System's Super Sect Chapter 1517 - 1277: Three-Man Squad, You Country Power Play in Progress...

As the words fell, everyone was taken aback.

Domain Master Si!

Good heavens.

The Southern Guardian King directly denied Si Haixian’s title conferment.

The Western Guardian King beside him chimed in, "Without the conferment ceremony, you are not yet the Zhen You King. Discuss this with us after the ceremony is held. You’re young; don’t think defeating an Upper Realm while being in the Middle Realm is remarkable."

As the words fell, many, centered around the Western Guardian King and the Southern Guardian King, began to echo the sentiment, including the royal family, though they dared not be too direct.

Although Si Haixian indeed did not hold the conferment ceremony, being an Upper Realm expert, having the ceremony is just a matter of time.

"Your Highness, Zhen You King, why rush for the moment?"

"Your Highness, Zhen You King, let’s wait for Prince Longyang’s arrival before discussing these matters. Now is not the time to talk about it."

Seven or eight people spoke up, pressing all sorts of words onto Si Haixian’s head, making it seem that if he said another word, it would be an overstep.

Little did they know, Si Haixian was waiting for these words.

The next moment, an angry voice boomed from outside.

"The Zhen You King was conferred by the Sovereign of You Country, and it has long been proclaimed to the world. The royal family of You Country may have lost the battle, but they are not annihilated!"

As the words fell, Prince Longyang descended grandly from the sky, no longer accompanied by the usual rabble.

These were people from the Inspection Hall.

Beside Prince Longyang was none other than the Hall Master of the Inspection Hall—Sikong Zhuxing!

Upon seeing this, everyone was greatly astonished and quickly stood up to bow in welcome.

"Welcome, Your Highness, Prince Longyang!"

"Welcome, Your Highness, Prince Longyang!"

"Welcome, Your Highness, Prince Longyang!"

The three King-Sealing experts exchanged glances and had no choice but to kneel in welcome, though their faces showed no respect.

Because they had never supported Prince Longyang.

They had sent people countless times to sabotage Prince Longyang’s plans and kill his trusted aides.

After Prince Longyang slowly entered the hall, Sikong Zhuxing, standing aside, coldly opened his mouth, pointing at the person from the Lower Realm, Tian Wuxin, who just spoke, and scolded: "Even though my mentor has fallen, I Sikong Zhuxing am still here, the Inspection Hall is still here! To even dare question the conferment by the Sovereign of You Country, you must be tired of living."

Those who were scolded dared not retort at all, burying their heads deeply.

Yet everyone present knew to whom these words were truly addressed, but even knowing, no one dared speak back.

Among those present were numerous Domain Masters, Great Domain Masters, branches of the royal family, all left with only bewilderment in their hearts.

Including the Southern Guardian King and the Western Guardian King, who knew the rebuke was directed at them.

The Inspection Hall stood firmly in Prince Longyang’s camp, leaving no room for doubt, as they remained loyal to the Sovereign of You Country.

Now, with only Prince Longyang left among the royal family’s King-Sealing figures, who else would the Inspection Hall be loyal to but Prince Longyang?

But why were the Inspection Hall and Prince Longyang both speaking for Si Haixian?

Si Haixian was, after all, a former man of Thorn, the previous Sovereign of You Country.

Everyone knew the deep-seated rift between Thorn and Prince Longyang. They even thought if Prince Longyang were to ascend the throne, the first person he’d deal with would be Si Haixian. As a Sovereign, how could the position of Zhen You King be given to an outsider!

"Everyone, please rise and be seated. There are three matters I wanted to discuss with everyone today. Originally, I intended to go through them slowly. But since you’ve already brought it up, let me address it first." Prince Longyang’s gaze settled on the Southern Guardian King and the Western Guardian King, causing their hearts to sink, "Today is unlike any other. Starting today, the military authority of the Divine Shadow Army of the Seven Great Domains will be under my command, led by the Zhen You King, while new important tasks will be assigned to the Southern Guardian King and the Western Guardian King."

As the words fell, the Southern Guardian King, Western Guardian King, and everyone else displayed expressions of shock, especially the Southern Guardian King, whose expression shifted, eyes flashing with displeasure.

Their military authority had been stripped!

The change in expression among others was not only because of the stripped power of the Southern Guardian King and the Western Guardian King, but also due to Prince Longyang’s command.

A bold idea spontaneously arose in everyone’s mind.

Could it be that Si Haixian was Prince Longyang’s ally from the start?

Suddenly.

The Southern Guardian King spoke again, his tone full of animosity, "Your Highness, with You Country in such peril, facing both internal and external troubles, we might as well invite the Ancestor to take charge. The strength of the Immortal Sect and the looming threat of the Heaven-Covering Tower are daunting. Just relying on the Western Guardian King and myself, we fear we can do nothing!"

The Western Guardian King quickly chimed in, "Indeed, if we do not invite the Ancestor to preside over us now, and should the Heaven-Covering Tower make a comeback or the Immortal Sect seize the opportunity to invade, with only a few of us, the day of You Country’s downfall may be upon us."

Prince Longyang’s face darkened.

They were using the Ancestor to pressure him.

For once the Ancestor arrives, the decision-making power would no longer be in his hands.

It’s likely the position of Zhen You King wouldn’t fall to Si Haixian, after all, he had only just entered the Upper Realm, and his power was vastly inferior to the Southern Guardian King.

If they can’t secure military control, how can they talk about controlling You Country?

The Sect Leader is urging from there.

According to Elder Chen Xie, the Sect Leader rarely urges them on a daily basis, but repeatedly emphasized this time, there must be a reason.

Though newly joined in the Immortal Sect, unable yet to aid the Sect Leader much, at least not drag him down.
