System's Super Sect Chapter 1477 - 1144: Preparing to Negotiate Peace with the遮天楼 (First Update, Monthly Pass Requested)

You Country Capital.

At this moment, the palace’s grand hall of You Country was unusually filled with high-ranking military officers, as the battlefield of the Beize Domain had shown new developments.

"Sovereign, currently in Beize Domain, regardless of the battlefield, East Ridge, Celestial Flow River, or Lingfeng Mountain Range, the presence of Skyscraper Ministry Level Experts has begun to appear frequently. Within a single day, at least ten instances have emerged. Our forces can only fight and retreat, and in two days, we have already retreated a full eight hundred miles!"

"Currently, only Celestial Gaze Gorge, stationed by Hall Master He, remains calm. However, even if Hall Master He can stabilize the situation at Celestial Gaze Gorge, when the battlefield and East Ridge retract over a thousand miles, Celestial Gaze Gorge will also have to retreat; otherwise, it would be surrounded by the Skyscraper troops from all sides."

A King-Sealing Expert spoke gravely.

Just as the voice faded, another King-Sealing Expert urgently replied, "They must have obtained information from the Immortal Daily and are probing us. Sovereign, if we mishandle this situation, validating the news from the Immortal Daily, they will undoubtedly invade massively!"

Once the voice concluded.

Another person chimed in.

"Based on reports from our ’stake,’ the reports of our You Country King-Sealing Experts suffering severe losses also appeared in the Immortal Daily. Upon seeing this news, Skyscraper is dispatching more Ministry Level Experts toward the Beize Domain battlefield!"

The entirety of the grand hall was filled with worry.

Only Prince Longyang, King of Chaos, and King of Harmony and Sorrow, the three members of the Royal Family, remained silent, seemingly indifferent to these developments.

After a while, Thorn seemed irritated by the chatter and raised a hand to reprimand everyone, saying, "Enough, aren’t you all finished yet?"

One angry shout finally silenced the chatter in the grand hall.

Thorn rubbed his forehead, then his gaze fell on the silent Sikong Zhuxing, "Sikong Zhuxing, has the Immortal Sect agreed to the peace talks?"

"No response at all." Sikong Zhuxing sighed and shook his head, contemplating continuing the discussion when a loud noise interrupted.

Bam——

Thorn slammed the table in front of him, rising in anger, cursing, "Such audacity from the Immortal Sect. I’ve been accommodating enough, yet they continue to push further. Do they really think that You Country seeks peace talks out of fear of their Immortal Sect’s power?"

Thorn’s rage brought silence to the hall.

Then, he resolutely declared, "Sikong Zhuxing, immediately contact your master and have him seek out Yiluotian to prepare for negotiations. Whatever the conditions, they can be discussed. If the Immortal Sect wants to be the fisherman, that’s impossible! If they want to be the fisherman, I’ll cease fighting and focus all efforts against the Immortal Sect. Let’s see how rampant they become!"

With that, Thorn tossed the already drafted Golden Scroll to Sikong Zhuxing and then stormed out, ignoring the bewilderment and opposition from those present.

Helplessly, everyone could only accept this outcome.

The Sovereign has given the order; what choice do they have?

Prince Longyang still said nothing. Once Thorn left, he also walked out leisurely from the palace. Upon returning to the Prince’s Mansion, he went straight to retreat.

No one was to be seen.

...

Immortal Sect.

Wenping had just returned to the Immortal Sect when Long Ke rushed over, meticulously detailing the intelligence he had gathered to Wenping.

"Sect Leader, Elder Weisheng and the others killed a person named Flame Moon, an exceptionally powerful Middle Realm cultivator under Yiluotian, ranked sixty-third on the Celestial Ranking. As for the location of Flame Moon’s death, it was outside the territory of You Country."

"Where?"

"In the Extermination of the Nether Realm, roughly a thousand miles from the battlefield. After Flame Moon’s death, Yiluotian personally visited the site of Flame Moon’s death. Whether Elder Weisheng’s identity has been detected is unknown; however, after visiting the site, Yiluotian ordered a full search for Elder Weisheng."

Wenping speculated, there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance they suspect.

After all, the Rebirth Body’s aura was too distinctive, so much so that even a trace could be detected by someone familiar.

"He hasn’t found the grave yet?"

"No, he hasn’t found it, so after contacting Elder Weisheng, Elder Weisheng told me that he won’t return to the sect without locating the grave."

"Possesses the same stubborn nature as the Sword Demon."

Wenping felt helpless.

Though helpless, he also somewhat sympathized with Weisheng Xingyu.

As a father seeking his daughter’s grave, his emotions must be complex and ever-changing.

Seeing Wenping’s helpless expression, Long Ke quickly spoke, "Sect Leader, Elder Weisheng possesses a Life Technique; he should be fine."

"It’s precisely because he possesses a Life Technique that I’m worried. He’s the only one in the Immortal Sect to have cultivated a Life Technique; if anything happens, my heart will bleed."

After speaking, Wenping couldn’t help but clutch his chest.

It’s difficult enough to have a special talent emerge in the Immortal Sect, quite a rarity indeed.

Although this special talent has particular issues with his Life Technique.

But that’s okay; treat great misfortune as great fortune, and view great fortune as great misfortune.

No harm done!

At this point, Long Ke suddenly asked, "Sect Leader, what if something happens to me?"

"I’ll have your sister arrange a thousand tables. Invite all the King-Sealing Experts to attend, and rest assured, it will be a grand occasion."

Wenping generously patted Long Ke’s shoulder and then patted his chest, signaling her to trust him.

Long Ke’s face instantly fell.

"I shouldn’t have asked."

Then, Long Ke rolled her eyes.

"You know, don’t you? I don’t even know where you got the confidence to ask me such a question." Wenping deliberately sighed, and then slipped away.

After leaving Churao Mountain, Wenping immediately received a Sound Transmission from Sikong Zhuxing.

"Sect Leader Wen, You Country’s Sovereign has indeed decided to negotiate peace with Skyscraper, offering conditions where everything can be negotiated. Today, when he gave this order in the hall, he was extremely angry, preferring to lose this war than to let the Immortal Sect benefit as a fisherman! If peace talks succeed, with the Sovereign’s character, he will undoubtedly return, even at the risk of inviting wolves into his domain."

"A real lunatic." Upon hearing this, Wenping couldn’t help but comment. Thankfully, he could be even crazier than him.

"Who wouldn’t agree? This lunatic, for the sake of his sovereign status, is capable of anything."

"You don’t need to worry about this matter; focus on your own tasks."

"Yes, Sect Leader Wen."

Upon hearing Wenping’s directive, Sikong Zhuxing presumed that the Immortal Sect had long been prepared, so he stopped speaking excessive words and ended the Sound Transmission after offering a few compliments.

Wenping then took out the Sound Transmission Stone to contact Chen Xie, "Confirm Yiluotian’s location later."

"Sect Leader, there’s always a Black Shadow lurking around Yiluotian; as soon as you are ready to act, you can determine the location any time." Chen Xie promptly replied.

Upon hearing Chen Xie’s answer, Wenping couldn’t help but feel pleased.

This is the benefit of founding the Omniscient Tower.

Wenping immediately asked, "Where is he now?"

"Please wait a moment..." Chen Xie hurried to extract the image seen by the Black Shadow lurking around Yiluotian, "He’s at the Extermination of the Nether Realm’s Moonless City, fifteen hundred miles from the battlefield! However, beside Yiluotian, the Black Shadow sensed four Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm Experts. If Yiluotian doesn’t leave Moonless City, it will be tough to frame his death on You Country."

With four Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm Experts plus Yiluotian himself, there are five in total. Furthermore, if a battle breaks out, nearby Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm Experts will quickly arrive, putting the total at seven, perhaps even eight Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm Experts.

Unless the Sect Leader intervenes, it’s unfeasible to kill Yiluotian in this scenario and frame You Country.

Yet, if the Sect Leader intervenes, it becomes even more impossible.

The Sect Leader’s Sword Intent is too distinctive.

A unique presence in Heaven-Gazing Gorge.

"No rush, wait for an opportunity." Wenping understood Chen Xie’s concerns, but he had time to wait now.

Conversely, it is You Country that should be anxious.

Yiluotian will be alone eventually.

Even if there are no solitary moments, other opportunities will arise.

(The timing for the second update will be as usual.

The word count of the first update is somewhat short.

The second update will undoubtedly be longer.)
