Pei Xuanjing withdrew his gaze and began to study a set of martial arts skills.
However, before long, Bai Xiaosheng mysteriously appeared out of nowhere and entered the hall where he was.
“I didn’t expect you to come here at this time.” Pei Xuanjing made a welcoming gesture, inviting Bai Xiaosheng to sit down.
According to Pei Xuanjing’s idea, his affairs are much less critical than the matters in Tiandu. The other party certainly needs to personally go to Tiandu to stay vigilant of the situation.
“Do you think my appearance in Tiandu given its current situation might produce a reaction contrary to what we desire?” Bai Xiaosheng asked with a light chuckle.
Although he has always maintained a low profile in the jianghu, many still recognize him.
Even though people like Zhao Baiyang might have guessed that he has an insight into their plans, without any proof, they can’t confirm their suspicions.
However, if he appears in Tiandu, without a doubt, Zhao Baiyang would confirm his conjectures.
Moreover, logically speaking, it would make more sense for him to be at Justice Hall.
After all, such a grand martial arts ceremony, it would be normal for Bai Xiaosheng to appear here. in contrast, his absence would seem strange.
Pei Xuanjing nodded, then asked, “So, they’ve already made their move?”
“Yes, according to the news from the messenger eagle, they’ve already invaded the Imperial City,” Bai Xiaosheng reports.
“Even without Lawlessness, Tiandu is fraught with dangers; surely there must still be quite many skilled martial artists there!” Pei Xuanjing said curiously.
According to his life simulation, Zhao Baiyang’s operation this time should not fail.
However, many events on his journey have deviated from his life simulation due to various reasons.
Seemingly unfazed, Bai Xiaosheng confidently said, “According to my information, Zhao Baiyang has gathered three top-tier jianghu masters. Caught unawares, there are hardly a few people in the Imperial City who can stop them.”
No one knows better than Bai Xiaosheng how powerful these top-tier martial artists from jianghu are. With Zhao Baiyang, the Sky Demon Sect’s Master, and the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu all on the same side, their plan should proceed without hitch as long as they don’t betray each other.
Although the Great Ming imperial court has numerous martial arts masters, only a few match the calibre of the top-tier jianghu masters. They aren’t all based in Tiandu, as the expansive Great Ming territory also needs skilled masters for other roles.
According to Bai Xiaosheng’s estimation, after Lawlessness left, the number of supreme-level masters stationed in Tiandu does not exceed three.
“Hopefully so!” Pei Xuanjing responded.
Having inadvertently helped them eliminate many obstacles, if they still fail, then they have no one to blame but themselves.
Just as the two were discussing, the rebellion within Tiandu was soon to be quelled.
Zhao Baiyang, coated with blood; the Diamond Sect’s Master looking as though he’d been bathing in blood, appearing like a demonic Buddha; Xue Wuheng of the Sky Demon Sect, radiating an overwhelming demonic energy; the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, exuding a chilling aura…
They had already killed countless skilled fighters and arrived outside the Imperial Garden, where they had the emperor surrounded.
“Inept ruler, today is the day of your beheading!” Zhao Baiyang roared, releasing an endless murderous intent and charged towards the emperor.
On the eighth of September, Pei Xuanjing ascended to Justice Hall. With a single force, he dominated nine first-grade masters, including Ma Wuji the Hall Master, suppressing them with ease in two moves.
The chief Capturer of the Six Gates, Lawlessness, battled Pei Xuanjing. His renowned Divine Saber was broken under Pei Xuanjing’s sword technique, leaving him severely injured and on death’s door. If not for the intervention of Wang Boan, he would have undoubtedly been killed.
Directly afterwards, using an open scheme, he disposed of the senior members of Justice Hall in a lightning move, dispatched the apprentices of Justice Hall, and took possession of the hall.
Also on the eighth of September, Zhao Baiyang, the leader of the Mire Sect, allied with the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, the Master of the Diamond Gate, and Xue Wuheng, the Sky Demon Sect’s Master, who had not been involved in jianghu for a long time, sneaked into Tiandu, intruded into the Imperial City, and attempted to assassinate the emperor.
A day of fierce battles resulted in chaos in Tiandu.
In a bitter and brutal standoff, countless individuals were killed or injured. Zhao Baiyang and others, four great martial artists, broke through the siege and intruded into the Imperial Garden, but were stopped by the imperial family’s elite forces.
A stunning battle ensued among these elite martial artists. In the end, two of the imperial family’s top martial artists were killed, and the Diamond Sect’s Master was severely injured and almost died. The Mire Sect’s Master, Zhao
Baiyang, Xue Wuheng of the Sky Demon Sect, and the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu were also injured. Countless major factions lost their best and brightest.
On the ninth of September, the Great Ming imperial court publicly announced that the emperor was only injured, not critically, and would recover after a period of recuperation.
At the same time, the Great Ming First Assistant and the Minister of War put aside their previous disputes. The two jointly stabilized the court and issued edicts in all directions, declaring the Mire Sect, Sky Demon Sect, underworld, and Diamond Gate organizations to be rebellious against the court and ordered the Six Gates, Brocade Guards, and the Two Factories to dispatch their experts, join the local guards to roundup and exterminate the rebels.
Suddenly, there was a serious tribunal within the jianghu. Countless organizations entangled with the factions were uprooted, and martial artists were captured or killed.
On the nineteenth of September, Pei Xuanjing arrived at the North Pole Association and challenged its head, Murong Hua. He defeated Murong Hua in three moves.
On the twenty-sixth of September, Pei Xuanjing ascended to the Canglan Sword Sect and triumphed over the head of the Canglan Sword Sect with his exceptional swordsmanship.
On the seventh of October, Pei Xuanjing ascended to Taiyuan Wang’s family and challenged the head of the Taiyuan Wang family. Three days later, Pei Xuanjing left Taiyuan Wang’s estate, which then announced news of their own defeat.
On the twenty-first of October, Pei Xuanjing challenged the heads of both Boling and Qinghe Cui families. Even their combined forces could not beat him.
On the third of November, Pei Xuanjing…
On the sixteenth of November, Pei Xuanjing…
The two fought fiercely, and the Demonic Sword inheritor was defeated, barely escaping.
On the thirteenth of December, after defeating a rival competitor, Pei Xuanjing spread words throughout the realm, expressing his intention to ascend to Dragon Tiger Mountain on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month to challenge the top-ranked person on the jianghu supreme list, the current Heavenly Master.
Upon the release of this news, the whole world was shocked!
In the past three months, Pei Xuanjing’s footprints have almost covered half of the jianghu world, defeated countless famous masters, and once again ascended to the top of the Fengyun list. Everyone acknowledged that Pei Xuanjing has the strength of a jianghu supreme.
Many speculated that the reason why Pei Xuanjing kept challenging masters was to accumulate momentum, use continuous victories to gather an unstoppable force, and finally choose to challenge a real jianghu supreme strongman.
And the news from Pei Xuanjing confirmed this speculation.
But what no one expected was that Pei Xuanjing actually chose the Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, the first person on the jianghu supreme list..
