In the chase behind, Hua Meixi could completely feel that the assassins were always targeting her, and then asked, "Is it because of Pei Fenqing's death, which was due to me?"

If Jiang Wanyou had not been kidnapped, Pei Fenqing would not have appeared at Wuming Manor and would not have been killed by Sikong Jing.

Regarding this, Sikong Jing was also unclear.

Although he had interrogated an assassin, the latter was just following orders.

At this moment, a clear and light male voice sounded, "Because the Shi'an Leader found it difficult to deal with Sikong Jing, and because they needed Meixi as a hostage to negotiate with me and the Great Dominator Technique."

As the voice fell, Hua Meixi exclaimed in delight, "Uncle Yao!"

At the same time, Weng Ting and Zhang Duiyi's siblings also looked over.

They saw Yao Yulou, in flowing white robes, settle on the bow of the ship, and the three of them quickly bowed slightly, saying, "Greetings, Yao Bajue."

Sikong Jing merely nodded slightly at Yao Yulou, not surprised by his appearance.

The fact remains that Sikong Jing was aware of the presence of powerful individuals from Shiyu and East Dominator around the Spiritual Shadow Array.

At this time, Yao Yulou slowly stepped forward and then began explaining the origins of the Shiyu assassins and the matters relating to the negotiations.

"In other words, the Great Dominator Technique took Pei Fenyi as a hostage, so Shiyu Commerce needed an equivalent hostage for negotiation, thus they shifted their target to Meixi," Yao Yulou emphatically said.

Following that, Yao Yulou smirked, "They consider Sikong Jing to be an add-on, not matching up to Pei Fenyi."

This statement was full of sarcasm, mocking Pei Feishan for being blind.

But this is still human nature; those who haven't experienced it would never equate Sikong Jing with a true Combat Body genius.

After hearing this, everyone kept their eyes fixed on Sikong Jing.

Zhang Duiyin couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother Sikong, on your way here, did you eliminate two assassins at the peak of the Spirit Martial Stage?"

What Yao Yulou just mentioned was precisely because Sikong Jing had eliminated two assassins at the peak of the Spirit Martial Stage.

But this matter is truly incredible.

To kill a Spirit Movement Realm assassin at the Reverse Soul Realm is already shocking enough, let alone an assassin at the Spirit Martial Stage Peak, how could it be possible?

Meanwhile, Yao Yulou and Hua Meixi also closely observed Sikong Jing, finding it hard to believe it and truly curious about how Sikong Jing managed it...

Feeling the gazes around him, Sikong Jing could only say, "They underestimated me too much, and my luck was indeed too good."

After disrupting the space, they were still somewhat captured by the Soul Returning Mirror, so Sikong Jing could only say this. He didn't want to mention or could not speak about a series of extraordinary methods like cutting open the Iron Bone Flying Vulture.

The people around twitched their mouths; these were assassins at the peak of the Spirit Martial Stage. Could this be explained by underestimation and luck?

"In fact, it was the Emperor's Artifact I lent to Brother Sikong that handled it."

Seeing the disbelief in everyone's eyes, Yao Yulou fell silent for a moment before speaking again. He provided a reason that everyone knew and accepted for helping Sikong Jing. As for the truth... it should be his Blood Devouring Dragon Pearl.

Actually, using the Emperor's Artifact isn't wrong...

Not dwelling on it further, Yao Yulou shifted the topic, "Regarding the outcome of the negotiation, because Shiyu Commerce did not capture any hostages, we naturally had the upper hand, and Pei Feishan could not send people to secretly attack Sikong Jing who was participating in the Soul Snatching Battle."

Everyone was slightly stunned, and Hua Meixi couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Yao, is that all?"

Capturing Pei Fenyi for negotiation only to stop Pei Feishan from sending people to attack Sikong Jing seems too inadequate, doesn't it?

"Of course, there's also extracting the names of several spies hidden within our East Dominator Branch,"

Yao Yulou smiled and then continued, "In any case, the original plan of the Great Dominator Technique was for Brother Sikong to leave Hanluan City for a while, thus avoiding the reprisal from Shiyu Commerce."

"But who knows what hidden spies might know? Without this negotiation, Shiyu Commerce's pursuit would have been endless."

The real reason why Duanmu Chun suddenly went to capture Pei Fenyi was precisely this.

It allowed Sikong Jing and Weng Ting to participate in the Soul Snatching Battle with peace of mind; the humiliation and revenge on Pei Feishan were merely by-products.

Even forcing Pei Feishan to reveal several hidden spies was just an incidental condition.

"Of course, we can't trust Pei Feishan's assurances, so the Great Dominator Technique poisoned Pei Fenyi. If Shiyu Commerce dares to send assassins again, the Great Dominator Technique will let Pei Fenyi... die!"

With Yao Yulou's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

"But Pei Feishan is unlikely to be content, so Pei Fenyi will soon become an ally of some force in East Spirit City and participate in the Soul Snatching Battle. If Brother Sikong dies in the Soul Snatching Battle, Pei Feishan can't be blamed."

"Even if Brother Sikong dies, we must cure Pei Fenyi of the poison."

Yao Yulou spoke deeply here, "You must be cautious; this woman is a genius even stronger than Pei Fenqing."

Instantly, a cold gleam flashed in Weng Ting and Zhang Duiyi's eyes, their whole bodies full of battle intent.

Being mortal enemies with Shiyu Commerce, is to crush Shiyu geniuses is their goal.

"There is another matter, Brother Sikong, you have made great contributions again!"

"Now I will announce the reward from the Great Dominator Technique for you."

This statement caused Weng Ting and others to tremble slightly, eyeing Sikong Jing intently.

And Sikong Jing clasped his fists with some surprise, genuinely curious about what reward Duanmu Chun would give him now. Unlike before, when the rewards were given reluctantly, it's probably sincere this time?

Buzz...

At this moment, a light flashed in Yao Yulou's hands, and he said, "A spear, a sword, and a suit of battle armor; all are spiritual-grade ultimate spiritual weapons, which will help you seize the flag in the Soul Snatching Battle competition."

A sharp gleam flashed in Weng Ting and the others' eyes. Although they weren't envious, it was evident that Duanmu Chun placed great importance on Sikong Jing.

It is extremely rare for a non-combatant to receive such a reward.

"These three spiritual weapons are a reward for slaying the Shiyu killer and maintaining the reputation and the lives of Meixi and others of the East Dominator Branch."

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing was once again surprised. Was there another reward?

Just as Sikong Jing expected, Yao Yulou continued, "And, because of your actions, the Great Dominator Technique uncovered an extremely key Shiyu spy, so you'll receive another reward."

As he finished speaking, a light flashed again in Yao Yulou's hands, and a round bead appeared.

The bead was transparent, with a small demon beast roaring repeatedly inside it. Yao Yulou gently handed the bead to Sikong Jing, explaining, "This is the Spiritual Shadow Pearl, within it is the spiritual shadow of a demon beast enclosed with prohibitions."

As the words fell, Sikong Jing trembled slightly, unable to suppress a sharp glint in his eyes.

"The original intention of the Great Dominator Technique is to let you experience the true human clan spiritual shadow in advance, but our East Dominator Branch does not have a spiritual shadow of an Emperor Martial Stage human clan powerhouse. Of course, we have those in the Spirit Martial Heavenly King Realm, but it's not quite enough."

"Thus, the Great Dominator Technique decided to reward you with the spiritual shadow of an Emperor Martial Stage demon beast."

"This Soul Snatching Battle is about snatching the spiritual shadow of an Emperor Martial Stage existence."

"Although this current spiritual shadow is of a demon beast, sensing the spiritual shadow of an Emperor Martial Stage existence in advance is still more beneficial to you than a human clan's Spirit Martial Heavenly King Realm spiritual shadow."

Although the Spiritual Shadow from before the present is quite something…

Without dwelling on it further, Yao Yulou shifted the topic, "Regarding the result of the negotiation, since the Shiyu Commerce didn't manage to take any hostages, we're at a complete advantage. Pei Feishan can no longer secretly attack Sikong Jing, who is participating in the Soul Snatching War."

Everyone was slightly taken aback, and Hua Meixi couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Yao, is that all?"

Taking Pei Fenyi hostage just to prevent Pei Feishan from sending people to attack Sikong Jing, isn't that a bit too inadequate?"

"Of course, there's also making Pei Feishan reveal a few spies hidden within our East Dominator Branch," Yao Yulou chuckled, then added, "In any case, the Great Dominator Technique's goal was to have Brother Sikong leave Hanluan City for a while, to avoid retaliation from Shiyu Commerce."

"But who knows what hidden spies have learned If it weren't for this negotiation, the pursuit from Shiyu Commerce would have been endless."

The real reason Duanmu Chun suddenly went and captured Pei Fenyi was precisely because of this.

It allows Sikong Jing and Weng Ting to participate in the Soul Snatching Battle with peace of mind, and slapping Pei Feishan and retaliating were just added bonuses.

Even forcing Pei Feishan to reveal a few hidden spies was just an additional condition.

"Of course, we can't trust Pei Feishan's assurance, so the Great Dominator Technique put poison on Pei Fenyi. If Shiyu Commerce dares to send assassins again, the Great Dominator Technique will let Pei Fenyi... die!"

With Yao Yulou's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
