After leaving the building, Pei Hongnian could not help but laugh when he saw that Pei Ling treated the sect rulebook as a treasure.

“Senior, are these sect rules only for show?” His attitude caused Pei Ling’s heart to skip a beat, and he hurriedly asked.

Pei Hongnian gave a strange look. “How is that possible? The Holy Sect had painstakingly compiled so many rules and regulations. How could they be just for show?”

He patted Pei Ling’s shoulder. “It’s just that… sigh you’ll know after you read it anyway.”

Without giving Pei Ling a chance to ask more questions, Pei Hongnian pointed to a spot not far away. “After you light up the Life Soul Candle, you are already an outer sect disciple of the Holy Sect. The next step is to go to the General Affairs Hall to obtain your clothes and nameplates. Let’s walk faster. After all, the General Affairs Hall does not allow outsiders to stay overnight. After night falls, anyone not from the General Affairs Hall caught loitering there will be treated as violating the sect rules! That is not a joke.”

Pei Ling was startled when he heard this and hurriedly said, “Okay!”

The cousins quickened their steps and arrived at the door of the General Affairs Hall. It occupied a vast area and was built tall and lofty. Plants were around, and many people were coming and going.

The most eye-catching thing was that two ghosts were floating by the door.

Both were burly, ten-foot-tall men wearing armor, with one holding a hammer and the other holding a saber. There was no expression on their pale faces, only their cold black eyes watching the crowd.

It reminded Pei Ling of Jiao Ni and Wu Liu when he saw them, and his face could not help but twitch. He did not dare to look further as he followed closely behind Pei Hongnian.

It was a spacious hall that was bustling with activity. However, everyone seemed to be in a hurry, seemingly very busy.

Pei Hongnian did not have any time to waste. He strode to a corner, and after finding a disciple in charge to explain the situation, the other party quickly took out a set of outer sect disciple’s clothes, a fist-sized storage bag, and a finger bone.

His clothes and storage bag were fine, but the finger bone seemed realistic. They were warm to touch and could even move slightly. It was a harrowing feeling.

“This is your nameplate.” Pei Hongnian picked up the finger bone and pointed to the word ‘Pei Ling’, which got engraved at some point in time. He instructed solemnly, “This is the most important thing here. You must not lose it at all times! After all, the sect’s spirits recognize the nameplate but not the person. If you trespass in some places without a nameplate, you will die in vain.”

Pei Ling could not help but be serious as he hurriedly hid it in his bosom.

“Alright, it’s getting late.” After leaving the hall, Pei Hongnian looked up at the sky and said, “Let’s find a place for you to stay first.”

As he spoke, he carefully took out a two-inch-long paper boat from his sleeve, which looked like what an ordinary child folded for fun. However, when he threw it in front of him, the paper boat rapidly grew in size. In two seconds, it had transformed into the size of a civilian black-awning boat.

After Pei Hongnian entered the boat with Pei Ling, he formed hand seals, and the paper boat left the ground slowly, floating away from the General Affairs Hall and flying towards a skinny mountain peak not far away.

The speed and stability of this paper boat were naturally worlds apart from the Dark Bone Phantom Ship. They were incomparable. However, back when Pei Ling was on the Dark Bone Phantom Ship, he simply did not have the mood or the chance to admire the scenery. Now, although the limit of ten days was still in his head, Pei Ling was not afraid at all with the system’s help. He finally had the mood to look around.

“Senior, what is it like under the sea of clouds?” Pei Ling admired the torrential sea of clouds for a while and could not help but point below and ask, “What are these places?”

Pei Hongnian glanced at him with a strange expression. “If you’re that interested, can’t you go and take a look for yourself in the future?”

Pei Ling sensed something amiss and laughed dryly to change the topic. “Right, Senior, does the mountain we’re going next have a name? What’s it called?”

Pei Hongnian smiled strangely and was about to answer when a phoenix suddenly rushed out from the side and recklessly crashed into the paper boat.

“My boat!” Pei Hongnian’s expression changed instantly. As he formed hand seals to stabilize the paper boat that had lost its stability due to the sudden attack, he shouted, “Whose phoenix is this? Why is it so reckless?!”

The phoenix seemed to be a little dizzy from the impact. After shaking its head, it flapped its wings and disappeared into the clouds at an extraordinary speed.

It came and left rapidly. If not for the fact that the paper boat had a clear hole, it would simply make one wonder if the incident had really happened.

Pei Ling’s heart palpitated as he said, “Brother, are these birds usually so headless?”

He was beginning to think that Pei Hongnian’s paper boat was not too bad.

Now, he realized that the paper boat was only a paper boat after all. It was too unsafe.

“…” Pei Hongnian did not look happy as he said, “I wonder how those pieces of trash from Beast Taming Peak trained these feathered beasts?”

Suddenly, the ship shook again.

The cousins turned around instinctively and were shocked to find that the phoenix had returned!

This time, it was even more cunning than before. It secretly hid nearby before the brazen attack, destroying another portion of the paper boat.

“Damn it!” Pei Hongnian’s expression changed at the sight of this. He was flustered. “Who’s targeting me on purpose?!”

He looked around and saw that there was only the churning sea of clouds nearby. After the phoenix attacked, it went into hiding again.

Even with Pei Hongnian’s cultivation level, he could not find any traces of the other party at the moment.

“Senior, can’t this go any faster?” Pei Ling’s heart raced as he watched. After all, although he was at the fourth level of the Qi Refinement realm, he could not fly. Currently, they were still a distance away from the mountain peak in front of him. If anything happened to the paper boat, he did not know what Pei Hongnian could do. In any case, he could only fall.

“Bastard! If I could be quick, why would I go so slow?” Pei Hongnian’s face was ashen as he shouted, “You…”

Before he could finish, the ship shook violently again.

It was that phoenix again!

This time, it even pecked a few more times after the impact before flapping away.

Pei Hongnian’s eyes widened as he looked at the battered paper boat. However, all these years he had trained in the Deep Sea Sect was not in vain. At crucial moments, he was not without decision-making abilities. He immediately thought for a moment with a serious look before shouting, “Pei Ling, sit tight!”

Without waiting for Pei Ling to speak, he hurriedly formed a few hand seals. The paper boat ignored its injuries and accelerated instantly, charging towards the mountain peak in front.

The phoenix, which was hiding leisurely, was startled at the sight of this. It flapped its wings to chase after the boat immediately.

During this process, the phoenix relied on its speed advantage to attack the paper boat frequently, as if it had a deep hatred. Soon, the paper boat began to totter. Pei Ling could even hear the sounds of the paper boat beginning to fall apart. He was apprehensive, but there was nothing he could do at the moment as he could only watch the paper boat get ripped apart as it went through a forest.

Pei Ling and Pei Hongnian were thrown high into the air by a wave of air and began to drop heavily.

They broke countless tree branches and leaves along the way and finally fell hard on the soft forest ground!

“Ptui, ah ptui… ptui… cough ptui…” Pei Ling was in a sorry state. He coughed as he got up from the ground. The first thing he did was to check his belongings, especially his nameplate.

Just as he was heaving a sigh of relief when he found nothing missing, he heard a series of messy footsteps coming from afar..
