System's Super Sect Chapter 1370 - 1176: Sikong Zhuxing Returns to Celestial Sun City

Sikong Zhuxing, who smelled the aroma, rushed out like a hungry wolf and bumped into Si Haixian right at the door, meeting gazes.

"It’s you!"

Sikong Zhuxing exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing this, Si Haixian couldn’t help but chuckle, "What a coincidence, what a coincidence."

At this moment, he finally understood why the Sect Leader said Sikong Zhuxing wouldn’t trouble him anymore.

It was because of this.

Sikong Zhuxing realized, "You’re from the Immortal Sect! No wonder, no wonder whether it’s Prince Longyang or King Yize drawing you in, you never take a side."

"No, no, no, you’re overthinking it. I don’t take sides simply because I am only loyal to You Country. Forget it, why am I telling you so much." Saying this, Si Haixian walked away.

Sikong Zhuxing wasn’t dead.

It seems he’s on our side now.

Since he’s one of us, no need for chatter, cultivation is more important.

Sikong Zhuxing hurriedly shouted, "Hey, don’t leave!"

At this moment, Huai Ye, nearby, spoke angrily, "Old man, are you drinking or not? If not, I’ll give it to the dogs."

...

Below Yunlan Mountain in Cangwu City.

Haha, the dog, following the patrol led by the Evil Spirit Knight, suddenly turned its head toward Yunlan Mountain.

"Woof woof woof..."

It seemed like someone was calling it.

...

As for Wen Ping, in the following days, he went to Celestial Sun City every day. Watching the tournament during the day and returning to the sect for cultivation at night.

Since there were disciples from the Immortal Sect, the already rapid competition speeded up even more.

In just three days, the preliminary rounds were over.

It is worth mentioning that, seeing Sikong Zhuxing had not returned for a long time, Prince Longyang couldn’t help but finally ask.

For this, Wen Ping casually made up an excuse to deflect.

The old excuse.

Drinking!

Upon hearing this, Prince Longyang didn’t pursue further, although he clearly looked a bit unhappy.

However, in the following days, Prince Longyang was particularly enthusiastic toward him and also full of praises for the Immortal Sect’s disciples.

Moreover, he even presented all sorts of fun gifts to Huai Ye and others.

Regarding this, Wen Ping didn’t stop him.

He understood Prince Longyang’s intentions, so if he didn’t accept, it would make him feel even more insecure.

Although Prince Longyang approached him with a purpose, he was indeed generous, so if he could provide a sense of security, he certainly would.

As for the subsequent semifinal rounds.

Same as usual.

Draw lots to decide.

But this time, there were group divisions.

Four groups in total, simultaneously competing to determine the strongest, and finally, these four would compete in the final.

To everyone’s anticipation, Yang Lele and Yun Liao were in separate groups.

At the same time, Sikong Zhuxing’s injuries had mostly healed. Wen Ping didn’t intend to help him fully recover, so upon reaching about eighty percent recovery, he directly sent him back to Celestial Sun City. Before leaving, Wen Ping gave Sikong Zhuxing a piece of advice.

"When you get back, try to avoid mischievous thoughts, or you never know when your mouth will get you into trouble. Of course, if you don’t value your life, then forget I said anything."

Sikong Zhuxing nodded quickly, "Sect Master Wen, rest assured, I value my life, I certainly do. Once back, I’ll wait for your orders. Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it."

"When you get back, release those sect leaders and clan leaders of the Primordial Yang Domain first. As for Wuqi King’s case, handle it as you see fit."

For the matter of Wuqi King, Wen Ping only briefly advised.

Since there were no leads, Wen Ping guessed that the Sovereign of You Country would surely be displeased.

He might investigate personally.

Or send someone more capable to investigate.

So there’s no need for Sikong Zhuxing to hide anything.

With this, Sikong Zhuxing nodded his understanding, saying, "Sect Master Wen, rest assured. I will definitely steer the Wuqi King’s case toward the Zhetian Pavilion!"

"Alright."

Wen Ping waved his hand and used the Teleportation Array to send him away.

Boom—

When the white light of the Teleportation Array fell upon Celestial Sun City, the first to notice it were Prince Longyang’s people.

Within a hundred breaths, Prince Longyang immediately left his residence and hurried to Sikong Zhuxing’s Inspection Hall. Upon seeing Sikong Zhuxing, he sarcastically remarked, "You certainly have time on your hands, instead of investigating Wuqi King’s death, you have the time to go drink at the Immortal Sect."

Hearing this, Sikong Zhuxing frowned.

Still acting?

You’re a seasoned actor.

Impressive!

"Your Highness, you truly have spare time." Sikong Zhuxing couldn’t help but retort, turning around and leaving straight away.

As Sikong Zhuxing departed, Prince Longyang’s sharp eyes caught sight of the numerous newly healed wounds on the skin exposed outside Sikong Zhuxing’s clothes.

And the wounds weren’t small!

Using perception to probe, he found his spirit body was also injured.

Seeing this, Prince Longyang immediately smiled, and after laughing, he left.

Back in his residence, Prince Longyang was overjoyed, "So drinking was just a facade, no wonder he was clearly disgusting to me yet still so sullen. With so many wounds on his body and his spirit body also suffering significant damage, it seems he was beaten at the Immortal Sect!"

At the same time, lying on his bed, Sikong Zhuxing was gloomy as ever.

"Truly lost both the lady and the army!"

"I have been helping King Yize against Prince Longyang for so many years, yet in the end, I became part of Prince Longyang’s camp."

"That bastard... Prince Longyang is such a good actor. His Highness King Yize got fooled, and so did I... Forget it, let fate decide. Fortunately, I am still useful to the Sect Master of the Immortal Sect, so even if Prince Longyang becomes the Sovereign of You Country, he won’t really kill me."

...

The next day.

The semifinals were in full swing, and with all those imprisoned in the Inspection Hall’s dungeon released, Celestial Sun City’s century-long event finally reached a peak where everyone was beaming with joy.

As for Sikong Zhuxing, he had completely lost interest in watching the matches.

Seeing this, Prince Longyang was overjoyed.

When Wen Ping came to watch the games, he even proposed giving Yang Lele to Wen Ping.

"Sect Master Wen, this Yang Lele has outstanding talent, and your sect happens to possess cultivation methods of various anomalous veins outside of the five elements—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. It seems most fitting for you to take Yang Lele in. If I took him, I wouldn’t know what to teach him."

Sitting beside him, Wen Ping smiled helplessly and didn’t reply.

Seeing this, Prince Longyang got anxious and hurriedly said, "Sect Master Wen, there’s no need to be polite with me. Yang Lele truly fits your sect the best!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Immortal Sect behind couldn’t help but stifle their laughter.

The Domain Master of the Heaven-Supporting Domain, hearing this line, murmured to himself, "Joining the Immortal Sect wouldn’t be bad. If Yang Lele joins the Immortal Sect, my Heaven-Supporting Domain might also gain some favor. After all, the power and status of the Immortal Sect aren’t something ordinary King-Sealing Experts can match."

At this moment, only Wen Ping remained silent, maintaining a calm expression, and instead shifted the topic, "Your Highness, let’s discuss this matter later."

"Then we’ll talk later, we’ll talk later," Prince Longyang readily agreed.

This attitude was no longer the same as before.

Only cautiousness remained.

All because Prince Longyang doesn’t want to lose Wen Ping.

To be precise, he doesn’t want to lose the Immortal Sect.

Therefore, in the following days, Prince Longyang continued to generously praise the Immortal Sect’s competing disciples.

And even openly biasedly gave rewards!

But it was only the semifinals now.

This was unprecedented in the history of the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking’s major competitions, and others, seeing this, could only feel envy and jealousy.

Why weren’t they disciples of the Immortal Sect?

Especially when, at the end of the semifinals, half of those entering the finals were disciples from the Immortal Sect, Prince Longyang proudly announced that these nearly thirty individuals would each be granted a weapon crafted by the Five-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan.

This, not only made the contestants envious.

The audience was envious.

Even Celestial Unrestricted experts were envious.

After all, when they were at the Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm, they hadn’t used weapons crafted by the Five-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan. It was only upon reaching the Celestial Unrestricted level that they could commission the Five-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan to craft a weapon for them.

Regarding this, Wen Ping could only shake his head and laugh.

Prince Longyang was truly willing to spend to draw the Immortal Sect to him and gain his favor.

Because of this.

Wen Ping could only say.

When the day comes that You Country makes a move against the Immortal Sect, he would let him off once.

All for the grand gesture!

(Good night.

Everyone!

Please vote for the monthly pass!)
