Shitang Longsi heard Pei Yan's tease, shook his head, and showed a helpless smile: "Before your battle with Li Songtao, I indeed thought so and had even prepared to perish together with you, but after watching the fight, I know I'm not your match now. Recklessly making a move is just inviting death. I yearn to fight you to wash away my shame in the snow, but I'm not a fool."
"Haha, makes sense! I can agree with you." Pei Yan said, turning his head slightly, pondering for a moment, then said with a smile.
Shitang Longsi froze upon hearing this, puzzled: "What did you say?"
"I'm saying I can give you a break." Pei Yan nodded and promised.
Shitang Longsi, who hadn't expected Pei Yan to agree, found himself hesitating after Pei Yan gave a definite answer. Pei Yan saw his expression and smiled slightly: "Don't suspect I've set a trap for you. I agree to let you go, but there are conditions."
"What conditions?"
"Tell me where Mu Fanchen is!"
Shitang Longsi sneered and refused decisively: "Forget it, it's impossible!"
Pei Yan shrugged indifferently: "I knew you'd refuse. So I'll give you a second option: bring Bai Ze to me. This is your last chance to tell me the answer and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, we will fight to the death."
After a moment, seeing Shitang Longsi uncertainly hesitating, withholding a response, Pei Yan grew impatient and urged: "Come on, man, is it so hard to make a decision?"
"Making a decision isn't hard, I'm just thinking why you'd agree to let me leave. With the same answer, you could capture me like Li Songtao and naturally ask me later." Shitang Longsi stared into Pei Yan's eyes, expressing the doubt from his heart,
Pei Yan thought for a moment and nodded, smiling: "What you said makes sense too. Why let you go? First, I have confidence to defeat you, but not to capture you alive. With Li Songtao's example, if you choose to commit suicide at a critical moment, I can't stop you. Second, even if I capture you alive and find out Bai Ze's whereabouts from you, the divine desire would've moved him long before hearing the news."
Speaking of this, Pei Yan raised his eyebrows, glared coldly at the other: "Shitang Longsi, listen carefully. What I want you to do is bring Bai Ze before me. No matter how you do it, I must see him clearly! You should know the grudge between us. If I'm correct, during the Du Guangyuan incident, it was your manipulation that made the Vlad Clan arrive afterwards, right? Then you should know what I lost during that event! Today you stand before me hearing me speak so much, not because I admire you but because you still have value to use, nothing more!"
Listening to Pei Yan's cold mockery, Shitang Longsi instead felt relieved and asked: "Aren't you afraid I might accept your offer and then back out once I'm free and not fulfill my promise?"
"No." Pei Yan replied lazily, yawning: "Just placing a bet. If I win, I can quickly eliminate a worry from my heart. If I lose, it's just letting go of an insignificant dog. You can choose not to fulfill the promise, but remember, if you do, next time we meet no matter where, I will kill you without saying a word."
"An insignificant dog, hahaha! Pei Yan, have you become this arrogant?"
"Arrogance or confidence, you can try it!"
Watching Pei Yan standing confidently in the field with hands behind his back, Shitang Longsi clenched the knife handle in his hands, struggled for a long time, and still dared not draw his sword to respond to Pei Yan's taunt. Seeing his subordinate loosen his grip, seemingly accepting the deal, Suhabaru shouted: "Shitang, dare you accept that! It's betrayal! Even if you agree and survive this night, the organization won't let you go! Besides, how do you know he isn't lying?"
Previously unsure, Shitang Longsi saw Suhabaru speak, glanced at him, and looked at Pei Yan again, then made a decision, gritted his teeth, and leaped towards the yard shouting: "Three days later, I will deliver Bai Ze's exact location to your lodging."
"Shameless, you dare!" Suhabaru heard this, leaped up in a fury to intercept, but glimpsed a ray from his side and had to leap aside. When he turned back after the light faded, the building he stood on was split by lightning.
"I didn't promise to let you leave alive!"
Pei Yan's icy voice reached Suhabaru's ears. Looking at the surrounding crowd, Suhabaru silently cursed Li Songtao, the fool, and Shitang Longsi, the traitor, knowing escape was impossible. He sighed heavily and smiled: "Are you Pei Yan?"
"Yes, it's me. Are you one of the seven deputies of Candle Dragon, known as one of the Seven Sins of Rage, Suhabaru?" Pei Yan responded, asking back.
"Oh? You've heard of me?" Suhabaru, surprised by his accurate naming, expressed his astonishment.
Stepping through the water, he walked to a stone stool exposed above the surface, bent over to straighten it, and sat down. Slowly he took a sports drink from his ring, unscrewed the cap, removed his mask, and drank deeply. After burping, he calmly said: "I heard you have a disciple named Bals, right? Like you, a strong man who I've captured alive, and it was from him I learned your name."
"How is he?" Hearing Bals' name, Suhabaru clenched his muscles tightly, fists cracking threateningly.
"Dead, perhaps?" Pei Yan took another sip, tilted his head as if recalling, then said: "No longer valuable for interrogation, likely sacrificed for an ability transfer in that hall. I can't recall small figures."
"Small figures? Hahaha, small figures!" Suhabaru laughed angrily hearing this. As his posture dropped, the roof beneath him collapsed, smoke and dust filled the air, and a figure emerged mocking: "Is this what the self-proclaimed righteous inquiry hall is? Isn't life also being cheaply used for power just like our divine desire?"
"Have some self-respect, don't flatter!" Pei Yan said, tossing the empty bottle and retorted: "Your disciple confessed to such deeds before dying, he deserved ten death penalties!"
"What about you! Who will judge your actions?"
"I have no guilt for my actions. I'm true to heaven and earth above, right to parents below. You feel unjust and want to judge me, fine! Come, beat me first then talk!"
