Chapter 2080: Seventh-grade War Body, Strongest in the Arena
The voice of the Old Woman You Yao resonated far and wide...
In an instant, the entire central island of Shuibo Lake fell silent, while Fu Miaoling’s face changed drastically.
Then came the frantic noises from inside and even outside the surrounding buildings, countless men howled. Amid these sounds, the Old Woman You Yao slowly looked at Fu Miaoling in front of her and let out a hideous smile...
"You want to force us with death, right?"
"Of course, I can promise not to kill thirty-percent of the Fu Family, but I can still use another way to give you a small punishment and warning. You always insisted on performing without selling yourself, I agreed with you before, but not anymore now."
"You have to pay the price for your previous stringless ethereal melody."
"Didn’t you want to use the Qianwang Holy Tower to save your Fu Family? For now, I’ll make you lose something of some value, and if you dare to repeat your actions, you will lose more and more until you become someone truly forsaken."
"Of course, maybe you don’t care..."
"But don’t push us too far, or else we will truly execute all the members of the Fu Family in front of you, one after another, every day."
One threat after another struck Fu Miaoling hard.
At this moment, a faint trace of panic showed in Fu Miaoling’s eyes, and her entire body trembled violently.
However, she quickly calmed down and said, "Third Elder, I dare not anymore."
It was obvious that the initial panic was just her resistance to selling herself as a woman, but in a mere instant, she accepted reality and steadied herself. She even put down the dagger in her hand.
She threatened death only to save people and to prevent the Old Woman You Yao from killing thirty-percent of the Fu Family members.
For the lives of the Fu Family members, what are personal honor and fleeting pain?
She said she wouldn’t dare, but there wasn’t an ounce of fear on her face, the words were entirely perfunctory.
It was just giving the Old Woman You Yao a way out, preventing her from killing because of the stringless ethereal melody.
The Old Woman You Yao could see through this, of course, she was extremely resentful in her heart, but she ultimately let out a cold laugh and said, "Now that I’ve said it, you have no choice tonight."
After speaking, the Old Woman You Yao vanished from the lounge.
She never noticed Sikong Jing in the shadows. Now, though she punished Fu Miaoling, she was still somewhat disturbed because they were very passive without Fu Miaoling’s brother as leverage.
And Fu Miaoling seemed truly not to care about the life and death of the Fu Family, appearing as if she were really going to gamble it all.
In any case, the Old Woman You Yao had to return to the Holy Craftsman You Family to discuss this with everyone.
A few breaths later, all the Fu Family members in the lounge got up.
Each of them stared at Fu Miaoling with eyes full of resentment.
Then they sighed heavily but said nothing more.
Now everything in the Fu Family was decided by Fu Miaoling alone. How she fought, others couldn’t stop her. This time thirty-percent escaped a tribulation, but what if Fu Miaoling tried again?
Could they escape again?
Still sitting, Fu Miaoling wiped the blood off her neck, saying nothing, lost in thought.
At this time, Sikong Jing glanced at Fu Miaoling a few times before slipping out of the lounge, returning to the hall of the building. Of course, no one knew he had sneaked in.
So, he sat down casually, picked up a glass of wine gently.
He didn’t immediately go to engage with Fu Miaoling but quietly organized the information he had just heard.
He sorted through Fu Miaoling’s situation, pondering carefully...
In the end, he smiled slightly and said, "I must say, Qianwang Holy Tower’s vision is extremely sharp, every piece they choose is unmatched in spirit and courage."
Speaking, Sikong Jing picked up his wine and drank it all in one go.
He then got up and left the hall, and when he returned to the hall again, he had something shining in his hand, which was the invitation gold token for this Shuibo Lake banquet.
This was something crafted by the Holy Craftsman You Family, and only those with the gold token could enter the central island of Shuibo Lake.
Just now, Sikong Jing went out to snatch a gold token.
He was ready to act that night for Fu Miaoling, aiming for an open and honest conversation with her. It was a good choice since she wouldn’t be under constant surveillance then.
Without the gold token, he would be an intruder, so Sikong Jing had to snatch one, as for the original owner of the gold token.
Of course, they were already laying in some corner of the island.
As time passed, more and more people gathered in the hall, and after an hour, Fu Miaoling finally returned to the stage under the guidance of a Holy Craftsman Mountain expert, greeted by all sorts of howls below.
Of course, most of them were young men.
The older generation mainly came to discuss supporting the Qianwang Holy Tower, not very interested in Fu Miaoling.
Following this, the host of the Holy Craftsman Mountain announced the rules for the banquet. It’s simple, whoever has the highest Combat Body Level gets Fu Miaoling for the night...
Soon followed the detection of war bodies, with young men fiercely unleashing their war body auras, each competing with the others.
As a result, a very inconspicuous young man in black emerged victorious.
He turned out to be a seventh-grade Battle Body!
This filled countless people with astonishment, while many men looked on with eyes full of jealousy. If looks could kill, this young man in black would have died countless times.
But a seventh-grade Battle Body implies a bright future and a massive backing, and naturally, no one dared to act rashly.
Ultimately, everyone could only watch as this shabby, unshaven young man in black walked onto the stage, and after confirming the invitation gold token, he and Fu Miaoling went to the courtyard under the guidance of servants.
Then, the entire hall erupted with waves of commotion...
At this point, a strong older member ran to the stage and in a low voice asked the host of the Holy Craftsman Mountain, "May I ask who this young man in black is... a seventh-grade Battle Body, why haven’t we heard of him?"
Even though Qianwang Holy Tower casually throws out eighth-grade Battle Bodies, that’s just the Qianwang Holy Tower.
A seventh-grade Battle Body is a treasure in a top power.
Hearing this, the host was a bit puzzled himself. He frowned and replied, "Central Central Plains, the Shen Family!"
With these words, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Where exactly is the Shen Family in the Central Central Plains? It seems no one has heard of it.
"I guess one of our elders invited him, feel free to ask around among yourselves."
The host of the Holy Craftsman Mountain said nonchalantly, having a gold token and entering here posed no problem.
This time, all invites were issued by the elders of the Holy Craftsman Mountain, so having powerful hidden families was normal.
And naturally, he didn’t know that the black-clad youth acquired his invitation gold token from a Tian Family expert near Fire Artisan City, just that the writing had been slightly altered.
If he claimed to be from the Tian Family, someone might investigate, which would expose his identity.
