System's Super Sect Chapter 1356 - 1170: Prince Longyang, "Immortal Sect Guardian" (3)

See if they can bear the deadly guilt of defying the Inspection Hall’s orders!

"Si Haixian, continue to investigate for me. People of the Inspection Hall, follow me!" After leaving these words, Sikong Zhuxing left the Inspection Hall.

"Yes!"

Si Haixian nodded.

Though Si Haixian appeared calm, he was actually anxious inside.

Sikong Zhuxing was not someone to mess with.

The Inspection Hall was even more so.

Even a King-Sealing Expert would have to steer clear when encountering the Inspection Hall.

After all, the only one who can command the Inspection Hall is the Sovereign of You Country, and any word or deed of the Inspection Hall represents the Sovereign!

"No one is to leave!" Si Haixian instructed after saying this, he left the Inspection Hall, found a secluded corner, set up a sound insulation barrier, and pulled out a Sound Transmission Stone.

When the Sound Transmission Stone connected.

Si Haixian hurriedly spoke, "Sect Leader, you may have to come to Celestial Sun City now."

But from the other end of the Sound Transmission Stone came Wen Ping’s calm voice, "You don’t have to worry about Sikong Zhuxing’s matters, just continue doing what you need to do."

"Sect Leader, you already knew."

Si Haixian, just after asking this question, immediately felt it was redundant.

The Sect Leader has the All-Knowing Tower.

How could he not know the happenings in Celestial Sun City?

"You go and do your thing." At this moment, Wen Ping sat in the All-Knowing Tower, quietly holding the Sound Transmission Stone, watching the image of Sikong Zhuxing flying towards the Immortal Sect’s residence on the Black Wall.

He did not intend to go to Celestial Sun City now.

Nor did he intend to send someone there.

Because, there is someone more suitable to show up than himself in Celestial Sun City.

Even if he didn’t say anything, that person would definitely go.

As expected, in the next moment, across the other side of Celestial Sun City, a stunning figure swiftly swept in, catching up with Sikong Zhuxing’s pace, flying towards the Immortal Sect’s residence.

That person was none other than Prince Longyang!

When Sikong Zhuxing arrived above the Immortal Sect’s residence, the Five Veins shook simultaneously, releasing the aura of a Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm expert, pressing towards the Immortal Sect’s residence and shouting.

"People of the Immortal Sect, come out and face me!"

This roar.

This image of the simultaneous shake of the Five Veins.

Made all who witnessed it recall that day.

The day Wuqi King came to demand justice!

"Again!"

"The Immortal Sect has offended yet another King-Sealing Expert, amazing."

"It’s truly the Immortal Sect. We seldom catch a glimpse of a Sealing King in our lives, and probably we’ll never get to, but the Immortal Sect seems to offend only Sealing Kings."

Residents around the Immortal Sect’s site all gazed up at the sky, and the members of the Immortal Sect, who were resting indoors, all rushed out.

Before Yun Liao could even speak, a voice came from afar.

"King Jin Hong, I didn’t expect that after only thirty years as Vice Hall Master of the Inspection Hall, your temper has grown increasingly irritable."

The speaker was Prince Longyang.

At that moment, there was no one more eager than him to know the truth behind Wuqi King’s demise.

After all, he had very few King-Sealing Experts under his command, and with the fall of Wuqi King, the previously estimated chances of victory had dropped by twenty to thirty percent.

The joy of gaining the Immortal Sect’s support had lasted only for merely a few days.

"So it’s Prince Longyang! However, right now, the Inspection Hall is investigating the cause of Wuqi King’s death, so I can’t offer you any formalities."

After saying that, Sikong Zhuxing felt a jolt of realization.

Does the Immortal Sect weigh so heavily in Prince Longyang’s heart?

He had barely arrived, and already Prince Longyang was here.

He originally wanted to kill some members of the Immortal Sect to vent his anger.

Prince Longyang responded coldly, "I’ve already checked the people of the Immortal Sect, and there is no one suspicious. Moreover, the strong figure behind the Immortal Sect was an old acquaintance of Wuqi King!"

The implication was clear.

Get lost!

But Sikong Zhuxing, upon hearing Prince Longyang’s words, suddenly let out a cold laugh and said, "Does being old acquaintances mean they won’t kill each other? Prince Longyang, you should open your eyes and see clearly to avoid being deceived. My Inspection Hall is directly under the Sovereign, and if they don’t even heed my Inspection Hall’s orders, what can’t they do?"

"Stop using the name of the Inspection Hall to pressure me. Those present today are all competitors of the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, and I told them to rest at home. If you think I’ve erred, then go tell the Sovereign that I’ve delayed your Inspection Hall’s case investigation!"

Prince Longyang retorted immediately.

In short, the Immortal Sect is definitely under my protection!

"Prince Longyang, you jest. Since the Immortal Sect received orders from Your Highness, the Inspection Hall has nothing to say. However, I remind you, Prince Longyang, that the perceived old friend of the Immortal Sect is likely the last person Wuqi King met before his death. The Sovereign will certainly check, and you cannot protect him!"

Sikong Zhuxing’s angry gaze gradually turned cold. After saying this, he looked down at Yun Liao and others who were watching him.

Prince Longyang countered once more, "If the Sovereign wants to investigate, that is only natural. Do you, a mere Vice Hall Master of the Inspection Hall, have the right to interrogate a Sealing King?"

"You..."

Sikong Zhuxing was furious but couldn’t speak.

He had no choice.

Though he was a Vice Hall Master of the Inspection Hall, he was ultimately not part of the Royal Family.

The disparity in status was clear, and he dared not speak excessively, as any excessive words today would turn all faults into his fault, regardless of whose fault it originally was.

After all, royal authority cannot be challenged!

Seeing Sikong Zhuxing at a loss for words, Prince Longyang seized the opportunity to press further, "Sikong Zhuxing, since the Sovereign sent you to investigate Wuqi King’s death, hurry up and do so. If you find nothing, I will immediately face the Sovereign and have your position as Vice Hall Master removed!"

Sikong Zhuxing said no more. Though his heart burned with rage, it was as always; the royal authority of You Country cannot be challenged.

If he did challenge the royal authority of You Country, even if today was entirely Prince Longyang’s fault, in front of the Sovereign, it would only become his fault.

Left with no choice, Sikong Zhuxing could only retract the Meridian Gate and turn to leave.

But just after turning around, Sikong Zhuxing suddenly stopped and slapped his forehead, as if realizing something, "Oh, my forgetfulness! Prince Longyang, Prince Yèzé wanted me to pass on a message when he came, I wonder if you wish to hear it."

Prince Longyang’s face tightened.

Prince Yèzé.

One of the You Country Royal Family’s Sealing Kings!

Also a competitor for ascending to the position of Sovereign of You Country!

He was also the one behind Sikong Zhuxing!

"I don’t want to hear it, get lost!" Prince Longyang retorted.

Sikong Zhuxing sighed with a helpless smile, "Prince Longyang, even if you don’t want to hear it, I must speak. After all, it’s a message from Prince Yèzé. If I don’t convey it, it will be my fault. Offending you, I cannot afford, and offending Prince Yèzé, I cannot afford either."

Having said that, Sikong Zhuxing didn’t give Prince Longyang a chance to speak, directly relaying the message Prince Yèzé asked him to convey before leaving.

"Prince Yèzé asked me to convey the message, ’Please, Prince Longyang, take heart. People, after all, all meet their end; perhaps it was just his time?’"

Upon hearing this, the long-suppressed anger in Prince Longyang’s heart erupted instantly.

This was blatant mockery!

Intolerable!

But before he could respond, Sikong Zhuxing’s mouth opened again with a jab, "Your Highness, Prince Yèzé told me to deliver these words to you, please don’t take it out on me. I am innocent! With more to do at the Inspection Hall, I will take my leave first!"

After saying that, Sikong Zhuxing instantly transformed into a brilliant streak and fled, giving Prince Longyang no chance to retaliate.

After Sikong Zhuxing left, Prince Longyang clenched his fists tightly, his eyes ablaze with anger, looking as if he wanted to tear Sikong Zhuxing apart.

But a few breaths later, the anger was suppressed.

Because he knew, what Prince Yèzé most wanted to see was his impotent fury.

"You all continue to rest, prepare well for tomorrow’s competition." Prince Longyang instructed Yun Liao and others briefly, then likewise transformed into a brilliant streak and left.

Just after Prince Longyang left, Si Haixian, who was watching from hiding, breathed a sigh of relief.

No wonder the Sect Leader wasn’t in a rush.

It turned out he anticipated Prince Longyang would take action to resolve the trouble of Sikong Zhuxing.

The Sealing King of the You Country Royal Family had become a shield for the Immortal Sect.

Tsk tsk...

Just the thought of it is comforting.

(Another long Chapter...

Goodnight.

Everyone!)
