Chapter 388: Chapter 335: Please Destroy the Demonic Cult
Translator: 549690339
So in this period of time, besides healing, Ye Daoyuan also used the resources in his hands to investigate a lot of things. It turns out that the Empress Dowager not only has the support of Brahman Gate, but she also receives submission from the Demonic Cult.
It can be said that, at this moment, the Dowager Empress not only has numerous party members in the court, but also has the strong support of both Brahman Gate and the Demonic Cult. Such two terrifying forces supporting together have drawn the great attention of Taoist School, leaving them exhausted from dealing with it.
That’s exactly why they couldn’t allocate too many martial arts masters, and they assigned Baiyun Zi, a minor Taoist with the third stage martial arts realm, to deliver the message and undertake such an important task.
Fortunately, Pei Xuanjing’s emergence relieved his urgent need, and his action of killing those four masters even allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief.
The reason why he wrote to Pei Xuanjing is because he needs Pei Xuanjing to do something.
That is, according to the information they received, there is a Demonic Cult stronghold outside the capital. It is a hideout for many high-ranking Demonic Cult members, who can’t easily enter the capital due to their identity. Therefore, they have to stay outside the capital, prepared to support the capital at any time.
This stronghold with so many high-ranking members of the Demonic Gate is a huge hidden danger for them, which could cause trouble at the crucial moment and must be eliminated.
Originally, the Taoist School intended to dispatch skilled cultivators to deal with this stronghold, but they do not have enough hands, and if they make a big move, it may alert the enemy and let them escape.
However, the emergence of Pei Xuanjing is just right and with his strength, he can easily deal with this matter even by himself.
“The Demonic Cult is also involved in this. This matter is getting more and more interesting.” Pei Xuanjing’s eyes were deep and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Although there was no news about the appearance of the Demonic Cult in his life simulation, he was not particularly surprised at the appearance of the Demonic Cult.
The underworld and the court have never been separate, and they can even be said to exist symbiotically.
Since both the Taoist School and the Brahman Gate have intervened in court affairs, unless there is no existence of the Demonic Cult in this world, based on the nature of the Demonic Cult which loves to stir up trouble, they will inevitably cause complications and interfere.
“Well, since the time is not ripe, I might as well go and see what the Demonic Cult of this world is capable of.” He thought to himself.
According to the information he received, there are many high-level practitioners in the Demonic Cult in this world. He wonders if there will be a chance to encounter any of them.
Puff!
Pei Xuanjing’s hand burst into hot flames, and the letter burned to ashes in his hand, disappearing without a trace.
He looked at Baiyun Zi in front of him and said with a smile, “The letter has been delivered. So what’s next for you?”
Baiyun Zi respectfully replied, “The master told me to invite some of his Taoist friends.”
“Good.” Pei Xuanjing nodded.
“Then I’ll take my leave.” Said Baiyun Zi.
Just as Baiyun Zi was about to leave, he heard Pei Xuanjing say, “Since we met, it’s fate. I will give you something.”
“Senior, you don’t need to…” Baiyun Zi tried to refuse, but was interrupted by Pei Xuanjing.
He shook his head and said, “You took the trouble to deliver the letter and also called me senior. If I don’t give you some benefits, I fear Ye Daoyuan will make fun of me for being stingy.’
After saying this, without giving the other party the chance to refuse, he sent a Sword Qi into Baiyun Zi’s body with a twist of his finger.
Baiyun Zi’s body shook, and he felt a path of Sword Qi moving inside his body. Wherever it passed, even his True Qi became purer.
“This Sword Qi contains some of my cultivation insights, you can ponder on them carefully during cultivation. I believe it will be of some help to you. In addition, it can also help you refine your True Qi to make it purer. Of course, the most important thing is that it can be used for defense in a critical moment. When you meet an enemy, use your True Qi to promote it and you can replicate up to 50% of my power, which should be enough to save your life.”
Given Pei Xuanjing’s current realm, even a casual Sword Qi from him can be of great help to Baiyun Zi, who is in the third stage of martial arts practice. The effect is very good.
The most important thing is that this Sword Qi can be used for self-defense. At critical times, it can be used as a killer move to save lives.
An expression of surprise appeared on Baiyun Zi’s face, he clearly understands the subtlety of this Sword Qi. It not only can greatly benefit his cultivation, it can also be used to save his life.
He knows that with this Sword Qi protecting him, it’s like he has an additional life-saving charm. Given the strength of the opponent, even if it’s just 50% of his power, there aren’t many people in the world who can resist it. Besides, if an enemy can block the Sword Saint’s 50% strength, he probably won’t be able to provoke them anyway.
He cupped his fists towards Pei Xuanjing and said, “Thank you, senior.”
Pei Xuanjing smiled and said, “Alright, I will give you this horse.”
As soon as his words fell, Pei Xuanjing disappeared from Baiyun Zi’s sight with a single step, leaving only the handsome horse.
“When will I be able to reach such a realm!” Baiyun Zi led the horse by the rein, sighing in his heart.
The Capital, King Yu’s Mansion.
On the surface, the court is calm, but under the surface, waves are surging and picking up strength. Many people can see it, some choose to retreat and look after themselves, some seize the opportunity to get benefits from the chaos, and some are hesitant and can’t make a decision.
King Yu, also known as Prince Xiang, who was belittling Ashina Zhenlu at the grand competition back then, is the eighth son of the former emperor and also the only brother of the current emperor who was born from the Dowager Empress.
As the one who spoke up during the grand comparison in the capital, he later gained the trust of the emperor. In these ten years, due to his special status, he won the emperor’s praise by making numerous impressive achievements with his wise and decisive handling of affairs. His ranks have been constantly elevated, and now, he has gathered a large number of talents under his command, which makes him a very powerful prince, ranking among the top in the royal family members.
However, facing the current situation in the court, King Yu is not showing his former decisiveness. Instead, he seems somewhat hesitant and indecisive.
“Sigh!” King Yu heaved a deep sigh, an extraordinarily rare look of worry appeared on his face.
His background has become his biggest shackles and constraints.
According to common sense, as a member of the royal family, he should firmly stand by the emperor’s side to defend the interests of the royal family without any hesitation in the conflicts between the emperor and the empress dowager.
But the awkward part is that the Dowager Empress is his mother. If he makes such a decision, it would mean cutting off the last bit of affection between mother and son.
But as a member of the royal family, he can’t just stand by and watch the empress dowager usurp the throne and seize the royal family’s interests. After all, as a member of the royal family, he knows exactly what this implies.
