The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 28 – Aftermath and Second Simulation

Chapter 28: Chapter 27: Aftermath and Second Simulation

In one night, the second in command of the Liu family, Liu Chengshi, was killed, and the third manager of Shen’s Business Association, Shen Xiang, was also murdered. At the same time, a fifth-rank martial artist from each family and several sixth-rank martial artists died too. For both families, these deaths were undeniably significant losses.

Therefore, when the news came out, the whole Anping Prefecture was instantly engulfed in shock and speculation. Everyone was curious about who had the audacity and capability to carry out such an act.

What was unexpected, however, was that after such a serious incident, the patriarch of the Liu family only met secretly once with Shen Mei, the head of Shen’s Business Association. Although they placed a bounty on finding out the truth, anyone with clear eyes could see that both families were strangely handling this matter.

Following reason, such a significant event happened. The Liu family and Shen’s Business Association, with their power, should have turned Anping Prefecture upside down to find the murderer. Still, their actions seemed too mild, almost as if they were trying to cover something up. This made some onlookers act with extra caution, in case these families were plotting something.

Some clever individuals found a clue in all this—the young prodigy Pei Xuanjing, who had challenged Liu Ruilong not long ago, was a crucial player in this incident.

The gathering of these two powerful families that day seemed to be sparked by the Liu family’s intention to negotiate with Pei Xuanjing. However, after such a significant event occurred, Pei Xuanjing seemed to have disappeared, leaving no trace, appearing as though even the Liu and Shen families were hiding his existence.

In the government office, Pei Xuanjing heard about the rumor spreading within the city and merely smiled, not expressing much of an opinion.

Only after the messenger had left did he coldly state, “Although the three great forces are powerful, this Anping Prefecture ultimately belongs to the Great Ming. Only the Prefecture lord, representing the government, has the final say.”

The rise of the Liu family in recent years had been smooth, but their actions undoubtedly undermined the authority of the government. That’s why, when Pei Xuanjing came to see Prefecture lord Gu Ji, the latter didn’t mind teaching the Liu family a small lesson, reminding them who is in charge of Anping Prefecture.

Did the Liu family and Shen’s Business Association guess that the ultimate intervention was from the Prefecture lord?

They’d have to be fools not to guess it, but what can they do? Faced with the dominant Prefecture lord, they had to tuck their tails between their legs, secretly swallow this bitter pill, and act as if nothing had happened.

Pei Xuanjing couldn’t care less about the future development of this matter. Regardless of how the Prefecture lord acted, he didn’t care, as he had already gained a lot from this incident and didn’t need to be involved further. Moreover, he wasn’t sure that he could come out unscathed after getting involved.

Therefore, he quietly immersed himself in studying martial arts and reading notes in the backyard of the government office, focusing on refining the Taoyun.

Needless to say, the resources controlled by the Prefecture lord surpassed others. Although most of them were only low-grade martial arts, with only a few medium -grade martial arts, there was no shortage of accumulated Taoyun.

Half a year passed in a flash. During this time, the value of Taoyun accumulated by Pei Xuanjing exceeded his estimation.

Even after his strength broke through to the fifth-rank martial artist realm, the value of Taoyun consumed by the life simulator increased to 5,000 points.

During this half year, he accumulated up to 28,402 points of Taoyun. Without a breakthrough in realm, it could support him to simulate life four times consecutively.

[Taoyun: 28,402 points.]

[Would you use the life simulator? One use consumes 5,000 Taoyun.]

This time, Pei Xuanjing boldly chose ‘Yes.’

[Fifty paths to Great Tao, Thirty-Nine Heavenly Paths, one escapes! Therefore, all things in the world have a trace of vitality!]

Twenty years old: The Forbidden Place opens, and you are invited by the Prefecture lord to enter. As soon as you enter the Forbidden Place, you are ambushed by a joint attack from the Liu family and Shen’s Business Association. As a fifth-rank martial artist, you have the highest combat power in the Forbidden Place. Eventually, you kill all the experts dispatched by the Liu family and Shen’s Business Association, then participate in competing for the treasures.

You manage to snatch the treasure after much hardship, but before you can escape, you are surrounded by others who are coveting the treasure.

Facing the siege of so many people, with your strength as a fifth-rank martial artist and the Prefecture lord’s help, you escape the blockade, seize the treasure, and successfully leave the Forbidden Place.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the Forbidden Place and reaching the agreed rendezvous point, you and the Prefecture lord’s people had just gathered when you encountered an ambush by the Liu family and Shen’s Business Association.

The patriarch of the Liu family and Shen Mei, the head of Shen’s Business Association, personally led the teams. They brought along an elder from the Liu family who was a fourth -grade martial artist. Faced with such a powerful enemy, you killed the patriarch of the Liu family, and after joining hands with the high-rank personnel sent by the Prefecture lord, repulsed the Liu family elder. The two of you quickly escaped into Anping City to meet with the Prefecture lord.

The Prefecture lord wanted to use the rebellion of the Liu family and the Shen’s Business Association as an excuse to gather the Thousands of Households to suppress these two forces, but it ended in vain. However, they were required to pay a huge compensation.

Twenty-one years old: The Prefecture lord offered the treasures to a high official in the court and got the chance of promotion. Then he invited you to go to the West Capital with him as his guest, and he promised to provide resources for your cultivation. You happily agreed.

Twenty-two years old: With the help of the Prefecture lord, you obtained the rest of the “Water Swordsmanship,” finally mastering a complete set of medium-grade martial arts.

Twenty-five years old: You mastered the “Water Swordsmanship” to an integrated level.

Half a month later, under the host of the provincial governor, the Northwest Dao held a martial arts convention. You made your way through the rounds and became one of the top ten contestants, making a name for yourself in the Northwest Dao.

However, in the first match after entering the top ten, you encountered a true prodigy, a twenty-year-old fifth-rank martial artist, the direct disciple of the Tie Sect. You lost regretfully but were not discouraged.

Twenty-eight years old: The Northwest Dao experienced a rebellion, and the Prefecture lord was ordered to lead troops to suppress it. You, as a guest of the Prefecture lord, followed him.

In the early stages of suppressing the rebellion, your forces were unstoppable. However, this drew out the true culprits behind the rebellion, who sent experts to carry out a beheading strategy. You fought to protect Gu Ji and were killed on the spot.

[This life has ended.]

‘Even with mastery of a middle-grade martial arts sword technique, I still couldn’t beat the prodigy from the Tie Sect?’ Pei Xuanjing was slightly dumbfounded. He thought that he was already very strong, but he hadn’t expected that compared to these direct disciples of the large sects, he still couldn’t win..
