Chapter 177: Chapter 95: The Second Realm!_3

After two days of calm seas, the only thing worth mentioning was that Elder Xue had gone to draft a document and submitted it to the Ministry of Personnel. He was going to participate in the selection for the Imperial Guard, as the grand ceremony was only more than ten days away, so he would have to go for the selection tomorrow.

For some reason, all the descendants of Military Merit in the entire Capital City.

This time, they all chose the [Imperial Guard].

The officials of the Ministry of Personnel were amazed and lamented that such enthusiasm among these descendants had not been seen in many years. Li Guanyi thought it was the Emperor who wanted to use him as a sharpening stone, and on his way back, he said to Elder Xue, "Qi Junsong’s son has died, and they still plan to fight with me?"

Xue Daoyong said, "This time, Guanyi, you have wronged our Saint Emperor."

"You told me the other day that you encountered Yuwen Lie at the banquet, where the Emperor had these foreign emissaries from other nations talk about the scenery and culture of our Chen Country. At the end of the day, it’s just flattering each other, giving face to one another."

"Saying things about the vast land and flourishing culture, maintaining a superficial harmony."

"But Yuwen Lie instead said, the scenery and landscapes he saw were not as commendable as you."

"Hmph, it did give you some fame, but now all the nations also know about Li Guanyi of Chen Country. Hmph, ’the tree that stands out in the forest, is the first to be blown down,’ this Divine General of the Military School intends to use the whirlpool of the grand ceremony of Chen Country to destroy you."

"These military generals’ descendants, unable to tolerate this, are all young people; even those who previously bore no malice towards you now can’t help but want to test your mettle."

"Malicious and vicious indeed, to use such schemes that turn clandestine murder into an open strategy."

"None of the Divine Generals of the Military School are easy to deal with."

Elder Xue was quite indignant.

He and Li Guanyi returned to Li Guanyi’s courtyard, where seeing the rockery split by the boy, the old man burst into laughter. He patted Li Guanyi on the shoulder and said, "You, you, always so calm and collected, it seems you still have temper. Targeted by Yuwen Lie, you were angry enough to split mountains in frustration?"

"In this respect, you are far inferior to the old man."

The old man was quite proud.

He then had someone fetch tea and snacks, saying, "Today, let’s drink tea, and by the way, the old man is also very curious why Yuwen Lie targets you so?" The elder looked at Li Guanyi, speaking softly, "If it’s about the White Tiger Dharma Form, the old man also has the White Tiger Dharma Form, if it’s about youthful heroes, there are many such heroes under the heavens."

"He is a Divine General with the ability to destroy nations, ranked among the top ten in the world in his thirties, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, masterful in Military Yin Yang, Military Formation, Military Strategy, and Military Skills—none can match him, let alone a youthful hero, being noticed by him is only a qualification."

"My Xue Family knows some inside information, some already believe that Yuwen Lie, such a young and imperious Divine General, destroying nations and cities, is like the ancestor of my family, the Overlord of the White Tiger Sect from eight hundred years ago. Though tyrannical, he also ought to have the capacity to tolerate others, even if he’s fierce and valorous, there’s no need to kill you on the spot."

"Guan Yi, why?"

Li Guanyi looked at Xue Daoyong.

He knew.

Only the elder had a clear understanding of Yuwen Lie’s hostility towards him.

Only the elder could be sufficiently prepared.

After finishing his tea, Li Guanyi made up his mind, stood up, picked up his sword, and said:

"I will demonstrate for you, Elder Xue."

The blade hummed in its sheath. Li Guanyi drew his sword, cracks appeared on the dark surface of the Three Hundred Refinement Blade, and soon the cracks were filled with golden light, and finally, the boy cleaved, sending out a brilliant sword light, splitting the last part of the rockery.

The elder’s hand, holding the tea cup, paused.

Li Guanyi retracted his hand, the blade shattered, falling downwards.

Xue Daoyong watched the flying sword light, his whole body rigid, but he had anticipated this.

The previous rapid breakthrough had prepared Xue Daoyong for Li Guanyi’s breakthrough.

Although it exceeded his expectations now, he could barely maintain his composure, and said, "You, the second realm? Such a speed of breakthrough, although impressive, still isn’t enough to make him..."

Li Guanyi sat down, placing the sword handle beside him.

The surrounding Qi condensed and transformed into the White Tiger Dharma Form, the potent White Tiger aura dispersed all around.

The wind stirred, and in the void, it seemed as if a ferocious tiger was roaring.

The young man sat before the tea table, his temples slightly lifted, looking at the elder in front of him.

He spoke softly, yet the words shattered Xue Daoyong’s view of the grand scheme.

Li Guanyi said:

"What if I say,"

"that I am the real White Tiger Sect’s Overlord?"

"?!!!"

Xue Daoyong abruptly looked up at him.

His expression froze.

PS:

Today my editor discussed with me that the book’s title is excessively harsh and needs to be changed. Given the point we’ve reached in the story, I decided to rename it to "Peace Order," inviting all under heaven to a deadly quest, seeking peace for all, tranquility.
