System's Super Sect Chapter 926 - 869: Ye Wuping Is Actually in Jianshui City! (Third Update)

That sentence echoed in Chen Xie’s mind for an extended period afterward.

It took quite some time before he finally came to terms with the reality.

Indeed, whatever was destined to arrive would surely come!

Even now, with hostility toward the Red Domain's Domain Master underway, his full-scale infiltration scheme was already in motion, leaving him unafraid of any pushback.

Furthermore, the Sect Leader backed him fully; the Sect's powerhouses would handle these foes, so why should he fret?

Chen Xie wasted no time, sending the Black Shadow to keep tabs on Jisheng Hall's members. Apart from Jingzhi Tower's Black Shadow, no one else earned his trust for this mission.

The Black Shadow consisted of unique beings forged from the remains of Earth Unrestricted powerhouses; even if Jisheng Hall detected them, capturing them would prove immensely challenging.

...

East side of Jianshui City.

As the Nine-Phoenix Bird prepared to touch down beyond the city walls, every five-star faction inside rushed out to greet Jisheng Hall's arrivals with utmost reverence.

Be they faithful to the Red Leaf Sect.

Or opposed to the Red Leaf Sect.

Right now, all showed deference to Jisheng Hall, as it stood for the Domain Master’s faction.

Some three to four hundred Earth Unrestricted powerhouses assembled outside the city, lining up respectfully on either side, awaiting the Nine-Phoenix Bird's descent.

Bang!

A thunderous impact rang out as the Nine-Phoenix Bird slammed down forcefully.

Once the dust settled, the assembly hastily offered slight bows to the figures emerging behind the Nine-Phoenix Bird, their respect profound.

Three individuals stood behind the Nine-Phoenix Bird altogether.

One appeared middle-aged, golden locks cascading over his shoulders, clad in black armor adorned with golden stripes. As the crowd bowed, he kept hands clasped behind his back, radiating an air of supremacy.

Despite the salutes from countless people, he gazed down arrogantly, yet none dared voice any discontent.

This was none other than Jisheng Hall’s Absolute Killing Divine General — Three Extremes!

Beneath Jisheng Hall’s Hall Master commanded ten Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm Divine Generals. Each stood unmatched, bearing the mantle of invincibility within the Middle Realm.

Setting aside their might, their prestige alone surpassed all others.

Another figure boasted red tresses flowing to her slender, serpentine waist, swaying gently now and then, radiating an irresistible seductive charm. Her gaze held a mesmerizing allure.

This was Jisheng Hall’s Life-taking Divine General — Evil Moon Princess!

The final one possessed an innocent look, appearing remarkably friendly.

Amid the crowd's bows, he alone responded cordially, chatting amiably with numerous Earth Unrestricted experts.

He was the famed Evil-Approaching Divine General, Qian Jun!

The instant Qian Jun leaped from the Nine-Phoenix Bird, everyone swarmed him, hailing him as a long-lost companion.

All eager to speak out first.

"Lord Qian Jun, we never expected you’d be one of the three who came this time."

"Lord Qian Jun, it’s been years since we’ve last met; you must honor us with a visit. I have acquired ten barrels of thousand-year-aged wine recently!"

Qian Jun replied cheerfully to everyone, then strode toward Jianshui City encircled by the throng.

Upon stepping into Jianshui City, three shadows trailed them silently.

As those shadows shifted, Three Extremes and Evil Moon Princess halted, scanning their surroundings.

Qian Jun caught on, his face stiffening briefly before smoothing over; he kept up his warm banter with the horde of Earth Unrestricted experts, acting as if all was normal.

Three Extremes and Evil Moon Princess shared a look, then addressed the humanoid Nine-Phoenix Bird together, "There’s something strange behind us!"

The Nine-Phoenix Bird swiftly reverted to its demonic shape, rocketed skyward, and surveyed the ground below, detecting no anomalies.

This baffled the two demons and the one human.

Once inside the city, Qian Jun showed no desire to stick with them.

"Everyone, let’s meet another day; we’ll surely drink without restraint when the time comes! Today I have some matters to attend to."

The throng of Earth Unrestricted experts offered courteous farewells before taking flight, vacating Jianshui City’s entrance route.

With the crowd gone, Qian Jun vaulted aloft, pursued by Three Extremes and Evil Moon Princess.

Three Extremes commented coolly, "Such unnecessary actions!"

Qian Jun grinned, replying, "In the Red Domain, it’s not just about killing; there are also interpersonal relationships, which you don’t understand."

Three Extremes dropped it, instead raising the prior oddity, "Earlier, I felt something was following us, but when the Nine-Phoenix Bird checked from above, nothing unusual was found. However, I feel it’s not just you and the Evil Moon Princess being paranoid."

Qian Jun mulled it over briefly, "Perhaps it was an illusion. Let’s first meet the Sect Leader, then visit the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect."

"Are you really willing to disregard the Domain Master’s decrees for the Red Leaf Sect?" Three Extremes questioned solemnly, "You know, if we make trouble with the Immortal Sect without cause, the Domain Master will surely kill us, even if the Hall Master pleads for us!"

Qian Jun chuckled, "What do you mean without cause? The Immortal Sect has been gaining a foothold in the Red Domain for over two months now, and they haven’t shown any intention of paying tribute to You Country. Jisheng Hall is responsible for this. So where’s the talk of helping the Sect Leader against the Immortal Sect?"

"What do you plan to do?" asked Three Extremes.

If the Immortal Sect obediently paid tribute.

What excuse would they have?

Without a reason, they couldn’t justifiably go against the Red Leaf Sect, as per the law of You Country.

Otherwise, wouldn’t they be betraying the Sect Leader’s trust?

Qian Jun answered without pause, "What else can we do? Tomorrow at the auction event, we’ll just see the Immortal Sect Sect Leader and decide from there."

Three Extremes fell silent.

Yet the Evil Moon Princess at his side murmured gently, "Then let’s go see the Sect Leader."

Qian Jun nodded, then burst into sudden laughter.

"You’re crazy, why are you laughing all of a sudden?"

Evil Moon Princess eyed the oddly behaving Qian Jun with scorn.

Qian Jun kept laughing as he explained, "Sorry, I just thought about Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, and it makes me laugh. I couldn’t believe that guy from Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart would be shy and was unwilling to follow us to Jianshui City to meet the Sect Leader, preferring to stay back at the Red Leaf Sect. Saying he wanted to catch up with an old friend. I’m amazed; where on earth would he have any friends at the Red Leaf Sect? Just thinking about it makes me laugh... shy... haha!"

Hearing this, Evil Moon Princess joined in the laughter.

Indeed.

She found it unbelievable too.

Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, bold enough to clash with Jisheng Hall’s Hall Master, grew bashful around someone he fancied.

Without witnessing it personally, who could credit such a tale?

...

While the trio and lone beast flew toward Jianshui City to confer with the Red Leaf Sect Leader, Chen Xie got instant updates from the Shadow.

Learning the Red Leaf Sect Leader lurked within the city already stunned Chen Xie.

He had detected nothing!

"This Red Leaf Sect Leader seems highly skilled, slipping past all my watchpoints to infiltrate the Red Leaf Sect. But if they've arrived, why skulk in hiding?"

Chen Xie knitted his brow, ordering the Shadow to track even tighter.

Deeper probes revealed only the Red Leaf Sect Leader had entered Jianshui City, heightening his caution.

What scheme did the Red Leaf Sect Leader pursue?

Chen Xie sent two Shadows to shadow the Red Leaf Sect Leader up close, alerted Wen Ping at once, and geared up for tomorrow's auction.

No matter the Red Leaf Sect Leader's scheme?

Her covert city entry screamed ulterior motives.

Luckily, the Shadow's nonstop surveillance eased Chen Xie's concerns.

In a flash, the day slipped by.

Auction day dawned!

Almost 400 Earth Unrestricted experts converged on the auction venue, parading in under myriad gazes before claiming seats sequentially.

An hour yet remained till the auction's start!

Chen Xie got a Shadow update right then.

Jisheng Hall's three people and four monsters were en route to the auction.

The Red Leaf Sect Leader remained concealed, yet to appear.
