System's Super Sect Chapter 1290 - 1131: Sealing King Appears (Part 2)
Previously on System's Super Sect...
Si Haixian, seeing this, exclaimed repeatedly, "Sect Leader Wen, didn’t you say you would only use one sword strike?"
"I said if he doesn’t die from one sword strike, it’s his luck, I never said I would only make one strike," Wen Ping replied, not chasing outside, but rather sitting down leisurely.
Si Haixian wanted to chase out, but after reconsidering, if Wen Ping had the intent to kill, could Jiao Xie escape with his strength? With a helpless bitter smile, Si Haixian sighed, "Sect Leader Wen, Jiao Xie cannot die, if he dies, the troubles for you and me will be immense."
"Even if he doesn’t die, it’s trouble."
Under the urging of Wen Ping’s spiritual power, the distance between Jiao Xie and the all-encompassing Cyan Lotus Sword Intent grew shorter. However, just as the increasing Cyan Lotus Sword Intent was about to engulf Jiao Xie, a surge of vein qi as fierce as the sea suddenly burst from a corner of Celestial Sun City, dispersing all Cyan Lotus Sword Intent released by Wen Ping and protecting Jiao Xie, whose body was stained with blood.
"Master... save me... this Immortal Sect Sect Leader... wants to kill me! This is... rebellion!"
With Jiao Xie’s cry for help, half of Celestial Sun City was alerted to this voice.
At this moment, thousands looked up to the starry sky, gazing towards the direction of the Primordial Yang Domain Lord’s Mansion.
Whoosh—
A startling figure streaked across the sky, descending from the other side of Celestial Sun City to stand in front of Jiao Xie.
The newcomer was a white-haired elder, standing in the night sky with hands behind his back, yet even the myriad starlights in the sky were not as dazzling as him. Because he is a legendary existence in the Primordial Yang Domain, one of the few King-Sealing Experts.
Wuqi King!
At the same time, he was the only King-Sealing Expert overseeing the Primordial Yang Domain!
"Just one sword strike, and your Killing Horn Spirit Body is already 50% injured. Usually, you don’t focus on cultivation, now you see the consequences, right?" Wuqi King rebuked Jiao Xie as soon as he arrived.
Jiao Xie clutched his chest, enduring the pain as he took out a few celestial materials from his storage ring to recover from his injuries, swallowing them quickly before defending, "Master, it was the Immortal Sect Sect Leader who ambushed me!"
"Interesting." Wuqi King said in a deep voice, biting the three words particularly hard.
The next moment.
A vast murderous intent enveloped the entire Primordial Yang Domain Lord’s Mansion like the morning fog, with the core of the killing intent being the top secret room that already had its roof blown away.
The killing intent surged forward, descending upon Wen Ping, causing all Celestial Unrestricted experts present to change their expressions.
At this moment, most people immediately stepped away, distancing themselves from Wen Ping’s position.
Forging good relations with Wen Ping was important to them, but now that Wuqi King had arrived, they could certainly not continue to stand on Wen Ping’s side.
At this moment, only five people did not move away: Si Haixian, a Vice Domain Master of the Primordial Yang Domain, the City Lord of Divine Flight City Yan Lai, Long Ye, and the Pavilion Master of Wangshen Pavilion.
Wen Ping cast a glance at the two people and no longer paid attention to them, having already prepared a way to deal with Wuqi King.
Board the Flying Ship.
Or transport the Wood Dragon over to have a confrontation.
However, there was no need to be too anxious; things hadn’t reached the point where he needed to hide in the Flying Ship and summon the Wood Dragon.
"Trying to kill my disciple right in front of me, how bold!" Wuqi King shouted in anger, and a terrifying pressure immediately descended upon Wen Ping. In a flash, Wuqi King appeared within arm’s reach of Wen Ping, yet did not immediately take action.
Si Haixian, seeing this, immediately stepped forward to block Wen Ping, speaking helplessly, "Wuqi King, please calm your wrath, this matter... this matter... I can explain it."
Upon finishing this sentence, Si Haixian regretted it.
Explain?
What could he use to explain?
Could he say Jiao Xie provoked him first?
That would be the same as slapping Wuqi King’s face and would only make him angrier.
Wuqi King coldly retorted, "Si Haixian, as the Master of a Domain, are you sheltering him?"
Si Haixian was speechless, as he really didn’t know what to say to ease the worsening situation.
As he remained speechless, Wen Ping spoke, and a single sentence caused Si Haixian’s expression to change drastically.
"No, he’s just trying to tell you, teaching a disciple isn’t just about teaching them cultivation, but also their character. Unless, you have no achievements in this aspect, in which case, we can understand."
The moment Wen Ping finished speaking, Wuqi King opened all Five Veins in anger, and a tsunami-like vein qi blast sent Wen Ping retreating a full hundred steps.
"What did you say!"
Standing firm, Wen Ping didn’t release the Flying Ship or summon the Wood Dragon, merely tidying his disheveled hair and responding, "Old man, I have no issue with you. I’m just saying your disciple has poor character, likes to stir trouble for no reason, and I’m not necessarily his dad, so I don’t want to indulge him at all."
Hearing this, all present, including Si Haixian, had their expressions congeal, for Wen Ping’s manner of speaking had thoroughly offended Wuqi King.
If said privately, Wuqi King might have given Wen Ping face, trivializing the matter. After all, Wen Ping’s Purple Treasure Pavilion and his strength, along with the people backing Immortal Sect, were forces not to be underestimated.
After all, Jiao Xie was not dead, and everything hadn’t reached an irretrievable point.
But speaking thusly to Wuqi King face to face was akin to slapping Wuqi King twice, trampling on the dignity of Wuqi King as a King-Sealing Expert. And it was in front of more than half of the people in the Primordial Yang Domain.
"Sect Leader Wen, calm down, calm down!" Si Haixian hurriedly stepped out to soothe Wen Ping, then positioned himself between the two, racking his brain trying to persuade Wuqi King, "Wuqi King, please calm your anger, the dispute between Jiao Xie and Sect Leader Wen is nothing more than a youthful clash, a misunderstanding encountered in combat. To be honest, Sect Leader Wen’s strength is enough to kill me with a single strike. If he really wanted to kill Brother Jiao Xie, with Brother Jiao Xie’s current power, death would have been inevitable, but Sect Leader Wen didn’t do so!"
These words, Si Haixian both gave Wuqi King face and characterized the incident as a misunderstanding among youths.
Also, he highlighted Wen Ping’s true power to prove that Wen Ping never truly intended to kill Jiao Xie.
With the characterization changed, and since Wen Ping didn’t truly aim to kill Jiao Xie, combined with Wen Ping’s potential to become a King-Sealing, Wuqi King was unlikely to cause further trouble after witnessing this potential.
As Si Haixian quietly observed Wuqi King’s expression, he saw Wuqi King stop Jiao Xie, who was trying to argue despite his injuries, "Are you implying my disciple is very poor?"
As he spoke, Wuqi King’s tone was filled with anger, but Si Haixian breathed a sigh of relief.
Wuqi King was offering a way out.
Thank goodness!
Thank goodness!
Now Wuqi King’s anger was understandable; after all, he’s a King-Sealing Expert, having a temper was expected, otherwise, how could he save face in front of so many Celestial Sun City inhabitants.
"I dare not, I dare not, Brother Jiao Xie is a leader among our You Country and a rare talent in a century, merely lacking in cultivation time. I believe with your guidance, Wuqi King, Brother Jiao Xie will certainly succeed in Breaking Realm and King-Sealing in the future." Si Haixian took the stairs "down," throwing in a heap of flattery.
Having finished his flattery, he finally relaxed, wiping the cold sweat from his palms on his chest.
Thank goodness.
Thank goodness.
Wuqi King is neither a military brute nor someone as foolish or narrow-minded as Jiao Xie.
Wen Ping’s personal power, the existence of Purple Treasure Pavilion, along with the powerful figures backing Immortal Sect, all ensured that Wuqi King didn’t harbor intentions to kill.
Truly heaven’s blessings!
Peace be everlasting!
After being flattered by Si Haixian, much of Wuqi King’s anger dissipated, then he glared at the disgraced Jiao Xie beside him, finally fixing his gaze on Wen Ping, and asked in a chilly tone, "Boy, who taught you your sword?"
"Li Bai."
Wen Ping replied.
"Li Bai... Li Bai..." Wuqi King repeated Li Bai’s name several times, then frowned, unable to find any recollection of such a person in his memory ocean.
Regardless of whether what Wen Ping said was true or false, he didn’t want to continue the conflict with Wen Ping.
After all, there was no grudge, no need to make an enemy of himself, even though Wen Ping, like his disciple, wasn’t particularly tactful with words.
Moreover, he wanted to thank Wen Ping for troubling the Long Family; having someone like Wen Ping troubling the Long Family would certainly hasten Long Xue’s marriage to him, given the absence of a Celestial Unrestricted overseeing them.
Nothing could be more delightful than winning a beauty.
