"This matter is already pressing upon us. How can it be delayed?" Qiluo said with some dissatisfaction.
Song Wen said, "But neither of us can think of any way to deal with it right now. What use is impatience?"
Qiluo looked somewhat helpless. "Fine, we'll set this matter aside for now. However, there is something else I need you to handle."
Song Wen said, "What is it?"
"Kill Shi Man." As Qiluo transmitted the message with her divine sense, her face became somewhat ferocious.
"Kill Shi Man!" A flicker of disbelief appeared in Song Wen's eyes. "Qiluo, why do you want to get rid of Shi Man? I am only in the Nascent Soul Realm. How could I possibly kill her? And your cultivation is above Shi Man's—why not do it yourself?"
Qiluo said, "I have a premonition that Shi Man has already developed the intention to kill me. Keeping her alive will eventually prove disastrous; it is better to strike first and gain the upper hand. Though my cultivation is higher than Shi Man's, I am not skilled in combat. If I act personally, I am not very confident that I can eliminate her."
Song Wen said, "Then I am even less capable of killing Shi Man."
Qiluo said, "I am not asking you to do it yourself. While you inquire about the Blood-Eyed Divine Ape, also investigate Shi Man's past. Find out whether she has any enemies in Phoenix Plume City. If you find them, reveal her whereabouts to them and let those enemies deal with Shi Man."
Song Wen said, "I will keep this matter in mind."
Qiluo nodded slightly, then took the initiative to end their divine-sense transmission and flew away.
Song Wen also took to the air, heading for Phoenix Plume City.
