Chapter 633: Chapter 583: It seems that today’s matters can’t be settled peacefully

“Master, a hundred miles ahead will be the base of Canglang Palace,” Pang Hong respectfully pointed in a direction and spoke to Pei Xuanjing, who was sitting on a white deer.

In fact, Pang Hong didn’t need to specifically guide Pei Xuanjing. Upon leaving the Tiandu Taoist Academy and heading in this direction, many people noticed him. Without needing any prodding, people volunteered to direct Pei Xuanjing to the location of Canglang Palace.

“Good, follow me and see for yourselves just how powerful this Canglang Palace is, that they dare to be so domineering!” Pei Xuanjing stated indifferently.

“Yes!”

Pang Hong and the many disciples belonging to the Taoist School responded in unison.

Upon learning that Pei Xuanjing would act and the purpose of his visit to Canglang Palace, not only disciples from the Shenxiao Sect but also those from other factions within the Taoist Alliance were willing to accompany him.

It is undeniable that Pei Xuanjing hadn’t intentionally nurtured a following, but as his power increased over time, his stature among the younger generation within the Taoist School became increasingly elevated, almost to the point of worship by the newly budding members.

Pei Xuanjing did not refuse these ardent disciples. After all, he had enough self-confidence to protect them. Thus, anyone within the Taoist School, who had crossed the Spirit Realm and wanted to follow him, was permitted to join the trip.

Even after screening, there was still a significant number of disciples decided to follow him, around hundreds. For cultivators of the Spirit Realm, a distance of a hundred miles was essentially inconsiderable.

The surrounding area was picturesque with clear springs and boundless greenery. Pavilions, towers, and terraces were scattered around, making the stay of Canglang Palace in the world of Great Ming rather well built. Although it fell short compared to its magnificent original base in Sky Wasteland, considering the short period they had, the establishment was still impressive, hinting at the deep roots of Canglang Palace.

However, at the moment, the disciples of Canglang Palace didn’t have a shred of pride about their residence. Even though there were countless defensive arrays set up around them, they could not help but feel insecure.

Because, the strongest cultivator in the ancestral land, the seemingly invincible Pei Xuanjing, was about to arrive.

The disciples originating from Sky Wasteland were more relaxed in contrast to those who were born and raised in the world of Great Ming. During their growing years, the legendary deeds of Pei Xuanjing had deeply ingrained in their hearts. They had almost grown up hearing about his reputation and legendary experiences, causing them to have an instinctive awe for Pei Xuanjing.

Despite being disciples of Canglang Palace and having an eighth-level Spirit Realm cultivator as a backer, for many average disciples, they could hardly tell how strong their Third Supreme Elder was. However, Pei Xuanjing’s fame was unquestionably embedded in their hearts.

“I, the Long Life Son from Shenxiao Sect, am here today to visit Canglang Palace. The master of this territory should come forward and greet me.”

The booming voice of Pei Xuanjing echoed throughout several miles around Canglang Palace, causing the entire place to shake.

“He’s here!”

“Pei Xuanjing is finally here!”

“The usually domineering Canglang Palace has met its match, the number one person in the ancestral land. This encounter is tantamount to the tip of the needle against wheat, a battle could very well break out any moment.”

“Let’s see how strong the number one person sought after by countless people really is. Today, if the opposing side doesn’t live up to the hype, others won’t sit by idly.”

…

Upon hearing of Pei Xuanjing’s arrival, the first to react were not the locals, but various factions who had been waiting nearby Canglang Palace for a long time.

They were eager to know the further development of events. They wanted to see what Pei Xuanjing would do and whether Canglang Palace could unearth Pei Xuanjing’s true strength.

“Master Pei, I apologize for not greeting you personally upon your arrival,” said Wei Ping, who was currently presiding over the Canglang Palace, his voice preceding him.

The next moment, Wei Ping walked out of the hall with several strong practitioners from Canglang Palace, looking straight at Pei Xuanjing who was riding the white deer in the distance.

Although he bore a deep hatred for Pei Xuanjing, as the leader of a dominant force like Canglang Palace, Wei Ping would not immediately launch into a tirade upon seeing him. That would be beneath him.

Regrettably, while he wanted to maintain his dignity, Pei Xuanjing wasn’t here today to preserve it for him.

Pei Xuanjing had come to assert his authority. He needed to use Canglang Palace as a stepping stone to intimidate the various factions, thereby preventing them from undermining him.

“Today, I have come to demand an explanation!” Pei Xuanjing’s voice resonated again, clearly resounding in everyone’s ears.

Upon hearing these words, the faces of people from Canglang Palace changed. The strong individuals from other factions had a glint in their eyes. They immediately understood the implication of Pei Xuanjing’s words – he was here to stir things up.

Wei Ping’s smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a furious expression, “Your disciple killed the disciples of my Canglang Palace and even a Seventh Level Spirit Realm elder. Now you ask us for an explanation. Isn’t this a barefaced humiliation?”

Even though Wei Ping wished not to provoke any trouble, the anger welled up within him upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s words.

Canglang Palace, as a dominant faction, had never experienced such grievance. After killing their people, the other party even came to demand an explanation. Such audacity was too much.

“If it were not for your disrespectful and derogatory disciple who insulted my master, I wouldn’t have attacked!” retorted Pang Hong angrily.

How shameless could the people of Canglang Palace be? All of this started because they provoked him. He only retaliated in self-defense!

“Humph, the fact is right before our eyes. This time, it’s our people who died in Canglang Palace, and you should explain!” Ignoring Pang Hong, Wei Ping’s gaze was directed towards Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing laughed lightly, “I heard that Canglang Palace is always overbearing, intending for me to tie my hands and admit my guilt. Then today I have come. I wonder how your Canglang Palace could take me?”

His gaze swept around, observing the expressions of the onlookers in the distance. He had a good grasp of their thoughts, and he also noticed several familiar faces, such as Zhao Baiyang and others.

“Since you have come, kneel and apologize. If your attitude is good enough, I, the honor, can let you die swiftly!”

Before Wei Ping could answer, an even more overbearing voice responded to Pei Xuanjing’s words. The next moment, the figure of the Third Supreme Elder of Canglang Palace appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the Third Supreme Elder appearing, no one else was qualified to speak. Everything would be decided by this strongest individual of Canglang Palace.

Pei Xuanjing looked at the figure who had appeared, a faint smile on his face. He was not angered by the other’s words, and said, “Then it seems that things cannot be solved peacefully today!”

“Didn’t you, Pei Xuanjing, come here today to solve this issue?” The Third Supreme Elder scoffed at him.
