System's Super Sect-Chapter 728 - 723. Most Immortal Sect disciples are proficient in this Vein Technique (Second Update)
Huaikong was somewhat skeptical if he was seeing things wrong.
How could the Sect Leader Wen of the Immortal Sect be here?
Moreover, the Great Demon carrying Wen Ping at this moment, he knew, was Black Creek, the general under the command of the Third King Shifeng. It was this demon pursuing the Fourth King Ying Zhao. Ying Zhao’s message mentioned Black Creek more than once, but hadn’t he already been slain by the expert from the Immortal Sect?
Why wasn’t he dead?
Could it be that today’s change at the Demon Ancestor Cliff also had the presence of Sect Leader Wen?
Unconsciously, Huaikong became vigilant in his heart.
And Wen Ping, upon seeing Huaikong, landed Black Creek on the ground with the mindset of meeting an old friend.
"Huaikong, long time no see."
Huaikong knew that the current Sect Leader Wen was not the Wen Ping of the past, so his attitude shifted somewhat, yet his words went straight to the point, "Sect Leader Wen, what is your purpose in coming to my Demon Race’s Inheritance Land?"
"To discuss some matters, what’s the situation now?" Wen Ping asked in return.
Huaikong involuntarily took a step back, "Sect Leader Wen knew about this early on?"
"I wouldn’t say early on." Having sensed Huaikong’s hostility, Wen Ping calmly stored Black Creek in his Storage Ring, showing off his own capabilities, "Huaikong, aren’t we friends?"
Huaikong said, "I, Huaikong, entrusted my adopted daughter to the Immortal Sect, naturally considering Sect Leader Wen as a friend, but if Sect Leader Wen wants to be an enemy of my Demon Race and do harm to us, I can only no longer recognize you as a friend."
"Rest assured, this sect leader has no intention of harming the Demon Race. I’m not in league with that Third King Shifeng either. This time, I am really here to discuss some matters with the Demon Race. Knowing that you gathered here, I just came." After speaking, Wen Ping stepped towards the main hall.
Huaikong did not stop Wen Ping because he knew that with his strength, he simply couldn’t stop Wen Ping.
Black Creek’s power comparable to the Human Race’s Silver Level Chief was like a toy in front of Wen Ping, and as a demon not fond of cultivation, what could he use to fight against Wen Ping?
"Aren’t you coming in to take a look at the situation?" Wen Ping paused.
Huaikong glanced behind him and followed.
Step by step, he ascended the floating steps, and even though Wen Ping no longer released his spiritual power, he could already sense the intensity of the ongoing battle here. Fortunately, the Secret Realm was built solidly; otherwise, these half-step Earth Unrestricted experts would have torn it apart.
As Huaikong stepped upward, he gradually couldn’t even stand steadily.
Upon reaching the entrance, he could only stand behind Wen Ping.
Wen Ping’s entry into the Secret Realm did not cause much commotion because no one could perceive his realm.
Only that elderly man with green fangs glanced at him from afar.
As Wen Ping glanced over, he couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly, but quickly shifted his gaze to Long Ye.
Long Ye was utterly at a disadvantage, no better than during the Devouring Beast battle that day, and under the Third Fury Realm of Unrivaled Killing Intent, he was continuously beaten back.
"Long Ye, is this your plan?"
Wen Ping couldn’t refrain from asking.
Long Ye was in a gritting teeth, desperate state, but upon hearing a familiar voice, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
"Save me!"
The lifesaver, Wen Ping, arrived right on time.
Upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, one of the nine heads of Li Pass turned to look at Wen Ping, furiously saying, "Another Human Race coming to die!"
But seeing Huaikong behind him, Li Pass suddenly felt puzzled.
He wouldn’t assume Huaikong colluded with the Human Race, but was curious why Huaikong followed this human into the Demon Race’s Secret Realm. It’s important to deploy the incoming Demon Race army outside.
Huaikong feared Li Pass would misunderstand and quickly explained, "This is Sect Leader Wen of the Immortal Sect, who saved the Fourth Brother."
"Today’s Demon Race affair doesn’t need his intervention, Huaikong, send him out!" Knowing he wasn’t an enemy, Li Pass was indifferent.
He just wanted to get rid of Shifeng first.
Once the Demon Race army arrived, he planned to slaughter those still fighting internally from the Human Race too.
Just after Li Pass spoke, Long Ye began shouting again, "Sect Leader Wen, I’m going to buckle under."
"I don’t do unprofitable business, so you owe me a favor."
With that, Wen Ping took out his Magic Wand.
"Hear my summon..."
The Gate of Death opened.
The world, initially engulfed in black darkness, began to swirl with death qi, with entities stealthily crossing from the Undead Hell.
Boom!
A huge body landed, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.
Long Ye was delighted.
Tian Mu’s eyes narrowed instantly, "That day’s mysterious Demon King."
Just as he was in suspense, he heard a voice from behind.
"He’s yours." Wen Ping pointed at Tian Mu.
Tian Mu immediately turned his head and saw that the one ordering the mysterious Demon King was a young man, leading him to size up Wen Ping, "So, this Demon King takes orders from you."
This mysterious Demon King left too deep of an impression on Long Ye and He Nian, and Tian Mu dared not be arrogant enough to think he could oppose it.
But now that he found its master, all was settled.
"You really love to meddle." Immediately, Tian Mu shifted his focus from Long Ye to Wen Ping at the entrance.
Just as he was about to charge at Wen Ping, the Devouring Beast had already lunged, excitedly wielding its scythe-like hands at its chest.
Boom!
Boom!
Tian Mu and Devouring Beast quickly tangled into combat.
Long Ye hurriedly took advantage of the situation to escape far and head towards Wen Ping.
He felt that nowhere was safe now except beside Wen Ping.
At that moment, Wen Ping was contemplating the demons within the Secret Realm, "The Great King, Second King, and Third King have all gathered, and the Fourth King Ying Zhao is also on Yunlan Mountain now. Though Long Ye failed his own plans, he assisted me greatly."
To make the Demon Race a vassal, one needs the legitimate approval of the Royal Family.
Now, all that’s left is to think of ways to make these proud Demon Race members nod and say, "I’m willing."
Long Ye slowly approached at this time, smiling wryly, treating Huaikong like air, saying, "Luckily you came."
Wen Ping said, "You set up such a significant game, calculating both the Human and Demon Races. The Hundred Sects Alliance, the Demon Race, were all in the palm of your hand. Why didn’t you anticipate Tian Mu?"
"It’s a long story."
Long Ye had grievances he couldn’t express.
Who would have thought that Tian Mu was not one of Prince Longyang’s people at all; he was merely a pretender!
Moreover, what shocked him even more was that the hand of the Tainting Tower had already reached into the Royal Family.
If this matter were to be reported back to the Heaven-Gazing Gorge, it would undoubtedly cause an uproar, and even Prince Longyang would likely be thoroughly investigated.
At the same time, the battle between the Devouring Beast and Tian Mu became increasingly fierce, completely overshadowing the sounds of the battle between the two thirty-meter Giant Demons, Li Pass and Shifeng.
In comparison, the conflict on Li Pass’s side seemed somewhat trivial.
"I can’t keep fighting this thing; it can regenerate even if beaten to pieces." Tian Mu immediately prepared to use the School Vein Skill again.
To capture the bandits, first capture their leader!
If he captured its master, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.
Dark Night Concealing the Heavens—
Tian Mu’s body blended into the night, causing the Devouring Beast to miss with a pounce.
When he reappeared, Tian Mu was far off in the distance.
The Devouring Beast launched a Bone Spike Cage attack directly, and just as the rising bone spikes were about to entrap Tian Mu, he disappeared again.
Exasperated by this repetitive game of cat and mouse, the Devouring Beast grew increasingly frustrated.
Meanwhile, Tian Mu was getting closer and closer to Wimping.
Huaikong saw this and hurriedly shouted, "Sect Leader Wen, he’s coming for you!"
"No problem."
Wimping immediately opened the Meridian Gate.
A gentle breeze arose, brushing against his face.
Three transparent meridian gates opened in response, causing Tian Mu to almost laugh.
Turns out, he was just in the Mountain Suppression Realm!
Long Ye saw Wimping release three meridian gates and speculated that the Demon King was Wimping’s greatest reliance, hurriedly reminding him, "He, like He Nian, has cultivated the lower-grade Earth Level Vein Skill into a Secret Technique."
"Imprisonment!" Wimping remained motionless, only parting his red lips to speak two words.
With those words!
The wind ceased!
Tian Mu’s face, filled with a ferocious killing intent, suddenly froze as he found himself unable to move.
"What is this Vein Technique!" Tian Mu panicked.
If a mere gesture could imprison his body, it was definitely no ordinary Vein Technique.
"Eat." Wimping did not answer Tian Mu’s question, only calmly uttering two words to the Devouring Beast.
The Devouring Beast was delighted, immediately unleashing its Devouring Power, swiftly enveloping Tian Mu entirely.
Tian Mu’s expression changed instantly, and even before he could utter the words "Save me," the Devouring Power exploded, turning his body into a mist of blood. Though not dead, his aura diminished instantly.
With just this attack, Tian Mu’s sorry state surpassed Long Ye’s current one; his Spirit Body was severely damaged by seventy percent. In this condition, Tian Mu couldn’t possibly release another Earth Level Secret Technique, so even if he was alive, he was no longer a match for the Devouring Beast.
The power of Wind’s Shackles also disappeared at this moment. As Wimping retracted the Meridian Gate, Tian Mu plummeted from the sky like a kite with a broken string. Upon Tian Mu’s injury, the Earth Level Vein Technique naturally collapsed on its own.
The endless night covering the Secret Realm gradually faded as daylight returned.
Long Ye looked at Tian Mu’s miserable state, secretly delighted, and couldn’t help but sing praises for Wimping. When praising, he was actually just buttering him up.
"Sect Leader Wen, that move of yours was incredible!"
While flattering, he completely forgot that Wimping’s mother was actually his sister, making Wimping technically his junior.
"It’s nothing, just some basic Vein Techniques that many Immortal Sect disciples can perform." Wimping replied indifferently.
However, Long Ye did not take Wimping’s words seriously; he assumed Wimping was merely being modest, indirectly belittling Tian Mu.
One had to admit, the earlier scene set his heart racing, especially the move that immobilized Tian Mu.
Tian Mu tried to use the darkness to approach Wimping, but ended up getting frozen into a living target. This was even more terrifying than when Wimping, with just words, made his Blood Axe come off his hand.
Huaikong was not particularly surprised by Wimping’s methods. After all, in the Immortal Sect, there were too many things to marvel at; he had long since grown accustomed to it.
He was only surprised by Wimping’s speed of growth; in such a short time, Wimping’s power had already reached the pinnacle of Heaven and Earth Lake, completely ignoring a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted expert.
Li Pass witnessed the scene and, despite saying that he didn’t need Wimping to intervene in demon matters, was still delighted to see a Human Race member fall.
"Sect Leader Wen, on behalf of the Demon Race, I thank you for your assistance."
Wimping glanced at the intense battle between Li Pass and Shifeng, saying nothing.
These two demons, whether they were foes or allies now, was unclear.
Speaking of the Devouring Beast, after hitting Tian Mu with a Devouring Power attack, it immediately pressed its advantage, unleashing its Devouring Power on the nearby Mountain Suppression experts who had come to aid Tian Mu. After a barrage of ten attacks, its power doubled.
Long Ye, seeing this, couldn’t help but laugh, "Tian Mu, it’s over."
The power-swelling Devouring Beast might have been someone Tian Mu could contend with at full strength, but now, he was destined to lose.
Ultimately, victory was theirs.
"Haha, indeed, it should end."
Contrary to expectations, Tian Mu burst into laughter, behaving quite unusually.
Long Ye remarked, "Have you gone mad?"
Tian Mu glanced at the swooping Devouring Beast and said, "Did you really think the Tainting Tower’s operation would involve just me?"
At the same moment, the elder known as Qingya, who had been standing silently by the Demon Spirit Pool, gradually stepped onto the battlefield.
With each step he took, his once subdued presence increased exponentially.
By the third step, his aura had far surpassed that of a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted expert.
Reaching the fifth step, he suddenly raised his hand, summoning an invisible giant hand that swatted the attacking Devouring Beast away.
The scene resembled swatting a fly.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Four earth-yellow meridian gates opened in succession.
