System's Super Sect-Chapter 531 - 528, Add Fuel to the Fire

"What is this?"

Wen Ping glanced at Chen Da who hurriedly stood up beside him, a few responses flashed through his mind, but after careful consideration, he chose a very casual response.

"It’s someone I saved on the road, insisted on repaying me, so I decided to freeload for a few days. Since you’re here, feel free to order anything, I’m not paying anyway."

After speaking, Wen Ping gave a smug smile.

But the more things seemed normal, the more Long Ke felt something was off.

Of course, this abnormality wasn’t about Wen Ping freeloading. Given Wen Ping’s practice of charging for everything in the sect, the possibility of him choosing to freeload to avoid spending is high!

The strange part was why Wen Ping would help someone in distress.

Wen Ping shouldn’t be this kind of person!

"Saving someone? That’s abnormal!"

After squinting at Wen Ping for a few moments, Long Ke put away her curiosity—she had a purpose for finding Wen Ping at this time, otherwise, she would have just spent more time playing in Celestial Industry City.

"Would you prefer a private place or talk here?"

She wasn’t afraid of being overheard but considering that Wen Ping might worry about this point.

Upon hearing Long Ke’s inquiry, Wen Ping suddenly understood and roughly guessed what Long Ke wanted to say, "Let’s find a secluded place."

Without waiting for Wen Ping to call for a private room, Chen Da was quick to call over the attendant, giving money for a quiet room.

"Upstairs, please!"

The attendant counted the gold coins in hand, cheerfully beckoned them, and walked quickly towards the stairs, opening up the most secluded private room at Wen Ping’s request.

In the private room, Long Ke closed the door and spoke, "Sect Leader, news about the Dragon Pond Secret Realm and Kun Hall has started spreading on the other side of Celestial Industry City. The speed is incredibly fast; initially, only a few people mentioned it, but in less than half a day, half of the city’s population is discussing it. Even when I occasionally use Sword Control near Dragon God Sect’s disciples, they’re secretly talking about it with great worry in their words."

"Efficient! Since it’s spreading in the city, the other forces at Xuanse Lake should receive the news within today. Most sects would love to see trouble for a giant influence."

Long Ke responded, "However, Dragon God Sect wants to suppress this news. They’ve already started posting notices claiming that it’s a rumor, deliberately spread by Chen Mountain! Many believe it. Should we find a way to fan the flames?"

If this matter is covered up, Wen Ping won’t achieve the desired effect in a short period.

What if Dragon God Sect finds a way to solve the internal chaos during this time?

No one can be sure.

Better safe than sorry.

Long Ke was a bit anxious, but Wen Ping was calm and replied without haste, "No need. I anticipated they’d do this, which is why I destroyed Kun Hall, ensuring the Dragon God Sect’s disciples and middle-tier members absolutely believe the fact that the Dragon Pond Secret Realm is destroyed. Even if they clarify now and suppress the news, internally, there’s already chaos. Someone from Dragon God Sect will certainly stand out to tell everyone the truth. The initial statements might not overturn the Dragon God Sect’s ’clarification’; it may not drive those who suddenly calmed down to go crazy again, but once such talks increase, Dragon God Sect wouldn’t be able to do anything regardless of how eloquent they are."

Seeing Wen Ping’s confident demeanor, Long Ke pursed her lips, somewhat disappointed, "You already anticipated it, I came back specifically to tell you the news, hoping we could solve it together..."

"No! Your return with the news is still valuable, and adding fuel to the fire is indeed necessary."

With Wen Ping’s words, Long Ke’s expression gradually revealed a hint of a smile.

Nothing is more disappointing than being useless.

Long Ke asked excitedly, "How should we add fire then?"

Wen Ping said, "I’ve learned over the past few days in the inn that Dragon God Sect has some businesses and a base in Celestial Industry City. Tonight, go attack Dragon God Sect’s shops and base in the city!"

"You want to show the whole city that someone is targeting Dragon God Sect?"

"Exactly, quite clever."

"That’s right!"

Long Ke raised her eyebrows proudly.

...

During the dead of night, outside Celestial Industry City’s base.

A group of Divine Profound Realm Lower Realm experts wearing Dragon God Sect uniforms lined up outside the base, patrolling.

Honestly, the presence of Dragon God Sect meant there was no so-called Three-star Giant Influence; such a patrol lineup could only be seen from the Hundred Sects Alliance in Celestial Industry City.

The group walked on the brightly lit streets, chest held high, accepting respectful glances from passersby.

Powerful individuals are inherently revered.

A team of powerful individuals attracts even more attention.

Especially from women!

Passersby would gawk at them like infatuated fans.

"Old Six, did you see that woman in red earlier? She was staring at me; her eyes almost popped out."

"Pretty nice, but not as big-chested as the one I slept with last night. Haha!"

The two laughed lasciviously.

Suddenly, everyone around them collapsed with a thud, blood slowly leaking from beneath their bodies like water overflowing from a basin.

"Who’s there!"

The two were shocked, immediately trying to open their Meridian Gate, but a crimson chain suddenly bound them.

With the chain locked and tugged!

They didn’t even have time to scream, turning directly into black ashes.

...

The next morning.

The shopkeepers on both sides of the street opened their doors to start a day’s business under the morning light.

A sudden scream was heard!

Aah—

All are dead—

All are dead—

A maidservant ran out from the Dragon God Sect’s base in the city, her face pale.

The crowd hurriedly went over, swarming in like bees.

Upon entering, everyone was stunned!

Just at the entrance, there lay seven or eight bodies, blood already soaking the earth beneath them, with the surrounding air filled with a bloody odor.

Further inside, bodies lay scattered along paths and in rooms.

Adding them up, there must have been around twenty to thirty people, all Dragon God Sect’s Divine Profound Realm cultivators—seen by everyone while patrolling outside the base!

"Who would dare to kill even Dragon God Sect’s people!"

"So many dead, this matter can’t be small. The whole of Celestial Industry City might be turned upside down by Dragon God Sect!"

Some were curious, some were worried, and then another sound emerged, grabbing everyone’s attention.

"You guys still don’t know? Dragon God Sect is in trouble; their Dragon Pond Secret Realm was destroyed, and now about eighty to ninety percent’s cultivation technique is incomplete. Moreover, someone looted more than 6000 White Crystals from Kun Hall, which was Dragon God Sect’s disciples’ cultivation resources for years."

"So this matter is almost certainly done by those people."

With the exclamations like crashing waves, the public opinion gradually surged higher and spread across the entire Celestial Industry City.
