Chapter 2241: What, He Wants to Be the Island Master?
And Yao Yulou, will he kill himself immediately?
Very likely he won’t. He’s probably going to the place in Hanluan City where he met Jiang Wanyou, most likely returning to the Yao Residence in Hanluan City.
However, when Murong Jianyun’s words fell, the whole hall fell silent...
Beicang Tianjue opened her mouth, and said in a low voice, "Right now, which of us can catch up to Yao Yulou? Who can stop him?"
Once the voice fell, the hall grew eerily quiet.
Indeed, with Yao Yulou’s current terrifying realm, if he truly wants to kill himself, no one can stop him.
"I can stop him..."
Just as everyone in the Heavenly Decision Hall was at a loss, a woman’s voice rushed in urgently from outside the hall, and then everyone saw a graceful figure stride in. It was none other than Fu Miaoling.
Under everyone’s puzzled gazes, Fu Miaoling spoke solemnly...
"Back at Qianwang Golden Light Tower, Young Master Sikong asked me to personally hand something over to Senior Yao Yulou, and I must only give it to him after the war. He’s been too mad demon these past days, I never had a chance to do it."
"Now that the battle has finally somewhat calmed, I can carry out this task."
"I believe, as long as I fulfill what Young Master Sikong entrusted to me, Senior Yao will definitely not seek his own death."
All this time she had wanted to hand over that storage ring Sikong Jing gave her to Yao Yulou, but the latter was almost ceaselessly fighting, and Fu Miaoling simply couldn’t find an opening.
Nor did she dare pass the item through someone else, afraid she’d mess up Sikong Jing’s matter...
Yet when the fighting eased and she went to look for him again, she heard the news that Yao Yulou had suddenly left. Of course she was anxious out of her mind now.
Looking at Fu Miaoling, Hua Meixi didn’t ask what it was that Sikong Jing had asked her to pass on...
She only said bleakly, "But we can’t catch up to Uncle Yao."
Even if handing Sikong Jing’s item to Uncle Yao could calm him down, what do they do if they can’t find him or catch up?
The others’ faces dimmed as well, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, Fu Miaoling took a deep breath, clenched her teeth, and said, "I can catch up. As long as Venerable Ba Lian learns our Holy Craftsman Fu Family’s Space Folding, she can definitely take me to catch up to Senior Yao."
When her voice fell, everyone stared at Fu Miaoling in disbelief.
Now of course they all knew that she was the secret inheritor of the Holy Craftsman Mountain Messenger Bird.
And she was actually going to pass the Fu Family’s greatest secret to Venerable Ba Lian?
At this moment, Fu Miaoling raised her head firmly and said, "The Space Folding Technique is indeed the Fu Family’s unpassed secret, but my brother’s life and mine were saved by Young Master Sikong. Without him, this secret would have long been lost."
"The fate of our Holy Craftsman Fu Family is already tied to Overlord Commerce now."
"I’m willing to give everything for Overlord Commerce. I’m willing to share everything. Since Young Master Sikong can share his Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map and so on, of course I can share my Space Folding."
As Fu Miaoling’s voice rang out, crystal clear, everyone in the Heavenly Decision Hall shuddered to the core.
Especially those who had thrown in with Overlord Commerce like Qu Hanming and Changqing Venerable. It was as if something inside them had been ignited. They thought of how Sikong Jing had selflessly shared the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation and Holy-grade cultivation method and so forth.
It seemed they too should share something for victory on this battlefield, to further raise their strength.
At this time, Venerable Ba Lian slammed to her feet and said, "Very well. Then you’ll depart for Hanluan City with me right now. On the way, I will definitely learn your Space Folding, and I will definitely catch up to Yao Yulou..."
As long as she learned Space Folding, Venerable Ba Lian’s speed would certainly become even faster.
And Venerable Ba Lian had always acted swiftly and fiercely. She swept Fu Miaoling up and left on the spot. Since only she had reached the Third Stage of Holy Martial, naturally only she had the greatest chance to catch up to Yao Yulou.
Hua Meixi hurriedly chased after them as well; she wanted to go too.
At the same time, the mood of the Heavenly Decision Hall’s meeting suddenly shifted.
The atmosphere grew strange, but gradually everyone’s gazes crossed back and forth, and then Tie Binghun suddenly... thunk!
He stepped out heavily and said, "Everyone, I’ve recently gained quite a few insights into that Green Jade Stone Bricks Young Master Sikong gave me. I’d like to ask all of you to give me some pointers..."
As he spoke, Tie Binghun began to talk at length.
Next, the meeting in the Heavenly Decision Hall completely changed, turning into an utterly frank and open Martial Arts exchange conference.
Sitting at the head, Murong Jianyun stared blankly at the lively scene before him.
Beicang Tianjue slowly moved closer...
She smiled softly and said, "Sikong Jing, I wonder when he’ll be able to come back? If he doesn’t return soon, we’re going to win, and it wouldn’t be very proper of us to snatch his hero’s spot."
Saying this, Beicang couldn’t help but smile slightly. Although Sikong Jing had vanished, his will was still influencing everyone in Overlord Commerce and all those who had thrown in with them, making Beicang feel that this battle was destined to be won!
...
Desert Sea Absolute Array, Demon Scale Island.
Dawn was just breaking. Sikong Jing’s True Qi surged ceaselessly through his body; his Human Clan meridian was about to break through to the Martial Battle Stage.
Suddenly, Hui Lu’s shout came from outside again...
"Island Master, you finally came."
"That damned Black Scale Demon is in the hut. We kept urging him to hand over Yinlu. We told him the sacrifice doesn’t just affect our Huilin Village, it will affect the safety of the entire Demon Scale Island, and even you, Island Master."
"But they just won’t listen, and even arrogantly said that you, Island Master, don’t amount to anything."
The voice rang out from outside the little hut, leaving Yinlu inside staring, dumbstruck. Hui Lu was actually starting to spout nonsense again.
For the last few hours, when did she ever try to persuade anyone?
I didn’t even know that my refusal to be a sacrifice would affect the safety of the whole Demon Scale Island, okay?
Hui Lu had only ordered people to surround Brother Daniu, persuading him not to go into the hut and not to meddle with her, that’s all.
At the same time, Brother Daniu’s voice rang out outside, "Hui Lu, stop..."
Before he finished, the Huilin Village Elder barked heavily, "Daniu, shut up for me."
Very clearly, they just didn’t want Brother Daniu to blurt anything out.
Then the Great Village Elder spoke again, voice cold as frost, "Island Master, that Black Scale Demon is simply too arrogant. He’s openly challenging your authority. He even said he wants to be Island Master himself."
With Hui Lu and the Great Village Elder sowing discord and provoking, all kinds of voices erupted outside at once...
"That Black Scale Demon, such huge guts."
"Of course his guts are huge. With the Huilin Village Elders saying they’d go fetch the Island Master, he actually dared to stay here and not run."
"Which village does this person belong to, anyway?"
Clearly, it wasn’t just the Island Master who had come from outside; many people from other villages were here as well.
Inside the hut, Yinlu peered out through the window, then her face changed drastically as she looked toward Sikong Jing lying on the straw mat and said, "Brother Hei Lin, a lot of people have come outside. It looks like the Island Master and all the big shots of Demon Scale Island are here."
Sikong Jing slowly opened his eyes and replied, "Mm, I’ll go out and take a look."
He rose directly to his feet and walked out of the hut with an unconcerned air. As soon as he stepped out, countless gazes fell on him.
In response, Sikong Jing still didn’t show the slightest change in expression as he examined everyone.
There were indeed a lot of people, and all the Demons had scales, in all different colors.
At the head was a middle-aged Demon, his whole body covered in purple scales, with a long lizard tail growing from his back.
𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
This person was, of course, the Island Master of Demon Scale Island.
The people opposite were naturally observing Sikong Jing as well, and a Demon soon spoke...
"I don’t think I’ve ever seen this kind of scale pattern before."
"Indeed. Though they’re black scales too, they’re quite different from those of the villages dominated by Black Scales."
Very clearly, the Many Demons were starting to suspect that Sikong Jing wasn’t from their Demon Scale Island at all.
