Chapter 1235: A Native of the East Plain
At this moment, Cold Soul Old Ghost was being watched by a strong figure with the Emperor's Limitless Weapon. He's still suspected to be the mastermind behind Master Wuji's murder, so when he uttered "Sikong Buwang," it made people even more suspicious.
Because the situation on the snowfield was so bizarre, everyone temporarily shifted their attention back to Cold Soul Old Ghost.
No one dared to act lightly now.
Cold Soul Old Ghost felt untroubled. Upon hearing this, he responded coldly, "He is a servant disciple of the Wunian Saint Sect's Changqing Lineage, named Sikong Buwang. However, this boy is somewhat peculiar. He surely knows everything about Master Wuji."
The peculiarity Cold Soul Old Ghost referred to was how he was incredibly strong, despite not being a War Body.
And the scene before them was even stranger.
Little Liang was stunned, for he had already guessed who Sikong Jing was; he was indeed the East Dominator Genius that Yin Henzi mentioned when consulting about the Emperor's Artifact, and Little Liang and Xiao Jia listened in secret.
But how did he suddenly become a disciple of the Wunian Saint Sect?
Nevertheless, Master Wuji's safety was paramount, so Little Liang was the first to bend down and stare at Sikong Jing in the snow, asking, "You're Sikong Buwang, right? We are from the Emperor's Limitless Weapon. Where is our Master Wuji?"
The strong figures from Wanbing City heard this and kept their expressions stern, remaining unmoving, only staring at Sikong Jing.
Sikong Jing patted the snow off himself, stood up, and pointed at the Absolute Night Demon Wolf, saying, "He's in Senior Demon Wolf's stomach."
With these words, a strong figure from the Emperor's Limitless Weapon on the Divine Shuttle Ship took a step forward, murder intent surging.
To them, Sikong Jing's words undoubtedly meant that Master Wuji was already dead.
But Little Liang reached out to stop anyone from asking further, saying, "So you've defected to Beiming Hanshan, betrayed Yin Henzi with the Absolute Night Demon Wolf, swallowed our Master Wuji, and killed him, is that it?"
Because Grandpa Wuji's Life Lamp was fine, Little Liang was naturally calm.
But just as he finished speaking, someone quickly added, "Isn't Yin Henzi now pursuing the traitorous Absolute Night Demon Wolf and got counter-killed?"
"What role do you play in this?" another voice loudly questioned.
Then, a flurry of questions came raging.
Yet, no one acted still due to the bizarre scene, although those from the Emperor's Limitless Weapon were supposed to be impulsive.
However, the young Little Liang stopped any impulsive action.
After everyone finished asking, Sikong Jing blinked and smiled, replying, "It's a long story, afraid it needs to…"
Before he could finish... Boom!
Suddenly, an aura of the first Great Realm of the Emperor Martial Stage came crushing, interrupting Sikong Jing's words. This aura shouted loudly, "Since it's a long story, I'll capture you first and let you explain clearly."
Upon finishing, a figure came rushing towards Sikong Jing.
A strong figure from Wanbing City, he acted without warning, thinking he should immediately seize this suspicious character to gain the greatest gratitude from the Emperor's Limitless Weapon.
Though the situation was bizarre, fortune favors the risk-taker!
As this figure was about to reach Sikong Jing, the previously prone Absolute Night Demon Wolf slightly opened its eyes, and a wolf claw suddenly struck out of nowhere, instantly sending the figure flying.
With a piercing scream, the person returned to the group's vicinity, but his body was covered in frost, shivering frantically!
Simultaneously, everyone's gaze fixed on the Absolute Night Demon Wolf.
Almost simultaneously, an exclamation erupted: "Emperor Martial Stage, third Great Realm."
At this moment, none were more shocked than Cold Soul Old Ghost because, just the day before, this Absolute Night Demon Wolf wasn't this strong, and the presence of the third Great Realm of the Emperor Martial Stage was top-tier force to Wanbing City's strong figures.
So, at this moment, no one dared make a move.
Just as the whole place went silent, Sikong Jing's voice, with a hint of helplessness, said, "Master Wuji, if you don't come out to explain, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to ride Senior Demon Wolf into a battle against Wanbing City's heroes."
Upon hearing this, the place was stunned silent again.
Sikong Jing continued, "By then, swords and blades would blind, injuring your Emperor's Limitless Weapon men wouldn't be good."
With his voice down, silence fell once more.
Everyone stared blankly at Sikong Jing, then at the seemingly sorrowful still-prone Absolute Night Demon Wolf; only Little Liang and Xiao Jia thought, perhaps Master Wuji wasn't dead?
However, the Absolute Night Demon Wolf's stomach remained quiet too, and Master Wuji seemed unwilling to show himself.
And the Absolute Night Demon Wolf lay still, truly feeling sad, not wanting to move or speak, except to protect Sikong Jing.
Sikong Jing could only speak again, "Master, everyone's here now; are you afraid I'll take you to claim a reward?"
His voice wasn't loud enough for everyone, only the Absolute Night Demon Wolf and Master Wuji could hear.
While Master Wuji's heart trembled, the corner of his mouth twitched...
The reason for not coming out was because Sikong Jing knew his identity, as the remnant of Su Old Demon.
What if, after going out, taken for reward or lead? What then?
Though Master Wuji had many means, he was still fearful.
Faced with Yin Henzi, he felt confident in handling him with ease, but facing Sikong Jing, somehow, he felt unable.
That's why when Sikong Jing first called him, he pretended to be dead.
Master Wuji always believed that as long as the Absolute Night Demon Wolf remained silent, Sikong Jing wouldn't necessarily confirm he was alive; if he could ensure the wolf stayed silent, perhaps he could dodge the situation.
Perhaps, Sikong Jing would think he had been genuinely digested.
This boy was likely just testing if he were alive.
But now Sikong Jing had thoroughly exposed his thoughts, forcing Master Wuji into hesitating before ultimately saying, "Demon Wolf, open your mouth!"
Upon hearing this, the Absolute Night Demon Wolf opened its mouth, then a black, round orb popped out.
When it fell into the snow, it clicked and crunched…
Instantly transforming into a chair with bizarre patterns, Master Wuji swiftly sat on it in good condition.
In a moment, wide-eyed gazes fell on Master Wuji, some exclaimed, some appeared utterly perplexed…
What is this all about?
What everyone knew was still the scenario that the Absolute Night Demon Wolf was bought by Beiming Hanshan, yet Yin Henzi was dead, and Master Wuji was alive and well, entirely incomprehensible.
Regardless, Little Liang and those from Emperor's Limitless Weapon naturally wanted to rush toward Master Wuji.
But Master Wuji abruptly instructed, "Do not come closer."
One sentence stopped everyone, then Master Wuji fixed his gaze on Sikong Jing, fearing the danger Sikong Jing posed, genuinely worried for Little Liang and others.
Despite many allies around, Master Wuji remained anxious.
Because if Sikong Jing were to shout that he was a remnant of Su Old Demon, the situation might completely reverse.
"Master, shall we continue our previous unfinished conversation, away from others, alright?" Sikong Jing calmly inquired.
Master Wuji deeply inhaled, finally nodded, "Alright!"
No choice remained, a negotiation had to occur here!
So he activated the mechanism beneath his chair, shielding their ensuing dialogue.
Once done, Master Wuji directly asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Actually wanting to ask which side you're on.
"A native of East Plain, Ye Wuyan is my wife's grandmother." Sikong Jing directly replied.
Upon hearing this, originally vigilant Master Wuji nearly dove into the snow; he unmistakably knew who Ye Wuyan was, Su Eldest's most beloved woman!
In other words, this Eastern Dominator youth before him was none other than Su Eldest's grandson-in-law?
