Chapter 2023: Chapter 2023: Ba Lie Dies, a Demon Is Born
Such a scene caused the expression of everyone who accused Sikong Jing to freeze instantly.
Qian Ta, who was sneering, was dumbfounded again, and those who were anxious and uneasy like Dongwu seemed to be under an immobilization spell on the spot.
Then one by one, they looked at the person who stabbed out the light, which was, of course, Sikong Jing.
At this moment, in the deathly silence of the entire scene... Thump, thump, thump!
Sikong Jing had already walked step by step to Ba Lie Venerable and said in a low voice: "Ba Lie, I originally planned to kill you after handling everything, but I didn’t expect you to come charging up to die."
Although his voice was low, it spread out without any cover.
And Ba Lie Venerable had widened his eyes, foolishly asking: "In such a situation, how dare you? Why do you dare?"
It was because he couldn’t imagine Sikong Jing still daring to kill him in public, so he had no guard at all.
In an instant, he was pierced by Sikong Jing.
With a cold voice, Sikong Jing said: "I was going to kill you in public; otherwise, how could I have forced you to come outside the Batian Inner City? Otherwise, how could I have given you a chance to escape?"
This sentence, of course, was no longer public, only heard by Ba Lie Venerable.
But he still stared at Sikong Jing full of confusion, wanting an explanation.
But Sikong Jing suddenly drew his sword... Pfft!
The sword brought blood from Ba Lie Venerable’s heart, dripping onto the tower, and then Sikong Jing turned to look at Murong Jianyun, ignoring Ba Lie Venerable...
He had no time to answer too many questions.
And Ba Lie Venerable, when Sikong Jing’s sword pierced him, had already had his meridians shattered, falling on his back on the spot.
Before dying, he still did not get an answer, so he died with eyes open in disbelief.
At the same time, Murong Jianyun tightly stared at Sikong Jing but already knew the answer...
He publicly killed Pei Xie, merely an impromptu task, an unexpected situation.
Sikong Jing’s real aim to kill in public was Ba Lie Venerable, and it coincidentally happened when Ba Lie Venerable jumped out to blame him as a Su Old Demon Remnant and then kill him, just giving a great opportunity.
Because Ba Lie dies, the Demon arises!
At this moment, the eyes of Murong Jianyun and Sikong Jing connected again, both nodding to each other.
"Ba Lie..."
And at this moment, Dongwu’s sorrowful voice tore through the sky, shouting: "Sikong Jing, what did you do?"
Only at this moment did Dongwu react, and then he dashed towards Ba Lie Venerable and clung desperately to the deceased Ba Lie Venerable, madly circulating True Qi trying to save him.
But he was already dead.
Dongwu wanted to pull out Ba Lie Venerable’s Spiritual Shadow, to see if there was still a chance to save him.
But he soon found that Ba Lie Venerable’s Spirit Platform Sea of Consciousness was already shattered to pieces, obviously deliberately dispersed by Sikong Jing with that stroke, preventing anyone from having a chance to save Ba Lie Venerable.
Thud...
Seeing no chance of saving him, Dongwu sat down on the ground trembling, pointing at Sikong Jing with a quivering finger, screaming: "Demon, you truly are a Demon, you’re here to harm Overlord Commerce, what grudge does Overlord Commerce have with you?"
One sentence pierced the sky with its sorrow.
Below the city, more and more people still looked bewildered, completely unable to understand.
People from any side were dizzy, even Qian Ta had his mind spinning without finding a clue.
Killing Ba Lie on the spot was possible, but it had to be Murong Jianyun who did it. If he, the Soul Dominator’s Heir, personally killed Ba Lie Venerable, wouldn’t that confirm the accusation of being a Su Old Demon Remnant?
Below the city, only the people of Wunian Saint Sect knew what was happening.
At this moment, after reacting, Nanfeng also ran out to shout loudly at Sikong Jing: "Little Demon, you’ve gone too far... I told him you’d use public office to avenge private wrongs, and he didn’t believe it."
Immediately, one by one came to their senses but did not speak out against Sikong Jing, only staring at Murong Jianyun.
The matter of how to handle what happens next was too chaotic, everyone’s heart was in turmoil.
However, Sikong Jing remained calm, saying: "Nanfeng, your grandson Nan Hedun is also dead, don’t you know?"
Upon hearing this, the furious Nanfeng froze, exclaiming: "What did you say?"
"I killed him."
Sikong Jing merely replied with three bland words, then looked at Murong Jianyun and said: "Great Heaven Decision, Ba Lie Venerable colluded with Qianwang Holy Tower to capture me for surrender; such a person certainly couldn’t be left alive, he had to be killed."
As soon as these words came out, without waiting for Murong Jianyun to react, Dongwu immediately shouted: "Nonsense, utter nonsense!"
Simultaneously, Nanfeng also shouted: "Sikong the little beast, you killed Hedun, I’m going to kill you."
After saying that, he was about to pounce on Sikong Jing, but was immediately stopped by Xi Tu.
Xi Tu said sternly: "Nanfeng Tianjue, don’t act impulsively for now, wait for the truth to come out."
The upper city wall of the Inner City had turned into a chaotic mixture, until Murong Jianyun shouted angrily: "Calm down, all of you, now I will ask Sikong Jing, and I’ll give you a satisfactory explanation later."
Saying this, he used the power of the Holy Martial Stage to suppress the surroundings, making everyone quiet down.
After sorting things out, he looked at Sikong Jing again and asked: "You say Ba Lie Venerable colluded with Qianwang Holy Tower, what evidence do you have?"
Casually looking up, Sikong Jing replied indifferently: "No evidence, the core members of Ba Lie Mansion were all killed by me, Great Heaven Decision only needs to trust me... If I say he is, he is!"
When the words fell, Dongwu couldn’t help but jump up, preparing to say something.
However, Murong Jianyun immediately shouted: "Shut up first, I will clarify."
He dismissed Dongwu and looked at Sikong Jing again, saying: "I might be able to trust you, but without evidence, how can you convince the people?"
After speaking, he deeply stared at Sikong Jing, and their eyes still connected.
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing replied without hesitation: "Why should I convince the people? Without me, the Willow Leaf City Region would have been destroyed by Qianwang Holy Tower and Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall, without me, the next target of Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall might be Batian City."
"I am the one who saved you."
"And I have no reason to lie, Ba Lie is to me as easy to crush as an ant."
When the words fell, Dongwu and others, not knowing the truth, were already trembling all over...
And Murong Jianyun feigned tremors again to ask: "How is your behavior any different from a Demon? Do you think just because of your merits, you can do whatever you want in Batian City? You’re simply a scoundrel..."
To this, Sikong Jing slowly raised his head and replied: "You still don’t trust me?"
Murong Jianyun’s voice resonated throughout the city: "How can you make me trust you?"
"Ba Lie already had a grudge against you, and when he accused you of being a Su Old Demon Remnant, you killed him on the spot, which makes me have to question, are you indeed a Demon!"
But in reality, his heart was trembling, for he was truly pushing Sikong Jing into the abyss of the Demon.
