Pei Xuanjing understood that forcing Shen’s Business Association to cooperate in eliminating the Liu family was profitable for him and carried no risk. However, it might not necessarily be the case for Shen’s Business Association.
In previous life simulations, there were situations where Shen’s Business Association and the Jin family teamed up with him to ambush the Liu family. But Pei Xuanjing was no longer daring to stake everything on this, for in subsequent simulations, the interactions between him, Shen’s Business Association, and the Jin family seemed to have vanished, causing him to question.
He was accustomed to preparing a back- up plan, which was the Prefect.
According to several simulation results, his collaboration with the Prefect had been successful, with no major conflicts arising between the two.
In the most recent simulation when he returned the exotic object, the Prefect even retained him, assisting him in obtaining resources to break through to the Fifth Rank, proving that cooperation between both parties was possible.
Therefore, one night he quietly visited the Prefect, offering to help him gain the exotic object in exchange for his assistance.
Although Pei Xuanjing had prepared a contingency plan, he didn’t expect the Shen family to actually betray him and surprisingly, two Fifth Rank Martial Artists to attack him.
In desperation, he used the Thousand-Li Fire to summon the backup prepared by the Prefect.
This was his last resort. If even the Prefect betrayed him, he could only flee in embarrassment, withdrawing to a far-off place and no longer participating in the affairs of the Forbidden Place and Blessed Land.
Thankfully, the Prefect abided by the agreement. Upon triggering the Thousand-Li Fire, three Fifth Rank Martial Artists and several Sixth Rank Martial Artists arrived.
