System's Super Sect Chapter 1369 - 1176: Sikong Zhuxing Returns to Celestial Sun City
Previously on System's Super Sect...
Of course.
That was just a joke.
As for my father, I’ll definitely give him some good stuff too.
But not right now.
After leaving the Immortal Pu Garden, Wen Ping immediately returned to the Tingyu Pavilion and then opened the building list.
Speak of the devil.
There really is an alchemy-related building.
But since it’s for my mother, it definitely can’t be simple.
[Pill Tower]
[The most supreme Holy Land for the lineage of Alchemists, containing countless pill recipes, numerous upper-level alchemy techniques, and even the existence of spirit fires for alchemy...]
[Construction Price: 20,000 fame]
[Construction Time: 200 hours]
"Build it."
Wen Ping directly built the Pill Tower next to the Immortal Pu Garden.
After doing all this, Wen Ping continued cultivation, using the Changmo Technique to devour Wood Qi for silent meditation, and only left the Tingyu Pavilion the next day.
After leaving the Tingyu Pavilion, Wen Ping planned to continue to observe the competitions in Celestial Sun City, as it was his own Sect’s disciples competing, and he, being the Sect Leader, couldn’t slack off.
Before leaving, Wen Ping thought about checking on how Sikong Zhuxing’s injury was recovering. When he found him, he was introspecting on the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent within his Meridian Gate.
"Looks like you haven’t given up yet."
With just one sentence, Wen Ping scared Sikong Zhuxing half to death.
Sikong Zhuxing hurriedly withdrew his perception and got up in a panic to greet Wen Ping, "Sect Leader Wen, when did you arrive?"
"I’ve been here a long time. Next time, when you’re introspecting your Meridian Gate, be careful. If your perception triggers the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent, your life will be over." Wen Ping didn’t warn him, because to an old fox like this one, a warning would only be counterproductive; he’d do what he intended to do anyway.
So he just went along with it and told him the result.
Old foxes cherish their lives.
This way, they’d be scared.
"Sect Leader Wen, I was just curious, just curious..." Sikong Zhuxing pulled out a chair and hurriedly poured a cup of tea, serving like a servant waiting on a master.
Wen Ping didn’t sit, just looked him up and down and said, "In one night, your Spirit Body has recovered almost twenty percent, not bad speed."
With that, Wen Ping turned and left.
Sikong Zhuxing quickly followed him out, bowing to see him off.
In his cautious manner, there was not a trace of the demeanor of a King-Sealing Expert.
Seeing this, Wen Ping finally understood why Sikong Zhuxing was favored by the Sovereign of De You Country and placed in the position of Vice Hall Master of the Inspection Hall.
If you didn’t look at his cultivation level, who would know he was a King-Sealing Expert?
Unknown to others, they’d think he was some fawning servant of a wealthy master.
Just as he was about to leave the Sect through the Teleportation Array, Wen Ping suddenly remembered Si Haixian.
Si Haixian is probably still busy looking for clues about the death of Wuqi King. Before long, they’ll be heading to the battlefield, and there’s no need to waste time on this now.
Wen Ping immediately took out the Sound Transmission Stone to contact Si Haixian.
As expected by Wen Ping, Si Haixian was busy. In order to find clues about Wuqi King’s death, he mobilized all remaining forces of the Domain Lord’s Mansion. He needed to check those already checked by the Inspection Hall; he also had to check on those Wuqi King knew...
Of course.
Si Haixian knows the cause of Wuqi King’s death.
Why does he still painstakingly search for the cause of Wuqi King’s death? That’s because he doesn’t want Sikong Zhuxing to find something to pin on him, then convict him of dereliction of duty.
Being transferred to the battlefield and being punished on the battlefield are two different concepts.
In the former, there’s a chance for promotion.
In the latter, no matter how much you achieve, it’s just compensating for your crimes.
Seeing the sudden movement of the Sound Transmission Stone, Si Haixian quickly stepped out of the Domain Lord’s Mansion.
Once the Sound Transmission Stone was connected, Wen Ping immediately said, "Leave the matter of Wuqi King to your subordinates; don’t worry about it. Focus on cultivation these days, and when you get to the battlefield, gain achievements as quickly as you can and climb up."
Si Haixian bitterly explained, "Sect Leader, I can’t not investigate, that Vice Hall Master of the Inspection Hall always implies openly and secretly that he wants to target me. If he finds something against me, and accuses me of dereliction of duty, no matter how much credit I gain on the battlefield, it’ll just be atoning for my crimes."
"Sikong Zhuxing won’t trouble you anymore. Put aside matters to your subordinates, find an excuse to return to the Sect for cultivation; three months will pass in a blink of an eye."
"Sect Leader, are you serious?"
Upon hearing that the Sect Leader said Sikong Zhuxing wouldn’t trouble him anymore.
Si Haixian was overjoyed.
He also wants to cultivate.
In a place like the Fifth World, if possible, he’d want to spend ten or twenty years in there without coming out.
"Do you think I would deliberately come to have fun at your expense?" Wen Ping retorted.
Si Haixian hurriedly explained, "No, no, Sect Leader, you certainly wouldn’t. Then I’ll find an excuse later to leave Celestial Sun City to investigate the case!"
"Mm, mm."
With that, Wen Ping put away the Sound Transmission Stone.
On the other side, Si Haixian, seeing the Sound Transmission Stone go silent, joyfully put it away and, after returning to the Domain Lord’s Mansion, immediately told his subordinates he was going out to investigate the case.
Of course.
After leaving the city for less than a hundred miles, the Teleportation Array transported him back to the Immortal Sect.
Upon returning to the Sect, Si Haixian couldn’t even bother to greet the Sect people and headed straight to the Fifth World.
However, on the way to the Fifth World, he happened to meet Huai Ye, who was delivering Spiritual Cuisine to Sikong Zhuxing.
Knowing that Huai Ye’s dishes were all exquisite delicacies, and that Huai Ye never cooks outside of mealtime, Sikong Zhuxing couldn’t help but stop to ask, "Xiao Ye, making such a big bowl not at mealtime yet, who is so lucky?"
"Elder Si, you’re back. Who else can this bowl of Spiritual Cuisine be sent to, other than that Vice Hall Master of the Inspection Hall who was so arrogant when he appeared, and got beaten the hardest?"
As Huai Ye spoke, he walked towards Sikong Zhuxing’s residence.
Si Haixian was taken aback.
Vice Hall Master of the Inspection Hall?
"I’ll go take a look too." Si Haixian quickly caught up with Huai Ye’s pace, and soon arrived at Sikong Zhuxing’s residence.
