A Chance to Stay Alive

"I am an inspector dispatched by the sect. If you dare kill me, the sect will not let you off," Chen Feihe said.

Gongsun Jian wore an expression of absolute confidence as he spoke leisurely.

"Rest assured, my Gongsun Family will not kill you. However, many guests can testify that you attacked and ambushed the younger brother of the next Nascent Soul patriarch of the Corpse Demon Sect. Tell me, would those Golden Core elders of the Corpse Demon Sect order your execution in order to curry favor with my elder sister?"

Chen Feihe's anger instantly vanished, and his face turned deathly pale.

"What benefit is there in killing me?"

Gongsun Jian sneered. "I want every Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Corpse Demon Sect to understand that whoever dares come to my Gongsun Family as some so-called inspector will end up just like you. You inspectors have been getting in the way, already hindering the growth of my Gongsun Family."

"Young Master Jian, please spare me. I merely came to carry out the sect's orders. During these years in the Gongsun Family, I have always acted with the utmost caution and have never offended anyone in the Gongsun Family. Even when mocked and insulted, I swallowed my anger," Chen Feihe said, his voice filled with deep sorrow and helplessness.

Gongsun Jian said, "If you must blame someone, blame your own bad luck for being sent to my Gongsun Family as an inspector."

Chen Feihe's expression turned dejected, as though he had resigned himself to fate and no longer wished to put up any futile resistance.

Pointing at Song Wen, he said, "Young Master Jian, you want to kill me only to kill the chicken and scare the monkeys. But this friend of mine has nothing to do with this matter.
