Chapter 711: [538] On that day, God Pei descended, and with one sword, he split the mountain (A major chapter asking for monthly tickets)_1 Chapter 711: [538] On that day, God Pei descended, and with one sword, he split the mountain (A major chapter asking for monthly tickets)_1 Pei Jinye had never seen the Emperor of the Ancient Yao Light Country, and showed little interest in the platitudes written in the letter, glancing at it briefly before dismissing it.
However, he was curious about the ntioned full support and needed to verify just how ‘full’ it would be himself.
Following the principle that one must never wrong oneself even if it ans wronging others, Pei Jinye instructed Steward Li to arrange for the addition of more nourishing items, to which Steward Li agreed without hesitation.
With the death of Bi Yuntao, the Liyue Sword Sect was naturally not going to stand by idly.
The Imperial Secret Agents with Golden Waist Badges were also Great Grandmasters and had taken action one step ahead, as there were already mbers of the Liyue Sword Sect in the palace.
Moreover, the Liyue Sword Sect was not a monolith, so there was an opportunity to diate from within.
Pei Jinye was not particularly worried about this.
What he really wanted to do was to continuously enhance his cultivation through the journey.
Regardless of whether he was certain of success or not,
he would not give up any opportunity to beco stronger.
…
Early the next morning.
Pei Jinye and his entourage had already gone ashore.
“Once we get past the Niu Shou Gate ahead, we’ll enter the territory of the Liyue Sword Sect, and we should arrive around noon. The horse-drawn carriages are on the way, each one pulled by selected Sweat Blood Treasures Horses, which might allow us to arrive even before noon,” said Steward Li, respectfully at his side.
Behind them were a dozen or so robust plainclothes guards.
“How many Dragonfish are left?” Pei Jinye asked casually.
“This is the last Dragonfish,” Steward Li said, carefully gauging Pei Jinye’s expression before quickly explaining, “It’s not that we were careless; it’s just that all the available Dragonfish are already here.”
“Only the last one left, huh,” Pei Jinye said regretfully.
He hadn’t felt satisfied after eating the three Dragonfish from before, and last night, two more arrived… only to find that it was already down to the last one.
Looking at the added thousand or more Attribute Points on the attribute panel, Pei Jinye then asked, “Is there any other nourishnt available?”
“In response to the Marquis, there are three Lingzhi mushrooms remaining, one pair of antlers, and one Red Blood Carp,” Steward Li replied promptly.
“Cook them all,” Pei Jinye commanded.
“Yes, Marquis!”
Having been given an order, Steward Li led the way to the nearest post station.
The post station was not very crowded at that ti.
Of the more than a dozen tables, only a third were occupied.
When Pei Jinye and his party arrived at the post station, it was hard not to attract attention.
The more than a dozen n with formidable auras filled up the place nicely.
The inn’s waiter was taken aback by the sight of Pei Jinye and his party, serving them carefully, worried that offending this group could get him a knife across his throat.
His hand even trembled as he poured the tea.
Fortunately, the teapot was taken from him by a guard near Steward Li, and he was relieved.
“Marquis, please wait a mont while I go borrow a stove,” Steward Li whispered.
Pei Jinye nodded in response.
Steward Li left with the waiter.
The surrounding guards also stood and seated themselves in nearby spots following a wave of Pei Jinye’s hand.
“I am Xu Qingfeng, and I salute you, young master,” said a young man dressed like a traveling noble, greeting Pei Jinye from across two tables at that mont.
While his voice was deliberately low, it was clear to the discerning eye that this was a woman disguised as a man.
Before Pei Jinye could respond, the pretty girl seated next to “Xu Qingfeng” quickly pulled at her sleeve, seemingly scolding her for speaking out of turn while also nodding apologetically at Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye shifted his gaze away, not taking them to heart.
He closed his eyes to rest. At his level of cultivation, the entire post station fell within his range of perception, and the whispered conversations of the two young won could hardly escape him.
…
“Stop it.”
“What’s the harm? When traveling the world, it’s important to make more friends.”
“But they look so fierce.”
“How can you judge people by their appearance? They could well be tough on the outside but soft on the inside.”
“…”
The two were whispering sothing to each other.
Suddenly, the sound of urgent hooves approached from a distance.
Soon, two fine horses dashed past the front of the post station, drawing the attention of many.
“Strange…” the Xu-nad young lady, unable to contain herself, murmured.
“What is it?” the pretty girl beside her asked, looking puzzled.
“Those two people just now were wearing Liyue Sword Sect uniforms, which ans they are disciples of the sect. I’ve never seen them in such a hurry; could there be so new rumor in the martial world?” the Xu-nad young lady wondered aloud.
The pretty girl was clueless.
But then a conversation from the side reached them.
“Recently in Jiangnan, Xu Qianpeng, one of the Xu Family’s Five Tiger Generals, was struck dead by heavenly thunder, and there’s still no explanation for it.”
“What explanation is needed? It’s divine punishnt! I heard that soone from Mansion of King Mu offended the heavens, so heaven is enacting punishnt…”
“Offended the heavens? What could be serious enough to do that?”
“It must be sothing heinously wrong.”
“What kind of thing would be considered heinously wrong?”
“It must be… Are you trying to trap into saying sothing?”
…
The pretty girl discreetly tugged at her companion’s sleeve, about to say sothing, when a pleasant aroma hit her nose, and she couldn’t help but look over.
“That slls amazing.”
At this point, the sounds of conversation gradually ceased, and many heads turned to look.
However, the Knife-bearing Guards at the scene already had their hands on the hilts of their swords in unison.
The atmosphere suddenly beca tense.
Pei Jinye was completely indifferent to these people.
After waiting the ti it took for an incense stick to burn, Steward Li and others brought over three dishes of nourishing food.
Pei Jinye began to eat as if no one else was present.
The Xu-nad young lady craned her neck curiously, “This person can eat so much by himself…”
