System's Super Sect Chapter 1254 - 1102: The Immortal Sect’s Centuries-Old Scheme

At this moment, upon hearing Si Haixian mention Feng Qian, everyone watching the Zeming Trading Company’s ruins was stunned.

"Feng Qian?"

"Did the Great Domain Master just mention Feng Qian?"

"Isn’t Feng Qian dead? How could it be him who destroyed the Zeming Trading Company?"

The crowd couldn’t help but whisper to each other, then watched as Si Haixian turned into a streak and swiftly flew toward the Thousand Crafts Sect’s premises.

The crowd hurriedly followed suit.

Upon arriving at the Thousand Crafts Sect’s premises, facing the devastation, Yan Lai quickly reported to Si Haixian, "Domain Master, it’s Bei Tianhan’s Water Cold Sword Intent. Unless Bei Tianhan passed it to another Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm expert, there’s a 90% chance it was Bei Tianhan who acted! The remaining possibility is that a Vortex Tower infiltrator is masquerading as Bei Tianhan, but this chance is negligible. Though this once happened, you were still in Divine Flight City; even if there were such a powerful Vortex Tower infiltrator, it’s unlikely they would act now."

"It’s indeed strange, weren’t both Bei Tianhan and Feng Qian killed by the Wenping Sword?" Si Haixian frowned, puzzled.

Yan Lai hurriedly asked, "Are you saying it was Feng Qian who destroyed Zeming Palace Trading Company?"

"Correct. I sensed the Qi of the Sealing Killing Vein Skill. Your analysis is similar; there’s also a 90% chance Feng Qian acted."

"But weren’t they dead?"

Yan Lai was momentarily puzzled.

While the two were confused, other Heaven Unrestricted experts, as well as people from the Long Family, Vortex Pavilion, and other forces, were abuzz with discussion.

Because Feng Qian and Bei Tianhan were already dead.

How could the deceased take action?

If the Great Domain Master and City Lord Yan Lai’s sense wasn’t wrong, it would imply that neither had actually died at the hands of the Immortal Sect Leader.

But is that possible?

If Feng Qian weren’t dead, why did he miss the auction?

Bei Tianhan’s death by the Wenping Sword was witnessed by them.

At this moment, a Divine Shadow Army commander hurried over from the crowd, then kneeled on one knee before Si Haixian and Yan Lai.

"Reporting to the Great Domain Master and Yan City Lord, I just queried the witnesses. They claim to have heard what Senior Wind Immortal Skill shouted while fleeing Divine Flight City."

"What did they say?" Si Haixian quickly asked.

"They heard Senior Wind Immortal Skill cursing loudly, ’Bei Tianhan, you and Zeming Palace are truly despicable scoundrels!’ while fleeing Divine Flight City," the commander continued, "The second sentence was— ’Bei Tianhan, you despicable scoundrel, you actually conspired with the Immortal Sect Leader to feign death and deceive our Thousand Crafts Sect. I will definitely charge Zeming Palace and take the lives of everyone in your palace!’"

Hearing this, Yan Lai hurriedly questioned again, "Have you thoroughly questioned them?"

He knew people’s tendency to embellish stories when relaying messages, saying things that never actually happened.

The Divine Shadow Army commander immediately affirmed, "Thoroughly questioned, and over a hundred people heard almost the same two sentences!"

With these words, Si Haixian and Yan Lai both fell into silence.

Could Bei Tianhan really be faking his death?

But why would Bei Tianhan do such a thing?

Could it be that he was part of the Immortal Sect all along?

If so, then was Feng Qian indeed not dead either?

Was he also part of the Immortal Sect?

Impossible, right?

If both were members of the Immortal Sect, wouldn’t that mean the Immortal Sect had been planning in You Country for centuries?

Because both Feng Qian and Bei Tianhan had been in the Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm for two to three hundred years, with unlimited potential.

Feng Qian had a future 90% probability of Sealing King status.

Bei Tianhan was one of the candidates for the Palace Master of Zeming Palace.

Given such boundless futures, why would they take the risk to join a newly risen Immortal Sect like Celestial String?

Then there could only be one possibility.

Feng Qian and Bei Tianhan were both part of the Immortal Sect before becoming Heaven Unrestricted; they were both long-standing plants of the Immortal Sect.

Thinking this, Si Haixian felt inwardly alarmed.

Connecting all-knowing Jin Zhilou, Si Haixian became more convinced that his guess was correct.

This was all the layout of the Immortal Sect!

However, Yan Lai next to him didn’t think as much; he just felt there was a 90% chance that Feng Qian and Bei Tianhan had already defected to the Immortal Sect.

"Domain Master, it seems we were played. Whether it’s Feng Qian or Bei Tianhan, it was all just a play. A show the Immortal Sect deliberately staged for us!"

Yan Lai sighed.

Upon hearing it, everyone else erupted into an uproar.

Si Haixian, seeing this, said nothing further but simply patted Yan Lai’s shoulder and solemnly said, "Yan Lai, tonight’s events aren’t as simple as you think. You stay here to handle the aftermath; I need to go to the Purple Treasure Pavilion."

Now, Si Haixian felt the need to reassess the Immortal Sect.

The Immortal Sect was definitely not newly risen.

The appearance of the Immortal Sect was by no means accidental.

No wonder the Immortal Sect Leader faced the threats of Zeming Palace and Thousand Crafts Sect with confidence, never showing worry on his face.

"Yes!"

Yan Lai nodded.

Immediately, Si Haixian turned into a streak and flew toward the Purple Treasure Pavilion.

After he left, the news of Zeming Trading Company and Thousand Crafts Sect premises being razed spread rapidly in Divine Flight City.

Their demise was nearly equivalent to the annihilation of two six-star influences.

Because, apart from the Long Family, the other three six-star influences in the Primordial Yang Domain were far less deep-rooted than Zeming Trading Company and Thousand Crafts Sect.

...

Purple Treasure Pavilion.

After Wen Ping returned to the Purple Treasure Pavilion, he said to Zi Ran and You Yue, who had been waiting for his return, "From today onwards, there will be no more Zeming Trading Company or Thousand Crafts Sect in Divine Flight City. The development of the Purple Treasure Pavilion is now in your hands."

"Understood!"

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

The two of them responded in succession.

Zi Ran was unfazed, as this was a common occurrence for him.

However, You Yue was different.

The eradication of the Zeming Trading Company and the Thousand Crafts Sect in such a short time was as shocking to her as when she first learned of the existence of the Vortex New Dao.

She finally understood why Zi Ran was so confident.

The Immortal Sect possessed such power.

Indeed, there was no need to fear treacherous people like Mingzhu, because before absolute power, all conspiracies are mere illusions.

At that moment, a brilliant streak flashed across the sky.

It was precisely Si Haixian!

After approaching the Purple Treasure Pavilion, Si Haixian stopped in mid-air not far from the pavilion, gazing at Wen Ping across the hundred-zhang distance.

Wen Ping did not speak.

Si Haixian spoke first, "Sect Leader Wen, you have made quite a splash tonight. Selling the Vortex Map, erasing the presence of the Zeming Trading Company and the Thousand Crafts Sect—these actions are enough to astonish the world!"

"I had no choice. The two factions decided to put aside their grudges and centuries of hatred to unite against my sect’s Purple Treasure Pavilion. As the sect leader, it’s only natural to eliminate such threats in their infancy." Wen Ping spoke frankly to Si Haixian.

There was no use denying it.

The Great Domain Master would find out sooner or later.

As for Wind Immortal Skill, they would surely broadcast tonight’s events widely.

Hearing Wen Ping’s straightforward admission, Si Haixian remained silent for a moment, suppressing his curiosity, and then changed the subject, "Sect Leader Wen, can I meet Feng Qian and Bei Tianhan? The Immortal Sect’s having four members in the Middle Realm truly amazes me."

"Feng Qian and Bei Tianhan have been dead for a long time, haven’t they?" Wen Ping did not intend to acknowledge the existence of Feng Qian and Bei Tianhan.

Because once he admitted it, wouldn’t that mean Wind Immortal Skill had misunderstood for no reason?

Wen Ping still hoped to leverage Wind Immortal Skill’s misunderstanding to provoke a three-way battle among the Zeming Palace, the Thousand Crafts Sect, and Prince Longyang.

At that moment, Si Haixian suddenly erected a sound insulation barrier, encapsulating both himself and Wen Ping within it.

"Since Sect Leader Wen does not wish to admit it, I won’t press the matter. I must say, Sect Leader Wen, your tactics are impressive. Even the Palace Master of Zeming Palace and Prince Longyang would never have guessed. Your trusted aides and prized disciples were actually members of the Immortal Sect all along, going back hundreds of years."

Wen Ping furrowed his brow upon hearing this.

Why is there yet another version?

There was one version with Wind Immortal Skill.

Now, with Si Haixian, another version.

If you’re not writing a book, you’re really wasting your talent.

"I don’t understand what the Great Domain Master is talking about." Wen Ping replied somewhat helplessly, then added, "But I assure the Great Domain Master that whatever I promised will be done. If there’s a Vortex Map or Vortex Killing Artifact for sale, it will definitely be announced in the Immortal Daily ten days to half a month in advance."

"Since Sect Leader Wen doesn’t want to talk about it, I won’t force it. In summary, please believe me, Sect Leader Wen, that I, Si Haixian, am undoubtedly on your side." The less Wen Ping said, the more certain Si Haixian became that the Immortal Sect was anything but simple.

As for Feng Qian and Bei Tianhan.

Si Haixian suspected that the two of them were likely out of the city, still pursuing Wind Immortal Skill.

Given Wen Ping’s character, it would be impossible for him to let Wind Immortal Skill escape alive.

"I trust in the Great Domain Master’s determination, which is why I’m willing to inform you of what Vortex Maps will be at the auction. For anyone else, even a King-Sealing Expert, I wouldn’t bother to engage them." Wen Ping concluded with a smile.

Si Haixian immediately cupped his hands towards Wen Ping and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader Wen, for the information about the Vortex Map. If you have the time, please come to my place for a drink. Even if the wines brewed by the Domain Lord’s Mansion are over a thousand years old, there will surely be plenty."

"Safe travels," Wen Ping gestured a farewell.

Si Haixian did not leave immediately but continued in a deep voice, "I must remind Sect Leader Wen that the King-Sealing Experts behind Zeming Palace are numerous, and those connected to the Thousand Crafts Sect are even more. The appearance of the Vortex New Dao poses a significant threat to them, so they will undoubtedly try to destroy the Purple Treasure Pavilion before the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking ends, preventing you from entering the core of You Country. However, I will return to Celestial Sun City tomorrow to prepare for the upcoming Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, so Sect Leader Wen, do be careful."

Wen Ping’s lips curled into a smile as he replied, "Thank you for the reminder, Great Domain Master. See you in Celestial Sun City!"

Seeing Wen Ping’s smile,

Si Haixian’s conviction only deepened.

The Immortal Sect.

Absolutely not simple!

"See you in Celestial Sun City!" Si Haixian immediately cupped his hands, turned to leave, but then suddenly paused and said to Wen Ping, "If Sect Leader Wen has no other matters, would you spar with me? I want to see whether my Celestial Level Lower Grade Vein Technique in the Transformation Realm is stronger, or if Sect Leader Wen’s swordsmanship, which can instantly defeat a Middle Realm expert, is stronger!"

"I’d rather not,"

Wen Ping showed a difficult expression.

Si Haixian chuckled lightly, "Sect Leader Wen is scared?"

Wen Ping shook his head, uttering five words.

"I’m afraid I’ll kill you by mistake!"

(Night has not broken yet,

so it doesn’t count as the next day.

Hehe.

Second update complete.

Good night, everyone!)
