Chapter 135: Chapter 134: What Shenxiao Sect? The Shenxiao Sect is long gone! (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

At sunrise, the bright sunlight pierced through the clouds, illuminating the heaven and earth, and even the peak of the mountain sparkled brilliantly.

Pei Xuanjing was sitting cross-legged on a broken cliff of Shenxiao Mountain, closed his eyes, and controlled his breathing. Every breath he took, a tinge of Zi Qi surrounding his body rose, and he seemed as one with heaven and earth.

After a long while, Pei Xuanjing finished his cultivation, opened his eyes, and a spark of divinity flickered within his eyes.

He paused his disciple, who was about to leave to prepare breakfast: “Pang Hong.”

Pang Hong, dressed in the same dark-brown Taoist robe as Pei Xuanjing, stopped in his tracks, turned back, and saluted, “Master.”

“Get prepared in the next few days. We are heading to Taihe Mountain shortly,” Pei Xuanjing said nonchalantly.

“Yes,” Pang Hong nodded in agreement.

After Pang Hong left, Pei Xuanjing remained standing on the cliff, seemingly waiting for something.

“I’ve heard about your formidable strength, seeing it today proves it’s true,” a robed, white-haired yet youthful-looking old Taoist walked out and complimented Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing frowned and asked, “Who are you?”

He had a guess in mind; this person might be the mysterious one claiming to be a Shenxiao Sect member.

“I am Yu Zhenzi,” The old Taoist smiled and stated.

“Yu Zhenzi,” Pei Xuanjing uttered as if in contemplation.

As expected, the one who claimed to be Yu Zhenzi laughed, “I am Yu Zhenzi, the elder of the Shenxiao Sect.”

“Huh,” Pei Xuanjing scoffed, “Old Taoist, the Shenxiao Sect has been extinct for two hundred years, there shouldn’t be any elders left.”

What nonsense about being the head teacher of Shenxiao Sect, Shenxiao Sect was long gone.

Yu Zhenzi shook his head and confidently responded, “Shenxiao Mountain is still there, hence

Shenxiao Sect is not extinct. Shenxiao, being the supreme of the nine realms, could never perish.” Pei Xuanjing laughed, “In that case, why don’t you tell the Great Ming imperial court?”

What a bluff. If Shenxiao Sect was really that powerful, why would they be lingering on like this?

Yu Zhenzi’s face turned stern, he slowly stated, “I am here today to save you.”

Pei Xuanjing, doubting if he misheard, asked, “Excuse me?”

“I am here to save you,” Yu Zhenzi repeated.

“Haha, save me? You.” Pei Xuanjing laughed out loud as if he had just heard a ridiculous joke. Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s reaction, Yu Zhenzi, slightly discontent, asked, “Is that funny?” “Funny, of course it is!” Pei Xuanjing curbed his laughter and loudly stated.

“Save me? Pei Xuanjing needs no savior!”

His words exuded a debonair spirit that even affected Yu Zhenzi.

“No wonder you are the most famous person under the heaven. You truly deserve to be a hero from my Shenxiao Sect,” He first complimented Pei Xuanjing, then let out a long sigh and shook his head, “The strength of the Great Ming imperial court is not what you perceive, if it weren’t for the Tartar issue, you would have been ensnared…”

Before Yu Zhenzi could finish his sentence, Pei Xuanjing interrupted him abruptly, “And what if that’s true? In this world, nobody can stop me from going where I want to go!”

At that moment, Pei Xuanjing felt that he could step foot anywhere in the world he wanted to, a confidence so strong that nobody could hold him back.

Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s determination, Yu Zhenzi gave up persuading him. He thought to himself that it might be better to let him fall once and thus bring down his arrogance a notch.

He changed the subject, “In that case, I won’t say anymore. But there’s one more thing why I came here today.”

“What is it?”

“I want to invite my dear younger brother to rejoin our Sect.”

“Rejoin which Sect?” Pei Xuanjing queried.

Yu Zhenzi loudly stated, “Since you are from the branch lineage of the Shenxiao Sect, naturally you should return to Shenxiao Sect.”

“And then?” Pei Xuanjing asked.

Yu Zhenzi said, “The Great Ming royal family has been in power for too long. There are many who are unsatisfied, so we want to assist you, my dear brother, in overthrowing it.”

“Not interested, ” Pei Xuanjing decisively refused.

He had figured out these people’s mind.

Their only intention was to use his recent reputation, and along with it, rejuvenate the Shenxiao Sect’s reputation.

These people were simply trying to use him and his fame to achieve their own goals.

He had no interest in doing such charity work for them.

“What?” Yu Zhenzi seemed to have misheard.

Pei Xuanjing repeated, “I am not interested.”

These people might have some connections with Shenxiao Sect, but not as deep as he claimed.

“Why? Are you holding any illusions towards the Great Ming imperial court?” Yu Zhenzi expressed his confusion.

He couldn’t comprehend. The Great Ming imperial court had chased Pei Xuanjing for thousands of miles and the dispute was irreconcilable, yet he was unwilling to comply.

Pei Xuanjing looked directly at Yu Zhenzi and replied word by word, “I said I am not interested in joining you. Nothing more.”

Pei Xuanjing was not interested in siding with Yu Zhenzi. He didn’t like these people, who were like rats hiding in the dark, unable to step into the light. How could they accomplish anything significant?

If he was ever to overthrow the Great Ming, he would do it himself, instead of tagging along with this group of people.

With that, Pei Xuanjing asked, “Did Daoist Qingxu send for you?”

He wanted to ask one last question to confirm his suspicion.

Yu Zhenzi was startled, “Daoist Qingxu, the head teacher of Zhen Wu Sect?”

He wasn’t sure why Pei Xuanjing suddenly brought up Daoist Qingxu.

“As I thought!” Seeing Yu Zhenzi’s confused expression, Pei Xuanjing came to a conclusion.

These people probably had very little to do with Shenxiao Sect. In Pei Xuanjing’s view, they were merely a group of people waving the banner of Shenxiao Sect.

If they truly were the direct descendants left behind by Shenxiao Sect, they wouldn’t be ignorant of the relationship between Zhen Wu Sect and Shenxiao sect, much less be taken aback.

Though Yu Zhenzi remained clueless about Pei Xuanjing’s abrupt question and was puzzled at heart, He temporarily set that aside and continued persuading, “Brother Long Life Son, please reconsider.”

Pei Xuanjing suddenly turned hostile and retorted coldly, “Who is your brother?! Do not randomly claim relationships.”

He looked annoyed and disgusted at Yu Zhenzi.

Ever since he was accused of being associated with the remnants of Shenxiao, he was considered the real successor of Shenxiao Sect.

In Pei Xuanjing’s view, Shenxiao Sect was extinct.

If there was ever a time when Shenxiao Sect’s name needed to be reestablished, it would be he who would do so.

From this perspective, Yu Zhenzi was a competitor and therefore, an enemy.

“Humph!” Yu Zhenzi sneered, his aura of martial arts completely filled the air, an unperceivable pressure pressed towards Pei Xuanjing.

Just this little patience, and he still pretends to be a negotiator. Pei Xuanjing’s estimation of Yu Zhenzi in front of him dropped a notch.

“Sigh!”

Pei Xuanjing let out a light sigh, and his own profound martial arts aura surged out, directly confronting it..
