Chapter 115: Hammering into the Mountain Gate

"Who is this youth?" Pei Yuanqing looked extremely young, definitely no more than twenty years old.

But his strength, to those martial arts experts around, was at least innate first-class, and not an ordinary innate expert.

He could be mentioned in the same breath as those veteran innate martial arts masters.

"This youth seems to be Pei Yuanqing, the third son of General Pei Renji."

Pei Renji was currently guarding Luokou and was the Luokou Great General personally appointed by Yang Guang. Even after Yang Guang abdicated, he still stood firm in Luokou.

And for the past two years, he had been resisting the number one vanguard of Wagang.

Wagang had always wanted to attack the He Luo region, but Luokou, as the gateway to Luoyang, had never been breached.

It could be said that around Luoyang, Pei Renji's fame was quite large.

After Yang Guang abdicated, Wang Shichong had been constantly trying to win him over. After all, Pei Renji himself was a great general of the Sui Dynasty. In the current Sui Dynasty, famous generals were either dead or old. Pei Renji originally didn't count for much among the brilliant stars of generals.

But now it was different.

And Pei Yuanqing, as Pei Renji's third son, was also somewhat famous in the He Luo region, because this guy had been constantly challenging surrounding experts since he returned from learning martial arts.

It was no wonder that some martial artists recognized Pei Yuanqing.

"He is Pei Yuanqing?"

Upon hearing Pei Yuanqing's name, many martial arts experts were stunned, suddenly remembering this guy's arrogant aura over the past two years.

"Then could these people be General Pei's..."

"Impossible, right? Could it be that Pei Renji also dreams of possessing the Imperial Jade Seal, or is the Great Sui about to make a move against Jingnian Zen Temple?"

Someone smart suddenly exclaimed.

"Does the Great Sui still have this strength now? Aren't they afraid that the entire righteous path will rebel?"

Someone hesitated.

"Afraid of what? Cihang Jingzhai is about to re-select the co-lord of the world; they clearly don't take the Great Sui seriously. Does that mean the imperial court won't fight back?"

Someone who was unhappy with Cihang Jingzhai said excitedly upon seeing this group of fierce generals arrive.

"Shh! Keep your voice down. This is Jingnian Zen Temple. If you speak so loudly and want to find death, don't drag me down with you."

A companion saw this guy's big mouth, immediately covered his mouth, and warned him.

"Bald donkeys, daring to block my path. You really don't know your own strength."

Pei Yuanqing looked extremely arrogant, sitting on his warhorse, looking down at the fallen monks, and sneered.

"You..."

The leading martial monk, seeing this, was suddenly furious, which triggered the internal injuries in his body, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Boring!"

"Too weak. Is Jingnian Zen Temple, known as the number one Zen temple of the Buddhist sect, only capable of this?"

"Pei kid, these monks are clearly just gatekeepers. You're proud of defeating these few goods?"

Behind him, Kou Zhong couldn't stand Pei Yuanqing's arrogant appearance.

Ever since the Prefect brought this person back, the two of them seemed to not see eye to eye. They were about the same age.

Both were cultivating as battlefield martial generals. Pei Yuanqing had divine strength, while Kou Zhong was indeed the Lord of Destiny, learning martial arts extremely fast.

His martial arts realm was even above Pei Yuanqing's.

However, their strength was about the same, and it was difficult to distinguish a winner every time they sparred.

"Hmph! Kou kid, that's still better than you. At least I made a move. You must have mixed in the martial arts world before and are afraid of the name Jingnian Zen Temple, right?"

Pei Yuanqing also instantly retorted with mockery.

The two of them had been noisy all the way here, very lively.

"Pah! I'm afraid of Jingnian Zen Temple? When we go up the mountain later, I will directly challenge the Four Great Vajras of Jingnian Zen Temple. I heard they are all martial arts experts; that is worth me making a move."

Kou Zhong's unyielding personality would not admit defeat in words.

"Haha! Then let's see who defeats them first."

The arrogant appearance of the two made the martial monks of Jingnian Zen Temple even more annoyed. However, having been injured by a hammer, they had no ability to make another move.

They could only watch these people arrogantly riding their warhorses toward the mountain gate on the mountain.

"So arrogant! I wonder if this group of people are the Great Sui court's men?"

"No matter who they are, there's a good show to watch."

So a large group of martial arts people also slowly followed, and more and more people poured into the mountain gate of Jingnian Zen Temple.

Making the originally quiet mountain gate become extremely noisy.

"Chengji! Is the Imperial Jade Seal really in this Jingnian Zen Temple? How did these monks get the Imperial Jade Seal?"

Yuwen Chengdu was somewhat puzzled, looking at Su Fan beside him and asking.

"When Southern Chen was destroyed by Yang Guang, the Jade Seal fell into the hands of the Buddhist sect. The Buddhist sect had always been supporting Southern Chen."

"The Great Sui used to be backed by the Demonic Sect, but now the Demonic Sect has abandoned Yang Guang."

"Cihang Jingzhai or the Buddhist sect saw the chaos in the world and clearly wanted to use the Jade Seal to stir up trouble again. It's simply laughable."

"Is the Jade Seal of great use to our Yuwen Clan?" Yuwen Chengdu was just a martial general and didn't understand much about the world's situation.

"This Imperial Jade Seal is said to contain a kind of power. I want to comprehend it. As for the thing itself, it is actually a symbol of great righteousness."

"If the Yuwen Clan really wants to contend for the world, taking it can be considered icing on the cake. Otherwise, how could there be so many martial arts forces coming to Jingnian Zen Temple to fight for this Jade Seal, even at the cost of offending the Buddhist sect?"

The crowd gradually saw the mountain gate.

At the same time, Su Fan's divine sense had long perceived that there were people fighting within the mountain gate of Jingnian Zen Temple, and the power erupting was comparable to a Grandmaster.

"It seems Shi Zhixuan and Zhu Yuyan have both come."

Su Fan laughed secretly in his heart. This time, Cihang Jingzhai would definitely not get any benefits, especially since the Demonic Sect's strength had greatly increased.

Especially Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan, these two number one and number two experts of the demonic path, had almost reached the realm of Grandmaster.

The Buddhist sect had many Grandmaster experts, but they probably didn't have a top-tier Grandmaster. Of course, there might be two old immortals.

But they were likely existences who couldn't make a move.

For the Imperial Jade Seal, he didn't care about the Buddhist sect. Even if it were Shi Zhixuan and Zhu Yuyan, he would not hesitate to be their enemy.

Of course, if he could work with them, that would be the best.

Zhu Yuyan and the others probably didn't have a great need for the Jade Seal. Even Shi Zhixuan probably just wanted to test the power inside the Jade Seal.

But with his realm, he probably couldn't block the erosion of the Jade Seal's mysterious power.

Zhu Yuyan wanted the Jade Seal simply because holding it would allow her to occupy the moral high ground. Their Yin Kui Sect wanted to support warlords to contend for the world, just like supporting Yang Jian of the Great Sui.

They didn't care who became the final emperor; they only needed them to agree to the demands of their Yin Kui Sect or the Demonic Sect.

Of course, if the two sides really clashed, Su Fan would naturally not be afraid.

Now, his strength had reached the peak of this world. His physical blood and Qi had transformed into Gang, and his Gang Qi had condensed into form. He was now almost no weaker than a second-class martial general of the Three Kingdoms era.

His divine soul had transformed, and he had vaguely touched that special barrier of this world. As long as he broke that barrier, he could shatter the void.

Su Fan estimated that as long as he absorbed the mysterious power in the Jade Seal, it would be enough to shatter the void. ===== CHAPTER 116 =====
