System's Super Sect Chapter 1485: In Just One Day, You Country Lost Another Three Thousand Miles of Territory!

Chapter 1485: Chapter 1251: In Just One Day, You Country Lost Another Three Thousand Miles of Territory!

Si Haixian did not delight in the praise, and spoke with neither humility nor arrogance: “Sovereign, you flatter me. Everything is for You Country!”

Si Haixian knew very well why the Sovereign would use him—what he valued was precisely Si Haixian’s neither-humble-nor-overbearing attitude toward the Royal Family’s Sealing King.

So he knew he had to cut down on the sycophantic lines; best would be to only answer whatever the Sovereign of You Country asked.

After all, right now “Prince Zhenyou” was just something said verbally. Until the enfeoffment ceremony was actually held, he was not Prince Zhenyou!

“‘Everything is for You Country’, is it! Well said!” Hearing Si Haixian’s words, Ji was overjoyed, because at this stage he needed exactly this kind of person. “Seven days from now, I will hold the grand enfeoffment ceremony for Prince Zhenyou, and proclaim it to all of Heaven-Gazing Gorge!”

“Many thanks for Your Majesty’s favor. I, Si Haixian, will surely devote myself wholly to You Country!” Si Haixian had not expected the Sovereign of You Country to be this decisive.

He had thought the other side would spend some time testing him, since the position of Prince Zhenyou, if given to the wrong person, would be a huge problem.

Off to the side, Sikong Zhuxing was also a bit surprised, though delight outweighed surprise. “Congratulations, Sovereign, on gaining another capable pillar.”

“The sudden emergence of Prince Zhenyou is not only a joy for the Royal Family, but also a joy for the entire You Country. Middle Realm slaying Upper Realm—such a battle record, even your master has never achieved.” The joy on Ji’s face could not be concealed at all.

So much for joy and fury not showing on one’s face—at this moment Ji couldn’t be bothered.

Hearing this, Sikong Zhuxing could only force out a dry laugh and did not pick up the line.

Now he understood.

No wonder the Sovereign had so decisively set the enfeoffment ceremony for seven days later—turns out that in this You Country Sovereign’s heart, Si Haixian was destined to become another He Youyuan.

Thinking of this possibility, Sikong Zhuxing couldn’t help but rejoice.

The heavier Si Haixian weighed in the Sovereign of You Country’s heart, the better!

“Sovereign, you flatter me. Senior He Youyuan was able to press down the entire Heaven-Gazing Gorge so that all Celestial Unrestricted Upper Realm experts could not lift their heads. That kind of record is far more legendary than my mere Middle Realm slaying Upper Realm.” Si Haixian remained modest, not adding a single unnecessary word.

But in his heart, surpassing He Youyuan was a given. Backed by the Immortal Sect, nothing was impossible.

In the time that followed, the two sides once again exchanged rounds of mutual praise. Ji put on his greatest show of cherishing talent and intending heavy use. Si Haixian would answer only the question asked, neither humble nor arrogant, occasionally expressing his loyalty.

After all, if he stayed neither humble nor arrogant the whole time, that would be overdoing it.

Before long, Si Haixian truly did not wish to go on with this meaningless chatter, and directly proposed to go back once to the Primordial Yang Domain.

The reason was to fetch his parents!

“This…” The Primordial Yang Domain was currently under the Immortal Sect’s control; Ji worried that if the Immortal Sect learned Si Haixian had gone back, they might make a move.

Seeing this, Si Haixian hurriedly cut in: “Sovereign, no need to worry. Judging from the strength the Immortal Sect has shown so far, if they wanted to remove Prince Zhenyou, they would likely have acted long ago. There’s simply no need to wait for Prince Zhenyou to return to the Primordial Yang Domain.”

“True.” Ji pondered for a moment; thinking it through carefully, Sikong Zhuxing’s earlier words were not without reason. “Then go and return quickly!”

“Many thanks, Sovereign!”

Si Haixian bowed in salute and immediately withdrew from the grand hall.

Ji did not try to stop him. Once Si Haixian had completely left the hall, he immediately turned to Sikong Zhuxing below and pressed him: “How is your master?”

“Sovereign, set your mind at ease. Master asked this subordinate to relay to you: the Sky-Covering Tower has already agreed to peace talks and has ordered the offensive halted. It’s just that the price is a bit steep—Master has already promised to cede the Chaotic Wind Divine Domain and the Beize Domain. This subordinate fears that when the actual day of talks arrives, the people of Sky-Covering Tower will surely open the lion’s mouth and demand more!”

Ji seemed not to have heard the latter part at all, still exclaiming in joy: “Double happiness! As long as the Sky-Covering Tower stops their offensive, I need no longer worry they’ll seize the chance to raid the Central Divine Domain. Once we take down the Immortal Sect, nothing will be a problem anymore.”

Sikong Zhuxing was shocked.

He suddenly had a bad premonition.

Surely the ancestor Tian Wuxin isn’t going to make a move?

Ancestor Tian Wuxin!

Founding ancestor of You Country!

He had stepped into Half-Step Primordial Vast close to five hundred years ago. His current power ranking second on the Celestial Ranking was definitely not something petty figures like Jiang Heshan could compare to.

And his master had once said:

When a limit-level Half-Step Primordial Vast powerhouse like Celestial Unrestricted makes a move, it is an enormous calamity for the entire Heaven-Gazing Gorge.

How powerful must a person be, for his strength to sway the whole Heaven-Gazing Gorge?

Noticing the shock on Sikong Zhuxing’s face, Ji frankly said: “The things the Immortal Sect has brought out are far, far too many, all of them beyond this era. So eight or nine times out of ten, they must have grasped a complete Primordial Vast Realm inheritance. Once the Sky-Covering Tower’s offensive fully stops and there are no worries behind us, all the Royal Family ancestors will act!”

“With all the Royal Family ancestors acting, the Immortal Sect will certainly be wiped out with a flip of the hand!” Sikong Zhuxing exclaimed in praise, but inside he was starting to feel restless.

Ji went on: “I’m going to make a trip to Ancestor Mountain. You are responsible for keeping an eye on everyone. Priority is that Prince Longyang—understood?”

“This subordinate understands!” Though he didn’t know why the Sovereign of You Country wanted him to watch Prince Longyang, who was already powerless to turn the tide, Sikong Zhuxing did not ask more.

Right now he only wanted to leave the Royal Palace.

To bring this news to the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect.

Ji spoke slowly; what was different was that his heart, set on going to Ancestor Mountain, could no longer be restrained. “Enough, you may withdraw as well.”

“This subordinate takes his leave!”

Sikong Zhuxing immediately departed, quickly leaving the Royal Palace.

After Sikong Zhuxing left, Ji directly concealed his presence, altered his appearance, and sped toward Ancestor Mountain.

…

The Immortal Sect.

Wen Ping continued sweeping away the Wood Qi outside, when he suddenly received a sound transmission from Sikong Zhuxing.

“Sect Leader Wen, this is bad. The Sky-Covering Tower and You Country will soon halt the war and enter peace talks. But You Country doesn’t truly intend to make peace; they want to steady the Sky-Covering Tower, then launch retaliation against the Immortal Sect. The Sovereign of You Country personally told me that all Royal Family ancestors will act. Including that Tian Wuxin, ranked second on the Celestial Ranking, who stepped into Half-Step Primordial Vast nearly five hundred years ago.”

Once he finished speaking.

There was no movement at all from the other end of the Sound Transmission Stone.

Sikong Zhuxing felt a jolt inside, worrying that the Sect Leader Wen might have been frightened?

But before long, a questioning voice suddenly came from the Sound Transmission Stone.

“And then? That’s it?”

Sikong Zhuxing was dumbfounded. “Sect Leader Wen, all the Royal Family ancestors are going to act. The Sovereign of You Country has already left the Capital City and gone to Ancestor Mountain!”

“He can go wherever he likes. What’s it to me? In future, tell Chen Xie about this kind of thing first. Don’t disturb my cultivation again.” Wen Ping immediately cut off contact through the Sound Transmission Stone, then continued circulating the Changmo Technique to sweep away the Wood Qi, planning to wait until Weisheng Xingyu returned to the sect before going back.

But before Weisheng Xingyu returned to the sect, Si Haixian came back to the sect to cultivate, and then came news that Huaikong and the Demon Emperor of the Sky-Split Race had entered a life-and-death duel.

On the other side, Sikong Zhuxing was utterly baffled.

He couldn’t understand why Sect Leader Wen was still so calm and composed, so he contacted Chen Xie again and relayed all of this to him.

Who would have thought, Chen Xie was also very busy and seemed indifferent to the matter, merely saying, “Stabilize the Sky-Covering Tower to plot against my Immortal Sect? He’s dreaming.”

Sikong Zhuxing was even more at a loss.

It was only when, two days later, he received urgent battle reports from the Beize Domain that he finally understood everything.

The Sky-Covering Tower had not stopped!

On the contrary, their offensive had grown even fiercer.

More than fifteen Ministry Level powerhouses, along with three to four hundred million members of the Sky-Covering Tower, simultaneously launched ferocious assaults on the five war zones of the Beize Domain.

The Divine Shadow Army on the five battlefields, along with the coalition forces sent by the various domains, could only retreat. In a single day, the Beize Domain lost nearly three thousand miles of territory!

(Awkward…

Slacked off these two days.

My bad, my bad…)
