System's Super Sect-Chapter 570 - 567. Xia Jin’s unwillingness

Luan Yue saw the two hesitating, and his face turned angry as he scolded, "If Miss and Xia Jin have a conflict, and Situ Xiuneng disregards his status to help Xia Jin take down Miss, will you be responsible for this?"

The Hidden Dragon Sect has been particularly fierce in fighting in recent years, with endless territory battles and wars of vassalage powers. Both sides have the idea of wiping out the other in one fell swoop, and large battles frequently arise. Over the past century, more than five strong practitioners of the Mountain Suppression Realm have fallen in the Death Zone due to these battlefields.

Everyone knows that if the fighting continues, the losses will increase, and more strong practitioners will die.

But no one can stop because the conflict has lasted too long. To stop, one side must admit defeat. But all are top forces among the four-star giant influences, and every move is watched by everyone at Heaven and Earth Lake; admitting defeat means losing.

For the loser, it is difficult to lift their heads in front of the victor. For a member of a top force, this is more painful than being killed.

The originally stable battle situation could destabilize if something happened to Bainian Xiang at this time, and the Sect Leader would surely panic, allowing the Xia Family to take this opportunity for a massive attack, using Bainian Xiang as a shield to achieve the results they haven’t obtained for hundreds of years.

A stable battle situation might change today.

Upon hearing Luan Yue’s low roar, Hei Yu and the others shared the same crisis feeling. They quickly snapped out of their hesitation, nodding like a rattle drum, and immediately rushed into the Maze Array.

Seeing this, Luan Yue followed them into the Maze Array with determined eyes.

...

Yunlan Mountain.

Breakfast time had arrived.

People were gradually heading to the kitchen, leaving the Gravity Field and dormitory area empty.

During her time at the Immortal Sect, Bainian Xiang gradually integrated with the others. From initial small talk to opening her heart, she gradually became one with everyone, and the language between them began to include playful banter, making conversations less restrained.

Once Bainian Xiang opened her heart, the group naturally began treating her as a junior sister, no longer limited to introductions and guidance.

Of course, this also had to do with Bainian Xiang’s generosity.

In recent days, Bainian Xiang had spent a lot of White Crystal to invite everyone to cultivate in the Cultivation Field.

While Yang Lele was walking to the kitchen, he suddenly played the role of senior brother and asked, "Junior Sister Bainian Xiang, how’s it going, how high can your flying sword go now?"

Bainian Xiang thought for a moment, showing a hint of pride on her face, and said, "It can already go up three zhang; I think my sword will soon fly to the sky."

Yang Lele nodded and then said, "By the way, you can borrow swords from Senior Brother Luo Mi and the others. Their Dragon-slaying Sword and Celestial Demon are magical artifacts used by cultivators in the Immortal Slaying World. Sword Control Skill belongs to the technique type and is more effective when cultivated with magical artifacts."

"Why don’t you teach her hand in hand?" Luo Mi rolled his eyes at Yang Lele, but the two were generous and continued with Yang Lele’s words, "If Junior Sister Bainian Xiang really needs it, our flying swords can be lent to you. Using the Dragon-slaying Sword or Celestial Demon to cultivate Sword Control Skill certainly makes it easier. However, it surely doesn’t help you learn as fast and well as Yang Lele teaching you himself."

Yang Lele hastily added, "Just knowing is fine. Hehe. If the junior sister needs it, I can also teach you hand in hand, after all, who am I but the senior brother?"

Just after speaking, Yang Lele suddenly realized something was amiss and hurriedly looked at Zhao Qing next to him.

Seeing Zhao Qing’s face as usual, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thanks for the kind intentions, senior brothers, but I think I’ll pass. I think my senior brothers might give me a magical artifact. Haha, who are my senior brothers but handsome guys. So handsome, so powerful, tsk tsk, I haven’t seen a few young talents in Hidden Dragon Lake that can compare to my senior brothers."

Bainian Xiang praised them with a smile.

Of course, she didn’t really intend to take away anyone’s treasure. It was just that after becoming familiar, she could joke around.

Luo Mi and his peers gave a helpless smile. They knew this was Bainian Xiang’s tactic, and also flattering words, but they still felt quite comfortable. However, for Luo Mi, comfortable as it was, he couldn’t help teasing, "Come on, a few days ago you were still clamoring to defeat me."

"Tch, petty." Bainian Xiang gave Luo Mi a disdainful glance, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Then, Bainian Xiang said, "Senior Brother Lele, I’m inviting you all to watch a movie and eat popcorn tonight. Just not inviting Luo Mi alone, hmph, petty person."

Luo Mi shook his head helplessly.

Everyone exchanged smiles again.

Yet, she was very generous, and as Yang Lele and the others, being senior brothers and sisters, they couldn’t take more because they weren’t short of White Crystal.

In dealing with others, other people being generous is one thing; always using others’ stuff is another.

Yang Lele shook his head, "Lele, does your family own a mine?"

Bainian Xiang truthfully replied, "Our Hidden Dragon Sect controls 12 large White Crystal Ores and 33 small White Crystal Ores. More than half belong to the Bainian family."

As she said this, Bainian Xiang’s expression was serious, as if she was earnestly answering the question.

Yang Lele smiled and said, "No wonder."

As they spoke, they reached the kitchen.

Elder Yu Mo came out of the kitchen and said to everyone, "Go find the Sect Leader, then prepare for dinner."

"The Sect Leader is not here again."

Yang Lele showed a puzzled look because the Sect Leader rarely missed meals, only occasionally needed their calls.

"The Sect Leader won’t watch a movie alone, will he?"

"I think it’s possible."

Everyone chattered among themselves.

Yu Mo quickly said, "The Sect Leader should be at the Jianmu Forest or the Tingyu Pavilion this morning. Perhaps he’s cultivating in a selfless realm; you all should quickly go and call him."

"Yes, Elder."

Everyone nodded and hurriedly split into two groups to look for Wen Ping.

"Sect Leader—"

As Bainian Xiang and others reached the Main Hall and prepared to head to the Tingyu Pavilion, Bainian Xiang suddenly stopped, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and her steps involuntarily halted. Because there, at the Thousand Layers, a very familiar figure stood, especially that face.

In fact, they hadn’t met many times.

Yet Bainian Xiang was certain she would never forget this face in her life. Arrogant, conceited, and disdainful; you could capture these emotions from his face. Thinking about it now, she couldn’t help but want to stomp on this face twice, preferably right after coming out of the toilet.

"Why is he here?"

Really like a persistent haunting spirit.

Whatever you detest, it must appear before you.

Bainian Xiang had no desire to ponder why Xia Jin appeared here, nor who those people with him were; she immediately turned to leave.

She feared that if she looked again, she couldn’t savor the endlessly delicious Spirit Rice, nor drink the sweet water from the well.

However, on the empty square, the sudden appearance of a few people was very conspicuous. Even if Xia Jin didn’t think much of anyone or want to look, his attention would still be drawn to the group, glancing over.

"Junior sister..." Yang Lele saw Bainian Xiang wanting to leave and hurriedly asked, but before he could speak, Xia Jin’s voice rang out.

"Bainian Xiang!"

"Bainian Xiang!"

Xia Jin called twice, and then suddenly ran over, surprising Situ Xiuneng, who was just getting up and heading toward the Thousand Layers.

"Don’t run!"

Xia Jin’s face was filled with strong joy, his hands desperately reaching for Bainian Xiang, but was blocked by an angry shout.

"Xia Jin!"

This voice was from Situ Xiuneng.

After Situ Xiuneng’s angry shout, Xia Jin’s pace gradually slowed and then stopped. Of course, the joy in his heart hadn’t faded. To him, Bainian Xiang was just a piece of meat on the chopping board; his knife, no matter how it chopped, would taste delicious.

He, like Bainian Xiang, didn’t want to think about why the other party disappeared for a few years and suddenly appeared, nor why the other party was here.

Yang Lele and others spoke, using vigilant eyes to stare at Xia Jin, their bodies tense, "What do you want to do?"

Xia Jin responded coldly and quietly, "Move aside, don’t block my way."

Yang Lele showed no fear, directly asking, "Do you know what this place is?"

"Hmph!" Xia Jin just snorted coldly, a hint of disregard on his face, but was about to continue forward when someone grabbed him. When Xia Jin turned his head, he saw it was his master, Situ Xiuneng, "Master, this is a great opportunity for the Xia Family!"

Situ Xiuneng shook his head, then turned to look at Wen Ping, who stood behind him with an indifferent face, and said, "Sect Leader Wen, this child knows Bainian Xiang, they’ve had some disputes, leading him to be a bit impulsive, but it’s all in jest, truly sorry."

Wen Ping replied, "It’s best to be impulsive."

He had just felt a strong malice from Xia Jin, otherwise he wouldn’t have charged directly at Bainian Xiang with clawing hands. If Xia Jin continued forward, he wouldn’t care about peace talks anymore and would let the Evil Spirit Knight kill Xia Jin.

Within the Immortal Sect, no matter what grudge, it’s not the reason for him to act!

Situ Xiuneng still showed a smile, hiding his thoughts, directly pulling Xia Jin back, saying, "Farewell—"

With that, Situ Xiuneng walked toward the Thousand Layers, pulling Xia Jin down the mountain in no time. However, Xia Jin was unwilling to go down, repeatedly trying to break free from Situ Xiuneng’s hand, turning his head back three times every step, looking at Bainian Xiang with unwillingness.

Once Situ Xiuneng left, Wen Ping turned his gaze to Bainian Xiang, who appeared dazed, leaning against a tree despite being surrounded by Yang Lele and others who were comforting her, yet her expression was still somewhat panicked.

Meanwhile, Wen Ping heard the system’s voice.

Luan Yue and several others, unexpectedly rushed into the Maze Array, continuously charging regardless of how many times sent away by the array.

Persistent!
