System's Super Sect Chapter 1366 - 1174: The First Living Sealing King Under My Command (Monthly Pass Requested!)
Previously on System's Super Sect...
A moment later, Sikong Zhuxing returned.
He still acted as if nothing had happened, merely complaining about how his subordinates were incompetent and needed his constant reminders, as if he couldn’t leave for a moment.
Prince Longyang listened and said not a word. From his perspective, Sikong Zhuxing was blatantly provoking him. However, in front of Wen Ping, he restrained himself and even smiled as he saw Wen Ping off, simply not wanting him to think he was petty.
"Master Wen, see you tomorrow."
Prince Longyang waved goodbye.
Wen Ping nodded, "Your Highness, see you tomorrow."
Sikong Zhuxing gave a slight cold smile, turned away from Prince Longyang, and followed Wen Ping through the teleportation array back to the Immortal Sect.
As soon as they landed, Sikong Zhuxing exclaimed, "So we’re here?"
"Here we are."
Wen Ping slowly walked out of the teleportation array.
Sikong Zhuxing looked down, then glanced around, "No wonder the Immortal Sect, which developed the Vortex New Dao, could only rely on opening the Curved Realm Passage in the past to achieve long-distance traversal between realms, yet this limitation was too great, requiring Celestial Unrestricted intervention. Unexpectedly, this problem was first solved by your sect’s people."
Upon entering the sect, Sikong Zhuxing decided that if this trip was uneventful, he must make friends with Li Bai at any cost.
Immortal Sect.
Able to bear great responsibilities!
In the future, it will undoubtedly be a powerful support for Prince Yeze to become the Sovereign of You Country.
"Wuqi King didn’t have time to properly inspect this teleportation array before being blasted away by my people. You can take a few more looks..."
With that, three people appeared behind Wen Ping unbeknownst to anyone.
"What?"
Sikong Zhuxing looked up and saw the three people.
Wuqi King.
He recognized him.
Qin Tianfang, Domain Master of the Black Domain.
He hadn’t met him.
Also, the Minister of the Inspection Department, Nansi.
He hadn’t met him either.
But upon seeing the three, Sikong Zhuxing’s first reaction was to open the Meridian Gate.
Boom—
All Five Veins shook simultaneously!
"Wuqi King, you’re not dead?"
Sikong Zhuxing’s first reaction was—this was a trap!
A trap to kill him!
Wuqi King’s death was staged.
Prince Longyang’s behavior was also staged.
Everything was set up to kill him.
Realizing this, Sikong Zhuxing immediately turned and escaped, transforming into a streak of light without any hesitation.
Because behind Wen Ping stood three Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm experts, he knew his own power; dealing with one Wuqi King might be possible, but with two more, he would surely lose.
"Keep your life," Wen Ping instructed, and the three, led by Wuqi King, pursued Sikong Zhuxing.
In just an instant, Sikong Zhuxing was already near the edge of Immortal Sect. Once trapped, emerging out, he realized immediately that Immortal Sect was fully prepared; they wouldn’t stop until he was dead.
Realizing this, Sikong Zhuxing quickly pulled out the life-saving "black ball," intending to activate it just like Wuqi King, by inserting all five fingers at once.
However, it was useless!
"Immortal Sect, you are truly insidious!" Seeing that his life-protecting item was also restricted, Sikong Zhuxing’s anger erupted.
In an instant.
The three, led by Wuqi King, arrived and surrounded him.
Sikong Zhuxing looked around but, instead of panicking, started to laugh.
"However, I anticipated your trickery long ago. So when I came, I instructed my people that if I didn’t return in an hour, they were to leave Celestial Sun City immediately! You’re cunning, but I, Sikong Zhuxing, am no fool. Did you think I would trust someone that easily?"
Hearing this from afar, Wen Ping shook his head and chuckled, sighing, "Truly an old fox, not a word of truth from his mouth."
But in fairness, he indeed had talent.
Just after Wen Ping’s sigh, Wuqi King and the other two unleashed their full power, using their most powerful Vein Techniques immediately upon confronting him.
Added with the enhancement of Necromancy, the trio attacked, and despite Sikong Zhuxing burning his own lifespan, it was to no avail.
Moreover, how could he be the type willing to burn his lifespan?
"Life-devouring Fire Meteor!"
Sikong Zhuxing revealed his trump card, a Celestial Level Middle-grade Vein Technique already at the Realm of Perfection.
With this cry, his back lit up with a sky-covering blaze, each flame instantly turning mountain-sized.
With a wave of his hand, they fell like a torrential storm.
An imposing presence, as if to destroy the entire Immortal Sect.
However, the lethality at most couldn’t compare to Wuqi King without the strength boost from Necromancy. Facing the cooperation of the three, Sikong Zhuxing’s ultimate Vein Technique was instantly countered, and the impact sent him flying thousands of feet, his Spirit Body suffering a ten percent injury!
Sikong Zhuxing spit a mouthful of blood and was dumbfounded, not daring to fight any longer, only able to transform into light and escape in another direction.
While fleeing, Sikong Zhuxing cursed under his breath, "Are you insane? A sect with two Sealing Kings, and you still need to trap me. Just reveal your power, and I’d even acknowledge you as a big brother!"
A sect with two Sealing Kings.
No other can be found in the entire You Country.
As he fled, the boundary of Immortal Sect approached again.
The same result as before, upon entering the trap, using force would return him to the original place.
After several attempts, it was the same each time.
At this moment, the three, led by Wuqi King, caught up again and, without a word, unleashed a killing move, directly striking the unprepared Sikong Zhuxing, leaving him wounded all over.
Spirit Body’s wounds increased by another ten percent!
Sikong Zhuxing fled again, only to be pursued by the trio once more, receiving another strike from their killing moves. However, due to a slower response this time, after taking the hit, his Spirit Body’s injuries suddenly increased by twenty percent!
As it stood, Sikong Zhuxing’s Spirit Body wounds reached forty percent!
At this moment, Sikong Zhuxing was thoroughly panicked.
"Master Wen, you can’t kill me, you can’t kill me! If I don’t return within an hour, my people will spread the news. And if I die, the Sovereign will be enraged, and should the Hall Master of the Inspection Hall come personally, even your sect with two Sealing Kings can’t withstand it."
Yet Wen Ping had no intention of stopping Wuqi King, as he didn’t trust this old fox Sikong Zhuxing.
Rather than risking him doing something drastic, it’d be better to break his legs first.
So just as Sikong Zhuxing finished speaking, the trio, led by Wuqi King, once again attacked, striking Sikong Zhuxing as they chased him, the massive damage of their Vein Techniques smashing into his Spirit Body. Within just a hundred breaths, Sikong Zhuxing’s Spirit Body injuries increased to seventy percent!
At this time, Sikong Zhuxing was covered in wounds, unable even to use Celestial Level Vein Techniques, as using one would cause his Spirit Body to feel as if collapsing. His retaliatory Vein Techniques had been reduced to Earth Level Upper-grade level.
Then Wen Ping flew over from Yunlan Mountain.
But he still halted a thousand feet away from Sikong Zhuxing.
"One hour? I saw firsthand when you told your subordinates not to leave Celestial Sun City until three days had passed if you hadn’t returned."
With a single sentence, Sikong Zhuxing’s lie was torn apart.
Sikong Zhuxing was visibly startled, but he still forced a calm demeanor and said, "Sect Leader Wen, if you don’t believe me, let’s bet on it!"
Wen Ping gave a slight, mocking smile, "Bet on what? Bet on you sending people to gather evidence of my killings, and having those Inspectors commit suicide if exposed?"
"You know everything!"
Sikong Zhuxing was greatly shocked.
Clearly.
The Wen Ping before him wasn’t bluffing.
He really knew everything!
Impossible?
How could it be possible?
The Inspection Hall has his people, and precisely his trusted confidants?
If that’s the case, it’s terrifying.
The Inspection Hall is an institution directly under the Sovereign, yet the Immortal Sect could quietly plant spies near the Sovereign?
No.
It must be the work of Prince Longyang.
The Immortal Sect couldn’t possibly have such capability.
"Do you want to live, or do you want to die?" Wen Ping didn’t answer but posed a simple question.
Sikong Zhuxing chose without hesitation, "I choose the first option!"
Old fox by nature!
How could he so easily allow himself to die?
Wen Ping continued, "Don’t resist. If you resist, you might die."
As he finished speaking, Wen Ping snapped his fingers, releasing a six-petal Cyan Lotus.
Though it was only one flower, the sword intent leaking from its rotations changed Sikong Zhuxing’s expression.
The next moment.
The six-petal Cyan Lotus directly entered Sikong Zhuxing’s Refining Anomaly Meridian Gate, rooting like a seed within the gate.
This suddenly gave Sikong Zhuxing the feeling of a sword poised against his heart, startling him into retracting his Meridian Gate in panic, "What did you do?"
"That’s a Cyan Lotus Sword Intent. As long as my Heart Thought moves, it will explode, shredding your entire being, no matter how strong your Spirit Body is, it won’t withstand it." Wen Ping spoke coldly, "Of course, you can also choose not to believe me and console yourself that it’s just a scare tactic. However, if you don’t believe, the price will be death."
"I believe, I believe!" Sikong Zhuxing chose to believe without hesitation, although he was only trusting his judgment, not Wen Ping.
One probe of Perception was enough for him to sense the powerful sword intent contained in that Cyan Lotus.
If it exploded.
His Spirit Body would likely be unable to resist!
Sikong Zhuxing hurriedly asked, "What do you want me to do to let me go?"
"You want to live so much?" Wen Ping countered.
"Who doesn’t want to live?" Sikong Zhuxing answered without hesitation.
Wen Ping chuckled and immediately said, "Be my person."
"With the support of Prince Longyang, he might very well ascend to the Sovereign position of You Country in the future, what do you need me for?" Sikong Zhuxing questioned further.
Wen Ping smilingly explained, "Listen carefully to what I’m saying, it’s to be my person, not Prince Longyang’s person. As for what you’ll be asked to do in the future, someone will contact you. Until someone contacts you, just carry on with your own affairs."
After speaking, Wen Ping tossed a Sound Transmission Stone to Sikong Zhuxing.
Wen Ping didn’t plan to disclose everything to Sikong Zhuxing.
Because he’s an old fox.
Even when his life and death are controlled by others, Sikong Zhuxing will definitely search for all sorts of other survival methods.
Even if I emphasize that the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent can only be removed by me, someone like Sikong Zhuxing won’t believe it.
"Carry it with you at all times. When something happens, it will tell you what to do." Wen Ping didn’t say much more, instead, he used the Sound Transmission Stone to contact Huai Ye.
Since Sikong Zhuxing was now under his command, his injuries would need treatment.
However, it wouldn’t be completely healed.
He still planned to use Sikong Zhuxing’s injury to put on a show before Prince Longyang, creating an illusion of conflict.
What Wen Ping hadn’t expected was that when he only called for Huai Ye to return to the Sect.
Everyone ended up returning.
Upon seeing Sikong Zhuxing with injuries covering his entire body, their first reaction was surprise.
Surprised why the Sect Leader suddenly fell out with Sikong Zhuxing.
Clearly, they were speaking just fine before.
Even more surprising was the Sect Leader’s decision not to kill Sikong Zhuxing.
"Sect Leader, why isn’t he dead?" Long Yue sized up Sikong Zhuxing and then curiously asked.
Wen Ping glared at Long Yue, "Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. Help your sister if you’re idle; in the whole Sect, you’re the most idle."
With that, Wen Ping instructed Huai Ye briefly and then left.
"Only heal up to seventy percent."
Huai Ye nodded, "Yes, Sect Leader!"
As Wen Ping left, everyone surrounded Sikong Zhuxing.
All asking why the Sect Leader didn’t kill you.
This rendered Sikong Zhuxing speechless.
Could it be he was that deserving of death?
Finally, in utter helplessness, Sikong Zhuxing could only pretend to faint.
At the same time, Wen Ping had already set off for Immortal Pu Garden without pause.
Immortal Pu Garden built with fifty thousand fame.
He’s eager to see his mother’s surprised expression upon seeing it.
He’s also very curious about its purpose.
Would its appearance bring a new system to the Sect?
For example: Alchemy?
The herbal dishes in this world are good, but ultimately not suitable for preservation; they must be prepared and consumed immediately.
But elixirs are different.
As long as there’s a container, preserving them for hundreds of years isn’t an issue.
(Goodnight, everyone.)
