System's Super Sect Chapter 1490: Tian Wuxin Forced to Turn Back

Chapter 1490: Chapter 1256: Tian Wuxin Forced to Turn Back

When Sikong Zhuxing’s words echoed in the hall, everyone inside was engulfed in a silence akin to death.

Only the heavy breathing and the Sovereign of You Country’s fierce slamming on the table reverberated through the hall, lingering for a long time.

“How can the Knowledge Tower know everything? Is it possible that there’s a spy inside this royal hall?!”

With the fall of his words.

No one dared to respond.

Angrily, he slammed the table.

Bang—

Bang—

“I just returned from Ancestor Mountain; even my closest loved ones didn’t know that the Ancestor had left the Ancestor Mountain, so how did the Knowledge Tower know?!”

He didn’t know if there were spies in the hall, but he was certain he hadn’t leaked the news, making him even angrier.

He didn’t leak the news, so it wasn’t possible for spies to know. How did the other party learn about the Ancestor leaving the Ancestor Mountain?

The measures to salvage the shattered Life Blood Crystal were also quietly undertaken by Sikong Zhuxing, with no third person aware.

Thinking of this, he slammed the table even harder.

Bang—

In a fit of rage, the Sovereign of You Country pointed at the Inspection Hall members and cursed them, wondering why the Knowledge Tower could monitor You Country while his Inspection Hall could not.

“Inspection Hall, you dare call yourselves an Inspection Hall. Tell me, what have you monitored, despite having eyes across the land? The Knowledge Tower is always a hundred steps ahead of you! A hundred steps!”

Bang—

As expected, the table in front of the Sovereign of You Country couldn’t withstand much more.

“Sovereign, calm down; this servant deserves ten thousand deaths! However, based on the information the Inspection Hall has, what I previously suspected, I now confirm: there must be a Knowledge Tower spy within the Inspection Hall!” Sikong Zhuxing spoke angrily, his gaze harshly scanning everyone in the hall, making even those who were truly innocent feel their spines chill.

Though his gaze carried anger, inside, Sikong Zhuxing was secretly delighted.

The more furious the Sovereign was, the more it showed how painful and helpless this move by the Knowledge Tower made him feel, because anger only comes when there’s nothing you can do.

This was the outcome he’d longed for.

Opportunities were now presenting themselves, precisely for him to eliminate the confidants left by his master, completely making the Inspection Hall his own.

“Investigate—investigate thoroughly! If your Inspection Hall doesn’t have Knowledge Tower spies, how could Knowledge Tower be a hundred steps ahead of you everywhere?” Now that he found an outlet for his frustration, the Slaughter Saber was directly raised.

Sikong Zhuxing deliberately asked, “Do we investigate everyone, no exceptions?”

Sovereign paused, immediately a terrible thought struck him, making him even more furious, “Nonsense! Investigate regardless of who they are supported by, what position they hold, or if they are in the Royal Family. Find one, kill one, start with the upper echelons of your Inspection Hall!”

“This servant accepts the order!” Sikong Zhuxing was instantly delighted, awaiting the Sovereign’s words.

However, just as Sikong Zhuxing rejoiced, a King-Sealing Expert came forward to object.

Because the power Sikong Zhuxing received was indeed too vast, so vast that if he harbored private motives, he could decide who to kill.

But as the King-Sealing Expert voiced his objection, he received an angry glare from the Sovereign, who pointed at him, “Start with investigating him!”

With that, everyone else withdrew in fear.

Seeing this, the Sovereign’s anger subsided somewhat before he said, “Transmit my orders, summon He Youyuan back to the Capital City.”

“Sovereign, without Hall Master He stationed at the Beize Domain, it would be defenseless.” The same King-Sealing Expert seemed to be breaking the pot, coming forward again.

The Sovereign berated, “Stationed at the Beize Domain, shame on you for thinking such! The Covering Sky Tower has already engaged with a Half-Step Primordial Vast; do you just want He Youyuan to die at Beize Domain?”

“No, no!”

The King-Sealing Expert who opposed was instantly startled, simultaneously deterring others who wanted to stand against.

Sikong Zhuxing quickly stated, “Sovereign, rest assured, with my master’s power, he certainly won’t have any issue. Right now, the priority is you! You must stay safe. If something happens to you, the whole You Country will be in grave peril.”

“This matter need not be mentioned further. I will not leave the Capital City. Leaving is possible, but what about You Country’s citizens?” The Sovereign warned Sikong Zhuxing with a promise already set to leave the Capital City.

If the Leader of the Covering Sky Tower knew the Ancestor wasn’t at Ancestor Mountain but at the edge of the Heaven-Gazing Gorge, in the Primordial Yang Domain.

The result would be that the Endless Celestial Suspension would undoubtedly send multiple Half-Step Primordial Vast Realm experts to assault the You Country Capital.

Would the Endless Celestial Suspension forgo the chance to disband the Royal Family of You Country?

Absolutely not!

Because two hundred years ago, when the Ancestor was stationed at Ancestor Mountain, he dared to do this; what’s more, the Ancestor indeed left Ancestor Mountain.

“First cancel the ennoblement ceremony, and later compensate Prince Zhenyou.” The Sovereign’s gaze landed on Sikong Zhuxing, “Sikong Zhuxing, immediately have your Inspection Hall seal off the entire Capital City. Unless with my approval, no one—neither Human nor Demon—is allowed to leave the Capital City by even a step. Anyone attempting to leave the Capital City without permission shall be considered a spy, subject to immediate execution!”

“Yes!”

Sikong Zhuxing instantly accepted the order.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of many members of the You Country Royal Family preparing to flee the Capital City changed dramatically.

…

Longze Domain.

West City.

Beside a bustling street in the city, Tian Wuxin and his two companions each held a copy of Immortal Daily, but only Tian Wuxin’s brows were furrowed.

Celestial Radiance Transformation and Zi Yueluo kept their gaze fixed on Tian Wuxin, visibly unhappy.

Tian Wuxin seemed oblivious to their displeasure and resolutely said, “The Half-Step Primordial Vast battle cannot be concluded in a short time. If the Veil Tower truly acts upon hearing this, they will definitely strike the You Country Capital. I cannot afford not to return!”

“We’re almost at the Primordial Yang Domain, and now you insist on leaving, isn’t that too much?” Zi Yueluo spoke with displeasure.

Celestial Radiance Transformation added gravely, “With us here, You Country stands. If we become stronger, so does You Country. You shouldn’t ignore this reasoning. The Half-Step Primordial Vast battle cannot be concluded quickly; the war between You Country and the Veil Tower won’t be resolved in a year or half. Do you plan to guard the You Country Capital for ten years or more?”

Tian Wuxin ignored them, decisively said, “We’ve waited this long, what’s a little more time? Wait for me here!”

With that said, Tian Wuxin directly broke through the Space Barrier and disappeared into the Curved Realm Passage before the other two.

This change left the surrounding people shocked. Celestial Radiance Transformation and Zi Yueluo couldn’t help but start swearing.

Tian Wuxin’s departure was like seeing a feast when starving, with its tempting aroma tantalizing your heart, only for it to be suddenly taken away! How could anyone feel comfortable?

“What is he guarding that You Country Royal Family for? If they are destroyed, just establish another. With us here, can the Veil Tower really annihilate the You Country Royal Family?” Zi Yueluo indignantly glanced at those who shouldn’t have overheard.

Immediately raising his hand, he unleashed a vast sea of Vein Qi, forcefully pressing the entire West City into the ground.

The whole of West City was not spared!

Witnessing this, Celestial Radiance Transformation saw nothing wrong, instead firmly looking at Zi Yueluo, “Let it be, it’s just the two of us! Since he likes guarding the You Country Royal Family, let him continue doing so.”

“No, two people aren’t enough to stabilize things.” Zi Yueluo rejected Celestial Radiance Transformation’s plan and fell into contemplation.

After a brief moment.

Zi Yueluo spoke, “Let’s find the Demon Lord Tikong; that old guy certainly won’t refuse such a perfect opportunity.”

Demon Lord Tikong.

The only presence in the You Country Demon Race to step into the Half-Step Primordial Vast level, having reached it only ten years after them.

Over three hundred years ago, after losing to Tian Wuxin, he was punished to remain forever in the Underworld of the top ten forbidden zones.

He’s been in the Underworld for three hundred years, surely striving to enter the Primordial Vast Realm.

Now is the perfect time to bring him aboard!

“Okay, Demon Lord Tikong’s power is no weaker than ours. If he joins, Tian Wuxin’s involvement won’t matter.”

With those words, Celestial Radiance Transformation and Zi Yueluo stepped into the Curved Realm Passage, heading to the Underworld of the Chaotic Wind Divine Domain.

After nightfall, the two found the sleeping Demon Lord Tikong at the depth of ten thousand feet within the vast Underworld.

However, when Demon Lord Tikong opened his eyes, several blood-red, full-moon-like eyes showed no goodwill.

Anger.

Only anger.

“You humans shouldn’t bully Demons too much. I haven’t set foot on the surface world for countless years!”

Celestial Radiance Transformation explained, “Tikong, we’re not here to bother you but to negotiate a cooperation. As long as you’re willing, I call the shots to let you leave the Underworld and never conceal yourself in the abyss again.”

“Get lost!”

Demon Lord Tikong roared, unwilling to listen further.

Zi Yueluo sneered, “Tikong, have you become stupid from sleep? Don’t you want a chance to enter the Primordial Vast Realm?”

As those words ended, Tikong’s angry voice gradually softened.

Celestial Radiance Transformation then said, “If you’re willing to cooperate, anything at the Primordial Vast Level’s Cultivation Technique we find, we’ll share with you, plus we’ll allow the Demons to step onto You Country’s surface.”

“Deal!” Demon Lord Tikong didn’t hesitate, responding decisively, “If you back out, even in death, I’ll self-destruct and take you two along. Surely, you know a Half-Step Primordial Vast’s self-destruct can destroy the world!”

“Of course,” the two replied in unison, their faces showing no distress but rather delight.

Since the two never intended to deceive Tikong, whatever Tikong agreed to didn’t matter.

Zi Yueluo eagerly spoke, “Alright, time is of the essence; let’s depart immediately. We can discuss other matters on the way.”

Demon Lord Tikong immediately took on a human form, transforming into a blood-haired youth, and vanished alongside Celestial Radiance Transformation and Zi Yueluo into the Underworld.

(Apologies…

Been too busy these past two days.

I’ll resume tomorrow.)
