System's Super Sect Chapter 1288 - 1130: Sect Leader Wen, You Can’t Kill Him
Previously on System's Super Sect...
What does this mean?
Si Haixian faintly sensed something was amiss, forced a slight smile, and diplomatically said, "Brother Jiao, feel free to sit anywhere. Everyone here today is from our Primordial Yang Domain; there’s no distinction of rank among the seats."
Upon saying this, Si Haixian intended to lighten the atmosphere, but unexpectedly, his words only made the tension in the room more palpable.
Jiao Xie dared to say such things in front of Sect Leader Wen!
And he even disregarded Sect Leader Wen!
Everyone began to feel uneasy, closely watching Jiao Xie’s move.
However.
Jiao Xie didn’t make a move at all!
He didn’t go to the vacant seat by the round table.
That seat originally belonged to the Star Sea Sect, but since their greatest supporter had perished at the hands of Wen Ping, the sect leader was too overwhelmed to attend this secret meeting.
Upon seeing this, Yan Lai, the City Lord of Divine Flight City, promptly got up and sat in the seat, apologizing, "Senior Jiao, this seat was actually reserved for you. I assumed you weren’t coming, so I dared to sit here, my apologies."
Si Haixian’s expression gradually turned serious upon witnessing this, yet it was clear he was still forcing a bit of a smile, "Brother Jiao, please sit, we don’t have much time."
After Si Haixian spoke, Jiao Xie remained stationary for about ten breaths before finally stepping towards the seat Yan Lai vacated.
After sitting down, he assumed a superior demeanor and immediately questioned, "You all must know of the Sovereign’s secret decree. Have you come up with a plan yet?"
Wen Ping glanced at Jiao Xie with a sense of helpless amusement.
This attitude, one might mistake him for a King-Sealing Expert.
Forget it.
Let him do as he pleases.
As long as his stench doesn’t affect him, it doesn’t matter.
This world has all kinds of people, there are plenty who are arrogant and dismissive, he can’t possibly kill every single one he encounters.
He’s not a butcher.
"Sect Leader Wen was just about to propose a plan for the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking for everyone’s discussion." Si Haixian was also disgusted by Jiao Xie’s behavior, feeling as if he’d swallowed a bitter pill, yet he restrained himself from bursting out.
At the same time, Si Haixian didn’t fully disclose the details
He didn’t tell Jiao Xie that if Wen Ping’s proposal was reasonable, it could be immediately decided upon.
He understood Jiao Xie’s intentions were not pure this time, so he needed to speak cautiously to prevent Jiao Xie from taking advantage of the situation and causing trouble unnecessarily.
"Oh?"
Jiao Xie responded cynically, then looked at Wen Ping with a sarcastic tone, "I’m genuinely interested to hear Sect Leader Wen’s insights. Rest assured, Sect Leader Wen, unless it’s utterly absurd and ridiculous, I, Jiao, won’t criticize it indiscriminately."
"Are you sure you want to listen?"
Wen Ping smiled and asked rhetorically.
Jiao Xie was silent for two breaths; he initially thought Wen Ping would become angered, after all, he’d heard Wen Ping was known to be short-tempered according to the Immortal Daily and others.
"Of course."
Wen Ping’s smile vanished instantly, and he said solemnly, "Then continue to ponder slowly, I have matters to attend to... everyone, I’ll always support the majority, feel free to continue."
After speaking, Wen Ping actually stood up and walked away, turning his back on the chair as he left.
Everyone was startled at that moment.
No one expected Wen Ping to show such disregard to Jiao Xie.
Si Haixian inwardly cursed, knowing Wen Ping’s temper and power.
Background?
Position?
All these things and more.
Perhaps they were very important in the eyes of him and others in the Celestial Unrestricted.
But to Wen Ping, they were of no importance whatsoever.
After all, Wen Ping dared to kill people from both Zeming Palace and the Thousand Crafts Sect, so he wouldn’t be bothered by a mere Jiao Xie.
Just as Si Haixian was about to muster the courage to manage the situation, Jiao Xie slapped the round table in anger and roared, "Wen Ping, what do you mean by this?"
Wen Ping did not respond, continuing on his path.
As he walked out, he said to Si Haixian, "Domain Master Si, inform me of what this hosting requires by tomorrow morning."
Completely ignoring Jiao Xie’s fury.
And disregarding Jiao Xie’s very existence!
"Stop!"
Jiao Xie was instantly infuriated, standing abruptly.
But Jiao Xie obviously wasn’t foolish; instead of spouting senseless villain-like mockery, he questioned angrily, "As the host of the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking for the Primordial Yang Domain, you’re supposed to be the moral leader and exemplar of Primordial Yang Domain, but not only did you keep everyone waiting for your secret meeting, now you dare to leave. Do you think the Celestial Ascension Ranking is child’s play? Or are you, as a mere Sect Leader of a minor sect, treating our grand You Country as a joke?"
A heavy accusation was thrown!
If it were someone with a fragile mind, their brain might metaphorically bloom like a chrysanthemum on the spot.
Even though this accusation wasn’t aimed at the other Celestial Unrestricted experts, it still made them apprehensive.
Si Haixian’s face changed drastically.
"Brother Jiao, aren’t you going too far?"
Si Haixian knew clearly that if he didn’t control Jiao Xie, the situation would become troublesome.
Could Jiao Xie’s power withstand a strike from Wen Ping’s sword?
Impossible.
If Wen Ping killed Jiao Xie, then Wuqi King would intervene.
If Wuqi King acted, the implications would be different.
Not to mention whether the Immortal Sect has any King-Sealing experts.
Even if they did, Wuqi King could somewhat represent the will of You Country; opposing him would be equivalent to rebelling against You Country.
However, Jiao Xie was relentless, "Si Haixian, you must know you represent the Primordial Yang Domain and You Country. It’s one thing for you to shield a sect’s power; now you even challenge me... do you think your position as Great Domain Master is unshakeable?"
"You’re like a madman." Si Haixian cursed angrily, "Sect Leader Wen was chosen by me to hold the hosting position. Whether he stays or leaves, if you have any objections or issues, you can report to the Sovereign! Whatever it is, I’ll bear it, but now, at this moment, shut your mouth immediately!"
Jiao Xie questioned in a low voice, "Si Haixian, do you even know what you’re saying?"
"Are you deaf?"
Si Haixian angrily retorted.
Hearing Si Haixian’s response, Jiao Xie repeatedly uttered, "Fine, fine, fine," trembling with fury, while the other Celestial Unrestricted experts quickly stood to mediate.
Standing to the side, Wen Ping hadn’t expected Si Haixian to argue with Jiao Xie for his sake. Of course, he wasn’t particularly moved.
Si Haixian’s stance was actually simple, purely a matter of interest.
If he realized that one day they would become enemies, perhaps he wouldn’t act this way.
However, since he’s now falling out with Jiao Xie for his sake, regardless of his intentions, Wen Ping didn’t want to remain indifferent.
In the next moment, the sword was already in hand.
Murderous intent surged!
At this moment, Si Haixian, terrified, rushed forward and blocked Wen Ping, even enduring excruciating pain to tightly grip the sword in Wen Ping’s hand with both hands.
With a stance that would not let go even in death.
"Sect Leader Wen, you must not kill him!"
