Just like that, new meridians appeared within Sikong Jing's body. Whether it was problematic or not, these were the meridians of the Black Prison Devouring Sky Tiger extending outward, and at this moment, his whole body shook violently!

BOOM...

Only a few meridians were constructed before he broke through, and the True Qi within his body surged madly.

"The meridians of the Black Prison Devouring Sky Tiger are indeed formidable."

Sikong Jing murmured to himself softly and continued to imitate the meridians without comprehension, as if he were studying without understanding the content. He only knew that since he broke through by mirroring the meridians, it indicated that he was right now.

Certainly, like studying without comprehension, even after completing the construction, no Beast Skill would manifest for now.

Because it wasn't self-realized by him...

BOOM BOOM...

As the Black Prison Meridians were constructed more densely, Sikong Jing directly broke through to the Reverse Soul Second Realm, yet he continued relentlessly.

The meridians of the Black Prison Devouring Sky Tiger contained within the Jade Pendant Formation were not so simple.

Beside him, Jiang Wanyou watched Sikong Jing intently, waiting anxiously, while using her blood to drip on Hua Meixi's forehead, striving to delay the explosive moment of the Evil Charm Holy Body.

She now had no other option but to trust her Young Master Sikong.

...

Ten kilometers away from the manor by the lakeside, Yao Yulou and Pei Feishan were still drinking.

They had been drinking for nearly one day and night, with only two hours left until the appointed time. Their faces remained calm from before, entirely unaware of the battle situation in the mountains.

Just as Yao Yulou mentioned before about the wager, they were not receiving any battle reports...

But just then, Yao Yulou suddenly felt something—it was the return of the Little Demonic Rat he gave to Sikong Jing.

It was Sikong Jing's reply...

Yao Yulou quickly immersed himself underground with tension, and the next moment, his body trembled slightly. The words from Sikong Jing read: Hua Meixi's explosive moment is imminent and might be uncontrollable, needing at least an hour.

This reply made Yao Yulou's pupils constrict violently, his hands tightened firmly under the table.

"Yao Bajue, what's your expression? Did you perceive something?" Pei Feishan immediately spotted the issue and asked.

Yao Yulou slightly lifted his head and retracted his tension, smiling lightly.

"Chairman Pei, you jest. What could I perceive? My strength is not as great as Chairman Pei's, really. I just suddenly felt it was so dull, so why don't we play a game of Soldier Killing Chess?"

"After the game, it should be about time."

He wanted to use chess to stall time and divert Pei Feishan's attention.

Thus, the latter would not immediately discover Hua Meixi's potentially explosive evil charm aura.

Pei Feishan did not know what secret plans Yao Yulou had but indeed felt quite bored, so he agreed to play chess.

Time then quietly slipped by as they played chess...

In a flash, an hour passed.

In the back mountain of the manor, Sikong Jing still hadn't completed the full construction of Black Prison Devouring Sky Tiger Meridians within the Jade Pendant, as the Jade Pendant was previously damaged, causing defects in the Array Formation Meridians.

Therefore, Sikong Jing had no choice but to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison, allowing the Black Prison Devouring Sky Tiger to expose the meridians, letting him seek supplementary meridians.

And as an hour passed, Jiang Wanyou's gaze towards Sikong Jing grew increasingly anxious...

Young Master Sikong, why hasn't he completed his said method yet? Could there be some problem?

Young Master previously mentioned it would take at least an hour, meaning an hour later might be the completion time, but now Young Master remains still. How could Jiang Wanyou not be anxious and tense?

Right at this time, Fan Kui returned!

He landed straight away, looking puzzled at the closed-eye Sikong Jing, yet he still spoke heavily: "Brother Sikong, everything is as you anticipated; Shiyu's Army has already pressed into the range marked on your previous map."

"Now, the two-hour time you mentioned has passed, will we begin the counterattack?"

After asking, Fan Kui stared blankly at Sikong Jing, receiving no response from the latter.

Previously, Sikong Jing told him this point was where they could possibly counterattack, and now Shiyu's Army had reached the operational circle as per his strategy, yet Brother Sikong gave no reaction?

Brother Sikong, why is he still sitting with closed eyes?

He glanced towards Hua Meixi in bewilderment, suddenly his whole body shook as the aura emanating from Hua Meixi was far more menacing than before, unclear what it exactly was.

And Aunt Jiang's face was tear-streaked, her entire body shivering violently...

What happened while he was away?

Finally, at this moment, Sikong Jing opened his eyes and spoke quietly, "Delay it a while, hold off until half an hour later. Tell the Sky Wolf brothers to keep retreating, do not make any sacrifices or contact."

After speaking, Sikong Jing closed his eyes again; now, the Black Prison Devouring Sky Tiger meridians were at a critical moment.

He could only delay for half an hour more...

And Sikong Jing knew full well that half an hour would be the limit, as Shiyu Commerce was definitely poised for a full attack within the day. So he now must complete the meridian construction within half an hour.

Additionally, Hua Meixi's side—he could even sense the evil charm aura extending far away.

Wondering how far Yao Yulou is from Wuming Manor.

Could he sense the evil charm aura, could he stall effectively... but in any case, Sikong Jing's sole option now is to calm down, comprehend the incomplete meridians in the Jade Pendant and supplement them into his body.

Time frenzy passed in tension...

As half an hour approached, suddenly an arrogant laughter rang in Sikong Jing's ear, followed by a voice: "You little curs of East Dominator Sky Wolf, turns out you were hiding here."

Jiang Wanyou widened her eyes at the sound, seeing Pei Fenqing unexpectedly appearing in the forest not far away, taking deliberate steps forward.

Beside him was also the powerfully skilled Grandpa Wan San.

Pei Fenqing's stride was relaxed and casual, his expression suggesting everything was within his control.

He walked while saying, "Really made me search for you, you cost me quite some efforts."

With that, Pei Fenqing's eyes narrowed, snidely laughing as he spoke: "Only half an hour left until the full day... within this next half hour, I'll have all of you annihilated."

"Certainly, I've heard Yao Yulou's woman and adopted daughter are Demon Charm Battle Bodies, seems quite interesting."

"Maybe I'll toy with them and return them alive, who knows."

At this, Grandpa Wan San's face turned pallid.

Definitely can't let Jiang Wanyou and Hua Meixi return to the East Dominator Branch. Otherwise, their whole family would face extinction.

But under current circumstances, he certainly dared not say anything.

Opposite, Sikong Jing still remained silent, eyes closed, ignoring them.

"Hmm, are you in cultivation? You've seriously got leisure time, huh."

"Since that's the case, first take a sword stroke for fun."

As the words fell, Pei Fenqing suddenly brandished his sword, an incomparably sharp sword light fiercely slashing towards Sikong Jing...

He didn't know what Sikong Jing was doing—perhaps cultivation, or controlling the Soldier Killing Array, or in deviation.

Anyway, one sword strike would reveal much.
