Chapter 680: Chapter 630: Bai Xiaosheng’s Ambition
Pei Xuanjing watched Bai Xiaosheng, who was standing before him, and asked, “Since you are here now, I suppose you are confident?”
Given Bai Xiaosheng’s circumstances, he would not have appeared with such boldness had he not been fully confident.
With a light chuckle, Bai Xiaosheng said, “To be honest, the reason I withdrew earlier was because I was worried that the power of Sky Mechanism Pavilion was too great and I would bring trouble to you, brother Pei, so…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Pei Xuanjing understood that Bai Xiaosheng had retreated because he knew that there were two cultivators from the Nine Realms of Spirit in the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, and he felt that he could not compete with them, hence he chose to step back.
It was only when he heard that Pei Xuanjing had suppressed the Taixu Venerable that he realised that Xuanjing could protect him, and that was why he chose to appear now.
Upon understanding this, Pei Xuanjing was unfazed. He believed that it was human instinct to seek benefits and avoid risks, so he didn’t mind Bai Xiaosheng’s explanation at all. After all, if he were in the same situation, he probably would have made the same choice.
Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s composed expression, Bai Xiaosheng knew that he had let the matter go. Not wanting to dwell on it, he changed the subject: “Brother Pei, do you know that something big is happening in the Sky Wasteland?”
By this point, with the emergence of many cultivators in the Sky Wasteland, all its veils had been completely lifted and were fully exposed to everyone.
Gauging by Bai Xiaosheng’s thought process, even though he temporarily retreated and relinquished his information network, he didn’t abandon his interest in the Sky Wasteland. The occurrence in the Sky Wasteland where forces were converging from all sides, immediately made him realize that this could be a good opportunity.
