System's Super Sect Chapter 996 928: Wen Ping Takes Action (5,000 Words)_3

There's no way anything unexpected will happen!

Wen Ping didn't wish to elaborate further. In contrast to Yang Lele and the others, the Sword Demon required no meticulous guidance from him.

The Sword Demon possessed his own thoughts and a will of his own.

Consequently, the Sword Demon understood precisely what actions he needed to take.

By the time Wen Ping concluded his speech, Dark Stream Annihilation had already plunged into Celestial Traveler's Fire Dance·Pingyang Realm.

A figure clad in black weaved through the inferno; no matter how fiercely the pillars of fire roared and erupted, they were utterly incapable of harming Dark Stream Annihilation.

This intrinsic quality was precisely what made Dark Stream Annihilation so unique.

As long as he refrained from launching an offensive, he could continuously phase through any obstruction without sustaining any damage.

"Sect Leader, what is this...?"

"It appears to be completely unfazed by Celestial Traveler's Vein Technique."

Huaikong and the others observed this spectacle, their hearts filled with endless admiration.

It dawned on them.

It wasn't that Celestial Traveler was overpoweringly strong.

Rather, it was a matter of their own inadequacy.

The entities standing by the Sect Leader's side were truly formidable!

Simultaneously, as Celestial Traveler witnessed Dark Stream Annihilation disregard his Pingyang Heaven and relentlessly advance towards him, his mind went completely blank.

What in the blazes is this entity?

It is utterly impervious to attacks!

So this is the caliber of expert within the Immortal Sect?

It turns out the Sword Demon wasn't even the most powerful individual in the Immortal Sect!

Upon this sudden realization, Celestial Traveler immediately relinquished any notion of continuing the fight, as reinforcements would still require another fifteen minutes to arrive.

However, he could not sustain Pingyang Heaven for much longer after unleashing it.

Let alone the fact that Pingyang Heaven was utterly ineffective against the opponent, he lacked even the basic ability to stall for time.

Retreat!

Fire Dance·Pingyang Heaven promptly dissipated.

Celestial Traveler spun around to flee, but at the precise instant he turned, Dark Stream Annihilation opened his eyes.

Abyssal Gaze!

This was one of Dark Stream Annihilation's formidable Skills.

The moment Dark Stream Annihilation unfurled his gaze, anyone caught within its sight would find themselves ensnared by the abyss, their reaction speed drastically reduced by half.

Escape?

There was absolutely no possibility of evasion.

...

Concurrently, Wen Ping had already lost all interest in observing the unfolding battle.

He retrieved the Storage Ring brimming with Demon Pills, passed it to Huaikong who stood beside him, and then articulated, "Within lies a Half-Step Demon Ancestor's Demon Pill. Refinin1ng it will enable you to augment your Cultivation by at least a hundred to two hundred years. There are also myriad ordinary Demon Pills, more than sufficient to nurture over a dozen Demon Gods, propelling the Demon Race to further advancements. Ultimately, the decision of whom to bestow these Demon Pills upon rests with you."

Although the Demon Race functioned as a subordinate faction, Wen Ping possessed no inclination to micromanage their affairs.

Delegating such minor matters to Huaikong was perfectly adequate.

"My profound gratitude, Sect Leader."

Huaikong was once again overcome with immense joy.

With these Demon Pills, not only could the Demon Race's might ascend a notch, but it could achieve a transformative leap.

Taking himself as an example: if he were to gain an additional century or two of Cultivation...

He might very well be capable of challenging a Demon Ancestor!

By that juncture, individuals like Celestial Traveler, as encountered today, would be utterly beneath his consideration.

Having entrusted the Demon Pills, Wen Ping turned his attention to He Nian, who stood nearby, and then instructed, "Elder He, following the conclusion of this conflict, you are to seek out Pei Wu of the Scattered People Post and convey to her the directives of this Sect Leader."

"Sect Leader, please proceed." A flicker of doubt began to stir within He Nian's heart.

The Sect Leader's intended dealings with the Scattered People Post were precisely what piqued his curiosity the most.

Were he in the Sect Leader's position, he would have frankly severed all ties with the Scattered People Post with utmost expediency.

The fundamental reason being the Scattered People Post's pronounced feebleness.

In essence, this presented a favorable development for the Scattered People Post.

Wen Ping deliberated briefly before stating, "Inform them to withdraw."

Following Celestial Traveler's demise, Zhetian Tower would inevitably regroup and potentially establish a new theater of operations at Heaven and Earth Lake.

This outcome was entirely predictable.

Consequently, Heaven and Earth Lake might soon find itself engulfed in the ravages of war.

The Demon Race would shoulder the primary responsibility of confronting Zhetian Tower. Wen Ping's initial intention for the Scattered People Post to assume control of Heaven and Earth Lake was consequently rendered unachievable.

With Zhetian Tower's all-encompassing influence extending into Heaven and Earth Lake, the Scattered People Post appeared utterly insignificant.

Even the slightest misstep could lead to the complete annihilation of the Scattered People Post.

Therefore, the Demon Race was now tasked with supplanting the Scattered People Post—not only to serve as the vanguard against Zhetian Tower but also to secure dominion over Heaven and Earth Lake.

To seize control of Heaven and Earth Lake.

The Immortal Sect's stronghold, Heaven and Earth Lake, absolutely could not be defiled by Zhetian Tower. Otherwise, they would all end up like Celestial Traveler, who arrogantly treated Heaven and Earth Lake as Zhetian Tower's domain.

"Sect Leader, I will relay your message later. I am confident that Alliance Leader Pei will understand your intentions," He Nian nodded.

After issuing these instructions, Wen Ping immediately departed the sky and was directly transported back to the Sect via the Teleportation Array.

Having been struck by Abyssal Gaze, Celestial Traveler's speed in reacting was immediately cut in half.

His demise at the hands of Dark Stream Annihilation was now a foregone conclusion.

Celestial Traveler was certainly no Qiongqi.

If Dark Stream Annihilation decided to end his life, it would be an effortless task.

Regarding the other two Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts Weisheng Xingyu had mentioned, Wen Ping had already been informed that they remained within the Hundred Sects Alliance's territory.

He felt certain that Celestial Traveler's death would instill fear in them.

It was highly probable that neither of them would make a move for the time being.

The reason for Wen Ping's hasty return was that Weisheng Xingyu had apparently acquired something valuable within the Final Forbidden Area.

...

Bright Mirror Lake.

The moment Celestial Traveler's chest was impaled by Dark Stream Annihilation's scythe, it became apparent to all that the battle had reached a temporary conclusion.

The Immortal Sect had achieved a monumental victory in this engagement!

Zhetian Tower had suffered the loss of numerous Earth Unrestricted Experts, in addition to one top-tier Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted expert.

Following the cessation of hostilities, Huaikong and his associates commenced the crucial task of repairing Heaven and Earth Lake's Space Barrier.

Meanwhile, He Nian sought out Pei Wu, who was recuperating within her tent.

Upon observing He Nian's entrance into the command tent, Pei Wu promptly rose to her feet, prepared to offer a salute, but was preempted by a single statement from He Nian.

"Pei Wu, the Sect Leader has issued an order."

Pei Wu froze momentarily, then detached herself from the maid's supportive hand and immediately knelt on the ground.

Inside the tent, the high-ranking officials of the Scattered People Post also knelt in unison.

An edict from the Immortal Sect's Sect Leader was naturally regarded as a divine commandment!

He Nian proceeded, "The Sect Leader commands you to make a strategic withdrawal."

Upon hearing this, Pei Wu and the others were visibly stunned.

However, they dared not defy the order, and could only express their assent with a series of kowtows.

Observing Pei Wu's somewhat disheartened demeanor, He Nian offered an explanation, "Alliance Leader Pei, do you comprehend the nature of the impending conflict at Heaven and Earth Lake?"

Pei Wu, looking perplexed, replied, "I implore Elder He to enlighten me."

He Nian's gaze swept across the assembled individuals before he spoke, "In the war that is poised to erupt at Heaven and Earth Lake, even experts at the Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm and Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted levels will no longer represent the apex of combat power. You are outmatched even by a mere Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm cultivator; how do you believe you can contribute to such a war? How will you ensure your survival? The Sect Leader, in his benevolence, does not wish to witness your annihilation at the hands of Zhetian Tower, hence his command for your withdrawal back to your own territories. Once this conflict concludes, and the Hundred Sects Alliance and Zhetian Tower cease to exist, a new path forward will undoubtedly be revealed to you."
