System's Super Sect Chapter 1457 - 1130: Forty Middle Realm Experts Surround the Sword Demon

At this moment, Chen Xie on the second floor slowly walked up, then said, "The people from Hidden Dragon Pool are not the real trouble. The true trouble hasn’t arrived yet."

As soon as Chen Xie finished speaking, everyone cast startled, suspicious gazes toward him.

...

Sovereign of You Country.

Celestial Nether King’s Mansion.

After an anxious wait, the Ice King finally returned, bearing the Sovereign’s Golden Scroll.

"We got it, we got it! The Sovereign personally issued the order, and has dispatched Prince Si to travel with me—we are to head straight to Hidden Dragon Pool and execute the Sword Demon on the spot. Any who violate the decree will be condemned as traitors to the country."

Hearing these words from afar, the Celestial Nether King and the other two who were waiting in the Prince’s Mansion were overjoyed. Once the Ice King entered, they immediately took the Golden Scroll from him.

And read it over two or three times.

The Ice King laughed loudly at the side. "Those people under Prince Longyang did everything they could to obstruct it, praising Immortal Sect’s importance in the wars to come to high heaven. Unfortunately, the Sovereign’s patience with Jin Zhi Tower and Immortal Sect has already reached its limit!"

"Well done. With this Golden Scroll, we can send people to ’save’ the Sword Demon in broad daylight. Saving him will yield far greater profit than killing him!" The Celestial Nether King gripped the Golden Scroll, delighted. "Ice King, immediately take men and go with Prince Si to Hidden Dragon Pool. Right, King of Wujie, you go as well!"

"I need to go too?" The King of Wujie was somewhat puzzled.

The Ice King immediately cut in, "Leaving it to me is enough at this point. You all just wait here for my good news."

The Celestial Nether King hurriedly interrupted the two, then said, "The reason I’m sending you two isn’t to assist that Prince Si, but to stop him from killing the Sword Demon. In short, with this Golden Scroll in hand, the Sword Demon absolutely must not die. If he doesn’t die, the Immortal Sect’s crime of treason can be nailed down. Also, it’s to guard against Prince Longyang’s people forcing the Sword Demon’s execution, playing the martyr who cuts off his own arm."

The Celestial Nether King knew full well that Prince Longyang was unwilling to lose Immortal Sect, so in a panic he would certainly be capable of anything.

If he could send people posing as Immortal Sect disciples to rescue the Sword Demon, then Prince Longyang’s people would dare risk everything, posing as his men to kill the Sword Demon.

As for himself.

He wanted to make a trip to Ancestor Mountain.

To meet his father, because to uproot Immortal Sect was no simple matter. At least for now, without Half-Step Primordial Vast intervening, it would be very difficult.

Just as the Celestial Nether King finished laying out his entire plan, Wen Ping received a message from Sikong Zhuxing. To this, Wen Ping did not say much.

The only thing he understood was that this time, they were going to stop playing around.

Fortunately, he had already broken into the Upper Realm.

So he no longer worried.

After Sikong Zhuxing, Prince Longyang also contacted him via Sound Transmission Stone.

"Sect Leader Wen, this king truly is powerless. This time, the Sovereign is dead set on killing the Sword Demon, to give Immortal Sect and this king a show of force. No matter how I argued, the Sovereign still insists on killing the Sword Demon, and has sent a Sealing King to make the move."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." Wen Ping didn’t care about the Sealing King in the slightest. The only thing he dreaded lay with the Royal Family’s old ancestor.

Prince Longyang fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said in a deep voice, "Sect Leader Wen, as long as you are willing to aid me, in the future this king guarantees Immortal Sect will become the most powerful Sect in You Country. Whatever Immortal Sect wishes to do, this king will fully support it."

"What do you mean?"

"Sect Leader Wen, this king won’t beat around the bush. Elder Sword Demon definitely cannot be kept. This king hopes your Sect can make a painful sacrifice, cut off the rotten limb to save the body. As long as you weather this trial, this king guarantees to help Immortal Sect become the strongest Sect in You Country!"

He knew Wen Ping’s temperament.

So if he wasn’t blunt enough, Wen Ping might pretend not to understand.

Immediately after, Prince Longyang added, "This time, that Celestial Nether King and his lot will definitely use the Sword Demon as a lever. As long as Immortal Sect dares to save the Sword Demon, then Immortal Sect will have the heavy crime of treason imposed upon it. At that point, there’ll be no room left to reverse anything. Sect Leader Wen, those who accomplish great things must be ruthless. In this, this king believes you surely understand."

"If you’ve nothing else, hurry up and use your third chance already." Wen Ping couldn’t be bothered to say anything more; their principles were different.

He could be ruthless.

But only toward enemies.

Toward his own people, he couldn’t be as venomous as Prince Longyang, tossing them aside with a single word.

Abandon the Sword Demon?

Perhaps it would save a lot of trouble.

But if he were to cower because of this, then he might as well kick Weisheng Xingyu out of the Sect right now.

If he could not tolerate even a Sword Demon, could not tolerate even a Weisheng Xingyu, then he truly would be unworthy of the Sect System that descended from the heavens.

Besides, the reason he strove so hard in Cultivation was precisely so he wouldn’t have to make this sort of agonizing choice.

With that said, Wen Ping put away the Sound Transmission Stone.

On the other end, Prince Longyang, seeing the Sound Transmission Stone suddenly fall silent, recalled Wen Ping’s cold voice just now.

He could not calm down for a long time.

Only after a long while did he let out a heavy sigh, then sat down with an exhausted expression.

He was lost.

For the first time, he didn’t know what to do.

Clearly, abandoning the Sword Demon could minimize the consequences and trouble, yet the Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader simply refused to do so.

Judging from the tone of that last sentence, the Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader had even developed a sense of displeasure toward him—evidently, his relationship with Immortal Sect had returned to the starting point.

...

Hidden Dragon Pool.

As time passed, this battle had already raged for an entire day.

The Sword Demon had withstood the combined assault of forty Middle Realm experts for a full day, shocking every one of those Middle Realm experts.

At this moment, besides killing the Sword Demon, they had only one thought left.

Are all people of Immortal Sect this strong?

Starting from the disciples.

On the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, they were virtually invincible.

Up to the Elders.

From Celestial String, to Wood Dragon, then to the Sword Demon.

Each of them was that monstrous.

"If the Sword Demon manages to survive by some miracle this time and is later sealed as king, he will definitely be a figure on the level of He Youyuan." One Middle Realm expert couldn’t help but sigh.

Others became even more excited. "Kekekeke... Being able to slay such a figure, this seat feels all the more thrilled."

With those words, everyone pressed down toward the Sword Demon, intent on ending this war.

However.

Just as they pressed down, the Sword Demon turned into a streak of stunning radiance that shot straight into the sky, choosing to take the brunt of their Celestial Level Vein Technique attacks head-on.

As the Sword Demon shot skyward, at that moment only one person stood in his path. That person watched as the Sword Demon endured the bombardment of numerous Celestial Level Vein Techniques without suffering the slightest injury, then saw the final slash that split his body from head to toe.

Even at the moment of death, he did not understand why.

Yu Ji was also taken aback, and was about to retreat. However, with the Angel’s Power burning, the Sword Demon’s speed was terrifying.

Yu Ji was only a Lower Realm Demon Ancestor.

So in the blink of an eye, the Sword Demon appeared right before Yu Ji.

One single slash!

This slash split the Sea of Clouds.

This slash tore open the night curtain.

Under the vast Sword Intent, Yu Ji could only let out a startled cry before being drowned by the terrifying Sword Intent. "Father—"

The Cyan Ghost Race’s Demon Race members were dumbstruck.

The other Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm experts also froze.

Yu Ji had been killed!

Under their layered encirclement, the Sword Demon had suddenly exhausted himself, taking their Celestial Level Vein Techniques head-on just to kill Yu Ji in the sky.

"Just what Vein Technique has this Sword Demon been cultivating in Immortal Sect?" A Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm expert recalled that scene and couldn’t help feeling his heart tremble.

As for Yu Ji’s death.

Frankly, no one cared.

Because they had come for the Reward, not to protect Yu Ji.

Yu Ji’s death was something only the Cyan Ghost Race cared about.

Suddenly.

Hidden Dragon Pool erupted with a deafening blast.

An earth-shattering roar of fury rang out from beneath Hidden Dragon Pool, blasting all the Middle Realm experts above it tens of thousands of meters away in an instant.

"Courting death!"

The Sword Demon was no exception. Under that roar, he too was sent flying a thousand meters. But facing the terrifying pressure that came on the heels of that voice, the Sword Demon actually revealed a smile. Because Yu Ji was dead—the last person he needed to kill was already dead.

So he could die without regret!

"Tsk, there goes the Reward!"

"You’re still thinking about the Reward? Hurry up and run."

Those Middle Realm experts who had been blasted back by the roar retreated in a rush, terrified that the Cyan Ghost Race’s Upper Realm Demon Ancestor would slaughter them in its rage.

As they withdrew, countless members of the Cyan Ghost Race surged out from Hidden Dragon Pool, swarming toward the Sword Demon.

The terrifying pressure of that Upper Realm Demon Ancestor grew ever stronger.

Obviously, it was charging up from the depths at great speed.

Having done all this, the Sword Demon did not resist. Instead, he bore a calm expression as if ready to face death.

Because he knew that only by dying would he not drag Immortal Sect down. Alive, he would only bring trouble to Immortal Sect.

So in truth, his ending had been predetermined from the very start—death.

There was no second choice of living.

"Sect Leader, we’ll meet again in the next life!"

The Sword Demon returned to his Angel form, gladly awaiting death.
