System's Super Sect Chapter 888 836: Immortal Daily, Fresh Off the Press!

Ultimately, Qin Shan possessed only the Divine Profound Realm cultivation. Within Heaven-Gazing Gorge, such a realm held no weight. Were he in that spot, he too would cast aside Qin Shan's life instantly without a shred of doubt.

"Shen Jue, do you truly intend to go through with this?" Qin Shan extended a hand to hold back the Immortal Sect elders following closely, then fired back.

"Speed it up some more. My sword needs barely a breath to cleave your head clean off. Don't worry—as soon as you shield my getaway a thousand miles beyond the Immortal Sect, I'll set you free. Truth is, your life holds zero value to me."

In that instant, Shen Jue's gaze swept toward the Immortal Sect's Main Hall, a view that thrilled him and made him pick up his pace a notch.

Flight remained banned inside the Immortal Sect, yet beyond its borders, he could soar off straightaway, hauling Qin Shan along.

Besides the Sword Demon, who else might overtake him?

Clutching a hostage, Shen Jue feared no pursuers at all!

Yet Qin Shan came to an abrupt halt.

Suddenly, a dog materialized right before them, staring down at Shen Jue with the disdain of a lord beholding a lowly worm.

Spotting this, Shen Jue's eyes ignited with killing intent as he aimed to frighten the mutt off.

Qin Shan opened his mouth once more.

"Have you laid eyes on the devil?"

"Get moving!"

Shen Jue's attempt to shoo the dog failed, so he dismissed its haughty stare entirely.

"Well, today's your fortunate day." Qin Shan lunged ahead unexpectedly, catching Shen Jue off guard.

Furious, Shen Jue swung his sword to slay the insolent Qin Shan in one stroke, only to discover his blade stuck fast.

Despite every effort, the sword refused to shift.

It hung suspended in mid-air, as if iced solid.

Next, that chilling, all-too-familiar presence materialized before him anew. Shen Jue recoiled like a spooked cat, forsaking his sword to stumble back several paces in terror, the weapon clattering to the ground as he fled.

Before Shen Jue could even twitch, a crimson iron chain whipped out from thin air, wrapping him snug as a coffin's embrace. Inside the Immortal Sect, his movements crawled like a snail's, leaving him no chance to dodge.

Beyond the Immortal Sect's limits, evasion might have been possible.

Trussed up by the scarlet chain, Shen Jue frantically channeled his Spirit Body's strength to snap free, reduced to a quivering sheep before the butcher's knife. Dread seeped into his very soul.

The entrance to Undead Hell yawned wide the very next instant.

A dark stone gate, shrouded in swirling Death Qi, creaked open right behind Shen Jue.

Black Qi coalesced into myriad chains that seized Shen Jue, yanking him into the abyss amid his frantic resistance. In that moment, he wailed like a terrified toddler.

Bang!

The stone door slammed closed.

With the stone door's vanishing, Shen Jue was erased from the world.

The Evil Spirit Knight flickered into view for a brief second, then hopped onto the Mountain Dog chuckling, vanishing once more to resume patrolling the Immortal Sect.

Gazing at the spot Shen Jue had been dragged away from, Qin Shan grinned and declared, "That's the devil!"

Qin Shan felt no fear, fully aware of the Evil Spirit Knight lurking nearby.

Furthermore, the Sect Leader had shared that the Evil Spirit Knight now wielded a fresh power—captivity!

Any judged as profound evil by the Evil Spirit Knight faced instant imprisonment in Undead Hell, enduring its endless torments.

From his reading of Immortal Slayer, he grasped some idea of Hell.

He understood it as the realm souls entered after death, brimming with agony and wickedness, utterly intolerable for the living.

Above all, entry meant eternal confinement with zero chance of release.

...

"Hear that?"

"Whose screams were those?"

"The cries have ceased!"

Sixteen figures clustered together, straining to peer toward the Main Hall, burning with curiosity over the events.

Had Shen Jue broken free?

No clashes echoed from up ahead, so whose wails had rung out?

Likewise, the Red Leaf Sect prodigies watched with bated breath.

Escape eluded them all.

Yet a single successful flight would ignite their spirits tremendously.

Time dragged on.

As anticipation built among the watchers, Qin Shan reappeared.

Completely unharmed, he strode to the woodland's fringe and, spotting the group, barked, "What's all this?"

Hearts plummeted for everyone.

Hopes crumbled in a flash, popping like soap bubbles on water's surface.

Of course.

Could fleeing the Immortal Sect prove so simple?

Without the Sword Demon's intervention, would he stand alone as the supreme powerhouse?

The Sword Demon wouldn't align with some feeble group.

The faction must already boast immense might to draw him in.

This realization snuffed out their slim escape dreams, eroding their pride as Earth Unrestricted experts.

Time to plant those trees properly!

Just seven days!

We can endure it!

"Who felled that tree, and why's it still lying there?" Qin Shan pointed at a thick trunk chopped down close by.

"I'll haul it away right now!"

An Earth Unrestricted expert dashed forward without delay.

...

On the next day.

Shen Jue's demise barely registered for Wen Ping, since the Shen Family's 400,000 White Crystals would still arrive.

His focus now lay solely on the Immortal Daily and the impending completion of the next fame mission.

The progress bar showed under forty percent awareness in the Red Domain about the Immortal Sect, with sixty percent still oblivious to its presence or deeds—impressive given Chen Xie's relentless promotion; sans his efforts, it would lag even further.
