Chapter 48: Chapter 47 Just Call Me Big Brother!

Translator: 549690339

The patriarch of the Liu family faced such circumstances, filled with both urgency and fury.

Pei Xuanjing seized the opportunity, changing the move of his Flowing Flame Sword.

Supreme As Water!

The final move of the Water-like Sword Technique was used.

The already powerful Water-like Sword Technique, now supplemented by the Thousand Refinement Divine Weapon Flame Sword, had its power multiplied several times over.

Pchht!

The patriarch of the Liu family couldn’t dodge in time and was injured by Pei Xuanjing.

Seeing all this, the fourth-grade Martial Artist under Gu Ji immediately dispersed the Liu family members in front of him and swung his long knife towards the patriarch of the Liu family.

Originally, the two were evenly matched. Now, with the patriarch of the Liu family injured and being attacked by two Martial Artists of the same realm, he was unable to resist.

He sustained more injuries in just a few moves.

Just as he managed to catch a breather with his desperate fighting style, he found himself livid at Pei Xuanjing’s actions.

“Cheng Xiong!”

Pei Xuanjing was temporarily repelled by the opponent’s desperate fighting style, yet he didn’t immediately press the attack. Instead, upon spotting Liu Chengxiong not far away, a murderous intent emerged in the corner of his mouth. He swung the Flowing Flame Sword, sending out the move Supreme As Water, going straight for Liu Chengxiong.

Faced with Pei Xuanjing’s thunderous attack, Liu Chengxiong was completely unable to defend. He was pierced through the chest with a single sword strike. Several of Gu Ji’S Martial Artists then rushed up to finish him off, hacking him to death.

Seeing Liu Chengxiong’s death, Pei Xuanjing felt a sense of relief washing over him.

Back at the beginning of his life simulation, Pei Xuanjing was repeatedly ambushed by the patriarch of the Liu family. The Liu family was almost an insurmountable chasm in his life simulation.

But now the patriarch of Liu family was incapable of withstanding his sword strike, and the entire Liu family was on the verge of destruction all because of him.

Indeed, what goes around comes around, the retribution was truly swift.

After killing Liu Chengxiong, Pei Xuanjing didn’t give the patriarch of the Liu family any chance to catch his breath. He once again raised his sword and rushed towards the patriarch of the Liu family.

Half a double hour later, all the people brought by Liu Chengxiong had been wiped out, and the divine weapon held by the patriarch of the Liu family had ended up in Pei Xuanjings hands.

Gu Ji’s subordinates were cleaning up the battlefield, while he himself was discussing some matters with Pei Xuanjing.

“If not for Mr. Pei today, our losses would have been disastrous,” Gu Ji said cordially, no longer holding onto the demeanor of the prefect.

A fourth-grade Martial Artist was enough for him to show respect, let alone a fourth-grade Martial Artist who was just over twenty years old and was almost certain to step into the Upper Three Realms in the future.

Pei Xuanjing smiled. “My lord, you’re too polite.”

“Don’t call me ‘my lord’ Gu Ji said magnanimously, “If you don’t mind, you can call me ‘big brother’.”

Pei Xuanjing didn’t hesitate. “Big brother Gu!”

“Brother Xuanjing.”

“Hahaha…”

The two exchanged looks and laughed.

After the laugh ended, Gu Ji took the initiative to speak. “Most of the Liu family’s masters are dead, leaving only one fourth-grade Martial Artist. Since the Liu family dared to set up an ambush to assassinate a court official, that’s the same as rebelling. Even the people behind them wouldn’t dare to cover for them. In the future power struggle of Anping Prefecture, the Liu family is bound to be removed from the list of factions.”

He asked inquiringly, “I wonder if brother Xuanjing would like to take over everything from the Liu family?”

As Pei Xuanjing had helped him so much, he naturally wanted to respond accordingly.

Pei Xuanjing declined, “I aim to wander the world for Martial Arts cultivation. I have no intention of staying here.”

Martial Artists need resources for their cultivation. Every successful cultivator would choose to join a faction, or establish their own power. Someone who wanders alone like Pei Xuanjing is a rare case.

However, Pei Xuanjing’s path is different from others’. He does need some resources, but what’s more important to him is to collect Cultivation Method Manuals to simulate life.

Establishing a power involves too much effort, and he doesn’t have anyone else who can help him manage it. For him, it’s actually detrimental.

“That’s true. You’re not in a rush.” Gu Ji nodded.

He wasn’t aware of Pei Xuanjing’s thoughts. He simply believed that the prestige of the Liu family was beneath someone as gifted as Pei Xuanjing, so he found Pei Xuanjing’s refusal to be quite reasonable.

“In that case, I’ll handle the assets of the Liu family. Be assured, Xuanjing, your share won’t be lacking,” Gu Ji assured him.

The assets of the Liu family were a considerable treasure, even for someone of his status as the prefecture governor.

But he knew very well that this wealth was not to be swallowed whole by himself. He would definitely give Pei Xuanjing a share, a sizable portion at that.

But in exchange for the friendship of a fourth -grade Martial Artist, who might even become a third-grade Martial Artist in the future, it was a trade very worthwhile to Gu Ji.

“Thank you very much, big brother Gu,” Pei Xuanjing replied with a smile.

Though he’s devoted to Martial Arts, he wasn’t the type to be an ascetic cultivator. With these earnings, he could support the resources needed for his daily cultivation.

There was no reason for him to reject this goodwill, given these things were what he rightfully deserved.

Gu Ji casually dismisses, “It’s a trifling matter. You don’t need to worry about these mundane things. All you need to do is wait.”

Pei Xuanjing nodded and then, seemingly accidently mentioned something after remembering those who had attacked him under Shen’s Business Association bounty in the Blessed Land, “Brother Gu, how come I noticed some of Shen’s Business Association’s people among this group?”

Gu Ji understood his hint immediately, his eyes brightening, “Indeed! If Shen’s Business Association dared to collude with the Liu family, they can’t be let off the hook either.”

Pei Xuanjing showed a satisfactory smile.

After the battlefield was cleared, they all headed for Anping City.

On the way, Gu Ji had already issued a document, commanding the elites from Six Gates and Thousands of Households to be mobilized.

After entering the city and regrouping, without any rest, they split into two routes, heading straight for the bases of Shen’s Business Association and the Liu family.

The other fourth-grade Martial Artist of the Liu family went to reinforce Liu Rui Long but returned without achieving anything.

He had just returned to the Liu family for a short while when he was cornered at home.

Faced with the siege of the elites from Six Gates and Thousands of Households, the fourth-grade Martial Artist of the Liu family was killed on the spot.

The same happened at Shen’s Business Association. Shen Mei, upon hearing the news from the Blessed Land, immediately had people pack up their belongings to escape but ran right into Pei Xuanjing and his crew, and was killed by them.

By this point, the Liu family and Shen’s Business Association, these two major powers that had been established in Anping Prefecture for almost a hundred years, had completely collapsed..
