Chapter 2006: Chapter 2006: Space Holy Key, Suppressing Emperor Artifact
Before Sikong Jing could reply, Ba Lie Venerable ordered coldly, "But just in case, come, nock your arrows!"
The air was filled with a rustling sound...
Following Ba Lie Venerable’s command, his subordinates took out their bows, aiming straight at Sikong Jing.
Many arrows were also aimed at Lang Yisuo and the others.
Around Ba Lie Mansion’s courtyard, there was also a second layer of barrier array. It ensured that the aura of Ba Lie Mansion wouldn’t leak out and be sensed by the likes of Murong Jianyun...
After everything was set, Ba Lie Venerable added, "Sikong the little beast, you’re trapped with no way out."
At this moment, even Gong Yi and Ming Yan, along with the others, were all stunned. Such a terrifying setup, there’s no way out even if you could fly like a bird or dig into the ground.
Indeed, not even Ming Yan and the others knew that Ba Lie Venerable had prepared such a horrifying setup.
He took Sikong Jing this seriously.
"This is the consequence for meddling with a few small ants. Do you regret it now?"
"Hahaha..."
"Even the Qianwang Holy Tower couldn’t deal with him, but I did."
Ba Lie Venerable laughed loudly again, looking as if he already had Sikong Jing in his grasp while both he and Gong Ying and the others watched Sikong Jing, anticipating his frantic reaction...
But none came...
Despite the terrifying situation around him, Sikong Jing’s expression remained blank, still calm and composed.
At this moment, he even slowly turned around and then... slice, slice, slice!
Sikong Jing immediately acted, cutting the fly shackles off Lang Yisuo and everyone else, letting them fall to the ground, then quickly cast the Duoye Seal on them...
In just a blink of an eye, Lang Yisuo and the others’ torn flesh quickly healed, and their wounds rapidly scabbed over.
In an instant, they were nearly completely restored to their original state.
Such a scene was shocking!
And Sikong Jing’s Duoye Seal was that terrifying. It couldn’t quickly heal Murong Jianyun and Beicang, but it could for Lang Yisuo and the others.
Don’t forget, Murong Jianyun is at the Holy Martial Stage.
While those around him now are only at the Martial Battle Stage, and Lang Yisuo had just reached the Martial Battle Stage.
Outside the Fiery Fire Barrier, Ba Lie Venerable was also incredibly shocked at the scene, but he immediately sneered, "Sikong the little beast, what’s the use of saving these people now?"
He couldn’t comprehend why Sikong Jing did something so futile, but soon seemed to realize something, understanding suddenly...
"Oh, I get it, you can’t bear to see them suffer, can you?"
"I just found out that you, a dignified Soul Dominator’s heir and possibly Su Old Demon’s heir, can be soft-hearted to this extent."
"Had I known, I would have sent people to the East Plain Northern Land to capture these people."
Indeed, many of Ba Lie Venerable’s and even Sikong Jing’s enemies never thought that Sikong Jing could be so sentimental, so they never considered East Plain Northern Land.
They naturally assumed that Sikong Jing wouldn’t care about these ants’ lives.
Only Ju Dan figured it out after much research and acted accordingly.
Faced with this, Sikong Jing didn’t reply, but instead looked back at Ba Lie Venerable, then slowly asked, "It seems you’re only aiming to trap me; this Fiery Fire Barrier seems to have no offensive capability?"
Said this, Sikong Jing’s eyes narrowed...
Before Ba Lie Venerable could speak, he continued, "You’re daring to make a move against me in Overlord City, and even Gong Ying openly lured me away in front of many people, so it seems you’re prepared to leave Overlord City."
"If I’m not mistaken, you, Ba Lie, want me alive and intend to use me as a bargaining chip with Qianwang Holy Tower."
Sikong Jing’s voice clearly penetrated from inside the barrier...
When he followed Gong Ying onto the small Divine Shuttle Ship, he had considered this issue. Gong Ying was in such a hurry to lead him here in public on the street; if he died, Murong Jianyun would certainly trace it back.
If they intended to kill him, Ba Lie Venerable should have notified him covertly.
So they’re not planning to kill but to keep him alive.
"And you’re not worried about investigations later, there’s only one possibility, you plan to betray Overlord Commerce."
Sikong Jing spoke each word clearly, "And I’m not unnoticed upon returning to Overlord City. Murong Datian Decision will definitely investigate my situation soon since I haven’t reported to the Inner City..."
"So the betrayal must be swift."
"You’d have to turn me over to Qianwang Holy Tower promptly and then leave with them, so they’ll soon come to collect you and will take me alive..."
Following Sikong Jing’s conjecture, Ba Lie Venerable was stunned, while Gong Ying and the others were left gawking.
After a while... clap, clap, clap.
Ba Lie Venerable couldn’t help but genuinely applaud...
He nodded and sighed deeply, "Truly impressive, you deduced all my intentions just from the current situation... you’re right, someone will soon come to take us, and of course, you too."
"When I learned about the battle in Willow Leaf City, I knew I couldn’t stay in Overlord City any longer."
"I, naturally, have to turn to the Qianwang Holy Tower."
"Even without you, I still must turn to Qianwang Holy Tower. I wouldn’t foolishly clash with Murong Jianyun head-on."
The meaning was clear: Overlord Commerce and Qianwang Holy Tower are not even on the same level, it would be like striking a stone with an egg, so even if he never had any conflicts with Sikong Jing, he certainly wouldn’t go crazy with Overlord Commerce.
Not long ago, Qianwang Holy Tower contacted him, asking him to betray Overlord Commerce.
Ba Lie Venerable nearly agreed without a second thought, coincidentally, Ju Dan came with Lang Yisuo and others to offer a plan.
After considering it, he immediately devised the plan to "seek wealth amidst danger."
That is the current scene, using the living Sikong Jing to pledge allegiance, thus securing a high position in Qianwang Holy Tower.
Ba Lie Venerable spoke again, heavily, "It’s risky, but I must take this gamble, and I’ve succeeded."
He did wager a lot, as long as it wasn’t as Ju Dan said, as long as Sikong Jing didn’t care about Lang Yisuo’s fate, then Ba Lie would be in an extremely dangerous situation, but now he’s succeeded.
Yet what answered him was Sikong Jing’s suddenly ice-cold voice, "Are you sure, you’ve succeeded?"
These words immediately gave chills to Gong Ying and the others...
Ba Lie Venerable however, took a heavy step forward, "Is it possible with such an arrangement, you can still break through it?"
He, of course, didn’t believe it.
But Sikong Jing slowly replied, "Originally, I wanted to play with you slowly, but since Qianwang Holy Tower’s people are about to arrive, I can’t delay any longer, and must break your setup immediately..."
Here, Sikong Jing suddenly slowly drew out a mysterious-looking big key.
It was indeed the Space Holy Key!
He gently grasped the Holy Key and said, "This is a Holy Artifact, although it hasn’t yet fully acknowledged me as its master, I spent time on the return journey exploring various aspects, finally gaining a sliver of the Holy Artifact’s power."
As his voice fell, Ba Lie Venerable looked incredulously at the Space Holy Key, was this a Holy Artifact?
He actually saw a Holy Artifact, this was his first time...
Before Ba Lie Venerable could react, Sikong Jing shouted again heavily, "Holy Artifact, suppress the Emperor’s Artifact."
Buzz...
With Sikong Jing’s words, the Space Holy Key suddenly emitted a faint white light, then the light hit the Fiery Fire Barrier, turning into white snake-like electric arcs along the barrier.
The electric arcs flashed and then drilled into the bases of the Fiery Fire Barrier, namely onto each Emperor’s Artifact.
