Translator: 549690339

If you were to ask who has been the most prominent figure in the past few decades, the undebatable answer would be the current number one person in the world, the head of Shenxiao Sect, the Great Ming National Master, Pei Xuanjing.

However, if you were to ask who is the most prominent person in the world, excluding Pei Xuanjing, there could be many answers: Zhao Baiyang, the Maitreya Sect Leader who once entered Tiandu and slayed the dragon, Xue Wuheng, the leader of the Demonic Cult who reorganized the sect, or perhaps it is Emperor Jiajing, renowned for his extraordinary methods,…

And so on, the debate about this could bring out countless people, and there would be countless arguments, each with its own support.

But, all these debates were decisively concluded two years ago, all arguments disappeared into thin air, just as the approval of Pei Xuanjing was generally acknowledged, a consensus was reached.

The second most prominent person in the world, aside from Pei Xuanjing, was none other than Wang Yun Wang Boan, standing before Pang Hong, the newly established noble of the Great Ming imperial court.

And his reputation was not only attributed to his leadership in the great military campaign to eradicate the remnants of the Former Yuan and the stand-off with the demonic beasts, but also attributed to his extraordinary strength, far beyond the ordinary.

Had it not been for an incident two years ago when a strong demon of the Spirit Realm Second Layer infiltrated the army intending to assassinate the Commander Wang Bo’an, and was later slain by his sudden display of formidable strength, no one would have thought that this great commander not only had the ability to command troops but also possessed the strength of the Spirit Realm Third Level!

The strength of the Spirit Realm Third Level was certainly shocking to all the strong fighters in the world when the news spread.

It’s worth noting that at that time, it had been only ten years since Heaven and Earth revived. Even though people like Zhao Baiyang had made considerable gains after challenging Pei Xuanjing on Shenxiao Mountain and subsequently went into seclusion, none of them was as strong as Wang Bo’an’s Spirit Realm Third Layer strength, even if some of them had broken through to the Spirit Realm Second Layer.

It could be said that at that time, aside from Pei Xuanjing, all the other strongmen of the world were inferior to him.

Most of his time over these ten years was spent on training elite soldiers and commanding troops in combat, he barely had any time for secluded cultivation, yet he possessed so much strength.

Upon further thought, this kind of talent was simply mind-boggling and shocked countless people.

It can be said that the present battlefield stability is mainly thanks to the support of the strong fighters of Heart Moon Lake and the Witch Deity Teachings, and also contributed massively by Wang Boan.

Also, it is because of this that Wang Boan, as a loyal supporter of the Great Ming imperial court, inadvertently bolstered the prestige of the court, which no one dared to underestimate.

Before such a strong man, Pang Hong would naturally not slack off in the slightest.

Wang Bo’an, unaware of Pang Hong’s thoughts, revealed a smile upon hearing that Pei Xuanjing had come out of seclusion, “Oh, the National Master has come out of seclusion, that’s really good news.”

At this moment, the millions of troops of Great Ming outside the border and the Demon Race were at a deadlock, barely budging, and both sides were somewhat cautious, so a full-scale battle has not yet erupted, but rather sensibly restrained to occasional skirmishes.

Of course, this is the situation seen by others. In fact, for Wang Bo’an, with millions of troops at his disposal, these demonic beasts are no match for him, even ensnared. He could easily eradicate all the demonic beasts while paying a certain price.

The reason for not doing so is simple, sweeping out the demonic beasts with the army would inevitably come at a great cost. Even for Wang Bo’an, if he has a choice, he wouldn’t want to make such a last-resort decision.

Secondly, there are those strong Demon Race fighters who have returned. Although Wang Bo’an has killed one of them, there are still several hiding among them. Right now, they can throttle countless demonic beasts here. If the beasts are exterminated, these unconstrained fighters would pose a threat far beyond the current situation.

So, he was waiting, waiting for Pei Xuanjing to come out of seclusion, or for other strong fighters from Great Ming to break through. He doesn’t expect to surpass the Demon Race fighters, but only hopes to buy some time by holding the other side off.

Of course, the Demon Race fighters are also similarly biding their time. As time passes, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi keeps increasing, making the demonic beasts stronger. Therefore, dragging on would also be beneficial for them.

Hearing the news that Pei Xuanjing would soon arrive, Wang Bo’an smiled. He instructed Pang Hong, “I am aware of the news, you go inform the others!”

“Yes!” Pang Hong responded and left.

While not everyone needs to know that Pei Xuanjing is coming, some people are certainly eligible to be informed. So, Pang Hong needed to notify them.

When Pei Xuanjing entered the Military City, he immediately noticed a familiar scene that reminded him of older times.

The city was almost the same as the Boundary City in his simulated life, bustling with martial artists akin to mercenaries, all gathering to hunt down demonic beasts in order to gain resources for cultivation.

At this moment, there were no ordinary people in this city. Even the vendors were martial artists who were trading their ways, each fighting their own way for their path of cultivation.

Despite being on the frontline of war and filled with all sorts of dangers, it was undeniable that the city offered opportunities far beyond what the Central Plains could provide.

For many people who lack resources, it is justifiable to give and take. What they fear the most is that after they have invested, they still can’t reap the rewards. This is the fundamental reason for their dissatisfaction.

“Master! Two seniors.” Pang Hong greeted Pei Xuanjing and the siblings Xue Hanyi.

Pei Xuanjing nodded, “Lead the way.”

“Yes!”

While leading the way for Pei Xuanjing, Pang Hong also introduced the situation within the city.

The millions of soldiers from the Great Ming imperial court, the troops from all over the world, and the flocking martial artists were all gathered here.

The place they were at has nine cities in total. Each city housed almost a million soldiers and martial artists, with almost ten million humans standing against the demonic beasts at the borders.

However, compared to the martial artists now emerging in the territory of the Great Ming, this number was not that large. Martial artists from other places kept pouring in every day. It is estimated that it wouldn’t take long for the population to exceed ten million.

“Apart from these nine cities nominally belonging to the Great Ming imperial court, apart from the three cities controlled by the court, the rest have been infiltrated by various forces.” Pang Hong whispered.

Tao Rong had been stationed on Shenxiao Mountain for a long time and didn’t know much about the situation here. Therefore, his disciple naturally needed to bring his master up to speed on the specifics.

Apart from this, it is also to make the master aware that they did not sit idly by during his years in seclusion.

“You’ve done well!” Pei Xuanjing said, praising with a smile.

It seems he had nurtured Pang Hong well, who was now fully capable of upholding the reputation of Shenxiao Sect.
