Chapter 882: Betrayal
"Xu Hongshang."
"The Pei Clan."
"..."
Tu Shan Jun was somewhat surprised that Meng Zhi was so interested in those former banner masters, but he did not begrudge him the details and told him everything he knew.
Especially the part concerning the Pei Clan.
"Third Sister..."
Speaking of that episode, Tu Shan Jun pondered for a long while.
He was not a fool. He could clearly feel Third Sister's feelings for him, yet he had played dumb for hundreds of years.
He had merely been willing to be a coward.
"..."
Meng Zhi sat cross-legged beneath the tree, quietly analyzing that past.
In his view, if that great cultivator had coveted Xu Hongshang's Dao body or immortal body, then perhaps they would not have allowed Xu Hongshang to die.
In other words, Xu Hongshang had been stripped from the Soul Banner while still alive.
The one who acted had been a great cultivator.
It was said that their strength even surpassed a Dao Lord's.
"If an attack launched across such a distance could display less than one percent of its power, yet still strip away a banner master, then could cultivators at the Dao Lord realm strip away a banner master as well?"
Meng Zhi pondered.
He had to act quickly. Otherwise, once his master advanced the Soul Banner into a sacred weapon, it would surely lock him in completely.
At that point, even a Dao Lord might not be able to strip him free. It would require a great cultivator to act, but how could he possibly persuade one to help him?
That was precisely why he had to seize this gap before the soul banner advanced.
Tu Shan Jun said, "That is why I do not want you entangled with great sects and powerful clans."
