Chapter 1476: Chapters 1424-1425: Hard to Alleviate, Fortuitous Opportunities Chapter 1476: Chapters 1424-1425: Hard to Alleviate, Fortuitous Opportunities “He said he was walking on thin ice for various reasons. But who isn't walking on thin ice, with their own reasons?” Pang Hong sneered, dismissing the excuse entirely.
This was the first time Pang Hong had displayed such an attitude in front of his own master, the words and expression filled with disdain for Zhu Houji.
Given Pang Hong's reverence for Pei Xuanjing, any arrangements made by Pei Xuanjing would never have been met with resistance, only compliance.
As Pang Hong had said to the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, the ancestral master's words were the rule; once mentioned, they were to be carried out, even if not understood, they had to be learned and followed without any dissent.
But his attitude today was noticeably off, and even if there were things he deemed inappropriate, he usually would have advised more tactfully, not so bluntly.
However, one could also see how repulsed Pang Hong was by Zhu Houji's actions this time, to the point where he was unwilling to heed Pei Xuanjing's counsel and desist.
“Master, the actions taken this time were not driven by me. Instead, I merely let go, and then the elders and disciples spontaneously took action,” Pang Hong explained with a bitter expression to Pei Xuanjing.
He had come to consult his master on where to pursue his next opportunities, but unexpectedly, before he could speak, his master brought up the recent friction between the underlings of Shenxiao and the Jade Emperor.
And his master seemed to think that Pang Hong was behind it all, thus speaking to suggest that he mediate.
However, the truth was not so, indeed, Pang Hong detested the Jade Emperor's actions, but the current Pang Hong was entirely focused on how to achieve Tao Certifying, with no interest in contending over such matters.
In Pang Hong's view, his strength was still insufficient, not yet a True Immortal. Even if he were to fall out with the Jade Emperor, it could end up dragging his master into the fray, which he did not want.
For Pang Hong and the strong within the Shenxiao Sect, there was no need for the ancestral master's intervention; they wanted to handle matters themselves and maintain the ancestral master's dignity with their own strength.
Therefore, Pang Hong had not actually intervened behind the scenes, nor had he made any push. Everything was initiated by the Shenxiao Sect's disciples and strong ones on their own.
Even though it was spontaneous, Pang Hong was unwilling to organize any resistance, as his distaste for the Jade Emperor prevented him from halting the many disciples.
“Is that so?” Pei Xuanjing said upon hearing this, a trace of surprise appearing in his eyes; indeed, this was not what he had anticipated.
Although Pei Xuanjing remained deep within the Shenxiao Domain and did not emerge, he easily grasped all that transpired in the world, knowing all he wished to, with nothing beyond his knowledge.
Regarding the friction between the two factions, Pei Xuanjing had not been concerned, hence he had not delved into the root of the problem between them but simply wished to suppress the conflict somewhat.
Intrfactional disputes over the distribution of benefits were inevitable, let alone between the forces under the Jade Emperor and the Shenxiao Sect, which were not of the same faction.
Therefore, Pei Xuanjing could understand the struggle between the two forces, but he felt the situation had escalated too much, almost stirring up trouble throughout the city, at least to the point other forces began to imitate and learn, which was somewhat problematic.
After all, from Pei Xuanjing's position, he had much to consider, especially as the leader of the Shenxiao Sect initiating action, it could be perceived as his will, his orchestration behind the scenes.
Thus, all he wanted to do was mitigate the situation, not believing he could eradicate it entirely, even though his authority and power were sufficient to do so.
But upon truly seeing Pang Hong's stance and hearing such a vehement opposition and statement, Pei Xuanjing realized he had indeed overlooked internal matters of the Shenxiao Sect or underestimated the grudges accumulated over the years between the two powers.
A buildup of frost is not the work of one day; the grievances between the strengths of these factions were not amassed overnight but due to long-term uneven distribution of benefits.
Especially for the cultivators within the Shenxiao Sect, who were the ones losing out on benefits, if it was for the sake of cooperation, even with some losses, it would have been tolerable.
But now, Zhu Houji of the Jade Emperor, having already gained from Shenxiao Sect's risks without reciprocating and now choosing to betray at this moment, it was something Shenxiao Sect could not tolerate.
After clarifying all this, Pei Xuanjing couldn't voice the words for Pang Hong to suppress the impact anymore.
Indeed, there was no reason for the Shenxiao Sect's many disciples to give way, even though the prestige of Pei Xuanjing and Pang Hong could indeed accomplish that, yet they could not continue to do so.
“In that case, let's consider it as if I had never mentioned this matter, and let you handle it!” Pei Xuanjing was not a stubborn man, especially now that he understood that his previous view was incorrect, so he naturally wouldn't persist.
“Thank you, master, I was disrespectful just now, please forgive me,” Pang Hong bowed in gratitude.
He was aware that his tone had been a bit too harsh, even if a large part of it was due to his own indignation, but that was no excuse to disrespect his master.
