Xie Lian said, "General Pei... that formation is guarding the resentful spirits pouring out of the Bronze Furnace. Once it breaks, the third wave of the human face plague will erupt, and I'm afraid..."
He was afraid it would bring chaos to the world, causing suffering to countless lives.
Pei Ming rubbed his nose and said, "Let me confirm, you... aren't giving me any other choice, right?"
Jun Wu replied, "Of course there is. If you go down, I will release you; if you don’t go down, I will release them."
Them?
Xuan Ji, Rong Guang, and Ke Mo!
The three ghosts beside them looked on with hungry green lights in their eyes, one could imagine what would happen if they were released.
To be strangled, clawed to death, stabbed, or beaten to death—pick one, or all.
Jun Wu continued, "Little Pei is here too. I think you value this junior of yours. After all, for his sake, you once concealed the fact that you risked your life by leading people into the Half Moon Pass."
Rong Guang was furious at these words and cursed Pei Ming for being ungrateful, wanting to prioritize a descendant over his brothers, while Xuan Ji muttered something bitterly beside him.
Pei Ming endured the cacophony, pondering for a long while before sighing, "Can you allow me to think about it a bit more?"
