Chapter 2156: To Survive, Loyalty Is the Only Way
The eyes of more than a dozen disciples from Beiming Hanshan gleamed coldly, and they became invigorated following Xu He’s words.
The next moment, the chief disciple finally made up his mind and said, "Xu He, now follow Sikong Buwang secretly. Don’t let him out of your sight. He is strong, but he absolutely wouldn’t dare to make a scene and run wildly in Fenglei City."
"Meanwhile, I will immediately notify the Mountain Master, and we will stay in contact at all times."
As soon as the words fell, the disciples of Beiming Hanshan immediately split up and took action.
But of course, they wouldn’t notify Qianwang Holy Tower about Sikong Buwang’s appearance right now. Reporting now wouldn’t take the credit away that they could claim themselves.
Soon, Xu He caught up with Sikong Jing who was walking slowly ahead...
He then said to his fellow disciples, "We must prepare and hide well, and absolutely cannot let him discover us."
Thus, the disciples of Beiming Hanshan who had caught up split into several groups, positioning themselves along the paths Sikong Jing might take. They are usually confident and accustomed, even admitting Sikong Jing’s terror they are confident they won’t be discovered by him.
The disciples from various major sects currently have this kind of problem...
In their territory, they are the Heaven’s Chosen Sons, they call the wind and rain and are revered by countless people. Naturally, they believe legends are just legends, and what the truth really is remains uncertain.
They think that even if they truly encounter the Demon Master Sikong, they can fight.
As for whether Sikong Buwang is the Demon Master Sikong or not, it cannot be confirmed 100% at the moment.
In reality, Sikong Buwang hasn’t noticed their pursuit at all and still looks like he’s leisurely strolling.
At this time, the street was also crowded, similarly filled with many young disciples from various sects, so the disciples of Beiming Hanshan felt even more confident that their covert surveillance could be seamless...
Sikong Jing now indeed appeared very leisurely, not in a hurry.
For him, the young disciples of various major sects pose no threat anymore. His opponents have already become Emperors, or even top-level Emperors, so naturally, he ignores Xu He and others’ tracking and surveillance.
Shaking them off is just a blink of an eye, and Sikong Jing is not planning to shake them off temporarily.
Step by step walking on the street, an hour later, Sikong Jing arrives at a sparsely populated residential street.
Here, all are high gateways and large courtyards, specifically set up by Qianwang Holy Tower to host the strong of various major sects.
At this moment, he walks to a corner of one of the large courtyards.
Then, Sikong Jing suddenly moved his ear slightly. With his powerful hearing and utilizing the Little Demon Beast, he immediately hears various urgent breaths coming from inside this large courtyard.
At the same time, an old voice appears frantically...
"Luo Chunye, you’re going to bring disaster to our entire Wanlu Sect, aren’t you?"
"I told you not to drink, not to drink, even if you did, you should instantly expel the smell of alcohol from your body, why didn’t you listen?"
"What nonsense have you gotten into? Qianwang Holy Tower is about to come looking to hold us accountable."
This old angry voice is of course the elder of that Brother Luo from earlier in the restaurant.
And that Brother Luo’s name is Luo Chunye.
Obviously, at this time he was being reprimanded by elders of his sect, Wanlu Sect.
Sikong Jing naturally came here intentionally.
In the restaurant earlier, he said, since someone supports him and Overlord Commerce, then of course, he wants to rescue them.
And already in the restaurant, Sikong Jing had learned all the background about this Brother Luo, and just now asked on the street about the location of the courtyard where Wanlu Sect was staying. So, he leisurely arrived here.
Sikong Jing was not in much of a hurry, nor did he immediately enter Wanlu Sect’s large courtyard, since he intended to rescue, he also wanted to make a bit of a scene...
So naturally, he would wait for the people from Qianwang Holy Tower to appear before taking action.
At this time, Sikong Jing walked past the corner of the large courtyard and continued heading towards the main gate of the large courtyard where Wanlu Sect was staying, while the nervous voice of Brother Luo, Luo Chunye, came to his ears...
"I didn’t expect to drink so much all of a sudden."
"There shouldn’t be any problem, Qianwang Holy Tower shouldn’t be that petty. If something really goes wrong, I’ll go out and take responsibility myself, definitely not dragging the sect into this."
His voice hadn’t fallen yet... Bang!
A heavy slam resounded inside, along with Luo Chunye’s muffled grunt.
Apparently, the elder couldn’t resist hitting him, and then the elder who had just been speaking for Wanlu Sect said in a low voice...
"Qianwang Holy Tower has always been this petty."
"Summoning the entire world here to Qianwang Holy Tower for the Ten Emperor Battle is just to intimidate and whip us sects, to see who doesn’t support their Qianwang Holy Tower, making non-supporters suffer."
"And as Wanlu Sect’s chief disciple, do you think you can bear this alone?"
"They will kill you, then force us to pay a price, understand?"
With the elder of Wanlu Sect’s somber voice, the entire large courtyard instantly quieted down, and inside the courtyard emerged various urgent breaths until the panicked Luo Chunye asked what to do next.
At this moment, Luo Chunye seemed truly frightened, and the elder’s voice spoke again...
"We cannot leave, the entire Fenglei City has been sealed, and we can’t enter or exit."
"Next, we can only pledge allegiance to Qianwang Holy Tower."
"Only this way can we keep you alive, they will surely soon come to capture you for incarceration, and I and the entire Wanlu Sect must pray for Qianwang Holy Tower’s mercy."
With such words, the breathing in the courtyard seemed frozen, accompanied by intense unwillingness.
After a few breaths, Luo Chunye fell to his knees and said, "Master, you can disregard my life and death..."
Before his words fell, his master, the elderly voice, heavily interrupted...
"Do you think disregarding your life and death would leave our Wanlu Sect unscathed?"
"Ignoring you means our Wanlu Sect must sacrifice you and fight against Qianwang Holy Tower to the end, representing our intent to ally with Overlord Commerce. Then, no one could leave Qianwang Holy Tower’s territory."
His voice was squeezed out through his teeth, and suddenly, the Wanlu Sect courtyard felt terrifyingly lifeless.
If we ignore Luo Chunye’s fate and don’t apologize, Qianwang Holy Tower would certainly think... How dare you not care even about your chief disciple, if not wanting to fight against Qianwang Holy Tower, what else could you want?
And just when the people of Wanlu Sect were at a loss for what to do... Whoosh!
A sudden gust swept over, a squad of Qianwang Knights transformed into streaming light and charged towards the large courtyard where Wanlu Sect was staying.
In just a moment, they appeared at the main gate of the courtyard...
Subsequently, the leading knight looked over with a sinister smile at the Wanlu Sect courtyard, coldly speaking: "Wanlu Sect Master, I am Qiu Leiyin, one of Fenglei City’s Ten Generals, come out and meet me."
Instantly, the atmosphere in Wanlu Sect courtyard plunged to freezing point.
But just a few breaths later, the people of Wanlu Sect appeared at the door led by an old man, while Brother Luo, Luo Chunye, had already been tied up and was being held by the old man.
This old man was the one who had been speaking all the time, Luo Chunye’s master, and, of course, also the Sect Leader of Wanlu Sect.
