  Lie Teng and Man Hu turned around at the same time, when they saw this fiery red woman, Lie Teng's eyebrows slightly furrowed. This person was actually the woman who almost collided with him when he just entered the Blazing Flame City. Lie Teng still remembered that this woman's name was Huo Ling'er, and she was the daughter of the master of the Blazing Flame City. It was said that her status in the Duan Ling Sect was not low either.

  "Ah, young lady!" The two elderly men's faces twitched simultaneously as they saw the woman, and a hint of resentment flashed in the depths of their eyes, as if they wanted to hide it. They lowered their heads, their expressions slightly reverent.

  "Is he the one who stole from my Driving Spirit Sect?" Huo Ling'er slowly walked up to Man Hu's face, her eyes scanning over Man Hu and Lie Teng before finally settling on Lie Teng as she asked with slightly parted lips.

  "Yes! Shao Tang." The white-haired old man responded, exchanging a glance with the ferocious old man. Both of them let out a sigh at the same time, knowing that this matter was already beyond their control. Not to mention Fire Spirit's identity as Shao Tang, but also because they were in Flame City, where they couldn't afford to think too much.

  " Fellow Taoist, you should also understand the rules of this hunting ground. You must be clearer than us about what you have done. At this moment, there are two choices." Huo Ling'er's stunning face was filled with cold arrogance, her voice was like pearls, but it was not intentional, she was the spoiled daughter of Heaven, naturally proud and arrogant, and at a young age, she had reached the sixth layer of gathering spirits, making her one of the best among her peers. Her long-term pampering made her speech carry a sense of majesty.

  "First, hand over the item you took. We won't pursue what happened in the past. Second, come with me to the Exorcism Sect and let the sect's elders decide." Huo Ling'er said coldly, her eyes fixed on Lie Teng as she waited for his response.

  The fierce tiger glanced slightly at Lie Teng, he didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, so he couldn't intervene, while Lie Teng's face was calm, but in his heart he was cursing loudly. How could he hand over the soul that had already been devoured by him? Go to the Exorcism Sect? Wouldn't that be jumping into the net himself? Just as Lie Teng was about to say something, he was interrupted by Huo Ling'er again.

  "Daoist friend, no need to explain. If you're going to the Exorcism Sect, I, Huo Ling'er, will definitely plead for leniency, and it's not necessarily a bad thing." Huo Ling'er's voice was still devoid of any emotion, her gaze indifferently fixed on Lie Teng, as if she were looking at him.

  "Are you pleading for me? It's not necessarily a bad thing?" Lie Teng raised his head and glanced at Huo Ling'er, wondering if she wanted him to join the Dui Ling Sect. And she was from the Hunting Spirit Land, so she must have watched his battle. However, Lie Teng had no intention of joining the Dui Ling Sect, but rather wanted to travel and cultivate in the world. Moreover, Lie Teng knew that the larger the sect, the more restrictions one would face, which was not what he wanted. But things had come to this point, and Lie Teng couldn't refuse. After a moment's hesitation, he said: "That thing is mine, I'm willing to exchange it for spirit stones. How about it?"

  Huǒ Líng ér heard the words, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She had made it clear that she was implying Lie Teng, and originally thought that Lie Teng would agree. After all, the Dū Líng Zōng was a giant in the Western cultivation world, and countless cultivators were eager to become its disciples. The usual four-layered Ling Gathering had long since been grateful. Lie Teng's refusal was beyond Huǒ Líng ér's expectations, leaving her at a loss for words for a moment.

  The barbarian tiger watched calmly on one side, not intending to intervene. On the one hand, he wanted to see how deep or shallow Lie Tong was. On the other hand, he wondered what Lie Tong had stolen.

  "That's all I'll give you." Unworthy of being the favored son of heaven, Huo Ling'er quickly regained her composure and coldly said, "Lie Teng may have moved my heart, but it's not enough to force him to join the Duan Ling Sect. In her opinion, letting Lie Teng join the Duan Ling Sect was already a rare opportunity for him in three lifetimes."

  Lieteng's face looked a bit unsightly, and he hastily said: "Those things I cannot hand over, I am willing to exchange them for spirit stones." Immediately, Lieteng took out 200 low-grade spirit stones from his storage ring and placed them on the table. This was most of Lieteng's savings. He gazed at Huo Ling'er and said: "These are the spirit stones that can be taken out. If you think it's too little, I am temporarily unable to do anything about it." Lieteng's voice was very low and calm. He deeply knew that as a lone individual in the cultivation world, he could not afford to provoke the likes of Huoyan City or Qū Líng Zōng.

  "Brat, looking for death? This little bit of spirit stone is enough to fool who?" The fierce old man roared in anger. He was originally full of rage, and when he saw Lie Teng take out such a small amount of spirit stone, it seemed like an insult to him, how could he not be furious? In fact, 200 low-grade spirit stones were not a small amount, after all, when Longhezi was about to die, he could only take out that much. But the fierce old man and the white-haired old man had been stationed in the Lingwu territory for a long time, collecting wealth and naturally looked down on Lie Teng's 200 low-grade spirit stones.

  Huǒ Língér's eyebrows furrowed, and she said coldly, "Fellow Daoist, this is somewhat unacceptable. You're underestimating the value of that thing." She wasn't intentionally trying to make things difficult for Lie Teng, but 200 pieces of low-grade spirit stones were too few. After all, Lie Teng had absorbed the soul from the command token, which was one of the few food sources for the soul beasts in the Driving Spirit Sect. How could low-grade spirit stones be enough to exchange for it?

  Lieteng gritted his teeth and took out two fist-sized spirit stones from the savings ring, which were exactly two mid-grade spirit stones. Lieteng originally had only six mid-grade spirit stones in the cave mansion, one of which was used for breaking through, leaving five remaining. Taking out two at this time was already Lieteng's limit. He breathed slightly heavily and said in a low voice: "This is my family's foundation."

  Huǒ Líng'er calmly looked at the two mid-grade spirit stones, her eyebrows still slightly furrowed. "Is this not enough?" Liè Téng's heart was almost bleeding, but his face remained calm as he gazed at Huǒ Líng'er, waiting for her response. With his identity, there was no room for resistance.

  "Alright, although I don't know what you're discussing, as fellow cultivators there's no need to be so ruthless and not leave others a way out. Moreover, the Duanling Sect shouldn't lack this small amount of spirit stones." Man Huo glanced at Huo Ling'er and said calmly.

  "What's the big idea..." The fierce old man bellowed, but before he could finish, Huo Ling'er cut him off.

  "Shut your mouth, or get out of Flame City forever!" Huo Ling'er suddenly turned around and scolded the fierce old man. The fierce old man didn't know that Man Hu was a Body Refiner, but how could Huo Ling'er not know? From Man Hu's cultivation and his calm demeanor, it was clear that he had an extraordinary background. Offending someone like him would undoubtedly make enemies for the Duan Ling Sect. In the cultivation world, Body Refiners were existences that no sect dared to provoke.

  The ferocious old man's face turned sullen, his expression somewhat unpleasant, but it wasn't anger, rather it was fear. Huo Ling'er was the daughter of the Lord of Flame City, and for this ferocious old man, a small character like him, Huo Ling'er's words were equivalent to the Lord of Flame City's words, enough to decide their fate. And they had been stationed in Lie Ling territory, a lucrative position, how could they be willing to lose it? He could only endure, nodding his head in agreement, no longer speaking, but his eyes were filled with resentment.

  "If there's a next time, the Divine Spirit Sect will definitely investigate to the end!" Huo Ling'er coldly glanced at Lie Teng, turned around and looked at the two old men in a low voice, saying: "Let's go!"

  PS: I've been sleeping in the hospital with my grandfather these past few days. He's passed the critical period now, and I'll probably be able to resume updates tomorrow.
