Chapter 657: They Were All Played by Him
At this moment, Gongyang Ren finally understood, and his body was brimming with a killing aura!
Sikong Jing had slain the real Soul Eater Leader and taken his place as the Soul Eater, starting to lay out his plans with his own granddaughter, Gongyang Ying. His true purpose was only one, to ambush Mo Ci within the Imperial Advisor Mansion.
The reason he had not laid a hand on Ying’er, the reason he controlled the mountain bandits to not kill the common people, was not because of his deep love, nor was it because he wanted to wash the mountain bandits’ reputation clean again.
It was because... he was not the truly evil-filled Soul Eater Leader.
The reason he was not the extraordinary second realm as rumored, but only in the Daoist Martial Realm and with terrifying combat strength, was precisely because he was Sikong Jing.
The reason he did not become a personal guard was not out of fear of being misunderstood, but to set up the environment for the assassination of Mo Ci.
The reason he killed Gong Bei Qiang to escape surveillance was not just to deliver the Thousand-year-old White Ginseng, but to kill Lian Zhiyu and thereby spread his name throughout the entire War Soul Imperial City, luring Mo Ci out.
And the appearance of the Iron Bone Flying Vulture out of nowhere was because it was the Little Flying Vulture that Sikong Jing brought with him the second time he appeared at the Imperial Advisor Mansion!
From the moment Sikong Jing appeared as the Soul Eater, everything was prepared for Mo Ci.
Whether it was himself or his granddaughter Gongyang Ying, whether it was any academy, everyone was deceived by him, used by him.
