System's Super Sect-Chapter 656 - 653, The Plight of the Hidden Dragon Sect

"Calm down... Hanshan, today we’re not the only four-star giant influence here; three half-step Earth Unrestricted from the Hundred Sects Alliance are present, as well as major forces from outside Heaven and Earth Lake. If we start fighting, it won’t just disgrace ourselves, but also the Hidden Dragon Sect, the Hundred Sects Alliance, and Heaven and Earth Lake."

Xiahou saw Bainian Hanshan furious, and revealed a rather smug smile.

Xia Jin died, and he was very angry.

Situ Xiuneng was killed, and he was angry too.

But now seeing Bainian Hanshan, his hundred-year-old nemesis raging, his mood brightened more than a little.

Bainian Xiang, seeing the two at each other’s throats, quickly stood up and pulled Bainian Hanshan’s sleeve, pulling him down, "Father, please sit down first. So many people are watching."

Bainian Hanshan turned his head, looked at his daughter, and suddenly felt a sense of helpless frustration.

The resources Xiahou’s children received were no more than those of Bainian Xiang, yet they were all top on the rookie list.

But his own daughter was still stuck in the Lower Profound Realm, rather mediocre.

He wanted to scold, but Bainian Hanshan knew he couldn’t just vent his emotions; it wouldn’t be good for anyone.

"Let’s see who laughs last." Bainian Hanshan left a defiant remark and obediently sat down.

"Father, don’t worry, I will give it my all!"

Bainian Xiang didn’t say much, but inside she was a bit suffocated.

But if it were before, she might feel guilty, feel bad.

But she’s different now, even though she joined the Immortal Sect not long ago, she has the Magic Broom.

When the rookie battle starts, Xia Family, just wait to be amazed!

Xiahou sneered, "Nianxiang, giving your all doesn’t mean you’ll get a good result. You can listen to what you said to your father, so you won’t regret it later. The one who laughs last won’t be you. In your Bainian family’s blade, currently Wen Meng practices the best, with the deepest attainments. But what’s the use? Her blade can’t even hurt the spirit body of our Xia family’s rookies. By the way... Wen Meng is ranked 1200 on the rookie list, the score is quite a lot."

The final sentence from Xiahou was in a sighing tone, the implication clear.

Just wants to consume the score!

Determined to beat the Bainian family!

"You..." Bainian Hanshan glared fiercely.

"Hanshan, you’re really smart, immediately guessed what I wanted to do. We are not afraid of you taking on the challenge because, whether you accept it or not, you’ll suffer greatly."

Xiahou’s smile grew even thicker.

His plan, one might say, was flawless. The Xia family’s current strongest team, three rookies ranked in the top 1000.

Using this Xia family team to challenge Wen Meng’s team, if Wen Meng accepts, she’ll definitely lose.

If they lose, points will be deducted!

If they don’t accept, while points may not be deducted, the face will be lost.

In front of all the four-star giant influences, the Hidden Dragon Sect’s face would be trampled by Xia Ji to the ground.

Bainian Hanshan suppressed his anger, then got up and left, "We’ll meet again."

Bainian Hanshan had no mind to watch the opening ceremony.

If he sat any longer, he feared he couldn’t help but beat Hanshan.

Once Bainian Hanshan left, Bainian Xiang followed and left. Just like that, the Hidden Dragon Sect people left one after another.

In the center of the square, the music and dancing continued, other places were crowded, except for a conspicuous empty spot where the Hidden Dragon Sect had been.

Of course, Bainian Hanshan wasn’t truly brainless. His departure seemed due to anger, but once back at the residence after leaving the ceremony, he gathered everyone.

Only one purpose for the gathering, to come up with a plan against Xia family’s open scheme.

Bainian Hanshan said, "Wen Meng is currently the furthest going among rookies in the Hidden Dragon Sect. The Xia family will definitely play tricks. Bu Ling, later you go warn her, no matter who challenges, do not accept. Because the Xia family might be playing tricks. The team they want to challenge, you must strictly control, ensure total victory! As long as the team match points aren’t deducted, the Xia family can’t target individual matches."

"What about Nianxiang? After all, she’s your daughter, if she..." Bu Ling didn’t dare to continue, hesitated before stating, "If Nianxiang didn’t make it far, it might damage your reputation."

"What about Nianxiang?"

"She has been staying in her room since she came back."

"Let it be embarrassing, but the same rule applies. Her team also shouldn’t accept challenges, they can only choose opponents. Points may be low, but ensure no loss." Bainian Hanshan finished and couldn’t help but sigh.

Feeling quite helpless inside.

Similarly, the Hidden Dragon Sect’s many high-ranking members couldn’t help but sigh.

Currently, the Hidden Dragon Sect indeed doesn’t have outstanding rookies. Frankly, they lack successors.

This is the most troubling issue.

Contrarily, the Xia family, even with Xia Jin dead, still has three geniuses ranking above 1000.

...

Switching to Wenping.

In the evening, he continued to accompany Huai Ye and others to practice positions, building simple rapport.

Wenping wasn’t looking for immediate perfection; he just wanted each person to remember their duties over these days.

Standing at the front, what needs doing.

In the middle, what needs to be done.

On the side, what needs to be done.

When it reached late night, Wenping let them rest, regain spirit, preparing for tomorrow’s battle.

He alone headed to the Vast Auction House. After being led by a maid to the room he previously visited, Li Bao warmly came forward, stopping a meter away from Wenping to greet him.

"Congratulations, young master!"

Wenping asked, "Congratulations? Looks like Fierce Stone sold a lot of White Crystals."

Li Bao squinted with a smile, "Thanks to your item, the Vast Auction House’s record of over 200 years was finally broken. That Fierce Stone fetched a high price of fifteen thousand White Crystals from two major forces outside Heaven and Earth Lake."

"Did my other items sell?"

Wenping, unmoved.

For he still had 19 pieces of Fierce Stone that large on him.

Plus a high-value Blood Crystal.

Of course, these items were too precious, selling them is a pity.

In other words, they’re real estate.

Appears expensive, but Wenping has no way to liquidate them.

Li Bao saw no change in Wenping’s expression, further affirming his thoughts that Wenping was of extraordinary origin.

If he struck it rich suddenly, hearing the price of over ten thousand White Crystals, he wouldn’t show such calmness.

Only those accustomed would be unaffected.

"Sold, nearly two thousand White Crystals. Altogether it comes to seventeen thousand White Crystals." Li Bao took out an ownerless Storage Ring containing White Crystals, "Do you still need Profound Level Upper Grade cultivation techniques? And Celestial Materials for making the Three-Vortex Vortex Map?"

"Yes."

Wenping nodded.

Li Bao smiled, "Also collected for you. After deducting these parts of White Crystals, the Storage Ring still holds thirteen thousand five hundred and sixty-three White Crystals. If you need verification, you can go out and find anyone attending the auction; they can tell you the price at which Profound Level Upper Grade cultivation techniques were auctioned. As for Celestial Materials, I adhered to the Hundred Sects Alliance’s market prices, absolutely not asking a penny more."

"No need, I trust you."

Wenping stored the ring, his spiritual power explored inside.

The White Crystal count was correct.

The Profound level techniques and Celestial Materials also accurate.

Then Wenping took out three thousand five hundred and sixty-three White Crystals, leaving ten thousand White Crystals in the Storage Ring.

These ten thousand White Crystals, the Profound Level Upper Grade cultivation technique, and the fully prepared Three-Vortex Vortex Map were all reserved for his father.
