Chapter 630: Chapter 580: The Dominance of Canglang Palace
In fact, Wei Ping also harbored some resentment about this matter.
As merely an ordinary elder within the Canglang Palace, it would be extremely fortunate to be chosen by the Palace Master to oversee the affairs of the Ancestral Land.
Although this task seemed troublesome, he just needed to conscientiously go about his duties, not provoke anyone, and he would successfully complete it as the many forces began to return. He was simply waiting for the arrival of the Palace Master to secure his great contribution.
Therefore, after descending upon the Ancestral Land, Wei Ping strictly ordered his many disciples to be careful in their words and actions, not to stir trouble, and lay aside any issues. Their primary priority was to await the return of the Palace Master. Any conflicts could be dealt with after his arrival.
In these thirty years, he had seen almost everything through. However, at this crucial point, one of his disciples committed an unwise act, not only losing his life but also causing a conflict with Pei Xuanjing.
This was a thorny issue for Wei Ping, and the reckless action of one of the elder members only made the situation worse.
“There has still been no response yet. Does he think that our Canglang Palace is insignificant?” The Third Supreme Elder’s eyes flashed with fury.
Although Canglang Palace was not a top-tier power in the Sky Wasteland, it undoubtedly held sway over some territories. Pei Xuanjing’s cavalier attitude was enough to make the Third Supreme Elder fairly livid.
“You go and send someone to deliver a message, demanding that Pei Xuanjing account for his actions to my Canglang Palace.” The Third Supreme Elder turned to Wei Ping, “He must personally bring his disciple, tied hand and foot, to beg for our forgiveness. Otherwise, we will certainly level his Shenxiao Sect.”
The situation had reached this point where even if he didn’t want to stick his neck out, he had no other choice. The reputation of Canglang Palace, established over countless years, is absolutely untouchable, regardless of how formidable Pei Xuanjing was or if there were people stirring trouble behind the scene, he had to maintain the dignity of the Canglang Palace.
Regardless of Pei Xuanjing’s stature, no matter how domineering he was during the revival of Heaven and Earth, when facing him, his opponent wouldn’t have a chance to resist.
Even though his talent was rumored to be extraordinary, having reached the eighth level of the Spiritual Realm during the course of his thirty-year retreat, he shouldn’t be of much concern as he himself had already been at the eighth level for a millennium. Why would he be afraid of such a junior? freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Canglang Palace’s declaration had swiftly spread that Pei Xuanjing was to bring his disciple’s head and present himself bound at Canglang Palace to beg for forgiveness. Otherwise, they would eradicate the entire Shenxiao Sect.
“Canglang Palace is as domineering as ever!”
“Canglang Palace has five powerful individuals at the eighth level of Spirit Realm. This time, the one who sits in the ancestral land is none other than the Third Supreme Elder, a hard-to-deal-with character. Since he has spoken, who knows how Pei Xuanjing would react?”
“What can he do to counter? Pei Xuanjing’s dominance over the ancestral land is because we haven’t arrived yet. With the return of the forces, would Pei Xuanjing, who is so domineering, wish to oppress the world like before? How ridiculous!”
…
Regarding the news spread by Canglang Palace, the various factions of the Sky Wasteland’s powers were all engaged in lively discussions. It seemed that everyone was profoundly skeptical about Pei Xuanjing’s chances.
After all, during the less than hundred years since the revival of Heaven and Earth, it was a heavenly blessing that Pei Xuanjing advanced from a common martial artist to the seventh level of the Spiritual Realm. His ability to suppress practitioners of the Spirit Realm’s seventh level was indeed shocking to many.
However, now that Canglang Palace, a hegemonic force, has made their move, they, who had an eighth level Spirit Realm cultivator to rely on, were definitely not something Pei Xuanjing could cope with.
“This time, the National Preceptor might be in danger.”
“Can the national preceptor confront a powerful practitioner of the Spirit Realm Eightfold with his ability?”
“The National Preceptor is unparalleled in the current age. With his incarnation, he can kill a cultivator of the seventh level of the Spirit Realm. If he personally takes to the field, how good can the cultivator of the eightfold realm be? He might not necessarily be the National Preceptor’s match!”
“Exactly, as long as the National Preceptor makes a move, that eighth level cultivator will definitely be suppressed.”
“What a big talk from Canglang Palace. Do they really believe there is no one amongst us native cultivators?”
…
In response to the news released by Canglang Palace, the native cultivators of the Daming World also had different attitudes. Many people expressed concern for Pei Xuanjing. After all, Pei Xuanjing at this moment was facing a cultivator of the eighth level of Spirit Realm.
Of course, some people saw Pei Xuanjing’s rising career as a continuous transformation of impossibility into possibility. Every time people thought he was doomed, Pei Xuanjing could always shock the world.
If Pei Xuanjing dared to suppress a cultivator of the seventh level of the Spiritual Realm of Canglang Palace with his incarnation, then it represented that he had enough confidence to face the current situation. Therefore, before knowing the outcome, it’s all still unknown.
“Do you think that Master Pei can cope with this situation?” Zhu Houji asked Wu Shijiu at his side, furrowing his eyebrows.
He already knew that Pei Xuanjing entered the Spirit Realm Eightfold and knew that with Pei Xuanjing’s strength, it shouldn’t pose much problem to deal with the Spirit Realm Eightfold cultivator from Canglang Palace.
However, he was concerned about another issue. That is, Canglang Palace didn’t have only one Spirit Realm Eightfold cultivator. There were four more who had not descended. Among them, the strongest one was even said to have remained unbeaten against the Nine Realms of the Spirit practitioners.
This kind of power could indeed be called a local hegemony, which was an extremely strong enemy for the Great Ming Divine Dynasty at the moment.
What’s more important was that the current conflict seemed to be a confrontation between Pei Xuanjing and Canglang Palace. However, because of their different identities, it could be seen as the first clash between the native forces of the Daming World and many forces of the Sky Wasteland.
If Master Pei can’t demonstrate sufficient deterrent power this time, the rest of the original Sky Wasteland forces and their power, which had quieted down, might be seething with unrest.
Zhu Houji thought in his heart.
“Indeed, the leading figure of Canglang Palace is very formidable, but he is far away in the Sky Wasteland, and cannot descend for now. He doesn’t pose any threat to the National Preceptor,” Wu Shijiu said indifferently.
He naturally understood the emperor’s worries, but Wu Shijiu had a different view on this matter. His view coincidentally aligned with Pei Xuanjing’s thoughts.
Although the conflict was somewhat unexpected, it happened so conveniently that it was an opportunity for Pei Xuanjing, a proper entry point.
Canglang Palace was a local overlord among the first-class powers but didn’t have any all-powerful cultivators of the Ninth Level of Spirit Realm residing there. When compared with the top powers, they were still slightly lacking. Though they were powerful, they were not invincible.
