At this moment, the fortress they just broke into was one of the many hideouts controlled by the mortal enemy of the Great Xue Ancient Nation in the Sky Wasteland, after they returned from hiding.

The fortress was small, the strongest cultivator stationed here was merely a cultivator at the second realm of the Spiritual Realm. Opposing Xue Renfang, this powerful figure, even if he did not personally take action, Xue Hanyi could easily suppress and kill him.

After killing those powerful men, they were harvesting their spoils of war while Xue Renfang received the circulated news from Bai Xiaosheng, warning them to be cautious.

“This is the warning of that national teacher, warning outsiders like us to abide by his rules,” Xue Renfang said solemnly with a hint of complexity in his pupils. “If anyone violates his rules, they will certainly be punished.”

Xue Hanyi was silent for a moment before he finally spoke, “So, this is why you wanted to meet him personally and inform him of our next moves, right?”

Despite having survived his years-long confinement atop the Shenxiao Mountain, he could not help but shudder upon facing Pei Xuanjing.

However, he was still careful with his words, implying that Xue Renfang was going to pay a visit to Pei Xuanjing, perhaps in his heart this could be another word: pay tribute.

“Haha, you do not need to conceal it for me, having a discussion and being on equal footing with him is what outsiders say.” Xue Renfang sneered, “I’m going to pay tribute to him, or should I say, seek his approval.”

Before he met Pei Xuanjing, Xue Renfang had taken pride in his origin and power. Nevertheless, after returning from Tiandu, he no longer held any such feelings.

The prince of the Great Xue Ancient Country, having reached the sixth level and being a strong cultivator at the seventh level of the Spiritual Realm, such a bold reputation might give him incomparable confidence when dealing with others. Even when facing top cultivators of the same realm from the Sky Wasteland, he would not feel inferior, nor would he underestimate himself.

However, when facing Pei Xuanjing, he felt that all his pride and self-esteem were groundless. His cultivation speed, which he was most proud of, was no match for Pei Xuanjing’s age, barely sixty years old.

At first, he had a bit of self-esteem during their conversation. But as he got to know Pei Xuanjing better, talking to him felt like speaking to the head of the Great Xue nation or an ancestor, and he couldn’t help but feel inferior.

Consequently, he had no regrets about the contract he signed and did not feel shamed at all. In his eyes, out of all the seventh level cultivators in the Sky Wasteland, only a handful of them could face Pei Xuanjing with confidence.

He turned to the two people next to him: “The task you two completed in the Ancestral Land was done very well, after the king arrives, I will personally recommend your accomplishments.”

At first, when they received a message from the Xue Hanyi siblings in the Sky Wasteland, not many people were pleased. They believed that the siblings had messed up the mission and wasted the resources and effort invested by the ancient country.

However, once Xue Renfang had direct contact with Pei Xuanjing, he understood that the fault did not lie with the siblings. In the end, Pei Xuanjing was just too powerful. His existence was beyond everyone’s expectations. Regardless of whether it was the Xue Hanyi siblings or anyone else, there wouldn’t have been any changes. The ending would’ve been the same, if not worse.

Look at the delegation sent by the Great River ancient country. It was led by a great cultivator at the sixth level of the Spiritual Realm, with many cultivators at the fourth and fifth levels. Their strength exceeded the Xue Hanyi siblings by many folds, yet their end was tragic.

So, the siblings, under such circumstances, ended up building a friendship with Pei Xuanjing instead of causing harm. They did more good than harm.

“Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness.” The faces of Xue Hanyi and Xue Shuangyue showed excitement, they said tremblingly.

The siblings had been worrying about the situation and were ready for whatever punishment was to come. Now hearing Xue Renfang’s words, they could finally put their worried hearts at ease.

“No need to be so formal.” Xue Renfang waved his hand and said, “The most important thing now is to seize the time and prepare for the upcoming arrival of the king.”

Sometimes, knowing the rules is very important. Or whether you can get the approval is also important.

Now that these people have descended into the Sky Wasteland, when they discovered that the current situation in the Ancestral Land cannot be altered due to the presence of Pei Xuanjing, they all thought the same thing, to hide in wait, secretly expand their influence during this time, prepare to lead the forces in the Sky Wasteland, and set their sights on the time thirty years later.

However, secretly expanding their influence and their strength isn’t without repercussions, on the contrary, their actions will inevitably cause huge waves.

Some people might think that as long as they don’t provoke Pei Xuanjing’s Taoist School, or the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, they can act recklessly. But that’s not the case. If their actions caused any major changes, they will certainly attract Pei Xuanjing’s attention and restrictions.

Since Xue Renfang has obtained Pei Xuanjing’s approval, he could expand his influence outside the borders as much as he wanted, as long as he doesn’t violate Pei Xuanjing’s rules, he won’t attract any attacks.

But after the men from the Demonic Way made their moves, not only were they counterattacked by Xue Wuheng, but during Xue Wuheng’s counterattack, Bai Xiaosheng would also assist.

Such drastically different treatment ultimately boils down to whether one has obtained Pei Xuanjing’s approval, whether one has obeyed Pei Xuanjing’s rules.

“I wonder how many people will die this time!” Xue Renfang sighed as he gazed into the distance.

Xue Renfang knew very well about those people in the Sky Wasteland. They were not really afraid of Pei Xuanjing. Until they had seen Pei Xuanjing with their own eyes, they wouldn’t think that he was that terrifying.

A strong cultivator in the seventh realm of the Spiritual Realm was of great importance to these forces that had strong men to dispatch, worthy of their attention but not their fear.

So, even if Pei Xuanjing’s message reached these people’s hands, they would not care.

“We do not interfere with the interests of your Shenxiao Sect and Taoist School, this is already giving you, Pei Xuanjing, a lot of face. Pei Xuanjing, you may be in the seventh realm of the Spiritual Realm, but do you want to control everyone in the world?”

This was undoubtedly what those people believed.

And Xue Renfang, who had also interacted with Pei Xuanjing, knew for sure that Pei Xuanjing was neither soft-hearted nor easily compromised.

Therefore, someone would surely pay the price in blood.
