System's Super Sect-Chapter 512 - 509. Smoking is harmful!

Long Ke said coldly, "Do you want me to kick you?"

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Mountain shivered in fear, hurriedly pulling out a sword from his Storage Ring to support himself, then slowly followed behind Wen Ping and Long Ke, not daring to walk too fast, nor too slow.

Behind him, a thousand people from the Inner Courtyard of Celestial Academy bade farewell, their voices coming in like a wave. Wen Ping acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing and continued walking forward. He understood that at this moment, he couldn’t look back; turning around would completely ruin the momentum.

He was not an old man; he didn’t need to appear kind and amiable, only to command enough awe from the people of Celestial Academy.

After boarding the Flying Ship, Wen Ping first went into the cabin for a look at Shi Hua, observing her as she lay quietly on the bed, some strands of her hair strewn across her face, giving her an indescribable beauty. However, Wen Ping had no interest.

After checking her breath and finding it steady, Wen Ping left the cabin, his gaze falling on that Chen Mountain.

In dealing with the Dragon God Sect, information is very important.

This Chen Mountain, who fears death, could serve as a channel for acquiring information, but there’s just one uncertain factor. That’s whether he could be certain that everything Chen Mountain said was true.

However, to make someone tell nothing but the truth isn’t too difficult; just let him hang off a cliff, giving him only a single vine to hold onto. And make sure Chen Mountain sees that he’s standing on the cliff, ready to cut the vine at any moment.

Hoo!

When Wen Ping raised his fingertip, he conjured a small flame.

Then, Wen Ping took out a Life Cigar and lit it, slowly bringing it to Chen Mountain’s face. As he expected, Chen Mountain, upon seeing this scene, shrank back in terror, but Long Ke directly pressed him forward.

When his face drew dangerously close to the Life Cigar, Wen Ping opened his mouth and said, "Bite it, and then inhale with all your might."

"Sect Leader Wen, I’ll tell everything! I’ll say everything!" Chen Mountain closed his eyes, and after uttering these words, he immediately held his breath.

Wen Ping continued, "However, I don’t trust your words. So, I’ll have you inhale some Intestine-Burning Corpse Smoke first. Rest assured, when you inhale it, it will stay hidden in your body, only making you feel very comfortable, without a hint of pain. Just as long as it doesn’t exceed ten days, it won’t corrode your Fire-Baked Body."

Hearing this, Long Ke was momentarily stunned.

Of course, the next second, he understood, then coldly spoke, "Inhale, or I’ll throw you down now."

At first, Chen Mountain heard that Wen Ping discerned his Spirit Body of cultivation, and in his heart, he didn’t dare disbelieve that the Intestine-Burning Corpse Smoke indeed had the ability to corrode the Fire-Baked Body. Then hearing Long Ke’s threat, he finally stopped holding his breath and reluctantly accepted all of it.

Wen Ping said, "Take a big inhale!"

Chen Mountain hurriedly took a large mouthful of smoke, swallowing it down straightaway, though the sudden change scared him into a shock.

"Cough, cough!"

He began to cough violently, tears almost streaming down his face.

Chen Mountain was crying without tears, just as he thought, what poison would make someone feel very comfortable, "Sect Leader Wen, didn’t you say it wouldn’t hurt?"

Without raising his head, Wen Ping continued his act, "Hold this yourself. It’s like this at first, keep inhaling until it burns out completely. Don’t worry, every ten days, I’ll give you one to keep you alive."

After saying this, once Chen Mountain took the Life Cigar, Wen Ping stood up, leaned quietly to the side, watching Chen Mountain smoke the Life Cigar. After a while, seeing Chen Mountain gradually adapt after his first time smoking, he asked, "Feels good, doesn’t it?"

Having said that, Wen Ping showed a sinister and charming smile.

Chen Mountain nodded, internally bitter, what’s the point of it being comfortable, isn’t it still a deadly poison?

As time passed by the second, until the whole Life Cigar was smoked up, Wen Ping finally asked, "I’m not afraid to tell you; from today on, I will pay any price to wipe the Dragon God Sect from Heaven and Earth Lake. Tell me what you know."

Chen Mountain nodded and quickly said, "Sect Leader Wen, the Dragon God Sect is one of the twelve major forces at Heaven and Earth Lake, located in the Dragon Spine Range at Xuanse Lake, and it has been around for over three thousand years. Wanting to destroy it is nearly impossible."

Wen Ping replied, "Say something useful, something I don’t know."

Chen Mountain promptly said, "Actually, this time at Bright Mirror Lake, it’s not just the ten of us. There’s also our Dragon God Sect’s Divine Lady Tuo Ying, whose power reached the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression a long time ago. Plus, the Sun, Moon, and Stars Four Grand Elders of our Dragon God Sect, while their power isn’t at the Divine Lady’s level, they aren’t far behind either—they’re all powerhouses in the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression. As of today, they’re already heading to Cloud Sea City, and at the latest, they’ll arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Keep talking." Wen Ping was delighted; indeed, a bit of coercion works better, without using some means, he might not open up so much all at once.

Chen Mountain nodded, perceiving that Wen Ping’s expression didn’t show anger or intend to kill, he quickly continued, "The Divine Lady sent us to Celestial Academy originally intending to make it a vassal of ours, to help Dragon God Sect step by step control Bright Mirror Lake. After accomplishing all this, the day after tomorrow, we were supposed to meet in Cloud Sea City, then with the Divine Lady and the Sun, Moon, Stars Four Grand Elders, to attack the Immortal Sect, not just for revenge, but for more of your Vortex Map’s manufacturing skill..."

After hearing Tuo Ying’s whole plan, Wen Ping coldly smiled, then said, "Five powerhouses in the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression attacking our Immortal Sect, that’s quite a bold move. Continue, I want to hear about the Dragon God Sect."

Since they’re heading to East Lake, he had to make a trip to Xuanse Lake first and stir things up there.

Chen Mountain continued, "In the past few days, the Dragon God Sect’s Divine Lady Tuo Ying, the one who was with Elder Yang Xibi in Cloud Sea City, she’s already had people in Cangwu City investigate the Immortal Sect’s information. With that senior present at Immortal Sect, they naturally fear no top-tier forces due to their combat strength. However, your sect doesn’t have many members; to dismantle a massive force of over ten thousand people is very hard... You can only slowly weaken it. The best way to weaken it is to cut off the Dragon God Sect’s greatest reliance, causing internal discord to arise."

Wen Ping asked, "And what is the Dragon God Sect’s greatest reliance?"

Chen Mountain responded, "The Dragon Pond Secret Realm! You could say, it’s the primary reason the Dragon God Sect has prospered for generations. Cultivating within it not only gives twice the result with half the effort, but all of the Dragon God Sect’s Cultivation Techniques and Vein Techniques are comprehended within. And those techniques, displayed in the Treasure Vault outside, are mediocre and only attract the interest of Three-star Influences. So, you just need to seal it off, and I can assure you that everyone above the Divine Profound Realm will develop ulterior motives. However, how to magnify those motives into internal conflicts depends on how much you can damage the Dragon Pond Secret Realm, Sect Leader Wen."

"Are you so sure?" Wen Ping questioned back.

Chen Mountain nodded, "For sure! Because the Cultivation Techniques and Vein Techniques obtained from the Dragon Pond Secret Realm cannot be duplicated, nor can they be taught. Each technique or Vein Technique acquired is not complete, and to comprehend deeper levels, one must re-enter the Dragon Pond Secret Realm. Even Yang Xibi, at the Mountain Suppression Realm, has incomplete techniques; unless they reach that Realm, the Sect Leader won’t let them enter to comprehend deeper-level insights, including Vein Techniques. The purpose is to guarantee the Dragon God Sect’s ability to retain its members, which ironically is also its biggest flaw!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Ping’s eyes brightened.

From Chen Mountain’s description, according to his estimation, once the Dragon Beach Secret Realm was obliterated, the Dragon God Sect would surely fall into chaos. Originally planning to head to East Lake, the Divine Lady and the Sun, Moon, Stars Four Grand Elders would certainly turn back.

This could achieve a "besiege Wei to rescue Zhao" effect.

Just that even Chen Mountain finds it hard to see the problem within the Dragon God Sect. To take out that Secret Realm is absolutely not simple.

Moreover, how to reach Xuanse Lake and the Dragon Spine Range quickly is also a significant problem.

The last time he went to Xuanse Lake, it took almost half a month!

Half a month’s time, the Divine Lady Tuo Ying would have long reached the entrance of his sect. Though it’s impossible for her to attack, the City Lord of Cangwu City would surely suffer.
