Chapter 2003: Chapter 2003: Ba Lie’s Grand Gift, an Unexpected Delight
"Hahaha..."
Gong Ying couldn’t help but laugh a few times. Then she squinted her eyes and said, "Ming Yan, Gong Yi, you three follow me and keep a close watch on him."
She then turned to Sikong Jing: "Remember, as soon as there’s any movement, you’ll all be dead."
In response, Ming Yan and Gong Yi had already stood up.
Their faces, swollen like pig heads, stared at Sikong Jing with a coldness filled with murder and smugness.
But now they were very calm because once Sikong Jing reached Ba Lie Mansion, it would be his death day.
Then they could repay all the humiliation a hundredfold.
Thus, the small Divine Shuttle Ship where Gong Ying was standing slowly ascended, heading directly towards Ba Lie Mansion, and all four, including Gong Ying, were fixated on Sikong Jing, not allowing him any chance for tricks...
Sikong Jing didn’t move and stood quietly on the deck, with no one knowing what he was thinking for the moment.
On the street below...
Su Yuexi was closely tracking the Divine Shuttle Ship that had already gone afar, while a disciple of Mieqing Venerable next to her asked, "Wen Xi, should we immediately inform Mieqing Venerable and Wen Ge, or notify others at Overlord Commerce?"
They were aware that the situation seemed rather unpromising...
Upon hearing this, Su Yuexi gently shook her head and said, "Don’t worry. My Brother Jing will be alright."
"Now the opening sale time for the first batch of the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array is approaching. Let’s go there and meet with Mieqing Venerable and Wen Ge, and then we’ll wait for my Brother Jing to return..."
The women were stunned on the spot after hearing this; Su Yuexi was just too calm!
...
Outside Overlord City, Xianwu Town.
A flamboyant Divine Shuttle Ship slowly descended, emblazoned with the words "Wenxiang".
It was the Divine Shuttle Ship of Wenxiang Pavilion.
They were right behind Sikong Jing, arriving at Overlord City.
As soon as the Divine Shuttle Ship landed, Xiong Tingting felt a sudden shock throughout her body, sensing something, and then she deeply concealed the True Qi within her while whispering orders, "Everyone head back to the cabin immediately and do not come out..."
Upon hearing this, all the Wenxiang girls swiftly entered the cabin.
In the next moment... whoosh!
A black shadow seemed to slowly spin in front of Xiong Tingting before forming a figure shrouded entirely in black clothes.
Upon seeing the face of the newcomer, Xiong Tingting trembled slightly and immediately saluted, "Xiong Tingting greets the Master of Dark Tower."
The person was none other than Qian Ta, the Master of Dark Tower, of Qianwang Holy Tower’s Holy Martial Stage.
He had arrived ahead of Pei Yuguang and Lady Li outside Overlord City at Xianwu Town.
Because he had a task to complete, and being the Tower Master of Thousand Prison Tower, nearly all the pieces of Thousand Prison Tower were under his control.
Upon hearing Xiong Tingting, Qian Ta scrutinized her from head to toe and suddenly sighed, "Xianwu Town, Emperor Yu Xian and Venerable Yu Shan were killed here by Su Old Demon remnants, it’s truly lamentable."
Having said that, Qian Ta suddenly raised his head and said, "Then let us start here, let Overlord Commerce know true terror and despair, thereby comforting Emperor Yu Xian and Venerable Yu Shan’s souls in heaven..."
He then continued, "Are you prepared for the mission?"
Xiong Tingting slowly raised her head and replied, "I am prepared, but I fear I may not return alive; could Lord Qian Ta allow me to see my daughter one last time? Even if just through the Reflected Light Mirror."
She certainly knew that since Young Master Sikong had promised, she would surely survive.
But now, she had to display immense grief and a frantic desire to see her daughter... or rather, it wasn’t entirely an act, as she hadn’t seen her daughter for several years.
Whoosh...
As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Ta suddenly extended his hand, and immediately a slender figure leapt into his embrace.
She was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, tightly held by Qian Ta...
This girl had a seven to eight-point resemblance to Xiong Tingting, and was similarly enchanting to the core.
In that instant, Xiong Tingting stood dazed, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face: "Darling, my darling..."
The girl was none other than Xiong Tingting’s daughter.
And as Xiong Tingting called out, the girl’s pretty face pale, trembled as she spoke, "Mother, mom!"
In her early childhood, Xiong Tingting’s daughter was captured by Qianwang Holy Tower, locked away in Thousand Prison Tower.
They had encounters, as every few years Qianwang Holy Tower allowed them to meet, calling the pieces of Thousand Prison Tower back one by one to deepen their fear and impression.
There was always emotional manipulation and attacks of familial bonds...
The former darling, the former girl, had now bloomed into a beauty.
Yet she lay in Qian Ta’s arms, unable to struggle, or perhaps wanting to struggle but utterly powerless...
At this moment, Xiong Tingting could barely resist rushing forward, even wanting to erupt with all her True Qi, but her mind was swiftly filled with the image of Sikong Jing, causing her to suppress herself.
She absolutely couldn’t expose her Venerable Realm aura right now; so she took only two steps forward, forcibly standing still.
Seeing this, Qian Ta sneered and said, "Not bad, you can still recognize your status... I am short of a woman to serve me on this trip to Overlord City, so I’ll take your daughter to serve me day and night."
These words, even to Xiong Tingting who was accustomed to life in dust, were enough to make her body tremble uncontrollably.
She could turn into a devil, transform into anything, even a fierce ghost, but her daughter... absolutely not!
Yet she dared not express her rage.
Seeing Xiong Tingting’s appearance, Qian Ta lightly said, "I’ve shown mercy by allowing you to see your daughter; shouldn’t you thank me?"
Xiong Tingting immediately knelt down, kowtowing in gratitude, but tears fell onto the deck, softly echoing...
Qian Ta was quite satisfied and nodded, saying, "I’ve received intelligence that Murong Jianyun has agreed to Pei Xie’s request and will soon send someone over to find you, to serve Pei Xie..."
"Remember, you must kill!"
"If not completed..." He paused, then grabbed three fingers of Xiong Tingting’s daughter and said, "I will tear these three beautiful fingers apart before you."
"As for the reward upon completion, you’re already aware, so I won’t elaborate."
Amidst the heavy threats, Xiong Tingting could only agree and pledge to complete the mission.
And suddenly... swish!
A Message Bird abruptly landed on Qian Ta’s hand, prompting him to unfurl the letter and read.
After finishing, he laughed heartily: "This Ba Lie Venerable is quite something; the gift of allegiance he offers is even better... He’s actually planning to give me the Soul Dominator’s Heir alive, what a delightful surprise."
His words fell, causing Xiong Tingting, who was kneeling on the ground, to tremble incessantly, her lowered head filled with panic.
Something had gone wrong on Young Master Sikong’s side?
Unaware of Xiong Tingting’s condition, Qian Ta continued, "It seems I must go now to receive such a grand gift; you can wait here for someone from Overlord Commerce to come, rest assured I will take good care of your daughter..."
Saying so, Qian Ta transformed into a wisp of black smoke and vanished.
