System's Super Sect Chapter 1004 - 932: Xuan Court Pavilion and the Yin Yang Family Make Overtures

Enduring the flames ensures survival.

Yet, in the next instant, two fiery dragons slammed into his Vein Qi Shield, obliterating it.

He was consumed by fire, his spirit body immediately seized by the blaze, and he suffered ten percent damage promptly.

Nevertheless, the three disciples from Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart paid no mind. They had barely savored breaching the Mirror Lake Barrier when a vast expanse of Bone Spirit Cold Fire materialized near them, compelling them to mount a hurried defense.

Consequently, just as they parried on one flank, Yun Liao manifested to their right, accompanied by another onslaught of Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

An assault followed from the front, then from the rear.

Yun Liao had the uncanny ability to appear on any side at a moment's notice, compelling the four opponents into a perpetual state of reactive defense.

...

Beyond the immediate combat zone.

Yun Shui Speak-to-Heaven observed the unfolding spectacle with profound astonishment.

The assembled spectators were even more flabbergasted by the scene.

Four disciples of a Domain Master, united in their efforts, yet unable to subdue Yun Liao?

Could this be plausible?

Were none of these four inherently superior to Wu Yan?

At this juncture, the consensus formed: Yun Liao had deliberately restrained himself during his encounter with Wu Yan.

Or, to put it another way, Wu Yan had failed to provoke Yun Liao into revealing the full extent of his capabilities.

The battle previously witnessed offered merely a glimpse of Yun Liao's true prowess.

Reflecting on this revelation, all onlookers drew a sharp, collective breath.

Could Yun Liao genuinely claim the coveted first place in the Red Domain?

High above, Yun Shui Speak-to-Heaven couldn't withhold an exclamation, "Sect Leader Wen, this sorcery is truly breathtaking. Within the confines of the Mirror Lake Barrier, Yun Liao moves with unfettered freedom. The four from Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart are utterly clueless as to Yun Liao's next point of emergence or the direction from which his next spell will strike. Even breaching a segment of the Mirror Lake Barrier proves futile, as a new section immediately reforms..."

Yun Shui Speak-to-Heaven's admiration knew no bounds.

Unbeknownst to them, Jin Busan and Di Chen's expressions grew increasingly grim with each passing moment.

This was far from the outcome they had envisioned.

Their desire was to see Yun Liao utterly dominated.

They yearned to witness Yun Liao teetering on the precipice of annihilation.

They craved to see Wen Ping consumed by anxiety!

Yet, here was Wen Ping, a picture of placid amusement, basking in the accolades showered upon him by Yun Shui Speak-to-Heaven and the others.

"Sect Leader Wen, I too hold a distinct viewpoint." Jin Busan declared icily, "Pavilion Master Yun perceives the intricate marvels of the Mirror Lake Barrier, but my observation is one of ostentatious display lacking true substance. After such an extended engagement, the four disciples from Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart have sustained no critical injuries; to what end does this prolonged struggle serve? Does he genuinely intend to battle for a full day and night?"

Wen Ping cast a sidelong glance at Jin Busan and responded with detached indifference, "Domain Master Jin, should you find the spectacle unengaging, you are at liberty to depart."

If you harbor dissent, feel free to voice it independently.

He had neither the inclination nor the spare time for protracted debates on such matters.

Those with understanding will grasp it.

Those without will fail to comprehend, regardless of explanation.

Or perhaps comprehension is present,

Yet willful ignorance is maintained.

Whether comprehended or not, the truth is known to him, and visible to others.

Yet he persists in feigning a lack of understanding.

Such pretense is ultimately pointless.

Is his intention truly to engage in a direct confrontation when heavily outnumbered?

Upon hearing Wen Ping's frigid retort, Jin Busan forced a strained smile and then offered, "Sect Leader Wen misunderstands my intent. My inquiry stems purely from curiosity. If Sect Leader Wen prefers silence on the matter, then let us resume our observation."

With that, Jin Busan ceased his interjections.

Internally, however, he seethed with resentment.

Nevertheless, mindful of the Domain Master's regard for the Immortal Sect's leader, he dared not openly defy Wen Ping at that moment.

Yun Shui Speak-to-Heaven and the others observed Jin Busan's public dismissal by Wen Ping and could not suppress a sense of secret satisfaction.

After all, they typically found themselves compelled to show Jin Busan considerable deference, often bordering on excessive politeness.

In prior times, who within the entire Red Domain would have dared to act without first considering the sentiments of Di Chen or Jin Busan?

But now, the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect possesses the audacity!

Not only disregarding you but also harboring intentions of eliminating your subordinates!

"Sect Leader Wen, I happen to have a grandson... he just reached the age of twenty this year. While his innate talent might not capture your esteemed attention, it is undoubtedly among the foremost in the Red Domain. Would he perhaps be permitted to study your extraordinary techniques?"

Yun Shui Speak-to-Heaven mused inwardly, This is the opportune moment to secure a valuable connection!

Wen Ping let out a chuckle, responding, "The path of magic is quite unique. Even with exceptional talent in the Cultivation Meridian Gate, one might not be suited for cultivating magic. Conversely, possessing magical talent doesn't guarantee proficiency in the Cultivation Meridian Gate. However, if Pavilion Master Yun holds this thought, you are welcome to send your grandson to the Immortal Sect. Should he possess magical aptitude, he shall become a disciple of the Immortal Sect in the future."

Naturally, Wen Ping's statement was merely a casual remark.

What if the Immortal Sect were to soon confront You Country? Would Yun Shui Speak-to-Heaven still offer his grandson?

Yet, this offhand comment filled Yun Shui Speak-to-Heaven with immense excitement.

After all, if his grandson were to join the sect, the Immortal Sect and Yun Shui Speak-to-Heaven would be bound by familial ties in the future.

Witnessing the turn of events, the two elders from the Yin Yang Family understood that hesitation would mean missing their chance.

Thus, they resolved to interject, stating, "Sect Leader Wen, we also have a granddaughter, who possesses extraordinary talent..."

Before they could complete their sentence, Wen Ping, with a smile, readily agreed, "Very well, have them come and try. If they prove suitable, they will be welcomed into the Immortal Sect."

Upon hearing Wen Ping's words, the two elders from the Yin Yang Family broke into broad smiles, their eyes crinkling into crescents.

Meanwhile, Jin Busan and Di Chen could only manage strained smiles, inwardly cursing Yun Shui Speak-to-Heaven and the two Yin Yang Family elders multiple times.
