    Trantor: 549690339


    In the next half month, many sides fiercelypeted, arguing vehemently without breaking the alliance. They used every possible strategy, making alliances and forging connections.


    Even the slick Yu Zhenzi couldn’t help feeling utterly exhausted after such an intense half month.<div>


    Regardless, Yu Zhenzi had no regrets about his efforts. After all, even a minuscule concession in such a profitable matter could greatly affect future earnings.


    “You’ve worked hard this time,” Pei Xuanjing praised Yu Zhenzi.


    “It’S my duty. There’s no need for such praises,” Yu Zhenzi shook his head, not considering his deeds of merit.


    Pei Xuanjing chuckled and remembered Yu Zhenzi’s merits, nning to reward himter, then continued listening to Yu Zhenzi’s report.


    After half a month, the six sides finally settled all matters, with everyone fairly satisfied. At least none felt they were at a loss.


    While deciding on the allocation, each side also re-plotted their original ns, covering possible loopholes and making contingency ns.


    Each of the six parties allocated their respective duties and agreed on methods ofmunication, ready to respond at any time if needed.


    At this point, most of their people had left Dragon Tiger Mountain. Apart from Yu Zhenzi and Pang Hong still here waiting for Pei Xuanjing, the others of the Shenxiao Sect had already started preparing under the leadership of Deng Zhong and others.


    Pei Xuanjing nodded in satisfaction, appreciative of Yu Zhenzi’s arrangements. He was pleased that Yu Zhenzi managed everything without needing his direct involvement.


    Yu Zhenzi said, “There’s still one thing that requires your personal decision.”


    Pei Xuanjing asked, “What is it?”n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om<div>


    He was puzzled but heard Yu Zhenzi say, “Given your current prestige, the Shenxiao Sect should be officially established. Without it, weck legitimacy.”


    Although Pei Xuanjing and his group have been operating under the name of the Shenxiao Sect, nobody has questioned it.


    However, after all, the Shenxiao Sect had been extinguished for over two hundred years. To truly re-establish itself in the martial world, it was not enough for Pei Xuanjing to simply exhibit personal strength and influence.


    He must follow some procedures to dere to the world that the Shenxiao Sect is reinstated. Only then will it be officially recognized.


    Not just the other forces, even Yu Zhenzi shared this view.


    Pei Xuanjing pondered a moment, then shook his head, “The time is not right.”


    Regarding the idea of re-establishing the Shenxiao Sect’s main gate, he had indeed considered it.


    At first, Pei Xuanjing thought he could reinstate the Shenxiao Sect after the battle at Dragon Tiger Mountain and announce it to the world.


    However, not long ago, especially after Gathering his Soul, his view suddenly changed.


    Looking at the confused Yu Zhenzi and Pang Hong, Pei Xuanjing calmly said, “The fallen Shenxiao


    Sect was after all, just a Martial Arts School. Since it’s gone, let it be!”<div>


    “The Shenxiao Sect I want to rebuild will be the world’s first immortal sect.”


    The first immortal sect in the world!


    Boom!


    That sentence exploded like thunder in their ears.


    The two were shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief as they looked at Pei Xuanjing.


    “Master, could you possibly have discovered the method of ascension?”


    “Teacher, could it be…”


    Pei Xuanjing nodded without denial, “Yes, while I haven’t broken through yet, I have realized the method. Given some time, I should be able to fullyprehend it.”


    Seeing their surprised and excited faces, Pei Xuanjing privately added in his heart: Perhaps just another simtion, and I will be able to break into the Spirit Realm.


    This was also why he temporarily dropped the idea of rebuilding the Shenxiao Sect.


    He didn’t want to re-establish the old Shenxiao Sect but wanted to create his own Shenxiao Immortal Gate.<div>


    Yu Zhenzi and Pang Hong wanted to ask more, but Pei Xuanjing declined further discussion.


    Nevertheless, they were stunned and exhrated by Pei Xuanjing’s grand vision, feeling honored to be a part of it.


    Perhaps, I, Yu Zhenzi, might one day ascend.


    Yu Zhenzi harbored this daring thought in his heart.


    He forcibly suppressed his thoughts and continued narrating recent events.


    “So up until now, a new king hasn’t been decided upon?” On hearing Yu Zhenzi mention the session, Pei Xuanjing frowned slightly.


    Based on his previous life simtions, the determination of the new king did not seem to be this hesitant.


    Or had he missed something?


    Pei Xuanjing was slightly unsure and asked, “What does Bai Xiaosheng say?”


    The information he had was limited. Perhaps Bai Xiaosheng in the capital city would have a clearer idea.


    Yu Zhenzi answered, “ording to the news from Bai Xiaosheng, the candidate may already have been chosen, but some reasons keep it from being leaked.”


    Upon hearing this analysis, an understanding light flickered within Pei Xuanjing’s eyes. He thought about his several experiences in life simtions and became certain.


    Just as Bai Xiaosheng suggested, perhaps the choice of the sessor had already been made. Even if it was notpletely finalized, there were probably some candidates.


    The reason for not revealing it was likely because the candidates were not currently in the capital city. Revealing the information would attract potential assassins.


    Royal blood is thin, and the examples of fathers and sons killing each other and brothers turning on each other for the supreme position are numerous throughout history. Any method is usible for that position.


    Those who know about his life simtions would know that King Xing had encountered many assassins on his way from the fiefdom to the capital city. Even Pei Xuanjing himself had died several times in life simtions due to these assassinations.


    If this was truly the case, it could exin why the Great Ming imperial court was following such a procedure.


    He asked Yu Zhenzi, “Did anyone from the royal family rush back to the capital recently?”


    Yu Zhenzi pondered, “With the emperor’s death, ording to the protocol, even if the vassal kings from all regions could not personally go to the capital, they should at least send their heirs to pay respects. So, quite a few members of the royal family have rushed back to the capital.”


    Upon saying this, he also realized Pei Xuanjing’s intention, adding: “You mean, the sessor may be among these people.”


    “Exactly,” Pei Xuanjing nodded, realizing his own query was a bit one-sided. He pondered briefly and said, “You send people to investigate, find out which vassal kings or heirs who’ve returned to the capital recently are closest in kinship to the emperor, and give me a list.”


    The emperor’s choice would always favor the closest bloodline.


    Once there’s a spection, it would be easy to find the right person from it. It would just take some effort.


    Yu Zhenzi nodded and said, “Alright!”
