Chapter 182 Going Down the Mountain, Young Tiger, Meeting Again (52k Chapter)

Chapter 182 Going down the mountain, meeting the young tiger again (5.2k chapter)

Since this page of the underworld book fell into Pei Xuanjing's hands, it has no other use except for obtaining a lot of Dao Yun value after refining.

Pei Xuanjing has tried many methods, such as tempering with true qi, roasting with fire, soaking in water, dripping blood, etc., but the page of the underworld book remains the same without any reaction.

If it were not for the certainty that this page of the underworld book is a genuine treasure, Pei Xuanjing almost had the idea of ​​abandoning it.

However, during a certain life simulation, he accidentally triggered the refining of this page of the underworld book during the simulation, but he died in the end because of the backlash of the underworld book.

Pei Xuanjing was not only curious about this page of the underworld book, but also full of deep fear.

However, fear is fear, since the underworld book has moved, Pei Xuanjing will naturally not let it go.

He temporarily stopped his retreat, left Shenxiao Mountain, and then followed the direction indicated by the underworld book's movement.

As of now, Pei Xuanjing's strength has reached the pinnacle of martial arts. Unless there are more than three Jianghu Supreme-level masters who join forces to ambush him, or thousands of troops to encircle him, he is not afraid of anyone.

As for accumulating Dao Yun to start the next life simulation, Pei Xuanjing is not in a hurry.

Although the leader of Shenxiao Sect is powerful, he has always been famous because he wants to avoid the pursuit of the Ming Dynasty court. His reputation is only circulated in a small range. People who have not reached a certain status and strength are not qualified to know his existence.

However, even so, when the news that Pei Xuanjing killed the leader of Shenxiao Sect spread, countless people who knew about him were shocked.

It should be clear that even if Bai Xiaosheng did not list him on the Jianghu Supreme List, many forces and masters who knew of his existence tacitly assumed that he was a master second only to the Jianghu Supreme.

Now Pei Xuanjing killed him, which is tantamount to the birth of another strong man who can almost be on par with the Jianghu Supreme.

At this moment, the name of the Taoist killer Pei Xuanjing can be said to make many people shudder. Especially those forces and figures who were originally connected with the Lord of Shenxiao Sect.

If the killing of the Lord of Shenxiao Sect was concealed, then it could be easily suppressed for the time being.

However, Pei Xuanjing not only chose not to conceal it, but also used Bai Xiaosheng's hand to fan the flames behind the scenes and spread the matter.

This move is to let many people understand that Pei Xuanjing has decided to reshape the lintel of Shenxiao Sect. This is a declaration to some people, so that they put away some thoughts that they should not have.

Of course, it is also for those warriors who originally gathered under the command of the Lord of Shenxiao Sect and relied on the blessing of the Lord of Shenxiao Sect to obtain the inheritance of Shenxiao Sect.

Let them know that Pei Xuanjing's strength has far exceeded that of the Lord of Shenxiao Sect, and they need to consider how to face Pei Xuanjing, a strong man with the orthodox identity of Shenxiao Sect.

Therefore, when Yu Zhenzi led four first-class warriors to slowly accept the original power of the Lord of Shenxiao Sect, the resistance he encountered was far less than he expected.

After all, the Lord of Shenxiao Sect is dead now, and the only person who can take care of them and is willing to protect them is Pei Xuanjing.

If they cannot take shelter under the big tree of Pei Xuanjing, then they will not only have to face the pursuit of the Ming Dynasty court, but also face a purge.

"If the next things go as smoothly as today, then in about half a year, all the original people will be able to come over." Yu Zhenzi said with a smile.

At this time, he had just accepted the surrender of a group of people who originally belonged to the power of the Lord of Shenxiao Sect, with a smile on his face.

Ever since seeing Pei Xuanjing kill the two Lords of Shenxiao Sect, Yu Zhenzi knew that the next thing would be simpler than he expected.

And as expected, after waiting for them to return to the secret base of the Lord of Shenxiao Sect and obtain the list, they went to each family one by one according to the records on the list.

During this period of time, they have recruited nearly a hundred people. Except for some stubborn people or those who are notorious for their crimes, they have cleared them out by themselves. The rest are all under their command.

Deng Zhong, who was standing by, also had a happy look on his face and nodded in agreement: "Yes, if we can recruit all these people, when we re-establish Shenxiao in the future, it will definitely not be inferior to those big forces."

Originally, Deng Zhong and the other four were not so convinced to surrender to Pei Xuanjing. They just surrendered under the pressure of the situation and because of the threat of their own life and death.

Not to mention that Pei Xuanjing left sword intent on them as a threat, which made them feel even more resentful.

However, doing these things with Yu Zhenzi during this period of time gradually dissipated the resentment in their hearts, especially when they saw more and more people surrendering, they could still maintain their high position.

Therefore, they are doing their best at the moment, after all, it is just as Yu Zhenzi analyzed for them.

As long as all these forces are integrated, then when Pei Xuanjing re-establishes the Shenxiao Sect, he will surely become a figure like the supreme ruler of the martial arts world.

Now Pei Xuanjing has no subordinates, and they can be regarded as veterans, and in the future they will be able to become important figures comparable to those big forces.

This is better than what they are like now, being wanted by the Ming court and hiding all day long.

Thinking of this, several people completely put aside their dissatisfaction and followed Yu Zhenzi wholeheartedly to complete this matter.

Regarding matters related to his future, Deng Zhong considered things more comprehensively. He whispered: "But even if these people are temporarily subdued, I'm afraid they won't be able to do their best. I'm afraid if there is any trouble, these people will disperse again, or they will disperse. To carry out the affairs of Qin, Mu and Chu."

His worries are not unreasonable. These people can easily let go of being the master of the Shenxiao Sect, and will easily betray them in the future.

"Haha, so what." Yu Zhenzi said disdainfully, as if he didn't care about the matter at all.

"The so-called strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough wind knows the loyal ministers. Without the support of these people, how can we show our loyalty?" Yu Zhenzi said with a smile.

Ever since Pei Xuanjing showed his divine power, Yu Zhenzi had completely surrendered to Pei Xuanjing, abandoning the so-called face, and regarded himself as Pei Xuanjing's most loyal subordinate.

He even thought maliciously in his heart that if Pei Xuanjing encounters any disturbance in the future, then these people will be on opposite ends of the spectrum, but he still remains true to his original intention. Isn't this just a way to show off his loyalty?

Deng Zhong suddenly understood and heard Yu Zhenzi say quietly: "What's more, do you think there is anyone in the world who can pose a threat to Pei Xuanjing?"

Yu Zhenzi may have more confidence in Pei Xuanjing than Pei Xuanjing himself.

From Yu Zhenzi's point of view, Pei Xuanjing currently has extremely strong strength, and he also has the support and cooperation of two forces represented by Taoist Qingxu and Bai Xiaosheng. This is a force that can shock the world.

When he helped the other party take over these forces that originally belonged to the Shenxiao Sect, he made up for the last shortcoming in the puzzle of Pei Xuanjing's strength.

With the cooperation of the three parties, not to mention the entire Jianghu, even if they want to leverage the rule of the Ming royal family, it is not a bad idea.

Just when Yuzhenzi was looking forward to the future, someone was also talking about this matter.

At the Maitreya Sect stronghold, the leader Zhao Baiyang listened to the report of his disciple Yu Yiyao.

"Master, you are really good at predicting things. The leader of the Shenxiao Sect is indeed a person who fails to succeed but fails to succeed. Not only did Pei Xuanjing not be killed in this ambush, he was also killed on the spot." Yu Yiyao said with admiration. He looked at the master and said.

Originally, she thought that the master of Shenxiao Sect ambushed Pei Xuanjing, even if it would not succeed, Pei Xuanjing would still be injured if he escaped by chance.

But she didn't expect that the result was completely beyond her expectation. This time, Pei Xuanjing faced the ambush by the leader of the Shenxiao Sect. He neither died nor was injured. Instead, he killed the leader of the Shenxiao Sect who wanted to ambush him. Beheaded on the spot.

After hearing the news, Yu Yiyao was so shocked that she didn't speak for a long time. The other party is indeed as Master said, already standing on par with Master.

Of course, this is because when Bai Xiaosheng delivered the news, he completely concealed the existence of himself and Taoist Qingxu, completely highlighting Pei Xuanjing, making his record this time look even more terrifying.

But no matter what, at this moment, Yu Yiyao no longer had any intention of competing with the other party.

Yu Yiyao lamented that her master knew things like a god, but unexpectedly, Zhao Baiyang, the leader of Maitreya who was praised and complimented by him, did not feel the slightest bit happy at this moment, but had a solemn expression on his face.

"If possible, I would rather my guess fail this time. But unexpectedly, it turned out to be a prophecy, and I got it right."

"Master, what do you mean by this?" Yu Yiyao asked in confusion, "Logically speaking, although the master of the Shenxiao Sect has cooperated with us, he has also had conflicts. This time Pei Xuanjing killed the opponent, which can be regarded as a let-down. One less problem for us.”

There are only so many forces in the arena, and their interests are fixed. It is inevitable that there will be conflicts and collisions between the various forces.

Even though the Maitreya Sect and the leader of the Shenxiao Sect had cooperated during Prince Ning's rebellion and jointly started a riot on the Northwest Road, it did not mean that the two sides were close, but that there was a considerable gap between the two sides.

Otherwise, after the master of the Shenxiao Sect heard about Prince Ning's death, his first reaction was to dispatch the masters from the Northwest Path to return.

On the one hand, it was because he knew that Zhu Chenhao was dead and all his plans this time were in vain; on the other hand, it was not because he was afraid that Maitreya leader Zhao Baiyang had the intention to harm them.

And in the end, just as he had guessed, Zhao Baiyang walked away, leaving many forces in the Northwest Road to take the blame, and the leader of the Shenxiao Sect also managed to escape.

Glancing at Yu Yiyao who was slightly confused, Zhao Baiyang shook his head and said: "The dead Shenxiao Sect Master was just a wolf at best, but the current Pei Xuanjing is a tiger. Even if this tiger is still a little weak, he is not a wolf. Comparable.”

Although the leader of Shenxiao Sect is strong, he is not taken seriously by Zhao Baiyang.

In his opinion, the other party may have been lurking in the darkness for too long, too timid, and lacked the courage to really give it a try.

What the other party is thinking about is just the immediate calculation of gains and losses, and he is not considered a powerful person at all.

But Pei Xuanjing is different. Zhao Baiyang thinks highly of Pei Xuanjing, but the other party still breaks his expectations time and time again, which makes Zhao Baiyang extremely surprised.

Not that he was boasting, but he could almost see in Pei Xuanjing the shadow of his own rise, even more so.

He regarded Pei Xuanjing as a young tiger, but it was not that he looked down upon Pei Xuanjing's strength. After all, he would not despise the being who could kill the leader of the Shenxiao Sect.

What he meant by "young" was that the other party's rise was too short-lived, and it was not yet backed by a major force.

So even though it is extremely powerful now, it still has various deficiencies in other aspects, which all require time to accumulate.

Of course, all this is based on the fact that the other party does not know that Pei Xuanjing has arranged Yu Zhenzi to take over the power left by the Lord of Shenxiao Sect. If he knew about this, I am afraid Zhao Baiyang would not say so.

"I see!" Yu Yiyao's face also became solemn and serious.

She did not consider as much as Zhao Baiyang did. She just heard what her master said and made a simple comparison. Pei Xuanjing, who could kill the Lord of Shenxiao Sect, was naturally more powerful than the former.

Moreover, Pei Xuanjing and his Maitreya Sect still had a lot of grievances. I am afraid that in the future or now, he will be the enemy of Maitreya Sect.

"Hehe." Zhao Baiyang chuckled, and in Yu Yiyao's surprised eyes, he said confidently: "It is worthy of being the opponent selected by this seat. Maybe this seat really needs to find a time to meet the other party."

For Pei Xuanjing's growth, Zhao Baiyang had the idea of ​​preparing an opponent for himself.

After all, if he really didn't want Pei Xuanjing to grow up to today, he was completely sure to kill Pei Xuanjing in the ancient temple in the deserted mountain, even if he was injured. There is no doubt about this.

"Master, do you want him to participate in that matter?" Yu Yiyao couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard the master's words.

"Yes, he is fully qualified to participate in it. As a respect, I will invite him in person and see how much he has grown."

As the leader of Maitreya for decades, Zhao Baiyang has done many things that others can't understand. No one knows what he is planning and what his real purpose is, even Yu Yiyao doesn't know.

Yu Yiyao just knows that for the Northwest Road event that has been planned for many years, even after the failure, the master didn't care at all, but laughed it off.

Not long ago, the master mentioned a plan, a plan that almost made Yu Yiyao dumbfounded.

March, the season of spring and flowers.

Pei Xuanjing wore a green shirt, with the Shenxiao sword hanging on his waist, riding a horse, and walked leisurely on the official road.

Suddenly, the sky that was originally clear was covered with dark clouds and became gloomy.

"Well, it seems that the things we have to go through to seize the Book of Hell this time are not as simple as what is said in the life simulation." He looked at the gloomy sky and muttered to himself.

After the Book of Hell moved, Pei Xuanjing went down Shenxiao Mountain and followed the instructions all the way. It took him a month to arrive here.

In order not to attract attention, Pei Xuanjing did not wear a Taoist robe, but only a blue shirt, which matched his young face, as if he was a young man from a noble family who had just started out and ventured into the world.

But surprisingly, when he arrived at this beautiful place, the Book of Hell, which had been moving constantly, suddenly became quiet, as if the previous movement had not happened.

Pei Xuanjing wandered here for several days. If he had not accidentally felt that the Book of Hell had a slight reaction, he would have almost given up.

Just today, the sky, which was always clear, suddenly became gloomy. Pei Xuanjing had a guess in his heart that something was about to happen.

After all, at this time of year, even if it was going to rain, the weather would not become so weird.

Rumble!

There were constant muffled sounds of spring thunder in the sky, stretching from afar.

As the sound of spring thunder sounded, the page of the underworld book in Pei Xuanjing's arms began to move.

The originally cold and silent underworld book began to slowly heat up, getting hotter and hotter, and constantly trembling, as if urging Pei Xuanjing to move forward.

After he determined a direction, he urged the horse to move forward.

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

Pei Xuanjing had traveled about ten miles and turned to a hidden valley.

The entrance to the valley was blocked by the rising mist, and the fog was heavy, so the scenery in the valley could not be seen clearly.

Even when Pei Xuanjing explored with his keen perception, he was still blocked by the mist and could not feel anything.

When Pei Xuanjing arrived, he found that a group of people had already gathered here.

"Huh, it was her?" Pei Xuanjing's eyes showed a look of surprise.

There were about a dozen people in this group, all of them were young and almost the same age as Pei Xuanjing, and they should be the young generation of warriors in the martial arts world today.

What surprised Pei Xuanjing was that he actually knew one of them.

She was Li Yuzhen, the eldest daughter of the Longxi Li family, whom Pei Xuanjing had met by chance in the secret land of Anping Prefecture.

Speaking of which, since Pei Xuanjing left Anping Prefecture, so many years have passed, but the two have never met.

Of course, Pei Xuanjing also knew that the other party had not only broken through to the level of a third-grade master, but also made it to the Hidden Dragon List issued by Bai Xiaosheng.

Why did she come here?

And why did she gather here with these people?

Are there people from the underworld among these people, or do they also know the news of the Book of Hell?

Pei Xuanjing was a little confused. In his life simulation, there had never been any news about the appearance of these people.

While Pei Xuanjing was guessing the purpose of these people, they naturally discovered the appearance of Pei Xuanjing.

Of course, this is because Pei Xuanjing was not able to hide his figure, otherwise it would be very easy to avoid the perception of these people.

"Huh? Why is it him!" When Li Yuzhen looked at Pei Xuanjing's face, a trace of shock flashed in her eyes.

She still has a deep memory of this person who she only met once.

After all, the other party was so ordinary when she first met him, but in the following time, he did so many shocking things that she couldn't help but know.

"Yuzhen, do you know him?" A young man next to him asked Li Yuzhen.

His tone was gentle and elegant, and coupled with his good face, he really looked like a young hero.

For a moment, everyone's eyes also looked at Li Yuzhen.

They gathered here, naturally there was something to do.

Originally, they were very wary of Pei Xuanjing, a stranger who suddenly appeared, and some even planned to expel him.

But looking at Li Yuzhen's performance, it seemed that he knew this person, which made some people a little embarrassed.

After all, Li Yuzhen was also one of the leaders in their group. If she wanted to invite this person to join, it would be difficult for them to refuse.

But if one more person joined, it might dilute the benefits of some people, which was a dilemma.
