Chapter 2100: Choosing to Assist in One’s Hour of Need
Sikong Jing’s ultimate goal has never been what the Golden Tiger Emperor mentioned.
What he desires is the companionship of family and friends, the peak of martial arts, and to repay the kindness of the myriad beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison.
He gazed at the Golden Tiger Emperor...
"Our Overlord Commerce is in the business of trade; do you think we are really interested in conquering the Central Plains?"
"Moreover, if we weren’t forced to fight, would a trading sect like ours step out as a vanguard?"
After stating his ambition, Sikong Jing briefly spoke about the situation of the Overlord Commerce.
Upon hearing this, the Golden Tiger Emperor’s entire body trembled with shock, but he did not immediately respond. Instead, he stood there with his expression constantly changing.
Eventually, he slightly nodded and slowly floated up, speaking deeply in mid-air, "I need to think it over carefully. I also want to see if you can save the Sacred Canggu Peak, so I’ll take my leave for now."
After saying this, the Golden Tiger Emperor left directly...
And Sikong Jing also clasped his hands slightly in his direction, then gave the order to continue advancing north without saying more.
Sikong Jing was not at all surprised by the appearance of the Golden Tiger Emperor.
As long as he showed up, it wasn’t long before other strong individuals would seek him out to find a direction to choose.
At that time, Sikong Jing would give the same words.
Of course, he wanted some of the top forces’ strong individuals to follow the Overlord Commerce to fight against the Qianwang Holy Tower...
But the prestige of the Qianwang Holy Tower has been deeply rooted for too long; which force would easily believe that the Overlord Commerce could win? Now Sikong Jing is merely expressing confidence and determination bit by bit to these strong individuals and top forces.
As for the rest, Sikong Jing wouldn’t demand it, nor would he force it.
But Sikong Jing would allow those forces inclined toward the Overlord Commerce to see that as long as they are willing to fight alongside the Overlord Commerce, they will receive Sikong Jing’s utmost sincerity and benefits.
The Sacred Canggu Peak will soon become a living example...
Suddenly, Sikong Jing thought of something and left a message: "Golden Tiger Emperor, if I am like the Qianwang Holy Tower, then the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation would not be put up for auction, but I...do not care."
His voice echoed through the air of Hanluan City...
And the Golden Tiger Emperor, who had just left not far away, was once again trembling all over and stopped in his tracks, his gaze immensely deep as he watched Sikong Jing’s Divine Shuttle Fleet gradually disappear into the night.
Just at this moment... swish swish swish.
A few elders from the Hundred Tigers Holy Cave quickly approached the Golden Tiger Emperor and asked, "Demon Master Sikong, what does he mean?"
In fact, they couldn’t understand why Sikong Jing would be willing to auction off the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation, why could he not care?
Who wouldn’t hide such a thing securely and then cultivate to the peak?
The Golden Tiger Emperor slowly retracted his gaze, explaining, "He’s telling us that his ambition is the apex of martial arts, and in the eyes of the world, the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation is a powerful weapon, yet in his hands, it’s merely a fleeting chance."
"He believes his future will definitely yield something more powerful than the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation."
"Or, even if everyone in the world could unleash the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation, his future self could easily break it."
Listening to the Golden Tiger Emperor’s explanation, the approaching Hundred Tiger Elders gaped...
"Isn’t this a bit too presumptuous?" A Hundred Tiger Elder couldn’t help but speak.
Simply put, Sikong Jing does not regard the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation as a crucial asset; what others see as a treasure, he can casually share...
This is confidence, but it seems also arrogance.
"He truly has this qualification; how long has it been since the battle for the territory?"
"He can now contend with the Qianwang, and everyone thought he would surely die after killing Pei Yuzheng, yet he killed several key figures of Qianwang Holy Tower."
"And everything he said was true; he really put it up for auction."
The Golden Tiger Emperor whispered, and his gaze toward Sikong Jing had already gradually changed.
There was shock, and of course, admiration!
"Perhaps we should really take a chance; bringing help in times of need is a hundred times better than embellishing a success. If we now side with Sacred Canggu Peak, we could gain the greatest and most benefits."
"In the future, we might even have the Divine Martial Stage or even more powerful backing to protect us."
The Hundred Tiger Elders beside him listened to the Golden Tiger Emperor’s words, staring at him in disbelief.
Could it be that the Golden Tiger Emperor really intends to make a decision now and support Demon Master Sikong?
Isn’t this gamble too big, and does he truly believe that Demon Master Sikong can overthrow the Qianwang Holy Tower?
This... this... is too absurd, isn’t it?
Just at this time, the Golden Tiger Emperor clenched his fist abruptly and declared heavily, "Transmit my orders; the Hundred Tigers Holy Cave will fully mobilize and head to Ancient Sacred Peak. I want to lend Sikong Jing a helping hand; I want to make a choice now."
"Sikong Jing is so high-profile, he will inevitably encounter obstacles along the way."
"So we shall provide timely assistance, arrive at Sacred Canggu Peak first, and help them withstand the siege from all directions."
The Golden Tiger Emperor’s voice grew increasingly firm; he was genuinely conquered by Sikong Jing.
...
Day by day passed, with Sikong Jing leading the East Dominator Army continuously northward to Sacred Canggu Peak.
Along the way, there were certainly obstacles, and individuals like the Golden Tiger Emperor would appear. Facing obstacles, he would directly break through using the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation, while his attitude toward those seeking a direction was clear.
The reason for his high-profile advance was not only to showcase the terror of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation but also to make certain forces who were coerced by the Qianwang Holy Tower appear and give them confidence.
Still, without forcing it, Sikong Jing believed many strong individuals would be persuaded by him.
Also, because of his high-profile advance, stories about his deeds in the Central Plains East began to spread, attracting more sect strong individuals to seek him out, and some even joined the East Dominator Army.
At the same time, the terror of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation gradually began to take root in people’s hearts, sending chills down their spines...
Half a month later, Sikong Jing appeared with the East Dominator team not far from East Spirit City, where Weng Ting and the Zhang Duiyi siblings, along with members of the Weng Family, immediately went out of the city to greet them, joined by many others from within East Spirit City.
When Weng Ting and others saw the East Dominator team appearing before them, they were immediately shocked.
Zhang Duiyin couldn’t help covering her mouth, saying, "Is this still the East Dominator Tyrant Team we know? Why are there so many people?"
The East Dominator team was densely packed, completely covering half of the sky.
The three from the Weng family were also originally from the East Dominator, and they were very familiar with the situation of the East Dominator Branch, and there were never this many people.
Zhang Duiyi’s eyes flashed brightly as he smiled at his sister, "This is the charm of Junior Brother Sikong himself, and this also tells everyone that Junior Brother Sikong is different from Su Old Demon Senior; more people are willing to assist him."
Besides this, the Overlord Commerce was also a reason.
Everyone knew Sikong Jing had the background and support of the Overlord Commerce, which made even more people willing to support him.
At this time, Weng Ting and her grandfather Weng Yinko had already stepped forward, with Weng Ting leading by saying, "Dark Wing Commander, Sacred Canggu Peak is extremely perilous now, with more and more forces joining the Qianwang to besiege Canggu."
