Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul raised its eyebrows.

Instead of getting up immediately, it continued to sit cross-legged and sensed the call through the heavenly secret arts.

Moments later, impatience appeared on its face.

Another summon from the Heavenly Secrets Platform!

Is the cabinet in trouble again?

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was inexplicably frustrated, but it had no choice but to get up. It controlled and zoomed the Void World and locked onto the imperial palace in the capital.

Su Jingxing had been forced to become the Yu Nation’s Martial Sage from the very beginning.

This was because of his soul contract with the Rising Dragon Saber King to protect the Yu Nation for ten years.

Originally, Su Jingxing had thought that these ten years would pass quickly and that he wouldn’t have to interfere in anything major.

Unexpectedly, a card allowed him to step into the Transcendent-grade and condense an Essence Soul.

Su Jingxing then encountered the old Martial Sage of the Yu Nation. Xia Cangxuan was about to die, so Su Jingxing was driven into this position that was entirely beyond him.

Ever since he became a Martial Sage, Su Jingxing had been busy.

The Void World monsters had to be blocked, the invading Martial Sages of other countries had to be killed, and the internal chaos had to be resolved.

He had no other choice!

If he were to break the oath, his Essence Soul wouldn’t even be able to break through to the Primordial Spirit realm.

After being summoned by the heavenly secret arts so many times, Su Jingxing became impatient.

In this mood, Su Jingxing wished a new Transcendent-grade martial artist would appear in the Yu Nation. He promised to hand the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal to the other party immediately.

The Kingdom Defending Jade Seal contained the protection of the nation’s fate, mental power combat, and the condensation of the Sage Origin Fruit.

They basically didn’t matter to his Essence Soul anymore.

For example, he had a lot of Spirit Gathering Pills to replace the Sage Origin Fruits.

Since others wanted to replace him. Su Jingxing wished he could get rid of his identity as the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage.

Compared to the benefits, the responsibility he had to bear was more repulsive to Su Jingxing.

…

Swoosh!

Yu Nation, the capital, inside the imperial palace.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul descended from the sky in battle armor and released its perception. Soon, it found Guan Zhonghua and the others.

“Greetings, Martial Sage!”

“We’re very sorry to disturb you again, Martial Sage.”

Guan Zhonghua, Luo Shan, and the others bowed and shouted apologetically.

“What happened?”

The Essence Soul went straight to the point.

“Martial Sage, Pei Donglai, Sword Sage Pei is here.”

Guan Zhonghua replied with an ugly expression, “He said he had something important to discuss with you and wanted us to cooperate. We asked him what it was, but he refused to tell us.”

“Pei Donglai?”

The Essence Soul’s heart skipped a beat. It recalled the bad feeling from before. It was verified now.

It turned out that Pei Donglai had come knocking on his door!

This battle fanatic, the invincible Sword Sage, the number one expert in the world, loved to approach experts to challenge them.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul had destroyed the Xuanyin Sect and killed a Barbarian God. Its strength was comparable to the Primordial Spirit realm.

It was expected that Pei Donglai would come knocking after finding out!

Even though the Essence Soul was very against fighting Pei Donglai, if this Sword Sage Pei could be convinced so easily, he wouldn’t have come to where he was today.

Rather than hiding, it was better to take care of it in one go.

At this thought, the Essence Soul’s eyes flashed as it made its decision.

“Where is he?”

“He’s…”

Buzz!

At this moment, the air suddenly shook. An invisible pressure suddenly descended from the sky and covered the entire palace.

“I’m here.”

An excited voice sounded. Pei Donglai stepped through the air and arrived above the palace.

The Essence Soul looked up at the sky.

Guan Zhonghua, Luo Shan, Xiao Renwo, and the others were flushed and trembling.

Without exception, the others were all sprawled on the ground, trembling.

Although it was not the suppression of a Primordial Spirit, the might of a Transcendent-grade was equally irresistible to those below it.

“Enough.”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul growled and began to accumulate its divine power.

He was not a Primordial Spirit, so he could not release the same pressure to neutralize it.

“Haha, Kong Xuan, is it?”

In the air, Pei Donglai’s eyes lit up. He retracted his suppression and smiled brightly. “The last time I saw you, I didn’t know your strength and missed you. I waited so long before we met again…”

“Sword Sage Pei, get straight to the point,” interrupted Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul impatiently. “I still have something on. I don’t have that much time to catch up with you.”

Silence.

As soon as the Essence Soul said this, the sky and ground instantly fell terrifyingly silent.

This person in the air, Sword Sage Pei, was the number one expert in the world!

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was actually so disrespectful?

The hearts of everyone else all stopped beating for a moment. Cold sweat broke out on their faces and their hearts palpitated for some reason.

For Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul to be so direct with Pei Donglai, was it certain that it could defeat Sword Sage Pei?

Or was it thinking too highly of itself and was arrogant, looking down on Pei Donglai?

Either possibility would provoke Pei Donglai’s anger.

After being famous for so many years, even if Pei Donglai didn’t mind at first, he had begun to value respect now. He would never tolerate anyone looking down on him.

…

And that was indeed the case.

As soon as Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul finished speaking, while Pei Donglai’s expression remained unchanged, a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.

“Of course. Since Martial Sage Kong is so straightforward, I won’t hide anything anymore.”

Pei Donglai said calmly, “I came to the Yu Nation this time to seek guidance. I hope Martial Sage Kong can fight me!”

“That can be done.”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul answered straightforwardly. The Thunder Dragon eye guard opened at the right time, revealing its eyes. It looked at Pei Donglai from a distance.

Divine power, Eyes of Panic, activated!

At the same time, it said, “I’ve long heard of Sword Sage Pei. It’s my honor to be able to compete with you.

“However, I hope I can choose the location of the battle!”

“Of-f course… yes.” Pei Donglai looked into the Essence Soul’s eyes and felt his heart palpitate for some reason. He began to stutter.
