System's Super Sect Chapter 953 896: Killing Again

Having slain the bald man right on the street, Wensheng soared skyward, while dispatching a message to Chen Xie through the Sound Transmission Stone.

A mere glance at the system's succinct details allowed Wensheng to instantly identify the bald man's affiliation. He chased and killed him precisely to prevent any Meng Family members from slipping away. Since they refused to live in peace, Wensheng had no option but to deliver them an excruciating demise.

"Send someone to find the Meng Family members."

Through the Sound Transmission Stone, Chen Xie caught an unusual edge in the sect leader's voice, sensing his rage, and hastily responded, "Sect leader, give me some time."

Setting aside the Sound Transmission Stone, Chen Xie urgently began reaching out to sect members in the city. From an rundown house in the small town where Wensheng stayed, over a dozen figures rushed out right then. They scattered from beside the old house like panicked birds and beasts.

Soon after, they all regrouped behind the inn sheltering the Meng Family, achieving this in less than half a stick of incense.

"Master, the Meng Family has been found."

Over the Sound Transmission Stone, Chen Xie refused to waste a moment and promptly instructed, "Take off your upper garment, bare-chested, and stand on the street."

The man quickly stripped off his upper garment.

Chen Xie seized another Sound Transmission Stone nearby and reported, "Sect leader, the person has been found. Use spiritual power to find the man without an upper garment standing on the street. That's our man; he will lead you to where the Meng Family is staying."

"Got it."

Wensheng acknowledged briefly, then morphed into a ray of light and sped toward the spot. Pinpointing a bare-chested individual on the street via spiritual power was child's play for Wensheng. In under ten breaths, he targeted him and landed beside the man using sword control.

"Sect leader, they are inside." Spotting that the arrival was truly the Immortal Sect's Sect Leader, the man hastily dressed and bowed in dread.

Wensheng flicked his hand dismissively and stated, "You may leave."

With those words, Wensheng casually strolled into the inn. His eyes swept across every patron on the ground floor before locking onto the upper level. A maidservant had meant to approach Wensheng but recoiled upon detecting his murderous intent.

At once, Wensheng bounded up to the top floor, positioning himself before the Meng Family Patriarch's door. With a sweep of the magic wand, he flash-froze the entire chamber. Frigid cold plunged from the upper story, shocking the diners below into nearly dropping their chopsticks.

"What's going on?"

The Meng Family Patriarch's panicked shout rang out from inside the room.

Wensheng tapped the iced door lightly with his right finger, causing the wooden panel to explode into flying ice shards. Meng Qianhun, the Meng Family Patriarch, now had his legs locked in ice, flailing desperately; his face blanched deathly white, as though all blood had been sucked from his body, the moment Wensheng appeared.

"You..."

Fear choked Meng Qianhun, rendering him speechless beyond that gasp.

Yet, aware that the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking was underway with You Country's laws enforcing order, he held no real dread of repercussions.

This realization emboldened Meng Qianhun instantly; he roared with resolute qi, "You, attacking me actively, disregarding You Country's laws, disregarding Domain Lord's Mansion! I will certainly notify Jisheng Hall and Golden Water Hall, to convict you severely!"

Swishing the magic wand, Wensheng summoned an ice throne from the floor. Enthroned upon it, he stared coldly at Meng Qianhun before demanding, "Besides you, who else attacked the Yue Family people. If you don't say, this Sect Leader will surely send people to uproot the Meng Family, leaving no one alive!"

Meng Qianhun quivered at Wensheng's declaration, uncertain if from the piercing cold or the sheer terror of the words. Gulping nervously, he adamantly shook his head like a stubborn duck and insisted, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Do you know Chen Tan?"

Chen Tan is the bald man's name.

The mention of Chen Tan made Meng Qianhun grasp that the worthless traitor had indeed been nabbed by Immortal Sect and failed to flee the city. Evidently, Chen Tan had confessed all. Panic surged in Meng Qianhun's gaze.

Immortal Sect's power is great; Red Leaf Sect is unable to do anything.

How can a mere Meng Family confront them?

"If I confess honestly, can the senior spare my Meng Family a way of living?" Meng Qianhun could only cling to this desperate plea now.

"Yes." Wensheng nodded without hesitation, "Why did you attack the Yue Family folks?"

Regret filled Meng Qianhun's face as he explained, "It was all Qian Family Patriarch Qian Shanchen's scheme; the beatings were done by Fang Family Patriarch Fang Xiang. My Meng Family merely dispatched Chen Tan to pass on a message. Qian Shanchen aimed to lure out Yue Song and slay him for vengeance over the Wind and Cloud Platform's bloody grudge. Unexpectedly, you, senior, arrived at the infirmary with companions alongside Yue Song, and spotting the trouble, Qian Shanchen ordered everyone to withdraw."

"Anything more?"

Wensheng gazed at Meng Qianhun with utter disgust—truly nothing but a pack of hypocrites!

Even having reached Earth Unrestricted in cultivation, the deep-seated flaws in their nature stayed unaltered.

Meng Qianhun went on, "Black No Sect, Huo Family, Celestial Sun Sect, Tong Family—they all joined in. The promising youths slain on the Wind and Cloud Platform represented the bright futures of these factions, fueling their hatred toward Immortal Sect. Too fearful to strike at Immortal Sect directly, they settled for striking back at its disciples in kind."

Deep irritation churned in Meng Qianhun's heart right now—why had he let rashness drive him to join these fools in their folly? Reflecting on it, what benefit came from slaying a handful of Immortal Sect disciples? It might dent Immortal Sect's reputation slightly, but to what end?

Regret for that rashness!

In a grave tone, Wensheng demanded, "Is that all?"

Meng Qianhun shook his head vigorously like a rattle-drum, "That's everything, senior; every word I spoke is true without a single lie."

Wensheng rose to his feet and walked off, leaving the ice seal intact. As he stepped through the doorway, he flew forth on his sword, piercing straight through Meng Qianhun's heart—who had no chance to respond—before Punishment Fire burst out, reducing him to ashes.

Chaos had already erupted within the inn.

Diners and Meng Family members shrieked in terror, scrambling out of the inn.

Wensheng had no plans to spare the Meng Family members, so he flew on his sword once more, slaughtering those dashing from the inn and the ones cowering in rooms. By the time You Country soldiers showed up, nothing remained but an inn awash in rivers of blood and total mayhem.

Witnessing this sight, the You Country soldiers knitted their brows, a profound unease gripping them.

For the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, this marked the first such outrageous event: members of a Five-star Influence slain inside the city—27 dead in total.

Someone had truly flouted You Country's laws!

A massacre unfolded amid the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking!

In over a thousand years, the premiere case of such brazen defiance!

Golden Water Hall's Divine Inspectors arrived, and a quick probe into the incident shifted their expressions dramatically.

"Slain by sword! Immortal Sect's doing."

Golden Water Hall's folks exchanged glances, fury blazing on their faces, "Immortal Sect truly oversteps without restraint, repeatedly scorning You Country's laws and blatantly disregarding our Domain Lord's Mansion!"
