Chapter 420: 368: Zhao Baiyang Challenges, Major Battle in Spirit Realm

Though he never clashed with Wang Bo’an in the first-grade realm, Pei Xuanjing could feel that the latter’s strength was formidable.

Bai Xiaosheng responded, “Hard to say. Wang Bo’an has always been training soldiers alongside Minister Wang Qiong of the War Department and hasn’t had the time for seclusion. Logically, he shouldn’t have the opportunity to make a breakthrough. But…”

However, Wang Bo’an was initially thought by everyone to be merely a scholar who was engrossed in officialdom. No one anticipated his outstanding power.

If it weren’t for Ning King’s rebellion and Wang Bo’an’s successful defense against the assassins sent by the dark forces, nobody would be aware of his true strength.

Therefore, even Bai Xiaosheng had doubts at the moment and wasn’t so sure anymore.

He noted it for now and then heard someone inquire.

“How should we distribute the captured spoils?”

Pei Xuanjing responded with a smile, “I wonder, how does Sect Leader Tie think it should be distributed?”

Tie Qianshan did not bother being polite and said, “Naturally, whoever gets it, keeps it.”

Before Pei Xuanjing could say anything, Qingxu, a Taoist standing nearby, asked: “What if someone harms their own people?”

No one could ensure that such things wouldn’t happen. There were deep-seated grievances amongst those present and it was already quite difficult for them to cooperate as is.

If profits were to entice someone, it wouldn’t be impossible for the recklessly ambitious to risk everything.

With a serious expression, Pei Xuanjing said resolutely, “If someone harms their own in secret and it’s confirmed, they will be executed on the spot!”

At this moment, Pei Xuanjing didn’t ask for anyone’s opinion and expressed his decision directly.

None present opposed Pei Xuanjing’s demand. After all, it was only fair. They all understood how fragile the alliance between them was. If they ended up turning against each other, it would be utterly embarrassing.

In the end, they decided to jointly send their elites to form a law enforcement team. Anyone who broke the rules would either be captured if the offense was minor or killed on the spot if it was serious.

Today, at the rear mountain of Shenxiao, these fifteen Spirit Realm powerhouses had settled the matter and gained a unified consciousness and purpose. Next, they would have to inform the remaining forces.

The world ultimately respected strength. No matter what status they held before Heaven and Earth’s revival, if they hadn’t produced a Spirit Realm powerhouse by the time Heaven and Earth revived, they would all be left one step behind.

For those forces without a Spirit Realm powerhouse, they had no say in such decisions. They could only passively accept or reject.

However, if they were to reject the decision made by these forces, they would probably be seen as deviating from the mainstream of the world.

Zi Tianxiong and Tie Qianshan looked at each other, feeling relieved. If they hadn’t taken the opportunity to make a breakthrough, they might have wound up just like those other forces, left waiting for decisions without the right to express their opinions or access such secrets.

The two were clear that sometimes a single step could result in a chain reaction. These forces without a Spirit Realm powerhouse might be completely left behind by them if no powerhouse emerged in the future.

Just when everyone thought the day’s proceedings were over, Zhao Baiyang suddenly spoke up:

“Now that the official business is done, there’s something else I’d like to discuss with Brother Pei.”

Raising an eyebrow, Pei Xuanjing wondered what he had planned: “You may speak.”

Zhao Baiyang stood up and laughed: “The last time I traded blows with Brother Pei benefitted me greatly. Now that I’ve broken through to the Spirit Realm, Brother Pei’s strength must have increased by another notch. As these discussions have been called by Brother Pei today, I’d like to take advantage of this opportunity to learn from you and see how much I still need to grow to match the world’s strongest.”

Zhao Baiyang wants to challenge Pei Xuanjing!

Everyone present was immediately struck with this idea.

No matter how courteous or humble Zhao Baiyang’s words were, his intention to challenge Pei Xuanjing could not be disguised.

Their eyes flickered, their expressions varied, each of them keeping their thoughts to themselves.

Even Tie Qianshan couldn’t help but wonder. He had previously asked Zhao Baiyang if he had any assurance of defeating Pei Xuanjing, to which Zhao Baiyang had said no.

If not, why would he choose to challenge Pei Xuanjing on this day, without even notifying his ally of his decision?

“Would Brother Pei be willing to oblige!” Zhao Baiyang smiled while looking at Pei Xuanjing, his eyes not showing any signs of retreating or avoiding.

Indeed, he wasn’t on the same level as Pei Xuanjing, a fact he didn’t deny.

But Zhao Baiyang still chose to challenge him. He wanted to see exactly how strong the current Pei Xuanjing was, and to have a clear awareness of the gap between them.

In his heart, he had already considered the other as his greatest opponent and friend on his cultivation path.

He wanted to see just how much of a gap there was between himself and this friend.

Zhao Baiyang wasn’t afraid of powerful opponents, only his own fear. He was afraid of losing his relentless spirit of Dao-seeking amidst hardships.

“Sure!”

Pei Xuanjing’s gaze met Zhao Baiyang’s, and he instantly understood the latter’s thoughts.

At this moment, Zhao Baiyang was not the leader of the Mire Sect or the leader of the heterodox alliance. He had no titles, just a simple Tao-seeker.

Pei Xuanjing had initially thought that Zhao Baiyang’s heart was filled with ambition and scheming already. But he didn’t expect to see such a pure Dao-heart in him.

At this moment, he felt that calling Zhao Baiyang a Taoist friend was appropriate.

“Taoist friend, please!” Pei Xuanjing stood up, one hand behind his back and the other gesturing a welcome.

“Hahaha, Brother Pei, you’re too kind.” Joy appeared on Zhao Baiyang’s face, with no intention of hiding it: “Please!”

He could sense a change in Pei Xuanjing’s attitude towards him. Although he didn’t know why, he knew that Pei Xuanjing saw him as a competitor and friend at that moment.

Seeing that the two had reconciled, the rest naturally had no objections.

Even a few of them had eager expressions. After all, they had rarely had the chance to spar with others since their break through to the Spirit Realm. Now, having a chance to practice with the world’s number one, how could they not feel joy?

Pei Xuanjing gave a light smile and stepped out into the void, reaching several miles away in the blink of an eye.

Spirit Realm powerhouses can borrow the power of Heaven and Earth, so crossing the void isn’t much. But such a carefree action made the heroes present deeply shocked.

Many of them could not match Pei Xuanjing’s move alone.

Zhao Baiyang laughed and stomped his feet. A tumultuous flow of air swirled up from his feet, heading directly for the sky, and towards Pei Xuanjing.
