Chapter 2088: Search Failed—What Did He Say?
Sikong Jing’s last words caused Fu Miaoling to stop trembling all over and suddenly lift her head. Would he really save her brother too?
"I really have to go. The next time we meet should be at the Qianwang Holy Tower. You’re a smart person, so you should understand what I’m talking about. Before heading to the Qianwang Holy Tower, you must try to protect the lives of the Fu Family."
"Of course, you must also remember."
"Our current conversation must absolutely not be known to the Qianwang Holy Tower, otherwise people like you and your brother will all die."
After speaking, Sikong Jing looked up towards the direction of the Holy Craftsman Mountain and disappeared instantly.
Then, as if space slightly twisted, he reappeared in the distance. It was Sikong Jing using the power of space folding on himself, and finally, he plunged into the lake with a splash.
He disappeared completely in front of Fu Miaoling.
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
And just as Sikong Jing entered the water, terrifying forces descended over the island, led by the Holy Craftsman Mountain Master, You Dan, and the strongmen of the Holy Craftsman Mountain.
They stood aloft in the air, fixated on the island’s scene of bloodshed.
Then You Dan’s Spiritual Shadow force roared out, "The Demon Master Sikong just went down to the lake. Seal off the entire Shuibo Lake and search."
Upon receiving the order, all strongmen of the Holy Craftsman Mountain rushed out, frantically searching the entire Shuibo Lake.
Of course, no one temporarily paid attention to Fu Miaoling, who stood in place, as her mind was in utter chaos.
"Sikong Jing already knew that my brother was locked in the Thousand Prison Tower. He knew even earlier that I was a chess piece of the Thousand Prison Tower..."
"So he came to find me, and he wants to save everyone inside the Thousand Prison Tower?"
"His target is the Thousand Prison Tower."
"He wants to lead chess pieces like me to attack the Qianwang Holy Tower? So, he can’t save me and the Fu Family now, otherwise, even if he saves us, we still can’t escape the control of the Qianwang Holy Tower."
Fu Miaoling, just like Sikong Jing said, her thoughts turned quickly, deducing everything from the previous events.
"But, why does he trust me so much? Isn’t he afraid that I will expose or betray him?"
Suddenly, her whole body trembled again as she said, "That’s right. He already knew my attitude of resistance against the Qianwang Holy Tower last night. He knows that I see the Qianwang Holy Tower like another terrifying abyss..."
Saying this, Fu Miaoling had already lifted her head, her gaze becoming resolutely firm.
"Sikong Jing, Demon Master Sikong, Young Master Sikong..."
"He is the only way out for me, my brother, and all the Fu Family. I must follow him... and fight to the end!"
Fu Miaoling roared continuously in her heart. At this moment, she was already determined.
She, during the time of playing the Stringless Song at the Lake, had naturally learned about Demon Master Sikong’s affairs. Besides his name, she had heard a lot about his deeds. When everyone was calling him a demon, only Fu Miaoling thought he wasn’t an evil person.
That’s why she wanted to join the Overlord Commerce, to find a way out without future troubles.
Then, Fu Miaoling murmured to herself, "Besides, he has already mastered the method of space folding from my Fu Family, so I’m already of no value to him. If he wants to help me, it’s just purely because he wants to help."
That is to say, Fu Miaoling didn’t have to worry that Sikong Jing just wanted to use her...
"And also..."
"As long as one Fu Family member is alive, we can ask him to teach the Fu Family the space folding technique. He should agree, right?"
Saying this, Fu Miaoling’s whole body trembled again.
The legendary Demon Master Sikong was simply too powerful. The secret of the Fu Family was learned by him just like that, but Fu Miaoling didn’t know why she didn’t feel any resentment, only admiration to the extreme.
Perhaps someone like Sikong Jing has already surpassed ordinary people.
Also, ordinary people couldn’t even muster anger?
Just like that, Fu Miaoling sat back down, undeterred by the pervasive smell of blood around her.
She was no longer confused and bewildered, her eyes filled only with incomparable determination. As for whether Sikong Jing could escape, Fu Miaoling didn’t worry at all. How could Demon Master Sikong possibly care about the Holy Craftsman Mountain?
Indeed, who knows how long passed... Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Mountain Master You Dan returned, along with You Yao and other Holy Craftsman Mountain strongmen. Their faces were extremely dark because they couldn’t find any trace of Sikong Jing.
And with them came the fleeing guests.
But now, there were only a few strong ones left that Sikong Jing hadn’t killed, and the only Venerable Fifth Realm powerhouse had returned; he hadn’t died in the lake.
But at this moment, he was already so badly injured that he could barely move.
At this time, the Venerable Fifth Realm rasped, "It’s too terrifying. If the Demon Master Sikong doesn’t die, he’ll definitely surpass Old Su Demon of the past."
Almost everyone nodded upon hearing these words...
However, at this time, You Dan ignored them and instead stared intently at the calm Fu Miaoling and asked, "What did Demon Master Sikong say to you? Why did he approach you?"
At this moment, You Dan was most worried about the secret of the Mechanical Messenger Bird.
But Fu Miaoling had already calmed down, and she softly laughed, "Mountain Master, wasn’t the Third Elder monitoring all night? Whatever I discussed with Demon Master Sikong, the Third Elder should have heard clearly, right?"
Regarding the Old Woman You Yao’s surveillance, Fu Miaoling naturally guessed it with Sikong Jing’s reminder.
However, You Dan’s face turned cold. You Yao hadn’t heard them speak at all; she had just been playing and listening to music.
Even so, You Dan still couldn’t believe it and asked, "He didn’t secretly find you before?"
He thought, Sikong Jing probably had secretly found Fu Miaoling already...
"Absolutely not, but just before leaving, he did say a few words to me." Fu Miaoling stated truthfully once again.
As soon as these words were uttered, before You Dan could speak, Old Woman You Yao had already asked, "What did he say?"
To this, Fu Miaoling calmly replied, "He said that my space power is very profound, and that after listening to a night’s worth of music, he could only slightly perceive a small aspect. He mentioned he would have another opportunity to visit and listen to more music..."
With these words, You Dan and others widened their eyes.
They were at a loss, and their bodies made cracking sounds. They knew that Sikong Jing had already discovered the secret of space folding. Such a terrifying presence of the Third Grade Saint Body must have perceived something upon hearing the stringless ethereal melody.
So, he still wanted to learn, to learn the power of space from the music.
Slap...
Suddenly, You Dan slapped Old Woman You Yao hard across the face, his entire old face turning red with anger.
And You Yao, in disbelief, asked, "Mountain Master, why did you hit me?"
At once, You Dan was even more infuriated and yelled, "Why shouldn’t I hit you? You said the Demon Master Sikong had something wrong, saying he listened to music all night? How could you not think he was comprehending the stuff in the Stringless Song?"
Upon these words, You Yao was utterly aggrieved. Who could think of this?
If you were in my place, could you think of it?
