System's Super Sect Chapter 958
Previously on System's Super Sect...
"Everyone, leave." Yun Shui Zai Tian showed keen insight, realizing that staying to watch longer would soon anger Hall Masters Di Chen and Jin Busan. Unlike the Immortal Sect Leader, Yun Shui Zai Tian wouldn't dare provoke the Hall Masters of Jisheng Hall or Golden Water Hall; he couldn't even fathom offending a single one.
At once, Yun Shui Zai Tian morphed into a rapid streak and vanished on the spot, leading his allied factions to depart as well.
The Yin-Yang Elders hesitated briefly before shifting their eyes away from the scene and streaking off into the distance.
With spectators departing one by one, Jin Busan's irritation slowly faded. He clapped Di Chen on the shoulder and said pointedly, "That's enough, let's wrap it up here for today. Don't let it go further."
After his words, Jin Busan looked toward Wen Ping, forced a faint smile, and added, "Sect Leader Wen, I've cleared up the misunderstanding for you. Hall Master Di has no desire to press the issue. Can we drop this today and give me, Jin Busan, some face?"
Wen Ping was ready to summon the Sword Demon and Wood Dragon via teleportation, since a fight would mean they couldn't allow those two to escape alive. Yet, unexpectedly, Jin Busan from Golden Water Hall intervened to mediate.
With the situation at this stage, Wen Ping lost all interest in prolonging the conflict.
A clash with Jisheng Hall would surely make the task impossible, causing the 5-point fame boost to vanish.
His main aim for this trip was simply to eliminate Tong family associates, serving as a warning to all factions eyeing the Immortal Sect: if disciple quarrels drew in Sect leadership, even Jisheng Hall's protection wouldn't save them from Wen Ping's blade!
Regrettably, without battling Jisheng Hall today, they couldn't claim the corpses of Yu Pass's three members.
Three black shadow tools, lost forever.
"Well, let's leave it at that." No fight meant Wen Ping had no reason to linger, especially with the teleportation array upgrade almost done.
Back at Heaven and Earth Lake, Zhetian Tower awaited his close attention, and he refused to squander more time on Jisheng Hall's drama.
With that said, Wen Ping directed his sword into a blazing streak and soared away.
Lucifer then entered the Holy Light and disappeared completely.
Di Chen could only swallow his fury in silence over Wen Ping's exit, like a mute enduring bitter herbs. Once Wen Ping was gone, Di Chen's gaze fell on the mangled remains of Yu Pass's three, his teeth nearly shattering from grinding in furious tremors.
These freshly promoted experts had fallen to an Immortal Sect powerhouse.
Jin Busan nearby offered comfort, "Calm down. You and I know how vital the Immortal Sect Leader is to the Domain Master's plans. Mere Middle Realm War Gods—three of them gone? Replacements are easy to find."
"Six!" Di Chen growled deeply.
Jin Busan smacked his forehead, "Forgot about that, my bad."
...
By the time Wen Ping sword-flew back to the medical hall, news of the incident had already swept through the city like wildfire, reaching everyone's ears within mere hours.
Waking up to the report, his father-in-law brimmed with such profound thanks that, injuries be damned, he nearly dropped to his knees. "Sect Leader Wen, the Yue Family will eternally cherish your boundless kindness!"
His father-in-law felt deeply touched.
He grew thankful for pushing Yue Song into the Master's Dao Maze despite family resistance back then.
The Immortal Sect far outshone the Red Leaf Sect in strength.
The Red Leaf Sect had only exploited them, never offering real aid to the Yue Family.
Wen Ping lifted his hand, channeling Vein Qi to steady his father-in-law, and stated, "The Sect aided not for the Yue Family's sake, but solely for Yue Song."
Wen Ping aimed to prevent the Yue Family from seeing the Immortal Sect as their backbone.
For the Immortal Sect's sole vassal remained the Lake Demon Race at Demon Emperor Lake.
Yet even after Wen Ping's words, his father-in-law kept pouring out thanks until Wen Ping endured no more and departed the medical hall.
Outside the medical hall, Wen Ping pulled Yun Liao aside and directed, "Elder Yun, starting from the second tournament round, I'm handing these disciples over to you."
"Sect Leader, are you heading back to the Sect?" Yun Liao had learned from Chen Xie about the intense clash between Zhetian Tower's powerhouses and Micro Star Rain.
Wen Ping nodded before adding, "With the Tong family punished openly today, no Earth Unrestricted should dare use sneaky tricks in the shadows anymore. If something comes up that you can't manage, reach out to the Sect via the Sound Transmission Stone—the Sect will always have your back!"
Yun Liao bowed with a resolute nod, "Sect Leader, rest easy. Your subordinate will surely guide these disciples to meet your hopes and avoid letting you down!"
Wen Ping nodded, then promptly asked the system how many Sect Task Points Yun Liao would earn for claiming first place in Red Domain as a task.
The system gave a figure—100!
"Why so few?"
Wen Ping was taken aback.
The system clarified, "First place in Red Domain comes easily to Yun Liao. The real test is first in Heaven-Gazing Gorge. Host, if you give Yun Liao that task, the Sect Task Points reward will reach 3000!"
"3000 points—that's quite lavish," Wen Ping thought to himself, then told Yun Liao, "Elder Yun, after you take Red Domain's top spot, I'll hand you a Sect task worth 3000 Sect Task Points. 2000 Sect Task Points ought to fuel your cultivation in Fa Yuan Valley and the Fifth World for quite a stretch."
The mention of 3000 Sect Task Points filled Yun Liao with such thrill that his heart nearly burst forth.
3000 Sect Task Points dedicated just to the Fifth World would allow thirty straight months of cultivation, sparing heaps of time on Sect tasks. With spiritual power at the second stage, he could dive into Tier Four magic cultivation, surging toward Earth Unrestricted's pinnacle!
"Thank you, Sect Leader." Yun Liao voiced his gratitude, feeling profoundly honored and moved.
Wen Ping smiled contentedly, holding back task details from Yun Liao for now. He first escorted the disciples to their quarters and tasked Yun Liao with handing out Mirror-Breaking Pills, targeting Mountain Suppression Lower Realm for all before the tournament's second round.
The tournament split into five-person teams, 80 participants making 16 groups. Yet Yun Liao faced a shortage.
Still, the second round demanded five-member teams for battles.
Wen Ping remained unconcerned; after setting up and triggering the teleportation array, it whisked him straight back to Immortal Sect.
With Wen Ping gone, Yun Liao eyed Heaven-Defying Sect and enlisted Chen Xie's aid to summon its Sect Leader, Wan Changqing.
Back at Star Sword Mountain, Yun Liao had crossed paths with Heaven-Defying Sect's Sect Leader multiple times and exchanged words, forging a connection.
Yun Liao now aimed to recruit a handful of Heaven-Defying Sect disciples to sail through the tournament's second round, aiding this driven Sect Leader. Naturally, his core motive was to gauge his own strength.
When Jin Zhi's Tower members delivered Wan Changqing to Immortal Sect's lodging, Yun Liao outlined his plan. Wan Changqing and Hao Qing reacted with shock and joy, "Elder Yun, just wait here—we'll grab the disciples at once."
Wan Changqing and Hao Qing had originally sent disciples to the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking for experience, confident they could clear the second round. Yun Liao's offer to bolster Heaven-Defying Sect left Wan Changqing and Hao Qing beaming ear to ear.
That very night, they dispatched the disciples to Yun Liao. These four boasted Divine Profound Upper Realm strength. In Heaven and Earth Lake, they'd rank as prime geniuses, but in Heaven-Gazing Gorge, merely above average—the second round marking their ceiling.
