System's Super Sect Chapter 892 - 838: Is the Dragon Gate Vassal the Master of the Jin Zhi Pavilion? (First Update)

Seeing that Jian Chenxin showed no signs of jesting, Lei Qianshan believed it seventy to eighty percent deep down, resolving to trail Jian Chenxin and check it out himself.

To uncover the identity of this enigmatic All-Knowing Tower master.

To grasp every matter across the heavens?

All-knowing?

The All-Knowing Tower boasts boldly, just like an innocent youth newly venturing into the world.

"Where is he now?"

"Right in Jianshui City!"

Upon Jian Chenxin speaking those words, Lei Qianshan paused briefly, a frosty smirk laced with killing intent lingering on his mouth for a prolonged moment.

Unlike Jian Chenxin who relished slaughter, he held no love for it, yet the All-Knowing Tower master boldly showing up in Jianshui City offered ample cause to strike. He despised intruders meddling in his domain, akin to barring outsiders from approaching his woman.

"Follow me!"

Jian Chenxin swiftly turned into a brilliant streak, dashing straight into Jianshui City.

Lei Qianshan hastily pursued behind.

After touching down in a secluded alley, the pair shifted to foot travel, wandering the streets as if without direction, though their target remained sharply defined. At last, they reached a location within Jianshui City—the Water Academy.

Dragon Gate’s vassal!

Five-star Influence—Water Academy!

Lei Qianshan knitted his brows and questioned, "Are you sure it’s here?"

"Never expected it, huh? Truthfully, I was shocked too. Why would a Dragon Gate vassal turn into the All-Knowing Tower master? The truth likely demands capturing the Water Academy’s dean." Jian Chenxin advanced inside, sauntering casually.

Along the pathway, academy students occasionally strolled past, varying in looks and strength, but none spared a glance at Jian Chenxin and Lei Qianshan.

Before long, the duo stood beneath the Water Building.

The Water Academy dean lurked directly upstairs!

…

Water Building.

Within a chamber on the highest level, the Water Academy’s dean reclined in a seat, clutching an Immortal Daily and eyeing it contentedly. His look resembled a parent's gaze upon their child, brimming with warmth and fondness.

Over these recent days, he had already perused the Immortal Daily at least a hundred times, poring over that single article repeatedly for hundreds of readings.

Still, it fell short!

Any moment of leisure sparked his urge to leaf through the Immortal Daily.

Stroking his snowy beard, the Water Academy dean grinned while admiring the Immortal Daily. A young lady stood at his side, her brows finely arched, almond eyes twinkling brightly, skin smooth as jade, a soft smile rendering her strikingly alluring.

This was the Water Academy dean’s sole daughter—Yi.

"You’ve already read it at least a hundred times; why keep poring over it again and again?" Yi grew more baffled by her father’s behavior these days.

"Because it holds the power to transform the world, though just a slim paper sheet, it embodies your father’s long-held dreams. I can almost envision a time when folks learn all heavenly affairs from home without stirring."

The Water Academy’s dean brimmed with thrill right then, his spirit surging with visions of tomorrow, his withered old heart blazing anew with fervent youth.

He too had known youth, chasing whatever stirred his soul—power, women, dominion. Yet as years slipped away, he entombed those cravings profoundly, so buried that absent a reminder, those blazing past dreams nearly vanished from memory.

Now, a beacon of hope reignited his aspirations; through his final days, he yearned for ever more readers of the Immortal Daily.

Bam!

The office door flew open from a sudden kick.

Lei Qianshan marched inside, clapping mockingly with each step, "Yi Jian, you old undying, you truly surprise me. Last time I saw you, you removed a great threat for my Dragon Gate, your loyalty is as clear as the sun and moon. Now after a few years apart only, why have you changed so much?"

"Sect Leader!"

The elderly dean jolted in shock, the Immortal Daily tumbling from his grasp.

How could this be?

He believed his secrecy held firm.

The Immortal Daily printing workshop hid underground beneath the Water Academy, a secret shared solely with his daughter, unknown to any outsider.

"Brother Lei, was I wrong? This old guy is the master of the All-Knowing Tower." Jian Chenxin entered next, smirking with malicious glee.

As Jian Chenxin crossed the threshold, Yi Jian flung open his Meridian Gate, unleashing a disk-like Sword Qi. Then, yanking his daughter behind him, he tossed her through the window, "Yi, run fast!"

Yi cried out, "Father, let’s leave together!"

Yi Jian watched his Sword Qi effortlessly shattered by Lei Qianshan, sighing in resignation, "Don’t look back, keep running forward, leave Jianshui City! Do not return until reaching Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm!"

Tears flooded Yi’s eyes as she beheld her father’s valiant figure, sobbing bitterly yet pressing onward without pause.

Glancing downward, she clenched the stone her father had covertly passed her!

Lei Qianshan ignored Yi’s flight entirely, eyes fixed on the cornered Yi Jian, then demanded, "Was being dean of the Water Academy not enough? Why did you betray me and create something called the All-Knowing Tower."

"All-Knowing Tower... All-Knowing Tower... Someone must have betrayed me." Yi Jian gave a wry laugh, harboring no regrets.

The Immortal Daily had launched.

He felt immense joy!

Even if he might never witness the Immortal Daily’s triumph or the dawn of a new era, joy filled him still.

Bam—

Lei Qianshan activated his Meridian Gate.

A surge through the Meridian Gate unleashed Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm pressure, before Lei Qianshan lunged forward, his fists pounding Yi Jian’s chest and hurling him hundreds of yards, crashing through the academy entrance.

Terrified students leaped to their feet, hurrying to assist.

"Dean!"

"Dean, are you alright?"

As they neared, Lei Qianshan and Jian Chenxin materialized ahead, their glowing four Meridian Gates sending the students scattering in panic.

Yi Jian chuckled bitterly while eyeing Lei Qianshan, "Lei Qianshan, Jian Chenxin, since death claims me today, let me reveal a secret before the end!"

"Speak!"

Lei Qianshan’s tone cut like ice.

Yi Jian wiped blood from his beard-tainted lips, flashing a knowing grin, "I’m merely a minor figure in the All-Knowing Tower. Do you two grasp what truly stands behind the All-Knowing Tower?"

Jian Chenxin froze.

Not the All-Knowing Tower master?

Jian Chenxin’s fury ignited, "Don’t play games; folks in Water City already confessed. What’s the use in feigning innocence?"

Yi Jian burst into laughter, "They’ve never glimpsed the real All-Knowing Tower, only me. Those higher up lack the stature to encounter!"

With that, Yi Jian roared in mirth.

He beheld Jian Chenxin’s rage-twisted face.

He noted Lei Qianshan’s grim silence.

Dying today proved worthwhile!
