He saw Pei Xuanjing as a young tiger, not because he underestimated Pei Xuanjing’s strength. Being able to kill the Lord of Shenxiao Gate, he would never take him lightly.

When he called him ‘young’, he meant that his rise was too brief, and he didn’t have the backing of any major force.

So even though he now has a tremendous power, he lacks in many other aspects, and all these deficiencies require time to rectify.

Of course, all of this is based on the assumption under which he was unaware that Pei Xuanjing had arranged for Yu Zhenzi to take over the forces left by the Lord of Shenxiao Gate. If he knew this, perhaps Zhao Baiyang wouldn’t have said such a thing.

“I see!” Yu Yiyao’s expression grew gravely serious.

She didn’t have as many considerations as Zhao Baiyang. Hearng her master’s words, she simply compared and deduced that Pei Xuanjing, who was able to kill the Lord of Shenxiao Gate, was naturally stronger than the former.

Moreover, this Pei Xuanjing also held a significant number of grudges with their Mire Sect, and would likely become the Mire Sect’s nemesis now or in future.

“Hehe.” Zhao Baiyang laughed faintly, to the bewildered gaze of Yu Yiyao, and said confidently, “As expected of the adversary chosen by me, perhaps it is time for me to meet him.”

As for the growth of Pei Xuanjing, Zhao Baiyang initially had the idea of preparing an opponent for himself.

After all, if he really didn’t want Pei Xuanjing to grow into his current state, back then at the Wild Mountain Ancient Temple, even at the risk of being injured, he could undoubtedly have killed Pei Xuanjing. This point is beyond doubt.

“Master, do you plan to involve him in that matter?” Yu Yiyao was surprised as she heard her master’s words.

“Indeed, he is entirely qualified to participate in it. As a sign of respect, I will personally invite him, and by the way, see how much he has grown.”

As the leader of the Mire Sect for over tens of yeas, Zhao Baiyang had done many things that others couldn’t understand. No one knew what he was planning, what his real goal was, not even Yu Yiyao.

Yu Yiyao only knew that her master was not at all concerned about the Northwest Dao, even after the years of failing plans, he simply laughed it off.

And not long ago, her master had revealed a plan that nearly made Yu Yiyao speechless with astonishment.

The beginning of spring, the time of warm weather and blooming flowers.

Pei Xuanjing, wearing a green shirt and the Shenxiao Sword hanging from his waist, leisurely traveled the official road on his horse.

Suddenly, the clear sky was shrouded with dark clouds, making the weather appear dismal.

“Hmm, it seems that the task of obtaining the Netherworld Book won’t be as simple as depicted in the human life simulation.” He looked at the gloomy sky and muttered to himself.

After the Netherworld Book started acting up, Pei Xuanjing descended from Shenxiao Mountain and followed the clues. It took him a whole month to arrive here.

To avoid drawing attention, Pei Xuanjing did not wear a Daoist robe but just a green shirt. As per his youthful face, he looked like a young nobleman taking his first adventure in the martial world.

Oddly enough, when he arrived here in this picturesque place, the usually restless Netherworld Book suddenly fell silent, as if there had never been an aberration.

Pei Xuanjing searched here for several days. If he had not accidentally felt a slight response from the Netherworld Book, he was about to give up.

Today, the usually sunny sky suddenly became gloomy. Pei Xuanjing had a hunch that something was about to happen.

After all, judging by the season, even if it was about to rain, the weather would not become this strange.

Boom!

There were rumblings of spring thunder in the sky, echoing from the distance.

With the sound of thunder, the page of Netherworld Book in Pei Xuanjing’s arms also had a movement.

The originally icy and silent Netherworld Book started to slowly get hotter and hotter, constantly quaking as if urging Pei Xuanjing to move forward.

After determining a direction, he urged his horse to move forward.

The sound of thunder was getting closer, and a light rain began to fall from the sky.

Pei Xuanjing had travelled about tens of miles, winding around to a hidden valley.

The entrance of the valley was shielded by rising mist, the dense fog made it impossible to see the scenery inside the valley.

Even with Pei Xuanjing’s sharp perception, he was still blocked by the mist and couldn’t perceive anything.

As Pei Xuanjing arrived, he found that a group of people was already gathered here.

“Ah, it’s her?” A look of surprise appeared in Pei Xuanjing’s eyes.

There were about a dozen people in the group, all of whom were about the same age as Pei Xuanjing, likely the new generation of martial artists in the martial world.

To his astonishment, Pei Xuanjing recognized one of them.

She was Li Yuzhen, the young lady of Li family from Longxi, who he had once met in the blessed land of the forbidden place in Anping Prefecture.

Ever since Pei Xuanjing left Anping Prefecture, they had never met again all these years.

However, Pei Xuanjing was aware that she had not only broken through to the realm of third-grade grandmaster, but also made it to the Potential Dragon List issued by Bai Xiaosheng.

Why is she here?

And why are these people gathering here for?

Are there people from the netherworld among them, or do they also know about the Netherworld Book?

Pei Xuanjing was a bit confused as it had no hint of these people’s appearance in his life simulation.

At the same time Pei Xuanjing was guessing their purpose, they naturally discovered the arrival of Pei Xuanjing.

Of course, this was because Pei Xuanjing did not try to conceal his presence, otherwise it would have been very easy for him to avoid their detection.

“What? It’s him!” Surprise flashed in Li Yuzhen’s eyes as she looked at Pei Xuanjing.

This man, who she only had a fleeting encounter with, had left a deep impression on her.

Although he seemed quite ordinary when they first met, in the following period, his actions had continuously shocked the world, making it impossible for her to forget him.

“Yuzhen, do you know him?” An young man standing next to her asked Li Yuzhen.

His tone was gentle and he seemed polite, and combined with his decent face, he seemed like a young gentleman.

Immediately, everyone’s eyes fell on Li Yuzhen.

They had gathered here with a specific purpose.

Originally, they were very alert to Pei Xuanjing, a stranger who suddenly appeared, and some even planned to drive him away.

But seeing Li Yuzhen’s reaction, it seemed that she knew this man, which made some feeling hesitant.

Li Yuzhen was one of the leaders in their group. If she wanted to invite this man to join, it would be hard for them to refuse.

However, having one more person join might dilute some people’s shares. This was indeed a dilemma..
