Chapter 129 Holy Fire Order (please vote for me)
“Haha.” Faced with Pei Xuanjing’s attitude, Zhao Baiyang didn’t seem to be angry at all.
He was still smiling and cheerful. Said: "Brother Pei, why do you have to do this?"
Hearing him speak like this, even Yu Yiyao behind him couldn't help but look slightly sideways.
As my master, I can be said to be the only one in the church. No one can disobey each other's orders. Even the elders and the supreme elders are not allowed to disobey.
But today's master almost seemed to be a different person. She had almost never seen such a kind look.
Pei Xuanjing did not take action immediately. Zhao Baiyang was almost the most terrifying opponent he had ever encountered. Even now, he was not sure of victory.
So he slowly built up momentum while talking to the other party to delay time.
"Pei is curious, aren't you here because of me?" he said.
Zhao Baiyang shook his head: "I am here for them."
He pointed at the five burly men standing aside.
“These five people stole a valuable treasure from my Maitreya Sect, forcing me to take action myself.” Before Zhao Baiyang could finish his words, he heard those few people yelling at each other.
“Shameless!”
“Confusing right and wrong is really disgraceful.”
“Your Maitreya sect secretly attacked our sect and wanted to get the treasure, but you also confused right and wrong. It’s really disgusting. Shameless.”
Being blocked by Zhao Baiyang, the leader of Maitreya, they already knew that they could not escape today, so they no longer had any restraints and were not afraid of each other.
On the contrary, Zhao Baiyang did not refute the curses of several people. He flicked his sleeves and burst out with energy.
Poof!
The person who scolded him the most was actually hit directly and vomited blood.
“You”
"Do you think this leader is easy to talk to?" Zhao Baiyang said coldly.
The reason why he was kind to Pei Xuanjing was because his strength was worthy of his respect.
But these bereaved dogs are worthy of making noises in their ears.
Pei Xuanjing was unmoved by this, but still looked at the other party coldly.
When the leading man saw Zhao Baiyang's actions, the trace of luck in his heart disappeared without a trace.
A look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly turned to Pei Xuanjing and said, "Master Pei, we are the envoys of the five directions of the Holy Fire Sect. Today, we are being chased by these two people because they want to seize our sect's most important treasure, the Holy Fire Order. Today I am willing to offer this precious treasure as a gift to the real person, and ask the real person to save the five of us."
Seeing that there was no way to escape, this man directly revealed everything and wanted to use it. This is in exchange for a chance to survive.
"Holy Fire Cult, Holy Fire Order!" Pei Xuanjing heard the words and understood the origin of the other party.
The Holy Fire Sect can also be called Manichaeism, and another name is Mingjiao.
They also belong to the White Lotus Sect, and have integrated into the White Lotus Sect after countless years.
There are even rumors that the current Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was born in the Holy Fire Cult, but this rumor cannot be verified.
Pei Xuanjing has also heard a little about the Holy Fire Token mentioned by the opponent. This Holy Fire Token is made of meteorite iron and platinum black iron. , a total of six pieces, different sizes, seemingly transparent, non-transparent, with faint flames flying in the middle and changing colors.
The most important thing is that these Holy Fire Tokens are also engraved with the peerless martial arts of the Holy Fire Cult, which are extremely valuable and can be said to be the supreme treasure.
The envoys of the five directions that they call themselves are the five directions in the Holy Fire Sect: southeast, northwest, and middle. They belong to the upper echelons of the Holy Fire Sect.
Pei Xuanjing had long known that various branches of the White Lotus Sect were in conflict with each other and had their own disputes, but he did not expect that he would encounter them.
"Are you looking for death?" Yu Yiyao's eyes flashed coldly. She never expected that these people would be like this. They had been hunted by her for months and refused to hand over the Holy Fire Token. Now, in order to save their lives, they were willing to hand it over to Pei Xuanjing rather than to them.
"Haha!" The envoys from the five directions looked at each other with a sneer.
The people of the Maitreya Cult are cruel and ruthless, and they do not believe that the other party will let them go easily.
Instead of believing in them, it is better to take a gamble. At least Pei Xuanjing's reputation is much better than that of their Maitreya Cult.
"Brother Pei, are you going to be deceived by these people?" Zhao Baiyang's expression changed slightly,
Everyone knew what these people were thinking, and he didn't believe that the other party would be fooled so easily.
“I think this deal is good.” A smile appeared on Pei Xuanjing’s face.
He is also very curious about treasures like the Holy Fire Token. Not to mention other things, the martial arts depicted on it must be able to bring him a lot of Taoist value.
Of course he can clearly see the provocative intentions of these five envoys, but so what.
He already had a lot of hatred against the Maitreya Cult, and he was not far behind from this debt.
What's more, with Zhao Baiyang appearing here today, a fight between the two sides is inevitable. If you can have the opportunity to cause trouble for the other party, why not do it.
"Brother Pei, this is an internal matter of our White Lotus Sect. Do you really want to get involved?" Zhao Baiyang's face was slightly cold, and his words were threatening.
He is right, there is internal strife within the White Lotus Sect, but if a treasure like the Holy Fire Token falls into the hands of the other party, I am afraid that other lines will also take action.
“If I don’t intervene, won’t the Maitreya Cult deal with me?” Pei Xuanjing sneered.
Many masters of the Maitreya Cult died in his hands, but he did not believe that the other party would let go easily.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Baiyang said: "As long as Brother Pei retreats today, the past things will be forgotten. You will no longer have anything to do with our Maitreya Sect."
"Huh?" Pei Xuanjing was a little surprised.
Just listen to Zhao Baiyang continue: "Don't you think Brother Pei can't trust me?"
He is telling the truth. He has been practicing seclusion for a long time this year, and the deputy leader Xingqiu has actually been treating him. He was dissatisfied for a long time if he was willing to give in and go against his will.
It can be said that Pei Xuanjing killed the opponent to indirectly help him eliminate his dissidents, so he did not take direct action today.
“I don’t believe it!” Pei Xuanjing shook his head.
Seeing Pei Xuanjing like this, Zhao Baiyang's expression also darkened. He was the overlord of one party after all, and his gesture just now was enough to give the other party face. Since the other party was so ignorant, he would not continue.
He said: "Zhao has also heard a little bit about Brother Pei's sword-drawing skills. It seems that he will have a good experience today."
Pei Xuanjing smiled: "I'm looking forward to it too. The leader’s clever move.”
After waiting for the momentum to be gathered, Pei Xuanjing said again: "If you can take this sword, then everything will be easy!"
"Okay!" Zhao Baiyang agreed, and he said to Yu Yiyao: "Stay away."
Yu Yiyao nodded and walked away silently.
The rest of the people, with little need to be reminded, all retreated silently.
Clang!
The sword light flickered, and the Shenxiao Sword in Pei Xuanjing's hand was unsheathed. The endless sword intent gathered together and headed straight for Zhao Baiyang.
