System's Super Sect Chapter 1033 958: With External Threats at the Door, Resolve Heaven and Earth Lake’s Internal Troubles First

However, the fact that the Absolute Knowledge Tower can continuously spawn black shadows lessens the surprise of Di Ting's special abilities.

As for any bloodline limitations Di Ting might possess, Wen Ping had long since disregarded them.

This was because the inherent limitations of the Demon Race from the Demon Emperor Lake had been eliminated.

Di Ting's current limitations weren't even as significant as a single blade of grass in the Demon Emperor Lake.

Di Ting questioned, his voice laced with suspicion, "Since Sect Leader Wen has no intention of recruiting me, why did you spare my life?"

"You will understand when the time comes that I require your use."

Wen Ping's decision to keep Di Ting alive was for the sake of future preparations.

In a few days, when the construction of the Demon Race commenced, Wen Ping would need a living Di Ting as the initial test subject.

But that was a matter for later consideration.

After subduing Di Ting, Wen Ping left a message for Chen Xie, along with a high-grade Realm-Breaking Pill. He then instructed, "Once Sword Demon has fully recovered, give him the Realm-Breaking Pill. If he manages to step into the Celestial Unrestricted realm with its aid, it will signify his good fortune. If not, the pill's energy will suffice to stabilize his Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted realm."

By noon tomorrow, the Curved Realm Passage was set to open.

Whether Sword Demon would achieve the Celestial Unrestricted realm depended entirely on his luck.

Even if fortune did not favor him, the stabilization of his Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted realm would still be a beneficial outcome for Wen Ping.

After carefully putting away the Realm-Breaking Pill, Chen Xie quickly inquired, "Sect Leader, how should we address the Hundred Sects Alliance? I am concerned that while we are engaged with the Heaven's Cover Tower, they might betray us. If we are forced to contend with threats from both within and without simultaneously, our situation could become exceedingly dire."

While the Hundred Sects Alliance lacked formidable experts, not even possessing a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted cultivator, their sheer numbers were an imposing factor.

A betrayal from them would undoubtedly present a troublesome complication for the Immortal Sect.

Would this necessitate the annihilation of everyone in Vast City?

"With external threats looming, you have reminded me that if the internal threat posed by the Hundred Sects Alliance remains unchecked, they will continue to be a persistent nuisance." Although Wen Ping did not place much importance on the Hundred Sects Alliance, the constant buzzing of mosquitoes, so to speak, was indeed vexing.

Wen Ping's mind immediately turned to contemplation.

He already had a strategy in place for dealing with the Hundred Sects Alliance.

He had intended for the Wanderer Post to dismantle them.

However, with the impending invasion of Heaven and Earth Lake by the Heaven's Cover Tower, the Wanderer Post had already been forced to retreat due to their diminished strength.

After a brief period of thought, Wen Ping finalized his revised plan.

"Use the Sound Transmission Stone to contact Pei Wu. Command him to halt the operations of the high-level Wanderer Post and remain in place. Transmit a message to Long Yue, instructing him to immediately proceed to Bright Mirror Lake and inform the Silver Level Chiefs of the current situation. Within fifteen minutes, I will utilize the Teleportation Array to dispatch them to Vast City."

"Understood!"

Chen Xie promptly moved aside, procuring the Sound Transmission Stone to contact Pei Wu.

...

At that moment, Pei Wu was overseeing the withdrawal of the Wanderer Post's forces outside Bright Mirror Lake. Standing atop a mountain peak, he gazed upon his grievously wounded and fallen soldiers, a profound grief welling up within his heart.

His worries extended not only to the current decline but also to the uncertain future.

What path lay ahead for the Wanderer Post?

With the Heaven's Cover Tower poised to invade Heaven and Earth Lake, how would they possibly survive?

They could barely contend with a single Earth Unrestricted expert, yet according to Chen Xie, Earth Unrestricted cultivators within the Heaven's Cover Tower were merely common figures.

"When this world casts you aside, it won't even bother to bid you farewell."

Pei Wu let out a heavy sigh.

Suddenly, his Sound Transmission Stone emitted an alert.

Pei Wu swiftly retrieved the Sound Transmission Stone from his person, his expression of despair vanishing in an instant.

The signal from the Sound Transmission Stone indicated that Chen Xie was attempting to contact him.

"Elder Chen?"

"It is I."

Chen Xie's voice resonated through the stone.

Pei Wu's face instantly brightened with a smile, a glimmer of anticipation appearing in his eyes.

He held onto the hope that Chen Xie might bring some favorable news.

Though he recognized the difficulty of such a prospect.

The only viable path forward for the Wanderer Post, he believed, lay through the Immortal Sect.

"Elder Chen, do you require our assistance with anything?" Pei Wu inquired tentatively.

Chen Xie's reply came swiftly, "Bring your high-ranking Wanderer Post members and await further instructions at your current location. This is a direct order from the Sect Leader!"

"Understood!" Pei Wu followed up with another question, "Elder Chen, are we..."

Chen Xie cut off Pei Wu's inquiry, stating, "The Sect Leader did not elaborate further. Simply muster your forces and stand by. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, you will confront the Hundred Sects Alliance in Vast City within fifteen minutes."

"I shall assemble our people immediately!"

Pei Wu acknowledged the instruction with a nod.

Could this confrontation with the Hundred Sects Alliance be the ultimate resolution?

Harboring this thought, Pei Wu swiftly gathered the assembled high-ranking members of the Wanderer Post before vanishing with a flash of white light.

...

Bright Mirror Lake.

The base of the Hundred Sects Alliance.

Following a previous defeat and the loss of formidable individuals at Heaven's Cover tower, the morale within the Hundred Sects Alliance had plummeted to an all-time low.

Despite a semblance of stability under the Silver Level Chiefs, a sense of apathy had settled upon the ranks, diminishing any will to continue the conflict.

Pressing onward seemed like a direct route to annihilation.

This was not a battle they should have been embroiled in.

This conflict transcended the Earth Unrestricted realm.

Their cultivation levels were merely at the Divine Profound Realm, at best the Mountain Suppression Realm.

"The demonic horde has vanished."

"The demon horde has retreated!"

"They have truly withdrawn!"

Upon receiving the news of the Demon Race's withdrawal, jubilation and immense relief washed over the members of the Hundred Sects Alliance.

Regardless of the reasons behind the Demon Race's departure, it was undeniably welcome news.

Their lives had been spared.

Not long after they indulged in their joy, Long Yue materialized above the Hundred Sects Alliance camp, astride a Magic Broom.

"Where are your Silver Level Chiefs?"

As Long Yue's commanding voice echoed, all eyes turned towards the sky.

They had previously observed Long Yue traversing the skies on his Magic Broom.

An expert of the Earth Unrestricted realm!

Panic began to spread amongst them.

The newly promoted Silver Level Chiefs of the Upper Realm Mountain Suppression realm tentatively emerged from their tents.

With no means to resist, they had no option but to comply.

"We are here."

The seven responded, a palpable sense of dread filling their hearts.

They harbored the belief that Long Yue could obliterate them with a mere flick of his finger using a Vein Technique.

"The seven of you? Very well, then summon your Sect Leaders from the Five-star Giant Influences. We shall arrange for your return to Vast City shortly. This is the Sect Leader's decree; do not keep him waiting, lest none of you survive. While I possess a mild temper, our Sect Leader is known for his volatile nature and executes without hesitation."

A strained smile touched the lips of the seven after Long Yue concluded his statement.

The order of the Immortal Sect Leader?

Since when were they obligated to adhere to the Immortal Sect Leader's commands?

Exchange glances amongst themselves, the seven ultimately conceded with nods.

With Celestial Unrestricted experts present, their own standing was insignificant.

Their primary concern was preserving their lives!

A quarter of an hour later, the seven Silver Level Chiefs, alongside dozens of leaders from the Five-star Giant Influences, were dispatched via the Teleportation Array.

...

Vast City.

Streams of white light descended in succession.

The wanderers and the Silver Level Chiefs of the Hundred Sects Alliance materialized outside the headquarters of the Hundred Sects Alliance.

Upon sighting the contingent from the Hundred Sects Alliance, Pei Wu and his companions swiftly activated their Meridian Gates.

The two groups faced each other, a palpable tension rising as they prepared for imminent conflict.

At this juncture, Chen Xie emerged from the headquarters, his gaze sweeping coldly over the assembled individuals, before commanding, "Disengage your Meridian Gates. Accompany me inside; the Sect Leader wishes to grant you an audience."

Pei Wu and the others had no recourse but to deactivate their Meridian Gates.

They proceeded indoors, closely followed by the members of the Hundred Sects Alliance, who soon quickened their pace in an attempt to surpass them.

Even their movements became a contest!

Within the grand hall of the headquarters, Wen Ping stood poised, his hands clasped behind his back.

"Sect Leader Wen!"

"Greetings, Sect Leader Wen!"

Upon entering, Pei Wu and his group immediately bowed in deference.

The members of the Hundred Sects Alliance remained hesitant, exchanging uncertain glances.

However, the seven Silver Level Chiefs quickly assessed the situation.

Given Wen Ping's presence within the headquarters of the Hundred Sects Alliance, it was highly probable that he had already subdued the Celestial Unrestricted individuals.

With such formidable adversaries vanquished, what recourse did they possess?

Following the Seven Silver Level Chiefs' bows, the remaining leaders of the Five-star Influences emulated their actions.

Once the members of the Hundred Sects Alliance lowered their heads, Wen Ping finally addressed them.

"I have convened you all for a singular objective: to gain a comprehensive understanding of the war waged at Heaven and Earth Lake."

Pei Wu felt a surge of elation.

The wanderers shared in the relief.

Conversely, the members of the Hundred Sects Alliance exhibited signs of apprehension.

Pei Wu immediately responded, "Sect Leader Wen, your word is my command! I shall follow your directives without deviation!"
