System's Super Sect-Chapter 710 - 705. Poaching Members of the Hundred Sects Alliance (Part 1)

Chapter 710: 705. Poaching Members of the Hundred Sects Alliance (Part 1)

The aftermath of last night’s battle continues to unfold, with most of the attention, which should belong to the Demon Slaying Competition, now focused on the ruins left by the battle.

Everyone who has seen the ruins is guessing who that mysterious formidable figure might be.

Because the people from Long Ye who came from outside Heaven and Earth Lake were considered insurmountable peaks in their minds, yet now there’s an even higher mountain before the peak.

Under the orders of the three Grand Chiefs, Chen Xie began mobilizing a vast amount of manpower to start tracking its whereabouts.

However, after sending people out, Chen Xie entered the Treasure Pavilion of the Hundred Sects Alliance and flipped through more than ten thick volumes of the "Strange Demons Chapter."

It wasn’t until dusk that Chen Xie closed the last volume of the "Strange Demons Chapter."

At this moment, he heard footsteps outside the Treasure Pavilion and a low voice cursing, "At a time like this, he’s not busy and has the leisure to come here and read books!"

Thump thump thump—

A rush of footsteps approached rapidly.

The visitor was a tall, thin man, with dissatisfied eyes, walking as if carried by the wind.

This man’s name was Bo Lian.

He is one of the seven Silver Level Chiefs.

Also, he was the one overseeing the intelligence organization of the Hundred Sects Alliance.

However, since he reached a bottleneck stage and was focused on breakthrough to Half-Step Earth Unrestricted, it was always managed by Chen Xie and several subordinate members.

Bo Lian approached Chen Xie swiftly and said coldly, "Chen Xie, do you know what time it is now?"

"I know, that’s why I came here." Chen Xie picked up a book and stood up to put it back on the shelf, "Sir, I think that the Demon King with only bones may not be from Heaven and Earth Lake. There’s no record of such a demon in the ’Strange Demons Chapter’ over the past thousand years. And it can take hundreds of years for a Demon Body to grow to such a realm, during which time it can’t possibly remain unseen. Also, if the Demon Race had it, why didn’t they break the Blood Contract agreement, retaliate against the Human Race, and reclaim their former territory? It doesn’t make sense!"

"Doesn’t make sense... haha, is this the answer you’re giving me? What I, and Wen Venerable, want is the answer to where it is in Vast City right now! It didn’t exist in Heaven and Earth Lake, so last night was a dream?" Bo Lian was extremely annoyed by Chen Xie’s persistent ’I think’ attitude.

Chen Xie quickly replied, "I have already dispatched people to search for its whereabouts in Vast City. I just think that knowing more about it would help us find it better."

"Then you don’t need to investigate anymore; I’ll hand this matter over to others! You go supervise the Demon Realm Demon Slaying Competition." Bo Lian said coldly.

Chen Xie continued, "They won’t be able to find it; the fact that the Demon King could suddenly disappear last night proves that it can hide well. We simply don’t have the ability to find a powerful Demon King that wants to remain hidden. Moreover, over at the Demon Slaying Competition, I already have people supervising it, and all the events happening to each of the prodigies entering the Demon Realm will be recorded and sent to me every day; I review them one by one at night."

"Just do what I tell you, enough of the nonsense! If you don’t want to do it, get lost!" Bo Lian said icily before hurriedly going downstairs, unwilling to say another word.

Chen Xie withdrew his gaze, emotionlessly putting each volume of "Strange Demons Chapter" back on the shelf, while a nearby servant also came to help.

Long after Bo Lian had left, the servant asked in a low voice, "Sir, aren’t we really going to investigate?"

"Investigate, why not investigate. I’ve read all the records of strange demons in these over three hundred thousand books in the Treasure Pavilion; it certainly won’t reveal anything. And in recent decades, whether in Heaven and Earth Lake, the scattered people inn, or the Demon Race Territory, there’s been no intelligence on such demonic beings appearing... An hour ago, the three Golden Level Chiefs questioned Tian Mu, commander from the side of Prince Longyang, and got no answer. If we’re going to investigate, we’ll have to change locations."

"Then I’ll continue to accompany you, sir." The servant wasn’t surprised by Chen Xie knowing what happened an hour ago, even though he had spent two hours watching Chen Xie go through the "Strange Demons Chapter."

In his view, anything Chen Xie wants to know, he would certainly know.

"But there’s no rush right now; it’s getting late, and work is never-ending. Go buy some desserts later, I’ll visit Master tonight." As he continued putting away the "Strange Demons Chapter," Chen Xie instructed.

"You’re going to visit Master Zi Ran?" The servant was a bit surprised, "Hasn’t Master Zi Ran already pledged allegiance to the Immortal Sect? The Immortal Sect killed a Silver Level Chief from the Hundred Sects Alliance; they are already mortal enemies."

"What about it, what’s that got to do with me visiting Master?"

"But some people with ulterior motives are hoping you’d leave this place, if you go now, they will definitely stir up trouble."

"Let them cause trouble then, those who are innocent remain innocent."

Chen Xie smiled indifferently.

Before the servant could continue speaking, Chen Xie added, "Do you know what Master Zi Ran means to me?"

"Like a mother?" The servant responded.

"You’ve been with me long enough, you’re not dull. Exactly, like a mother. She accompanied me growing up and taught me skills, only it’s a pity that I’m not cut out for being a Vortex Divine Artisan, so I could only tinker with small things." Chen Xie chuckled self-deprecatingly, "The last time we had a meal together was thirty years ago, since she’s about to leave Vast City, how could I not seize the time to see her?"

"Alright then, as you wish... sigh, it’s just that those who usually exclude you will start causing trouble again." The servant sighed.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot; tonight, take my Token into the Demon Realm once, and quietly kill the person supervising Immortal Sect’s Qin Mo. Since he was my person but secretly sent Qin Mo’s records from yesterday to the Xia Family, that’s betrayal." A faint hint of murderous intent flashed in Chen Xie’s eyes.

Having said that, a thought crossed Chen Xie’s mind.

Should he tell his master tonight about Immortal Sect disciple Qin Mo being forced into the perilous Mist Area?

Anyway, the master is like a mother to her, the incident with the Immortal Sect disciple shouldn’t be hidden from her.

...

Inside the inn.

Zi Ran received instructions from Wen Ping and was deciding to visit Chen Xie, assisting H Lan in recruiting Chen Xie.

But just as she was about to leave the inn, she saw H Lan standing by the inn door.

Zi Ran said, "H Lan, just right, I’ll go with you to see little Xie."

"Master, no need to go, he will definitely come. I mentioned your departure from Vast City to him the other day, and considering Chen Xie brother’s relationship with you, he will surely come to see you. When he arrives, then we discuss recruitment, the chances of success are greater. If we go door-to-door recruiting him, he’ll definitely feel the Immortal Sect can’t do without him." H Lan revealed a smile of strategic foresight.

After these words, the twilight slowly darkened.

H Lan suddenly pointed to the street, "Look, isn’t Brother Chen Xie’s chariot coming now."

H Lan smiled and instead walked inside, with no intention of welcoming.

Then seeing his master unmoving, he hurriedly invited her in.

"Master, you just wait, there’s no reason for you to greet him." H Lan quickly poured tea and handed it to Zi Ran.
