System's Super Sect Chapter 1462 - 1134: The Sword Demon Elder Did It
Previously on System's Super Sect...
At this time, another person hurried over, seeing the surrounding prominent figures, he quickly slowed his pace, cautiously approaching the Celestial Nether King.
"Your Highness, the Sovereign’s decree, he requests your immediate presence at the Royal Palace."
As he finished speaking, everyone looked towards him.
Of course.
They weren’t looking at him.
They were listening to what he had said.
Immediately, everyone fell into deep thought, and their furrowed brows and unusual expressions indicated their various thoughts at that moment.
The King-Sealing person previously continued to speak.
"Your Highness, the news of the deaths of King of Wujie and Ice King has been temporarily suppressed by the Sovereign, clearly intending to make something bigger out of their deaths. However, his sudden summons at this time is likely not so simple."
The Celestial Nether King was silent for a few moments, his mind racing, "The fall of King of Wujie and Ice King is only beneficial to him, not harmful. The dignity of the Royal Family can never supersede the significance of the position of You Country’s Sovereign. Whatever he plans to do, I must meet with him."
"Your Highness, please be cautious. I fear he, like Prince Longyang speculates, intends to use this opportunity to reclaim the Sovereign’s position."
"Did Prince Longyang say this himself?"
"Indeed. The person I placed by his side personally heard him speculate that our Sovereign does not wish to step down."
"I have considered this as well. But I didn’t care before. Now, with King of Wujie and Ice King fallen, and King of Chaos and King of Harmony and Sorrow uninterested in vying for the Sovereign’s position, the only threats to him are myself and Prince Longyang."
After speaking, the Celestial Nether King fell into contemplation.
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t think of a solution.
The sudden deaths of King of Wujie and Ice King at the hands of Immortal Sect’s experts disrupted everything, forcing him to rearrange his plans.
And the need to rearrange plans isn’t the most deadly thing. The most fatal is if the Sovereign of You Country indeed refuses to step down, he will undoubtedly turn the Slaughter Saber upon either him or Prince Longyang. No matter whom he targets first with the saber, it will be a headache.
Could it be that he needs to collaborate with Prince Longyang?
...
Prince Longyang’s Mansion.
Prince Longyang also received the Sovereign’s summons at this moment, but he couldn’t spare a moment to think about it.
He was more concerned about the relationship with the Immortal Sect.
The Immortal Sect killing the Royal Family’s King-Sealing experts—what does it signify?
It signifies that the relationship with the Royal Family is completely severed from today. In some sense, they will turn from friends to enemies.
The event he least wanted to see inevitably happened.
After much hesitation, Prince Longyang still picked up the Sound Transmission Stone to contact Wen Ping.
"What’s the matter?"
Upon hearing Wen Ping’s voice, calm as water with no detectable emotion from the other side of the Sound Transmission Stone, Prince Longyang was momentarily at a loss for words.
Then, he could only muster the courage to speak, "Sect Leader Wen, I didn’t expect things to evolve like this. This time I’m truly powerless."
Wen Ping responded, "If needed, the Immortal Sect can still make a move for you. As long as it’s under the Half-Step Primordial Vast Realm, anything goes!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Longyang was immensely moved and urgently asked, "Sect Leader Wen, does your sect have a Half-Step Primordial Vast expert?"
If they do.
Then there’s hope.
If not, then even this third opportunity is useless.
"No comment, but I can tell you one thing. After you hear it, perhaps you’ll see things a bit clearer."
Prince Longyang tried to guess the implied meaning behind Wen Ping’s first four words, but no matter how he racked his brains, he couldn’t figure it out.
Do they have?
Or not?
Not?
Yet Sect Leader Wen didn’t seem anxious.
Could it be they have?
In the midst of doubt, Prince Longyang asked in a suspicious tone, "Sect Leader Wen, please speak."
Wen Ping said, "When Jiang Heshan left, he told Prince Longyang, Ice King, and King of Wujie that whoever destroys the Immortal Sect shall be the Sovereign of You Country."
"This..." Prince Longyang’s heart trembled fiercely.
While Prince Longyang was in a daze, Wen Ping left one sentence and then severed the connection with the Sound Transmission Stone, "Feel free to visit the Immortal Sect."
Finishing these words, Prince Longyang stood there stunned.
His eyes involuntarily revealed a hint of anger.
Because if what Sect Leader Wen said is true, then what does he amount to?
What happened to vying for the Sovereign’s position through competition?
No wonder!
No wonder the Celestial Nether King and the others specifically targeted the Immortal Sect.
Knowing full well that the Immortal Sect possesses powerful King-Sealing experts, possibly even stronger than He Youyuan, and not just one, yet they still made such a choice.
After a long while, Prince Longyang pushed open the room door.
He leisurely left the house, leading his people in grand departure from Prince Longyang’s Mansion, no longer low-key due to Wen Ping.
Meanwhile, after Wen Ping put away the Sound Transmission Stone, he prepared to visit the Immortal Pu Garden to check on his parents’ alchemy progress, but had just stepped out of Tingyu Pavilion when he encountered Uncle Lan.
Uncle Lan, who had been in hidden cultivation in the Immortal Sect for a while, was now at the Mountain Suppression Realm. However, Mountain Suppression Realm was not considered strong for the Immortal Sect.
Thus, Wen Ping had arranged him at the Limitless Pavilion to assist Chen Xie with the Immortal Daily. As one of the few elders of the Immortal Sect, Wen Ping didn’t expect him to become a Celestial Unrestricted expert, but wished for his well-being so that his father would have a friend.
After all, his father had only a few friends now.
The City Lord of Cangwu City, Huan Cheng, was one.
Uncle Lan was the second.
"Sect Leader, should the deaths of King of Wujie and Ice King be the headline for tomorrow’s Immortal Daily?"
Wen Ping didn’t hesitate at all, "It’s okay, people of You Country will find out sooner or later. Better sooner than later."
"Alright."
"Uncle Lan, You Country will certainly strike against the Immortal Daily next, possibly even capturing Immortal Sect people. Capturing the Immortal Sect members is definitely impossible, but they will definitely target the Limitless Pavilion people. If anything happens, remember to arrange things without personally getting involved."
"Sect Leader, I will, no need to worry." Uncle Lan gently smiled and then took leave from Wen Ping, who immediately went to the Immortal Pu Garden.
But halfway there, the Wood Dragon returned to the sect.
And brought back the Demon Emperor of the Cyan Ghost Race.
However, the Demon Emperor of the Cyan Ghost Race had already been beaten to the brink of death.
So much so that upon seeing Wen Ping, he groveled at his feet, disregarding his dignity, "Sect Leader Wen, I am willing to guard the gate, willing to guard the mountain gate for the Immortal Sect!"
Wen Ping glanced at the frightened appearance of the Demon Emperor of the Cyan Ghost Race, then said to the Wood Dragon, "What did you do to him?"
"Three hundred punches per breath, been hitting him continuously for five hours." The Wood Dragon calmly spoke, imitating Wen Ping’s usual manner.
Wen Ping gave a helpless smile.
One hundred punches per breath.
Six hundred punches per minute.
A single hour equals one hundred and twenty six hundred fists, that is seventy-two thousand fists.
Multiply by five.
A total of three hundred and sixty thousand fists!
Truly brutal!
...
The next day.
Celestial Sea City.
Qi Jiu patrolled the market as usual, greeting everyone he met, but this time his state of mind was entirely different.
Because he had already seen the news in the Immortal Daily.
The person who had once brandished the slaughter saber towards Vibrating Blade Sect was slain by the Sword Demon one by one. Whether military or government officials, none escaped death. This instantly dissolved much of the resentment and hatred he had accumulated over the years.
The smile at this moment was from the heart!
"Selling Immortal Daily." As the newspaper seller appeared in the market, he immediately sent someone to buy a copy.
After purchasing it, he hid in his own tavern to read it carefully.
But before he could read it, he heard the other members of the Zhen Sect exclaim in amazement.
"Yu Ji is dead too."
"The Sword Demon did it!"
"The main culprits of the Vibrating Blade Sect’s destruction, except the royal family, have all been killed. Our great vengeance has been avenged."
Upon hearing this, Qi Jiu excitedly opened the Immortal Daily. When the Vibrating Blade Sect was exterminated and his family perished, he was heartbroken. Now, the joy on his face was radiant.
"Not only that, but look further. The Sovereign of You Country has issued an order to assassinate the Sword Demon, yet the Immortal Sect has protected him. They’re not just protecting him, the experts of the Immortal Sect even killed the King of Wujie, Ice King, and Si King."
"This... This Immortal Sect is too ruthless. To protect the Sword Demon, they even killed two King-Sealing Experts, and both were of legitimate royal bloodline!"
"So strong, so strong."
In their eyes, there was no concept of Half-Step Primordial Vast.
So King-Sealing Experts were the limit in their minds.
The limit in their minds had been slain by experts of the Immortal Sect.
Isn’t the Immortal Sect invincible!
"Dao brother, thank you!" Qi Jiu listened to the cheers around him, then laughed heartily and spoke softly towards the Primordial Yang Domain.
But what they didn’t know was that not far from them, the Sword Demon was watching them and had also revealed a faint smile.
However, after a smile, the Sword Demon turned and left.
This turn also meant that from now on, they must be strangers.
You don’t know me.
I don’t know you either.
Otherwise, it would only bring them fatal disasters.
After the Sword Demon left, a little boy entered the tavern with a Storage Ring, specifically asking to see Qi Jiu.
Qi Jiu was stunned for a moment.
Not understanding why this little boy wanted to see him specifically.
But Qi Jiu eventually met him.
"Senior, this is something given to you by an uncle." After the little boy handed over the item, he hurried back to the door.
Qi Jiu looked at the valuable Storage Ring in front of him, picked it up confusedly, then probed it with his perception, instantly stunned.
Piles of White Crystal that formed a mountain!
At the very least, there were millions.
And possibly more.
Moreover, there were Earth Level Upper Grade Cultivation Techniques, Earth Level Upper Grade Vein Techniques, among others.
Qi Jiu quickly sent the little boy away, giving him some benefits, and then closed the door tightly and set up a Sound Insulation Barrier.
"Things in this Storage Ring, even average five-star influences don’t have such deep reserves. With it, the future of the Zhen Sect is limitless."
"Ah!"
Everyone was shocked.
After seeing the contents of the Storage Ring, it took a moment for their emotions to settle.
These items were too precious for the Zhen Sect, which was only considered a four-star influence.
Then everyone began to wildly speculate who gave them these.
Qi Jiu slowly opened his mouth, "It should be Dao brother left for us. Do not spread this matter, violators will be punished by death!"
"Yes!"
Everyone nodded.
After the words fell, Qi Jiu sank into memories.
...
Immortal Sect.
Wen Ping continued his cultivation and tried to let Cyan Lotus Sword guide him in cultivating the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent.
Although the Cyan Lotus Sword’s power was similar to his, its understanding of Sword Intent far surpassed it.
That sword point move, if learned, would deepen his realm in Cyan Lotus Sword Intent further, surely pushing his power to the next level.
Because the ancestors of the royal family of You Country were not all like Jiang Heshan.
With his current strength, he cannot achieve invincibility, and he might not even achieve a stalemate.
Just as Wen Ping was preparing to take a break and eat something in the kitchen, Chen Xie suddenly came rushing.
Though it wasn’t because he had uncovered the true identities of those thirty Middle Realm cultivators.
"Sect Leader, Prince Longyang just sent me a message. The Sovereign of You Country summoned him, and also the King of Chaos, King of Harmony and Sorrow, and the Celestial Nether King. The King of Chaos and King of Harmony and Sorrow actively applied to go to the Beize Domain to fight. He and the Celestial Nether King were assigned a task—to eradicate the Immortal Sect! Moreover, the Sovereign of You Country went to Ancestor Mountain to meet the royal ancestor Jiang Heshan."
"If it were just Jiang Heshan, that wouldn’t be a problem." Wen Ping knew Jiang Heshan’s power, "But when the time comes, it’s definitely not just Jiang Heshan alone."
"Sect Leader, what do we do?"
Although Chen Xie was anxious, he was not panicked.
Because the Sect Leader’s expression didn’t change, nor was there any panic.
Wen Ping responded, "Don’t worry, Endless Celestial Suspension will help us. Previously, I asked Long Ke to investigate something; has she found it yet?"
"Still investigating, but this time the one overseeing the battle in Beize Domain is He Youyuan’s top subordinate, Yi Luotian. It’s rumored he’s the biological son of Endless Celestial Suspension. Whether that’s true, we don’t know yet, Endless Celestial Suspension has hidden these too well."
"Then investigate carefully, as quickly as possible." The sooner, the more advantageous for the Immortal Sect. Only if Endless Celestial Suspension is preoccupied can You Country not focus on dealing with the Immortal Sect. Unless they want to be exploited by Endless Celestial Suspension and directly hit the Central Divine Domain."
"Yes, Sect Leader!" Chen Xie nodded.
(Terrifying.
Because of one person, the whole city, over a million people, must get nucleic acid tests.
Sigh.
Really speechless.)
