The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 80: Chapter 79: Arrogant at First, Respectful Afterwards

Translator: 549690339

Atop a tower in the northern part of the city, Pei Xuanjing and Lin Qingyi stood by a window.

Lin Qingyi pointed to a mansion about a hundred yards away, “Brother Pei, that’s the place.”

Pei Xuanjing gazed at the direction, without turning back he asked, “How many of them? How strong are they?”

Lin Qingyi replied, “Thirteen in total, nine fourth-grade martial artists, two fake masters, and two actual masters.”

He gestured towards the four individuals behind him, “With Brother Pei making a move, plus these four commanders, the victory is assured.”

The ‘Four Commanders’ mentioned by Lin Qingyi referred to the four leaders of the Brocade Guards standing behind them – Qinglong, White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Zhuque.

However, the Four Commanders sat resolute as mountains, their eyes slightly closed, appearing to not hear Lin Qingyi’s words at all, as if they were paying no attention.

Seeing their attitudes, a flash of dissatisfaction sparked in Lin Qingyi’s eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

“Are you sure?” Pei Xuanjing turned around, smiling at him.

Lin Qingyi didn’t understand, “Brother Pei, please state your concerns.”

Pei Xuanjing said, “Could there be a second-class martial artist too?”

Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing•s words, surprise crossed Lin Qingyi’s face and he quickly shook his head, denying the guess, “That’s impossible.”

He was highly confident in the information the Brocade Guards had provided and believed that no such significant oversight could have occurred.

“What if there is?” Pei Xuanjing asked again.

Unless he had learned it from life simulation, he wouldn’t believe that there was a second-class martial artist hiding in such an inconspicuous mansion – one of the ten Yama Kings of the Underworld, King Pingdeng.

However, since this information would be hard to explain and be understood, and he feared that there might be some deviations between the simulation and reality, Pei Xuanjing didn’t express his opinion with absolute certainty.

Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s belief, Lin Qingyi somewhat trusted him and shook his head reluctantly, “If it’s true, then today’s action must be cancelled.”

He spoke the truth. If it was just those men they were aware of earlier, they were certain to take them down. But if a second class martial artist is involved, then it would be impossible to resolve this easily.

He knew that the four commanders standing behind him were all third class Masters. They might stand a chance against a second class martial artist working together, but they were not dealing solely with one opponent.

As for the idea of gathering second class martial artists, Lin Qingyi didn’t have hope for it.

It wasn’t that they didn’t have second class martial artists among the Brocade Guards, but despite the large number of masters at the Brocade Guards, each of them had their own important tasks to handle due to their vast reach.

Being able to assemble the Four Commanders today was already due to the help of the Commanding Officer Jiang Bin, otherwise, it would be difficult to gather all four of them together.

If there really was a second-class martial artist involved, they could only start over and mobilize new personnel, but this might give the opponent a chance to escape.

Pei Xuanjing saw the difficulty on Lin Qingyi’s face and explained with a smile, “I just want to prepare everyone mentally, so as not to be caught off guard when the time comes.”

“As for the operation, we don’t necessarily need to cancel it. If there is a second class martial artist, leave it to me to handle.” He swept his gaze over the group, confidently stating his plan.

“Brother Pei, don’t take too much risk, we could…” Before Lin Qingyi could finish, he was interrupted by Pei Xuanjing’s emerging aura, he exclaimed with surprise, “Brother Pei, you’ve broken through to the second class.”

“Just a fluke.” Pei Xuanjing laughed.

Whoosh!

Despite his words, when Pei Xuanjing released his second-class martial artist’s aura, the four commanders, who had originally been indifferent and unresponsive with their eyes closed, all opened their eyes simultaneously. Their faces were filled with surprise.

“We failed to recognize a great man in our presence, we ask for your forgiveness.” Qinglong, along with the other three commanders, bowed down to Pei Xuanjing, making a fist out of respect.

As commanders of the Brocade Guards, they held a much higher rank than Lin Qingyi. Had it not been for Jiang Bin, they wouldn’t have been willing to follow Lin Qingyi’s command in this operation.

As a result, they showed some disregard towards Pei Xuanjing as well. Since Pei Xuanjing’s arrival, they had been aloof and unwilling to communicate much.

Pei Xuanjing, half a year ago, single-handedly killed the three fake masters of the MO Bei Triple Wolves, making a name for himself in Tiandu, but to these individuals, it wasn’t much of an accomplishment.

As Brocade Guards, they had climbed to their current positions step by step. Their subordinates were all highly accomplished individuals, so Pei Xuanjing’s fame was, in fact, somewhat begrudging and jealousy-inducing for them.

However, when Pei Xuanjing displayed his second-class martial artist prowess, all their begrudging feelings and jealousies disappeared instantly.

The Brocade Guards, compared to other places, recognized power more importantly.

Pei Xuanjing’s abilities were enough to make them bow their heads and not take him lightly.

“Commanders, there’s no need for this. I still need your cooperation in the coming matters.” Pei Xuanjing didn’t mind their previously cold attitude.

Qinglong and the others waved their hands repeatedly, “It’s just our duty.”

Seeing the change in attitude of the commanders, Lin Qingyi’s frustration was instantly swept away. But he didn’t let it show on his face.

He addressed Pei Xuanjing and the four commanders with a bow, “In that case, today we’ll completely rely on Brother Pei and the commanders.”

Pei Xuanjing and the others also reciprocated by returning the bow.

When the conversation was over, Lin Qingyi, Pei Xuanjing and the four commanders walked down from the tower and came to the front gate. A centurion from the Brocade Guards came over, “Centurion sir!” Lin Qingyi commanded, “Let’s go.”

In a blink of an eye, they were at the place a hundred yards away.

By now, the Brocade Guards had already driven away any irrelevant people in the vicinity and completely surrounded the entire mansion.

Pei Xuanjing, with a long sword attached to his waist, stood with his hands behind his back.

As soon as he stepped into this place, he keenly sensed the aura of dozens of martial artists in the mansion. Some of them were particularly strong, and amongst them, one exuded an aura not weaker than Pei Xuanjing’s.

It seemed that the other party was already prepared.contemporary romance

Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.

Looking at the closed gate, Lin Qingyi rested his hand on the Embroidered Spring Knife hanging from his waist. He collected his emotions, emotionlessly ordered, his voice echoing in the surroundings without any attempt to conceal it, “Who will announce our arrival?”

A flag bearer from the Brocade Guards was about to step forward, but he was stopped by White Tiger, one of the Four Commanders, “Let me handle it.”

White Tiger, standing eight feet tall with a robust physique, took a step forward. Gravel sprayed as he swung the large blade in his hand. The strong wind it created howled, heading directly towards the tightly shut gate.

Boom!

The tightly shut gate was smashed into countless pieces by the blade, wood splinters flying, and smoke and dust scattering.

“Bastard…”

“How dare you…”

“You’re looking for death…”

Clearly, neither the encircling Brocade Guards nor the people inside the mansion expected White Tiger to take such a violent action.

Pei Xuanjing was no exception. He looked at the White Tiger Commander with an unexpected expression on his face.

The other commanders Qinglong, Xuanwu and Zhuque looked at each other, their mouths twitching at the corners. They turned their heads, pretending not to know White Tiger..
