Chapter 68: Chapter 67: All Doubts Resolved
Translator: 549690339
Pei Xuanjing has always been paying attention to the clues about the Mire Sect. After all, such a
massive force might not matter to the imperial court, but to him personally, it remains a threat at all
times.
Unless one day he can become strong enough to ignore this threat, he must always be on guard.
If he gets entangled with such a force, even if the other party appears peaceful at the moment, they will undoubtedly strike at his weakest moment whenever the opportunity arises.
He himself has been killed by the Mire Sect several times in past simulations, and not long ago in a
simulation, he was also assassinated by the Mire Sect while accompanying the emperor on a tour.
Although in the life simulation, he not only avoided any loss with a simple sentence, he even received the emperor’s reward for counter-killing a third-grade master of the Mire Sect.
But Pei Xuanjing is clear that reality is not the same as a simulation, and he doesn’t have the chance to start over. What if the person who acted against him at that time was not a third-grade martial artist but a Second -Class martial artist, or even a First-grade martial artist?
After so many simulations, he actually started to figure out the pattern of the life simulator. That is, as his strength keeps increasing, the process in the life simulator will also produce a butterfly effect.
Moreover, the process shown by the Life Simulator is not fixed but merely reflects the most likely outcome after he makes a choice.
For instance, after he broke through to a third-grade martial artist, instead of choosing to move into the capital of Northwest Dao, West Capital, and coming to Tiandu, some of the things that would have happened then change.
Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s inquiry, Lin Qingyi also gathered his thoughts and said seriously, “In fact, I came today because of this matter.”
He looked around then lowered his voice, “This time we took the opportunity of capturing Shentu Han to strike a nest of the Mire Sect. Brother Pei, guess where is this nest?”
Zhending Prefecture?
Looking at Lin Qingyi who was full of meaningful expression, a place came to mind, and he asked,
“Isn’t it in Tiandu, is it?”
Lin Qingyi nodded and said solemnly, “Exactly.”
“We obtained quite a few clues from it, all pointing out that the Mire Sect is planning something. Although the purpose is not yet clear, I have some conjectures. This time it’s not a small fuss from the Mire Sect. It’S said that the leader of the sect personally planned it. A supreme elder is presiding, and several Dharma Kings and protectors are personally assisting.”
While the Mire Sect has always been somewhat active, most of the time it’s their protectors, the third-grade martial artists, pulling the strings. This time they have even sent a supreme elder to preside personally, which undoubtedly indicates the scale of their plans, and how seriously they regard this matter.
“If they actually sent out a First-grade martial artist to manipulate things, it seems that the Mire Sect indeed has big plans.” Pei Xuanjing nodded.
After he stepped into the Upper Three Realms, he also entered the circle of masters. From Qingyang Zi, he learned a lot about the martial artists of the Upper Three Realms.
Second-Class and Third-grade martial artists are the ones most commonly seen in the world, while First-grade martial artists spend most of their time in intensive cultivation, seeking their future path, and more often act as the foundation of a faction without deploying easily.
Like Qingyang Zi, if he one day breaks through to the First-grade realm, he will, following the rules, resign from all his current posts and return to the Taihe Mountain True Martial Sect.
Of course, not all First-grade martial artists will do so.
Based on the information Pei Xuanjing received from Qingyang Zi, combined with clues from other sources.
What Qingyang Zi said is, in fact, an unwritten rule set by the Great Ming and other major forces.
As the beneficiaries of power, they possess everything. So, they can focus on their cultivation therapeutically without the need for fights and strife in the world. They can even use this unwritten rule to constrain other First-grade martial artists, so as not to disrupt the existing situation and threaten their interests.
Of course, for every rule enforcer, there’s also a challenger.
Some factions dissatisfied with the current situation and wanting to redistribute the benefits will also emerge. As newcomers, they have strength but can’t gain the corresponding benefits, which will naturally prompt them to issue challenges.
Now, among these factions, the Mire Sect is in the lead.
However, even as challengers, to avoid the thunderous crackdown of vested interest holders, they usually refrain from breaking this tacit agreement.
Now that the Mire Sect has dispatched a First-grade martial artist to act personally, they must undoubtedly have a grand scheme in mind; otherwise, the cost would outweigh the benefits.
Thinking of this, Pei Xuanjing asked, “Does Brother Lin have any other information? Let’S discuss it all together!”
Lin Qingyi looked at Pei Xuanjing with a smile, “Brother Pei, the task you entrusted me with a while ago, of course, I didn’t forget. I went specifically to find out about the situation in the Northwest Dao afterward.”
“It seems that Brother Lin has reaped quite a lot?” Pei Xuanjing grasped the purpose of the other party’s visit today, which is to take credit for his work.
Lin Qingyi chuckled, “According to the information I obtained, the Mire Sect is actively fostering subordinate forces in the Northwest Dao, using both threats and bribes to win over numerous factions…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but Pei Xuanjing had already understood a lot of things. Many of the doubts in his heart were unraveled at this moment.
No wonder!
No wonder a group of bandits appeared mysteriously in the small city on the border where he was, and even as an eighth -grade martial artist in the simulation process, he was killed by the bandits.
To Imow that back in the day, in the small town where he lived, a Ninth -grade martial artist could bolster a faction and eighth-grade martial artists could walk around undeterred.
But in the simulation, as an eighth-grade martial artist, Pei Xuanjing was killed by bandits, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed multiple times.
Now it seems that the appearance of those bandits was not accidental but the work of the Mire Sect.
Thinking about how the Liu family, which emerged later, had the support of the Mire Sect behind them, it’s no wonder they could pull strings to transfer Gu Ji.
Also considering the many instances of unrest in the Northwest Dao in his life simulation, which he almost always encountered.
Gu Ji suppressed the riot, he died alongside Gu Ji.
He cultivated alone, yet there was still unrest in the Northwest Dao.
All of these instances were the work of the White Lotus Sect.
It seemed that he and the Mire Sect were naturally opposing each other. In fact, when all his life simulations were tallied, except for a few special cases, his cause of death was somewhat related to the Mire Sect.
As if he had an epiphany, Pei Xuanjing figured everything out at this moment. Although there was not enough evidence, these things essentially didn’t need evidence..
