System's Super Sect Chapter 916 - 859: The Red Leaf Sect’s Wrath! (Third Update)
Previously on System's Super Sect...
The Immortal Sect now declares all 23 School Vein Skills, famed for ages as the Red Leaf Sect's signature techniques, open to any who join their ranks.
At first, disbelief gripped them, yet with detailed excerpts from every one of the 23 Vein Skills laid bare, acceptance was inevitable.
"How on earth did the Immortal Sect get hold of these 23 School Vein Skills?"
"Exactly, wasn't it just days ago that the Immortal Sect Leader visited the Red Leaf Sect and slew East Vice Sect Leader and the rest? They must have looted them then."
"Heavens, the Red Leaf Sect's boasted School Vein Skills have been seized by the Immortal Sect! How can the Red Leaf Sect save face now?"
Rumors like these exploded across the Red Leaf Sect's domain.
Speculation soon followed from some.
Did the Red Leaf Sect truly lose only the School Vein Skills?
Surely more treasures were taken!
In less than a day, the shocking news reached deep inside the Red Leaf Sect itself.
Red Leaf Sect disciples, struck by the report and poring over the Immortal Daily, surged with complex feelings.
Not a single soul rejoiced.
After all, their sect's celebrated School Vein Skills, renowned throughout the Red Domain, had been usurped by the Immortal Sect, utterly demolishing the Red Leaf Sect's prestige.
Upon hearing this outrage, the Red Leaf Sect's vice sect leaders boiled with rage, eager to launch a full assault on the Immortal Sect.
"This is outrageous—every one of our Red Leaf Sect's School Vein Skills! They're claiming them as their own and teaching them to their disciples!"
"Can we stand for this? If yes, what will the Red Domain folk think of our Red Leaf Sect?"
"Charge! Let's crush the Immortal Sect!"
"Yes, let's go!"
Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm powerhouses rose one after another in fury, ready to charge forth unstoppable.
Ye Wuping's arrival in the chamber finally soothed them somewhat. Though they stayed put, their demands rang loud.
"Sect Leader, issue the command!"
"Indeed, Sect Leader, the Immortal Sect has slapped us in the face—without revenge, how will our Red Leaf Sect hold its head high?"
Ye Wuping eyed the enraged group, then spoke gravely, "Can't you see which priorities matter most at this hour?"
"But..."
One Red Leaf Sect vice sect leader pressed on, only for Ye Wuping to cut him off.
Ye Wuping pressed further, "The Immortal Sect aims to humiliate us with this ploy. Such petty games, and you've fallen for them?"
Rebuked by Ye Wuping, they grudgingly resumed their seats.
Angry outbursts ceased, but wrath burned visibly in their eyes.
Ye Wuping harbored her own blaze of anger, yet priorities lay with the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking and tracking the Wood Dragon.
The Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking shapes the Red Leaf Sect's destiny.
The Wood Dragon's trail guards the Red Leaf Sect's very roots.
The Immortal Sect's foolish provocations? She must swallow them temporarily.
A direct strike on the Immortal Sect now would anger the Domain Master, inflict heavy casualties on the Red Leaf Sect, and risk forfeiting their shot at the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking—a devastating blow.
Le Qing, who had stayed quiet till then, rose and declared, "Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart has responded, agreeing to fight for the Red Leaf Sect in the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking. There, we'll crush the Immortal Sect publicly, stripping their dignity and exposing to all in the Red Domain the absurdity of their top-spot claims."
Revenge, as the proverb goes, is a dish best served cold!
An old woman chimed in, "Do you grasp why the Immortal Sect pulls this stunt to rile us? Our vow to claim a top-ten spot spread far, scaring off geniuses from the Master's Dao Maze. The Immortal Sect panics! Absent panic, why stoop to these juvenile tactics?"
The vice sect leaders, absorbing Le Qing and the elderly woman's insights, cooled off, their fury ebbing away.
Blind with rage before, they hadn't pondered deeply, fixated only on unleashing wrath upon the Immortal Sect.
Now, their words sparked clarity and epiphany!
Indeed!
If the Immortal Sect felt no desperation,
why bother with such trivial schemes?
Le Qing went on, "You've fixated on the Immortal Sect's petty ploys. Did any of you actually read the Immortal Daily?"
There, amid all eyes, Le Qing produced a full Immortal Daily, spreading it wide to float before them. The bold recruitment pledge caught eyes first, but Le Qing highlighted elsewhere.
The Jinzhi Tower plans an auction in three days for ten Four-Vortex Vortex Maps!
Ye Wuping added then, "Four-Vortex Vortex Maps hold great value, sure—but why blast this auction so hugely in the Immortal Daily? Any ideas?"
"Why?"
Puzzlement swept the group.
"Keep reading," Ye Wuping urged.
All dove into the Immortal Daily eagerly, scrutinizing the text below.
It detailed Vortex Map powers: bestowing Wind Attribute Anomalous Veins for hurricane command; temporary invincibility against any assault, even from Earth Unrestricted experts; surging tenfold strength to shatter realm gaps and fight above one's level.
An unmatched Vortex Map!
Forged by the Immortal Sect Leader!
Finishing the piece, Red Leaf Sect vice sect leaders jolted awake, grasping the Immortal Sect's true pledge.
Purchasing priority for a Four-Vortex Vortex Map!
They'd deemed the Immortal Sect cheap before, since the Red Leaf Sect offered an Earth Level Upper Grade School Vein Skill—what's one Four-Vortex Vortex Map?
Precious as the Four-Vortex Vortex Map was, it remained obtainable!
Now, aware of its phenomenal abilities, they saw the frenzy it would ignite!
White Crystal might not even secure one!
"Here's the Immortal Sect's genuine scheme!" Le Qing stated gravely, eyeing them all.
"Should the Immortal Sect Leader craft such Vortex Maps for real, geniuses will flock endlessly. Our schemes could crumble entirely. Xuan Court Pavilion, Yin Yang Family—they won't sabotage Jinzhi Tower; they'll court the Immortal Sect instead, drawn by the Vortex Map's hype in the Immortal Daily."
The elderly woman's face darkened, worry flickering through.
Le Qing persisted, "Xuan Court Pavilion and Yin Yang Family harbor no grudge against the Immortal Sect anyway, so why antagonize a peerless Four-Vortex Vortex Map maker over one Jinzhi Tower? Even You Country's elites might take notice! Then, our Red Leaf Sect faces dire straits."
Silence blanketed the room instantly.
Not a word escaped.
Concern etched every face.
At this rate, Jinzhi Tower's momentum spells doom!
Ye Wuping countered, "Thus, we must crush Jinzhi Tower swiftly by any method, before You Country's top brass hears of the Vortex Map and obliterates the Immortal Sect!"
The elderly woman intoned heavily, "Sect Leader, deploy our You Country insiders now—they alone can halt the Jinzhi Tower auction and neutralize the Immortal Sect Leader's other dangers!"
"Reach out to Qian Jun and his crew!"
Ye Wuping ordered without hesitation.
Delay is no option!
A total war on the Immortal Sect remains premature, yet action demands now.
First, dismantle Jinzhi Tower!
