System's Super Sect Chapter 928 - 871: Welcoming the Sect Leader (Second Update)

"Congratulations, Senior Qian Jun, on securing the Four-Vortex Vortex Map with water transformation power at the auction!" Shui Yue swiftly presented the Vortex Map using both hands, delivering it straight to Qian Jun.

Qian Jun grasped the Vortex Map in his left hand while extending a Storage Ring from his right, declaring, "Inside are no less than 500,000 White Crystals. If a few tens of thousands more exist... take them as your tip, for standing so long must have wearied your legs."

With those words, Qian Jun rose to his feet abruptly.

His earlier friendly grin vanished in an instant, giving way to a triumphant sneer that filled Shui Yue with deep unease.

"Remember... a hundredfold compensation!"

Dropping that line, Qian Jun strode from the auction house, shrugging off his coat along the way.

Numerous Earth Unrestricted powerhouses hastened after him, positioning themselves beside Qian Jun right outside the auction house.

A massive crowd had assembled beyond the auction house, all drawn to witness the spectacle.

For one, the auction's hype had built tremendous anticipation, making it a must-see event.

For another, so many prominent figures attended—ones rarely glimpsed—that everyone craved a look.

"He’s emerging!"

"Who’s that?"

"From Jisheng Hall!"

"Jisheng Hall—the Evil-Approaching Divine General!"

As the onlookers buzzed with chatter, Qian Jun positioned himself outside the auction house, roughly ripping away the old Vortex Map from his chest before fusing the new one into the Frenzy Shock Meridian Gate there.

With Vein Qi pulsing wildly, the Vortex Map’s attributes got fully devoured by the Meridian Gate.

The instant absorption completed, blue Vein Qi erupted from the structure, surging outward to blanket an area spanning a kilometer.

A full kilometer drowned in blue!

But right then, Qian Jun furrowed his brow, spinning toward Shui Yue trailing him to demand, "And? I sense no change at all."

"This..."

Shui Yue grew visibly rattled.

Something’s wrong?

This item was forged by the Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader!

Shui Yue’s distress caught the eyes of numerous Earth Unrestricted powerhouses, who watched with gleeful malice.

A hundredfold compensation!

It’s on!

Yet suddenly, Chen Xie—face concealed by a mask—emerged from the auction house, questioning as he approached, "Enjoying the show?"

Shui Yue darted ahead at once, offering a deep bow of respect: "Tower Master!"

Her shout drew every gaze to Chen Xie.

Hundreds of Earth Unrestricted powerhouses.

Endless spectators.

All eyes locked onto Chen Xie.

They had no choice; Jinzhi Tower remained shrouded in enigma.

Even more enigmatic stood its master.

Everyone yearned to behold the figure commanding the all-knowing Jinzhi Tower.

Qian Jun eyed Chen Xie, letting out a chuckle before retorting, "Finally deigning to appear?"

"The mighty Qian Jun of Jisheng Hall—planning to renege shamelessly? Haven’t you tested if the Vortex Map holds any special powers?" Chen Xie shot back.

The grin faded from Qian Jun’s face; he donned his coat once more and growled deeply, "So you claim I’m falsely accusing Jinzhi Tower?"

At his words, Evil Moon Princess and Three Extremes soared skyward, unveiling their Meridian Gates one after another.

Eight Meridian Gates!

Two overwhelming Middle Realm presences!

The display sent the crowd scrambling backward in terror.

Even the Earth Unrestricted powerhouses pulled back swiftly, dreading entanglement if combat erupted.

Only Jinzhi Tower’s members held their ground!

With Chen Xie present, fear held no sway over them!

Qian Jun intoned once more with grave menace, "I, the exalted Evil-Approaching Divine General, stoop to no cheap schemes against you. Jinzhi Tower excels at feigning righteousness! For fame, you spare no ploy!"

Qian Jun’s barrage of barbs painted him fully as the wronged party.

His accusations ignited the crowd and many Earth Unrestricted powerhouses into uproar.

"That explains it!"

"I suspected—no such Vortex Map ability exists; it’s pure hype."

"So this is Jinzhi Tower’s true face."

Amid the swelling murmurs from the crowd, Shui Yue and Chen Xie’s followers seethed with fury yet held back from retorting.

Qian Jun of Jisheng Hall lay beyond their power to challenge!

They never foresaw the mighty Evil-Approaching Divine General descending to such shameless depths.

The esteemed Divine General, shameless to the core!

Chen Xie, however, stayed utterly composed—he had predicted this ploy from Jisheng Hall all along.

Shameless antics?

Chen Xie nearly burst into laughter.

"I never imagined the grand God General of Jisheng Hall resorting to such base tactics. Glad tidings: you’ve thoroughly irked the Sect Leader!"

With that, Chen Xie produced a Sound Transmission Stone and uttered four stark words.

"Welcome the Sect Leader!"

His voice barely faded when a blinding white light plunged from above!

Boom!

White radiance crashed down from the heavens, slamming just ten zhang from Chen Xie outside the auction house.

The sudden event stunned countless onlookers, leaving them baffled.

After one breath passed, the glow dissipated, unveiling Wen Ping and Sword Demon to all eyes.

Chen Xie bowed low without delay: "Welcome the Sect Leader!"

Jinzhi Tower’s folk dropped to their knees in unison.

"Welcome the Sect Leader!"

"Welcome the Sect Leader!"

The resounding chorus jolted Jianshui City’s residents and those hundreds of Earth Unrestricted powerhouses, stealing their breath.

The fabled Immortal Sect Sect Leader!

He was here!

Before anyone could recover, Sword Demon flung open his Meridian Gate and blinked from sight.

He rematerialized high above Qian Jun and his two companions.

Sword Demon loomed icily, gripping a Black Saber.

The fearsome Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm aura bore down like an ocean wave, choking all beneath it.

"Shameless, are we?"

Wen Ping stood hands clasped behind, gazing coolly at Qian Jun.

The petrifying force from the Upper Realm powerhouse overhead forced a strained smile from Qian Jun, who steeled himself to ask, "You must be the Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader?"

Wen Ping ignored the query, countering Qian Jun coolly: "Shamelessness can prove deadly—are you sure?"

As his words ended, Sword Demon overhead intoned coldly, "Sect Leader, shall we preserve the corpse intact this time?"

Wen Ping gave a nod.

The exchange drenched Jianshui City folk in cold sweat, hearts pounding wildly.

Those vaunted Earth Unrestricted experts paled in comparison.

Truly, the Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader!

Daring to confront Jisheng Hall so boldly.

And it appeared he meant to slaughter them outright.

Ruthless!

Utterly ruthless!

Qian Jun’s face darkened noticeably, for Sword Demon’s raw killing intent chilled him to the bone.

Only facing the Hall Master had he sensed such dread before.

This Immortal Sect Upper Realm master matched the Hall Master’s caliber.

No mere Upper Realm!

Still, Qian Jun doubted the Immortal Sect would dare strike blindly.

He drew a steadying breath, regained poise, then declared, "Sect Leader Wen, we represent Jisheng Hall—and the Domain Master!"

"This Sect Leader cares not for your backing. Fail to reveal the Vortex Map’s special power today, and you perish here."

Wen Ping delivered the ultimatum with eerie calm.

To Qian Jun, it rang with peril.

Now he sensed the Immortal Sect Sect Leader spoke no jest!
