System's Super Sect Chapter 1391 - 1189: Battle Erupts Over the Capital City, Celestial General Appears
Previously on System's Super Sect...
"Why didn’t you tell me when I wasn’t here?" Hearing Sikong Zhuxing’s shout, Si Haixian retorted without hesitation.
Sikong Zhuxing was speechless, "Every time I tried to speak before, you told me to leave immediately. Ask yourself, did you ever give me a chance to talk?"
"Seems like I didn’t."
Si Haixian recalled.
Sikong Zhuxing shouted, "You know that! Where are you now? I’ll come to find you. Seven assassins from the Royal Family are searching for you in Celestial Sun City. They won’t rest until they find you, and right now, the Capital City is likely filled with spies waiting for you to surface."
"But this is the Capital City."
"So what? They’re from the Royal Family. To put it bluntly, the entire You Country is practically theirs, and there’s no shortage of ways to kill you."
"What should I do now?"
"Have you entered the city?"
"Not yet."
"Has anyone spotted you?"
"No... not initially, but now they have. Just now, a group of people flew past me. Judging by their attire, they are guards from Qi Tianze’s mansion."
"Why’s your face so dark?"
Sikong Zhuxing was speechless.
With that, Sikong Zhuxing immediately rushed out of the Inspection Hall, transformed into a streak of light and flew toward East City. He intended to reach the East City gate ahead of the other royals, but just as he moved, several streaks of light arose behind him, all chasing in his direction.
Seeing this, Sikong Zhuxing couldn’t help but curse silently.
"Traitors everywhere!"
Qi Tianze’s people couldn’t spread information that quickly, the only possibility is that there are spies inside and outside the Inspection Hall, more than just one or two people.
What kind of Inspection Hall is this!
Being inspected by the Inspection Hall?
Meanwhile, Si Haixian was about to fly directly into the Capital City, but as he was about to cross the city gate, he felt a terrifying murderous intent.
On the wall below, the Hidden Heaven Crossbow, which has protected the Capital for hundreds of years and can even wound King-Sealing Experts, was aimed at him, poised to strike.
"Get down!"
The Celestial General guarding the city shouted immediately.
Si Haixian slowly halted, but did not descend immediately.
Not because he didn’t want to.
But because he didn’t dare.
He knew if he complied and descended, this man Gu Yi could delay him, perhaps even delay him until the assassins arrived.
Because he’d never been stopped like this when entering the Capital in previous years.
This sudden obstruction could only mean something suspicious; this person must be affiliated with the royal King-Sealing team.
But what if he doesn’t descend?
The Hidden Heaven Crossbow could severely injure him with one arrow.
The City General might even use this opportunity to kill him validly.
Since every unfamiliar Celestial Unrestricted entering the country needs to register, he might use this as an excuse to accidentally kill him, and after investigation, he might merely lose his position as City General.
"I am Si Haixian, Domain Master of Primordial Yang Domain." Si Haixian descended, preparing to show the Great Domain Lord Order, which hadn’t been confiscated, to prove his identity.
However, the City General blocked him again, "Wasn’t the Great Domain Master of Primordial Yang Domain assassinated by those from Shadow Sky Tower? How could there be a Great Domain Master from Primordial Yang Domain? Descend, if you can’t prove your identity, you can’t enter the Capital."
Si Haixian understood this was intentional.
No matter what he presented, the other party would find an excuse.
Fortunately, he had the Golden Scroll!
Si Haixian revealed the Golden Scroll, speaking coldly, "The National Lord’s Golden Scroll is here, if you dare claim it’s fake, I’ll call you ancestor today."
The City General was left speechless.
The surrounding Divine Shadow Army looked at each other, their expressions suddenly turning sour.
Forced, the City General could only grin and say, "Ah, it’s Domain Master Si. Haven’t seen you in years, and you’ve gotten more dashing. How did I not recognize you immediately?"
Si Haixian chuckled coldly, then put away the Golden Scroll and entered the Capital. Once inside, he immediately transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the Royal Palace.
While flying, he used the Sound Transmission Stone to contact Sikong Zhuxing.
"The City General is one of their people."
Sikong Zhuxing’s face changed, then he hurriedly said, "Don’t go to the Royal Palace immediately, head towards my Inspection Hall first. Right now, no less than ten Celestial Unrestricted experts are heading to block you. Don’t let them stop you, keep heading towards my Inspection Hall."
"Alright."
Si Haixian immediately put away the Sound Transmission Stone and accelerated towards the Inspection Hall at maximum speed.
However.
The Capital is too vast.
Even as a Celestial Unrestricted expert, it’s not possible to reach anywhere instantly.
After flying for a hundred breaths, several Middle Realm Celestial Unrestricted experts appeared ahead. Upon seeing him, they immediately surrounded him.
"I’ve heard..."
"Stop!"
Si Haixian swiftly flew past the group.
Upon seeing this, the Celestial Unrestricted experts hurriedly pursued him.
Moments later, another group surrounded him, yet Si Haixian didn’t halt for them either. Unexpectedly, they were pushed to the point of releasing Vein Technique to block him.
Si Haixian still didn’t bother with them, yet after bypassing three or four groups, a familiar figure suddenly appeared ahead.
The newcomer wore a light green gold robe, making his figure appear slender, distinctly different from typical burly cultivators. He smiled calmly yet exerted immense pressure on Si Haixian, forcing him to stop reluctantly.
For the newcomer was one of the Royal Family’s Sealing Kings — Qi Tianze.
It’s surprising that a royal Sealing King came to block him personally!
"Your Highness."
Si Haixian stopped and had no choice but to bow.
Qi Tianze still maintained his smile, seemingly approachable, "Domain Master Si, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect you to suddenly come to the Capital."
Si Haixian felt a chill in his heart.
Is it really a coincidence?
Do you not know the answer yourself?
Suddenly.
A streak of light appeared in front of him.
When it halted, it revealed a young and handsome face. If not for the terrifying aura incompatible with his age, Si Haixian wouldn’t have thought of him as a Celestial Unrestricted, let alone consider he might be the one who killed Qi Tianze.
