Chapter 1909: No One in Sight, Northern City Arena
Chapter 1909: No One in Sight, Northern City Arena
"What’s the situation inside the wall now?"
Sikong Jing was naturally still a bit worried at this moment, but he couldn’t and shouldn’t go back inside. Now, he probably needed to move even further away from the Holy Wall to ensure complete safety.
Just then, a vast voice once again entered his mind...
"The gate is closed, but you can’t enter the wall for now. The refiner Heavenly Emperor’s perception is about to descend; quickly hide all your presence and blend into the crowd or beast group, don’t use any power for now."
"And I’m about to disappear. You must win, you must..."
With these words, the vast voice gradually disappeared from Sikong Jing’s mind.
Sikong Jing’s entire body trembled slightly...
He certainly knew that the previous Master of Ten Thousand Beasts’ intent within Little Bone completely vanished at this moment.
Not daring to slack off, Sikong Jing also couldn’t afford to worry about the situation inside the Holy Wall; he could only once again flash away, further distancing himself from the Holy Wall Forbidden Land.
He needed to quickly blend into the crowd or beast group.
The best choice was certainly the crowd; beasts would be watched or observed, but the crowd definitely wouldn’t...
Yet at this moment, Sikong Jing was astonished to find that the entire Willow Leaf Saint Manor was almost empty, and for now, he didn’t dare to reveal even the slightest hint of intent or presence, thus unable to sense the surroundings.
Therefore, Sikong Jing could only swiftly flash away, leaving Willow Leaf Saint Manor.
Soon after, he finally heard dense sounds of people in Willow Leaf City, right in the northern direction of the city.
Quickly advancing, Sikong Jing finally saw throngs of people continuously heading towards the northern part of Willow Leaf City. He let out a sigh of relief, then with a flash, he blended into the crowd, completely hiding his presence within.
At this moment, he became just like an inconspicuous little figure within the crowd.
Subsequently, Sikong Jing hurriedly pulled someone aside and asked quietly, "Excuse me, has something major happened in Willow Leaf City?"
About a day and a half had passed since he entered the Holy Wall, yet not a single person was present in the Holy Wall or Willow Leaf Saint Manor. Yue Xi was not there, Split Armor Flying Scorpion was not there, which certainly worried Sikong Jing.
One must know, without using power, even the Message Bird cannot be sent out recklessly.
And now almost everyone in the city was continually moving towards the north, leaving Sikong Jing puzzled.
The person Sikong Jing pulled was slightly stunned, staring at him incredulously...
"You must have just entered the city, right?"
"At this time entering the city, you simply..."
The conversation did not continue, but the underlying implication was clear: Willow Leaf City is now in grave peril, at the critical moment of life and death, entering the city now is like walking into a trap.
Except for those who just entered the city, who doesn’t know what has happened in Willow Leaf City now?
Finally, this person still explained in detail to Sikong Jing...
With his explanation, flashes of lightning raced through Sikong Jing’s mind, piecing together all the situations.
"Pei Yupo has openly returned, Ye Wushen directly defected and once again wants to send Yue Xi away under the name of an alliance, Yue Xi doesn’t want to leave and challenges Pei Yupo..."
"Moreover, the bet battle arena is set in the north of Willow Leaf City."
"That is, the Imperial Dragon Mountain troops arriving at the northern city area also want to witness this bet battle."
Sikong Jing gradually understood the ins and outs of the situation, and naturally knew that everyone from Willow Leaf Saint Manor had gone to Willow Leaf North City to watch the battle, and now the people of Willow Leaf City were heading north.
They also wanted to watch this bet battle concerning the fate of Willow Leaf City.
At this time, the person explaining sighed again...
"I don’t know what Madam Sikong is thinking. How can she possibly defeat that damned Pei Yupo? He is, after all, Young Master Qianwang. We might be witnessing her ultimate demise."
Clearly, this person didn’t understand why Su Yuexi was engaging in a bet battle, knowingly walking into an inevitable loss.
Just then, someone nearby chimed in: "Her ultimate demise would be preferable, just afraid of what Pei Yupo might..."
Saying this, the person’s eyes turned bloodshot, unable to finish.
Who doesn’t know that it’s Sikong Jing who really saves Willow Leaf City? Who doesn’t know that Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi were engaged a few days ago? Who harbors any desire to see Madam Sikong humiliated by the enemy?
Then, a third person approached...
"Madam Sikong has gone mad; she refuses to believe that Great Judge Sikong is dead and is still waiting for his return."
"She believes as long as she delays time, Great Judge Sikong will come back."
The person’s words cast a sad expression on the faces of those proceeding northward, all thinking that Madam Sikong, even though she’s gone mad, is waiting for Great Judge Sikong."
At this moment, a fourth person asked, "Is Madam Sikong not delaying time so that Murong Datian Decision can recover?"
Upon hearing this, those in the know shook their heads heavily...
Then they discussed amongst themselves how Pei Yupo saw through her delaying tactic, deliberately arranging for Pei Chang and Murong Jianyun to spar, deliberately sending three Emperors up against Beicang and Xi Tu, wounding them further!
"Originally, Beicang and Xi Tu Heavenly Decision were unbeatable, but Ye Wushen, that scoundrel, really joined in."
"He teamed up with the three Emperors from Qianwang Holy Tower, injuring both the Domineering Heavenly Decision Makers from Beicang and Xi Tu, making the situation extremely unfavorable for Overlord Commerce."
Following this person’s words, others chimed in...
"It’s more than that, this Chang Sanghuang even went ahead to negotiate with Imperial Dragon Mountain; now Imperial Dragon Mountain is standing by Qianwang Holy Tower."
"It’s over, Overlord Commerce is truly finished, who knows what fate awaits us?"
Sikong Jing walked along, absorbing all sorts of chaotic voices around him, gaining clarity on the developments over the past two hours—namely that a few hours ago Yue Xi challenged Pei Yupo to a bet battle...
And Murong Jianyun and Beicang Xitu were severely wounded again during these few hours within Willow Leaf Saint Manor.
As for the bottomless pit that is Willow Leaf Saint Manor, Sikong Jing didn’t feel much...
If he hadn’t been sucked into the Holy Wall, his first action after the war certainly would have targeted Ye Wushen.
Unfortunately, he was sucked into the Holy Wall, and Murong Jianyun and the others didn’t understand Ye Wushen deeply enough to eliminate or capture them after the war...
This led to the current situation, giving Pei Yupo the opportunity to take advantage.
However, Sikong Jing suddenly smiled slightly, murmuring, "Yue Xi, nicely done!"
Others might not see it, but Sikong Jing certainly could.
This bet battle by Yue Xi wasn’t betting on Murong Jianyun’s recovery, nor was it betting on how fast he could return.
She was betting on: Willow Leaf City, the entire populace being mobilized!
Taking a deep breath, Sikong Jing looked back towards the direction of Willow Leaf Holy Wall, then continued to disguise himself as the most ordinary person, proceeding towards the arena in the north of Willow Leaf City.
The bet battle hadn’t started yet, Sikong Jing didn’t have to rush for now, evading the possible appearance of the Heavenly Emperor’s intent was the top priority.
