In the Soul Snatching Battlefield, Sikong Jing and the young man from the Weng family continued to advance toward the nearest summit.

But the road to the mountain wears out even the horses, and though their speed was not slow, the mountain was still far away. Only after running the entire day did they finally reach the foot of the mountain.

During this time, they encountered another corpse of a disciple from the Weng family.

They also experienced a stealth assault from a disciple of Han Nu Mountain, which Sikong Jing easily resolved... Throughout this, they could sense some hidden threats lurking in the shadows.

As long as no attack was initiated against them, Sikong Jing ignored it.

Of course, Sikong Jing also encountered many spiritual shadows, among which were demon beast spirit shadows...

However, these demon beast spirit shadows were only at the Spirit Martial Stage, with residual wills not strong enough to provide any useful clues, though they instinctively feared and revered him as the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.

"Ah Xie, let's go up."

By now, Sikong Jing naturally knew the young man's name from the Weng family; he was called Weng Xie.

Thus, the two of them quickly ascended the mountain.

Soon, they reached the summit, and Sikong Jing climbed high to look afar, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings of the mountain.

Gradually, a gleam flashed in his eyes as he slowly said, "It truly is a battlefield."

What is called the Soul Snatching Battlefield is East Spirit City's name for this mysterious place, signifying the battlefield between the various forces of East Spirit City. However, what Sikong Jing meant was, before it was sealed, it was indeed a real battlefield.

Now, he might only be observing the tip of the iceberg, but there is enough evidence to discern that a brutal war had once taken place here.

You could see some terrain configurations, some remaining damaged battle castles, and even sense residual vibes of Soldier Killing Arrays, weak yet abundant and chaotic...

This proved that the wars here happened more than once; many commanders brought Soldier Killing Arrays here.

"Indeed, that's why there are so many spiritual shadows here, all ancient soldiers who died here."

Ah Xie nodded heavily in response, "But this battlefield cemetery still contains various Soldier Killing Array powers. Under the impact of these diverse forces, every entry is full of unpredictable changes, and our understanding in East Spirit City is very limited."

Sikong Jing nodded slightly, though they were at a relatively high place, finding the people of the Weng family was still difficult.

"Now we have eight Mechanical Messenger Birds, let's try releasing one," Sikong Jing spoke lowly.

Since they found three corpses from the Weng family, they now have eight Mechanical Messenger Birds in hand. Releasing them might allow them to see or sense Weng family members if they are nearby.

Upon hearing, Ah Xie responded, and then prepared to release one Mechanical Messenger Bird...

But suddenly, Sikong Jing's hand grasped his.

Then, he sharply looked at a completely leafless old dried tree in the distance and issued a low shout, "Who's there, come out."

Ah Xie's hand slightly froze and trembled, almost dropping the Mechanical Messenger Bird, and he too sharply gazed at the old dried tree.

On the mountain, someone was indeed hiding in the shadows.

In the next moment, a scoffing voice suddenly rang out, "You've detected me. It seems you, East Dominator junior, have some skills. I originally wanted to use your Mechanical Messenger Bird to find Weng Ting."

As the voice fell, a figure gradually came out from behind the old dried tree.

He wore a full green robe and bore a sly smile.

Ah Xie's pupils shrank violently, and he instinctively took a step back, exclaiming, "Mochen Courtyard's second talent, Chen Er."

As the words fell, he nervously swallowed his saliva and then looked to Sikong Jing beside him.

Now things were dangerous. This was Mochen Courtyard's second talent, his strength far surpassing the Weng family's second talent, Weng Wu. He was in the Fifth Realm of Spiritual Battle Stage and also possessed a Fifth Grade Battle Body.

This generation of Mochen Courtyard's young talents were indeed powerful, producing two Fifth Grade Battle Bodies.

How did things become this coincidental, can Sikong Genius handle it?

Nonetheless, Sikong Jing's face remained unchanged, "It's not just one of you, come out as well."

Upon hearing, Ah Xie's pupils contracted again, and then another person stepped out...

Upon seeing this person, Ah Xie's body trembled uncontrollably. This one was Refining Copper Manor's outsider disciple, from Refining Copper Mountain.

Yet sensing the aura on him, Ah Xie let out a slight sigh.

This was merely an external hire from the Martial Battle Realm, not as terrifying.

Then, Sikong Jing surprisingly said further, "A disciple from Wunian Saint Sect, aren't you planning to reveal yourself as well?"

Upon these words, Ah Xie almost toppled over, as there was actually still a disciple from Wunian Saint Sect behind the dried tree, what level of disciple was it? Please don't let it be a presence from the Spiritual Battle Realm.

Yet the next instant, a horrifying intent swept out from behind the dried tree, bringing a powerful ice-cold force.

Wasn't it the Spiritual Battle Realm Peak, what else could it be?

Then, an icy white figure slowly walked out from behind the old dried tree. She spoke coldly, "Interesting, a mere Martial Battle Realm can detect my aura, I heard you bear an Emperor's Artifact?"

Her voice was extremely cold, devoid of any emotion.

Before Sikong Jing could respond, Ah Xie pointed at her, shouting, "How could you be from the Spiritual Battle Realm... Wasn't it supposed to be that man named Ah Shi and the one called Si Yan?"

According to East Spirit City's agreement among the forces, external hires were limited to two from the Spiritual Battle Realm.

Supposedly, since Ah Shi was deemed so important by the Old Monster, he would definitely be Wunian Saint Sect's strongest talent this time, and Si Yan had engaged with Pei Fenyi, so it's fully confirmed they were Spiritual Battle Realm.

But the tall woman before them wasn't Si Yan.

Couldn't Ah Shi be not from the Spiritual Battle Realm, merely from the Martial Combat Stage?

Yet subsequent to Mochen Courtyard Chen Er's reply, desperation almost overwhelmed Ah Xie.

Chen Er again scoffed, "Your Weng family was late, we at Mochen Courtyard had already gained approval from all East Spirit City forces to bring five external hires from the Spiritual Battle Realm."

Once the voice fell, Ah Xie opened his mouth wide in disbelief, then his face gradually flushed.

Initially, Weng family's confidence was rooted in that, no matter how terrifyingly powerful Wunian Saint Sect was, they could only have up to two from the Spiritual Battle Realm. Yet now, entering the Soul Snatching Battlefield already, told they had five all from the Spiritual Battle Realm.

What permission from various forces, it must have been strong coercion by the Old Monster, right?

Sikong Jing stood next to Ah Xie, without showing any expression, but inwardly sighed softly... He actually thought about this possibility earlier, just saying it might shatter Weng Ting and their confidence.

And it was mere speculation, never foreseeing Wunian Saint Sect's Old Monster to be so shameless.

Typically, even the supreme powers do care for their reputation.

On the surface, they would still respect local customs and so on, however, seemingly that Old Monster completely disregards this, and perhaps it's the conduct style of those heartless beings at Wunian Saint Sect.
