Chapter 555: Chapter 503: Who Made the Rules
Why is Xue Renfang behaving in such a way, seeking a promise from Pei Xuanjing before proceeding with his own plans?
In truth, regardless of how it is phrased, it basically all boils down to two words: power.
In the current Daming World, Pei Xuanjing is an unrivaled force suppressing the world beneath him with his strength, and it is not an empty claim.
The power of Pei Xuanjing is built upon the lives of countless mighty ones. He has reached this stage through constant battle, and although he had gradually cultivated his morality and exercised restraint, rarely making a move, no one dared to underestimate him, believing Pei Xuanjing is of the soft-hearted, lenient sort.
Although many martial artists in the Jianghu now praise Pei Xuanjing for establishing the Taoist Academy, teaching countless skills to the martial artists of the world, creating a pathway for numerous martial artists to rise in ranks, being hailed as a saintly wise man, a magnanimous and benevolent leader of the Righteous Path, the chief of the Taoist School.
Yet, those peers who have witnessed Pei Xuanjing’s rise to power remember his past demeanor all too well. After all, names can be mistakenly remembered, but nicknames cannot. The nickname Slayer Taoist might not be mentioned by anyone now, but that doesn’t mean they have truly forgotten.
It was precisely because of his formidable reputation in the past that even if Pei Xuanjing’s actions and plans were detrimental to the interests of various powers, as long as he did not enforce forcefully and simply used his open scheme to advance his cause, the strong ones within those great powers might harbor grudges and internal dissatisfaction, but no one dared to openly oppose him, forcing Pei Xuanjing to act out angrily.
In tumultuous times, heroes emerge.
The world of the Great Ming, which has been in existence for six hundred years, is gradually declining, and chaos is looming. When Pei Xuanjing and others broke the seals of Heaven and Earth, reopening the Cultivation path, many great powers should have risen against each other in this Great World, vying for territories, gulping down each other, and waiting for the situation where numerous mighty ones will finally emerge from the competition.
