Black mist filled the Demonic Sword Cultivator's eyes. With one swing of the Demonic Sword, he scattered the Crimson Spiritual Light. "You swallowed every curse and turned yourself into a false Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator. Did you really think that would let you stand against me? Or have you considered what will happen after your Demonization? Even if you defeat me, how will you face the Mortal World? This world will merely trade one ruler for another. What difference does it make whether that ruler is you or me?"
It was an obvious attempt to sow discord, but people were susceptible to such things. In an instant, many of those present began looking at Pei Ling differently. Their attention had been fixed on the Demonic Sword Cultivator, so they had failed to notice anything strange about Pei Ling. Now that they looked again, the bloody aura around him had been suppressed by Qiao Ranran's presence, but something even more unsettling had come to light.

It was the Mighty Pressure of a High-Rank Cultivator, even stronger than that of the Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence Stage Demonic Cultivator before them.
So Pei Ling had already reached the Tribulation Transcendence Stage?
The realization drained the color from their faces. If, as the Demonic Sword Cultivator had said, Pei Ling had truly undergone Demonization, what a threat he would be to the Mortal World! A Tribulation Transcendence Stage Demonic Cultivator could destroy every last one of them.
Even if he appeared to be at odds with the other Demonic Cultivators, that did not mean he stood with them.
