“Luo Qiao?!” Fairy Li was caught off guard. She felt like her head had been struck heavily, and her mind went blank. Fortunately, the wind chime at her waist rang urgently, forcefully shaking that cold glint out of her sea of consciousness.
Fairy Li took the opportunity to stabilize her mind. She swept her gaze around. Although the cold light was forced out, it still floated in the air and lingered around. There was a blurry face in it. Surprisingly It was Luo Qiao, one of the outer sect elders of the Deep Sea Sect who was said to have “fallen” not long ago.
Her face darkened slightly as she shouted, “You still have a divine spirit here?!”
“Fairy Li?” Luo Qiao’s divine soul was protecting the jade slip and did not know the situation in the outside world. He sensed that someone was trying to check on the technique and took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. When he realized that it was Fairy Li, he was shocked.
“Who do you think you are to covet the Six Desires Secret Manual?”
Fairy Li snorted. “Who would find the way to become a Nascent Soul too much? Cut the crap. Surrender now and I’ll give you a quick death.”
“How amusing.” Luo Qiao’s divine spirit danced in the air as he chuckled. “How can a member of the Holy Sect sit and wait for death? Besides, you have a better future ahead of you, while I’m at my wit’s end. Are you really going to take the risk and fight me to the death?”
“How about you spare me and I’ll give the cultivation technique to you, Fairy?”
As he spoke, he rolled up the jade slip and presented it to Fairy Li. Just as Fairy Li’s gaze landed on the jade slip, Luo Qiao’s expression turned savage. He suddenly looked up and let out a sharp screech.
Fairy Li sneered. “I’ve long been prepared!”
She had just suffered from her careless mistake once. How could she underestimate her enemy again?
At some point, the numerous wind chimes at her waist had already opened their mouths in unison and seemed to let out a silent howl in pain.
Luo Qiao’s spirit seemed to be slashed by an invisible blade, and the screeching stopped! At the same time, purple light flashed on the tip of Fairy Li’s finger, and her spiritual power was like a snake as it jumped into the air to bind Luo Qiao.
“Spirit Binding Force?” Luo Qiao was from the same sect as her and knew that this magic technique specialized in dealing with the remnant spirits. Even though he was at the Core Formation realm when he was alive, he instinctively feared the purple light. He changed his plan as he looked at Fairy Li viciously and suddenly split into two, two into four, four into eight, and fled in all directions.
Fairy Li was not surprised as she shouted, “Trying to escape?”
She stretched out her fair, slender, and long fingers, opening them up to the sky before grabbing fiercely.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, a chilling wind blew while spirit energy was in chaos. The sky in the vicinity darkened as five faintly discernible fences stood up with Fairy Li at the center, forming a pentagon.
Luo Qiao’s divine spirit, which had already scattered and fled into the distance, was forcefully pulled back by some unseen power. He could not help but cry out in shock, “Five finger Dragon Prison! You managed to cultivate this divine art!”
Before Fairy Li could reply, he laughed sinisterly. “Since I must die today, you can forget about getting the Six Desires Secret Manual!”
Before he finished his sentence, his spirit wrapped around the jade slip and became volatile. He was planning to self-destruct.
“How dare you!!” Fairy Li had a lofty status in the Deep Sea Sect and had chased all the way to Deer Spring City for the sake of this cultivation technique that was rumored to be able to change her foundation, break her core and form her Nascent Soul. How could she tolerate working for nothing?
Although she knew that the power of a Core Formation cultivator’s soul self-destruction was extraordinary, she never thought of turning back.
At the same time, the wind chime on her body rang loudly. Layers of complicated patterns surfaced on her fair skin. She reached out her hand to forcefully rip open Luo Qiao’s spirit before grabbing the jade slip.
Right when she grabbed the jade slip, Luo Qiao’s spirit exploded.
After a while, the small hill disappeared. There were only three holes left at the landmark that Pei Ling had mentioned at the bottom of the hill. The area within a few miles had become cratered, with some areas even revealing damaged rocks.
It was sufficient to display the terror of a Core Formation cultivator’s spirit exploding.
“Cough, cough cough…” Fairy Li slowly descended from the sky. As soon as she landed, she could not help but cough. Then, she used her sleeve to cover her face as she spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, she did not pay too much attention to her injuries at the moment. Luo Qiao had already died and there was nothing that could threaten her in this tiny Deer Spring City, so she hurriedly checked the condition of the jade slip.
Despite her best to protect the jade slip, it still cracked.
Fairy Li frowned. With her experience, she knew that it would affect the cultivation technique within. Although it would not be ruined just like that, she had to return to the sect and find someone to repair it before she could obtain the Six Desires Secret Manual.
Even though it was more troublesome than expected, at least she had achieved her goal. Fairy Li coughed a few more times and kept the jade slip. Her black veil dress moved slightly, and she disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.
After a while, Fairy Li appeared in the courtyard just like how she left.
She endured the self-destruction of the soul of a Core Formation cultivator and rushed back to the Pei residence. Even though she was a top genius disciple in the Deep Sea Sect, she could not help but feel weak at the moment.
She coughed again as soon as she landed on the ground. With a wave of his hand, she hung the wind chime back on the temple eaves and walked inside quickly.
Immediately, the door closed by itself without any wind.
In the room, Fairy Li sat on the bed and swallowed a medicinal pill before circulating her cultivation to treat her injuries.
She was in a hurry to stabilize her injuries before returning to the Deep Sea Sect to repair the jade slip. She had long forgotten about Pei Ling. After all, he was only a small collateral descendant of the Pei family.
Even the Pei family’s eldest son, Pei Hongnian, was a dog in front of her.
No, he was worse than a dog.
After all, only someone like Zheng Jingshan was a proper dog.
Meanwhile, Pei Hongnian would at most be Zheng Jingshan’s dog.
As for Pei Ling, in Fairy Li’s opinion, he was not even comparable to Pei Hongnian, so there was nothing worth mentioning about him.
Therefore, even if her negligence caused Pei Ling to die under the hands of the Rakshasa Painting, it could only be said that it was Pei Ling’s fate.
What did it have to do with her?
At this moment, Pei Ling had also forgotten about Fairy Li. Just as he was feeling the cultivation of the new cultivation technique, the system suddenly rang. “Ding Dong! The nameless cultivation method requires dual cultivation. You can only continue cultivating if you have a Dao companion…”
Huh??
“Ding-dong!” the system said mechanically. “Detected that the host lacks a Dao Partner, the system will give you a Dao Partner for free…”
The next moment, Pei Ling watched as his body stopped cultivating. He grabbed the pellet by his side and stood up. Then, he strode over to open the door and rushed out at a speed that far surpassed his current cultivation level.
“System??” Pei Ling was about to explode. He could not help but scream in his mind, “You better stop right now! Do you even f*cking know where this is? The women here are either my sisters or my brothers’ and uncles’ wives!”
Pei Ling finally understood that this retarded system would never rest until he got killed!
Just as Pei Ling was racking his brains to think of how to clean up the mess after his family found out, he realized something that terrified him to the point of death: he had arrived at the Jade Parasol Compound again!
He entered the compound once again!
The system did not pay attention to the upper room and the residence of the maidservants in front of him. Instead, it followed the route that Pei Xuan had taken Pei Ling to previously and headed for the backyard!
Outside the temple, the wind chime at the eaves rang suddenly.
Fairy Li sensed the commotion from inside and frowned slightly. She realized that Pei Ling was running madly towards her.
“Oh, I almost forgot.” Fairy Li realized. She had agreed to resolve the threat of the Scarlet Bone Rakshasa Painting for Pei Ling after obtaining the jade slip. However, she forgot about it as she was busy recovering from the explosion.
Now that Pei Ling had broken in without any regard for the rules and even slammed on the door, he was probably unable to hold on anymore.
At the thought of this, Fairy Li stopped recuperating temporarily and said, “I…”
However, before she could finish his words, the door to the apartment got kicked open!
Right on the heels of that, Pei Ling’s eyes were filled with anxiety and anger, but his expression was otherwise calm as he stepped into the room. Fairy Li understood that he was in danger, which explained his disrespectful actions. Just as she was about to berate him, little did she know that the moment Pei Ling entered the room, he would throw a pellet at her door.
The pellet exploded into powder in midair, enveloping the entire room instantly.
Seven Ultimate Soul Subduing Powder! Fairy Li was shocked. It was the trump card of Luo Qiao’s faction. She had thought that it would have been used during the faction’s escape, but it had actually fallen into Pei Ling’s hands.
If it were any other time, such a method would not be able to harm her naturally. However, not long ago, to protect the jade slip containing the Six Desires Secret Manual, she had just borne the brunt of Luo Qiao’s spirit self-destruction. Her physical body and soul had been severely injured. At this moment, she was at her weakest. She thought that Pei Ling came to seek help, but she could never expect that a mere collateral descendant of the Pei family at the third level of Qi Refinement would dare to attack her.
Shock and anger flashed through Fairy Li’s eyes, but she did not have the chance to say a word before she collapsed!
