Just like that, the people from the Zhengling Sect disappeared into the entrance, followed by those from Chang Nushan and Pei Fenyi, who left harsh threats for Sikong Jing before flashing inside one by one.

The fourth to enter was the Refining Copper Manor, who also cast Sikong Jing odd glances before swiftly entering.

Finally, it was the turn of the Weng Family.

However, all the surrounding eyes from the small and medium forces were filled with a subtle yearning…

Previously, only the people from the Four Major Forces knew that Sikong Jing carried an Emperor's Artifact, and the small and medium forces did not participate in setting the rules.

But after Pei Fenyi's threats, now everyone knew, and they couldn't help but be interested.

"Pei Fenyi is simply brainless, Junior Brother Sikong…"

Upon witnessing this, Zhang Duiyin couldn't help but curse angrily and then turned to Sikong Jing to say something.

However, Sikong Jing gently interrupted, "We just have to face it. If this Soul Snatching Battle were a deathmatch from the start, it would still be quite interesting, since we have no retreat."

His voice was very calm, yet he needed to instill confidence in everyone, indicating that even without this Emperor's Artifact matter, the Wunian Saint Sect would attempt to kill them. It was just right for the people of the Weng Family to take others as warm-ups.

"Let's go, we're going in."

Sikong Jing declared resolutely, then flashed into the top of the palace's entrance to the Soul Snatching Battlefield.

In an instant, all five hundred people from the Weng Family vanished.

Afterward, the disciples and reinforcements of the small and medium forces began to enter, leaving the previously bustling palace suddenly quiet, with only the leaders of the major forces remaining. The next moment… humming sounds ensued.

One Life Lamp after another appeared in the palace. Now, to judge whether the disciples survived, they could only see if their Life Lamp extinguished.

At this moment, the Old Woman from Mochen Courtyard approached the Old Monster and asked, "Senior, do you know what the Emperor Martial Stage Spirit Shadow is this time?"

She was truly curious…

The Old Monster slightly raised his head and unexpectedly responded happily, "Have you heard of the Fierce Beast Night Charm? It's related to that."

Upon hearing this, the Old Woman paused, recalling the legends of the Night Charm, though she knew little. However, something that could restore youth must be truly miraculous. She wondered if she could ask for some of its essence afterward.

The Old Woman touched her wrinkled face, filled with anticipation.

...

On the Soul Snatching Battlefield, Sikong Jing appeared on a dim little hill.

But he suddenly froze, as no one was around him, Weng Ting, Hua Meixi, and others all completely disappeared.

Just moments ago, it felt as though he had passed through a Time-Space Tunnel, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself here.

Not long after, a slightly trembling voice sounded from below the little hill: "Sikong Genius, why can't we sense the young miss and the others at all? In past Soul Snatching Battlefields, we wouldn't be separated like this. Why is this time different?"

When Sikong Jing looked down, he saw a young member of the Weng Family standing beneath the hill, wearing a bamboo hat on his head.

The person, raising his head, revealed a face filled with anxiety and confusion.

Hoping Sikong Jing would provide answers, he shouted as he charged up the hill; the feeling of separation was truly terrifying.

But how could Sikong Jing answer?

Weng Ting had previously explained that after entering the Soul Snatching Battlefield, they wouldn't be separated, unlike the Spiritual Shadow Array at the Old Man Spirit Manor. Yet, even he now couldn't sense anyone else's presence.

As Sikong Jing remained puzzled, his gaze suddenly fixed, and he called out, "Be careful!"

Hardly had he spoken, when the young Weng Family member racing up to meet Sikong Jing froze.

Then… howl!

A piercing scream emerged from right below his feet, followed by a humanoid phantom darting upwards.

In an instant, it burrowed into the young Weng family member's body, causing him to let out a miserable cry, "Spirit Shadow…"

Indeed, the attacking entity was a Spirit Shadow from the Soul Snatching Battlefield.

This wasn't the fake Spirit Shadows from the Spiritual Shadow Array; it was genuinely existent, and it had already fully merged into the Weng family member's body, now writhing uncomfortably.

It was apparent it aimed to plunge into his Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness.

Sikong Jing's pupils constricted, not daring to hesitate.

With a flash, he leaped from the hill, but just then, a second piercing scream erupted beneath his feet, with another Spirit Shadow emerging from the depths…

Like the first Spirit Shadow, it aimed directly at Sikong Jing's feet to burrow into his body.

Instantly, Sikong Jing flashed a cold light in his eyes, yet he didn't immediately fend off the Spirit Shadow's assault but allowed it to dart into his body… resembling how it was during the Spiritual Shadow Array, he intended to first experience the sensation of a real Spirit Shadow.

He possessed absolute confidence in resisting the impact of this Spirit Shadow since it was merely of the Spirit Movement Realm.

At this moment, rescue was crucial!

Allowing the Spirit Shadow to enter, Sikong Jing still lunged toward the waist of the hill where the young Weng family member was, swiftly arriving in front of him, then stretched out his finger toward the latter's brow in a swift motion…

"Howl!"

The Spirit Shadow within the young Weng family member sensed obstruction, instantly letting out an angry, piercing scream, then swiftly lunged from Sikong Jing's finger toward Sikong Jing.

All at once, it detached from the young Weng family member…

At this moment, Sikong Jing braced against attacks and invasions from both Spirit Shadows.

Sikong Jing could clearly sense both Spirit Shadows frantically aiming for his Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness, with the second Spirit Shadow being of the Spirit Martial Stage Sea Soaring Realm, namely, the fourth Great Realm of the Spirit Martial Stage!

This spurred a chilling gleam in his eyes. After a brief contemplation, he still permitted the two Spirit Shadows to infiltrate his Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness.

As soon as they entered, Sikong Jing's Spirit Shadow swiftly attacked.

Though both Spirit Shadows' realms were significantly higher, they were mere remnants of deceased beings; the intensity of Sikong Jing's current Spirit Shadow sufficiently destroyed them and even allowed him to absorb their power.

Despite this, the invasion of the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness caused Sikong Jing a slight discomfort, akin to tumultuous waves within his Spirit Platform.

After several breaths, Sikong Jing finally eradicated both Spirit Shadows completely and let their remnant powers disperse within his Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness for comprehension and insights. Simultaneously, he slowly opened his eyes.

Before him, the young Weng family member propped himself up, trembling as he stood, his face now pale as a sheet.

"Sikong Genius, are you alright?" The young Weng family member spoke first, his voice tinged with hoarseness and fear.

Sikong Jing gently shook his head and replied, "I'm fine. How about you?"

"I'm alright too, but if it weren't for Sikong Genius's intervention, my Spiritual Platform would've shattered beyond recovery."

The young Weng family member's voice trembled intensely when he reached this point, and suddenly added, "But why did this happen? That seemed like a Spirit Shadow of the Sea Soaring Realm, and why did we get separated upon entry, encountering such entities right away?"

He now gained another question.

Entering Soul Snatching Battlefield, they weren't supposed to meet Spirit Shadows of the Sea Soaring Realm right away.
