Si Hongduo was suppressed by the snow-white arms stretched out from the void. He could not move at all and could only watch death coming.

However, there was no fear in his eyes. He looked at Pei Ling with even a little pity: "The truth is before you, but you are abandoning it like worn out shoes. It is really sad and lamentable..."

The blood-colored sword energy stopped at the center of his eyebrows as the lightning flashed. At the same time, in the void, the jade arms holding Si Hongduo slowly retracted.

Si Hongduo suddenly looked stunned as his body regained its freedom.

Then, before he could react to what was going on, his mind suddenly went blank.

In just a short moment, I forgot everything that just happened...

After a while, Si Hongduo suddenly woke up, looked around, and couldn't help but be startled, wondering... why was he standing in the middle of the room?

He was confused, but when he saw the half-opened volume on the table, he immediately put it all behind him, walked over, picked up the book, and read it with relish...

※※※

"Yellow" area.

Underground.

Vacuum spirit formation.

The spiritual energy was dense and boiling like a tidal wave, and the figures of Pei Ling and Si Hongmiaoli suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Si Hongmiaoli asked hesitantly: "Holy Son..."

Before she could finish her words, Pei Ling explained straightforwardly: "The task Si Hong gave you is to rescue Si Hongduo."

"Killing him is salvation, and if he goes out of the Abyss on his own, it is also salvation."

"If that's the case, why take the risk of killing him?"

"Wait for tomorrow."

"If Si Hongduo passes the test and leaves Du'eyuan tomorrow, then you should contact Si Hong immediately and tell him that he has been rescued by you."

"If he doesn't go for the test tomorrow, if you kill him again, it will only delay the situation for one day, and it will be insignificant."

Hearing this, Si Hongmiaoli immediately understood what Pei Ling meant.

Si Hongduo's behavior just now was completely the same as that of a pseudo-Taoist disciple.

It is very likely that the other party will directly pass Du Eyuan's so-called "reform" test.

And as long as the other party comes out of the Abyss... her mission is only to save people. As for what Si Hongduo has become now, what does it have to do with her?

That is something Si Hong needs to consider!

Of course, if Si Hongduo had become like this in the past, she might have explained the situation to Si Hong in detail, and then asked the family for instructions on the next step.

But now that she is a subordinate of the Holy Son, she should consider the interests of the Holy Son, not the Si Hong family!

So, Si Hongmiaoli immediately nodded and said: "Yes!"

Pei Ling continued: "When I started taking action just now, I sealed off the stone house in advance."

"When leaving, Si Hongduo forgot about meeting us."

"So, right now, no one knows what's going on."

"It's almost time now, I'll take you back first."

"If you meet Si Hongduo tomorrow, just treat it as a stranger."

Si Hongmiaoli nodded in agreement.

Pei Ling then hugged the opponent's waist again and used [Five Ghosts Tianluo Escape]...

After a while, Pei Ling returned to the vacuum spirit formation alone.

With a thought in his mind, he immediately transformed into Wu Xun'an.

Si Hongduo's various attitudes just now did not seem to be hypocritical, especially at the last moment, he threatened death, but the other party was not afraid at all and had no intention of begging for mercy.

If Pei Ling is a well-known righteous monk, perhaps Si Hongduo is betting that he will be merciful at the last moment.

But he had just reported his identity as the Holy Son of the Chongming Sect. When faced with the Holy Son of the Demon Sect, unless the other party was really not afraid of death, he would never even blink an eyelid at that time.

Of course, it doesn't matter if his inference is wrong.

Si Hongduo's cultivation level is no more than Yuanying, and he cannot resist his "method".

Tomorrow the other party will take the assessment of crossing the Abyss of Era. If he can pass, it means that the other party has really changed his ways.

So it was only right that he held back his hand just now.

But if the other party fails, or doesn't even take the test... then it's just a matter of one move for him to take his life.

"As long as Si Hongduo goes to take the test tomorrow, I will find an opportunity to observe it so that I can gain some experience in advance."

"If Si Hongduo really passes, then I don't need to waste time and go directly to take the test."

"A prisoner like Si Hongduo, who is a direct descendant of the Si Hong family and is an orthodox demon cultivator, can pass. I will definitely have no problem..."

Thinking of this, Pei Ling picked up the stones he dug during the day, used the [Five Ghosts Tianluo Escape], and escaped to the ground.

He might have to take part in the test of crossing the Abyss tomorrow, and he had to finish the quarrying task today.

The next day.

early morning.

The blood moon sheds its pale brilliance, and the howling wind is mixed with the sound of falling stone fragments.

Fei Su, wearing a white robe with blue stripes, flew from outside the canyon and landed in front of the stone house. He straightened his robe, then stepped forward and knocked gently on the door.

After a moment, the door creaked open, revealing Si Hongduo's figure: "Prefect."

"Fellow Daoist Si Hong, are you ready?" Fei Su looked at the young prisoner in front of him and asked with a gentle expression.

Si Hongduo nodded: "Ready."

Fei Su's face showed a look of relief, and he immediately said: "That fellow Taoist will follow me to the 'yellow' area first. The test of crossing the Abyss is located by the exit."

"This time my fellow Taoist can change his mind and turn from darkness to light, it is a happy event for the whole people to overcome the abyss of adversity."

"I would like to wish you, fellow Taoist, to cleanse yourself from all filth during this trip, and that your Taoist mind will be clean from now on!"

Si Hongduo solemnly saluted: "I, the devil, am still dead even though I am alive. When I cross the abyss of misfortune, it seems that I am not free, but in fact I am reborn."

"I sincerely regret it, and I will live up to the high expectations of the prefect!"

"Okay! Okay!" Fei Su nodded, flicked his sleeves, and suddenly, a clear spiritual power lifted Si Hongduo up and flew away towards the "yellow" area.

After a while, the two of them entered the "yellow" area.

Fei Su led Si Hongduo into Nie Biliu's study with familiarity.

"Senior Brother Fei." Nie Biliu was working at his desk. He noticed the movement, looked up and saw Fei Su, and stood up to greet him.

After the two parties met and exchanged brief greetings, Fei Su immediately explained his intention: "This is Si Hongduo from the 'Xuan' area. Over the years, through the teachings of his elders, he has awakened and completely abandoned the darkness and turned to the light."

"Today, I want to trouble Junior Brother Nie to work with me to conduct the test for him to cross the Abyss."

"To reveal your true feelings!"

Nie Biliu was slightly startled when he heard this and glanced at Si Hongduo in surprise, but soon he turned to Fei Su with a look of embarrassment and said: "I'm afraid this won't work in the morning. The test can only be started after noon.

.”

Over the years, Fei Su has focused on educating Si Hongduo and has not paid much attention to matters in other areas. Many handover tasks have also been left to his subordinates at the provincial level. When he heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "This
