Chapter 533: Chapter 481: How to Deal with These People?

Pei Xuanjing swiftly threw out a palm, scattering the sword intent around him, transforming it into countless Sword Qi that came raining down on the martial artists in the practice martial arts field.

In an instant, a sword intent was added to the inner bodies of these third-grade pseudo grandmasters. However, the fourth-grade martial artists did not have this opportunity.

After all, they could observe the aggressive true martial arts intent of Pei Xuanjing, but they lacked the qualifications to truly bear it.

“Ah!”

“Ha!”

“Hmph!”

The moment the sword intent entered their bodies, these pseudo grandmaster martial artists felt a terrifying force circulating within them. Even though they had prepared themselves, believing in their determination to endure the pain, dozens of them couldn’t help but cry out instinctively.

However, in the blink of an eye, cries of agony filled the practice martial arts field. Yet not a single one of these people chose to give up. They gritted their teeth, sat cross-legged and began to circulate their skills, trying to refine the sword intent in their bodies by condensing their Blood Qi.

Pei Xuanjing’s face wore a faint smile as he observed their changes, using the power of his Yin Spirit to envelop those around him.

……

Ever since Bai Xiaosheng took over the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, it has become a place for not only observing celestial phenomena, calculating solar terms, and formulating calendars, but also a place on par with Factory Guard and Six Gates for monitoring worldly information.

Nobody knew the reason why Bai Xiaosheng had chosen to publicly take over the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, not even the Qingxu Taoist who was familiar with him. He only knew that it was one of Bai Xiaosheng’s goals to participate in their plan, but he didn’t know why.

Pei Xuanjing only guessed that Bai Xiaosheng’s takeover of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was part of a big scheme, but he did not delve deeper. After all, everyone who came together had their own plans and nobody would actively interfere.

Of course, not long ago, the mysterious Mr. Wu also accepted the emperor’s invitation to join the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, becoming the Superintendent who was second only to Bai Xiaosheng.

“I must thank Mr. Wu for his help this time. Otherwise, even I wouldn’t have been able to detect the changes in these forces so smoothly,” Bai Xiaosheng said to Mr. Wu with a smile.

In his hands was the investigation report sent back by his subordinates, summarizing the recent unusual activities of certain factions.

After he and Pei Xuanjing had discussed the incident at Dragon Tiger Mountain, they realized that what happened there would not be an isolated case. If people returned from Dragon Tiger Mountain, others from factions with legacies in the Sky Wasteland would certainly return too.

This mysterious Mr. Wu knew almost everything about the Sky Wasteland. With his help, Bai Xiaosheng swiftly narrowed down the scope of the investigation to some key targets, eventually making some discoveries.

“It was just a small effort on my part. After all, I am standing with you guys now, and I don’t want to see the world fall into chaos,” Mr. Wu said nonchalantly.

He didn’t want to see the world plunge into chaos now. He still needed time to make some preparations. Helping Bai Xiaosheng and others to lock down the activities of those people was a good thing for him; at least he wouldn’t be left in the dark in case of unexpected events.

He chuckled and asked, “How does the Superintendent plan to handle these people?”

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at him and countered, “Why should we handle these people?”

This was a matter he had already discussed with Pei Xuanjing. All they needed to do was to uncover the identities and backgrounds of the others. There was no need to rush to take action.

With more and more forces returning from the Sky Wasteland, they couldn’t possibly fight every single one of them, could they?

Instead, they figured it would be better to guard against them for now and watch their reactions. If there was no anomaly or nothing that clearly disrupted their plans, there was no need to take action.

After all, compared to the massive forces in the Sky Wasteland, the people dispatched by the other side were insignificant. Eradicating these people would only be a prelude to inevitable warfare when the massive forces behind those people return.

The two sides were actually waiting for the right opportunity. They were waiting for Heaven and Earth to return to its peak and then usher back the forces from the Sky Wasteland.

While they were seizing the time to enhance their own strength, so that when Heaven and Earth fully recovered and the other side returned, they would have the strength to negotiate on an equal footing.

According to their thinking, instead of alarming the enemy now, they might as well bear it for a while, wait for their strength to grow, then choose a faction that shows hostile intentions and strike it with the force of a thunderbolt, killing one to warn the others.

“I see.”

Although Bai Xiaosheng didn’t spell it out, Mr. Wu understood their intention.

After all, he had come to understand quite a bit about the ancestral land during this time and understood their style of doing things.

Just like the founder of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, Emperor Taizu of the Great Ming, who wasn’t the strongest power when he first started his uprising. But by following the method of ‘building high walls and amassing grain, postponing the claim to kingship’, he eventually became the biggest winner and established the Great Ming empire of six hundred years.

A flash of brilliance flashed in Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes as he suddenly opened his mouth to ask, “Mr. Wu, your strength seems to have recovered quite quickly in recent times, hasn’t it?”

He could now finally confirm that the identity of the other party was definitely not the disciple of the Witch Deity Teaching as he first claimed, but someone with a greater background.

In the beginning, the strength displayed by Mr. Wu was only at the Third Level of the Spiritual Realm, seemingly on par with talents from the Sky Wasteland like Xue Hanyi.

However, the secrets he knew and the things he controlled were absolutely not something that a junior disciple could know or master, even if the Witch Deity Teaching was a top-level faction. They would never let their junior disciples know so much.

When the Great Ming Divine Dynasty ascended, Bai Xiaosheng gained quite a bit of benefit. He was now at the peak of Third Level of the Spiritual Realm, just one step away from the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm.

But he found that he still couldn’t see through Mr. Wu’s strength, nor could he sense any hint of danger from him.

This was quite shocking. If the other’s strength was only slightly stronger than his, Bai Xiaosheng would definitely feel some pressure and senses under certain circumstances.

The situation now was only possible under two circumstances: either the other’s strength was far inferior to his, or the other’s strength was far beyond his, so much so that he couldn’t detect anything.

The result, therefore, was self-evident.

“Hehe, since the Superintendent already knows, why bother to find out the details?” said Mr. Wu with a faint smile on his face and a note of exclamation in his voice.

As of now, he had temporarily joined the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, and his significant help that day earned him a Divine Position. Though it was a medium-level Divine Position, it was more than enough for him.
