System's Super Sect Chapter 891 - 837: Has Chen Xie Been Exposed?

In the vast Red Domain, the Azure Abyss Pool stares across at the Star Sword Mountain Range from nearly ten thousand miles away. Both it and Star Sword Mountain count as legendary landmarks of the Red Domain.

Truth be told, this pool of murky water seems utterly commonplace, barely worth a glance. Much like wildflowers growing right at folks' doorsteps—unless it's in your own backyard, who'd give it any notice? Its sole remarkable trait might just be the fathomless depths at its core.

Naturally, the true source of its fame stems from two formidable Five-star Influences—In Shui Yi Fang and Dragon Gate—that have set up base there.

In Shui Yi Fang sits on the left side.

Dragon Gate holds the right.

These two mighty factions encircle the Azure Abyss Pool.

As the old saying puts it, when a man rises to the heavens, even his chickens and dogs follow. And so, the Azure Abyss Pool rose to match Star Sword Mountain's prestige.

A twenty-thousand-mile radius around the Azure Abyss Pool falls completely under In Shui Yi Fang and Dragon Gate control. That encompasses four colossal cities, each teeming with over fifty million souls: Jianshui City, Anxiang City, Bishui City, and the Water City bordering In Shui Yi Fang.

Chen Xie's fierce battlegrounds are precisely these four cities!

For Qinzhi Tower or the Immortal Daily to burst out from Star Sword Mountain, slip past the 14 cities, and overrun the full Red Domain, conquering these four megacities comes first; else, they'd stay pinned in Star Sword Mountain's shadowy corner.

Three days post the Immortal Daily's release, Dragon Gate's Sect Leader made a personal descent into Jianshui City, joined by In Shui Yi Fang's Sect Leader.

As for the Immortal Sect, while neither grasped the motive behind launching an Immortal Daily, the reality stood firm: the Immortal Sect had ambushed Red Leaf Sect amid the Sect Leader's absence, slaying Dongjin Vice Sect Leader plus over fifty elders, cementing their status as Red Leaf Sect's arch-enemy.

Being vassals, their direct arrival to scrutinize the Immortal Sect's sly intrusions on home ground was par for the course!

Hovering above Jianshui City, Dragon Gate's Sect Leader had a crimson-golden spear strapped to his back, arms clasped behind, scanning the city with an imperious gaze over all lifeforms. His eyes zeroed in on Jianshui City's brand-new Immortal Daily sales outlet.

"Lei Qianshan, why not go down and kill all these people?"

A voice drifted in from the distance right then.

A blue-robed man gripping a sword glided over slowly, eyes locked nonstop on the Immortal Daily shop below and its bustling customers streaming in and out.

Plenty dashed inside full of eager hope, forking over Gold Coins for an Immortal Daily, then exited buzzing with thrill.

The clueless might swear they'd snagged a Four-Vortex Vortex Map.

The longer he observed, the more hilarious it grew!

This blue-robed sword-wielder was none other than In Shui Yi Fang's Sect Leader—Jian Chenxin.

Without so much as turning to Jian Chenxin now beside him, Lei Qianshan sneered, "What’s the use of killing a bunch of ants? For every one of them that dies, another will take their place. You can never kill them all."

Why the impossibility of wiping them out?

This shop amounts to a mere droplet in the endless sea.

Lurking truly behind the shop lies a shadowy Immortal Sect outfit—Qinzhi Tower.

That's why news of it reached him only yesterday; absent the Immortal Daily's debut, Dragon Gate never suspected such a force lurking right underfoot. No matter their exhaustive searches, Qinzhi Tower details stayed elusive.

This ranks among prime motives drawing him personally to Jianshui City.

"But isn’t Jianshui City on your turf? Are you just letting them sell the Immortal Daily so recklessly? Lei Qianshan, it’s been years, and you've become harder to understand. Do you rely only on petty tricks? Even if you can turn white into black, aren’t people still willing to read the Immortal Daily?" Jian Chenxin finished with a disdainful glare at Lei Qianshan.

Lei Qianshan shot back coldly, "No matter what you say, I haven’t instructed my people to do anything. If you want to kill those in the shop, go down and slaughter them all. I, Lei Qianshan, will not stop you."

"A bunch of small fry isn’t worth my effort," Jian Chenxin dismissed.

Helplessly, Lei Qianshan pressed, "The entity behind this Immortal Daily, do you seriously not know, or are you pretending not to?"

Jian Chenxin retorted, "I know, isn’t it just Qinzhi Tower? Claiming to know everything, how laughable. In a few days, I’ll dig them out and kill them all to let the Immortal Sect know who rules around the Azure Abyss Pool!"

Disregarding Jian Chenxin's surging killing intent, Lei Qianshan went on, "I’ve read the Immortal Daily, and I must say, Qinzhi Tower’s intelligence capability is impressive, able to investigate even events in Supreme City, things even we weren’t clear about. But whether it’s true or false is unknown. Of course, that doesn’t matter. What matters is, if the information is true, why display painstakingly gathered intelligence openly in the Immortal Daily? If it’s false, why bother?"

This stood as a core reason for Lei Qianshan's trip to Jianshui City—he hunted clues, detecting something fishy.

"Why care so much? The Immortal Sect extended into our territory, just cut them off. Frankly, the Immortal Sect dared to attack while the Red Leaf Sect Leader and the Vice Sect Leaders were absent. In a few days, the Red Leaf Sect Leader will return, and by then, the Red Leaf Sect will leave no one alive! Wasn’t the Lingxiao Sword Sect stronger than the Immortal Sect back then? Yet it was still destroyed, wasn’t it? Compared to the Lingxiao Sword Sect, the Immortal Sect is still green." Jian Chenxin responded.

Jian Chenxin spoke with utter contempt.

Lei Qianshan offered no rebuttal to Jian Chenxin, since Lingxiao Sword Sect had truly been mighty, only for Red Leaf Sect to obliterate it regardless.

Maybe he was fretting excessively after all.

Could the Immortal Sect possibly rival the bygone Lingxiao Sword Sect?

In truth, it boiled down to nothing but a pathetic clown.

Lei Qianshan banished stray thoughts and questioned, "How about the Water City?"

"The Water City has them too, but I killed all those selling the Immortal Daily on my way here. As for those Immortal Dailies, naturally, they were all burned. I don’t care what they intend, but outside the Star Sword Mountain Range in the Azure Abyss Pool, even if the Immortal Sect were a dragon, they have to coil for me! Within thousands of miles around the Azure Abyss Pool, I, Jian Chenxin, call the shots!"

"Since you killed them all, why come here?"

"For fun."

"Boring."

"It is indeed boring, so I came to have you join in on capturing someone."

Jian Chenxin suddenly beamed with joy.

Lei Qianshan paused in shock, baffled, "Capture who?"

"The Qinzhi Tower Lord, those small fries at the Water City couldn’t withstand torture and disclosed the Qinzhi Tower Lord’s position."

"Confirmed?"

"Why else would I come to Jianshui City? To see that Jianshui City, like a pair of scissors, cutting water?"
