System's Super Sect Chapter 909 - 855: The Road Before the Jin Zhi Pavilion Is Fraught with Hardship

"Sect Leader, isn’t this Upper Grade... a bit much?"

Le Qing quickly spoke up in reminder.

Ye Wuping firmly declared, "I know, no need for your reminder!"

Having been rebuked twice already, Le Qing promptly closed his mouth, stepped back quietly to one side, and silently cautioned himself against uttering another word.

Afterward, once Ye Wuping issued several more directives, she streaked off toward Boundless in a dazzling blur, seemingly driven by pressing urgency.

Le Qing and the others scattered one by one.

The group assigned to track Boundless prodigies chased after them relentlessly, while those occupied with reorganizing the Sect pressed on with their tasks. Several more days slipped by in this way.

The Immortal Daily's announcement at last arrived at the Red Leaf Sect.

Word of the Immortal Sect's massive recruitment drive also came to the attention of the Red Leaf Sect's members.

The claim that entry into the sect ensured a top hundred position prompted many Red Leaf Sect Vice Sect Leaders to chuckle lightly.

Was securing a spot in the Red Domain's top hundred really so simple?

Yet another detail seized their focus: the Immortal Sect wasn't merely broadcasting recruitment via the Immortal Daily across wide areas but had also enlisted Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm experts. Upper Realm powerhouses exerted a deadly pull on Red Domain inhabitants.

"What do we do now?"

"The Immortal Sect now hosts Upper Realm powerhouses, turning things quite tricky."

"With those Upper Realm powerhouses appearing, even if prodigies doubt the Immortal Sect's top hundred pledge for the Red Domain, they'll still flock to join. If allowed to persist, this will surely sap our strength. Worse, further unchecked growth spells outright catastrophe!"

More than a dozen Red Leaf Sect Vice Sect Leaders convened in the Main Hall, fiercely debating the Immortal Sect threat, their faces shadowed by simmering rage.

In the end, the Immortal Sect occupied Red Leaf Sect territory, yet they poached talents right under their noses with no means to intervene.

Why the impotence?

The School Vein Skill simply lacked sufficient appeal.

Lei Qianshan and Jian Chenxin's demise blared a stark warning to every subordinate faction under the Red Leaf Sect.

This clash pitted Overlord level forces against each other; lesser powers best steered clear.

Though the Earth Level Upper Grade School Vein Skill held immense value!

Life proved far more invaluable!

Suddenly, one vice sect leader inquired, "Where's the Sect Leader? We haven't glimpsed her lately."

"The Sect Leader remains in Boundless."

Le Qing puzzled over the Sect Leader's prolonged stay in Boundless, yet curiosity aside, he repeatedly urged himself not to pry.

How dare he presume to guess the Sect Leader's intentions?

Le Qing pressed on, "The Sect Leader will emerge once finished. Our priority is countering the Immortal Sect. Even without leisure for all-out war now, we must halt their growth—the Immortal Daily and that sweeping recruitment scheme!"

"I suggest advancing this year's mass disciple intake for the Red Leaf Sect! No delaying till year's end, lest the Immortal Sect's plan becomes inevitable." The old woman mulled it over gravely. "Even with their Upper Realm powerhouses on display, we can counter with a bold stroke of our own!"

Le Qing eyed the old woman.

As the Red Leaf Sect's eldest vice sect leader, the old woman enjoyed Le Qing's deep trust.

"What bold stroke?"

The old woman explained, "We all recognize that the Immortal Sect's top hundred guarantee in the Red Domain rings hollow. Prodigies chase that Sword Demon alone. Why not counter with our vow: join us for a guaranteed top fifty spot in the Red Domain! Plus access to Earth Level Upper Grade School Vein Skills! This bait rivals their promise and the Upper Realm Sword Demon's allure, doesn't it?"

Le Qing beamed with delight. "Spot on!"

Le Qing then scanned the other Vice Sect Leaders, who after brief reflection, voiced their support.

Unlike the Immortal Sect's lofty assurance, the Red Leaf Sect's top fifty guarantee felt entirely feasible!

After all, during each Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, seven or eight Red Leaf Sect disciples claimed top fifty spots in the Red Domain!

In the most recent Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, ten even made it.

But the old woman continued, "That's not all; add this incentive: new recruits might catch the Sect Leader's eye for personal discipleship. Naturally, it's conditional—if she chooses them, great; if not, they accept it. Even knowing the risk, they'll vie for it, as countless Red Domain prodigies yearn to study under an Upper Realm being!"

Boasting an Upper Realm powerhouse as master meant striding proudly through the Red Domain!

Who hadn't dreamed of such glory?

Le Qing grinned. "Brilliant! This strategy will throttle the Immortal Sect's recruitment."

Le Qing surveyed the room.

The Red Leaf Sect's numerous Vice Sect Leaders nodded assent.

"Let's proceed like this!"

"Agreed!"

Not a single dissent.

Le Qing went on, "One more issue: curbing the Immortal Daily's spread. It's already infiltrating lands beyond Azure Abyss Pool, proliferating at breakneck speed like rampant weeds. Lei Qianshan and Jian Chenxin's fates deter anyone from truly blocking Jin Confidant Tower's Immortal Daily."

A Red Leaf Sect Vice Sect Leader rose. "I've perused that Immortal Daily from Jin Confidant Tower—its intel is staggering, covering nearly every fresh event. More shockingly, our return to the sect hit its pages the next day."

"Indeed, Brother Liu speaks true; I must add my piece. Their news spreads at an unbelievable pace. From here to Star Sword Mountain or Azure Abyss Pool spans hundreds of thousands of miles at minimum. Wing Race Demon Gods would need ten days minimum to relay word. But Jin Confidant Tower knew next day—perhaps same day!" Another Red Leaf Sect Vice Sect Leader stated, brows knit tight.

After those two, others chimed in extensively.

All marveled at Jin Confidant Tower's lightning-fast intelligence network.

Blocking the Immortal Daily's further expansion faded as a pressing concern.

For the force lurking behind Jin Confidant Tower terrified them far more than the publication's velocity.

Everything seemed gripped by Jin Confidant Tower's oversight, like baring themselves stark naked before it—a deeply unnerving sensation for the Red Leaf Sect.

Hours of debate later, the typically quiet old woman interjected once more. "Save this for the Sect Leader's return. Should Jin Confidant Tower have entrenched itself long ago in the Red Domain, we're in luck. Xuan Court Pavilion, Yin Yang Family, Domain Master—none tolerate it. If we hate surveillance, they loathe it more."

Le Qing's thoughts sharpened at her words. "Exactly! Alert the Domain Master, and Jin Confidant Tower can't survive. The outcome's clear: absorption or annihilation by the Domain Master!"

(No update during the Qixi Festival... not because I have a girlfriend. But because I’m suffering without one. Sigh, just went to drink with friends.)
