Chapter 112 - 111: Breaking the Stalemate



“Your Excellency, disaster has struck!” Lin Qingyi knelt halfway in front of Jiang Bin, reporting.

Surrounded by countless Brocade Guards, even if Lin Qingyi were a master who had already reached the Third-grade Realm, it wouldn’t be easy for him to leave.

However, the situation naturally changed after Pei Xuanjing killed Qian Ning.

Everyone knew there were two people among the Brocade Guards whom the Emperor trusted most, one was the late Commanding Officer Qian Ning, and the other was Commanding Officer Jiang Bin.

Qian Ning had originally allowed Lin Qingyi to relay information, intending to capture someone red-handed and conveniently trouble Jiang Bin.

However, Qian Ning had never expected that, under his heavy siege, not only did he not capture Pei Xuanjing, but instead got killed in the act.

With Qian Ning dead, many assumed the Commanding Officer of this imperial guard, aside from Commanding Officer Jiang Bin, would be no one else.

Given this line of thought, it was inevitable that someone would wish to curry favor and switch sides.

As a result, Lin Qingyi seized the chance to leave amidst the confusion and immediately reported everything that happened here to Jiang Bin.

Even though Jiang Bin was able to stand on an equal footing with Qian Ning in the Brocade Guards and naturally had many supporters, he was fully aware of the happenings here.

However, even if he understood the situation clearly, Jiang Bin could only feign ignorance due to his awkward predicament.

His attempt to win over Pei Xuanjing was a known fact.

Now that Pei Xuanjing’s identity as a remnant of the Shenxiao Sect had been exposed, he found himself in a bind.

To aid Pei Xuanjing would be the equivalent of blatantly opposing the imperial court, which was courting death.

Yet if he didn’t help, how would others perceive him?

While he may not care how others regard him, what he was more concerned about was the Emperor’s opinion of him.

This Emperor was unique. Besides his royal status, he carried a hint of Jianghu spirit. If Jiang Bin really turned a blind eye, the Emperor would inevitably harbor resentment.

So, for Jiang Bin, the only thing he could do was to have Lin Qingyi relay the news, then stand by and observe.

“This situation is likely beyond retrieval now!” Jiang Bin’S expression darkened. He looked troubled as he spoke.

It could be said that he wasn’t at all happy about Qian Ning’s death or the possibility of him assuming the position of Commanding Officer. Instead, he felt the matter was getting trickier.

“That bastard Qian Ning, even in death, leaves trouble behind for me,” cursed Jiang Bin furiously. Lin Qingyi didn’t understand this and asked, “Your Excellency, what do you mean by that?” Jiang Bin sneered. “Do you think His Majesty really cares about the remnants of Shenxiao?” “The issue of the Shenxiao remnants is significant. How could His Majesty not…”

As Lin Qingyi was halfway through his sentence, he was interrupted. Jiang Bin laughed cynically, “How glorious was the Shenxiao Sect at its peak? Yet, it still fell in the end. Even if a Pei Xuanjing has appeared now, what could it possibly do?”

Jiang Bin saw it clearly. The Shenxiao Sect incident had occurred two hundred years ago. The reason for the continuous hunt for the remnants of Shenxiao was nothing more than the imperial court issuing a blatant warning to the Taoist School, Buddhism School, and other forces.

Both Pei Xuanjing and Lin Qingyi, as well as many others, had fallen into a misunderstanding.

They thought the Emperor would have a strong concern due to the magnified attention the initial situation had brought.

But even if Pei Xuanjing was incredibly talented and formidable, he was still far from the former glory of the Shenxiao Sect.

To the Emperor, who had witnessed the destruction of the Shenxiao Sect, what threat could a single Pei Xuanjing pose?

Only when he understood this did Jiang Bin have Lin Qingyi relay the information.

“However, now the situation has changed. The moment Mr. Pei killed Qian Ning, the Emperor’s attitude towards the matter changed,” Jiang Bin said, shaking his head.

From the Emperor’s perspective, he could disregard the issue of the Shenxiao remnants. Even if Pei

Xuanjing took the opportunity to flee, as long as he stayed out of his sight, he didn’t care in the least.

However, the moment Pei Xuanjing killed Qian Ning and spoke those words, it signified that the Emperor would inevitably be furious, as Pei Xuanjing’s existence was now a clear challenge to imperial power.

As the protector of imperial power, the Emperor naturally couldn’t allow Pei Xuanjing to continue living.

Jiang Bin glanced at Lin Qingyi and said indifferently, “At this time, the Capital Commanding Department troops should already be mobilized.”

“Sir, does this mean Mr. Pei’s death is certain?” Lin Qingyi’s face showed a look of despair.

Generally speaking, he didn’t want to see Pei Xuanjing meet such an end.

Jiang Bin shook his head: “I neither qualify nor dare to interfere with the mobilization of the Capital Commanding Department’s troops.”

Sighing, he said, “All I can do is give him a warning. If he wants to save his life, he must leave quickly, and not delay any further.”

“Also, sir, Mr. Pei has asked me to do something,” Lin Qingyi added.

Jiang Bin waved his hand: “If you’ve agreed to it, then do it. There’s no need to tell me.”

As Jiang Bin had guessed, even as he was speaking with Lin Qingyi, the garrison’s troops had already been mobilized. The Metropolitan Commander of Xuanfu was personally leading a group of soldiers into Xuanfu City from outside the city. They only had one goal: to capture Pei Xuanjing.

Step, step…

A group of soldiers, led by the Metropolitan Commander, were rushing towards Pei Xuanjing’s location.

However, since he resided in a bustling area of Xuanfu City, even after the nearby civilians had been evacuated, these large numbers of soldiers were still having trouble reaching the area quickly.

At this time, the backup plan Jiang Bin had left behind was evident.

This could be considered his final aid to Pei Xuanjing.

“My lords, we must keep this beast occupied. The Metropolitan Commander is leading his troops here. Once they arrive, this beast will surely be sentenced to death!” Among the Brocade Guards, suddenly someone shouted at the four individuals engaged in battle.

Upon hearing these words, the four individuals on the field had varied expressions.

Wang Zhi, and the other two, wore delighted faces.

Pei Xuanjing, who was awaiting an opportunity to exploit the trio’s weaknesses, frowned. Even if he didn’t understand the hidden message was from Jiang Bin, he knew he could not continue to delay, or else he would definitely die today.

At the right opportunity, Pei Xuanjing intentionally revealed a small flaw, to lure the others.

As he awaited Bei Wenxuan’s strike, Pei Xuanjing didn’t dodge or avoid, instead, he bravely took the hit.

The Embroidered Spring Knife cut through the clothes across Pei Xuanjing?s chest, leaving a long wound on his body.

However, simultaneously, Pei Xuanjing’s Blood Qi erupted again. The Shenxiao Sword in his hand unexpectedly changed direction and pierced directly towards Bei Wenxuan.

With a soft “thump,” Bei Wenxuan suffered a sword through the chest.

Although Bei Wenxuan didn’t die thanks to the tremendous vitality of a First-grade martial artist, this blow inflicted a severe injury that greatly reduced his combat power.

Pei Xuanjing then took another step forward, his Shenxiao Sword once again came out, intending to kill Bei Wenxuan.

Wang Zhi and Ding Yulong on the side changed colors. They had been unable to keep Pei Xuanjing at bay even when the three of them teamed up. If he was truly allowed to kill Bei Wenxuan, both of them would be in danger.

Therefore, the two didn’t dare to hesitate even for a moment and did their best to stop Pei Xuanjing..
