Jiao Ni?

Why is she here?

!!
Pei Ling could not help but be startled.

Ouyang Xianxing sensed something and was about to turn around when her expression changed drastically. It was Ouyang Xianmeng.

The white bone chain rattled as it was about to strangle Pei Ling further. However, Jiao Ni only glanced at him quietly before the Bone Flower on Pei Ling’s body withered silently!

“!” Ouyang Xianmeng was clearly stunned for a moment before she turned her head 180 degrees. However, before she could see what was behind her, Jiao Ni pointed at her from afar. Her head turned back with a crack and she fell to the ground with a bang.

Pei Ling tore off the remaining Bone Flower and the chains on his body and threw them away. He hurriedly stepped forward to thank her. “Thank you, Miss Jiao Ni.”

Jiao Ni glanced at him calmly. The black hair on the back of her head suddenly grew longer and wrapped itself around him and Ouyang Xianxing.

Pei Ling did not have the time to ask anything before he fell into a daze. He did not know what he had experienced. When he came back to his senses, he was already at the entrance of Kulan Courtyard.

Beside him was the Netherworld Coffin Girl and Ouyang Xianxing, who had fainted on the coffin lid.

As for Jiao Ni, she was long gone.

He composed himself and checked that Ouyang Xianxing was still alive before knocking on the door.

After a while, Zheng Jingshan summoned a female disciple to take Ouyang Xianxing away. “What exactly is going on?”

“Senior Brother Zheng, that Xue Ying was originally Miao Chengyang’s man. And Fang Ji, after Miao Chengyang appeared, he also…” Pei Ling hurriedly explained the general situation. Zheng Jingshan was furious when he heard this. Before he could finish, he interrupted, “Miao Chengyang, the master of a faction, actually personally chased after an outer sect disciple. How shameless!

There’s also Xue Ying. This bastard. He only reached the Foundation Establishment realm by luck back then. His situation in the inner sect was difficult, and it was difficult for him to move forward. If I hadn’t been soft-hearted back then and taken him under my wing, whether he could survive until now would be a question.

He actually did such a thing!

You said that you refined him into an external demon of the Blood Malevolence Saber Art? Well done!

Even if this ungrateful thing didn’t die in your hands, I would’ve personally killed him upon his return!

As for Fang Ji…”

At the mention of this cultivator who cultivated both medicine and poison, Zheng Jingshan’s expression darkened for a moment before he continued to scold, “Back then, I nurtured him in every way possible. Even his Spectral Locust was specially obtained by me. I didn’t expect this bastard to be so afraid of death. He deserved to die.”

His heart ached. It was one thing for Fang Ji to die, but that Spectral Locust had the potential to become the Spectral Locust King. He had thought that Fang Ji would definitely be able to nurture it, and it would save him a lot of effort. He did not expect his junior brother to be so useless.

After calming down, Zheng Jingshan continued to ask, “Then how did you escape?”

“When Miao Chengyang was about to attack, he suddenly disappeared,” Pei Ling said truthfully. “Previously, Senior Sister Ouyang opened the Netherworld Coffin Girl to save me. Not long after we escaped from the Skeletal Crane Swamp, Senior Sister suddenly transformed into the face of the girl in the coffin and wanted to kill me… Fortunately, Miss Jiao Ni appeared at the critical moment and stopped Senior Sister before sending us back here. I think Miao Chengyang was also taken away by Miss Jiao Ni.”

Zheng Jingshan nodded secretly when he heard this. He knew it. Since Pei Ling was a genius that Senior Sister had taken a fancy to, how could she not have made arrangements?

He asked expectantly, “Is Miao Chengyang dead?”

“Senior Brother, I don’t know either,” Pei Ling said. “After he suddenly disappeared, he did not appear again. Then I was brought back to the entrance of Kulan Courtyard by Miss Jiao Ni.”

Zheng Jingshan felt a little regretful. Not to mention the grudge between him and Miao Chengyang, the key was that Double Mulberry Faction was in decline now. If Miao Chengyang died now, Clear River Faction would be defenseless. It might be a chance for his faction to take advantage of the situation and recover.

However, now that he could not confirm Miao Chengyang’s life or death, it was not appropriate to attack.

“Alright, I roughly understand.” After quickly surmising in his heart, Zheng Jingshan looked up and said amiably, “Junior Brother Pei, I didn’t control my subordinates well this time and made a fool of myself in front of you. Fortunately, Senior Sister sent Miss Jiao Ni to make sure you were safe.”

Pei Ling hurriedly said, “Senior Brother, you’re being too serious. If not for your nurturing, how could I have the chance to obtain the Cold Marrow Fire? I’ll never forget your kindness.”

Seeing his grateful look, Zheng Jingshan smiled and said, “Forget it, I’ll handle this matter. How about this? You’ve just returned from the Gu Abyss and have just absorbed fire into your body. You should rest and recuperate first. Don’t go back to the outer sect first, just in case. I’ll get someone to tidy up a room for you to stay for the time being.”

After getting his attendant to take Pei Ling to his room, Zheng Jingshan pondered for a moment before standing up to leave the small courtyard.

After some time, the disheveled Miao Chengyang returned to his residence.

The inner sect disciple who stayed behind could not help but be shocked to see the Branch Master covered in wounds and blood. He hurriedly went forward to support him. “Branch Master!”

“How did Branch Master become like this?” The medical cultivator disciple who arrived later was also stunned. As he treated him, he asked in confusion, “Did something happen in the Gu Abyss?”

Miao Chengyang’s expression darkened. He did not answer this question but instructed, “Get two people to Deer Spring City and slaughter the Pei family!”

Didn’t Jiao Ni ask him to swear not to attack Pei Ling before he entered the inner sect?

However, he did not promise not to attack the other members of the Pei clan.

After Miao Cheng’an’s death, he had learned about Pei Ling’s family when he was investigating the murderer. Although Pei Ling’s biological mother had passed away early, his biological father was still alive. There were also his siblings, as well as many clansmen who had grown up together.

Even if this little bastard did not have as deep a relationship with his brothers as he did with Cheng’an, how could anyone not have any feelings for their family?

Moreover, Pei Ling had only entered the sect for a few days. His time in the Deep Sea Sect was not long enough for him to forget the Pei family. If he massacred Pei Ling’s entire family, it would be impossible for him not to be affected.

The reason why core disciple Li sent Jiao Ni to protect Pei Ling was that she valued this little bastard’s talent.

If Pei Ling was crippled, would core disciple Li continue to support him?

At the thought of this, Miao Chengyang added, “Don’t kill them all at once. Leave a few who are close to him and teach them well. Bring them back to the sect secretly. I have a use for them.”

After all, he had witnessed Pei Ling’s determination when the fire entered his body. If he did not fall apart at the grievous news of his family being slaughtered, or if he pulled himself together after that… It was better to leave a few people behind to upset him from time to time.

If you want me to be a whetstone for that little bastard… Miao Chengyang sneered in his heart. I’ll let that little bastard’s Dao heart be covered in dust before he reaches the Foundation Establishment realm. It’ll forever be difficult for him to advance!
