System's Super Sect Chapter 920 - 863: Jinzhi Tower’s New Plan (Fourth Update)

After the Immortal Sect turned into the common foe of the demons, and once the Red Leaf Sect started its brutal suppression of the Jin Zhi Tower, the latter pressed on with unyielding promotion of the Vortex Map auction. Momentum surged through countless locations as they fixed the event for ten days ahead.

Fueled by fifteen nonstop days of buildup, Chen Xie felt certain he would pull in massive crowds.

Yet in these recent days, Chen Xie noticed the Red Leaf Sect's retaliation exploding in ferocity, dispatching hordes to chase Jin Zhi Tower members and slapping bounties on their heads. Naturally, all this unfolded beyond Star Sword Mountain and Azure Abyss Pool.

Chen Xie first figured that extra caution and a temporary slowdown in growth would suffice. But now, a traitor lurked within Jin Zhi Tower's ranks.

Though confident in nabbing the betrayer swiftly, Chen Xie dreaded that Jin Zhi Tower's outward push might grind to a halt.

"Sect Leader, outward expansion looks impossible right now. The Red Leaf Sect's strikes have turned ferocious all of a sudden."

Chen Xie skipped any traitor talk.

He saw no need to burden the Sect Leader with such minor woes.

Hearing this, Wen Ping paused in silence before responding, "We saw it coming. Switch the Immortal Daily's sales to free distribution then. Send Wing Race Great Demons to rain them down from the skies. Funnel all auction earnings from these ten Vortex Maps straight to Jin Zhi Tower."

"Sect Leader, shouldn't we freeze our expansion?" Chen Xie, mid-traitor hunt, knew full well the chaos the Sect Leader's scheme would unleash.

Not even Jin Zhi Tower's riches, boosted by White Crystals from ten Vortex Maps, could cover it!

A single Four-Vortex Vortex Map fetched just 100,000 White Crystals.

The Sect Leader's version boasted a unique power, yet it likely wouldn't fetch far more.

Blanketing the Red Domain with free Immortal Dailys—millions, even tens of millions per city.

That meant at least 500,000 White Crystals monthly!

Over a year, 6 million White Crystals!

Wen Ping shot back, "Stopping isn't an option! Pausing lets foes creep closer bit by bit. Bottom line: blanket the entire Red Domain with Immortal Daily hype as fast as possible, paving way for Immortal Sect's next moves. Ditch White Crystal worries— they'll never run dry!"

Chen Xie nodded, grasping the Sect Leader's vision.

White Crystals short? Raid Red Leaf Sect's vassal hordes.

They overflowed with them!

"Sect Leader, got it!" Chen Xie pressed on, "Jin Zhi Tower will blanket the Red Domain with Immortal Dailys at top speed!"

Chen Xie pledged without delay!

In that instant, fire blazed anew in Chen Xie's chest.

Red Leaf Sect barring the path? He'd crush right through!

Wen Ping then declared, "I'll grace the auction in ten days."

"I eagerly await the Sect Leader's arrival!"

Chen Xie shot back.

Once the Sound Transmission Stone fell quiet, Chen Xie sprang up, strode out, and scanned Jianshui City sprawling below from the outer walkway.

As auction day loomed, forces flooded into Jianshui City.

Over two hundred thirty 5-star forces alone had converged.

Earth Unrestricted Experts topped 300!

Hard to imagine the frenzy when bidding ignited.

Chen Xie whipped out the Sound Transmission Stone at once. "Elder Yijian, Sect Leader's overseeing personally—no need for nerves."

Red Leaf Sect's fresh assaults had Yijian on edge, dreading trouble from their vassals.

Across the Sound Transmission Stone, this news drew Yijian's relieved exhale. "Sect Leader on site eases my mind greatly. With him there, Red Leaf Sect vassals won't dare stir. Still, this old man frets over Red Leaf Sect crashing the party!"

Chen Xie nodded. "Their frenzy lately screams unusual—we can't dismiss trouble. But Sect Leader's watch keeps it minor. If Red Leaf Sect Leader shows to disrupt, ours won't spare her."

With that, Chen Xie severed the link with Yijian and rallied subordinates to erect vast workshops in Star Sword Mountain and Azure Abyss Pool.

From this day, Red Domain's Immortal Dailys would launch hence, flung skyward by Wing Race Demons.

Far-flung delivery delays? Chen Xie brushed them off.

Immortal Sect wielded teleportation arrays!

Instant across realms!

Better yet, teleportation arrays could shuttle Jin Zhi Tower swarms domain-wide alongside Immortal Dailys, spawning bases everywhere and dodging Red Leaf Sect's siege outright.

"Perfect—why didn't I see it sooner?" Chen Xie yanked out the Sound Transmission Stone anew for Wen Ping.

And poured out fervent new schemes.

Chen Xie braced for rejection, given teleportation arrays' secrecy—exposure risked deadly foes.

Yet Wen Ping greenlit it.

More than that, he okayed unlimited manpower.

Wen Ping had ironclad rationale, of course.

Who could breach Immortal Sect's defense array?

Who could survive its killing arrays?

None in the Red Domain!

Thus, Immortal Sect turf meant total safety.

Teleportation arrays' leak? Zero threat.

...

Nine days blurred by.

In those nine, Immortal Sect snagged 47 recruits, but even amid Immortal Daily's hype blitz, filling 80 slots demanded another ten to fifteen days.

Not from slackers dodging Master's Dao Maze, but trial failures mounting.

Ninety percent hid dark intents, rebellion simmering, motives tangled.

Then Yun Liao emerged from Fifth World.

Ten days left Yun Liao's looks untouched.

Shifted were his cultivation grasp and Storm Sword Array mastery.

Post-Fifth World, Yun Liao bolted to Sect Task Hall for missions. Sect task points had dried up, and Fifth World entry demanded 100 each go.

Luck struck: debut mission paid 100 sect task points!

[Magic Showoff]

[Disguised, head to Jianshui City and thrash demon Ji Daoshi]

[Note: Ji Daoshi packs elite spiritual power—extreme danger!]

[Defeat Reward: 70 Task Points]

[Kill Reward: 100 Task Points]

Yun Liao scanned, accepted sans pause, hit Zi Ran for disguise celestials, then teleported to Jianshui City in a flash!

Task in hand ignited thrill.

Storm Sword Array honed, he'd craved worthy foes—weaklings bored him.

Sect task delivered prime peril, firing Yun Liao's zeal.

Potent spiritual power? He yearned to clash!

"Clashing Heaven-Gazing Gorge's true genius—can't wait!" Yun Liao muttered, buzzing, slipping into Jianshui City as a roaming trader!
