Chapter 632: 582: The Master Will Take Action
The time between the conflict at Canglang Palace and Pei Xuanjing was barely half a month from beginning to end. However, within this half a month, countless forces, after receiving the news, all focused their attention on Canglang Palace.
Around the outpost of Canglang Palace, countless spies from various forces had arrived, waiting every moment for some news, paying attention to the reaction of Canglang Palace.
After the demands put forward by Canglang Palace, many forces returning from the Sky Wasteland were delighted. They knew that if Pei Xuanjing, who is known as the number one person in the world, was not a weakling, there would definitely be some reaction when the opponent hears the news, and perhaps there will be a big battle with Canglang Palace.
This is a battle anticipated by countless forces, as the identity of Pei Xuanjing is too mysterious to them. Even with the knowledge of his rise, Pei Xuanjing remains an enigma to many forces.
The several times Pei Xuanjing has acted have shocked everyone. Each time, it has shattered their predictions and imaginations. The extent of his strength is difficult to measure.
For thirty years, Pei Xuanjing had not made a move, and according to a normal cultivator, it would not be a surprise if he did not break through the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm even in three hundred years, let alone thirty years.
But when it comes to this mysterious Pei Xuanjing, many people can’t help guessing whether he has made further progress.
Therefore, they want to investigate how strong Pei Xuanjing really is, which will determine their attitude towards him.
However, no one wants to be the one to take the first step. The collision between Canglang Palace and Pei Xuanjing perfectly aligns with their thoughts.
Especially after learning that Pei Xuanjing rode out of the Tiandu Taoist Academy of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty on a white deer, there are many powerful people heading towards the outpost of Canglang Palace, just to witness this event that could possibly affect the world’s situation.
“Your Highness, how do you think Grandmaster Pei will behave this time?” Xue Hanyi asked Xue Renfang, the person in charge of the ancient Xue country.
Over the years, the Xue ancient country has been developing rapidly, and his cultivation level has also been improving rapidly. It wouldn’t compare with others, but stepping into the Spirit Realm Sixth Level by seizing the opportunity of the revival of Heaven and Earth has made countless peers jealous.
A Sixth-level cultivator of the Spirit Realm would be regarded as a mainstay in any major force and could have power over an area.
Nowadays, Xue Hanyi has gained some status in the ancient Xue country, and he cares a lot about such major events, so he wants to hear Xue Renfang’s thoughts, as he’s one of the few strong ones at the Seventh Level of the Spirit Realm who have actually had contact with Pei Xuanjing.
Xue Renfang also highly valued this younger generation. Hearing his question, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes. After all, if one only obsessively cultivates without opening their eyes to the world, they may be a powerful cultivator, but they struggle to seize more power in the ancient country in the future.
“I have even failed to measure the strength of this high priest. I really can’t get a clear picture.” Xue Renfang shook his head. His encounter with Pei Xuanjing made it clear to him how terrifying Pei Xuanjing was. Especially when later Pei Xuanjing killed the Seventh Level’s cultivators one by one, it made Xue Renfang realize how lucky his choice was.
“However, in my view, Canglang Palace will not gain much advantage from this encounter. On the contrary, it is very likely to suffer a loss.” A complex look flashed across his face as he spoke profoundly.
As first-class forces, the actual strength of Canglang Palace is slightly stronger than that of their ancient Xue country, but he is more optimistic about Pei Xuanjing for the outcome of this conflict between the two sides.
Although there is no concrete evidence, his feeling is just so. This is an instinctive feeling of a cultivator, and the stronger the cultivator, the more they believe in this feeling.
However, with such a situation, Xue Renfang feels a mixture of emotions. At first, his encounter with Pei Xuanjing, although a bit of a demonstration of weakness, his heart still had some pride, after all, he could always rely on the master of their Ancient Xue country.
But now, if his premonition comes true, it means that the great Ancient Xue country behind him will not be of much threat to Pei Xuanjing and wouldn’t cause him any trouble.
Xue Hanyi fell silent after hearing this. Thinking back, he had crossed hands with Pei Xuanjing when he first descended on the Ancestral Land. Although he had been defeated, at least he was qualified to fight.
But now, he was probably not even qualified to make a move in front of him.
“This time, Canglang Palace is likely to suffer a big loss! Hahaha, encountering that evil spirit, it’s just bad luck for Canglang Palace, not a favorable year!”
The No Phase True Monarch had a look of schadenfreude on his face when he learned that Pei Xuanjing was on the move.
As first-class forces, the No Phase True Monarch never really liked Canglang Palace. Wasn’t it because their Supreme Elder had dealt a few hands with the strongest of the Nine Realms of Spirit, and that they had been boasting about it for so many years, making themselves out to be so powerful, disregarding everyone else and acting so domineering that it really annoyed people.
He himself had suffered a loss in front of Pei Xuanjing not long ago. Although he didn’t publicize it, the No Phase True Monarch was still upset in his heart.
But facing Pei Xuanjing, he could clearly feel the threat, so it was not good to seek revenge. Now seeing that someone was going to suffer as he had, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of schadenfreude.
Inside Canglang Palace, the Third Supreme Elder, listening to Wei Ping’s description, frowned slightly and said in a somewhat cold voice, “The fact that the man came here alone riding a deer indicates that he doesn’t come in peace!”
At first, they had told Pei Xuanjing to tie his own hands and come with his disciples, but the Third Supreme Elder knew very well that with Pei Xuanjing’s status and strength, he would definitely not surrender easily.
Originally, they thought that Pei Xuanjing would hole up within the territory of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, taking advantage of the terrain. Now, the fact that he left the territory of Great Ming directly and came towards them, revealing his identity without any concealment, indicates that he must be very confident. He definitely doesn’t come in peace!
Wei Ping understood this and immediately said, “No matter what, since the opponent took the initiative to come, our Canglang Palace must not back down. He is strong and ruthless. So, the Third Supreme Elder, you have to take action.”
Third Supreme Elder sneered: “This is natural. I will naturally take action and let me see just how capable this world-renowned Number One man of the Ancestral Land is.”
Ever since he arrived in the Ancestral Land, he had almost grown a callous in his ears from hearing the name of this world-renowned Number One man that countless people chase. Now that a conflict is inevitable, he figured he might as well see just how competent the man was.
