Chapter 1975: Chapter 1975: Sikong Jing, Not Like a Human
Sikong Ling believed that if they didn’t sell the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array, Overlord Commerce could maintain some sort of advantage in terms of combat power.
However, Sikong Jing shook his head and replied, "We cannot not sell it..."
"Otherwise, the entire world will respond to Qianwang Holy Tower’s call to attack Overlord Commerce."
"Moreover, after this battle, it’s clear that while the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array is formidable, it’s not an absolute advantage."
That terrifying Soldier Formation Master, Pei Xie, could overthrow the Overlord Commerce army that owns the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array and so on.
To this, Sikong Ling nodded somewhat understandingly...
Next, Sikong Jing did not leave immediately, but continued to stay on the Divine Shuttle Ship of Mieqing Venerable, still waiting for someone.
During this time, he and Mieqing Venerable together did a comprehensive upgrade to the "Absolute Night Nianqing Technique," making it truly an Emperor-grade Upper Stage Cultivation Technique, and also allowing Su Yuexi to begin her initial cultivation.
Since she was staying at Wunian Saint Sect, Su Yuexi had to pretend to be a disciple of Annihilation Palace.
In a blink of an eye, several hours had passed, the sky darkened again, and finally the people they were waiting for arrived... It turned out to be Old Fat Head, Renyou, and Su Yue Immortal who had been notified by Sikong Jing...
Of course, there were also Su Zhenglong and Mei Xiaofang, whom Old Fat Head had brought out from Willow Leaf City.
And when Mieqing Venerable saw Renyou, he was once again speechless.
That Wunian Fox General from Wanbing City unexpectedly didn’t die and even followed Sikong Jing as a Su Old Demon Remnant.
"Renyou, greetings to Mieqing Venerable." Renyou spoke low in greeting.
Mieqing Venerable waved his hand speechlessly, his eyes full of resentment as he gazed at Sikong Jing, feeling that he was less trustworthy than Renyou.
To this, Sikong Jing could only helplessly comfort Mieqing Venerable, saying that Renyou was also forced without choice.
On the other side, Su Yuexi was already deeply embraced with her family.
Especially Mei Xiaofang, who had turned into a tearful mess, having been genuinely terribly worried, initially thinking the war would be victorious, only to have her daughters pursued again, truly terrifying her.
Next, Sikong Jing naturally explained to her parents about the arrangements for Su Yuexi.
To this, the two were stunned and full of reluctance.
Su Yue Immortal swiftly said, "Sikong Jing, can’t we arrange for Father and Mother to go to Wunian Saint Sect?"
She felt that following their grandfather’s remnants everywhere was less safe than going to Wunian Saint Sect, but the answer was no; Wunian Saint Sect wasn’t a good place.
If it were an ordinary sect, of course, no problem, but Wunian Saint Sect almost entirely comprised of people without feelings.
Unless they stayed in Annihilation Palace forever, not letting anyone know, otherwise, too easy to expose.
At this time, Old Fat Head heavily said, "Rest assured, young lady, Old Xiu certainly has absolutely safe places for them."
Thus the matter was settled, and they temporarily parted.
Old Fat Head and Renyou took Su Yue Immortal and the others away from Mieqing Venerable’s Divine Shuttle Ship, under Su Yuexi’s reluctant gaze.
But just as they left...
Sikong Jing’s gaze suddenly froze on the constantly receding figure of Su Yue Immortal.
He suddenly noticed a faint green light flickering on her body, and muttered to himself, "A Holy Martial Stage demon beast?"
On the other side...
After landing, Old Fat Head immediately instructed Renyou to take Su Yue Immortal and the others to the designated place, then hurriedly flashed back in the direction of the Divine Shuttle Ship, having received a transmission to report something to Sikong Jing.
And after Old Fat Head left...
Su Yue Immortal quickly looked at the small bird on her shoulder and gently asked, "Yuluan, why did you run away again just now?"
The jade-colored small bird on her shoulder was a demon beast, the heavily wounded Holy Martial Stage Golden Jade Bird Su Yue Immortal encountered in Willow Leaf Forest.
During Su Yue Immortal’s participation in the Willow Leaf City war, the Golden Jade Bird had always kept a distance, not facing any Emperor Martial Stage expert’s power...
Only after taking down Pei Chang did it return to Su Yue Immortal’s side.
But just as they were about to board Mieqing Venerable’s Divine Shuttle Ship, the Golden Jade Bird suddenly left, puzzling Su Yue Immortal.
"Are you afraid of the experts of Wunian Saint Sect?" Su Yue Immortal asked again, then chuckled lightly: "Rest assured, anyone recognized by my brother-in-law Sikong Jing wouldn’t harm you."
However, the Golden Jade Bird shook its head, staring into the direction of the Divine Shuttle Ship of Mieqing Venerable...
Finally, it uttered in a crisp female voice: "Your brother-in-law seems not to be human."
The words took Su Yue Immortal aback, saying, "Yuluan, why do you insult people?"
To this, the Golden Jade Bird suddenly fell silent, still gazing steadily in Sikong Jing’s direction again saying: "I feel like I want to eat him, but it also seems like I’d end up being eaten instead, such a peculiar feeling..."
Upon hearing this, Su Yue Immortal’s face suddenly sank, staring fiercely at the Golden Jade Bird.
To this, it gently replied: "Rest assured, you’ve shown me kindness, I won’t touch anyone close to you, just odd why I have this instinct towards your brother-in-law?"
Truly only an instinct, puzzling the Golden Jade Bird greatly, ultimately dismissing further thoughts.
And hearing its assurance, Su Yue Immortal relaxed, ceasing further inquiry.
...
On Mieqing Venerable’s Divine Shuttle Ship, Su Yuexi asked suspiciously looking at Sikong Jing: "Brother Jing, what’s wrong?"
Sikong Jing snapped back and replied with a smile: "It seems your sister experienced another encounter, perhaps a Holy Martial Stage demon bird, but it seems it’s injured, I’ll reach out given a chance..."
Regarding Sikong Jing’s answer, Su Yuexi was stunned, not understanding.
But soon there was no time to ask more...
Old Fat Head had already returned to the Divine Shuttle Ship, saying lowly: "Young Master, Ye Wushen and Pei Yupo have escaped from Nankao City; Murong Jianyun and the Overlord Army are in pursuit."
"And Ye Wushen is carrying two fragments of Qianyuan Soldier Fragment, absolutely cannot let him get away, so I previously dispatched people to search everywhere."
"Just now finally received news from subordinates, there’s a clue."
Listening to Old Fat Head’s words, Sikong Jing’s eyes gleamed... but he said no more, firstly looking toward Su Yuexi and Sikong Ling, saying: "Yue Xi Ling’er, I’m going to capture Ye Wushen, we’ll meet again in Overlord City."
Pausing, Sikong Jing looked at his sister saying: "Ling’er, in Overlord City, we’ll open the second letter from Father and Mother."
Upon hearing this, the two ladies both nodded heavily...
Then followed by two hugs, Sikong Jing then clasped his fists in farewell to Mieqing Venerable, turned and rode the Split Armor Flying Scorpion, flying away from the Divine Shuttle Ship.
Su Yuexi and Sikong Ling again held hands tightly, deeply looking at each other.
They both could see the determination in each other’s eyes, to strive diligently in cultivation, absolutely not dragging Sikong Jing down.
...
The Divine Shuttle Ship flew far away, Mieqing Venerable deliberately wiped away all marks on the Divine Shuttle Ship, changing to another aura while traveling, as if they hadn’t been near Willow Leaf City.
On the other side, Sikong Jing along with Old Fat Head rode the Split Armor Flying Scorpion, arriving over a small city after an hour.
