Chapter 268: 209

Translator: 549690339

Pei Xuanjing originally didn’t take the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu seriously, but once the latter made his move, Pei Xuanjing wouldn’t tolerate him either.

Ever since Zhao Baiyang informed him that the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu was conspiring against him, Pei Xuanjing naturally wouldn’t sit and wait for his death. So, he had sent a message to Bai Xiaosheng, asking him to monitor the Ghost Emperor’s movements.

A few days ago, he had already learned of the Ghost Emperor’s whereabouts. If it weren’t for the change in his initial plan, which required waiting for replies from Bai Xiaosheng and Dragon Tiger Mountain, he would have descended the mountain long ago.

Now that the matters of Dragon Tiger Mountain had temporarily concluded, he decided to immediately descend the mountain and deal with this trouble.

A manor hundreds of miles away from Dragon Tiger Mountain.

This manor was built in the suburbs, with sparse human traffic. The locals only knew this place as the mansion of a wealthy merchant.

No one knew that this place was also a secret base of the underworld.

The Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, dressed in his ceremonial dragon robe, sat in the main seat with a somber expression and a burning rage in his heart.

“A bunch of cowards!”

“Just a single Pei Xuanjing, and they’re terrified of him. They still have the audacity to call themselves masters.”

Now, even when I invite him to take action, he dares not. I really look down on him.”

“And that Sky Demon Sect Leader, Xue Wuheng, who was bragging about wanting to see Pei Xuanjing’s abilities before, now dares not come, saying he disdains to join forces. Heh, pretending to be a master of the Righteous Path, truly contemptible.”

The Ghost Emperor of Fengdu couldn’t help but be angry. He never expected that Pei Xuanjing’s display of power during his battle against the elder Celestial Master at Dragon Tiger Mountain would deter so many people.

In this period of time, he invited many people to join hands and deal with Pei Xuanjing.

But those people not only changed color when they heard Pei Xuanjing’s name, they also kept refusing.

Even Zhao Baiyang, the Sect Leader of Mire Sect, and Xue Wuheng, the Sky Demon Sect Leader, refused his invitation, which infuriated the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu.

Not to mention Xue Wuheng, but in his mind, Zhao Baiyang’s Mire Sect had a significant grudge against Pei Xuanjing, yet he also refused. It was incomprehensible.

Unfortunately, he had spent a lot of effort recently and only managed to invite a Seven Kills Sword Master of the Seven Kills Demon Sect to join.

“Hmm!” The emperor huffed in frustration.

Just as this happened, a tall, middle-aged man carrying a long sword strode in.

Despite being sheathed, the long sword on the man’s back emitted a terrifying aura, filled with a sense of death, as if a sea of corpses and oceans of blood were rushing over.

With a touch of impatience between his eyebrows, the Seven Kills Sword

Master asked, “When exactly are we going to wait?”

Although he had no grievances or grudges with Pei Xuanjing, after witnessing Pei Xuanjing’s fight on Dragon Tiger Mountain, he was eager to see Pei Xuanjing’s Sword Mastery and wanted to prove who was superior.

So when the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu invited him, he didn’t refuse and wanted to take this opportunity to fight against Pei Xuanjing.

However, after waiting several days here without any movement from the other party, he started to grow impatient.

Despite the Seven Kills Sword Master’s impoliteness, the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu wasn’t too bothered. After all, he was the only powerful figure who had accepted his invitation at the moment.

To prevent this master from leaving, he had no choice but to placate him: “We just need to wait for a while longer; I have invited several other masters who will be arriving soon.”

He was also in a hurry, but he knew that he couldn’t rush such matters.

After witnessing Pei Xuanjing’s strength firsthand, the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu realized that killing him wouldn’t be easy. As it stood, even if they teamed up, there was little certainty of success.

Considering the underworld, those First-grade masters didn’t even qualify to partake in this ambush. Therefore, he had to gather a few more masters to ensure that he could restrain Pei Xuanjing.

“I can’t wait for you indefinitely,” the Seven Kills Sword Master said coldly.

Even if it was to challenge Pei Xuanjing, he couldn’t keep waiting indefinitely.

The Ghost Emperor of Fengdu nodded and promised, “It won’t be long, I assure… ”

Boom!

Before the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu could finish his sentence, a loud noise suddenly came from outside, and the ground beneath their feet violently shook as if there was an earthquake.

Someone was attacking!

The Ghost Emperor and the Seven Kills Sword Master glanced at each other, instantly realizing what was happening.

“Who dares to attack an underworld base? They’re looking for death!” The Ghost Emperor of Fengdu was livid.

At the same time, he wondered if the underworld had especially bad luck recently to continually encounter these unfortunate events.

“How dare this audacious villain intrude…”

Such a disturbance naturally drew the attention of experts affiliated with the underworld within the manor; someone instantly chided aloud.

Unfortunately, before they could finish, they abruptly stopped speaking.

Immediately afterward, a deafening voice reached the ears of the two, making them pale.

“Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, you’ve been looking for me, haven’t you? I’m here today, why don’t you come out and meet me!”

The loud voice echoed in all directions, causing the people of the underworld within the manor to change colors.

How did he come here!

The Ghost Emperor of Fengdu’s face changed slightly. He never expected that Pei Xuanjing would take the initiative to seek him out, let alone be aware of his location.

Someone must have betrayed him.

He knew in his heart that someone among those he had contacted must have sought to be on friendly terms with Pei Xuanjing, and hence betrayed him, allowing Pei Xuanjing to learn of his plans.

“If I find out who betrayed me, I will make sure they die a painful death!” The Ghost Emperor hid his murderous intent.

“Hahahaha, Excellent!” The Seven Kills Sword Master was initially taken aback, but then with a determined flash of his form, he rushed outside.

“Wait…”

The Ghost Emperor’s attempt to stop him was in vain and his expression flashed with resentment. Despite his displeasure, he reluctantly followed the master who was currently the only one to accept his invitation.

From his instinct as an assassin, his first thought at this moment wasn’t to confront the enemy, but rather to leave this place.

The masters he had invited had not yet arrived and teaming up with the Seven Kills Sword Master, they likely weren’t a match for Pei Xuanjing.

Even if they achieved victory, if Pei Xuanjing intended to escape, they wouldn’t be able to hold him back.

It would be better to withdraw immediately to avoid the sharp edge temporarily.

But seeing the Seven Kills Sword Master rush out, he had no choice but to suppress his desire to leave and followed him out.

In the manor, Pei Xuanjing, dressed in a dark brown robe with hands behind his back, stood atop a pavilion. His robe rippled in the wind; his eyes were sharp as he keenly sensed the situation within the manor, trying to detect the traces of Ghost Emperor of Fengdu..
