System's Super Sect Chapter 1283 - 1125: Wen Ping’s Unease
Previously on System's Super Sect...
As the conversation unfolded between the elderly man and the young one, the people of Celestial Sun City focused their gaze there, filled with deep reverence and anticipation.
Celestial Unrestricted!
In the hearts of all the people of Celestial Sun City, it represented the pinnacle of power in the Primordial Yang Domain, and even in Heaven-Gazing Gorge, the pinnacle of strength.
On normal days, the Celestial Unrestricted experts were lofty, like seeing the head of a divine dragon without glimpsing the tail.
Even if one were fortunate enough to see them normally, it would be only from afar, without the chance to approach.
But now, standing before them were a full twelve Celestial Unrestricted experts!
Of course, this wasn’t the primary reason for their shock, especially considering the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking period, where seeing King-Sealing experts was quite reasonable.
Yet, all twelve Celestial Unrestricted experts awaited one individual together!
This was unheard of!
"Twelve Celestial Unrestricted experts, countless Earth Unrestricted experts, all awaiting one person’s arrival. What a magnificent scene!"
"I’ve lived over a century, have spent seventy to eighty years in Celestial Sun City, but it’s my first time witnessing such a breathtaking scene."
"Who wouldn’t agree? And the Great Domain Master himself is there to welcome, truly giving great respect, even for King-Sealing experts it’s so."
"King-Sealing? Brother, don’t joke, when Wuqi King visits, it’s not such a grand affair. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Why?"
"Don’t leave us hanging!"
"Because the Immortal Sect Leader, Wen Ping, is just a hair’s breadth away from Sealing King, and his domain includes the Absolutely-Knowable Tower and the Purple Treasure Pavilion. In the future, he may play an important role in You Country and even in Heaven-Gazing Gorge. Ordinary King-Sealing experts simply cannot compare."
"Brother, that’s quite daring to say, brave indeed!"
...
The people discussed and marveled.
The twelve Celestial Unrestricted experts continued to wait, none leaving due to impatience.
No other reason.
Only because the power of the Immortal Sect and its leader’s strength and future were evident.
Isn’t this the time to foster good relations, rather than waiting until the Immortal Sect Leader has sealed as a king to start seeking favor?
Boom——
White light fell explosively.
It landed a hundred meters away from Yun Liao.
"Welcome Sect Leader!"
Yun Liao first bowed in salute.
The other Immortal Sect disciples immediately followed.
"Welcome Sect Leader!"
"Welcome Sect Leader!"
"Welcome Sect Leader!"
As Yun Liao’s voice faded, everyone realized.
The Immortal Sect Leader!
He had arrived!
Within the white light, Wen Ping walked out calmly, his serene eyes sweeping across everyone, eventually resting on Yun Liao and the others.
"Rise."
After speaking, Yun Liao and the others slowly stood straight, firmly standing in the courtyard, like tall pines and green bamboo.
In the next moment.
Si Haixian’s voice echoed in the air.
"Brother Wen, you really kept me waiting!"
Seeing Si Haixian address him so warmly, Wen Ping didn’t stand on ceremony, immediately showing a hint of a smile as he responded, "There were some minor matters at the Sect, so I came late. Besides, I’m not competing, arriving early would usurp the host’s role."
"When you put it that way, your late arrival as host is actually fitting?" Si Haixian was almost amused by Wen Ping’s words.
Also quite helpless.
Of the Celestial Unrestricted, others weren’t qualified to host, couldn’t seize the role.
Wen Ping got it, but didn’t mind it at all.
Really can’t overthink it, the more you think, the stranger it feels.
"I never said I’d arrive early." Wen Ping responded with a smile.
Hearing this, Si Haixian smiled wryly, saying, "You... Brother Wen, let’s skip the small talk. Since you don’t favor banquets, we’ll skip the welcome feast. But later, you must come to my Domain Lord’s Mansion; there’s something we need to discuss."
"What?"
At this late night.
What’s up with that?
Can’t it wait till daylight?
Si Haixian explained, "It’s regarding the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking event. But it’s not convenient to discuss here; we’ll talk later."
"About that, sure, I’ll go later."
Wen Ping nodded.
After Si Haixian spoke, he didn’t linger, instructing Yan Lai briefly before leaving directly, seemingly having many urgent matters on hand.
Once Si Haixian left, other Celestial Unrestricted experts eagerly approached Wen Ping to greet him, seeking to get acquainted.
It’s often said, familiar faces make things easier.
The Purple Treasure Pavilion’s Vortex Map is difficult to purchase, so special; a three-year-old could see it, let alone these Celestial Unrestricted experts.
However, faced with the enthusiasm of these mysterious Celestial Unrestricted experts, Wen Ping didn’t feel particularly happy, but rather felt sentimental, realizing he had underestimated the deep-rooted foundation of the Primordial Yang Domain.
Originally, he thought that the Primordial Yang Domain only had the Long Family, the Hope God Pavilion, the Divine Star Sea Sect, and the Celestial Extinction City as its four six-star influences, with Celestial Unrestricted experts being countable on one hand.
Unexpectedly, today, there were actually eight or nine unfamiliar faces.
After absentmindedly exchanging a simple greeting, Wen Ping’s gaze fell on the old acquaintance Yan Lai, the City Lord of Divine Flight City.
Yan Lai immediately responded to Wen Ping’s gaze with a smile, saying, "Sect Leader Wen, it’s been a few days, I hope everything is well."
"Rest assured, I will definitely visit Divine Flight City again when there’s an opportunity." Once the Main Hall upgrade is complete, Wen Ping plans to allocate some of the new territory to Divine Flight City.
After all, Divine Flight City is the economic center of the Primordial Yang Domain.
However, upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, Yan Lai’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he nodded stiffly, quickly changing the topic, "Sect Leader Wen, why did you come alone?"
"It’s not like I’m here to fight; one Sect Leader coming alone should suffice." Wen Ping replied jokingly, but there was underlying meaning behind the speaker’s words.
"That’s true, indeed."
Yan Lai chuckled foolishly.
Indeed, isn’t it more convenient for Wen Ping to come alone?
The more people from the Immortal Sect that come, the more troublesome it might be.
After exchanging two pleasantries with Yan Lai, Wen Ping’s gaze involuntarily fell on the members of the Long Family because he had noticed a problem.
Quite a few people from the Long Family had arrived.
But the one person he most wanted to see was missing.
Where’s Mother?
Why didn’t she come?
When Wen Ping harbored such doubts in his heart, he completely lost interest in exchanging pleasantries with these high-ranking Celestial Unrestricted experts from the Primordial Yang Domain.
Yan Lai noticed Wen Ping’s absent-mindedness, so he didn’t continue to be verbose, "Sect Leader Wen, if you have matters to attend to, please proceed, and we’ll meet later at the Domain Lord’s Mansion."
Seeing Yan Lai speak like this, the others.
Also declined to continue entangling further, immediately bidding farewell with clasped hands.
"See you later!"
Having said that, Wen Ping casually cupped his fist towards Yan Lai and the others, and then quickly moved to stand before the Long Family members, startling them greatly.
"Sect Leader Wen!"
"Sect Leader Wen!"
Long Haomiao hurriedly led the elders forward to greet him with bows.
When Wen Ping moved, everyone’s gaze fell on the Long Family.
Seeing that Wen Ping wasn’t angry, many Celestial Unrestricted experts, along with people from other influences, cast envious glances at the Long Family.
The Long Family had found a formidable ally!
The Long Family, already deeply rooted, now walked so closely with the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect, it would surely progress further in the future.
Meanwhile, as the Long Family members saluted, Wen Ping’s gaze naturally landed on Long Ye.
Long Ye immediately understood and quickly said, "She’s here; she has arrived."
"Take me to her!"
Wen Ping felt his heart start to pound uncontrollably.
Excited?
Uneasy?
Ever since he had trained at the Thousand Layers, he hadn’t felt this complex mix of emotions for a long time.
Because back then, when he only wanted to be a second-generation playboy Sect member, all the troubles he’d accidentally caused were cleaned up by this mother figure.
That’s why he felt closer to his mother.
"Sect Leader Wen, please follow me." Long Ye immediately set off, disregarding the puzzled glances from others, heading towards the Long Family’s lodging at Celestial Sun City.
Wen Ping quickly followed.
This scene, witnessed by Celestial Sun City and many Celestial Unrestricted experts, brought surprise while simultaneously raising questions.
Wen Ping was actually not going to the Domain Lord’s Mansion first to discuss major issues like the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, but instead followed the Long Family members.
Just what is the relationship between the Long Family and the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect?
Who is the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect going to meet?
At this moment, only Yun Liao knew the inside story.
"Everyone, go rest and prepare for tomorrow’s Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking."
Yun Liao directly dismissed the crowd.
The Sect Leader definitely wouldn’t be returning tonight.
Because the Sect Leader had been waiting for this day for a long time.
However, those who didn’t know the reason stood there feeling uneasy.
Exactly, it was Long Haomiao and others!
They had been discussing the Immortal Sect’s affairs for days, unanimously deciding to reconcile and get closer to the Immortal Sect.
But they hadn’t found a way to reconcile yet?
Why did the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect suddenly come knocking?
Could it be that Long Ye had caused trouble with the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect?
At this thought, especially when Long Haomiao voiced this possibility, the faces of many elders changed abruptly, and uneasiness turned into panic.
"Follow quickly!"
"Follow quickly!"
Seeing the situation deteriorate, Long Haomiao hurriedly shouted, "Go find my mother; she should be accompanying the wife of the Great Domain Master, selecting clothes for tomorrow. If Long Ye really offended the Sect Leader Wen, perhaps only my mother can help us."
