Shenxiao Sect Fugitive: Pei Xuanjing.
Originating from the Everlasting Observance of the rebellious Shenxiao Sect, he is 24 years old. Although he’s classified as a Second-Class Martial Artist, he still has killed First-grade Martial Artists multiple times.
He is cruel and callous, excelling in sword and palm techniques. It’S suspected that he cultivated the Eighth Realm of the martial study, Dragon Elephant Art…
Reward: One high-grade martial arts skill, one martial art, ten vials of Heavenly Yuan Great Pill, a Thousand Refinement Divine Weapon, a Fourth-grade casual official post, and Ten Thousand Gold Taels.
Danger Level: First-Class,
Task: Alive or dead.
As Pei Xuanjing immersed himself in studying the Dragon Elephant Art, the bounty papers about him had already been spread throughout the four corners of the world by the imperial court’s messenger eagles.
At the same time, not only within the realms of Great Ming but also outside the border, word had spread that he was wanted by the Great Ming court.
By now, the news about Pei Xuanjing flooded the entire martial world, not only due to the hefty bounty placed on him, but also because of the acts he had committed during this period, along with his legendary exploits.
From a quiet youngster in a small city in the border county, he rose rapidly to join the strongest in the martial world in just a short time.
If stepping into Tiandu, initially facing the Three Wolves of MO Bei, decimating King Pingdeng, and eliminating the Yin Department’s foothold in Tiandu merely attracted the attention of anyone interested and various power forces to this recently emerging genius.
Then, when he cut down the deputy leader of the Mire Sect, a First-grade Martial Artist, later dealing with the immensely notorious figures such as the Ghost Emperor of the south and Black and White Impermanence from the Yin Department, it irrefutably made everyone familiar with Pei Xuanjing’s existence.
Just as many people lamented, questioning why such a genius would willingly serve the imperial court and degrade into a hunting dog, news of the Battle of Xuanfu shocked the martial world.
Needless to say, although the initial witnesses at the scene were all court officials, either Factory Guards or under the jurisdiction of the Capital Commanding Department, even after they issued a gag order, it was still to no avail.
Once a secret is revealed to a second person, it is no longer a secret.
Especially Pei Xuanjing•s statement: “No one can stop me from killing the one I want to kill, not even the emperor.”
For a moment, it simultaneously gave countless martial artists feelings of horror and excitement, making them aspire to his level.
With the dissemination of the imperial court’s bounty papers, such a rich reward undoubtedly indirectly confirmed the authenticity of those gossip.
As a Second-Class Martial Artist, he bravely decapitated the enemy general amidst encirclement by the Brocade Guards and fearlessly killed the multitude of experts and the guarded Commander Qian Ning.
Later, he faced besiegement from three First-grade Martial Artists. Not only did he not lose, but he even killed one of them. If it weren’t for the arrival of a large number of troops, the other two probably might’ve been killed as well.

We can’t deny that Pei Xuanjing’s style, although it resulted in a total loss of face for the Great Ming court and they want to kill him to warn others, in the eyes of ordinary martial artists, it portrays an extremely admirable image, and many people wish they could trade places with him.
This year, the person with the most notoriety in the martial world is Pei Xuanjing. “Looking at Pei Xuanjing’s actions, has it caused your plot to go down the drain?”
On Taihe Mountain, Bai Xiaosheng smirkly watched Taoist Qingxu with a fan in his hand.
But what surprised Bai Xiaosheng was that Taoist Qingxu still maintained his calm demeanor, seemingly unaffected by Pei Xuanjings actions.
Hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s words, he casually says, “Shouldn’t a person from the Shenxiao Sect be domineering?”
Bai Xiaosheng’s laughter abruptly ceased, and he had to admit that what he said was reasonable and unobjectionable.
Although the Shenxiao Sect belongs to the Taoist School, it does not have the serene and modest character possessed by most of the Taoist Schools. The entire sect carries the domineering character of that Feather Guest of Jinmen.
Needless to say, that person initially intended to dismiss the Buddhism School and exclusively recommend Shenxiao, and he almost succeeded.
The Shenxiao Sect has a dominant character that has been inherited for many years.
However, precisely because of this, not only does the Shenxiao Sect have deep enmity with the
Buddhism and Demonic Schools, but even within the Taoist School, many people dislike them.
This is why when the imperial court destroyed Shenxiao, other major Taoist powers turned a blind eye, and their inheritance was nearly cut off.
Recalling the past, Bai Xiaosheng heard Taoist Qingxu question him, “His action disrupted my plan. Didn’t it also disturb yours too?”
Bai Xiaosheng was stunned.
Indeed, if you really think about it, Pei Xuanjing was someone he had actively recommended to the Taoist before him.
His information network is sprawling, ranging not only within the Great Ming realm but also outside the border.
It can be said that from the moment Pei Xuanjing was in Anping Prefecture, he had grabbed his attention. It was only after Pei Xuanjing broke through the Third-grade Realm that he actively recommended him to the Taoist.
It’S precisely because of this that Pei Xuanjing was able to verify Qian Ning’S collusion with the Yin Department at Bai Xiaosheng’s base in Xuanfu, even though it cost him a significant price.
Otherwise, if anyone else tried, even if they paid more, they might not be able to obtain this kind of information. However, Pei Xuanjing didn’t know it.
“So, what’s next?” Bai Xiaosheng asked.
Although his investment in Pei Xuanjing was not too much, he always felt that the latter was the most suitable person, even if his current situation didn’t look great.
Taoist Qingxu nonchalantly said, “It’s easy to add flowers to a brocade, but it’s hard to bring coal in the snow.”
There was a glint in Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes as he curiously asked, “Wise Taoist, are you not afraid that the royal family and your group will turn against each other if you intervene in this matter?”
Taoist Qingxu chuckled and did not answer the question.
Far outside the border, Pei Xuanjing was unaware of what was happening within. He was oblivious to how much impact his actions had created, as his life simulation had just briefly touched upon them.
He was also unclear about Bai Xiaosheng and Taoist Qingxu’s conversation.
At that moment, he concluded his secluded practice, and his entire state had returned to its peak once more.
After living like a hermit for more than ten days, Pei Xuanjing exited the cave.
He determined his direction and chose a path, preparing to loop back inside the border.
With the knowledge from the life simulator, he knew there were many ferocious bandits outside the border, and his ensuing actions might attract the Tartar clans’ encirclement.
So, Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but wonder if he had inadvertently fallen into a mindset trap. Why should I return from outside the border? Indeed, had he not fled from Xuanfu?
But so what?
He just didn’t want to get caught in the sea of soldiers and their tactics, not because the experts in Xuanfu had the ability to threaten him.
Therefore, after understanding all this, Pei Xuanjing unhesitatingly chose a path diametrically opposite to that in his life simulator.
You must Imow that there are people’s lives waiting for him to take in Xuanfu City.
Considering himself a man of his word, Pei Xuanjing naturally wouldn’t want to disappoint those
people..
