Chapter 2005: Chapter 2005: Your Ants, My Brothers
Earlier, the situation at the Ba Lie Mansion was...
Ba Lie Venerable led his men and blocked Lang Yisuo and the others, while there was also Gong Ying, a First Level of Venerable, on the Divine Shuttle Ship. They could stop Sikong Jing from approaching Lang Yisuo and the others at any time.
As long as Ba Lie Venerable made a move to block Sikong Jing, Ju Dan’s whip would definitely land on Lang Yisuo.
But neither Ba Lie Venerable nor Gong Ying stopped Sikong Jing...
Instead, they allowed him to appear in front of Lang Yisuo.
This way, it would be very easy for Sikong Jing to rescue the hostages, which was quite strange no matter where you put it.
As Ba Lie Venerable spoke, Sikong Jing’s face showed no change, but he looked right back at him.
At this moment, Hua Lidian finally trembled and let out a nearly hoarse and inaudible voice: "Brother Sikong, there are traps around us, terrifying traps, you shouldn’t get close to us."
People like Elder Mo and Lang Zheng Zhi nodded heavily, each with increasingly grim expressions.
Now they finished the words that Lang Yisuo hadn’t completed earlier, but it seemed too late.
And Lang Yisuo also chimed in, saying, "Junior Brother Sikong, you shouldn’t have come. We are already insignificant to you now."
Hearing these words, Sikong Jing still said nothing and continued to stare at Ba Lie Venerable.
Finally, Sikong Jing said to the latter, "Ba Lie, I’ve already come to your Ba Lie Mansion, and my friends have all been taken hostage by you. Is it necessary for you to set such a trap for a little punk like me?"
Sikong Jing had already noticed the presence of traps around Lang Yisuo and the others.
But even if he knew, he would never let Lang Yisuo and the others suffer any more harm. Since these people suffered because of him, he was definitely going to rescue them.
And the reason Ba Lie Venerable and the others didn’t stop him is, of course: the terrifying traps.
To set traps centered around Lang Yisuo and others, and lure Sikong Jing in with Ju Dan’s whip.
As Sikong Jing finished speaking, Ba Lie Venerable immediately opened his mouth, then... hahaha!
He laughed endlessly, then coldly and eerily said, "You are indeed a little punk? But you are no ordinary punk. You are the real Commander of the terrifying Willow Leaf City war, even capable of killing Holy Martial Stage warriors."
"I’ve suffered at your hands several times, how could I not learn my lesson, how could I underestimate you?"
"If you don’t fall into the trap, you might find a way to notify Murong Jianyun and others, and I can’t afford to take that risk."
These words showed how seriously Ba Lie Venerable took Sikong Jing...
Even though Sikong Jing came to Ba Lie Mansion without playing any tricks, and even though he came alone, Ba Lie Venerable still had to lead Sikong Jing into the trap to be at ease.
He was truly scared!
When Murong Jianyun returned from Willow Leaf City and talked to the Overlord Army about Sikong Jing’s achievements.
Ba Lie Venerable was terrified, this was simply inhuman.
Resurrection, Horror Soldier Kill Formation, defeating Young Master Qianwang, and other incidents made Ba Lie Venerable extremely cautious.
In fact, he might have been overly cautious.
But as Gong Ying said, half of the Overlord Commerce is now under Sikong Jing’s command. In Overlord City, dealing with Sikong Jing requires this approach; otherwise, it would easily lead to total ruin.
Thinking about it, Ba Lie Venerable’s whole body trembled, but he soon looked up with a sinister smile...
"I just didn’t expect, as Ju Dan said, just one whip would lure you into the trap."
"Earlier, I made a bet with Ju Dan, she bet one whip would lead you into the trap, but I didn’t believe it."
"She said you’re so loyal that you’re almost stupid, but I still didn’t really believe it... I even thought that when you knew we captured these people, you wouldn’t easily come to my Ba Lie Mansion."
"Even if you did come, it would only be because you were confident enough, not because you were foolish."
"After all, to you, these people are just ants."
Ba Lie Venerable’s words now were the reason Ju Dan had just claimed credit.
She previously said that Sikong Jing would definitely irrationally rush to save Lang Yisuo and others, but Ba Lie Venerable felt that Sikong Jing was already so terrifying, he shouldn’t do this for these people.
No matter how good brothers and friends once were, in front of the current Sikong Jing they had already become mere ants.
Would Sikong Jing really go crazy and act foolish for them?
Would he ignore everything for them? Would he abandon the bigger picture for them?
In Ba Lie Venerable’s thinking, he believed that ordinary people couldn’t possibly do this; sacrifices must be made when necessary.
But now the facts had proven that Ju Dan was right.
At this time, Ba Lie Venerable continued, "I really didn’t expect that for a few ants, you wouldn’t care for your own life."
As he said this, he laughed disdainfully...
Beside him, Ju Dan was already holding her head high, looking as if she had accomplished a great feat. She had studied Sikong Jing’s character deeply in order to avenge her daughter Ren Dongmeng, clearly knowing how much Sikong Jing valued loyalty.
She couldn’t help but say coldly again, "If it weren’t for the Long Night Empire suddenly learning the Soldier Killing Array and the like, I would’ve brought some more of his important friends over, and that would have surely been more thrilling."
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing’s eyes flashed with a chilling light while he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Evidently, bringing Lang Yisuo and others was Ju Dan’s unilateral action.
It wasn’t authorized by Ba Lie Venerable. She went alone to the East Plain Northern Land, originally targeting the Long Night Empire, but because of the Soldier Killing Array he left behind, she couldn’t win and had to give up.
Later, not resigned, she targeted the East Plain Northern Land Tyrant Branch.
So the people brought now were all from the East Plain Northern Land Tyrant Branch.
This meant that the hostages Ba Lie Venerable controlled were only Lang Yisuo and the others.
Thinking of this, Sikong Jing raised his head again and replied word by word, "What are ants to you are brothers and friends to me."
As soon as he said this, Lang Yisuo and the others trembled uncontrollably...
Elder Mo and Elder Ge teared up, grateful for once supporting Sikong Jing.
Lang Zheng Zhi trembled and said, "Brother Sikong, your words are enough. We can die without regret. Hurry and find a way to leave; don’t worry about our lives anymore."
In response, Sikong Jing did not turn back, just gently shook his head without saying a word.
"Very good, very good indeed!"
Ba Lie Venerable displayed no emotion, even loudly mocking.
But then he coldly sneered, "Since you’ve entered my trap, how could you possibly escape... activate it for me!"
Roar...
Following Ba Lie Venerable’s words, suddenly a barrier like fiery flames erupted centered around this wall, filled everywhere with Emperor’s Artifacts, precisely a Fiery Fire Barrier created by combining Emperor’s Artifacts and Array Artifacts.
Such a barrier completely surrounded Sikong Jing and Lang Yisuo and others.
And Ba Lie Venerable remained outside the barrier, coldly saying, "Sikong the little beast, even Emperor Realm would need a long time to break through my barrier, you’re finished."
