Chapter 13: 13

Pei Ling forced himself to calm down. Since these two female ghosts wanted to watch the show, they would probably not notice him after it.

With this thought, he immediately decided to admit defeat after one attempt.

After all, no matter how good the Life-Extinguishing Blade was, it was not as important as his life. Besides, Pei Hongnian had been in the fourth level of Qi Refinement for some time. Just now, he could not move the Life-Extinguishing Blade at all no matter what he did. Clearly, 20% of the power of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm was a world of difference compared to their current cultivation level.

He had just entered the fourth level of the Qi Refinement realm. Why would he waste his energy?

Therefore, Pei Ling stretched out his left hand and grabbed the hilt of the Life-Extinguishing Blade, exerting his strength slightly.

Zheng Jingshan frowned at the sight of this. Although he had only taken out the Life-Extinguishing Blade to test Pei Ling’s strength and not reward him sincerely, Pei Ling’s cultivation level was only at the fourth level of Qi Refinement. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to pull the Life-Extinguishing Blade out of his fingers with all his might, much less with one hand.

And it was with his injured left arm!

However, before he knew it, a force that exceeded his expectations suddenly came from the handle of the knife. The blade of the Life-Extinguishing Blade moved slightly toward Pei Ling and almost got pulled away.

Zheng Jingshan was shocked as he looked at Pei Ling in a different light. Pei Ling using an injured left arm, was already much stronger than Pei Hongnian, a disciple at the fourth level of Qi Refinement for a long time?!

No, it was impossible for a normal cultivator at the fourth stage of the Qi Refinement realm to have so much strength!

So that was how it was. No wonder this boy could obtain Senior Sister’s favor!

He was shocked and uncertain, but he did not hesitate to apply more strength to regain control of the Life-Extinguishing Blade again. It was not that Zheng Jingshan was afraid of losing, nor was he afraid that he would really reward the Life-Extinguishing Blade. Instead, Pei Ling was only using his injured left hand to pull out the blade. If Pei Ling succeeded, where would his dignity as the inner sect master of the Deep Sea Sect go?

Pei Ling did not know what was going on. He glanced at his left sleeve calmly. His wound that had just healed had ruptured, and blood had drenched his sleeve. It was a gruesome sight to see. Still, the Life-Extinguishing Blade only came out a tiny bit. After that, it did not move an inch like a boulder… It was about time.

With that thought, he couldn’t care less about the pain. He took a few deep breaths to show that he was exhausted. Then, he took two steps back and knelt on the ground. “Immortal Master Zheng, your level is beyond imagination. I’m afraid that I can’t compare to you! This Life-Extinguishing Blade is not something we are worthy of wielding. Please take it back.”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jingshan’s expression relaxed a little. Just as he was about to speak, Jiao Ni, who had claimed that she was here to watch the show, suddenly sighed and said, “There can only be one useless person on the Dark Bone Phantom Boat. Pei Hongnian has already occupied this spot. This young master, what are you going to do?”

Pei Ling’s heart sank when he heard this. Indeed, the female ghost continued, “Why don’t you let me peel off your skin nicely so I can change the old lampshade in our master’s room to a new one? That’s putting waste to good use, right?”

Holy shit!

Does your master know how vicious you are?!

Your master did not even touch me!

Pei Ling took a deep breath and clenched the Essence Augmenting Pill tightly in his hand. Sensing Jiao Ni’s undisguised malice, he felt his hair stand on end.

He had only just entered the fourth level of Qi Refinement. In terms of ability, he felt that he was inferior to Pei Hongnian. Pei Hongnian had already tried his best but could not pull out the Life-Extinguishing Blade. Even if he did his best, how could he possibly change the outcome?!

The female ghost was out to kill him!

Pei Ling was terrified. He immediately made up his mind and circulated his Qi, preparing to fight to the death.

Miss Wuliu suddenly said softly, “Sister, don’t be like this. After all, Young Master Pei Ling has always been in Deer Spring City. How can his abilities be compared to the disciples of the Holy Sect in such a desolate place? Plus, Zheng Jingshan is in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment. Even if he used two fingers and 20% of his strength, it’s still too difficult for this young master! In my opinion, why don’t we let Zheng Jingshan restrain himself a little more and use 15% of his cultivation?”

Jiao Ni glanced at her and saw Wu Liu smiling sweetly at her. With a thought, she said, “As you wish.”

Hearing this, Pei Ling could not help but look at Wu Liu gratefully. “Thank you, Miss Wu Liu.”

Although he was worried that even if Zheng Jingshan only used 15% of his cultivation, he might not be able to extract it himself, no matter what, losing 5% of strength gave him some hope of survival! For a moment in his eyes, Wu Liu’s pale countenance seemed amiable.

“No need to thank me.” Wu Liu tilted her head slightly and gave him a friendly smile, “You can do it, Young Master Pei Ling. Otherwise, you will only become a lampshade for Sister Jiao Ni.”

“Yes.” Pei Ling secretly glanced at Jiao Ni and saw that this female ghost was sizing him up from head to toe with an icy gaze as if she was considering where to start skinning him. His scalp turned numb, and he hurriedly composed himself, thinking quickly about how to deal with the Essence Augmenting Pill.

Not mentioning Wu Liu, Jiao Ni was clearly up to no good. If they discovered their master’s Essence Augmenting Pill… the consequences would be unimaginable!

In the critical moment, Pei Ling suddenly thought of something. He suddenly tore open his outer clothes and nimbly took them off. He conveniently wrapped the Essence Augmenting Pill inside the clothes and threw it on the deck not far away.

After doing this, he endured his intense heartbeat and observed his surroundings from the corner of his eye. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was paying attention to the outer clothes he had thrown on the deck. He then naturally loosened up his Qi, ignoring the blood still flowing from his left arm. He stepped forward and grabbed the hilt of his saber with both hands, holding his breath.

Zheng Jingshan’s eyes sparkled. Of course, he could not really do as Wu Liu said to use only 15% of his strength. In fact, he believed that even with 30% of his power, if Pei Ling spared no effort, he was not sure whether he could keep the Life-Extinguishing Blade.

He was wondering whether Jiao Ni and Wu Liu’s words were on their own initiative or his senior sister’s decision.

If it was the Senior Sister’s intention…

Should he quietly increase the difficulty or let Pei Ling pass?

Just as he was considering whether to adjust his strength to 40% to test the boy’s limits, he suddenly saw Jiao Ni and Wu Liu’s lips curl up slightly as they looked at him with their dark soulless eyes.

His heart palpitated, and he immediately gave up on the idea of tampering with the test.

Right then, Pei Ling channeled all his strength, circulated his Qi at full speed, and jerked it back.

The Life-Extinguishing Blade only froze for a brief moment before it was pulled out of Zheng Jingshan’s fingers. Pei Ling staggered back by two steps before he could steady himself as he looked slightly startled.

So easy?

He could not believe it. After all, Pei Hongnian had used all his strength earlier, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree.

Although Zheng Jingshan had reduced the difficulty after Wuliu’s intervention, he was prepared to try again and again to draw the Life-Extinguishing Blade bit by bit.

He could never imagine actually succeeding in just a moment.

Pei Ling held the saber in his hand and was confused for a moment before he looked at Zheng Jingshan.

Zheng Jingshan had a complicated expression on his face. He looked at the Life-Extinguishing Blade in Pei Ling’s hand with a trace of reluctance. When he noticed Pei Ling’s gaze, he immediately put on a straight face and said, “This Life-Extinguishing Blade is the weapon I used back in the outer sect. Since it’s in your hand now, I hope you can train diligently and not stain its good name.”

“Yes!” Pei Ling hurriedly bowed. “Thank you for the reward, Immortal Master. I won’t let you down!”

Zheng Jingshan’s approval did not reassure him completely. Pei Ling then turned to Jiao Ni and Wu Liu, the two ghost maids, to see Jiao Ni smile at him. She covered her mouth and said, “Alright, you can enter the cabin to rest. After settling you guys down, we still have to serve our master!”

It seemed like he had passed this test.

Pei Ling discreetly wiped off his cold sweat while watching Jiao Ni lead Zheng Jingshan and Pei Hongnian into the cabin. He hurriedly rushed over to pick up his outer clothes and patted them down quietly. After confirming that the Essence Augmenting Pill was still inside, he breathed a sigh of relief and followed obediently.

As soon as he stepped into the cabin, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Fortunately, although the chill was similar to when the two ghost maids appeared, it was still tolerable.

What entered his view was a dark pathway with no end in sight. There were dull blue lights every few steps on the two cabin walls. Not only did they not dispel the discomfort caused by the darkness, but they also added a spooky feel to the atmosphere.

After walking for about ten feet, doors began to appear on both sides.

Those doors were drenched in a dark red color as if blood had dried up. There were many talismans drawn on them as if they were sealing something. There were a few doors that might have heard the footsteps outside. There was a muffled knocking sound coming from within, and the force was so great that it seemed possible to break through the door at any moment.

There were a few more doors that looked ordinary when Zheng Jingshan and Pei Hongnian passed by. However, when Pei Ling’s turn came, a pair of blood-colored eyes suddenly opened on the door and stared at him with ill intent. Even a few blood-colored vines extended out like the Scarlet Bone Rakshasa Painting, attempting to wrap around Pei Ling and drag him behind the door.

“Back down!” It was Wu Liu who shouted. Only then did the vines unwillingly wave a few times and silently shrink back.

After a while, Wu Liu opened a cabin door for Pei Ling, revealing a simple and spacious room. Pei Ling felt that the shirt at his back was already soaked in sweat.

He walked in, turned around, and thanked her sincerely, “Thank you, Miss Wuliu.”

“No problem.” Willow’s dark eyes stared straight at him, but she did not intend to turn around and leave. Instead, she said softly, “Young Master Pei Ling. Can I ask you a question?”

Pei Ling did not understand and said cautiously, “By all means, Miss. I will tell you everything I know.”

Wu Liu nodded with a smile and suddenly hovered in front of him. She was so close that she was almost touching the tip of his nose!

Her dark eyes stared straight at Pei Ling as her extra cold fingers touched his neck. She said coldly, “Young Master Pei Ling, why does your body smell like my master?”

Pei Ling’s pupils constricted abruptly, and his hair stood on end.. At the same time, a layer of black mist suddenly rose inside the cabin and surrounded him like water clouds, sending a chill down his spine!
