"To shape a new order in the Jianghu? Wei Chen, you are being a bit too naive. The state of the Central Domain is not just the result of a year or two, but rather the inevitable outcome of brutal competition over tens of thousands of years. It's a world where the weak are preyed upon by the strong; do you still not understand that? In such a situation, your goals seem somewhat laughable. This isn't something you can achieve just because of your own strength; it requires the effort of the entire Central Domain."
Ji Mei poured cold water on Wei Chen's ambitions without a care, and he simply smiled lightly in response. "Without effort, who knows what the final outcome will be?"
"You certainly have confidence," Ji Mei chuckled softly.
"It's not confidence; it's belief. As long as there is belief in whatever we do, that's enough. Whether it can be accomplished depends on human effort; why worry about so much?" Wei Chen replied with a smile.
"Planning relies on people, but success also relies on people, right?" Gu Yuehong looked at Wei Chen, her gaze filled with meaning.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect our rough-and-tumble friend to speak such philosophical words! You're right; planning relies on people, but who knows how things will turn out? Regardless, as long as we put in the effort, that's what matters. Since the Central Domain is like this, it desperately needs change. At this moment, we happen to appear; perhaps this is fate? The Jiaoleimen have gone too far; we Peach Blossom Sect need to raise our banner and take action against them."
Wei Chen's expression remained calm as he scanned the crowd around him. Among those present were indeed some formidable individuals, but in reality, they had long become numb and only cared about their own interests, too afraid to challenge the power of Jiaoleimen.
Such situations were common in the Central Domain; everyone only swept their own doorstep clean while ignoring the frost on others' roofs.
But it was precisely because of this that it fostered the evil atmosphere among those Major Forces, leading to an unresolvable vicious cycle.
Wei Chen understood deeply that the path he had chosen was long and arduous. However, as long as he took steady steps forward, even if the final outcome was not particularly beautiful, wouldn't even a slight change be considered a victory?
For instance, right now, within Maguan City, the deployment of Jiaoleimen had already been significantly weakened. With Gu Yuehong around, no matter how many people Jiaoleimen sent, it would be futile. At the very least, by eliminating Jiaoleimen within their territory, a breath of fresh air could exist.
Wei Chen, Gu Yuehong, and Ji Mei walked along the central avenue without encountering anyone trying to stop them.
It wasn't until they reached outside the city lord's mansion that they saw the eager and ready warriors of Maguan City.
City Lord Ma Tao stood with several Peak Experts from Surge Realm and over a dozen mid-level Surge Realm experts. Their fiery gazes were fixed on Wei Chen, Gu Yuehong, and Ji Mei.
"The three powerful ones," Ma Tao began. "Maguan City has no grievances with you; why resort to such lethal measures?"
Ma Tao's eyes flashed with a chilling light as he looked at Wei Chen, Gu Yuehong, and Ji Mei, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Hmph, no grievances or grudges? I have to ask, why did those damned ruffians make my friend remove the Veil when we were just entering the city? What kind of rule is that? You Jiaoleimen are too arrogant! Do you really think that those ruffians can do whatever they want on Jiaoleimen's territory? Is that considered a rule?"
Wei Chen sneered at Ma Tao and replied, "I’m here to tell you that not everyone is someone you can afford to offend!"
"Brother, may I ask which faction you belong to? We are all in Blackwater Territory, under the Blackwater Sect. Let’s not flood the Dragon King Temple and fight among ourselves!"
Seeing Wei Chen's extraordinary demeanor, Ma Tao, the lord of Maguan City, felt a twinge of unease. Could he be one of the Young Talents from a Major Force? Ordinary factions and families could never cultivate such a young powerhouse with this kind of presence.
The strong individuals standing beside Ma Tao also showed signs of apprehension. It wasn't just because of the strength of Wei Chen, Gu Yuehong, and Ji Mei; it was their calm demeanor in the face of Maguan City's entire blockade that exuded confidence.
Such composure could only come from a prominent family.
In reality, Wei Chen was the heir of the Demon Lotus Emperor, Gu Yuehong belonged to the Dragon Clan, and Ji Mei was a Sea Princess. Any one of them held a top-tier status in the Soul World; how could their aura be anything less?
Maguan City had made a grave mistake this time, and Jiaoleimen would also suffer consequences. Even if the soldier guarding the city was already dead, countless people would still point fingers at him.
After hearing Ma Tao's words, Wei Chen coldly smiled and said, "Lord of the City, stop trying to climb up to my branch; my branch is not something you can cling to! If it weren't for your guards being so reckless today, this incident wouldn't have happened. Their character is easy to imagine; what kind of character do you think you possess?"
Faced with Wei Chen's blatant disdain, Ma Tao and his companions changed their expressions.
They were not made of clay; they couldn't just be squeezed as one pleased.
"Listen here, Cloud Spirit Sect! We can let today’s matter slide, but since you killed so many people from Maguan City, we Jiaoleimen will definitely seek justice from your family!"
"Rest assured, Peach Blossom Sect Wei Chen will not let you down," he replied with a hint of mockery.
“Peach Blossom Sect?” Ma Tao was taken aback, exchanging glances with those around him, all secretly pondering what kind of force this was. It certainly couldn't be from the Blackwater Territory; they were familiar with almost all the major forces there and had never even heard of this name.
“Do you know what kind of force that is?”
“No idea, but to cultivate such young talent, it must be no ordinary force. At the very least, it should be an Eighth-Rank Force.”
“Impossible. An Eighth-Rank Force wouldn't have three such formidable young experts. Just think about Jiaoleimen; those powerful figures are all in their seventies or eighties, right? The three of them combined can't even be sixty! Damn it, have the strong become so young nowadays?”
“Sigh, the waves behind push the waves before, while the former waves die on the beach! Jiaoleimen has run into a tough spot; they won’t die in vain.”
“Yeah, damn Jiaoleimen should have been wiped out long ago. If any force in Blackwater Territory could take down Jiaoleimen, I would be the first to join!”
“Pfft, of course, I would be first! How could it possibly be you?”
“If these three young talents can take down Jiaoleimen and establish a powerful force, they will surely gather a lot of experts in no time. Their future looks bright!”
“Exactly! They’ve killed so many people from Jiaoleimen; it’s truly satisfying!”
“But I really wonder who this Peach Blossom Sect is. It seems like I’ve never heard of them.”
“Who cares about that? The most important thing now is whether they can get through this crisis. If they can survive under Ma Tao's hands and even deal a significant blow to Jiaoleimen when their strong reinforcements arrive, I wouldn’t mind helping out.”
“Count me in! After all these years being oppressed by Jiaoleimen, I’ve had enough of their tyranny.”
……
The people of Maguan City, quietly observing from a distance, were engaged in heated discussions. Similarly, they had no idea where this Peach Blossom Sect had come from. However, from their words, it was clear that Jiaoleimen had long been a local bully that everyone wanted to see brought down; they just lacked a leader to rally behind.
They did not hear the words of Ma Tao and Ji Mei, but Wei Chen and Gu Yuehong heard them clearly. Wei Chen's soul was intertwined with the presence of the Demon Lotus, giving him a sensitivity far beyond that of ordinary people. Gu Yuehong, being of the dragon lineage, possessed top-tier strength in the Soul World; no matter how low they spoke, their proximity allowed her to hear everything.
Wei Chen sneered at Ma Tao and said, "The Peach Blossom Sect is the second Ninth-Rank Power in the Blackwater Territory. Soon we will hold our founding ceremony, and then you will understand the might of our Peach Blossom Sect."
"Ninth-Rank Sect? Heh, do you not know that there can only be one Ninth-Rank Sect in any given region? If you want to establish a Ninth-Rank Sect in Blackwater Territory, where do you place the Blackwater Sect?"
"Whatever skills you have, we will meet them head-on. But today, your Jiaoleimen will be annihilated!"
"What a boastful claim! Not just Jiaoleimen; even our Maguan City is not something you can easily offend! Those who kill our people must pay the price!"
With that, Ma Tao charged at Wei Chen, and the other powerful figures also rushed toward Ji Mei and Gu Yuehong.
"Gu Yuehong, protect Ji Mei well. I will see just how capable this lord of Maguan City truly is!"
Suddenly, a pair of wings appeared behind Wei Chen. The massive Phantom caused Ma Tao's expression to change dramatically!
As Ma Tao launched himself toward Wei Chen, a pair of chilling eyes appeared right before him in an instant!
Boom!
Wei Chen delivered a powerful punch to Ma Tao's chest!
Before he could react, Ma Tao's body was sent flying like a cannonball, hurtling several hundred meters away!
"Ahhh!"
As Ma Tao's agonized scream echoed out, Wei Chen, with his gigantic Fire Phoenix wings flapping fiercely, closed in on him once more. The gust from his palm was infused with potent Soul Power as he unleashed a Palm Strike aimed directly at Ma Tao's heart!
Ma Tao's eyes widened suddenly, his pupils constricting sharply as his body flew out of sight, crashing violently into a building.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The strong warriors who were preparing to attack Ji Mei and Gu Yuehong stared in disbelief as Wei Chen effortlessly killed Ma Tao. They could hardly believe that their leader had fallen so quickly!
A Peak Expert in the Surge Realm was so easily defeated by this young man?
The crowd erupted in excitement!
If it weren't for the fear of Jiaoleimen's power, they would have rushed forward to beat up Ma Tao's subordinates.
"Are you all coming at me together, or one by one?"
Wei Chen waved his hand, a look of disdain and mockery on his face.
"Kill!"
A group of Surge Realm experts unleashed their Soul Techniques at Wei Chen as if they were free. But Wei Chen's speed was simply too fast. Having already reached the Human Soul Realm, he was not someone from the Surge Realm could compare to. Coupled with the speed of the Fire Phoenix, those Soul Techniques couldn't even touch him.
He flapped his wings and charged through the enemy ranks, each punch capable of severely injuring a Surge Realm expert.
The onlookers were stunned. Even Ji Mei couldn't help but chuckle bitterly to herself: "A first-level Human Soul Realm... He might be the strongest first-level Human Soul Realm expert in the Soul World, and also the youngest one. He already possesses three types of divine beast Martial Souls..."
