Chapter 141: Sect Leader’s Secret Order |
“I have returned, and this time, I will reclaim all the dignity I’ve lost!!”
The Xuantian Sword Sect Leader, Daoist Lingxu, said as much.
“.........”
A small town somewhere in Jiangnan.
Rain falls upon Jiangnan, and the mountains and rivers look as though painted in ink.
A female cultivator at the Golden Core Stage stood on a small boat, frowning slightly with her hand on the hilt of her sword.
“You again, you liar!!”
“Junior Sister, who is he?”
The male cultivator beside her glanced at the old man drifting across the river on a single reed.
A multicolored gauze robe fluttered in the wind, his wide sleeves rising without a breeze, white hair and youthful face, eyes sharp and bright.
“A liar! Claims he’s the Sect Leader of Mount Shushan—can you believe that?”
“Oh? Doesn’t really look like a liar.” The male cultivator asked cautiously, “Senior, are you really the Sect Leader of Mount Shushan?”
“Hehe~ Last time I was just playing a little joke on your Junior Sister. This time, I’m serious.”
Just then, two figures rushed in behind them.
The Golden Core female cultivator’s expression changed slightly, “Senior Brother, it’s bad—it’s those two Nascent Soul old devils!”
“Junior Sister, run!!”
“Trying to run? Too late now.”
Before the words even landed, the two Nascent Soul old devils had already blocked the path both in front and behind.
Two Golden Core cultivators had no chance of winning against two Nascent Soul old devils.
The male cultivator turned his gaze to Lingxu and cupped his hands respectfully.
“Senior, those two are heretic scum, taking innocent lives. If you truly are the Sect Leader of Mount Shushan, we ask that you lend a hand and save us.”
“Heh, no problem.”
Lingxu turned slightly, a confident smile appearing on his face.
Perfect timing! Absolutely perfect.
This is the feeling.
I f***ing love this feeling.
“Sect Leader of Mount Shushan!?”
The two Nascent Soul old devils were both stunned.
Out committing evil and you bump into the Sect Leader of Mount Shushan? What are the odds?
But just looking at him, full of confidence, celestial demeanor and bone-deep elegance—he really didn’t look like an ordinary man.
Lingxu smiled confidently, “You two little brats aren’t worth my personal effort. Behold my Sect Leader Sword Command!!”
Sect Leader Sword Command!?
Lingxu had recently learned the Sect Leader’s secret command from his disciple Li Xuanxiao.
“When the command is issued, armies gather at once.”
Lingxu tilted his head slightly and said in a deep voice to the Golden Core female cultivator, “Wait a moment. Someone will come to take their lives.”
The Golden Core female cultivator’s gaze shifted slightly as she looked at Lingxu in surprise.
Could it be… he really is the Sect Leader of Mount Shushan!?
“............”
“Whoosh——!!”
Sect Leader Sword Command.
A disciple rushed to report.
The Vice Sect Leader received the Sect Leader Sword Command and found a decoder to crack the Sect Leader’s secret message. After a careful read—
“Sect Leader commands, immediately relay the message to the Elder Pavilion.”
“Yes!”
The Vice Sect Leader narrowed his eyes slightly.
As expected, the Sect Leader was as reliable as ever.
The usual eating, drinking, playing around—those were just a cover!
When the Sect Leader made a move, he crushed Asura Hall.
Heavily injured Liu Qiushui, wiped out the elite of Asura Hall, and killed both Tribulation Stage Left and Right Guardians.
Now again mobilizing a full four Tribulation Stage Elders.
It was clear how significant this operation was.
The Vice Sect Leader took a deep breath.
Too powerful. This is what it means to dominate a generation.
The Vice Sect Leader slapped himself.
Feeling ashamed of all the things he’d thought about the Sect Leader before.
“Whoosh!!”
At that moment, another secret message from the Sect Leader arrived.
“Vice Sect Leader, a secret message from the Sect Leader!”
The Vice Sect Leader quickly accepted the letter.
Another one? What’s happening?
The Vice Sect Leader opened it.
Another coded message. After quickly decoding it—
【Come quickly to assist, make sure the scene is impressive!】
“Vice Sect Leader, what’s going on? Why did the Sect Leader send two secret messages at the same time?”
The Vice Sect Leader furrowed his brow too.
“And the contents are different, even the destinations aren’t the same.”
At that moment, the disciple decoding the message suddenly said, “Wait, though both messages are secret coded commands, coded messages have priority levels.
Vice Sect Leader, look, the first message has a clearly higher priority.
According to the rules, when two messages arrive simultaneously, we must first process the one with the higher priority.”
The Vice Sect Leader nodded in realization, and then set aside the second message that said to assist and make the scene grand.
“Prioritize the higher-level secret command from the Sect Leader.”
“..........”
Shangguan Suiyun wiped the tears at the corner of his eyes and said to the Deputy City Lord:
“I need to make a trip. Supreme City will be in your hands.”
The Deputy Sect Leader asked cautiously, “Honored Lord, where… where are you going?”
Shangguan Suiyun’s gaze turned deep, “I want to see the peach blossoms on Wangquan Road. What my sister said made me emotional. That’s the only place that brings back my memories.”
The Deputy Sect Leader hesitated a moment before speaking:
“Honored Lord, your secret message was sent straight to Mount Shushan.
Mount Shushan may have people with ulterior motives who saw that letter. It specifically mentioned the peach blossoms of Wangquan Road. I suspect someone is deliberately luring you there...”
“You suspect my sister!!” Shangguan Suiyun’s voice turned icy.
“No… absolutely not!” The Deputy Sect Leader quickly said, “Your sister is also my master. I wouldn’t dare question her, I’m just worried someone is pulling strings behind the scenes.”
Shangguan Suiyun flew into a rage, “The matter of Wangquan Road is known only to me and my sister.
That touching letter—besides her, who else could have written it? How would anyone else know I would go to Wangquan Road?”
At this, the aura around Shangguan Suiyun grew colder, his killing intent sharp.
“Are you trying to drive a wedge between me and my sister?”
“Your subordinate deserves death, I wouldn’t dare!”
The Deputy Sect Leader fell to his knees in fear.
No one knew why, but although Shangguan Suiyun was usually treacherous and vicious, always cautious in his actions,
he single-handedly ruled Supreme City, had been hunted by the righteous path hundreds of times and still managed to build Supreme City’s influence to what it was.
His ability and cunning were undeniable.
Yet when it came to matters involving his sister, he seemed to lose all reason.
Became a completely different person.
It was a nightmare for the Deputy Sect Leader and many others.
Still, for the future of Supreme City—
The Deputy Sect Leader could only weakly continue, “Honored Lord, you were already injured by Mount Shushan people before. To avoid any further incidents,
why not let some men scout the area around Wangquan Road first, and then send some guards to protect you.”
“Bang——!!”
Shangguan Suiyun slammed the table to pieces with a palm.
“Let guards come with me? I’m going there to feel what it’s like to be with my sister.
There’s no danger at Wangquan Road. Only she and I know it. That place holds our memories.
You keep blocking me—do you have some other agenda? Are you deliberately trying to upset me?”
The Deputy Sect Leader was on the verge of tears.
“I wouldn’t dare… I’m just worried something might happen to you… that someone might be plotting against you.
Honored Lord, have you forgotten how you were ambushed by Mount Shushan? Wasn’t it because you trusted your sister?”
The Deputy Sect Leader held back the rest of his words.
“Enough!!”
Shangguan Suiyun roared in anger.
“At the end of the day, you’re still doubting my sister, aren’t you?”
