System's Super Sect Chapter 1225 - 1077: So You’re This Afraid of Death

But what Yan Lai said about that bloody fact was indeed very true.

If they killed Luo Yeguifeng out of grief and anger, then the trouble would indeed become huge.

Because no matter how perfectly it is done, there will always be some clues left behind.

After saying this, Yan Lai immediately looked angrily at Celestial String, then said furiously, "You, come with me, I have something to tell you."

"Do you believe those last words yourself?" Celestial String gave Yan Lai a helpless look and then followed Yan Lai off the dueling platform.

After making sure they were far enough from the dueling platform, Yan Lai suddenly turned around and shouted, "Celestial String, are you brainless?"

"What?"

Celestial String looked at Yan Lai, bewildered.

Yan Lai snarled again, "If you’re not out of your mind, why are you doing this for the Immortal Sect, are you so eager to die?"

Upon hearing this, Celestial String paused for a moment, then recently showed a faint smile, a mix of self-mockery and ridicule towards Yan Lai.

"So you’re actually afraid of death."

"You..."

Yan Lai was about to retort, but Celestial String interrupted him.

"Since you’re afraid of death, just hide away. At any rate, this time, I’m not escaping. Staying hidden in the red-light district, in the end, I can’t hide forever. By the way, Yan Lai, the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect entrusted me to bring a message to you and everyone: whoever dares to save Luo Yeguifeng, will be the next Xinghai Yue. If you don’t believe it... you can try."

After saying this, Celestial String no longer paid attention to Yan Lai.

The playful disgust that once was on his face was now real.

At this moment, he also made a decision, to follow Wen Pingchong.

Even if it means death!

...

Immortal Sect.

Outside the Vortex Art Palace.

Chen Xie, who had been waiting outside the Vortex Art Palace for a long time, finally saw Zi Ran come out, immediately feeling overwhelming joy as he went over.

"Master Zi Ran, you finally came out."

Zi Ran smiled and said, "What’s the matter, Elder Chen?"

"Xinghai Yue is dead."

"Hmm?"

Zi Ran showed a puzzled expression.

Chen Xie straightforwardly said, "Today she personally brought people to the Purple Treasure Pavilion. The Sect Leader told her to get lost, but she was too slow, so the Sect Leader killed her. That Elder Pearl, the same. But the Sect Leader didn’t take her life, just cut off her two arms."

"How could I be worthy of this..."

Zi Ran took a deep breath, waves stirring in her heart.

When she joined the Sect, she was only a Three-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan.

The Sect Leader provided all the celestial materials for her to forge her vortex skills, and even opened the Vortex Art Palace for her. Now, he even killed the Vice Palace Master of Zeming Palace for her, becoming mortal enemies with Zeming Palace. All of these made her wonder what she did to deserve the Sect Leader treat her this way?

Chen Xie chuckled and said, "You know the Sect Leader’s temperament. If he sees someone he’s displeased with, he’ll kill them without hesitation, and no one can stop him. We’ve already offended the Thousand Crafts Sect; what difference does one more Zeming Palace make?"

"Is the Sect Leader in the Sect right now?"

"No, the Sect Leader is at the Purple Treasure Pavilion. By the way, Master Zi Ran, there’s another matter. Today, Xinghai Yue originally forced Elder You Yue to come and see you, hoping to persuade you by invoking feelings to recognize your ancestry, but Elder You Yue resolutely refused. The Sect Leader said you should see Elder You Yue in case you regret it in the future."

"The Ancestor doesn’t have much time left, and I actually want to see her too. But I know if I see my grandmother, it will only bring a lot of trouble for the Immortal Sect and myself."

Zi Ran sighed heavily, tears already welling up in her eyes.

Getting older.

Easily becoming sentimental.

Chen Xie replied, "The Sect Leader said that if they try any more tricks, they won’t leave Divine Flight City alive."

"The Sect Leader’s kindness, I can’t repay in this life."

"Master Zi Ran, you overstate it. Shall we go to the Purple Treasure Pavilion? I’ll arrange for Elder You Yue to be brought there."

"I’ll go see her personally."

Zi Ran wiped the tears from her eyes, her heart formed the thought of seeing her grandmother one last time.

After one last time, there would be no further entanglement.

Because if she continued to have contact with her grandmother afterwards, it would only bring trouble back to the Immortal Sect and the Sect Leader.

Although she had affection for her grandmother, she didn’t want to bring more trouble to the Immortal Sect because of herself.

She believed her grandmother would understand her.

...

Purple Treasure Pavilion.

Hastily returning to the Purple Treasure Pavilion, Celestial String eagerly went up to the top floor, and upon seeing Wen Pingchong, began excitedly recounting what he saw earlier.

"Sect Leader Wen, you have no idea, when the blindfolded, perception-sealed Luo Yeguifeng was tied to the dueling platform, how many people’s eyes burned with murderous intent; I bet someone won’t be able to resist assassinating him tonight."

"Did you tell Yan Lai what I said?"

"I did."

Mentioning Yan Lai, Celestial String felt a bit uncomfortable inside.

After all, they had been friends for many years.

In the end, they still parted ways.

"Then let’s go, go do whatever needs to be done."

"Huh?"

Celestial String was stunned.

Wen Ping continued, "I have nothing for you to do here. So just go back to your Red-Light District."

"Not going back."

Celestial String waved his hand dismissively.

"Sweet and Little Mian, you’re just abandoning them?" Wen Ping looked at Celestial String with a smile that wasn’t a smile, then couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

Celestial String’s old face almost turned red again, and he quickly retorted, "It’s not abandoning, it’s just that I have found a direction now, and won’t hide there anymore."

"What direction?"

"To follow Sect Leader Wen."

After saying that, Celestial String chuckled.

"Then tell me, why did you keep hiding in the Red-Light District before?" Wen Ping was naturally very delighted to have a Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse pledge allegiance. However, he was more concerned about why Celestial String had been hiding and wallowing in the Red-Light District.

"Actually, it’s just that I was disappointed with this world." Celestial String smiled wryly, a bit of bitterness appearing recently, but then he looked at Wen Ping with excitement, "However, the appearance of Sect Leader Wen made me feel a glimmer of hope."

"Don’t... our Immortal Sect has no ambition to save the world."

"Sect Leader Wen, I can see it clearly, you may not want to save the world, but you have ambitions not less than saving the world. I could tell from Jinzhilou and the Purple Treasure Pavilion!"

"What ambition? It’s just that if people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. If people do offend me, I can only kill them. Now that you want to join the Immortal Sect, what about the Wangshen Pavilion?"

"I’ll join the Immortal Sect."

"That I wouldn’t want."

"Then let it be on its own, if Sect Leader Wen doesn’t allow it, I’ll cut ties with them. If Sect Leader Wen allows, I’ll continue to hang a new title there, being a Guest Minister, as a way to not fail Wangshen Pavilion’s past cultivation."

"Really want to join the Sect?"

Wen Ping looked seriously at Celestial String.

Celestial String also responded seriously, "Really want to!"

"Alright, then I’ll accept you, and I also allow you to continue to hang a Guest Minister’s title at Wangshen Pavilion, but remember to tell Wangshen Pavilion people, Immortal Sect is Immortal Sect, Wangshen Pavilion is Wangshen Pavilion." Wen Ping got up and patted Celestial String on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Sect Leader Wen!"

Celestial String was delighted.

Immediately bowed in salute!

At this moment, a beam of white light suddenly landed at the corridor above Purple Treasure Pavilion.

Chen Xie and Zi Ran came out.

"Sect Leader!"

"Senior Celestial String!"

Both saluted in unison.

Wen Ping waved at Chen Xie and said, "You’re just in time, take Celestial String back to the Sect after the auction ends."

"Huh?"

Chen Xie was bewildered.

"He just joined the Immortal Sect."

Upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, Chen Xie’s face immediately lit up with joy.

Good heavens!

A Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse has joined the Sect!

The overall power of the Immortal Sect has just soared tremendously!

The Sect Leader is really awesome, even managing to get Celestial String into the Immortal Sect.

Wait a minute.

This ’getting in’ might not be the correct term.

At this moment, Wen Ping spoke again, "Master Zi Ran, from now on he’ll follow you in the Purple Treasure Pavilion, as your assistant."

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Zi Ran hurriedly bowed in salute.

The Sect Leader treats her exceedingly well.

Such a small place like the Purple Treasure Pavilion actually gets a Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse stationed there.

This treatment, Jinzhilou doesn’t even have!

"Master Zi Ran, please take care of me in the future." Celestial String followed up with a slight bow to Master Zi Ran.

"Not at all, not at all." Zi Ran laughed.

Meanwhile, Chen Xie, standing nearby.

Was extremely envious.

Even Purple Treasure Pavilion has a Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse stationed there.

But he was certain that the Sect Leader would not shortchange Jinzhilou either, definitely dispatch a more powerful Celestial Unrestricted to assist him.

He believes!

He is convinced!

(Hehe.

That’s 4000 words for today.

Apologies.
