System's Super Sect-Chapter 594 - 591. Life and death, choose one (1/2)

After the body trembled violently, it was no longer moving.

Situ Xiuneng, the Seven Silver Level Chief of the Hundred Sects Alliance—has officially fallen!

When the blood flowed down from the chest and drenched the knee, Long Ke pulled out the Dragon Beard, and then pushed Situ Xiuneng’s body backward, causing him to collapse in the middle of the square.

Bang!

Blood splattered everywhere.

"If you want to court death, you should at least choose a better place. Why insist on coming to the Immortal Sect to dirty our tiles?" Long Ke slowly retracted the Meridian Gate.

"Elder Zhao, well done." Looking at Situ Xiuneng’s corpse, Wenping’s face showed neither sorrow nor joy, but today his little aunt was indeed worth praising.

Without her, the Flood Dragon would have to be released.

Honestly, he really didn’t want to let the Flood Dragon out.

Because the commotion was just too great.

And he himself was a low-profile person who never liked to flaunt his strength before others or slap faces.

However, Long Ke seemed dissatisfied with this praise.

"If you give me another month, dealing with him wouldn’t be such a hassle."

In a month, I could have the Wind’s Shackles, Hurricane Skill, and Wind Attribute Anomaly Vein.

By then, I could walk anywhere within the Thousand Leaps.

He wants to trap me?

Hurricane Skill will see who dies first.

Want to run?

Wind’s Shackles will fix you in place.

Then a charged Dragon Scale Spike thrown out in the last breath of Wind’s Shackles.

In short, in another month, she would have many ways to kill Situ Xiuneng.

Hearing Long Ke’s words, Yang Lele and others immediately joined in.

"Elder Zhao is mighty!"

"Elder Zhao is mighty!"

Seeing this, Zi Ran couldn’t help but shake her head, looking at Yang Lele and others as if watching a group of mischievous children.

"Sect Leader, now how do we deal with Situ Xiuneng’s corpse?"

Situ Xiuneng’s status was evident, and his death showcased the strength of the Immortal Sect, but it also brought a strand of worry. The death of a Silver Level Chief would surely stir up a lot of trouble.

It’s certain they’d completely fall out with the Hundred Sects Alliance.

The question was, how to deal with Situ Xiuneng’s corpse to make the situation more manageable.

Wenping didn’t think much, casually responding as if he had already planned for it, "Since we’ve completely fallen out with the Hundred Sects Alliance, just go with the flow and bury him outside of Cangwu City and erect a tombstone. After killing him, it shouldn’t be in vain. Burying him outside of Cangwu City could act as a significant deterrent to outsiders, potentially reducing trouble for Cangwu City."

"But doing so could also bring catastrophe to Cangwu City." If Situ Xiuneng is buried under Cangwu City’s gate, the Hundred Sects Alliance would surely aim to flatten Cangwu City first when they find out.

Wenping responded, "Even if he’s not buried, the Hundred Sects Alliance won’t spare Cangwu City."

...

Cangwu City.

Lu Ming and the others, who had been waiting for Situ Xiuneng for more than ten days, were already anxious and restless, unable to sit still day by day.

Originally smooth wooden benches and square chairs now seemed as prickly as sitting on a bed of needles.

With Situ Xiuneng absent, they stood under a fragile wall, both frightened and anxious.

But the strict order from Situ Xiuneng to them was not to leave the inn, and anyone who left should never follow him again.

To Lu Ming, was he important to Situ Xiuneng?

No matter where he went over the years, he would always bring them with him.

But still, if he says no, then it’s no.

They finally got the chance to serve wholeheartedly by Situ Xiuneng’s side, how could they dare to give it up willingly?

Suddenly, a voice came from the second floor.

"Look quickly, the Thousand Leaping Artery Skill appeared on Yunlan Mountain—flames rushing to the sky!"

A group of people hurried upstairs to the second floor, went to the window in the guest room, and looked up at the top of Yunlan Mountain.

Indeed, a pillar of fire rose into the sky, forming a cylinder on Yunlan Mountain.

Although they couldn’t sense Situ Xiuneng’s Qi, they could judge from these pillars of fire forming a cylinder that it was released by Situ Xiuneng.

"Could Lord Situ be avenging Xia Jin up the mountain?"

"I told you, Lord Situ would never forget his grievance."

"Now the Immortal Sect is probably caught unprepared."

Everyone spoke with enthusiasm.

Seeing Situ Xiuneng’s Vein Technique, everyone felt relieved.

In the next moment, suddenly a mass of flames exploded on the top of Yunlan Mountain, dyeing the entire sky red.

The Thousand Leaping Artery Skill disappeared!

"Self-Exploding Vein Skill!"

One person couldn’t believe his own thought and voiced it out.

Lu Ming’s face, which had been full of smiles, instantly froze, replaced by a heavy seriousness, "Could it really be the Self-Exploding Vein Skill?"

He dared not think of a second possibility.

Because the second possibility was more terrifying.

That is, the Vein Technique was broken by the opponent.

If the Thousand Leaping Artery Skill was truly broken by an opponent, Situ Xiuneng might not have long to live. After all, the Thousand Leaping Artery Skill could withstand attacks from a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted expert.

"Should we go up the mountain to help?"

"Lu brother, what should we do?"

The sound of questions filled with deep unease reached Lu Ming’s ears from the crowd.

"Let’s go and see!" Lu Ming didn’t even think of Situ Xiuneng’s order anymore, it was urgent to go up and help since Situ Xiuneng was currently alone in the Immortal Sect.

The Self-Exploding Vein Skill was definitely not a good sign.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

A group of people swiftly crossed the eaves and reached the bottom of the Thousand Layers in no time.

Just as they were about to go up, someone came down.

From afar, they saw Wenping walking in the front, followed by some people.

"Is the battle over?"

Lu Ming’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster, thinking of retreating, but it seemed Wenping had also noticed them.

Sure enough, just as they were preparing to step back, Wenping’s voice came through.

"Since you’re here, don’t be in such a hurry to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wenping appeared at the foot of Yunlan Mountain.

In a breath’s time, he had crossed hundreds of steps.

"Sect Leader Wen!"

Lu Ming dared not look directly into Wenping’s eyes, hurriedly bowed in salute. Seeing Lu Ming salute, the many others in the Mountain Suppression Realm also quickly followed, bowing respectfully.

Unexpectedly, Wenping suddenly asked a question that shocked them to their core.

"Death or life, choose a path."

Lu Ming hurriedly explained, "Sect Leader Wen, we have no malicious intentions... it’s just that my master has been absent these days, and a message has already arrived above, so I wanted to go up and deliver it to you. Absolutely not out of malice!"

Lu Ming emphasized the last six words heavily.

Emphasizing that he wasn’t harboring any malice.

Wenping seemed as if he hadn’t heard the explanation, continuing to speak, "Hurry and choose, there’s no third path."

"Sect Leader Wen, we really..."

Lu Ming wanted to explain more, but the next second, he was stunned.

Zi Ran, Bainian Xiang, and others came down from the Thousand Layers, just a dozen steps away from him. Behind them, a giant red-eyed ape was holding Situ Xiuneng. At this moment, Situ Xiuneng was covered in blood, and there was no intact skin visible, all were wounds. His chest no longer rose and fell, and under their Perception, no Qi could be felt anymore.

The absence of Qi made the result crystal clear.

Situ Xiuneng was already dead.

Plop!

Lu Ming suddenly collapsed onto the ground.

Despair washed over him like a tide, leaving him without the strength to stand up again.

Only now did he understand why Wenping would ask him if he wanted to die or live.
