System's Super Sect Chapter 1501 - 1265: The Immortal Sect Gains Another Powerful Warrior

Boom—

At the instant Sikong Zhuxing and his group entered the Curved Realm Passage, the Teleportation Array responded, transporting everyone back to the Immortal Sect.

Once again at the Immortal Sect, Prince Longyang looked around, feeling infinite nostalgia.

The last time he came, he could not see anything clearly, only feeling that the Immortal Sect could aid his grand ambition. Looking back now, he felt truly foolish.

At this moment, his emotions were complex.

At this moment, his emotions were also heavy.

He did not know how to position himself.

Should he consider the Immortal Sect as the enemy of the Royal Family?

However, he could find no reason to hate the Immortal Sect. Because the Immortal Sect had never actively provoked the You Country’s Royal Family; instead, it was the Royal Family continuously causing trouble for the Immortal Sect, eventually forcing the Immortal Sect to take the step of killing royalty and sealing kings.

"Your Highness, would you like to sit with me?" At this point, Wen Ping’s voice transmitted into Prince Longyang’s ears.

Prince Longyang agreed, saying, "This battle won’t end any time soon, so let’s sit for a while."

After Prince Longyang agreed, Wen Ping then conveyed to Sikong Zhuxing, "Ensure your people don’t wander off; stay around the Teleportation Array."

"Yes!" Sikong Zhuxing nodded, then instructed his close confidants who had already stepped out of the Teleportation Array, "Stay put. Don’t look around, don’t speak casually! Although this isn’t the Capital City battlefield, it’s not a place where you, Half-Step Primordial Vast experts, can act recklessly. You need to weigh your actions."

After giving the instruction, Sikong Zhuxing’s confidants quickly nodded in agreement, not daring to speak further. However, in their hearts, each had their own thoughts.

Yet all their thoughts were surprisingly consistent.

It turns out the Hall Master is from the Immortal Sect.

To this, they felt a vague sense of fear because they had always thought they were loyal to the Inspection Hall, loyal to the trusted Hall Master Sikong Zhuxing.

What should be done?

If their identities were exposed, even if they hadn’t done anything for the Immortal Sect, the You Country’s Royal Family surely would not spare their lives.

Sikong Zhuxing glanced at his many confidants whose eyes held a hint of fear and unease, guessing their thoughts about seventy to eighty percent, then warned, "Alright, don’t overthink. If this Hall Master wanted you dead, I wouldn’t have brought you here."

Having said that, Sikong Zhuxing said no more.

He was not worried about these people betraying him because the confidants he chose had all undergone thorough examination by both Jinzhilou and the Inspection Hall.

They exhibited two particular traits.

One, they are intelligent.

Never truly loyal, they pledge allegiance to whoever offers them benefits.

Two, previously underappreciated edge figures.

Now, apart from themselves, who else would empower them, give them authority?

So long as the Immortal Sect doesn’t collapse, or he himself doesn’t fall, these individuals wouldn’t risk their own and their relatives’ lives to turn against him.

At this moment, Wen Ping at the Tingyu Pavilion didn’t turn off the system’s projection but merely stowed away his Primordial Vast Power, preparing tea as Prince Longyang arrived.

As for Sikong Zhuxing, Wen Ping had him go to Jinzhilou to be an audience.

Unbeknownst to him, Sikong Zhuxing was left speechless and unsettled for a long time upon seeing the image on the Black Wall at Jinzhilou.

"Your Highness, I heard you have completely abandoned the notion of competing for the position of You Country’s Sovereign?" Wen Ping personally poured tea for Prince Longyang, not alienating him due to the conflict with the Royal Family of You Country.

Prince Longyang smiled wryly and said, "No longer competing, there’s no point. Spending over a hundred years on this, with constant scheming, upon reflection, cultivation is the only true path worth pursuing. The position of Sovereign, the power, it’s all meaningless."

Wen Ping was somewhat surprised by this answer. Though he wasn’t sure of the truth in these words, he could sense his helpless emotions.

In the past, Prince Longyang treated him well. Frankly, if Prince Longyang still intended to compete for the Sovereign’s position, he could even have Si Haixian and Sikong Zhuxing assist him.

But now, Prince Longyang didn’t wish to contend for the Sovereign position, leaving Wen Ping unsure of what to say.

"Does Your Highness truly not wish to compete anymore? Inspection Hall, Jinzhilou, I can have them fully support you," Wen Ping further probed.

"I must say, it’s very tempting. The Inspection Hall now wields power in You Country second only to one under the heavens. He Youyuan’s confidants have been removed one by one by Sikong Zhuxing, who transferred them away from the core of the Inspection Hall, with the entire Inspection Hall now following Sikong Zhuxing’s lead. Apart from the Sovereign and Ancestors, no one in the Royal Family dares to confront him. Even with just the Inspection Hall’s support, I could ensure victory easily. Added to that, the omniscient and consistently tactful Jinzhilou. Who else but I could be the next Sovereign?"

"Then why not compete?"

"I’ve lost interest in the You Country’s Sovereign position. I’m now more interested in Half-Step Primordial Vast and higher realms."

"Hahaha." Wen Ping chuckled, unable to contain his laughter.

Prince Longyang too smiled wryly, saying no more.

After laughing for a while, Wen Ping explained immediately, "Don’t misunderstand; I don’t think Your Highness’s idea is bad."

"I understand."

"Are you interested in joining the Immortal Sect?"

"Huh?"

Prince Longyang was taken aback by the sudden question.

It wasn’t difficult to answer.

But rather shocking.

Wen Ping replied with a smile, "We aren’t enemies; we weren’t before, and we won’t be now."

With that, Wen Ping didn’t continue speaking.

Words would be fruitless.

If Prince Longyang wished to join, he could join; if not, Wen Ping would not mention it again.

"Can I?" Prince Longyang doubted.

Wen Ping replied, "You can, and you don’t need to sever ties with the Royal Family of You Country, but you do need to separate from certain individuals in the Royal Family."

"Understood!"

The Dragon King nodded quickly.

Just at this moment, the scene in front of Wen Ping suddenly changed.

The You Country’s Sovereign Ji had already been severely injured and was recklessly heading toward the city, attempting to use the lives of ordinary people to delay time.

Upon witnessing this, Wen Ping couldn’t help but silently lament, "Even if he doesn’t die, he must die."

Some people are alive.

But they are dead.

Wen Ping immediately took out the Sound Transmission Stone to contact Chen Xie, "Did you see that."

Chen Xie replied with a sly smile, "Sect Leader, your meaning is understood. Even if the You Country’s Sovereign manages to survive this time, he will certainly be ruined. To save his own life, he is willing to draw Half-Step Primordial Vast experts into the city, trading the lives of thousands of You Country’s citizens for time to catch his breath. Such a person still deserves the position of Sovereign?"

"Stop, your target is incorrect. What I want is for the people of You Country to lose faith in the Royal Family, not only the You Country’s Sovereign alone."

Ji definitely cannot survive.

Not for any other reason, but solely for what Ji has done to the Immortal Sect, he cannot remain alive.

No matter the reputation of a dead person, it doesn’t matter.

What matters is the reputation of the You Country’s Royal Family.

Chen Xie paused briefly, then suddenly realized, "Sect Leader, I truly understand now. We not only need to kill, but also destroy the heart! The Heaven-Slaying Radiance Transformation and Zi Yueluo’s actions will strip You Country of its prestige; furthermore, we will expose the actions of the You Country’s Sovereign and Royal Family during critical moments to make the Royal Family lose the people’s hearts worldwide!"

"It seems you truly understand." Wen Ping said no more but instead looked at the sky almost lit up, then cut off the connection with the Sound Transmission Stone.

"The day is breaking," After murmuring briefly, Wen Ping intended to pour more tea for Prince Longyang but found Prince Longyang frozen in place, with his right hand grasping a cup suspended in mid-air.
