System's Super Sect Chapter 1220 - 1074: Auspicious? This Is Clearly Calamity! (Second Update)

As Elder Mingzhu forcefully helped Elder You Yue leave, the entrance to the Forbidden Land fell silent once more.

Aside from the guardians patrolling, only a few faint insect chirps could be heard.

At this moment, the shadow of a nearby stone suddenly became lighter, but no one noticed this change.

A quarter of an hour later, Wenping on the rooftop of the Purple Treasure Pavilion suddenly took out a Sound Transmission Stone.

A voice came through the Sound Transmission Stone.

"Sect Leader, people from Zeming Palace have arrived."

It was Chen Xie.

"They’ve come quite quickly."

The smile on Wenping’s face carried a trace of mockery.

But it’s expected; Zi Ran defeated the Thousand Crafts Sect’s ten great arts with the Vortex New Dao, a sect that had suppressed them for nearly two hundred years.

Chen Xie continued, "Three people came, a Vice Palace Master from Zeming Palace, Elder You Yue, and Elder Mingzhu, the biological mother of Master Zi Ran."

"Withdraw the Black Shadow, there’s no need to continue monitoring them. Once Master Zi Ran emerges from the Vortex Art Palace, inform her of this. Whether she wishes to see them or not is her decision." For those from Zeming Palace, Wenping’s thoughts were straightforward.

If Master Zi Ran doesn’t wish to see them and they insist on bothering her, they shouldn’t blame him for being impolite.

"Sect Leader, there’s one more matter."

"What is it?"

"Elder Wood Dragon has entered Wuyou Swamp and is on the way to the Howling Abyss, he should arrive in roughly a quarter of an hour."

...

Wuyou Swamp.

Why is it called Wuyou?

Because entering it is a one in ten thousand chance of survival, thus no worries.

If one perishes, what worries could they have?

The dangers within are imaginable, but to Wood Dragon, these are child’s play.

Wood Dragon kept in mind Weisheng Xingyu’s advice to stay low-key, thus he did not fly using his Cyan Dragon Body; instead, he flew in human form, concealing his Qi and maintaining low altitude.

Yet he was unaware.

In Wuyou Swamp, flying is considered a high-profile act.

Although the Swamp is perilous, it is a Holy Land for cultivation and training, with abundant celestial materials and treasures gathering many people. Whether in the Mountain Suppression Realm or Earth Unrestricted, everyone treads carefully in Wuyou Swamp.

At this moment, deep within the Swamp, a treasure-seeking squad composed entirely of Earth Unrestricted Lower Realm experts is progressing slowly with their backs to each other.

Walking and talking simultaneously.

"Have you heard?"

"Heard what?"

"The Battle Division suffered defeat in Mitian City, reportedly losing hundreds of thousands of Vanguard Army soldiers, and over twenty Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts."

"No way? Has You Country started a new battlefield and directly attacked?"

"Impossible. Starting a new war zone, You Country is crazy?"

"It’s not You Country. Apparently, it was an expedition against a sect force, but the opposition was unexpectedly strong. Even with five War Gods simultaneously dispatched from the Battle Division, they couldn’t prevail, and two were lost. Ultimately, Battle Division Elder Jiang personally intervened to repel them."

"Sect force?"

"Near Mitian City, how could such a powerful sect force exist?"

The group whispered in discussion, due to incomplete information acquisition, they could only guess while conversing.

Suddenly, the swamp beneath trembled.

The group immediately halted, tightly clustering together.

"A thousand miles ahead, there’s a Marsh Demon comparable to Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm!"

"Which squad is so unlucky to have been caught by it?" Typically, Marsh Demons lurk beneath the swamp, and unless one is of the same realm, perception cannot detect its presence. When people pass by, it emerges like death itself.

Squads like theirs face almost certain death.

At this moment, a brilliant streak suddenly shot across the sky.

"Who’d fly here so recklessly?" Just as the words were spoken, several massive Marsh Demons suddenly leapt skyward, lunging at the person in the heavens.

"Courting death!"

They couldn’t help but grumble.

Then they witnessed an unforgettable scene.

Boom—

A single slap.

The person in the sky merely threw a slap.

The head of a Marsh Demon comparable to Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm exploded.

Blood and flesh scattered everywhere, the remaining half body plunged into the swamp with a splash, gradually sinking into the mire.

"Really too talkative."

They chimed in unison and then quickly slapped their own mouths several times in reprimand.

This kind of scene repeated over ten times.

Because Marsh Demons continued surging from the swamp to attack Wood Dragon in the sky.

Of course, Wood Dragon remained low-key.

Just one slap!

Strike and move!

Soon after, the Howling Abyss came into view.

From a distance, Wood Dragon heard the howling cries from ahead, tinged with emotion as if people were wailing in intense sorrow.

These cries emanated from a black-red subterranean fissure a kilometer away, evoking the sensation of Hell beneath.

When Wood Dragon arrived at its edge, all sense of living beings had vanished.

Looking down, it was bottomless.

Looking around, the lines of the Abyss extend tens of thousands of meters long.

Without hesitation, Wood Dragon leaped downward.

Allowing himself to endlessly fall until reaching the bottom, a process that lasted half a quarter of an hour.

In the depths of the Howling Abyss, the tormenting howls were even more intense, disrupting the mind.

Naturally, this posed no challenge to Wood Dragon.

"Was there not supposed to be a Demon Ancestor guarding here?"

Upon reaching the bottom, Wood Dragon rose from a heap of black-red rocks, puzzledly observing his surroundings.

Wood Dragon discovered not only the absence of a Demon Ancestor but the lack of any demons. The Howling Abyss seemed to be a bottomless path leading underground, with routes at either end leading to different places.

Wood Dragon arbitrarily chose a direction and slowly flew forward, yet he never encountered the Demon Ancestor mentioned by Chen Xie, nor did he see a single demon.

"Is this auspicious then?"

Well then.

Isn’t the Howling Abyss reputed as one of the ten most dangerous places?

He saw no danger whatsoever!

But continuing further inward, descending deeper, unable to see the sky overhead and surrounded by rock walls, Wood Dragon suddenly sensed numerous demons, hearing their roaring cries echoing like ocean waves.

Wood Dragon immediately flew towards the sound, spotting two massive demon forces engaged in a fierce battle.

Ninety percent of them were Demon Kings.

The remaining ten percent were Demon Gods.

Their numbers vast!

Leading each side were two Demon Ancestors!

"Is this what Elder Chen mentioned, the Demon Ancestors guarding the Howling Abyss and the demons below?"

Wood Dragon’s heart couldn’t help but sigh, indeed auspicious, arriving just in time for the clash between two warring demon groups, and it seems the battle had only begun, not many demon corpses littered the ground—the foresight from Elder Weisheng was truly astonishing!

(Tonight, not in the best condition...

Couldn’t reach ten thousand words...

Oh well...

See you tomorrow...)
