System's Super Sect Chapter 930 - 873: Ye Wuping Takes Action

"You’re rebelling!"

The instant he shifted back from water into human shape, Qian Jun yelled out loud, aiming to frighten the Sword Demon by mentioning You Country.

The Sword Demon burst out from the fray of battle too; he truly comprehended You Country's formidable strength, setting him apart from those fools who scorned it with hubris. Whoever gains a clear view of the world inevitably reveres and dreads You Country.

No way would the Sword Demon risk slaying a prodigy from You Country!

Yet the Sword Demon pressed on without pause, retorting chillingly, "Do you think you’re that significant in You Country?"

"I am a Divine General of Jisheng Hall!"

Qian Jun shot back in haste.

Hearing that, the Sword Demon shook his head with a mocking laugh, "What else do you have beyond that?"

Qian Jun stood speechless.

Indeed.

What more was there?

"But if you kill me, you’ll offend Jisheng Hall and the Domain Master." Qian Jun backed up to the Space Barrier's rim, clinging to it in fear.

Right then, the Sword Demon hoisted his Black Saber, as surging Vein Qi amassed along its sharp edge. A single stride from the Sword Demon sent shivers racing through Qian Jun's body. His meridians jolted in alarm, unleashing a Vein Technique from his grasp.

Layer after layer of waves surged up, vast and blotting out the heavens.

One wave following another, unleashing power to raze entire cities.

Still, the Sword Demon's saber sliced right through, darting effortlessly amid the endless crashing waves as if snapping dry bamboo, closing in fast on Qian Jun.

The Nine Lives Nine Deaths Bird dove in to aid, but it proved futile—merely delaying the Sword Demon briefly, failing to halt his charge.

"You’d rather play rogue here in Jianshui City than serve as a proper Divine General. No wonder someone like you doesn’t even qualify for the battlefield!" The Sword Demon's icy voice pierced the waves, filling Qian Jun with mounting terror.

"Ye Wuping!"

In that instant, Qian Jun bellowed toward the heavens.

He refused to die!

He couldn't accept dying in this place!

Yet without Ye Wuping's rescue, death was inevitable.

His cry barely faded when Ye Wuping sprang into action.

She flung open the door, transforming into a rainbow streak that blazed across Jianshui City's skies, hurtling toward the battlefield with tremendous force.

From a distance, she resembled a meteor streaking in broad daylight.

Witnessing this, Wen Ping curved his lips into a faint smile. He had foreseen Ye Wuping's inability to stay put, knowing full well she couldn't abandon her subordinates. Even if she harbored ruthless depths within, today she had no choice but to act otherwise.

The Sword Demon had purposefully let Three Extremes and the Evil Moon Princess slip away, ensuring that if Ye Wuping ignored Qian Jun—her own lackey—the tale would spread across the Red Domain via those two. Who would obey Ye Wuping's commands afterward?

"So it’s coming for me."

Wen Ping swiftly summoned the Flying Ship, sweeping his hand to encase Chen Xie and the rest at the auction house entrance, yanking them aboard in a flash to shield them from the Vein Qi shockwaves.

No sooner had they boarded the Flying Ship than Ye Wuping descended.

Boom!

Ye Wuping pointed her finger like a blade, slamming into the Flying Ship's shield. Red leaves swirled around her form in droves, battering the shield akin to a storm of Flying Swords. To onlookers afar, Wen Ping and Jinzhi Tower's folk appeared swallowed by the crimson foliage, their survival in doubt.

This sight thrilled Qian Jun.

Ye Wuping had finally struck.

To catch the thief, first catch the king!

But the very next instant shattered Qian Jun's hopes entirely. The myriad red leaves got dragged into the Vortex Map by the whirling vortex, which then collapsed into a tiny speck before detonating mid-air.

The red leaves vanished.

Ye Wuping's scheme to nab the king and nab the thieves crumbled.

Meanwhile, the Flying Ship stood unscathed, save for the deck's Vortex Cannon draining a bit of Wen Ping's White Crystals.

That was negligible.

To the current Wen Ping, firing the Vortex Cannon was but a mere trifle.

"You’ve finally arrived."

Atop the deck, Wen Ping clasped his hands behind him, eyeing the renowned Red Leaf Sect's Sect Leader nearby, his smile unwavering.

Besides Wen Ping, Chen Xie and the others steadied their breaths while staring down at Ye Wuping, the crowds in Jianshui City below, and the horde of Earth Unrestricted powerhouses.

Nobody had anticipated the Red Leaf Sect's Sect Leader hiding right in the city.

With the Red Leaf Sect Leader now clashing against the Immortal Sect Leader, a monumental showdown unseen in a century was about to erupt.

As Ye Wuping stayed mute yet refused to yield—gathering fresh hordes of red leaves toward the Flying Ship—Wen Ping drew a deep breath and warned, "It’s useless! Your attacks can’t cause any damage to the Flying Ship. In other words, unless a Celestial Unrestricted expert makes a move, under the level of Celestial Unrestricted, no one can destroy my Flying Ship."

Boom!

Ye Wuping's strike hammered the Flying Ship once more, yet it merely quivered faintly this time. Without keen observation, the shake went undetected. Chen Xie and company sighed in relief, while Shui Yue's ashen features slowly flushed with life.

Gazing upon the Flying Ship, gratitude swelled in Shui Yue's heart.

Without the Sect Leader pulling her inside, she'd have been caught in the crossfire, her odds of living slim indeed.

As her eyes drifted over the legendary Immortal Sect Leader's silhouette, Shui Yue's stare froze, her heart skipping a beat unbidden.

Just then, Ye Wuping's voice crushed her reverie.

"Will you just hide inside like a turtle? The honorable Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect!" Ye Wuping bit hard on "Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect," her voice laced with scorn.

Wen Ping grinned back, "Weren’t you hiding in Jianshui City for days as well? I thought even if Qian Jun was killed, you wouldn’t come out."

Ye Wuping growled deeply, "So you knew I was in the city all along."

Wen Ping answered, "There’s nothing that Jinzhi Tower wishes to know but cannot find out."

At those words, Ye Wuping erupted in wild laughter, declaring, "Since Jinzhi Tower knows everything, why did you still fall into my trap? From today on, your enemies will not just include the Red Leaf Sect, but also Jisheng Hall and an additional Domain Master!"

With that, Ye Wuping cackled insanely.

Though the scheme strayed a tad from her vision with some shocks along the way, it barreled toward her desired outcome.

Qian Jun’s death meant nothing!

His demise was actually preferable!

Once he perished, Jisheng Hall would mark the Immortal Sect as foes, dragging the Domain Master into wiping them out. No matter the Immortal Sect Leader's prowess as a Vortex Divine Artisan, it wouldn't save them.

For Qian Jun belonged to the regime, after all.

Slaying him amounted to outright rebellion!

A shrill wail suddenly tore across the vast sky.

It came from Qian Jun.

Ye Wuping whipped around to see Qian Jun hoisted aloft on the Sword Demon’s blade, then bisected in a swift slash.

Within mere heartbeats, Qian Jun's life ebbed away.

Right then, Wen Ping declared anew, "I never intended to offer tribute to the Domain Master, nor to submit to You Country, so how could killing one from You Country be a trap? But as for you, daring to enter Jianshui City is really like a sheep entering a tiger’s den. Do you really think that the Immortal Sect’s Upper Realm only consists of the Sword Demon?"
