Half an hour later, Yu Ling had already taken the tied-up Xie Huaishan to Diyingtang, and immediately asked to see Pei Tianling without saying a word.

"What are you doing?" Pei Tianling happened to have nothing urgent to do. He appeared in front of Yu Ling after a while, and was very shocked by the scene in front of him.

Xie Huaishan, who was tied into a rice dumpling, let out an angry "whimper" twice, but the rag stuck in his mouth was so tight that he couldn't vomit no matter how hard he vomited.

Yu Ling solemnly accused: "Dark King, I accidentally discovered a secret meeting between Xie Huaishan and Xie Zian today. I felt that there must be a conspiracy in this matter, so I agreed to Xie Zian's invitation to see what the two of them were doing. It turned out that

Zian is quite smart. He said something and then left, so I didn't catch any evidence. So I brought Xie Huaishan over and let the Dark King find out the truth himself."

Xie Huaishan was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke. He struggled desperately and expressed his strongest protest with fire-breathing eyes.

Pei Tianling couldn't laugh or cry, and at the same time he was a little confused: "You are not his opponent, are you?"

"The realm of soul power is naturally incomparable, but I used the Burning Fist to make a sneak attack." Yu Ling said very "embarrassedly".

"This is a misunderstanding. He came into contact with Xie Zian on my order." Pei Tianling explained, took out the long knife and brushed it a few times, then cut the ropes on Xie Huaishan's body with great precision, without even scratching his clothes.

break.

Xie Huaishan ripped off the rag in his mouth, as if he had eaten a dead fly, and his face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water. Even if the Guitong Sect was not very particular about grace and cleanliness, he could not bear this kind of insult.

"Dark King, I..." Xie Huaishan had just said three words when Yu Ling turned to look at him and apologized very sincerely: "So that's it. I'm really sorry. I misunderstood you."

"I pretended that something big happened, please save me some trouble in the future." Pei Tianling was obviously speechless.

"No, Dark King, he..." Xie Huaishan spoke faster this time, but Yu Ling interrupted again: "I know, next time I won't undermine my own people."

"I..." Xie Huaishan was so depressed that he almost vomited blood. He was not good at dealing with people and preferred to use violence to solve problems directly. So in a moment of rage, he couldn't help but mobilize 100% of his soul power and suddenly pressed down on Yu Ling.

go.

Yu Ling wholeheartedly protected the soul sea and did not fight back. Pei Tianling, on the other hand, gave Xie Huaishan a cold look and said, "Okay, let's end this matter without causing any trouble."

"But..." Xie Huaishan felt that a breath was stuck in his throat and he could not swallow it, almost suffocating him to death.

"Stay back." Pei Tianling just waved his hand and said.

Xie Huaishan glanced at Yu Ling resentfully, and finally floated out of the room silently.

Yu Ling is not worried about Xie Huaishan's revenge. Anyway, after the annual meeting in the past few days, he will have to stay on Diyan Mountain for a long time. If no one protects him, a pure soul master like Xie Huaishan will not be able to even approach the foot of the mountain.

"You are quite courageous." Pei Tianling said calmly as soon as Xie Huaishan left.

"I can't help it. When I saw the two of them getting together, I thought Xie Huaishan had betrayed the Dark King, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding." Yu Ling pretended not to understand what Pei Tianling meant.

Pei Tianling snorted coldly. Although he had some doubts about Yu Ling's intentions, he could not find any obvious fault. This young man, who was much younger than him, was completely inexperienced, making it difficult to tell whether his words were true or false.

Pei Tianling simply gave up the meaningless temptation and said bluntly: "It's okay now. Xie Huaishan has already gained Xie Zian's initial trust. If you make such a fuss, all the previous efforts have been wasted."

"I was reckless in this matter, but Xie Zian's response also shows that he never really trusted Xie Huaishan from the beginning to the end." Yu Ling said.

Pei Tianling also knew what Yu Ling was talking about, that's why he looked so indifferent.

"How about I make amends for my past mistakes and explore Jie Zian's tone on behalf of Xie Huaishan?" Yu Ling said at the right moment.

"But now it's too late to play the trick." Pei Tianling was noncommittal.

Xie Zian suddenly left under that situation. The normal development result should have been that Yuling was regarded as a traitor by Xie Huaishan, and then he was imprisoned and interrogated by people from the local area. Then Jie Zian would send someone to rescue him in order to get Yuling.

of gratitude and allegiance.

What he didn't expect was that Xie Huaishan was defeated by Yu Ling and was tied up and dragged back to the ground. Although Yu Ling walked on an uninhabited path, there were always people who noticed this scene.

"There's no need to play a trick. Xie Zian can't hear our conversation. Just pretend everything never happened. He still won't give up wooing me, although I don't know the reason." Yu Ling said.

"The reason?" Pei Tianling sneered: "The reason is that the Ministry of Land has legitimately incorporated all soul masters into the system. What they need to do is irreplaceable and very helpful to the sect, so Xie Zian can never take it from me.

Important people. In fact, Peng Zhizhong and the others have been courted, but they were blocked by me. Before you, the ones he valued most were Jin Guyang and Huaiyao."

"Then why not let them..." Yu Ling said tentatively.

Pei Tianling said coldly: "Xie Huaishan has been with me for the longest time, so I trust him, and he is not pedantic and stupid, and will not be deceived by Xie Zian's rhetoric. But I have no confidence in other people, these simple people from the East.

Soul masters are easily infected by Xie Zian's so-called personality charm, and the gains outweigh the losses."

He paused and then said: "I originally thought about using poison or seals to control them, but Xie Zian can easily find out the clues, and he only needs to say a few words to the sect leader to get an antidote or help them.

Isn’t it easy to open a seal spell? Even if you make a blood oath, our Fire Refining Sect has more than a dozen ways to resolve it.”

Only then did Yu Ling understand why Pei Tianling never forced him to take poison or used other means to control him. It turned out that he was worried that such actions would force him to Xie Zian's side.

"By the way, the Dark King said before that he values ​​Jin Guyang and Huaiyao the most... Could it be because they are famous disciples? In comparison, they have more solid soul power and more exquisite soul skills?" Yu Ling asked again.

"Well, Zong Qi is Xie Zian's man. I only found out recently." Pei Tianling said calmly.

Yu Ling was slightly shocked and finally understood the inside story of this assassination.

The assassin was definitely sent by Pei Tianling, and it was Xie Huaishan who killed the female assassin after the failure. He used his soul power to remotely control the red line.

"If you don't know, I won't blame you randomly. On the contrary, through Zong Qi's line, you can also have a new relationship with Jie Zi'an, but remember to keep an eye on Jin Guyang and Jin Guyang for me." Pei Tianling said.

Yu Ling nodded. Pei Tianling finally decided to let him lurk with Xie Zian. However, such trust is not blind. After all, he holds Yu Ling's true identity. Once exposed, Xie Zian will not protect him.

Yu Ling, he will be dead when the time comes.

"There's one more thing..." Pei Tianling's expression suddenly changed midway through his words.

The temperature in the room suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees, and the walls in the corners of the room were covered with crystal ice flowers. With Yu Ling's current weak profound strength, he could only feel the coldness seeping into his bones, as if his thoughts had been frozen.

He clearly saw that Pei Tianling's face was covered with a thin layer of frost, and even his pupils seemed to have become cold and transparent.

Pei Tianling exhaled a breath of cold air, and sat cross-legged on the ground stiffly. His voice was like condensed ice and snow: "Help me protect the law and don't let anyone in."

After a brief moment of surprise, Yu Ling realized that this was the onset of the Jueyin in Pei Tianling's body.

The cold air was getting stronger and stronger, and Yu Ling was getting further and further away from Pei Tianling, but his eyes were always fixed on Pei Tianling.

This is the dark king's most vulnerable moment. All his profound strength has been destroyed by Jueyin. With only such a weak trace of guarding his heart, I am afraid that any strong warrior can easily kill him.
