System's Super Sect
Chapter 954 - 897: Rules Are Meant to Restrain the Weak
"Since the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking came into existence until today, for hundreds of years, no one has ever killed in the street during the ranking."
"That Immortal Sect leader flies very fast; we can't keep up with him at all. What should we do now?"
"If we don't catch him, many forces in the Red Domain might mock our Golden Water Hall; but if we do manage to catch him and the people of the Immortal Sect, it'll surely spiral out of control. After all, the identity of the Immortal Sect leader is far from simple."
Several Divine Inspectors exchanged glances, their anger impotent, unsure what action to take, even not knowing what to do at all for the moment.
"Let's report to the Hall Master."
"That's all we can do."
...
Golden Water Building.
Outside the building stood Evil City and many Divine Inspectors from the Golden Water Hall, while inside was the Golden Water Hall Master—Jin Busan.
Like Di Chen, the Hall Master of Jisheng Hall, Jin Busan is an existence of the Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm, though one often acts in the open, while the other operates in the shadows.
Openly, it's Di Chen managing all the forces in the Red Domain.
In the shadows, it's Jin Busan executing anyone who defies the Domain Master.
Evil City, his face full of worry, said, "Hall Master, that Immortal Sect leader has already killed 28 people. Among the Meng family members in the city, none remain alive!"
A quiet voice drifted from within the building, seemingly indifferent, "So what?"
Evil City curiously asked, "Hall Master, how do you think we should handle this?"
"Didn't he leave a message for you? The people you can't find, he'll kill himself. Since they're destined to die, why bother about who kills them?" Jin Busan within was quite nonchalant, and after saying this, he took a sip of fine wine.
Evil City was stunned, not anticipating that the Hall Master would choose to indulge the Immortal Sect leader, leaving him momentarily speechless.
It seemed to him, that if they tolerated this, then how could the Golden Water Hall maintain its dignity?
Jin Busan seemingly aware of Evil City's inner thoughts, patiently explained, "The Immortal Sect leader is someone the Domain Master wants, and will be one of us in the future. Since we're all on the same side, why worry about these things? So-called rules are merely restrictions for the weak. Evil City, this truth should have dawned long ago, why are you suddenly confused today?"
Evil City suddenly realized, the Hall Master's words repeatedly echoing in his mind.
Rules, after all, are only devices to restrain the weak.
Evil City and the many Divine Inspectors exchanged glances, quickly bowing in farewell, knowing what had to be done, they no longer wished to disturb the Hall Master's peace.
Having walked a few steps away from the Golden Water Building, someone came running from within rapidly.
"Dear Divine Inspectors, another death has occurred. Qian Shanchen, the Patriarch of the Qian Family, along with all Qian Family members, have perished."
Evil City and the others' expressions changed, "Who did it?"
"The Immortal Sect leader!"
"Again—"
Evil City and the others were taken aback, about to express anger, but recalling the Hall Master's attitude and words, they immediately abandoned that thought.
"Let them be blamed for bringing this upon themselves; losing at Wind and Cloud Platform and then foolishly thinking of revenge, now they reap what they've sown."
...
Meanwhile, Wenping once again sought out Black Gate Sect.
Apart from Black Gate Sect, there were the Huo Family, Celestial Sun Sect, and Tong Family, none of whom Wenping intended to spare.
After wiping out the people of Black Gate Sect, Wenping headed towards the Huo Family, coincidentally running into the fleeing Huo Family members.
After handling them, Wenping received news that members of the Celestial Sun Sect and Tong Family had already escaped to Jisheng Hall.
They all regarded Jisheng Hall as their last straw of hope, believing that Wenping dared not enter Jisheng Hall's territory. Yet they were wrong; Wenping had no plans to spare them and had never submitted to Jisheng Hall or the Domain Lord's Mansion.
Upon receiving Chen Xie's message, Wenping immediately controlled his sword to rush to the residence of Jisheng Hall.
At the same time, everyone knew of the massacre the Immortal Sect leader was executing, and also knew the Celestial Sun Sect and Tong Family members were at Jisheng Hall's residence. Just when they thought it was all about to end, they saw Wenping heading there by sword.
Suddenly, the matter spread swiftly.
Red Leaf Sect was the first to learn of this event, followed swiftly by the Yin Yang Family and Xuanting Pavilion who also received the news, all rushing to Jisheng Hall's residence.
Meanwhile, in the sky over the city, three figures silently met, and then all stopped.
The three appeared simultaneously.
One person exuded elegance in every move, stopping afterwards to stand with arms folded, smiling at the two elders in front. Yet behind that smile lay no goodwill, only hidden deeply, perceptible only to the discerning eye.
This person was none other than the Pavilion Master of Xuan Court Pavilion—Clouds in the Sky!
He gazed upon the two elders, the Yin and Yang Elders of the Yangyang Family—Nai Hun and Nai Qing!
One elder wore white, the other donned black, their expressions one of anger, the other of joy. Anger belonged to Nai Hun, joy to Nai Qing. The angrier elder glared malevolently at Clouds in the Sky, while the joyous elder seemed like a congenial gentleman, exceedingly affable.
Three figures standing atop the Red Domain, meeting for the first time merely to watch the spectacle.
Clouds in the Sky asked with a smile, "The two elders are also interested in watching some excitement?"
Nai Qing, with an expression of anticipation, said, "That Immortal Sect leader openly defied the laws of You Country; though not fatal, at most he'll be reprimanded by the Domain Master later, but now those he wants to kill have taken refuge at Jisheng Hall. We're curious to see how the Immortal Sect leader will handle this situation."
The two exchanged a glance, their anticipation even more intense.
After all these years, never during the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking has such an entity like the Immortal Sect existed. Disciples massacre during the competition, then the Sect Leader engages in slaughter after the tournament, swiftly reducing three Five-star Influences to insignificance.
Clouds in the Sky inquired, "Join us?"
"How about it?" Nai Qing glanced at Nai Hun beside him.
Nai Hun, with an expression of anger, replied impatiently, "If he wants to go together, then go together, why say so much?"
Upon finishing, the three turned into a streak of light and flew out of the city.
Meanwhile, Wenping had already arrived outside Jisheng Hall's residence. The Celestial Sun Sect leader and Tong Family Patriarch, hiding inside, immediately noticed Wenping in the sky, shivered and took a step back in fear.
He's really here!
"What do we do now?"
The Celestial Sun Sect leader looked extremely distressed, standing helplessly on the spot.
"Take heart, this is Jisheng Hall."
But the Tong Family Patriarch was reassuring himself, seeing the Celestial Sun Sect leader in panic, hastily comforting him, "Don't worry, this is Jisheng Hall's territory, with the Jisheng Hall Master here, the Immortal Sect leader certainly won't dare to touch you and me."
"But the matter has already been exposed; even if we escape this disaster today, the future won't bode well." This was the Celestial Sun Sect leader's biggest concern, knowing that even the Red Leaf Sect leader fell at the hands of the Immortal Sect's strength, let alone themselves?
"Just survive today; future days will have the Leaf Sect leader to back us. The Leaf Sect leader is about to reach the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted Realm, then it'll be the Immortal Sect's turn to fear." The Tong Family Patriarch revealed a resolute expression.
