System's Super Sect Chapter 1401 - 1194: Recruiting the Former Subordinates of King Yeze

"Continue speaking."

"Think about it, sir. Why not take this opportunity to consolidate your own influence? After all, we don’t know how many years the war in Beize Domain will last, but the change in the position of the Sovereign is imminent. Instead of siding with or assisting someone, you might as well hold some power in your hands first. Power is currency; when the time comes, you won’t need to please everyone, no need to heed the whims of other Royal Family’s King-Sealing experts. Because they all need you!"

Upon hearing this, Sikong Zhuxing’s eyes lit up.

Indeed.

What is there to worry about?

Isn’t this his opportunity now?

Moreover, he has the convenience of authority!

"Immediately bring the forces under Prince Yanze to the Inspection Hall for me. I need to conduct a thorough examination! If any Royal Family King-Sealing expert obstructs, show them the National Lord’s Golden Scroll."

His confidant saw their master had been enlightened and was overjoyed, energetically taking the Golden Scroll handed over by Sikong Zhuxing, "Yes! I will take care of it immediately."

All glory is shared.

When their master ascends to prominence, so will they!

As for the consequences of rivaling other Royal Family’s King-Sealing experts for personnel?

What consequences could there be?

Because they are the Inspection Hall.

Only loyal to You Country and its Royal Family in the Inspection Hall.

For those who choose to follow Sikong the Hall Master, they simply wish to no longer choose sides, wholly loyal to You Country and its Royal Family.

Thus, over the next three days.

Sikong Zhuxing captured a large number of people from Prince Yanze’s forces, up to tens of thousands. Among them were Zeming Palace’s Palace Master Zhuo Spring and a King-Sealing expert.

Though these two were unwilling, they were executing the Sovereign’s orders, so they had no choice but to comply. Besides, it was only questioning, so they did not resist.

When Sikong Zhuxing reported this to the Sovereign, the Sovereign was greatly pleased and praised Sikong Zhuxing for his decisiveness!

After receiving praise, Sikong Zhuxing returned to the Inspection Hall. Regarding Zeming Palace’s Palace Master Zhuo Spring, Sikong Zhuxing asked only some ordinary questions.

Because Sikong Zhuxing knew, Zeming Palace could not be subdued by him.

Were it his master He Youyuan, it might be possible.

He was still somewhat inexperienced.

After sending Zhuo Spring away, Sikong Zhuxing began interrogating another King-Sealing expert from Prince Yanze’s forces.

His name was Qi Hua.

The current Sect Leader of Celestial Splendor Sect, the strongest sect in Longze Domain!

It was through him that Prince Yanze controlled the entire Longze Domain, even the Domain Master of Longze had to submit, obediently serving Prince Yanze.

"Brother Qi Hua, have a seat. You probably know the situation; Prince Yanze’s death is quite suspicious, so you must not withhold any information." Sikong Zhuxing followed the same procedure as he did with questioning Zhuo Spring when he entered Qi Hua’s resting chamber.

At this moment, Qi Hua was worried about the sect and the current situation of Celestial Splendor Sect, so he didn’t want to waste his time in the Inspection Hall, and answered whatever Sikong Zhuxing asked immediately.

Half an hour later, the questioning was nearing an end.

Just when Qi Hua was about to leave, Sikong Zhuxing spoke, "Brother Qi Hua, we’ve known each other for a long time, let me be frank. There are people from Prince Longyang and other six Royal Family’s King-Sealing experts waiting for you outside the Inspection Hall, but my men are holding them back."

"I expected them to come," Qi Hua was not surprised, but his brow was furrowed, eyes filled with confusion.

Obviously, the sudden demise of Prince Yanze had left him at a loss.

He suddenly lost his direction.

Although he was a King-Sealing expert, no matter how he chose, the issue was not significant, but the centuries-old foundation of Celestial Splendor Sect could not afford any momentary lapse.

Sikong Zhuxing advised gently: "Brother Qi Hua, the problem isn’t as complex as you think. Besides these six choices, you actually have another choice."

Qi Hua’s expression changed slightly, asking suspiciously, "What other choice is there? A single misstep and the centuries-old foundation of Celestial Splendor Sect might be ruined. Additionally, two King-Sealing experts have recently perished, one of whom was a Royal Family King-Sealing expert. If I choose incorrectly..."

Qi Hua dared not think further.

Because that was the worst outcome.

At this point, Sikong Zhuxing revealed his long-prepared intention, "Brother Qi Hua, actually, you can choose my Inspection Hall."

"Neutral? If neutrality were possible, I would’ve chosen it long ago." Qi Hua chuckled bitterly, shaking his head, and prepared to take his leave from Sikong Zhuxing.

Sikong Zhuxing smiled, "Neutral? When has my Inspection Hall ever been neutral?"

"Your Inspection Hall has never sided with anyone, isn’t that neutrality?"

"My Inspection Hall has always only been loyal to You Country, only loyal to the Royal Family of You Country. If that’s neutrality, then where should my Inspection Hall stand?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Hua fell into silence.

Sikong Zhuxing said nothing further because this matter could not be resolved in one go; saying too much would be counterproductive.

"Brother Qi Hua, remember. With my master around, the Inspection Hall that is only loyal to You Country and its Royal Family will always be here. Although the Inspection Hall cannot elevate your Celestial Splendor Sect to the pinnacle six-star influence above You Country, it can ensure your Celestial Splendor Sect safely navigates the next five years. As long as you safely get through these five years, it’s not impossible for Celestial Splendor Sect to rise again in the future!"

"Why are you helping me?"

Qi Hua knew, what Sikong Zhuxing said was indeed correct.

But the Inspection Hall had never sheltered any influence before, only regulated the world’s forces, why suddenly help him?

Sikong Zhuxing didn’t answer, lazily putting his arm around Qi Hua’s shoulder, escorting him out of the Inspection Hall in plain sight, "Ask that question later. For now, you should meet the other few Royal Family’s King-Sealing experts. If you figure it out, feel free to come to the Inspection Hall to find me."
