System's Super Sect Chapter 1541: Damn Jin Zhi Lou!

“Well done!” the Dragon Sun Emperor exclaimed excitedly, because with Chen Jianghe’s death, the Upper Realm members of the Heaven-covering Tower would dare not rashly enter the battle.

After all, they were facing an enemy hidden in the shadows, one they couldn’t see, but who could take their lives.

Moreover, each loss of an Upper Realm for the Heaven-covering Tower increased Geng Country’s chances of victory.

Because Geng Country had too few Upper Realm warriors at the moment.

Including those few Upper Realm Demon Ancestors who could join the battle, there were barely more than a handful, far too few compared to the Heaven-covering Tower.

The Dragon Sun Emperor excitedly added, “Elder Chen, which elder from the Sect made a move? I must thank him properly!”

“Someone you know.”

“I know?”

The Dragon Sun Emperor was somewhat puzzled.

Chen Xie didn’t continue the topic and instead changed the subject, “You’ll know when you have time to return to the Sect. For now, it doesn’t matter who it was. I just received news that due to Chen Jianghe’s death, the Upper Realm members of the Heaven-covering Tower have started to gather forces. Just at the moment of his death, to prevent the situation from worsening, the Endless Celestial Suspension doesn’t dare let the Upper Realm act alone anymore and has issued a new order: Tomorrow morning, all the Upper Realm will launch a general attack!”

“This…” The Dragon Sun Emperor was stunned.

Sikong Zhuxing, standing beside him, also changed his expression.

What does the Endless Celestial Suspension plan to do?

Are they crazy?

But thinking about it carefully, this move indeed perfectly resolves the bad situation Chen Jianghe’s death might have caused.

With this move, the improving situation would be reversed again.

The Upper Realm that the Heaven-covering Tower could deploy, including the Upper Realm Demon Ancestors, definitely numbered more than twenty, and more wouldn’t be less.

Such a large number of Upper Realm launching a simultaneous attack would be destructive; the current Geng Country army surely couldn’t withstand it.

“Let’s retreat and consolidate the battle lines first to prepare for tomorrow’s battle,” Chen Xie said in a deep voice, offering the only feasible plan for the moment.

After all, the Sect Leader didn’t allow Jinzhi Tower to fully aid Geng Country, and Celestial Eye Senior, Sword Demon Elder, were still within the Heaven-covering Tower’s area.

“I’ll send a Sound Transmission to Elder Si immediately.” The Dragon Sun Emperor quickly responded.

Chen Xie continued, “Also, we must have Elder Wood Dragon stationed for tomorrow’s battle, otherwise it’ll be hard to withstand the Heaven-covering Tower’s offensive.”

“But wouldn’t this start a Half-Step Primordial Vast battle?” Tian Wuxin has already defected to the Heaven-covering Tower. If a Half-Step Primordial Vast battle starts, the consequences might be unimaginable.

Chen Xie explained, “I can only tell you this, your action to invite Elder Wood Dragon is endorsed by the Sect Leader.”

“Understood, I’ll head back to the Sect right away!” said the Dragon Sun Emperor, having lost any thought of staying on the battlefield.

After cutting off the Sound Transmission, the Dragon Sun Emperor swiftly left the battlefield with Sikong Zhuxing, hastily finding a secluded spot to return to the Sect. After quickly locating Wood Dragon and getting his nod, they were relieved to leave the Immortal Sect.

A quarter-hour later, the advance of Geng Country in the Beize Domain battlefield began to slow. Upon receiving the Dragon Sun Emperor’s Sound Transmission, Si Haixian immediately ordered everyone to rest in place. When the Heaven-covering Tower saw that Geng Country wasn’t chasing further, they heaved a sigh of relief and retreated a hundred miles before stopping.

“Change the rear to the front, retreat in an orderly manner, maintain formation, and be ready for a counter-offensive at any time.” Receiving this news, Si Haixian was overjoyed and quickly issued the retreat order.

Clearly,

The attack order from the Heaven-covering Tower hadn’t been issued yet, or maybe it had been issued but hadn’t reached the frontline forces yet.

This made it the best time to retreat.

Because in this situation, the forces of the Heaven-covering Tower that were pushed back wouldn’t dare to pursue rashly. Additionally, with Si Haixian’s readiness to counter-attack, they would fear it might be a trap set by Si Haixian.

Just half an hour after Si Haixian’s retreat, the news of Si Haixian’s retreat reached the Endless Celestial Suspension outside the Beize Domain.

At present, the Endless Celestial Suspension was in the sky outside the Beize Domain, inside the camp on the back of the Giant Demon.

Over sixteen Upper Realm were already gathered in the tent after receiving the news, Endless Celestial Suspension slapped the table and stood up, then swept over each person with a gaze as sharp as a knife, making all sixteen sit uneasily, overwhelmed with panic.

“Tower Master, what’s going on?” Zhuo Fengchen, who was looking at a terrain map, hurried over when he saw the situation, glancing at the information in Endless Celestial Suspension’s hand.

This glance startled him.

“What’s going on?”

Endless Celestial Suspension angrily said, “I also want to know what’s going on! Aside from you and me, only they knew about the gathering order!”

“Tower Master, are you saying there’s a traitor?”

“What else could it be, is there a secret inspector from the Inspection Hall in the thousand-foot-high sky ten thousand miles away? We’ve just gathered not half an hour, and Si Haixian already withdrew with his men. What else could this be but a traitor?”

Endless Celestial Suspension’s knife-like eyes once again swept over everyone present, causing the faces of these sixteen Upper Realm to drastically change.

“Tower Master, I have followed you for a hundred years. My loyalty is as clear as the sun and moon. Whenever you tell me to go east, I would never go west!”

“Tower Master, my three sons were killed on the battlefield by You Country’s people. I wish to skin them alive; I can never be a traitor!”

“Tower Master!”

“Tower Master!”

The sixteen hastily explained, fearing to be suspected by Endless Celestial Suspension.

Endless Celestial Suspension’s face gradually cooled, his gaze scrutinizing everyone until Zhuo Fengchen intervened to mediate the situation.

“Tower Master, it might not be any of them.”

Endless Celestial Suspension nodded, but his brows remained furrowed, “I never thought the Inspection Hall’s ‘anomalies’ would run this deep. No, it can’t be the Inspection Hall. I know their capabilities very well; it has to be that Jinzhi Tower!”

Zhuo Fengchen suddenly realized and angrily cursed, “That damn Jinzhi Tower, stretching its hand into the Black Domain wasn’t enough; they dared extend it to this battlefield too.”

With those words, Zhuo Fengchen then asked, “Tower Master, what should we do? Should we continue? They have certainly learned we plan to attack tomorrow morning now that they’ve retreated. Geng Country isn’t as strong as us, so they’ll definitely seek out the Immortal Sect.”

If they proceed, this sudden attack could very well escalate into a Half-Step Primordial Vast battle, losing its original significance.

When Zhuo Fengchen finished speaking, the tent fell into complete silence. The sixteen Upper Realm exchanged glances, wanting to speak but ultimately deciding to remain silent.

Endless Celestial Suspension also fell into contemplation, as his goal of gathering all the Upper Realm for a collective attack was to catch Geng Country off guard and quickly capture the Beize Domain.

As long as he could break through the Beize Domain and occupy it, everything would be manageable. He could then exhaust resources for hundreds of years!

But now, with Jinzhi Tower aware of the plan, the Immortal Sect would most likely intervene.

After a pause, Endless Celestial Suspension’s gaze became resolute.

“Continue!”

“Continue the attack tomorrow morning.”

“But we need to notify Nalan Senior and Tian Wuxin first, asking them to station themselves and force the Immortal Sect’s Half-Step Primordial Vast not to interfere.”

“As long as the Immortal Sect’s Half-Step Primordial Vast doesn’t interfere, with our twenty-six Upper Realms, we should be able to handle the Immortal Sect’s Upper Realms, shouldn’t we?”

With those words, Endless Celestial Suspension looked around at the sixteen people. Though he suspected a traitor among them, he had no doubt about their capabilities.

…

Immortal Sect.

“Sect Leader, the Endless Celestial Suspension has gathered all the Upper Realm, planning to launch a general attack on Geng Country early tomorrow. Moreover, they want to bring in Nalan Muhong and Tian Wuxin to station themselves, attempting to force us not to deploy Half-Step Primordial Vast into their war with Geng Country.”

After listening to Chen Xie’s words, Wen Ping snorted with disdain and said, “They at Jinzhi Tower really think highly of themselves.”

If it weren’t for the fact that building the Heaven-covering Tower’s reputation wasn’t yet accumulated, and that Tian Wuxin might potentially act out of desperation, they would have been dead eight hundred times over.

Even if they survived, they would only be fit to hide far away.

Chen Xie quickly asked, “Sect Leader, then what shall we do?”

After glancing at the nearly completed Celestial Control Array, Wen Ping shook his head, “Don’t bother with Nalan Muhong or Tian Wuxin. After tomorrow, they will never step into Geng Country’s territory again. Oh, and tell Prince Longyang that he should handle Geng Country’s matters on his own. He can do whatever he wants, and seek help from the Sect only if faced with unsolvable troubles.”

“Never step into Geng Country’s territory again after tomorrow?” Chen Xie focused on those words and was about to ask more when the Sound Transmission Stone fell silent.

Putting away the Sound Transmission Stone, Chen Xie glanced at Long Ke beside him, seeing his brows furrowed as well, and withdrew his gaze to ponder to himself.
