Chapter 1998: Chapter 1998: Qianwang Saint Heir, Selection of the Emissary
Standing outside the Holy Wall Forbidden Land, Xiong Tingting unknowingly found herself in tears.
She initially thought that no matter how this mission turned out, Sikong Jing would not abandon Pei Xie because of a small pawn like her.
Yet she didn’t expect him to agree, how could she not be moved by this?
Thud...
Suddenly, she knelt heavily in the direction of Sikong Jing...
"Young Master Sikong, your great kindness and virtue will be remembered forever, and in fact, I have some connection with a pawn of the Thousand Prison Tower. Later, I will persuade him on my own behalf to fight alongside us."
Hearing Xiong Tingting’s words, Sikong Jing, who was on the Split Armor Flying Scorpion, was slightly shaken and turned his head.
Understanding what Xiong Tingting meant, he clasped his fists heavily: "Thank you, prioritize your safety, don’t push it."
He knew that Xiong Tingting’s move was risky, so he advised her.
Previously, Xiong Tingting had always maintained that she wouldn’t reveal Young Master Sikong’s secret and was still undecided about whether to join in resisting the Qianwang Holy Tower.
Now she was determined to risk everything with Sikong Jing, even if it meant never seeing her daughter again.
She wanted to use her name to persuade the other pawn she was connected to from the Thousand Prison Tower to follow Sikong Jing together.
This was something Xiong Tingting would never have risked saying before.
Now, she was moved by Sikong Jing.
Just like that, the two chatted a few more words about the so-called new pawn, then said goodbye and left... Sikong Jing would head to Overlord City first, while Xiong Tingting would soon set off with the women of Wenxiang Pavilion.
Along the way, the Split Armor Flying Scorpion sped rapidly and swiftly...
During this time, Sikong Jing gave guidance and teachings to his two disciples, raising them all to the Peak of the Spirit Martial Heavenly King Realm.
...
Meanwhile, as Sikong Jing returned to Overlord City, Pei Yusheng finally rode the Thunderstorm Roar Beast back to the Qianwang Holy Tower.
He immediately went to see Pei Kuang, and admitted that he was the Innate Saint Body.
As for the matter of devouring Pei Yupo, he stuck to the initial plan.
He definitely wouldn’t admit it and directly said it was the Soul Dominator’s Heir spreading false rumors, and that he risked his life trying to save his brother.
Many people had seen this matter...
Pei Kuang did not express whether he believed it or not.
He had reached an agreement with Lady Li and had benefited, so even if it was true, he wouldn’t care. He simply said deeply, "Remember, you are my seed, Pei Kuang!"
"As long as you stand for the Qianwang Holy Tower, for our Pei Family, nothing else matters."
After saying this, as Pei Yusheng slightly lowered his head, Pei Kuang took out the Sacred Body detection artifact given by Lady Li.
He applied it directly on Pei Yusheng...
Buzz...
The Sacred Body detection artifact immediately emitted a brilliant light, and Pei Kuang stared intently at the light on the artifact, finally speaking with some excitement: "Third Grade Saint Body, and of the same lineage as my Golden War King Body, excellent, excellent."
At this moment, Pei Kuang was very happy, extremely happy.
The most important was, of course, that Pei Yusheng was his seed, and the Saint Body was nearly identical to his, with a higher grade.
Pei Kuang had upgraded to a Second-grade Holy Body at great cost, but Pei Yusheng was directly a Third-grade.
Indeed, the Saint Body was also divided into grades, just like the War Body being divided into Nine Grades.
Pei Kuang had known this before, but with the Sacred Body detection artifact, he understood it more clearly...
According to Lady Li, a Third Grade Saint Body is very rare and outstanding in the boundless Canghai.
After Pei Yusheng feigned modesty, Pei Kuang declared heavily: "Now, you will accompany me to gather all the core members of the Qianwang Holy Tower. I will announce you as the Qianwang Holy Tower’s Saint Heir."
Just so, without waiting for Pei Yusheng to agree, Pei Kuang issued a command.
Soon after, the Eight Emperor Qianwang, the Thousand Kings and Hundreds of Venerables, and various core figures gathered in the Qianwang Hall. Pei Kuang again brought out the Sacred Body detection artifact to test Pei Yusheng.
In the end, he also publicly announced him as the Qianwang Saint Son, the future Tower Master.
Immediately, all those qualified to participate in the meeting at Qianwang Holy Tower were in an uproar, followed by countless congratulations.
Of course, there were also envious looks from people like Pei Yuguang, Pei Kuang’s eldest son, enough to explode...
In the end, there were waves of excitement; the Qianwang Holy Tower finally had a true Holy Body Genius and a Sacred Body detection artifact, sweeping away the shadow of the great defeat at the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall.
Amidst countless cheers, Pei Kuang slowly spoke again: "Next, someone needs to take the Sacred Body detection artifact to Overlord Commerce and test the Soul Dominator’s Heir in front of countless people..."
"And announce on the spot that Overlord Commerce is a Demon Path force."
"If the Soul Dominator’s Heir isn’t detected to be a Saint Body, then Overlord Commerce will be confirmed as a Demon Path. Now, who is willing to go?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other...
Going to Overlord Commerce in such a situation and announcing them as a Demon Path force could very likely lead to death.
Seeing no one speak up, Pei Kuang didn’t mind, instead coldly said, "Yuguang, you shall go!"
His words instantly turned Pei Yuguang’s face pale.
But Pei Kuang immediately added, "Qian Ta will accompany you, don’t worry...and I’ll send a second Holy Martial Stage too."
Hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened, a dispatch of two Holy Martial Stages for protection secretly, indeed it’s safe to go...
Which Holy Martial Stage Old Monster from Qianwang Holy Tower would accompany besides Qian Ta?
No one could think of anyone...
But beside Pei Kuang, Pei Yusheng secretly laughed, knowing it was his mother. She planned to go to Overlord Commerce herself to see if this Soul Dominator’s Heir was the... offspring of the couple she wanted to arrest!
...
After the meeting ended, Pei Yuguang went to pack and prepare for Overlord Commerce.
Pei Yusheng, finding Lady Li alone, gently asked: "Mother, will there be danger in this mission?"
"What if the Soul Dominator’s Heir really is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sikong, and the couple is secretly protecting him, wouldn’t you be in grave danger?"
Upon hearing this, Lady Li shook her head.
She smiled gently: "There are some things I didn’t tell your father completely."
"Mr. and Mrs. Sikong can almost certainly have returned to the boundless Canghai long ago, driven out of the Central Plains by the deadly hunt more than ten years ago. Otherwise, those who came with Mother would not have left."
Among the chasers of Mr. and Mrs. Sikong back then, she wasn’t the only one, there were many others.
"Mother was just a small fry in the chase team."
"After being injured, no one cared if I lived or died, leaving me here unable to return to the boundless Canghai.
"But now we have a chance, as long as Sikong Jingzhen really is the offspring of Mr. and Mrs. Sikong, we will no longer be small fry. If we bring this offspring to the boundless Canghai, we will undoubtedly gain immense benefits."
Hearing Lady Li’s words, Pei Yusheng was dumbfounded.
Only now did he realize his mother was merely a small soldier in the chase team back then.
