System's Super Sect Chapter 1385 - 1186: Sikong Zhuxing Officially Promoted (Monthly Pass Requested!)

However, no response was received.

Judging by the expression, it seemed not that they knew nothing, but rather they dared not say too much.

Sikong Zhuxing did not continue to press on, knowing that further questioning would yield no results. After leaving the Curved Realm Passage, he immediately proceeded to the Celestial Cyan Pavilion to wait.

The Celestial Cyan Pavilion was located deep within the National Capital Palace, guarded heavily, and every wall and window could slow Dragon Wall Text.

Even the perception of the Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm could not penetrate it!

Due to its uniqueness, the Sovereign always came to the Celestial Cyan Pavilion for discussion whenever there were top-secret matters.

The last time visiting the Celestial Cyan Pavilion was thirty years ago!

After waiting for a full hour on the second floor of the Celestial Cyan Pavilion, the sound of the main door on the first floor opening slowly was suddenly heard.

Sikong Zhuxing quickly got up to go downstairs, prepared to greet the visitor. But upon descending, he found the visitor was not the Sovereign of You Country.

But a stern-faced old man.

This person was none other than He Youyuan, the Hall Master of the Inspection Hall of You Country.

He was also his mentor.

Still, the first person in the Celestial Unrestricted Upper Realm of You Country.

"Master, why is it you?" Sikong Zhuxing always thought it would be the Sovereign coming to see him.

He Youyuan said in a deep voice, "Follow me upstairs."

With that, he quickly moved upstairs in just a few steps.

Sikong Zhuxing hurriedly followed and then attended to He Youyuan sitting down, thoughtfully bringing a cup of fragrant strong tea.

He Youyuan took a sip and asked, "Did this trip go smoothly?"

Sikong Zhuxing nodded and said, "Master, rest assured, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. Finding out the truth is just a matter of time."

Saying this, Sikong Zhuxing felt a bitter smile internally, for how could he dare say he couldn’t find the truth.

He Youyuan took another sip of tea, not saying much, just reminding, "You need to be quick, the death of Wuqi King was very suspicious, there must be some hidden truth. Though his power wasn’t remarkable among King-Sealing Experts, he was still formidable, even for me to kill him would require some effort. So Wuqi King’s death was definitely not the work of an ordinary King-Sealing Expert."

"Disciple understands," Sikong Zhuxing agreed with a nod.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, He Youyuan stopped talking nonsense, "Originally, the Sovereign planned to meet you personally, but something came up last minute, so I’ve come on behalf of the Sovereign."

"Master, what happened? I was busy as it is, just uncovered some useful intelligence when suddenly summoned by the Golden Scroll."

"Because the Sovereign is preparing to temporarily hand over full control of the Inspection Hall to you."

"Ah! Please, Master, you know that my meager power cannot take over the Inspection Hall, it would be chaos in this world without you. Furthermore, without you, the top King-Sealing expert of You Country overseeing the Inspection Hall, which of the royal family King-Sealing experts would seriously heed the Inspection Hall’s words?"

What Sikong Zhuxing said was true, while also complementing He Youyuan.

Half-true, half-false.

The latter part was true.

The first part was false.

Really?

The Inspection Hall is under my leadership?

In such a festive time, surprisingly, there’s such a joyful event.

Unaware of Sikong Zhuxing’s inner thoughts, He Youyuan consoled, "Alright, look at you, just as timid as when you first entered at the age of ten. So many years have passed, and yet you still shy away from responsibility. We’ve talked about this so many times, why can’t you shake off this bad habit? This is the Sovereign’s order, you cannot avoid it!"

Indeed.

He Youyuan said it.

But internally, he greatly favored Sikong Zhuxing’s timidity.

Sikong Zhuxing shrinks away at the sight of a challenge, unlike other disciples who scramble for benefits, leaving bruised and battered.

Such a person is truly trustworthy.

"Master, my power cannot pacify so many sects, so many King-Sealing Experts..." Sikong Zhuxing stood aside with a bitter face, while inside he was jubilant.

He Youyuan continued, "Alright, it’s only temporary; even if you can’t hold them down, you must do so for me. Only after the battlefield war ends can you truly be relieved."

"Ah?"

"The transition of the Sovereign is merely five years away, so those royal family King-Sealing experts will surely go to any lengths to gain more. The Sovereign worries that this battlefield war will become a place of machination among royal family King-Sealing experts, hence he appointed me as the Divine Order of the Divine Shadow Army, to oversee the battlefield!"

"I see now, only someone like you can pacify those royal family King-Sealing experts in You Country!"

"Therefore, the Inspection Hall will temporarily be handed over to you. Do not try to reject it, currently, the Sovereign has few capable people at hand, so it must be you. By the way, on this trip to the Primordial Yang Domain, did you observe Prince Longyang and the newly emerged Immortal Sect carefully?"

Upon hearing this, Sikong Zhuxing grew interested.

How did the conversation shift to the Immortal Sect?

Sikong Zhuxing promptly responded, "Master, I can boldly say that the Immortal Sect is very likely to stand by Prince Longyang’s side. You wouldn’t know, Prince Longyang even presented the Primordial Nether Order to ingratiate himself with the Immortal Sect. Moreover, the Immortal Sect is very likely to grow into a new six-star powerful force, and certainly surpass any existing six-star giants. Because the Immortal Sect’s Vortex New Dao and Magic, the former is enough to overthrow Thousand Crafts Sect and Zeming Palace, while the latter can open a new cultivation system..."

Sikong Zhuxing concealed nothing because these remarks, if not disclosed now, He Youyuan would learn them later.

Speaking clearly now is different from having He Youyuan investigate later.

Upon hearing this, He Youyuan’s expression turned serious, "It seems Prince Longyang, though losing a Wuqi King, has indeed found a much better ally than Wuqi King. Thus, the position of Grand General must not fall to Prince Longyang."
