At that moment, Pei Xuanjing was riding a horse, leisurely strolling on the official road.

According to Yu Zhenzi’s words that day, the idea was to lure Pei Xuanjing with a legendary artifact of the Shenxiao Sect. They would await for him to leave halfway towards his destination.

As expected, half a month after Pei Xuanjing and Yu Zhenzi’s discussion, rumors appeared about a Shenxiao Sect’s artifact showing up in public, which was not too far from where Pei Xuanjing was on Shenxiao Mountain.

Upon receiving the news, Pei Xuanjing remained stationary, but it was not until the message from Bai Xiaosheng arrived that Qingxu Zi had arrived that he leisurely left Shenxiao Mountain.

“Humph, I knew he would not be able to resist,” the Lord of Shenxiao Gate said disdainfully.

This plan was personally determined by him, and the artifact was indeed a real Shenxiao Sect inheritance. He wouldn’t bear to part with it if it weren’t for luring Pei Xuanjing.

Initially, when the news was conveyed, Pei Xuanjing showed no signs of moving at all. This made the Lord of Shenxiao Gate almost think that his plan had failed.

But now, seeing Pei Xuanjing on the distant official road, a satisfied smile appeared on the Lord of Shenxiao Gate’s face.

“The Gate Lord is wise, we admire your foresight,” Yu Zhenzi and several other first-grade martial artists complimented him.

In reality, in their minds, they criticized the Lord of Shenxiao Gate’s plan as unreliable.

They thought it’d be better to directly storm Shenxiao Mountain rather than wasting efforts in such a way. After all, Pei Xuanjing didn’t have any assistance.

However, within their ranks, the Lord of Shenxiao Gate had the final say; they could only reluctantly agree with his plan.

Now that they saw Pei Xuanjing being lured in, they had to reluctantly praise the Gate Lord for his ingenious plan, even though they didn’t agree.

Yu Zhenzi sneered in his heart: Ingenious my ass. If I hadn’t notified him ahead of time, he wouldn’t show up.

At the same time, he was puzzled. The original Lord of Shenxiao Gate was very powerful, but in recent years, he had become arrogant and presumptuous, as if he had become another person altogether.

Of course, these words were something Yu Zhenzi would never dare to say out loud.

The Lord of Shenxiao Gate was unaware of the thoughts of his subordinates. He waved his hand and said, “Follow me. We will execute Pei Xuanjing and clean our house.”

“Yes. ”

Multiple swooshing sounds followed as the Lord of Shenxiao Gate led five top-grade martial artists, including Yu Zhenzi, to block the road ahead of Pei Xuanjing.

Seeing the six people suddenly appearing in front of him, Pei Xuanjing flashed a smile at the corner of his mouth then put on a solemn face and questioned, “Who are you people? Why are you blocking my way?”

Cloaked in a black robe, the Shenxiao Gate Lord’s voice radiated from beneath his hat, “I am the Lord of Shenxiao Gate. I am here today to take your life.”

Pei Xuanjing laughed out loud, “Just you lot?”

Except for the Lord of Shenxiao Gate, who was shrouded in a black robe, the faces of the other five people, including Yu Zhenzi, wereshowing their true colors.

When Pei Xuanjing finished speaking, he glanced at Yu Zhenzi as though he was inquiring about the identity of this Lord of Shenxiao Gate.

After all, I laid a trap to kill the Gate Lord here.

If the Gate Lord was an imposter, it would be like startling the snake in the grass.

Yu Zhenzi subtly nodded at Pei Xuanjing, indicating that the identity of the Gate Lord was correct.

Then, the Lord of Shenxiao Gate laughed loudly: “Pei Xuanjing, you are doomed today. Even though you are exceptional, your luck has run out upon seeing me. Just surrender and die!”

After saying this, he waved his hand and coldly commanded, “Kill him!”

The five first-grade martial artists, upon hearing the command of the Lord of Shenxiao Gate, fiercely made their move.

Seeing that Pei Xuanjing had visually signaled to him to not betray their plan for the time being, Yu Zhenzi, though puzzled, drew his sword and joined the attack, obeying Pei Xuanjing’s signal.

The five first-grade martial artists, striking with all their might, kicked up a storm of dust and wind.

As first-grade martial artists, they were at the peak of martial arts. Each of them possessed immense strength, enough to rout thousands of soldiers without a martial artist of equal strength to lead them.

At this moment, the five of them joined forces, and even if they were not top-tier powerhouses among first-grade martial artists, the momentum they displayed was enough to make supreme figures step aside out of awe.

Pei Xuanjing remained unmoved sitting on his horse. The powerful wind made his clothes flutter and his long hair dance wildly.

“Hahaha…”

First, Pei Xuanjing chuckled lightly, then it gradually turned into a hearty laugh, his robust pleasant voice echoing throughout the surrounding area and resonating across the heaven and earth spanning hundreds of feet around him.

Along with martial will imbued in it, Pei Xuanjing’s laughter was as loud as a thunderbolt, ringing in the ears of the few people around him.

If they had been ordinary martial artists, they may not have been able to handle Pei Xuanjing’s laughter alone, as they would have been suppressed by his martial will.

However, these few people were all first-grade martial artists. Their martial will permeated their bodies, and while they were incapable of launching a counterattack, they were still able to resist the influence of Pei Xuanjing’s laughter.

Upon seeing that the group was unaffected, Pei Xuanjing remained unfazed.

He slowly lifted his right hand and clenched his five fingers. Turning his hand into a palm, a giant palm print was blasted towards the attackers.

Boom!

In the eyes of the five fighters, it was as if a giant mountain was falling from the sky, ready to suppress them.

“He’s become stronger.” Yu Zhenzi’s eyes showed intense shock.

Even though Pei Xuanjing held back intentionally, he was among the least affected of the bunch. He could still feel the immense power contained within the palm print.

Similarly, because he was the least affected, he was able to ponder the situation.

Compared to when Pei Xuanjing first made his move on Shenxiao Mountain, he seemed much stronger now.

Bang!

A violent shock swept through the surroundings, severing countless grasses and trees by the strong shock wave. The group of five fighters was pushed back by Pei Xuanjing’s palm strike.

“Hahaha, Taoist friend, shall I take care of these people?” Clear, loud laughter flowed from Qingxu Zi as he and Bai Xiaosheng leaped towards the site from afar.

Before they arrived, their voices had already reached them.

Only a few moments later, Qingxu Zi and Bai Xiaosheng stood at Pei Xuanjing•s side.

“Zhenwu Sect, Qingxu Zi.”

“Bai Xiaosheng.”

“Are you also going to get involved in the matter between him and me?” A deep voice rang out from the Shenxiao Gate Master, icy cold.

Alongside Yu Zhenzi, the faces of the other four first-grade martial artists also darkened.

Even though their previous attack had failed, as long as the Shenxiao Gate Master was backing them, they had the confidence that the five first-grade martial artists, along with the Gate Master, would certainly be able to kill Pei Xuanjing here.

But when Qingxu Zi and Bai Xiaosheng appeared, these people quickly lost their confidence they had before.

At this moment, they suddenly felt that they were not ambushing Pei Xuanjing, but rather he was waiting for them.

Sure enough, Pei Xuanjing said leisurely, “Shenxiao Gate Master, who exactly is going to die?”
