Chapter 2067: When the Sacred Body Is Achieved, You Shall Devour Me
Looking at Boss Ba You’s puzzled expression, Sikong Jing smiled slightly and said, "For now, you just need to stay hidden. Because I might fail, and I won’t tie you completely to me..."
"I can’t let what happened to Uncle Yao happen again..."
"In other words, if I fail and die, you can still go on living for your families."
"So you don’t need to do anything. Just wait for the moment you see hope in the future, and answer my call."
As his voice fell, Boss Ba You’s entire body trembled violently, then he suddenly understood everything.
Sikong Jing was doing his best not to implicate them, not wanting another tangled situation like Yao Yulou’s. If Sikong Jing succeeded, he would charge together with him; if not, he could continue to hide as Qianwang’s chess piece and eke out a living.
Thinking of this, Boss Ba You was deeply moved and knelt down again.
At this time, Sikong Jing spoke softly again: "Next, I’ll send someone to contact you in secret. Just hand over all your Cultivation Techniques to me. I’ll raise your Martial Arts Realm and let your Martial Arts potential fully erupt."
"Just like Xiong Tingting, who went mad with progress for the sake of her daughter..."
What Sikong Jing meant was naturally to remodel Boss Ba You’s Cultivation Technique, then ignite his strongest potential. He also wanted all the Thousand Prison Tower’s chess pieces to keep cultivating his Beast Techniques and Beast Skills without Qianwang Holy Tower noticing.
Sikong Jing’s words left Boss Ba You dumbfounded on the spot as he asked, "Could it be that Xiong Tingting also..."
"Yes. And now her daughter has already been saved by me. You saw it with your own eyes—Xiong Tingting is free." Sikong Jing spoke lightly, making Boss Ba You fall back onto the ground with a thump, his eyes filled with envy and congratulations.
Finally, Boss Ba You slowly turned and left...
Not long after, Ye Wuzhi brought an incomparably weak Xiong Tingting to Teng Mansion. Sikong Jing hurriedly took her over and treated her, while also sending people to bring her daughter over...
No one knew how much time had passed...
Xiong Tingting slowly woke up in a daze, and mother and daughter sobbed their eyes out in the room.
Unknowingly, night fell.
The story of the Qianwang Envoy Team being forced to slink away in disgrace kept spreading throughout Overlord City, and Sikong Jing’s terrifying method of killing even acquaintances was passed around by the customers present at Ba You Restaurant...
Coupled with today’s Sacred Body detection, the entire Overlord City was boiling over.
All kinds of commentary flooded the streets...
But at this moment, Sikong Jing ignored all of it. He didn’t leave Overlord City immediately either, but once again entered the Small Secret Realm of Teng Mansion. Venerable Ba Lian was still in deep cultivation...
Suddenly... thud!
Sikong Jing tossed out the Stone Stool Sky Pattern Treasure. He was now going to intimidate the Spiritual Shadow of the Nether Lotus Sea Snake, and use it to break the Stone Stool Sky Pattern Treasure, thereby obtaining the inheritance and secrets within the Heavenly Pattern Treasure.
Thus, outside the small thatched hut, Sikong Jing...
He lowered his voice and shouted at the Stone Stool Sky Pattern Treasure: "Nether Lotus Sea Snake, come out. I’ll tell you right now what I really am."
As soon as he said this, the Spiritual Shadow of the Nether Lotus Sea Snake timidly poked its head out...
Of course, it was ready to flee back into the stone stool at any time; it was far too terrified of being devoured by Sikong Jing again. Yet the moment it appeared, Sikong Jing suddenly... boom!
A terrifying aura of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts slammed down on the Spiritual Shadow of the Nether Lotus Sea Snake, followed by a frenzied suppression.
In an instant, the entire Spiritual Shadow of the Nether Lotus Sea Snake froze solid.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
It screamed in disbelief, "Y-you... you’re actually not human. You’re actually a Fierce Beast with bloodline even more terrifying than mine."
Of course, it only sensed Sikong Jing’s terrifying Fierce Beast aura and didn’t know he was the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.
"No, not just that."
"Y-you... you’re definitely one of the strongest Fierce Beasts in existence, and you’re still only at a juvenile stage."
"But why are you human? Why is it like this?"
The Sikong Jing before it had completely exceeded the Nether Lotus Sea Snake’s comprehension; its entire Spiritual Shadow was in chaos.
Yet Sikong Jing only said calmly, "Submit to me, and I’ll tell you why. I’ll even rescue you from this Stone Stool Sky Pattern Treasure, and let you meet the king of your clan..."
The king of their clan was, of course, the Nether Lotus Evil Snake in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison.
As Sikong Jing spoke, the Nether Lotus Sea Snake began to tremble more and more, and finally it still submitted.
It was weak from having had more than half of its Spiritual Shadow devoured by Sikong Jing, and shaken by the intimidation of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts. Demon beasts are sometimes that simple; they can easily submit to a stronger demon beast.
Afterward, the Nether Lotus Sea Snake naturally told Sikong Jing how to break the Stone Stool Sky Pattern Treasure.
...
Still that same night, the Divine Shuttle Fleet of the Qianwang Envoy Team was flying toward Qianwang Holy Tower...
The fleet was, unsurprisingly, sunk in extreme gloom.
This negotiation had completely failed. They had returned in defeat, and they hadn’t even managed to assassinate Sikong Jing...
At this moment, Qian Ta had just walked out of Yao Yulou and Jiang Wanyou’s room.
He muttered, "At least we gained the Evil Charm Holy Body, so it’s not a total failure."
Now that it was confirmed Jiang Wanyou wouldn’t die, this counted as their greatest gain this trip. As long as they could use Jiang Wanyou to obtain the true Evil Charm Holy Body, then it would be a success.
"Heh heh..."
"Little Demon Sikong, you thought Jiang Wanyou was doomed. Unfortunately, you underestimated the power of love. Jiang Wanyou was forcibly awakened by Yao Yulou. What kind of expression will you have when you learn we’ve obtained the Evil Charm Holy Body?"
Qian Ta couldn’t help but let out another eerie laugh...
If a chess piece of the Thousand Prison Tower heard this, they would definitely be speechless—Qian Ta was actually turning around to mock Sikong Jing for not believing in love.
And Qian Ta had no idea that this was exactly what Sikong Jing wanted.
Just like that, in not too bad a mood, Qian Ta left Yao Yulou and Jiang Wanyou’s room.
At the same time, under Yao Yulou’s careful care, Jiang Wanyou slowly opened her eyes...
Their gazes met, and they embraced each other tightly again.
After that came Yao Yulou’s whisper by Jiang Wanyou’s ear: "Wanyou, why were you so foolish?"
Jiang Wanyou weakly replied by his ear, "Because I only wanted to die together with you. And we still have a chance. As long as I’m with you, there’s a chance for you to keep living."
"There’s a chance to provide the strongest support for Young Master Sikong to shatter the Thousand Prison Tower."
As her voice faded, Yao Yulou’s eyes slowly widened. He didn’t understand what so-called chance and support she meant.
But he still asked in confusion, "Ajing’s sword..."
Before Yao Yulou could finish, Jiang Wanyou suddenly cut him off...
"That sword gave us an even greater opportunity. Originally, I wasn’t sure I could stall until I evolved into the Evil Charm Holy Body, but now, with Ajing’s sword, I can truly hide myself."
Thus, Jiang Wanyou softly recounted in Yao Yulou’s ear everything that Sikong Jing’s sword had given her.
She made Yao Yulou fully understand how much Sikong Jing’s sword had bestowed upon Jiang Wanyou...
And just as Yao Yulou was deeply moved by Sikong Jing, Jiang Wanyou softly murmured, "When I achieve the Sacred Body, you can devour my Evil Charm Holy Body, and forcibly step into the Holy Martial Stage."
"By then, you can coordinate from within with Young Master Sikong from without and shatter the Thousand Prison Tower."
As Jiang Wanyou whispered, Yao Yulou’s body suddenly trembled violently, and he pushed the pale Jiang Wanyou away in disbelief.
He stared fixedly at Jiang Wanyou’s pale face, his mouth slightly open...
Wanyou actually wanted him to devour her?
