System's Super Sect Chapter 1299 - 1137: Wuqi King: I’m No Big Shot, Just a Highway Bandit
Previously on System's Super Sect...
Victory has never been his pursuit.
Nor is it the current pursuit and desire of most disciples and Senior Disciple Yang Lele of the Immortal Sect.
For most people, defeating these Heaven-Gazing Gorge prodigies is undeniably a victory, but few take it too seriously.
It’s like, even if someone loses today.
He wouldn’t doubt himself because of this.
Because it’s just a defeat for today.
Today’s loss only proves that their time in the Immortal Sect is too short, and doesn’t mean they will be inferior to these Heaven-Gazing Gorge prodigies in the future.
So, most people’s pursuit is only two-fold!
One, not to tarnish the Immortal Sect’s great name.
Two, to be seen by the Sect Leader.
As for the rest, such as rankings in the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, or the appreciation and favor of You Country officials and Celestial Unrestricted experts, they are nothing more than clouds on the horizon.
The Wind doesn’t care.
They never lingered.
"You go on with your tasks." Wen Ping waved his hand and instructed, "If someone asks about the whereabouts of Wuqi King, you can tell them he’s visiting the Immortal Sect and won’t participate in this Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking."
"Understood!"
Yun Liao nodded.
Before leaving, he glanced in the direction of the Wuqi King being Sealed Meridian Gate.
This guesting.
He might never leave the Immortal Sect in this lifetime.
Even though the Sect Leader spared his life for now, everyone knows that the Sect Leader, who is never soft on enemies, would never keep them alive for no reason.
Boom—
The Teleportation Array activated.
Yun Liao returned to Celestial Sun City.
At the same time, the Wood Dragon and Sword Demon carried the unconscious Wuqi King forward.
Bam—
Sword Demon punched Wuqi King’s already injured abdomen.
"Old dog, stop sleeping."
The sudden agony in Wuqi King’s unconscious state woke him, his blurry eyes slowly opened, and the intense pain surged into his brain like a tide, causing his brows to throb uncontrollably. Upon seeing Wen Ping close at hand, a wave of vengeful fury engulfed his heart.
"You—"
Wuqi King just wanted to charge forward when Sword Demon punched his abdomen again, causing Wuqi King to clutch his stomach, collapse, and curl up on the ground, resembling a ball of fur.
Of course.
Simple physical harm is insufficient to make someone at the Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm reach an unbearable level.
The will of a Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm expert is as terrifying as their power.
Thus, the two punches contained an additional element, a third-stage spiritual power attack, which entered through the wounds inflicted by the punches and reached the brain, exponentially amplifying the sensation of pain, forcefully shattering that resolute will.
This is a use he recently discovered.
After knocking down Wuqi King with a punch, Sword Demon angrily said, "Old dog, try showing off again, and I’ll kill you. The Sect Leader spared your life for now, but don’t make him regret it."
Wen Ping then spoke, "Alright, send him to the Red-eyed Giant Ape. Tell Red-eye, as long as he doesn’t die, he can do whatever he wants with him."
Currently, Wuqi King may not be a match for someone in the Divine Profound Realm, but considering he has cultivated to the Sealing King realm, we cannot be careless.
So, don’t give him a chance to recuperate.
Sword Demon understood, grabbed Wuqi King with one hand, and headed to Yunlan Mountain, then threw him in front of the Red-eyed Giant Ape and a group of tree men.
"Red-eye, I’ll leave this person to you. Do whatever you want as long as he doesn’t die. I’ll check in occasionally, and if I find he still has the strength to speak, I’ll gouge out your red eyes." Sword Demon finished, coldly swept a glance at the hunched Wuqi King and snorted disdainfully.
Daring to attack the Immortal Sect!
He’s truly seeking death.
Really thinks being a Sealing King is impressive?
Red-eye replied nervously, "Sword Demon Elder, don’t worry, I’ll entertain this old man properly, making him unable to live or die!"
"Mm."
Sword Demon was satisfied and walked away with his hands behind his back.
At the moment Sword Demon turned to leave, the Red-eyed Giant Ape viciously kicked Wuqi King’s hunched back, coldly saying, "Old man, I give you three breaths. If you’re not standing by then, don’t blame me for cutting off your lower part!"
Wuqi King, originally curled on the ground, suddenly trembled all over, struggling to stand up bit by bit, but because he exceeded three breaths, he was kicked down again the instant he stood by the Red-eyed Giant Ape.
"I’ll give you another chance." The Red-eyed Giant Ape shouted, "Someone bring me a knife, today I’m going to castrate this old man."
"Boss, coming!"
A tree man hurriedly ran over, handing over a firewood-cutting knife.
This person was a prodigy from the Red Leaf Sect.
The Sect Leader was in dire straits, planting trees, and the little hope in their hearts had long since shattered, so they resigned to being the Red-eyed Giant Ape’s lackeys.
Though it’s disgraceful, at least they can live a bit more comfortably.
Meanwhile, all the tree men intently watched Wuqi King, observing him grit his teeth, enduring the pain as he staggered to stand up.
At this moment, ninety percent displayed disappointment.
They thought they could watch a spectacle.
Among them, only Red Leaf Sect leader Ye Wuping showed a trace of pity in his eyes, glancing twice before burying her head to continue digging her pit.
She guessed this person might be the top expert who had just waged a battle above the Immortal Sect.
Even if Celestial Unrestricted succumbed.
What could she possibly do?
Better not to look, lest a few more glances invite a reason for the Red-eyed Giant Ape to make me labor tirelessly for ten days and nights...
At this moment, the Red-eyed Giant Ape’s lackey eagerly speculated, "Boss, do you think he might be the powerhouse who was battling in the sky just now?"
"Him?"
The Red-eyed Giant Ape looked Wuqi King up and down with disdain, then laughed scornfully, but still leaned toward Wuqi King and asked, "Old man, tell me who you are."
A spine-chilling feeling of tearing swept across his mind, and it hurt so much that he almost stumbled. Holding on with difficulty, Wuqi King bit his teeth in pain and then forced a bitter smile, "I’m just an old rogue, nothing like a senior. I foolishly tried to rob Sect Leader Wen and uttered some nonsense, which is why I ended up in this situation."
Admit you’re Wuqi King?
Don’t be ridiculous.
If that got out, my reputation would be ruined for life.
Living would be worse than dying.
So I absolutely can’t admit it!
"You old crook, stopping and robbing people, you’re really looking for death! Get over there and dig a pit. I’ll give you fifteen minutes to dig a pit one zhang deep, bury these fallen leaves inside, and then cover it up within a hundred breaths." The Red-eyed Giant Ape tossed a spade over and leisurely went to lie in a hammock nearby, "Hurry up, old crook, or I’ll geld you. There’s still a pile of leaves waiting for you to bury!"
Upon hearing the word geld, Wuqi King could only grit his teeth and pick up the spade.
Reputation ruined.
Living worse than dying.
Being gelded?
That would be worse than death.
...
Primordial Yang Domain.
When Yun Liao returned to Celestial Sun City, Si Haixian rushed over with a face full of unexpected joy, only to have the happiness fade somewhat upon seeing Yun Liao.
"Elder Yun, where is Sect Leader Wen?" Si Haixian hurriedly asked, as the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking would begin in just two hours.
Everything was set except for the host.
Even the royal family of You Country had arrived.
Yun Liao responded calmly, "Domain Master Si, don’t worry. The Sect Leader is preoccupied with some matters, but he will definitely arrive at Celestial Sun City ahead of time."
"In that case, I’m relieved." Si Haixian sighed with relief. Fortunately, the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking had been expedited for special reasons, which made the process relatively straightforward, so it didn’t matter much if Wen Ping was a bit late.
As long as he comes!
Those so-called matters must be related to Wuqi King, right?
But, who cares.
It’s none of his business.
His heart had already been tortured enough today.
He didn’t want to worry about things that weren’t his concern.
Just as Si Haixian sighed in relief, Jiao Xie appeared, supported by a group and leading three Celestial Unrestricted experts, and arrived in front of Yun Liao. Although he no longer displayed an arrogant attitude, upon landing, he immediately began questioning.
"Yun Liao, where is my master?"
Yun Liao didn’t get angry. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and curiously asked, "Domain Master Si, who is this cripple who needs help walking?"
Si Haixian was stunned.
How was he supposed to respond to that?
Fortunately, as Si Haixian struggled to find words, one of the Celestial Unrestricted experts accompanying Jiao Xie spoke up.
This person was one of the many Celestial Unrestricted experts who had greeted Wen Ping last night.
"Elder Yun, Senior Jiao Xie’s visit isn’t to cause trouble for your sect. He just wants to inquire about Senior Wuqi King’s situation. The Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking is about to begin, and since the royal family of You Country has already arrived, any conflict between Wuqi King and your sect should be set aside for now."
His tone was indeed a bit softer, and his attitude towards Yun Liao was quite nice, though he still spoke with a sense of superiority.
He knew how.
He had an attitude of instructing people on what to do.
Of course, for a Celestial Unrestricted expert to speak like this to Yun Liao was already decent.
After all, what power does Yun Liao have?
But Yun Liao belonged to the Immortal Sect, and he was an elder of the Immortal Sect, which made the situation entirely different.
Knowing this, Yun Liao had no intention of indulging them; he was too lazy even to repeat what the Sect Leader had told him to appease them.
"If you want to know, find out for yourself. I don’t know." Immediately following this, Yun Liao issued an eviction order, "Domain Master Si and other seniors, I won’t be seeing you off. Take care, everyone. The Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking is about to kick off, and I need to lead the disciples to the opening venue now."
With that, Yun Liao clasped his fists and leisurely walked deeper into the camp, leaving Jiao Xie and the others as well as a few Celestial Unrestricted experts who followed Wuqi King.
"But Wuqi King was taken away by that white light—"
The Celestial Unrestricted expert who had attempted to instruct Yun Liao continued speaking, but was forcefully interrupted by Si Haixian.
Si Haixian quickly interjected, "Enough, disperse, all of you. Senior Wuqi King is a King-Sealing Expert. Whatever he does or when he arrives, why are you concerned? You’re not even King-Sealed yet, and you’re constantly meddling in King-Sealing level affairs."
With that, Si Haixian transformed into a flash and departed.
Seeing that Si Haixian was siding with the people of the Immortal Sect, Jiao Xie and the others looked at each other in dismay and could only leave unwillingly.
If Yun Liao doesn’t speak, what can they do?
Si Haixian doesn’t side with them.
They’re not King-Sealing experts, either.
They can’t just go around causing chaos at the Immortal Sect camp like Wuqi King.
"Senior Jiao Xie, how should we report back later?"
"What, Yun Liao just knows some magic and really thinks he’s a Celestial Unrestricted? Let’s just relay exactly what he said."
"Yes, yes, exactly!"
As they left the Immortal Sect camp, the three Celestial Unrestricted experts engaged in conversation.
Annoyed by their chatter, Jiao Xie interrupted impatiently, "Alright, enough with the nonsense. Just report the truth. Prince Longyang, being of the You Country royal family, isn’t going to trouble the three of you, right? Just say whatever Yun Liao said."
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately flashed ingratiating smiles.
"Brilliant insight, Senior Jiao Xie!"
"Brilliant insight, Senior Jiao Xie!"
"Brilliant insight, Senior Jiao Xie!"
