Chapter 2219: The Price Revealed, Six Claw Appears

Pei Yuguang and the others had no idea what Pei Kuang’s intentions were, but orders were immediately given.

Instantly, all of the Array Masters of Qianwang Holy Tower sprang into action.

In a split second, the formation of the entire Qianwang Holy City suddenly changed, and the Great Array of the Holy City visibly shattered, just as everyone had yet to react... Buzz buzz buzz!

Above the Qianwang Holy City, golden pillars of formation light appeared one after another.

As the beast horde retreated, the light pillars rained down densely, like a golden rain hammering upon the ground.

The golden rain fell without any pattern, and in an instant... Ah ah ah ah ah!

Various cries erupted from within the Qianwang Holy City, accompanied by various exclamations...

"What’s happening?"

"What’s going on, what is this thing? Why am I being locked up?"

"What’s going on here?"

These voices echoed throughout the Qianwang Holy City, including Qu Hanming and Grandpa Zhang among others. Everyone was trapped by the terrifying light pillars, even top-level Emperors could not break free immediately.

Even someone like Qu Hanming, though avoiding several golden light pillars fiercely, was ultimately pressed down.

Each person struggled frantically, but to no avail for now.

At the same time, Sikong Jing inside the Beast Killing Array was certainly stunned, he coldly glanced at Pei Kuang.

Pei Kuang, not waiting for him to speak, laughed wildly: "Human-shaped beast, do you want to know what the cost was for summoning the Six-clawed Evil Heart Mixed Beast and that gray-clothed man for the first time?"

The fierce glow in Sikong Jing’s beast eyes froze continuously; the unease in his heart was about to surface.

Pei Kuang continued explaining: "It’s a Spiritual Shadow, a powerful Spiritual Shadow!"

"Decades ago, the cost of my summoning was three Holy Martial Stage Spiritual Shadows."

As the sound fell, the entire city suddenly became eerily silent.

Each person stared unbelievingly at Pei Kuang, the cost of summoning that Fierce Beast turned out to be so terrifying, three Holy Martial Spiritual Shadows?

That meant, three Holy Martial Stage individuals had to die.

Decades ago, three Holy Martial Stage were sacrificed to kill Su Old Demon, such a high price was unbelievable.

Sikong Jing was similarly shocked to the extreme, but quickly thought of something and asked with a bang: "So, the previous generation of Qianwang Tower Master, your father suddenly died when... Su Beiheng was suppressed by the One Claw Domain?"

As soon as these words came out, the strong individuals of Qianwang Holy Tower looked at Pei Kuang fiercely, each person’s eyes widened.

"To summon, you even killed your father?" Sikong Jing questioned again.

In response, Pei Kuang couldn’t help but laugh.

He shook his head gently and said: "No, no, no, that was my father’s own wish, he willingly sacrificed the Spiritual Shadow himself; I tried to persuade him but failed."

With Sikong Jing’s words, everyone trembled all over...

Most people didn’t believe Pei Kuang’s nonsense; surely, Pei Kuang killed his father and used him as the sacrificial price.

In the end, he smoothly became the new Qianwang Tower Master.

And of course, that was the truth, but Pei Kuang would never publicly admit it; he didn’t want to bear such infamy.

He insisted that his father sacrificed himself for righteousness, to eliminate demons.

In response, Sikong Jing also couldn’t be bothered to expose it further...

Instead, he deeply fixated on Pei Kuang and asked back: "So now, do you have to sacrifice six Holy Martial Stage Spiritual Shadows?"

With this sentence, two veteran Qianwang Holy Martial shuddered all over, suddenly terrified beyond measure.

Meanwhile, some others wondered why it had to be six Holy Martial Spiritual Shadows?

They didn’t know that Pei Kuang had made a second summoning within a short time.

However, Pei Kuang shook his head again and said: "Of course not, I won’t sacrifice any of Qianwang Holy Tower’s people or any of those who ally with Qianwang Holy Tower. This time the cost I will pay is..."

Suddenly, he pointed to the golden pillars of formations throughout the city, and snickered coldly: "The enemies of Qianwang Holy Tower."

As the sound fell, everyone shivered intensely.

All of a sudden, including Sikong Jing, they understood why Pei Kuang had previously divided friends and foes.

Before, Qu Hanming’s guess was wrong... Pei Kuang preferred the demon beasts to wreak havoc throughout the city than to let anyone leave the Holy City precisely because he needed these people’s Spiritual Shadows as the cost for summoning.

Buzz...

Suddenly, within the white pillars there were hints of black shadows appearing intermittently, the Six-clawed Evil Heart Mixed Beast was truly coming.

Seeing this, Pei Kuang continued to laugh loudly: "Initially, I intended to use the pawns from the Thousand Prison Tower to distinguish friends and foes, but now, after you and Little Demon Sikong stirred things up, these pawns are no longer needed, I’ve clearly discerned them."

The implication was: initially, he planned to assign tasks to them after testing the loyalty of the pawns to discern the conditions of the major sects in the Central Plains, but now it was crystal clear to him.

"After this battle, my Qianwang Holy Tower will sweep across the Central Plains; the Overlord Commerce will have no one dare to ally with them anymore."

Pei Kuang spoke again with a bang...

After sacrificing all the opponents within Qianwang Holy City as costs, all these opponents perished.

The dead naturally couldn’t ally with Overlord Commerce.

Additionally, after this Qianwang intimidation, no other sect would dare to easily ally with Overlord Commerce anymore.

No sect would dare to oppose Qianwang Holy Tower again.

Sikong Jing’s fists clenched tightly, his gaze shifted to the dense golden pillars in the city, watching the opponents of Qianwang still struggling desperately, and among them some ordinary martial artists...

Many people weren’t uninterested in entering the Golden Light Tower but were too weak to enter.

Among them were some old and frail women and children, who genuinely lacked the ability to enter the Golden Light Tower, yet Pei Kuang’s formation pillars pressed down indiscriminately, not caring about the lives of these so-called small figures...

Among them, there were even many locals of Qianwang Holy Tower.

Watching the flickering eyes of Demon Beast Sikong Jing, Pei Kuang laughed softly again: "You can’t save anyone, because the Six-clawed Holy Beast and that lord have already arrived; you have no time to save people."

Pei Kuang naturally knew that the Beast Killing Array could break the golden pillars, but there was simply no time.

Because as soon as he finished speaking... Roar!

From the center of the Golden Light Tower, the white pillar emitted a deafening roar.

Soon, the Six-clawed Evil Heart Mixed Beast Sikong Jing had seen last time fully appeared. Pei Kuang, just like last time at the Canglong Small Tower, bowed with ceremony and said: "Pei Kuang, greets the Six-clawed Holy Beast."

The Six-clawed Evil Heart Mixed Beast glanced around slightly, then asked in a low voice: "Pei Kuang, the third time, is the price prepared?"

Just as last time, the Six-clawed Evil Heart Mixed Beast didn’t open its mouth.

The male voice still came directly from the beast body, and Sikong Jing and Pei Kuang knew well that the speaker was that gray-clothed man hidden within the body of the Six-clawed Evil Heart Mixed Beast.

He was the true orchestrator summoned, while the Six-clawed Evil Heart Mixed Beast was merely the mount of the gray-clothed man.

Hearing this, Pei Kuang immediately replied: "It’s already prepared, it’s the live Spiritual Shadows under the pillars throughout the city, so many people including top-level Emperors and Emperor Realm individuals, should match up to six Holy Martial Spiritual Shadows, right?"
