Chapter 387: Chapter 234 Ye Daoyuan’s Discovery

Translator: 549690339

Pei Xuanjing, who had not yet reached the Capital, did not know how crucially important his current actions were to the Emperor.

It must be clear, the current situation of the Emperor is critical. He is constantly forced by the Empress Dowager, his not-so-great power is greatly damaged, and he was ceaselessly removed under various pretexts.

Having just ascended to the throne, he should have been the supreme leader of the vast Great Tang Empire. Unfortunately, he had become the most frustrated emperor in the history of the empire, attracting countless ridicule.

Pei Min’s arrival was undoubtedly like a lamp lit up in the dark for the Emperor, bringing a ray of hope at the dimmest moment of his life.

Naturally, different strokes for different folks. Pei Xuanjing’s actions would make some people happy and some others angry.

As the biggest supporter behind the Empress Dowager, The Brahman Gate was particularly irritated by Pei Xuanjing’s move.

Strong folk of this world have countless privileges. Therefore, even the Brahman Gate, which has a profound background and many masters, would not choose to be an enemy of such a supreme unique power like Pei Xuanjing.

Even though they knew Pei Xuanjing’s arrival in the Capital was in support of the Emperor, their first act wasn’t one to fight till their last breath, but rather, they extended an olive branch, trying to win him over.

Of course, having stayed in their ivory tower for quite some time, they fumbled their olive branch offer to Pei Xuanjing, causing them to get a firm counterpunch.

At this moment, when the news reached them, they were all inflamed with rage.

In particular, when the Empress Dowager questioned their actions, it kindled an unparalleled resentment towards Pei Xuanjing within the Brahman Gate.

“Buddha is compassionate, but his eyes can sometimes express anger.” A supreme practitioner from the Brahman Gate made the final decision.

This phrase undoubtedly meant that there’s no possibility of reconciliation with Pei Xuanjing anymore. Pei Xuanjing is doomed. That’s the confidence of the Brahman Gate.

“Supreme Sword Saint, I, Baiyun Zi, am here to pay my respects.”

Just as Pei Xuanjing was about to arrive in the Capital, a young Taoist teenager appeared in front of Pei Xuanjing, obstructing his path.

Pei Xuanjing looked at the young Taoist in front of him and couldn’t help but laugh. Unknowingly, after spending 27 years in this world, he had become a senior in the eyes of others.

“Are you the disciple of the Superintendent?” Pei Xuanjing asked curiously.

The object held by the teenager before him, a short sword, was the same as the one he had handed over to Ye Daoyuan; it was a short sword carrying his Sword Intent.

At that time, Pei Xuanjing had left this object, fearing that his long-term retreat would cause him to miss this major event.

According to their agreement, even if he did not appear, he could find his retreat by relying on the guidance of this Sword Intent, and he would naturally come out after realizing this Sword Intent.

Now that the young Taoist held this short sword, Pei Xuanjing naturally considered him to be Ye Daoyuan’s disciple.

The young Taoist shook his head: “I’m not a disciple of the Superintendent. My master is the true man of Songyang Observatory.”

“It turns out that you are a great disciple of the nobleman’s truth. Indeed, a good teacher has a good disciple. At such a young age, you have achieved a third-level Gang Qi Realm in Martial Arts. It seems that the true man has accepted a good disciple.” Pei Xuanjing praised with a smile.

Hearing him mention the mentorship, he understood the identity of the other party.

Songyang Observatory is a heavenly master of the Taoist School. Although his power in the Taoist School is not considered the most powerful, his Pill Refining technique is extraordinary.

He is a direct disciple of the Taoist school. Because of his outstanding Pill Refining technique, he has gained high respect from all parties. Even after the premature death of the emperor, he was often invited to the Capital to refine pills for the emperor, gaining high status and respect.

Hearing the praise from Pei Xuanjing, Baiyun Zi blushed and replied, “Sword Saint, you are praising me too much! I’m not that skilled to deserve such praise.”

He is only sixteen years old. To anyone else, a sixteen-year-old who has reached the third stage of the Gang Qi Realm would be considered an exceptional genius.

However, compared to the legendary Sword Saint before him, achieving such a feat is nothing. The Sword Saint became famous worldwide at the age of sixteen, when he ventured into the prairie alone and slaughtered his way up to the heavenly rank with his third-stage Martial Arts prowess.

Compared to him, Baiyun Zi felt like he was from a whole different world.

Pei Xuanjing smiled faintly and asked, “I heard that the Superintendent was injured. How is his condition now?”

Rumors were that Ye Daoyuan suffered a heavy injury from a battle with the Empress Dowager.

Pei Xuanjing knew this wasn’t mere hearsay but an actual fact. After Ye Daoyuan was injured, he went into closed-door cultivation for recovery, hence they lost contact.

Upon seeing the young Taoist, he naturally brought up the question.

“With the help of my master, Ye Daoyuan’s injuries have recently improved, and he should recover in no time,” Baiyun Zi reported.

“That’s good.” Pei Xuanjing nodded, then asked, “Are you here on behalf of the Superintendent?”

“Indeed!” Baiyun Zi got serious again, “Ye Daoyuan asked me to find you and request that you don’t enter the Capital immediately.”

“Oh?” Pei Xuanjing got curious. What could possibly make the Superintendent want to prevent him from entering the Capital?

Baiyun Zi pulled out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Pei Xuanjing, “What the Superintendent wants to say is in this letter. Once you read it, you will understand.”

Pei Xuanjing accepted the letter, skimmed through it, and found it was a blank sheet.

He wasn’t surprised. Given that it was an issue worth stopping him from entering the Capital, it wouldn’t be this simple.

Given that just a third-level Martial Artist was sent to deliver the letter, Ye Daoyuan must’ve been prepared against loss or theft of the letter.

A faint smile lifted the corners of his mouth. Shenxiao Origin Qi seeped out from his fingertips. His fingers moved quickly to trace talisman patterns on the letter, and the previously blank letter started to manifest lines of writing.

“So, this is what it is!” Pei Xuanjing quickly imprinted the information from the writings into his mind. He understood the ins and outs of the recent series of events and also why Ye Daoyuan asked him not to enter the Capital immediately.

Firstly, Ye Daoyuan informed Pei Xuanjing about his current situation. During the original fight with the Empress Dowager, her demonstrated strength was earth-shattering, completely beyond his expectation. If he hadn’t been prepared in advance, it would’ve been extremely difficult for him to escape that day.

The fight between the two was sudden and swift, revealing many secrets about the Empress Dowager. According to what Ye Daoyuan stated, the Empress Dowager’s cultivation included not only the Brahman Gate’s skills but also traces of many Demonic Cult techniques.

This discovery made Ye Daoyuan’s heart sink. He couldn’t imagine that the Demonic Cult would also get involved in this matter.
