Chapter 2099: Please Guide Me Forward
Sikong Jing’s voice was calm yet not soft, immediately freezing the gazes of the East Dominator core figures. Someone was blocking the path ahead?
And it’s... a top-level emperor?
That’s right, besides Sikong Jing, no one from the East Dominator could sense someone was blocking their way.
As the crowd was just about to react... swoosh!
A tall figure had already appeared on the main ship of the Divine Shuttle where Sikong Jing was.
This man, on the surface, appeared slightly old, being over a hundred years old, yet still possessed an incredibly fierce aura.
As soon as he appeared on the ship, he quietly faced Sikong Jing, who was wearing a mask, while at the same time the core figures of the East Dominator Branch had drawn their weapons and pointed them at him.
Each one was extremely vigilant, their mood tense to the extreme. After all, this was a terrifying top-level emperor.
A few breaths later...
The tall man finally spoke slowly: "Demon Master Sikong, you have quite the nerve."
This was, of course, referring to Sikong Jing’s earlier words... friend drinks, enemy rolls or dies.
In response, Sikong Jing calmly replied: "Do I need to repeat myself? I am the Dark Wing Commander of the East Dominator Branch... and my confidence has always been high, after all, I have soldiers, even a top-level emperor would be ineffective."
The Soldier Killing Array provided the opportunity for those with lower realms to challenge the strong, hence Sikong Jing was naturally fearless.
Upon hearing this, the tall man’s gaze once again focused on Sikong Jing, and he coldly said, "Then why haven’t you immediately deployed the Soldier Killing Array Pattern? Aren’t you afraid I might instantly strike and kill you?"
After extinguishing the united force’s soldiers, Sikong Jing naturally also dismantled the Soldier Killing Array Pattern.
And now, even when faced with the presence of a top-level emperor, Sikong Jing surprisingly showed no intention of immediately deploying the Soldier Killing Array Pattern, which obviously puzzled and confused the tall man, especially given the extremely close proximity...
For a top-level emperor like him, launching an attack or even killing Sikong Jing wasn’t difficult.
Sikong Jing wouldn’t have time to deploy the Soldier Killing Array Pattern.
Faced with the tall man’s question, Sikong Jing still chuckled softly and replied: "I haven’t deployed the Soldier Killing Array Pattern simply because I’m not afraid of your instant attack. Being a top-level emperor doesn’t mean you can instantly kill me."
Such confidence was incredibly bold, causing the tall man’s pupils to continuously contract, with a slight impulse to test it.
He really found it hard to believe...
In the area battle, Sikong Jing was just a talented young man filled with potential, yet now, in such a short time, he can fend off a top-level emperor’s instant kill, how could anyone easily believe this?
However, ultimately the tall man held back, choosing not to act.
And Sikong Jing continued: "Moreover, I also said earlier, if you are a friend, then come aboard for a drink. Since you boarded the ship, you aren’t here to kill me, am I right?"
Sikong Jing’s tone was calm and steady, initially emphasizing his fearlessness, then responding in a way that unveiled the tall man’s non-hostile intentions, thereby holding all the initiative.
Indeed, Sikong Jing’s terrifying fierce beast intuition was certainly capable of discerning whether the other party harbored murderous intentions.
The result, naturally, was none at all.
Following Sikong Jing’s words, the tall man continued to stare intently at Sikong Jing, finally sighing lightly: "Truly worthy of being Demon Master Sikong. Can you guess who I am? Can you guess my purpose for blocking you?"
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing’s face under the mask broke into a smile...
"Golden Tiger Emperor of the Hundred Tigers Holy Cave, if I recall correctly, this should be our third encounter."
"The first time, you intervened in the area battle because of Chang Ao, intimidating the entire scene on my behalf. The second time, you wanted to capture me and take me to your Hundred Tigers Holy Cave to obtain my Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array..."
Sikong Jing had naturally already guessed the identity of the tall man before him.
Back when he was leaving Hanluan City after the area battle, Golden Tiger Emperor had once attempted to make a move to keep him.
But neither time did they truly engage.
At that time, Sikong Jing even used a small demonic monkey to deceive Golden Tiger Emperor, escaping from Hanluan City.
And it was through Venerable Ba Lian that Sikong Jing learned that the top-level emperor back then came from the Hundred Tigers Holy Cave... As the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, Sikong Jing certainly couldn’t forget the scent of Golden Tiger Emperor.
"As for your purpose in seeking me, it’s nothing but wanting to obtain the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation."
Sikong Jing watched Golden Tiger Emperor’s expression change, then continued softly: "It’s also about knowing what choice you should make for the future of your Hundred Tigers Holy Cave, wanting to find the direction from me."
Currently, various top-level forces on the Central Plains are very bewildered, many with no choice but to make a decision.
The Hundred Tigers Holy Cave in the Central Plains East is the same...
In such a situation, keeping to oneself is almost impossible, perhaps plausible, but after chaotic warfare, there’s a high chance of immediate deterioration. After all, regardless of whether Overlord or Qianwang wins, they might seek retribution afterward.
Moreover...
Everyone is now vying for the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation, purchasing the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array.
To isolate oneself and hide away, when other forces have these terrifying Soldier Killing Arrays, what would they have to fight with? Being engulfed and declining is almost a certain outcome.
Golden Tiger Emperor continued to stare at Sikong Jing, deeply shocked in his heart, all of which the latter had accurately predicted.
Demon Master Sikong, truly terrifying.
Finally, he took a deep breath, directly asking, "Then, can you give me a direction to choose?"
Golden Tiger Emperor was indeed very bewildered, genuinely finding it difficult to decide.
"If you want to immediately obtain the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation from me, then announce opposition to Qianwang Holy Tower."
Sikong Jing spoke directly, then continued: "If you don’t want to make an immediate choice but still wish to obtain the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation, then carry some Light Core Crystals and break through Qianwang Holy Tower’s blockade on Overlord City to purchase and grab..."
The above are, two options...
Support Overlord Commerce, then you can immediately obtain some of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation. Those who dare not support can only resort to grabbing.
"If you believe that Qianwang Holy Tower is unbeatable and that my Overlord Commerce is bound to fail, then join Qianwang Holy Tower."
"But you won’t be able to obtain the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation, at least not in the near future."
"Unless we lose."
With Sikong Jing’s incredibly calm words, Golden Tiger Emperor still stood upright, his expression continuously changing.
Actually, he had considered this, but it was truly hard to achieve.
Finally, Golden Tiger Emperor thought of something and asked quietly, "Where does your ambition lie? Would you, after defeating Qianwang Holy Tower, engulf the entire Central Plains, leaving us as slaves or dogs?"
"I need a reason for you being different from Qianwang Holy Tower."
It’s still that point, everyone knows Qianwang Holy Tower’s ambition.
If Qianwang Holy Tower wins, even a top-level emperor is almost destined to be treated as a dog, some are willing, some are not, some fear Qianwang Holy Tower, some are merely concerned about their sect rather than truly afraid.
Golden Tiger Emperor, of course, is the latter...
Staring at Golden Tiger Emperor, Sikong Jing said: "Do you think my ambition lies in the Central Plains? What I’m aiming for is the ultimate pinnacle of Martial Arts... Holy Martial, Divine Martial, and even higher realms in Martial Arts."
