System's Super Sect Chapter 1535: The Power of the Curse
Previously on System's Super Sect...
Since Elder Wood Dragon is willing to take action, whether it’s Prince Longyang or Si Haixian, decision-making will naturally no longer be conservative.
Defend?
No.
No longer necessary.
The order to retreat to the junction of Beize Domain and Central Divine Domain was immediately vetoed by the two, and a new order was sent instantly through the Jubilation Tower to Beize Domain and into the hands of various Divine Shadow Army commanders rushing to the battlefield.
The Divine Shadow Army, who continuously received news of front-line defeats and city collapses, along with the temporary army composed of cultivators from various major forces, rejoiced upon receiving this news, and the fear and gloom on their faces accumulated over these days were instantly swept away.
And those various forces that have lived in Beize Domain for generations, unwilling to leave their homeland from the bottom of their hearts, wept with joy upon receiving this order, and many forces even announced that their entire sect would take up arms on the spot.
In a breath, morale soared!
In just two or three days, the advance of Zhetian Tower was forcibly halted, and on the third day, Zhetian Tower couldn’t even advance a hundred miles.
When Si Haixian, along with the King-Sealing Experts of the Divine Shadow Army, arrived at the front line, the morale of Geng Country’s cultivators and the Divine Shadow Army soared to new heights, pouncing on the cultivators of Zhetian Tower like tigers, fearing neither death nor injury!
Under the leadership of Si Haixian and the King-Sealing Experts of the Divine Shadow Army, a breach was torn open in the vast line of Zhetian Tower, and not only was this breach torn open, but it pushed Zhetian Tower back a thousand miles on the third night.
However, Si Haixian stopped while he was ahead, for his goal in this battle was to boost morale, not to drive Zhetian Tower away.
He is well aware now that Zhetian Tower cannot be driven away, nor can they win; they might even return with a vengeance at dawn tomorrow, for although Zhetian Tower’s Ministry Level experts have not made a move, they are all in the rear.
Simultaneously, in the rear camp of Beize Domain, several Ministry Level experts slammed their tables upon hearing the stream of bad news.
“Bring it on!”
“Dare to come again, courting death!”
“Si Haixian, do you really consider yourself someone important? I won’t believe that just because you’ve entered the Upper Realm, you’re that strong!”
The three Ministry Level experts exchanged glances, rose, and stepped out of the camp. Other Ministry Level experts glanced at each other, and some seemed ready to follow their steps to the front line in support.
However, they were stopped by an old woman.
Just as the three left, the old woman, with a sullen face, slowly spoke, “Everyone, don’t move. Chen Jianghe and the others are enough. If the Sovereign of Geng Country joins the fray, then you can go support.”
“Yes, let’s all sit down. Chen Jianghe and the others are more than enough. Our immediate problem is to discuss what each of us has found. As long as the user of that mysterious power is not found, it’s a hidden danger for us. We can’t let those in the Upper Realm hide forever, can we?” Another person spoke up.
After everyone in the tent sat down, the old woman continued, “This old lady hasn’t found much, but I’m certain that there’s an eight or nine chance that person is from the Immortal Sect, otherwise there would be some clues on the Celestial Ranking.”
“The Celestial Ranking was created by them, so that person being absent from the ranking is certainly the Immortal Sect’s doing,” another Ministry Level expert said, his expression very serious, “Everyone, brace yourselves. I have quite a bit of information. Zeng Qi and Yue Long, the two of them were on different battlefields, separated by tens of thousands of miles, but both fell prey. Is that person insane? Traveling thousands of miles just to kill the two of them?”
The old woman frowned, annoyed, “Speak directly if you have something to say, don’t beat around the bush. This old lady dislikes people like you.”
The person wanted to wait but, scolded, could only continue, “That’s because Zeng Qi and Yue Long were both involved. In other words, that person is purposefully killing or taking revenge. And the only person who would do that is that old thing!”
After these words, the tent fell into a long silence.
The few exchanged looks, each with their thoughts, not knowing what others were contemplating.
After a long while, the old woman spoke with a grave expression, “In other words, he has joined the Immortal Sect.”
Once again, everyone fell silent.
Because they suddenly didn’t know what to do.
They were all here for the rewards from the Tower Master, their primary goal was to lure out Weisheng Xingyu, and for this, they could ignore the war. But now it’s found that Weisheng Xingyu likely joined the Immortal Sect, how could they lure out Weisheng Xingyu?
Luring out Weisheng Xingyu, wouldn’t that be luring out the Immortal Sect? They are only in the Upper Realm; if they startled the Immortal Sect, it would be a dead end!
Even though now Tian Wuxin and Senior Nalan Muhong have joined forces, this is still the territory of the Immortal Sect.
The old woman pondered for a long time, then decisively said, “Immediately inform the Tower Master, this reward is no longer something we can freely claim!”
Everyone listened and agreed deeply.
…
Immortal Sect.
Chen Xie hurriedly ran from the teleportation array, heading towards the dormitory area, holding three to four pieces of small items.
There were weapons.
There were clothes.
There were shoes.
And half a broken helmet.
Holding these things, Chen Xie rushed to Weisheng Xingyu’s place and excitedly threw them all in front of Weisheng Xingyu.
“These are weapons that Chen Jianghe used in his youth, always placed in his family sect for descendants to admire. These are clothes Chen Jianghe exchanged for a few days ago…” Chen Xie explained the origin of these four items one by one.
Weisheng Xingyu’s gaze swept across the four things, a smile immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth with a fleeting hint of killing intent in his eyes.
“Brother Chen, the Jubilation Tower!”
As soon as Microstar’s words fell, he gathered the four items and headed swiftly towards the Tower of Omniscience, his pace several times faster than usual.
Chen Xie hurriedly followed.
Upon reaching the top floor of the Tower of Omniscience, Microstar immediately took out the Life Plate and placed the four items in front of it.
Next, the Life Plate inverted, transforming into the Book of Curses, and in an instant, curse power spread throughout the entire room.
“Brother Chen, the reason is here.” As soon as the words fell, a strand of curse power shot like a venomous snake into the four items, “Curse power, there’s no escape, as long as there’s something he’s used, even if he’s millions of miles away, it’s the same.”
“I see.” Chen Xie realized, finally satisfying his curiosity that had built up over several days.
The Book of Curses.
Overbearing!
No wonder it’s an inheritance from the Final Forbidden Area.
For a moment, Chen Xie felt tempted to enter the Final Forbidden Area, but upon reconsideration, he decided against it, given the many matters at hand in the Tower of Omniscience. However, he resolved that once he was done with this period, he would definitely venture into the Final Forbidden Area!
The next moment, under Chen Xie’s manipulation, the three screens on the Black Wall before him suddenly changed, showing scenes above the Sea of Clouds.
Above the Sea of Clouds, three Black Shadows silently swept across the sky from different angles and different regions, closely following three individuals, one of whom was undoubtedly Microstar’s target—Chen Jianghe.
As time ticked by, under Chen Xie’s expectant gaze, one of the individuals abruptly halted.
“Damn it!”
The one who stopped was ranked thirtieth on the Celestial Ranking—Chen Jianghe.
Not only did Chen Jianghe halt, but his face also displayed a hint of panic, and then his Spirit Body immediately began to operate, rapidly covering his entire body with emerald scales, causing his aura to surge abruptly.
“What are you doing?”
“Hmm?”
The individuals on either side also stopped, puzzled, looking at Chen Jianghe, unsure of what madness he was experiencing.
Chen Jianghe exclaimed in panic, “I’ve been targeted by that mysterious force, it suddenly appeared within my body… My Jade Fall Water Body can’t stop it, and it’s incessantly drilling into my body!”
“Really?” one person expressed doubt.
Chen Jianghe shot him a cold glance, not answering, and directly transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the direction of the camp.
Seeing this, the two individuals beside him, disregarding any frontline battle situation, immediately transformed into astonished arcs and followed Chen Jianghe.
A moment later.
Chen Jianghe crashed outside the camp.
Boom—
Everyone was startled, unable to react before hearing Chen Jianghe’s shout.
“Help me quickly, I’ve been targeted by that mysterious force!”
Upon hearing this, the face of the old matron in the tent changed dramatically, as did the Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm cultivators in the camp.
Quickly, Chen Jianghe rushed into the tent, and all the Ministry-level experts from the Shrouded Tower gathered, using perception to probe within Chen Jianghe’s body, and once they sensed it truly was that mysterious force, their expressions changed dramatically.
It’s actually starting to target those in the Upper Realm!
We’re in trouble now!
The old matron shouted, “It really is him! Just didn’t expect, this time, the target is directly Chen Jianghe!”
Upon hearing this, several Ministry-level experts changed their expressions, as they, like Chen Jianghe, were either once betrayers or participants. Now it’s Chen Jianghe; after Chen Jianghe, wouldn’t it be their turn?
The old matron continued, “Go find the tower master! Hurry!”
With that, the old matron immediately dragged Chen Jianghe to fly outside Beize Domain, and seeing this, the other Ministry-level experts hurriedly followed.
Because they had no way of handling this mysterious force at all, as they had tried when Yue Long died before.
Whether vein Qi, spiritual power, or perception, or even celestial materials, were of no use. That mysterious force continuously destroys a person’s body until they are driven to the brink.
However, by the time the old matron brought Chen Jianghe to the edge of Beize Domain, half a day had passed.
Meeting Zhuo Fengchen and Endless Celestial Suspension, Chen Jianghe was already covered in dark purple patterns, looking particularly menacing and terrifying. Under the patterns, Chen Jianghe’s meridians began to contract and shrivel.
Although not to the point of harming him fundamentally, if this trend continued, it would only be a matter of time before he was driven to the end of the road.
“Tower Master, save me! Tower Master, save me!” Chen Jianghe tightly clutched Zhuo Fengchen’s clothing, looking desperately and anxiously at Endless Celestial Suspension.
Zhuo Fengchen unleashed the Five Veins, placing his hand on Chen Jianghe’s chest, and Primordial Vast Power erupted from within his body and entered him, but Zhuo Fengchen’s brows remained furrowed. After a long while, he spoke solemnly, “Tower Master, this power is very bizarre; perception can sense it, but can’t touch it. Even the Primordial Vast Power cannot block its invasion of Chen Jianghe! At this rate, in seven days, Chen Jianghe may not even have the ability to open the Meridian Gate.”
“Let’s join forces and try!” Endless Celestial Suspension said solemnly, then glanced at the crowd, “Everyone scatter and search, since that old bastard has made a move, he must be nearby. Search thoroughly within ten thousand miles! Kill all creatures!”
(Thanks for the generous rewards from Old Brother Regardless… Hehe.)
