System's Super Sect Chapter 1229 - 1079: Yan Lai on Edge

However, the steps of leaving the Zeming Trading Company were different.

Each step was like the wind.

And carried an unwavering resolve to never look back!

Qing Qian saw this, and a trace of helplessness surfaced in her eyes.

Of course.

The helplessness of Qing Qian was more due to the arrival and thoughts of the Star Vice Palace Master and Elder Mingzhu.

Clearly, if only Elder You Yue had come, Zi Ran might very well recognize his ancestry and return to his sect because of Elder You Yue. Even if he didn’t do so immediately, he would certainly find a way to send Elder You Yue off in her last journey, thereby strengthening ties with Zeming Palace.

Afterward, Zeming Palace merely needed to assist the Purple Treasure Pavilion and Zi Ran frequently to earn Zi Ran master’s favor.

Yet, Star Vice Palace Master simply didn’t do that; instead, she self-righteously brought Elder Mingzhu along, not only that, she also threatened Elder You Yue to assist her.

Now look.

She died under the Sect Leader’s sword in the Immortal Sect, and Elder You Yue uttered words to make Zi Ran promise to never return to Zeming Palace.

Everything is irreversible now.

Zeming Palace and Immortal Sect are destined to be enemies!

Once war breaks out between the two sides, the fastest one to die would definitely be me, without any backing!

"Master Zi Ran, Senior Celestial String, everyone, take care on your way..." Qing Qian made a final struggle, attempting to leave a favorable impression in the hearts of Celestial String and Zi Ran.

However, there was no response.

After Zi Ran walked casually out, Celestial String followed closely behind. Before leaving the Zeming Trading Company, he suddenly stopped, glanced straightforward at Yan Lai in the sky.

Yan Lai also stared back at him.

The two looked at each other in the sky, their eyes filled with indifference.

No longer the brilliance of the past.

After staring in silence for a few breaths, Celestial String transformed into a streaking rainbow heading towards the Purple Treasure Pavilion along with Zi Ran and others.

After Zi Ran and Celestial String’s party left Zeming Trading Company, Yan Lai felt a weight lift off his heart.

Though the weight was lifted, he was still brooding over Celestial String’s earlier words and his persistence.

Displeased with this, displeased with that.

Yet, ultimately, doing nothing.

He never expected Celestial String, as a friend, to view him this way all these years.

It truly validated Celestial String’s earlier words; they were indeed not on the same path.

Celestial String was too presumptuous.

Take the case of Luo Ye Gui Feng, whom he loathed bitterly, could he kill him?

No, he could not!

Because if he recklessly killed Luo Ye Gui Feng, would the Thousand Crafts Sect let it go? Although they wouldn’t dare openly kill him, with the methods of the Thousand Crafts Sect, there are a hundred ways to secretly retaliate, implicating his family and loved ones.

They are all innocent.

So now he still needs to assign guards for Luo Ye Gui Feng, despite the decision being truly helpless and painful.

"Act wisely, before the Great Domain Master arrives, if you still act recklessly, don’t blame me for dying by the hand of the Immortal Sect!"

After collecting his thoughts, Yan Lai left Qing Qian and others a cold sentence, then transformed into a streak of light and returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Once Yan Lai left, spectators outside Zeming Trading Company, having not witnessed the dramatic scene they anticipated, sighed and prepared to disperse.

But as they were about to leave, a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted Expert, who came to watch, suddenly frowned and speculated: "Why do I feel that the Immortal Sect expert who just stared at the City Lord Yan Lai looked familiar... Hang on, wasn’t that Senior Celestial String?"

With those words, gasps erupted all around.

"Master, did you see wrong?"

"Yes, Master, wasn’t the expert from the Immortal Sect wearing Immortal Sect attire? How could Senior Celestial String be wearing that?"

"Exactly."

Several disciples by his side sprang up in shock, hastily gazing in the direction Celestial String departed, seemingly searching for something.

But, they saw nothing.

The Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted Expert, faced with his disciples’ doubts, merely shook his head. After pondering awhile, his tone became resolute, "You lot of brats, how could Master be mistaken? Master is certain that he didn’t misjudge, it was indeed Senior Celestial String from the Vortex Pavilion! But why is he wearing Immortal Sect attire?"

The dialogue between master and disciples in the tall building immediately attracted the attention of many.

Originally, these master and disciples were already prominent figures in the Primordial Yang Domain for most people.

Now their conversation included the Primordial Yang Domain’s apex figure—a Celestial Unrestricted Expert, Celestial String—making it undoubtedly more sensational, rapidly drawing those who were about to leave due to lack of spectacle.

Seeing the gathering crowd growing larger, the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted Expert made a bold conjecture, "If I’m not mistaken, Senior Celestial String donning Immortal Sect attire could only mean one thing—he has joined the Immortal Sect!"

Upon saying this, it’s shocking to everyone.

Celestial String joined the Immortal Sect?

Impossible, right?

Isn’t Senior Celestial String from the Vortex Pavilion?

Nobody dared to believe his conjecture.

Because it’s simply too astonishing.

"No way?"

"But Senior Celestial String is from the Vortex Pavilion, how could the Vortex Pavilion allow him to join the Immortal Sect?"

"Friend, you’re speaking nonsense. How could anyone stop a Celestial Unrestricted Expert from going anywhere they wish?"

"True, no one can stop him, but after the Vortex Duel, wasn’t the Vortex Divine Artisan supposed to join the Immortal Sect? How could it be Senior Celestial String, this is too sudden. Just a few days ago, Senior Celestial String even had friction with the Immortal Sect Sect Leader."

With discussions intensifying, the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted Expert upstairs angrily replied, "What are you guessing foolishly, if you don’t believe the old man’s words, go to the Purple Treasure Pavilion and check! The old man’s eyes and perception cannot be mistaken, it was indeed Senior Celestial String."

Upon his words, the crowd quickly apologized and hurried toward the Purple Treasure Pavilion.

In the sky, a vast throng flew toward the Six-sided Street.

Along the way, they immediately attracted more people.

Near the Six-sided Street, curiosity had already gathered over a thousand Earth Unrestricted Experts.

This spectacle would make anyone unaware think that the Immortal Sect and Thousand Crafts Sect had once again clashed, surprising Yan Lai who had just returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Just sat down, barely warming the seat, Yan Lai could only leave the City Lord’s Mansion, wary of the Immortal Sect causing further trouble.

The Long Family, Vortex Pavilion, and Celestial Extinction City, three of the four six-star forces, had all arrived.

As for the Star Sea Sect.

Their Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted Expert had died, and they no longer had any interest in watching the spectacle.

Even if Celestial Unrestricted Experts battled above Divine Flight City, they were in no mood to watch the show.

"Xu Nian, let me ask you, are you nervous?" In the sky, when the three forces met, Feng Yong from Celestial Extinction City asked gleefully.

But Xu Nian was in no mood to engage with Feng Yong at the moment.

She was here to verify!

She refused to believe that Senior Celestial String would abandon the Vortex Pavilion and join the Immortal Sect!

Because if he were to, Senior Celestial String would have done so long ago.

Previously, when You Country recruited him, he didn’t go.

And the most fearsome aspect is if Senior Celestial String departed from the Vortex Pavilion, it would be a massive blow to Vortex Pavilion.

Though Vortex Pavilion developed well without Senior Celestial String over these years, having a sword and having none are different matters.

Senior Celestial String is that sword!

(Today, there was some writer’s block...

words in five hours.

I’m sorry.

I truly gave it my all...

But once I sat down, I didn’t know what to write.

Clearly, I’ve outlined the story, know what should happen next, but still can’t write the content.)
