Translator: 549690339

Until now, leaving the other martial artists aside, the deaths of a first-grade martial artist such as the southern ghost emperor and three second-class martial artists like Black and White Impermanence and the King of Equality alone have caused a heavy loss for the netherworld, losing several of their top tier powers.

More importantly, Everlasting Observance, the netherworld’s stronghold that has been operating in Tiandu for a long time, has also been completely uprooted. That is a significant loss.

All these have affected the netherworld’s reputation as news about them spread.

For any assassin organization, once doubts arise about their ability to complete tasks, their business naturally suffers, and this loss of benefits is what matters most.

That’s why the southern ghost emperor was determined to kill Pei Xuanjing and restore their reputation. This was something they could not tolerate.

Every day that Pei Xuanjing exists is a challenge to the netherworld’s capabilities, causing them constant loss.

If initially, their enmity arose due to third-party instigation, now, it had become a personal vendetta, a struggle over interests, nearly impossible to resolve.

Qian Ning did not hide anything, a smile appeared on his face, he said, “I made a discovery while looking into the files of Pei Xuanjing.”

“Oh? What did you find?” King Chujiang perked up. They had information about Pei Xuanjing too but nothing particularly significant. Could there be some hidden secret?

The smile on Qian Ning’s face broadened: “Pei Xuanjing comes from a small city in a border county, from a power called Everlasting Observance. I sent someone to investigate, and found that this Everlasting Observance is not simple, it is a branch of the Shenxiao Sect from the past.”

“A remnant of the Shenxiao Sect! ” King Chujiang was stunned at first, but then he broke into a joyful smile. “Commander, you are indeed wise, I admire you greatly.”

He never thought that Qian Ning could investigate Pei Xuanjing’s background so thoroughly and yield such results.

No matter how formidable Pei Xuanjing is, if he has any connection with the words Shenxiao Sect, then that will certainly stir up fear in many people.

It could be said that once this news is spread, he is as good as dead.

Whether it’S the martial artists’ world or the imperial court, neither could possibly tolerate him!

“What! What did you just say!” Jiang Bin suddenly changed color, his gaze coldly turned to Lin Qingyi.

There was a storm of anger in his eyes. “How dare you inform me of such news so late in the game, what were you doing earlier! ”

Lin Qingyi had a wronged look on his face: “I just found out about this, so I immediately came to report to you.”

To be honest, he was also taken aback when he first received this news; he would never have

imagined that Pei Xuanjing was a descendant of the Shenxiao Sect.

“Now I understand why he named that sword Shenxiao.” Lin Qingyi thought.

At this moment, he began to suspect that Pei Xuanjing’s appearance in Tiandu had a hidden agenda, otherwise everything wouldn’t be such a coincidence.

Jiang Bin did not Imow what Lin Qingyi was thinking, he said, “Fine, go to his residence immediately and make him leave, never to be seen again.”

He ordered Lin Qingyi.

In Jiang Bin’S view, this was his being kind to Pei Xuanjing to the utmost. Given the truth about his background was as Lin Qingyi said, his current actions came with great risk.

“Yes, sir.” Lin Qingyi nodded solemnly.

Then, giving no delay, Lin Qingyi left Jiang Bin’s mansion and headed straight for Pei Xuanjing’s residence.

“You want me to leave here and never show up again, why?” Pei Xuanjing was astonished.

He didn’t quite understand why Lin Qingyi had left only to return shortly, or why he suddenly urged him to leave, saying that it was Jiang Bin’s idea.

“Pei, you mustn’t do this. The commander sent someone to your hometown and has found out everything about you. You can’t hide it anymore. It’S best to leave before everything is exposed!” Lin Qingyi desperately implored.

It’s worth mentioning that even if they initially met due to vested interests, Lin Qingyi owed Pei Xuanjing for his various favors. Now that Pei Xuanjing’s identity was compromised, Lin Qingyi naturally wanted to persuade him to leave.

He knew Pei Xuanjing’s power was great. His ability to kill a first-grade martial artist as a second-grade martial artist was enough to deter many people.

But the problem now wasn’t about that, but rather that Pei Xuanjing’s identity was sensitive and already compromised, so he couldn’t stay anymore.

Pei Xuanjing paused, his confusion deepened: “What can’t I hide? What do I need to hide?”

Seeing Pei Xuanjing still playing dumb, Lin Qingyi was somewhat dissatisfied.

I treated him sincerely, but does Pei Xuanjing still not trust me? Does he still want to hide it from me?

He said a little irritably: “Pei, you did come from a small city in the border county that houses a certain power called Everlasting Observance, did you not?”

As for Lin Qingyi knowing his background, Pei Xuanjing was not at all surprised. He nodded: “Yes, what’s wrong with that?”

Seeing the irritation on Lin Qingyi’s face, he asked: “Who founded Everlasting Observance? What was his original background? Surely, you must know?”

Hmm?

Pei Xuanjing was taken back, recalling the news he had received from the simulation earlier. His origin, the Everlasting Observance, seemed to be inherited from the former major power, the Shenxiao Sect.

Seeing that Pei Xuanjing wasn’t talking and the puzzled look on his face seemed genuine, Lin Qingyi was confused.

Could it be that Pei Xuanjing really didn’t know why the Shenxiao Sect was destroyed back then? He couldn’t help but ask out loud: “Pei, have you ever heard of the Shenxiao Sect?”

Pei Xuanjing nodded, and Lin Qingyi continued to ask: “Pei, do you know why the once invincible Shenxiao Sect suddenly vanished, becoming obscure in the martial world?”

Hearing Lin Qingyi’s questioning, and in conjunction with the implications of what he’d said earlier, Pei Xuanjings expression changed slightly, as if he seemed to understand something.

“I am not certain,” he shook his head, then asked, “Are you implying that the collapse of the Shenxiao Sect was due to intervention from the imperial court?”

“Correct!” Lin Qingyi nodded, “And not just that, it could be said that the Shenxiao Sect’s downfall was in fact due to them crossing the imperial court’s bounds, thus incurring a strike of thunder. Led by the imperial court, various other powers joined forces to destroy the then mighty Shenxiao Sect.”

And it was because he accidentally found out that Commander Qian Ning had collected intelligence stating that Pei Xuanjing’s place of origin, the Everlasting Observance, was a lineage of the Shenxiao Sect, that he panicked!

The Shenxiao Sect suffered its downfall due to transgressions against the imperial court’s taboos.

Even to this day, the name Shenxiao Sect and its legacy still remain a taboo that the Great Ming imperial court does not mention.

If this news were leaked, Pei Xuanjing would undoubtedly become the object of the emperor’s suspicion and the imperial court’s suppression..
