After confirming that Jin Sumian was fine and agreeing to go on a mission for her the next day, Pei Ling took the time to return to the alchemy room to retrieve the Yansheng knife and other belongings.

Early the next morning, he had just finished a trusteeship practice when Lu Luqiang's voice came from outside the cave: "It's time to set off."

He quickly took Jin Sumian's nameplate and walked out. He saw Lu Luqiang standing on the lantern with a cold face, "Come up."

"I told Senior Brother Zhang Shuo yesterday about your participation in this mission on behalf of Junior Sister." After Pei Ling stepped onto the lantern, Lu Luqiang took out the nameplate and asked him to take over the mission, and then made a secret key to make the lantern face the southwest.

He flew away, looked ahead, and said without looking at Pei Ling, "Senior Brother Zhang Shuo and several fellow disciples were not very happy. In the end, it was for the sake of Junior Sister Jin that they agreed to your joining."

"So later someone may want to see your strength, so don't hold back."

"Our Holy Sect has always respected the strong."

"The stronger you are, the more benefits you will receive when the time comes."

"Don't embarrass Junior Sister Jin."

Pei Ling nodded: "Thank you, senior sister, for the tip."

Lu Luqiang maintained her aloofness for a while, but when she saw that Pei Ling remained silent, she finally couldn't hold it back: "When did you and Junior Sister Jin meet?"

More than a month ago…

You were also present.

"It's been a while." Pei Ling said calmly, "Sumian is a very good girl."

Lu Luqiang sneered: "Of course."

She looked very displeased at Pei Ling now, and she couldn't say anything. She felt depressed. She didn't wait until the lantern fell on a spacious cliff, and then she said coldly: "We're here."

Pei Ling had never been to the peak where this cliff is located. He saw that the entire peak was covered with lush vegetation, and rare and exotic animals appeared from time to time.

There is especially a kind of red-tailed tit with green eyes in the forest. It has bright and cute feathers. It flies in the forest, and the chirping of birds complements the gurgling clear spring, making it even more tranquil.

However, the cliff they were on was barren of grass, and there were countless knife marks on the ground.

Pei Ling followed Lu Luqiang down from the lantern, and suddenly there were a few more holes in her robe, and the skin inside the holes also felt a slight sting.

He couldn't help but be startled, and quickly looked around, but saw no enemy.

"This is Mingbian Cliff." Lu Luqiang saw his movements, sneered, and said, "A senior of our Holy Sect once practiced the Hanming Sword Technique here. Over time, the sword intent spread into the cliff, and not only the vegetation could not survive.

, the remaining sword energy will also be attracted by monks who also practice sword skills."

"In the early years, even inner swordsmen would come here specifically to meditate."

"This place is very famous in the outside world, especially among the monks who practice swordsmanship. There are almost no monks who don't know about it."

She said calmly, "But you don't seem to know?"

Pei Ling frowned slightly and was about to speak when someone not far away suddenly said: "Junior Sister Lu, this happened a long time ago. Nowadays, there is not even a tenth sword spirit left here. Even sword cultivators in the Qi training period can't."

Very few people come here specifically.”

The two of them followed the sound and saw a burly man in red robes striding up to meet him. As he walked, he said, "This is the junior brother who came here on behalf of Junior Sister Jin? He can reach the seventh level of Qi training without seeing any blood. It seems that he is quite capable."

"

"This is senior brother Zhang Shuo." Lu Luqiang introduced, "Senior brother Zhang Shuo has reached the ninth level of Qi training and is only one step away from foundation building."

Then he introduced Zhang Shuo, "This is... By the way, what's your name?"

Pei Ling's heart moved. Nine levels of Qi training?

Doesn’t this task only require Qi training above the sixth level?

Why do disciples from the ninth level of Qi training come?

He suppressed the doubts in his heart and said respectfully: "Hello, Senior Brother Zhang, my name is Pei Ling."

"It turns out to be Junior Brother Pei." Zhang Shuo looked at him carefully and secretly quickly recalled whether he had ever heard of such a number one person in the outer sect.

...I have no impression at all.

It seems that he is probably a pretty boy who only eats soft rice.

Thinking of this, his expression calmed down and he said to Lu Luqiang: "Junior Brother Zhao, Junior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister Wang are all here. Now we are left with Junior Brother Xu and Junior Sister Li. We are waiting in the pavilion over there, and you guys will join us."

Go over there."

After descending from Mingren Cliff, there is a path paved with gravel.

There are large bamboo forests on both sides of the path, with thousands of green poles and thick sword leaves.

There is also a clear stream flowing quietly along the path on the left. After walking forward for more than ten feet, there is a small bridge across the stream. Opposite the bridge, an octagonal pavilion stands.

A skull wind chime hangs on the eight corners of the pavilion, swaying gently in the soft wind, making a pleasant crisp sound.

The base of the pavilion is engraved with countless ghostly patterns, which are hideous and terrifying.

At this moment, three monks were sitting in the pavilion.

Seeing Zhang Shuo coming in with Lu Luqiang and Pei Ling, he hurriedly stood up to greet them.

"Junior Brother Xu and Junior Sister Li live far away. We haven't arrived yet, so we'll wait a little longer." Zhang Shuo said to them, "The person next to Junior Sister Lu is Junior Brother Pei Lingpei who went to Han's Villa with us on behalf of Junior Sister Jin."

The three monks glanced at Pei Ling and frowned when they found that he was only at the seventh level of Qi training.

Pei Ling was secretly shocked: Three Qi practitioners at the eighth level!

Including Zhang Shuo and Lu Luqiang, there is a ninth-level Qi practitioner who can build a foundation in half a step, and four eighth-level Qi practitioners... Moreover, there are two monks in this team who are not present. Judging from the attitude of everyone towards him,

From the looks of it, the two people who didn't come are probably at least the eighth level of Qi training.

Why do so many experts go to the mission of Han's Villa?

"Junior sister Lu, you're here." After the meaningful greetings, everyone ignored Pei Ling and only talked to Lu Luqiang, "I heard that your golden-winged red-threaded centipede has shed its shell again recently?"

Seeing Lu Luqiang nodding, the female cultivator surnamed Wang relaxed obviously and said: "That's good, the golden-winged red-threaded centipede is good at swallowing ghosts and ghosts. Coupled with the strength of Senior Brother Zhang, among the current five teams,

, we still have a great advantage.”

Pei Ling: "!?"

What?

Five teams?

Isn’t their lineup already crushing the mission of Han’s Villa?

grass.

Could it be another underworld mission???

Just as he was thinking this, the man in gray robe among the two eighth-level Qi practitioners sighed and said: "Junior sister Wang, you are too optimistic. I just received the news that in the past night

, the other four teams are not idle."

"For example, Senior Brother Bai Kuang's team borrowed a poisonous fire and blood dragon staff from Senior Brother Inner Sect, and except for Senior Brother Bai Kuang, everyone else's cultivation is above the eighth level of Qi training!"

"Senior Sister Guan Xuerui's team has a demon pet with a ninth level of wisdom, and the others are all above the eighth level of Qi training!"

"Although Senior Brother Jiao Pu and the others have neither borrowed magic weapons nor demon pets, two hours ago, Senior Brother Jiao persuaded Senior Brother Lu Fujiang, who is also at the ninth level of Qi training, to act together. In other words, their team is enough

There are two people who are at the ninth level of Qi training."

"Needless to say, Senior Brother Tang Nanzhai's team. Senior Brother Tang himself has entered the Gu Abyss to fight demons and ghosts since the sixth level of Qi training. All his techniques were trained on the line between life and death, and he is almost invincible in the same situation! And Tang

Senior brother's teammate, we have cooperated with him for many years on the Guyuan battlefield, and the tacit understanding honed in the bloody sea of ​​corpses is simply not comparable to that of a temporary team like ours."

The gray-robed male cultivator sighed again, "So we still can't take it lightly!"

Pei Ling: "..."

Is it too late for me to quit now?
