System's Super Sect Chapter 1450 - 1125: Sword Demon Decides to Take Revenge

The Sword Demon froze for a moment, then slowly spoke. "I know you hate me. These years, I’ve been living in repentance too."

Qi Jiu let out a mute laugh, then said, "Brother Dao, what are you saying? What would I hate you for? I’m just really happy you’re not dead. I used to think I had no family left in this world, never expected you’d still be alive."

"You don’t hate me?" The Sword Demon looked puzzled.

He’d gotten the Vibrating Blade Sect killed.

He’d gotten everyone in the Vibrating Blade Sect killed.

How could they not hate him?

Qi Jiu tugged the Sword Demon to sit down, then smiled as he explained, "When Father secretly sent me out of the Vibrating Blade Sect, he told me back then the Sect was already tottering in the storm. The people who wanted the Vibrating Blade Sect gone were terrifyingly strong, with a background that was even scarier."

The Sword Demon came to a sudden realization.

So it was Master.

Because Master himself had forgiven him, he’d lied to Qi Jiu that the fall of the Vibrating Blade Sect had little to do with him.

"Of course, later everyone said the destruction of the Vibrating Blade Sect was linked to you, Brother Dao. Lots of people cursed you as a traitor. But Father and we all knew you weren’t. You just ran into a woman who was too good at twisting hearts. Even Prince Yeze couldn’t escape that demoness’s claws, got bewitched until he couldn’t tell up from down—so what chance did you have, Brother Dao?"

With that, Qi Jiu hurried up to order wine and dishes prepared, and had that jar of five-hundred-year-old fine brew carried out.

You could tell Qi Jiu was truly delighted.

"Brother Dao, this wine is really something. Tonight we drink with our guts wide open—no getting up till we’re drunk."

The Sword Demon choked up. "Drink! No getting up till we’re drunk."

"Brother Dao, it’s not just you and me from the Vibrating Blade Sect who’re still alive—there are quite a few others!" As Qi Jiu went out, planning to call in the upper ranks of Zhen Sect—the people who’d survived from the Vibrating Blade Sect—the Sword Demon pulled out a Sound Transmission Stone and asked Chen Xie for all intel on Zhen Sect.

Including the people and powers who’d destroyed the Vibrating Blade Sect back then, and the ones behind them.

...

Immortal Sect.

Wen Ping, who was cultivating, received Chen Xie’s transmission.

"Sect Leader, Elder Sword Demon has met survivors of the Vibrating Blade Sect in Celestial Sea City of Longze Domain, and he’s also asked me for the list of culprits who destroyed the Vibrating Blade Sect back then. I suspect Elder Sword Demon might be planning to avenge the Vibrating Blade Sect!"

Wen Ping reminded him, "No need to suspect—he will definitely go for revenge. Unless he never cared about the Vibrating Blade Sect in his heart, nor about his master."

"Sect Leader, should we stop Elder Sword Demon? You Country’s situation is incredibly complicated right now, and the Royal Family is eyeing us like tigers." Chen Xie spoke hesitantly. He knew it was absolutely impossible to make Elder Sword Demon give up avenging the Vibrating Blade Sect.

But at this very moment, if some new trouble gets stirred up, the You Country Royal Family will definitely use it as leverage.

After all, on that list of culprits who destroyed the Vibrating Blade Sect are You Country officials, You Country military, and even members of the Royal Family.

Wen Ping understood Chen Xie’s worries, but he didn’t care what the Sword Demon wanted to do, or how big he made it. "Don’t stop him. Let him do whatever he wants. You keep an eye on those Royal Family Sealing Kings at all times, or think of a way to lure those Sealing Kings out."

"Yes, Sect Leader." Chen Xie nodded.

If it were before, he might insist a bit.

But now?

Since the Sect Leader had said so, he had no need to worry at all.

...

Celestial Sea City.

Zhen Sect.

After three rounds of drinking, late into the night.

A little drunk, the Sword Demon swept his gaze around the room at the survivors of the Vibrating Blade Sect—there were faces he recognized, and faces completely unfamiliar.

Qi Jiu and the others weren’t like him; drinking deep into the night, they were basically dead drunk. Once they got truly drunk, they started reminiscing about the Vibrating Blade Sect.

Talking freely about the glory days in the Vibrating Blade Sect.

And lamenting the miserable, cautious days they were living now.

The Sword Demon didn’t take up the topic. He just took out three Sensing Crystal Stones from his Storage Ring. Once they shattered, he would be able to sense it no matter where he was.

"Keep these three Sensing Stones on you. If Zhen Sect runs into a problem it can’t solve, you can crush one. There are only three. This is all I can do for you right now." The Sword Demon didn’t dare let these survivors get entangled in his network again.

Because he knew very well what kind of people wanted to kill members of the Immortal Sect. And the strongest in Zhen Sect was just at the Upper Realm of the Mountain Suppression Realm.

So going forward, it was best not to get involved at all. Without involvement, they might at least keep living—even if that life was far worse than before.

Qi Jiu’s slightly flushed face showed a bitter smile. "Brother Dao, you’re leaving? Why do you have to leave? I can give you the position of Sect Leader of Zhen Sect!"

"I will definitely come again." He would certainly come again, but absolutely not under the identity of the Sword Demon—after all, Qi Jiu was Master’s only bloodline.

With that said, the Sword Demon stood up straight away.

Before leaving, he left them with a single sentence.

"Remember to read the Immortal Daily these next two days."

Qi Jiu rushed out after him, but aside from the star-filled sky and the gentle night wind, there was no sign of the Sword Demon anywhere.

"Brother Dao..."

Qi Jiu gave a bitter smile.

And the first thing the Sword Demon did after leaving Zhen Sect was to take out the Sound Transmission Stone and contact Wen Ping.

When the Stone connected, the Sword Demon went straight to the point. "Sect Leader, I’m going to kill some people—people who must die. Some are You Country officials, some are military. There are even some who’ve already defected to Prince Longyang’s banner."

After speaking, the Sword Demon fell silent.

He quietly waited for his Sect Leader’s reply.

After a long while, Wen Ping answered, "Isn’t there still the You Country Royal Family on that list? Since you’ve decided on revenge, where’s your resolve?"

"Sect Leader, killing members of the Royal Family will bring you and the Sect a lot of trouble." He was definitely going to take revenge, but if the price was making the Immortal Sect bear the consequences, he’d rather kill fewer enemies and let them keep on living.

"Trouble? When have you ever seen this Sect Leader afraid of trouble? And how big can it be? Bigger than the trouble of killing Prince Yeze and imprisoning Sima Tianxuan?"

"It might be."

"Then we’ll deal with it when the time comes. After you’re done this run, come back and cultivate properly. Push for the Upper Realm honestly—Si Haixian has already reached the Upper Realm."

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

With those words, the Sword Demon put away the Sound Transmission Stone.

Then he turned into a streak of shocking light, heading toward the first person who had to die.

Three days later.

Wen Ping still hadn’t received any news about the Sword Demon, but he did receive good news brought by Chen Xie.

Just as he’d predicted, none of the Six-star Influences went to Exhaustive Knowledge Pavilion to cancel cooperation; instead, they all just issued Sect bans.

Sect bans were purely for the You Country Royal Family’s eyes.

"Sect Leader, those remaining Six-star Influences all found many Loose Cultivators to sell the Immortal Daily for them. But those Loose Cultivators are basically not Loose Cultivators at all—they’re almost all secret eyes planted by various Sects across different regions. Their original role was to monitor hostile forces and subordinate influences."

Chen Xie was overjoyed.

Wen Ping wasn’t surprised at all, and continued, "Even if they have to give up some subordinate influences, those Six-star Influences won’t abandon that piece of meat that is the Immortal Daily. Besides, the worst-case scenario for them now is merely discarding some eyes that can be cultivated again whenever they want."

"Sect Leader, this move of yours is too brilliant. With one move, you’ve countered the You Country Royal Family’s ban to death. That Sovereign of You Country probably never imagined that the Six-star Influences who always act loyal and devoted to the Royal Family are actually one way to their face and another way behind their backs."

"These Six-star Influences are merely cowed by the You Country Royal Family’s strength. If you want them to be genuinely loyal, that road is still long." Wen Ping sighed. He knew he would certainly run into this problem himself in the future.

But in truth, this problem didn’t even count as a problem.

Wen Ping had never planned to accept any subordinate influences other than the Lake Demon Race of Demon Emperor Lake.

And he wasn’t worried at all that Demon Emperor Lake would one day be disloyal. Because there was the Nuwa Statue, and there was the Sect System.

"Sect Leader, once the You Country Sovereign and the Thousand Crafts Sect Leader and Celestial Nether King find out, they’ll definitely be dying of rage." Chen Xie smiled smugly, then added, "Sect Leader, I’ve got all the dirt on the Thousand Crafts Sect Leader here. Want to include it?"

"Handle that yourself. But since the You Country Royal Family and those Six-star Influences of the Central Divine Domain are so eager to ban the Immortal Daily, let them play at pretending to be blind. Also, for the Immortal Daily editions in the other major Domains besides the Central Divine Domain, distribute some purchase quotas. As for how many to distribute, discuss the details with Master Zi Ran. Though the Purple Treasure Pavilion isn’t expanding outward for now, we can use Teleportation Arrays to bring these customers into the Primordial Yang Domain."

In fact, Wen Ping didn’t do this purely to get back at the You Country Royal Family; he was also gradually expanding the influence of Purple Treasure Pavilion.

Once the time was ripe, he could build one—or even several—Purple Treasure Pavilions in every major Domain, turning Purple Treasure Pavilion into the Holy Land of the Vortex Lineage!
