System's Super Sect-Chapter 689 - 684. Demon Race Hatchery (Second Update)

Following a quick step to come before Wen Ping, he greeted with warm smile, "Sect Leader Wen, it’s been some time since we last met. How have you been lately?"

"Sect Leader Hanshan." Wen Ping returned the courtesy.

Bu Ling stood beside, slightly bowing to express his respect, joking, "Sect Leader Wen, my careless words from the other day, please forgive me. I shall visit to apologize another day. Speaking of Bainian Xiang, she’s really something; joining the Immortal Sect is a good thing, yet she waited so long to tell us."

"Haha."

Wen Ping responded with a laugh.

Seeing Wen Ping laugh, Bu Ling assumed past grudges were dissolved with a laugh and quickly began saying some polite remarks.

To this, Wen Ping remained silent.

Occasionally nodding in agreement.

Bu Ling, skilled in social niceties, was saying things made up on the spot, if it weren’t for the Demon Realm being unopened, Wen Ping would barely listen to this sort of talk.

...

Amidst the crowd, Wen Meng would occasionally glance at Wen Ping.

She was bewildered at the moment.

Who would have thought that the roadside bandit she once met was actually a sect leader.

Across the whole Heaven and Earth Lake, there weren’t many who could casually conversate with Bainian Hanshan and Bu Ling.

Wen Ping was indeed one among them!

Thinking back, perhaps Wen Ping was never really a bandit back then, but simply intent on clearing the road of wrongdoers.

...

Meanwhile, upon seeing Bainian Hanshan converse with Wen Ping, various forces were puzzled.

A clan leader from a Four-star Giant Influence, seeing Xiahou nearby, directly asked, "Xiahou, who are those people? Why haven’t I seen them before?"

Everyone immediately looked towards Xiahou.

As Bainian Hanshan’s mortal enemy.

He should be the most informed about Bainian Hanshan, and among those present, perhaps only Xiahou would know most clearly who they were.

Xiahou stared coldly at the person who asked him, and then coldly replied, "They’re your daddy! Hurry up and go fawn over them!"

With that said, Xiahou turned his head away, looking no more.

Being scolded like that, everyone wanted to censure Xiahou.

Suddenly, they heard a whisper, "That’s the Immortal Sect, the one Bainian Xiang joined."

"So what?"

People were somewhat perplexed.

Bainian Xiang was the legitimate heir to the sect leader’s position.

Wouldn’t Bainian Hanshan be very angry that she joined another sect?

Why then, do they appear so close with the Immortal Sect?

"You all, you’ve been so focused on yourselves these days, you’ve not heard anything. Let me tell you, the Immortal Sect’s sect leader brought some young ones here, the oldest seems just about eighteen or nineteen, with two of them only at the Lower Profound Realm, yet their ranking in the points leaderboard is over a hundred."

"Really?"

"Don’t believe me? Check the leaderboard yourself. Or ask others. The Immortal Sect’s Vein Technique, it’s extraordinary. Fire Attribute Vein Skill, used by the Lower Profound Realm but can injure the Upper Profound Realm. Also, their swordsmanship, spans a hundred yards, killing as well from there. Used by Lower Profound Realm disciples, not even Xia Family’s Barbaric Demon Spirit Body could withstand it."

"This powerful?"

Everyone was amazed, looking scornful at Wen Ping, then at Xiahou.

They understood why Xiahou "vented all over."

How could Xia Family compete with Hidden Dragon Sect in the future if Hidden Dragon Sect had such powerful friends?

But why hadn’t anyone heard of this Immortal Sect before?

Someone started to speak softly.

"Could this Immortal Sect be some secretive sect?"

"Never heard of it."

"Didn’t hear of it before this centennial event began."

Everyone chatted and expressed the same unfamiliarity.

Among them, only one appeared puzzled.

Because he seemed to have heard the name Immortal Sect before, and it was prior to this.

But suddenly trying to recall where he’d heard it.

He truly couldn’t remember for a while.

...

Time passed gradually.

By dawn, six out of the seven Silver Level Chiefs from the Hundred Sects Alliance had arrived.

Three Earth Unrestricted Experts also arrived.

Lastly, three extraordinary forces outside Heaven and Earth Lake.

Long Family!

He Mansion!

Prince Longyang!

From the Long Family came naturally Long Ye and Long Yue.

From He Family came an elder who appeared as a steward, looking kindly, his eyes always slightly narrowed.

If placed in front of any wealthy household’s mansion, no one would believe him to be a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted expert, only thinking him to be an old steward.

This was the ever-changing He Nian!

From Prince Longyang’s side came a middle-aged man in red armor, the dragon head helmet engraved with a fiery gold sun, followed by a squad of similarly armored guards.

This was Tian Mu, the commander!

All three arrived, each sitting atop a majestic Demon King from the Wing Race.

Wen Venerable first spoke, expressing a lot of praise towards Long Family, He Mansion, and Prince Longyang, emphasizing that if they perform well, they could be selected to advance at Heaven-Gazing Gorge, and likewise earn a chance for their sects to join them, regardless of the realm.

The meaning was, if disciples perform well, even sect leaders could go to Heaven-Gazing Gorge for advanced learning.

Such rewards, to the forces within Heaven and Earth Lake, were irresistibly enticing.

The limits were evident, only by connecting with forces from Heaven-Gazing Gorge and attempting to enter it could there be a chance to tread higher realms.

While these so-called big shots spoke, Wen Ping’s eyes were steadfastly fixed on the cave, extending his spiritual power within.

After the Vast Auction House incident, he fully comprehended that Half-Step Earth Unrestricted couldn’t detect the presence of spiritual power.

The spiritual power had just entered the cave when the scene ahead suddenly opened up brightly.

Sunshine and grasslands suddenly came into view.

Above, instead of dark stones, it was the sky and white clouds.

"Is this the Secret Realm?"

A question naturally arose.

It was his first time seeing such a Secret Realm.

Could the things inside the Secret Realm actually extend into this world through the Qu Realm?

The system responded, "Host, this is not a realm. Spaces where the vibration frequency of veins is warped are called realms. They are all unstable and are separated by the Qu Realm from the great world."

"Then what is this?"

"A realm! Spaces where the vibration frequency of veins is stable are called realms. They are not separated by the Qu Realm, existing within the space, and their entrances are directly connected to the great world."

"So this is a realm."

Wen Ping’s perception began to gaze, moving towards the interior of the Demon Realm.

Curious about discovering the realm for the first time, Wen Ping asked in his mind, "System, can you give me its map?"

"Sure."

With those words, a circular map appeared before his eyes.

The red dot represented Wen Ping’s location. Thousand Mechanism Lake, Black Stone Mountain.

The system’s voice continued, "This Demon Realm spans a diameter of a thousand miles. According to detection, it is a relatively low-level realm, with only a few demons surpassing the Divine Profound Realm within it."

"Isn’t this a natural hunting ground?" Wen Ping’s gaze slowly swept across other corners of the map.

As he looked, Wen Ping suddenly felt puzzled.

No, wait!

Then why, when his spiritual power had just entered it, was the demon Qi so dense?

That rich demon Qi was something he didn’t even experience when passing over Demon Emperor Lake.

The system explained, "The abundance of demon Qi is because this realm is actually a hatchery."

"A hatchery?"

"Fifty percent of the land in the Demon Realm consists of demon eggs. According to detection, once these demons hatch, they will leave through the exit."

"Exit..." Wen Ping immediately looked at the points marked by the system.

Apart from the opening outside Vast City, this Demon Realm has three other openings.

One of them is Demon Emperor Lake!

The other two...

Are also Demon Race nests!

This Demon Realm’s exit connects to three major Demon Race nests.

"It seems that the Demon Race, after being oppressed by the Human Race for so many years, has thought of some ways. In a place like Demon Emperor Lake, with so many powerful Demon Races, the survival rate is certainly low. But hatching offspring in a small world might ensure a hundred percent survival rate. No wonder the power of the Demon Race can rival the Hundred Sects Alliance without the Alliance knowing."

What a pity.

It has now been discovered by the Human Race.

But it seems that the Hundred Sects Alliance does not know this is a hatchery for the Demon Race, only seeing it as a hunting ground.

Even so, it will no longer be possible for the Demon Race to quietly hatch their offspring.

Since there are so many newly born demons, the Human Race might turn it into an industrial chain, capturing these young demons and selling them!

By then, a war between the Human and Demon Races might break out.

After all, the Hundred Sects Alliance thinks the Demon Race is still inferior to them.

But the Demon Race has actually grown very strong.

Just as Wen Ping was lost in thought, the voices of Huai Ye and others came through.

"Sect Leader, we’re going in."

Wen Ping withdrew his spiritual power, nodded as if waking from a dream, then told them, "No need to venture too deep into the Demon Realm, just kill demons on the periphery."

Qin Mo asked, "Why?"

Wen Ping replied, "No need to waste time walking."

They nodded, following the crowd slowly into the cave.

As the group headed towards the Demon Realm, Wen Ping already had the intention to leave.

The matter of the rookie ranking would be left to Huai Ye and the others.

Wen Ping had fundamental confidence in the disciples of his Sect.

What he needed to do was handle the second-tier mission.

Time was running out!

For Wen Ping still had no clue regarding the third-tier mission.

How would the Demon Race and Wanderer’s Post agree to become a vassal of the Immortal Sect?

Where was the opportunity?

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Bainian Hanshan called out to him, "Sect Leader Wen, how about we go have a drink together?"

...

In another place where the forces of the Hundred Sects Alliance were gathered, the forces of Wanderer’s Post gathered here.

The Alliance Leader of Wanderer’s Post stood prominently before everyone, standing quietly.

The Alliance Leader of Wanderer’s Post appeared to be a very refined young man, holding an iron fan, always smiling, even when meeting Wen Venerable’s gaze.

"Pei Wu, hope you’re well," Wen Venerable greeted from afar.

Though it was a greeting, there was an undertone of hostility in the words.

Pei Wu continued to smile calmly, nodding, then walked straight towards a certain location.

Behind Pei Wu, other key members of Wanderer’s Post closely followed.

A grand procession arrived, leaving the people of the Hundred Sects Alliance stunned.

Was Wanderer’s Post going to start a fight?

Here?

Everyone in the Hundred Sects Alliance faced the strong from Wanderer’s Post; some had even clenched their fists tightly.

Yet Pei Wu still walked forward smiling, looking at someone, waved his hand, and greeted with a smile, "Sect Leader Wen, hope you’ve been well."

Yes, the person he was greeting was indeed Wen Ping!
