“Deceiving Heaven to cross the sea? What a joke, there’s no need for an official like me to stoop to such measures.” Yang Tinghe scoffed and looked around at the civilian and military officials and voiced loudly, “I have been studying since young, later became a scholar, and then served as an official in the Imperial Academy. For decades, I have hardly ever left Tiandu on my own. How could someone have impersonated me?”

His speech was firm and righteous, reminding many officials of Yang Tinghe’s years of public service, a record that was indeed beyond reproach.

Pei Xuanjing shook his head and said, “Impersonate? I never said anything about impersonation.” Upon hearing this, many people looked at Pei Xuanjing with unfriendly eyes.

Pei Xuanjing continued, “Why the need for a replacement? The Grand Scholar, Yang Tinghe, is the Blood Demon Sect Master, and the Blood Demon Sect Master is Grand Scholar Yang Tinghe. They are the same person. There’s no question of replacement. ”

Yang Tinghe tried to say something else, but Pei Xuanjing cut him off, his voice cold:

“Moreover, do you think I came here today to argue with you?”

The aura around him gradually rose, creating a suppressing atmosphere in the square. Everyone was shaken by Pei Xuanjing’s terrifying aura.

Pei Xuanjing said, “You can deceive everyone else, but can you deceive Xue Wuheng, the Sky Demon Sect Master, who is also from the Demonic Cult?”

Sky Demon Sect Master Xue Wuheng!

On hearing that name, Yang Tinghe’s profound eyes finally showed a trickle of movement.

“Could he have betrayed me?” A thought flashed through Yang Tinghe’s mind.

But soon, he dismissed this suspicion.

Although they both came from the Demonic Cult and had conflicts, they had shared interests in certain matters. It was impossible for him to betray himself.

Like in the chaos of Tiandu in the past, without his secret assistance, he wouldn’t have been able to escape Tiandu so easily.

All these thoughts occurred in the blink of an eye.

Regardless, the moment Yang Tinghe made his judgment, Pei Xuanjing suddenly attacked without warning.

Boom!

In the shocked and incredulous eyes of everyone, Pei Xuanjing brazenly attacked, without any hesitation.

His True Qi was unleashed, the hot Blood Qi boiling. He held his hand in a palm shape, and purple lightning condensed in his hands. A gigantic palm print, out of nowhere, struck towards Yang Tinghe.

Boom!

Confronted with Pei Xuanjing’s sudden lightning strike and sensing the turbulent energy around him, Yang Tinghe, who had come back to his senses, reacted instinctively. His profound True Qi exploded, preparing to fight back.

However, just as his True Qi exploded, the intimidating palm print, which had seemed like it would obliterate everything, instantly vanished without a trace. It was as if it had never appeared at all.

But the countless eyes focusing on him made Yang Tinghe’s face gradually darken.

He understood that he had been crossed; the other party actually did not have much confidence to confirm his identity, at least not without solid evidence.

The mention of Xue Wuheng’s name was just to probe him, to disrupt his thoughts, and to catch him off guard for a moment.

Moreover, Pei Xuanjing’s palm looked powerful, but in fact, it held no real power. Ultimately, it was just a way to test his strength.

If Yang Tinghe had been alert all along, he naturally would have easily seen through it. But there was no way; the name of Xue Wuheng had too great an impact on him.

Feeling the full force of Pei Xuanjing’s thunderous moves, he had no time to judge and responded instinctively.

And because of this, he completely revealed his strength.

Yang Tinghe’s face darkened, his eyes exuding an almost tangible intent to kill, as if he wanted to shred Pei Xuanjing into a thousand pieces.

“Quick, protect the Empress Dowager!” Someone shouted, and numerous Forbidden Army guards closed in towards the Empress Dowager.

“Your Excellency, Mr. Gu, let’s retreat for now!”

Wang Boan silently stepped in front of Wang Qiong and urged him and Gu Ji to retreat.

“Be careful!” Lin Qingyi, the Commanding Officer of the Brocade Guards, also commanded his men to slowly surround Yang Tinghe.

Everyone looked with horror at Yang Tinghe, who was exuding such intense murderous intent and terrifying aura, their faces turning pale.

They couldn’t believe that this Prime Minister, usually so mild-mannered, was actually the Blood Demon of the Demonic Cult, who instilled fear in the hearts of children.

“Pei! Xuan! Jing!”

Yang Tinghe ignored the Forbidden Army guards and Brocade Guards closing in, his gaze fixed on Pei Xuanjing as he roared in a low voice.

Damn it!

He was just one step away!

For this plan, he had been hiding in the Great Ming Court for decades, consuming incalculable energy and effort, even abandoning the Blood Demon Sect.

The plan he had painstakingly devised over decades was one step away from success. But then, Pei Xuanjing showed up and ruined everything.

How could he not be angry, not hate him!

He had already decided, today, he must kill Pei Xuanjing. He would drain all of his blood and use it to boost his own strength, only then could he relieve his resentment.

At this moment, Yang Tinghe no longer suppressed anything, releasing his entire power without reservation, letting his True Qi and Blood Qi permeate the atmosphere.

“Strike now!” He shouted angrily.

At the same time he sprang into action, several other top fighters also revealed their strength and attacked. These were all his subordinates.

A few of them took out Thousand-Li Fire from their chests and set it off without hesitation.

Even in broad daylight, the Thousand-Li Fire soared into the sky and exploded. It could be seen almost all over Tiandu.

“Kill!”

The Brocade Guards and Imperial guards charged toward these men immediately.

The various faction leaders who had been observing from the side had their expressions changing fast, each of them calculating rapidly in their head whether they should intervene and what benefits they could gain from it.

“This is your doing! I hadn’t intended to kill so many people, but you forced me.” Yang Tinghe’s gaze was ice cold. He muttered to Pei Xuanjing, “Remember, today, these people have died because of you!”

He took a step forward, his surroundings shimmering with violent energy, his aura menacing and tyrannical.

BOOM!

The endless blood mist around him rose and dispersed. The terrifying aura shocked the entire square causing everyone to retreat in fear.

Many officials who couldn’t dodge in time, were touched by the blood mist. Their skin began to fester, as if it was corroded by something.

This was a blood mist unique to the Blood Demon Sect, anyone who was touched and couldn’t expel the blood mist, would definitely be infected and turned into blood water.

Yang Tinghe waved his arms, and the rolling waves of energy rushed away. Then he suddenly slapped a palm, causing an endless blood mist towards Pei Xuanjing..
