Pei Xuanjing vaguely remembered that in his previous life simulations, he had not interacted with Lawlessness or the Six Gates. They seemed to be two parallel lines that never intersected.
Now, with Lawlessness appearing at the Justice Hall, Pei Xuanjing knew for sure that his early challenge to the Justice Hall had caused a deviation.
According to the trajectory of his life simulations, he should be in secluded cultivation on Shenxiao Mountain. Only after Zhao Baiyangs successful killing of the dragon and the succession of the new emperor, would Pei Xuanjing descend from the mountain, once the True Martial Sect’s formation research was successful.
By then, with the changes that had occurred in Tiandu, Six Gates and even the entire imperial court of Great Ming had shifted their attention to the new emperor and the Mire Sect, neglecting Pei Xuanjing.
However, with Pei Xuanjing’s early descent, Tiandu was quiet. Thus, the Six Gates chose to appear at this time, aiming to capture this Remnant of Shenxiao, who had disgraced the entire Great Ming imperial court.
In Pei Xuanjing’s view, the exit of the mighty chief capturer of Six Gates from Tiandu was undoubtedly lowering the city’S guard, making it easier for Zhao Baiyang’s plan to be implemented.
According to the continuous news provided by Bai Xiaosheng, Pei Xuanjing could roughly estimate the timing of Zhao Baiyang’s actions, which would probably occur in the next few days.
Pei Xuanjing even guessed that if someone was following him, they would probably strike at the same time he arrived at the Justice Hall.
“What do you mean!” Lawlessness frowned and asked.
At his level, he could discern that when Pei Xuanjing said these words, he seemed to be earnest.
This, indeed, gave Lawlessness a bad premonition.
“Nothing. Just feeling a bit annoyed.” Pei Xuanjing shrugged, feeling irritated that he had unintentionally aided Zhao Baiyang.
With that in mind, he no longer felt like covering for Zhao Baiyang and asked, “Has the chief capturer been focusing too much on me lately and ignoring the actions of the Mire Sect?”
In Pei Xuanjing’s view, with the keen insight of the Six Gates, they should not ignore the activities of the Mire Sect.
It must be due to his recent actions that they had been negligent, overlooking the operations of the Mire Sect.
“Hmm? The Mire Sect.” Lawlessness frowned and fell into thought. He asked the people behind him, “Has there been any strange movements in the Mire Sect recently?”
Just as Pei Xuanjing mentioned, they had concentrated all their attention on Pei Xuanjing recently and temporarily set aside other matters.
Lawlessness did not see any problem in this before, but now that Pei Xuanjing mentioned it, he could not help but care.
After all, what Pei Xuanjing talked about was not something trivial, it was about Tiandu.
Tiandu and the Mire Sect.
If these two words were linked together, with the instincts that Lawlessness formed over the yea] he had to take it seriously.
“Sir!” Suddenly, a gold badge capturer behind him seemed to recall something and whispered, “Not long ago, many of our spies in the Mire Sect were purged. Some were sent to remote places to carry out some inexplicable tasks.”
Indeed!
The Mire Sect did have some major operation.
Lawlessness realized this and suddenly looked at Pei Xuanjing, commanding, “What exactly is the Mire Sect up to? Tell me!”
All the martial artists at the scene were bewildered, even Ma Wuji of the Justice Hall, who had quietly invited the Six Gates, was at a loss.
They did not understand why the situation had suddenly shifted in such a way.
They all expected that the Six Gates, known for their domineering nature, would inevitably clash with Pei Xuanjing, a notorious criminal who had been on the Great Ming imperial court wanted list for several years.
The moment they meet, it would be like a volcanic eruption, a dramatic showdown of heavenly thunder and earthly fire.
Yet, the scenario everyone was expecting did not happen as anticipated.
With just a few words from Pei Xuanjing, the well-renowned Lawlessness was suddenly in a fluster, inquiring about the Mire Sect.
Were the Mire Sect involved in this?
But both sides involved, whether it was the Six Gates or Pei Xuanjing, didn’t seem to have any connection with the Mire Sect, but only harbored enmity towards it, right?
Pei Xuanjing, looking at the anxious Lawlessness, calmly asked, “Why should I tell the Chief Capturer about the Mire Sect’s affairs?”
So, it does involve the Mire Sect. Some of the more knowledgeable masters at the scene suddenly began to piece together the recent rumours.
“You really do Imow!” Lawlessness’s resonant voice echoed. He loudly said to Pei Xuanjing, “Tell us the Mire Sect’s plan, and I’ll let you go today.”
“Hahahaha…” Pei Xuanjing suddenly burst into laughter as if he had heard something hilarious.
He sneered at Lawlessness, “Spare my life, with just you?”
Lawlessness’s expression turned cold. The plot which the Mire Sect possibly pulled in Tiandu was something he couldn’t control. This made him furious. In addition, Pei Xuanjing’s lack of cooperation enraged him further.
Since he became the Chief Capturer of the Six Gates, no one had dared to scorn him like this. Not even the emperor would humiliate him so.
“Since you refuse to toast, then don’t blame me for not showing mercy.” Lawlessness, filled with anger, made his move..
