Let’S not mention that the enemy is now seriously injured, on the brink of death.
Even if Wang Bo’an could miraculously revive Lawlessness, what then?
To Pei Xuanjing, a defeated opponent has lost the chance to defeat him again.
If it were anyone else, there might be some possibility. However, unless Lawlessness could break the current barriers of the Martial Arts, facing Pei Xuanjing’s almost identical Sword Intent, he could only live in his shadow for the rest of his life.
“Thank you!” A smile appeared on Wang Bo’an’s face as he bowed in gratitude to Pei Xuanjing.
He nodded inwardly, satisfied his intuition was right, Pei Xuanjing was not bloodthirsty. Although somewhat domineering, he was not devoid of sympathy.
“No need for formalities, sir.” Pei Xuanjing shook his head.
“Ahem… No need to turn down my courtesy, sir.” Lawlessness managed a bitter smile.
As the Chief Capturer of Six Gates, he was bound to know Wang Bo’an, the Minister of War’s favored official. It could even be said that the two had deep acquaintance.
Although he was considerably older than Wang Bo’an , he greatly admired Wang’s knowledge and character, and had always addressed him as a gentleman.
“Your injuries are severe. Please conserve your strength.” Wang Bo’an channeled a stream of True Qi into Lawlessness, returning some color to his pallid face.
Silence reigned over Long Street.
All eyes were on Wang Bo’an, who was treating Lawlessness, and Pei Xuanjing, who stood by with a smile.
“From today onwards, I fear another supreme leader will rise in the world of martial arts.” “Though not yet ranked as a supreme leader, he already stands shoulder to shoulder with them.”
“Do you think he will re-establish the Shenxiao Sect?”
“Re-establish the Shenxiao Sect? Hiss, that’s highly possible!”
Listening to the heated discussions of the surrounding martial artists, Ma Wuji and the others were not in the least bit interested in joining in.
Right now, all Ma Wuji could do was silently curse the Chief Capturer of the famed Six Gates, Lawlessness, for being useless, as he couldn’t even defeat Pei Xuanjing.
His only concern was how to survive this ordeal:
Based on what Pei Xuanjing initially said, coupled with the appearance of Lawlessness and his group, they had no alternative but to fight.
Whether on moral or strength grounds, they were at a severe disadvantage. Just as he was filled with apprehension, Pei Xuanjing called out in Long Street:
“Master Ma, do you have anything else to say?”
The resounding words spread across the surroundings, and all eyes fell on Ma Wuji.
At this moment, Ma Wuji wanted to run away, but he knew very well that he’d been targeted, and any sign of fleeing would incite Pei Xuanjing’s wrath.
His face alternated between shades of pallor and flushes. He sighed deeply, resigned to his fate.
“Today, you single-handedly swept through my Justice Hall, causing us to lose face. As Justice Hall is inferior, we have nothing to say.”
“Hehe.” Pei Xuanjing sneered.
He could hear the stubbornness in his voice, even in the face of unavoidable defeat.
He didn’t repudiate his collusion with the Six Gates, instead played the victim, making Pei Xuanjing seem like a bully.
“Don’t you want to explain your connection with Six Gates?”
“There’s nothing to explain. Justice Hall has nothing to do with the Six Gates. We did not even know they were coming.”
At this point, Ma Wuji could only grit his teeth and deny everything.
Furthermore, he was confident that the people from the Six Gates wouldn’t betray him.
With Wang Bo’an’s protection, Pei Xuanjing would not attack them.
If the Six Gates choose to betray him, given this precedent, who in the martial arts world would dare cooperate with them in the future?
His assumptions assured, Ma Wuji firmly believes that if he denies everything, today will be seen as a mere challenge from an outsider and acknowledge his defeat.
The shrewd Ma Wuji counted on one thing: if he had lost earlier, it might have been humiliating.
But now, everyone knew Pei Xuanjing was a supreme leader in the martial arts world. Losing to such a strong opponent, Justice Hall wouldn’t lose face.
Even as he grew stronger in the future, they would share his glory.
Just as he expected, the people from Six Gates did not expose him.
They were already at odds with Pei Xuanjing, why would they cooperate with him to expose Justice Hall?
Some even thought they could use this opportunity to draw Justice Hall under their control.
“It seems Master Ma is determined not to admit it,” Pei Xuanjing said calmly.
He expected the response of the Six Gates.
“This is a case of making something out of nothing, how can I admit it!” Ma Wuji took an uncompromising stance.
Though it is shameful to lie, it was helpful.
He even took a step forward, appearing like a man of justice, he announced, “If you insist on slandering me, Justice Hall might be weak, but we aren’t pushovers.”
“That’s right! Justice Hall will not be bullied!” Zhang Xiaoyao echoed in support.
The disciples of Justice Hall also joined in, their voices booming. Obviously, at this point, they would not admit to anything either.
“This is too shameless!”
