“Prefect.” Pei Xuanjing greeted Gu Ji with a fist, his demeanor neither cold nor warm.
“We respectfully greet the official.” The attitude of Gu San and others was much more respectful.
Gu Ji nodded to Pei Xuanjing but did not hurry to speak with him.
Instead, he turned his sights on Gu San and others behind him. Upon realizing the absence of Gu Da and a few others, he understood implicitly, but he simply sighed with a slight regret, “You have worked hard this time.”contemporary romance
“We are willing to do anything.” Gu San and others replied.
Gu Ji nodded and gestured to someone beside him to meet with Gu San and others. Only then did he take a few more steps and come into Pei Xuanjing’s presence.
“How was your trip?” He asked straightforwardly.
A hint of a smile appeared on Pei Xuanjing’s face as he pulled out a strange orb from his chest, “I completed the mission.”
Then, without any hesitation, he handed over this treasure which could help someone break through to the third grade realm, a treasure for which many people would go crazy over and even be willing to die for, without any hesitation or delay.
Even Gu Ji was extremely surprised. He had trusted Pei Xuanjing before but had never thought that the latter would genuinely be so trustworthy, so willing to give up such a treasure without any hesitation or reluctance.
“Prefect?” Seeing that Gu Ji was not accepting the orb, Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but call out.
Pei Xuanjing didn’t know what was going through Gu Ji’s mind. Even if he did, he would only have smiled. As far as he was concerned, this item held no advantages for him.
For him, the greatest value of this strange orb was not its ability to help someone break through to the third grade realm, but rather the Taoyun it contained.
After acquiring the strange orb, Pei Xuanjing had completely refined the orb’s attached Taoyun within the two months he spent in the Blessed Land of the Forbidden Place. He had already reaped enough benefits.
Now, what he wanted most was to fulfill his contract with Gu Ji, and then find a safe place to start the life simulator again for the next life simulation.
After all, once he had refined the strange orb, the amount of Taoyun he possessed had reached over fifty thousand points. Under the condition of not breaking through to another realm, he had enough points to activate the life simulator five times.
At the moment, he was eager to start the simulation to enhance his strength.
“Thank you!”
Gu Ji came to his senses and took the strange orb in his hand.
He had not yet closely observed it when a cold voice came from afar.
“Mister Prefect, if you don’t want it, how about you give it to the old man?”
Liu Chengxiong appeared in the distance with a group of people, the look in his eyes filled with longing for the strange orb.
“Hehe, if Master Liu likes it, I don’t mind giving it to you. I just don’t know what you will exchange for it?” Gu Ji sneered and stored the strange orb in his chest while speaking.
“The Prefect is contradicting himself.” Liu Chengxiong taunted.
“You are Pei Xuanjing, right?” He then turned his gaze to Pei Xuanjing.
When he focused on Pei Xuanjing or rather, on the Flowing Flame Sword at Pei Xuanjing’s waist, his face suddenly changed, a chill rising in his heart.
“Pei Xuanjing, why is the Flowing Flame Sword in your hands!” Liu Chengxiong furiously questioned.
At his question, all the martial artists from the Liu family, who were following him also had their expressions change greatly.
They knew the Flowing Flame Sword had been given to Liu Ruilong to take into the Blessed Land of the Forbidden Place. But now this divine weapon had somehow appeared in Pei Xuanjing•s hands. What had happened to Liu Ruilong…
“Why ask when you already know the answer, Master Liu?” Pei Xuanjing responded nonchalantly, “Someone naturally gave the sword to me!”
“What did you do to Rui Long?” Liu Chengxiong still held onto a ray of hope as he asked.
Pei Xuanjing shattered this illusion, “He is, of course, dead!”
“YOU…” LIU cnengxlong was vapmg, ms eyes almost Diligmg out or tnelr socKets.
The members of the Liu family all showed surprised and angered expressions.
Pei Xuanjing said coldly, “Master Liu, don’t be sad, I will soon send you to meet Liu Ruilong.”
At the same time, he whispered to Gu Ji, “Take action!”
If Liu Chengxiong dared to set an ambush here, it proved that he had malicious intentions.
Also, everything that the Liu family had done in the Forbidden Land, including allowing Liu Ruilong to take the Flowing Flame Sword and team up with Yuwen Leopard from the Diamond Gate, only proved that the conflict between him and the Liu family was irreconcilable. One party must fail.
At this moment, Gu San also reported to Gu Ji about the Liu family’s attempt to assassinate them in the Forbidden Land, making Gu Ji furious with the Liu family’s actions.
As the Prefect of Anping Prefecture, he felt his previous actions were just a warning to the Liu family. However, they dared to take action, which showed disrespect to him, which made him intolerably furious.
After learning from Gu San that Pei Xuanjing had already broken through to the fourth-grade realm, Gu Ji felt more confident. Being the Prefect, he was not short of decisiveness. “Take action, leave all members of the Liu family here.” He immediately ordered.
“Kill them, avenge my son, and recapture the artifact!”
Almost at the same time, Liu Chengxiong gave the order to the members of the Liu family.
To the fourth -grade elders who came with him, he said, “Please take action, elder!”
The fourth-grade elder nodded, “This is my duty.”
The elder of the Liu family went straight for Gu Ji, wishing to first seize the strange object. After all, he also coveted this strange object and wanted to use it to break through his realm.
Both sides took action immediately.
Although Gu Ji had practiced martial arts, he was more often infatuated with power, so his strength was only a mere sixth grade, far inferior to Liu Chengxiong.
“You all leave one person to protect the Prefect. I will take care of the fourth-grade martial artist.”
Leaving this sentence behind, Pei Xuanjing jumped up and directly confronted the elder of the Liu family.
Clang, Pei Xuanjing•s Flowing Flame Sword was drawn, its chilling sword aura directly stabbed out.
The elder of the Liu family simply sneered. With a Long Knife in his hand, he slashed, which surprisingly turned out to be a Thousand Refinement Divine Weapon, seeming to be even better quality than the Flowing Flame Sword in Pei Xuanjing’s hand.
The two people’s swords clashed, and they fought fiercely.
The elder of the Liu family had been stuck in the fourth -grade realm for many years. Although he had not been able to break through to the third grade, he had cultivated a deep true Qi foundation with the support of the Liu family’s resources and had a divine weapon in hand, making his strength remarkable.
Although Pei Xuanjing’s breakthrough came later, he was young and well-educated. He mastered several intermediate martial arts. Plus, the combat experience as a fourth-grade martial artist he obtained from the life simulator, he did not fall behind when compared to the elder of the Liu family, at least for the time being.
Their fight freed up the fourth-grade martial artist brought by Gu Ji.
Although his strength as a fourth-grade martial artist might be inferior to any one of the Liu family elder or Pei Xuanjing, when facing other Liu family martial artists with a maximum fifth-grade level, he had an absolute advantage, and there was simply no competition.
It didn’t take long for the entire Liu family to fall into a disadvantage. Liu Chengxiong was primarily targeted by the fourth-grade martial artist. If it were not for an Indomitable Weapon he had, he might have been killed on the spot..
