Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s inquiry, everyone hesitated and instinctively turned their gazes to Wang Boan, who was seated at the head of the table.

Wang Boan chuckled, “The strong ones who returned from Tianhuang are stationed at the other two military cities and will be here tonight to meet with the National Master.”

The Great Ming imperial court had three military cities under its command. Wang Boan was stationed at the main city, with the remaining two cities manned by members of the Great Ming imperial court in collaboration with the Witch Deity Teaching and the powerful ones from Heart Moon Lake, to guard against sudden attacks from the Demon Race.

Of course, whether this reason was true or not, it didn’t seem worthwhile to discuss publically.

Upon hearing this reason, Pei Xuanjing smiled slightly, unimpressed.

Xue Hanyi, sitting on the side, scoffed, “Still putting on airs!”

At his deliberately provoking words, the expressions of those present varied. However, it could be observed that most people’s attention was fixated on Pei Xuanjing.

After all, as the strongest person currently in the world, it seemed somewhat inappropriate for the other party not to meet Pei Xuanjing upon his arrival, no matter what.

“No matter, we will wait until tonight then,” Pei Xuanjing chuckled.

Xue Hanyi laughed lightly, no longer speaking.

Admittedly, his words just now had been meant to provoke, but more than that, they reflected his disdain for the posturing of those two groups.

According to him, the powerful ones dispatched by both the Witch Deity Teaching and Heart Moon Lake were roughly at his level, at most attaining the Third Level of the Spirit Realm and definitely not exceeding the Fourth Level of the Spirit Realm.

While such powerful individuals might seem formidable compared to others, in Pei Xuanjing’s eyes, they amounted to nothing. Only Xue Hanyi, who had sparred with Pei Xuanjing, truly understood how powerful he was.

“Having returned to the Ancestral Land for so many years and still failing to recognize reality, it seems this time neither Heart Moon Lake nor the Witch Deity Teaching sent particularly remarkable people.” Xue Hanyi sent a message to Xue Hanyue sitting beside him.

Xue Hanyue asked in confusion, “Why do you say that, brother?”

Xue Hanyi scoffed, “If they had refused to cooperate after returning, that would have been acceptable. But now they have shown willingness to cooperate, and then they put on this show upon Pei Xuanjing’s arrival today. They’re worried about losing face, like trying to keep the appearance of a brothel while still wanting to erect a monument of chastity.”

Xue Hanyi might currently be a defeated rival under Pei Xuanjing, but he had nevertheless gained clear insight into the current situation.

In the Ancestral Land right now, Pei Xuanjing not only possessed transcendental power, but he also had immense influence. Unless a warrior arrived from the Sky Wasteland who could suppress Pei Xuanjing, there was simply no way to shake the current balance.

The fact that the people from the Witch Deity Teaching and Heart Moon Lake returned and did not directly conflict with Pei Xuanjing’s party was great news and signalled a promising start.

Unfortunately, their actions today were a significant misstep in Xue Hanyi’s view; they remained too preoccupied with maintaining their own dignity.

In Xue Hanyi’s estimation, the top priority now was to ingratiate themselves with Pei Xuanjing and establish a collaborative relationship. Perhaps even the return of the Xue ancient country in the future might offer opportunities for full cooperation with Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing was unaware that he held such a position in Xue Hanyi’s eyes. After mingling with the crowd for a while, he followed Wang Boan and left the room.

The departure of the two wasn’t surprising to anyone, for the matters they were to discuss next were not something the others could participate in.

The two moved to another place, Wang Boan’s study.

Once they were seated, Pei Xuanjing opened the conversation by complimenting, “Although Sir was unable to attend the gathering at Shenxiao Mountain that day, I assumed it was not because Sir was unable to enter the Spirit Realm, but rather because Sir chose not to. Now that Sir has demonstrated his power, it is clear that my assumption was correct.”

Indeed, even though Bai Xiaosheng had mentioned in his message that Wang Boan had not entered the Spirit Realm, Pei Xuanjing had thought otherwise. Thus, he still extended an invitation. Unfortunately, Wang Boan had declined the invitation, citing being too occupied with military affairs.

Wang Boan, not sure why Pei Xuanjing regarded him in such a different light, laughed, “You flatter me, I had been simply fortunate.”

After some small talk, Wang Boan took the initiative to bring up the subject, “The purpose of my invitation, I presume you have guessed!”

“I came here straight away after leaving seclusion, which is intended to resolve this matter.” Pei Xuanjing replied with a smile, “With the continuous arrival of strong ones from Tianhuang, there’s no time to delay any further.”

“Indeed!” Wang Boan nodded.

“I presume you already have a foolproof plan, please share it unreservedly.” Pei Xuanjing suggested.

He guessed that Wang Boan’s invitation was to discuss how to deploy troops to deal with the Demon Race outside the border, and that was his reason for coming too.

Now that Wang Boan has ideas, he will naturally follow them, after all, even though he was powerful, his military strategy and formation skills were inadequate.

Pei Xuanjing was not the kind of person who believes he can micro-manage everything, so each has his specialty, and this matter should be left to professionals!

“Alright!” Wang Boan did not hesitate either.

His private invitation to Pei Xuanjing was exactly to discuss this matter, considering the latter’s status as a national guru and a strong figure. If their opinions clash and sparks a dispute, it would inevitably cause ripples.

Therefore, to maintain stability, they need to reach consensus.

Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s attitude naturally made Wang Boan happy.

“Regarding how to annihilate those demonic beasts, I’ve had a rough plan for a long time, but it has not been executed due to the inability to deal with the strong figures of the Demon Race.” Wang Boan said with a smile to Pei Xuanjing: “But today, with your presence, that worry is certainly unnecessary.”

Pei Xuanjing laughed and waited for him to continue.

Next, Wang Boan explained his plan one by one, and Pei Xuanjing listened attentively.

At night, within the City Lord’s Mansion, the lights were bright. Besides some necessary generals and strongmen, most of the powerful people were gathered here.

Although Pei Xuanjing had come here quietly, the news had still leaked out, and the Noble Alliance, Outsiders’ Alliance, the Buddhist School, and the Demonic Cult had each sent their strongmen.

“Master, let me introduce you.” Wang Boan pointed at a man and a woman in front of him and said to Pei Xuanjing.

“Ha ha, you don’t need to introduce them, sir. I can guess that these two must be the powerhouses who descended from Tianhuang, Mu Xianzi from Heart Moon Lake and Mr. Wu from the Witch Deity Teaching!” Pei Xuanjing laughed and said: “I, Pei Xuanjing, have seen both.”

“Mu Binghua greets the national guru.”

“I, Wu, have greeted the national guru.” frёeωebɳovel.com

The man and woman, the woman was curvaceous, with a beautiful face and a cool persona which added a touch of sanctity.

The man was ordinary-looking, with a hoarse voice, and was dressed in a black robe.

“These days must have been difficult for both of you. If it weren’t for your assistance, I’m afraid millions of soldiers would have been harmed by the Demon Race, causing a catastrophic disaster.” Pei Xuanjing spoke in a serious tone.

“National Guru, you flatter us. If we stood idly by as part of the human race, would we not be laughed at by the Demon Race?”

Both repeatedly declined the compliment.

Xue Hanyi, standing to the side, had eyes flashing with uncertainty, wondering what the two were thinking. He looked coldly at the two people. He knew Mu Binghua, the prodigy disciple of Heart Moon Lake, but he was somewhat puzzled by Mr. Wu from the Witch Deity Teaching, as he had never heard of him before.

Pei Xuanjing nodded at them, and directly said, “I want to assist and deploy troops to wipe out the Demon Race, I wonder if the two of you would assist me.”

There was no elaborate introduction, it was plain and straightforward.

Both of them were stunned, not expecting Pei Xuanjing to be so direct.

Not only them, everyone around was shocked by Pei Xuanjing’s decisive words, their thoughts in turmoil.
