System's Super Sect Chapter 1397 - 1192: If Only You’d Told Me How Strong You Were

Although he still didn’t understand why Yeze King would do this, Wen Ping felt it definitely had something to do with some previous matter.

Because of Zeming Palace?

Maybe.

Or maybe not.

They’d only know after checking; with Jin Zhi Tower around, investigating this wasn’t difficult.

After Wen Ping instructed Celestial String not to pay attention to Yeze King, he immediately returned to the Immortal Sect. Once back, he promptly had Chen Xie investigate the ins and outs of the matter. What Wen Ping hadn’t expected was that there was no need to investigate at all; Jin Zhi Tower’s existing intel instantly gave the answer.

"Sect Leader, Zeming Palace’s Palace Master Zhuo Spring is Yeze King’s man, and Zeming Palace provides seventy percent of the funding for Yeze King to gather his faction! I think this should be the reason Yeze King wants to topple the Immortal Sect. As for other reasons, none are sufficient."

"So it really is for Zeming Palace. Right, isn’t Thousand Crafts Sect’s Sect Leader the You Country Sovereign’s person?"

"Yes. And Thousand Crafts Sect was one of the major forces that supported the Sovereign in seizing the throne back then."

"Then no wonder. After all, with Purple Treasure Pavilion appearing, what will be overturned is the entire Vortex Divine Artisan industry, and the weaker Zeming Palace will be hit first. Losing a money tree like Zeming Palace is something Yeze King definitely doesn’t want to see."

In this world, King-Sealing Experts are limited.

Each Royal Family King-sealing figure can only recruit a limited number of King-Sealing Experts.

But White Crystal and resources are unlimited. Zeming Palace, a towering money tree, provides opportunities that are practically unlimited.

If he were Yeze King, he’d also find a way to topple Purple Treasure Pavilion.

Or recruit it.

Obviously.

Yeze King is not someone who wants to recruit the Immortal Sect.

Everything he did today was just putting on a show.

Yeze King belongs to the former type—what he wants is to destroy Purple Treasure Pavilion, and destroy the Immortal Sect along with it.

"Keep an eye on him. The moment he leaves Divine Flight City, inform me at once." Wen Ping gave a reminder, then prepared to put away the Sound Transmission Stone.

But at this moment Chen Xie suddenly called out to him, "Sect Leader, there’s one more thing you might be very interested in. It’s about Elder Sword Demon."

"What?"

Chen Xie replied, "Today, following Yeze King, there came a Lower Realm Demon Ancestor—devastatingly beautiful—named Yu Ji. It was her back then who deceived Elder Sword Demon and destroyed Vibrating Blade Sect. As for this matter, do you think we should inform Elder Sword Demon?"

"So it’s her."

Wen Ping was speechless.

Earlier he’d even thought that even Sword Demon would probably be moved.

Turns out Sword Demon had already been moved long ago.

"Even if you don’t say anything, Sword Demon will find out eventually." This kind of clichéd plot of getting revenge on a scumbag woman—no, scumbag demoness—even if someone still wants to see it, Sword Demon himself probably has no interest in acting it out now. Because if he wanted revenge, he’d have gone straight for Yu Ji the moment he broke through to Middle Realm.

Chen Xie immediately responded, "Then I’ll return to the sect now and tell him. These days, Sword Demon just happens to be cultivating in the Fifth World."

Wen Ping promptly put away the Sound Transmission Stone.

He had no interest in this kind of hackneyed plot.

But Chen Xie absolutely counted as a newbie audience member who loves watching revenge-on-scumbag-demoness stories.

Putting his thoughts away, Wen Ping then continued cultivating in Tingyu Pavilion, waiting for Yeze King to leave Divine Flight City. He hadn’t expected that the wait would last several days.

During these few days, Yeze King showed no sign of wanting to leave Divine Flight City, as if he were waiting for something, and even found a place to settle down.

Three days later, Fatty knew what he was waiting for.

Outside Purple Treasure Pavilion, another King-Sealing Expert appeared, and he straightforwardly told the people of Purple Treasure Pavilion that he wanted to seek an audience with the Immortal Sect Sect Leader.

Wen Ping didn’t respond.

Right after that, Prince Longyang arrived as well.

But upon arriving in Divine Flight City, Prince Longyang dropped his usual grand entrance, choosing instead to conceal his Qi and Realm and hide within Divine Flight City, secretly observing everything.

Over the following day, four more King-Sealing Experts arrived. Although they weren’t Royal Family King-sealing figures, they were close confidants of several Royal Family King-sealing figures.

As soon as they arrived in Divine Flight City, they all went to Purple Treasure Pavilion seeking to meet him.

But Wen Ping didn’t meet any of them.

This made Prince Longyang, lurking in the shadows, secretly delighted, and he couldn’t help drinking to celebrate. "You lot, when even my true self hasn’t come, and yet you expect the Immortal Sect Sect Leader to meet you? As if. Really think you’re that great? If you knew the Immortal Sect’s origins, you’d be scared to death!"

With that, Prince Longyang began feeling lucky that he was the first person to encounter the Immortal Sect.

But at this time, someone was extremely depressed.

That person was Yeze King.

Yeze King was currently standing with his hands behind his back in front of a window, gazing in the direction of Purple Treasure Pavilion. Behind him, messenger after messenger came to report.

Yet not one piece of news could bring a smile to his face.

"Why hasn’t that Immortal Sect Sect Leader met anyone?"

Beside him, Yu Ji slowly leaned against Yeze King’s shoulder, letting out a faint breathy sigh, then spoke, "Your Highness, why be impatient? Whether that Immortal Sect Sect Leader meets someone or doesn’t, in the end he’ll still become the target of everyone’s arrows."

"But if he doesn’t meet anyone, how are the various princes supposed to get riled up? What I want isn’t just for the Immortal Sect to become the target of all. I want the other King-Sealing Experts to fight tooth and nail over the Immortal Sect." Yeze King wrapped an arm around that slender waist and sighed. "The time left for me isn’t much. Among the seven Royal Family King-sealing figures, my power at most ranks in the top three."

"Your Highness, you will definitely get your wish. This Sovereign’s seat—if not yours, then whose? You’ve already publicly named Zeming Palace’s price in front of so many people. As long as that spreads to the ears of the others, they’ll definitely come personally. As long as they come personally, that Immortal Sect Sect Leader will have to meet them even if he doesn’t want to."

With that, Yu Ji’s delicate jade hand gently and slowly moved downward...

Half a quarter-hour later.

Yeze King instructed the Yu Ji in his arms, "You stay here. If anything happens, inform me at once. I’ll go to Zeming Palace first. Since Zhuo Spring is already prepared to cooperate with me in putting on a show, we have to perform the full set properly."

"Your Highness, go without worry, I’ll keep watch here." Yu Ji reluctantly left Yeze King’s arms and helped loosen his robe.

In Jin Zhi Tower, Chen Xie hurried upstairs with a teacup in hand, then stopped dumbfounded in front of the Black Wall.

"What the hell, it’s over already? I only went to get Spiritual Water to brew a cup of tea!"

Just as he was still puzzled, he saw Yeze King leave the Inn and, in a flash, disappear into the sky above Divine Flight City. Chen Xie hurriedly pulled out the Sound Transmission Stone to contact Wen Ping.

"Sect Leader, he’s left Divine Flight City."

Wen Ping immediately got up and headed for the Teleportation Array.

Of course.

He wasn’t going to chase him.

He was waiting for Yeze King to reach a place where there were no people and no demons.

A short while later, Wen Ping added Yeze King to the Teleportation Array’s whitelist and activated the array to automatically lock onto Yeze King, who was heading toward the Curved Realm Passage.

Bang—

A beam of white light crashed down, swallowing Yeze King from the sky.

When Yeze King could finally see clearly again, he was already within the Immortal Sect. As he opened his eyes and saw Wen Ping, he was rather surprised.

"Sect Leader Wen?"

"I’ve waited several days for you; you finally can bear to leave Divine Flight City?" Without any extra words, the instant he finished speaking, Wen Ping opened his Meridian Gate.

Bang—

All five veins shook at once.

Seeing this, King Yeze’s expression tightened. "Sect Leader Wen, what are you doing?"

He roughly guessed what Wen Ping wanted to do.

But he didn’t dare be certain.

Because he really didn’t believe Wen Ping would dare strike at him, and Wen Ping was merely at the Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm—on what basis could he fight him, a Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm?

"It’s nothing major. I’m just asking you to die for me." As Wen Ping spoke, his sword was already in hand, and the dark violet Celestial Wave Flame slowly crept up the blade.

King Yeze’s face abruptly changed; rage exploded. He immediately opened his Meridian Gate. "Wen Ping, you’ve really got some nerve!"

Bang—

All five veins shook at once.

The aura of a Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse burst out in an instant. With a lift of his hand, violent Golden Vein Qi swept across the entire Immortal Sect, making the Immortal Sect crowd hastily look toward the Teleportation Array.

Seeing that yet another King-Sealing Expert had appeared, the people of the Immortal Sect were no longer surprised.

"And who’s this one?"

Huai Ye murmured, leaning against the window, quietly watching.

But next, King Yeze did not rush to strike. Instead, he looked all around, searching for the appearance of the Immortal Sect’s King-Sealing experts.

"Come out!"

Seeing he couldn’t sense the other party, King Yeze immediately shouted.

"You dare abduct me to your Immortal Sect, yet don’t dare show yourself? This king wants to see just who you are, that you dare lay hands on the Royal Family."

"What are you shouting for."

As the words fell, Wen Ping’s Meridian Gate shook; the Cyan Lotus Sword’s third Sword Technique, Cyan Lotus Chaotic Dance, was unleashed directly. A sky full of six-petal cyan lotuses fused with the Celestial Wave Flame, sweeping down to crush toward King Yeze. The sheer momentum made King Yeze, who had looked down on Wen Ping, change expression dramatically.

What!

With a cry of shock, King Yeze hurriedly drew his weapon. His Meridian Gate shook—and without the slightest hesitation he directly used his trump card.

Celestial Level Top-Grade Vein Technique!

Celestial Steel Demon Suppression!

Though this technique was only at the Great Success Realm, it was still far stronger than a perfected Celestial Level Middle-grade Vein Skill.

In a blink, King Yeze transformed into a Golden Giant, eyes bulging with fury, and as he rose from the ground he stood hundreds of zhang tall, as though he would prop up the heavens themselves. But in that instant, the sky full of six-petal cyan lotuses had already pressed down, submerging King Yeze, who had turned into a Golden Giant.

Is Celestial Steel Demon Suppression strong?

Strong!

After all, it’s a Celestial Level Top-Grade Vein Technique.

Wen Ping had already been prepared to use Necromancy.

But as the sky full of six-petal cyan lotuses swept across King Yeze, shredding the Golden Giant in an instant, Wen Ping’s hand halted.

Boom—

Once the Golden Giant shattered, King Yeze was sent flying in an instant, heavily smashing into the stone cliff of one of the Immortal Sect’s mountain peaks, unable to climb back up for half the day. Wen Ping hurriedly probed with his Spiritual Power and discovered that the damage to his Spirit Body had actually reached fifty percent!

At that moment, Wen Ping felt he had underestimated himself.

After the Celestial Wave Flame fused with the six-petal cyan lotuses, the boost it brought was unprecedentedly immense.

"Don’t bother struggling. You won’t be the only King-Sealing Expert to die here—they all failed to escape." Seeing King Yeze’s five fingers stabbing into the Black Ball, Wen Ping responded mildly, "Before he died, King Wuqi also pinned his hopes on that thing."

As he finished speaking, Wen Ping didn’t hesitate in the slightest; his Sword Technique rose again.

He didn’t want to give King Yeze any time.

Including time to beg for mercy.

Because killing a Royal Family King-Sealing Expert right now hadn’t been part of his original plans.

And because, once a Royal Family King-Sealing Expert dies, the implications are enormous—afraid the entire You Country will be shaken.

But.

King Yeze just had to come and shatter the peaceful cultivation time he’d finally fought to secure.

Then there was nothing to be done.

Cyan Lotus Chaotic Dance—unleashed again!

Seeing this, King Yeze hurriedly shook his Meridian Gate again. This time, he released Celestial Steel Demon Suppression no longer to suppress and kill Wen Ping, but just to block this strike of Wen Ping’s.

But he knew he couldn’t block it.

The Wen Ping before his eyes was simply too powerful.

The Inspection Hall’s He Youyuan was probably no more than this, right?

"Sect Leader Wen, spare my life. Whatever you want, I can—"

King Yeze’s voice cut off abruptly, because after the sky full of six-petal cyan lotuses shredded the Golden Giant, they suddenly converged into a straight line, piercing through King Yeze’s Spirit Body like bamboo splitting, wiping out his surging vitality in an instant.

In death, King Yeze wore an expression of shock that he couldn’t believe he would die; then, amidst unwillingness and regret, he plummeted downward.

He was unwilling.

Because he had schemed for a hundred years for nothing but the position of Sovereign of You Country.

Seeing that he only needed to wait another five years, he felt he could sit on that seat.

He regretted.

Why did he come to Divine Flight City.

Why did he provoke the Immortal Sect.

If not for the complete loss of vitality, he still wanted to say.

If you’re this strong, you should have said so earlier.

If you’d said so earlier, this king wouldn’t have provoked you.

In the next moment, Wen Ping stored King Yeze’s corpse into a Storage Ring, then poured Wood Qi into his body, protecting the last traces of life remaining in that Spirit Body.

"I’ve already been to the Black Domain... Since I’m going to add fuel to the war between Sky-Shrouding Tower and You Country, then you’ll just have to take a trip to the battlefield." If he could encounter a King-Sealing Expert, that would be best; if not, it didn’t matter.

Anyway, as long as everyone knew that before his death, King Yeze had gone to the battlefield, that would be enough.
