System's Super Sect Chapter 1324 - 1150: Si Haixian Joins the Sect—The Happiest Is the Sword Demon! (Monthly Pass Requested)
Previously on System's Super Sect...
Little did they know.
A glance gave them a shock!
The Wuqi King!
With a face of desolation, the Wuqi King, who was already covered in wounds, was indeed wielding a shovel, chopping trees below, and, from time to time, would earn a lash for his slowness.
Crack—
With one whip, the already torn Spirit Body was once again ripped apart.
"This, this, this..."
"Didn’t Sect Leader Wen say he was drinking?"
Si Haixian was stupefied.
Wasn’t the Wuqi King enjoying a banquet with Li Bai?
"Drinking, as if he’s worthy. Alright, Domain Master Si, stop looking, let’s go spar. There’s nothing to see in a dying person."
The Sword Demon urged.
Si Haixian was at a loss for words.
He didn’t know what to say.
Everyone was deceived by the Sect Leader.
What drinking?
What old acquaintances with Senior Li Bai?
...
Cangwu City.
Since the creation of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, the Heaven and Earth Lake has been peaceful. The connections amongst the 108 lakes were unprecedentedly close. And due to the existence of the Immortal Sect, the remote and barren East Lake witnessed rapid development, and Cangwu City once became a center of the Heaven and Earth Lake!
Although Wen Ping rebuilt Cangwu City, greatly expanding its area, it quickly became filled in a short period.
Beyond Cangwu City, expansion was limitless in a brief span of time.
So, when viewed from afar, Cangwu City was close to catching up with the great cities of the Primordial Yang Domain, with populations of tens of millions.
Correspondingly, the City Lord’s Mansion in Cangwu City also saw unprecedented enhancement. Huan Cheng, this City Lord, though only in the Profound Realm, had several Mountain Suppression Realm experts under his command.
However, at this moment, Huan Cheng was still deeply concerned.
Simply because the Evil Spirit Knight only managed the inside of the city, not the outside.
Yet, the number of people outside the city was ever-growing.
The City Lord’s Mansion couldn’t manage them all.
Some even established sects and family forces outside the City Lord’s jurisdiction, refusing to comply.
Helplessly, Huan Cheng had to invite three people to the City Lord’s Mansion for negotiations.
Though he was in the city, Huan Cheng wasn’t afraid, but as a Profound Realm cultivator leading a few Mountain Suppression experts, facing three half-step Earth Unrestricted experts, he still felt inadequate.
As for where these three half-step Earth Unrestricted experts came from?
Two of them were from the Heaven and Earth Lake.
However, they had been in Hidden Cultivation in the deep mountains for years, uninvolved in worldly affairs, yet unable to ascend to Earth Unrestricted; thus, they sought a livelihood, initially considering joining the Immortal Sect, but alas, the Immortal Sect was not recruiting. They had no choice but to establish a force outside Cangwu City.
Another one fled from Heaven-Gazing Gorge, intending to hide in the Heaven and Earth Lake for a period before returning to Heaven-Gazing Gorge, similarly drawn by the fame of the Immortal Sect, and under duress established his force outside Cangwu City.
The three constantly clashed, competing for territory, knowing that the Cangwu City Lord couldn’t extend his authority beyond the city.
Inside the city, they dared not act recklessly!
Outside the city, it was their domain!
"City Lord Huan, you don’t need to say anything. You manage your part, and we’ll manage ours, there’s no trouble between us."
"We won’t cause trouble inside the city, and you should not meddle outside. City Lord Huan, you’re just a City Lord, not the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect!"
"City Lord Huan, if you want to persuade us to reconcile, I can only tell you it’s impossible; even if I agree, the disciples of my sect will not."
Each of the three spoke one after another, completely blocking the words Huan Cheng wanted to say.
Huan Cheng initially thought the three would at least give him some face, considering his son was also in the Immortal Sect, but he didn’t expect them to give him none at all.
Now he truly didn’t know what to do.
He could only muster his courage to say, "Esteemed seniors, if you continue to fight, what about those who just want to settle in Cangwu City for a peaceful life? If this continues, they might as well return to their original places and live their former lives. If necessary, I’ll have to seek the Heaven and Earth Alliance!"
"City Lord Huan, don’t use the Heaven and Earth Alliance to scare me; it’s the same across the Heaven and Earth Lake. Where there are people, there will be struggles. Want a peaceful life? Without cultivation efforts, where does peace come from?"
"Though I find him disagreeable, City Lord Huan, I agree with what he said. It’s the same throughout the Heaven and Earth Lake, and the Heaven and Earth Alliance knows it."
"City Lord Huan, if there’s nothing else, we’re leaving. I promise, my people and I will behave inside Cangwu City, but outside, I cannot guarantee."
With that, one rose to leave, and the other two followed suit.
Huan Cheng’s expression became troubled, but he was helpless.
What could he do?
Seek help from the Immortal Sect?
That would be wishful thinking.
He only had a son in the Immortal Sect.
As for past ties, Huan Cheng was not foolish, knowing that such bonds were not his to mention; only Sect Leader Wen could bring them up.
If he mentioned such bonds, it would be tactless.
"Esteemed seniors, please wait!" Seeing the three were about to leave, Huan Cheng prepared to make another desperate attempt to keep them.
However, the three had no intention of staying.
Just then, a voice came from above the City Lord’s Mansion.
"City Lord Huan! City Lord Huan!"
Huan Cheng furrowed his brow, finding the voice familiar, and hurried to the door, seeing Long Yue and quickly bowed in greeting.
"Elder Long, what brings you here."
The three half-step Earth Unrestricted cultivators also rushed out from inside, bowing to Long Yue.
After all, Long Yue stood aloft in the sky.
And was an Elder of the Immortal Sect.
How could they not show respect!
"Greetings, Elder Long!"
"Greetings, Elder Long!"
"Greetings, Elder Long!"
However, despite their respect, Long Yue didn’t acknowledge them and continued speaking with Huan Cheng, "Came down to buy some things, by the way, to bring you a message from the Sect Leader. Today, the old Sect Leader and his wife have returned, and the Sect Leader invites you and your wife to come up the mountain for a gathering."
