System's Super Sect Chapter 896 - 842: Wood Dragon Enters Jianshui City

Amidst the heavens overflowing with fluttering Immortal Dailies, Dragon Gate members, regardless of their count, couldn't halt Jianshui City's residents from wildly grabbing the Immortal Dailies.

Threatened by Dragon Gate members, the people would snatch a paper and flee.

Without Dragon Gate members nearby, they'd peruse the papers right on the streets, chatting animatedly.

All were utterly stunned upon reading about the Immortal Sect and the Sword Demon who slew 17 Earth Unrestricted Experts in a row.

Few Upper Realm powerhouses exist in the Red Domain.

The Red Leaf Sect's Sect Leader counts as one.

Xuanting Pavilion's Pavilion Master is another.

Plus the living Supreme Elder from the Yin Yang Family.

Beyond those, Dragon Gate's Sect Leader sits only at Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm, while In Water's Sect Leader lingers at the Middle Realm.

The Immortal Sect boasts an Upper Realm expert!

Little wonder it fears not the Red Leaf Sect!

It even dared slay the Red Leaf Sect's Vice Sect Leader!

Jianshui City erupted in chaos instantly.

Red Leaf Sect news spread like wildfire.

Immortal Sect tidings also exploded outward.

Lei Qianshan and Jian Chenxin, who had assumed total dominance thinking strong dragons couldn't crush local snakes, got the news right then.

While questioning Yi Jian and scheming a deceptive act together, the report reached Lei Qianshan and Jian Chenxin.

Unable to find Yi Yi, their plan was to fake discovering her.

Yi Jian would buy it if the performance rang true.

They'd even readied a substitute, planning to let Yi Jian hear agonized wails through a barrier; to avoid voice mismatches, they sliced off the person's tongue, ensuring the muffled cries wouldn't arouse doubt.

"Want to hear your daughter’s cries of agony? Yi Jian, shut your eyes and savor this," Jian Chenxin smirked smugly, pointing at the shadow on the barrier, roaring with laughter.

Yi Jian, lost in madness and muddled thoughts, fixed his blood-tear-filled eyes on the barrier's silhouette. "Jian Chenxin, Lei Qianshan, kill me if you must, but spare my daughter, I beg you..."

Bloody tears now drenched Yi Jian.

The barrier figure's torturous, voiceless howls ripped through his soul.

Suddenly, Dragon Gate Law Enforcers burst in, thrusting a newspaper before the pair.

"Sect Leader, Senior Jian Chenxin, Immortal Dailies have flooded the city out of nowhere, and they say..."

"What do they say?"

Jian Chenxin glared furiously at the Dragon Gate underlings.

These boors dared spoil his fun at such a moment.

Had they been his In Water folk, he'd have slain them on the spot.

Lei Qianshan showed no rage, merely snatched the Immortal Daily, stayed silent, and strode from the cell.

Jian Chenxin trailed after, sighing.

Emerging outside, Jian Chenxin grumbled, "Brother Lei, why fuss over an Immortal Daily right now?"

"Look for yourself."

Lei Qianshan passed the Immortal Daily, jabbing at the boldest headline.

"What am I looking at?"

Jian Chenxin took it irritably, skimmed the Immortal Daily, and spotted the Immortal Sect piece.

Jian Chenxin fell quiet.

A long pause later, he muttered, "Fake news?"

Upper Realm?

How could Immortal Sect harbor an Upper Realm expert?

Forget the Sword Demon—he knew that rogue ignored even Six-star sect overtures—what strength did Immortal Sect possess?

A newly risen sect, what power?

Lei Qianshan, brows knit tightly, declared, "Can't confirm yet; I'll send scouts to probe the 14 Cities first."

"Fine, fine."

Jian Chenxin flicked his hand, shredding the paper with Vein Qi.

Glancing back at the cell, he lost interest in the charade, opting instead to dispatch men near Star Sword Mountain.

This issue loomed huge, tied to an Upper Realm being—no time for delays.

Should Immortal Sect truly hold Upper Realm might without Red Leaf Sect aid, they faced dire straits.

Both sects lay perilously close to Immortal Sect.

The 14 Cities had crumbled.

They'd be next.

Leaving the cell behind, Jian Chenxin shot skyward, vanishing from Jianshui City.

Lei Qianshan swiftly unleashed his Wing Race Demon King toward Star Sword Mountain Range for nonstop intel.

…

Jianshui City.

Yue Wanlou.

Chen Xie and his group had sped from Jing Mountain City to Jianshui City's Yue Wanlou at dawn, setting a modest repast while awaiting Wood Dragon.

As intel stated, Elder Mu was Immortal Sect's fresh elder, departing post his night contact with the Sect Leader.

Nonstop travel under stars and moon, not even pausing for water!

Besides Chen Xie and crew, Ye Wuhuan arrived too, done skulking.

He boldly escorted Yi Yi to Yue Wanlou, poised for Immortal Sect's coming.

"Elder Mu, have you reached the city?"

After patient waiting, Chen Xie abruptly grabbed the Sound Transmission Stone; the tavern folk all rose instinctively.

Wood Dragon's voice echoed from the stone.

"I've entered the city already. Years since I wandered a human city-state."

Chen Xie smiled back, "Once we settle this, I'll tour Jianshui City with Elder Mu."

Chuckling, Chen Xie stepped out to welcome Wood Dragon.

Quarter-hour later, Wood Dragon strode from street's end.

His verdant beard swayed as he eyed roadside stalls; spotting this, Chen Xie rushed forward with the others to greet.

"Elder Mu, Chen Xie here; we've waited eagerly."

"Am I tardy?" Wood Dragon replied.

"Right on time."

Chen Xie answered swiftly, about to guide Wood Dragon inside for a meal after the grueling trip.

Yet Wood Dragon refused outright, "I grasp the situation; save Yi Jian first, then chat. Dragon Gate and In Water act lawlessly—Immortal Dailies aid all life, but they block them! They deserve death!"

Hearing this, Yi Yi dashed up gratefully, heedless of propriety, "Elder Mu, thank you! Yi Yi won't forget your immense grace; she'll repay it one day!"

Eyes on thrilled Yi Yi, Wood Dragon turned warmly to her.

Chen Xie hastened to clarify, "Elder Mu, she's Senior Yi Jian's cherished daughter."

Wood Dragon smiled softly at Yi Yi, "I arrived late, letting your father endure extra torment—don't fault me."

Yi Yi shook her head fast, "Your arrival fills Yi Yi with joy alone."

Wood Dragon patted Yi Yi's head tenderly, gaze affectionate.

"Elder Chen shared your father's tale; whatever drew him to We've Known Tower, aiding Immortal Sect earns our full safeguard." Wood Dragon eyed Chen Xie firmly, "Elder Chen, guide us—rescue her father now. Dragon Gate plans Yi Jian's public execution to flaunt power; today, I'll shame them utterly!"
