Chapter 2117: Steady Now—Go Along with the Mistake
Because the Third Grade Saint Body made the Holy Ancestor Tianxin feel he was not someone from the Deserted Sea Forbidden Land.
And because he had just been moved by the four words "Deserted Sea Forbidden Land," it confirmed the Holy Ancestor Tianxin’s certainty even more.
Thinking of this, Sikong Jing still said, "Isn’t there a possibility of other surprises? Perhaps I’m indeed born and raised here. As for the four words ’Deserted Sea Forbidden Land,’ can’t I have heard them from other places, like the Qianyuan War Emperor?"
However, the Holy Ancestor Tianxin sneered repeatedly...
"If I hadn’t visited that place, I might think so as well, but you also carry the compound surname ’Sikong.’
"That place also has many people with the compound surname ’Sikong...’ "
When the Holy Ancestor Tianxin was hiding on the edges of that hellish place, he heard voices of various people with the compound surname ’Sikong.’
Voices calling out Sikong something something, which further confirmed that Sikong Jing was from that place.
That’s right, the place the Holy Ancestor Tianxin spoke of is exactly where the Mold Ghost, according to Lady Li, died.
It was those people from Canghai Wujiang, pulled by the Lingtian Emperor Family to be flesh and blood bases for the array, just as Lady Li said. At that time, whoever bore the compound surname ’Sikong,’ regardless of their origin in Canghai, was directly pulled to serve as bases for the array.
All because of the hatred towards Sikong Jing’s father, implicating these innocent people.
And that so-called place was precisely the remnant of the Blood Demon Array where the Lingtian Emperor Family broke the Desert Sea Absolute Array...
"What place?"
Sikong Jing’s thoughts, which had been clear, turned chaotic again. What kind of place had so many people with the compound surname ’Sikong’?
"Pretend, you’re still pretending."
The Holy Ancestor Tianxin, extremely enraged, suddenly... swish swish swish.
Several streams of light were flung out fiercely, thrown toward where Sikong Jing’s voice was, precisely several tokens.
And Sikong Jing certainly wouldn’t reveal himself at this moment, instead directing several Little Demon Birds to nip these tokens swiftly, then flew out swiftly, going through numerous twists before landing in his hands.
No matter what, he couldn’t let the Holy Ancestor Tianxin capture his location.
And the moment the tokens were in his hand, Sikong Jing’s eyes slightly narrowed.
Although the designs of these tokens were different, all bore the word ’Sikong.’
These were, of course, taken from the bodies found on the edges of the Blood Demon Array remnants by the Holy Ancestor Tianxin.
The tokens represented the identities of those bodies...
But Sikong Jing still didn’t know this; he only looked at them with full confusion.
Simultaneously, the voice of the Holy Ancestor Tianxin sounded again...
"Still pretending? These should be the tokens left by your blood relatives, right?"
In the heart of the Holy Ancestor Tianxin, Sikong Jing was born from Canghai Wujiang.
Over a decade ago, he and his family were chased by the Sikong couple and pulled as bases for the array; he survived by chance and was sent to this Deserted Sea Forbidden Land, thus leading to the presence of the Third Grade Saint Body in there.
At this moment, he felt Sikong Jing could certainly not pretend anymore, since he saw tokens from deceased relatives.
And Sikong Jing remained silent, although he still couldn’t fully grasp it, he felt there hid something within.
At least he knew these tokens and the place spoken of by Holy Ancestor Tianxin certainly were not inside the Ancient Wilderness Forbidden Land... could it be these tokens came from his father’s familial relatives?
Implicated by his father, perhaps?
Yet the design of tokens varied, unknown for what reason.
After hesitating for a moment, Sikong Jing suddenly took a deep breath and asked, "Holy Ancestor Tianxin, what exactly do you want to do?"
He decided to stabilize first, make the best out of the wrong situation.
First, from the mouth of Holy Ancestor Tianxin, find out what kind of existence that place is, then consider the situation, if these people truly are his father’s family and suffered due to his father, then he must take action.
Debts from the father shall be paid by the son; he will do what should be done...
"Ah, finally willing to admit?"
Holy Ancestor Tianxin chuckled coldly, then opened his mouth frigidly, "I want you to take me to that place."
In response, Sikong Jing’s eyes gleamed brightly and he retorted, "Aren’t you afraid there might be someone in that place you cannot deal with?"
Sikong Jing casually asked, still probing...
"Afraid, of course I’m afraid."
"But I have no choice, and taking such risks to send you to the Deserted Sea Forbidden Land indicates you are their sole hope, and then... back then the Sikong couple also said they could only keep them temporarily alive."
"This can also prove, they have lost most of their combat strength."
With the words of Holy Ancestor Tianxin, Sikong Jing’s spirit was revitalized; did Holy Ancestor Tianxin actually make contact with his parents?
Actually, this too was what Holy Ancestor Tianxin heard distantly.
At that time, many many people died in that hellish place, but there were still stray words begging the Sikong couple to rescue them.
But the Sikong couple were facing chasers and powerless, merely saying they could keep them temporarily alive, not knowing how long they could last. Seemed they heard it would last up to at most a decade or two.
So Holy Ancestor Tianxin dared to force Sikong Jing... otherwise he wouldn’t dare go such an terrifying place.
Moreover, Holy Ancestor Tianxin had only a few years left to live, so he had no choice but to take the risk.
Yet Sikong Jing’s expression slightly changed, but the matters mentioned by Holy Ancestor Tianxin were still too little, so he couldn’t determine entirely. He still needed to know more...
Taking a deep breath, Sikong Jing in the shadows slowly said, "Holy Ancestor Tianxin, what if I don’t agree?"
He continued to make the best out of the wrong situation, now truly entering into a state of negotiation.
"If you don’t agree, everyone inside the Beiheng Sword Formation will die."
Holy Ancestor Tianxin’s voice cold and filled with tension, continued, "Maybe I can’t capture you now, but there are still many things I can threaten you with, and as just mentioned, I can team up with the Qianwang Holy Tower to wipe out your Overlord Commerce."
The voice carried monstrous killing intent, viciously sweeping in all directions.
Throughout the course of conversation and exploration, Holy Ancestor Tianxin truly had no assurance of capturing Sikong Jing, he damn couldn’t find him at all.
To this, Sikong Jing fell silent again, then he calmly replied, "I refuse!"
"What?"
Holy Ancestor Tianxin couldn’t believe it, shouted again malevolently, "Aren’t you afraid..."
Without waiting for him to finish, Sikong Jing interrupted coldly, "Of course I’m not afraid, if I’m guessing correctly, you too fear Pei Kuang would fight you over that place, so unless absolutely necessary, you wouldn’t team up with the Qianwang Holy Tower."
These words instantly made the Holy Ancestor Tianxin’s face change in surprise...
He undoubtedly has fear, because he too suspects Pei Kuang is pursuing that hellish place, hence the urgency to get hold of Sikong Jing.
Thinking of this, Holy Ancestor Tianxin growled lowly, "Aren’t you afraid of the Beiheng Sword Formation..."
Sikong Jing once again interrupted heavily, "Of course I’m not afraid either, my Grandpa Su’s Sword Array isn’t something anyone can attack down, and once I arrive, who could take down the Beiheng Sword Formation?"
His eyes gleamed brightly, still presenting an appearance of holding the favorable position in negotiation.
"You..."
Holy Ancestor Tianxin was momentarily tongue-tied, eventually speaking viciously, "Little Demon, don’t push me."
