Chapter 629: Chapter 579: The Reaction of the Canglang Palace
No matter what the original intentions of the Canglang Palace were in instigating this conflict, Pei Xuanjing knew one thing – that everyone was now waiting for his response, and based on his actions this time, would determine their attitude towards him.
If Pei Xuanjing chose to back down and soothe the anger of the Canglang Palace, it would mean one thing – he was admitting defeat. This would make other forces think he was weak, and might encourage them to gang upon him like a pack of hyenas, tearing at him to seize any advantage. Thus, Pei Xuanjing would not back down or compromise.
Moreover, he was not the one at fault this time, so why should he back down?
True, this conflict had somewhat disturbed Pei Xuanjing’s original plans and was somewhat unexpected.
But after some consideration, Pei Xuanjing found that this was also an opportunity – an opportunity to make genuine contact with the forces of the Sky Wasteland.
In the past, those against him–even those cultivators of the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm–were but scattered and unorganized forces. These people would only feel that their defeat was due to opportunistic circumstances and that his rise to fame was merely accidental. Otherwise, the disciples of the Canglang Palace would not have treated him as such.
The current Canglang Palace, however, was a very suitable target. They held a certain degree of power and status within the Sky Wasteland, yet were somewhat inferior to those top forces presiding over individuals of the Nine Realms of Spirit.
If Pei Xuanjing made his move this time, suppressing the members of Canglang Palace so they dare not defy him again, it would undoubtedly serve as a wake-up call to many forces in the Sky Wasteland. Furthermore, it would allow them to recognize entirely the hand that Pei Xuanjing held, as well as his strength.
In this way, it could also serve as a point of entry for Pei Xuanjing to declare to those forces in the Sky Wasteland that he was not an empty name. He possessed enough strength to stand equal with them and deserved their respect.
