Pei Ling's brow furrowed at once. Si Hong Miaoli's tone was... very wrong!
Besides, he was a Myriad Tribulation Deity Transformation cultivator, while Si Hong Miaoli was merely a Nascent Soul cultivator, and only a mid-grade Immortal Infant at that. Yet when she had just made her move, he hadn't managed to stop her in time?!
At the thought, Pei Ling immediately tested the waters. "Who are you?"
Si Hong Miaoli's face was expressionless. The aura around her abruptly surged, as if an endless tide of Blood Fiend Qi were spreading outward. Her cultivation level skyrocketed at an unbelievable speed!
Soon, her body reached its limit. Her skin, once fair as frost and snow, split with streaks of blood-red cracks, and fresh blood slowly seeped out.
Only then did that ancient, weighty Blood Fiend Qi stop growing.
She slowly raised her head and spoke in an aged voice Pei Ling had never heard before. "My name is Si Hong Hanrong."
"I am the Si Hong Clan's Old Ancestor on duty for this century, from the Fu Guang Si Hong Clan."
"The ceremony has only just ended, and the Holy Son has already entered Deity Transformation. The Sacred Sect is truly destined to prosper."
Old Ancestor Si Hong?!
Pei Ling was startled, but quickly understood. Du'e Abyss was where the Five Righteous Sects kept their most important prisoners.
To ensure nothing went wrong, even a Section Chief of the "Yellow" district here had a Deity Transformation Realm cultivation.
Si Hong Miaoli, on the other hand, had only just entered the Nascent Soul stage. What was more, she had already failed once at the Liulan Dynasty's Pill Refining Grand Ceremony.
With such a dangerous mission, one that concerned the Si Hong Clan's interests, how could they possibly have trusted Si Hong Miaoli
