Chapter 2337: Qianwang and Domineering, The Momentum of a Decisive Battle

Just as Chai Jiu activated the Transmission Stone in Pei Kuang’s hand...

Sikong Jing did indeed fall into the prison’s Transmission Array, and of course he also saw Chai Gong beside the array.

He smiled and said, "Goodbye. If you get the chance, thank Chai Jiu for me—though you probably won’t get that chance."

Buzz...

The pillar of light flared up again, and Sikong Jing instantly vanished into it; this time the destination was of course the Deserted Sea Forbidden Land.

Chai Gong froze, blinking as he watched Sikong Jing disappear.

With his face full of confusion, he said, "What’s going on? Didn’t the Great Gate Master signal me to kill the black-scaled Little Demon? How did he suddenly get transmitted away? Could it be that there’s some arrangement by that black-scaled Little Demon nearby?"

Thinking of this, Chai Gong hurriedly rushed out, but of course he found absolutely nothing.

"Strange, there really isn’t any arrangement."

"And why did that black-scaled Little Demon look so happy? Does he not realize he’s about to face the unknown Deserted Sea Forbidden Land?"

"Ba Zhun and the Six Clawed Mixed Beast were instant-killed last time, remember."

Chai Gong’s head was full of fog, then he recalled Sikong Jing’s words and shivered hard.

He knew he no longer had any chance to communicate with the Great Gate Master again. Even if the black-scaled Demon had no arrangements laid down, Chai Gong was dead for sure.

The Holy Martial Demons would arrive very soon; all the Cang Lineage Dead Soldiers in the prison were going to be wiped out.

...

Inside the Space Channel, Sikong Jing was already motionless.

He had never expected Chai Jiu would use this kind of trick on him, actually trying to send him directly to Pei Kuang.

But that was understandable. In Chai Jiu’s mind, the first generation Demon Vein Inheritance meant possibly obtaining the ultimate secret of the entire Divine Demon Island; of course he had to use every means possible to prevent Sikong Jing from getting it.

Either kill him outright so no one gets it, or drag things out.

Sending him to the Central Plains was the best way to stall for time.

In Chai Jiu’s view, even if Sikong Jing wasn’t killed after being transmitted over, there was no way he could come back out again in a short span of time.

Demons who haven’t reached Holy Martial entering an Absolute Array face an extremely high death rate.

That is to say, Sikong Jing would have to cultivate up to the Holy Martial Stage in the Central Plains before he could possibly return to the Desert Sea Absolute Array, and reaching Holy Martial is tremendously difficult; no matter how gifted, it isn’t easily attained.

Even at the fastest it would take two or three years, and during that period Chai Jiu could do a great many things.

Of course, there was a high chance the Holy Martial Demons would enter the Desert Sea Absolute Array and bring Sikong Jing out, but that, for Chai Jiu, wasn’t necessarily a bad thing either; as long as Holy Martial Demons dared pour into the Absolute Array in large numbers, that would likewise be his chance to stage a counter-kill and return.

His abacus was clacking away merrily in his head.

It’s just a pity Chai Jiu didn’t know that Sikong Jing was originally a man of the Central Plains—Sikong Jing had been wanting to go back earlier!

"Though the plan has undergone a huge change, I absolutely can’t pass up a chance to return quickly." Sikong Jing muttered inwardly.

His original plan was to remain trapped in the prison and thereby form a massive deterrent to the Cangyu Demon Sect, but Sikong Jing really, really wanted to go back; he genuinely had no idea what the current situation in the Central Plains was.

Sikong Jing was afraid—afraid that Su Yuexi and Ling’er might have met with misfortune, and so on.

He certainly wouldn’t refuse such a stroke of luck. As for follow-up matters with the Cangyu Demon Sect, he simply couldn’t guarantee much anymore; once he was done dealing with the Qianwang Holy Tower, it wouldn’t be too late to come out again.

Moreover, he had already instructed War Tiger to act according to plan.

That is, War Tiger would travel the Absolute Array alone and step into the Central Plains.

"Chai Jiu, I really ought to thank you."

"I wonder what kind of expression you’ll have when you find out Ba Zhun and the Six Clawed Mixed Beast were killed by me?"

Even now, Sikong Jing found the whole thing somewhat absurd.

"Pei Kuang, we’re going to meet again very soon. What are you doing right now?"

The corner of Sikong Jing’s mouth curled up slightly, and he had long since readied the Space Holy Key, prepared to perform Space Transmission at any moment.

He had no idea where Pei Kuang was, of course.

If Pei Kuang happened to be inside the main base camp of the Qianwang Holy Tower, then Sikong Jing would of course have to immediately flee via transmission the moment he arrived.

"I’ve already reached the First Heart of the Pure Spirit Seven Heart Technique."

"My Demon Form Spirit Shadow is basically fully formed; I can now wield the Demon Path’s First Body. When the time comes, if you, Pei Kuang, aren’t on Qianwang Holy Tower turf, I won’t mind letting you see the combat strength I can unleash at full force."

Light flashed in Sikong Jing’s eyes. During the battle at the Cangyu Sect, he had also been improving madly.

Although his realm was still Emperor Martial Stage Venerable Fifth Realm, the greatest harvest of this trip to Divine Demon Island was the eruption of his Double Emperor Veins, the possession of three Spiritual Shadows, and the terrifying peerless Skills of Seven Heart Skills and Seven-layered Body!

There was also the meridian from the one-claw corpse bone of the previous generation Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.

And he could already step into the Emperor Realm; he only needed a small opportunity to directly reach the Emperor Realm.

Since one can’t move while undergoing Space Transmission, Sikong Jing simply waited quietly. From Divine Demon Island to the Transmission Array of the Qianwang Holy Tower, the speed of transmission would still take the better part of more than two hours.

...

The Central Plains were racked by war.

From the time Little Demon Sikong rampaged through the Qianwang Holy Tower up to now, nearly four months had passed.

The war between Overlord Commerce and the Qianwang Holy Tower had gone utterly insane.

After the two sides fought for a month, they rested, then shortly after resumed the nonstop great war; at the same time, more and more Major Sects were being dragged into it, so this war had almost spread across the entire Central Central Plains.

Originally, many people thought Overlord Commerce was basically finished...

Especially after Yao Yulou went missing, it seemed very likely Overlord Commerce wouldn’t be able to withstand the Qianwang Holy Tower’s attacks—but the experts on Overlord Commerce’s side behaved as though injected with chicken blood: one breakthrough after another, each one erupting in madness.

Rumor had it that Overlord Commerce had obtained some fortuitous encounter and possessed a great many Holy Grade items.

After Yao Yulou disappeared, the two sides had fought another bitter, all-out war for nearly two whole months, and now there was actually a trend toward a final decisive battle.

Still on that stretch of land between Overlord Commerce and the Qianwang Holy Tower...

Countless troops and experts were locked in a frenzied standoff.

At this moment... boom!

Pei Kuang suddenly strode heavily out from the Military Formation of Qianwang Holy Tower’s army. He gazed toward the opposite side from afar and said, "Murong Jianyun, today I will completely end this farce and make your Overlord Commerce vanish forever..."

As his words fell... boom!

Pei Kuang’s True Qi exploded across his whole body, and he surged straight into the Fourth Realm of Holy Martial, pressing down onto Overlord Commerce’s side.

The experts on Overlord Commerce’s side all had drastic changes of expression, while Pei Kuang let out a metallic "clang" as his Golden Sword pointed wildly. "Murong Jianyun, I’m already at the Fourth Realm of Holy Martial—what do you have to fight me with?"

After Lady Li had fully unlocked the Heavenly Pattern Treasure Golden Crystal Ball for him, Pei Kuang had finally formally stepped into the Fourth Realm of the Holy Martial Stage.

Setting aside the people from Canghai Wujiang, he was still solidly worthy of the title ’Number One Expert Under Heaven.’

However, a cold snort rang out. "Pei Kuang, we have the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation."

As she spoke, a female figure floated up from Batian’s side—it was none other than Venerable Ba Lian.

But Pei Kuang showed no fear; he stared at Venerable Ba Lian with a leering grin and asked, "Ba Lian, didn’t you go looking for Yao Yulou? Did you find her? Or has Yao Yulou already died for love?"

At these words, both Venerable Ba Lian and Murong Jianyun’s faces turned exceedingly ugly.
