend Chen and company have been working hard to refine it since you entered the sect…”

“So the City Lord must accept it
cruel nature.

” At this moment, the clothes on Pei Ling’s back were completely wet. The damn Underworld Sect was indeed the Underworld Sect. To think that he had boasted that he had been indulging in debauchery for so many years. It seemed that he was still ignorant of the old man’s

He had thought that the City Lord was sincerely trying to save them when he was actually in a hurry to kill them and snatch their treasures.

If not for Pei Ling’s careful nature, he wouldn’t have sensed that there was a problem with the so-called ‘retrieving the remains after a few desperate struggles’ from the other party’s clothes. If he had accepted the Soul Summoning Banner just now, he would probably have followed in Chen Huan’s
footsteps and been eaten by the Man-Faced Spider.

Pei Ling looked at the Soul Summoning Banner again. What the f*ck, a high-grade talisman. This is a f*cking death sentence!

He held City Lord Duanmu’s hands tightly and said sincerely, “The reason why the City Lord refused to accept it is that you look down on us juniors at the Qi Refinement realm. You think that our strength is low and that the talisman artifact we’ve refined is not worthy of you!”
“This…” City Lord Duanmu hesitated.

Seeing this, Pei Ling continued to press on. He pulled up his robe and knelt on the ground, saying bitterly, “City Lord! We are all disciples of the Holy Sect. If you don’t accept it, it will disappoint us Qi Refinement cultivators!

As you said, this Soul Summoning Banner cost Senior Brother Chen immeasurable effort. In that case, even though Senior Brother Chen had perished, he would definitely hope that the Soul Summoning Banner would go to the right person.

I’m just a junior in the sect. How am I worthy?

Only in the hands of the City Lord will it not be considered an insult to this high-grade talisman artifact.

If Senior Brother Chen knew in the netherworld, he would definitely approve of this!”

“Sigh, Little Friend Pei, what are you doing? Get up quickly! Get up quickly!” Finally, City Lord Duanmu’s expression relaxed. He picked up the Soul Summoning Banner with one hand and supported Pei Ling with the other. He said, “Why don’t I just accept it then? As you said, we are all disciples of the Holy
Sect. Is there a need to give such a big gift?”

Pei Ling felt relieved and stood up.

After everything that had happened, the Soul Summoning Banner was given to this old thing. He should be safer now, right?

Wait!

He suddenly thought of something. The Life-Extinguishing Blade on his back seemed to be quite extraordinary! Otherwise, why would Li Siguang and the other two have designs on it the moment they met?
Pei Ling broke out in cold sweat!

Although he had wrapped up the Life-Extinguishing Blade tightly to avoid inviting trouble again after killing Li Siguang and the others, this was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in front of him! Who knew if he had any way to discover the quality of the Life-Extinguishing Blade through the
concealment?

What should I do?

Hand it over myself?

But what if this old thing is still worried after I hand it over and try to silence me?

Moreover, what weapon would I use after handing it over?

Pei Ling’s mind raced. In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to wait and see.

Perhaps the City Lord Duanmu did not even notice the Life-Extinguishing Blade. Why should I cause trouble?

In fact, Duanmu Yan had indeed not noticed Pei Ling’s weapon. After all, this was a young cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refinement who had just entered the sect. He did not come from an influential family. In his opinion, what good thing could he have?
“Little Friend Pei, such a thing has happened.” City Lord Duanmu was very satisfied with Pei Ling’s tactfulness. He stroked his short beard and his attitude became gentler. He said softly, “I wonder when you plan to return to the sect?”
Return to the sect?

Pei Ling, who had just composed himself, felt his heart tense up again.

It was impossible to return to the sect. He had no clue how to ean spirit stones. He could only stay outside to preserve his life.

If he had not been in a hurry to escape from the sect back then, he would not have been tricked by Chen Huan and the others.

Now that Spiraling Mountain City was far away from the sect, the families of Li Siguang and the other two would not be able to extend their reach for a while. Meanwhile, Chen Huan and the others had either died or dispersed, and the Soul Summoning Banner had become the City Lord’s spoils of war. He
had also survived many obstacles and was chatting happily with Duanmu Yan. Although this Duanmu Yan was also very shady, he was a talent after all. His words were pleasant to the ears, and it was simply more comfortable here than his so-called home in the Pei Residence in Deer Spring City.

He did not want to leave at all!

At this thought, Pei Ling’s expression showed that he was in a bind. “This… City Lord, we had set out on a mission. Now, although my senior brothers and sisters are all… I still want to try to complete the mission alone. This can be considered as comforting Senior Sister Chen and the rest of their souls in
heaven. So I’m afraid I’l have to trouble you for a while.”
