System's Super Sect Chapter 1407 - 1197: The Assassination Begins

As the final burst of emotions settled, the three of them unintentionally shared the same thought.

To cooperate one last time!

Because they were truly incensed by Prince Longyang’s behavior.

Letting it go was not their style.

Yet, they also knew very well that trying to catch the Domain Lord of Longze Domain at fault to undermine him was not realistic.

Hoping for the Sovereign to replace the Great Domain Master was even less realistic.

For the Sovereign now turned a blind eye to Celestial Splendor Sect’s allegiance to the Inspection Hall.

Evidently, the abnormal demise of King Yeze on the battlefield, and the unknown truth behind it, forced the Sovereign to rethink their rivalry.

Though there was no intention to intervene yet, the Sovereign’s indifference to the actions of the Inspection Hall was enough to show his dissatisfaction.

As for assassination.

The three of them had considered it.

But Jian Po was still the Great Domain Master of Longze Domain.

Any mistake in the assassination would plunge the three into a quagmire.

If serious, they might even face the wrath of the ancestors, losing their right to compete for the position of Sovereign.

"So, we need to get everyone involved." King of Wujie slowly rose, his deep-set eyes radiating a peculiar light.

The cold Ice King beside him and the always furious King of Chaos nodded in agreement, then followed King of Wujie’s lead towards the Celestial Nether King’s Mansion on the other side of the Capital City.

Celestial Nether King.

Has always been the most powerful and influential among the seven royal families’ King-Sealing Experts.

As for the other, King of Harmony and Sorrow.

He is only second to Celestial Nether King in power and influence.

Because both are very strong.

Therefore, the earlier cooperation to divide Zeming Palace did not include them.

But now things were different.

This time, to assassinate the Domain Lord of Longze Domain, they must be included.

...

Just like that, a few days passed.

Wen Ping maintained his good cultivation habits, and to his surprise, his mother unexpectedly succeeded in alchemy repeatedly over these few days.

Of course.

Successfully refining Seventh Grade pills repeatedly was not surprising.

The surprise was that the second successful batch was a Sixth Grade pill.

The third batch was a Fifth Grade!

As for Wen’s father.

He was still immersed in the sea of Seventh Grade poison pills.

In a few days, he refined all sorts of poison pills of various effects.

The strength of talent was quite evident.

At that time, members of the Immortal Sect gradually discovered the presence of the Pill Tower and Immortal Pu Garden, and learned about alchemists from Wen’s mother.

Seeing the Immortal Sect members’ strong curiosity for alchemists, Wen Ping did not stop them; he didn’t even stop their steps into the Pill Tower, but he did stop many from wanting to try alchemy, not allowing them to enter the Pill Recipe Area.

"For those wishing to learn alchemy, those cultivating Meridian Gate must reach Earth Unrestricted before discussing further. For those cultivating Magic, Spiritual Power must reach the Second Stage." Wen Ping set a threshold for everyone to prevent anyone from suddenly indulging in alchemy and delaying cultivation.

The Immortal Sect members had no objection to Wen Ping’s threshold, understanding the importance of time.

Also understanding that their talent was not the best.

If they wish to cultivate the Meridian Gate and also wish to engage in alchemy, surely both paths will not take them far in the end.

"By the way, father, mother, the pills you refine in the future can be sold to them or handed over to the Sect’s Treasure Vault, which can be exchanged for Sect Task Points."

Upon hearing this, Wen’s father, mother, and the Immortal Sect members showed expressions of joy and anticipation.

Wen’s father immediately shouted, "I have ten poison gas bombs. Once activated with Vein Qi and thrown out, within five breaths it can bring down all Profound Realm experts within a hundred-meter radius. Anyone who wants to buy, just give me Sect Points, and I will sell!"

However.

No one responded.

Because currently, the lowest cultivation in the Immortal Sect is——Divine Profound Upper Realm.

Seeing everyone looking at each other, Uncle Lan quickly spoke, "Old Sect Leader, I’ll take them!"

"Good brother!" Wen’s father was very moved.

Seeing this, Wen Ping smiled helplessly, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, he left the Pill Tower.

After leaving the Pill Tower, he had intended to visit the Cyan Dragon Cave in the Final Forbidden Area to hone his Cyan Lotus Sword Technique, but unexpectedly received a transmission from Prince Longyang.

From the Sound Transmission Stone, Prince Longyang’s voice carried a faint tone of worry.

"Sect Leader Wen, how is the situation in Longze Domain?"

"Calm and peaceful."

However, upon hearing this answer, Prince Longyang did not seem relieved, still sounding quite anxious, "Sect Leader Wen, my people discovered a few days ago that the other five royal families’ King-Sealing Experts met privately. If nothing unexpected happens, they may act at any time. In a few days, it’s King Yeze’s funeral, and during this time, all royal families are not allowed to leave the Capital City. I am spread thin; they are very likely to send someone to assassinate Jian Po during this time, so I would like to ask the old Sword God to make a trip to guard the Domain Lord’s Mansion!"

A few days ago, upon knowing the five met privately, he urgently ordered Jian Po not to leave the Domain Lord’s Mansion even if the sky collapses.

Because as long as Jian Po does not leave the Domain Lord’s Mansion, they cannot easily deal with Jian Po. After all, the defense and power of the Domain Lord’s Mansion are formidable.

Added with his secretly implanted men.

Without at least seven Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm experts attacking the Domain Lord’s Mansion simultaneously, Jian Po inside the mansion wouldn’t be in danger.

He knew this well.

And naturally, the other royal families’ King-Sealing Experts knew this too.

Thus, the ones who would act are surely the King-Sealing Experts, aiming to kill Jian Po with a single strike.

In such a case, unless there is a King-Sealing Expert offering personal protection to Jian Po, Jian Po is bound to die.

"Your Highness, Jian Po won’t die," Wen Ping didn’t respond much further, after all, there was no old Sword God; it was all made up by him.

Upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, Prince Longyang thought Wen Ping agreed to his request, and the weight in his heart instantly lightened, "I trust Sect Leader Wen! I didn’t expect that they would jointly suggest to the Sovereign to hold the national funeral for King Yezhe these days, restricting my freedom to leave the Capital City."

After hearing Prince Longyang’s words, Wen Ping did not continue to say much.

Once the call ended, he immediately put away the Sound Transmission Stone.

If a King-Sealing Expert attacks Jian Po, Wood Dragon can block it.

Once blocked, he would then proceed to kill them.

Simple.

Just as Wen Ping was about to go and cultivate, the Sound Transmission Stone came to life again.

This time it was from Wood Dragon.

"Sect Leader, someone has come to attack us."

"Speak of the devil?"

"There are six people in total, all of them at the Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm. Shall I intervene?"

"No need, wait until the King-Sealing comes,"

Wen Ping put away the Sound Transmission Stone, then immediately headed to the Infinite Knowledge Tower, and instantly dispatched a free Black Shadow to observe the battle.

...

Above the Longze Domain Lord’s Mansion.

Six Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm experts, dressed like members of the Zhentian Tower Battle Division, hovered above the Domain Lord’s Mansion, demanding Jian Po to come out directly.

After their words fell, the Meridian Gates of the six masters all trembled simultaneously.

Each one released a Celestial Level Vein Skill toward the Domain Lord’s Mansion, which activated the defense array, stubbornly taking on the six Celestial Level Vein Skills.

As for the surroundings without the protection of the defense array, they instantly turned into ruins. The entire city awoke instantly.

Exclamations and shouts rose immediately.

"Middle Realm experts attacking the city!"

"Middle Realm experts attacking the city!"

"Retaliate, why are you just shouting? Look at where we are! What’s to fear?"

"Retaliate against what? Six Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm experts, if you’re eager to die, feel free to counter, but I’m leaving first."

"Six of them!"

"What’s going on? How come six Middle Realm experts suddenly attacked the city? Have they gone mad! Seeking death?"

Amidst the rising voices, one masked Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm expert in the sky coldly said, "Jian Po, are you sure you still want to hide?"

"You can hide, but your citizens can’t. Since you enjoy hiding in a turtle shell, we will slaughter your citizens first!" Another masked person chimed in, bursting into loud, maniacal laughter.

Bang—

With the trembling of the Meridian Gates, the six Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm experts immediately prepared for a sweeping clean of the surrounding city.

At this moment, two Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm experts suddenly emerged from the city.

They were people from Prince Longyang!

"Courting death!"

The two instantly charged forward, despite being outnumbered.

"Just in time!"

Four of the masked people immediately surrounded them.

Meanwhile, in the Domain Lord’s Mansion, Jian Po was preparing to lead his people out to fight, but was stopped by the Vice Domain Master beside him.

"Brother Jian, you mustn’t be impulsive. Didn’t the Prince tell you, no matter what happens, don’t leave the Domain Lord’s Mansion? We’ll go out to meet the enemy!"

After speaking, the Vice Domain Master immediately activated his Meridian Gate, leading a group of Heaven Unrestricted experts to charge out.

With their appearance, a large number of Divine Shadow Army from the Domain Lord’s Mansion also rushed out, heading towards the masked ones in the sky.

At this moment, two more flashes appeared in the sky, swiftly crossing the long sky, descending toward those in the Divine Shadow Army.

Another two masked Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm experts!

Along with the previous six.

A total of eight!

Both sides clashed, and the situation was completely one-sided.

Centered around the Domain Lord’s Mansion, within tens of thousands of meters instantly became a battlefield.

Existences below the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted in this battle were like porcelain bowls, breaking at the slightest bump or scratch.

Even though there were thousands of Divine Shadow Army forming a Vein Array to resist, it was of no avail.

The gap in realm was too significant.

Perhaps with a hundred times more people, it could be blocked.

Inside the Domain Lord’s Mansion, Jian Po gazed at the scene, trembling, about to rush out and fight, when he heard the voice of his parents from behind.

Jian Po’s body halted instantly.

"Child, their target is you. If you go out, all their sacrifices will be meaningless," his father advised.

Jian Po answered with great pain and urgency, "But my citizens are being slaughtered, along with my subordinates, my friends; they’re in danger. I can’t let them die for me! Even if I’m trapped, I believe in Prince Longyang, and also in the Immortal Sect."

Saying this, Jian Po opened the door.

The steps were small, but unusually firm.

After stepping outside, he transformed into a flash, heading straight for the sky, eager to join the battle. At this moment, four more flashes appeared.

Four flashes emerged from the city, heading directly for Jian Po.

"There’s even more!" Jian Po cursed under his breath, but did not look back, continuing to fly toward higher skies.

Only higher.

Only then will their battle not affect the city.
