System's Super Sect-Chapter 511 - 508. Combat breakthrough!

Celestial Academy.

After the battle, the plaza outside the Main Hall no longer existed, and the massive commotion had attracted the onlookers from the Outer Courtyard who had been uninvolved. However, because there was a difference between the inner and outer courtyards, they couldn’t enter to see the situation and simply gathered at the mountain pass leading to the Inner Courtyard, gazing at it intently from afar.

Furthermore, when the news of Yang Xibi’s death reached Hua Zeyu’s ears, his already weary face turned even paler, crying out when thrown into the Qu Realm: Regretful! It’s too late! Regretful! It’s too late!

As for what he regretted, everyone understood in their hearts.

To this, they could only say—had they known it would come to this, why start in the first place?

Those who had originally followed Hua Zeyu were now all restless, knowing they couldn’t escape calamity.

Ji Liangping had to give Wen Ping an explanation, and would certainly punish them.

If it weren’t for them fueling the flames, how would Shi Hua have been driven to commit suicide by jumping into the Qu Realm?

As for the punishment.

Then punish or kill!

That’s for later.

Meanwhile, Wen Ping, after dealing with Yang Xibi, had someone take the Storage Ring from him. Then his eyes went straight to the sole surviving man from the Dragon God Sect—a tall, thin man at Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm.

Wen Ping understood well, since he chose to destroy the Dragon God Sect.

A long and arduous road awaited!

The Dragon God Sect, the Iron Mountain Pavilion, were both Four-star Influences, but their power differed by more than one or two stars. Back when Iron Mountain Pavilion was destroyed by three blasts to their sect’s location, he wasn’t foolish enough to think that had erased a sect.

Destroy the sect’s location, and it can be rebuilt.

To completely destroy a sect, you must sever its arms and legs, or provoke a Demon King to launch a Beast Tide and flatten a sect overnight, just like the Kao Shan Sect of Cangwu City in the past.

However, a lake like Xuanse Lake, possessing Four-star Giant Influence, would never have a Demon King launch a Beast Tide.

It’s akin to the strongest, bravest person not daring to venture into Demon Race-occupied territory.

Just as Wen Ping looked at the man from the Dragon God Sect, before he could speak, the man bowed quickly to the ground, uttering in a voice showing obvious fear and desperate to survive.

"Sect Leader Wen... Sect Leader Wen... I, Chen Mountain, am willing to pledge allegiance to the Immortal Sect, serving for hundreds of years, working tirelessly, loyally unto death, without any disloyalty, just pleading for the Sect Leader to spare my life!"

Wen Ping walked up to him, showing a slightly meaningful smile, then said to Long Ke who was walking toward them, "Zhao Guest Minister, seal his Meridian Gates, then toss him onto the Flying Ship. We’re preparing to leave."

Long Ke responded indifferently, "A person whose courage is broken has nothing despite being at Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm."

Of course, she still acted as she spoke.

Her right hand suddenly reached out, clamping onto Chen Mountain’s left wrist like an eagle’s talons; her left hand grasped his shoulder aggressively, despite his cries of pain, she continued exerting force, ultimately resulting in two popping sounds.

Those were the sounds of Chen Mountain’s Meridian Gates being forcibly opened by Long Ke!

Before the Vein Qi could start to spread, Yang Xibi suddenly simultaneously opened three golden Meridian Gates, enveloping Chen Mountain in a surge of powerful aura, and at that moment, Chen Mountain’s two Meridian Gates began to bend.

As if caught between doors.

Like two hands squeezing them.

After three breaths, the two Meridian Gates shattered like glass, scattering a blue sparkle before disappearing.

Chen Mountain fell heavily to the ground, as if all his energy was drained, yet his face no longer showed fear—because he knew that since they chose to seal his Meridian Gates, he must be useful.

Being useful meant staying alive.

Useless meant death.

"Sealing your Meridian Gates, not cutting off your legs, you won’t stand up?" Long Ke raised a cold brow, kicking directly.

After saying that, Long Ke’s eyes abruptly froze, turning sharply toward Wen Ping’s location, where a flicker of astonishment passed through her eyes and she softly uttered, "Now only just breaking through the Divine Profound Middle Realm’s barrier!"

Usually, regardless, she could never discern Wen Ping’s Realm, always assuming he was at the Divine Profound Lower Realm due to his youth. Just after Yang Xibi was killed by him, she dared suggest it’s highly likely Wen Ping was at Half-Step Mountain Suppression.

Now Wen Ping suddenly made a breakthrough, the pulse of Meridian Gates exposed the truth; Wen Ping had always been at Divine Profound Middle Realm. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Killing Mountain Suppression while at Middle Realm, unimaginable!

At this moment, Wen Ping wore a smile, even surprised himself, amazed that post-battle he naturally reached Divine Profound Upper Realm, what initially felt like a barrier was finally breached.

He thought it would take some time.

Conservatively estimated, his power had increased by at least fifty percent compared to when he battled Yang Xibi!

This success furthered their cause for destroying the Dragon God Sect.

While pondering this, footsteps softly sounded behind him.

"Sect Leader Wen, your items."

It turned out to be the Inner Courtyard disciple who retrieved Yang Xibi’s Storage Ring, holding nine rings, besides Yang Xibi’s, the others belonged to the eight Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm experts.

Wen Ping casually asked, "What’s your name?"

"Zhuo Xing! Uh... I am a friend of Shi Hua, we used to cultivate together daily at Celestial Academy."

Zhuo Xing elated, felt as if he found treasure, forgetting when Shi Hua obtained the Purification Pool and his jealousy, and similarly forgetting he joined in the chants when forcing Shi Hua.

At this moment, he only realized the giant in his heart, Wen Ping, spoke to him, but upon seeing Ji Liangping and others approaching, he quickly withdrew from delight, knowing it wise to step back.

Though a son of the Fifth Elder, he knew where his place should be.

Tap!

Tap!

A cacophony of footsteps halted behind Wen Ping.

Ji Liangping’s voice came first, "Congratulations, Sect Leader Wen."

Ji Liangping and others should have come earlier, but sensing Wen Ping’s changes, they dared not approach until his breakthrough settled.

After Ji Liangping spoke, the others chimed in unison, "Congratulations to Sect Leader Wen for ascending to a new level of power!"

Wen Ping merely turned his head, glancing at the crowd, then looking at Ji Liangping, "Ji Dean, I’ll take Shi Hua with me. This matter isn’t your fault, you needn’t take it to heart, I won’t blame you for anything; you’ve done everything you could."

"Thank you, Sect Leader Wen, for your magnanimity!" Ji Liangping kneeled on one knee.

However, Wen Ping immediately shifted the subject, "Still, your academy needs some cleansing... Once you’re done, feel free to visit the Immortal Sect to see Shi Hua, since you’ve accepted her as a disciple, you are her master."

"Understood."

Ji Liangping nodded, his heart turning cold, realizing an inner dagger being honed.

Though he knew Wen Ping’s implicit meaning, understood Wen Ping didn’t wish to speak bluntly to spare him embarrassment, recognizing that Wen Ping acted out of nostalgia. Sadly, what good does killing those volatile followers do?

Shi Hua will never return!

His guilt toward Wen Ping,

Or toward Shi Hua,

Remained unwavering!

Seeing Ji Liangping’s nod, Wen Ping turned, looking toward the direction of the Purification Pool, then glancing at Long Ke beside him, a cold expression crossed his face as he said, "Zhao Guest Minister, let’s go. It’s time to settle accounts with the Dragon God Sect!"
