System's Super Sect Chapter 876 - 832: The Sword Demon Strikes, Slaughtering Earth Unrestricted Experts
Previously on System's Super Sect...
Chen Xie watched the massive formation retreating into the distance with a wry smile, "The Nanhua Sect's Vice Sect Leader is truly a genius; how does he manage to be so exceptionally good at guessing?"
"Sect Leader, they only have about thirty individuals, and not a single one of them is an Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm expert. Isn't marching toward the Immortal Sect practically suicidal?"
Chen Xie’s loyal subordinate stood nearby and let out a chuckle.
Of course, their amusement didn't just stem from the sheer stupidity of these five-star influences.
Toying with these five-star factions, specifically those lacking any real intelligence networks, was a truly gratifying experience.
It felt even more rewarding than his previous duration serving as an elder within a five-star power.
Chen Xie turned toward his aide, remarking, "Stop standing around cluelessly; prepare for our departure from Ye City. Our Sect is expanding at an incredible pace—considering our Sect Leader even eliminated the Vice Sect Leader of the Red Leaf Sect—Jinzhi Building must accelerate our own expansion to keep up."
With those instructions, Chen Xie abandoned the high terrace and exited Ye City without delay.
As for the spectacle of thirty-plus five-star influences marching on the Immortal Sect to meet their doom, Chen Xie had absolutely no interest in witnessing it.
In the past, perhaps he would have wanted to observe such a clash.
However, following the Sect Leader to the Heaven-Gazing Gorge had fundamentally shifted his perspective.
His ambitions were now focused entirely on bringing the whole Red Domain under their control!
Following Chen Xie's departure, a crowd from Ye City also began moving toward Star Sword Mountain, eager to watch the fall of the Immortal Sect.
As loose cultivators or members of minor factions, they possessed an insatiable appetite for seeing a five-star power collapse.
It mattered little if it was the Immortal Sect
or another entity entirely.
...
Inside the Immortal Sect.
Yun Liao was making preparations to head to the Sea Thought Pavilion for his Cultivation when a message arrived via transmission from Chen Xie.
"It is a shame, they lack numbers; those Middle Realm experts all scattered during the night as soon as they heard the rumors I planted."
Yun Liao quickly replied, "How many remain?"
"Just over thirty Earth Unrestricted Lower Realm experts."
"Confirmed."
After sending the reply, Yun Liao stashed the Sound Transmission Stone away and, after a brief moment of thought, hurried toward the peaks situated behind Yunlan Mountain.
...
High above Star Sword Mountain.
A swarm of winged race demons transported a large gathered crowd here, though none dared stray too close or descend too far.
They functioned purely as onlookers.
Approaching too closely or hovering too low risked pulling them into the crossfire.
After all, seventy-two five-star influences had supposedly arrived, backed by at least seventy-two Earth Unrestricted experts.
"They are finally here!"
A voice shouted out abruptly.
Those perched upon the demonic beasts gazed fixedly at the incoming five-star coalition, their faces illuminated with excitement.
The confrontation was about to commence!
Today marked the end of the Immortal Sect!
Seventy-two five-star influences joining forces was a scene unseen in a century.
The last occasion this occurred was when the Red Leaf Sect eradicated the Lingxiao Sword Sect.
Countless years had vanished, and these factions had spent that time locked in internal strife. When had they ever unified against a singular threat before?
"The Immortal Sect is destined to replicate the fate of the Lingxiao Sword Sect."
"Truly a pity."
Some were visibly thrilled, others sighed, while many were clearly regretful. Yet, just as these spectators stirred with conflicting emotions, they cast glances at the silent Star Sword Mountain and noticed the Earth Unrestricted experts among them looking back in total confusion.
There was absolutely no one!
Not a single soul was defending Star Sword Mountain.
Where were the members of the Kong family?
"What is happening?" Cao Tianjue, who had deliberately hung back in the formation, observed the empty landscape, overcome by doubt.
Luo Shen wore a grim look as he ordered, "Remain alert, we proceed to investigate."
Luo Shen sensed something was very wrong, even if he couldn't grasp the nature of the trap.
Scanning the horizon, there were truly no remnants of any struggle.
If the Kong family had taken action, Star Sword Mountain should have been reduced to ashes.
Suddenly, the entire group came to a halt.
More than thirty Earth Unrestricted experts hung suspended in the void, trailed by a massive flock of winged race demons carrying numerous Mountain Suppression Realm experts.
This impressive force abruptly ground to a stop, everyone peering around the outskirts of Star Sword Mountain.
"Where are the Kong family elites?"
"Did they fail to arrive?"
Everyone stood in total bewilderment.
They were entirely out of their depth regarding current events.
Even those who had been quick to lead the charge, such as the Vice Sect Leader of Nanhua Sect, found the atmosphere deeply unsettled.
A subtle, creeping sense of dread began to manifest.
After all, the looming memory of the Immortal Sect still haunted their psyche.
The distant observers, expecting battle upon the halted advance of the punitive forces, were shocked when their own Mountain Suppression Realm experts confirmed that not one Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm expert was present.
After checking multiple times, their confusion only grew.
Whatever happened to the seventy-two five-star influences promised for this siege?
Why did barely half the force appear? Why was there such a complete lack of Middle Realm power?
At that precise moment, a cloud hawk emerged from within the Immortal Sect at Star Sword Mountain, drawing every eye. It hovered in the air, fixated on the assembled five-star coalition.
Its aura was limited to the Divine Profound Realm, yet given its origin, no one dared to show it even a hint of disrespect.
The figure was none other than Qin Shan!
An elder of the Immortal Sect!
"Is this the full extent of this 'great' army?"
Qin Shan spoke while lazily circling above the Immortal Sect, darting back and forth as if mocking them with his leisure.
It was as if he had his own legion of Earth Unrestricted experts backing him up.
Yet, clearly, thirty-plus Earth Unrestricted experts stood opposite him, glaring with murderous intent, ready to obliterate him with a single gesture.
