Xuanfu, the emperor’s palace.
Crash!
A priceless inkstone for calligraphy dropped to the ground, shattering into countless pieces.
“Imbeciles, all of you are imbeciles! With so many people, you can’t even handle a minor second-class martial artist.” The emperor’s face was frigid, his tone agitated.
“We are guilty, your majesty.”
Jiang Bin, the Metropolitan Commander of Xuanfu, Wang Zhi, and other high -ranking figures were all kneeling subserviently on the ground.
They remained motionless, allowing the emperor to smash priceless objects. Not daring to evade, they repeatedly confessed their guilt.
“You are not just guilty, you are incompetent.” The emperor scolded.
“That Qian Ning is a total waste, incapable of capturing Pei Xuanjing despite having so many men. His own death doesn’t bother me, but he has brought me shame.”
“And you, Wang Zhi, aren’t you known as the most skilled fighter in the palace? Three first-grade martial artists made their move, and not only did they fail to detain the enemy, but they also allowed him to counterattack and kill one of their own. If Pei Xuanjing decided to harm me, are you saying he would cut off my head too?”
“This servant is guilty, please spare me, your majesty. I swear on my life to protect you,” Wang Zhi replied cautiously.
“You can’t even protect yourself, how are you going to protect me?” The emperor jeered. But even though he was irritated, he knew Wang Zhi’S capabilities and decided not to humiliate him further. He merely gave him a warning, “You may leave now for the imperial physician to examine your wounds.”
“Your majesty, my injuries are not serious.” Wang Zhi tried to refuse. “I order you to see the Imperial Physician.” The emperor repeated his command.
‘Yes!” Wang Zhi dared not protest further.
The emperor then focused his attention on the Metropolitan Commander of Xuanfu.
“Is this how your Xuanfu Capital Commanding Department protects my safety? You dispatched so many troops, and yet you let the enemy escape?”
“I… I am incompetent. I have ordered… ordered men to head outside the border to search…”
“Outside the border? Are you trying to start a war?” The emperor’s eyes flashed a trace of displeasure as he coldly rebuked.
Moving troops outside the border at this time would definitely alert the various factions and may even trigger a chain reaction, disrupting his plans.
While the fate of Pei Xuanjing was important, it was not worth altering the emperor’s years of scheming.
Thus, he was extremely dissatisfied with the Metropolitan Commander’s recent actions.
“I… I am terrified, your majesty. I had no intention of doing so!” The Metropolitan Commander hastily denied his actions.
“Hmph!” The emperor let out a cold huff but spared the Commander any further scrutiny.
But he had already decided that the Metropolitan Commander was incompetent and could no longer stay in this important position. He would definitely replace him in the future.
“Alright, you may go now. ”
After the Metropolitan Commander had left, the emperor turned his attention to Jiang Bin, his face revealing a meaningful smile. “Mr. Jiang, you must be very happy that Qian Ning is dead, aren’t you?” At this moment, apart from them, the only others in the hall were a few cold-faced guards.
“Your Majesty, I… “Before Jiang Bin could finish his sentence, the emperor interrupted him. The emperor asked in return, “Are you going to tell me that you have nothing to do with this?” “I am guilty!” Jiang Bin couldn’t refute it and readily admitted his guilt.
Seeing Jiang Bin admit his guilt, the emperor unexpectedly decided not to pursue the matter further. “The matters of the Brocade Guards will be managed by you for now. We’ll settle the position of the commander when we return to Tiandu.”
“Yes!” Jiang Bin nodded repeatedly.
The emperor then added, “As for Pei Xuanjing, hand him over to the Two Factories and Six Gates. The Brocade Guards will not interfere in this matter anymore.”
“Yes!”
At this moment, Pei Xuanjing was unaware of the situation at Xuanfu.
After a night of recuperation, his strength had once again return to its peak state.
Despite the freezing winter, with his keen senses and strength, he effortlessly hunted several animals and brought them back to his cave.
The cave he was in was quite secluded, not easily detected.
After thoroughly eliminating his tracks, Pei Xuanjing began to ponder his next steps.
It’s safe to say that these unexpected events disrupted all his previous plans.
Originally, if not for Qian Ning’s sudden attack, as soon as Pei Xuanjing got hold of the divine weapon, he would have started his life simulation the next day.
“No matter, let’S do a life simulation first. After all, improving my skills is the most important thing.” After a moment of contemplation, Pei Xuanjing made up his mind.
[Taoyun: 56743 points.]
[Do you want to use a life simulator? One use requires consuming 50000 Taoyun points.]
Pei Xuanjing started his life simulation.
At age 24: You slayed Qian Ning, the commander of the Brocade Guards, in front of all in Xuanfu City. You fought one against three with first-grade martial artists, killing Bei Wenxuan, a first-grade martial artist and retainer of the Brocade Guards. With this, you fled beyond the border.
Half a month later, the imperial court issued a decapitation edict, offering a large bounty for your capture. The experts from the Eastern and Western Factories and the Six Gates are in pursuit. At the same time, your renown increased significantly across the world everyone recognizing your name.
A month later, on your journey back to Tiandu, you encountered bandits trying to rob you but you easily killed them.
The incident led to an attack from the Tartar tribe. You routed the Tartar cavalry, inducing fear in the entire tribe.
The grandmasters of the Tartar tribe sent several disciples to assassinate you, but you killed them effortlessly.
Three months later, disguised and on the way back to Tiandu, you tried to collect Pang Hong, sent out by Lin Qingyi. But you were intercepted by Qingyang Zi who had arrived earlier.
You assumed Qingyang Zi intended to capture you but he instead invited you to take refuge with the Taihe Mountain True Martial Sect.
You were surprised that Qingyang Zi and the True Martial Sect, who are closely associated with the emperor, would offer to shelter you. But being wary, you declined.
Qingyang Zi didn’t force you and informed you that you could seek refuge with the True Martial Sect in case of any difficulties.
Over the next six months, you and Pang Hong traveled around the world, repeatedly ambushed by the high-ranking martial artists of the Two Factories and the Six Gates. Thanks to the updates provided by Bai Xiaosheng, you were able to resolve the ambushes easily, escalating your fame in the martial arts world further. Consequently, the bounty offered by the imperial court for you increased continuously.
At age 25: You reached the former site of the Shenxiao Sect’s mountain gate and encountered a group of imperial experts who had set up an ambush.
In this battle, you killed four first-grade experts, causing a shock throughout the land. However, you were severely injured.
Two months later, after you recovered, you were approached by a group of mysterious individuals claiming to be the descendants of the Shenxiao Sect. They wanted to revive the Shenxiao Sect with your help but were firmly refused by you.
A month later, you took Pang Hong and opened a martial arts school under a pseudonym in a small town, planning to stay quiet for a while to contemplate on martial arts and seek an opportunity to break through to the first-grade realm.
Half a year later, you received news of the Martial Academy being destroyed.
Although the Martial Academy was destroyed, the first volume of Martial Classics began to circulate among the common folk of the Great Ming, providing them an alternative path in life..
