It’s important to understand that in this world, even the control of the Great Ming Empire is not sufficient to extend its reach to the lowest level.

Even with the local government offices’ assistance, there are still many minor forces that mingle within them, serving as assistants and hirelings for the Great Ming imperial court to manage local affairs.

These smaller forces not only bow to the government offices, but also must listen to the commands of major forces that dominate certain areas.

Without a doubt, the Taihe Mountain True Martial Sect is one of these dominating forces. Whether they like it or not, once their power grew, they naturally became this way.

With the True Martial Sect’s deterrence in the province they reside, no one would dare hinder their plans. They merely control things from behind the scenes, and are not attempting to incite a rebellion.

“Hahaha, Brother Pei, you flatter me, ” said Bai Xiaosheng, hearing Pei Xuanjing’s praise. Although he humbly said it was an overstatement, the joy in his eyes was not concealed.

Although this plan seemed simple, it was highly effective, making it the most appropriate solution for their three parties.

Pei Xuanjing asked with a smile, “I wonder if you’ve discussed this plan with the Qingxu Taoist already?”

Not only did he not object to the plan, he was actually thrilled about it.

Joseph even found a way to strengthen the body, however, this method of using thunder power to temper the body was not only slow, but also highly dependent on the weather.

If Bai Xiaosheng’s plan succeeds, it would mean the possibility of activating that formation early.

This could potentially break the seal ahead of schedule and start reviving Heaven and Earth.

Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s question, Bai Xiaosheng nodded, “I have already sent someone to the True Martial Sect. The Qingxu Taoist should not object to this matter.”

The fact that the True Martial Sect represented by the Qingxu Taoist had devoted their full attention to studying this formation was already an indirect confirmation of their desire to complete the formation.

Furthermore, the plan was to be carried out in the True Martial Sect’s territory, even if it failed, it would not cause a significant loss to the True Martial Sect.

On the contrary, it was Pei Xuanjing’s side that would be making a significant investment in the True Martial Sect due to this plan. If it succeeds, all will be well, but if it fails, they will gain nothing and incur substantial losses.

That’s why he sent someone to Taihe Mountain and personally came to Shenxiao Mountain, with the intention of persuading Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing quickly understood, realizing the profound implications of Bai Xiaosheng’s visit.

He laughed, “Brother Bai, why go to such lengths? Consider it a repayment for the help you both have provided me in the past.”

For Pei Xuanjing, all means were merely aids to his quest for power.

He consolidated the forces under the Lord of Shenxiao Gate. Regardless of what he did, it all ultimately aided his cultivation.

As long as today’s plan goes according to plan, he does not mind the power play, as long as it further smooths his path of cultivation.

For the likes of Yu Zhenzi and others, Pei Xuanjing would certainly not easily give up, as they proved to be useful tools and he had no plans to replace them.

Therefore, he would naturally devise a way to compensate them.

Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t sure of Pei Xuanjing’s exact thoughts, but he pledged, “Once this matter is settled, the Qingxu Taoist and I promise to give Brother Pei a satisfactory answer, guaranteeing you won’t suffer any loss.”

He understood that if an alliance was to last, it had to ensure fairness. If one party was at a disadvantage, compensation should be provided in another form.

An alliance where one party only gives, without receiving in return, is doomed to collapse, leading to enmity.

Bai Xiaosheng considers himself to be the one who understands the upcoming situation best, which is why he formed an alliance with the two strong forces, the Qingxu Taoist and Pei Xuanjing.

He would not allow the three parties’ alliance to disintegrate over trivial matters at this critical juncture.

Pei Xuanjing laughed. Since Bai Xiaosheng offered, he saw no reason to refuse.

After all, people like Yu Zhenzi under his command needed his support, and this could be used to reassure them.

Then he heard Bai Xiaosheng say, “Apart from this, Brother Pei also needs to take some actions to attract everyone’s attention and buy us time.”

This was a crucial part of the plan.

Pei Xuanjing, the former number one on the influential figures list, re-entering the martial arts world and stirring up trouble, would certainly attract everyone’s attention.

At this time, they could carry out all their actions under the cover of Pei Xuanjing’s momentum, making things convenient.

Pei Xuanjing smiled. He had no intention of refusing. He said with a laugh, “Brother Bai, how would it be if I challenge the Heroes using this opportunity and then announce my intent to reestablish Shenxiao in the process?”

After being closed off in contemplation at Shenxiao Mountain for so long, besides his brief skirmish with Zhao Baiyang, Pei Xuanjing had spent all other times honing his cultivation in solitude.

However, now he had so little of his martial arts skills left that it could not support him to carry out multiple simulations in refining Taoyun anymore.

So even if Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t made this request, Pei Xuanjing was ready to leave the mountain..
