Chapter 2197: We Are All Traitors

Previously, in the records of Qian Ta, this fat chess piece had not yet reached the Venerable Realm.

And naturally, Qian Ta has a rule that once the realm is elevated, one must report to him, failure to do so would be considered as a traitor.

The scene seemed to freeze at this moment.

Suddenly, under the gaze of Qian Ta and everyone present, this chess piece slowly removed its mask, revealing a middle-aged face, and it was shockingly the Boss of Ba You!

He slowly looked up and smiled, "You are right, I am indeed a traitor, I have already pledged allegiance to Young Master Sikong."

The voice of the Boss of Ba You was firm and resolute, with a visage prepared to face death at any time, he did not deny but straightforwardly admitted it.

It was precisely because Sikong Jing arrived, and because he had already received orders from Sikong Jing.

Once Sikong Jing arrived, there was no need for denial; confrontation was imminent.

The Boss of Ba You did not know how Sikong Jing would deal with Pei Kuang, or how he would lead them out of Qianwang Golden Light Tower.

But now, he could only fight desperately, only battle to the death.

The frantic and candid admission by the Boss of Ba You left Qian Ta stunned, and Pei Kuang was also taken aback.

Even the 60% of Thousand Prison Tower chess pieces who had not yet been approached by Sikong Jing were stunned. How could the Boss of Ba You be so bold? Was he not afraid that his family would be killed by Qian Ta directly?

Indeed, Qian Ta shouted angrily, "You, how dare you."

At the same time, Pei Kuang sharply turned his head towards Sikong Jing and shouted, "Little Demon Sikong, it seems you must pay something to take this traitor away, what are you prepared to offer?"

His expression remained unchanged, having long anticipated the presence of a traitor, and the Boss of Ba You was expected.

This person was a chess piece embedded in Overlord City, the most likely to be discovered and betray.

For now, it appeared they tacitly agreed to exchange Jiang Wanyou for Pei Yusheng, so Sikong Jing certainly needed to offer something to take the Boss of Ba You away. To regain Yao Yulou, Sikong Jing was to offer the secret of Pei Yusheng’s devouring...

However, Sikong Jing gently shook his head, "Lord Pei, don’t be anxious, the real show has yet to come."

At these words, Pei Kuang was once again stupefied...

Then they heard, "Lord Qian Ta, I have also reached the Venerable Realm, I forgot to report to you earlier, now I make up for it."

As this voice fell, a chess piece of the Thousand Prison Tower strode out from the crowd, then openly removed its mask, also revealing a middle-aged face.

His actions again froze the entire scene.

What he said had no faults, but what did he mean by suddenly removing his mask?

Before Qian Ta could inquire, this middle-aged chess piece coldly declared, "I too am a traitor, I have also pledged allegiance to Young Master Sikong."

Qian Ta’s entire body shook, eyes widened, even Pei Kuang couldn’t help but turn back...

But... boom, boom, boom!

Suddenly, 40% of the chess pieces in the Thousand Prison Tower erupted.

They exploded their whole body’s True Qi and almost simultaneously shouted, "Lord Qian Ta, Lord Pei Kuang, we too made significant breakthroughs, and we are all traitors to your Qianwang Holy Tower."

Upon saying this, one by one they grasped their masks and then ripped them off, throwing them high into the sky.

In an instant, the masks flew, revealing everyone’s true faces.

Each face bore a determination to fight to the death!

Qian Ta was dumbfounded, Pei Kuang was dumbfounded, even Pei Yusheng was dumbfounded, and the remaining 60% of the Thousand Prison Tower chess pieces stupidly stared at all those who had removed their masks... their mouths agape, their minds buzzing!

But, the blood in their bodies involuntarily began to surge.

Not until after a full three breaths did Qian Ta, with trembling fingers, point at them and exclaimed, "You, you..."

Boom...

Suddenly, an old chess piece stepped forward heavily, carrying a terrifying aura of a top-level Emperor.

His voice was ancient but powerful as he said, "Under Young Master Sikong’s guidance and aid, we have all achieved breakthroughs, we no longer wish to be treated like dogs, no longer want to be neither human nor ghost."

"We want to rescue our families, even if it means dying here."

The voice roared to the heavens, then the assembly of unmasked chess pieces burst forth even more violently, their fighting spirit growing stronger.

Finally, Qian Ta responded coldly, "With just you people?"

Boom...

Qian Ta’s Holy Martial aura abruptly exploded; he was an existence of the second Great Realm of Holy Martial.

He could effortlessly crush all the chess pieces.

However, Sikong Jing’s voice eerily echoed, "Form the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array with the Emperor Realm and top-level Venerables at the core!"

As the words landed... boom!

All the disrobed chess pieces, without any hesitation, instantaneously connected their True Qi to the Emperor Realm experts among them.

Among these subjugated chess pieces, there were quite a few in the Emperor Realm.

And having pledged allegiance, they had naturally already learned the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array, and they immediately formed the formation.

In an instant, it presented the existence of dozens of hundred-man killing formations.

The array’s power surged incessantly, and they resolutely blocked Qian Ta’s terrifying Holy Martial aura.

According to their records in Qian Ta’s hands, it was impossible to withstand.

Yet it was stated before, whether it’s Old Xiu or Su Yue Immortal, as long as a chess piece was subjugated, they would immediately communicate with Sikong Jing, who would then devise a new cultivation method for the pieces.

In other words, modifying and teaching them Beast Skills and Beast Techniques, etc.

All Thousand Prison Tower pieces were just like Xiong Tingting back then, various explosions and breakthroughs occurred.

Breaking through from the peak of Venerable Realm to Emperor Realm, and so on.

Since it was entirely new cultivation methods created by Sikong Jing, upon forming the Hundred-man Army Killing Array, they became overwhelmingly powerful.

More importantly... their faith was uniform!

They were all people of deep loyalty and righteousness being exploited by Pei Kuang, they did not know each other but shared the same will.

These, all became their tremendous driving force.

To fight for family to the death, to battle endlessly to not be treated as dogs.

Furthermore, Yao Yulou’s outcome made them witness the cold-hearted and ruthless nature of the Qianwang Holy Tower, they knew continuing wouldn’t lead to a good end; Pei Kuang never saw them as human.

No matter how great the achievements for Qianwang Holy Tower, hope was scarce.

At this moment, Sikong Jing once more addressed Pei Kuang, "Lord Pei, I wonder what terms I need to offer in exchange for the lives of those who have already pledged allegiance to me? I wonder, is one Pei Yusheng enough?"

The voice caused the already stunned Pei Kuang to involuntarily withdraw his gaze, he finally couldn’t help but stand up.

He stared fiercely at Sikong Jing, his face of rage openly erupting, a whole 40% of the chess pieces, his most utilized yet most lowly, had completely betrayed him.

And the Qianwang Holy Tower knew nothing, which inflicted strong humiliation on Pei Kuang.

It felt more intolerable than being slapped while riding on his head, Pei Kuang nearly roared madly, "Well done Little Demon Sikong, do you plan to confront this Tower Master with these minor chess pieces?"

Any exchange terms were impossible.

The sudden eruption of the chess pieces implied Sikong Jing wasn’t there for negotiation, but for a life-and-death struggle.

Although Pei Kuang was infuriated internally, he was perfectly aware Sikong Jing must have trump cards, much beyond these minor chess pieces alone.

"No need for chatter, show your trump card."

"Is it Su Beiheng, masters from the Blood Demon Array, or something else?"

As Pei Kuang spoke, the strongmen of Qianwang Holy Tower had already rushed out in full force, completely blocking Sikong Jing’s path in all directions, while Lady Li, in the third realm of Holy Martial, surged her full strength, ever ready to save her son.

One could say, at this moment, Sikong Jing was about to face nearly all the forces of Qianwang Holy Tower.
