System's Super Sect-Chapter 520 - 517, Punishment Fire is useless!

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, I haven’t obtained it. Guarding the sixth scroll is a Demon King from the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression, and his bloodline is pure. I couldn’t defeat him. However, I’ve cracked all the Maze Arrays on that path. As long as the Sect Leader follows me, we can directly reach the place where the sixth scroll of ’Dragon Concealment Technique’ is hidden!"

"Elder Mei, you’ve done a great job. I will elevate you to the position of Vice Sect Leader of the Dragon God Sect, and the matter of disobedience will be considered as never having happened. Remember, this must not be known by a third person, do you understand?"

Tuo Hai’s one golden, one black eye gave Elder Mei a cold stare, as if suggesting that if a third person finds out, she will die!

Elder Mei gritted her teeth and replied decisively, "Rest assured, Sect Leader, not even the Divine Lady will hear it from me before you achieve Great Success in cultivation."

She understood well that despite being one big family, one sect,

People are selfish.

Tuo Hai has his desires, his ambitions.

Of course, there’s also another reason: the fear that this news will leak out and make the Dragon God Sect a target for all.

Even the Hundred Sects Alliance might interfere!

With treasure in hand, one is guilty without a crime!

But if this news doesn’t leak, then in decades, no one in Heaven and Earth Lake will be able to suppress Tuo Hai!

Tuo Hai nodded with satisfaction, "It’s good that you understand."

"By the way, Sect Leader, I wonder how the Divine Lady’s journey to East Lake is progressing?"

Having said all that needed saying, it was time to ask about things she was interested in, taking advantage of the Sect Leader’s good mood, ensuring to hear things Yang Xibi didn’t know.

Unexpectedly, she received such a delightful response.

"It’s still too early! According to today’s falcon messenger, they are still in Cloud Sea City, waiting to rendezvous with Yang Xibi. Rest assured Elder Mei, those items brought back are for your research, and of course, the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect, too."

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Elder Mei smiled broadly, nodding as if savoring honey, yet in the next moment her expression changed.

Hmm?

Too early?

Then why is Chen Mountain at the Dragon God Sect?

"Sect Leader, the matter hasn’t ended yet?"

"Nonsense!"

"But I just saw Chen Mountain in the Dragon Pond Secret Realm."

"Chen Mountain?"

Images of Chen Mountain flashed through Tuo Hai’s mind, suddenly feeling something amiss, yet unable to pinpoint exactly what.

Just then, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door.

Hurried!

Short!

When the footsteps stopped outside the door, a voice suddenly appeared, "Sect Leader, news from the Bright Mirror Lake has arrived; Elder Yang Xibi had an accident at Bright Mirror Lake and hasn’t emerged since entering Celestial Academy."

"Yang Xibi is dead?"

Elder Mei stood up suddenly.

Continuing, "Yang Xibi is dead, so why is his confidant appearing in the Dragon Pond Secret Realm?"

The two inside the room exchanged glances, both feeling something not quite right.

...

Outside the Dragon Pond Secret Realm.

Dealing with the minor incident of encountering the old woman, Wen Ping was unfazed. As he completed the steps, his attention was directed at the stone wall edge on the mountaintop stone platform, where Chen Mountain mentioned the Dragon Tail Bone was exposed.

Mixed with a touch of gold in the pale white, under the sunlight, it exuded a divine aura. He had anticipated that the remains of the dead True Dragon were indeed no match for the Flood Dragon beneath the dormitory area. Just as he had expected.

At this moment, Long Ke lightly sighed, "No wonder destroying the Dragon Tail Bone equals destroying the Dragon Pond Secret Realm; so that’s how it is! The entrance to the Secret Realm is the Dragon Tail Bone, once destroyed, it’s equivalent to closing the Secret Realm. To open it again would probably require the Earth Unrestricted Expert."

Why would an Earth Unrestricted Expert come to Heaven and Earth Lake?

How could they help a mere Four-star Influence?

Before Wen Ping could step forward, Long Ke suddenly furrowed his brows, showing a trace of strangeness. Wen Ping noticed this change but did not inquire further, refocusing on the Dragon Tail Bone, and stepping forward.

He intended to try with the Punishment Fire first!

At this time, Long Ke suddenly hurried to the entrance, startling the Dragon God Sect disciples about to enter the Secret Realm. Before the Dragon God Sect disciple could react, a knife suddenly pierced through his chest.

Those nearby got alarmed and immediately tried to flee but were all caught by Chen Mountain, killed one by one.

Although Chen Mountain’s Meridian Gate was sealed, his Spirit Body Realm remained. Killing in the Profound Realm was effortless. Those Dragon God Sect disciples never thought the big figure within their sect would kill such insignificant roles like them.

"Sect Leader Wen, I’ll guard the stairs!" with that said, Chen Mountain put away his knife and descended the steps, stopping after walking a dozen steps down. Any ascending were stopped by him for the blunt reason that entry was prohibited today.

Wen Ping observed Chen Mountain’s actions, but refrained from commenting, as he knew this was Chen Mountain’s method of self-preservation. In fact, it also worked well, letting the Dragon God Sect have their hands stained with their own people’s blood was preferable to him taking action.

Swoosh!

The next moment, Punishment Fire ignited in Wen Ping’s palm.

Boom!

Boom!

The Double Meridian Gate opened, turning the initially small flames of Punishment Fire into a blazing intensity, which Wen Ping flung toward the Dragon Tail Bone, enveloping it and continuing to burn.

Punishment after, burning everything!

A large hole was instantly dug out of the stone wall, and it continued to expand under the overflowing temperature of Punishment Fire, quickly reaching a width of ten meters. This was because Wen Ping concentrated the temperature of the flames; otherwise, its destructive power would be more astounding.

Punishment Fire continued to burn a dead object, and Wen Ping had not seen anything capable of withstanding it yet.

But at this moment, the system’s voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "Host, a reminder that Punishment Fire cannot destroy Dragon Bone."

Wen Ping froze for two seconds upon hearing this, his eyes fixing on the flames as he asked, "Didn’t you say Punishment Fire burns everything? How can a piece of Dragon Bone not be above everything?"

"Punishment Fire is the flame of Hell and its level is not high. Dragons are inherently sacred, and anything from Hell will be suppressed by it, so Punishment Fire is insufficient to destroy its remains."

After saying this, the system paused for two seconds, then continued, "After Hellfire is promoted twice more, then it will surely be possible."

Wen Ping asked again, "Then can I use fire spirit?"

The system responded, "With the host’s current realm, if a fire spirit is used to burn it into ashes, it would probably take two days." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Upon hearing this, Wen Ping fell silent.

Two days is too long!

The Dragon God Sect’s men would likely all be in Cangwu City by then.

Two hours, however, he could accept.

After burning for a few more breaths with Punishment Fire, seeing that the Dragon Bone showed no reaction, he helplessly closed the Meridian Gate and extinguished the Punishment Fire, thinking to himself, "Forget it, I’ll just use the Vortex Cannon."

It’s overkill, but overkill it shall be.

The unnecessary costs can be counted against the Dragon God Sect and retrieved another day.

Seeing this scene, Long Ke hurriedly asked, "Useless?"

She thought Wen Ping had absolute certainty in coming here!

"Hmm, the Dragon Bone is a little tougher than imagined."

"Let me try!"

After all, this was the secret realm of the Dragon God Sect. Time was of the essence, if it didn’t work, they would have to retreat.

She hadn’t been arrogant enough to think one person could oppose a sect.

"No need, I have another way, though its destructive power is too great."

Just as he was about to retrieve the Flying Ship from the system space, a surprising scene unfolded.

When the Punishment Fire was withdrawn, little Daguai and Xiaoguai suddenly leapt toward the Dragon Tail Bone, ignoring the White Crystal Wen Ping threw to them, and opened their mouths to bite toward the Dragon Bone permeated with golden light.

"Gluttons, did roasting it bring out fragrance?" Watching this scene, Wen Ping smiled wryly.

About to go over to pick them up, another unexpected scene occurred.

Crunch!

Crunch-crunch!

The two little creatures each bit off a piece of Dragon Bone, chewing it like White Crystal, swallowing and biting off another piece of Dragon Tail Bone.

In just a few breaths, a shallow pit was already eaten out of the Dragon Tail Bone.
