System's Super Sect Chapter 901 - 847: What a Coincidence, This Is By the Water (Fifth Update)

"Senior, although I, Lei Qianshan, desperately want to live and am prepared to offer a price, isn't it too much to treat me as an idiot?"

Lei Qianshan had reached his limit.

He refused to accept that the Unbreakable Sect produced the Immortal Daily without hidden motives, simply to aid the Human Race.

Do such selfless individuals truly walk the earth?

Yes, they do!

Yet they linger only in ancient tales.

Mu Long noticed Lei Qianshan's pigheaded refusal to yield and saw no point in arguing further.

Those trapped at the well's bottom gaze upward for years, convinced their narrow views define reality, unaware that observers from beyond perceive them as utterly obstinate and beyond saving.

"If scheming was afoot, do you honestly think your puny Dragon Gate could halt the mighty advance of the Immortal Sect?" Mu Long sneered.

With that, Mu Long grew disinterested in continuing, flicking his hand as his Demon Pill surged with immense demon power, condensing rapidly.

Poof!

The demon power exploded outward in an instant.

A strand of demon power pursued Lei Qianshan for mere breaths before abruptly dividing into three streams—one left, one right, and one straight ahead.

These three demon power streams zeroed in on Lei Qianshan!

Bam!

All three struck Lei Qianshan's unguarded back at once, hurling him through the air like a wounded bird plummeting to earth.

While tumbling downward, Lei Qianshan ignored the agonizing pain ripping through his back, desperately attempting to fend off the myriad streaming lights, but his Vein Qi proved too feeble, allowing the lights to flood into his body.

"Ah—"

A piercing wail resounded across the heavens.

His frame couldn't endure the overwhelming essence qi, which now rampaged wildly in search of places to settle.

Through the meridians.

At the Meridian Gate.

Within flesh and bone.

Inside his mind.

Every possible nook for respite became flooded by the essence qi.

...

At the Azure Abyss Pool's side.

The Water’s Edge sect, constructed along the pool's shore, boasted over two or three hundred thousand disciples, among them five Earth Unrestricted Experts, commanded by the Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm powerhouse Jian Chenxin.

As a dominant force within ten thousand miles of the Azure Abyss Pool, the Water’s Edge sect teemed with bustling disciples, radiating a vibe of unity and vigor.

Belonging to the Water’s Edge sect filled them with pride.

They viewed themselves as above others.

And rightfully so.

Even ordinary Water’s Edge sect disciples striding through streets commanded fear from Five-star Influence members, who avoided any clashes.

In a lengthy corridor, a group of female disciples strolled along, their expressions brimming with thrill, enchanted by their surroundings.

Leading them, a proud Water’s Edge sect disciple strode ahead, declaring earnestly, "Sisters, now that you've entered the Water’s Edge sect, you belong to us. Our heritage runs deep; cultivate diligently and stay true to the sect, and within these ten thousand miles around Azure Abyss Pool, a spot awaits each of you!"

"Elder Brother, we get it."

The female disciples replied with deference.

In truth, visions of their bright futures already danced in their minds.

Once in the Water’s Edge sect, with steadfast cultivation, fame within the ten thousand miles of Azure Abyss Pool was assured.

After all, the Water’s Edge sect stood as one of the top powers here, rivaled only by Dragon Gate.

The guiding male disciple, pleased by the new recruits' compliance, turned and smiled, "Sisters, I'm Chen Qing, under the Earth Unrestricted Expert Steward Luo Ye. If you're willing, let's get to know each other."

Hearing he served an Earth Unrestricted Expert, the girls nodded enthusiastically.

This connection promised massive benefits!

Who wouldn't seize such an edge fresh upon joining?

But as they consented, a dark figure plummeted from above, smashing into the nearby Azure Abyss Pool.

Boom!

Water erupted skyward like a towering cascade, soaring a hundred feet!

Moments later, a green-bearded elder arrived, suspending himself above the Water’s Edge sect, peering down at the fallen figure in the pool.

This was Mu Long!

The female disciples hurried closer, merging with the crowd of spectators on the corridor, staring toward the Azure Abyss Pool.

"That's an Earth Unrestricted Expert!"

"Wow! Who's he chasing?"

Water’s Edge sect disciples gazed in awe at the hovering Mu Long and the submerged target.

Soon, the waves calmed.

Lei Qianshan shakily ascended, his presence faded to near collapse, his limbs quivering visibly from a distance.

Clearly, Lei Qianshan was spent!

Death loomed inevitable.

Lips quivering, Lei Qianshan uttered in hopelessness, "You Country will never let this slide!"

He skipped mentioning Ye Wuping, knowing the Immortal Sect had the Sword Demon, and here faced this Demon God—two Upper Realm foes.

No matter Ye Wuping's ferocity, could she overcome both?

Mu Long replied coldly, "Worry less about that, Lei Qianshan. Think of your Dragon Gate instead; after you perish, how many will nibble it away piece by piece. The Sect Leader showed mercy, never aiming at Dragon Gate or Water’s Edge sect, but you blocked his grand designs. Happy with the result?"

"Heh heh."

Lei Qianshan let out a feeble laugh.

His hand lifted, summoning a golden spear as his Meridian Gate shuddered, priming for one last strike.

But Mu Long simply jabbed a finger.

Demon power lanced straight through Lei Qianshan.

The spear tumbled from his grasp instantly, his Meridian Gate sealed shut, and Dragon Gate's Sect Leader, Lei Qianshan, dropped into the Azure Abyss Pool like a severed kite string.

Splash!

Silence followed!

The distant Water’s Edge sect disciples stood stunned.

Not by the swift battle's close, but the victim's identity.

Dragon Gate’s Sect Leader, Lei Qianshan?

"Dragon Gate’s Sect Leader is slain!"

"Impossible!"

"Wasn't Dragon Gate’s Sect Leader an Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm powerhouse?"

"Who is this killer of Dragon Gate’s Sect Leader?!"

Amid the shocked exclamations, the newcomers' worldviews crumbled.

An Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm perished before their eyes.

Dragon Gate held no true might.

Nor did Water’s Edge sect, by extension.

The force behind Lei Qianshan's slayer—that was the real juggernaut!

Curiosity burned: who was this elder before them?

Then, three Earth Unrestricted Lower Realm Vice Sect Leaders from Water’s Edge sect soared forth, halting a hundred feet from Mu Long.

"Greetings, Senior. I am Ping Dao, Vice Sect Leader of Water’s Edge sect."

"Greetings, Senior. I am Yan Qingshan, Vice Sect Leader of Water’s Edge sect."

"Greetings, Senior. I am She He, Vice Sect Leader of Water’s Edge sect. Forgive our poor welcome!"

Mu Long's eyebrows arched faintly.

So, this was the Water’s Edge sect!

What perfect timing!

"Now that I've arrived, I'll reunite you with Jian Chenxin."

Mu Long lifted his hand again!

Demon Power exploded forth!
