System's Super Sect Chapter 1445 - 1222: Entry Allowed, Exit Forbidden

"Isn’t it the rule in the You Country’s royal family that each sovereign can only reign for two hundred years? If he doesn’t want to abdicate, can he simply choose not to?"

Wen Ping had considered this before.

However, he certainly couldn’t say this to Prince Longyang.

Prince Longyang hesitated for a few breaths, then said in a deep voice, "Actually, this should not be spoken of, but since Sect Leader Wen has mentioned it, I naturally won’t hide it. If it were before, he wouldn’t want to step down, but the ancestors would force him to abdicate. But now, the war between You Country and the Heaven-Covering Tower is intensifying, giving him a reason to postpone abdicating by a hundred years."

"That’s merely a justification." Wen Ping understood clearly that Prince Longyang was sharing this news simply to seek more help from the Immortal Sect. Perhaps he was also trying to probe the true intentions of the Immortal Sect.

Upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, Prince Longyang fell into a brief silence, as he hadn’t heard the response he hoped for.

This also meant that the connection between the Immortal Sect and him remained limited to that final third intervention opportunity.

In resignation, Prince Longyang could only lament, "Now we can only hope that this war ends soon, otherwise waiting another hundred years is too long."

After saying that, after a few casual pleasantries, Prince Longyang put away the Sound Transmission Stone.

Once he stashed the Sound Transmission Stone away, he began to contemplate how to make the Immortal Sect owe him a favor again, or persuade them to assist him.

Clearly.

Neither the Celestial Level Top-Grade Vein Skill nor the White Crystal was likely to sway the Immortal Sect Leader.

While contemplating, Prince Longyang received urgent intelligence from an agent embedded near the Celestial Nether King.

Upon reading the intelligence, Prince Longyang was overjoyed.

Because the Celestial Nether King, Ice King, and King of Wujie had all begun to fight individually, their alliance crumbled due to the withdrawal of the King of Harmony and Sorrow.

Additionally, the trio was preparing to target the Immortal Sect, simultaneously anonymously placing bounties on Immortal Sect members.

As long as they were Immortal Sect disciples.

Killing one could reap a generous reward.

Divine Profound Realm: one million White Crystals.

Mountain Suppression Realm: ten million White Crystals.

Profound Realm: fifty million White Crystals.

Heaven Unrestricted: a full one hundred million White Crystals.

Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm: five hundred million White Crystals.

Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm: two billion White Crystals.

"After Sima Tianxuan’s defeat, You Country forces will certainly tread carefully around the Immortal Sect, but great rewards will always entice heroes!" Prince Longyang rejoiced, thinking the Celestial Nether King and his cohorts were indeed his cherished allies, just when he was worried about drawing closer to the Immortal Sect.

After regaining his thoughts, Prince Longyang promptly issued orders, "Inform the Great Domain Masters of the Primordial Yang Domain and Longze Domain to immediately enact decrees. The front line is in crisis; Beize Domain’s battle situation is tense. To prevent the Heaven-Covering Tower’s agents from causing disturbances in the rear of the You Country and to ensure swift support from cultivators of the two domains to Beize Domain, from today onward, all Curved Realm Passages of every sect and every race, etc., will be strictly guarded by the Divine Shadow Army, exit only, no entry. For a period of one year!"

Without Curved Realm Passages, cultivators below Heaven Unrestricted wanting to go to the Red Domain would have quite the journey ahead. Even with Wing Race demon mounts, it would still take at least one to two years.

Even those at Heaven Unrestricted, without Curved Realm Passages from Longze Domain to Red Domain, relying solely on flying, wouldn’t reach in less than two or three months. Of course, nobody at Heaven Unrestricted would dare to charge into the Immortal Sect recklessly, as cultivating to Heaven Unrestricted was no easy feat.

One must have a life to spend the rewards.

Soon after, Prince Longyang’s orders were swiftly delivered to the Great Domain Masters of Longze Domain and Primordial Yang Domain, who immediately issued decrees and commanded their Domain Lord’s Mansion personnel, escorted by a large Divine Shadow Army, to take over all the Curved Realm Passages in the two great domains.

In just three days, all Curved Realm Passages across the two great domains were sealed by the Divine Shadow Army, exit only, no entry.

For a moment, those daredevil rogues intended to act as heroes faced difficulty, as the journey to the Red Domain was simply too long.

When Chen Xie informed Wen Ping of this matter, Wen Ping had just finished his cultivation in the Endless Tower and was preparing to visit the Immortal Pu Garden for further cultivation.

Wen Ping chuckled helplessly at this.

"That Prince Longyang is indeed a good person," Chen Xie couldn’t help but praise.

Wen Ping responded, "Regardless of his initial intent, at least he knows how to act. Also, keep an eye on the Celestial Nether King and the others; inform me immediately when they appear on the Beize Domain battlefield. If they enjoy stirring up trouble, then I’ll make use of their lives."

For certain, instigating the war between You Country and the Heaven-Covering Tower must be done, and what better way to escalate the conflict than to use someone from the Heaven-Covering Tower to kill a member of the royal family?

Chen Xie then inquired, "Sect Leader, what about the Thousand Crafts Sect? I just investigated that the Celestial Nether King and the others issued the anonymous bounties through them. The Thousand Crafts Sect acts as the intermediary, hence these anonymous bounties have high credibility."

"Don’t concern yourself with them right now." Handling the Thousand Crafts Sect must be done eventually, but certainly not now.

"How about we also post some bounties in the Immortal Daily? Target the Thousand Crafts Sect’s people, using the Vortex Map and Vortex Killing Artifact as rewards. I believe they’d attract more interest than the White Crystals offered by the Celestial Nether King and his group."

"No need for that." The Vortex Map and Vortex Killing Artifact can only be sold; if used as bounty rewards, my mission would fail.

Failing the mission would leave me without a way to earn reputation.

Chen Xie nodded, "I understand."

"Alright, carry on with your tasks." Wen Ping didn’t say more; after putting away the Sound Transmission Stone, he immediately headed to the Immortal Pu Garden.

On the other side, after stashing away the Sound Transmission Stone, Chen Xie fell deep into thought.

Although the Sect Leader didn’t plan to counter the Thousand Crafts Sect, as a member of the Immortal Sect and the Endless Tower’s Master.

He felt compelled to give the Thousand Crafts Sect a warning. Consequently, the next day’s Immortal Daily featured numerous scandals.

Whose scandals?

The scandals of some renowned Vortex Divine Artisans of the Thousand Crafts Sect.

Of course.

These things are not uncommon in a world where the strong prey on the weak, but everyone actually wants to maintain a righteous image in the eyes of others, so once the scandals were exposed, especially spreading throughout You Country, the mindset of the Thousand Crafts Sect’s Vortex Divine Artisans crumbled instantly.

In the following days, the Immortal Daily continued to make revelations, even exposing the past of the Thousand Crafts Sect Leader.

Suddenly, in You Country, people showed less concern over the bounty on Immortal Sect disciples and more interest in the scandals of those high-and-mighty Vortex Divine Artisans from the Thousand Crafts Sect, discussing them as part of everyday banter.

The reputation built over hundreds of years by the Thousand Crafts Sect changed completely in just a few days, leaving Sect Leader Gui Xin Wu Ni exceptionally irate.

Yet also extremely helpless.

Since the Immortal Daily held the National Lord’s Golden Scroll.

He was at a loss.

In resignation, Gui Xin Wu Ni could only personally visit the Capital City and meet with the Celestial Nether King and the others who had originally involved him as an intermediary.

His first words upon meeting were, "If you three do not resolve the insult the Immortal Daily posed to the Thousand Crafts Sect, then seek another suitable intermediary! My Thousand Crafts Sect cannot let hundreds of years of reputation be tarnished overnight!"

(Sigh, writer’s block...)
