System's Super Sect Chapter 1303 - 1140: Favor from the Royal Family
Previously on System's Super Sect...
What a pity.
There wasn’t any.
Otherwise, Immortal Daily could have had one more explosive headline.
The esteemed Royal Family of You Country, surrounded by numerous Vortex Dao infiltrators - such news would absolutely shake up the entire You Country.
Such a headline might damage the reputation of the Royal Family, but who can blame him for loving a spectacle?
As for the trouble?
There will undoubtedly be some.
But right now, he’s simply not afraid of trouble.
After failing to find any Vortex Dao stealth infiltrators, Wen Ping’s focus shifted entirely to the suddenly arriving royal of You Country.
According to records over the years, there hasn’t been a moment in hundreds of years when a royal member from You Country attended the Celestial Ascension Ranking in the Primordial Yang Domain.
This year, the Sovereign of You Country has sent a royal member to the Primordial Yang Domain, indicating something extraordinary.
As a precaution against Vortex Dao repeating their tricks?
Or is it for something else?
With the approach of the Demon Ancestor of the Black Wood Clan, the full appearance of this royal member of You Country became clear. As expected of the high and mighty Royal Family, his presence was far more substantial compared to Wuqi King. Just in that battle, the aura that leaked out was enough to make one feel uneasy.
Furthermore, compared to the high-and-mighty Wuqi King, the prestige of this Prince Longyang was evident to the naked eye, as his entourage and attire were enough to prove it.
Among those accompanying him, there were three Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm strong practitioners. The others, varied in number, totaled over ten thousand.
And yet, these people were not guards.
Just attendants!
"Goodness, going out requires over ten thousand servants to attend to oneself. Try walking on a red carpet!"
The next moment, Wen Ping felt he had underestimated the situation.
Though the red carpet was indeed not laid out.
Yet as Prince Longyang descended from the Black Wood Clan, one by one, demons comparable to Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm, or even Upper Realm, voluntarily prostrated in the sky, offering their backs as steps, as a footrest for the noble Prince Longyang.
"More absurd than the Celestial Dragon Tribe." Wen Ping suddenly understood why Microse Yanxiu wanted to establish Vortex Dao to overthrow the Royal Family of You Country.
Who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable seeing this?
Wen Ping glanced at those Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm and Upper Realm as giants in Primordial Yang Domain, indeed reading different emotions in their eyes. There was surprise, shock, some disbelief... but most bore a deep respect on their faces.
Those with profound respect on their faces might find tonight’s dreams abundantly rich.
Unexpectedly.
Prince Longyang’s slow steps came to a sudden halt.
His gaze, dismissive of all else, locked onto Wen Ping, the only one not bowing and paying respects.
Si Haixian and the others were truly bewildered, turning around only to be shocked by Wen Ping’s actions. Si Haixian even broke out in cold sweat.
Goodness!
Once more!
"Sect Leader Wen—"
Si Haixian hurriedly reminded Wen Ping in a barely audible voice.
Wen Ping remained unmoved, causing Si Haixian to feel a sudden blackout, an urge to shout out and then faint away.
Upon fainting, he need not feel so afraid.
"How dare you, Prince Longyang graces us and you dare not show respect!" At this moment, a sycophantic servant behind Prince Longyang loudly rebuked.
He only had Earth Unrestricted Lower Realm power.
Yet he chided Wen Ping, a giant of Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm.
The phrase ’bullying subordinate authority’ was vividly embodied in this fellow, the last seeing such a situation was truly a rarity.
At this point, Si Haixian’s reminder came once again.
Wen Ping remained unmoved, as bowing and showing respect was simply out of the question, he responded with a direct and cold voice: "Prince Longyang is of the royal family, unless you as a mere Earth Unrestricted also consider yourself royalty?"
Upon this remark, Si Haixian and the others instantly realized that things had escalated.
"How dare!"
The servant glared furiously at Wen Ping.
Just as everyone thought a conflict was inevitable, Prince Longyang suddenly shouted angrily.
The anger was directed at the servant.
"Enough, this one has driven Thousand Crafts Sect and Zeming Palace out of Primordial Yang Domain, Sect Leader Wen, stop blowing up without respect!"
"This subordinate knows his mistake."
The servant immediately bowed and retreated, his face one of extreme panic.
Wen Ping saw all this, his heart uncontrollably letting out a cold laugh.
Quite the actor.
The master and servant cooperated quite well.
It seems they often do this in their daily routine.
"Prince Longyang actually knows me," Wen Ping asked with a smile.
Prince Longyang nodded and continued to walk down slowly, saying as he walked, "The Thousand Crafts Sect and Zeming Palace have had disputes for hundreds of years. Everyone in the world thought the Thousand Crafts Sect would win, or that the situation would reverse again. Yet Sect Master Wen’s Purple Treasure Pavilion emerged out of nowhere, causing both to suffer, completely overpowering both. If I didn’t know about this, it would be too ignorant of me."
Wen Ping calmly responded, "Your Highness, Prince Longyang, you flatter me; there is no such thing as winning or losing. It’s just that the Thousand Crafts Sect and Zeming Palace are too outdated, about to be phased out. If they disappear one day, it will definitely be because they are abandoned by the times, not because the Immortal Sect destroyed them."
Since Prince Longyang could turn a blind eye to Wen’s discourtesy of not saluting, and even spoke words of praise, it showed that Prince Longyang was expressing goodwill.
He decided to play along to see what exactly Prince Longyang intended to do.
"Sect Master Wen indeed dares to speak. Be it Zeming Palace or the Thousand Crafts Sect, they both represent the pinnacle of craftsmanship in the Vortex Dao of Heaven-Gazing Gorge, yet Sect Master Wen claims they are outdated," praised Prince Longyang, not sparing a smile of admiration in front of everyone.
Seeing this, everyone was caught off guard by this turnaround.
Si Haixian, in this reversal, also breathed a sigh of relief: Phew, world peace, how wonderful!
And in the next quarter of an hour, Prince Longyang was not stingy with his words of praise, frequently interjecting compliments in conversations with Si Haixian, Wen Ping, and others.
Even though Wen Ping hardly spoke during this quarter of an hour, Prince Longyang always found opportunities to praise Wen Ping.
And because of Wen Ping, the disciples of the Immortal Sect occasionally received a few compliments from the royal family of You Country, making other competitors envious and jealous.
This intention was obvious to everyone.
Prince Longyang took a liking to Wen Ping!
However, Wen Ping had no intention of becoming a subordinate force, so he was too lazy to talk, letting Prince Longyang say whatever he wanted, while he remained unmoved.
Seeing that Wen Ping kept silent, Prince Longyang thought that his excessive enthusiasm had frightened Wen Ping, so he quickly changed the subject and glanced at Jiao Xie in the distance, saying, "The Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking is about to begin, yet why is old Mu not seen?"
Old Mu was precisely the Wuqi King.
Jiao Xie, seeing this, hurriedly responded, "Reporting to Your Highness, Prince Longyang, this subordinate does not know. The only one who knows Master’s whereabouts is the people of the Immortal Sect."
"Hmm?"
Prince Longyang showed a face of confusion.
Turning around, he heard Wen Ping’s voice, "Wuqi King is presently at the Immortal Sect, reminiscing with the elders of our sect, and will not participate in this Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking. Hmm? Didn’t Wuqi King ask Elder Yun to inform you? Didn’t Elder Yun say?"
Wen Ping pretended to be puzzled, then looked at Yun Liao beside him. Yun Liao quickly stood up with an unhappy face and replied, "Reporting to Sect Leader, entrusted by Wuqi King, I dare not forget. When I returned to Celestial Sun City, I was originally going to inform Lord Si immediately, but Jiao Xie brought some people over, acting accusatory, and used their official status from You Country to bully me. Sect Leader, all elders, although Yun Liao is not strong, he does have some spine!"
Hearing Yun Liao’s words, Wen Ping felt a burst of joy inside, stood up in anger, and said in a deep voice, "Jiao Xie, it seems that last strike didn’t teach you a lesson."
"I did not!"
Jiao Xie was in a panic.
At this moment, those Heaven Unrestricted strongmen who accompanied Jiao Xie sat silently, not daring to move.
Trembling with fear!
At this time, Prince Longyang’s attitude toward the Immortal Sect was obvious to everyone; his intention to recruit them was more than apparent.
Yun Liao accused Jiao Xie in front of Prince Longyang, how could Prince Longyang ignore it?
What Yun Liao said was true.
Jiao Xie was using his official position to bully him.
As royalty, would Prince Longyang tolerate this?
In the grand scheme, Jiao Xie was tarnishing the reputation of the royal family of You Country!
At this moment, Yun Liao shouted again, "At that time, Lord Si, and many of my fellow disciples from the Immortal Sect were present. With so many people watching, could I possibly turn white into black?"
"You’re talking nonsense!"
Jiao Xie was already in such a panic, and angrily walked toward Yun Liao.
Wen Ping immediately sneered and said in a deep voice, "In a fit of desperate rage, do you want to silence a witness to murder? I did not expect that there would be such scum in the officialdom of You Country!"
With these words, Just when Prince Longyang, who was about to sit quietly to listen to what was going on, could not sit still anymore.
He angrily slapped the armchair and stood up in anger, then shouted, "Guards, take Jiao Xie down for me!"
As soon as the words fell, three Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm experts simultaneously made a move, surrounding Jiao Xie tightly. Seeing this, Jiao Xie kept shouting about his innocence but did not dare to fight back, because as long as he did not resist, things would not deteriorate to an irreparable degree. When Master returns, everything could be resolved.
But, if he fought back, his official position, which he relied on for survival, would certainly be lost first, followed by even harsher punishment to face.
At this time, Si Haixian spoke up.
"Your Highness, this is not the first time for this person. Previously, he was dissatisfied with Sect Master Wen, who kept showing restraint, but this person took inch after inch."
Pfft!
A knife was added sharply!
Jiao Xie was baffled.
He didn’t understand!
Prince Longyang’s eyebrows twitched with fury, "Guards, seal his Meridian Gate, strip him of his official position, and never employ him again! Immediately escort him before Wuqi King, let Wuqi King give this prince and Sect Master Wen an explanation. If he can’t teach him, this prince will!"
With these words, Wen Ping gave an ironic smile.
What a coincidence!
Master and disciple may not share the same year, month, and day of birth, but they can share the same year, month, and day of death.
