Chapter 1223: Unexpected
In any system that exists over many years, a framework will come to exist that contains multiple branches of support. Unless someone in that system has heaven-defying strength, they would have no choice but to obey the rules of the framework. And it would be almost impossible for them to affect the branches. After all, the branches of the framework would be outstanding and powerful. What was more, after the passage of dozens or even hundreds of generations, those branches would become inherent parts of the system and its rules.
In the Fifth Star Ring, the eleven heavens beyond heaven were the eleven strongest branches. Within those heavens beyond heaven were numerous powerful organizations that both protected their own home and benefited from it. They could also be considered branches. And they were like gigantic vortexes that exerted powerful gravitational forces that affected all of the living beings in the Fifth Star Ring.
Given that, why would any cultivator want to trifle with them?
After Zhou Zhengli cleared his throat and the ascendees spoke, their words became like incisive divine abilities and daoist magics that struck the prison guards deep in their hearts. They were like boulders tossed into the sea! Every word left the listeners shaken to the core. Combined with the light of the identity medallions, it caused the nonhuman guards to feel like they were being struck with repeated tidal waves of shock.
Such backgrounds. Such affiliations.... Even the two wardens started to feel completely powerless.
This group was made of a host of silkpants! And in terms of cultivation base and talent, they obviously surpassed ordinary silkpants.
People like this had to be ascendees from the Immortal Capital! Although there were only a few orthodox sects in the Immortal Capital, the reality was that the entire place was like a tangle of dragons and snakes, in other words, a hodgepodge of good people and scumbags. It was essentially a breeding ground for all the heavens beyond heaven, a place that was a mix of darkness and light.
Someone might go unnoticed there for a long time, but after they reached their potential and left the Immortal Capital, they would quickly attract attention and be recruited.
The two wardens were fully aware of how that worked. Yet they were still puzzled by something.... Ascendees were normally split up. They were never grouped together into one squadron. Yet right now... the two wardens felt completely powerless in the face of these people. The wardens couldn’t compare to them in battle prowess. And these people had backgrounds that weren’t even necessary to mention.
And they’re actually Acquisitioners....
Both wardens felt deep bitterness.
Sir Star Ring was leading a few dozen ascendees right into the prison inside the statue. The mission was already underway. Sir Vilespirit, Yuanshan Su, Hordeslayer, and Rampart split up. Some went in on their own, others led some ascendees with them. Li Mengtu went inside as well. They went to different areas to divide up the work.
