Chapter 235: Chapter 198: Strike with Rage! The Leader of the Sky Demon Sect! (5.2K Big Chapter)—3

In the nearly six hundred years since the founding of the Great Ming, practitioners of the Demonic Way had always been low-key, seldom seen in the realm of martial arts.

No one saw it coming that Zhao Baiyang managed to invite the leader of the Sky Demon Sect out of his seclusion to partake in his plan.

To think that the leader of the Sky Demon Sect had been considered the strongest in the Demonic Way in the past six hundred years, boasting talents comparable to the original Demonic Cult’s leader, and potentially the most likely candidate to unite the disparate branches of the Demonic Way and rise as the leader of the Demonic Cult once again.

Having abandoned his duties in the Demonic Cult for the moment, could it mean that he had suppressed the individuals within the Demonic Way and was preparing to announce to the world that the Demonic Cult was making a comeback in the realm of martial arts?

Regardless, just his presence here today shows how much effort Zhao Baiyang has put into this plan.

Zhao Baiyang himself, the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, and the Sky Demon Sect’s leader Xue Wuheng, these three individuals are all supreme powerhouses atop the Supreme List, each capable of causing significant disruptions in the martial world with simple actions.

The influence caused by the gathering of these three, even the True Martial Sect who are currently seen as the most powerful force in the realm of martial arts, would not dare to take lightly.

“I’m afraid you won’t have a chance to meet him.” The Ghost Emperor of Fengdu’s voice echoed inappropriately.

“Oh?” Xue Wuheng raised an eyebrow, only to hear the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu coldly say: “Because this time, I will personally take action to kill him in Tiandu!”

“Hehe.” Sky Demon Sect’s leader Xue Wuheng gave a faint smile, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Zhao Baiyang did the same with a smile.

“Hehe!” The Ghost Emperor of Fengdu saw the reactions of the two and was furious inside, but chose not to vent his anger, only responding with a cold snort.

At the same time, his hatred for Pei Xuanjing intensified – were it not for him, he would not be made fun of by these two.

Flap…

A messenger eagle flew past in the sky, attracting the attention of everyone present.

However, none of the three supreme individuals reacted. Yu Yiyao reached out her hand and grasped the messenger eagle with her True Qi, bringing it into her palm.

She took a bamboo tube the thickness of a thumb from the eagle’s leg and set the messenger eagle free. She then took out the message from the bamboo tube and unfolded it.

“Pei has ascended Justice Hall…” Yu Yiyao quickly read the message aloud.

Then she turned to Zhao Baiyang and said: “Master, Pei Xuanjing has ascended Justice Hall. He alone was able to easily defeat the nine first-grade masters including the Master of Justice Hall, Ma Wuji.”

“As expected.” Zhao Baiyang didn’t seem surprised by this result, he nodded and asked: “What about Lawlessness, was he there?”

The fact that Pei Xuanjing could easily defeat Ma Wuji came as no surprise to Zhao Baiyang. Having fought against him before, he knew exactly how powerful Pei Xuanjing was.

What he cared more about was whether his source of information was correct.

Had the head of the Six Gates already been drawn out by the news of Pei Xuanjing’s appearance to personally come to Justice Hall to arrest the offender?

If Lawlessness didn’t show up, it meant his plan had been unsuccessful.

Indeed, even though Ma Wuji and others had thought to invite the people from Six Gates, the motivation behind this thought was partly facilitated by Zhao Baiyang.

Upon confirming that Pei Xuanjing would go to Justice Hall, he began to plot behind the scenes to attract Lawlessness away from Tiandu.

As for the head of the Six Gates whose strength was unfathomable, even Zhao Baiyang was unclear about his capabilities. He had been renowned longer than Zhao himself.

By the time Zhao Baiyang rose to power, Lawlessness had already assumed the position of head of the Six Gates, serving in that capacity ever since and rarely leaving.

According to the information in Zhao Baiyang•s possession, Lawlessness’s strength was, if anything, stronger than theirs. He thought, if it was not for the imperial court rules, Lawlessness would definitely qualify to be on the Supreme List.

In their plan to execute the dragon in Tiandu, Lawlessness was one of the biggest obstacles. This time, if they could divert him from Tiandu by hoodwinking him, it would greatly alleviate the hindrance to their plan.

“Hehe, thank you very much this time, Brother Pei.” Zhao Baiyang thought to himself.

He soon put this idea aside and instructed Yu Yiyao: “Now, issue a command to all of our people to begin to converge on the Imperial City. In two hours, they should break into the Imperial City and kill the emperor.”

“Yes!” Yu Yiyao was about to leave the scene upon receiving the order.

‘Wait!”

As she was about to leave, she was halted by the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, who looked at Zhao Baiyang with scepticism and asked: “Now it’s noon, and we’ll take action in two hours. Shouldn’t we wait until nightfall?”

As the saying goes, the highest winds blow on the darkest nights, which are perfect for committing illicit acts.

Underworld assassins often choose to act at night, as daylight makes it hard to conceal one’s identity and would easily attract attention from others.

“Hehe.” Zhao Baiyang chuckled lightly and asked: “Considering the current situation, do you think we have a chance to get close to the Imperial City tonight?”

He thought that perhaps the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu’s prolonged seclusion had caused rust in his thinking.

This was Tiandu, the core capital area of the Great Ming Empire.

At nightfall, all streets within several miles of the Imperial City would be under curfew. Except for patrol soldiers in groups, no common people were allowed to approach.

Any curfew violators approaching the Imperial City would be executed on the spot if they didn’t heed the warning.

So, they could only take advantage of daylight, when their people could mingle with the commoners and approach the Imperial City.

If they were to wait until nightfall, they would need to confront innumerable soldiers directly, charging in under a shower of arrows, inevitably resulting in heavy losses.

“Uh…” The Ghost Emperor of Fengdu was taken aback after hearing Zhao Baiyang’s explanation.

Obviously, he hadn’t considered that. He wasn’t afraid of a shower of arrows, but his subordinates might not be able to withstand it.

“Hehe, in that case, let’s command our forces to get ready!” Xue Wuheng, the leader of the Sky Demon Sect, intervened to ease the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu’s embarrassment.

Although he had been thinking the same way just now, he hadn’t actually voiced it out and thus had managed to save face.

At this critical moment of implementing the plan, Zhao Baiyang naturally would not intentionally face off against the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu. He thought for a moment, and said to Yu Yiyao: “Order everyone to get ready to approach the Imperial City. Wait for the soldiers to change shifts and wait for an hour after they have left their posts before acting on my command.”

They just needed to wait for the soldiers to change shifts and return to the large camp in the suburbs of the city. It would take a considerable amount of time for those soldiers to return once they had launched their attack.

“Yes!” Yu Yiyao left to carry out the order..
