Chapter 173 You Don't Have to Compete with Him
In July, Gu Ji was transferred to the Left Vice-Chief Censor of the Censorate and went to the Northwest Road to thoroughly investigate the recent riots in the Northwest Road. He had exclusive authority over all matters, and Jinyiwei and Liushanmen sent people to assist him.
In August, the Left Vice-Chief Censor Gu Ji summoned the major forces in the Northwest Road to the West Capital to inquire about the cause of the riots in the Northwest Road.
In September, the Left Vice-Chief Censor Gu Ji determined that the Vajra Gate was suspected of colluding with Maitreya Sect, and summoned people from the Vajra Gate to inquire. The Vajra Gate disciples refused, and the leader of the Vajra Gate avoided meeting.
On September 15, Gu Ji ordered that the Six Gates be the leader, and all the martial arts forces in the Northwest Road should unite to jointly eliminate the rebellious Vajra Gate to rectify the style of the martial arts world.
The head of the Longxi Li family, the head of the Iron Palm Sect, Tie Qianshan, and the masters of the Jinyiwei of the Six Gates jointly broke through the gate of the Vajra Gate and captured all the disciples under the sect. All those who resisted were killed without mercy.
The leader of the Vajra Sect practiced the Dragon Elephant Skill to the ninth level, and in an invincible manner, he led the elders and disciples to fight their way out of the siege and disappeared.
At this point, the Vajra Sect, which had a long history and dominated the Northwest Road for many years, was destroyed, and its original interests were divided up by various forces headed by the Longxi Li family and the Iron Palm Sect.
In a stronghold of the Maitreya Sect, Zhao Baiyang held a book. At this moment, he did not have any aura of the supreme master of the martial arts world, but was more like a gentle Confucian scholar.
The affairs of the Northwest Road were carefully planned by Zhao Baiyang for many years, but it seemed that this failure had no effect on him at all.
Since returning to the Northwest Road, Zhao Baiyang has been living in seclusion in this stronghold, never leaving the house, as if he didn't care about the affairs of the martial arts world at all.
"Master." Yu Yiyao stepped lightly on the lotus steps, walked into Zhao Baiyang's study, and spoke softly.
Zhao Baiyang finished reading the page in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "What's the matter?"
"I received news that the Vajra Sect was destroyed by the imperial court and several major forces in the northwest. The leader of the Vajra Sect and the elders and disciples fought their way out of the siege, but only one of the dozens of people survived. The leader of the Vajra Sect sent a message to us, wanting us to cover their tracks." Yu Yiyao asked softly.
The warriors of the Vajra Sect are good at physical training. Although there is only one first-grade warrior, the leader, the strength of the second-grade elders is not inferior to ordinary first-grade warriors.
Maitreya has been planning for many years in the northwest, so how could it miss the opportunity to win over the Vajra Sect.
It's just that the Vajra Sect has always been at the ends. Although it has always cooperated with Maitreya, it has never really broken off with the Ming court, for fear of causing destruction.
Therefore, even during the riot in the northwest not long ago, although the Vajra Sect took action, it was very cautious, and later when it saw that the situation was not good, it quickly withdrew.
But they didn't expect that their actions had been discovered by the forces with ulterior motives. When Gu Ji arrived at Northwest Road this time, someone exposed the matter.
After all, the Vajra Sect has been entrenched in Northwest Road for many years and has occupied a lot of interests. Their overbearing and tyrannical style has also offended many people.
Although Zhao Baiyang was somewhat dissatisfied with the previous behavior of the Vajra Sect, he was not without tolerance.
"You go to the Northwest Road in person to help them leave." Zhao Baiyang said.
No matter what those people in the Vajra Sect thought before, after this disaster, at least they have no place to stay. There is no other way except to follow the Maitreya Sect to the end.
"Yes, Master." Yu Yiyao nodded.
Seeing Yu Yiyao hesitated, Zhao Baiyang asked, "Is there anything else?"
Yu Yiyao saw her master asking, and after a moment's hesitation, she said, "I heard that the master of Shenxiao Sect seemed to be going to attack Pei Xuanjing, so I wanted to ask you."
"What do you want to ask me?"
"I want to ask you, Master, whether we should also attack together. After all, Pei Xuanjing and I have a lot of grievances, and he has ruined our business many times." Yu Yiyao said.
"No need." Zhao Baiyang rejected the proposal.
"Master, why?" Yu Yiyao's face changed slightly, he didn't understand.
The name of Pei Xuanjing almost made Yu Yiyao breathless.
As a saint of Maitreya Sect, she had a master who was ranked as the supreme master in the world. She should have been the most outstanding among the young generation of the world's martial arts world.
But Pei Xuanjing, although he was the same age as her, his strength was far superior to hers, and he had even reached the point where he could be compared with her master.
How could this not double her pressure?
In fact, it is not just Yu Yiyao, almost all the young people of the same generation as Pei Xuanjing in the martial arts world are like this.
Especially after Bai Xiaosheng's Hidden Dragon List was published, those young people who have not been on the Hidden Dragon List have set their sights on the 100 people on the list.
But those who are on the list, especially young masters like Yu Yiyao who are on the upper list, all know that there is a person who is not on the list, but will always be the first of the young generation.
As long as Pei Xuanjing is there, he will always suppress them.
"You don't have to compare with him." Zhao Baiyang smiled.
Zhao Baiyang admitted that his disciple was talented and might reach the same level as himself one day in the future.
However, this requires time to accumulate. Yu Yiyao is still too immature now. It is unknown how many years it will take to reach the peak of martial arts.
But Pei Xuanjing is different. Even for Zhao Baiyang, he will not treat Pei Xuanjing with the eyes of a junior.
Since the night when he and Pei Xuanjing had a test fight in the desert temple, Zhao Baiyang has placed his opponent on the same level as himself.
If Yu Yiyao needs time to grow to reach the peak of martial arts, then Pei Xuanjing is now at the peak of martial arts.
For Zhao Baiyang, Yu Yiyao is a junior who can only follow behind him.
But Pei Xuanjing is different. He can compete with him on the road of martial arts, his opponent, fellow Taoist, enemy, and friend.
Yu Yiyao's eyes flashed with unwillingness, and she wanted to prove it to her master.
Now she may not be as good as Pei Xuanjing, but one day she will tell her teacher that she is no worse than Pei Xuanjing.
Zhao Baiyang saw through his disciple's mind, but he just smiled and said nothing.
After all, everyone has a young time.
When I was young, didn't I also feel confident that I could break the shackles?
Pei Xuanjing didn't know that his existence had become a pressure for many young masters in the Ming Dynasty. His achievements made it difficult for these people to catch up. Many people gritted their teeth and tried their best to catch up.
But even if he knew, Pei Xuanjing would just smile and not take it to heart.
In Pei Xuanjing's eyes now, his opponents are only those supreme figures in the world. Only these people are enough to be his enemies and opponents.
