At that, Pei Ling shook his head. "I don't need your life, Senior. Besides, you have no chance of winning this battle."
"Even if you have a method like City Lord Tie's Seven Kill Calamity Banner, it won't make a difference."
"I'm stronger now than I was when I fought City Lord Tie!"
Meng Hongxuan looked slightly surprised, but quickly returned to normal. Then she asked, "What do you want?"
Pei Ling said, "I don't lack anything right now, Senior. Please, make your move."
Meng Hongxuan furrowed her delicate brows and thought it over carefully. Before long, she said, "I already owe you a life. I can't owe you any more."
"Back at You Su Fen, you used a technique on both me and Huan Yunzhen of the Cold Abyss Sword Sect..."
"Although the method you used on me hasn't been dispelled yet, after rebuilding my body, my cultivation has nearly returned to its former peak."
"Now that the laws are holding it in check, that method won't affect me again."
"Next, if you win, I'll grant your wish."
Pei Ling listened and paused in surprise. The method he'd used on Meng Hongxuan back then was the Great Evolution Curse of Inner Demons, cast by sacrificing Su Xirou's duplicate.
