System's Super Sect Chapter 1237 - 1087: Sudden Backing
Previously on System's Super Sect...
Or perhaps, if I were to duel with Si Haixian using the minor success of Cyan Lotus Sword Intent, could I win?
Si Haixian stood with his hands behind his back, chuckling casually, "Jun Tianyi once said that you are an extremely proud person, with an innate arrogance. Today, seeing you, it’s truly as the reputation suggests—welcoming words on your lips, yet your back straighter than anyone’s."
"Uh..."
Wen Ping was at a loss for what to say.
The Great Domain Master of the Primordial Yang Domain is surprisingly frank.
Of course, to put it harshly, it’s just that he’s not adept at conversation.
Some things are better left unsaid to avoid awkwardness.
But this also shows that the Great Domain Master of the Primordial Yang Domain doesn’t seem to be a difficult person to deal with on the surface.
Because he didn’t immediately give him a blow to establish dominance.
Giving a blow to establish dominance is something that people in power often like to do, but this Great Domain Master did not.
As Wen Ping was unsure of what to say, Si Haixian spoke again, "Sect Leader Wen, no need to worry, I never care much for these rituals. Those who respect me naturally earn my respect; those who do not, bowing is just an act."
"The Great Domain Master is truly an intriguing person."
Wen Ping responded with a smile.
Indeed, the words and actions of Si Haixian had left him with a favorable impression.
Even though he had sent away the people from Celestial Industry, causing them to arrive at Divine Flight City only to find nothing, the root of Si Haixian’s actions was helping him.
Though his motive was to target the Purple Treasure Pavilion, in helping the Immortal Sect, he didn’t ask for them to pay first—this is foresight!
But at this moment, Wen Ping glanced around and noticed that Celestial String was unexpectedly not present. Using his spiritual power, he found Celestial String lying in a room upstairs, his aura weak, with blood coughing so severe it dyed his upper body.
Wen Ping asked H Lan, "I arrived in less than half a moment, why is Celestial String so severely injured?"
Just as H Lan downstairs was about to respond, Si Haixian took over the conversation.
"The one who struck is named Feng Qian, the senior brother of Celestial Industry Divine General. Feng Qian’s power ranks among the top ten of strong figures in the Primordial Yang Domain and Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm. Celestial String is not considered a strong figure in Heaven Unrestricted Lower Realm, but managed to take two punches defensively, and this level of injury is already fortunate."
Having said that, Si Haixian’s gaze fixed on Wen Ping’s face, hoping to see some change.
Fear would do.
Surprise would do.
And yet, Wen Ping remained unfazed, responding without hesitation, "He ranks in the top ten, no wonder Celestial String got hurt like this. Feng Qian, is it? Interesting..."
Because Wen Ping genuinely didn’t want Celestial Industry’s reinforcement to be of poor quality, if a single sword could slash them, it would be too boring.
Since he ranks in the top ten.
Just as he hoped!
After hearing Wen Ping’s words, Si Haixian couldn’t help but smile.
A thought arose naturally.
A peculiar person!
He had originally thought Wen Ping, after knowing Feng Qian’s reputation, would at least frown, given Feng Qian’s infamous name throughout the You Country.
Just the act of tearing apart Heaven Unrestricted made many of its strong figures break into a cold sweat.
Yet Wen Ping not only lacked fear, but there was even a glint of anticipation in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to a duel with Feng Qian.
Though he appreciated Wen Ping’s character, Si Haixian advised against it, "I’ve already dismissed Feng Qian and the others for you, don’t seek trouble with them again; otherwise, if this gets to Prince Longyang, you’ll create trouble all the same. You have enough on your plate already!"
Wen Ping did not respond to Si Haixian’s words.
Because this matter was not negotiable.
Celestial String was beaten; how could he, as the Sect Leader, remain indifferent?
Since he didn’t want to answer, Wen Ping abruptly changed the topic to ask in front of everyone, "Is the Great Domain Master trying to recruit my Immortal Sect?"
Seeing Wen Ping ask this question openly, Si Haixian didn’t bother to hide anymore, frankly stating, "No, the Domain Master simply wants to protect Purple Treasure Pavilion. Purple Treasure Pavilion can usher in a new era, which is exactly what You Country needs right now! However, if Sect Leader Wen no longer brings me new troubles, I can bear those troubles for you."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Purple Treasure Pavilion fell silent.
To bear all troubles!
The Great Domain Master truly treats the Immortal Sect so well?
But the troubles Immortal Sect caused involved Zeming Palace and Thousand Crafts Sect, the former akin to a branch of Prince Longyang’s line, and the latter even stronger than Prince Longyang’s line.
The Great Domain Master just takes it on.
And this was said in front of everyone, meaning there’s no room for backtracking!
Yet, just as everyone thought the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect would readily accept the olive branch, his words astonished everyone again.
"If the Great Domain Master wants the Purple Treasure Pavilion for future use, I advise dropping this notion early. The Purple Treasure Pavilion, whether now or in the future, will treat everyone, every force, equally. To buy a Vortex Map or a Vortex Killing Artifact, one must either get it first or rely on luck for purchasing eligibility—there is no third option."
Unsurprisingly, when Wen Ping spoke those words, the smile on Si Haixian’s face froze abruptly, replaced by a hint of anger.
"Do you know how strong Zeming Palace and Thousand Crafts Sect are, with their resources and support?" Si Haixian asked solemnly, his tone carrying displeasure and a touch of threat.
Wen Ping casually replied, "If I feared them, I would not have killed Xinghai Yue or Lin Yehong."
Upon these words, the entire Purple Treasure Pavilion fell into silence.
So quiet it was chilling.
The entire process lasted ten whole breaths!
This moment felt like an eternity to most people.
However, just as everyone thought the Great Domain Master would become angry, his face cleared of anger in an instant, replaced by a smile.
"Interesting, truly interesting, unyielding and true to a cultivator’s nature. Therefore, it shall be as you say—you can sell as you will, but you must adhere to one condition!"
Wen Ping inquired, "What condition?"
Si Haixian replied, "The condition is quite simple. That is, whenever the Purple Treasure Pavilion sells Vortex Maps or Vortex Killing Artifacts of four vortexes or five vortexes, it must be announced widely in the Immortal Daily at least ten days in advance!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Ping laughed, "Simple!"
This was indeed what he hoped for!
Having spoken, Wen Ping turned, while Si Haixian followed, heading out of the Purple Treasure Pavilion, commanding loudly as he walked, "Yan Lai, send a squad of Divine Shadow Army to station at Sixway Street to guard, and without exception, kill anyone who stirs trouble!"
"Understood!"
Yan Lai nodded and then hurried a few steps to leave the Purple Treasure Pavilion with Si Haixian.
Long Ye and the others immediately followed out and respectfully bid farewell to Si Haixian outside the door.
"Farewell, Great Domain Master!"
"Farewell, Great Domain Master!"
"Farewell, Great Domain Master!"
Wen Ping was no exception, standing outside and waved his hand, saying, "Great Domain Master, take care. Visit us when you have time."
Si Haixian revealed a trace of a helpless smile, then turned back to glance at Wen Ping, advising, "Don’t cause any more trouble! I’ll be on time for the auction."
"Awaiting your arrival!"
Wen Ping responded with a smile.
It’s undeniable, Si Haixian indeed left a good impression on him.
It seems that Si Haixian is broad-minded enough not to demand everyone’s subservience just because they are in the Primordial Yang Domain.
Since someone treats him this way, Wen Ping naturally accepts it.
The war with You Country can be delayed for a day, then by all means, delay it another day. The current Immortal Sect is indeed not strong enough.
"Does this mean I have backing now?" Wen Ping chuckled to himself and then leisurely returned inside the Purple Treasure Pavilion to go to where Celestial String was.
Seeing Wen Ping enter, Celestial String forced himself to get up to greet him.
"Sect Leader."
Wen Ping walked over and held him down, then turned to Zi Ran and said, "Starting today, Celestial Industry and its subordinates, along with Feng Qian and his followers, are permanently banned. They will be forever denied the chance to purchase the Vortex Map and the Vortex Killing Artifact."
"Yes!"
Zi Ran nodded.
Wen Ping then looked at Celestial String and asked, "Two punches ended up like this?"
"That Feng Qian lacks martial ethics, didn’t give me a chance to react, attacked directly the moment we met," Celestial String spoke with pain.
"You’ve encountered a ’villain’ of few words. No wonder it took me less than half a quarter-hour to arrive, yet I still came too late." Wen Ping slowly stood up, pondered for a moment, then reminded again, "Have H Lan go find Huai Ye."
Zi Ran responded, "Sect Leader, I’ve already contacted that girl Huai Ye using the Sound Transmission Stone. She’s currently preparing Spiritual Cuisine."
"Then I leave Celestial String to you."
After speaking, Wen Ping left the room directly and immediately spread out his spiritual power, locking onto Celestial Industry and Feng Qian at the Star Sea Sect’s residence.
Celestial Industry, not worth worrying.
One sword can kill!
However, regarding Feng Qian’s power, Wen Ping is uncertain, because Si Haixian said he is ranked top ten in Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm within You Country.
Being in the top ten must be very strong.
Perfect to try the sword!
The next moment, Wen Ping transformed into a startling flash and flew towards the Star Sea Sect’s residence.
Meanwhile, within the residence, Feng Qian and Celestial Industry were angrily berating Si Haixian.
"This Si Haixian, so biased towards Immortal Sect, it’s truly infuriating."
Celestial Industry said in a deep voice, "Big brother, no need to be upset. Si Haixian, as the Great Domain Master, firmly supports the Immortal Sect. You and I may not continue to trouble Immortal Sect, but the people from Zeming Palace and Thousand Crafts Sect will not be easily provoked. The auction is about to begin, people from Zeming Palace and Thousand Crafts Sect will arrive, if not today, then tomorrow! Even as the Great Domain Master, Si Haixian cannot protect Immortal Sect."
"You make sense, little brother. I want to see how Si Haixian intends to protect Immortal Sect in front of the people from Thousand Crafts Sect and Zeming Palace." Feng Qian angrily slammed the table in front of him.
Boom—
The next moment.
The Star Sea Sect residence collapsed, dozens of houses! Half of the Star Sea Sect’s residence instantly turned into ruins, casualties rapidly mounted to half among its inhabitants, including the house where Feng Qian and Celestial Industry were also forcibly opened a skylight.
"Such gall!"
Feng Qian didn’t think this was caused by his own punch, because he felt a powerful Sword Intent at the Heaven Unrestricted level.
Boom—
Feng Qian rushed skyward, just about to yell angrily, when he saw a cyan brilliance flying outside Divine Flight City.
"Trying to flee!"
Feng Qian shouted angrily and darted out.
Seeing this, Celestial Industry hurriedly followed.
However, when Celestial Industry chased after him, his perception immediately sensed a familiar aura.
It seemed familiar!
"Could it belong to someone from Immortal Sect?"
Celestial Industry first thought of the Sword Demon from Immortal Sect, then showed a look of joy. If it’s really him, he has come like a sheep into the tiger’s mouth.
Today, not even the Great Domain Master can protect him!
After the two chased out of the city, they stopped in mid-air over a plain ten miles outside the city because the cyan brilliance ahead had also stopped.
"Who are you?"
Celestial Industry asked.
But Feng Qian didn’t say a word, opening the Five Veins at once, his body suddenly expanded a few inches, then darted out, "Why ask? Just kill him directly!"
