With that thought in mind, Pei Xuanjing understood why a martial artist like Qingyang Zi would choose to leave the court after breaking through to the first-grade realm.

Unfortunately, Jiang Bin himself was part of the bureaucratic system, and he naturally wouldn’t let such things happen.

Without the other party’s help, it wasn’t easy for Pei Xuanjing to lure out Qian Ning.

After all, there were martial artists in the capital of Tiandu who weren’t inferior to him. Pei Xuanjing wasn’t afraid, but he couldn’t kill them all, nor could he vanish after killing.

Seeing Pei Xuanjing temporarily set the matter aside, Jiang Bin felt relieved. He finally understood why those people were so wary of first-grade martial artists.

Martial artists, after reaching this realm, had an aura of invincibility around them. This was no exaggeration.

Apart from martial artists of the same realm, they couldn’t easily be restrained, and there was no one who could restrain them.

“Since Mr. Pei doesn’t agree, then let’s think of other methods.” Jiang Bin finally compromised.

Regardless, Jiang Bin knew he didn’t want Pei Xuanjing to take drastic measures.

Pei Xuanjing did not indicate agreement or refusal. His True Qi moved, and the letter in his hand ignited without wind, turning to floating ashes.

To be honest, he was now harboring a killing intention towards Qian Ning. If Jiang Bin could not knock him down, he’d have to take action, denying the other party the chance to live.

“Brother Jiang, I want to know the origin of the eunuch.” Pei Xuanjing suddenly spoke.

Although he is an eunuch, he is a first-grade martial artist and deserves a certain amount of respect.

He was curious about this old eunuch’s identity. Although they had not yet clashed, he could feel that the other’s strength should be good, but it seemed to have deteriorated due to age.

“Which eunuch? The one next to the emperor?” Jiang Bin initially paused to think, then understood who Pei Xuanjing was referring to.

“That person is called Wang Zhi. Have you heard of this name?” Since Pei Xuanjing asked, he did not hide it, because even if he didn’t tell, someone would.

“It’s him!”

Pei Xuanjing found the name somewhat unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar.

Jiang Bin revealed the origin of the other party. This old eunuch was called Wang Zhi. He has long entered the palace since the reign of Emperor Xianzong, promoted due to a favoured concubine.

From an ordinary eunuch, he rose steadily to a high position. Due to his outstanding talent in martial arts and recognition from the emperor, he became the first to break the convention of eunuchs commanding the soldiers in the capital.

After Emperor Xianzong’s death, he began to hide in the palace, serving as a guard for the royal family, receiving the trust and favour of successive emperors.

“He is also the founder of the Xi Factory, and he was the first supervisor of the Xi Factory, ” Jiang Bin suggested with a hint of deeper meaning.

It was because of Wang Zhi’S existence that the Xi Factory, which should have been disbanded due to the chaos years ago, was able to survive, demonstrating the emperor’s utmost trust in him.

However, these were just some of his experiences. The most important point was that he had lived for nearly three and a half 60-year cycles since the time of Emperor Xianzong.

“Three and a half 60-year cycles, over two hundred years. What a long time!” Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but sigh.

Over two hundred years, equating to two centuries in his previous life.

For a person’s life to reach two centuries, in Pei Xuanjing’s past life, was no less than an immortal.

In the practice of martial arts, the third -grade realm represents a transformation, not only a transformation of strength, but also a change in the essence of life.

A third-grade martial artist can live for two 60-year cycles. If one breaks through to the second-grade martial artist realm, they can live for three 60-year cycles. As for a first-grade martial artist, they can live for four 60-year cycles if nothing goes wrong.

Of course, martial artists fight constantly. Perhaps because of the injuries left by fights and cultivation, most martial artists cannot live that long.

“Indeed, it’s envious.” Jiang Bin also sighed, but then he looked enviously at Pei Xuanjing.

If Wang Zhi was admirable, then Pei Xuanjing in front of him was even more impressive!

At less than 24 years old, Pei Xuanjing shocked many by breaking through to the second-grade realm. However, when he demonstrated the ability to kill a first-grade martial artist, it was even more astounding.

A second-grade martial artist generally has a lifespan of three 60-year cycles. The now twenty-something Pei Xuanjing, even if he does not make any further progress, will be a powerful force in the next hundred years – his influence will probably only decrease in his last few decades when his body ages and vitality weakens.

But would such a young second-grade martial artist’s future really stop here?

No one would believe that Pei Xuanjing would remain stagnant.

At least Jiang Bin was the first to not believe it.

He even speculated that with Pei Xuanjing’s talent, he might be able to break into the first-grade realm before thirty.

At that time, in comparison to those ‘elders’ who broke through to the first-grade realm at a much older age, how strong would Pei Xuanjing be? Could he rival Ancestor Sanfeng, who dominated the world in his time?

This was unknown.

The future remained unknown, but at least the power Pei Xuanjing currently showed made everyone look up to him.

Of course, while some people were looking forward to seeing Pei Xuanjing’s growth, others were not. They didn’t want another supreme ruler to appear.

Perhaps, someone was already planning to kill this budding hope when he broke through.

When the time comes, it might be a storm that no one can predict! Thinking of this, Jiang Bin reminded Pei Xuanjing, “Brother Pei, you should be extra careful today.”

Pei Xuanjing smiled faintly, “Brother Jiang, have you heard any news?”

Given the thorough information network of the Brocade Guards, he must have received some news; otherwise, Jiang Bin would not have said this.

“There are people from the Yinsi heading towards Xuanfu, as if they want to kill you,” Jiang Bin slowly said.

“Oh!” Pei Xuanjing’s face turned cold. He hadn’t even found trouble for the Yinsi, but surprisingly, they dared to seek trouble with him.

“It seems, the person that Yinsi has sent this time has quite a big profile.” Pei Xuanjing thought.

Jiang Bin nodded his head, “The rumor is that one of the Five Ghost Emperors of the Yinsi has come out of retreat and personally led people.”

Pei Xuanjing nodded his head, “No wonder.”

“So, you must be careful. In recent days, it’s best not to go out alone,” Jiang Bin reminded him.

“Master!” Lin Qingyi came running over from a distance and softly said, “Just received news, the Emperor summoned you, asking you to quickly see him.”

Upon hearing the summons from the Emperor, Jiang Bin did not delay any longer. He saluted Pei

Xuanjing, “Let’s end the conversation here today. Do you want to return with me, Mr. Pei?” “No need. Since the emperor has summoned you, Brother Jiang, you shouldn’t delay. As for me, I would like to keep admiring the magnificent landscape.” Pei Xuanjing politely refused.

Jiang Bin nodded and didn’t say anything further. He led the others away.

Pei Xuanjing stood alone on the mountain, hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the distance with a calm face, deep in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, Pei Xuanjing withdrew his gaze, turned around, and began to speak

“Since you’re here, don’t sneak around.”

As Pei Xuanjing’s voice fell, three figures appeared a hundred yards away..
