Sikong Jing of course did not reveal who this master was, and instead gently said, "But when the time comes, I will be temporarily taken away by this master, so don't worry about me then."

As soon as he spoke, Master Wuji, Little Liang, and Xiao Jia couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Xiao Jia hurriedly asked, "Brother Sikong, is it true that summoning such a master requires a tremendous sacrifice?"

Master Wuji also quickly said, "Young Master, if it requires a huge sacrifice, we should think of another way."

Sikong Jing lifted his eyelids and shook his head, "Don't worry, it won't require a huge sacrifice."

Saying this, Sikong Jing silently added in his heart: because that master is myself.

The price, however, is the use of a Pure Spirit Heart once.

The so-called master is, of course, Sikong Jing himself, after being demonized, utilizing a chance reserved on Yin Henzi, which Sikong Jing plans to use for the rescue of Master Wuji and Old Xiu.

This will be far more valuable than eliminating Yin Henzi.

Although Sikong Jing said this, Master Wuji and the others were still somewhat uneasy...

But Sikong Jing did not let them continue, and instead said firmly, "It's settled then. Right now, we don't know where Old Xiu is, but Pei Yufeng is sure to have some general intelligence..."

"When Pei Yufeng begins to attack the town, it means Old Xiu and the others are already near Wanbing City."

"At that time, we will begin to act..."

Just like that, Sikong Jing decisively finalized the plan, and then he returned to the Lingque Secret Realm, continuing his retreat to forge a stronger "Golden Cold Divine Sparrow Technique," for he certainly wouldn't have much time left.

...

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, six days had passed.

In other words, it had been nine days since Sikong Jing slapped Pei Yufeng's face at the Wunian Fox Gate Manor.

It had been eight days since Sikong Jing rescued the Lingque Secret Realm...

At this moment, the entire Wuji Town was surrounded inside and out by the troops of various forces from Wanbing City. To be precise, almost all of Wanbing City and the small nearby cities had mobilized.

For instance, the Wunian Fox Sect had many minor troop forces available in Wanbing City, as did other top forces.

But no matter what kind of force, they were all under Pei Yufeng's control now.

As the son of Pei Kuang from the Qianwang Holy Tower, Pei Yufeng was quite influential.

Venerables like Mieqing Venerable who don't care about him are in the minority, as each sect's Venerable, if disobedient, might even be labeled as remnants of the Su Old Demon.

If it were other matters, it would be negotiable, but when it comes to besieging the remnants of the Su Old Demon, no one dares to act randomly.

Moreover, each sect's Venerable had their own little schemes too; if they could capture Xiu Hanzi, they might gain part of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map, or even trade with forces that had acquired a piece of the map...

There are many benefits, and no one wants to make themselves unwelcome.

Outside Wuji Town, amidst the countless soldiers, a temporary palace had already been built, precisely for Pei Yufeng, and at this moment, Pei Yufeng was inside the palace.

Now, inside the main hall of this temporary palace, Pei Yufeng took his rightful place as the master of the seat.

Below him were Venerables from various sects, but one seat was empty...

From his seat, Pei Yufeng was staring intently at this spot, a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he asked again, "Hasn't the Mieqing Venerable of the Wunian Saint Sect arrived yet? Ice King Sect Master, didn't you send someone to inform her?"

His voice carried a chill, and even after a full nine days, Pei Yufeng could not let go of the conflict at the Wunian Fox Gate Manor, harboring extreme resentment in his heart.

It was the biggest stain in Pei Yufeng's life, and when he returned to the Ice King Tower after that, he didn't know how many times he spat blood.

How could he possibly forget?

Whether it's Mieqing Venerable or Sikong Buwang, even Wanbing City's Wunian Fox Sect people... he won't spare any of them.

With Pei Yufeng's question, the entire main hall suddenly fell silent.

The eyes of each Venerable flickered incessantly.

Among the dozen or so Venerables in the hall now, half had witnessed Sikong Buwang's intense face-slapping of Pei Yufeng, and the other half had heard about it.

As the major battle approaches, the absence of Mieqing Venerable naturally sparks various thoughts.

Pei Yufeng bringing her up under these circumstances also leads to certain associations among people.

At the same time, behind the Venerables stood their strongest disciples.

For instance, behind Beiming Hanshan's Han Dong Venerable was Xu He, who had previously been defeated by Sikong Jing. These geniuses' eyes also flickered with a strange light, having heard from the Venerables about Sikong Buwang's terrifying might.

The existence of a Nine-grade Battle Body, and even Multi-fighting Body, sent chills up one's spine.

Previously at the Ice King Round Tower, being thoroughly defeated by him was not unjust, and they likely would never win against him in their lifetime.

After a slight hesitation, the Ice King Sect Master stepped out and said, "Young Master Pei, I personally went to deliver the notice, but the only one left in the Wunian Fox Gate Manor was a disciple who informed Qi Wuji; she said Mieqing Venerable was in seclusion."

Currently, Renyou had already brought the many members of the Fox Sect to the outside of Wuji Town, faster than anyone.

Sikong Ling was also in seclusion, and with Bi Xian and other women being imprisoned, only Wen Luo was left moving freely in the manor.

The Ice King Sect Master intentionally mentioned Wen Luo's notice to Qi Wuji to attack the Wunian Saint Sect.

"Such a grudging Mieqing Venerable!"

Pei Yufeng chuckled lightly, feigning magnanimity, "And what about Sikong Buwang? Where is he?"

The Venerables below raised their eyebrows slightly at his words, those with clear minds could see that he was the one holding a grudge.

However, the Venerables naturally said nothing.

The Ice King Sect Master again softly replied, "That Wunian female disciple couldn't say, nor does she know where Sikong Buwang went."

Pei Yufeng's brows furrowed tightly, and his fists quietly clenched.

With the town's siege about to unfold, it was the perfect moment for revenge, only to find both Mieqing Venerable and Sikong Buwang absent.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Yufeng calmed himself and said, "Then let it go for now, we have more important matters to discuss. Today, I gathered all the Venerables to prepare for the attack on Wuji Town."

Upon hearing this, the Venerables were not surprised, as they had already anticipated it.

At this time, a Venerable voiced a question: "Young Master Pei, is it because there's news of Xiu Hanzi?"

Now all the Venerables were aware that the target of the Qianwang Holy Tower was indeed Xiu Hanzi.

"Yes, there's intelligence showing some strange activity in the general area of Wanbing City."

"We can basically confirm that Xiu Hanzi has appeared with others."

"Therefore, I plan to launch an attack on Wuji Town to determine Xiu Hanzi's current position, to lure the snake out of the hole."

Following Pei Yufeng's explanation, some Venerables felt disappointed.

It turned out to be just confirming Xiu Hanzi's entry into the Wanbing City area, not truly finding them.

At this point, Han Dong Venerable softly inquired, "In that case, the upcoming attack on Wuji Town is only a small-scale operation?"
