However, upon closer inspection, Su Lijing's aura was only at the Void Return Stage—and this wasn't his Main Body, but one of his avatars!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
At that moment, Escape Lights swept through the air. Fu Xuanxu and the other three caught up and landed behind Pei Ling and the others.
"Holy Son Pei, about this matter..." Fu Xuanxu began, but abruptly stopped. His gaze fell on Su Lijing's avatar.
Zhong Kui Yueji, Ning Wuye, and Yan Minghua all frowned as they stared at Su Lijing's avatar.
Li Lieyue reacted swiftly and asked coldly, "Li Lieyue, Current Saintess of the Jiu A Li Clan, greets the Sect Master. May I ask why you have suddenly come here?"
Su Lijing's avatar wore a placid expression. His gaze swept over Li Lieyue before quickly settling on Pei Ling. Calmly, he said, "I remember that I didn't pass the [Mahasattva Color Derivation Scroll] on to you during the Long Bo War King's inheritance. Where, then, did you learn this cultivation technique?"
Naturally, the system had forcibly recorded it...
With that thought, Pei Ling wasted no time. "Senior Sister Li, leave first. The Sect Master and I have some private matters to discuss."
Then he added, "The four of you, too."
Hearing this, Li Lieyue stood rooted to the spot, showing no intention of leaving.
Fu Xuanxu and the other three frowned. They had an inkling of what was going on, but they still hadn't figured out Pei Ling's connection to the [Flag of Punishing Evil]. Besides, they had just fought alongside him for a short time...
After hesitating, the four of them said nothing, but none intended to leave.
Watching this, Su Lijing's avatar remained utterly impassive.
Though it was only an avatar, there was little difference between killing one junior
