Chapter 2014: Chapter 2014: Escort Pei Xie to the Upper City Tower
The sudden emergence of the Soldier Killing Array energy at Ba Lie Mansion is indeed the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation, definitely unleashed by Sikong Jing.
It’s certain that Ba Lie Venerable was audacious enough to make a move on Sikong Jing...
Back then, before Murong Jianyun left Overlord City for Willow Leaf City, he had already instructed Earth Decision Maker Yu Liman to monitor each of the Venerables and investigate if any were affiliated with the Qianwang Holy Tower.
In the past few days upon Murong Jianyun’s return, Yu Liman replied: aside from Nanfeng, Ba Lie Venerable is the most suspicious.
Putting it all together, Murong Jianyun can certainly surmise the situation.
Ba Lie Venerable is very likely trying to hand over Sikong Jing in allegiance!
Just as Murong Jianyun was preparing to charge towards Ba Lie Mansion, he received a message bird, precisely a transmission from Sikong Jing.
He was instructed not to interfere with the matters at Ba Lie Mansion, causing Murong Jianyun’s expression to change, filled with doubt and uncertainty. Shortly after, he and others in the Heavenly Decision Hall heard Sikong Jing’s shout: Ba Lie, where are you running to!
At this moment, a deathly silence pervaded the Heavenly Decision Hall...
The Heavenly Decision and Earth Decision Makers exchanged glances, each focusing intently on Murong Jianyun, who had already risen.
"What is happening here?" Dongwu suddenly broke the silence, looking towards Murong Jianyun.
In fact, they had been observing Murong Jianyun all along...
Watching his anger, then his contemplation after receiving a message bird, leading to his now relaxed expression, completely perplexed.
Suddenly, a second voice sounded tyrannically: "I know, surely the Soul Dominator’s Heir is back for personal vendetta, he has actually brought soldiers to besiege Ba Lie Mansion and is now pursuing Ba Lie Venerable."
Among all the Heavenly Decision and Earth Decision Makers present, aside from Nanfeng Tianjue, none could utter such words.
Yet Nanfeng is unaware that his treasured grandson, Nan Hedun, has already perished inside Ba Lie Mansion.
Listening to Nanfeng’s shouts, everyone turned their gaze towards him.
Since Murong Jianyun and others returned from Willow Leaf City, Nanfeng has been dissenting, constantly saying they can’t confront the Qianwang Holy Tower, insisting on seeking forgiveness from them...
After being severely reprimanded and taught a lesson by Murong Jianyun, he could only pretend to comply and support standing up against the Qianwang Holy Tower.
After all, opponents who were too harsh were stripped of their status by Murong Jianyun...
Yet now, Nanfeng finally seized the opportunity to denounce Sikong Jing, accusing him of settling personal scores, everyone knows Sikong Jing emerged from the East Dominator Branch and holds grudges against Ba Lie Venerable.
Meeting everyone’s gaze...
Nanfeng raised his head and puffed out his chest, continuing: "Isn’t it true? First there was the aura of the Soldier Killing Array, then the shout to pursue Ba Lie Venerable, the Soul Dominator’s Heir is surely shallow-minded and out to target Ba Lie Venerable."
"Great Heavenly Decision, I of course acknowledge the Soul Dominator’s Heir’s significant contributions."
"But he is still young, likely to disregard our Heavenly Decision Makers’ decisions, risking the unity and greater cause, we must immediately go out to save Ba Lie."
"We must severely admonish the Soul Dominator’s Heir, not allowing him to overstep."
Despite this, he dares not oppose too vehemently, still forced to praise Sikong Jing’s tremendous achievement.
As Nanfeng’s words unfolded, all eyes shifted to Murong Jianyun, who unexpectedly sat back down on his chair with a thud, then said calmly: "I trust Ajing to have his discretion, let him handle it."
At this, Nanfeng’s expression turned intensely enraged...
Even Dongwu stepped forward heavily, saying: "Great Heavenly Decision, I support Nanfeng, continuing this way could..."
Before finishing, Murong Jianyun interrupted on the spot: "No more words, let’s leave it be for now."
Not wanting to dwell on the topic further, given Sikong Jing’s transmission saying not to interfere with Ba Lie Mansion’s affairs, there’s no need to get involved.
Regardless of Ba Lie Venerable’s situation, Murong Jianyun trusts Sikong Jing.
Thus, Nanfeng and Dongwu could only grit their teeth in anger and step back.
Immediately after, Murong Jianyun’s gaze fell on the center of the hall, where a chained figure was still kneeling.
It was none other than: Pei Xie, who had been captured alive from Willow Leaf City.
The primary focus of today’s meeting was on how to make Pei Xie the principal witness against the Qianwang Holy Tower.
Seeing Murong Jianyun looking over again, Pei Xie grinned openly from his place on the hall floor...
"As I said, I just want Xiong Tingting to serve me, my main target in Willow Leaf City was her, despite having seen countless beauties, not obtaining her still leaves me uneasy..."
"Just bring her here, and maybe I’d be in a good mood, possibly then be a witness for you."
As Pei Xie’s words unfolded, everyone in the room pursed their lips...
Pei Xie is extremely difficult to deal with, while it’s not hard to interrogate him, getting him to publicly accuse the Qianwang Holy Tower of being the mastermind controlling the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall under the eyes of countless factions within Overlord City...
Is just, too difficult!
Therefore, Murong Jianyun had already accepted his request and sent word to fetch Xiong Tingting to Batian Inner City.
As for Xiong Tingting’s whereabouts...
Xiong Tingting had indeed reported to Overlord Commerce, considering her Wenxiang Pavilion needed to integrate into Overlord City from Willow Leaf City, so Murong Jianyun only needed to check and could find out she’d already reached Xianwu Town...
However, after obtaining Xiong Tingting, would Pei Xie actually behave obediently?
This is similarly challenging, Pei Xie’s specific demand for Xiong Tingting certainly made Murong Jianyun suspicious about whether Xiong Tingting is affiliated with the Qianwang Holy Tower, possibly intending to take the chance to kill Pei Xie to silence him.
But on further thought, it’s unlikely, as Xiong Tingting trying to murder someone right under their noses wouldn’t be easy?
Maybe Pei Xie is just fooling them...
Overall, the matter is a mere test, calling Xiong Tingting to see what unfolds.
At this moment, Leng Sha and Bai Xiaojin were already outside Heavenly Decision Hall, Leng Sha said: "Great Heavenly Decision, Leng Sha and Bai Xiaojin seek an audience."
After this statement, they were quickly summoned into the hall.
Subsequently, Leng Sha steadily approached Murong Jianyun, whispering a few words in his ear.
Instantly, Murong Jianyun’s expression stiffened slightly, he then pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
What Leng Sha mentioned was indeed about the matter of first killing Pei Xie and protecting Xiong Tingting.
Regarding this matter...
Sikong Jing originally considered transmitting information to Murong Jianyun but decided against it, concerning Xiong Tingting potentially being a Thousand Prison Tower pawn, Sikong Jing had to be exceedingly cautious...
If his transmission was intercepted, it would be disastrous.
Thus, it was only now that Murong Jianyun learned of Sikong Jing’s plan for Xiong Tingting, she truly was a Qianwang Holy Tower member, now instead subdued by Sikong Jing.
Even Sikong Jing intended to eliminate Pei Xie for her, eliminating the need for him as a witness.
Previously, Murong Jianyun would never have agreed.
But now of course he agreed, Sikong Jing’s various arrangements and setups had long proven correct, long proven exceedingly formidable.
Considering this, Murong Jianyun spoke unexpectedly: "Guards, escort Pei Xie to the city tower of Batian Inner City."
At this statement, everyone was dumbfounded, including Pei Xie himself.
What was Murong Jianyun suddenly up to, why was he escorting Pei Xie to the tower now, what did he intend to do?
Pei Xie was equally stunned: "Murong Jianyun, what are you up to?"
Murong Jianyun replied with a heavy sneer: "I have suddenly changed my mind, I don’t need you as a witness anymore. But I still want you up on that tower, then I’ll have my own way of making your death thrilling."
At these words, the entire hall fell into shock again.
Then all eyes focused on Leng Sha, curious about what he had just whispered to Murong Jianyun.
