Pei Xuanjing looked somewhat puzzled, “Why is that?”
“Because I’ve noticed, you seem to have become much stronger.” A smile surfaced on Bai Xiaosheng’s face.
After all, when Heaven and Earth had just recuperated, only Pei Xuanjing broke through the Spirit Realm, he was undoubtedly the best in the world; with his strength, he could easily suppress anyone who resisted.
However, with so many new Spirit Realm masters emerging and numerous alliances merging, the situation has become more volatile. As their power grows, some will undoubtedly start to grow ambitious, wanting to break the current balance.
Being the biggest beneficiary of the current situation, Bai Xiaosheng naturally hoped for the situation to remain unchanged and continue its current course.
This was ostensibly his main purpose for coming; he wanted to discuss with Pei Xuanjing on how to handle the forthcoming developments.
But the moment he laid eyes on Pei Xuanjing, he felt Pei Xuanjing’s immense power; even as a man who had stepped into the Spirit Realm, he could feel a dangerously strong aura from Pei Xuanjing. It became clear to him that Pei Xuanjing’s strength has greatly increased during his period of seclusion and he still held the rightful position as the world’s mightiest.
So, Bai Xiaosheng knew there was no longer need for concern.
Pei Xuanjing immediately understood his thoughts and laughed, “I never thought I would prove to be so useful. However, I’m afraid the situation is not as perfect as you imagine it to be.”
He laid out the possibilities he conjured about the potential return of powerful entities to Bai Xiaosheng.
He hadn’t discussed this matter with Emperor Jiajing, because the Emperor’s strength wasn’t at a level where he needed to know such matters. But Bai Xiaosheng was an ally, he had no need to hide it from him.
However, after speaking, Pei Xuanjing looked at Bai Xiaosheng somewhat unexpectedly, “I don’t know why, but I feel like you’re not as shocked as I thought you would be.”
Logically, these revelations mentioned by Pei Xuanjing were astonishing secrets of the world. It would be expected for anyone who hears them to react with surprise. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
But upon hearing it, Bai Xiaosheng did not seem overly astounded but rather appeared to have an air of sudden realization.
“I see, then if I’m not mistaken, these continuous occurrences in the Forbidden Places and Blessed Lands could perhaps be facilitated by those people.” Bai Xiaosheng said, laughing.
Noticing Pei Xuanjing’s surprised expression, he explained, “The lineage of Bai Xiaosheng has been long established, we also have suspicions regarding these matters. After all, the original lineage was cut too cleanly with nothing leftover, it’s only natural to speculate that those people haven’t died yet.”
After listening to his explanation, Pei Xuanjing said with profound meaning, “I am becoming more and more curious about the lineage of Bai Xiaosheng.”
“Hehe.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled, not indicating any response.
Pei Xuanjing skipped over this topic and said, “But as you also know, in light of the current situation, if we want to proceed quickly with the plan, compromises have to be made.”
“I understand, you are implying that we should accept it.” Bai Xiaosheng nodded.
Without Pei Xuanjing needing to explain further, with his wisdom, he naturally understood that if the plan was to be advanced swiftly, compromises were necessary given the current state of things.
As a leader capable of managing a major faction, one who was able to stand out from so many candidates to become the contemporary Bai Xiaosheng, he was certainly not a man of short sight.
Pei Xuanjing laughed, just as he had anticipated, Bai Xiaosheng and the others would understand as soon as he expressed his speculation. There was no need for him to explain or persuade.
He said, “Since you are already aware of these people’s advancement, it would be redundant for both of us to take up the same task. I believe you can invite them.”
Pei Xuanjing was making preparations to host a gathering, inviting the heads of various factions, to discuss collaborating with the Great Ming imperial court in the military offensive outside the border.
After all, once the lands beyond the border are completely incorporated into Great Ming territory, not only will the Qi Luck of the Great Ming imperial court surge, but the members of these various factions would also enjoy various benefits.
Seeing such great benefits in the offing, it was natural to allocate each one’s share in advance to avoid any potential conflicts.
“Leave this matter to me. I believe no one will refuse an invitation in your name.” Bai Xiaosheng nodded.
The Great Ming imperial court was not suited to host this event directly. After all, some of the factions did not have a good relationship with the court. If the imperial court sent out the invitation, these people might not come and could even interpret it as a conspiracy.
However, with Pei Xuanjing’s status, currently the world’s number one, inviting them would be most appropriate and no one would refuse his invitation.
“Perhaps, I can use this chance to rearrange the Supreme Martial Arts Ranking!” Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.
Of the three rankings he established, the other two could be updated on time, but the Supreme Ranking was treated with great care. He would never change it frivolously without definite proof.
Even though one of the Supreme Martial Artists, the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, had died at the hands of Pei Xuanjing leaving a vacancy in the ranking, he only added Pei Xuanjing’s name at the top without any other changes in the ranking.
However, Bai Xiaosheng was certain that this grand gathering would see the participation of various factions’ strongest members, with no one daring to take it lightly.
After the resurgence of Heaven and Earth, countless new strong individuals were born, some factions were extinguished, some were absorbed, and others rose dramatically.
As Pei Xuanjing personally spearheaded this gathering, its hidden implications were self-evident. All the factions would certainly display their strength at this gathering in order to make their then statement to the world and possibly reconfigure their standing in the martial world.
Therefore, he could use this opportunity to observe the strongest from each faction and update the Supreme Ranking.
Both men went their separate ways, and three days later, according to the list given by Bai Xiaosheng, Pei Xuanjing personally wrote the invitations, requesting various factions to gather at Shenxiao Mountain to discuss important matters.
The widely recognized world’s top individual personally wrote the invitations, surely this gesture from Pei Xuanjing hinted at the importance of this meeting to many people.
Northwest Dao, Tie Zhangshan.
No one expected that Zhao Baiyang, the leader of the Mire Sect who has maintained a low-profile disappearance for many years, would appear here.
Zhao Baiyang and Tie Qianshan stood atop a mountain peak at the back of the mountain, gazing out into distance, feeling the howling mountain wind, silent for a long time.
“Master.”
The presence of Tie Mad in the distance broke the silence here.
Without glancing back or moving, Zhao Baiyang let Tie Qianshan answer, “What is it?”
Tie Mad respectfully responded, “State Teacher Pei Xuanjing sent someone to deliver an invitation to Master.”
When he mentioned Pei Xuanjing, Tie Mad’s eyes were filled with complex emotions.
