Who would have thought that Pei Luotian would actually smile and say, "I know."
"But you died too."
"Didn't you?"
"Those who kill will eventually be killed."
"Must only the dead of my Pei family count as dead, while your death does not?"
"I see no such reasoning."
"If you truly feel guilty, then agree to an arrangement with this old man."
"What arrangement?"
"If one day you become powerful enough to lend the Pei clan a hand, I hope you will act once."
"What if I die?"
"If you die on the road to immortality..."
"Then I suppose we can only lament how fate toys with men."
Pei Luotian nodded slightly.
The path of cultivation had always been cruel.
Even this person before him... no, he could hardly be called a person. He was more like an artifact spirit, the artifact spirit of a Dao weapon—the Main Soul of that Soul Banner.
Even as an artifact spirit, he did not dare guarantee that he could attain immortality. Perhaps they stood closer to immortals and possessed a road they could walk for a long, long time, yet they still were not immortals.
Therefore, no one's death would be surprising.
Death was silent and cool.
"Senior, do you think I will definitely honor this agreement?"
"Aren't you afraid that once I grow stronger, I'll kick you when you're down instead?"
"You won't."
"Why?"
"Someone said you wouldn't."
Tu Shan Jun stared at Pei Luotian's retreating back in surprise and asked, "Who?"
Pei Luotian smiled and turned his gaze toward Third Mother beside him.
"Third Mother?"
Tu Shan Jun was deeply puzzled.
If Third Mother had been able to contact the Pei ancestor long ago, she would not have fallen into such straits.
It was true that the ancestor did not interfere
