System's Super Sect Chapter 1014 942: Killing Di Chen (Third Update)

Jisheng Hall's stronghold.

From atop the towering structure, ever since those few guards hobbled away, no one dared step inside to disturb Di Chen.

At this juncture, uttering a single word would only exacerbate the situation.

It was universally understood that silence and allowing the Hall Master to regain his composure was the wisest course of action.

After dismissing the messenger, Di Chen unleashed a palm strike, shattering the table.

In his fury, he procured several flasks of premium wine from his Storage Ring.

He downed one entire flask in a single gulp!

While heartily imbibing, he voiced his rage.

"Immortal Sect, prepare for the Domain Master's retribution."

"The Domain Master offered you consideration, and you presume to be something extraordinary? Were it not for the Vortex Map, you... you all would be annihilated."

"But your demise is now imminent. You assassinated my Jisheng Hall's people, then eliminated four esteemed disciples of the Domain Master, and furthermore, you dared to defy me before all the Red Domain's factions, showing no regard for my Domain Lord's Mansion... your remaining days are few."

Having spoken, he lifted another wine vessel.

He drained its contents in one continuous motion!

Di Chen had never experienced such profound humiliation.

And this occurred in the presence of so many formidable powers within the Red Domain.

If this insult is not avenged, I vow to forsake humanity!

"Yun Liao... along with all those aligned with Jinzhi Tower, and those associated factions, and the members of the Immortal Sect..."

"You shall all face death!"

As these words left his lips, an unyielding killing intent radiated from Di Chen's eyes.

Resembling a venomous serpent lurking in the midnight darkness.

Just then, a sudden rap echoed from the door.

Knock, knock—

"Begone!"

Di Chen bellowed in anger.

However, the individual outside showed no inclination to depart, speaking once more: "Hall Master, it is Donghun."

Donghun.

The foremost among Jisheng Hall's War Gods.

Furthermore, a trusted confidant of Di Chen.

At this moment, only he possessed the audacity to enter the chamber and seek out Di Chen amidst his tempestuous rage.

The tone from within Di Chen's quarters softened slightly, though his murderous intent remained palpable.

"Donghun! You arrive at an opportune moment. Go, fetch me the heads of the Immortal Sect's disciples and Yun Liao of the Immortal Sect!"

Donghun offered a wry smile, "Hall Master, you are intoxicated."

Venture forth to eliminate members of the Immortal Sect?

Even as the leader of the War Gods, he lacked such suicidal courage.

"Hurry!" Di Chen commanded again.

Donghun responded with resignation, "I shall proceed, yet Hall Master, please moderate your drinking,"

With that, Donghun made his exit.

Naturally, he had no intention of seeking out the individuals from the Immortal Sect.

Firstly, because their demise was unattainable.

Secondly, because provoking them was beyond his capacity.

Six War Gods had already fallen to the might of the Immortal Sect.

He had no desire to become the seventh.

Departing the building, he left the premises directly.

Subsequently, another knock resounded at the door.

Knock—

A solitary sound!

Di Chen immediately roared, "Who dares disturb me now?"

"I—"

The visitor uttered a single syllable before pushing the door inward.

Creak—

The door swung open slowly.

A veiled figure entered the room and, with deliberate care, secured the door behind them.

"Are you seeking death?"

The impudence of forcing entry without his consent ignited Di Chen's fury.

The Immortal Sect had dared to openly defy him.

Now, even his own subordinate dared to disregard his commands and intrude without permission.

An immediate surge of killing intent coursed through Di Chen.

However, without warning, a swift shadow lunged from behind, plunging into Di Chen's back.

Following this, a Black Scythe materialized, hovering menacingly above Di Chen's head.

Appearing poised to descend at any given moment.

The shadowy assailant, emanating an aura of Half-Step Earth Unrestricted might, had entered. Yet, rather than pain, Di Chen felt only shock; his intoxication evaporated, and a surprising lack of fear gripped him.

But as the intruder removed their mask, a chilling sensation spread through Di Chen from head to toe.

Having unveiled his face, Wenping stood revealed.

"It is you!"

"Indeed, it is I."

Wenping calmly took a seat in a nearby chair, his gaze fixed upon Di Chen.

"What do you... intend to do?"

The terrifying aura that enveloped him left Di Chen struggling to articulate his words.

A profound sense of impending doom washed over him.

Wenping's response was measured, "To end your life, why else would I have come here?"

"No... how could you possibly—"

Wham!

Just as Di Chen was on the verge of activating his Meridian Gate.

And on the cusp of uttering his fifth word.

Dark Stream Annihilation obliterated Di Chen's physical form. The Black Scythe flashed, instantly extinguishing Di Chen's life.

This entire sequence transpired in the span of a single breath.

With Di Chen deceased, Wenping slowly rose and exited the chamber.

Upon departing, he courteously closed the door behind him.

His objective: the demise of Di Chen.

Wenping arrived stealthily.

He departed unheard.

As if his actions were of little consequence.

There was no recourse for Di Chen; the power of Dark Stream Annihilation was overwhelmingly potent.

Even with his keen senses at their peak, he might have perceived the approach of the Dark Stream Annihilation.

However, clouded by intoxication.

Nothing registered beyond his rage.

Having vanquished Di Chen, Wenping retreated to the Flying Ship, ascended into the heavens, and traversed the Teleportation Array directly back to the Immortal Sect.

Upon his immediate return to the Immortal Sect, a summons arrived via the Sound Transmission Stone.

Wenping retrieved it.

From the other end of the Sound Transmission Stone, Yun Liao’s voice emanated.

"Sect Leader, the Pavilion Master of Xuan Court Pavilion has just conveyed a message. He wishes for you to offer Di Chen a path to survival and to let this matter conclude for now. Should you antagonize Di Chen, it would bring nothing but detriment to the Immortal Sect."

"Understood. Is there anything else?"

"That is all."

Yun Liao felt disinclined to elaborate.

The circumstances surrounding Di Chen were well-known.

He understood that the Sect Leader would likely disregard the plea entirely.

The sole reason he relayed the words of Yun Shui Za Tian to Wenping was to ensure Wenping was aware that Yun Shui Za Tian had uttered them.

"Forget offering a way out; send him a coffin instead," Wenping declared, decisively stowing the Sound Transmission Stone.

On the other side of the Sound Transmission Stone, Yun Liao was momentarily taken aback by Wenping's response.

A subsequent realization dawned, and he let out a laugh.

He began to ponder where one might procure a coffin.

Meanwhile, after putting away the Sound Transmission Stone and preparing to contact Tao Niang regarding Yang Lele’s condition, Wenping noticed Chen Xie approaching with urgency.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

Chen Xie had witnessed the astonishing display within Jinzhi Tower's third layer—the Sect Leader's swift annihilation of Di Chen amidst swirling dark energy. Witnessing the Sect Leader's return, he rushed to offer his respects.

An esteemed hall master from the You Country Domain Lord's Mansion.

His demise was so abrupt.

Crushed like an insignificant insect by the Sect Leader's power.

If this event could be publicized, Chen Xie was certain it would dominate the headlines of the next day's Immortal Daily.

"Any developments from Jin Busan?" Wenping inquired.

Chen Xie responded, "Sect Leader, Jin Busan returned to the preliminary competition area immediately after departing from Jisheng Hall's headquarters and has been observing Yun Liao's matches ever since. He only dispatched someone to contact Elder Yun, intending to discuss potential cooperation with you further."

"It appears highly probable that the Domain Master's directive to him indeed pertains to collaboration with the Immortal Sect; otherwise, he wouldn't be suppressing his personal feelings to broach this subject with me under such circumstances."

Wenping chuckled.

This observation indicated the Domain Master's evident haste.

Anxious to forge an alliance with the Immortal Sect.

It was clear he aimed to capitalize on the situation before news of the Vortex Map became widespread, denying any advantage to other Domain Masters or competing factions.

Chen Xie then asked, "Sect Leader, do you intend to meet with him then?"
