System's Super Sect-Chapter 815 - 790: If I Can’t Have It, Neither Can the Immortal Sect
Wen Ping knew that if he could track down those people’s whereabouts, he would know who first discovered Yan Sheng’s innate dual anomaly veins. It’s just that the person behind you is indeed smart.
If someone in cultivation were to monitor Yan Sheng, he would only need a glance to find out their origins.
But the other party didn’t use cultivators; instead, they used a group of ordinary people, some of whom hadn’t even reached the Body Refining Realm.
They lurked around Yan Sheng’s house and left after Wen Ping killed the Lu Family members and departed.
Fortunately, his perception could cover a wide area, otherwise, he might never have discovered them.
After leaving Baiyue City, Wen Ping flew leisurely in the sky, following Yan Sheng into the Wind Field.
Upon entering the Wind Field, Yan Sheng began to inquire from various people about the whereabouts of the token.
Yan Sheng wanted to know if anyone had discovered the token’s whereabouts by now.
However, all he received were baseless rumors. After hearing a few words, Yan Sheng realized they were false and stopped listening. After meeting a few friends from Jinmu Academy, Yan Sheng teamed up with them and continued searching forward.
At this moment, Chen Xie sent a message.
"Sect Leader, I’ve figured out their background."
"Speak."
"Most of them actually know nothing. They were merely given some White Crystal to keep an eye on Yan Sheng, noting down what he eats and drinks for three meals a day, and even when he sleeps. Based on my experience, it seems the other party is not certain that Yan Sheng has innate dual anomaly veins."
"Continue."
"Then I gave one of them some White Crystal to take me to the person who paid them. But someone suddenly jumped out to silence him, though my people captured him. According to his confession, he was hired by the Luo Family, one of the six-star influences in Baiyue City."
"The Luo Family..."
Wen Ping squinted his eyes, meaningfully glancing at Yan Sheng below.
He then took out a token and, after ending the conversation with Chen Xie, immediately used his spiritual power to send it downward.
...
Wind Field, Luo Family encampment!
Luo Shen was sitting in a tent, reviewing messages from his subordinates, hoping to find a letter about the Immortal Sacred Fire Order. However, there was nothing.
At this moment, a golden messenger falcon flew into the tent and landed on Luo Shen’s shoulder.
Luo Shen dismissed the people in the tent before taking the letter from the golden messenger falcon.
As he read the words on the paper, his face grew increasingly grim, as if he had swallowed something vile.
Clenching the paper into a ball in his hand, Luo Shen muttered in frustration, "How did the Immortal Sect’s people find out about Yan Sheng? Could they have discovered that Yan Sheng has innate dual anomaly veins?"
He had investigated Yan Sheng for a year, only discovering a few days ago that Yan Sheng had innate dual anomaly veins. These past few days, he’d been figuring out how to discreetly take Yan Sheng under his wing as his last disciple.
But he hadn’t even taken action yet, and the Immortal Sect had already gotten ahead of him.
According to the information, the young man helping Yan Sheng’s family seemed to be about twenty years old, who casually killed a Mountain Suppression Realm expert from the Lu Family.
Therefore, Luo Shen was very certain that the person must be the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect!
Why would the dignified Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect go to such a place out of kindness?
Thus, it must be because the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect knows Yan Sheng has innate dual anomaly veins.
"I should have thought of it. How could the Immortal Sect’s all-knowing building not notice?" Luo Shen was extremely annoyed.
Must this unparalleled genius with innate dual anomaly veins be handed over to the Immortal Sect?
No!
He was unwilling!
But there was nothing he could do.
After a long silence, Luo Shen steeled his heart, "If I can’t have him, then I’ll ruin him so the Immortal Sect can’t have him either!"
With that, Luo Shen left the tent and shouted, "Is Luo Kong here?"
A middle-aged man, half a step into the Earth Unrestricted, immediately rushed out of a nearby tent. His eyes were menacing, exuding a killing intent that didn’t diminish even when looking at Luo Shen.
As soon as he emerged from his tent, the people of the Luo Family nearby took two steps back.
The killing intent he exuded made people feel a chill.
Even knowing Luo Kong was one of their own, they still felt a bit apprehensive.
Luo Kong asked in a low voice, "Master, you called for me?"
"I have a task for you. Go kill Yan Sheng from Jinmu Academy. He’s just a kid in the Divine Profound Realm. After you kill him, leave Baiyue City immediately, go anywhere you want, but come back in five years."
Luo Shen entrusted this task to his most trusted senior disciple because he couldn’t ensure success with anyone else!
Luo Kong didn’t ask much; he seemed uninterested in whom he was to kill and agreed directly, "Master, do I need to bring his head back?"
Luo Shen responded, "No need, just leave Baiyue City right after killing him; don’t linger."
"Master, see you in five years."
Luo Kong turned and spoke, then left the Luo Family’s camp straight away.
He left without any hesitation as if he was already accustomed to this.
...
Meanwhile, Yan Sheng had already entered the place where Wen Ping had previously hidden the token.
The token was wrapped in Punishment Fire by Wen Ping; unless he retracted it, the fire would continually envelop the token.
In this situation, even if an Earth Unrestricted expert dared to stick his hand in, it’d certainly be lost. This guaranteed that no one but Yan Sheng could take the token.
This was a test Wen Ping devised for Yan Sheng to assess his courage.
Because cultivation itself is a path without fear, which requires courage. Yet, though Yan Sheng has the obsession to be strong, he lacks the courage and confidence to forge ahead.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that.
It’s just that while Yan Sheng could survive this way in the past, he can’t in the future.
"The lake bottom!"
"The Immortal Sacred Fire Order is at the lake bottom!"
A loose cultivator exclaimed in delight, emerging from the water and shouting to those around.
Everyone nearby was drawn to the place.
That included Yan Sheng.
As for the person who shouted, it was naturally one of Chen Xie’s people.
Within a dozen or so breaths, hundreds gathered at the lakeside.
Mountain Suppression Realm experts, too many to count with a glance.
They rushed in and swam toward the Immortal Sacred Fire Order.
However, the slower ones didn’t want anyone ahead of them.
The faster ones didn’t want anyone following them either.
Boom!
Boom!
The lake’s depths emitted endless tremors from the Meridian Gates, causing the lake’s surface to become like a furious beast.
Upon seeing this, Yan Sheng’s friends beside him sighed with a grim expression one after another.
"This is too intense."
"As expected, the Immortal Sacred Fire Order is not something we can covet."
"Let’s go, keep searching; maybe we’ll find one in an unoccupied place."
As they turned to leave, Yan Sheng stood still.
"Come on, Yan Sheng!"
"Hurry up!"
The people beside him began calling out loudly.
